The King of Chu immediately raised his whip, looked at the Zhao Great Wall in the distance, and laughed loudly.
This is not the section of the Great Wall in the north. The State of Zhao also built a Great Wall in the south, which was even grander and stronger than the one in the north, precisely to defend against the State of Wei.
More than a hundred years ago, Handan was captured by the Wei army, which led to the famous strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao. Under the pressure of almost losing the country, Zhao naturally wanted to build the Great Wall long and wide.
So, when the Chu army destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi, but could not even obtain a single inheritance of Canglong Qisu, the King of Chu became furious, refused to listen to the advice of his ministers, insisted on going north, and led his army here.
This is the beginning of the decisive battle.
Today, the world is divided into two parts.
Qin occupied the northwest.
Chu occupied the southeast.
The pair, who have been married for hundreds of years and have been life-and-death enemies for hundreds of years, finally begin their final showdown.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Soon enough, the horn of a full-scale attack was sounded, and the Chu army surged toward the Zhao Great Wall with a force that shook the sky and the earth, including torrential rain and thunder.
"Fire the arrow!"
The guarding general was none other than Li Mu's former lieutenant Sima Shang. He raised his sword high and roared loudly, and the sky was suddenly filled with gloom.
It was a rain of arrows blocking the light, but it still couldn't stop the flying Thunder Leopard Legion from approaching like lightning.
Finally, a hammer-door cart weighing more than a thousand kilograms, with the combined efforts of hundreds of soldiers, quickly rammed towards the city gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
Under the continuous loud noises, the heavy city gate groaned, unable to stop the mountain-like impact. But at this moment, a huge swing arm suddenly fell from the city wall and hit the hammer gate with a bang.
On the car.
At the same time, the sound of strings sounded indiscriminately, and powerful crossbows shot out one after another, piercing into the Chu army fiercely, passing through the bodies of dozens of people, and then diagonally inserted into the ground.
Mohist organ skills!
The Chu State acted as an unjust force, and the Mohists had openly joined the defensive side of Qin.
However, the Chu army was also prepared. At the moment when the hammer gate cart was scrapped, aerial ladders smashed towards the top of the city with a fierce attitude. The soldiers held swords in their mouths and struggled to climb with both hands. The defenders on the top of the city shouted wildly,
Wielding the sword of slaughter.
Not long after the war started, it was already extremely tragic.
The Chu army launched a fierce and death-defying attack. Blood could be seen everywhere along the miles-long Great Wall. The sound of killing and wails filled the air in all directions. Even the soldiers far behind could feel the fighting coming from the front.
The King of Chu was sitting on a tall horse, hunting in a cloak, with an indifferent face, but the faces of the soldiers behind him were getting paler and paler.
The Xiang clan does train elite soldiers, but no matter how hard they train, soldiers are still human beings, not cold statistics.
People seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and fear death.
But now the King of Chu treats the soldiers as ants and squanders them wantonly.
Of course, the king is the king. Under the personal supervision of the King of Chu, no one dared to retreat.
Even though the defenders resisted tenaciously, under the overwhelming suppression of troops, the advantage began to tilt towards the Chu army.
Until an iron cavalry galloped out.
The cavalry of Zhao State are invincible in the world!
The King of Chu was stunned and was unable to react in time. The Thunder Leopard Army had already fallen into a pincer attack from the front and rear. The counterattack on the wall resumed, and the advantage that was finally gained was suddenly gone.
"hateful!"
The king of Chu was furious and was about to go into battle and use his magical power to make these rude Qin people taste the taste of drunkenness.
"Your Majesty, this is just the first battle!"
However, the lieutenant hurriedly persuaded him, and the insufficient divine power in his body made him restrain his impulse. Unwilling to give the order, he ordered the troops to retreat.
"I am attacking the city every day, let's see how long you can hold on!"
…
…
"The first is to attack the enemy, then the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city."
At the same time, Xiang Yan stood at the head of Daliang City, looking north, his eyes filled with gray.
The way of military strategists always emphasizes the method of attacking the city as a last resort. However, the King of Chu must attack the city in every battle, and the losses were often thousands, and in serious cases, tens of thousands.
No matter how powerful the elite soldiers trained by the Xiang family were, they could not withstand such attrition. However, Xiang Yan and his confidants in the army were arranged by the King of Chu to suppress the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms.
This is both a precaution and a helplessness.
In just six months, more than a dozen rebellions have broken out in the three countries.
The most intolerable thing about the King of Chu was that he forcibly ordered the people to sacrifice to Fang Lie.
You must know that Han and Wei Qi were not great people. They were accustomed to drinking and having fun. The people at the bottom had few opportunities to come into contact with alcohol. In the process of offering sacrifices to Fang Lie, fine wine must be used as a sacrifice. If it could not be completed, the family would be confiscated and exterminated.
This is simply not giving people a way to live. There are complaints from all over the Three Kingdoms, and the people are in dire straits.
Not to mention that Chu was the enemy country that destroyed them. Even if the original king issued such a ridiculous order, he still had to force the people to rebel. So how could there be no rebellion?
"Da Chu is going to die!"
Just when Xiang Yan sighed in despair deep in his heart, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "No, the Chu people will not perish!"
"who?"
Xiang Yan drew out the sword from his waist, turned around like a whirlwind, and quickly raised his eyebrows: "Is it you?"
"It's me! Now that things have come to this, will General Xiang continue to be loyal to that foolish king?"
The person who appeared turned out to be Liu Ji. At this time, he was dressed in military uniform and unknowingly disguised himself as Xiang Yan's personal guard.
This was the second time Liu Ji met Xiang Yan. The first time was before he rose up and raised his troops to rebel.
Generals, prime ministers, and princes should rather have their own kind. This is the creed of peasants. Liu Ji raised a red flag, respected the God of Fire, attacked the unjust, punished Chu, and rose up. He had two generals under his command, Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang, and all places responded.
This is no more than the five small vassal states, they are real rebels.
At that time, Liu Ji wanted to unite with the Xiang clan, but was rejected.
Xiang Yan was not foolishly loyal to the King of Chu. He had chosen to abandon this mediocre king as early as the god-sacrifice ceremony. But with the prince deposed, who would become the king once the King of Chu was overthrown?
By that time, Chu State was torn into pieces and would only end up being destroyed by Qin.
So at this moment, Xiang Yan still shook his head: "Don't think about it, my Xiang family will never help you."
Liu Ji was not surprised by Xiang Yan's rejection. Such people were as determined as iron and could not be persuaded by words, so he prepared his next move, clapped his hands, and another person came out.
Xiang Yan's expression suddenly changed: "You! You traitor!"
Because the person who came was unexpectedly his youngest son, Xiang Bo!
Xiang Bo mustered up his courage and said, "Your Majesty is ignorant, so why not do anything wrong? Father, I want to help Liu Ji and work together to achieve great things!"
"Then I don't have a son like you!"
Xiang Yan's tone remained unwavering, and the sword pointed directly at Xiang Bo's eyebrows, but Liu Ji shook his head and said: "General Xiang's righteousness in killing relatives is admirable. I wonder if you will attack your grandson?"
Xiang Yan's pupils suddenly shrank: "What did you do?"
Xiang Bo took a deep breath and said word by word: "The position of God of Punishment has been inherited by Shao Yu!"
