Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 280 Destroy Zhao
"Da da da!"

The night had already fallen, but a fast horse broke the originally silent Xianyang Palace.

"Your Majesty! Li Mu did not fight..." After receiving the news, Tian Su reported to Ying Zheng with a tinge of joy.

Ying Zheng, who was reviewing government affairs, paused slightly with the pen in his hand.

"General Gu Wangjian came to report. Captain Li Mu of Lantian, Ren Xiao, led an army of [-], and set up an ambush forty miles outside Fanwu City. Break Li Mu's personal soldiers, and Li Mu died in battle..."

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Ying Zheng threw aside the bamboo slips full of government affairs in his hand, stood up, and walked slowly to the center of the hall where he was.

"Did Li Mu really die in battle?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown as he looked at the sand map placed in the center of the hall.

"Yes, the messenger made it clear that Li Mu and a group of pro-army did not escape after the first battle, but chose to continue the battle. There were more than a hundred people, all of which were lost in the battle. However, when Li Xin wanted to restrain the corpses At that time, the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, so we had to give up and evacuate Zhao territory."

Tian Su paused for a moment, then said again with some contempt: "Oh, by the way, it seems that the pro-military captain escaped..."

People who are greedy for life and afraid of death have always been unwelcome. Obviously, Le Ren who escaped has become such a person.

Ying Zheng frowned, how could the person who was chosen by Li Mu to be a pro-military lieutenant be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
Wei Wei was silent for a moment, and Ying Zheng asked again: "Then who is leading the army in Fanwu City now?"

"It's Zhao Cong, the general of the Zhao family, and Yan Ju, the general of Qi."

"Oh! How similar!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and couldn't help recalling the memory of his previous life again.

"So, Sima Shang has also been executed?"

"This is unprecedented. However, after Sima Shang learned that Li Mu had been killed and that Fanwu had changed hands, he gathered the surrounding Zhao army, numbering more than [-] people, and guarded the camp as a final gesture of resistance."

Although Tian Su's tone was serious, he didn't show any worry.In his view, once Li Mu died, even if Zhao Guo still had the important town of Panwu, it would be useless.

"Oh? With Zhao Cong's personality, Sima Shang has never been defeated?"

Ying Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard this.But then he shook his head, once Li Mu died, even though Sima Shang had a high prestige in the army, compared to Li Mu, he was still not as good.

"The widow's king's order is that before the spring of the next year, the widow will see my Daqin flag planted throughout the entire Handan City! The soldiers of the Daqin will arrive at Yishui to deter the Yan Kingdom!"

"Here!"

……

"Woo, woo, woo"

Ten days later, a long horn sounded, and outside the camp of Zhao's army, Qin's army had assembled, and the final decisive battle had arrived.

In the distance, the flying banner and the huge "King" character are extremely conspicuous.However, in the sky above Zhao Jun, the flag that was once like a solid rock has long been replaced.

A hazy atmosphere hovered over Zhao Guo's army for a long time.

"Are they still unwilling to send troops after all?"

In Zhao Guozhong's camp, Sima Shang looked at the school lieutenants with a cold face.

"Back to the general..."

The captain, who was kneeling on the ground on one knee, hesitated to speak, and could only shake his head slightly in silence.Daying fell into loneliness again.

"These thieves who betray the country and seek glory, why should I protect them! If the general dies in battle, there must be internal thieves!" After a long time, a school lieutenant cursed angrily.

"That's right! Why should such a foolish king serve him? Why don't you betray Zhao and return to Qin, and avenge the general!" Soon, all the school captains agreed.

Sima Shang sighed slightly, but did not scold the schools.Because even he, the king who destroyed the Great Wall himself, has no desire to be loyal.

What's more, Qin's army is now more than [-], five times larger than itself.It is also carrying the prestige of destroying South Korea, and the morale is booming.Fighting against it is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning.

"We, the soldiers of Daijun, were originally brought out by the general. They were ordered to be loyal to Zhao and protect the people of Zhao. Now that the general is gone and his bones are not cold, shall we forget his will?"

Sima Shang's voice was not loud, but it caused the school captains to fall into silence again.

"Assemble the army, prepare for battle..." Sima Shang waved his hands weakly, and said, "Even if we die, we can't take a step back."

"If we can get [-] Qin soldiers to be buried with us, and the morale of the Qin army is frustrated, maybe our country of Zhao still has a chance."

"only!"

Sima Shang's words sounded like a mourning bell in the camp.It also made the generals who didn't want to fight anymore slowly gather a fighting spirit, and in this fighting spirit, there is even a trace of decisiveness.

The so-called mourning soldiers must win, but in the face of strength several times greater than their own, no matter how determined these [-] Zhao soldiers are, it is not enough to change the overall situation.

Sima Shang was worthy of being a famous general of his generation, he cleverly used the terrain to delay this decisive battle for a day and a night.

For one day and one night, neither Qin Jun nor Zhao Jun ever closed their eyes, and everyone was fighting. In the decisive battle of 40 people, no one retreated.The entire valley was filled with dead bodies.

"Sad! Great! Pity!"

On a mountainside, Wang Jian, who was over sixty years old, his temples were already a little gray, but he was still unabated, exuding a majestic aura all over his body.

However, at this time, this majestic momentum was covered by a thick complex emotion.

The Zhao army was [-], and under such a huge disadvantage, none of them retreated, so they dragged the [-] Qin army to be buried with them.Although Sima Shang's expectation of killing [-] enemies was not achieved, it also demoralized the entire Qin army and had to regroup on the spot.

"It's a pity that although Sima Shang is a capable general, the two in Fanwu City are mediocre." Wang Jian shook his head slightly and sighed again.

"Pass down the order, and after five days, the whole army will be dispatched, and it is bound to defeat Fanwu in one battle!"

"Here!"

Zhao Guo without Li Mu is already a fish on the chopping board.Without Sima Shang, Qin Jun lost even the last trace of resistance.

Five days later, 30 Qin troops surrounded the important town of Fanwu, Zhao Guo, and Zhao Cong, the general of Zhao Guo, surrendered without a fight.Since then, the state of Zhao has been like a land without people to the Qin army.

More than a month later, Handan was besieged, and when there was nowhere to ask for help, Zhao Wangqian, under the persuasion of Guo Kai, the prime minister, left the city with his chest bare.

Since then, Zhao Guo, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period nearly 200 years ago, has perished.

After a short rest, the Qin army left 10 troops to garrison Handan, and then the army went north again, arriving at the Yishui River at the beginning of spring.

The whole world was shocked when Qin State fell to the two countries in one year, and Qin State's next target, Yan State, was even more dangerous for everyone.
