Chapter 922: Bad News Strikes!

The civil and military officials no longer spoke, and Wei Tianlan was unwilling to continue, so he simply announced his retirement from the dynasty, and when he retreated from the dynasty, he once again told the Ministry of Rites to prepare for welcoming and setting up a banquet.

At the same time, the Zhao Dynasty, the Imperial Capital of Handan, the Imperial Palace, and the Temple of Heaven!

In the Heavenly Palace, the twenty-eight princes and kings and the emperors of the nine dynasties live on the left and right sides of the hall, and no one dares to do the dragon chair on the high platform, even Zhao Dan did not sit on it, after all, everyone here is the king of a country, if you sit up, isn't it that all the kings and emperors are your courtiers?

At this time, the kings and emperors were drinking and having fun, and there were beautiful women beside them, so unhappy.

At this time, Chu Prime Minister Du Tang hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, Du Tang came recently, specially from the capital of Emperor Shouchun to match Emperor Xiong Nai of Chu, originally he was in charge of the country, after he left Shouchun, the current person in charge of the country of the Great Chu Dynasty is Xiong Qi, the crown prince of Xiong Nai.

Du Tang walked into the hall and immediately attracted the attention of the kings and emperors, only to see him bending down and walking to the side of Chu Emperor Xiong Nai, leaning into the ear of Chu Emperor Xiong Nai and whispering softly, after speaking, Du Tang bent down and retreated from the hall.

After Du Tang left the main hall, under the eyes of everyone, Chu Emperor Xiong Nai picked up a glass of wine with a smile on his face, slowly got up from his seat, and smiled at everyone with a red face: "Gentlemen, I have received the news that my Chu army has set off from the imperial capital, and I believe that it will not be long before 800,000 Chu troops will enter the Xia Manshan Pass and jointly launch the battle against Qin with Great Xia!" ”

"Haha, okay!" Xia Di Ji Zhan was the most excited, as if he saw the day of victory.

"I, Dahan, have also sent troops, and we are expected to arrive in Changmen within three months!" Han Emperor Han Shen also laughed.

Hearing this, all the kings and emperors all showed a smile of relief, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Bai, the great-grandson of Emperor Qi, Jiang Bai saw that everyone was looking at him, and couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed: "You are really sorry, Your Highness has not received the news yet, but rest assured, as a neighbor of the Qin Dynasty, my Great Qi will not react much slower than Zhao Xia!" ”

"Your Highness promises that the day I receive the news will be the time when I will send troops to the country!"

Hearing this, everyone's worried hearts were temporarily relaxed.

Zhao Dan picked up his wine glass and got up from his seat, and said to everyone with a smile: "Gentlemen, let them celebrate the victory in advance!" ”

"Good!"

"Haha!"

Everyone got up from their seats one after another with red glasses, and clinked glasses to the kings and emperors around them with a smile on their faces.

"Report!"

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

"Report!"

But just as everyone was about to drink the wine of victory, there was a burst of anxious sounds outside the hall.

Quiet!

The hall fell silent in an instant, and the sound of needles falling could be heard quietly, and every king and emperor felt uneasy, and all looked out of the hall with apprehension.

They knew very well that the coalition forces had not yet officially launched the war against Qin, so at this time there was an urgent report, eighty percent of the Qin army launched a full-scale war, and listening to the anxious voice with a sense of panic, it is not difficult to guess that the front line may be frustrated, but I don't know which pass is frustrated.

Under the anxiety of the kings and emperors, a blood-stained general of the Zhao army rushed into the palace, and before Zhao Dan could ask questions, the general of the Zhao army knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the dragon pass has been lost!" ”

Rumble!

A thunderbolt hit Zhao Dan Tianling's lid, his whole body was soft, the wine glass in his hand fell down, and with a 'snap', the wine glass shattered in response, this wine glass was like Zhao Dan's heart, at this moment, it was shattered.

The kings and emperors were also dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that the Dragon Pass, which was garrisoned by 200,000 troops, would be lost like this.

Zhao Dan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly stabilized his mind, walked to General Zhao Jun with staggering steps, stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at the latter and asked sharply: "What the hell is going on, say, what the hell is going on, what about my 200,000 army, where are my uncles!" ”

General Zhao Jun trembled with fright, his face turned pale, and he stubbornly said, "Qin.. The Qin army on the first day of May.. Chenshi, attack the Dragon Pass, two... In the end, only 10,000 cavalry of the 200,000 army escaped, and the rest either died or surrendered, and General Zhu also died... Dead..."

"Shhh

The kings and emperors gasped, and they keenly captured that the Qin army launched an offensive on May 1, and today is May 15, and the Xulong Pass is far away from the capital of the Handan Emperor, more than 1,300 li, even if this general of the Zhao army travels 100 miles a day, it will take at least ten days to rush back to the imperial capital of Handan from the Xulong Pass.

Of course, if this Zhao army general travels day and night, he can shorten the time by one or two days, but seeing that this Zhao army general has no tired look except for his pale face and full of fear, it shows that this Zhao army general did not rush back in a desperate hurry.

This is enough to show that the 200,000 Zhao army did not hold on for even five days!

Thinking of this, the kings and emperors couldn't help but wonder, wasn't the Qin army at the Dragon Gate only 50,000? 50,000 people attacked the 200,000-strong army stationed at the Dragon Pass, which couldn't hold it for even five days? Is the combat power of the Qin army so perverted?

Or is it that the Qin army secretly increased its troops?

What the kings and emperors thought, it was also what Zhao Dan thought, when he thought of this, his mentality almost collapsed, and he couldn't help but be angry, and asked loudly: "How many troops is there in the Qin army!" ”

"Five... Five..."General Zhao Jun slurped, wanted to speak and stopped, his lips trembled.

"Half a million?"

General Zhao Jun shook his head in panic, and then said softly with a weak voice: "Fifty thousand!" ”

"What!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"What a joke is this!"

All the kings and emperors were stupid and felt ridiculous.

It is not for nothing that they feel ridiculous, the Qin army has only 50,000 troops, and the Zhao army has 200,000 troops, which is four times the strength of the Qin army, and the Zhao army is the defender, and the Qin army is the attacker.

How was this battle fought?

"What the hell is going on!" Zhao Dan stared at the general Zhao Jun who was kneeling on the ground with murderous eyes, and his intuition told him that this war was definitely not as simple as he thought, and he knew the strength of the Zhao army, he might not be able to defeat the Qin army, but 200,000 could definitely block the 50,000 Qin army according to the benefits of the pass, and it was impossible to lose!

In the face of Zhao Dan's questioning and that pair of murderous eyes, General Zhao Jun didn't dare to lie, and came out like a sifting bean:

"The Qin army has a large device that can launch heavenly thunder, the power of heavenly thunder is extremely terrifying, a heavenly thunder can make dozens of people disabled, and the strong city wall becomes very fragile in front of the heavenly thunder, and in less than an hour, the dragon pass collapsed!"

ps: "The depiction of a full-scale war is a huge challenge for the author, first of all, the scene changes, the characters' emotions change, the author hopes to survive this hurdle!" ”
