Chapter 412 The Fall of Tangxi

Chu State, Tangxi City.

The rising sun sheds its own light, and this city located on the south bank of Lishui ushered in a new day.

Before I could wake up from the silence of last night, a long and desolate horn broke the original tranquility of the morning.

"Woo..."

"Hurry up……"

"The soldiers are in position, the Wei army is about to attack the city again."



The one after another shouts and messy footsteps formed a different kind of war song, and thick war clouds gradually covered the entire city.

When the Chu defenders, who had been fighting fiercely for many days, dragged their already very tired bodies to their respective positions, a figure wearing armor stood on the top of the city of Tangxi.

"How's it going?"

While casting his gaze outside the city, the Chu army guard asked the deputy general beside him about the situation of the battle.

"General Qi, all our soldiers are in place, but..."

There was no need for the deputy general to continue speaking, as the Chu army guard general already understood what he wanted to express.

Swallowing the saliva in his mouth with difficulty, the Chu army guard's eyes clearly showed a trace of fear as he looked outside the city.

In the past ten days, the Wei army that besieged Tangxi would send soldiers to attack the city from time to time.

But compared with the formation outside the city at this moment, it really pales into insignificance.

Looking around, a Wei soldier formed a sea of ​​red, blocking the Chu defenders inside the city from the outside.

The siege equipment standing among them was clearly like a giant beast in the sea, and the next moment it was about to devour all the Chu soldiers on top of the city.

It was only then that the Chu army guard standing on top of the city realized that what had happened before was just a test by the Wei army.

The reason why the Wei army was so grand today was that they had clearly made up their mind to capture Tangxi City.

Standing on the top of the city, he took another look at the heart-stopping military formation outside the city. The deputy general looked at the Chu army defender with hope in his eyes.

"General, what should I do..."

The deputy general's words could no longer be heard in his ears. Facing the menacing Wei army outside the city, the Chu army defender braced himself.

The moment his trembling hands touched the sword at his waist, he seemed to feel the power from it, and a firm look appeared in the guard's eyes.

He used all his strength to pull out his long sword, and the Chu army guard shouted with a trembling tone: "All the troops, meet the enemy!"

Although the general of the Chu army did not appear to be standing still before the battle, his military order still made the defenders of the city reluctantly prepare for the battle.

Outside Tangxi City, under the red banner, General Pang Juan of Wei State was looking coldly at the city in front of him.

Just as Zhao State in the north was dispatching troops to attack Zhongshan State, Pang Juan led nearly 100,000 Wei troops under his command to Tangxi City on the bank of Lishui River.

Originally, Pang Juan was planning to take over this not-so-strong city in one go, but a piece of news from the Chu State made him temporarily put down this idea.

The vanguard of Chu's army, Yin Zhaoxi, was an elite division composed of 20,000 Shenxi disciples. They had already arrived at the square city defense line built by Chu.

Once Pang Juan quickly captured Tangxi, only Hebo City was left between the main force of the Wei army and the Chu army's vanguard.

Seeing how fierce the Wei army's offensive was, the 20,000 Shenxi troops would not dare to continue to advance eastward, and would even rely on the solid square city to resist the Wei army's offensive.

After careful consideration, Pang Juan changed his quick attack to a slow advance in order to confuse the Chu army forwards who came for reinforcements.

Yesterday, when the news came that 20,000 Shenxi's troops had entered Hebo, Pang Juan knew that the battle of Tangxi was about to come to an end.

His eyes gradually narrowed, and a dangerous light radiated from Pang Juan's eyes.

His right hand slowly touched the long sword at his waist, and a streak of frost was pulled out of the scabbard.

On top of the chariot, under the hunting banner, Pang Juan's long sword pointed at Tangxi City ahead.

"The whole army obeys the order..."

"Siege the city."

Pang Juan gave an order, and the red flags were waved rapidly, and the war machine he controlled started to operate slowly.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"



Several loud noises sounded from behind the Wei army's formation, and as the long arms quickly climbed to the highest point, huge boulders carrying infinite power flew out.

With the sound of breaking through the air, huge rocks flew over the Wei army's formation, crossed the distance between the two sides, and hit the head of Tangxi City directly.

The horrified eyes watched these huge rocks falling from the sky getting closer and closer, the fearful shouts gradually turned into silence, and everything came to an end with the arrival of the huge rocks.

When huge rocks hit the Tangxi city wall, they caused tremors; or they hit the Chu soldiers, causing howls of wailing.

When the huge rocks thrown from the rear of the military formation and the crossbow arrows shot immediately after caused the Chu defenders in the city to inevitably fall into chaos, the Wei military formation, which was like an ocean, finally surged out with huge waves.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow..."

Seeing the huge waves gradually approaching the city wall, the Chu army archers on the top of the city shot feather arrows one after another.

The sharp arrows may pose a threat to the Wei soldiers in the military formation, but they cannot stop the advance of the huge red wave.

When the heavy ladders were placed on the top of Tangxi City, and when the Wei soldiers who ascended first stood on the top of Tangxi City, the balance of victory in the war inevitably tipped towards the Wei army.

"one two three……"

"one two three……"



The huge potential energy carried by the rushing car continued to hit the front, and the Tangxi City Gate, which was not very heavy in the first place, was already crumbling.

If it weren't for the many Chu soldiers who followed later and used all their strength, I'm afraid the city gate in front of them would have been breached long ago.

However, when the manpower was finally exhausted, Wei's soldiers all roared loudly and struck with all their strength.

"one two three!"

After all the efforts, the soldiers of the Chu army were unable to stop him, and the huge force of the charging car finally opened the gate of Tangxi City.

Pang Juan, who had been paying attention to the changes in the battle situation, glanced at the city gate that was already open in front of him, and then looked at the city head that was also standing still, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"The war is coming to an end and the battle situation has been decided!"

"The whole army obeys the order..."

"attack!"

As the city head and city gates fell one after another, the Chu defenders in the city lost their fighting spirit, which was not much in the first place.

When the main force of the Wei army invaded Tangxi amidst the roar of attack, this short-lived city offensive and defensive battle ended with a complete victory for the Wei army.

A few hours later, when several large-scale battles in Tangxi City came to an end, the red flag belonging to the Wei State was erected at the top of Tangxi City.



Chu State, Hebo City, Chu Army's forward camp.

"Report..."

"Report to Duke Shen that Tangxi has fallen."
Chapter completed!
