Chapter 273

On the walls of Daliang City, the Wei soldiers looked down at the Qin army's formation with a dismissive attitude. If it were earlier, the Wei soldiers in Daliang City would have been a bit afraid when they saw the Qin army attacking the city. After all, the bravery of the Qin army was known to all. The fact that the Qin state had won consecutive battles in Wei Guo and attacked Daliang City like a hot knife through butter already explained this point. Therefore, when the Qin army first reached Daliang City, they were prepared for a death battle.

Facing the Qin army's attack, they even opened the city gates to actively meet the Qin army. But after several exchanges, they gradually realized a fact, which was that the Qin army seemed to have no way to climb Daliang City.

It could only be said that the current Wei soldiers truly underestimated this Daliang City built by their ancestors. This was not strange, after all, they had not experienced the defense of Daliang before.

Only some old people knew how solid Daliang City was. Back then, Bai Qi had led an army to attack Daliang, but ended up almost being trapped in Daliang. Although there were various reasons for this, it could be considered one of the few failures in Bai Qi's life.

When the Wei army realized that the Qin army could not break Daliang City, although they were still a bit nervous about the Qin state's army being at the city gates, they were not as afraid as they had imagined. The reason was that there was grain in the city. As long as the Qin army could not break Daliang, they could hold out for a long time just by relying on the grain stored in the city. On the contrary, the Qin army had come from afar and penetrated deep into their Wei Guo. If they couldn't capture it for a long time, perhaps they would withdraw their troops on their own.

To put it bluntly, although the people of Wei Guo in Daliang City were not as afraid as before, they still held a pessimistic attitude toward this Qin attack on Wei.

Han Guo, Zhao Guo, and Yan Guo had all been destroyed one after another. Could Wei Guo block the Qin state's attack?

If they couldn't block it, I'm afraid the only path left was the destruction of the state!

In the current situation, hoping for rescue from other countries was basically impossible.

Qi Guo had always been of one mind with the Qin state. Back when the five states formed an alliance, Qi Guo was the only one among the six states of Shandong that did not participate.

As for Chu Guo, it was possible that they understood the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold" and would send troops to rescue Wei Guo. But relying on the strength of Chu Guo alone, even if they sent troops, it was estimated that it would not change the current situation.

But because Daliang City had blocked the Qin state's several attacks, some people in Wei Guo, in addition to despair, still couldn't help but give birth to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Qin state would withdraw its troops on its own.

Today, facing the Qin state's another active attack on the city.

Although the Wei soldiers in Daliang City did not intend to go out of the city to meet the Qin army, they were still fully on guard. Facing the Qin army head-on, they were not the Qin army's opponents, but now, they occupied Daliang City and had the advantage of geographical location, so they must guard the city well and not let the Qin army climb up.

"Strange～～!"

On the city wall, an old Wei soldier immediately discovered something wrong.

"What's strange?"

Beside him, a young Wei soldier immediately asked. Regarding defending the city, the old soldier indeed had more experience. Back then, these young people almost let the Qin army climb the city wall with the help of those siege weapons. Fortunately, it was under the command of these old soldiers that they beat the Qin army back down again.

After this incident, the status of these old Wei soldiers in the hearts of the young soldiers climbed to a very high level. What made the young soldiers admire them even more was that Dian Qing, who had blocked the frontal impact of thirteen Qin war chariots in a row during the battle outside the city earlier, was one of them.

The young soldiers didn't know that this group of old soldiers had another name in the past, called—"Wei Wu Soldiers." After the Battle of Maling Road, the Wei Wu Soldiers gradually declined, but they were still the most elite troops of Wei Guo. They had once joined Lord Lord Xinling to attack the Qin state. Unfortunately, also because of Lord Lord Xinling, the leader of the Wei Wu Soldiers, the Grand General of Wei Guo, was suspected and later died for no reason. Many people guessed it was the work of the King of Wei.

After the Grand General died, the Wei Wu Soldiers were once controlled by the Grand Minister Wei Yong. Later, because of treason, Wei Yong was executed by Lord Lord Xinling, and the Wei Wu Soldiers were once again controlled by Lord Lord Xinling. Unfortunately, good times didn't last long. Not long after Lord Lord Xinling executed Wei Yong and regained control of the Wei Wu Soldiers, an accident happened, and Lord Lord Xinling was assassinated. Although the new King of Wei, King Zeng of Wei, had some ambition and wanted to revitalize the majesty of the Wei Wu Soldiers, with the power changing hands several times, combined with the lack of great generals in Wei Guo, the name of the Wei Wu Soldiers ultimately declined completely.

The old soldier from the Wei Wu Soldiers said in a deep voice: "Earlier, when the Qin state sent troops to attack the city, they all launched attacks directly toward Daliang City, using those elite siege weapons to climb the city wall regardless of death. Today, although the Qin state has also sent troops, it looks more like a feint..."

"If something is abnormal, there must be a problem. We must be on guard!"

The old soldier's tone was a bit serious.

The young soldiers immediately cheered up.

The fact that the Qin army feigned an attack without actually attacking soon caught the attention of the Wei army on the walls of Daliang City. Many people realized that there might be a problem this time and raised their guard one after another. Besides that, they were not overly nervous. No matter what tricks the Qin army wanted to use, relying on the solidity of Daliang City, they could still block the Qin army's attack.

Behind the Qin army, on a temporary tower about three feet high, the Qin army's main general Wang Ben looked down from a high position, his vision passing through the dense military formation, and he glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and then his eyes fell on Su Xuan beside him.

"｀ 」Mr. Su, next, it's up to your performance!"

His voice was cold, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to see how Su Xuan would break the city.

Su Xuan smiled indifferently, and in the next instant, he took a step.

In Wang Ben's horrified expression, he walked through the air, stepping out from the three-foot-high tower, but did not fall directly to the ground, but instead walked in mid-air.

This scene made Wang Ben horrified.

He knew a little about Su Xuan's background, but mostly he just regarded him as a wandering sorcerer who was pretending to be a ghost. Seeing Su Xuan's move now, Wang Ben immediately realized that Su Xuan was definitely a top-tier expert.

But even as a top-tier expert, possessing unparalleled light-body techniques, wanting to break the city with one's own strength was still a wishful thinking.

Su Xuan didn't care about Wang Ben's thoughts. Walking out from the tower behind the army, he walked in mid-air, several feet with one step. In a short while, he arrived above the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers also noticed Su Xuan and showed horror, but the quality of the Qin army was indeed excellent. Even so, it did not cause a commotion. Besides the fact that Su Xuan came from their side, another reason was that Dian Qing had brought them greater shock that day. By comparison, what was Su Xuan walking in mid-air?

In an instant, Su Xuan arrived from above the Qin army to the front of the Qin army, and then walked step by step toward Daliang City.

Daliang City was extremely high. The Wei soldiers on the city wall had been closely observing the movements of the Qin army. Suddenly seeing a person walking from above the Qin army, many people felt as if they had seen a ghost or a god.

Immediately after, the Wei army general on the city wall gave the order, "Fire arrows at me!"

No matter what the background of this person was, or what kind of sorcery he used to walk in mid-air, just because he came from the Qin army's side, he must not be allowed to use this to climb the city wall.
