Chapter 1446: Defeating Qin City in One Battle

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the business in Qincheng is still relatively developed, it was a normal time after all. But when it just started to show some signs, most of the big businessmen had already begun to gradually withdraw.

    Those who stayed in Qin City were just ordinary people.

    ???????? In addition, most places have experienced no food harvest this year, and even the situation in Qincheng is similar.

    At this time, the entire Qin City is almost turning into a hell on earth. The people have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies.

    But even so, there are still many people who dream of treasure hunting. Now that we have entered a wartime state, there are still countless people who want to go out of the city to hunt for treasure every day.

    Looking at the common people in ragged clothes, Zhao Wudao felt helpless.

    Strict punishments and harsh laws can no longer stop these people's ambition to make a fortune.

    In order to get out of the city, some people have even begun to secretly climb over the city wall at night.

    Although more than a dozen people were caught while climbing over the city wall one after another, and then were directly regarded as enemy spies, and their heads were still hanging on the city wall after being beheaded, this kind of thing still happened one after another.

    Although he prayed every day, the Han army could come back later.

    But facts have proven that things will not change according to human will at all.

    On the third day of October, accompanied by the early morning mist, the vanguard of the Han army had already appeared on Lingqu.

    Although in order to prevent these Han troops from going southward, they sunk countless huge rocks in all the waterways along the way.

    However, the most it can do is delay the attack of these Han troops.

    Looking at the dragon flag flying high on the opposite side, Zhao Wudao no longer had any luck in his heart.

    What was supposed to come has finally come

    "I'm passing on the order. From now on, all food in the city will be rationed. Gather all the food for me. The people who help defend the city can get two rations a day!"

    Zhao Wudao took a deep breath and then used his last resort.

    But he actually knew very well that in ten days at most, if the food was not available, the people in Qin City would have starved to death without the help of the Han army.

    By the evening of the next day, the large force of the Han army finally arrived.

    But they did not rush to attack. Instead, they started to set up camp two miles away from the city wall.

    "What are these Han troops doing?"

    Looking down from the city wall, one can clearly see all the situations in the entire Han army camp.

    As all of them watched, the Han soldiers shouted slogans and loaded thick pipes on the carriages.

    Zhao Wudao, who had never seen artillery before, certainly did not understand that the Han army had actually put the sickle of death on their necks.

    "General! Everything is ready, general, please give the order!"

    Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, like most people, only know the name of artillery.

    Now that we can finally see this thing really show its power, the two of them are really looking forward to it.

    "In that case, let's start!"

    While Dou Ying was talking, he made an affectionate gesture towards Zhou Yafu.

    "No!"

    Yuan Bin responded, and then took people down directly to prepare.

    Although there are only ten artillery pieces, it is enough to break open the city gate.

    From here, it is only two miles away from Qincheng, and they are now on a small slope. It can be said that the location is still very good.

    After they had set up all the artillery, there was still no movement from Qin Cheng.

    Yuan Bin had a sneer on his lips. It was just as the king said. These bumpkins didn't know what it meant to be afraid unless they were beaten to pain!

    "Light the fire!"

    After correcting the direction of the artillery, the reinforcements suddenly waved the command flag in their hands.

    The soldiers standing beside him lit the fuse directly with torches.

    With the sound of thunder, huge sparks pierced the night sky, and then, Zhao Wudao suddenly heard a loud noise under his feet.

    "Crack¡ª¡ª"

    "What's going on? What's going on?"

    Zhao Wudao asked quickly.

    "The general is in trouble, the city gate, the city gate is broken!"

    At this moment, a man covered withThe bleeding soldier knelt directly in front of Zhao Wudao and shouted loudly.

    "What did you say?"

    Zhao Wudao's eyes suddenly widened, and without saying a word, he walked quickly towards the top of the city.

    When he arrived at the city gate, he directly saw the incomplete city gate.

    "The two city gates are made of three-inch thick wood covered with iron sheets, but now, seven or eight holes the size of human heads have been cut out

    There are several mutilated corpses on the ground. Judging from their clothes, they should be soldiers on duty at the city gate.

    "This, this is"

    It is clear that the Han army is still two miles away, but how on earth was the city gate broken?

    Zhao Wudao felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet directly to Tianling Gai, and his whole body was immediately drenched in cold sweat.

    "General, be careful!"

    Along with a loud sound, several more dark iron balls rushed straight towards him.

    The soldiers around Zhao Wudao threw Zhao Wudao to the ground.

    But he himself was not so lucky. The iron ball the size of a human head hit him directly.

    The upper body of a man who was originally seven feet tall flew far away in an instant

    "Bang¡ª¡ªdang¡ª¡ª"

    "Huh¡ª¡ª"

    The sound of the iron ball falling to the ground kept ringing, and Zhao Wudao lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

    The warm blood directly wetted the armor all over his body. Zhao Wudao was really frightened this time.

    He didn¡¯t even know how he got back to the city wall, but by the time he reacted, the rebels¡¯ killing cries could be heard from below the city wall.

    "General, this city cannot be defended! Let's retreat quickly!"

    Several deputies kept shaking Zhao Wudao's body.

    "shut up!"

    Zhao Wudao reacted fiercely and pulled out the sword from his waist with his backhand.

    However, the next moment, the sound of the city gate collapsing was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the soldiers on the city wall began to collapse.

    Qincheng, the first line of defense in South Vietnam, did not even last a day, and was broken so quietly

    "Ha ha ha ha¡­¡­"

    "Unexpectedly, I have called myself a famous general all my life, but in the end, I couldn't even hold on for a day. How can I go to see the king again"

    "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Zhao Wudao has no face to see you again. Your Majesty, I will die to apologize for my sin!"

    ¡­¡­

    With the death of Zhao Wudao, the situation in Qin City has become irreversible. When the sun rises, the Han family flag has been flying high on the walls of Qin City.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
