Chapter 756: Spreading Superstitious Ideas Is Prohibited! Overturning a Huge City Is as Easy as Peeling Off a Piece of Paper!

The flames of Xiaobei City had not yet been extinguished, and Handan City had already started another battle.

This time, Ying Chengjiao did not just attack the north wall of Xiaobei City, but ordered the army to attack the four cities of Handan City from all directions.

The battle situation returned to the familiar script of the Zhao generals.

But Sima Shang was still full of anxiety in his heart, and even rode his horse to the west gate of Xiwang City, and kept shouting: "Order the captain Zhao Yang to line up outside the west gate and hold on."

"There is no need to stop all the Qin troops, but you must nail them outside the west gate to contain the Qin army!"

"Order the doctor Guo Chang to order all eunuchs to climb the city, hold crossbows, and assist in the battle!"

"Order the captain Ma Fuxun to leave the city from the east gate of Xiwang City and attack Qin Le Xun's troops from the side!"

Le Xun, who led more than 20,000 fresh troops, lived up to Ying Chengjiao's expectations and crashed into the west gate of Xiwang City with the most resolute attitude.

The remaining soldiers of Zhao Yang were exhausted and demoralized, and could not withstand the fierce attack of Le Xun's troops.

Xiwang City was also the location of Zhao Wang Palace, and it must not be lost.

Sima Shang had to dispatch troops from various units to gather here, turning this place into the most tragic battlefield!

"Charge! Seize the city!"

"Zhao Chunping is dead! The main force of the Zhao army is dead! When will you surrender?!"

"The first to climb the city must belong to our unit! Soldiers, kill!"

"Protect the city wall at all costs, kill the Qin dog!"

As the shouts and screams were heard, a messenger came galloping and shouted: "Report!"

"Nearly 20,000 Qin troops are stationed in the south of Dongwang City!"

"One is the unit of Qin Duwei Qiang Huai, and the other is the unit of Qin Duwei Su Jiao!"

As a direct participant in the Battle of Fukou Xing, Sima Shang heard the name of Su Jiao and He was horrified and asked hurriedly: "Has Qin Duwei Su Jiao launched a large-scale attack on the city?"

The messenger shook his head and said: "Qin Duwei Qiang Huai is attacking the city wall."

"Qin Duwei Su Jiao's troops are leading the army to dig tunnels outside the city!"

Sima Shang looked strange: "Qin Duwei Su Jiao is digging a tunnel?"

"And was discovered by our army?!"

The messenger's eyes were also a little strange: "Qin Duwei Su Jiao's troops dug a tunnel three hundred feet outside the city."

"Although it is beyond the range of our army's crossbows, it can be seen clearly on the top of the city."

The art of hole attack is not uncommon.

The information that Ying Chengjiao used the art of hole attack when attacking Chu has long been presented to the generals of various countries.

Sima Shang was not surprised that Ying Chengjiao would use hole attack in this battle.

But the key to hole attack is concealment.

Even if the tactics of hole attack cannot be concealed, the specific location of the hole attack channel must be concealed.

As a result, Su Jiao actually dug three hundred feet outside the city?

Did they treat all the Zhao army soldiers as blind?

Weird!

It was extremely weird!

But after looking at Le Xun's troops fighting bravely outside the city and the Qin army's banner standing on the west side, Sima Shang could only say in a deep voice: "Order the commander Xing Liao to be cautious."

"Allocate another 2,000 soldiers to the commander Xing Liao to guard the city."

"Order the soldiers to be on high alert!"

Compared to the tunnels that take time to dig, it is obvious that Le Xun's troops and Ying Chengjiao's troops outside the city are more threatening!

The messenger had to bow: "Yes!"

However, Xing Liao, who heard Sima Shang's order, suddenly took off his helmet and scratched his scalp hard: "I don't ask for support."

"But I ask General Sima to tell me clearly what the Qin army wants to do and how our army should respond!"

At first glance, the battlefield outside the south gate of Dongwang City is no different from other gates.

But if you look closely, you can see more than 10,000 soldiers gathered about 300 feet outside the South City Gate, swinging copper hoes and digging tunnels.

Not only Sima Shang felt strange, but Xing Liao, who saw the Qin army digging tunnels in such an obvious place, was even more puzzled.

But Xing Liao might not know that Su Jiao was just as strange as Xing Liao!

After issuing various orders, Su Jiao couldn't help asking: "Brother Gua, don't we really need to retreat a little?"

"I have a lot of experience in the art of acupuncture."

"Even if our army does not intend to use this acupuncture to attack the city, but intends to hollow out the bottom of the city wall to perform the art of falling the city, it will take a lot of time."

"According to my estimate, it will take at least half a month to dig out enough space to fall down the city wall of Dongwang City."

"The entrance to the acupuncture is placed in such a forward place, it will definitely be discovered by the enemy, and it will definitely be intercepted by the enemy!"

When it comes to acupuncture, Su Jiao is professional.

Whether it was the royal mausoleum of the Qin Dynasty or the royal city of the Chu State, Su Jiao was very familiar with their underground structures.

But Su Jiao had never dug a tunnel so close to the enemy city!

This feeling was too exciting!

Gu Fu said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao Changguo's troops have led the reinforcements from various cities in the south of Zhao to break through the defense line of Commandant Ren, and they will reach Handan in two days at most."

"By then, there will be 80,000 Zhao troops rushing to support Handan."

"Commander Xifeng, who is arrayed in the north, has also sent back emergency military reports one after another, and may be defeated and flee at any time."

"Our troops must break through this city before all the reinforcements of the Zhao army arrive, otherwise we may fall into a stalemate."

"If the enemy army goes out of the city to intercept and kill our troops, please ask Commandant Qiang to intercept them."

"This strategy is decided by the head of the family, and it will not be wrong!"

Su Jiao still had thousands of doubts in his heart, but Qiang Huai smiled and said: "Commander Su, don't worry."

"If my guess is correct, the commander is not going to implement the strategy of falling into the city in this battle, but intends to sacrifice the earth dragon to attack the city!"

"And what Gua Dafu did was to dig out the altar and draw the sacrificial map!"

Su Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sacrifice to the earth dragon?"

"Then I will do my best to help you!"

"Handle!"

Gua Fu: ...

Gua Fu did not admit it, but he did not deny it.

He just took a copper hoe and jumped into the deep pit with Su Jiao, digging towards the north.

In front of nearly 10,000 experienced Qin soldiers, a mere 300-zhang tunnel was nothing.

If it needed to be hidden, I'm afraid Su Jiao's troops would need to dig for a day or two.

But in the case that there was no need to hide and even to start the excavation in a big way, in just one night, a tunnel went directly from the south side of Dongwang City to the bottom of the south wall of Dongwang City!

The rising sun sprinkled on the fuse at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at this fuse, Su Jiao's eyes were even more puzzled.

Is this really not a plan to fall into the city?

Qiang Huai's eyes were filled with a fanatical pilgrimage, and he even knelt down and bowed his head to the fuse.

Behind Qiang Huai, more than 2,000 Qin soldiers who had followed Qiang Huai to participate in the Wujiagang blocking battle also knelt down and bowed their heads like Qiang Huai, and everyone looked at the fuse with a fiery light in their eyes.

Su Jiao asked more and more puzzled: "Qiang Duwei, what are you doing!"

Even when offering sacrifices to Yongchou, there is no need to bow your head throughout the whole process!

Qiang Huai hurriedly pulled Su Jiao to kneel down together and whispered: "Don't shout!"

"The sacrifice is about to begin!"

"Look!"

Su Jiao followed Qiang Huai's line of sight and saw the fortune teller holding a torch and walking to the edge of the cave.

Although he had already had this experience, the fortune teller was still a little panicked.

But after being severely reprimanded by Ying Chengjiao last time, the fortune teller did not dare to shout Ying Chengjiao's name at this moment, for fear that Ying Chengjiao would get angry again.

After taking a deep breath, the fortune teller held the torch and smashed it down!

Seeing the fire follow the fuse into the cave entrance, the fortune teller murmured nervously: "I don't know why the master forbids me to shout like that again, and said that I am spreading superstitious ideas."

"I only hope that the earth dragon can know the master's order, I wish..."

Before the fortune teller finished mumbling, Qiang Huai's neck veins were already tense, and he and more than 2,000 veterans under his command screamed hoarsely:

"Pass on the order of Chang'an Jun!"

"Earth Dragon!"

"Turn over!"

The fortune teller: ???

All the kings and ministers of Zhao: !!!

Listening to the shouts of more than 2,000 Qin soldiers, Sima Shang's face turned pale in an instant: "How could this be? How could this be!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun can command the earth dragon again?!"

"My Great Zhao, it's over!"

Facing the shouts of Qiang Huai's troops, Xing Liao screamed in shock: "Quickly escape to an open place!"

"Quick!!!"

In an instant, the top of Handan City was in chaos, and the soldiers of various troops fled in panic, but they didn't know where to hide to avoid the power of the earth dragon!

However, after turning around like a headless fly for dozens of breaths, the violent shock they imagined did not come.

Zhao Wuya ran to the open space under the city and couldn't help saying: "I think this is just a trick of the Qin army!"

"The fact that Qin Chang'an Jun can command the earth dragon has to be verified."

"Even if Qin Chang'an Jun really has the ability to command the earth dragon, the earth dragon is not under Qin Chang'an Jun's command. How can Qin Chang'an Jun order the earth dragon around and control it at will?"

"More importantly, the Qin army outside the city has never retreated!"

Looking at the Qin army on the west side of Xiwang City that has not retreated at all and is still advancing, Sima Shang sweats on his forehead.

If the army is not allowed to withdraw from the city wall, once the earth dragon turns over near the city wall, all the Zhao army soldiers will die!

But if the army is allowed to withdraw from the city wall, the Qin army may easily seize the city wall, and the Zhao State will perish!

After struggling for more than ten breaths, Sima Shang, who had been waiting for the shock for a long time, finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"The shout just now was just a trick of the Qin army."

"Order all the troops to defend the city wall to the death, and do not let the Qin army take advantage of the situation to attack!"

Hearing the shout of the messenger, Xing Liao was relieved and hurriedly ordered: "Order my troops to go up to the city wall!"

"Prepare to deal with the Qin army's strong attack!"

Just as the king and ministers of Zhao were entangled, thinking, and guessing, the flames were also moving rapidly along the fuse.

When Xing Liao's troops returned to the city wall, they were ready for battle.

The flames finally crossed the three hundred feet of the tunnel and drilled into the narrow space under the city wall!

And then...

"Boom~~~~"

A dull and deafening roar sounded from under the soil layer.

The piles of black gunpowder were detonated at the same time, and the heat and air waves gushed upward along the deliberately dug cavity.

The city wall that used to be heavy, solid, and magnificent was now like a thin piece of paper.

It flew up into the sky!

And then...

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

The city wall that was over a hundred feet long flew up more than ten feet high and then crashed to the ground.

Because the center of gravity was unstable when it landed, it fell heavily into the East King City! ! !
