To the east of the city wall of Pingzhou, countless torches were suddenly lit, illuminating the night as if it were day.

"Knock knock!"

By this time, there was no need for Meng Wu to continue the secret march, and it was impossible to attack the city wall without being discovered by the Zhao army.

In this case, Meng Wu simply made a big show and personally beat the drums to help the soldiers, wanting to take advantage of the unprepared Zhao army to attack the city wall in one fell swoop.

"Kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing turned the originally silent night into an extremely noisy one.

Just when Mengwu was beating the drum hard and wanted to establish the first feat, many arrows suddenly shot down from the city wall, which had not moved at all.

Arrows rained down, so that the besieging Qin army, which did not have much preparation, suffered a lot of casualties in an instant.

"Your clumsy plan has long been seen through by the lieutenant of my family, and he wants to paralyze us during the day, and then steal the city at night, which is simply wishful thinking!"

Qi Xuan, who was heavily armed, stood on the city wall and shouted at the Qin army under the city, his voice full of disdain.

At the same time, countless flags suddenly appeared on the city wall, faintly under the blowing of the night wind, and it seemed that there were countless Zhao soldiers standing on the city wall.

Immediately afterward, the rumbling of war drums also came from the city.

"The Zhao army is already prepared, retreat quickly!"

Seeing this, Meng Wu's face was a little gloomy at first, but soon the corners of his mouth outlined a curvature, signaling his subordinates Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

In this way, the Qin army came in full swing, but when they retreated, they did not drag their feet.

Meng Wu walked in front of the Qin army, turned his head to look at the city wall with countless banners and figures, and couldn't help but sigh: "What my father did is really not unfounded, and the person who can be selected by Zhao Jia to garrison Pingzhou is definitely not a general and unscrupulous person." ”

"It's just that Su Mo still fell for the trick after all."

Thinking of Meng Fu's arrangement, Meng Wu was not discouraged at all by failing to attack, but showed excitement in his eyes.

At the same time, Qi Xuan, who was originally standing on the city wall in high spirits, breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that the Qin army really withdrew quickly.

He opened his left hand, only to find that his palm was already full of sweat.

Most of the so-called figures on the city wall are just straw men, and there are only 500 soldiers who can really defend.

If Meng Wu ordered a strong attack on this place, it would not be easy to defend this section of the city wall with these 500 men.

"Keep beating the drums and shouting, don't show your flaws."

Qi Xuan whispered to the people around him to send a message to the rest of the soldiers, and then lit the fire, looking at the countless straw men in armor and the empty flags, his eyes were a little complicated.

He thought that he had learned a lot after experiencing the battlefield experience.

Today, Qi Xuan deeply felt that he still had a long way to go, and there was still a lot to learn.

Flat circumference of the western wall.

The walls here have been expanded and reinforced, and the length, height and width have reached the standard of a fortress, and basically speaking, it is difficult for the besieging party to break into the city from here.

It's just that now, Meng Wu led 20,000 elites of the Qin State and quietly touched the west wall of Pingzhou.

"General, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, why do you abandon the east wall of Zhou and turn to attack the west wall?"

The lieutenant general looked up at the tall and heavy city wall, and was puzzled in his heart, but after all, he still couldn't hold back and asked.

Meng Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, and was quietly looking at this section of the city wall.

After a while, Meng Fu replied: "No matter how tall and heavy the city wall is, it is only a dead thing after all, as long as the defense is lax, with the siege equipment brought by our army, it is not too difficult to climb the city wall." ”

Speaking of this, Meng Fu paused, stroked his gray beard, and showed a look of pride on his face.

"Even you never thought that Ben Shuai would attack the city from here, how could the defenders in the city think of it?"

"I know that the guards in the city are by no means ordinary, and it is not very likely that they want to confuse the guards in the city with the three-day covenant."

"Therefore, I deliberately stayed on the side of the eastern wall of Pingzhou, which is easy to penetrate, so that the defenders of the city mistakenly thought that I would lead the army to launch a night attack from the eastern wall."

"The defenders in the city thought that they could see through Ben Shuai's thoughts, but they would never have thought that the army led by Meng Wu was just a feint."

"If the east wall is not defended by the Zhao army, it means that the defenders in the city are just like this, and Meng Wu can change from a feint attack to the main attack, and enter the city from the east wall."

"If the guards in the city see through Ben Shuai's plan to attack at night, they will definitely gather the vast majority of the soldiers and horses in the city and ambush them in the east of the city wall."

"At this time, the tall and heavy city wall in the western section has become the weakest place in defense."

"In addition, this place is the farthest from the east, even if our army's true intentions are discovered by Su Mo, the other party will not have time to mobilize the defenders of the east wall back."

The generals listened to Meng Fu's explanation, and all of them suddenly realized, and then their faces showed admiration.

Although Meng Fu has been up and down in the sea for decades, he is accustomed to the admiration of others, and he still feels quite useful at this time.

"Build a ladder and attack the city!"

With the issuance of Meng Fu's order, one after another huge ladders were slowly pushed under the city wall.

After the ladder was stabilized, the soldiers of the Qin State began to climb towards it one by one.

Under the city wall, there were also many Qin troops densely gathered, waiting for the soldiers in front to climb up, and then they also began to climb.

Seeing that there were already many soldiers of the Qin State, they slowly climbed to the upper half of the city wall, and there were still no defenders in this section of the city wall, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The generals of the Qin State looked at Meng Fu one after another, and the admiration in their eyes became stronger and stronger.

"The generals are like gods, I can't wait!"

"If you can conquer a fortified city like Pingzhou in one night, the general's prestige will inevitably spread all over the land of Shenqi, which will make Zhao Jia'er frightened."

"It's a great blessing for us to be able to follow the general on the expedition!"

Seeing that the victory was decided, the generals of the Qin State began to compliment Meng Fu one after another, with an extremely relaxed look on their faces.

There were only 5,000 defenders in the city of Pingzhou, and as long as the soldiers of the Qin State were allowed to climb the city wall, Pingzhou would inevitably change hands.

After that, without Pingzhou as a barrier, Meng Fu could command 100,000 elites of the Qin State and sweep the entire land of Shenqi.

Such a great merit was easily obtained by the generals present, and they would not be happy.

Meng Fu continued to stroke his beard, and a smile appeared in his eyes, but he still said with a straight face: "Before you really occupy Pingzhou, anything can happen, so don't be careless!" ”

As soon as Meng Fu's words fell, someone said with a smile: "The general is clever, and the use of soldiers is like a wild ......."

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, before the man finished speaking, on the west wall of Pingzhou, which was originally unusually calm, countless oil and firewood suddenly poured down.

Immediately after, torches fell from the sky, and the soldiers of the Qin State who were climbing on the cloud ladder, as well as the Qin troops who were densely crowded below and waiting to ascend the city, were engulfed in the sea of fire in an instant.

The flames rose into the sky, choking the words of the Qin general in his throat.
