Chapter 124: The Army of Mourning
"General Meng and General Gu should have arrived in Chenggao." Saying that, Ying Zichu withdrew his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei raised his brows, looked at the chessboard with wrinkles on his forehead, and thought for a while before falling into Baizi.
"In this way, the king is not worried about Zhou Wei's moves?"
"I'm worried they're not moving." Ying Zichu said with a smile.
Lu Buwei closed his mouth, and now Yingzi Chu is more and more like Yingji back then, especially after he sat after bidding farewell to his father An Guojun.
Although he is not as good at martial arts as Yingji, his courage to attack already has an eight-point appearance.
"What do you want, my lord?"
"Ahem." Ying Zichu coughed twice.
Squinted and looked at Lu Buwei, that kind of look made Lu Buwei's heart chill.
"I want to ask Mr. Lu to lead the troops to attack Zhou."
The faint words made Lu Buwei fall into an ice cave.
hurriedly got up and bowed: "The king, I made an agreement with the king that day, and I didn't get close to the military power, and I didn't dare to lead the troops." ”
He Lu Buwei operated in the Qin State and had a lot of power in the court, but after all, Yingzi Chu was the king of Qin.
Ying Zichu had already told Lü Buwei that Lü Buwei had the grace of knowing him, and he could not move him, but Lü Buwei also needed to settle down. They are not allowed to be close to military affairs, and they are not allowed to hold military power.
Now let him lead the troops, what does it mean?
Even if Lu Buwei was scheming, in the face of life and death, he still panicked for a moment.
"If the widow asks you to take it, you can receive it." Ying Zichu didn't care, and continued to play chess on the table again.
If he had just returned to Qin that year, as soon as he took the throne, the first person to be eliminated was Lu Buwei.
Because he was uncertain, Lü Buwei had almost all of his lifeblood.
But now, what he wants to do is to reuse Lü Buwei.
Because he could see that Lü Buwei was just a businessman, and all he wanted was a lifetime of glory and wealth.
This, he can give him.
The status between the two has already changed, from the proton of Zhao Guo to the murder of his father and the theft of the king, he has already transformed into a real monarch.
"Come, Mr. Lu, play chess." Ying Zichu's chess had already fallen, and he smiled and beckoned Lu Buwei to sit down.
Lu Buwei looked at Yingzi Chu in front of him, and then he realized that he had really created a person who was beyond his control.
Sit down with your head bowed.
After a game of chess, Lü Buwei said goodbye and left the palace.
On the way out of the palace, he walked a little fast.
He regretted it a little, maybe he shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the Wang family at all.
He was perhaps the most successful businessman in the world, having successfully invested in a monarch.
···
Three days later, because the king of Qin heard that the king of Zhou intended to unite with other countries to fight against Qin, he ordered Qin Wenxin to wait for Lü Buwei to lead the army to attack Zhou.
Did the king of Zhou really plot against other countries to attack Qin?
Maybe there is, maybe not, but King Qin only needs to say that there is, this is the reason why he attacked Zhou, and there is no need for anything else.
——————————————————
The north wind howled, and at the head of Chenggao Pass, the Korean leader took a breath, condensed into a white mist in the air, and then was blown away by the cold wind.
The soldier beside him clenched the spear in his hand, his knuckles white.
The archers held the bow and arrow on their backs with one hand, and everyone stared at the slowly approaching black line not far away.
As the black line walked in, the dull footsteps and horses' hooves were like a heavy drum beating one after another, beating everyone's heartbeat.
A few sparse trees on the plain could not block people's sight, and the dense Qin army appeared there, and several towering ladder carts advanced along the army. Siege cones, covered with cowhides, with huge conical logs in the middle, are pushed by soldiers and run through the soil.
"The whole army." On top of a chariot in the Qin army, a veteran raised the long sword in his hand.
"Archers." At the head of Chenggao Pass, the leading general also glared at those Qin troops and raised the sword in his hand.
"Siege!"
"Volley!"
The two swords fell at the same time, flickering in the winter sun, opening the curtain of this fight.
"Ahh
With an earth-shattering roar, countless Qin troops began to charge the city, and the huge cloud ladder rolled forward and began to erect the city.
At the same time, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot out from above the city, so dense that it obscured the light of the sky.
In front of Chenggao Pass, there was only a frontal attack, and the plain in front was extremely narrow, and it was impossible to accommodate a large army to attack at the same time, but for the defenders, a salvo of archers of 10,000 people could almost insert arrows into this area.
There is no need to aim at all, and when the arrows rain, it is a scream.
The soldiers pushing the ladder and the stumbling were better off cover, and those with their bodies exposed could not escape the rain of arrows that barely had any gaps. One by one, they fell, and the soldiers who rushed to the front had no chance of escaping at all.
Either he was killed by an arrow, or he was shot in the hands and feet by an arrow, and fell to the ground, and before he could scream, he was drowned by a rain of arrows.
The plains, as far as the eye can see, are littered with arrows.
However, the offensive of the Qin army did not slow down at all.
One man fell to the ground, and soon a second person picked up and pushed the ladder around. Compared with the first batch of mortal death, the second batch is better, with the people in front of it as cover, and the momentum of the arrow rain is a little smaller.
But there are only a few, and the random arrows are not explained by luck at all, such a big place, a salvo will fall a whole person.
"Whoosh !!"
The sound of arrows raining down through the air.
It was already three volleys, but the ladder had not yet approached the city wall.
The rain of arrows flew high and fell towards the Qin army.
The soldier pushed the ladder with all his strength, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
By the time the arrow fell, he had closed his eyes in resignation.
"When!!"
There was a loud thud, and the soldier opened his eyes. Standing in front of him was a white-robed general, with this fierce beast engraved on the armor on his face, which was very terrifying, and he was holding a long and terrifying spear in his hand.
The spear simply swung in a gust of wind, and all the arrows that fell on him were swept aside.
The white-robed general glanced at the soldier pushing the ladder, then turned his head and waved the spear in his hand: "Trapped!" Shield Guard! ”
The white-robed general's voice was mixed with internal qi, allowing everyone to hear it clearly on this chaotic battlefield.
Among the soldiers of the Qin State, there were thousands of black-armored soldiers.
Dozens of people were in a formation, without the slightest hesitation, and quickly guarded in front of several cloud ladders, and the huge shield in his hand was directly erected.
Dozens of people are in front, dozens of people are raising their shields above.
The breath had already completed the formation directly, and several ladders were protected by rows of giant shields like chariot fortresses.
The remaining hundreds of black-armored soldiers rushed to the front of the Qin army's formation, formed a shield, and led the Qin soldiers who followed behind to quickly lean towards the city wall.
The rain of arrows fell on those bronze shields, and they could only fall to the side with a loud bang.
In an instant, the pressure of the Qin army, which was rushing to the forefront, was greatly reduced.
The ladder sped forward, and the long ladder fell, crashing into the city.
The Korean leader held his sword, his face pale, and looked at the nearly 1,000 black-armored sergeants in front of him.
and the white-robed general who was standing among the ten thousand armies under the city with a spear and looked at the city lightly.
Trap Army.
He remembered what kind of army this army was, and who the familiar white-robed general was.
Three years ago, the mourning army that crossed Zhou Wei.
