Yan Wang Kang three years, February 22.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky is getting brighter.

On the south bank of the Qiyi River, a thin layer of white mist spreads on the ground like a white veil.

Li Min, who was standing on top of the flagship, was watching a group of Yan troops land on the shore and line up in formation.

Behind him, a large number of Yan soldiers stood. The Yan army is strictly governed, except for the orders from the Yan army on the ship and the shore, and the footsteps of the whole army, there is no other sound.

Li Min raised the telescope in his hand and looked ahead. In the mist, the walls of a city were faintly visible. This is the city that Li Min's department must conquer on this trip - Daicheng.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Li Min turned to the generals behind him and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, ahead is the Daicheng that our army must capture. Our army has penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and if we fail to capture the city, our army will die without a place to bury. ”

The generals of the Yan Army and Navy were all solemn at this time.

A naval general stepped forward, clenched his fists and asked, "Commander, the last general asks for help." I am willing to lead my troops and seize the city of Dai. ”

Before the admiral could finish speaking, another admiral's voice came from the side:

"Army commander, the last general is also willing to lead the officers and soldiers of my brigade to attack the city."

The division commander Wang Youde stood up, bowed to Li Min and said, "General, the last general is willing to personally lead our army to attack Daicheng." ”

Seeing that the admirals were not afraid to fight, Li Min was very relieved in his heart.

After glancing at the generals, he immediately ordered:

"Good! If our army has this ambition, it will be able to seize Daicheng. Pass on my general's order, all officers and soldiers, all ashore. ”

Daicheng is on the south side of the Qiyi River, and with Li Min's military order, one after another warships docked in turn, and a large number of Yan troops landed from the boats and began to form a team.

At this time, there is no longer any possibility of concealment.

Li Min had already heard the panicked shouts of Zhao Jun at the head of the city in front of him.

Although it is a navy, there is no shortage of siege equipment. After all the officers and men landed on the shore, a large number of naval officers and men began to prepare in advance the assembly of siege equipment such as catapults, siege vehicles, and ladders from the ship and carry them downward.

These siege equipment components can be assembled and used immediately after the army arrives in the city.

The number of siege equipment was not large, there were only six catapults, but they were enough.

A scout with a man dressed in ordinary people's clothes hurriedly ran over and reported to Li Minyu:

"General, this person is my intelligence officer on behalf of the city, and there is an urgent military intelligence report."

The intelligence officer got down on one knee and reported:

"General Qiyu, the intelligence personnel of our Yan Kingdom lurking in Daicheng, Liu Qi, the lieutenant colonel of the Daicheng Intelligence Bureau, have a letter, and now our intelligence officers in Daicheng have made all preparations to cooperate with our army to capture Daicheng. This is a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Liu Qi, please read it by the general. ”

Li Min took the letter in this person's hand and unfolded it.

After reading the information, Li Min couldn't help but say loudly: "Okay." ”

Raising his head, he said to Wang Youde and other Yan army generals behind him:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the personnel of our intelligence bureau have made preparations in the city, our army will mainly attack the north wall of Daicheng, and after the battle starts, we will send troops to attack the east city, and someone will open the city gate."

The generals of the Yan Army beside Li Min all had smiles on their faces when they heard this.

Looking at the generals who were waiting for his order, Li Min faced Wang Youde and said:

"General Wang, our army should not rest, immediately attack Daicheng, and you will supervise the battle in the Chinese army with General Ben."

"No." Wang Youde bowed down and received the order.

The Zhao army in the land of Daicheng has been transferred to the pass of the front mountain range to block the main force of the Yan army led by Le Jian. There were not many Zhao troops guarding Daicheng, less than three thousand in total.

Gongsun Yong, the general of the Zhao army guarding Daicheng, did not expect that the Yan army would come from the Qiyi River.

After the Zhao army found the ship carrying the Yan army, he hurriedly reported it to Gongsun Yong, the general of the Zhao army defending the city.

Fortunately, at this hour in the morning, the gates of Daicheng had not yet been opened. Gongsun hurriedly summoned the Zhao army to the city to garrison, and ordered the young men in the city to also go to the city to cooperate with the Zhao army to defend the city.

For a while, in the entire Daicheng City, chickens and dogs jumped and panicked.

By the time the Yan army had finished its formation, the sky was already bright, the morning sun was rising in the east, and the mist had all dispersed.

Standing on top of the city, Zhao Junshou looked out at Gongsun.

The red banners of all the units of the Yan Army had been raised at this time. The Yan army was one flag after another, and many large and small flags fluttered in the breeze, connecting into one, and the heaven and earth were suddenly slaughtered.

The Yan army, which had lined up in formation, had already begun to line up in a neat horizontal queue, slowly pressing towards Daicheng.

In the Daihou Mansion in the city, Liu Qi, who was wearing Zhao Jun's clothes, was speaking to the sweaty soldiers:

"Daihou, our army has arrived at the city and is about to start attacking the city, I am now leading my subordinates to cooperate with our army. The generals defending the city in the east city, there is no problem, right? ”

Dai Bing wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and hurriedly said to Liu Qi:

"Mr. Liu Qi, rest assured, the generals who defend the city in Dongcheng are the sons of my mansion, and there is no problem."

Liu Qi nodded, bowed to the substitute soldier and said:

"Daihou, you can go to Dongcheng here, after the battle is over, Daihou should be the first to take credit."

With that, he turned and walked out.

With a wave of his hand, one or two dozen people dressed as Zhao Jun outside the house followed Liu Qi to the outside of the mansion together.

Dai Bing looked at Liu Qi's figure in the distance, and couldn't help praying to the sky:

"Heavenly ancestors bless, we must let the Yan army succeed in capturing the city. Otherwise......"

At this time, the substitute soldiers had heard from the north that they had never heard before, like the sound of thunder.

In the military formation of the Yan army outside the city, a major sent by Li Minchao to persuade him to surrender asked:

"In this way, Gongsun Yong, the general of the Zhao army, is unwilling to surrender to our army."

"Yes, General. The subordinates went to shout, but Gongsun scolded and refused to surrender to our army. ”

The major replied to Li Mindao.

Li Min raised his head, looked at the city wall in front of him, his face was hideous, and he said loudly word by word:

"In that case, our army will immediately attack the city. After the city of Daicheng was breached, the general would have taken the head of Gongsun. ”

"Is the catapult assembled?" Li Min asked.

"General Qiyu, the six catapults have been assembled."

"Push Ben forward."

"No."

With the catapult assembled in the rear of the Yan army, it was pushed to the front. Under the order of "release", six huge cobblestones roared towards the head of the dynasty city.

There were a few loud bangs, and three boulders hit the city wall, and suddenly the boulders exploded, flying out countless rubble.

The officers and soldiers of the two armies only felt a shock to the city wall, and the defenders of Zhao State who smashed on the boulder above the city head all turned into meat foam and fell down in the screams.

As the capital of the original Daicheng, Daicheng is very strong, and it cannot be smashed down by catapults alone.

Zhao Junshou Gongsun Yong, his eyes flashed coldly, and he shouted to the generals beside him:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this general will receive the grace of the country, and he can only die in battle, who dares to shake the heart of the army, and this general will not be spared. When the Yan army came here, it was a lone army. As long as our army holds the city for two days, our front army can return, and we will be able to annihilate the Yan army under our city. ”

"I am willing to fight to the death with the general."

When the generals of Zhao Guozhong heard this, they made a promise and decided to fight to the death.

Very close to the walls of Daijo, tall shields were erected. Behind the shield, the Sui Rifle in the hands of the Yan Navy had begun to shoot at the head of the city.

Li Min raised his hand on the makeshift command platform and waved, pointed to the city wall in front of him and ordered:

"Order our army, siege the city."

At the sound of an order, many naval officers and soldiers of the Yan Kingdom shouted "kill" and rushed towards the city wall with a cloud ladder.

The archers of the Zhao army also began to return fire from the city to the Yan army below the city.

Because the officers and men of the navy are all dressed in leather armor, the protection on their bodies is not as good as that of the army.

Under the blow of the arrows of the Zhao army, many Yan soldiers fell under the city of Daicheng.

Li Min looked at all this, his face was expressionless, but he hated it in his heart.

Turning to Wang Youde beside him, he ordered: "General Wang, you lead a brigade of officers and soldiers to attack the city in a hurry. If the gates are not opened, do not storm them, report quickly, and wait for the military order. ”

Wang Youde gave his hand and said, "No." ”

Li Min made full preparations before coming to Daicheng. If the intelligence officers in Daicheng City fail to respond, they are ready to use explosives packs to blow up the city walls while forcibly attacking the city. No matter how costly the siege is, it will not be spared.

On the tower of the eastern city of Daicheng, Liu Qi was facing a general of the Zhao army beside him:

"General Dai, then everything is up to you."

Listening to the sound of fighting from the north city wall, the general of the Zhao army hurriedly bowed down and said to Liu Qi:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu Qi, the last generals have all been arranged, and the battle will be together, and the last general will immediately kill the cronies sent by Gongsun Yong, open the city gate, and welcome your army into the city."

Liu Qi laughed and said to this Zhao army general:

"General Dai, it's not your army anymore, it's our army."

After hearing this, the general of the Zhao army immediately reacted and said repeatedly:

"What Mr. Liu said is extremely true, it is our army, it is our army."

The battle of the Beicheng Yan army to attack the city was white-hot from the beginning.

Up and down the city, thick smoke billowed and there was a sound of killing.

People are constantly dying, moaning, screaming, endless.

Many soldiers of the Yan army, urged by the drums behind them, went forward to attack Daicheng one after another.

At this moment, a deafening sound suddenly came from Dongcheng.

"Oh no, the Yan army has entered the city, run away!"

Gongsun Yong, the general of the Zhao army defending the city, heard this and said angrily:

"Who is this? Dare to shake the heart of our army at this time. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of his own guards, covered in blood, running up to the city, and said to Gongsun:

"General, the East Gate guard has opened the city gate and let the Yan army enter the city."

As soon as Gongsun Yong heard this, he knew what was going on, and faced the direction of the Daihou Mansion in the city, and scolded in a sad voice:

"Daihou, even if the general arrives in the Netherworld, he will not let you go."

At this time, Li Min also heard the news from Dongcheng and laughed.

"Kill, kill me into the city."

The war drums of the Yan army camp beat more rapidly. And the roar of guns and fire thunders was also heard in the city of Daicheng, and the sound of fighting inside and outside the city was connected. In many parts of the city, smoke from fires was also lit.

Many soldiers of Zhao Guo above the city, and even the young men who assisted in defending the city, saw that the city of Daicheng had been broken, and they no longer had any intention of fighting, so they fled down the city one after another.

Gongsun Yong had just chopped a Yan soldier who had climbed up to the top of the city, and when he saw this situation, he laughed miserably, and ran towards another Yan soldier who climbed up the city.

After a burst of gunfire, the city guard Gongsun Yong fell in a pool of blood.

In the third year of Yan Wangkang (252 B.C.), February 20.

On behalf of the county capital of Zhao State, Daicheng was conquered by the Yan army, and Gongsun Yong, the defender of the city, was killed in battle.
