Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 802 Breaking the Door
  Seven days later, Wang Ben recalled the soldiers who had dug and modified the river channel, and the army was completely reorganized, just waiting to invade Daliang City.

The movement in the Qin army's camp also alerted the defenders in Daliang City, who judged that the Qin army was going to attack the city by force.

This caused great panic in the city, especially among the aristocracy headed by King Wei.

However, although there were no outstanding figures in the Wei court, they were not all useless. Therefore, some ministers speculated that reinforcements might be arriving soon.

After all, Wang Ben had made it clear before that he wanted to make a fuss about the water of the chasm, but suddenly he changed his plan and planned to attack regardless of casualties. There must be a reason.

Wei's reinforcements are coming, and the Qin army's lack of time is the most reasonable explanation.

The monarchs and ministers of the Wei State did not care whether this speculation was true or not. Anyway, they promoted it according to this theory, which not only stabilized the morale of the army and the people, but also comforted themselves.

Wang Ben was a little confused by the inexplicable rise in combat morale of the Wei army, but he was too lazy to delve into it.

The main army of the Wei State is still floating north of the Yellow River. No matter how the Wei monarchs and ministers think about it, it will not change the situation. As long as Gu Xun can really break through the city gate, it will be useless even if the morale of the Wei army is skyrocketing.

………………

The day of war.

Wang Ben commanded the army and divided into four groups to attack the four gates of Daliang City.

However, only a small number of soldiers were deployed on three of the routes to feign attacks, in order to distract and disperse the Wei army's forces as much as possible, while the main force was concentrated on one route.

This is to facilitate Gu Xun's breaking operation.

Although Gu Xun told Wang Ben that he didn't need to care about him and could just command his own army, Wang Ben certainly couldn't completely ignore Gu Xun's life and death, and still tried to create a safer environment for him as much as possible.

Although the effect may not be obvious.

Under the flags of the commanders of the three armies, Wang Ben stood supporting his chariot, and Gu Xun stood beside him.

Neither Zhang Han nor Xiaomeng came to join in the fun.

Zhang Han originally wanted to see General Wang Ben's command and dispatching skills.

Unfortunately, Xiaomeng disliked the scenes of war and chose to hide in the military camp. Zhang Han had no choice but to stay in the camp to look after the children.

After a simple test, Wang Ben commanded the soldiers to press forward with all their strength without hesitation.

When the Wei army realized that the Qin army was not just pretending but serious, they immediately resisted with all their strength.

The offensive and defensive sides soon entered a fierce state.

The Qin army built ladders, pushed carts, and even had a large number of public loser machine beasts to assist in attacking the city. The various machine creations were dazzling.

As the defender, the Wei army didn't have that many extravagances. It was just the traditional rolling stones, wood, oil, etc., as well as waves of arrows raining down.

However, in a critical battle, the defender always has an inherent advantage. Although the Qin soldiers were extremely brave, the Daliang city wall was not in a position to be defended at all.

Seeing that Wei Jun was completely attracted, Wang Ben immediately looked at Gu Xun, "The next step is all up to the Imperial Master."

Gu Xun nodded, "Don't worry, it won't take long."

Then, the figure disappeared in a flash.

Wang Ben looked at the empty space and quickly turned his attention back to the battlefield.

He had to control the intensity of this siege.

Although Gu Xun said it would be done soon, he had no idea how long it would take.

If it is delayed for too long, the Qin army's current offensive will cause serious casualties.

Therefore, he had to adjust the rhythm of the attack well, neither allowing the Wei army to relax nor attacking blindly.

……………… 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Within the city wall, thousands of soldiers were constantly running, either going up the city wall to take over vacant positions, or going down the city wall to recover from their injuries.

Gu Xun didn't watch for too long and immediately ran towards the city gate.

It is said that only one layer of the city wall needs to be broken, but in fact, this layer of city wall has several gates.

The innermost one is the main city gate, the outer one is the Fangcheng gate, and the outermost one is the Fangcheng gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Gu Xun could no longer hide his figure, because the place was densely packed with soldiers, walking in and out of the city tower.

Gu Xun, who was spotless and looked like a handsome gentleman, was incompatible with the surrounding soldiers at first glance, so he immediately attracted the attention of the defenders.

Without any words, all the Wei soldiers immediately judged Gu Xun, who was approaching the city gate for no reason, as an enemy, and waved their weapons to kill him without hesitation.

Facing these soldiers, Gu Xun had no intention of holding back at all. He raised his hand and slapped them away.

Rizhao Jiuzhou!

The blazing Feihong Zhenqi condensed into a Zhenqi fireball, which instantly ignited all objects in a large space in front of Gu Xun. These Wei soldiers did not even let out a miserable scream, but quietly turned into charred corpses.

Maybe their death was tragic, but there was absolutely no pain when they died.

In an instant, dozens of soldiers lost their lives completely, scaring the rest of the Wei army into retreating two steps.

But in the blink of an eye, they overcame their inner fear and continued to attack Gu Xun without fear of death.

Sometimes, they could retreat and escape, but today, there was no way out.

Either fight to the death or fight to the death, there is no other choice.

Facing these Wei soldiers who were willing to die, Gu Xun's eyes showed no fluctuation, and he reaped their lives mercilessly, heading steadily towards the city gate.

He came to save people, but he did not hesitate to kill.

Just when Gu Xun was about to break through the Wei army's defense, a fierce and sharp energy came from behind, aiming directly at his throat.

Gu Xunhun raised his hand carelessly, while not forgetting to clear the last obstacle in front of him.

Finally, he stood in front of the main gate of the city wall, facing this majestic and closed gate.

And a curved blade that passed through the wind from behind was slapped back along its original path by his palm.

"It's you!" A strong female voice sounded from behind Gu Xun.

Daliang Piamen, Mei Sanniang.

She was still wearing that indescribable tight dress, carrying the scythe, and her sharp-lined face was full of nervousness.

She had heard about Gu Xun's strength, and even seen it before.

Gu Xun was not in a hurry to catch up with this old acquaintance. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and smashed it against the city gate in front of him without hesitation.

Seeing this, Mei Sanniang's face changed even more. She didn't dare to stop where she was. She waved her right hand with the scythe in her hand, whizzed and slashed at Gu Xun, and shouted, "You dare!"

I dare!
  Gu Xun showed a smile, his fist still touched the city gate, and his true energy surged out like a flood.

In the blink of an eye, the red and golden blazing flames completely enveloped the city gate that was more than three feet high.

At this time, Mei Sanniang had just taken her first step. However, before her feet touched the ground, she saw that the city gate, which had turned into a wall of blazing fire, had collapsed under Gu Xun's fist.
