My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 756: It is forbidden to spread superstitious ideas! Overturning a huge city is like peeling off a piece of paper!

The flames in Xiaobei City had not yet been extinguished, but the battle in Handan City had already begun again.

This time, Ying Chengjiao did not just attack the northern wall of Xiaobei City, but ordered the army to attack the four cities of Handan from all directions.

The battle situation returned to the script familiar to the Zhao generals.

But Sima Shang was still feeling uneasy, and even rode his horse to the west gate of Xiwang City, shouting, "Send a message to the commander Zhao Yang to form a battle array outside the west gate and hold it."

"You don't have to stop all the Qin troops, but you must keep them outside the west city gate and contain them!"

"Send a message to Doctor-in-Chief Guo Chang to order all eunuchs to climb the city walls, hold crossbows, and assist in the battle!"

"Order the commander Ma Fuxun to leave the city through the east gate of West King City and attack Qin Lexun's troops from the side!"

Le Xun, who led more than 20,000 fresh troops, lived up to Ying Chengjiao's expectations and crashed into the west gate of Xiwang City with the most determined attitude.

The remaining soldiers of Zhao Yang were exhausted and their morale was low, and they could not withstand the fierce attack of Le Xun's troops.

Xiwang City is also where King Zhao’s palace is located, so it must not be lost.

Sima Shang had no choice but to dispatch troops from various units to gather here, turning this place into the most tragic battlefield!

"Charge and kill! Seize the city!"

"Lord Zhao Chunping is dead! The main force of the Zhao army is dead! When will you surrender?!"

"The credit for being the first to reach the summit must go to our unit! Soldiers, kill!"

"Defend the walls at all costs and kill the Qin dog!"

As the shouts and cries of killing rose, a messenger came galloping over on his horse, shouting loudly: "Report!"

"Nearly 20,000 Qin troops are stationed south of Dongwang City!"

"One is from the Qin Duwei Qiang Huai's troops, and the other is from the Qin Duwei Su Jiao's troops!"

As a direct participant in the Battle of Fukouxing, Sima Shang was horrified when he heard the name of Su Jiao, and hurriedly asked: "Has the Qin commander Su Jiao launched a large-scale attack on the city?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "Qin Duwei Qiang Huai is attacking the city wall."

"Commander Su Jiao of Qin is leading his troops to dig a tunnel outside the city!"

Sima Shang looked strange: "Is Qin Duwei Su Jiao digging a tunnel?"

"And was discovered by our army?!"

The messenger's eyes were also a little strange: "Qin Duwei Su Jiao's tribe is located 300 feet outside the city."

"Although it is beyond the range of our crossbows, it can be seen clearly from the top of the city wall."

The technique of acupoint attack is not uncommon.

The information that Ying Chengjiao used the technique of hole attack when attacking Chu had already been presented to the generals of various countries.

Sima Shang was not surprised that Ying Chengjiao would use hole attack in this battle.

But the key to acupoint attack is concealment.

Even if the acupuncture attack tactics cannot be concealed, the specific location of the acupuncture attack channel must be concealed.

As a result, Su Jiao actually started digging three hundred feet outside the city?
Are they treating the Zhao army soldiers as blind?

eccentric!
It's extremely weird!
But after taking another look at Le Xun's troops fighting bravely outside the city and the Qin army's banner standing on the west side, Sima Shang could only say in a deep voice: "Order the commander Xing Liao to be cautious."

"Allow another 2,000 soldiers and horses to be given to Commander Xing Liao to guard the city."

"Order the soldiers to be on high alert!"

Compared to the tunnels that take time to dig, it is obvious that the troops led by Le Xun and Ying Chengjiao outside the city pose a greater threat!
The messenger could only bow and say: "Yes!"

However, upon hearing Sima Shang's order, Xing Liao suddenly took off his helmet and scratched his scalp vigorously: "I do not ask for support."

"I only ask General Sima to tell me clearly what the Qin army is trying to do and how our army should respond!"

At first glance, the battlefield outside the south gate of Dongwang City is no different from other city gates.

But if you look closely, you can see more than 10,000 soldiers gathered about 300 feet outside the South City Gate, wielding copper hoes and digging tunnels.

Not only Sima Shang found it strange, Xing Liao, who saw with his own eyes the Qin army digging tunnels in such an obvious place, was even more puzzled.

But Xing Liao might not know that the weirdness in Su Jiao's heart is just as much as Xing Liao's!

After issuing various orders, Su Jiao couldn't help but ask: "Brother Gua, don't we really need to retreat a little?"

"I have a lot of experience in the art of acupuncture."

"Even if our army does not intend to use this hole attack method to enter the city for a surprise attack, but intends to hollow out the bottom of the city wall to perform the city-destroying technique, it will still take a lot of time."

"According to my estimation, it will take at least half a month to dig out enough space to bring down the wall of East King City."

"The entrance to the acupuncture point is placed so far forward that it will definitely be discovered by the enemy, and will definitely be intercepted by the enemy!"

When it comes to acupoint attack, Su Jiao is a professional.

Whether it was the royal tombs of the Qin Dynasty or the royal city of the Chu State, Su Jiao was very familiar with their underground structures.

But Su Jiao had never openly dug a tunnel so close to the enemy city!
This feeling is so exciting!
The fortune teller said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao Changguo's troops have led the reinforcements from the southern cities of Zhao to break through the defense line of Commandant Ren. They will reach Handan in two days at most."

"By then, 80,000 Zhao troops will rush to support Handan."

"The Western Front, the commander of the northern army, has also sent back urgent military reports one after another. They may be defeated and flee at any time."

"We must capture this city before all the Zhao reinforcements arrive, otherwise we will be stuck in a stalemate."

"If the enemy troops leave the city to kill us, please ask Qiang Duwei to stop them."

"This strategy was decided by the Patriarch, so it can't be wrong!"

Su Jiao still had thousands of doubts in his mind, but Qiang Huai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander Su."

"If my prediction is correct, the commander is not planning to attack the city, but to use the earth dragon to attack the city!"

“And what Doctor Gua did was to dig out the altar and draw the sacrificial map!”

Su Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sacrifice to the earth dragon?"

"Then I will do my best to help you!" "Come here!"

The fortune teller: ...

The hexagram man neither admitted it nor denied it.

He just took a copper hoe, jumped into the deep pit with Su Jiao, and continued digging towards the north.

In front of nearly 10,000 experienced Qin soldiers, a mere 300-zhang tunnel was nothing.

If they need to hide, Su Jiao's troops will probably need another day or two to dig.

But without the need to hide or even make a big fuss, in just one night, a tunnel was built from the south side of Dongwang City directly under the south wall of Dongwang City!

The rising sun shines on the lead wire at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at this piece of fuse, Su Jiao's eyes became even more confused.

Is this really not a strategy to capture the city?
There was an almost fanatical look of pilgrimage in Qiang Huai's eyes, and he even knelt down and kowtowed to the fuse.

Behind Qiang Huai, more than 2,000 Qin soldiers who had followed Qiang Huai in participating in the Wujiazhai blocking battle also knelt on the ground and kowtowed like Qiang Huai. There was a burning light in everyone's eyes as they looked at the fuse.

Seeing this, Su Jiao asked in increasing confusion: "Captain Qiang, what are you doing?"

Even when offering sacrifices in Yongchou, there is no need to kowtow throughout the whole process!
Qiang Huai quickly pulled Su Jiao to kneel down and whispered, "Don't shout!"

"The sacrifice is about to begin!"

"Look!"

Su Jiao followed Qiang Huai's gaze and saw the fortune teller walking to the edge of the cave with a torch in his hand.

Although he had this experience once, the fortune teller was still a little nervous.

But after being severely scolded by Ying Chengjiao last time, the fortune teller did not dare to shout out Ying Chengjiao's name at this moment, for fear that Ying Chengjiao would get angry again.

After taking a deep breath, the fortune teller held the torch and smashed it down with force!
Seeing the fire follow the fuse deeper into the cave entrance, the fortune teller murmured nervously: "I don't know why the master of the house forbade me to shout like that again, and even said that I was spreading some superstitious ideas."

"I only hope that the Earth Dragon can learn the master's order, I wish..."

Before the hexagram maker had finished mumbling, Qiang Huai's neck veins had already clenched, and he and more than 2,000 veterans under his command roared at the top of their lungs:

"Pass the order from the Lord of Chang'an!"

"Earthworm!"

"Turn over!"

Husband: ???
All the rulers and ministers of Zhao State: !!!

Listening to the shouts of more than 2,000 Qin soldiers, Sima Shang's face turned pale in an instant: "How could this be? How could this be!"

"Lord Qin Chang'an can actually command the earth dragons again?!"

"My Great Zhao, it's over!"

Facing the shouts of Qiang Huai's troops, Xing Liao screamed in shock: "Escape to an open area!"

"quick!!!"

In an instant, there was chaos on the city wall of Handan. Soldiers from all departments fled in panic, but they didn't know where to hide to avoid the power of the earth dragon!

However, after spinning around like headless flies for dozens of seconds, the violent earthquake they had imagined did not come.

Zhao Wuya ran to an open area under the city and couldn't help but said, "I think this is just a trick by the Qin army!"

"The fact that Lord Qin Chang'an can command earth dragons has yet to be verified."

"Even if Qin Chang'an Jun really has the ability to command the Earth Dragon, the Earth Dragon is not under Qin Chang'an Jun's command. How can Qin Chang'an Jun order the Earth Dragon around and control it at will?"

"More importantly, the Qin army outside the city has not retreated at all!"

Looking at the Qin troops on the west side of Xiwang City, who had not retreated at all and were even advancing, Sima Shang broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

If the army is not allowed to withdraw from the city wall, once the earth dragon turns over near the city wall, all the Zhao army soldiers will die!

But if the army withdraws from the city wall, the Qin army may easily capture the city wall, and the State of Zhao will perish!
After struggling for more than ten breaths, Sima Shang, who had not waited for the shock, finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"That shout just now was just a trick by the Qin army."

"Order all troops to defend the city walls to the death. Do not allow the Qin army to take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack!"

Hearing the messenger's call, Xing Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered, "Order our troops to go up to the city wall!"

"Prepare to deal with the Qin army's strong attack!"

Just as the king and his ministers of Zhao were struggling, thinking and guessing, the flame was also moving rapidly along the fuse.

Wait until Xing Liao's troops return to the city wall and be ready for battle.

The flames finally crossed the three-hundred-foot tunnel and entered the narrow space under the city wall!

then……

"Boom~~~~"

A dull and deafening roar came from beneath the soil.

The mountains of black powder were detonated at the same time, and the heat and air waves rushed upward along the deliberately dug cavity.

The city walls that were heavy, solid and magnificent in the past are now as light as a piece of thin paper.

Throw it into the sky!

then……

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

The city wall, which was over a hundred feet long, flew up more than ten feet high before crashing to the ground.

Because his center of gravity was unstable when he landed, he fell heavily into the East King City!!!
