Episode 6 Soldiers are coming to Zhaodu

Wu'an City, an important town in the west of Zhao State, a fierce offensive and defensive battle was going on tragically at this time.

A few miles outside the city of Wu'an, the murderous Qin army set up a battle formation, and constantly shot all kinds of spells and magic weapon attacks from the army array, like a meteorite falling from the sky, shooting into the city with terrible killing and destruction.

Compared with the armies of Chu, Yan and Zhao, the advantage of the Qin army is that it has a strong long-range attack capability. I saw that more than a dozen formation platforms had been erected behind the Qin army's formation, each platform was divided into three layers, and twenty-seven array soldiers were sitting on each floor. Under the command of the leader, each fighter casts a spell to concentrate energy into a circular magic disk above the platform, conjuring the phantom of various weapons such as knives, swords, forks, halberds, and hammers, and then firing them fiercely at distant targets. This kind of array spell, called the Three-Layer Earth Array, has a range of up to ten kilometers, and each blow is equivalent to the full strength of the Dan Realm monks, and it is an invincible long-range attack weapon for the Qin army.

In the middle of the Qin army's battle array, there were more than 30 tiger-shaped puppets floating. Under the control of the soldiers of the Qin army below, various pillars of magic light erupted from the tiger's mouth, turning into flames, ice picks, wind blades, water knives, earth and stones and other attack energy of different attributes to shoot towards Wu'an City.

In front of the Qin army's array, 3,000 Qin soldiers were divided into six battle formations in groups of five hundred, and each of them gathered their own battle weapons to form six huge spirit gathering magic weapons to attack the city.

At the forefront of the Qin army were twenty heavy siege chariots. The surface of these chariots was covered with a thick layer of scale armor, forming a thick protective shield, floating in the air, close to the protective cover of Wu'an City, allowing the attack in the city to hit them, and from the front of the body, a long thorn stretched out and violently pierced into the protective shield. With each piercing, the shield on touch seemed to be corroded, opening a small round hole. After breaking through the shield, a heavy shield striker was taken out of the chariot and bravely fought into the city, engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders on the city walls.

Under the three-layer blows of the Qin army, the protective cover of Wu'an City was shaky, and it was already on the verge of collapse, and it seemed that it would not last long.

General Qin Jiang'an stood in the formation of the Qin army with an indifferent expression, and the thick murderous aura of the Qin army gathered on him, which made people feel a strong sense of fear. Seeing the increasingly weak defenses in Wu'an City, the murderous aura on his face became even stronger.

At this time, a deputy general hurriedly came and reported with a little anxiety: "General! We have just received news that General Qin Li has defeated the Second Army of the Zhao Army on the outskirts of Fencheng, annihilating 20,000 people, and has now conquered the three counties in the south of the Zhao State. After saying that, the commander immediately threw a bamboo slip that flashed with spiritual light towards the Qin general, and was instantly grabbed by the latter's big hand.

General An probed into it with his spiritual sense, and another battlefield scene immediately appeared in his mind. I saw that on the vast grassland, tens of thousands of Qin and Zhao armies fought each other, and the battle was extremely fierce, but it was obvious that the Qin army had the upper hand. In the sky above the battlefield, a Qin general who was wrapped in black gas cut off the head of the commander of the Zhao army with a sword, and after the main general was killed, the morale of the Zhao army suddenly plummeted, and he fled in a hurry, and was surrounded and killed by the Qin army from the rear, and died in defeat.

After commanding the Qin army to rush and kill, the Qin general who killed General Zhao stayed in mid-air, and turned his head to General An, showing a defiant smile.

"Humph!"

General An's heart was angry, and he pinched and exploded the bamboo slip.

"What a Qin Li, you actually ran ahead of me! If it weren't for the fact that the general was ordered to attack Wu'an, the important town of the Zhao army, and attracted most of the main forces of the Zhao army, how could it be your turn to compete with me?!"

"All the generals obey the order, launch a general attack on me, and take this city no matter what in half an hour!

After speaking, General An swept up, turned into a cloud of black gas and flew to the sky above Wu'an City at an astonishing speed, raising the black giant sword in his hand, and the black clouds behind him shrouded him, covering half of the sky, as if all the energy in the sky was condensed on this sword.

"Break the Sun!"

General Qin let out a low roar, and as the giant sword swung out, a black sword with a thickness of more than ten meters fell from the sky, slashing towards Wu'an City like a bolt of lightning. An astonishing explosion suddenly sounded in the air, and the huge energy fluctuations even overshadowed all the weapon attacks on the Qin army's side, and in a violent shock, the protective shield of Wu'an City finally burst with a bang!

"Kill! Wash this city with blood!"

General An stared at his blood-red eyes and ordered without emotion. Under the frightened gaze of the defenders in the city, the 30,000 Qin troops were like 30,000 brutal beasts, frantically slaughtering into the city. The sound of shouting and killing, the explosion of magic weapons and spells, and various explosions suddenly resounded in the sky, and a raging fire suddenly ignited in Wu'an City, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river, and the blood and fire reflected each other, dyeing most of the sky red.

In this battle, the Third Army of the Qin Army led by the Qin general An Li defeated the main force of the Southern Army of the Zhao Army, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, killed most of the millions of residents in the city, and almost razed the flowery Wu'an City in the past.

On an inconspicuous small dirt slope more than ten miles away from Wu'an City, three soldiers of the Blue Star Republican Army wearing camouflage uniforms used binoculars to see the whole process of the Qin army's attack on Wu'an City. After the Qin army entered Wu'an City, the three of them quietly left, went around to the dense forest behind them, and sent a message back to the headquarters of the Blue Star Country with Moss telegram.

When the news came back to China, the entire Blue Star Country was shocked. Not only the Blue Star Country, but the entire Dongyan Continent, including other countries such as the Yan Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom, the Jiapu Kingdom, and the Fish-Man Country, also felt a trace of terrifying suppression from the actions of the Qin army.

However, in just half a month, the four corps of the Qin army unexpectedly passed through the northern wilderness forest and entered the southwest of Zhao State, eliminating the unsuspecting southern army of Zhao State, killing more than 80,000 enemies, and all twelve counties in the south of Zhao State fell into the clutches of the Qin army.

In Mo Dan, the capital of Zhao State, there has long been chaos. The panicked news of the Qin invasion made people panic, and the whole city was heavily guarded, but various rumors and cruel realities made this capital of Zhao State, which had stood for hundreds of years, as precarious as leaves fluttering in the wind and rain.

In the main hall of Zhao Palace in Modan City, King Zhao Hui summoned his ministers to urgently discuss the military situation. Hundreds of civil and military ministers gathered together with nervous expressions, and many of them argued noisily about the invasion of the Qin army.

"Great King! The minister thinks that His Majesty should immediately take the imperial conquest in person! Destroy the invading Qin army in one fell swoop! Otherwise, the Qin army's backup will come, and the pressure on our country will increase sharply, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it!" A military general reported loudly, and as soon as his words came out, many people immediately agreed, and the voice of shouting for agreement suddenly rose.

Although the Qin army was menacing, the enemy was no more than 120,000 men, which was similar to the number of troops that invaded our country in the past, and its purpose was to occupy territory, not necessarily to invade further. The minister thought that it was wise not to risk the threat of a full-scale development with the Qin State, and that it was better to send an envoy to deal with him first, to gain time for the mobilization of our army, and then consider recovering the lost territory when our side was ready. A Wenchen immediately put forward the opposite opinion, and his words were echoed by many people.

"Great King, the Qin army is so aggressive, it is by no means as simple as wanting to occupy one of my cities and one county! There is a great ambition of the wolf who wants to annex our country! With the current situation, the minister thinks that he should immediately unite with the Yan State to counterattack the Qin army and completely recover the lost territory!" the other military general said in a deep voice, his tone quite hurried.

"How is this possible?! Great King, the minister thought that the Qin army had just defeated the Wei State, and it was just a fool's dream to want to occupy our country again, and now attacking our country is just the end of a strong crossbow, and I just want to deter my country. The minister was willing to go to Qin as an envoy in person to persuade him to suspend his attack on our country and return our territory. A Wenchen came forward to recommend himself, a picture of righteousness and Ling Ran.

Another Wenchen immediately agreed: "My lord, I think this is very good. Qin's national strength is much stronger than ours, and it must not be easily engaged in war, so as not to provoke the trouble of soldiers coming to the city. With the current situation, it is better to send peace talks. What the Qin State wants, it is nothing more than the wealth of the land and population, it is better for me to take millions of mortal slaves as a hostage in exchange for the territory of our country that the Qin army has occupied. The minister is willing to go to the Qin State with Lord Zihua to lobby, and he will not pay the heavy trust!"

"Great King! Don't believe these slanderous rumors! The Qin State will not die if I die! I even want to annex the entire Dongyan Continent! If we don't make up our minds to resist with all our might, we will definitely regret it!" When the other general heard this, he immediately took possession and loudly objected.

"General Lu! You keep saying that you want to fight against the Qin army, do you have the confidence to defeat the Qin army? What if you don't win and then lose? If you want to make peace at that time, won't you be passive!" Wen Chen immediately objected.

"Hmph! Even if you can't defeat the Qin army, you must not sit idly by and watch it invade our country!" The officer known as General Lu glared fiercely at the Wenchen and pleaded loudly.

"King, send troops!"

"Your Majesty, don't act rashly..."

...

Under the main hall, the military generals of Wenchen once again disputed, and the voice reached the ears of King Zhao Hui on the throne, making his face even more gloomy. As the king of a country, of course, he did not want to see the Qin army continue to invade, hoping to annihilate the enemy and recover the lost territory. But his situation at the moment made him dare not act rashly.

As the Wenchen of the Lord and He said, the strength of the Qin army was by no means something that Zhao alone could stop, and it was necessary to unite the Yan State and even the Chu State in the south to resist the attack of the Qin army, and it would take a lot of time to prepare to unite the two countries. Although when he was attacked by the Qin army, he immediately sent an envoy to Yan State, begging him to send reinforcements, but it would take at least half a month for the Yan State reinforcements to arrive, and during this time, he must preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army.

Therefore, although Zhao Guo had just urgently summoned an army of 100,000, he only ordered it to lay a defensive line more than ten kilometers south of Modan City, holding a defensive posture, and did not intend to counterattack the Qin army immediately.

King Zhao Hui was irritable in his heart, and was irritable by the invasion of the Qin army and the quarrel between the ministers, and when he just wanted to say something to reprimand the ministers, his face suddenly changed, and he looked into the air in surprise.

I only heard a terrifying voice coming from the sky above the palace, which made the faces of all the civil and military generals present change greatly.

"King Zhao Hui, come out and die quickly!"
