Chapter 757: Handan City Is Captured! Guo Kai: I Will Protect the King with My Own Body!
Xing Liu never thought in his life that one day he would be able to experience the feeling of flying.
When the city wall took off, Xing Xun and his more than 3,000 soldiers took off with the city wall without exception!
It's a pity that they don't have wings after all.
When the city wall fell, Xing Xun and his more than 3,000 soldiers had to fall with the city wall.
"boom!!"
When the heavy city wall crashed to the ground, all the bones in Xing Xie's body and the organs in his abdomen were shattered.
But Xingliu is still alive!
But he had neither the strength nor the time to escape. He could only watch the perspective move up, feel the city wall collapse, and let out a tearful cry: "No!!!"
"boom!!!"
The west wall section of the south wall of Dongwang City is about five feet (11.55 meters) high, about eighteen feet (41.58 meters) wide at the base, about one foot (2.31 meters) wide at the top, and sixty feet (138.6 meters) long. , collapsed suddenly!
Whether they were dead soldiers or those still alive, they were all like the two thousand Zhao troops sent by Sima Shang to guard against the Qin army's attack.
Turn into minced meat! ! !
Billows of dust rose.
The earth is trembling and moaning.
The broken rammed earth was still making bursts of noise.
But the entire surrounding area of Handan City was already silent!
In the face of the mighty power caused by the earth dragon, all creatures, regardless of country, creed, or species, were trembling, full of fear, and silent!
The soldiers of the Zhao army who were close to the East King City could no longer even hear any sounds in the world. They could only hear the buzzing in their minds - just like the whispers of ghosts and gods!
Even the officers and soldiers of the Zhao army further away were unable to stand due to the trembling of the earth, and fell to the ground in despair.
Even though Sima Shang was mentally prepared for the earth dragon to turn over, it took him several breaths to come to his senses, and then he pulled his neck and shouted in a hissing voice: "Soldiers! Don't panic!"
"Qin Chang'an Lord needs to pay a huge price to drive the earth dragon. He cannot drive the earth dragon a second time in a short time!"
"Don't be frightened by the Earth Dragon turning around! Lord Qin Changan is gone..."
However, just as Sima Shang was shouting at the top of his lungs in an attempt to stabilize the morale of the army, another deafening roar suddenly sounded.
"boom!!"
Sima Shang turned around and looked in disbelief, and saw that the solid, solid, and heavy wall on the north side of the East Wall of Great Beicheng was flying lightly into the sky at this moment.
Then it crashed down hard!
"boom!!!"
The earth is shaking more and more!
The deafening roar sounded again.
And this roar also woke up the dull Zhao people in Handan City.
"General Sima is lying to us! Lord Qin Changan can not only drive the earth dragon once, but also twice. Who knows if Lord Qin Changan can drive the earth dragon a third time or even countless times!"
"If our army does not surrender, will Lord Qin Chang'an drive the Earth Dragon to stand up in Dabei City? My family members are all in Dabei City!"
"Qin and Zhao have had a bloody feud for more than a hundred years, but now Houtu has ordered Earth Dragon to help Qin, how can we disobey Houtu's will!"
"Jun Xinping (Lian Po) was expelled! Master Zuo was executed! Lord Wu'an was executed! We, Zhao, have committed many heinous crimes and have made the country intolerable! Why should we be enemies of heaven and earth for the sake of Zhao's country! "
Is the current Great Zhao really worth fighting to the death for?
Even Huangtian Houtu can't stand it anymore, why should the soldiers fight to the death for it!
Even if they fight to the death for Zhao, what is their bravery and morale in front of the earth dragon that can even throw away city walls? Mud on toys?
The earth dragon turned over at the foot of Handan City, not only destroying the city wall, but also destroying the legitimacy of the continued existence of the State of Zhao, and also destroying the morale and fighting spirit of all Zhao soldiers!
The soldiers stationed on various sections of the city wall took the lead in abandoning their weapons and rushed towards the city with all their strength.
What followed was a massive collapse!
But it was not only the officers and soldiers of the Zhao army who had their fighting spirit destroyed?
Outside Dongwang City, Su Jiao looked at the collapsed city wall in the distance, opened his mouth, and murmured in a fluent voice: "Is this the scene where the emperor drives the earth dragon?!"
"Such a thick and solid city wall was thrown away by the earth dragon with just one blow!"
"What does this general mean in front of Earth Dragon!"
This was the first time Su Jiao saw the earth dragon turn over with his own eyes.
In front of the mighty power of Houtu, even if he is the so-called most powerful general in the Qin Dynasty, what does it matter? !
Changing places, even if he is on the side of defending the city, the result is just one more dead soul buried under the city wall!
Qiang Huai also came back to his senses and praised with emotion: "It is indeed the power of the earth dragon!"
"Even though I have seen it once before, I am still shocked!"
"Fortunately, I am the commander's soldier!"
"Fortunately, Earth Dragon can be ordered by the coach!"
With the grab in hand, Qiang Huai roared excitedly:
"The Earth Dragon is watching us!"
“The thick soil is watching us!”
"The coach is watching us too!"
"Soldiers!"
"Don't be afraid of death, just fight bravely!"
Hearing Qiang Huai's shouts, the respect and fear in Su Jiao's eyes slowly turned into excitement and excitement, and he roared: "Two or three sons!"
"Although Earth Dragon possesses great power, it is also your Majesty's soldier and the robe of our army!"
"Paoze is brave and good at fighting, what should our army do?!"
Behind Su Jiao, more than ten thousand soldiers of the Qin army came to their senses and shouted in unison with fierce fighting spirit: "Be brave! Fight first!"
Su Jiao's troops were never weaker than any of the Paoze troops.
Even if that comrade is a ground dragon, Su Jiao's troops should be the first!
Su Jiao held up his spear and rushed forward, roaring: "Don't let my comrades underestimate our army!"
"Follow me closely, charge!"
The west side of the west wall.
Ying Chengjiao looked at the two clouds of dust in the direction of Dongwang City and Dabei City with a complicated look: "I really never thought of it."
"I can see the earth plane tactics in my lifetime!"
For the soldiers of the Qin and Zhao armies, the earth dragon turned over, which was the power of the gods, but in Ying Chengjiao's heart, it had a vulgar name.
Earth plane!
In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng tried to break through Kaifeng City by "digging the wall and burying explosives" but failed miserably, but it did not stop the later generations from giving up the attempt.
During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1850), the Taiping Army used the method of hiding mines in the ground to blow up the Yifengmen section of the city wall of Nanjing City into the sky, which also proved that the city wall was not indestructible.
The strongest army on the surface of the earth used this tactic in the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Ganzhou Campaign, the Songshan Campaign and other battles to let the enemy take a free "earth plane" and recapture one strong city after another!
Ying Chengjiao was unwilling to introduce uncontrollable variables to this era.
But under the urging of Yan Dan and the coercion of Li Mu, this death knell for the city wall, which should have been cast 2,083 years later.
was struck by Ying Chengjiao himself today!
Ying Chengjiao shouted in a deep voice: "Beat the victory drum!"
"Order all units!"
"Strongly attack Handan City!"
"The central army listens to the order!"
"Follow this general and charge!"
Behind Ying Chengjiao, the muscles of the eight warriors urged them to take off their shirts before their brains, and smashed the drumsticks in their hands against the main battle drum.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The passionate sound of the war drums awakened the Qin army soldiers who were immersed in shock.
When they saw the big banner heading towards the West King City, all the anxiety and fear in their hearts disappeared!
All the Qin soldiers burst into a thunderous roar:
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Strong wind!"
More than 30,000 Qin soldiers with high morale charged at the same time, and Zhao Yang's troops, whose morale had already collapsed, collapsed in an instant.
And the thickest wall of Handan City did not play any role at all.
Because there was no guard on the entire wall!
Ladders were put on the wall, and Qin soldiers climbed over the wall and opened the city gate and the city gate, allowing the Qin chariots to drive straight in!
Looking at the Qin chariots rushing into the city, Guo Kai's face was full of bitterness: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this!"
I have made a choice and am ready to give up the position of Prime Minister of Zhao State, offer Handan City, and go to Qin State to be a senior minister.
As a result, why didn't Qin give me a chance to surrender the city!
Suddenly, Guo Kai had an idea.
Although I have lost the chance to surrender Handan City, I can still surrender the Zhao Palace!
Guo Kai hurriedly shouted: "Pass my order!"
"Abandon the outer city wall, and the whole army retreat to Longtai Palace!"
Sima Shang, who was shouting at the soldiers to organize the army, hurriedly turned back and shouted: "No!"
"Qin Chang'an Jun can drive the earth dragon more than once."
"Our army can only fight with the Qin army to prevent Qin Chang'an Jun from making the earth dragon turn over!"
"If our army retreats to Longtai Palace, the king will be in danger!"
Guo Kai said without hesitation: "If our army does not retreat to Longtai Palace, the king will be in danger!"
Sima Shang said repeatedly: "Retreating to Longtai Palace may seem safe, but it puts the king's life and death in the hands of Qin Chang'an Jun."
"Only by fighting out of Handan City can we live towards death!"
Guo Kai shouted resolutely: "I am the prime minister of Zhao!"
"Pass on my order..."
However, before Guo Kai's order was issued, a childish and trembling voice sounded behind Guo Kai: "Prime Minister!"
Guo Kai, Sima Shang and other ministers looked back in disbelief, only to see Zhao Wangqian riding a young horse and galloping over!
Guo Kai looked at Guo Chang suddenly: "Lianzhong Ling, how could the king be here!"
Guo Chang said bitterly: "After the earth dragon turned over, the king was determined to leave the palace, and we couldn't stop him!"
Guo Kai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I ask the king to return to Longtai Palace immediately."
"We have our own ministers to fight against foreign enemies, so please don't go to dangerous places!"
This prime minister hasn't sold the king yet.
Your Majesty, you must not die!
However, Zhao Wangqian asked seriously: "If I live in Longtai Palace, and the earth dragon turns over in Longtai Palace."
"Can I survive?"
Faced with Zhao Wangqian's question, Guo Kai was speechless.
After all, Zhao Wangqian was just young, not a fool!
Zhao Wangqian drove the young horse forward and said seriously: "My dear ministers, you can't stop Qin Chang'an Jun from commanding the earth dragon."
"If the earth dragon turns over in Longtai Palace, I will hardly survive."
"In this case, why not follow General Sima's advice and break out of the siege!"
Sima Shang's eyes were a little moist, and he bowed loudly: "Even if I die in battle here, I will definitely protect the king!"
Zhao Wangqian's pale face squeezed out a smile: "I, I believe in you!"
Guo Kai knew that he could not persuade him anymore, so he could only sigh in his heart and said softly: "The king is not good at riding."
"I dare to ride with the king and protect the king with my body!"
