Tongguan at night is completely different from the majestic in the daytime, without the protection of the sun's wings, it looks sick and about to breathe, the white hazy and fat city wall shines a flickering ghost light under the reflection of the starry sky, and the dark city gate hole is like the huge mouth of the hell demon, hideous and terrifying.

The Yellow River, which is next to it, has already formed a thick layer of ice, and because of the swelling of the water flow below, a huge "clatter" sound sounded from time to time on the glacier like a silver dragon, echoing with the strange cries of night owls in the distance, weaving gloom and fear.

The Iron Horse Glacier is coming into the night.

There is a crisp sound of horses' hooves on the Yellow River, as the sound of horses' hooves approaches, the city head immediately becomes noisy, there are torches lit up one after another, and the ice on the shining city wall shines brightly.

"Damn, this city has become a crystal palace."

The person who came here to explore the enemy city at night was none other than Xiao Quai, Sai Yang Jian, the number one rampant person in the Qin army - Jia Yin.

He hurried his horse and whipped, and when he arrived at Tongguan, it was already three o'clock in the evening, and most of the soldiers had fallen asleep. Flower Spear and Shi Heyun both came out to greet them, saying that the wine banquet had been prepared and that they would drink it tonight, but Jia Yin ignored the protests of the fireworks beast and insisted on going around Tongguan City.

"It's cold, that Cao Han doesn't care about the city bricks, he watered every night, the ice is getting thicker and thicker, and in the afternoon, after half a day of sunshine and wind, the city is muddy, and the soldiers can't carry out siege operations."

He spoke with a spear, and he cherished his horses, and when he stopped, he shielded himself from the wind with his cloak.

"Hmm."

Jiayin crossed his horse, glanced at the movement of the spear, and also felt a coldness, and raised his whip: "Go, go back to drink." ”

Bao Chao let out a strange scream, rushed out of the team, and took the lead.

Back at the forward camp, a clever sergeant came over with a blanket, quickly unsaddled and unloaded, and then put a felt blanket on the war horse, and then led it to the stable.

Jia Yin stomped his feet, only then did he realize that his feet were a little numb, and said angrily: "It's much colder here than Chang'an." ”

"The three rivers converge, all of them are ice, and they are in the tuyere, you say that it is not cold, prepare spirits, and go."

Everyone entered the camp tent and went to the fire pond together, and the leader of the army who was preparing food hurriedly said: "Generals, let me let a certain hanging pot hang up first." ”

"Hanging pot? What a good thing, so fragrant. ”

"Dog meat, Lao Tzu just thought about making a tooth sacrifice by himself, but I didn't expect you to be cheaper." Shi Heyun sat down on the horse with a big grin, and wanted to take off his boots, but in exchange for five or six pairs of eyes.

Drinking with his brothers is the most enjoyable for Jia Yin, but it's a pity that it's late at night, and he has to speak softly, otherwise this guy will have to shout and scream to be happy.

After drinking three bowls of wine, everyone got up again, but this time they took off their armor and put on a cotton robe, and the strength of the whole body was relaxed.

"Tell me about the war?"

"Okay, Yanke, you say."

"Hmm." Zhang Yanke hurriedly swallowed the dog meat in his mouth, moistened his throat with wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said with a white breath: "When our army arrived, the snow began to fall, and in preparation for two days, fifty artillery trucks were organized to smash the gunpowder canister, but the enemy army had already taken precautions, and poured water on the city to freeze, and the gunpowder canister could only hear a fart sound. ”

"General Hua thought of an idea, put the gunpowder jar in the coffin, and prepared to push it into the city gate hole to explode, imitating the Fan City example, but there are already countermeasures in the city, and it is not clear to see it this night, and you can see the tiger's head tomorrow morning, and the door hole is full of guns."

Later, it snowed again, and the weather was even colder, General Yang Ye came up with an idea, saying that the old cannon stone was slow to open and smash, and it was difficult to move, so he went directly to the river to pry the ice, cut the big ice cube into a ball, and began to throw the ice cube, but the thing was heavy, and it was a puddle of water when it hit the city, and it was useless. This mistake is two, the time is mistaken, General Zhang's meaning, simply wait for the end of the New Year. ”

Jia Yin listened carefully while drinking wine, "How can it be useless to smash the ice ball, it can't smash the city wall, it's okay to smash people." ”

Zhang Yanke said with a smile: "As soon as the cannon is opened, there is no one in the city, and all the efforts are in vain." ”

Jia Yin tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "The ice smashed over, it can't hit people, it can't hit the city, then it has to be smashed, it's still cold on this day, it is estimated that the New Year is all icy and snowy, let's smash it without stopping, is it not an iceberg in this city?" Hey, we're spending the New Year in this ice and snow wilderness, and they don't want to have a good life in the city, they can't smash it, and they will freeze to death. ”

Shi Heyun's two bull's eyes became more and more rounded, and he said, "Huzi, okay, it's a clever plan to break the enemy." ”

Jia Yin was a little puzzled: "What a clever plan to break the enemy, I don't think I can let the city be idle, we are frozen here, thanks to it." ”

“……”

Shi Heyun said: "It's not a tiger, what you said is really a clever plan, you see, you don't need to be on the right to throw ice, just smash it into the city, we have a large catapult, a small artillery cart and a small hundred, let's push the artillery cart to the river, it's not too easy to get ice." Then they smashed it day and night, and the ice froze, and the city was frozen into an iceberg, and it was up to them to defend the city. ”

Hua Lance tilted his head to look at Shi Heyun, and then looked at Jia Yin, whose eyebrows were gradually excited, and said with a smile: "Everyone is right, you kid is a lucky general." ”

"Yanke."

"Yes."

"You personally go to the camp and report this idea to General Zhang."

"Order."

It is said that the authorities are fascinated.

Whoever is a general, will only think about the gains and losses of victory and defeat, how can he be like Jia Yin, who treats the war as if he was playing, and as soon as he said this unintentional words, he woke up the people in the game.

Zhang Jianxiong heard Zhang Yanke's summons in the middle of the night, and beat the drum of the gathering at three o'clock.

Yang Ye led 500 sappers and 5,000 auxiliaries to pull all the artillery carts to throw ice and attack the city, and Shi became the deputy.

Ling Tie Zhan, Wu Jilie led 3,000 infantry to defend, and when he saw Zhao Shanbao grinding his fists and palms, he had to wave his hand and let him join in the fun.

He also ordered Jiayin to deploy for the city, saying that Ben would be afraid of the cold, so he was too lazy to join in the fun, His Majesty sent General A to labor the army, and others arrived, but the wine and meat have not yet arrived, and Ben will help you keep an eye on it.

The generals laughed, each of them divided into preparations, and at three o'clock, one by one, under the load of pack horses, the artillery carts rumbled towards Tongguan.

Jia Yin saw the brothers, howling excitedly, but he didn't expect Zhang Jianxiong to hand over all the deployment of the city to him, if so, this wine can't be drunk, he patted his head and said to Yang Ye: "I am the main deployment, you are the deputy deployment, you are in charge of this Lingqi." ”

"This ......"

Shi Cheng said with a smile: "You just have to catch it, how you should give orders, just give orders." ”

Jia Yin patted Shi Cheng's shoulder and smiled: "Since I begged my daughter-in-law, this brain has also opened up, General Yang, An Shan is right, you can only take the idea, including this former enemy camp, how to cooperate, just open your mouth, I will supervise the battle." ”

“…… Ordered. ”

Yang Ye exhaled, took the order, and began to send generals, he knew Jia Yin's intentions very well, this was for himself, otherwise, so many people, why would they give themselves such a heavy responsibility.

Zhao Shanbao was ordered to be in charge of the cannon, but the twenty large catapults were divided into three groups, and only the cannons were fired in the city. Eighty small artillery trucks only drove to the Yellow River, and Shi Cheng was responsible for that way, because there were no catapults in the city over there, and they could fire cannons as close as a hundred paces.

The infantry soldiers were divided into two parts, one went out of the village to defend the village, and the other was on standby in the wall, and the horse team was also divided into two parts, but they both stayed in the wall, waiting for the general's order.

After finishing the order, Yang Ye said to Jia Yin again: "Please General A sit in the village and be responsible for the general response." ”

Jia Yin smiled: "Okay, I know what to do, you are busy with your go, Anshan, take Mazha more, and I will come to talk to you later." ”

Qin Jun's catapults and artillery trucks have been improved, and it is very convenient to promote loading and unloading, but the anti-skid work on the ice surface is quite laborious, and it has been busy until the early noon, and the catapults are all in place.

Cao Han never thought that the Qin army would suddenly open a big formation again, and he couldn't rush into battle if he wanted to, because the city was stubbornly defended from the beginning, and the two roads in the northwest were blocked.

He patted the female wall and said with a smile: "It's an old story again, what is the power of the ice cannon, there are only 100 people left at the head of the city, and the others are on standby." ”

"No."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the ice cannons drenched in water roared and smashed towards the city.

This investment has never stopped.

The ice cannon at noon, because the miserable white light of the sun has some effect, after smashing down, it is broken apart, and it becomes ice water, but as the sun goes down in the west, the night wind gradually rises, and the ice cannon that falls down will roll after it hits the ground, and the Qin army will change people for an hour, and there will be no stop, and the city head and the city will be a hundred paces away, and it will be smashed into a pile of icebergs by the Qin army.

Cao Han's brows finally furrowed.
