"Order the troops to get ready, and I'll shoot him tomorrow."

The first to come back from Handan City were the soldiers who sent a letter to the city defense army, and the result was as Li Ling thought, they would not choose to surrender at all, and they were not afraid of Li Ling's so-called threat.

There are only 10,000 Qin troops, and they are all hiding in a distant place, not daring to approach Handan City, so such a force dares to threaten themselves?

The Handan guard sent back the soldiers who delivered the letter with a casual few words, and even threatened that if Li Ling dared to be so contemptuous again, he would lead the army out of Handan City and let Li Ling know how powerful Zhao Guonan was.

Towards the evening, another soldier who went to deliver a letter to Guo Kai also returned to the camp, but he was not as lucky as the previous soldier, when this person went out of the city, he was directly stripped of his essence by the city defense army, and finally ran out of the city wearing only a straw mat thrown to him by the city defense army, as miserable as he was.

"What did Guo Kai say?"

"He just said that he would carefully consider the boss's suggestion, and nothing else."

"Well, I see, you have a good rest, and see if someone else can get some clothes for you......"

Guo Kai didn't say it to death, which meant that he did have this idea, but Li Ling didn't know whether he didn't see Li Ling's strength or because Li Ling's price was too small, so he didn't have a clear answer.

Since you want to wait for the price and sell, then I will give you a fresh and comfortable price.

Recognize the situation and do not put up fearless resistance, lest you get burned. ’

On the eighteen straw mats, huge characters are written in bright red vermilion lacquer.

Early the next morning, the genius was bright, and the defenders of Handan City saw that these words were placed by the Qin army at some point, only a hundred steps away from the moat of Handan City.

Where have you ever seen this kind of propaganda slogan?

However, he knew very well that he could not let these things be placed here, otherwise it would have a great impact on the morale of the army.

Thinking that the place where the straw mats were placed was quite far away from the Qin army, and was within the range of his archers, the guard immediately decided to send a dozen people out of the city to gather all those straw mats, and then planned to burn them down.

The drawbridge outside the city gate was slowly lowered, and more than a dozen Zhao soldiers observed at the city gate for a while, and after making sure that there was no Qin army nearby, they crossed the drawbridge and walked to the place where the straw mat was.

However, not far after they walked out of the drawbridge, suddenly several gunshots rang out in the wilderness, and in an instant, five of the Zhao soldiers who tried to come out and burn the straw mats fell to the ground, but only two were killed on the spot, the remaining three were lying on the ground wailing in pain, and the rest of the uninjured people fled directly back to Handan City.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Looking at it, there was no trace of the Qin army at all, but the soldiers sent out by himself fell to the ground solidly, and the guard general couldn't care so much, just a rain of arrows, and then immediately sent a team of men and horses with shields to snatch the three injured and not dead back to the city.

"Are you sure?"

"Boss, don't worry!"

"Alright, let's fire!"

On a high ground in the distance, a soldier of the artillery company of the 1st Division of the 38th Army had already adjusted the mortar in front of him, and with Li Ling's order, a shell was about to be sent into the chamber.

Just listening to the bang, the cannonball flew out of the barrel in an instant, and a moment later, with a loud bang, the cannonball exploded next to Zhao Jun, who was relying on the shield to cover the front, killing several people on the spot, and the shield was also knocked to the ground by the shock wave.

Immediately afterwards, almost at the same time, bang, bang, several gunshots rang out in a row, and the soldiers of the Zhao army, who had lost their shield cover, were shot and killed several people by cold guns in a row.

Didn't find where the gunshots came from, although the Handan guards found Li Ling's traces, but the distance was too far to threaten Li Ling, seeing that there was no way, they could only hurriedly order people to retreat, as for those soldiers who were injured and not dead, they could only be abandoned.

However, the defender did not completely cut off the life of those men, and the others retreated, but the drawbridge was not raised, and the gates were not closed.

However, will they really be able to return to Handan alive in this way?

The gunmen, who were nowhere to be seen, fired a shot from time to time, and any wounded soldiers who tried to escape back to the city were shot one by one.

Seeing this situation, the remaining wounded could only endure the severe pain and lay on the ground without moving, not daring to move, allowing the blood to continue to flow out.

Li Ling stopped for a day and a night, in fact, to create a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart for the defenders of Handan!

From nightfall, he sent people out to a place less than 400 meters away from the moat outside Handan City, dug a long trench overnight, and then covered the trench with wooden planks, shields and other items, leaving only shooting holes, and covered it with loess and a large number of weeds and debris to hide.

Inside this trench, twenty-five sharpshooters were stationed at this moment, each carrying three hundred rounds of ammunition!

As for the slogans written on straw mats, one is the so-called persuasion to surrender, and the other is to lure Zhao Jun out, and then let these sharpshooters take the opportunity to shoot some of them and then injure some of Zhao soldiers, so as to give Zhao Jun a heavy psychological blow.

"The arrows were wrapped in oilcloth and burned the straw mats."

There was no trace of the gunner, and the wounded soldiers could not be saved, so the guard had no choice but to deal with those straw mats first.

However, at the moment when the archers, as requested by the generals, found the oil cloth and wrapped it in the arrows, they were about to light the flames and shoot them in the direction of the straw mats!

In the distance, Li Ling suddenly took out a signal gun, and it was a shot that shot into the sky.

With a whoosh, a red flare shot into the sky.

"What are these Northwest barbarians going to do?"

Having never seen a flame floating in the air in broad daylight, the guard couldn't help but wonder, and the soldiers at the head of the city all looked up at the flare in mid-air, also not knowing what it was.

Just as the red signal flare was slowly falling, and the light point slowly dimmed, dozens of black dots suddenly appeared in the sky, dragging a long smoke straight towards Handan City!

That signal flare is Li Ling's order!

After seeing the flare lifted into the air, the shooters, who had already made all preparations for launching, immediately put the torches in their hands behind the 107mm arrow shells that had been smashed open and placed on the improvised launch pad.

As the letter tube was ignited by the torch, 107mm arrow shells were fired at a very fast speed, dragging a long tail flame, heading straight for Handan City!

At this moment, the soldiers in Handan City were completely unaware of how much disaster these small black dots flying rapidly in the sky would bring to the people in Handan City.
