Zhao State Shangdang County, Changzhi County.

This is one of the largest counties in the Beishangdang Basin and even the entire Shangdang County, but considering that Shangdang County itself is the least populated county in Zhao State, this small city is actually only a few miles away.

But it is such a small city, but now it has become a battlefield that affects many big people in the mainland.

"Why hasn't it been captured for a long time? If you can't join the party, how can a widow win? These are Han Wangran's words.

"If you lose long-term rule, the party will die, and you must stick to long-term rule in order to have a chance to fight back!" These words came from Zhao Dan.

It is not for nothing that the kings of both sides are so concerned about this small city.

In the Beishang Dang Basin, there are three counties of Changzhi, the eldest son, and Tunliu, of which Tunliu City is in the northwest, and the eldest son Changzhi is in the southeast and southwest respectively, but it looks like a three-legged stand like a "product" word.

Due to the particularity of Shangdang County, if Korea can take Shangdang County, then the connection between Hedong County and the Central Plains of Zhao State will be severed.

In this way, not only could it give Korea's current ally Qin a great opportunity to conquer Hedong County, but the Koreans were also able to use Shangdang County as an exit to the east, unknowingly bypassing the Great Wall of Zhao Guonan and appearing under the city of Handan.

Considering the fact that most of the troops in the Zhao State have been sent to support other battlefields, as long as the Koreans can win the victory in the battlefield of the Shangdang army, then as long as the Zhao State does not defeat other countries, it is impossible for the Zhao State to have any troops to come back to Handan.

In this way, the difficulty of Jin Huang's attack on Handan will naturally not be comparable to that of the Qi-Wei coalition army that year.

Because in the defense of Handan that year, Pang Xuan and Ju Xin took 100,000 elites to guard Handan.

Of course, it's too early to say this, and for Zhao and Han, the key point is still on the battle for this small city.

South Korean General Jin Huang stood on a chariot, a big handsome flag fluttering high behind him, no matter where he was on the battlefield, he could see it clearly.

The South Korean general stared at the battlefield in front of him with a serious face, his brows furrowed tightly on his resolute face, and there was no sign of letting go at all.

As we all know, in terms of the advantages of the world's armor, Koreans have always been very proud and think that they are not inferior to any country.

Although it is said that the Korean smelting suffered a huge blow due to the loss of Yiyang decades ago, after the recapture of Yiyang City, the Koreans who obtained steel resources once again have a chance.

After several years, through the secret recipes and techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation by some Korean masters, South Korea's armor smelting level has once again improved by leaps and bounds, and now it is once again standing at the top of the mainland (at least the Koreans themselves think so).

At this moment, in front of Jin Di, thousands of Korean soldiers wearing iron helmets and iron armor were climbing up the ladder, looking like ants hanging densely on the city wall of this Changzhi county.

However, these soldiers had only half climbed when many Zhao soldiers appeared on the city wall.

Many rolling wooden boulders fell from the city, smashing many Korean soldiers to the point that they kept falling from the ladder, and some of the defenders of Zhao State also brought a plate of hot gold juice, and poured it down on the Korean soldiers who were climbing up, so that many Korean soldiers were scalded and screamed one by one.

Even if a few South Korean soldiers were lucky enough to climb the wall, the defenders who had already prepared at the head of the city immediately swarmed up and slashed at the South Korean soldiers who had not yet gained a firm foothold.

Just by virtue of the scene in front of him, any general with a little military acumen could see that it was obviously not so easy to break through such a city.

As time passed, the number of casualties among the South Korean siege soldiers continued to increase, and many Korean generals involuntarily looked at Jin Huang, but they didn't get any words from Jin Huang's mouth at all.

Seeing that the west was already full of red clouds unconsciously, and it was the last hour of the day, Jin Di, who had watched the siege battle for a day, finally couldn't help but let out a long breath, waved his hand in frustration, and said: "Pass the order, suspend the siege today, and Mingjin will withdraw the troops." ”

As soon as Jin Di's voice fell, many South Korean generals around him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, the piercing sound of gold sounded from the rear camp of the South Korean army.

After hearing the sound of Mingjin's retreat, the Korean siege soldiers retreated one after another, and after a while, they retreated to the Korean army's camp like a tide.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Jin Di couldn't help but sigh again.

Not to mention the siege, the speed of the retreat alone is enough to say something.

To be honest, although South Korea has always been the younger brother of Zhao Guo, in the heart of this South Korean military leader, he has never felt that his troops are much weaker than Zhao Guoren.

In Jin Di's view, the reason why Zhao State can be so dominant in the world is only because Zhao State has a monarch who is far more virtuous than Han Wangran, as well as famous generals such as Lian Po Pang Xuan Li Mu.

In Jin Di's mind, there are only a few county soldiers in this Changzhi City at the moment, and only Ji Xin, a general of the defeated army, is in charge, so isn't it just casually?

However, the facts ruthlessly gave Jin Huang a big slap in the face, after nearly a month of siege, Jin Huang's 100,000 army still did not advance an inch under Changzhi City, and there was no hope of breaking the city at all.

And after these days of observation, Jin Huang also discovered a fact that made him a little frightened, that is, these soldiers of Zhao State guarding the city wall, the clothes and armor on their bodies were actually not much worse than those of the Korean soldiers.

You must know that these are just the soldiers of Zhao State! The county soldiers are all dressed so well, so what should the central army of Zhao be like?

Doesn't this mean that Zhao Guo's casting technology is actually almost the same as South Korea, and may even have surpassed South Korea?

What Jin Di didn't know was that with the successive opening of several smelters near Datong in the past few years, coupled with the painstaking efforts of great craftsmen such as Belly Zhen to improve the process and technology, the smelting level of Zhao has already secretly surpassed South Korea and become the crown of ironmaking among all countries.

It is precisely because of this that even Shangdang County, which is not very valued in Zhao, has a full 3,000 sets of armor and equipment in its treasury that are comparable to those of soldiers in the regular Korean army.

What made Jin Huang feel even more worried was that it was only a few thousand county soldiers from Shangdang County and tens of thousands of Shangdang people in the city who were guarding this Changzhi county seat, but it was such a group of guys who looked like nothing more than a rabble in Jin Huang, but they resisted the attack of the main force of the 100,000 Korean army led by Jin Huang for half a month.

If even a mere county soldier could resist Jin Huang's attack, then if the main army of Zhao State appeared here, wouldn't Jin Huang be finished?

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Huang couldn't help but be worried, and he didn't have the heart to eat dinner, so he went back to the big tent to think about countermeasures.

But Jin Huang had just returned to the big tent when a scout appeared in front of him in a hurry.

"General, Northern Emergency!"

Jin Di's heart couldn't help jumping slightly when he heard this, but his face was casual and said, "What the hell, come quickly!" ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "General Hui, the reinforcements of Zhao State have broken through the northern defense line a few days ago, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers have fled back to the camp!" ”

"What?" When Jin Di's eyes widened violently, his face suddenly showed a anger that could not be concealed at all: "How could it be broken through by the Zhao people?" ”

The so-called northern defense line is a defense line set up by Jin Huang dozens of miles north of Changzhi City in order to prevent Zhao's reinforcements from rushing to Changzhi City.

The location of this line of defense was specially studied by Jin Di, and it was definitely an excellent place to defend it.

Jin Huang also sent a full 50,000 Korean soldiers to be stationed here, in order to ensure that Zhao's reinforcements could not go south to aid Changzhicheng.

It is precisely because of this line of defense that Zhao Guo's reinforcements are blocked, so the main South Korean force has been able to unscrupulously attack Changzhi County.

According to Jin Huang's plan, he originally planned to attack Changzhi County first, and then lead the main force of the Korean army to the north with the power of victory to fight the Zhao reinforcements.

However, what Jin Huang never expected was that his side had not yet conquered Changzhi County, but the Zhao reinforcements over there had already taken the lead in breaking through his own defense line.

Considering the distance, at most by dusk tomorrow, nearly 100,000 Zhao reinforcements will appear under Changzhi City.

At that time, Jin Huang would no longer be able to besiege Changzhi County as much as he did these days.

As soon as he thought of this, Jin Huang couldn't sit still any longer, and the whole person strode out to summon the generals to inquire, and sure enough, he learned that many of the remnants of the defeated army from the northern defense line had just fled back.

"Damn it!" Jin Huang's face sank like water, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart began to become more and more intense.

Originally, I thought that this battle should be easily won, but I never expected that it would be so difficult, and in the way it is now, I am afraid that it will continue to be difficult.

If he waited until the reinforcements of Zhao State and the defenders in Changzhi City met, would Jin Huang still have any hope of victory?

After a long time, Jin Huang let out a long breath of turbidity, and said in his heart: "That's it, I don't believe that I led more than 100,000 Korean elites, and even these tens of thousands of Zhao reinforcements can't help it!" ”
