Qin State Chapter 186 Zhang Han's plan

"Siege."

The soldiers of the Qin army pushed the ladder and began to attack Langya City, the ladder is a relatively simple siege equipment, the whole is composed of two parts, the following is a board car made with four wheels, and the top is a ladder that can be retracted and folded, when he saw this thing for the first time, Li Qing didn't believe it, this thing is actually the legendary ladder, Li Qing has always thought that the ladder is a relatively long ladder.

In addition to the ladder, the Qin army also prepared a battering ram, which was a city-breaking weapon made of logs wrapped in iron sheets, and the bottom was also propelled by a cart.

"Whoosh"

One by one, the soldiers of the Qin army fell on the way forward, and on the tower of Langya City, the rebels rained down arrows, and they didn't know how many arrows they had.

Attacking a city with a strong army is always a way of fighting, and the losses of the besieging side will always be far more than the defending side, especially now, the Qin army besieging the city is less than the rebel army defending the city, so it is even more difficult to break through the city.

"Look, General."

Zhang Ping pointed to the city tower with an angry face and said, the anger in his eyes was about to erupt out of his eyes.

Zhang Han looked at it fixedly, and he was so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, it turned out that there were two heads hanging on the flagpole of the enemy city tower, which were the heads of Zhang Gu and Lu Fang.

Zhang Ping took off his helmet, threw it aside, and said, "General, let me personally lead someone to rush." ”

Zhang Han shook his head, worried that Zhang Ping would lose, this siege is not the time for personal bravery, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't do anything in the face of the rain of arrows on the city tower.

Li Qing is also the first time to see this kind of large-scale siege warfare, I have to say that the rebels are not as weak as imagined, although the rebels are poorly equipped and lack of fighting spirit, but once they kill the red eyes, these rebels who were originally just ordinary people can also burst out with unimaginable power.

"Ahh

A Qin soldier was shot in the eye by an arrow, covered his eyes and fell to the ground, the Qin soldier behind him didn't pay attention, and stepped directly on his body, and after a while, the soldier was trampled into flesh.

War is never beautiful, after paying a great price, the Qin army finally put the ladder on the wall of Langya City, the ladder rose, and the two iron hooks on the ladder were hooked on the women's wall, which played a fixed role.

"Soldiers, kill."

The Qin soldiers shouted and began to climb up the ladder.

"Pour me the golden juice."

On the tower of the city, looking at the Qin army that kept climbing upward, the rebels began to pour gold juice, and a pot of hot gold juice poured down on the heads of the Qin soldiers.

"Ah~"

The soldiers of the Qin Army, who were doused with gold juice, fell down from the ladder with a scream, and still kept rolling and screaming after falling to the ground.

Gold juice, although it sounds good, is actually nothing more than hot dung juice, and it brings not only burns, but also fatal infections.

In ancient times, the sanitary conditions were extremely poor, and once infected by bacteria in the fecal juice, it was basically equivalent to getting a pass to the underworld.

The Qin army's attack lasted from morning to afternoon, but it was never able to capture Langya City, and even the number of times they climbed the rebel tower was very small.

Li Qing came to Zhang Han and said: "General, we can't attack anymore, we don't have many soldiers and horses to brought, and if we continue to consume like this, even if we take Langya City, I'm afraid there will be no more soldiers and horses left in us." ”

Zhang Han stared at the rebel tower and said: "General Li Qing, after all, you have not experienced war, soldiers, on the battlefield, it is a life of nine deaths, as long as you can take Langya City, even if the whole army is annihilated, I will not hesitate." ”

Li Qing looked at Zhang Han with a strange look, according to Li Qing's understanding, Zhang Han should not be such a person, as a generation of famous generals, not to mention loving soldiers like sons, but at least human life should not be regarded as a mustard.

Zhang Han didn't explain, he just gave the order to attack over and over again, the soldiers of the Qin army attacked in turn, and when it was time to collect the troops, except for the mastiff tribe warriors under Li Qing's command who obeyed Li Qing's orders, there were very few other Qin troops who could fight.

On the city tower, Tian Tai's eyes showed a look of doubt, the Qin army did not have many soldiers and horses, and yesterday he fell into Tian Tai's plan and lost most of it, coupled with today's strong attack, the remnants of the Qin army are no more than a thousand people, Zhang Han's attack method, is it because of yesterday's hatred that he lost his mind?

Beside Tian Tai, a Confucian said: "Prime Minister, the Qin army doesn't have many soldiers and horses, it seems that they should be ready to retreat, it's better for us to kill at night and capture Zhang Hansheng, which will definitely make the Qin army discouraged." ”

Tian Tai touched his beard and thought carefully about the words of Confucius, this Confucian is a Confucian disciple, called Wang Jie, and he is Tian Tai's military advisor, whether it is to kill Yan Ying or deceive and kill Zhang Han, it is a plan that Wang Dai came up with.

Tian Tai said: "After all, Zhang Han is a general of the Qin army, so he shouldn't make this kind of mistake, maybe he just wants to lure us into sending troops, in my opinion, let's wait." ”

Wang Jie said: "According to the report of Tanmalai, the soldiers and horses of Jibei and Beihai County will soon join forces with Zhang Han, if Zhang Han gets the soldiers and horses of those two counties, our pressure will be great, and now Zhang Han has few soldiers around him, as long as Zhang Han is killed, the soldiers and horses of the other two counties will definitely not dare to continue to march, so that before the next batch of troops of the Qin army arrives, we can develop with peace of mind and train soldiers and horses." ”

Zhang Han returned to the camp and counted the soldiers and horses, and there were only more than 500 soldiers and horses left in the entire Qin army camp, of course, among these more than 500 people, they did not include the mastiff tribe warriors under Li Qing's command, these warriors were equivalent to Li Qing's private soldiers.

Zhang Han summoned Li Qing to discuss the matter, and after Li Qing entered Zhang Han's tent, he found that in addition to himself, there was a middle-aged man with a sallow face in the tent, this man, Li Qing had never seen before.

Zhang Han pointed to the man and introduced to Li Qing: "General Li Qing, this is the prime minister of Jibei, General Zisong. ”

Li Qing's eyes lit up, Jibei Xiang, could it be that the reason why Zhang Han was so crazy during the day was because the Jibei army arrived in advance.

Zhang Han saw Li Qing's thoughts, and said: "Yes, General Zisong's soldiers and horses have arrived last night, and now they are lurking in the dense forests of Beishan, the Langya city wall is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the rebels hold the city, we are afraid that it will be difficult to take Langya City for several months, so I have made a plan to lure the rebels out of Langya City." ”

Li Qing thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses General Zisong has?" ”

Zisong smiled and said: "General Li Qing, I brought four thousand elites, my Jibei Army is well-trained, although I dare not say that it is more powerful than the generals under the general's command, but I still don't pay attention to the rebels." ”
