"The Qin army is attacking, and it is no more than fifty miles away now." A bloody man ran out of breath and shouted loudly from a distance.
However, every time they shouted, blood flowed out of their mouths, and arrows from the Qin army were inserted into their chests and backs.
The only lucky man who broke out from the Qin army's scouts was obviously seriously injured.
"What?" The soldiers who were guarding the city, who had been energized by the war, heard the call of the visitor and did not dare to delay at all. Several people stepped forward to greet the visitor, and several others quickly ran into the city and came to the city.
The city gate captain who was resting in the city gate cave reported.
"What? The Qin army is attacking?" Chengmen Lieutenant, who was happily eating pig's head meat, heard his subordinate's report and was so frightened that he even dropped the pig's head meat in his hand.
"Go and stop this person quickly. This information must not be leaked." After being slightly stunned, the Chengmen Lieutenant quickly ordered his men.
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, this news cannot appear in Xinzheng City. If the news is true, it will only cause chaos and bring greater trouble to the city defenders. If it is false, then he will be even more guilty.
Can't escape.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Chengmen Lieutenant realized the key point. This news must be reported, but he could only say that it should be reported.
When the big man who reported the news was brought into the city gate, he was already breathing out more and taking in less.
"The Qin Army's arrows, did the Qin Army really attack?" The Chengmen Lieutenant must have taken a breath when he saw the arrows that pierced the chest behind the big man.
At this time, there is no need to verify the authenticity of the news.
"Take this good man with you and follow me to report to the Lord Guard." The Chengmen Lieutenant ordered his subordinates on the left and right in panic.
However, how could the news really be concealed? With the appearance of the big man, the bloody figure finally attracted the attention of passers-by, and the news was leaked.
The Qin army is coming? For a moment, the news was like a bolt from the blue, exploding over Xinzheng.
Han Yu, the fourth son of King Han, who is currently serving as a South Korean guard and responsible for the defense of the outer city of Xinzheng, after receiving the news, ordered his subordinates to close the city gate as soon as possible and impose martial law on the outer city, and hurried to the palace. The current situation,
It is no longer something that he, a guard, can solve.
"How come the Qin army is so fast? We didn't get any news at all?" After receiving the news, Han Wangan hurried from the harem to the front hall and heard a piece of news that frightened him.
"Returning to your Majesty, all the elites of the Qin State's snares came out and lurked into our country. They destroyed all the post stations in the western border of our country overnight. Later, the Qin army divided its troops and took control of various transportation routes. We and other more than 30 brothers were the only ones in the end.
The three of us brothers rushed out of the blockade of the Qin army and took a small road to bring the news back before the Qin army." The big man who had been brought to the palace and was dripping blood replied weakly.
"How is that possible?" Han Wangan said unwilling to believe it.
"Father, at this time, we must prepare a defense as soon as possible and conquer the people to defend the city." Han Yu, who looked equally defeated, managed to calm down and said.
"Yes, yes, at this time, you should not panic." Han Wangan said tremblingly.
How could we not panic? If it were any other time, even if the Qin army came to the city, the city wall of Xinzheng that had been continuously repaired for five hundred years would be enough to withstand it for several years. However, Xinzheng currently does not have much defensive power that can be mobilized.
All the troops have been sent to support the northern border. Now the garrison of Xinzheng is no more than 20,000 people, including the palace guards.
What made Han Wangan even more desperate was that there were no generals in Xinzheng City at this time.
General Ji Wuye, Blood-clad Hou Bai Yifei, and Sima Liu Yi, the most powerful men in the Korean military circles, have all gone to the north to fight against the invading Qin army. Today's Xinzheng?
Han Wangan couldn't help but closed his eyes in pain. If he had known this day, he shouldn't have handed over half of the imperial guards to Liu Yi in order to strengthen the strength of the new army under his command.
As for the generals who can defend the city? Han Wangan couldn't help but look at his son Han Yu, no, although he has good talents, he is still too young after all and has not experienced battle formations.
Han Wangan quickly calculated in his mind the general candidates that Xinzheng could use at this time. After thinking about it, he sadly discovered that in Xinzheng City at this time, the strongest and the only person who could be used was actually himself.
At this time, in Xinzheng City, he was the only one who had commanded a large army in battle.
Are we going to let him go? This idea cast a bigger shadow on the already panicked King Han Anxin.
How could Baiyue be on par with the Qin army? Han Wangan, who knew that his military exploits were only based on Baiyue's bullying, still had a sense of his own abilities. He knew that he could not be the Qin army's opponent.
Is it really God's will to destroy Gu Gu and South Korea? Han Wangan thought in despair.
Although despairing in his heart, Han Wangan did not give up his struggle. While summoning his civil and military ministers, he returned to the harem to prepare for war.
"Have you gained so much weight in these years?" Han Wangan stood in front of the bronze mirror. Next to him was his beloved concubine Hu Meiren, a Baiyue survivor, who was piercing his armor.
"Your Majesty, there haven't been many changes compared to back then." Hu Meiren, who struggled to put on the heavy armor for King Han, said with a gentle smile.
After hearing Hu Meiren's flattery, and then seeing Hu Meiren's pretty face like a flower in April, and the graceful figure that was half hidden under her neck, if it were normal Han Wangan, he would have started a war. Unfortunately,
At this time, he was dominated by another war that was about to break out. At this time, all he had in his heart was fear, and there was no trace of beauty anywhere.
"The fat is already there, and even the armor from back then is much tighter." Han Wangan said helplessly.
Of course, in his heart, there was another half of the sentence that he had not said at this time, because at this time, he not only felt that the armor was tight, but also felt an unbearable weight. His body was a little weak. If it was
Back then, wearing this armor, he could march for a whole day without feeling tired. Unlike now, when he just put on the armor, he could already feel his body aching.
However, Han Wangan couldn't say these words. As the king of Han, he couldn't.
Although Han Wangan was panicked, he still summoned the civil and military ministers and reluctantly allocated the defense matters of Xinzheng. At this time, the time was approaching dusk, and the forward of the Qin army finally appeared in the sight of Xinzheng City.
"It's really unbelievable that we just arrived at the foot of Xinzheng City? The enemy's capital?" A team of Qin Army scouts appeared on a hill outside Xinzheng City, looking at Xinzheng City, which was only a few miles away. The leader of the team was
Couldn't help but exclaimed.
He never thought that this raid would go so smoothly.
Are we too strong, or is South Korea too weak? The team general didn't know for a moment whether he had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. In fact, the current situation made it easy for people to misjudge.
