After Zhao Gao used the net to send out a secret order.
Not long after.
Wang He, Meng Ao, and Wang Jian had all received Ying Zheng's secret edict.
Xinzheng!
This city, which had once belonged to the State of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn Period and was later occupied by the Han Country, had been surrounded by the 150,000 Qin soldiers led by Wang He.
As long as Wang He gave the order, Great Qin's soldiers would be able to flatten this thousand-year-old capital.
"General, this is a secret decree from His Majesty from Xianyang.”
The messenger spy of the Network came from afar. Wang He stopped his personal guards from blocking him. The messenger spy ran to Wang He's side and handed over the secret edict with both hands.
"You may leave. I understand."
Wang He took the secret edict and waited for the messenger to leave before opening it.
"Haha, as expected by Your Majesty, the Qi and Chu countries saw that our Qin country was attacking the Yan, Han and Zhao countries and wanted to surround Wei to save Zhao.”
After reading Ying Zheng's secret decree, Wang He burst out laughing.
Naturally, they had intentionally released the Han envoy from Qihe.
Otherwise, under the tight surveillance of the net.
It was impossible for Han Fei to go to the Chu and Qi countries from the Han Kingdom.
"I didn't expect that Han Fei, the ninth son of the King of Han, who went to the State of Chu and the State of Qi, convinced the two countries to send troops to attack the State of Qin together.”
As Wang He spoke, a smile flashed across his eyes.
"However, His Majesty has issued a secret order for us to take down the three capitals within three days. We can't relax our net anymore.”
Wang He thought.
"Pass down my order, attack the city."
Then, Wang He gave the order.
Taking down a capital in three days was indeed difficult.
Therefore, Wang He decided to fire all the heavy crossbows, stone bullets, and archers 'arrows at Xin Zheng City first, and then attack the city according to the situation.
Thus, in the history of the Warring States Period, the Han Kingdom's most miserable siege began.
Following Wang He's order.
The catapults and ballistae that had been pushed less than 100 meters away from Xinzheng opened fire.
Because they were going to attack the city this time, the stone bullets Wang He used were all over a hundred jin, and there were even two to three hundred jin stone bullets.
Therefore, after accelerating in the air, it would be fine if these stone bullets landed in the city.
They only destroyed some houses.
However, if these stone bullets landed on the city wall, there would be a pit there.
Especially those giant rock shells. If they hit the city wall, it would collapse.
As for the heavy crossbows fired by the ballistae, if they hit the soldiers guarding the city, they would not even leave a complete corpse.
If it hit the city wall, it would penetrate close to a meter deep.
In such a doomsday-like siege, the Han soldiers did not dare to show their faces.
Then, Wang He, who was riding on his horse, waved his hand to let nearly 30,000 archers with crossbows approach.
When they were about 50 meters away from the city wall.
All of the archers aimed at the city wall and the direction of New Zheng City in unison and began to fire arrows at the city.
Round after round of crossbow bolts were fired at the Han soldiers on the city walls and the ordinary people in Xin Zheng City.
After all the archers had finished shooting the arrows in the quiver.
Wang He sent cavalrymen to rob the few holes in the city wall that had just been smashed by the giant rock shells.
At the same time, he ordered the chariots to follow and ram the city gates.
The so-called charging chariot was a weapon specially developed by the Gongshu family for the Qin army to break through the city gate.
There were four wheels at the bottom, and the main axis was a giant tree with a diameter of nearly a meter. The head was sharpened and protected by metal. It was pushed by the soldiers to hit the city gate.
Perhaps it was because the soldiers of New Zheng City had yet to react.
Perhaps it was because of Wang He's simple and crude fighting style that the defenders of Xin Zheng City suffered heavy casualties and were unable to organize an effective counterattack.
Just like that, Xin Zheng City was destroyed.
It didn't take three days, but only one day.
"Hurry up and deal with the surrendered soldiers. Bring the royal family and officials of the Han Country back to Xianyang. We're rushing back to support His Majesty.”
After rushing into Xin Zheng City, Wang He urged them from behind.
……
Handan.
As the capital of Zhao State, this city had a much longer history than Xin Zheng.
Ever since King Wuling of Zhao promoted riding and archery, Zhao became one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
Zhao moved its capital to Handan. Handan had been the capital of Zhao for 158 years. Over time, Handan had become the political, economic, and cultural center of the north.
But at this moment, this century-old capital was covered in dark clouds.
The prosperous scene of the past was no longer there, and they were already surrounded by the 150,000 strong army of the Qin Country.
"General, Handan is not like Xinzheng and Ji City. The Zhao Country has been operating here for more than a hundred years and has already dug a moat ten meters wide and nine meters deep around Handan City. If we don't pay a certain price, we won't even be able to get close to the city walls, let alone take down this city.”
In the middle tent of the Qin army, the deputy general reported to Meng Ao.
"We didn't plan to attack in the first place. It should be about time, right?”
Meng Ao looked in the direction of Handan City and muttered to himself.
Not long after Meng Ao finished speaking, the sounds of fighting and killing came from Handan City.
Then, the voice died down.
The city gate of Handan City was opened, and a group of people rushed out and lowered the suspension bridge.
"Let's go, let's enter the city. We'll miss it for a long time at night.”
These people were spies that the Network had ambushed in the Zhao Country's defense army. They had suddenly rebelled.
The defenders of Zhao were caught off guard.
When they wanted to catch up, he would close the city gate.
However, it was already too late.
The Qin Country had thousands of troops that had crossed the suspension bridge and charged towards the city gate.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhao archers appeared on the city wall, wanting to shoot the Qin army that had rushed to the city gate.
However, just as he showed his head, he was already prepared and shot to death by the Qin archers holding crossbows.
"Handan City has fallen."
Meng Ao exclaimed.
As he spoke, Meng Ao's heart was filled with admiration for his own Ying Zheng's country.
If he had such a capable military spy to help him when he encountered the five countries 'alliance army, he would not have lost so badly.
