Outside the city

The 100,000 infantry formations were neatly arranged, and every soldier had blazing eyes and high morale.

These border troops from Shangjun are the most trusted and strongest team in Fusu.

From the ambush in Muhuai County to the defeat of the Xiongnu royal court in one fell swoop, nearly 200,000 surrendered troops of the Xiongnu and Donghu were captured alive.

and then to the counterattack on the Central Plains, all of which were big victories along the way.

For these elite border troops who have followed the expedition since Shangjun, the belief in invincibility has been deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Even the fierce Hun cavalry, in a hard fight on the grassland, were killed to the point of losing their armor, and finally had to put down their weapons and surrender.

What's more, these Southern Legions who have not yet seen the advanced weapons of the upper county!

Along the way, there were defenders of the county town who saw it.

However, they have all become captives and have no chance to pass on the news.

Some of those who fled the city were also stopped by the Flying Cavalry.

Fusu attaches great importance to information.

In particular, the generals of Great Qin are still thinking in the most primitive hand-to-hand combat, at most they can find favorable terrain to set up an ambush.

For the rest, nothing has changed more.

And the explosives bag and repeater crossbow that Fusu made are the cross-era killing weapons when attacking the city!

In the successive battles, it has also been confirmed.

In the case of surprise, brilliant results can be received every time.

Therefore, the opposing camps still do not know how strong the border army really is.

Even the cities that were taken.

It is only known that the border army has a kind of siege vehicle wrapped in iron sheets.

As soon as you move under the city gates, there will be a deafening loud noise.

And then

And the gates were gone.

The adobe walls are gone.

This style of play goes one place and destroys another, which is simply invincible!

In later generations, a certain military strength showed millions of armies and invincible torrents of steel.

As a result, another country that did the same has built a powerful torrent of steel.

Unfortunately, he was defeated by the new lightning tactics in one fell swoop.

The whole world is amazed!

When the details of that battle were revealed, the strategy and tactics were completely refreshed.

Therefore, the current border army has mastered new tactics, but one is in the secrecy stage, so it can catch the enemy off guard every time.

It is also thanks to this era that communication relies on roaring, so that the time for revealing secrets can be delayed as much as possible.

Li Jing's camp was stationed on top of a hill, condescending to look down on the earth.

With the assistance of another strategic mass killer telescope, he clearly observed the situation on the other side.

It can be clearly seen that the city is still full of archers.

The trebuchet was already full, and huge stones were placed.

A pot of golden soup, steaming hot on the fire.

For Fusu, these stenching golden soups are the most disgusting!

Once it is poured over the boiling broth, the skin will immediately open and the flesh will bloom.

Moreover, the bacterial content in the golden soup is very high, which is extremely easy to cause wound infection.

In this era when there are no antibiotics, once the wound is infected, there is basically no salvation!

Fortunately, the golden soup can only cause damage to the soldiers who climb the city walls.

The salvo of crossbows with a powerful range suppressed the people at the head of the city and couldn't raise their heads.

You can't even stand up and shoot an arrow quickly, let alone stand there and pour gold like a target.

I'm afraid that before the golden soup is poured, the sergeant carrying the pot will be shot and killed, making the city stench!

After the explosives pack came out, if it wasn't for the kind of big county town that needed to keep the city walls, they would basically not climb the city walls again.

It's more convenient to blow up the adobe wall directly!

Li Jing put down the telescope in his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Blow the horn!" ”

Woo

Suddenly, a melodious horn sounded.

This is to inform the whole army that the big war is about to begin!

Click!

At the same time, 30,000 light cavalry also began to run around the city.

The dull sound of horses' hooves made the momentum even stronger.

In the government office, a group of people are distressed to discuss countermeasures.

Among these people, some proposed desperate resistance, and some proposed Kaesong surrender.

The two sides argued endlessly, but no consensus was reached.

After all, it is a choice of life and death, and it is difficult for anyone to convince anyone.

Zhao Tuogao sat on the head, his brows tightened, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Tell the truth

He had the idea of opening the city, but he was afraid that he would be liquidated afterwards.

If it is really to be liquidated, I am afraid that the entire family will be slaughtered!

While everyone was in distress, the sound of a long trumpet came into the city.

Suddenly, everyone's faces changed!

Although they couldn't see the situation outside, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look outside.

The generals, in particular, clearly know what this horn represents.

This is a final warning to them!

If you don't surrender, when the drums beat outside, it's time to attack!

Cold sweat was already oozing from Zhao Tuo's forehead.

Eagerly asked, "How is the city defense?" ”

One of the generals immediately spoke: "The archers are all deployed on the city wall, and the golden soup and catapults are ready!" As long as they dare to attack the city, they can know what it means to be impregnable! ”

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly, and he was relieved in his heart.

Judging by his many years of combat experience.

There are 80,000 defenders, more than enough to hold out for a month!

It's just that the grain and grass are only enough for half a month.

Once there is no food and grass, you can't let the soldiers go to war on an empty stomach, right?

If you don't get it right, you'll mutiny!

Seeing this, a civil official who agreed with the insistence immediately stepped forward and said: "The lower official has ordered people to collect grain and grass from the people in the city, and I want to have enough for the army for a month!" ”

Suddenly, smiles appeared on the faces of those who agreed with perseverance.

As long as you can stick to it, you will have a chance.

Even if the city is to be opened in the end, it will be a peace negotiation to open the city, not a surrender.

Only through peace talks can interests be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

At the very least, it retains a little bit of military power.

Anyway, one thing is certain, if you are killed, you will never go to Xianyang to take up a post!

Staying in the south, with the power of self-preservation, the possibility of liquidation in the future is also a little smaller.

Zhao Tuo also has this kind of thought.

The other party is a southern expedition, and the 150,000 soldiers eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount.

If you can't attack for a long time, you will certainly have a hard time, and the other party may not be able to withstand the consumption of a protracted war.

When the time comes, if you send someone to attack the grain road, you may be able to force the other side to negotiate peace.

At that time, you can make a request!

As for whether the people in the city will starve to death if their grain and grass are expropriated.

That's not something that the people present need to take care of.

Once the city is broken, even they themselves may die, who has the leisure to care about the life and death of the people in the city.

"Alas, it's just a misery for the people of the city! When the time comes to retreat from the enemy, General Ben will not forget their merits! ”

Zhao Tuo raised his head and sighed, with a sad and compassionate sigh.

Immediately, his face turned straight.

Resolutely ordered: "Stick to the city wall, those who dare to retreat, behead!" ”

"No!"

A military general below received the order, and turned around to convey the general's order.

suddenly

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The four sides of the city wall, there was an earth-shattering loud noise!
