Chapter 430 Old Qin people (1)

"It's so late, why is the prime minister so flustered? What happened?" Seeing Li Si's anxious look, Qin Zheng guessed that there might be some bad news, so he still spoke out.

"Your Majesty, Zhao's elite cavalry broke into Qin's northern border from Xiaoguan, Guyuan was lost this afternoon, and 100,000 Zhao's elite troops pressed Shanggui City." Li Si said softly.

"What?"

Qin Zheng looked at Li Si in shock when he heard this. His true energy that had been suppressing karma began to become chaotic. Qin Zheng's face turned red and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty!" Li Si shouted in shock when he saw Qin Zheng.

"It's okay for me! How could Zhao reach Guyuan City so quickly... No, I want to go to Shanggui." Qin Zheng said and was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, you are in such a bad condition now, you can't go anywhere. If you act casually again, the karma in your body will really be uncontrollable. No matter how much Qin's territory is lost, as long as you are here, our Qin is the strongest country in the world, but if you are gone, everything will be over!" Li Si shouted loudly.

Qin Zheng stood in the hall and looked outside. How could Shanggui City be compared with other cities? All the people living there were descendants of the Qin family, and all the tombs were filled with the ancestors of the Qin family. If Zhao occupied it, the roots of the entire Qin would be cut off!

"Humph! This Wei State is really smart. It took my Yiqu County and quietly let the Zhao army in. This is to let Zhao destroy my Qin State, and he will reap the benefits! I just won't let you succeed. Send an order to General Meng Kuo to kill me severely. I will let all 3,000 Wei Wu soldiers be buried under Hangu Pass." Qin Zheng stabilized his body and said to Li Si.

Among the seven powers, Wei State was only slightly stronger than Qi State. It was the easiest for Qin State to take over Wei State. It just depended on how much it paid. It didn't take action before because it was restrained by Han State and Zhao State. Now Qin Zheng's hatred for Zhao State is average, and his hatred for Wei State comes from the heart.

"Your Majesty, we cannot attack Wei now. If we anger Wei, we should send envoys to appease them and promise to cede land and pay compensation." Li Si said at this time.

"What? Now I want to act like a grandson to Wei? I wish I could go to Daliang and destroy the King of Wei right now." Qin Zheng shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, we have always been defensive in our battles with Wei. We have lost three cities and soldiers to Hangu Pass. Wei has already believed that Qin is showing weakness. At this time, we will destroy 3,000 Wei Wuzu, which will only make Wei more determined to fight.

On the one hand, we should seek peace with Wei and quickly withdraw the 20,000 Qin soldiers in Hangu Pass. Only then can Dasan Pass be defended. I can only stop the raid of Zhao's elite cavalry. There will be many opportunities to deal with Wei in the future. Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!" Li Si knelt down to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng closed his eyes and said nothing. After a long time, he spoke: "You go down!"

Li Si slowly withdrew when he heard this. He knew that Qin Zheng made this decision. As long as Qin could survive this time, Wei would be destroyed.

On the second day, some of the Qin envoys went to Wei and some went to Zhao. Li Si hoped to persuade some noble families to reduce the hostility of the King of Zhao to Qin. As long as Zhao's fighting spirit weakened and Qin's pressure could be reduced, this time was very critical.

At this time, the gates of Shanggui City were closed. The two thousand city guards in Shanggui City were staring at the Zhao cavalry in the distance getting closer and closer. They held their weapons tightly. Although they knew that these two thousand ordinary soldiers were no match for the Zhao army, they held the city wall tightly and did not retreat at all.

The wooden gongs in Shanggui City resounded throughout the streets. The patrol soldiers shouted in the streets and alleys of the city that the Zhao army was approaching Shanggui City, asking everyone to take up weapons to resist and calling on all young and strong people to go to the city wall for support.

But at this time, the young and strong men in Shanggui City had already gone to the battlefield, so there was no young and strong faction left.

A woman who was farming in the fields in the city heard the sound of the wooden gong and hurriedly threw down the hoe in her hand. She ran home and took out a long knife from the bottom of the box at home. It was the long knife her husband had used before.

She came to the main house with the long knife and saw an old woman putting armor on an old man. The old woman was trembling and had difficulty moving. It seemed that putting armor on the old man had exhausted all her strength.

"Dad, you are 65 years old. You should stay at home and let your daughter-in-law go!" The woman said to the old man.

"Humph! When I was young, I killed Wei Wuzu. Now it is an honor for me to go to the battlefield again. You stay and raise the child. Don't let Gousheng come back home with nothing!" The old man said to the woman while wearing armor.

When the old man was young, he always said that he had killed Wei Wuzu. But what is Wei Wuzu? It is the backbone of Wei State. The worst Wei Wuzu are all masters of Qidong Realm. The best of the old man is only the 6th level of Kaiyuan Realm in his life. How can he be a match for Wei Wuzu?

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Today, the old man mentioned this again for the first time and no one refuted him.

"Dad, let your daughter-in-law go too! The old Qin people can only die standing, not kneeling. Today, the city is broken and the family is ruined. There is no other choice." The woman looked at the old man and pleaded.

The old man put on his armor, took out an old long spear from the top of the wardrobe, and then took out an exquisite spear head from the bottom of the cabinet and put it in place. He tried it in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, he no longer shook when he walked, and his whole body became majestic and upright.

"Let's go!" The old man said to his daughter-in-law.

The daughter looked at her elderly grandmother standing in the house, and then looked at her four children in the distance. The eldest child was already 7 years old this year. He watched his grandfather and mother go out with weapons and watched quietly. His younger brothers and sisters were still young and wanted to go to her when they saw their mother, but she stopped them.

The woman looked at her eldest son, gave him one last smile, and left with a big knife. His neighbors, like this family, picked up their weapons and ran to the wall of Shanggui City.

Lian Po stood on the wall of Shanggui City. He watched countless Qin people rushing from all directions, and then died tragically under the long spears of Zhao's elite cavalry.

It took only more than ten minutes for the Zhao army to attack the wall of Shanggui City. The gate was quickly opened and all the Zhao elite cavalry were entering the city quickly. However, the fighting in the city did not stop, but intensified.

The corpses in the gate of Shanggui City were piled up more than one person high, and the Zhao elite cavalry could only enter Shanggui City while transferring the corpses. Countless Qin people came from all directions. They fought bravely with the Zhao army without fear of death. In the end, the Zhao army was also killed.

Lian Po looked at a woman covered in blood rushing towards him with a wooden sword. The woman was only in the Yunqi realm. She might have never held a sword in her life. She shouted and chopped his heavy armor with a ferocious wooden sword.

This wooden sword was just made of ordinary wood. It was not even a tickle for Lian Po. But seeing that the attack was ineffective, she came to kill him again. After more than ten consecutive chops, the woman was already exhausted, but her eyes were fixed on him, full of endless hatred.

Lian Po's heart was touched by something at this moment. He had fought countless battles in his life and had fought with the Qin State hundreds of times, but under the eyes of this woman, his heart was actually shaken.

At this time, a Zhao soldier came over quickly, stabbed the woman to death with a gun, and quickly ran to other places. Lian Po watched the woman slowly fall to the ground, stretched out his hand and slowly fell down. He listened to the constant shouting and killing sounds coming from Shanggui City, and came to the wall of Shanggui City.

The wall had been completely occupied by Zhao soldiers. As soon as Lian Po climbed the wall, he heard a powerful explosion in Shanggui City. He knew that it was a self-detonation of the Foundation Building Realm and the Zhao soldiers.

In this kind of street fighting in the city, the self-detonation of the Foundation Building Realm is the smallest. Shanggui City is the ancestral land of the Qin State, and it is normal to have a Foundation Building Realm. It is profitable for Zhao to exchange a hundred soldiers for a Foundation Building Realm self-detonation.

The battle lasted for three days. In the end, the Zhao army had massacred Shanggui City to the point where there were few people left. Of the 160,000 Shanggui City residents, only less than 30,000 people were left. Among these 30,000 people, less than 10% were over 9 years old.

The Zhao army lost more than 4,000 people in this battle. Some Zhao soldiers were so bloodthirsty that their minds were overwhelmed by karma. They killed anyone they saw. Lian Po had no choice but to let the Zhao soldiers kill their teammates with their own hands.

It is said that the battle of Shanggui City lasted for three days. The Qin State was urgently dispatching troops from Hangu Pass to Sanguan Pass. If the Zhao State attacked Xianyang City, the entire Qin State would be in real danger.

In Xianyang City, there were only a few old servants and maids in the mansion of a family. There were no young people here. A dozen people were surrounding an old man outside the family ancestral temple. The old man looked very old but his eyes were bright.

"Grandpa, how did you wake up?" An old man asked the old man.

"Haha! I came out to get some fresh air after sleeping for a long time. Go and get my armor and weapons." The old man said to his grandson.

"This... Grandpa, you..." The head of the aristocratic family looked at the old man and was speechless. Many people behind him had never seen this old man who came out of his ancestral temple, but everyone knew that this was their ancestor when they saw the head of the family's expression.

"What? Now that you are the head of the family, grandpa's words are no longer effective? Or have you defeated all my armor and weapons?" The old man looked at the head of the aristocratic family and said.

"Grandson dare not!" After the head of the family said this, he asked the clan members to bring a set of old armor and weapons, and the old man asked them to put them on him.

"Okay, prepare a horse for me, I'm leaving, take good care of the house!" The old man said to his grandson.

The head of the aristocratic family looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and tears fell. How could the family members behind him not know why the ancestor woke up when they saw this? They all knelt in front of the old man, and someone brought the best horse in the family for the ancestor.

The old man jumped onto the horse's back, holding his big sword in his hand. One can see that the sword is a bit heavy for him now. The old man has been sleeping for decades and his blood and energy are much weaker than when he was young. I don't know if he can still dance now.
