Chapter 179 Spectacular mass suicide

The next day, the sun was shining.

The warm sunshine fell from the sky in the east, illuminating the Qin army camp and the Zhao army camp.

"How come you say you don't have clothes—"

"Comrade with me!"

"Wang Yuxing's army——"

"Fix my spear!"

"Share the enemy with my son—"

"Share your enemies with me!"

After the morning meal, after a brief rest, the Qin soldiers began to line up in neat formations and, under the leadership of the general, began to mobilize before the war.

The harassment of the Zhao army last night briefly affected the Qin army's mood. After the Qin army put out the torches and began to kill the Zhao army, the harassment of the Zhao army was unsustainable. In the second half of the night, the Qin soldiers slept safely.

"Rise the flag!"

Meng Tian dressed up with the general's clothes, put on a pitch-black cloak, slowly climbed up to the platform, pulled out the ring-headed knife around her waist, and pointed his hand towards the sky.

"Rise the flag——"

The personal soldiers beside him shouted in unison.

At this time, two tall and strong personal soldiers carried the black dragon flag of Qin and walked towards the center of the barracks, with a solemn expression. As the Qin soldiers watched, the black dragon flag of Qin slowly rose to the sky, flying in the wind, and making noises.

The black flying dragon on the flag is extremely handsome, looking down on the world, exuding endless power.

"Raging wind!"

"Raging wind!"

"Raging wind!"

The Qin soldiers held up the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly, with a wave of sound and an excited expression. The so-called Viking War Cry was just a small fight in the face of the momentum created by the Qin army.

The Qin people, especially the Qin people in Guanzhong, had a heartfelt love for Qin. After Shang Yang's reforms, Qin's foreign wars won consecutive battles and became the most powerful country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

On the necessary path to the Silk Road, Qin's business benefited a lot. Even if the government did not encourage business, Qin's businessmen still made a fortune. With the prosperity of farmland water conservancy, Qin's businessmen rarely suffered from drought.

The Qin people truly felt the dignity brought to the Qin people by the strong state of Qin.

"Military morale is available!"

Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction. The black dragon flag of Qin was imprinted in the hearts of the Qin people like a totem.

It was under the Black Dragon Banner that the Qin army achieved countless victories. Meng Tian raised the Black Dragon Banner high so that all soldiers could see it, and inspired the Qin army to seek war.

The Qin army mobilized and made great noises, reaching the Zhao army camp from afar. Many Zhao army's eyes showed a look of panic.

The king of Zhao State in Handan City did not trust the army outside the city, and the soldiers heard about it. Hu Zhe was not a person who was good at hiding emotions. Many soldiers witnessed Hu Zhe’s worries with their own eyes.

In the Zhao army camp, Hu Zhe turned his back to the tent door and said nothing for a long time. He also heard the Qin army shouting in unison. From the Qin army's call, he heard the determination of the Qin generals.

"There is no choice but to fight the Qin army!"

Hu Zhe slowly opened his eyes, holding the iron sword around his waist.

Not to mention that the order from King Zhao came, the Qin army was stationed at Handan City, and the weapons in Handan City could not be transported to the front line. The longer the time delayed, Li Mu and Sima Shang on the front line would only become more and more difficult.

"Dietly Inmate Fight, have you considered it?"

Hu Zhe put aside his thoughts, turned around, stared at a middle-aged man in the tent, and asked sternly.

The man was wearing a rosy coat representing the prisoner, with messy hair and several scars on his face.

"Anyway, it's a death. I will act according to the general's arrangements. I hope the general will keep his promise and relieve my wife and children of slavery."

The prisoner had no expression on his face and his eyes were evident.

“That’s natural.”

Hu Zhe nodded slightly and said in his heart, "What is your wife and children?" You can't see even if you die."

"There are 300 death row prisoners in our group. They should have been executed. Now they can die on the battlefield and die for Zhao State, which is much more glorious than dying in prison for a coward."

During the Warring States Period, people were very bloody, and people from the Yan and Zhao were especially afraid of death. However, in the eyes of the Qin people, the generous and tragic songs of the Zhao people were just brave enough to fight to the death, and were not appreciated by the Qin people who were brave enough to fight to the public.

"It's rare that you can see clearly. Come and give me wine!"

After the death row was gone, Hu Zhe's confidant captain opened the curtain and walked in quietly.

"Peng, how are you preparing?" Hu Zhe asked hurriedly.

"It can be controlled basically. These five elephants came from the Chu State in the south. They were originally raised in the king's garden and the general took them away. Will the king blame them?" The captain Peng looked at the direction of Handan, with concern in his eyes.

"Hmph, what's the use of this kind of giant, except for food consumption? Now that the country is in a critical state, I really can't think about it so much."

Hu Zhe waved his hand and stopped the captain Peng from continuing: "As a general in charge, I just care about winning the battle. As for what means I used, I believe the king will not blame me."

"Look, what is that? What is Zhao Jun's name?"

The Qin army drove out of the camp, formed a formation, and slowly approached.

Away from eight hundred steps, the Zhao army also held its ground.

At this time, the Zhao army's military formation suddenly opened a hole and a group of slaves ran out, unarmed, ragged, and withered.

These people turned a blind eye to the Qin army formation in front of them, and just took steps towards the Qin army formation and resolutely.

After so many years of war, the Qin army had never encountered such a situation.

If you say these people are similar to the Qin army's suicide squad, they are not very similar. The Qin army's soldiers are often composed of elite soldiers. Although they do not wear armor, the sharpness of the weapons in their hands is not vague. These people are empty-handed, not as if they are coming to the battlefield.

"Do you want to shoot these slaves?"

Li Bi stroked the war horse's neck with his hand, suppressing the urge to act.

"Slow down, see what tricks Zhao Jun wants to play?"

Luo Jia shook his head, frowning tightly. People always have curiosity and can't help but want to figure out what these slaves want to do.

The death row battle moved forward step by step, and the black dragon flag above the Qin army camp clearly reflected in his eyes. It was this black dragon flag that brought endless fear to the Zhao people.

"Born for Zhao people, die for Zhao ghosts!"

When he was still five hundred steps away from the Qin army formation, Dou stopped, raised his hands high, looked up at the sky, and shouted sad farewell in his mouth, as if the folk wizard presided over the sacrifice.

"Born for Zhao people, die for Zhao ghosts!"

Three hundred death row prisoners sang in unison, suddenly bent down, took out a short dagger from their crotch, and wiped it on their necks with lightning speed.

Three hundred blood arrows gushed in front of the Qin army. Some soldiers were stunned for a moment and stood there in a daze.

The scene of living people committing suicide is already shocking, not to mention hundreds of people performing collective suicide in front of the Qin army.

Even the Qin army, who had been through the battle for a long time, had never encountered such a spectacular scene.

"Run!"

"Kill!"

Taking advantage of the Qin army's moment of being stunned, Hu Zhe personally beat the war drum. The Zhao army infantry and cavalry cooperated with each other and advanced together, colliding towards the Qin army's formation like a tsunami.

"Damn Hu Zhe, he actually learned the tactics of King Goujian of Yue, and caused three hundred people to commit suicide together!"

Meng Tian saw the Qin army on the front line, and was greatly shocked by Zhao army's suicide performance, and seemed a little panicked. He couldn't help but curse this inhumane tactic.

"Mengbao, lead your cavalry to join the battlefield from the flanks, give me a fierce attack, and give Luo Jia and Li Bi time to complete the team."

"Menghu, lead your cavalry to dismount and act as infantry, cooperate with the cavalry to fight, resist the infantry of the Zhao army, and give the cavalry space to rush up."

"General, we are all on the battlefield. What should you do with your safety?" Meng Hu looked at the battlefield where the two armies handed over, with some doubts.

"I am just an ordinary general in this battle. When necessary, I will charge forward!"

Meng Tian looked around at the last two thousand personal soldiers around him, looked up at the direction of the Zhao army's city, and the brave ones won when they met on a narrow road. As long as the Qin army showed the momentum of victory, the Zhao army in Handan City would not dare to leave the city to support.

"Move my flag forward so that the soldiers can watch it. The main generals have all gone to the battlefield, and they all come to my senses!"
