Chapter 160: Soldiers Descend on the City
It has been more than half a year since Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and the rebellion in Korea has also been suppressed, and Changping Jun is also returning to Qin after dealing with Korean affairs.
Xianyang, on the city wall, part of the city wall that was destroyed by Wushuang has been repaired, Qin Wang Yingzheng is looking at the east, there, is where the six countries of Kanto are located, is the land that Yingzheng wants to conquer, and today, Han and Zhao have also become history, and the Yan State that is at war has long been a cyst in the eyes of Yingzheng.
On the city wall, Meng Tian, who was wearing Cangyun armor, walked quickly, knelt down behind Ying Zheng, and said loudly: "King Qiqi, with the assistance of Mr. Gai, the black swordsman Shengqi has been arrested and brought to justice, and is now being personally escorted to the Tooth Eater Prison by Mr. Gai, in addition, General Wang sent a battle report to defeat Yan on the west bank of Yishui, on behalf of the coalition army, the two coalition forces have withdrawn to the Yan capital Jicheng, but the terrain of Jicheng is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, General Wang hopes that Wang can send troops to reinforce. β
"Daiguo?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"After General Wang broke through Handan, some remnants of Zhao fled to Daijun"
"Zhao Jia?" Meng Tian didn't finish before he was interrupted by Ying Zheng.
"Wang Shangmingcha is the brother of King Zhao Youmiao, Zhao Jia," Meng Tian said respectfully.
"A group of lost dogs are also worthy of the enemy of Daqin" Ying Zheng's eyes were uncertain, flashing with danger.
"What about the casualties of our army," Ying Zheng asked.
"Back to the king, General Wang used his troops like a god, and did not clash head-on with the coalition forces in Yan, but attacked the rear in a roundabout way, and our army had almost no casualties," Meng Tian replied.
"What's going on over there with Changping Jun," Ying Zheng asked lightly.
"The Xinzheng rebellion has been completely suppressed"
"Very good, I ordered Yingchuan County to prepare all the grain and grass to support Wang Jian first, and you immediately led 300,000 troops to take Jicheng in one fell swoop," Ying Zheng said.
"That subordinate retired first"
"Let's go" Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly, Meng Tian just left as if he had been amnestied, at this time, Meng Tian's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, every time he faced Ying Zheng alone, it made Meng Tian feel as if he was facing an endless mountain, which made Meng Tian breathless.
From Meng Tian to leaving, Ying Zheng never looked over, his eyes have been looking at the east deeply, taking in the Central Plains. Everyone in the world thought that this attack on Yan was caused by Jing Ke's assassination of Qin. But whether there is this matter or not, in the eyes of Ying Zheng, Yan Guo is just another milestone for him to dominate the world, nothing more.
Half a year has passed, Yan State, the northernmost country of the Seven Kingdoms, also has a trend of returning to the earth in spring, but the people who live in Jicheng do not feel the warmth of rejuvenation at all, but tremble all day long, panic, with an order of King Qin, Yingchuan County and Xianyang's military supply has arrived outside Jicheng in less than a month, and after Wang Jian converged, the entire Jicheng was surrounded by water.
After dealing with Jing Ke's funeral, Yan Dan returned to the army non-stop, and was discussing the matter of defending the city with Zhao Jia, the acting king, when he suddenly heard the news of the arrival of Qin reinforcements.
"It's finally here" Yan Dan's face sank like water, took a deep breath and walked on the city wall of Jicheng, Yan Dan can pass the assessment of the Mo family giant, whether it is martial arts or wisdom, it can be called outstanding, but no one is perfect, for leading the troops to fight, it is exactly the point that the Mo family is not good at, non-attacking, non-attacking, in fact, from the time when Yan Dan was forced to take over the Yan army, the defeat of the Yan country was already doomed. Rao is Yan Dan's heart, but when he saw the black and oppressive Qin army under the city wall, he still couldn't help but show a look of shock, the expedition had not yet begun, but he was already overwhelmed by this suffocating momentum.
Zhao Jia, the acting king on the side, also gasped, since Zhao was destroyed by Qin, Zhao Jia has also let go of the grudge against Zhao for several years in a row, and wants to recover Zhao, from the day he was established as the acting king, he began to accumulate strength, although he was reinstated as the king, but Zhao Jia did not have the slightest joy, from the forced escape to Handan, Zhao Jia has completely seen the situation today, Han has been destroyed, Zhao has more than seventy percent of the land owned by Qin, Wei is even weaker, Chu has long been in a slump, Yan has been shrinking in the northeast corner, Qi and Qin have been close for more than 40 years, has been blind to the joint attack on Qin proposed by the countries, and has not heard itγ
Since Zhao Jia ascended the throne, he immediately made peace with Yan State, in order to fight against Qin State, but he didn't want to be prepared early, but he was still broken by Qin Army Yu Yishui, and now he saw the Qin State reinforcements arrive, and saw such a huge gap, which made Zhao Jia deeply feel his weakness, and he had already retreated in his heart, but he glanced at Yan Dan with bad intentions, even he thought that this attack on Yan was completely because of Yan Dan's plan to assassinate Qin, and his own country still needs time to develop, if he is really defeated, then he has to abandon the car to protect the handsome!
Although Jicheng is located in the Northeast Plain, Jicheng itself is built on the Jiqiu, named Jicheng, there is an artificially built moat under the city, and this moat and the high terrain of Jicheng have become the last life-saving barrier of Yan Kingdom.
In the face of more than 400,000 troops outside Jicheng, the Yan Dynasty coalition troops stationed in Jicheng did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy. However, if you can protect yourself by virtue of a terrain, how can there be more war in the world, the art of attack and defense has already come into being, no matter how strong the shield is, it can't stop the most elite army, not to mention the Qin army led by Wang Qian, the division of tigers and wolves.
"General Wang, the siege ladders and catapults carefully built by the Gongyi family are ready. "A soldier reported for duty.
Wang Jian nodded, took out the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Jicheng
"The whole army obeys the order, attack!"
