Chapter 144 Zhao Feng’s Cruelty!
Listen to Yan Dan's words.
Le Cheng was speechless, and his heart was filled with a kind of gloom: "Prince, he is too stubborn and thinks everything is too good. He thinks everything is as he thought and expected."
"Pass this order from the Crown Prince."
"Close the city gate and prepare for battle."
"I would like to see if Zhao Feng really has the guts to attack and provoke a dispute between Yan and Qin." Yan Dan snorted coldly and shouted immediately.
Suddenly.
The city gate is closed.
The Yan troops in the city also boarded the towers one after another in a defensive posture.
It didn't take long.
In front of this small city, 20,000 Qin troops gathered and came.
"The Qin army is really here."
Le Cheng's expression became extremely solemn.
Yan Dan is stupid and self-righteous.
But Le Cheng knew that the Qin army was powerful.
Or maybe he knew how powerful the Zhao army was. At first, the Zhao army attacked his Yan country. Facing the Zhao army's offensive, his Yan country was unable to resist and could only retreat blindly. If Qin had not joined the war, he would have The Yan State may have perished and was destroyed by the Zhao State.
"Qin Army."
"I don't believe you dare to attack." Yan Dan stared at the front of the city and said coldly.
Formation in front of the city.
Zhao Feng rode a horse and stood in front of the formation.
Behind him are Tu Sui, and the three generals Wei Quan and Liu Wang.
Knowing that the Yan army was here, Zhao Feng mobilized 20,000 troops to gather here to deal with the Yan army.
Although the Yan army claimed to have come with 100,000 troops.
But their forces have been dispersed, and there are not many Yan troops in this city.
Twenty thousand Ruisi is enough!
"General."
"This city has been occupied by the Yan army. Those who were sent back should have conveyed the wishes of the Qin Dynasty, but they have closed the city gate and are obviously not ready to leave." Tu Sui glanced at the city and turned around Facing Zhao Fengdao.
Zhao Feng said nothing.
But stretched out his hand.
Zhang Ming, who was beside him, immediately picked up an arrow and handed it to Zhao Feng respectfully.
There is also a small piece of cloth tied to the arrow.
"Last warning."
"If they don't retreat, then attack." Zhao Feng said coldly.
Then he rode forward.
It was less than a hundred feet away from the front of the city.
Zhao Feng picked up the black iron bow and bent it to set an arrow.
A hissing sound.
Sharp arrows shot out of the air and towards the tower.
Just for a moment.
Bang!
This arrow nailed hard to the wall behind the tower.
"Is this still a human being?"
When the Yan army on the tower saw this, they all looked at it in shock.
They were nearly a hundred feet apart, yet they actually shot arrows from such a long distance.
Le Cheng hurriedly walked over to take a look.
I saw this arrow penetrate deeply into the wall, and cracks appeared on the wall, which shows how powerful this arrow is.
"Prince."
"General."
"There is a letter on this arrow."
A Yan general who came forward shouted.
"Take it off." Le Cheng ordered immediately.
"promise."
General Yan immediately stepped forward and tried to remove the arrow, but no matter how hard he tried, the arrow was nailed into the wall and remained motionless. He was shocked and gave up on taking the arrow. Instead, he took off the cloth on the arrow, and then respectfully Passed it to Yan Dan.
Yan Dan took it and opened it, a livid angry look appeared on his face immediately.
"You are so brave, you dare to threaten this prince." Yan Dan said with an angry look.
Le Cheng took a closer look.
There is only one sentence written on the cloth.
"After half a stick of incense, our army attacks. If the Yan army dares to counterattack, our army will kill them without mercy! If they withdraw immediately, they can be forgiven!"
Seeing this, Le Cheng immediately said: "Prince, this Qin general Zhao Feng is serious. If we don't withdraw our troops, he will really attack."
"Before we mobilized our troops, Your Majesty told us not to conflict with the Qin army."
Mention King Yan.
Yan Dan's heart sank, but he saw that there were only 20,000 troops in front of the city, which was less than the 30,000 to 40,000 troops in his city, and the city had already been captured by him.
Yan Dan was naturally very unwilling in his heart.
At this moment, his mentality was the same as that of Zhao Yan, who had insisted not to withdraw his troops from Yan State. He finally had the opportunity to prove himself, how could he let it go.
"These cities were obtained by the hard work of our Great Yan soldiers. This is my Great Yan's territory, how can we give it away?" Yan Dan said coldly.
I have to say.
This Yan Dan's face is indeed thick-skinned. Did he get it through the hard work of the Yan army?
What about the warriors of Great Qin who fought bloody battles in front of Handan City?
but.
After all, the history books are written by the victors.
"General."
"Prepare for war."
"If Zhao Feng really dares to attack, let's see if he has the ability." Yan Dan shouted coldly.
Le Cheng's expression changed greatly: "Prince, do you really want to go to war with the Qin army?"
"This is not a war, but the Qin army took the initiative to attack. The fault lies with Qin, not with me, Dayan." Yan Dan still looked stubborn.
"how?"
"Aren't you going to carry out this prince's order, general?" Yan Dan looked at Le Cheng with a cold face.
Yan Dan looked down upon this general who had betrayed Yan and surrendered to Zhao from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Yan had no generals available, he would never have been able to become a general again.
"The prince must think clearly about this matter."
"If we really go to war with the Qin army, the prince will be responsible for all the consequences."
See this.
Le Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and said to Yan Dan.
Fighting the Qin army is a big responsibility, and Le Cheng doesn't want to be Yan Dan's scapegoat.
"Everything is borne by this prince."
"But the credit for repelling the Qin army has nothing to do with the general." Yan Dan said with a cold face.
Looking at the Qin army of only 20,000 in front of the city, Yan Dan was very confident.
"Zhao Feng is not a simple person. If he were simple, Lian Po, Wei Wuji, Pang Nuan and others would not have been defeated by Zhao Feng, and even two of them died. The prince should face it well."
"This battle, everything is left to the prince."
"I will take my leave." Le Cheng waved to Yan Dan, turned around and left, and went down the tower.
Looking at Le Cheng's back, Yan Dan's eyes were full of coldness: "If it weren't for the fact that my father had no one to use, I should have killed you when you came back."
"Wait."
"When this prince succeeds to the throne in the future, the first thing I will do is to kill you, a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Thinking back.
Yan Dan was not afraid either.
He immediately shouted: "Soldiers, this city was won by your hard work. This city has become the territory of our Great Yan. Now the Qin army is coming to attack, intending to take the victory from us. Are you willing?"
Faced with this voice.
The Yan army soldiers on the tower looked at each other.
Hearing Yan Dan's words, they just felt a little disappointed.
Because since they entered Zhao State, they didn't encounter many Zhao soldiers at all. Even those they met fled and surrendered directly.
Their 100,000-strong army can be said to have marched straight in without encountering any obstacles at all.
In this case.
Even ordinary soldiers understood that all the Zhao army was scared by the Qin army, and they came here to pick up the leaks.
"What?"
"Are you afraid?"
Seeing that the Yan army on the tower was silent, Yan Dan shouted angrily.
At this time!
Yan Dan's confidants immediately raised their weapons and shouted: "We will defend the territory of Great Yan to the death, and we will defend the city of Great Yan to the death."
Under the instigation of these generals, sparse shouts were heard on the tower.
However, from this moment, their morale was not high.
I think so.
They were originally scared by the Zhao army and almost lost their country. Now they are naturally very afraid of the Qin army that will destroy Zhao.
At this moment.
Listening to the shouting in the city.
Zhao Feng frowned, and then raised the Overlord Spear in his hand.
"Great Qin Sharp Soldiers!"
As the Overlord Spear was raised high.
Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
"Wind, wind, wind."
The 20,000 sharp soldiers had little manpower, but the sound of the wind shout was like thunder, sweeping the void.
The monstrous killing intent also rolled towards the city.
It was just a comparison.
You can know the strength of the army's morale.
"Is this the Qin army?"
"What a terrible murderous aura."
At this moment, even Yan Dan felt the silent murderous aura in the void when he heard the thunderous roar, which made him feel a little nervous.
He was like this.
The Yan army on the tower was even more so.
"The Zhao army was so strong, and the Qin army defeated the Zhao army."
"They look stronger than the Zhao army."
"Our army can't be the opponent of the Qin army."
"What should we do?"
...
Many Yan soldiers on the tower were already panicking.
If the Yan army had morale before the attack by the Zhao army, they had no morale at all after they almost lost their country.
"In the past, Zhao attacked Yan, and Yan asked for help from our Qin. Our Qin, upholding justice, sent troops to attack Zhao and save Yan."
"Because of our Qin, Yan survived."
"But now, Yan is ungrateful and does not think of repaying our Qin, but instead seizes the fruits of our Qin's victory."
"This is intolerable."
"All the elite soldiers listen to my order."
"Follow me to break the city."
"After the city is broken, no surrendered soldiers will be left."
"Kill without mercy."
Zhao Feng raised the Overlord Spear and shouted angrily.
Then he rushed out on horseback.
The six hundred guards behind him followed closely, all of them were cavalry.
There was no need for Zhao Feng to pay too much attention to breaking such a small city.
He had received intelligence that the Yan army was a light army, without many defensive weapons, and the city in front of him was just a small city, not high, and the gates were not strong.
After the cavalry rushed out,
Tu Sui drew his sword and shouted: "Attack!"
"Great Qin warriors, attack!"
Twenty thousand warriors roared, dispersed into various formations, and attacked
"This Zhao Feng is looking for death."
"He actually attacked the city with cavalry?"
Looking at the less than a thousand cavalrymen who were rushing in front of the city, Yan Dan was stunned, and then sneered: "It seems that this Zhao Feng is just a name."
"This boy is praised by the Qin State as a rising general comparable to Bai Qi. If we capture him today, we may be able to use his life to negotiate with the Qin State."
Thinking of this.
Yan Dan immediately ordered: "Archers, prepare, shoot immediately when the Qin army approaches."
"The territory of Great Yan must not be lost."
Under Yan Dan's order.
The Yan army on the tower was also mobilized immediately, and the archers faced the city.
Just wait for the Qin army to approach.
Yes!
Zhao Feng and the six hundred guards behind him were not afraid at all.
Still riding horses and rushing to the city.
"Shoot!"
Yan Dan drew his sword and shouted violently.
Arrows were fired from the tower.
Zhao Feng galloped on his horse, wielding the Overlord Spear in his hand, and rain of arrows were swept down by the spear.
The guards behind him also waved their spears, sweeping down the rain of arrows.
All of Zhao Feng's personal guards have martial arts skills, and must be above the fourth level of the acquired realm. They are so scattered here that these random arrows do not cause much damage.
Compared with the Zhao army's defense in Handan, the sparse rain of arrows from the Yan army is just a drop in the bucket.
Zhao Feng had to treat that kind of rain of arrows with caution, but there was no need to treat it now.
In just a blink of an eye.
Zhao Feng rushed to the city gate.
"Break!"
The Overlord Spear is also a magical weapon of the Xuan level, at least it can be called a magical weapon in this mortal world.
He struck at the city gate and killed Xia.
Powerful true energy was added to it.
An invisible spear light shot out, with a very terrible destructive power.
Boom!
The city gate shattered with a sound.
The Yan army inside panicked instantly.
"Kill!"
Zhao Feng rushed into the city.
The Overlord Spear waved, and instantly killed several Yan soldiers in front of him, and rushed into the city with a move of his horse.
The guards behind him did not have any surprises. They quickly gathered and followed their master into the city.
As the guards joined the battle, it was a one-sided massacre.
These Yan soldiers who had lost their morale were like lambs to be slaughtered, and their lives were harvested crazily by the guards.
"The city gate has been broken."
"Follow the general."
"Kill."
Tu Sui shouted loudly and followed closely.
The 20,000 elite soldiers behind him also rushed crazily.
"Impossible."
"Is this impossible?"
"How did he break the city?"
Yan Dan on the tower panicked.
This was completely different from the defensive battle he imagined.
That Zhao Feng broke the city in an instant after approaching the city gate?
How did he do this?
Facing Zhao Feng leading his army to charge, the scattered defense of the Yan army was instantly torn apart in just a moment of breaking the city.
"The Qin army is a monster."
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
"The city gate was directly cut open by the Qin general."
"Monster... Monster..."
The Yan army in the city was immediately frightened and fled in panic.
"Yan army."
"Don't leave any."
Zhao Feng shouted coldly.
He killed the Yan army madly.
"Kill one Yan soldier and pick up 1 point of strength."
"Kill one Yan soldier and pick up 1 day of life..."
Attributes are constantly picked up.
The guards and sharp soldiers behind him also killed the enemy madly, sweeping the small city.
"Prince."
"The Qin army broke the city."
"It can't be defended."
"Report, report to the prince, the city gate has been lost."
"Report...The Qin army has occupied the city, we can't escape..."
The Yan soldiers and generals hurriedly reported to Yan Dan.
But the report at this moment was too late for Yan Dan and the Yan army.
How could they have thought that it would be like this in less than half an hour between the start of the war and the defeat.
"How can the Qin army be so powerful?"
"How can my soldiers of Great Yan be so vulnerable in front of them?"
At this moment, Yan Dan was also panicked, and fear appeared on his face.
Half an hour of self-righteousness and high spirits became a joke.
"Kill, kill..."
"Leave no one of the Yan army alive."
"Kill..."
Bursts of shouts and killings came from the stairs of various parts of the tower.
Countless black-armored warriors had rushed to the top of the tower, looking at those Yan soldiers as if they were prey, rushing and killing frantically, and each warrior was blood-thirsty.
For all the warriors, these Yan soldiers were military merits, merits for promotion and advancement.
This is also the root of the Great Qin warriors' fearlessness of death.
Fight for Great Qin, fight for themselves, and fight for their families.
Soon.
Thousands of Yan soldiers on the tower were killed, leaving only a few hundred people, and they all surrounded Yan Dan, looking at the Qin army coming from all sides in horror.
"Stop."
"This prince is Yan Dan, the prince of Great Yan."
"Let Zhao Feng come to see this prince."
Seeing this.
Yan Dan could no longer bear it, walked out of the Yan army and shouted loudly.
Hearing Yan Dan's self-exposure.
The surrounding sharp soldiers stopped attacking, but each of them was full of greed, staring at Yan Dan, but at this moment, no one seemed to dare to take action first.
It seemed that they were afraid of tearing Yan Dan into pieces.
"Except Yan Dan."
"Kill the rest."
"Capture Yan Dan, and you will be promoted one level, and one level of rank."
At this time.
Zhao Feng's voice sounded on the tower.
As for Yan Dan, Zhao Feng naturally did not intend to kill him, and Ying Zheng also specifically explained that Yan Dan must not be killed. If he was killed, it would not be a good thing for Qin, and keeping his life would be useful.
After all, in Ying Zheng's view.
It is a good thing for Qin that Yan has such a stupid prince.
Moreover.
This may also be the last time Ying Zheng took into account the friendship when he was young.
"Zhao Feng, how dare you."
"We have an alliance with Qin."
Yan Dan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted at Zhao Feng.
But no one paid any attention to him.
"Kill."
"Kill..."
The surrounding warriors rushed up and strangled the remaining Yan army on the tower.
It didn't take much time at all.
The Yan army on the tower was strangled to death, and the entire tower was full of corpses.
Even Yan Dan was captured by two warriors at this moment.
"Zhao Feng."
"How dare you?"
"How dare you?"
Yan Dan looked at Zhao Feng with a distorted face.
"I have already given you a chance."
"Yan Dan, the prince of Yan."
"Stop your so-called naivety. This is war, a war to the death." Zhao Feng walked slowly to Yan Dan and said coldly.
"Kill me if you can." Yan Dan roared.
For him.
This defeat was a severe slap in his face. He wanted to expand his territory and prove himself through this battle, but just this battle ruined all his thoughts.
Thinking of facing his father and even Ying Zheng in the future.
Yan Dan felt that it would be better to die.
"After all, you are the prince of a country."
"How will I explain to the king if I kill you?" Zhao Feng smiled lightly.
"General."
"Many Yan troops in the city have surrendered. Do you want to accept them?" Tu Sui walked over quickly.
"What did the general's letter of war say?" Zhao Feng turned his head and frowned.
"No surrendered soldiers will be accepted, no one will be spared." Tu Sui immediately replied.
"Then what are you asking?" Zhao Feng said coldly.
"You will finally understand." Tu Sui immediately retreated.
"Zhao Feng."
"How dare you be so cruel?"
"They have already surrendered, why do you still want to kill them all?" Yan Dan asked angrily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's your choice."
"The general said so."
"As long as you don't leave, I, the Qin Dynasty, will regard you as an enemy. No matter what you do to the enemy, it will not be your turn to do anything to the prince of the enemy country."
"Take it down."
"Tightly guarded."
"Pursue the Yan army and do not surrender until they are driven out of Zhao."
"As for Yan Dan, please report to Xianyang as soon as possible to see how the king will deal with him." Zhao Feng said solemnly.
"promise."
Zhang Ming, who was beside him, immediately took orders.
——
Yan State, Jicheng!
"What did you say?"
"Yan Dan was captured by Qin general Zhao Feng? My 100,000-strong army escaped with less than 60,000?"
"Didn't I say not to fight the Qin army? Why is this happening?"
In the Chaoyi Hall, after hearing the news about Zhao Jingyan's army, King Yan's expression suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty."
"General Lecheng reported that the Qin army issued a letter of war twice, asking the prince to withdraw his troops and leave. The Qin army can leave with a larger army and everything will be safe."
"But the prince didn't listen at all and insisted on occupying those cities of Zhao State. In the end, Qin general Zhao Feng was angry and sent troops to attack the city where the prince was located and captured the prince."
"This is all because the prince has his own way."
A military official stood up and started speaking with a helpless expression.
Hear this.
Yan Wangxi's face became even colder, and his old face was trembling with anger.
"Asshole."
"The traitor."
"I have long said that if the Qin army comes, you must not fight with the Qin army, but this traitor dares to disobey me and dare to fight with the Qin army."
"Asshole!"
Yan Wangxi roared angrily.
now.
He was furious.
Qin!
This is a country more powerful than Zhao.
As far as the Yan State was concerned, the Qin State was kind to them. It was ungrateful for them to send troops to seize the city. Originally, King Yan was willing to gamble to see if the Qin State would not be angry because of this, but he obviously lost the bet.
Therefore, he had already told him not to take action when encountering the Qin army and to retreat immediately.
But he didn't expect his son to be so reckless.
"Your Majesty."
"Now the deal is done."
"His Royal Highness was captured by the Qin army."
"What should I do next, Dayan?"
A minister of Yan State spoke.
"What else?"
"What else can I do?"
"Is it possible to use troops against the Qin State to intimidate the Qin State into demanding people?"
"It would be best if that damn traitor died."
"If he had died early, he wouldn't have dug such a big hole in me." King Yan said angrily.
Facing the furious King Yan.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to speak out.
"Apologise, make amends to Qin."
"As for the traitor, if Qin wants his life, let him go."
"Prime Minister, you personally go to Qin as an envoy..."
——
Time is passing gradually!
Zhao's city was gradually captured by Da Qin, and it didn't take long for it to be completely controlled.
Xianyang City!
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the State of Yan are asking for an audience outside the palace."
Wang Wan stood up and started playing loudly.
"It's finally here."
"Gu Ke has been waiting for him for a long time."
In the high position, Ying Zheng had a smile on his face.
Obviously.
The news that Yan Dan was captured and that the Yan army was severely damaged by Zhao Feng has spread to Xianyang.
now.
What Ying Zheng was waiting for was news from the Yan State. They wanted to redeem Yan Dan and appease the anger of the Qin Dynasty. It was not just as simple as sending an envoy, they had to bleed.
"Xuan!"
Ying Zheng said with authority.
"The king has an edict."
"The envoy of Xuanyan State has come to the palace to see you." Zhao Gao immediately shouted in a hissing voice.
The sound gradually spread.
I saw an old minister dressed in the official uniform of the State of Yan slowly walking into the Qin State's court meeting hall.
After entering the palace.
He knelt down directly and said: "Jingfu, the envoy of the State of Yan, comes to see the King of Qin."
Ying Zheng looked at Yan Chen below with a cold face, and said coldly: "Yan Kingdom."
"Breaking the covenant."
"How dare you snatch the meat from my Da Qin mouth."
"My Great Qin general gave the Yan State an opportunity, but you, the Yan State, didn't even appreciate it. You seize the troops and fight with me, the Great Qin."
"Gu, I'm very unhappy!"
…
