As Ying Zheng issued the decree, the Network Assassins swiftly delivered it to Wang Jian and the others.
Wang Jian received the order and unfolded the battle map to take a look. In the end, the army set out and charged towards Shangdi. Yang Ruihe and the other generals also led the army into Hanoi and Jingxing.
The Zhao commander knew that the Qin army had begun to attack and quickly led the army to meet the enemy.
Li Mu's army had already disintegrated, and the brave and good at fighting army of Zhao had disappeared. Sima Shang retired and returned to his hometown. There were not many truly talented generals in Zhao.
Wang Jian's army was already prepared and had already taken down Shangdi before Zhao Cong's army arrived. Yang Ruihe and the other generals had also achieved brilliant results. They had taken down Jingxing and Hanoi and were not far from Handan, the capital of Zhao.
"Zhao Cong's army retreated to Dongyang? That's good. It's just as His Majesty expected.”
Wang Jian received the battle report from the front. Zhao Cong's army was less than 20 li away from them. They had originally wanted to defend Shangdi, but now that he had taken down this city first, Zhao Cong did not dare to take back the lost land directly and could only retreat to Dongyang.
Dongyang was the gateway to Handan. Once Dongyang fell, Handan would be in danger.
"Are Yang Rui and the general here?”He took out the strategy map and looked at it. He had already formed a three-pronged attack. As long as he took Dongyang, he could attack Handan at any time.
"Marshal, Yang Rui and the general have already taken the city and are waiting for your orders.”
The deputy general reported happily.
Wang Jian stroked his beard and smiled.”
After the order was given, the army set off again. They abandoned the troublesome supplies and rushed towards Dong Yang with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Ying Zheng continued to increase his troops, and the number of Qin troops that had entered the State of Zhao had reached 400,000. His goal was to take down the entire State of Zhao with an absolute advantage.
In Dongyang, Zhao Cong had brought his army to this city and ordered his soldiers to build a fortress to defend against the Qin army's next attack.
However, before the fortress could be built, the scouts reported that the Qin army had already charged towards Dongyang. They were extremely fast and would reach Dongyang in an hour.
"What is it? How could he be so fast?" Zhao Cong's eyes widened in disbelief. The Qin army had just taken down Shangdi, how could they have arrived at Dongyang so quickly?
The two sides were not proportional in strength. If they really fought, Dongyang would be easily lost.
"Seize the time to set a trap, quick!”
He gave the order, and the soldiers hurriedly made arrangements. However, in less than two hours, the Qin army had already arrived at the city gates.
"Little brat Zhao Cong, quickly leave the city and die!”
Wang Jian was shouting at the city gates while Zhao Cong defended the city, unwilling to go out to fight.
However, this was only a temporary measure. In less than three days, Wang Jian broke through Dongyang.
At this moment, Ying Zheng's decree came again. The army rested in Dongyang for a month, and finally, together with Yang Ruihe and the other troops, they attacked Handan.
In less than half a month, Handan City was breached and the King of Zhao was captured by Wang Jian and sent directly to Xianyang City.
……
"King Zhao, oh King Zhao, I have the heart to cut you into a thousand pieces. Li Mu was a powerful general, but he died in your hands. It was not worth it. If Li Mu joined the Qin country, the Qin country would definitely be like a tiger with wings. What a pity, what a pity. You're a mediocre talent. You've wasted a talent for nothing.”
Ying Zheng was extremely disgusted by the fatuous and incompetent King of Zhao. Because the State of Zhao had been at war with the State of Qin for many years, the people of the State of Zhao knew some ways of war. However, this King Zhao was actually so useless. He did not have any foresight at all.
King Zhao knelt on the ground, his body trembling.
The winner was king and the loser was a bandit. He was only a king of a subjugated country now.
"Fortunately, if you weren't so incompetent, how could I have easily taken down the State of Zhao? It's just a pity that you're talented. Today, I'll kill you. I'll take your head to pay homage to the dead Li Mu.”
"Pass down my decree. Find Li Mu's corpse and bury him in the north of Xianyang City!”
"Your Majesty is wise and wise!"
The courtiers knelt down in admiration. Only King Zhao's body trembled even more violently. Now that Ying Zheng wanted to kill him, would he still have a chance to live?
No, of course not!
Even if there were martial arts experts in the Zhao Kingdom, no one would be willing to save him.
The State of Qin was strong, and it was difficult for the martial artists to rescue him. Moreover, the King of Zhao had buried the country of Zhao that had been revived for more than a hundred years. Not killing him to vent his hatred was already letting down the King of Zhao.
After the fall of Zhao, Ying Zheng established Handan Prefecture in Handan.
Two months later, Wang Jian and the other generals returned. Ying Zheng held a banquet to reward the returning soldiers.
"Dear ministers, I have something to discuss with you today. Han and Zhao were destroyed, but they were still far away from becoming emperors. Therefore, I plan to use troops again to expand the territory of Great Qin. How about it?”
