In the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, January 1.

Hanoi County, the camp of the Qin army.

Shogunate, the Commander's Great Tent.

Bai Qi sat in the handsome position, Huan Qi was on the right, Wang Jian was on the left, Bai Yifei, Li Ze, Li Xin and other generals sat in two rows.

Bai Qi said: "Today, we are discussing the matter of our army going north to attack Zhao, Wang Qian, what do you think?"

Wang Jian got up, saluted, and said: "Commander, the last general thinks that our army needs to take all the cities south of Zhangshui in Zhao State to ensure that the army's food supply is worry-free." ”

Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go on." ”

Wang Jian said: "The 250,000 army can be divided into three armies: the left and right wings and the Chinese army. It can not only attack the city separately, but also echo each other, ensuring that the army will not be ambushed by the enemy. ”

"Who is the best leader of the three-way army?" Bai Qi asked.

"The left wing army led by Bai Yifei, the god killer army, led an army of 50,000 to capture more than 30 cities such as Luyang and Zhongmu, and the commander of the middle route led an army of 150,000 to take Anyang and other cities, and the right wing can let the old general Huan Qi lead an army of 50,000 to Tunqiu and other cities. ”

Bai Qi was very satisfied with Wang Qian's combat deployment, and said: "Huan Qi, Bai Yifei, Wang Jian listens to orders." ”

"The end will be. The three of them got up and came to the handsome case.

Bai Qi ordered: "Ling Bai Yifei is the chief general of the left wing army to lead an army of 50,000, 30,000 foot armor, 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 5,000 siege soldiers to capture Zhongmu and other cities." Huan Qi was the main general of the right wing army, commanding 30,000 foot armor, 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 5,000 siege soldiers, capturing Tunqiu and other cities. Wang Jian was the vanguard of the Chinese army, leading an army of 50,000 troops to attack the city and open the way. ”

"The last general commanded. The three of them arched their hands.

Bai Qi said again: "Our army is to crush the Zhao State with the general momentum this time, forcing it to retreat and have no way to retreat, only by fighting a decisive battle and destroying its main force, our army can destroy the Zhao State within a year." It is better to slow down the battle in order to win all. ”

"No. The generals answered.

Ten days later, 250,000 troops left the Hanoi camp, and Bai Yifei and Huan Qi each led 50,000 troops to leave the army.

The big cities that Bai Yifei's left-wing army needed to take were Zhongmu, Puyang, and Fangling. There are also thirty-five small and medium-sized cities.

Bai Yifei led an army of 50,000 to a small city on the way, the army offensive was opened, and Bai Yifei and the rest of the generals stood on the cloud chariot and looked at the city.

This city is about 50,000 people, and the defenders are less than 1,000, but with the hatred of the Zhao people for the Qin State, there will be about four or five thousand young people in the city to participate in the defense of the city.

This is the difference between the two armies fighting and destroying the country, Qin's desire to destroy Zhao will make the Qin State's battle line lengthen and double the consumption of military food and materials, while the people of Zhao State defending the city are people in the city and basically do not need food transportation, this is one. Some cities originally only had 1,000 defenders, but the people would become 5,000, 8,000, tens of thousands, etc., which increased the difficulty of the Qin army's siege and required more troops, which meant that more soldiers would die in battle.

Bai Yifei sent 10,000 troops to attack the city, and at the sound of an order, the army rushed towards the city excitedly.

At the beginning of the siege battle, the Qin army first fired several rounds of feather arrows, and the defenders of Zhao and the people who participated in the defense of the city suffered many casualties. Bai Yifei on the cloud car has a cold face, dressed in white, and the red cloak is very bright and conspicuous.

With a wave of the hand, the war drums sounded, the bow and crossbow in front of the 10,000 army, the large siege mechanics pushed the ladder, and there were people holding shields next to them, soldiers holding Changge, five people in a team, a row of five shi, a total of ten factions, two hundred and fifty people guarded, slowly pressing under the city.

The beds were also mounted on the chariots and pushed forward by the soldiers, and together with the bows and crossbows, the defenders on the walls were suppressed so that they did not dare to shoot arrows, so as to protect the safety of the besiegers.

"Siege—"

The general who led the army to attack the city shouted.

The soldiers of the Qin State used all their strength to push the siege equipment. In the front row are twenty large ladders, the ladder is a military chariot, with four wheels, above the wheel is a space, separated by thick wooden planks, which can hide soldiers to protect them from injury, so that they can maintain their physical strength, they can quickly climb the cloud robbery, on the city wall can be more persistent, hold the ladder for colleagues to climb up, so as to achieve the purpose of taking the city wall.

Under the city wall of the ladder Dada City, the soldiers in the warehouse immediately came out and erected the ladder to the top of the ladder
