Chapter 177: The Power of the Three Realms of Saints
Zhao Huaizhong ordered the attack on Zhao, and Da Qin's ministries coordinated and mobilized supplies and logistics across the board.
Half a month later, to mid-March, spring begins to warm up again.
The Qin army marched out and forced the troops to attack the Zhao territory.
What people didn't expect was that the Zhao people took the lead in issuing a petition against Qin, and the people against Qin were violent and led to constant military disasters;
He pursued the people of Qin for his own selfish interests, regardless of the safety of the world, and all five countries suffered from it;
The emperor of Qin was very ambitious and fought for many years, using excessive force and force.
At the end of Zhao Ren's message, the topic changed and he accused the Qin army of killing Pang Nuan's whole family even when Pang Nuan was old. No one was left alive, and he was no better than humans and animals.
As soon as the news came out, not only Zhao people were in an uproar and indignant.
Other countries, especially the Wei people, also stood up and echoed the Zhao people's appeal, inviting the world to fight against the Qin Dynasty.
On the day when the appeal against Qin was issued, Zhao Yan personally climbed to the top of Handan City with a sad look on his face. In front of tens of thousands of Zhao troops outside the city, he was heartbroken over Pang Nuan's death.
Then Zhao general Li Mu was awarded the military talisman in public, and ordered him to lead the army to resist Qin, protect Zhao, fight for Pang Nuan, and fight for the countless Zhao people who died in the past.
On top of the city, Zhao Yan was even heartbroken over Pang Nuan's death and fell to the ground and fainted.
Zhao Jun was moved when he witnessed this scene.
Pang Nuan once forced Zhao Yan to abdicate, but when Pang Nuan died, the king was heartbroken.
Zhao Jun rushed to the border in silence, and everyone was filled with anger.
Five days later, Handan, Zhao Palace.
In the dormitory, Guo Kai saluted King Zhao Zhao Yan with a look of joy that could not be concealed on his face.
"Right now, everyone in our Zhao army is indignant and saddened by the death of General Pang Nuan. As soon as the king issued a message, this confrontation will definitely kill the Qin army and enhance the power of our country!" Guo Kai said.
Zhao Yan also had a faint smile on his face, and said thoughtfully: "Pang Nuan's body disappeared afterwards. Has the reason been found out?"
Guo Kaidao: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if the Qin people discover it first and take away Pang Nuan's body, the matter is already a foregone conclusion.
Having Pang Nuan's body in their hands will only further prove that he was killed by the Qin people."
Zhao Yan nodded slightly, "Have Pang Nuan's family handled everything properly?"
Guo Kai said in a deep voice: "The people of Qin were angry that Pang Nuan led his army to resist Qin many times, and even his family members were not spared.
After the Pang Nuan family returned to their ancestral home in Ling County, the Qin people secretly sneaked into our Zhao territory and killed them. No one in the family, old or young, survived. Then the Qin people set fire to the ancestral home of General Pang Nuan."
Zhao Yan hummed.
What he likes most is that Guo Kai not only understands his intentions when explaining things, but also implements them thoroughly.
Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Kai and said, "When the Qin army is forced to retreat, I will propose to Guo Kai that you be our prime minister."
"No!" Guo Kai was overjoyed.
————
The border between Qin and Zhao.
The Qin army raised 200,000 troops, and another 50,000 rear troops were mobilized for a total of 250,000 troops to attack Zhao.
The Zhao people have always been good at fighting. If we look at the quality of the soldiers alone, the Zhao people are higher than those of Qi and Chu, and can be tied with the Qin army.
But in the Battle of Changping, the King of Zhao at that time changed his generals before the battle and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. As a result, 400,000 Zhao troops were trapped and killed by Bai Qi, Lord Wuan.
The Zhao people thus became weak and were once short of troops.
More than twenty years later, Zhao's troops gradually recovered. Facing the Qin army this time, they also assembled 150,000 troops and were on the defensive. They could rely on the city to defend, so they had no disadvantage in terms of troops.
At this moment, the Qin army pressed on the border, gathering like a tidal wave outside Wucheng, an important border defense town on the Zhao border, and lined up.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were spread all over the mountains and plains, and as far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.
In Wucheng, Zhao Jun had Li Mu as the commander-in-chief and Sima Shang as the deputy.
Both of them looked solemn, looking at the Qin army's array, the murderous intent conveyed by them was shocking.
The Qin army's military power was stronger than they expected. This is related to the Qin people's increasing national fortunes in recent years, and they are invincible in every battle.
The Qin army has developed an invincible spirit that looks down upon the world.
However, Pang Nuan's death also completely inspired the bravery of the Zhao soldiers.
Although the Qin army was strong, the Zhao army had no fear.
"This battle is not only for our great Zhao and the death of General Pang, but also for all Zhao people. The Qin people have bullied our great Zhao too much."
"Li Shuai, the last general invites you to fight."
"We are all willing to fight to the death and will defeat the Qin army!"
The Zhao army did not huddle inside the city. There were tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers in the open area with their backs to Wucheng. They were neatly arrayed and fought against the Qin army.
Both armies are waving their flags, and the battle is about to begin.
"kill!"
A general of the Zhao army suddenly rushed out on horseback and yelled: "For my great Zhao, repel the violent Qin!"
However, at the moment when the Zhao army was full of murderous intent and the whole army was preparing to press forward.
Behind the Qin army, a wooden boat more than ten feet long flew into the air.
On that boat, the incantation carved by the Yellow Emperor himself flashed.
Li Mu glanced at the people standing on the boat from a distance, and instantly felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart.
On the boat, stood a middle-aged man, but he was the son of Pang Nuan, who was supposed to die.
The smaller half of his face was burned by the flames, and the scars were hideous.
When the news of Pang Nuan's death spread back to Handan, Li Mu became suspicious.
However, the Qin army subsequently attacked Zhao, and it was impossible to conduct a thorough investigation during the emergency period.
At this time, Li Mu's heart sank when he saw Pang Nuan's son ascending from the rear of the Qin army's camp.
The confrontation between the two armies is also a game and confrontation in the heart.
Whichever side has the mental advantage will be able to gain greater morale and gain greater fruits of victory.
Why did Pang Nuan's son appear behind the Qin army?
When they issued an appeal to Qin before, the Qin people did not refute a single word. They were just waiting for the moment of confrontation before the war to destroy the morale of our army in one fell swoop... Li Mu's mind was racing, and he had already thought of the truth of something.
Just when he guessed what the Qin people were going to do, Pang Nuan's son, who was carried by the emperor's boat and appeared out of nowhere, suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the bow of the boat in front of the two armies.
There was also a coffin on the boat.
It goes without saying that among them is Pang Nuan's body.
"I am the son of Pang Nuan, Pang Yi...my father died in old age, and after we returned to Ling County, we were attacked and killed. The murderer was me, Zhao Ren.
My father was also killed by my Zhao people, and the murderer... is the current King of Zhao."
Pang Yi's words were like thunder striking on the heads of tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers, and everyone's eyes turned black.
Among the Zhao army, a general stood up and shouted: "This is the plan of the Qin people. How can our Zhao army be fooled?"
How can we prove that this is really the son of General Pang and not arranged by the Qin people?!"
"Jing Ji, you once served as the vanguard deputy general under my father. The year before last, you came to my house and I had a drink with you.
Three months ago, you came to my house to report the military situation, and I went out to see you off... A few days ago, my father passed away, and you also came to see me off and the Pang family. You once said that you would pay me a visit when we settled down. …
If I don’t know these things, can it possibly prove my identity?”
Pang Nuan's son stood on the human emperor's boat, standing in mid-air between the two armies, sobbing uncontrollably.
General Zhao who spoke just now was speechless and looked dull.
Obviously, the middle-aged man on the Human Emperor's boat is indeed Pang Nuan's son.
Pang Nuan wanted to go to Chu to invite Lian Po, so he traveled quickly and passed by the border of Wei and Qin. Ye Yufu was aware of it.
That's why Yu Gui appeared and took away Pang Nuan's body.
After that, Fan Qingzhou considered that Pang Nuan's family might also be attacked, so spies from Ye Yufu rushed to Ling County, rescued Pang Yi in time, and replaced it with a corpse, disguised as Pang Yi's remains.
On the human emperor boat, Pang Yi lamented: "...poor my father, he was killed by the foolish king Zhao Yan!"
"Hunjun, Hunjun!" Behind, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops shouted in unison.
In Zhao Jun's camp, many generals felt that their eyes were dim and their bodies were trembling.
Inside and outside Wucheng, countless Zhao troops were silent.
This is no longer just a question of whether morale is low or not.
The king of Zhao killed Zhongliang and murdered the general Pang Nuan, who had always been prestigious in the Zhao army. To the Zhao army, it was like a sap hitting him in the head, making people's eyes darken!
"The weak king is in power, and we, the Qin people, attack Zhao, and we will be punished by heaven!"
The Qin army lined up in the center. Wang Jian rode on a horse and slowly came to the front line of the Qin army.
The night beast he rode was tall and strong, with hoofs bigger than a human head. It stood proudly at the front of the military formation. The hoofs trampled on the ground, and black air pillars spurted out from its big nose, hitting the ground and rolling gravel.
Wang Jian raised his sword, squinted at the pale-faced Li Mu at the top of the city, and suddenly yelled:
"The Zhao people are ignorant and the emperor is in power. Qin is attacking them. All the generals will listen to the order and kill them!"
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, with tens of thousands in teams, and the front army of 30,000 people formed a square wheel formation, advancing like a meat grinder, forcing the Zhao army outside the city.
Chang Ge's front stab, retrieve it.
The rear team moves forward, stab! Hold back!
The movements are exactly the same, the queue spreads out and advances step by step.
The Zhao troops in the front row had no fighting spirit and almost collapsed at the first touch. In the blink of an eye, thousands of Zhao troops were swallowed up by the Qin army.
Li Mu felt a chill coming from the bottom of his heart, permeating his whole body and making him bone-chilling.
"Beat the drums, withdraw your troops, and enter the city to hold on!"
The dull drum beat sounded, and the Zhao army retreated in panic. The ten thousand troops in charge of the rear were quickly cannibalized by the Qin army.
When the gate of Wucheng is closed, the defensive formations on the city head are staggered.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops outside the city were as powerful as a rainbow. They gathered together and a giant black dragon a hundred feet long appeared in the sky. Its body was tumbling, its pressure was like the sea, and its scales were opened and closed, just like a real mythical creature born!
Boom!
The black dragon hit the head of Wucheng, its body exploded, and terrifying mana fluctuations also exploded.
The formation pattern on the Wucheng wall suddenly collapsed.
The city gate was also covered with cracks.
On this day, the Qin and Zhao armies fought fiercely inside and outside Wucheng.
Seen from a distance, the military formation surges like waves.
The siege engines resounded and arrows rained down.
In the sky, totem creatures rose and fell one after another. Below the city, the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
It was also on this day that the human emperor boat and Pang Nuan's son floated all the way into the Zhao Kingdom.
At the top of Wucheng, Li Mu looked far away at the Human Emperor Boat that was deep into the Zhao Kingdom. He hesitated for a moment and did not take action to stop it.
Han Fei, the great Qin court lieutenant, with the dignity of a saint, personally protected the human emperor boat. As the human emperor boat moved forward, he notified the king of Zhao along the way that Zhao Yan was stunned, and he colluded with the demon clan and dog soldiers to kill Pang Nuan and frame the Qin Dynasty. people.
The foolish king collapsed and killed his loyal ministers and good generals.
The human emperor's boat traveled at an extraordinary speed, passing through the city and plundering the land along the way, and reported the evil deeds of the King of Zhao to all the people in the Zhao Kingdom.
As the sun sets, the human emperor boat appears outside Handan City.
Pang Yi's voice was hoarse, and he emotionally accused King Zhao Zhao Yan of killing his father Pang Nuan and killing the entire Pang family.
Inside the city, countless Handan people were stunned and stunned, and the whole city was dead silent.
In the sky, following Pang Yi's voice, bursts of thunder broke out, and streaks of lightning sprang up in the sky, blinking and flickering.
Boom!
Lightning struck down and bombarded Zhao Ren's palace.
"If a man is unruly, God will punish him. If a king is unruly, the law will punish him!"
On the Human Emperor Boat, Han Fei Surong looked down at the capital of the Zhao Kingdom below.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a long rope was formed in the sky, intertwined with laws and principles, fusing the power of heaven and earth, shining with a black and yellow luster, and fell towards the palace of King Zhao.
However, a long sword rose in the Zhao palace to resist the rope of law dropped by Han Fei.
That sword is the Zhao people's national weapon. It can unite the power of a country and compete with the saints.
At the top of the city, Zhao Jun, who was defending Handan, also reacted immediately, and a military formation totem creature floated in the air.
But the totem that emerged did not have a strong fighting spirit.
All Zhao soldiers were at a loss because of Pang Yi's appearance and accusations against Zhao Yan, and their beliefs were shaken.
Deep inside the palace, Zhao Yan's face was ashen and his body was trembling.
He knew that everything was out of control.
After today, no matter how the situation changes, he will never be able to be the king of a country again.
The entire Zhao State, both its ministers and its people, will oppose him.
He had clearly planned everything, but how could Pang Nuan's son not be dead?
The people of Qin used Pang Yi to spread the news of Pang Nuan's death and informed the entire Zhao Kingdom that Zhao Yan had no way to prove himself or even refute.
Zhao Yan's body was trembling, and he suddenly rushed out of the palace, pointed his finger at Han Fei in the air and asked:
"I am the king of a country. Although you are a saint, you will disrupt the fate of a country. If I die, your sainthood will also fall."
Han Fei said expressionlessly: "You are the king of a country if you are recognized by all the people and supported by all the ministers.
If a saint kills the king of a country, he will indeed fall into the realm, and the world will not tolerate it.
But, are you still the king of a country? Do the people in Handan City still recognize you as the king of the country?
Do all the ministers of Zhao people still recognize you as the king?"
Han Fei finished speaking and raised his hands.
A ray of sword light fell from the sky, it was Xuanyuan Sword.
"I, the Lord of the Qin Dynasty, have given me the Human Emperor Sword. I will use this sword today to kill your luck as the ruler of the country."
Han Fei waved the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
A black-yellow sword light struck down.
Boom!
Handan was shaken, and the main hall of King Zhao's palace was split from the middle.
Zhao Yan was not injured, but he let out a scream.
In the eyes of practitioners who are good at observing Qi, the Lord's Qi has blessed his body, so he should be clothed in purple Qi and be extremely noble.
However, at this moment, all the purple energy on his body disappeared.
Zhao Yan staggered back to the dormitory, and with trembling hands, he took out the small box containing the strange armor when he attacked Pang Nuan.
The armor in this box was made by Zhao with the power of a country and sacrifices for decades.
It is Zhao Yan's last trump card and support.
"You forced me. If that's the case, then let's all die."
Zhao Yan opened the box, the armor inside floated out, and the black air formed a pillar of air over Zhao Wang's palace, rising straight into the sky.
when!
Next to Zhao Yanshen, the ancient bronze bell of Jinxian shines brightly.
At this moment, his expression was extremely sinister.
"Where are the guards?"
Behind him, an old man appeared out of thin air, with a high nose and deep eyes, thin cheeks, and a tan complexion.
The old man was wearing a black robe with a dark red background. When he came out, he kowtowed to Zhao Yan and said, "I have seen your Majesty."
This is the foundation of the Zhao royal family. The dead soldiers who guard the king of a country are also one of the strongest people in Zhao.
Zhao Yan took out the armor and looked at the old man: "If this armor wants to exert its true power, it needs to be guided by a practitioner who is at least close to the saint realm.
You are willing to help me and share my strength, but the price is that you will never be able to take off this armor!"
The old man was speechless, with his head buried deeply and his forehead touching the ground.
The next moment, the armor suddenly fell on the old man.
The black energy eroded, and the old man's body trembled violently, as if he was suffering the pain of his armor peeling off and devouring his flesh and blood.
"The art of peeling skin and replacing it with armor allows a person to borrow the armor and gain unparalleled power. Even a saint can kill someone."
The old man in the armor disappeared, and the armor fell back and pierced Zhao Yan's body.
His breath rose, and terrifying power fluctuations emerged.
Zhao Yan's eyes were filled with black energy. His strength and combat experience all came from the inheritance of the armor's breath.
Zhao Yan walked out of the palace and took a step into the air.
The overwhelming black air swept toward Human Emperor Zhou, Han Fei, and Pang Yi in the sky.
The black air was like a black ocean, spreading over Handan City, covering the sky and the sun.
However, as Zhao Yan approached in armor, a white cloud fell from the sky.
The dharma body of the Lord of the Qin Dynasty stands on the clouds with his hands behind his back. He stretches out his hands calmly, and the heaven and earth work together.
With the blessing of the armor, Zhao Yan grasped the long sword, the Zhao people's national weapon.
He slashed out with his sword!
"Take it!" Zhao Huaizhong's dharma body shouted softly.
The armor on Zhao Yan's body and the surging black energy suddenly shrank layer by layer, and its power dropped sharply.
"The power obtained through the external force of the armor is too far behind!" Dharmakaya said calmly.
He held his other hand in vain, and the Xuanyuan Sword jumped into his hand happily.
After becoming a saint in the third realm, he holds the Xuanyuan Sword, and its power is different from when he killed Zhao Sheng.
A ray of sword light struck out, as if the heaven and earth were split open.
Wherever the sword light passed, a sword mark was left in the void, which could not be closed for a long time.
Click!
The black energy of the armor dissipated, and the chest suddenly cracked!
Zhao Yan's face was full of horror. This soul armor had been refined with the strength of a country for decades and cost countless people. It almost had the power to change the world.
However, such an armor, which he thought was not worthy of an immortal weapon, was actually chopped into pieces by Zhao Huaizhong's sword.
The three realms of saints are so terrifying!
"Zhao Yan, you are not worthy of being the king of a country. As the leader of the country, you should guard the land and open up borders, protect the stability of your Zhao people, what have you done, and how can you stand in the world."
"Ignorance..."
As soon as Zhao Yan opened his mouth, his voice turned into a scream.
The center of his brow was penetrated by Xuanyuan Sword's sword energy!
The Zhao people's Zhenguo sword wailed, and the immortal bronze bell also wailed, fell from the sky, and was taken away by Zhao Huaizhong.
He turned his head and looked somewhere in Zhao Wang Palace, stretched out his hand and held it in an empty hand, trying to take away the Xiantai Pillar deep in Zhao Wang Palace.
However, the Xiantai Pillar was in harmony with the fate of a country, and the Zhao people did not lose their country. Even with the power of Zhao Huaizhong, they could not pull it out.
By this time, tens of thousands of Zhao troops in Handan City had formed a military formation and wanted to counterattack.
But when Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand, the world turned upside down, and everything seemed to be stagnant.
The next moment, he and the human emperor boat both disappeared.
