As we enter April, the nights are not so cold.

The bright moon in the sky shone brightly, sprinkling silver light on the military camp of the Zhao army under Fancheng City.

Zhao Jun came to Fancheng on the evening of the 15th, and it has been three days since today. Facing a small Fan City, the entire 100,000 army suffered heavy casualties, but it still did not conquer Fan City.

The veteran Lian Po knew that in the Zhao army camp, there were many Zhao army soldiers and soldiers, and anxiety had begun to spread.

The main general in the camp was in the big tent, and Lian Po went back and forth in the tent.

A breeze blew, and the air was filled with a smell of blood, which made Lian Po's mood even more irritable.

At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Lian Po's personal guard led Lian Feng and walked into the tent.

Looking at the armor, helmet, and a long, but bent "burning stick"-like thing in his hand, which Lian Feng put on the desk in his big tent, Lian Po's eyes widened.

"This is Yan Jun's equipment?" Lian Po asked.

"Yes, General. This is what was obtained when carrying back the casualties of our army under the city. ”

Lian Feng replied, and took out an "iron bump" from his arms that was extinguished because the fuse was extinguished and did not explode.

"General, this iron lump is what the Yan army called the "hand fire mine", which caused great casualties to our army. ”

Lian Po took two steps forward and came to the desk.

first looked at Yan Jun's armor and helmet on the desk, and there were obviously blood stains on the armor and helmet.

Lian Po picked up Yan Jun's helmet and shook it in his hand.

Unexpectedly, this one looks unusually sturdy, with a semi-circular shape and a helmet inlaid with a mask that goes up and down freely. Compared to the helmet worn by Zhao Jun, the weight is so light.

Judging from the obvious burn marks on the outside of the helmet, this helmet was probably used as a clay pot in the event of an emergency.

For this Yan Jun's helmet, others probably didn't think so much.

At most, I think that Yan Jun's helmet is designed to be delicate and sturdy, and there will not be many ideas.

But for Lian Po, as a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, he has seen a lot from this helmet.

First of all, in terms of materials, the materials used for this helmet are superior to any army in the Central Plains.

Secondly, in terms of logistics support, this helmet is sometimes used as a clay pot by the Yan army. Then, the logistics support capability of the Yan army will be greatly improved.

Lian Po put down Yan Jun's helmet and looked at Yan Jun's armor on the table.

The material of the armor is the same as that used in the helmet, but it is much thinner.

Different from the block-like link armor of the Central Plains countries, it is basically divided into two parts, both of which are cast as a whole, connected by buttons in the middle, and lined with woolen cloth inside, so as to reduce the friction damage of the armor to the soldiers.

The materials of these casting helmets and armors, if they were placed in the Central Plains countries, would definitely be treated as "heirlooms" by any general. But now, these things are worn and used by an ordinary soldier of the Yan Army.

"Yan Guo is too extravagant!" The veteran Lian Po sighed.

At the same time, Lian Po felt a deep chill in his heart.

As for the "burning stick" that was smashed into a curved shape, but could spew fire, the structure behind it had been smashed, so Lian Po didn't know how to make it? Lian Po only knew that this thing made the Zhao army who was besieging the city suffer.

Lian Po picked up the "hand fire thunder" that did not explode again, and he was even more frightened.

"This so-called "hand fire thunder", have the craftsmen of our army seen it? Lian Po asked Lian Feng again.

"General Qiyu, the craftsmen have seen it, but this is the overall structure, and I don't know what is inside." Lian Feng replied.

Lian Po pondered for a while, and then instructed Lian Feng:

"Send these equipment and weapons of the captured Yan Army back to Handan as soon as possible and give them an understanding of the investigation. The equipment and weapons of our army are too different from those of the Yan army, and once they are ......"

Lian Po didn't say any more and shook his head.

Lian Feng, who has been following the veteran Lian Po for more than ten years, naturally understands the inner thoughts of his general at this time.

With such equipment and weapons, once the Yan army enters the Zhao State on a large scale, the Zhao State will not be able to resist it at all!

After witnessing the weapons and equipment of the Yan Army, this huge gap couldn't help but make a trace of gloom flash in the eyes of the veteran Lian Po. Compared with the Yan Army, the gap in the weapons and equipment of the Zhao Army is really too big!

What Lian Po didn't know was that Zhao Yi, the commander of the Qin army, when facing the captured equipment and weapons of the Yan army, had the same thoughts in his heart as he did, and they all sighed again and again.

"How are the wounded soldiers of our army being placed?" Lian Po asked Lian Feng again.

Lian Feng clasped his fists and said to Lian Po: "General, it has been properly placed." It's okay to say that the lightly wounded are okay, but the seriously injured can only ......"

Lian Po waved his hand and didn't let Lian Feng continue.

Lian Feng looked at Lian Po's expression and suggested to Lian Po:

"General, our army has attacked Van Cheng for two days and one night, and there are too many dead and wounded. Since the two wars of Changping and Handan, our army has had insufficient domestic troops. If it continues like this, my Zhao country will be worried! ”

After listening to Lian Feng's words, Lian Po sighed and said to his close guards:

"It's cheap! Since I, Zhao Guo, joined Lian Heng Yan, there has been no way out. Only in this battle, our army, regardless of the cost, inflicted heavy losses on the Yan army. Otherwise, once it fails, I Zhao Guo ...... I, Zhao Guo, will have the worry of losing the country! ”

"Ben will do this precisely because he knows the gravity of the consequences of this battle. But I didn't expect that a small county would block my 100,000-strong army under the city, leaving our army helpless. ”

"It seems that the Yan army in Fan Cheng has been prepared for a long time. Not only the city wall of Fan City has been reinforced, but also the rolling wood, stones, soup oil, bows and crossbows in the city are readily available. Calling for battle, they ignore it; Attacking the city, they swore to resist to the death. ”

"No matter how many it is, our army has suffered a lot of casualties, and the general thinks that the Yan army defending the city also has a lot of casualties, and they are almost unable to hold on. Tomorrow, our army will attack with all its might, and we must capture this Fan City. Lian Feng, our army can't afford to drag it out! ”

Hearing this, Lian Feng fell silent.

On the head of Fancheng, the commander of the naval brigade Wang Youde took his personal guards to inspect it, and then returned to the county capital in the city, and in the house where he lived, he lay on the couch despite the wounds and blood stains on his body, and fell asleep.

After two days and one night of fighting, more than 3,000 naval officers and men had already lost a small amount and a half.

This is true for the Navy, and the casualties of reserve divisions are even greater.

Wang Youde, including Brigadier General Ma Liang, knew that if the reinforcements did not arrive tomorrow, this Fan City might not be able to be saved. In the hearts of all the generals, they all had the idea of sacrificing their lives for the country at this time.

Ma Liang stood on top of the city and looked at the injured left arm of the deputy general Gu Tao.

"General Gu Tao, are you wounded?"

"Today, the Zhao army attacked the city, and accidentally let the enemy's arrows hit."

Gu Tao smiled and said disappreciatively.

Ma Liang knew that his old classmate was by no means a greedy person who was afraid of death, and when defending the city, he always took the lead and charged ahead. Ma Liang is very concerned about Gu Tao's injury.

"Old classmate, even if you are injured, you can go back to the city and rest." Ma Liang said again.

"It doesn't matter to me, you are the main general, but you have to go back and have a good rest."

Ma Liang sighed and said to Gu Tao:

"Are you still going to be strong in front of me? It's just that you have to rest for two or three hours, and tomorrow the Zhao army will attack the city in a big way, you can't keep spending like this. The soldiers should also take turns to rest, so don't be reckless, and go to rest. ”

Hearing Ma Liang say this, Gu Tao no longer insisted, and bowed down to Ma Liang:

"Okay, I'll listen to you, go down and rest right now. Remember, you should also take the time to take a break. ”

"Alright, alright, I know." Ma Liang replied with a smile.

After Gu Tao went down to the city, Ma Liang said to a man beside him who was wearing ordinary people's clothes and covered in blood:

"You're from outside the city, our intelligence officer? What is your name? Ma Liang asked.

"Yes, General. Under the mark, it belongs to the Wei State Intelligence Bureau, and his name is Su Qi. The man replied.

At this time, Wu Fang, the head of Fancheng's intelligence bureau, bowed down to Ma Liang and said:

"General Qiyu, this Su Qi is indeed a member of my Intelligence Bureau, and his identity is correct."

"Oh, since it's your own person, you go to the city tower with Ben and tell me about the situation outside the city." Ma Liang commanded.

"You're in the fight today?"

"Yes, after marking the city, I saw that the war was urgent, and I couldn't help it...... couldn't help but plunge into the battle, and killed three Zhao troops who landed in the city. ”

"Su Qi, it's good, I will report your credit. However, you should also hurry out of the city at night and report the situation of our army. Tell...... Tell the generals that all the officers and men of our reserve division, including all the officers and men of the naval brigade, have decided to ...... It has been decided to fight to the last soldier and live and die with Fan City. ”

Su Qi clenched his fists and bowed, bowed deeply to Ma Liang, and said:

"Please rest assured that Su Qi will bring back the general's words. General, please take care of yourself with all the soldiers guarding the city, mark this out of the city, and go back to report it. ”

With that, Su Qi stood up, walked out of the city tower, and came to a remote place on the city wall. stepped into a basket tied with hemp rope, and let the officers and soldiers of the Yan army defending the city put themselves down.

Standing at the bottom of the city, Su Qi looked up at the head of the city and saw several young officers and soldiers of the reserve division, smiling and waving goodbye to himself under the light of torches.

Su Qi's eyes were hot, he bowed to the city again, and turned around and plunged into the night.
