Chapter 522: Le Yi Surrounds Chengdu
The red flag swept the west wind.
Outside Chengdu City.
General Le Yi of Zhao stood on the chariot, surrounded by Chen Jing and other generals of Zhao.
The 150,000 Zhao army was surging like a tide, and it occupied all the sight at first glance, with a very amazing momentum.
Le Yi asked, "Are you ready?"
Chen Jing hurriedly said, "General, you are all ready."
Le Yi nodded: "Then pass the order and fire the fire."
The drum sounded, followed by the cannon sound.
The stone bomb shot out quickly and then landed on the ground. A huge roar sounded across Chengdu City, and the earth shook, and countless dust and smoke were on the top of the city.
From Le Yi to Xiaobing, everyone was a little excited.
Everyone knows that this is the last battle on the unification of the State of Zhao.
On the Chengdu city, the black flag was covered by smoke and dust and disappeared from people's sight.
Qin Prime Minister Bang Wei Ran sat in his official office with a calm expression and gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Tell the people below that the artillery bombardment of the Zhao people will last for a long time, and there is no need to panic. After the artillery bombardment of the Zhao people stops, the craftsmen must go up and repair the city wall as soon as possible."
"Press a notice of peace in the city to keep the residents in the city safe. The attack of the people of Zhao is only temporary, and the Qin Dynasty will defend Chengdu City."
"The army must also be on standby at any time. If the Zhao army launches an attack immediately, then don't let the craftsmen come forward, and defend the Zhao army's offensive first."
...
Wei Ran's calm tone seemed to give everyone courage. Unconsciously, the panic atmosphere that was originally filled with the air seemed to gradually disappear. Everyone was taking active action and performing their own duties.
This situation continued until dusk that day, when the first day of the Zhao people's artillery was over.
A temple man from the palace appeared in front of Wei Ran: "June, the king and the queen mother asked you to go to the palace."
Wei Ran nodded and stood up.
It was not until he entered his carriage that Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay on the wooden couch covered with tiger skin.
At this moment, Wei Ran showed exhaustion.
Two quarters of an hour later, Wei Ran walked off the carriage with a calm expression and walked towards the palace in front of him.
"I've met the king, the queen mother."
King Ying Fu of Qin said impatiently: "Mr. Rang, what's the war? Will the people of Zhao break through Chengdu?"
Wei Ran was silent for a moment and said, "At least not today."
Ying Fu was obviously a little dissatisfied: "What about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?"
There is obviously fear in this dissatisfaction.
Wei Ran did not answer, not because he was unwilling to answer, but because he himself didn't know how long Chengdu City could last.
Queen Mother Xuan's cold voice came from the place where he rose to the top: "King, you have lost your composure."
Ying Fu was stunned for a moment and closed his mouth with some displeasure.
Queen Mother Xuan said: "Mr. Rang, what is the situation in the city now?"
Wei Ran said: "I have tried my best to comfort me."
Queen Mother Xuan asked again: "What about the city defense? How were the soldiers' casualties?"
Wei Ran said: "City defense has asked craftsmen to repair the places that were shelled by the Zhao people. The Zhao people did not launch a real attack, so most of the casualties were hit by the Zhao people's shells, not many."
The expression on Queen Mother Xuan's face relaxed a little, and she said, "That's good. Marquis Rang, you have worked hard too. If there is nothing else, go back and rest."
Wei Ran stood up and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother, the King. I have sued my husband."
After a while, when Wei Ran's figure disappeared from the hall, Ying Fu couldn't help but speak again: "Mother, this is the first day of the Zhao people's attack, and it was already so critical. What can you do?"
Queen Mother Xuan was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "The people of Zhao have swept across the five countries. It is a blessing that the Qin Dynasty can survive until now. Don't blame your mother's uncle Rang for too much."
Ying Fei responded muffled, and then said depressedly: "But if this continues, you won't last for many days."
Queen Mother Xuan nodded slowly and said, "Of course the old woman knows, but what can I do?"
There was a little more obvious fear in Ying Fu's words: "Mother, what should I do if the people of Zhao really break the city one day?"
Queen Mother Xuan was silent for a longer time and said lightly: "Then we will die."
"ah?"
"The king of Daqin should not surrender to anyone."
"But……"
"No, but." Queen Mother Xuan's words suddenly became harsh: "Think about your father and your brother. Since you are the king of Qin, you must take on the responsibility that a Qin king should have!"
...
The next day, the attack continued.
Le Yi looked at the Chengdu City in front of him and asked leisurely: "How many envoys who went to various places to persuade surrender have come back?"
Shen Jing said: "A lot of people have come back. Most of the city guards in Shu are willing to surrender. The terrain in Ba County is rugged and difficult to move around, and there is no reply yet."
Le Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the best. If the land of Bashu can be pacified, then we can give the king a satisfactory answer."
Shen Jing nodded and smiled, "That's right, after Chengdu is taken down, the whole world will be my Da Zhao!"
Le Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When I went from Zhongshan to Zhao people ten years ago and was appreciated and promoted by the king, I really didn't expect that I would be today."
Le Yi's words attracted everyone's unanimous agreement.
Yes, let alone ten years ago, five years or even three years ago, who could know for sure that Zhao had swept across Liuhe in just such a short time, completing this great cause that no one has accomplished for thousands of years, and truly bringing the entire China into unification?
Le Yi retracted his thoughts and said to the people around him seriously: "This is the merit of the king. Everyone, what kind of virtue is there for us? We can have such a wise king to guide us toward prosperity. This is our honor, and it is also the honor of the whole world!"
The generals nodded solemnly.
Although the war is still permeating in Chengdu City, the generals of Zhao outside the city have begun to imagine it.
What kind of grand scene should a unified world be?
The Zhao army's siege of Chengdu City lasted for a full half month.
During this half month, in addition to the continuous artillery attacks, the Zhao army also organized many infantry sieges, but they were all defeated by the Qin army.
But it didn't last long.
On the 18th day of the siege of Chengdu City, accompanied by a sudden loud noise, a large area of collapsed in the north wall of Chengdu City.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the war drums sounded, and Deputy General Shen Jing personally led an elite force to attack the breakthrough.
After nearly half an hour of back and forth bloody battles and tug-of-wars, Shen Jing finally led the vanguard of Zhao to capture the breakthrough.
The city gate was opened, and countless Zhao troops swarmed into the city amidst the trembling cheers.
