Chapter 143: Fair or Fair?
Gongsun Ce was the Grand Marshal, and the Grand Marshal was the chief of the military generals, so the commander-in-chief in this battle was Gongsun Ce, and Nei Shi Teng was only the deputy commander-in-chief.
That night, Gongsun Ce slept well with the beautiful girl in his arms, but Han Wangan, Han Yu and Zhang Kaidi could not sleep at all.
The only information coming from the front line was defeat. Continuous defeats made Han Wangan feel like he was going crazy.
Zhang Kaidi also learned the news of successive defeats on the front line. He began to feel confused and scared.
As for Han Yu, he was already overwhelmed with sorrow. The tiny country of Korea was finally about to be destroyed by farts, but he had not yet become the King of Han.
So Han Yu's expression became gradually dangerous when he looked at the King of Han's palace, and Han Yu began to think about the possibility of driving King Han An off the throne and making him the last king of Korea.
Han Yu's nominal adopted son Han Qiancheng saw the change in Han Yu's expression and immediately understood Han Yu's thoughts, so he hurriedly dissuaded him, "Adoptive father, we still have a chance!"
Han Yu nodded, "City Defense Army! Oh, I still have City Defense Army! Qiancheng, follow me to gather the troops, I want to make a final stand!"
Dawn came quietly.
Xinzheng City, the once prosperous capital of South Korea, is now shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
On the top of the city wall, battle flags fluttered and the soldiers nervously watched the densely packed enemy troops below.
Han Yu had just assembled his troops when he discovered that a large army was approaching from below.
King Han An was sitting restlessly in the palace. The jade cup in his hand was already soaked with sweat, and the slippery touch made him even more upset.
The battle reports from the front line were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart again and again.
He couldn't imagine that Gongsun Ce's army was already at the gate of the city and he knew nothing about it.
It was already bright outside, but Han Wangan, who had been sitting there all night, had no desire to sleep.
He stared with wide eyes outside the palace gate, as if the Qin army would rush in and take his life at any time.
However, he could see nothing except the dazzling sunlight.
The white silk he had set up for the concubines in the harem had not been removed yet.
After all, he was afraid of being infected by the plague, so he never stepped into the harem, so Bai Ling never withdrew.
At this time, Han Wangan could still vaguely see white shadows floating in the harem, as if it was a ceremony prepared for him.
Fear enveloped Han Wangan, but biological instinct gradually overcame instinct, and Han Wangan gradually fell asleep.
"Boom boom boom, woooo~"
Outside the city wall of Xinzheng, the sound of war drums and trumpets was deafening. The Qin army had already assembled and was waiting for the order from the commander-in-chief Gongsun Ce.
The bronze chariot slowly came to the front of the battle. Gongsun Ce carried the half-sleepy Gongsun Yan out of the chariot and sat on the shaft.
"Ugh!"
Gongsun Ce shook the half-asleep Gongsun Yan. After Gongsun Yan murmured in dissatisfaction, she looked around. The Qin army and the city defense troops on the city wall were on high alert, so she became excited again.
Gongsun Ce teased Gongsun Yan in his arms with interest, "Want to watch the fireworks?"
Gongsun Yan nodded. She was keenly aware of the coldness in Gongsun Ce's words, which made her even more excited. "Look! Quick!"
"Get my sword!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang walked to the sides of the bronze chariot, unloaded Juque from the chassis of the bronze chariot, and then the two of them carried Juque to Gongsun Ce.
Gongsun Ce raised Juque with one hand and began to recite the dragon script.
Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King! Word Spirit: Blazing!
A sudden breeze covered the Juque Tower, and then a fire started. The wind took advantage of the fire, and the strong wind carried the flames and lifted the Juque Tower up.
The next moment, Gongsun Ce pushed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and the Juque sword turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the city gate of Xinzheng.
Han Yu's face on the city wall changed drastically. With such a huge sword, such a high speed and such a fierce flame, the city gate of Xinzheng would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Thinking of this, Han Yu hurriedly shouted, "Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly!"
As an expert archer who could shoot accurately from a hundred paces away, Han Qiancheng didn't think anyone could hit the Juque sword below.
Even if it was him, they had no choice but to obey since Han Yu had already given the order.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Arrows attacked the Juque Sword in overwhelming numbers, but the Juque Sword was moving too fast and the arrows had no chance of hitting it.
Even if an arrow could get close to the Juque Sword, it would be turned into ashes by the raging fire wrapped around the surface of the Juque Sword.
It was not until this moment that Han Yu realized that what he had done was in vain.
Han Yu tried to calm his mind, and then ordered the soldiers around him, "Prepare the battering rams, rolling logs, gold juice, and crossbows. If you succeed in defending the city, everyone will be rewarded 100 gold coins and promoted to higher positions!"
Han Yu felt that his words were dry and unconvincing because he could not do anything, whether it was successfully defending the city, giving everyone a hundred gold coins, or promoting them to higher positions.
It was just a routine pre-war mobilization, but Han Yu forgot that he was the only one in the Korean royal family with a good reputation, and his promise was a must in the ears of the soldiers of the city defense army.
So, in an instant, the city defense army's fighting spirit surged and they roared wildly.
"Kill!"
The next moment, Juque hit the city gate.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the city defense army, which had just been furious, suddenly became as quiet as quails, and even Han Yu did not dare to speak. After the Juque sword hit the city gate, a strong wind and flames erupted at the same time. Even though the city gate was made of gold and iron and was painted with fireproof paint, a big hole was hit by the Juque sword at this time. The hole almost filled the entire city gate, and the remaining city gate was burning with raging fire.
When Nei Shiteng saw that the gate of Xinzheng was forced open, he was immediately excited. In his eyes, Xinzheng was not just a city, but a glorious military achievement.
Gongsun Ce smiled and waved his hand, "Charge!"
Nei Shiteng, who had been waiting for the order to charge for a long time, suddenly drew his sword and took the lead.
"Everyone, Xinzheng is right before our eyes, and military achievements are right before our eyes. Promotion to higher positions and thousands of acres of fertile land are right before our eyes. It all depends on whether you can succeed. Follow me, charge! Wind! Strong wind!"
"Strong wind!"
The Qin army roared and followed Nei Shi Teng to charge.
Honglian poked her head out of the bronze chariot and looked at the scene of the army charging before her, with waves of unknown emotions surging in her heart.
The shouts, the sounds of war drums, and the sound of arrows flying through the air intertwined together, shaking the entire city of Xinzheng.
King Han An was awakened. He rushed out of the bedroom in panic and summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
However, it was too late.
The Qin army was unstoppable and approached the gate of Xinzheng city under a hail of arrows, pounding stones and rolling logs.
Although Han Yu tried his best to command the city defense troops to resist, they soon could not hold on under the fierce attack of the Qin army.
What made Han Yu even more desperate was that the Han general Wei Zhuang actually led his troops to attack the city gate from inside the city and cooperated with Gongsun Ce from inside and outside.
Wei Zhuang led the royal guards who were supposed to protect the royal city and appeared behind the city defense army.
"Fire arrows!"
Wei Zhuang shouted loudly, and the imperial guards immediately aimed their bows and shot arrows at the city defenders on the city wall.
The defense line of Xinzheng City collapsed in an instant, and the Qin army poured into the city like a flood.
Shouts, screams, flames rising to the sky... Xinzheng City fell into chaos.
Wei Zhuang walked leisurely to the side of the Juque Sword amidst the chaos of the army. He casually drew out the Juque Sword and weighed it. "The strong will always be strong, but I came from behind and won!"
Wei Zhuang was full of confidence. He firmly believed that he could keep up with Gongsun Ce's pace. After all, the state of unity between man and nature had not been seen for more than a hundred years.
King Han An stood on the high palace wall and watched his capital being occupied by the Qin army. His heart was filled with endless despair and fear.
The Qin army was unstoppable. They advanced all the way and headed straight for the King of Han's palace.
The moment Han Wangan was captured, his face was as pale as paper and his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.
Gongsun Ce's bronze chariot slowly drove into the Palace of King Han. When the bronze chariot stopped in front of King Han An, King Han An's heart was gripped with grief, and he was worried about his fate.
The king of a fallen country was already cowardly and incompetent for not sacrificing his life for his country, and now King Han An was even worse. He kept simulating in his mind how he should beg for mercy next.
"Father."
Honglian's clear voice rang in Han Wangan's ears. Han Wangan thought it was an illusion for a moment, until the curtain of the bronze carriage was lifted and Honglian got off the carriage.
Han Wangan was filled with joy. "Honglian, hurry up, hurry up and beg for mercy from this noble! Father doesn't want to die yet!"
Honglian stood in front of Han Wangan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
She looked at this once high and mighty Korean monarch, and only sadness remained in her heart.
"Father, you will not die. On the contrary, you will be treated to delicious food and drinks by the Qin State."
Just as Honglian was about to comfort Han Wangan, Han Fei followed the team escorting Han Yu into Han Wang's palace.
Han Wangan lowered his head and remained silent. It would be best if he didn't have to die, especially since he was treated to delicious food and drinks.
The war in Xinzheng City gradually subsided, but the victory of the Qin army did not bring much joy to Nei Shi Teng who was beside Gongsun Ce.
There is no gaming experience at all, just cheating and pushing the game forward.
However, Nei Shi Teng still had things to do, and he had no time to savor this easy mode of war. King Han An and Han Yu were suppressed by Nei Shi Teng, and they would be sent to Qin to meet Ying Zheng.
At this time, Gongsun Ce slowly got off the carriage, and Honglian, Zinu, Jingwei, Yan Lingji, and Madam Mingzhu, who had not shown up from the beginning, got off the carriage one after another.
Gongsun Ce gave Madam Mingzhu a wicked smile and said, "Let's go and see the mourning hall that Han Wangan set up for his concubines. I guess Han Wangan hasn't dismantled it yet."
Han Fei glanced at Gongsun Ce, the boss who was walking away. He walked up to the palace wall helplessly and ordered the Qin army to gather the people in Xinzheng.
Before speaking, Han Fei lowered his head and glanced at the cheat sheet that Gongsun Ce had prepared for him, which was the script of the speech he was about to deliver.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Han Fei cleared his throat, attracting the attention of the anxious people.
Soon, the people recognized Han Fei's identity.
"Ninth Young Master!"
"It's the Ninth Young Master!"
“Koreans don’t cheat Koreans!”
"I want to give birth to a baby boy for the Ninth Young Master!"
Han Fei felt as if some strange speeches had been mixed in, but he still spoke according to the script, "We are here for only three things: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness..."
