Zhang Er, who was over sixty years old, had not slept for several days. Although he knew that this was a battle with no chance of winning, he still held his sword and did not bother to comb his messy hair, motivating the light knights to fight at the top of Puyang City.
"Qin wants to avenge Xihe and will massacre all the Wei people. We will undoubtedly die, but whether we die kneeling or standing depends on the second and third sons!"
Zhang Er not only wanted to show up himself, but also had Wei Bao be brought out, put on dazzling armor, and let him appear at the top of the city to inspire people.
However, Wei Bao has completely lost the complacency he had when he became King of Wei more than a year ago. His eyes are dull now and he only murmurs:
"Xu Fu lied to me, Xu Fu lied to me..."
If the female fortune teller Xu Negative of Wen County had not said that he would have the spirit of an emperor in the future, Wei Bao would not have come to sit on the throne of Wei King. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been controlled by Zhang Er. After Zhang Er took Hedong, he would not have
In order to divide the country and make Zhang Er the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, he went to Andong County. Unexpectedly, Zhang Er retreated all the way and returned to Dong County to crowd with him.
Originally, Wei Bao thought that it was a good sign that he would establish his capital in Puyang, because it was called "Emperor Hill" in ancient times and was the former capital of Zhuan Xu. He could fulfill his orders here and revive the Wei Dynasty.
But who would have thought that this would be a dead end.
Fortune-tellers tell fortunes many times every year. Those who make mistakes are forgotten, but those who are successful are remembered. This is how they gain the reputation of being able to calculate fortunes without fail.
Today, the King of Wei is discouraged, but the Prime Minister of Wei still persists.
But Zhang Er's fighting spirit almost collapsed the moment he learned about the death of his son Zhang Ao...
The head was hung on a horse and sent to the city. The Wei people sent warriors to drop it into a bamboo basket and go downstairs to retrieve it. The wet head actually belonged to Zhang Ao, Zhang Er's son...
The day before yesterday, Zhang Ao wanted to dig the mouth of the gourd and flood the river to flood the Qin army. Guan Ying, who had been on guard for a long time, took advantage of his plan and drove him into the water. He was hit by several arrows but survived. However, after he flopped ashore, he was attacked by several Dongjun knights.
What was gained, the young knight of Dongjun now understood clearly. The Qin army at most killed them themselves, but Zhang Ao wanted to let hundreds of thousands of people in Dongjun bury themselves in the belly of fish. He hated it so much that he drowned him in the water and chopped them.
He killed Zhang Ao's head and begged the Qin people to surrender.
Now Zhang Ao's head was sent to Puyang by Guan Ying to dampen the fighting spirit of the Wei army.
Holding his son's head in his arms, Zhang Er burst into tears.
The decision he made in Wai Huang separated father and son. He thought that after reuniting, father and son could work together to do great things and even avenge the past. Unexpectedly, they were defeated and retreated all the way to Dongjun.
He hid under a pseudonym in Chen County because he knew that a man of great wisdom and courage would be able to tolerate small shame and small anger.
But in the end, it was all in vain.
Zhang Er murmured: "Why didn't I just die in the battle in Waihuang back then? What's the difference today?"
The Qin people's attack began again, and he was filled with grief and anger. Zhang Er stood up again and called on the light knights to join the battle. This time, he no longer commanded from a safe place, but took the lead, with his gray hair disheveled and holding a sword.
Fight to the death with the Qin people who ascended the city.
"Kill the Qin invaders!"
As if it was coming back, the Qin army's tidal offensive was repulsed again, and the Wei people cheered.
But they couldn't see clearly. On the artificial earth hill in the south of the city, a whole group of people were playing with a piece of equipment that was covered with cloth and transported to the front line. The crossbow looked like a cart, with three bows composited together, and the cart was turned on an axis (i.e.
Winch) draw the string and draw the bow.
Even if the Wei people saw it, they would not be wary, because the Qin army's rhubarb crossbow, which has the longest range these days, can only shoot more than 200 steps when used by two people, which is equivalent to the range of a trebuchet.
And that earth mountain is a full four hundred steps away from the city wall. There is no long-range weapon in the world that can reach this distance.
After a flurry of fuss, the aim was completed, and as the crossbowman clicked his teeth and fired the crossbow, there was a loud bang, and the arrows thundered and flew towards the city wall!
He screamed in surprise, but had no time to escape.
This was originally a test firing. The Star Destroyer Crossbow was aimed at the left watchtower at the top of the city. Unexpectedly, it missed too far. By coincidence, it hit Zhang Er on the right side of the watchtower!
The arrow uses wood as the shaft and iron as the feather. The force cannot be underestimated. Before Zhang Er was conscious, his whole body was torn apart by the huge force. The shock was still on his face, but he was killed instantly!
…
After Zhang Er was killed, Puyang quickly lost its fighting spirit. After the Qin army captured Waiguo, Wei Bao chose to surrender.
As the horse entered Puyang City, Dongmen Bao saw the Wei flag trampled under the horse's hooves. Looking at the front, he was trembling with fear. However, because he could not find the sheep, he could only lead a dog instead. Wei Bao felt that
This scene seems familiar!
He remembered that it was seventeen years ago. At that time, Heifu was just a small village leader, wandering around the village, and Dongmen Leopard was just a small leader. He was injured outside and returned to Chen Wujiu.
He went to the Liangdi base camp to recuperate, and Heifu and others escorted the Waihuang grain to Daliang before he rejoined the team.
But while they were reminiscing about old times, Daliang City, which had been soaked for several months, suddenly collapsed!
Liang collapsed and Wei died. The group of them stood on tiptoe in the crowd, and finally saw that inside the open west gate of the beam, the last king of Wei was bound with his face uncovered, leading a sheep on the left and holding a straw on the right.
He walked on his knees in the water, knelt all the way to the city gate, and surrendered to the Qin army...
General Wang Ben, on the other hand, proudly rode his horse into the beam.
Seventeen years have passed. The little Shichang who was like a passer-by at that time is now a dignified tiger prince, ranking among the nine ministers!
"Back then in Daliang, the pavilion chief and I were just spectators, watching Wang Ben's illustrious martial arts and enjoying the glory of destroying a country."
"Today, I feel like I was Wang Ben back then, doing what he did!"
Although they are enemies, Dongmen Leopard deeply admires Wang Ben, obeys his military skills, and respects his loyalty.
As loyal as Wang Ben was to the First Emperor of Qin, Dongmen Bao must be as loyal to Duke Xia and his heirs!
The halberd in his hand raised the Wei flag high, and the Dongmen Leopard made the three armies shout in unison: "Xia Gong is victorious!"
He planned to sweep Dongjun and completely seize this place. He also sent Guan Ying with chariots and cavalry to send the captured Wei Bao to Chenliu, together with the news of his victory.
"Go tell the regent"
"A Bao has fulfilled his mission and conquered Wei..."
He grinned and said, "I stepped back into the coffin!"
…
At the end of June, the month of summer, the sun is in the willows and the fire is dim.
The weather is hot, the willow trees beside Honggou Bianshui outside Chenliu City are shaded, and cicadas are chirping.
This was the city that Heifu first attacked when he followed Wang Ben to destroy Wei seventeen years ago. Although there was no bloody battle at that time, that march had a profound impact on Heifu, and he began to learn from that time.
Marching and fighting.
Now the main force of the Qin army has successfully passed through Sanchuan and is firmly entrenched between Liang and Chu, and Chenliu is the new headquarters selected by Heifu. This place is at the center of the world, with a suburb extending in all directions, surrounded by a chasm and Bian River.
Controlling Sui and Huai is enough to ban Guandong.
What is placed in front of Heifu is a huge map of Kanto, with mountains, rivers and cities on it. There are also square blocks arranged in different directions, each with the name of the Kanto princes.
"Chu, Zhao, Qi, Wei, Han, Dai, Yan... and the so-called 'King Zhao'."
When Heifudong left Hangu, he faced more than six enemies.
But now, there are only five left.
Just now, Heifu had picked up the Dongfang "Qi" building block, thrown it into the brazier behind him, and let it burn gradually.
Yesterday, Chen Ping reported that Peng Yue had led his remaining troops back to Xue County after the defeat of Pengcheng. This big bandit was also decisive and immediately killed Tian Guang and imprisoned Kong Yu. He also asked Hei Fu to surrender, and would also establish the Qi State and resist.
All the blame for the imperial court was passed on to the Lu Confucians.
What’s funny is that the various citations from the scriptures are written by Lu Ru at first glance...
It was easy for Peng Yue to escape as Prime Minister, but it was not easy for those who were already kings.
And just now, after receiving the good news from Dongmen Leopard from Puyang, Heifu also threw the "Wei" building blocks into it.
In addition to Qi Wei, there was also a block that had been burned to charcoal lying in the brazier.
The original word written above was: "Han"!
"regent."
Hei Fu turned around, but it was Chen Hui, his confidant from the Wing Camp. He bowed to Hei Fu and said:
"Zhang Liang, a Korean, has been escorted to Chenliu!"
