Yecheng.

As the base camp of the Wei State this time, Yecheng at this moment has completely entered a wartime state, and the streets are full of heavily armed Wei soldiers patrolling.

It is precisely for this reason that the security in Yecheng has been surprisingly good these days.

After all, once something happens, dozens or hundreds of soldiers will appear every minute, and no matter how arrogant the thieves and robbers are, they don't dare to take the lead at this time.

In addition to the thieves and robbers, there are also ordinary people living in Yecheng.

You must know that Yecheng is located on the border of Zhao and Wei, and was originally a transit station between Handan and Daliang.

But in this Yecheng now, there are few people in sight on the street except for the soldiers who appear from time to time, it is just like a ghost town.

For this point, Wei Wuji, who was sitting in Yecheng at the moment, actually didn't care too much.

What made Wei Wuji even more concerned was undoubtedly the ongoing war.

As a world-famous virtuous son, Wei Wuji had long been aware of the threat to Wei after Zhao became stronger.

How can you allow others to snore next to the couch? Don't look at Zhao Dan's current insistence that he wants to kill the Qin State, but Wei Wuji's heart is very sure that once Zhao Guo frees up his hand, the first person to deal with will definitely be the Wei State.

No way, who made the distance between the two cities of Handan and Daliang so close?

Therefore, after learning that the main forces of the Zhao army and the Qin army had begun to fight, Wei Wuji immediately led the Wei army, which had already been assembled, to start the expedition, and the front of the army was directed at Handan, the capital of Zhao.

But on the banks of the Zhangshui River, Wei Wuji ran into trouble.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was standing on the wall north of Yecheng, watching the battle take place miles away.

The battle took place on the surface of the Zhangshui River.

From the angle from which Wei Wuji was standing, it was easy to see the ongoing battle.

On the wide Zhangshui River, countless Wei ships, large and small, headed towards the north bank.

On the north bank across the water, there is not a fortification of the Zhao people, but a tall Great Wall.

The Great Wall of Zhao Guonan.

Since the city of Handan of Zhao State was broken by Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, more than 90 years ago, the whole country of Zhao was humiliated by this, and the Great Wall of Zhao State was built under this background.

But what is interesting is that after the construction of the Southern Great Wall, which cost Zhao a lot of manpower and material resources, with the gradual decline of Wei, there were fewer wars between Zhao and Wei.

With the reversal of the strength and weakness of Zhao Wei since King Zhao Wuling, the Zhao State, which began to occupy the initiative, rarely used this Southern Great Wall.

But at this moment, this southern Great Wall still comes in handy.

Although Zhangshui is wide, no matter how wide the river is, it is not a problem for the Wei army, which has been prepared for a long time.

Many Wei ships docked one after another, and countless Wei soldiers began to jump off their ships and assemble, preparing to attack the Great Wall of Zhao in front of them.

But it was when these Wei soldiers landed on the north bank of Zhangshui that the counterattack of the defenders of Zhao arrived.

Countless boulders roared up from the walls of the Great Wall of the South and smashed heavily into the ranks of Wei soldiers.

These boulders are dozens of pounds and hundreds of pounds, plus the terrifying potential energy brought by falling from the sky, as long as they are gently rubbed to a point, it will be the end of broken bones and tendons, but if they are hit head-on, they will be directly crushed to pieces, and the flesh and blood are blurred.

It was not only the Wei soldiers who landed, but also many Wei ships that were affected by the boulders thrown by these trebuchets when they docked.

The luckier ones were just a little damaged hull, and the less fortunate ones were smashed out of a few big holes, and then the river poured back again, either running aground or sinking to the bottom.

When the Wei soldiers who landed on the shore gathered a little formation and rushed towards the South Great Wall in a chaotic manner, the extremely dense arrows beckoned again, causing heavy casualties to the charging Wei soldiers.

Even if a few lucky people survived these two rounds of blows and finally rushed to the foot of the tall Great Wall, by the time they were about to start the siege with the ladders, countless blows such as rolling stones and sasswoods, golden juice and hot soup made all the attempts of the Wei soldiers to climb the city wall come to naught.

From early morning to noon, although the Wei soldiers fought hard under the orders and commands of their commanders, the result was only to leave hundreds or thousands of corpses on the north bank of Zhangshui, and dozens of large and small ships were damaged to varying degrees, and no results were achieved at all.

Wei Wuji let out a long breath, and suddenly said to the herald beside him: "The order goes down, Mingjin collects the troops." ”

As soon as Wei Wuji gave this order, the generals around him were stunned.

When you fight, you know that it is impossible to tell the winner in a day or two.

Now that the Wei army has started to attack, it has only been three or four days, and it is actually normal for there to be no progress.

But it's just noon, so it seems a little too fast, right?

Zhong Chengcheng, the general of the Wei army standing beside Wei Wuji, couldn't help but say, "Why did the general withdraw his troops so quickly? It's better to let the last general go up and kill it, maybe it will be able to show some flaws in the Zhao people. ”

Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "No need. I have long heard that Pang Xuan is a high-ranking disciple of the Crane Crown, who is calm and wise, and uses soldiers step by step, making it difficult for people to find flaws. Judging from the battle situation in the past few days, Pang Xuan does have his own uniqueness. If this continues, even if it is another ten days and a half months, the situation will not change in any way. ”

In Wei Wuji's opinion, due to the natural obstacle of Zhangshui, the Wei army could not get beyond the Great Wall of Zhao State with large siege equipment such as trebuchets, rushing cars, and arrow towers, and it was obviously difficult to achieve it with Wei infantry and some ladders.

Zhong Cheng was anxious when he heard this, and he didn't care about the difference between respect and inferiority for a while, and said: "But even so, don't you fight?" ”

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhong Cheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's right, don't fight." ”

"Huh?" As soon as Wei Wuji's voice fell, the eyes of many of the generals of the Wei State around him suddenly widened, and one by one they became living fossils.

Wei Wuji laughed and said, "Don't fight here." ”

Zhong Cheng's body shook, and he immediately keenly sensed what Wei Wuji meant: "So what the general means-"

Wei Wuji turned around and walked directly towards the bottom of the city, saying as he walked: "With Pang Xuan here, this defense line of the Southern Great Wall is already impossible for me to break. So the order went down, let the soldiers have a good rest after collecting the troops, and set off tomorrow at the third watch! ”

Zhong Cheng followed Wei Wuji's side closely, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”

Wei Wuji smiled slightly, a strange glint on his face.

"Go to a place where there is no Great Wall of the South!"
