Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 64 The battle against Handan begins again!
Zhao Guo, Handan City, in the royal palace.

There were very few people in the huge palace hall at the moment, and there was an atmosphere of anxiety and worry in the air.

Suddenly, there was a bang and the bamboo slips shattered to pieces.

"Hangu's [-] reinforcements arrived in Fencheng."

"The Qin army's [-] Shu soldiers came out of Xiegu again!!"

Zhao Wangdan, who was sitting a few feet away from him, slapped the table with anger on his face. Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he yelled: "Ying Ji'an dares to bully our Zhao country like this!!!"

The sound shook the hall, revealing the overwhelming anger in his heart, but it was also laced with a trace of grief, indignation and panic.

While speaking, Zhao Wangdan subconsciously looked at a veteran general in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Old General Lian, what can I do?"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all turned to look at the veteran Lian Po who was the only one sitting in the hall.

Although his head is full of white hair, this man is still as strong as a young man. The wind-stained ravines on his face silently describe the vicissitudes of life, like a male lion.

Although he is late, his momentum is still there.

Lian Po's expression did not change at all and he said: "Qin Jun Ying Ji has an impatient and almost violent personality. With the current situation, if he does not increase his troops, I will be wary. The increase in Qin's troops has long been expected by me. Don't worry, my lord!"

After saying this, Lian Po stroked his beard, his eyes as calm as a lake.

After his words fell, everyone in the hall, including Zhao Wangdan, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that with words like Lian Po's, they would be able to sit back and relax.

Since Lian Po joined the army, he has been fighting for more than 50 years. Except for Chu, which is too far away, he has fought against Qin, Qi, Wei, and Yan. He has made gains in all four countries, and his reputation has spread to the princes.

Especially at the Mianchi meeting, Lian Po's calm and calm general demeanor even shocked Ying Ji at the time, allowing the previous King of Zhao to return to Handan safely.

And if Zhao Wangdan hadn't replaced Zhao Kuo on the battlefield in the battle of Changping, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

But the so-called care is messy.

Zhao Wangdan immediately spread his hands and said with an embarrassment: "But the Qin State must continue to attack Handan by adding [-] troops, but our Zhao State has no troops to reinforce. We only rely on the [-] soldiers and horses in the city and the hands of Li Mu." Can we handle the more than [-] troops and horses?"

In fact, it is not true that there are no soldiers and horses.

Zhao State still has at least 15 troops and horses, but these 15 troops and horses have to guard against the Xiongnu, Yan State and Qi State at the same time, and cannot be moved at all.

If they move, the entire Zhao Kingdom will be besieged on all sides.

Lian Po knew this very well, and he still said indifferently: "The reason why the Qin army is sending troops to help this time must be because Wang Lu's army does not want to fight anymore, otherwise why would Ying Ji send more troops and horses? I expect that the troops and horses attacking Handan will be There are only [-] Hangu troops under Yingjun's command, and [-] Shu troops."

Having said this, Lian Po's body slowly stood up from the soft spot where he was sitting, his vision instantly rose, and a mountain-like aura suddenly emanated from Lian Po's body.

Iron-blooded and calm.

The burly figure was like a giant pillar supporting the sky, and the high-pitched voice suddenly resounded through the hall, making everyone's ears buzz.

"Even if the 13 Shu soldiers are tenacious and the [-] Hangu army is eager to fight, so what? But trying to conquer Handan with an army of [-] is a daydream!"

"Even if Yingjun is as brave as the rumors, so what if ten thousand people cannot defeat him? So what if one general is brave and the three armies are fighting desperately. How could our Zhao army be weaker than the Qin army? The people of Qin want to fight hard, but I, the people of Zhao, are more I want to pay with blood!"

"With me, Lian Po, the Qin army will never be able to reach the top of Handan City!!"

The generous words resounded like a bell in the hearts of the kings and ministers in the palace. Everyone looked at Lian Po blankly, looking at the calm sea-like expression on his face when he said these words.

In an instant, my heart completely returned to its original position.

The leader, Zhao Wangdan, ran straight down the hall, came to Lian Po in person, bowed deeply to Lian Po, and said with emotion: "I regret not listening to the words of the old general. No matter how many words I say, it is difficult to change history. But I will never make the same mistakes of the past today! The battle of Handan has reached this point, and we can no longer lose. Qi Yan is watching, and if we lose, the country will be destroyed!"

At the end, Zhao Wangdan took out a piece of tiger talisman from his arms with red eyes. He didn't look at it or take it away. He just spread it out completely in his hands and immediately presented it to Lian Po. He said firmly:

"Today I will entrust Handan to the old general. Everyone in the city, including me, will obey the old general's orders. But if anyone disobeys, the old general can kill him with a single word!"

hiss!
hiss!
Hearing this, everyone in the hall, from Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng to the surrounding maids, couldn't help but take a deep breath.This not only handed over Handan to Lian Po, but also handed over the entire Zhao Kingdom to Lian Po.

At this moment, everyone looked at the middle of the hall and knelt down on the ground with a thud. Zhao Sheng even said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty..."

"No need to persuade me any more! I have made up my mind." Zhao Wangdan said without looking back. He stared straight at Lian Po in front of him. His hands holding the tiger talisman did not waver at all, and he repeated firmly: "Old General, please , accept the tiger talisman and protect Zhao Kingdom’s integrity!”

Seeing this scene, Lian Po closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He immediately picked up the tiger talisman in front of him and bowed down directly. A sonorous voice like a lion or a tiger sounded:

"The Qin Dynasty wants to destroy our Zhao country, but I, Lianpo!, won't agree."

……

at the same time.

South of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State, on the beach of the Weishui River.

With a forest of spears and halberds, [-] Qin army warriors stood silently in the morning wind. On the carriages pulled by packhorses beside them, bundles of arrows and swords piled up like a hill.

The flags are hunting and killing soaring to the sky.

Under a black black bird flag, General Zhang Tang of Qin State stood on horseback, his black cloak flying in the wind.

Opposite him was a temporary three-meter-high platform. Ying Ji, dressed in a black royal robe, stood on it with his sword in hand, and his loud and generous voice resounded:

"General, he will be invincible and return safely."

Zhang Tang had a resolute face and clasped his fists without answering, then immediately bowed and bowed.

Ying Ji stretched out his hand: "Get the drumsticks!"

The iron eagle warriors who were waiting on the high platform took a few steps forward and presented the drumsticks. At the most conspicuous place on the high platform, a cowhide war drum with two people hugging each other had been fixed.

Ying Ji raised it in his hand, then quickly walked to the war drum on the high platform, exhaled with a sigh, picked up the drumsticks with both arms and started beating.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Ying Ji beats the drum like thunder, and sings sonorously, with a loud and high-pitched voice:
"How can I say that I have no clothes, and I share the same robe with my son, the king Yu Xingshi, repair my spear, and share the same hatred with my son..."

A song Wu Yi roared out loudly from Ying Ji's mouth, and even though he was hoarse, he still didn't stop.

The singing stopped.

Ying Ji threw away the drumstick in his hand, looked at the fifty thousand soldiers in front of him, and roared:

"All of you soldiers are fighting for your fathers, wives and children, and for yourself and your families. There are still some waiting in your hometown. I hope that you will serve the Qin Dynasty and return in triumph."

On the side, there were Iron Eagle warriors immediately shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, please pray that all the soldiers will serve the Qin Dynasty and return in triumph!"

The [-]-strong army shouted in unison.

The sound shook for dozens of miles.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the three armies." Zhang Tang bowed and saluted on horseback: "Please look forward to the triumphant return of all the soldiers!"

Say it.

Zhang Tang led his horse into a gallop, drew his sword and pointed forward. The three armies followed him and shouted loudly. Amidst the sound of whips and the roar of cattle and horses, one cart after another slowly drove away.

On the fourth day of January in the 59th year of King Qin Yingji's reign, the confrontation between Qin and Zhao finally turned into a decisive battle again.

King Yingji of Qin condemned General Zhang and Tang's army of Qin State for going on an expedition. He personally sent them fifty miles away to the Weishui River to say goodbye, beating drums and singing "No Clothes" for them.

Zhang Tang commanded [-] elite soldiers from Shu County, carrying [-] pack horses, and headed down the Wei River to the east of the river.

While the six kingdoms of Shandong were either waiting and watching, or preparing to join forces to fight against Qin, Da Qin's battle against Handan was faster and more fierce than anyone imagined!
