My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 192 Did we win?No!We're off track!

Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharp knife!

Wei Wangzeng's words pierced Pang Nuan's heart like a sharp blade.

What is 'sure enough'?
What does 'lose again' mean?
Wei Wangzeng's words showed that he did not think Pang Nuan could win this battle from the beginning!

But the failure of the Five Kingdoms' campaign to conquer Qin made Pang Nuan really unable to gain the trust of Wei Wangzeng.

The fall of Xiuyu City left Pang Nuan speechless. He could only hand it over bitterly: "Foreign officials are ashamed of the King of Wei!"

Wei Wangzeng helped Pang Nuan up with both hands and sighed with emotion: "The fault is not the general's."

"Qin is so strong, how can a general claim victory?"

Wei Wangzeng was not dissatisfied with Pang Nuan, but felt desperate about the current situation.

The Wei State was also powerful in the past.

And unlike South Korea's Wannian Lao Er, in the early stages of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, the Wei State was assisted by Wu Qi, Pang Juan and other great talents of the world, and it could be called the overlord in the early Warring States Period!

In the Battle of Yin and Jin, Wu Qi defeated 50 Qin troops head-on with only [-] new Wei soldiers!
At that time, the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty could defeat ten of the tigers and wolves of the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, the Wei Dynasty dared to clamor for war with the world!

However, from King Hui of Wei to King Zeng of Wei, Wei successively had five generations of kings. Each of these five generations of kings would lose a piece of territory to Qin.

Wei Wangzeng's great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were beaten violently by Qin one after another.

When it was Wei Wangzeng's turn, Wei Wangzeng was no longer beaten violently by Qin.

At this time, Wei's national power was unprecedentedly weak. King Zeng of Wei was defeated by Qin with an average of losing a piece of territory every two years and nearly ten cities a year!

All this has caused a psychological shadow on the king of Wei, and even formed a phobia towards Qin!

The king of Wei was so angry that he couldn't drink the blood of Ying Zheng.

If there is a chance to defeat Da Qin, Wei Wangzeng will do whatever it takes!
But in Wei Wangzeng's subconscious mind, Qin was so powerful and invincible.

Even if King Zeng of Wei tried his best, he could not shake the Qin State at all!

Sensing the decadence in Wei Wangzeng's heart, Pang Nuan hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Qin is indeed tyrannical, but our five-nation coalition has also reached sixty miles east of Xianyang City."

"If the morale of our army had not been scattered, Qin might have been destroyed by now!"

"In this battle, Qin sent troops to Zhao and Wei at the same time, which was Qin's biggest failure."

"With the combined strength of Zhao and Wei, why should we fear Qin?"

Wei Wangzeng calmed down his expression and said solemnly, "What General Pang said is true."

"Qin Wangzheng is too arrogant!"

"With the strength of the Wei Dynasty alone, it is difficult for us to resist the Qin army."

"It is difficult for Zhao State alone to resist Qin State's military front."

"However, if Wei and Zhao work together, Qin will return without success!"

Wei Wangzeng's fear of Qin was very obvious.

Even if he said harsh words, he could only say that there was no return, but he did not dare to mention that there was no return.

Pang Nuan immediately handed over his hand: "What King Wei said is absolutely true!"

"Qin is strong, but the combined efforts of all the heroes are stronger than Qin."

"This is the meaning of cooperation!"

Wei Wangzeng changed the topic: "Has General Pang received any military reports recently?"

Pang Nuan shook his head: "The Qin army besieged the city with heavy troops. It is difficult for a small group of messengers to defeat the siege."

"This general has not received military reports for more than half a month."

King Wei Zeng said in a warm voice: "General Pang doesn't even know about General Hu's death."

Pang Nuannru was struck by lightning and looked at Wei Wangzeng in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"News of General Hu's death?"

"Which general is he?"

Wei Wangzeng sighed softly: "He is the general of your country, the general of the army."

Pang Nuan's heart trembled suddenly.

Hu Zhuo had a close personal relationship with Pang Nuan, and had served as Pang Nuan's lieutenant. The relationship between the two was both mentor and friend.

Pang Nuan was able to retire without any worries after the Five Kingdoms War against Qin because he had Hujue to support the situation.

In Pang Nuan's view, Hu Zou will be the backbone of Zhao State in the future!
Not only that, Hu Zhe was the main general of Zhao State in this battle and the commander-in-chief of Zhao State's North Route Army against Qin State.

But now you tell me that Hu Zou will die in battle? !
Pang Nuan's heart felt severe pain and contraction as if someone had punched him hard.

Pang Nuan's long-term weakened spirit and battered body could not bear the sudden bad news, and he stumbled to the ground when his vision went dark.

"General Pang!"

"General!"

Zhao Huan and Wei Qi rushed to help Pang Nuan, but Wei Wangzeng grabbed Pang Nuan's arms first and shouted loudly: "Send the doctor quickly!"

Pang Nuan grabbed Wei Wangzeng's hand, stood up straight with perseverance, and shook his head gently: "I will be fine."

"May I ask King Wei, how did General Hu die in battle?"

"How much of the main force of our Zhao army is left?"

"Is Handan City still safe?"

Wei Wangzeng immediately said: "Ten days ago, King Zhao ordered General Hu Zui to fight decisively as soon as possible."

"When General Hu took the initiative to send troops to look for fighter opportunities, Qin General Wang Jian seized the opportunity and charged directly at the Chinese army."

"General Hu's troops were defeated, and more than [-] Zhao troops were killed in the battle. General Hu himself also died in the rebellion."

Pang Nuan said bitterly: "Did you lose at the hands of Wang Jian?"

"General Hu was defeated unjustly."

Pang Nuan had experience fighting Wang Jian and knew something about Wang Jian.

Although Hu Zhe was good at fighting, there was still a certain gap between him and Wang Jian.

King Wei Zeng said in a warm voice: "General Pang, don't worry."

"At the time of the war, Lieutenant General Li Mu took over the power of General Hu Zou to reorganize his troops and continue fighting with the Qin army."

"Now Qin is still outside Wu'an City."

Pang Nuan frowned slightly: "General Li Mu?"

Pang Nuan knew a little about Li Mu, but not much.

Pang Nuan didn't know what Li Mu's abilities were, and whether he, who was good at fighting nomads, could cope with Wang Jian's tactics.

Wei Wangzeng turned his wrist and held Pang Nuan's hand. He looked at Pang Nuan sincerely: "General Pang, Zhao Guo has no worries now." "But I, the great Wei Dynasty, have already faced Qin's military front."

"If Wei dies, Zhao will be besieged by Qin on three sides."

"If Wei survives, then Wei and Zhao will unite. Why should we fear Qin?"

What Pang Nuan had just said personally was returned in full by King Zeng of Wei.

Pang Nuan just felt like a piece of old phlegm was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.

Today, Pang Nuan still doesn't understand that from the initial self-destruction to the later recognition of the alliance, Wei Wangzeng just hoped that Zhao Guo would keep his word and that Pang Nuan would continue to support Wei Guo.

Instead of abandoning Wei and returning to Zhao after learning the news of Hu Zou's death in battle!
But will Pang Nuan return the favor?
Pang Nuan cupped his hands and said, "What the King of Wei said is what my King thinks."

"Zhao and Wei are united, why should we fear Qin!"

"Therefore, my king sent his last general to rescue Wei."

"If Qin attacks our country, Zhao, in the future, Wei will also send troops to rescue us."

After a fierce battle, there were only more than [-] soldiers from Zhao under Pang Nuan's command.

The [-] remnant soldiers brought back to the Zhao battlefield were not enough to damage the morale of the army, and were useless in the overall situation.

But if the more than [-] troops under Ying Chengyu follow Pang Nuan back to the Zhao battlefield, then the balance of the war will be completely tilted!

And how can the relationship between Pang Nuan and Zhao Wangyan be compared with the relationship between Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng?
Before Zhao Wangyan gives a clear transfer order, Pang Nuan must continue to implement the strategy formulated by Zhao Wangyan!

Wei Wangzeng struggled in his heart, but finally said in a deep voice: "This is natural!"

Then Wei Wangzeng quickly changed the topic: "How does General Pang think we should defend the country next?"

Pang Nuan knew that Wei Wangzeng was deliberately avoiding the topic of rescuing Zhao, but Pang Nuan did not urge Wei Wangzeng to give a guarantee.

After all, now that rituals and music have collapsed, not to mention verbal promises, even blood-based covenants can be torn apart at will.

As long as Ying Chengyu's troops can stay in Wei for one more day, Pang Nuan will make money!
So Pang Nuan followed King Wei and changed the subject: "I wonder if King Wei can build more walls?"

Wei Wangzeng immediately nodded: "General Pang, come with me!"

Following Wei Wang Zeng into the city, Pang Nuan saw a large number of civilians busy in Daliang City.

"The fire here is not strong enough, how can we ignite the land?"

"Don't be afraid of the heat! Burn and massage at the same time. The harder you burn, the deeper the massage will go. Don't stop!"

"Hey! Ha! Hey! Smash it hard!"

It is still cold and freezing, so in order to dig out the clay that built the city, the farmers had to use firewood to start a fire, raise the temperature of the clay, and then dig it out.

The clay after being dug out was transported to the foot of the city wall, where lime soil, sand and limestone were added in proportions by craftsmen, stirred evenly, and finally poured into the wooden frame that had already been embedded in the inner wall of the city wall.

After further compaction, the Daliang city wall became thicker again.

The king of Wei Zeng said loudly: "General Pang said that the Qin army has trebuchets that can destroy the city wall. Please thicken the city wall to defend it."

"I ordered all the people in Daliang City and surrounding villages to build the city, intending to make the wall of Daliang City at least twice as thick."

"General Pang thought that the Qin army's trebuchets might break our Daliang City!"

Looking at the city wall that was twice as thick as the wall of Xiuyu City and was still getting thicker, Pang Nuan finally felt relieved.

But even with such a strong city, Pang Nuan didn't think it could hold out for too long under the Qin army's trebuchet.

Pang Nuan bowed his hands and said solemnly: "Daliang City is strong."

"Sitting back and waiting for death is not the way to win the battle."

"The foreign minister will lead the Zhao army to camp outside the city, and they will be at odds with Daliang City!"

……

the other side.

After thoroughly inspecting Xiuyu City and confirming that there were no more invincible troops, Yafu climbed up to the east city gate tower which was still intact.

Kicking off the Wei national flag on the city gate tower, the eighth husband planted the Great Qin Xuanniu flag on the highest point of the city gate tower, and loudly shouted:
"The Qin Dynasty will be victorious! The general will be victorious!"

After more than a month of fierce fighting, Da Qin’s black bird flag was finally able to float over Xiuyu City!
The battle of Xiuyu City was a great victory, and even the fire-headed soldiers in the army were rewarded.

So all the Qin troops inside and outside the city cheered and roared:
"The Qin Dynasty will be victorious! The general will be victorious!"

Amidst the cheers that nearly overturned the city, Ying Chengyu rode into the city.

Looking at the collapsed city wall and the stones scattered on the ground, Ying Chengyu had complicated eyes.

For Ying Chengyu, this was his longest battle and the most stressful battle.

In order to win this battle, Ying Chengyu did everything he could.

Now, this battle has finally come to an end with victory!

Thousands of words gathered in my heart, and finally turned into a sigh of relief: "This battle is so difficult!"

The corners of Meng Wu's mouth twitched slightly.

Is this a difficult battle?

For a siege battle that often takes years, this battle can be considered a quick victory, isn't it?

Moreover, Ying Chengyu and Meng Wu took turns taking command during this battle, and could have one day off for every working day. The calculated working hours were not even as long as when they were in the imperial court.

Why is it so difficult?

The real difficulty is Pang Nuan, right?
Resisting the desire to complain, Meng Wu smiled and asked: "General, do you want to recruit local men to repair the city wall?"

It can be said that the walls of Xiuyu City are completely ruined.

If it is not renovated, Xiuyu City will be in a state of almost no protection, and its safety level will be approximately zero.

But Ying Chengyu shook his head: "Repairing Xiuyu City is something that should be considered after the war."

"Don't forget the purpose of our army's expedition!"

Meng Wu suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "It involves the Zhao army's strength."

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Yes, the soldiers can cheer for capturing Xiuyu City."

"But you and I shouldn't be distracted by Xiuyu City."

"Because our army is not here to destroy the city and take out the stronghold in this battle, but to involve as many Zhao troops as possible!"

"Now the Zhao army has only [-] troops and has been dragged into the battlefield of Wei. This is a failure for you and me."

"If we let those [-] Zhao troops run back to the Zhao battlefield, this battle will still be a failure even if I capture Xiuyu City!"

Looking towards the east, Ying Chengyu ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order to sing the song."

"Order Chaoge County Magistrate to immediately dispatch officials to take over Xiuyu City."

"Order the whole army."

"After three days of rest, we will set out for Daliang City!"
