Text Chapter 186 The Secret Road of Handan City (Second Update)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking at the densely packed enemy troops under the city wall, at the top of Handan City, a Korean general licked his dry lips bitterly.

    It was already the eleventh day. Although the height and thickness of the city wall had blocked waves of siege battles, he knew very well that this kind of defense would not last long.

    The originally beautiful city head was in tatters, and most of the blue stone slabs were stained with bright red, which was dyed with the blood of countless people.  One by one, Korean soldiers risked their lives on the city wall to block the enemy soldiers climbing up using ladders below.

    The archers kept setting up their bows and shooting arrows towards the city. Many people's hands had begun to twitch slightly, which was the result of the continuous pulling of the bows.  In the past few days, the soldiers on the city had hardly had any rest. Many of them were not injured but collapsed due to exhaustion due to long-term high pressure.

    "kill!"

    Not far away, several enemy troops wearing Qin army clothes broke through the blockade of Korean soldiers defending the city and went directly to the city wall.  And as this point was broken through, a chain reaction seemed to occur. Soon, more than 20 Qin soldiers in that small area attacked the city.  The combat effectiveness of this group of Qin soldiers was obviously several levels higher than that of the Korean soldiers on the city wall. Nearly two dozen people were killed in a short period of time, and all Korean soldiers within a distance of more than ten meters dropped their helmets and removed their armor.  .

    In a short period of time, several city walls had to be breached. More and more Qin soldiers climbed onto the city wall. Facing the wolf-like Qin soldiers, the Han soldiers almost needed two to three people to stop them.  one.  Although there were not many people on the other side of the wall, it had a very big impact.

    "Follow me! Fight these sons of bitches back!"

    A general is not good at first sight.  Immediately leading a group of relatively elite-looking soldiers, they headed towards the several city walls occupied by the Qin army to kill them.  This general has good martial arts skills, and he swings the long sword in his hand repeatedly, and those tough Qin soldiers often fall within one or two rounds.  He was beheaded on the spot.

    And the group of elite soldiers behind him are not weak in strength, and they seem to be specially prepared for times like this. Each of them has never been consumed before joining the battlefield to recuperate, and now they are not in the same state as those who have gone through it.  Countless soldiers of the Qin army were fighting.

    Although it is somewhat weaker overall, under the leadership of that general, after paying a certain price.  Finally, the last wave of Qin soldiers who climbed onto the wall were beaten back.

    Soon after, the roar of Ming Jin¡¯s retreating troops came from the distance, and then the crazy Qin army finally retreated.  And on top of the city, no matter it is the lowest level soldier.  The general, who usually had a high status, seemed to be exhausted at this moment, and suddenly sat down on the city wall.

    "Repelled"

    The general with the highest status present looked at the tattered armor on his body, and the long sword in his hand also had numerous gaps.  A terrifying scar stretched from the rupture of his chest armor to his waist.  Just now, if one of his lieutenants hadn't tried his best to block it with his body, he might have become one of the countless corpses on the city.

    Some Korean soldiers who still have strength.  Start sorting out some of the corpses on the city wall.  The corpses of the comrades were put aside, while the corpses of the Qin soldiers were piled randomly in a corner.

    Although it is not necessary to throw down the corpses of these Qin soldiers.  But no one would be willing to properly dispose of the enemy's corpse, just like a dead pig.  Stacked into a small mountain.

    At this moment, in Handan City, in a large area that was originally the palace of King Zhao, but was later demolished and rebuilt, the King of Han and some respectable scholar-bureaucrats all looked panicked at this moment.

    Although they did not directly face a brutal offensive and defensive battle, they still knew that if this continued, Handan City would be broken sooner or later!

    "Your Majesty! This cannot continue like this. I suggest that Your Majesty, you should let the Guards protect you and evacuate as soon as possible after dark tonight!"

    I don¡¯t know which scholar-official¡¯s voice came from, but at this moment, some people present had different expressions.  There were those who were against it, and there were those who were in support of it. It was very noisy and chaotic.

    "No! Your Majesty is the backbone of all the soldiers. Once your Majesty leaves, the soldiers who are still fighting to protect the city on the city wall will definitely be heartbroken!"

    As expected, some of the scholar-bureaucrats disagreed. Most of these people were young people, most of whom were in their twenties or thirties.  And those who were older, those in their forties, fifties or even older, all believed that Handan City could no longer be defended and the King of Han must flee.

    "You can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. As long as your Majesty is still there, we will still have a chance. Even if the city of Handan is destroyed, we still have the Dongjun area, where we still have about 20,000 troops. When we arrive,  When the time comes, we will hold on to reinforcements from other countries, thinking thatThat Zhang Han didn't have the ability to fight against the multinational coalition on his own.  "

    All of a sudden, the two sides were arguing endlessly, but King Han himself sat there silently.  No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, but his expression was very bad. Even if it was hidden deeply, traces of panic and uneasiness could still be seen.

    "Your Majesty."

    Finally, after being silent for a long time, the old man who was the teacher of King Han and the elder of the Three Dynasties finally spoke.

    "Teacher, what can you do?"

    It can be seen that the more than ten days of defending the city made King Han worried every day, and he lost his former composure.

    "If reinforcements are not seen within two days, then your Majesty, please leave Handan City."

    The old man spoke very slowly and his voice was not very loud, but at this moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet.  Everyone's eyes were fixed on this veteran of three dynasties.

    "Taifu! When your Majesty arrives"

    "Needless to say, for us, as long as your Majesty is still alive, there is hope." The old man stopped the rest of the people's voices, then opened his eyes that looked old and dim, and looked at King Han in front of him, his face  There was a slight smile on his face, "I have sent people to Sishui County without your permission before. Unfortunately, it seems that even if they agree to send troops, they can't keep up. But it doesn't matter. If your Majesty evacuates Handan by then,  After the city, when we arrive at East County, once the child Qin Jia in the south moves, your Majesty can go to Surabaya County and seek protection there."

    Sishui County?  Everyone looked at each other when they heard this name, and most of them even looked confused, obviously not understanding what the old man meant at all.

    "Sishui County, teacher, do you mean to find King Chu Huai of Chu State?"

    It can be seen that King Han is somewhat unhappy on his face.  After all, in terms of status, he and King Huai of Chu were equal. How could he put down his status and go to Chu State to seek asylum?  Once that happens, King Han will be disgraced, and even whether he can rise again in the future is unknown.  At least if it were him, King Chu Huai came to seek protection when he was desperate. He might agree, but he would never give King Chu Huai a chance to make a comeback again.

    "You can't do it, Your Majesty! You can't do it, Tutor!"

    The other scholar-bureaucrats all screamed in shock. This kind of retreat almost cut off all opportunities for King Han!

    "Teacher, you" If the person who said this was not an old man, King Han would have been so angry that he asked the guards outside to come in and take away the person!  But even so, King Han's face became even more ugly.

    As if he didn't care about King Han's face or the suspicious and angry eyes of the others, the old man slowly stood up from the chair, then took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to King Han.  "Your Majesty, this is the token of my Zhang family. If that time comes, Your Majesty can use this token to find Liu Bang's military advisor in Surabaya County. I think after seeing this thing, Your Majesty will still  There is a chance to come back.¡±

    Although he didn¡¯t understand what the old man meant, King Han also saw that the old man was not what he thought just now, but what kind of plan he should have.  Subconsciously, he took the piece of jade in his hand and looked down. He saw that the word "Zhang" was also engraved on it.

    "Liu Bang? Grand Tutor, are you talking about the Liu Bang of Pei County who was born in a lowly position and relied on luck to survive in a county, and who took refuge with King Huai of Chu some time ago?"

    Suddenly, a scholar-official asked in an uncertain tone.

    "That's the man." Nodding, the old man sat back on the chair again. His health was not good. It was not easy for him to survive to this day at his old age.

    "What's the use of a little Liu Bang?!"

    King Han was full of questions, but although he had doubts in his heart, he also knew to some extent that the old man in front of him, whom he respectfully called his teacher, was loyal to the Han royal family. Since the old man gave such an order, he should have his own reasons.

    Ignoring everyone¡¯s doubtful and puzzled glances, the old man closed his eyes, and a middle-aged figure who was fifty or sixty years similar to him, but about forty years old, flashed in his mind.

    "I hope that person can still consider it because of the same bloodline"

    The sky was once again shrouded in darkness, which also heralded that Handan City once again repelled the siege army.  Just when the siege team and the defenders were seizing this short time to rest, inside the city, somewhere in a seemingly inconspicuous house, a sound suddenly came from a bluestone slab, and then the bluestone slab on the ground  It was suddenly opened, and then a dark cave underneath was revealed.

    A head popped out of the hole, and after looking around, he found that no one was there, so he quickly climbed out of it, followed by one after another.Soon, more than twenty black figures appeared in this deserted house.

    When the last person came out of the hole in the ground, he carefully covered the bluestone slab again. No one would have thought that there was such a secret passage here.

    "This is Handan City?" A voice sounded from the dark shadow.  (To be continued)
