"Hidden mission triggered. Conquer Lianpo, one of the Four Great Generals of the Warring States Period. Reward: 10-year Cultivation Pill!”
Right after Lianpo surrendered, the cold mechanical voice of the system rang out in Baiqi's mind.
At the same time, something appeared in his hand.
Bai Qi opened his palm and found that there was something that looked like a pill in his hand.
This pill was grass-green in color and was crystal clear. It also emitted waves of herbal fragrance.
"Ten year cultivation pill?"
Bai Qi muttered softly. This should be the Ten Year Cultivation Pill that the system had mentioned.
Although he didn't know what effect this medicinal pill had, he felt that it was extraordinary when he heard the name.
He didn't expect that he would get such a pleasant surprise when he wanted to recruit Lianpo because he cherished his talent.
Bai Qi put away the pill in his hand, planning to go back and find a quiet place to consume it.
After all, there were too many people around. It would be bad if something strange or unexpected happened in public.
Following this, Baiqi ordered 5,000 Qin soldiers to be left behind to take care of the Zhao captives.
The remaining 20,000 Qin soldiers headed towards the north gate of Handan City.
At this moment, all the Zhao soldiers on the northern city gate had been transferred away by Lianpo. There was no one left, and the 20,000 Qin soldiers easily entered Handan City.
"The Qin army is attacking!"
"Handan City has fallen!"
When the commoners of Handan City saw the Qin army appear at the northern gate of Handan City, they were instantly shocked. They fled in all directions and hid, not daring to go out again.
All of them were on tenterhooks, afraid that the Qin army would start a massacre in Handan City.
However, what made them slightly relieved was that the Qin army did not start a massacre in the city.
After the Qin army entered the city, they immediately occupied the palace and various government offices.
At the same time, three groups of 5,000 soldiers each headed towards the east, south, and west gates.
By the time the three Qin troops arrived at the other three gates, the southern city wall had already been breached by the Qin army. The Qin army and the Zhao army on the city wall were engaged in a fierce battle.
After all, the Qin army was attacking the south, and Lianpo had taken away 5,000 soldiers from the south, so it was reasonable for the south to be breached.
On the west wall, the Qin army also began to climb up the wall.
Only the east side had a harder time. After all, Lianpo had taken 5000 soldiers from the west side. Only the east side had the most soldiers.
"Why would the Qin army appear in the city?”
"Has Handan City been breached?”
However, when the Zhao soldiers on the other three walls saw the Qin army appear behind them, they could not help but turn pale with fright.
Even their resistance had weakened because Handan City had already fallen. It was futile for them to resist with all their might. They could not change the situation at all.
"I surrender!"
"I surrender too!"
……
Finally, some of the Zhao soldiers couldn't take it anymore. They threw down their weapons and shouted.
With someone taking the lead, the entire Zhao army was like a domino effect. More and more Zhao troops threw down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Soon, the shouts in Handan City gradually weakened until they completely disappeared.
Zhao's capital, Handan City, was captured.
The Qin army had complete control of the situation in the city.
At this moment, the east, west, and south walls of Handan City were already covered in blood and corpses.
This intense battle lasted from dawn to dusk.
The uninjured Qin soldiers were escorting the captives of the Zhao army to check the corpses on and below the Handan city wall.
The injured Qin soldiers sat on the city wall and cleaned their wounds.
Whether it was the Qin or Zhao army, they all had tired expressions on their faces.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, stretching their figures very long. It shone on their faces and made them look especially serene.
They were all enjoying the moment of peace after the battle.
Some of the heavily injured soldiers gradually fell asleep and never woke up again.
……
On the official road to the north of Handan City, a general of the Qin army was leading a group of cavalrymen and standing on the road. A group of well-dressed people were kneeling on the roadside.
The Qin general was Baiqi's deputy general, Meng Ao. He led 15,000 cavalrymen to join up with the 5,000 cavalrymen from before and chased after the King of Zhao.
The luxuriously dressed people kneeling on the ground had different expressions. Some had stubborn expressions, while others were trembling.
These people were the nobles and ministers who had fled from the State of Zhao.
"I, I am a minister of Zhao. I, I am willing to surrender to Qin, Qin.”
Some of the cowards repeatedly kowtowed to Meng Ao.
"Where did King Zhao escape to?"
Meng Ao glanced at the nobles and ministers on the ground and said indifferently.
"Pei, if you want to kill or scrape, it's up to you. You want us to betray the King of Zhao?”
Of course, there were also some people with backbone who said unyieldingly.
"If you want to die, I will grant you your wish!”
"Kill them!"
When Meng Ao saw this, he coldly snorted. Then, he gave the order, and the minister of Zhao died tragically at the hands of the Qin army.
When the other nobles and ministers saw this, they were even more shocked.
"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell me, you'll all die.”
Meng Ao continued.
"That, that way. The King of Zhao ran that way.”
As soon as Meng Ao finished speaking, several people from the State of Zhao spoke up. However, the direction they pointed in was slightly different.
"You should know the consequences of lying!”
"Split up and chase!"
Meng Ao coldly snorted, then ordered the Qin cavalry to split up and give chase.
He had been ordered by General Baiqi to hunt down the King of Zhao. If the King of Zhao escaped, he would not be able to answer to the General.
"Yes, sir!" The cavalrymen behind Meng Ao responded and then chased after the direction pointed out by the ministers.
"Stop, don't run!"
Not long after, the Qin cavalry finally found the King of Zhao. They shouted and chased after him.
"The heavens are really going to kill me!"
Seeing this, the King of Zhao knew that he could no longer escape. He could not help but look up at the sky and sigh.
As he spoke, he pulled out the sword in his hand and committed suicide.
Rather than being humiliated by the Qin army, he might as well commit suicide.
This was the last dignity of an emperor.
When the Qin army saw this, they could only bring the King of Zhao's corpse back to report.
……
After the Qin army had gained complete control of Handan City, Baiqi's chariot slowly entered the city from the north gate.
At this moment, the streets of Handan City were empty. Both sides were occupied by the Qin army.
"I am the young master of the Qin country, Ying Yiren. I want to see Great General Baiqi!”
Just as Bai Qi was passing by a certain street, a loud shout rang out in the quiet street.
