Chapter 231: Assault
Xiong Huai's face changed when he heard this, and he smiled coldly: "Okay, what a Meng Weijun Tianwen, he Lao Tzu offended the first king in the past, and now this kid is disgusting again, and the widow will break Xue Di sooner or later, and all the Tian Ying will be wiped out." โ
After speaking, Xiong Huai's head was big again.
70,000 reinforcements is not a small number, especially since he is still the besieging side, as a result, the military advantage of Chu and Yue is suddenly greatly reduced, and some of this battle has been fought.
There are many small countries in Sishang, led by the Song State, followed by the Weilu and other countries, and the other countries are not worth mentioning.
The four countries that came to help, close to the Qi country, are all vassal states of the Qi country.
Two of them are large and small kingdoms, and in the past, the king of the kingdom loved his young son, so he divided the kingdom into two and became two countries.
50,000 coalition troops, this is already all the strength of the four countries, it seems that they are going all out, and they are determined to support the Qi country.
Tang Mo said coldly: "Four small countries dare to participate in this war, sooner or later they will have to teach them a lesson." โ
Xiong Huai said with a smile: "It's okay, just four small countries, when the widows break Zhongwu City and sweep Xue Di, they must invite the kings of the four countries to Yingdu to sit down." โ
Jucheng.
"King, Doctor Gao Tang reported urgently, a few days ago, Zhao General Zhao Chengshuai 100,000 Zhao soldiers went south, and the soldiers pointed directly at the south of the river of our Qi country."
"In addition, Doctor Pinglu urgently reported that the 150,000 Song and Wei coalition forces had attacked the western part of Qi and had broken four cities, and Doctor Pinglu sent people to ask for help."
"What?" When the king of Qi heard the report of the prince, his face turned blue and he said angrily: "Damn, rob while the fire is hot, rob while the fire is hot, all want to take advantage of the widow." โ
King Qi paced a few steps and said fiercely: "King Chu and King Yue deserve to die." If it weren't for them, how could the widow be so passive. โ
Seeing that the King of Qi was discolored, Tian Pan said: "Great King, the Song and Wei coalition forces don't have to worry for the time being, Shengzi has already led the troops of Acheng and other places to come to the rescue, and it will reach Pinglu in a few days, and the Pinglu crisis will be resolved by then." โ
The King of Qi nodded when he heard this, since the Song State rejected the proposal of the Qi State, the King of Qi knew that the situation was going to suffer, and immediately sent Shengzi to the rescue.
However, now Zhao's actions suddenly made the grim situation faced by Qi State more difficult.
"Panzi, now that the soldiers of the northern land have been restrained by the Yan State, if the Zhao State invades on a large scale, the widow should beware of the Zhao State breaking through the river and entering the hinterland of our Qi State."
Tian Pan thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then saluted: "King, please go to garrison Gaotang!" โ
"This..." King Qi hesitated when he heard this, not because he was worried that Tian Pan would not be able to defend Gao Tang, but because he was worried about Tian Pan himself.
King Qi looked at Tian Pan's white hair and shook his head slowly: "Panzi, my Qi country has not yet reached the point where I need you to go back to the battlefield!" โ
Tian Pan said: "The king, the minister naturally knows that since Doctor Gao Tang did not ask the king for help, he naturally has the ability to block the Zhao army. However, the current countries, except for Chu and Yue, the other countries are just here to pick up the bargain, and they don't really want to attack our Qi country. โ
"This wind cannot last, so the top priority is to get rid of the desire of countries to pick up bargains. As long as the minister arrives in Gaotang, it is enough to show Zhao that our Qi State attaches great importance to Gaotang, show the determination of our Qi State, and make Zhao State give up its plan to attack Qi State. โ
King Qi sighed lightly and said, "Okay, Panzi, the widow will hand over the Tang Dynasty of Qi to you." โ
Tian Pan bowed and said, "Please rest assured, the king." โ
After Tian Pan left, King Qi's voice sounded in the house again:
"Send an order to send an envoy to Zhongshan Kingdom, and ask Zhongshan Kingdom to immediately send troops to contain Yan and Zhao."
"Sending envoys to the Song and Wei countries means that the widow wants to make peace with the Song and Wei."
"Send an order, send an envoy to the Qin State, and ask the Qin State to send troops immediately."
Zhongshan Country.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Qi came with a heavy gift and asked us to send troops to contain Yan and Zhao."
King Zhongshan: "It seems that the king of Qi is really anxious, tell the envoy of Qi, and say that the widow agreed..."
Song.
"King, the envoy is visiting..."
"King, our Song and Wei coalition forces have captured a city again."
King Song: "Reply to the envoy of Qi, just say that this condition is not satisfactory..."
Qin Guo: "ยทยทยท"
Outside the city of Zhonggo.
After more than 20 days of preparation, the Chu army finished making the weapons used in the siege.
At this moment, the Chu army was arraying outside the Qi army camp.
Jing Cui, as the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, commanded the Chu army to attack the camp and fight, and Tang Wu led a partial division to maneuver outside to intercept the Qi army that came to the rescue at any time.
Gongsun Yan followed Xiong Huai's side and led the King of Chu to guard the King of Chu.
After the Chu army finished arraying, Jing Cui bowed his hand to the king of Chu and said: "King, our army is ready, the last general is invited to fight!" โ
Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Go ahead, on the battlefield, the pillar country can decide itself, and you don't have to pay attention to the widows." โ
"Yui."
After Jing Cui walked out of the camp tent of the King of Chu, he immediately gave an order: "Pass my order, beat the drum, and attack the camp." โ
As the drums in the Chu army's formation sounded, the Chu army immediately moved.
The Chu army, which was standing in the forefront, immediately pushed the cart and rushed forward.
The upper part of the cart is a small wooden house, covered with cowhide, set on fire to prevent arrows and stones. Below is a carriage that can hide more than a dozen soldiers and is used to transport them close to the city wall.
Hundreds of chariots were not far away, rushing towards the camp in front and back.
Doctor Ju saw the Chu army coming over, and said unhurriedly: "Transporting troops, arrows are useless, give an order, let the catapult prepare to project, use a boulder, smash it." In addition, the archers stepped forward, ready to shoot. โ
"No."
Halfway through the chariot, Jing Cui muttered: "The camp is low, you don't need to use the ladder car, and you can directly use the light wooden ladder to pass on the soldiers." โ
"Yes, General."
With an order, a group of soldiers in the Chu army formation held a shield in one hand, and several people carried a wooden ladder and rushed forward.
After the wooden ladder set off, a large number of Chu troops began to charge.
"General, the Chu army's chariot is about to enter the range of the catapult."
Doctor Ju nodded and said, "Okay, herald, shoot." โ
With Doctor Ju's order, dozens of boulders of more than 30 catties suddenly flew out of the Qi camp and smashed towards the Chu army with a terrifying sound.
With a loud "boom", most of the stones fell into the air and hit the ground, and a few lucky stones hit the car, just making the car stagnate, pause for a moment, and then continue to rush forward.
Seeing this scene, Doctor Ju was stunned and said, "It's useless! It seems that the stone is still too light, and the order is to change the largest stone weighing fifty catties. โ
"It's the general."
Then, another round of projection, this time, all the stones missed. Most of them fell in front of the Chu army, and a small part did not hit.
It's too heavy...
The corners of Doctor Ju's mouth twitched, and when he saw that the Chu army holding the ladder was about to enter the firing range, he raised his hand and said, "Order the catapult to continue projecting." The Chu soldiers were about to enter the range of the archers, and the archers were ordered to prepare for shooting. In addition, the strong crossbow immediately fired. โ
Another round of stone-throwing, this time the stone-throwing first paid off, smashing a wheeling car.
The soldiers of the Chu army charged against the arrows of the Qi army, and died directly unlucky, and the lucky ones rushed outside the Qi camp with minor injuries or unscathed, and began to build ladders and climb the wall.
When the cart arrived outside the earthen wall of Qiying, the soldiers inside immediately picked up shovels and hoes and began to dig pits, preparing to destroy the city wall.
"General, the Chu army has reached the wall."
Doctor Ju nodded and said, "Order, throw charcoals, burn the carts, prepare stones, and don't let the carts escape back to continue transporting troops." โ
"It's the general."
