Chapter 361

“Charge!”

“Kill!”

In an instant, all the Zhao soldiers had high morale, letting out deafening roars.

The Qin army’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

Although the Zhao soldiers killed just now were only small characters, they could still stir up the ferocity of the Qin army.

Especially after seeing Zhao Zhu kill even his own personal guards, the Qin army, no matter how stupid, realized that Zhao Zhu was prepared to go all out and use all the strength of Changping.

“Quick, send the crossbow troops to suppress, don’t let the Zhao army get close!”

Zhao Zhu’s goal was very clear: to hold the south city gate.

“Fire!”

“Swish swish swish…”

The Qin army reacted very quickly, immediately mobilizing the crossbow troops to shoot at Changping.

After one round of volley fire, the Zhao army suffered heavy losses.

“Kill!”

Zhao Zhu did not hesitate, waving his big saber and charging toward the south city gate.

“Stop him!”

The defending troops on the Zhao side also hurriedly met them, and the two sides fought fiercely at the city gate.

“Boom!”

This time, Zhao Zhu did not hold back at all, directly exploding with all his power, his big saber sweeping across the army, killing one Qin soldier after another who blocked his way.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the Zhao side lit up, and they also exploded with their greatest courage.

In their eyes, Zhao Zhu was now like a god who had saved them.

They believed that following Zhao Zhu’s charge would surely lead to the greatest victory and hold the city wall.

For a time, the Zhao army’s morale was greatly boosted, killing the Qin army until they retreated steadily.

The Qin army commander’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: “All soldiers, listen to the order: do not get entangled in battle, you must take the south city gate in the shortest time!”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, all the Qin soldiers changed their strategy, attacking instead of defending, constantly consuming the Zhao army.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhu’s expression became even uglier.

“General, our army’s casualties are getting higher and higher. If this continues, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…” the adjutant said worriedly.

“Are you afraid?” Zhao Zhu stared coldly at the adjutant.

The adjutant was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling: “This subordinate dares not!”

“Hmph!” Zhao Zhu snorted coldly: “If you don’t dare, then shut your mouth for me!”

The adjutant hurriedly shut his mouth.

Zhao Zhu took a deep breath and whispered: “Changping cannot be broken. Even if it is to be broken, it must be after the Qin army has suffered more than half casualties.”

“Pass the order down: the whole army is to enter the battle. At all costs, even if it means total annihilation, we must delay the Qin army’s pace! Think of your wives, daughters, and parents in the Zhao capital! Once Changping is broken, the long sabers in the hands of the Qin army will pierce their chests!”

“Yes!”

The adjutant hurriedly went down to carry out the task.

On the other side, the Qin army’s ten-thousand-man commander Li Dian saw this scene, his eyes rolling around, and after a moment, he shouted loudly: “Archers, aim at Zhao Zhu, fire!”

... . 0

“Swish swish swish!”

Rows of crossbows were fired, and dense feathered arrows flew toward Zhao Zhu.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhu’s pupils shrank, and he immediately dodged.

But this gave the Qin army an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, Zhao Zhu couldn’t resist and soon fell into danger.

“Damn it!”

Zhao Zhu gritted his teeth, cursed secretly, and hurriedly shouted: “Form up!”

Upon hearing this, all the Zhao soldiers began to move, shield soldiers in front, spearmen in the back, forming a formation that was extremely common yet extremely effective on the battlefield.

However, just at this moment, a black torrent poured in.

It was the Qin armored cavalry.

The Zhao soldiers’ expressions changed drastically; they didn’t expect the Qin army to have this trick, and immediately turned to meet them.

“Da da da!”

Although the Zhao side had high morale, they were few in number, and facing the Qin armored cavalry’s attack, they could only retreat steadily.

However, Zhao Zhu did not panic, and he shouted: “Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy!”

“Kill!”

The Zhao army did not show weakness, picking up their weapons one after another to meet the Qin iron cavalry.

Soon the two sides collided.

“Boom!”

Zhao Zhu’s big saber slashed over, and a Qin soldier didn’t have time to dodge, directly being slashed and flying out, falling heavily to the ground, vomiting a lot of blood, and then died.

But the armored cavalry following closely behind were not affected in the slightest, rushing straight at Zhao Zhu.

“Block!”

Zhao Zhu raised his saber to block.

“Clang!”

A sound of metal collision rang out, and a huge force was transmitted. Even though Zhao Zhu’s martial arts were extraordinary, facing this huge force, he couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.

“Kill!”

But Zhao Zhu did not regret it. After steadying his body, he shouted and continued to charge forward.

Fighting with the armored cavalry.

“Puchi!”

But soon, Zhao Zhu was pierced through the shoulder by an arrow, and his whole body fell to the ground.

“Clang!”

Following closely behind, an iron hammer smashed onto his head, directly knocking him unconscious.

“Haha, this Zhao Zhu only has this much ability, kill him!”

A Qin cavalryman laughed wildly, grabbed Zhao Zhu, and threw him onto the back of his mount.

Then he headed straight for the Zhao army camp.

“No!”

Zhao Zhu’s adjutant was shocked and hurriedly drew the sword at his waist and rushed over.

But even if his strength was extremely fierce, he was definitely no match for a cavalry team of thousands.

After all, at the level of a million-man melee, the role that individual martial arts could play was simply too small.

What’s more, this time there were five thousand armored cavalry.

Relying on Zhao Zhu alone, there was simply no way to stop them.

“Kill!”

Five thousand armored cavalry were like fierce tigers, rushing into the Zhao army camp, taking away countless lives.

“General! General!”

Everyone in the Zhao army felt their hearts fall to the bottom.

He never expected that he, who thought he had the advantage, would encounter a counterattack from the Qin army at the critical moment, leading to the collapse of the Zhao army and becoming lambs to be slaughtered.

“Kill!”

“Kill them all!”

The armored cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue and slaughter crazily.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Zhao army was completely slaughtered and scattered. ....

“I want to see how the words of that kid Su Hang, that I will become a person cold-shouldered by thousands, will come true?”

Bai Qi looked calmly at the front, where the fierce Battle of Changping was breaking out.

Although the battle losses were already astonishing, Bai Qi’s expression remained unchanged.

Normal.

Where in war are there no deaths?

Seeing that Changping could not be taken for a long time, and the Qin army was already showing signs of decline under constant fierce attacks.

Bai Qi said: “Retreat. Set up camp and rest five miles outside Changping.”

“Yes!”

Soon, the Qin army began to withdraw.

However, the people on the Zhao side felt relieved when they saw the Qin army withdrawing.

Because they knew that the Qin army’s goal was Changping, and now that they had withdrawn, it meant that today’s Battle of Changping was over.

As for the Qin State’s losses, that had nothing to do with them.

Of course, some people reminded Bai Qi that the Qin army’s losses were too great now, and even if they withdrew, it would be difficult to escape the blame of those who love to show off, so it would be better to make plans early.

But to this, Bai Qi smiled indifferently and said: “If we can’t even conquer a mere Changping, how can we talk about unifying the world in the future?”
