Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

It is a pity that in the face of the absolute strength gap, although Wei Zhuang was able to defeat Wang Ben by deliberate calculation and unintentional, Wang Ben was not a mediocre person, but a truly battle-hardened general, with hundreds of thousands of people under his command. Under the control, he even forced tens of thousands of Korean people to serve as an siege team. The Xinzheng garrison, which was still determined to resist the Qin army, faced the attack of the same Koreans. The army was confused and hesitated. .

And this hesitation can turn into a fatal thing in the battle. When the time entered the 19th year of the Qin Dynasty, when snowflakes were flying in the sky, the city wall of Xinzheng was breached and the city gate was occupied.

Wei Zhuang's trump card, which he had to expose due to his previous absolute disadvantage, had lost most of its effect at this time. Under the deliberate preparedness of the Qin army, it was impossible to have the effect of a surprise attack. The role it can play is nothing more than to hinder the pace of the Qin army's attack.

This time, the Qin army did not rush to attack the city after entering the city. Instead, they attacked steadily and relied on the city walls and gates to mobilize their absolute power into Xinzheng City and push it away in an upright manner.

In two days, the Qin army conquered trenches and barriers one after another, and already occupied one-third of Xinzheng.

"The casualties in the past two days are not small." On the tower where Wei Zhuang once stood, Wang Ben frowned as he listened to the Qin army's casualty figures reported by his subordinates. Such a situation was not what he wanted to see.

"The resistance of the soldiers and civilians in Xinzheng is very strong. In the street fighting, it is difficult for our army to give full play to its strength advantage because it is a little more difficult." said the deputy general who was responsible for various chores around Wang Ben to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

"We can't go on like this. We have delayed the war for nineteen years, and the general has to mobilize troops and horses to support us. We did not fight well in this battle." Wang Ben said solemnly, Xinzheng's resistance It was far beyond his expectation. It had lasted for nearly five months since Qin's war against Han and Wei at the end of July last year. Although the results achieved were considered adequate for siege warfare in this era, Wang Ben wants more than just passing the exam.

"What does the general mean?" After hearing Wang Ben's words, he seemed to have other ideas, and the deputy general asked tentatively.

"Let's use fire attack. Now is the time when the weather is cold and dry. It's a good time to use fire attack. Let's let the flames be our vanguard to attack the Korean army." Wang Ben said.

"Fire attack? General, under the fire attack, no distinction is made between the enemy and ourselves, let alone the soldiers and civilians. They are all reduced to ashes. Isn't that a little too cruel?" asked the deputy general.

"It is better to be cruel to the enemy than to be cruel to us. The people who are still resisting in this city are not the people of Qin. We do not need to be responsible for their lives." Wang Ben said coldly.

At this moment, a cheer came from the front. It turned out that the Qin army had broken through the most important defensive offensive in Xinzheng City along the imperial road in front of the Han Palace. The Qin army from all directions followed the road broken by the Qin army from the imperial road to the depths of Xinzheng. Attack.

Wang Ben looked at the scene in front of him and fell into hesitation. If possible, of course he wanted to leave a complete Xinzheng, and the current breakthrough of the Qin army made him see this possibility, but is it really necessary?

Wang Ben pondered, he was wavering on whether to let the army withdraw and attack with fire. How should he choose now?

"The nights are long and the dreams are many. The Korean general Wei Zhuang is not mediocre. If I continue like this, if I am bitten by him again, I will be in great disgrace." Thinking of the previous failure, Wang Ben's heart became more and more worried. Firm.

"Send the order for the army to withdraw." Wang Ben said to the soldiers on the left and right.

As the military order was issued, the Qin army that invaded the imperial road began to slowly withdraw.

On the tall building of the General's Mansion, Wei Zhuang, who noticed the Qin Army's intention to retreat for the first time, couldn't help but freeze. The Qin Army's retreat was beyond his expectation.

After the Qin army invaded the city, the Korean army could be said to be defeated. No matter in terms of combat power or military strength, the Korean army was far from the Qin army's opponent. As a Korean general, Wei Zhuang had no choice but to make a comeback. With the help of external forces, and in the current season, according to the situation in Xinzheng, fire attack is also something Wei Zhuang can think of. On both sides of the imperial road, Wei Zhuang has laid out large beams of saltpeter charcoal. In addition to the imperial road, there are other Several important places in the city are waiting for the Qin army to invade them, and then turn half of Xinzheng into a sea of ​​fire.

However, the Qin Army is about to retreat now, which makes Wei Zhuang somewhat unexpected. What exactly does the Qin Army want to do? Wei Zhuang thought quickly.

"General, something is not right. The Qin army is withdrawing from the battlefield at this time. It may be that they want to attack with fire." While Wei Zhuang was thinking about it, Zhang Liang had already ran up. Although he was not as proficient in the art of war as Wei Zhuang, he was Understand people’s hearts better.

"The Qin army also wants to use fire to attack?" Wei Zhuang looked shocked. He already believed Zhang Liang's judgment nine points.

"Send the signal and light the fire. Before all the Qin troops withdraw, we have to take a step forward." Before Wei Zhuang could speak, Zhang Liang had already ordered the soldiers around Wei Zhuang.

"Master Zhang, our people haven't withdrawn yet." A soldier questioned.

The Qin army withdrew suddenly, but the Korean soldiers and civilians did not withdraw.

"I can't care about that now. There are always sacrifices in war." Zhang Liang said sternly.

What Zhang Liang said made sense, but the soldiers still looked at Wei Zhuang one by one. Setting fire at this time would certainly burn some of the Qin troops to death, but the casualties among Korean soldiers and civilians would only be more severe.

"General, don't hesitate any longer. Every time you hesitate, more Qin troops will withdraw from the battlefield. Once the Qin troops launch an attack, those people will still be unable to escape," Zhang Liang said.

Wei Zhuang looked at Zhang Liang in front of him with a complicated look on his face. At this moment, he realized that Zhang Liang was more decisive than he thought. He thought that he was a decisive person in killing, but at this moment he was... It's not as good as Zhang Liangyuan.

"Give me the order," Wei Zhuang said.

For a moment, in the core of Xinzheng City, several black smoke suddenly rose. Soon, in the cold wind, flames emerged from the black smoke, and the flames spread quickly, even if the Qin army had already They started to retreat, but there were still some people who had no time to evacuate.

In the spreading fire, there was a sharp increase in temperature, but under the flames, there was the coldness of death.

Wang Ben on the city tower looked at the flames rising everywhere in Xinzheng. A cold feeling swept through his body, and then he suddenly woke up. Fortunately, fortunately, he also thought of using the fire attack strategy and allowed the Qin army to evacuate. Although There are still many Qin troops who have not withdrawn, but they will not be caught off guard.

Wang Ben couldn't even imagine what the Qin army would face once the flames rose.

Now, although the Qin army is still in chaos, it is still under control. Although there are casualties, they are still within the tolerance range.

When the fire was barely extinguished, thousands of Qin troops and nearly 10,000 Xinzheng soldiers and civilians were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

When a fire broke out, the Korean soldiers and civilians in Xinzheng completely lost their will to resist. They fled from their homes and camps one by one. After the first fire appeared, countless fires could appear.

When the outcome is completely determined, resistance has no value, and resistance without value has no need to exist.

More importantly, when the fire was extinguished, Han Wangan actually walked out of the Han Palace. Under the eyes of countless people with different expressions, he chose to surrender, which completely made Xinzheng lose the last trace of courage to resist.

At the beginning of the 19th year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army captured Xinzheng and South Korea was destroyed.

In the mountains south of Xinzheng, Wei Zhuang killed the last pursuer. His body was already covered in scars. Facing the endless pursuit, Wei Zhuang only felt the coldness around him getting deeper.

"Perhaps, I should prepare an ending for myself. It's just too shabby to die in this barren mountain with no name, and I'm really not willing to accept it." Wei Zhuang muttered, whispering in his ear. He moved, and vaguely heard footsteps.

"That's not right." Wei Zhuang stood up suddenly, and suddenly there was a sound of piercing the air behind him. Wei Zhuang turned over and dodged the hidden weapon behind him in embarrassment. Three swordsmen had appeared around him.

"The killer in the net?" Wei Zhuang looked at the swordsman who was pressing towards him step by step. At this time, the people who could appear here could only remind him of the people in the net.

"General South Korea, your head is worth a lot of money." The leading swordsman said.

"Then you have to have the ability to get it." Wei Zhuang sneered and had already raised the shark-tooth sword in his hand, but the current shark-tooth sword was really a bit heavy for him.

"How much strength do you still have now?" The leader of the killer said no more and attacked Wei Zhuang with his sword.

With the sound of metal and iron clashing, Wei Zhuang's body staggered. The man's swordsmanship was actually the same as his, and he also followed a domineering trend, but now all his strength had been consumed. His body is even more scarred, and his strength is only 30%. How can he be a match for a top killer like the other party who has been recharging his energy for a long time.

"Remember, the person who killed you is really strong." As the killer spoke, he slashed down with his sword again, knocking Wei Zhuang back a few steps again.

"It's just a tiger being bullied by a dog." Wei Zhuang sneered. Even though his body was exhausted to the limit, he still would not bend his neck to be killed. Even if he died, he would bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

However, although the power of faith is powerful, Wei Zhuang is too weak now. After thirty seconds, Wei Zhuang could no longer hold the shark-tooth sword in his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.

"This is my ending. I'm really unwilling to accept it. Senior brother, he shouldn't laugh at my incompetence, right?" At the last moment of his life, Wei Zhuang was thinking of his senior brother Gai Nie.

Just when Wei Zhuang closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a scream, but that scream was not from him. Then there were three more screams. What happened?

Wei Zhuang looked intently and saw that the killer who forced him into a desperate situation had turned into a corpse with a bloody hole in his chest. The three killers who blocked his retreat to prevent him from escaping also lost their lives. The same way of death, the bloody holes in the chest even appeared at the same time. Who could actually kill four scattered killers at the same time in one move?

"Master?" The voice called out from Wei Zhuang's mouth, and such terrifying swordsmanship, could only remind him of his master.

"Xiaozhuang, your first exam is over."
