Da Qin: Become stronger and immortal by picking up attributes from the battlefield

Chapter 193 Zhao Feng: Next it depends on how the King of Qin rewards us!
Hangu military camp!

"Report to the general."

"After three days of attack, the Wei army stationed in Liyang City has been breached by our army."

"But Pang Wu did not want to fight and led his troops to retreat into Qiusha City."

A general came to the tent to report.

"It is clear that Pang Wu is willing to risk everything to stop our army."

"Try to delay our army's attack on Wei capital as much as possible. Judging from the current battle situation, it will take at least three months for our army to reach Daliang, and it will not even be enough." Li Xin said angrily.

"Wu'an's camp has already attacked Wei's capital. If I allow Hangu and Wu'an to join forces, Wei's capital will be besieged by two camps of our Great Qin."

"Wei Wuji naturally issued a death order and asked Pang Wu to hold him back." Huan Yi said in a deep voice, his expression relatively calm.

"General."

"I wonder if the general knows about the movement in Wu'an Camp?"

"For more than a month, there has been no movement in the Wuan camp. It seems that they have given up the attack on the Wei capital and are going to hold out until they join forces with our army before attacking again." Li Xin said in a low voice.

Huan Yi looked up at Li Xin and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"Since the Wu'an camp has not mobilized any troops, why not march westward to deal with Pang Wu? In this way, our two camps can join forces to annihilate Pang Wu, and then work together to capture the Wei capital." Li Xin said somewhat indignantly.

Hear this.

Huan Yi frowned and stared at Li Xin, revealing a kind of displeasure: "When did you become so narrow-minded?"

"General..." Li Xin's face changed.

"On the battlefield, what we fight for is military merit."

"This time, the king asked us to send troops from Hangu and Wu'an at the same time. In addition to working together to destroy Wei, he also wanted our two camps to fight."

"Why do you think the Wu'an Camp will give up their gains to help us?"

"Why do you think this is so natural?"

"If our Hangu Camp had reached the capital of Wei this time, wouldn't you have thought of attacking the capital with all your strength and instead sent troops to support the Wu'an Camp?"

Huan Yi said in a didactic tone.

Hear this.

A look of embarrassment also appeared on Li Xin's face. He lowered his head and dared not say much.

"The general will be outside."

"Adapt according to the situation on the battlefield."

"Zhao Feng has been commanding troops for several years. When have you ever seen him give up halfway?"

"I want to come."

"He must have been planning a strategy to capture the Wei capital during this month." Huan Yi said with certainty.

"But the intelligence says that Wei Du has been run by Wei Wuji and is impregnable. Even people in the city need to use hanging baskets to enter and exit. The city walls are extremely thick and the city gates are sealed. There is no other way except to storm. How else can Zhao Feng break into the city?" Li Xin said with a look of disbelief.

"Only when you are in the middle of a battle can you know how to break out of it."

"Li Xin."

"Although you are only a few years older than Zhao Feng, you are far inferior to him."

"I know what you are thinking. You think you are higher than the sky and stronger than Wang Ben and Meng Tian."

"But you lack their calmness and have a bit of arrogance that they don't have."

"If you keep going on for too long, you're bound to lose something."

Huan Yi spoke to Li Xin very seriously. This was naturally because of his status as a general, and he was teaching Li Xin as an elder.

"I will keep the general's teachings in mind." Li Xin responded immediately, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he did not really take Huan Yi's teachings to heart.

Maybe it's just my personality.

"Alas." Huan Yi shook his head and said nothing more.

Li Xin.

He was indeed a capable general in the Qin army, but he happened to be a capable general, and he came from a prominent family, so he developed an arrogant character.

……

Qiusha City!
On the city floor.

"General."

"The Qin army's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and our army has been retreating. Not only have we lost many soldiers, our morale has been greatly damaged, and there are also many deserters."

"In this case, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold off the Qin Hangu camp for much longer."

A deputy general looked at Pang Wudao with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty has an order."

"Our army is determined to stop the Qin army from advancing eastwards."

"We must not retreat, even if we have to fight to the last soldier." Pang Wu had a serious look on his face, full of determination to co-exist with the country.

"Yes." The deputy general bowed and said no more.

"How many troops does our army have now?" Pang Wu asked in a deep voice.

They had been fighting with the Qin army for nearly half a year. Not only was the daily consumption of food and grass extremely high, but so were the casualties in terms of manpower.

The Qin army's Hangu camp had 300,000 troops, so it was naturally impossible for them to attack at the same time, and they had to attack in a dispersed manner.

He originally had an army of 250,000, so they were naturally stationed separately.

"Come back, General."

"Originally our army had 250,000 soldiers, but after nearly half a year of fighting the Qin army."

"Some of our soldiers died, some were injured, and some fled."

"Now there are less than 150,000 soldiers in our army who can still fight." A deputy general lamented.

In less than half a year, nearly 100,000 soldiers were lost.

Moreover, this number of less than 150,000 may not have been counted, but only estimated, and the number of troops he still has may be only 130,000 or 140,000.

One can imagine how great the losses suffered by the Wei army were.

"Pass my general's orders."

"Continue to defend this city."

"Anyone who dares to leave his post will be executed."

"If you dare to be a deserter, you will be beheaded."

Pang Wu immediately gave the order.

"promise."

The Wei generals dared not disobey.

Just when they were ready to retreat.

"Report."

"Report to the general."

"A Qin army appeared in the back city."

A scout ran over in panic and reported loudly.

"What did you say?"

"Qin troops appeared in the rear city?"

Pang Wu frowned and looked panicked.

Although he was now retreating step by step, every time he retreated into a city, he would deploy the entire army to set up a defense line, still blocking the Qin army in the west and preventing them from getting close to the capital.

now.

The Qin army actually came from the back city.

Then there is only one possibility.

This Qin army came from their capital.

"Hurry, go to the back city."

"General Cao, you must guard the front city and not give the Qin army a chance to take advantage."

Pang Wu said with a serious face.

Then, without any hesitation, he walked towards the back of the city.

On top of the city wall of Houcheng.

A Qin army numbering no more than two thousand was lined up in front of the city.

They lined up in a row and did not launch an attack on the city garrisoned by the Wei army.

"It is indeed the Qin army."

"It's impossible for them to pass through the defense line I set up. So there is only one possibility: they came from the capital."

"Could it be that something unexpected happened in the capital?"

Looking at the Qin army lined up in front of the city, Pang Wu's face turned very ugly.

If the capital was really breached, he and his hundreds of thousands of troops would be surrounded by the Qin army. What's more terrifying is that if the capital was really breached by the Qin army, they would become a tree without roots and would not be able to compete with the Qin State.

Their king?

Their Lord?
What is the situation now?
They don't know any of this.

"General."

"Did something really happen in Daliang?" asked a deputy general worriedly.

"With Your Majesty here, our capital is like an iron barrel, and it will never be breached by the Qin army."

"This may be a Qin army coming to test us."

After thinking for a moment, Pang Wu said with certainty.

Perhaps there was also the idea of ​​giving himself courage.

of course.

He also trusts Wei Wuji very much.

He was also present when Wei Wuji ordered the repair of the city. The defense was so great and the city walls were so thick that they could not be broken by human power.

And this time!
The Qin army on the city wall moved.

He saw a Qin cavalryman galloping towards his city, seeming to be holding something in his hand.

"General."

"What does this Qin soldier want to do?"

"Do you want to shoot the arrow?"

The Wei general on the side asked.

The archers on the city wall were also watching with eager eyes, aiming their bows and arrows at the Qin cavalry galloping down below.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to take action."

Pang Wu waved his hand to stop the surrounding soldiers.

And his eyes were fixed on the city below.

When the Qin cavalry approached the city.

It was Zhao Feng’s personal guard commander, Zhang Ming.

"I don't know."

"Where is General Pang Wu of Wei?" Zhang Ming raised his head and shouted towards the top of the city wall.

"I am."

Pang Wu frowned and said.

Looking at the Qin cavalry in front of him, Pang Wu also felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"I am the commander of the personal guards under the command of General Zhao Feng of the Great Qin."

"I am sending something to General Pang Wu on the orders of the general."

Zhang Ming laughed.

He simply raised his hand and threw the royal edict written by the King of Wei himself onto the city wall.

"Be careful, General."

The surrounding Wei generals were horrified.

But this royal edict fell easily in front of Pang Wu.

"Go back."

Pang Wu shouted coldly.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, but he picked up the royal edict on the ground.

"The imperial edict of our Great Wei."

Looking at the style of the royal edict, he, as the general of the Wei State, naturally recognized it at a glance.

With a sense of uneasiness.

General Pang Wu slowly opened the royal edict.

into the eye.

Pang Wu's face turned pale in an instant, and then he slammed Wang Zhao shut.

"Asshole."

"You actually resorted to such a despicable trick to forge the edict of the King of Wei."

After closing the royal edict, Pang Wu angrily scolded Zhang Ming with a cold face.

"If even your Wei Kingdom's Royal Edict could be forged, then your Wei Kingdom would have perished long ago."

"This was written by the king of your Wei State, and it is stamped with the royal seal of your Wei State."

"Your Wei State is dead."

"Your capital has been conquered by our Great Qin, and your king has surrendered." "General Pang Wu."

"It was a pointless sacrifice."

Zhang Ming said earnestly.

The words fell.

Pang Wu's expression changed.

The faces of the many Wei generals and soldiers around him all turned pale.

"impossible."

"The king is in charge of the capital, and there are nearly 400,000 soldiers from the Wei Dynasty. Even if your Qin army is strong, it is impossible to break through in just one month."

"You are definitely deceiving us."

"We are not that stupid."

"The capital is solid and will never be breached by your Qin army."

"Your Majesty is very strategic, and it is even more impossible for him to lose..."

Pang Wu hasn't spoken yet.

The Wei generals around him started arguing, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Your Lord has passed away."

"Most of the hundreds of thousands of troops you had stationed in the Wei capital have already perished."

"Your Daliang City is no longer there." Zhang Ming said again in a deep voice.

"impossible."

"In one month, even if every member of your Qin army has the power to fight ten enemies at once, you will definitely not be able to capture the city in one month."

"The city of Daliang cannot be opened by human power." A Wei general still shouted in disbelief.

"If I tell you."

"It was not human power that conquered your capital, but the power of heaven and earth?" Zhang Ming sneered.

Followed.

Zhang Ming took a sword from the horse's back.

He just picked it up and threw it towards the city wall.

The sharp sword cut through the void.

There was a pop.

The sword tip pierced through the ground directly, penetrated into it, and stood on the ground on the city wall.

When I saw this sword.

Pang Wu's body was trembling, and a feeling of powerlessness surged all over his body.

Just a glance.

He recognized it naturally.

This is Wei Wuji's sword, and it is also a magical weapon passed down from his time as a royal family of the Wei Kingdom.

If you can't even recognize this, you'd be unworthy of being a general of the Wei Dynasty.

"Sir... is it really already?"

See this sword.

No matter how much Pang Wu couldn't believe it, a pale look appeared on his face at this moment.

"Before his death, your Lord challenged my General to a duel."

"Before inviting the battle, he said that all the Wei troops would be sacrificed in vain."

"Come here today."

"I am also following the orders of the general, and holding the edict of your King Wei, ordering you to lead your army to surrender."

"This is also a consideration for the friendship of the Chinese people, to prevent these hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers and civilians from being slaughtered again."

Zhang Ming spoke loudly to Pang Wu.

The time has naturally come right now, so we must strike while the iron is hot.

Hear this.

Confirmed the death of Wei Wuji.

Pang Wu seemed to have lost his last bit of strength. His body was shaking and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, at the last moment, Pang Wu held onto the city wall and managed to hold on without falling.

"What happened to your Majesty's body?" Pang Wu asked with a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, General Pang."

"For a loyal and righteous king, my general will not treat him badly."

"The general has buried Lord Xinling's body in the Daliangshan Palace so that he can always see the former homeland of the Wei Kingdom." Zhang Ming replied immediately.

Wei Wuji enjoyed a very high prestige in the State of Wei.

If his body was destroyed, it would be difficult for the Wei army to surrender.

of course.

Zhao Feng would not allow others to humiliate Wei Wuji, a loyal and righteous man.

Even if we are enemies.

Wei Wuji is also worthy of admiration.

"I don't know where General Zhao Feng is?" Pang Wu asked again.

"My general is right behind us." Zhang Ming did not hide anything.

"Ugh."

Pang Wu sighed.

Turned.

Looking at the Wei soldiers on the city wall, they were all living people. Many of them were originally ordinary farmers, but they were forcibly conscripted.

And now.

Their life and death is in their own hands.

"Your Majesty."

"A pointless sacrifice?"

"What kind of situation made you say this?"

“This sentence.”

"You said this when I left the capital." Pang Wu sighed in his heart.

If Zhang Ming had not said the words "meaningless sacrifice", perhaps Pang Wu would still have had hope for Wei Du.

But it is exactly these four words.

Pang Wu had to believe it.

Because when the Qin Dynasty first started its military campaign, Wei Wuji once said that if one day, his Wei State really could not hold on, if one day he, Wei Wuji, died in battle.

If you can't bear it.

He would just say four words: meaningless sacrifice.

After hearing these four words, Pang Wu surrendered without thinking too much.

"Please tell the general about this."

"Pang Wu wants to see General Zhao Feng."

Pang Wu sighed and said with determination.

"The general is behind, waiting for you at any time."

Zhang Ming said something to Pang Wu, then turned around and rode away.

Looking at Zhang Ming's figure.

Pang Wu turned his head and said in a weak voice: "Open the city gate."

"General."

"Are we really going to surrender?"

Several Wei generals looked on with slightly changed expressions.

"The capital has been breached."

"The Lord has fallen."

"Our army has been surrounded by the Qin army. What else can we do if we don't surrender?"

"Do we really want to take these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die?" Pang Wu said with a wry smile.

"But General."

"Is this a trick of the Qin army? Is there a trick?"

"This sword might have been forged by the Qin army for your Majesty."

"Maybe the capital city wasn't breached at all, and the Qin army was just trying to scare us?"

A Wei general said with doubt.

Others also nodded.

They really couldn't believe that the capital was captured in just one month.

"A meaningless sacrifice."

"Your Majesty told me in secret."

"Your Majesty once said."

"If I heard these four words, I would surrender."

"Do you think that I, Pang Wu, am really a coward who is afraid of death?" Pang Wu said with a helpless smile.

Hear this.

Everyone shut up.

Followed.

The city gate opens.

Pang Wu staggered towards the outside of the city.

Behind him were a group of generals in the city.

When they arrived in front of the Royal Guards.

I saw Zhao Feng at first glance.

"Wei Guo Pang Wu."

"I wish to surrender."

After arriving, Pang Wu knelt in front of Zhao Feng without any hesitation.

Seeing Pang Wu being so tactful, a smile appeared on Zhao Feng's cold face.

Battle of Wei!

Perhaps it can be finalized within a month.

"The Wei Kingdom is destroyed."

"Next, it depends on how the King of Qin rewards me."

"At least he can be promoted to a higher rank."

"The road to national rank has also become more secure."

Zhao Feng thought secretly in his heart.

At this level of official rank, the only higher position than this is the national lieutenant.

If we use the words of many later dynasties, he would be the generalissimo of a country's army and the undisputed number one military official.

It's just that the resistance at this position is too great.

It requires many military achievements that can suppress all voices.

And qualifications.

As for the title.

Zhao Feng already had a fifteenth-level title, second only to his father-in-law Wang Jian in the court. However, after this battle, Zhao Feng's title would be on par with that of his father-in-law.

of course.

Huan Yi might also be promoted to a higher rank.

But if you think about it carefully, if Huan Yi can also be promoted one level, then Zhao Feng still has the possibility of being promoted two levels.

It all depends on what the King of Qin does.

Next.

All Zhao Feng had to do was to dispatch troops to deal with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Daliang City.

If we are not careful, a major epidemic may occur, which would be a big deal.

Time flies!
Xianyang City!
"Good news."

"Wei State won a great victory."

"A great victory at Wu'an Camp."

"Get out of the way, everyone."

"Great victory..."

A fast rider rushed into the city from outside Xianyang.
