Chapter 299 The thistle is broken and the king of Yan is dead(1/2)
Thistle.
"Old Zhao, you said, what should we say when we break through Jidu, when we see King Yan?"
Lian Po put his chin on his face and looked very serious.
Zhao She: “…”
Is this time to think about it now?
Just the city wall of Jidu is still there. Can you wait until the city is broken before considering this issue?
Perhaps the expression on Zhao She's face was too obvious, Lian Po smiled and said, "Don't you think today is the day when we break through Jidu?"
Zhao She thought for a while and said, "This is quite difficult to say."
Lian Po snorted a few times and said, "Are those disciples of the Mo family talking about angles and things like stress? Look at how they are so excited about digging into the soil every day, if they don't have some ability, it's not reasonable."
Zhao She's eyes trembled for a while, and then she said in a muffled voice: "After hearing the news that the king was going to reopen the school in Handan, all the cats and dogs really came over, hey..."
Lian Po looked at Zhao She with some surprise: "Isn't your master a member of the Legal family? It seems that the Mohist school has no big grudges with your Legal family, right? If you have any objections, it should be that the Confucian school has opinions."
Zhao She raised her head and sneered: "What can Confucianism have? Now that the birthplace of Confucianism is in decline, the Confucian base Qi has been destroyed. These damn Confucians are not able to protect themselves. How can they compete with our Legalists?"
As he spoke, his face was filled with satisfaction.
Lian Po shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sometimes I really don't understand that you, these people from this family, are they all from the Great Zhao people, why do you treat each other like enemies? It seems that in order to integrate into the Great Zhao family, the Mo family has changed a lot of the classics of Mozi back then, right? I want me to tell you, you will also lead the army alone in the future. If someone knows that you, the general, will suppress this family, and that family, and are reported to the king, what will the king think of you?"
Zhao She was stunned at first, then was shocked. There was a rising sun above her head, but she suddenly felt a gust of wind.
After a long time, Zhao She restrained her expression and bowed to Lian Po seriously: "The general's words, Zhao She has been taught."
Lian Po stood still and received the gift from Zhao She, then laughed and said, "Actually, someone asked me to tell you."
Zhao She was stunned again: "Who?"
Lian Po smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you."
Zhao She: “…”
This guy still remembers what happened a few days ago and is waiting for him here.
However, Zhao She didn't care about this, because both himself and Lian Po knew that these seemingly messy conversations between the two were actually just to relieve tension.
Two days ago, the coolies of Zhao State had just successfully dug the tunnel under the city wall under the leadership of several Mohist scholars who claimed to be proficient in this area.
Of course, it is just the outermost part of the city wall. If you dig a hole from there and see a thick wall instead of entering the city.
According to the claims of those Mohist scholars, as long as you advance two feet more, you can detect the movement of digging holes in the city, and then the last few feet of tunnel distance will become a natural barrier that Zhao army will never be able to touch.
Lian Po said uneasyly: "I have been there for so long, why haven't the explosion started yet?"
Zhao She was also a little anxious, but on the surface she was still much calmer than Lian Po, and comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe they'll be here soon."
Beside the two, 50,000 Zhao soldiers were ready to go, waiting to launch a new day's attack. The drums were already rumbling, and everything seemed to be the same as usual.
Lian Po said with a hey voice, "You don't know that it will snow soon. If we fail, we will have to wait until next year!"
Zhao She shrugged and said, "Next year..."
"Boom!" A dull sound interrupted Zhao She's words.
The earth trembled violently, and a fog and fire suddenly emerged from the land at the foot of the city wall, and countless smoke and dust rose into the sky.
In the smoke and dust, a continuous, rumbling sound suddenly came, as if something had collapsed.
Lian Po was extremely nervous and slapped the handle of the chariot beside him. In front of him, the horses who were pulling the chariot were obviously startled and sniffled uneasy.
The smoke gradually dissipated.
Finally, everything reappeared in the sight of Lian Po, Zhao She, and the 50,000 Zhao soldiers.
At the corner of the southwest city wall of Jidu, a large number of huge rocks collapsed, forming an extremely conspicuous and huge gap.
There were still stones falling down on both sides of the gap, slapping on the ground and splashing smoke and dust.
Lian Po let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"The whole army attacked!"
Amid the roars like tsunamis, the morale of the Zhao army soldiers was greatly boosted and charged towards Jidu City in front of them.
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that after this big explosion, Jidu City was destroyed today!
It's time to do it, if you don't rush in and grab some credit earlier, you'd be a fool.
As the main general, Lian Po excitedly patted the carriage driver in front of him, and saw the smiley look that Zhao She threw in: "I remember the general seemed to have told a main general that if someone forgets his duties and comes to the front line again, he will face extremely serious consequences."
Zhao She's words poured on her head like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing all of Lian Po's enthusiasm.
Lian Po looked at the battlefield where the battle had officially begun, and sighed regretfully.
After thinking about it, Lian Po suddenly turned to look at Zhao She and asked in a tentative tone: "Or why would you try to be the chief general for the day for the time being?"
Zhao She: “…”
...
The palace city of Jidu is completely in chaos at this moment.
The King of Yan rushed out of his palace with disheveled hair and shouted, "What's going on, what's going on?"
No one could answer his question, there were shouts of killing and screams everywhere, and the few palace guards quickly surrounded him to protect the King of Yan in the middle, but that was the only role that these loyal guards could play.
At this moment, Guo Wei's figure suddenly appeared.
When the King of Yan saw Guo Wei, he immediately felt hope and said loudly: "Suang Guo, what's going on? Did the Earth Dragon turn over just now?"
The old Xiangbang of Yan State staggered to the steps, trying to speak but couldn't breathe and coughed loudly.
After a long time, Guo Wei spoke with a look of earth: "The thunder of the sky is the thunder of the people of Zhao!"
King Yan was surprised: "So much noise was actually caused by the people of Zhao's thunder?"
Although I have heard of the weapon of the Sky Thunder, it is not until today that King Yan has truly seen it.
Guo Wei reached out and pointed to the southwest, showing a slight smile: "King, the people of Zhao... have broken the city!"
The King of Yan was truly shocked this time.
He twisted his neck stiffly, slowly turned his body 180 degrees, and looked in the direction of Guo Wei's finger.
There, a huge, shocking gap suddenly appeared, and a bright red flag surrounded by countless Zhao soldiers, quickly following the gap into Jidu City!
At this moment, the King of Yan felt like he fell into an ice cave.
Zhao Jun really entered the city.
Even though he had faced such a scene countless times in a nightmare, when this kind of thing really happened in front of him, King Yan still felt extremely at a loss. A huge sense of unreality enveloped him, making him not know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, Guo Wei still had a few slight sense left. The old prime minister of Yan State grabbed the King of Yan's hand and said, "King, Ji can no longer defend now. Please move out of the city quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Under Guo Wei's shaking forcefully, the King of Yan finally came to his senses again.
Looking at all this in front of him, King Yan showed a very bitter smile, almost no difference from crying: "Suang Guo, tell me, where else can I go now?"
The land of Du Kang is gone, Liaodong and Liaoxi are gone, and Youbeiping is dead. Where can you go?
Guo Wei was anxious and said, "King, don't worry about where you go first. Let's talk about it after leaving the city! Why are you still standing there? Come and escort the king out of the city!" The next half sentence was said to the guards who were protecting the two of them.
These palace guards of Yan State clearly listened to the conversation between the two. The chief guard immediately gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Hurry, the second and third sons follow me to protect the king!" As he said that, he was about to reach out to support the king of Yan.
"No!" The King of Yan suddenly shook off the guard's hand and said sternly: "I am the king of Yan State. This is the capital of Yan State. I will not go anywhere except Jidu! If you dare to touch me, I will kill you and other three tribes!"
Under the rage of the King of Yan, no one dared to take any action.
Guo Wei paused and said, "King, this is not the time to be willful! Let's go quickly, otherwise there will be no time!"
You can hear it with your ears alone that the sound of Zhao's shouts and the sound of weapons intersecting are approaching quickly.
King Yan looked at Guo Wei who was extremely anxious and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Perhaps I misread Su Qin, Zou Yan, and believe in Qin Kai, but at least at the last moment, I still have a loyal minister standing here and standing in front of me.
The King of Yan's face was no longer depressed, but became calmer.
He smiled.
"Suang Guo, it's all over."
Half an hour later, Lian Po and Zhao She hurried into the city.
At this moment, the war in Jidu City has not completely ended, but Lian Po, as the main general, already had enough reason to enter the city and received full support from deputy general Zhao She.
King of Yan Ji Zhi and Prime Minister of Yan Guo Wei have been blocked in a palace in the Yan State Palace City!
Soon, Lian Po and Zhao She met King Yan and Guo Wei.
In the hall, countless Zhao soldiers surrounded him. King An of Yan sat on his head, and Guo Wei sat next to him. In front of the two, there was only a disheveled Yan warrior. There were many wounds on the Yan warrior, and blood kept flowing out of it. He was shaking, but he still held the sword in his hand and made a defensive posture.
Around the three, hundreds of corpses of the guards of Yan State fell to the ground in a row, with many corpses of Zhao soldiers mixed in the middle, and the entire hall was filled with the strong smell of blood.
Seeing Lian Po and Zhao She arrive, the soldiers of the Zhao army separated a road like a tide.
Lian Po strode forward and bowed to the King of Yan: "Zhao General Lian Po has seen the King!"
