The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixuan felt very uncomfortable looking at the dead bodies all over the ground. He didn't want to cause so much killing.

But she had no choice but to pray silently in her heart in order to protect her home.

My fellow soldiers, don't blame me, blame your king instead. He is the one who sent you here to die...

After returning to the tent, Meng Tian summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. The generals gathered in the tent and the atmosphere was solemn.

Wang Jian said, "General, Fugui City is too powerful. Let's withdraw our troops!"

Meng Tian frowned and thought to himself that Wang Jian was a very shrewd and scheming man.

Now they claim that Fugui City is difficult to attack and advocate retreating. Although it seems cowardly, we must still be on guard.

One general angrily said, "General, we have fought all the way here. How can we retreat just because of his words? I am willing to lead my soldiers to attack the city."

Everyone agreed, but after calming down, everyone understood the pros and cons.

If we attack forcefully at this time, we will probably suffer heavy casualties and will find it difficult to win.

When the stalemate was just approaching, a spy came to report that the food and fodder transportation in the rear was attacked.

Meng Tian's face changed. He knew that the situation was critical. If they continued to waste time like this, the army would starve to death before they could capture Fugui City.

At this time, the deputy general who had been silent stood up: "General!"

"For now, we can only follow Wang Jian's advice and hold our troops in place, and quickly ask the King of Qin for help. The King of Qin is a man of great talent and strategy, and he will surely have a good plan."

Meng Tian sighed helplessly and finally nodded. Then, he galloped towards Xianyang with a letter asking for help.

Zixuan was puzzled and alert when he learned that the enemy was not moving.

Not knowing what the other side was up to, they could only tighten the defenses in the city and wait for the next round of battle.

The King of Qin was shocked when he received the battle report. He immediately summoned his ministers to the palace to discuss the matter.

The atmosphere in the court was as oppressive as the dark clouds before a storm.

"Your Majesty, this is a major military matter. I think we should send reinforcements as soon as possible." Prime Minister Li stepped out and said.

"No, the country is currently short of troops. If we mobilize a large number of troops, I'm afraid other destroyed countries will take the opportunity to rebel."

The Grand Marshal hastened to object. The King of Qin pondered for a moment, then glanced resolutely at his ministers, "I have made up my mind. I will lead the army myself."

The entire court was shocked when these words were spoken. "Your Majesty's life is worth millions, you must not put it in danger."

The ministers tried to dissuade him. The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "If I don't go, the army will be unstable and morale will be low.

"My presence at the front will surely inspire the soldiers. Moreover, I see that although Fugui City is strong, it must have weaknesses."

"I, along with the other generals, will surely defeat the enemy."

Seeing that the King of Qin was determined, the ministers stopped trying to persuade him.

The King of Qin immediately ordered the reorganization of the army and selected elite soldiers to accompany him on the expedition.

A few days later, the King of Qin, wearing armor, led his army towards the battlefield.

When Zixuan heard the news that the King of Qin was leading the army in person in the city, he couldn't help but feel worried.

She knew very well that the King of Qin was famous and the outcome of this war became even more unpredictable.

At this time, the Regent Prince Lu suddenly came to the front line from Guicheng.

Zixuan scolded him, "Why is my grandson running to the front lines when he's not back in the city to take care of government?"

Gongzi Lu straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Grandfather, I want to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Zixuan's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to slap Gongzi Lu: "Nonsense! Do you know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield?"

Gongzi Lu covered his cheeks, his eyes revealing stubbornness, "Grandmother, as a man, I should serve my country. How can I hide behind and live in peace?"

Zixuan paced back and forth angrily, "You still don't have any descendants!"

"If anything were to happen to me, how could I face our ancestors and the people who returned to the city?"

Gongzi Lu knelt on one knee and said, "Grandmother, because of this, I should do my best to protect all of this."

"Fugui City is now in danger, and I don't want to be a coward."

Zixuan looked at his stubborn grandson in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that once Gongzi Lu made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, but she really couldn't bear to put her grandson in danger.

"My grandson has been learning military tactics and martial arts since he was young. He will not give up his life easily. Please grant me your blessing, Grandmother."

Gongzi Lu pleaded again. Zixuan sighed, "Forget it."

"Since you have made up your mind, it is useless for Grandma to stop you."

"But you must promise Grandmother that you will be careful and not act rashly."

Gongzi Lu was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Grandfather. I will definitely keep it in mind!"

Ten days later, the King of Qin personally led an army of one million to Fugui City.

The King of Qin stopped his horse and looked at the rich city from afar, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Behind the prosperity of this city lies endless dangers, and even a million-strong army seems insignificant here.

Meng Tian and Wang Jian stood respectfully beside him.

The King of Qin spoke slowly: "Generals, look at this wealthy city. It is imposing and solid as a rock. It is indeed a formidable enemy."

Meng Tian clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this city is impregnable. A frontal attack would only lead to casualties."

Wang Jian also said: "Your Majesty is wise. We need to find the flaws in the city before we can break it."

The King of Qin nodded slightly, his eyes deep, "I have been traveling along this road and found that the terrain here is unique and may be of use."

Meng Tian's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, are you planning to use the terrain to encircle us?"

The King of Qin smiled faintly. "Indeed. I see there might be a small path in the back mountain. We can send someone to investigate."

Wang Jian hesitated, "Your Majesty, the enemy may have taken precautions."

The King of Qin said confidently, "That's all right. I have other plans." "I'll order a decoy force to pretend to attack the city gate to draw out the enemy's main force. Then I'll send elite troops to sneak into the city along the side roads."

Meng Tian and Wang Jian looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The King of Qin looked at Fugui City, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "When I conquer this city, I will make sure that the whole world knows the might of the Great Qin."

Then he waved his hand and the army began to move according to plan.

In fact, this path does not lead to Fugui City, but was trampled out by the army during routine training.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Zixuan had just finished breakfast when he heard shouts and screams outside the city and knew that the Qin army had begun to attack the city.

He climbed up the city wall and looked down, and saw that there were not many soldiers attacking the city.

Just when he was wondering, the commander of the north gate called and said that the Qin army rushed to the north gate last night and was preparing to launch a general attack.

Upon hearing this, Zixuan thought to himself that the King of Qin had so many tricks up his sleeve, no wonder he was able to unify the world.

Just as she was about to get up and go to the north gate, Gongzi Lu clasped his fists and said, "Grandfather! Please stay here, and leave the north gate to your grandson!"

Zixuan looked at his brave great-grandson and nodded: "Okay! Be careful!"

Gongzi Lu grinned and said, "Old Ancestor, please come in!"

After saying that, he got on the off-road vehicle and rushed along the city road towards the north gate.

Zixuan hurriedly notified the boss and asked him to modify the program of the North Gate robot soldiers so that all robots would obey Gongzi Lu's command.

He then ordered the soldiers on the city wall to continue fighting back. Under the city wall was an army of 200,000 led by Meng Tian.

He was just following orders, and when he saw Zixuan shooting, he quickly retreated.

Two hours later, they succeeded. They repeatedly dragged Zixuan's troops, buying time for the King of Qin to attack the north gate.
