The huge boulder hit the city wall hard. Suddenly, in the explosion, the city wall collapsed. The soldiers on the city wall howled miserably and were submerged along with the city wall. Arrows continued to fall on the city wall. Listen to
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air in his ears, Lian Po raised his big shield high. The shield was full of arrows. Lian Po's other hand was holding a spear... Lian Po threw out the spear in his hand.
The spear, the spear suddenly penetrated the Qin soldier who had just climbed the city wall, and brought him down.
The soldiers of Wei held their shields high and fought in the rain of arrows. As long as they made a mistake, they would be crucified here forever. At some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and amid the thunder,
The Qin people's war drums became louder and louder, deafening. The Qin soldiers stood neatly around the city wall, constantly taking turns to attack. They did not have to worry about counterattacks from the city wall.
Because the Qin State had a complete advantage in terms of archers, the enemy did not dare to draw their bows to fight back.
They were able to gather at the foot of the city calmly, and then began to rotate the offensive without interruption. Such an offensive was very fatal to Lian Po, because he needed to lead these troops to continue fighting, such as Gamao and others.
Weapons are not light in weight. In addition to the opponent's arrows, the soldiers need the protection of shields. It is very physically demanding to lift these to fight.
Even if you don't do anything while holding the shield, you will feel sore just by holding it for a moment. What's more, if you keep fighting with the shield, you can't rest... Qin can take turns to attack, but they can't take turns because they don't have enough.
In terms of manpower, Lian Po did a good enough job in this war. After paying the price of more than 30,000 people, he also caused Qin to lose nearly half of its combat effectiveness and delayed Meng Ao's advancement.
Both Lian Po and Meng Ao knew in their hearts that no matter whether Shanyang could be conquered or not, Qin would not have the strength to continue advancing. Lian Po's resistance was too tenacious, and Qin's food could not support Meng Ao's continued fighting. However, Shanyang
It must be taken down. After taking this place, Qin State will directly strangle Wei State's neck. If Wei State dares to resist, Qin State will directly strangle him to death. At this chokepoint, the war is still going on.
.
The soldiers of Wei could no longer lift their shields. The exhaustion of their physical strength and their hunger these days had brought them to the point of collapse. Many soldiers had already started crying. They were desperate and they no longer wanted to fight anymore.
After suffering such pain, their arms seemed to be broken, and their whole bodies felt like they were about to explode. The pain was heartbreaking. So, these people dropped their shields and jumped from the city wall directly holding the enemy. Compared with such pain, death
It feels better.

The remaining people continue to fight purely by relying on their own perseverance and belief.
The city walls on the south and west were breached, and Qin soldiers continued to pour in and quickly spread on the city walls. Finally, the Qin people stopped shooting because continuing to shoot arrows would hurt their own people, and Lian Po took
He launched an attack on the soldiers who were climbing the city in these two directions. When Lian Po rushed into the enemy, he kept attacking with the spear in his hand, stabbing the Qin people to death one after another. His speed was extremely fast.
, the enemy was killed by him without even reacting.
When the spear broke, Lian Po directly picked up the weapon from the ground and continued to fight. He was stunned and cut a bloody path among the Qin people. The Qin people around him fell one after another, and the soldiers who followed him
They roared angrily and followed him to kill the enemies who had boarded the city. Qin's soldiers gathered at the edge of the city wall and were pushed down. Lian Po kicked the last enemy off the city wall before continuing.
Kill towards the west wall.
The battle continued for a whole day. At the most exaggerated moment, all three city walls were captured by the Qin people. However, Lian Po was like a killing machine that didn't know how to tire. He fought back and forth between the walls in the four directions, getting increasingly tired.
More and more people died in his hands. At night, Meng Ao had no choice but to stop attacking the city, while Lian Po summoned the people in the city to help treat the wounded soldiers, hoping that they could help build some defenses.
Lian Po gasped and looked at the mountains of corpses on the ground. He had turned into a bloody man and looked terrifying. He wiped away the blood in front of his eyes and looked at the corpses at his feet. He didn't see them for a long time.
Words. Soon, a doctor came to treat Lian Po. When the doctor took off Lian Po's armor, he was frightened. He could not imagine what kind of battle would cause a person to bear such serious injuries.
.
There were several arrows stuck in Lian Po's body, and white bones were exposed in many places, and there were even bloody holes pierced by the spears, which were bleeding out. The doctor was trembling all over and couldn't start. He didn't know
How should he govern himself? He didn't understand why a person could continue to live and fight after being hurt like this... Lian Po smiled disapprovingly and just said: "Don't shake your hands, you are
You want to heal me, but I am very scared to see your hands shaking!"
The doctor's face was pale and he couldn't smile at all. He hurriedly helped Lian Po bandage his wound.
Lian Po sat motionless on the city wall, looking at the dim sky. This might be the last time he saw the moon. When Meng Ao launches a general attack tomorrow, the city will fall. The soldiers in the city have reached their limit.
He has also reached an extreme point. This city can no longer be defended... Meng Ao has become more and more cautious. Until now, he is unwilling to divide his troops anymore, relying on his own strength to continue to advance...
If I switch positions with him, I can defeat his entire army in two days... Hateful, hateful, if he is killed by Meng Ao, when he meets Lord Xinling, he will make fun of himself again
, he always used Meng Ao to show off his achievements... Lian Po watched the moon slowly appear in the sky. He was obviously so tired, but he couldn't sleep at all, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
However, Lian Po didn't feel sad. Rather than dying on the sickbed like Le Yi and Tian Dan, it would be better to be killed on the battlefield. Such a way of death is more acceptable to him. Well... everything is fine.
Waiting for tomorrow's battle.
The next day came quickly. Lian Po felt the first ray of sunlight shining on his face. He opened his eyes suddenly and struggled to stand up. As a result, he found that he had lost feeling in his legs. Lian Po
Po could only hold his spear and stood up again. He saw the soldiers around him looking into the distance. They were shouting something. Lian Po looked into the distance. The sunlight was a bit dazzling and made him feel in a trance. Soon
, he could clearly see the situation in the distance.
In the distance, the Qin State Camp all over the mountains and plains has disappeared. It is so quiet and peaceful everywhere. Lian Po looks into the distance with all his strength, but there is no trace of Qin people! Lian Po's eyes widened. The Qin State is retreating.
After all? Meng Ao persisted for so many days, why did he suddenly choose to retreat?
At this moment, Meng Ao retreated to the city that had been captured by the Qin State, and sent people to resist in all directions towards the Zhao State. It turned out that it was the Zhao State that sent troops, and King Wei was sending Lian
When General Po went out to fight, he sent people to see the King of Zhao with gifts and asked Zhao to save Wei. The King of Wei summoned his ministers, Pang Gong, Li Mu, Jianxin Jun and others to support sending troops to save Wei.
However, the State of Zhao also suffered a disaster and could not send too many people. The State of Zhao could only pretend to summon an army to put pressure on the State of Qin. After experiencing a bitter experience, Meng Ao decided not to continue advancing. This time
Although he failed to destroy the Wei State, Meng Ao had captured more than a dozen cities in the Wei State. The territory of the Wei State was almost the same as that of South Korea, with only a few cities left.
If we continue to fight here, it is very likely that Zhao will cut off rear supplies, and Qin itself will also spend a lot of money. Therefore, Meng Ao chose to accept it as soon as possible.
After Meng Ao chose to retreat, Zhao also stopped its military operations. Their goal had been achieved.
Lian Po did not leave. He waited in Juyang for a while. It was not until he learned that Meng Ao had led the main army back to Xianyang that he reluctantly accepted the reality. It seemed that he could not die as he wished.
The battlefield is on. The soldiers will help General Lian Po get into the carriage, and they will also leave here and go to Daliang. This war completely knocked Wei from its position as a powerful country.
Almost all the rich territories of the Wei State fell into the hands of the Qin people. The Wei State could no longer attack other countries at will like the previous kings did. They may even have to rely on powerful countries like Zhao, Chu, and Qi in order to protect themselves.
... Even so, King Wei was still very happy. In any case, Wei State was saved. He personally came to greet General Lian Po outside Daliang.
Unfortunately, General Lian Po was seriously injured and could not get up to see the King of Wei. The King of Wei insisted on being driven by General Lian Po, and Lord Longyang did not object. After returning to Daliang, the King of Wei rewarded many cities including Shanyang.
He defeated Lian Po and was granted the title Lord Shanyang. Lian Po was always smiling these days. After fighting for most of his life, he finally gained respect in Wei.
King Zhao didn't like him, and the current King of Zhao doesn't like him either, but King Wei admired him very much. He finally got the corresponding respect in Wei State and got a lot of food. Of course, what Lian Po cared about was not
It's not the amount of food. What he wants is that the king pays enough attention to and trusts him... He can't stand that a villain like Zheng Anguo can become a prince, but he has great military achievements but can only be a minister.
Yan State
Ju Xin's eyes widened and he looked at King Yan in front of him. He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, no, don't act recklessly." King Yan laughed and asked disdainfully: "How serious are you?
What are you afraid of? In the past, Zhao State had brave generals like Lian Po, and they had well-equipped soldiers, but now? Because of the battle with Ma Fujun, the morale of their soldiers has dropped sharply, and they are no longer as good as before... And a locust plague broke out in their country.
There is not much food left..."
"Lian Po is not in Zhao State now... That general named Li Mu can only fight a dozen barbarians outside the Great Wall. What is his ability?"
The King of Yan spoke proudly, but Ju Xin said: "Although the State of Zhao suffered a disaster, the State of Yan did not have much food, nor did it have the strength to conquer the State of Zhao...Li Mu, this person, is even less capable.
"You look down upon me, please don't make a decision in a hurry." King Yan said angrily: "I have heard that Qin is attacking Wei, and Zhao is using Li Mu as general to resist Qin in the west... If
King Zhao called Li Mu to resist the Yan State. As our ally, the Qin State will definitely send troops... What are you worried about?"
Ju Xin shook his head and was about to say something, but King Yan said angrily: "I have made a decision, whether you like it or not... I will send troops to the State of Zhao to avenge the shame of the past and let the State of Zhao hand over
Get out of the land that was taken away by them! The people there are still waiting for me to send troops to rescue them, and why do you repeatedly stop me from sending troops? If you are afraid and dare not fight, then I will do something else.
Choose someone else to fight!"
King Yan immediately looked at his ministers. Ju Xin followed his gaze and looked at the young people. He sighed helplessly and then said: "I am not afraid. If the Lord really wants to attack Zhao
country, then let me serve as a general." King Yan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will recruit a hundred thousand troops from all over the country to accompany you to attack Zhao State, and provide food supplies.
We must make up for it, Zhao State will definitely not be able to provide so many troops."
"But...well, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ju Xin didn't say anything. King Yan probably thought that Yan would win, so he quickly held a banquet in the palace to entertain his ministers. Ju Xin remained silent until he left the banquet and returned home.
Then he called his children in front of him. He looked at his sons and said seriously: "I have written all the principles I have known in my life on these bamboo slips. Each of you can copy one copy. You cannot
Let these be lost.”
"Father??You are..."
"Don't ask. If I am defeated and killed this time, you don't have to avenge me... On the battlefield, everyone is his own master. This is not a personal feud. After I lead the troops and leave, you can resign your official positions, and then
Leave Yan State..."
Ju Xin's eldest son, He, said solemnly: "Father, I heard that I risked my life while putting my father in danger. This is not the way of a gentleman. Please allow me to follow you. If you defeat the opponent, I am willing to play music for you."
, If we are defeated, I will fight to the death with you." Ju Xin looked at his eldest son, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Okay, then you will be my lieutenant, and we will go on an expedition together."
The other sons of Ju Xin also hurriedly requested to go to the battle together, but Ju Xin refused.
"Father... tell me, who will King Zhao choose to be the general?"
"Pang Nuan."
"Pang Gong?? He is still alive?? Isn't he your friend?"
"Yeah...he's my friend."
ps: In the fifth year of King Wang's reign, Meng Ao attacked 20 cities including Jujube and others in Wei's Jiandong County.
