Handan.

Zhao Dan sat in the command center, and the expression on his face was extremely serious.

In fact, not only Zhao Dan, but everyone present had very serious expressions on their faces.

A completely unconcealed scorching aura slowly spread throughout the air of the headquarters, making everyone feel like they were on pins and needles.

The tide of the battle is getting more and more unfavorable.

Outside the city, one arrow tower after another was erected, making the pressure on the soldiers of the Zhao army at the head of the city more and more intense.

And the only armored cavalry in Handan City that could be used to deal with the arrow towers of the Wei Qi coalition army, only attacked twice, and there were less than 200 people left.

After that, Zhao Dan forbade the armored cavalry to attack again.

Because Zhao Dan learned from the battle report that in order to block the attack of the armored cavalry, the Wei army actually used the bed crossbow in a frenzy!

It feels like taking a cannon to fight mosquitoes, which is a bit excessive!

All in all, the pressure on Handan's city defense is now greater than one day at a time.

As a Xiangbang, Zhao Sheng did everything dutifully, not only sent all his 3,000 disciples to the city, but also mobilized many other nobles to send doormen to enrich the defense force of the city.

In addition, the method of exchanging titles for grain also succeeded in restoring a large amount of grain to the treasury of Zhao, which was already about to be exhausted, so that there would be no food shortage in Handan City.

As the supreme commander in Handan City, Pang Xuan and his deputy Ju Xin also did everything they could.

These two people personally patrolled the city wall almost as soon as they were free, boosting morale, and even once when more than a dozen Wei soldiers rushed to the city as a vanguard, Pang Xuan, who was old and strong, also launched a counterattack with his own guards to eliminate all these Wei soldiers, and Pang Xuan even personally cut off two Wei Wushu's heads in this battle!

But none of this can hide the fact that even if the Zhao State has the advantage of the city wall, the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army defending the city is still not comparable to the elite troops of the Wei State and the Qi State after all.

After all, Zhao's elite troops are all in the hands of Lian Po, and Lian Po is thousands of miles away.

Not only that, according to Pang Xuan's report, there is a huge gap in the southeastern wall of Handan under the persistent bombardment of trebuchets, and the two sides have been fighting extremely fiercely around this gap for several days, and thousands of lives will be filled in this gap every day.

What was very troublesome was that because sending new recruits up could not stop the Wei army's offensive at all, Pang Xuan had to send a team of elite veterans to defend the gap.

But with the passage of time and the continuous death of the veterans of the Zhao State, the offensive of the Wei army became more and more fierce day by day.

After listening to Pang Xuan's routine report, Zhao Dan pondered for a moment and said, "General Pang Xuan, tell you the truth, how many days can this Handan City be defended?" ”

Pang Xuan looked left and right, and found that in addition to Zhao Dan, there was only his deputy Ju Xin, so he said in a deep voice: "Back to the king, in the opinion of the minister, Handan will be five days at least and ten days at most, and it will definitely fall into the hands of the Wei people!" ”

Zhao Dan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and his face was a little ugly.

In fact, to be honest, the Battle of Handan has been fought for several months now, and the time to hold on is actually relatively long.

According to the plan presented to Zhao Dan by the General Staff in advance, such a long time should be enough for Lian Po and Li Mu to each complete the goals assigned to them by Zhao Dan before the war.

So at this time, Zhao Dan was also a little anxious.

How have Lian Po and Li Mu's task been accomplished? Why is there no good news or support?

It's a pity that there are countless question marks in Zhao Dan's heart, but now no one can give Zhao Dan an answer.

Annoying, annoying.

Pang Xuan saw that Zhao Dan was silent, his face was cloudy, and he thought that Zhao Dan was worried about the problem after the city was broken, so he immediately said in a low voice: "King, if the city is broken, the minister is willing to lead two hundred armored cavalry to open the way for the king, and let the king escape from Handan!" ”

Zhao Dan came back to his senses at this time, couldn't help laughing, patted Pang Xuan's shoulder heavily, and said, "Don't worry, the widow will not escape, and Handan will definitely not fall!" ”

Zhao Dan's words were categorical and full of incomparable confidence.

After leaving the temporary headquarters, Zhao Dan, who was a little upset, also lost interest in going elsewhere and returned directly to his temporary palace.

At this time, Zhao Dan really felt the helplessness of poor information.

If only I had a cell phone or radio or something, I could know what the battle was going on outside.

Whether it's good or bad, it's better than having a black eye now!

While he was pondering, a gust of fragrant wind hit his face, followed by Queen Han Wan's soft voice: "King, could it be that the city defense is in trouble?" ”

Zhao Dan glanced up at the queen in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand and took the beauty in front of him directly into his arms.

Han Wan was stiffened by Zhao Dan's sudden movement, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

Although it is an old husband and wife, this kind of unrestrained action is really rare.

Zhao Dan didn't talk nonsense, and directly picked up Han Wan horizontally and walked towards the bed.

At this moment, Zhao Dan needs to release the pressure.

……

After a long time, the clouds disappeared and the rain dispersed.

An arm as white as Haoyu softly wrapped around Zhao Dan's neck, and the murmur of a beautiful woman was in her ear.

"What's the king upset about?"

Zhao Dan sighed softly and said, "Handan, I'm afraid I can't keep it......"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Dan could feel the body of the beautiful woman in his arms stiffen slightly.

But immediately, the delicate body in his arms hugged Zhao Dan even tighter.

"If the city is broken, then the boy is willing to follow the king ......"

Han Wan's words came to an abrupt end, obviously finding that this kind of words were not suitable for such an occasion.

Zhao Dan laughed, and was not angry, but hugged the beauty in his arms with his backhand: "Don't worry, queen." In this battle, Zhao will win! ”

This is the second time Zhao Dan has said such things today.

Han Wan looked up at Zhao Dan, her eyes full of admiration that she couldn't hide.

For this woman who was born in South Korea and has been accustomed to seeing South Korea being oppressed by the powerful Qin State since she was a child, a man like Zhao Dan who can lead the Zhao State to defeat the strong Qin State repeatedly and bring the Zhao State to the top of the world is an out-and-out hero, the male god in her mind!

So since Zhao Dan said so, then this queen believes from the bottom of her heart-

In this battle, Zhao will win!

In fact, not only Pang Xuan, not only Han Wan, but also many people of Zhao who are still fighting in the upper city of Handan City to defend Handan at this moment also think so.

Jinyang did not fall in the siege of Zhi, Wei, and Han, and today's Handan will not break the city under the siege of Wei and Qi.

This is the confidence that Zhao Dan brought to the people of Zhao with his victories again and again!

The only one who is not so confident, in fact...... It is Zhao Dan himself.

loaded.

It's all loaded.

If Zhao Dan, the king, was afraid of himself first, wouldn't the people below be even more afraid?

So you can't pretend.

The beautiful woman in her arms seemed a little tired, and after a moment she fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Dan didn't feel the slightest drowsiness at all, lying there staring at the roof quietly in a daze.

At this moment, Mixian's extremely excited voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"King, good news from Daliang City, good news !!"
