Chapter 349: Broken Letter Valley
In a month, Lin Xiangru lived up to expectations, and invited the monarchs of Chu, Qi, Yan, Yue, Han, Wei, or the crown prince, and even Zhou Tianzi to watch the play in front of Hangu Pass.
Zhao Xing stood in front of Hangu Pass, set up a grand banquet, a huge band, bells and drums sounded in unison, silk and bamboo wind music melodious, singing and dancing incomparably beautiful, the guests who were invited to see were absent-minded, and the Qin army on Hangu Pass was confused.
Zhao Xing picked up the wine glass, toasted the Son of Heaven according to the Zhou etiquette, and then drank with the guests, from behind him, he picked up a big horn made of iron sheets, and shouted at the Qin army on Hangu Pass.
"I don't care if the Qin people are tyrannical or not, I just use the fastest speed to quell the chaos in the world, once again unify the whole world, and re-establish the rules, this is my responsibility."
When the spectators heard that Zhao Xing said his ambition in front of Zhou Tianzi without concealment, they all looked at each other and opened their mouths. When Zhou Tianzi heard Zhao Xing say this, he was just expressionless and didn't say anything.
And now his heart is even more calm.
He already knew such an ending, Da Zhou surnamed Ji, even if it was completely over from today, a few years ago he was still guessing whether his great head fell into the hands of Qin, or whether it was sealed by himself himself, and he originally thought that he was the most loyal under the sword of Zhao Xing, but now the answer is already there. It is estimated that after eating this most sumptuous and glorious banquet, he will die in the Yellow Spring.
Squinting at Zhao Xing, who was performing hard there, Zhou Tianzi now began to guess another question, that is, how he died. is his most loyal courtier, is it a decent gift of a glass of poisoned wine, or a white silk. But he took great pains to invite the important representatives of the princes of the world here, and most likely was to personally raise his sword and cut off his own head, in order to prove the end of an era and the birth of a new emperor.
After listening to this, the generals of the Qin army on Hangu Pass replied loudly: "If you want to unify the world, we old Qin people will never agree, the deer in the world are fat, and it is also what our powerful Qin State thinks, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer in the end." Of course, that's all for later, now you better break my Hangu Pass first. But if Tang Hou wants us Qin people to surrender, it is wishful thinking, I solemnly tell you, only the Qin people who died in battle, and there are no cowards who surrendered. ”
Zhao Xing laughed: "Today I declare to you that I do not accept your surrender. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the city, and everyone really didn't understand, which play was Zhao Xing singing?
"I originally wanted to take Hangu Pass in half a day, but I have the virtue of a good life and don't want to do that measure to destroy human nature, so I can only take one day to take Hangu Pass."
Hearing Zhao Xing's announcement, there was an uproar again in the city, and the soldiers who were watching the play and about to launch an attack shook their heads, especially Zhao Haoxin's bad voice, this cowhide was blown, so he hurriedly came out to relieve the siege: "Everyone, my lord is drunk, but it's just a matter of drinking, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." ”
Zhao Xingyi pulled him: "You stand aside for me." Then he said again to Qin Jun, who was laughing at the city: "I still say the same thing, I am a benevolent person, and I am not good at killing, even if it is an enemy." Therefore I beg you to go down to the city now. ”
The spectators behind him were all amused by Zhao Xing's innocence, and Qin Jun scolded back: "Do you want to persuade us to retreat to the city with just a few words, and then you rely on such a stupid method to win the world's Xiongguan?" ”
Zhao Xing immediately replied: "Now in front of Zhou Tianzi and in front of the seven princes in the world, I promise you that even if there is only one cat on the head of the city, I will not launch any soldiers to climb the city." ”
This made everyone inexplicable again, if you don't send soldiers to climb the city, how can you attack Xiahangu Pass?
Just when everyone was confused, Zhao Xing announced, "The infantry of the Tang Dynasty returned to the camp to rest, and the Poxi army stepped forward." ”
Just when everyone looked at each other, the Tang Army, which had been neatly arrayed, really lined up neatly and retreated to the barracks, laid down their weapons, untied their armor, and sat cross-legged to watch the battle.
However, just behind the camp of the Tang Army, there was a dull rumbling sound, and at this time everyone saw that a vigorous ox, pulling one tall catapult after another, drove to the front of the pass, and just in front of the Hangu Pass, a forest of catapults was opened.
The 500 carts that drove to the front of the gate were opened by the soldiers, and what was displayed in front of the people was stacks of ceramic jars, and on some of the carriages were square bags tied with linen cloth one after another.
The styling walked back to the front of the table, and said proudly to the audience present: "I hope that through this battle, I can let the people of the world know my determination to unify the world, and at the same time, I also want you to understand that no one can stop my steps to unify the world, and whoever wants to stop my progress will be self-defeating." At the same time, I took a Hangu Pass like this, to kill chickens and monkeys, in order to kill fewer people in the future, this is what I am going to do now, I will order now, I will raze the Xiongguan in front of me, I will use this fact to tell the world, there is no strong city in the world, tell all those who resist me, resist me is to find death. ”
What Zhao Xing said was so categorical that people couldn't have the slightest idea of refuting it.
Everyone can only wait quietly for his methods to be revealed.
Zhao Xing said lightly: "Now that the show has begun, please watch carefully and be ready for applause." Then he turned around and ordered Lin Hu, who ran over to receive the order: "According to the widow's arrangement, let's start." ”
Lin Hu answered the order loudly, climbed onto the tall command platform, and waved the red flag: "Catapult, prepare for the fire oil bomb—"
The catapult built by the Baiji Palace was efficiently and quickly loaded.
Lin Hu waved the red flag: "Put-"
Five or six hundred catapults, waving their long arms, let out an earth-shattering roar, and five or six hundred fire oil bombs flew towards Hangu Pass like crows, with the devil's scream.
The clay pot smashed into the bluestone wall and cracked, the fire oil containing honey was smeared all over the wall, and the bed crossbow immediately launched countless rockets, igniting the fire oil, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Hangu Pass became a huge wall of fire, and its fire was so fierce that even the spectators who were far away from the wall felt the hot wind blowing on their faces, and their scorching cheeks hurt.
The fire was extinguished, and everyone saw that the bluestone on the wall seemed to be red.
At this time, the cyan flag in Lin Hu's hand waved again: "Cold water irrigation."
With an order, countless canisters of cold water flew out again and smashed on the already red-hot city walls.
Burning a fire doesn't make people really afraid, but this fire, it's really too strange, that Hangu Pass is completely built of bluestone, but on this bluestone, there is a blue demonic flame burning, how can this not make people feel desperate fear?
Everyone who watched the battle dropped their wine glasses in surprise: "Is Zhao Xing really an immortal?" Did he really attract the divine fire of the Heavenly Soldiers? Everyone was surprised and asked, and this can only be explained by this strange situation.
When everyone was frightened, everyone saw one after another jugs, smashed into the solid bluestone fortress, with a thrilling sound of stone cracking, the stone that had been burned red, suddenly drenched by cold water, immediately turned into powder, in front of everyone, the Hangu Pass, which was considered to be impregnable, collapsed in a blink of an eye.
Solid for a year, now it's a joke.
Everyone who watched the play really felt powerless now, Zhao Xing, what kind of strong demon is this.
Facing the Hangu Pass, which collapsed into a piece of powder, Zhao Xingyi muttered: "I thought it would take a day, but I didn't expect it to be just three rounds, and it was boring to be tight." ”
The Hangu Pass has been broken, the Qin State has no barrier, and the fall of the Qin State is already doomed.
