Chapter 138: The Qin Army's Counterattack

This fire burned for the whole night.

By dawn the next day, the entire Qin army camp had been completely swallowed up and became a ruin that was still braving.

Qin Military Captain Siqi stood in front of this ruin, wanting to cry without tears.

After this trip, Siqi knew that he was finished, completely finished.

In the fire last night, the Qin army lost all the grain and grass supplies, more than half of the military horses, and more than 2,000 casualties.

Such losses far exceeded the total number of casualties killed and wounded in the Qin army's siege in the past few days, and even multiplied several times.

Among the more than 2,000 people, only one or two hundred people were actually killed by Zhao Jun.

Others trampled on each other when they fled in the middle of the fire, or were burned to death by the flames, or were trampled to death by the frightened war horses...

In short, there are many ways to die, but they are all inseparable from the fire that razed the Qin army camp to the ground last night.

By this time, of course, Si Qi had already known that there was no surprise attack by the Zhao army, and there was just a fire that the damn defenders of Tunliu City came out to set at night!

Si Qi is called a regret in his heart, if he could listen to Wang Jian yesterday to guard against a night attack, if he was not too complacent after capturing the eldest son's county seat and did not seriously set up precautionary measures such as rejecting horse stakes, if not...

Too many ifs, just a pity – no ifs.

It was a big defeat, an indisputable big defeat.

For such a defeat, Siqi, as the main general, could not escape the blame.

I'm afraid that death is already a very merciful result for Siqi, and even Siqi's family and even the clansmen will be dragged down by Siqi!

The late autumn morning was cold, but Siqi's heart was even colder.

Siqi stood there dumbfounded, looking like a puppet that had completely lost its life.

A sound of footsteps came from far and near, towards Siqi.

Siqi stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the ruins in front of him, completely bothered.

The person who came was Wang Qian.

Wang Jian looked at Si Qi like this, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Since Zhao Kuo's troops evacuated last night, the fire was completely impossible to extinguish due to the large size, and Siqi had to issue an order for all Qin troops to withdraw from the camp.

It was also from that time that this captain of the Qin army became the walking dead he is now.

Most of the later matters, such as organizing the retreat, arranging the wounded, restoring the system, and so on, were temporarily responsible for Wang Jian and handled them single-handedly.

Although Wang Jian did not get Siqi's order and authorization, and this is somewhat suspected of overstepping his bounds, it must be admitted that if Wang Jian did not come forward, then I am afraid that the chaos of the Qin army will last longer.

Wang Jian coughed and said to Siqi: "Captain, everything is undecided, and I ask the captain to preside over the overall situation quickly." “

Maybe Wang Jian does have the ability to deal with things, but after all, there are many things that Wang Jian can't handle due to his identity, so he still has to come to Siqi.

Siqi's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't react.

Wang Jian waited for a while, and saw that Si Qi was still standing there like a puppet, knowing that this Si Qi was worried about punishment, so he couldn't help but speak: "Captain, in fact, things are still turning around. ”

Si Qi's brows twitched, and he slowly turned his head to look at Wang Qian.

Wang Jian knew that he had already said something, and Si Qi hurriedly said: "The captain has led the army to conquer Changzi County before, and the credit is not small. If he can stay in Ketun again this time, he must be able to offset the merits, so why should the captain be like this? ”

After listening to Wang Qian's words, Si Qi's eyes suddenly became angry.

That's right, you can still make up for it!

Even if Siqi is to be punished, it will be a post-war matter, as long as he takes advantage of this time to make more achievements, maybe he will not only be able to avoid death, but also offset his merits.

Siqi was alive all at once.

Si Qi, who came to life, looked at Wang Jian with blazing eyes, and said, "Wang Qian, in your opinion, what should the captain of this school do?" ”

Siqi is asking Wang Jian for a plan.

Don't look at Siqi standing here all the time pretending to be a statue, but there is no shortage of what should be seen and heard.

In addition, Wang Jian had already seen through Zhao Jun's plan yesterday, so Si Qi felt that it was very necessary for him to listen to Wang Qian's opinions in the next actions.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Captain, don't worry, although the Zhao army is planning to burn our army's barracks, our army still has 7,000 people at the moment, and the Zhao army in the city is only more than 1,000 people, how can they fight against our army?" The captain commanded the re-encampment of the colony, ordered more people to build ladders and rush to the car, and when everything was ready tomorrow, he would stay in the tun with a drum! ”

"Good!" Si Qi nodded heavily and said, "Just follow what you say!" ”

The day passed, and during this day, the Qin army was busy rebuilding the barracks and various siege equipment, and did not immediately launch an attack on Tunliu City.

But the next day, the Qin army, under the command of Captain Siqi, launched the most fierce offensive to date.

In this attack, 7,000 Qin troops poured out and launched an offensive towards Tunliu City from four different directions at the same time.

Countless brave soldiers of the Qin army shouted slogans, sang war songs, held ladders and pushed the cart, the swords in their hands were bright, and the anger in their hearts was raging.

That night's fire made the Qin army hold its breath from Captain Siqi down, and this breath, the world-famous Great Qin Lion is now going to get it back!

On the side of Tunliu City, the fire that could be seen dozens of miles away also greatly boosted the confidence of the soldiers and civilians in Tunliu City.

Under the leadership of the general Zhao Kuo, the whole city of Tunliu is united and swears to fight to the death against Qin!

The battle between the two sides, whose morale is incomparably high, is as fierce and cruel as Mars hitting the earth.

The battle lasted from early morning to dusk, and the Qin army paid a heavy number of casualties, as did the Zhao army.

At the critical moment, Wang Jian, the two or five hundred lords of the Qin State, took the lead in ascending to the head of Tunliu City, beheaded 19 Zhao warriors in a row, and led the Qin soldiers to firmly occupy a position at the head of Tunliu City.

Zhao Kuo, the general of the Zhao army, who had not been fighting in person because of the injury in his left arm, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and personally led the guards around him to launch a counterattack, wanting to defeat Wang Qian's troops to the city.

The two went back and forth above the city, and had a fierce struggle that sacrificed life and death.

But Zhao Kuo was injured after all, and both his physical strength and flexibility of action were inevitably affected.

"Dang!" With a loud bang, the long sword in Zhao Kuo's hand was slashed away by Wang Jian with a sword, and the whole person staggered back, and blood dripped from his palm, and he was actually shocked into the tiger's mouth.

Wang Jian was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to go up to end Zhao Kuo's life, but he was caught off guard by Zhao Kuo's two personal soldiers who pounced on him left and right.

However, where did Wang Jian put these guards in his eyes? In just a few rounds, the two guards fell under Wang Qian's sword one after the other.

Wang Jian held a sharp sword and forced Zhao Kuo, and said as he walked: "Surrender, I can save you from death!" ”

Wang Jian is really a little bit of a pity, because Wang Jian has a vague feeling that the kind of cavalry charge tactics that Zhao Kuo displayed in front of Wang Jian yesterday is likely to become a big boost to the development of the cavalry of the Great Qin Empire in the future!

Zhao Kuo laughed when he heard this, and while slowly retreating, he spat bloodshot on the ground.

"You are not the first Qin barbarian to talk to General Ben like this, so let General Ben tell you again-delusional!"

The two looked at each other, and sparks splashed everywhere.

Wang Jian frowned, and was about to raise his sword to go up, but suddenly stopped.

A rumbling drum sounded like thunder from afar, reaching the walls of Tunliu City.

The sound of the drum is so thick that it gives the illusion that the whole world is shaking because of the sound of the drum.

Wang Jian paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the drum came from.

Beyond the horizon of the West, a large army has emerged at some point.

A bright red flag fluttered violently in the autumn evening breeze, and above this flag, a huge "Zhao" character was extremely conspicuous.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qian's heart shook wildly, and the whole person was shocked.

A few feet away from the city wall, Zhao Kuo could no longer hold back the joy in his heart and laughed loudly.

Zhao's reinforcements are still here after all!
