Chapter 259

While Fan Zeng led the Chu army out of Handan City, Uppu raised his hand and fired an arrow. With the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, more than a dozen arrows rose in Handan City.

The defenders of Handan City had noticed the arrows, and King Xie of Zhao immediately ordered the defenders in the city to guard the death, looking for those who fired the arrows, and kill them without any hesitation.

But before his order was passed down to the head of Handan City, fires were already on the rise everywhere in Handan City. The sound of fire-fighting gongs sounded in Handan City.

In Handan City, the official yamen and warehouses of Zhao State were on fire, and there was no room for the people. Therefore, those people hiding at home to prevent the crisis of war were hiding in the house and watching, and did not come out to put out the fire easily. Only the city defense forces in Handan rushed around the streets and put out the fire everywhere.

However, Wei Huo was finely arranged, and more than a dozen fires occurred in the entire Handan City at almost the same time. When the city defense forces arrived at the fire scene, there was no living person in the place where the fire was on fire.

There were soldiers left by Zhao State at fire sites everywhere. But this was a war period, and there were not many soldiers left behind, most of them were old, weak and remnants. The left-behind soldiers in each fire scene were killed by the people led by Wei Huo and Upp, and no one was left behind.

"Report to the king quickly. There are spies from the Qin people in Handan City. Let the king be careful." The side general in charge of putting out the fire saw the body of Zhao army in a fire scene and immediately made an accurate judgment.

At this time, Wei Huo had quickly transferred the battlefield. He gathered less than 500 people in Handan City and was divided into thirty groups. Each group was led by the Great Qin soldiers brought by Upp. Among them, fifteen groups were divided into two places for setting fire. After the first wave of fire was set off, they quickly turned to the second place for setting fire. The other fifteen groups were all sent by Wei Huo to Ximen in Handan.

Because the Ximen Gate is the main direction of the Qin army's attack, once the city is broken, it must be the Ximen. What Wei Huo has to do is to rush under the city gate when the main force of the Qin army attacks the city.

Now that he set fires everywhere in the city, he has touched the hearts of the city defense force and has led to some of them coming.

When the soldiers in Handan City did not catch the fire-setting people and shouted to join the fire-fighting work, Wei Huo and Upp led all thirty groups of people to the east gate where Zhao Wangxie was located.

Yan Saner was not in this war. He had no ability, and he had a dead end in this chaotic army. Wei Huo asked him to take a few old men who Liu Mo had planted in Handan and secretly spread rumors, and Yan Saner made it himself, as long as he had a nose and eyes. Yan Saner had already started doing this more than ten days ago.

It was circulated in the city of Handan, Zhao State. This time, some of the so-called coalition forces came from the land of Zhao State. Even some ministers in the court believed that Yan Saner made up the lies he made in the small dilapidated house.

Four or five hundred Wei Huo's men hid not far from the west gate of Handan. At this moment, they all changed into the costumes of Zhao's military soldiers, and there were black cloth belts on their left arms.

"After a while, the army will start attacking, and you will take your men to open the city gate. I will take these elite soldiers to the city tower and take the life of King Zhao." Wei Huo's eyes flashed and he said to Upp.

Upp curled his lips and swallowed back what he wanted to say. After all, when it was about to come, the emperor had an order to enter Handan City and obey Wei Huo's instructions.

At this time, the battle between Zhang Han and Xiang Liang outside the city was coming to an end.

The cooperation between chariots and infantry made the cavalry who were good at raiding the plains unable to perform any growth, and could only be trapped in a corner and resisted to the death. Even Xiang Liang was covered in blood, surrounded by several Qin generals in the center, and slashed hard by swords. If Xiang Liang had not been exquisite in his shooting skills, he would have long become a ball of meat in the chaos.

Zhang Han did not go up and compete with the general who was anxious to make meritorious contributions to kill Xiang Liang. As the commander of the three armies, although he shared control with Li Jian, he still had to lead the three armies when he had the opportunity.

In later generations and Hu Hai's minds, Xiang's group and Liu Bang and others who should be paid the most were all small roles in Zhang Han's eyes. The real enemy in his mind was the kings elected by descendants of the six countries. As for Chen She, Wu Guang, Liu Bang and Xiang Liang, they were not even qualified to be sneered by Zhang Han.

Hu Hai knew Zhang Han's condition before standing. He admired Zhang Han's fearless attitude like the ignorant. If he was replaced by him, he would definitely be scruples when he met Xiang Liang. However, Zhang Han was in a state of turmoil, and Xiang Liang was killed.

Standing on the platform, I saw a crack in Handan City. It seemed that someone rushed to the place where Xiang Liang and Zhang Han were fighting. Hu Hai showed a smile on his lips.

The war on Zhang Han's side determined Xiang Liang's fate the moment the chariots and infantry rushed out. Li Jian constrained the large number of rescuers on the front battlefield. This small number of rescuers rushed out was simply hitting the stone with eggs and seeking death.

In the battle formation, Xiang Liang pierced the throat of a Qin army captain with a shot, and blood emerged along the captain's neck. The captain tried his best to grab Xiang Liang's gun with his hands. As Xiang Liang vigorously moved backward, his whole body declined from the horse and was instantly trampled by several war horses around him, and the bones on his body made a cracking sound.

No one paid attention to the broken bones of the captain and the blood that kept gushing from his throat. Only a few Qin generals who besieged Xiang Liang took advantage of the opportunity of the captain's death to delay Xiang Liang's gun barrel before his death, and the weapons in his hands hit Xiang Liang's body like the wind.

Xiang Liang's spear took the time to block the weapons of several people. He twisted his waist and avoided several vital points. Finally, a long spear was torn into his ribs, and blood immediately splashed out. Although it was only wounded through the skin and flesh of the cowhide armor, the pain was a bone-chilling heart.

Xiang Liang roared, turned the spear in his hand and killed the injured person with one shot. But the Qin army captain was extremely brave. Although Xiang Liang's spear penetrated through his chest, he grabbed Xiang Liang's spear with one hand, and the long spear in his other hand still stabbed forward. Although the long spear was halfway through and fell to the ground, he successfully pulled the spear in Xiang Liang's hand with his body.

Xiang Liang decisively threw away his spear, turned over and rolled down from the horse to the ground. With a wave of his hand, the sword was already in his hand.

The weapons falling around failed to hurt Xiang Liang, and they all called Xiang Liang's war horses.

As swords and guns fell, Xiang Liang's war horse did not even make a sound, and he was shattered. What's even more terrifying was that a single Qin general's battle axe actually slashed from the waist of the war horse, breaking the war horse's back and sank to the ground almost halfway.

The war horse followed Xiang Liang for many years, and died tragically in front of Xiang Liang at this moment. But he didn't have time to be sad because the next moment the war horse's experience fell on him.

His long sword hanging around his waist might be able to fight in the battle formation. But facing the Qin general who was always carrying long weapons, Xiang Liang felt bitter on his face. He originally vowed that when the Chu army arrived in Handan, the siege of Zhao would be relieved. However, he did not expect to fall into such a situation.
