Li Mu's sigh resonated with many generals in the army.
However, the King of Zhao had already issued his orders, and they were powerless to change them.
Li Mu closed his eyes and, like a criminal, left with these soldiers.
Meanwhile, Zhao Cong and others quickly took over the command of the army in Handan city.
As soon as Li Mu left, Lin Tian received the news.
"Reporting to the General, our plan has succeeded. The general in Handan city has been replaced, and it is no longer Li Mu!"
"Good! Good! Good! This is excellent. Without Li Mu defending the city, taking Handan will be as easy as pie!"
Hearing that Li Mu was no longer defending the city, Wang Jian clapped his hands repeatedly in delight.
While he did not fear Li Mu, Li Mu defending the city would still cause him considerable trouble.
He wondered how much time it would take him to break through Li Mu's defenses and capture Handan.
After all, Li Mu's reputation for city defense was renowned throughout the land.
Now that Li Mu was no longer defending the city, he was confident that he could capture Handan in one fell swoop.
However, before issuing his orders, he glanced at Lin Tian, wanting to hear his opinion.
Lin Tian naturally understood that this was the best time to attack Handan.
Therefore, he unhesitatingly said to Wang Jian:
"General, the enemy's main commander has changed, and their defenses are weak. Now is the time for us to deploy our troops!"
"Excellent! Then we will dispatch our troops immediately and take Handan!"
"Yes! This humble general is willing to serve as the vanguard commander!"
"Granted!"
Under Wang Jian's command, Lin Tian led a large number of soldiers and launched the most fierce assault on Handan city.
The twenty thousand strong army advanced together, covering the sky and the earth.
The Qin army's advance caused immense panic among the Zhao soldiers within Handan city.
In an instant, the sounds of gongs and drums echoed incessantly within Handan city.
Accompanying these sounds were the shouts of the soldiers within Handan city.
"Bad news, the Qin army is attacking the city!"
"Quick, defend! The Qin army is here, the Qin army is upon us!"
"Report to the General, quickly report this news to the General!"
At this moment, the main generals in Handan city were still gathered in the command tent, listening to Zhao Cong's lecture.
There were not many soldiers outside the tent to direct them.
Therefore, when Lin Tian led the army to attack the city, they descended into chaos.
While Zhao Cong was still lecturing, some soldiers rushed into the tent anxiously.
"General, disaster has struck! The Qin army is attacking the city, the Qin army has launched a full-scale assault on us!"
"What? Why would the Qin army launch a full-scale assault on us at this time? Do they know that we just changed our main commander?"
"It shouldn't be. The Qin army attacks the city from time to time. This might be their probe, and they are also looking for an opportunity to break through our Handan city!"
"Defend the city, we need to defend the city immediately and resist the Qin army!"
As he spoke, many people turned their gaze to Zhao Cong, awaiting his orders.
Zhao Cong, at this moment, was also at his wit's end.
He had never imagined that just as he took over as the main commander and the generals in the army were not yet familiar with each other, the Qin army would attack.
This left him unsure of how to arrange things for a moment.
However, he was not an idiot. Although he was not familiar with the generals in the army, he knew the basic emergency procedures.
Therefore, he issued orders to these generals:
"Arrange your troops according to your previous formations to resist the Qin army!"
"Yes!"
Although some generals felt that this order was not appropriate, as Li Mu had always made them constantly change their offensive and defensive formations when defending the city.
But now, Zhao Cong was the main commander, and they had no better solution.
Therefore, they could only follow Zhao Cong's orders.
However, when they reached the city walls, they discovered that the battlefield before them was completely different from their previous situation.
There were simply too many enemies before them, and they were too fierce.
The twenty thousand strong army surged forward as if intent on engulfing Handan city entirely.
Anyone who saw it would feel a sense of dread.
Especially the person charging at the very front of the Qin army, he exuded an aura that made it difficult to look directly at him.
His charge was extremely fast, and his aura was incredibly powerful.
Although countless arrows were aimed at him, he blocked them all.
At the same time, without any hesitation, he headed straight for their Handan city gate.
It was as if he alone could contend with an army of thousands.
With him charging alone at the forefront, it felt like an army of thousands was about to charge.
Many even felt that he alone could breach Handan's gate.
They did not know where this illusion came from, but merely seeing this young general instilled fear in some.
Then, a loud roar spread to everyone's ears.
"It's Qin's Lin Tian, he is Qin's Lin Tian!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhao soldiers were all greatly alarmed.
"What? He is Qin's Lin Tian?"
"Hiss! As expected of the one called the Sword God of Qin, his speed of charge is truly astonishing!"
"This person is so powerful, he alone can match our thousands of soldiers, no wonder so many have fallen before him."
They had heard the name of Qin's Lin Tian too many times.
The reason for replacing Li Mu this time was also because Qin's Lin Tian had arrived, and they feared that Li Mu, who had been defeated by Lin Tian before, would not be able to hold the city.
They never expected that the real Lin Tian would possess such an invincible presence.
"I heard that Qin's Lin Tian alone has broken through the city gate of a city before, everyone, quickly shoot arrows, do not let Qin's Lin Tian get close!"
"Everyone, concentrate your arrows and catapults, and eliminate Qin's Lin Tian first!"
"Qin's Lin Tian is a great threat, we absolutely cannot let him get close alive, kill him!"
The Zhao army had already heard many legends about Lin Tian.
Therefore, they knew very well that Lin Tian's threat alone was no less than that of ten thousand soldiers.
If they did not deal with Lin Tian and allowed him to get close, then their Handan city would be in great trouble.
It was precisely because of this thought that more arrows were fired towards Lin Tian.
There were even many deadly poisoned arrows and fiery arrows among them.
Their purpose in doing so was singular: to kill Lin Tian.
However, such methods of attack were ultimately somewhat weak against Lin Tian.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Tian, enduring the barrage of thousands of arrows, pushed forward, heading straight for Handan city's gate.
His charging speed instilled terror.
Various shouts erupted at this moment.
"Stop him, we must stop him! We cannot let him get close to our city gate!"
"Rocks, quickly push the rocks! We would rather use rocks to block our city gate than let them breach it!"
"Rolling logs, quickly push down our rolling logs to stop his warhorse!"
Lin Tian's arrival struck fear into many.
