Chapter 424, the Zhao family will die

The defenders of Handan looked nervously at the black-pressed cavalry below, and some of the soldiers with crossbows in their hands didn't even notice that their bow-holding hands were trembling.

And under the city wall, Li walked out of the queue of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, one person and one horse independent of the front of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, looking at the towering Handan City in front of him, Li Mu's eyes were complicated, he never thought that he would go to Handan like this. But he has come to the city of Handan, and he has no way to retreat, not only does he have no way to retreat, but the Wuling Iron Cavalry, who has accompanied him for more than ten years, has no way to retreat.

Li Mu's eyes became firm, and he shouted as he looked at the defenders on the city wall

"I am Li Mu, and I Wuling Iron Horse came to Handan, just for one thing, to seek justice for my Wuling Iron Horse Handan 13,521 family members. The army is all Zhao people, I don't want to make a move on my compatriots, open the city gate and still have a chance to live! ”

The guards and soldiers on the city wall, you look at me, I see that no one dares to speak out, they have heard about Zhao Wangqian's massacre of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, after all, the massacre of the Wuling Iron Cavalry's family was carried out in Handan City, and they still remember the Wuling Iron Cavalry's family members who fled in confusion on the streets of Handan that day and the soldiers who kept chasing and killing behind them. Although Zhao Wangqian slaughtered these family members on the grounds of the rebellion of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, as long as the Zhao people were not too mediocre, they did not believe that Li Mu would rebel.

The words are terrifying, under Zhao Wangqian's coffin closure conclusion and Guo Kai's public opinion offensive, there are still many people who think that Wuling Tieqi really rebelled before. It's just that soon the news of Zhao Wangqian's massacre of the Wuling Tieqi family and the forced rebellion of Li Mu and Wuling Tieqi was spread in the market of Handan, and it was constantly spread in private, and soon the two rumors continued to expand, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Just when the soldiers on the city wall were at a loss, Zhao Wangqian came to the Handan city wall with the support of Lieutenant Wei, and the soldiers saluted and shouted when they saw Zhao Wangqian coming

"Meet the King!"

"No courtesy."

After Zhao Wangqian waved his hand casually to let these soldiers get up, he held the city wall with one hand and looked at the Wuling Iron Cavalry below, and when he saw Li Mu standing in front of the formation, the panic in his eyes instantly turned into panic, and he took a step back and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, king!" Lieutenant Wei and the attendants on the side stepped forward in a panic to support Zhao Wangqian.

Zhao Wangqian's face was full of horror, and his mouth kept shouting

"Impossible, how is it possible, how can Li Mu still be alive? The widow had already killed him! ”

Zhao Wangqian grabbed Lieutenant Wei's arm and shook it and shouted

"Quick, shoot him! Shoot him! He's here to kill the widow!! ”

Zhao Wangqian's eyes were red, his face was full of horror, and the whole person seemed to have seen a ghost, and Li Mu's fear of Zhao Wangqian was far more terrifying than that of ghosts. The soldiers on the city wall lowered their heads when they saw Zhao Wangqian like this, but their eyes still couldn't stop looking at it, and for a while they were more sure that Zhao Wangqian's massacre of Wuling Iron Cavalry before was really just like the rumors, and it was Zhao Wangqian who couldn't tolerate Li Mu, so he forced Li Mu to rebel.

The new Zongzheng of the Zhao State Sect who came up on the side, Zhao Wu coughed lightly and said

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your manners!"

Hearing Zhao Wu's words, Zhao Wangqian reacted that this was on the city wall, his eyes drifted around, and the soldiers around him retracted their eyes and did not dare to peek, Zhao Wangqian also knew that he was embarrassed, and shook off the lieutenant Wei with a cold snort.

"This person under the city is pretended to be by others, the real Li Mu has already been killed by the widow because of the rebellion, you are the most elite soldier of my Zhao country, don't be fooled by it.

Wuling Iron Cavalry is favored by the king, and now the enemy of Zhao State is current, they do not want to serve the country with their bodies, but they commit rebellion and attack Handan, which is really a chaotic minister and thief. The widow ordered that anyone who killed one person of Wuling Iron Cavalry would be rewarded with 100 gold, those who beheaded three people would be given land, and those who beheaded ten people would be knighted! Zhao Wangqian shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.

Although Zhao Wangqian is mediocre, he also knows that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and now that Li Mu is outside, they can only save a life by relying on these soldiers to support them.

This kind of thing has not yet appeared before killing his own king, but Zhao Wangqian is very worried that Li Mu is willing to be the first person. I didn't think that Li Mu would rebel before, but now that Li Mu has rebelled, Zhao Wangqian is very worried that Li Mu dares to risk the world's condemnation.

Hearing such a reward from Zhao Wangqian, the soldiers at the head of the city shouted loudly with their eyes shining

"Swear allegiance to the king!"

Seeing that the result he wanted was there, Zhao Wangqian continued

"All the affairs of Handan's guards are entrusted to Lieutenant Wei and Zongzheng Zhao Wu, seeing them is like seeing a widow, and Handan must obey the orders of the two of them."

"No!" Lieutenant Wei and Zhao Wu arched their hands and said.

Zhao Wangqian patted Lieutenant Wei's shoulder and took the chamberlain down to the city, Li Mu under the city naturally saw Zhao Wangqian at the head of the city, but he didn't speak, this was his last chance to leave Zhao Wangqian.

The Wuling Iron Cavalry behind Li Mu looked at Handan City in front of them, all of them were nervous and serious, they were also uneasy and entangled in their hearts at the moment, they used to return to Handan to bathe in the past, but now they want to attack their own national capital, this sense of disparity makes them feel at a loss, but when they think of their dead family, the hesitation in their hearts is gradually replaced by hatred.

At the head of the city, Lieutenant Wei looked at Zhao Wu with a smile and said

"Lord Zongzheng, now Li Mu is shouting below, what do you say we should do?"

Zhao Wu understood what Lieutenant Wei meant, and without saying anything, he pulled out the long sword on his waist and put it on Lieutenant Wei's neck. Lieutenant Wei was stunned by Zhao Wu's sudden surprise.

"Zhao Wu, what do you mean by this? Now that the enemy is present, do you have to be a thief? Lieutenant Wei said with a shaver all over his body.

The guards of Lieutenant Wei on the side hurriedly drew their swords and aimed them at Zhao Wu, and the soldiers brought by Zhao Wu also drew their swords and confronted him.

Zhao Wu said close to Lieutenant Wei's ear

"Lord Lieutenant, everyone in the world knows that it was you who led people to slaughter the family members of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, it can be said that you are one of the people that Li Mu and the Wuling Iron Cavalry hate the most, as long as you kill you, you will definitely be able to calm their anger with your head, as long as you temporarily stabilize them, my Zhao Kingdom will have a chance to survive.

You are the king's favorite retainer and the king's confidant, and now is the time for you to be loyal to the king! ”

Lieutenant Wei didn't expect Zhao Wu to say this, and opened his mouth for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

"The edict of the king, Lieutenant Li Wei, does not think about the king's grace, deceives the king, and even the king mistakenly kills the family members of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, and now I am ordered to kill this person and settle the grievances!" Zhao Wu took out an edict from his bosom and said.

When the surrounding soldiers saw the edict in Zhao Wu's hand, they put away the weapons in their hands one after another, and no longer cared about Lieutenant Wei. Lieutenant Wei saw this scene with infinite sadness in his heart and shouted loudly

"Zhao Qian, you hurt me!! I won't let you go even if I'm dead. ”

Zhao Wu didn't wait for Lieutenant Wei to speak, and shouted directly at Li Mu below

"I am the Zongzheng of the Zhao State Sect, Zhao Wu. The king knew that you and others had been wronged, but the king was also deceived by a traitorous minister, who was the lieutenant Li Wei, and the person who led the soldiers to slaughter your family was also this traitor. Now the king has come to his senses and ordered me to kill this traitor as an example.

You are all my Zhao people, and you are the most elite and honorable soldiers of my Zhao country, as long as you lay down your arms now, you are still the most honored Wuling iron cavalry of my Zhao country! ”

In order to let the Wuling Iron Cavalry below see that he was not joking, Zhao Wu directly put Lieutenant Wei against the head of the city and put his sword on Lieutenant Wei's neck. Li Mu's heart sank when he saw this scene, and there was a slight commotion in the Wuling Iron Horse behind him.

Lieutenant Wei is indeed one of the enemies of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, or the person they want to kill the most, now Lieutenant Wei is in front of them, as long as they no longer attack Handan City, they are still the Wuling Iron Cavalry, and they are still the glory of the generations, just when they were entangled, Lieutenant Wei at the head of the city suddenly shouted

"Don't listen to him fart, the person who ordered the slaughter of the Wuling Iron Cavalry was Zhao Wangqian, and he personally ordered it, in order to."

Before Lieutenant Wei could finish his words, his head was cut off by Zhao Wu.

Looking at the falling heads on Handan City, it attracted everyone's attention, and the Wuling Iron Cavalry, who was in a commotion, also stabilized at this moment.

"Don't listen to him, imagine what our surviving brothers and family members said, Lieutenant Wei is our enemy, and so is Zhao Qian!" Sima Shang shouted loudly.

Hearing Sima Shang's words, the military spirit of the Wuling Iron Cavalry stabilized again, and the surviving Wuling Iron Cavalry spread everything after their turn, and with the words of their families, they knew that it was Zhao Wangqian's hand that made the first move.

At this moment, the sound of the ground shaking sounded, which once again attracted everyone's attention.

Black cavalry rushed towards Handan City from the other side, black armor and black faces, and horses with iron masks and armor. The black Xuanniao flag flew in the wind, and a large banner with a Mongolian character indicated the identity of the other party, the golden fire cavalry led by Meng Tian.

Seeing the sudden arrival of the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian, Zhao Wu and Li Mu looked over one after another and began to think about something in their hearts. The first to come back to his senses was Zhao Wu.

"You are all from my Zhao people, and now that the Qin army has arrived in our national capital, I hope that everyone will temporarily put aside their grievances and expel foreign enemies together!" Zhao Wu shouted at the Wuling Iron Horse outside the city.

Zhao Wu is not afraid of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, because the Wuling Iron Cavalry is a cavalry, lacking the means to attack the city, although Li Mu once led the Wuling Iron Cavalry to break through the city garrisoned by three times his own enemy, but it is a small city, and it cannot be compared with Handan, which is known as the first strong city, Handan's city wall has been strengthened and heightened many times after the two Handan defense battles, and the original Bai Qi led the Qin army to be unable to break through in a short time, not to mention the cavalry of Wuling Iron Cavalry that lacked siege equipment.

But the Golden Fire Cavalry is different, Zhao Wu also knows the inside story of the Southern Great Wall being broken, and knows that the Golden Fire Cavalry has special siege methods, so Zhao Wu immediately hoped that Li Mu would lead the Wuling Iron Cavalry and the Golden Fire Cavalry to hedge, and after both were defeated, he would reap the benefits.

It's just that Li Mu didn't look at Zhao Wu at all, but looked at the golden fire cavalry that stopped not far from them, and he didn't understand whether Meng Tian was here to supervise them or to help them.

Sima Shang rode a horse to Li Mu's side and whispered

"General, the Golden Fire Cavalry of the Qin State should logically attract the firepower of the border army in a section of the Southern Great Wall, how did they come to Handan?"

"It should be that there is a problem with the Qin army, you go and contact the people sent by Luowang and ask them what the situation is." Li Mu commanded.

"No!"

After Sima Shang rode his horse back into the military formation, he headed towards the rear of the Wuling Iron Cavalry. The person in charge of contacting them has been waiting for a long time. Sima Shang couldn't help but be slightly stunned after seeing the person who came clearly, because the person who came was one of the most famous wealthy businessmen in Zhao State, Soul Candle.

"I really didn't expect the soul boss to be the one who caught the net." Sima Shang looked at the soul candle and sighed.

"General Sima, we are also old acquaintances, we used to be the masters of our own affairs, so there was a lot of deception, now we are all people who eat in a pot, and we don't have to hide it anymore, under is the person in charge of Zhao Guo, the soul candle." The soul candle saluted to Sima Shang.

"At the beginning, the food and supplies of Yanmen Pass were cut off by the people of the court, and it was you who led people to give us a large amount of food and materials to tide us over the difficulties, and this is also what King Qin asked you to do?" Sima Shang asked with a complicated mood.

At the beginning, the Zhao Dynasty seized the food and materials for the winter in their Yanmen Pass, in the cold and freezing, the soldiers of Yanmen Pass were hungry and cold, and some people were even frozen to death or starved to death, not only that, the Xiongnu also sent people to constantly attack the border, making the soldiers of Yanmen Pass miserable. Because they did not have the dance posture and food for the winter, they wanted to fight the Huns, and even if they win, it was a miserable victory.

Gradually, the Huns also figured out that their food and materials were not enough, and began to fight a continuous war with them, so they would inevitably suffer a big loss, but fortunately, at the critical time, the soul candle brought his own caravan to send a large amount of materials and food.

"The king once said that the Central Plains can die in the Central Plains, and must not die in foreign races!" The soul candle said in the direction of Xianyang.

Sima Shang repeated what the soul candle said, and a feeling of admiration rose in his heart

"The general asked me to ask, why did the Golden Fire Cavalry come?"

"Please also rest assured that General Meng Tian had no other ideas before leading the Golden Fire Cavalry, and he came to deliver the siege equipment." Soul Candle said.

The existing gunpowder of the Qin army was powerless in the face of a city wall like Handan City, and if it wanted to break the city, it had to rely on the siege equipment built by the public losers, which were all disassembled and sent by the golden fire cavalry.

"Thank you so much." Sima Shang arched his hand and said.

"It's a pity, General Sima!" Soul Candle said with a smile.

Sima Shang turned his horse's head and reported to Li Mu, and after Sima Shang left, Soul Candle summoned other net killers and said

"Prepare the siege equipment sent by the Golden Fire Cavalry, and wait for the Wuling Iron Cavalry to come and collect it."

"No!"
