Chapter 29: The Great Turning Point!

  As the Qin army gathered, the black tide was about to crash against Yongcheng City again. Unlike before, this time the tide still carried an overwhelming momentum, but Yongcheng City was already battered and bruised.

  No matter how majestic the reef is, it's still just a reef. Under the constant pounding of waves day after day, cracks will eventually appear, and with those cracks comes complete annihilation.

  The fate of the Wild King Castle is like a reef in the sea, perhaps it can temporarily resist the waves, but the final outcome has long been destined.

  The crown prince propped himself up with a bronze sword, his eyes gazing blankly at the outside of the city.

  "Wind, wind, strong wind!"

  The sound that came from the sidelines was the Qin army's angry roar. Their eyes, the murderous aura they emitted, all revealed their determination. As for the Han army, although they were resolute and in no way inferior to the Qin army, they were simply too few in number. The remaining two thousand Han soldiers plus several thousand young men, this was the Han army's last trump card.

  Even so, the Korean army was proud enough. In just under three days of war, the Korean army gave the Qin army, which had dominated the world for decades, an unprecedented heavy blow.

  Up to now, more than 400,000 soldiers of the Qin army have been killed or injured, with over 32,000 dead. Of course, the Han army also paid a heavy price, losing more than 25,000 lives and suffering over 6,000 serious injuries among its officers and men.

  If it weren't for the mighty Qin army, if it weren't for the heavy cavalry of the Han army displaying unimaginable combat power, and if it weren't for the tenacity of the Han defenders, perhaps the casualties of the Qin army would have been reduced by half. But this is a battlefield, and there are no ifs here.

  The Crown Prince believed that if there were still over 10,000 elite soldiers at hand, the Qin army would never have been able to push him into such a desperate situation. On the contrary, the Qin army might have waited for reinforcements on the spot or retreated after a long siege.

  This time, he really overestimated himself. The Qin army broke through the cauldron and surrounded Wangcheng from all sides. Wangcheng was completely cut off from the outside world and became a solitary city. At most two rounds of charging, Wangcheng will definitely be breached.

  Perhaps today is the day to die on the battlefield. I really don't want to give up. There are still many dreams that have not been realized. Korea has not yet become rich and powerful, and once I die, Korea will definitely face a chaotic situation. I wonder how far Korea can go after losing me!

  The crown prince knew that the violent eagle, who understood his own dangerous situation, would definitely be thinking of ways to rescue him. Perhaps reinforcements were already on their way, and even the Wei army had been mobilized. But for now, he really didn't have any more time.

  Time, time, what he lacked most was time. The crown prince wished that reinforcements would arrive, even if it were just a thousand-man squad.

  The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats, completely giving their backs to the Han and Wei armies. But would Bao Jue and the Wei army know? Would they seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? If they just went through the motions thinking they could hold on for a day, then the entire Wild King City would be thoroughly finished.

  Zhaoyun? Lian Po? Why haven't they appeared yet?!

  The crown prince's heart was burning with anxiety. Although his face remained calm as usual, his mind had already been filled with all sorts of thoughts!

  In his original plan, Zhao Jun stationed his troops outside Ye Wang City to confront the Qin army, while he and the Wei army took up positions on both wings to entangle the Qin army. The allied forces of the three Jin states had a numerical advantage, with the main force of the Zhao army being strong and powerful, and having famous generals like Lian Po, why couldn't they defeat the 100,000-strong Qin army?

  Now Zhao Jun has not arrived, and the Wei army sees that Han's defense of the city will only last two days before they are defeated by Qin. But now the situation has suddenly turned around, and the Han army, which was originally in a superior position, has suddenly fallen into a desperate situation.

  "Alas, alas!" The crown prince sighed.

  If Korea is doomed to perish, then let it die with honor and write the most tragic chapter in Korean history! At least after a hundred or thousand years, there will be people who know that Korea also fought to the death and never surrendered!

  The crown prince would rather that later generations not mention Korea at all, and only think of weak and timid words.

  Just as the entire Korean army was preparing for its final battle with a solemn face, a voice rose from the city wall.

  "Crown Prince! Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived."

  Zhu Hai's voice immediately attracted the attention of all the defending soldiers.

  Following Zhu Hai's gesture, the Crown Prince Yan looked to the north of the city and saw a large "Zhao" flag appear, followed by the appearance of a large "Lian" flag.

  The Zhao army of 100,000 has finally arrived!

  The crown prince's face was suddenly covered in tears. At this moment, he knew that he didn't have to die. At this moment, Zhu Hai's voice sounded so pleasant and moving.

  The South Korean soldiers at the castle head of Yeouido almost boiled over in an instant, crying and laughing, whether they knew each other or not, all hugging each other excitedly.

  The Qin army attacking the city seemed to have realized something, but when they turned their heads back, they were shocked to find that the 100,000-strong Zhao army was rolling in from the north of Handan!

  Lian Po gazed at the chaotic Qin army, a hint of satisfaction flickering in the corner of his eyes. Although he didn't know why the opposing Qin army was so disheveled and chaotic, wasn't this exactly what he had been hoping for all along?

  Since the decision was made ten days ago to secretly cross Chencang, a huge conspiracy surrounding the Qin army has begun to take shape. The 100,000-strong army gathered outside Handan is just for show; the real killer is the large army on the borders of Zhao, Wei and Han states.

  Lian Po appeared in Handan for the first few days, directly confusing the Qin spies. They thought that the Zhao army had not yet assembled and relaxed their vigilance. Four days ago, Lian Po deliberately quarreled with King Zhao about grain and fodder issues, creating a false impression of discord between the monarch and his subject. In fact, Lian Po just wanted to have an excuse to refuse visitors. That night, Lian Po rode out of Handan overnight and hurried quietly to the front line. After Lian Po merged with the assembled troops, the so-called "100,000-strong army" slowly departed from Handan.

  This directly led to the Qin army's upper and lower levels producing a numbness, thinking that the most feared Zhao army had just left Handan, leaving at least seven days for themselves to take down Ye Wang City.

  At this time, Lian Po had already led a large army to detour around Shangdang Commandery, preparing to launch a surprise beheading operation against the Qin army.

  In Lian Po's original estimate, the Qin army would inevitably become disheartened to a certain extent after three days of attacking the city, and their neglect of the Zhao army would lead them to swallow the bitterest fruit. However, even so, Lian Po believed that a surprise attack might cause 20,000-30,000 casualties for the Qin army, but annihilating the entire Qin army in one battle was clearly unrealistic.

  After all, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, which had not been defeated for a long time, was quite terrifying. Strong willpower, skilled coordination and strict military law made the Qin army almost invincible. Especially in desperate situations, they would often burst out with strong fighting spirit. All of this is not something that the current Zhao army can compare to.

  But now! Lian Po saw the loose formation of the Qin army, and from the north of Ye Wang alone, the Qin army's strength was absolutely only a little more than 10,000 people. The number is not a problem, the key issue is that the Qin army has set up a purely attacking formation, with almost zero protection for the rear. Although it is unclear why the Qin army set up such a nearly suicidal formation, Lian Po no longer had time to think about so much.

  "Advance troops, target: the enemy army directly north of Ye Wang, attack!"

  Under Lian Po's order, the 20,000 cavalrymen of the vanguard accelerated their pace and charged straight at the Qin army. The remaining 20,000 cavalrymen, 20,000 charioteers, and 40,000 infantrymen drew a beautiful arc, following the predetermined route, rushing towards the west gate of Ye Wang. That was where the main tent of the Qin army was located!
