Chapter 612: Emperor Qin besieges Handan

Three days later, Emperor Qin mobilized the people of Ye County and transported all the fire-starting things that could be used in a county to the outside of Handan City.

It was precisely because of Qin Di Huhai's ruthlessness that no one messed around along the way, and Zhao Guo's rule in Ye County was not popular.

The Qin army broke through Ye County, and at the request of Hu Hai, it was naturally innocent of the local people, so that their resistance to the Qin army was not high.

And in the process, Emperor Qin ordered all the igniters to be soaked with fierce fire oil to increase the burning time.

At this moment, the four gates of Handan have been surrounded by the Qin army, and the moat has been filled in before the three gates of the east, west and south, but before the north gate, the river channel has been infinitely widened.

The military industrial capacity of the Qin army was the first of all the armies in the world, and in just two days, not only the military orders of the Qin Emperor were completed.

It will also widen the soil of the river, completely block the east gate with mud, and make the east gate completely abandoned.

Even so, Emperor Qin still ordered the four gates to gather troops and set fire to the east gate, and he wanted to destroy the famous city of Handan in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't such a large-scale layout of our army be ......!" Of course, in general warfare, soldiers are expensive and fast.

For Emperor Qin's practice of putting the cart before the horse, it is not that no one questioned it, but almost all of the doubts were strongly suppressed by Emperor Qin.

But at this moment, even the weakness of Emperor Qin, who has always supported Emperor Qin and never doubted Hu Hai's decision-making, is a little puzzled.

"Suddenly, has the Shanggu army arrived?" Hu Hai didn't answer weakly, but asked something that didn't seem very related.

"Your Majesty, the Shanggu army is rushing to Handan, there are not many troops in Hengshan County, and no one can stop Sima Qingshan!"

"Haha——!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qin couldn't help laughing, his seemingly random stroke back then, who knew that today, it actually had an unexpected effect.

"King Zhao back then, I'm afraid I didn't expect that today, the first person to enter Zhao Land was actually me!"

With a smug sigh in his tone, Hu Hai looked at him weakly and said, "Our army only has 30,000, and all of them are cavalry!" ”

"Handan is the capital of the Zhao State, even if the King of Zhao comes out of the country, he will leave a large army in Handan to guard."

"You also know that in the entire Handan, the Zhao army is no less than 30,000, and it relies on Handan Jiancheng."

"There are no large-scale siege equipment in our army, and it is not a rational act to forcibly attack the city with 30,000 iron cavalry."

"And once the Shanggu army arrives, our army will surpass the Zhao army in terms of numbers, so that it will be foolproof!"

"What's more, although I also want to destroy Zhao, judging from the current situation, forcing Li Zuoche to return to the division is the key!"

......

"What Your Majesty said naturally has a certain amount of truth, but in Handan City today, there is only the court of Zhao State, but the backbone of King Zhao is not there!"

"In such a situation, Li Zuoche also has the possibility of not returning to the division, if so, what should Your Majesty do?"

His eyes were deep, and he looked at Emperor Qin weakly, and said the worries in his heart one by one.

Hearing this, Emperor Qin's expression was stunned, and he looked at the murderous intent in his eyes, and said to him: "If Li Zuoche doesn't return to the division, I will destroy the Zhao State!" ”

"When the time comes, the danger of a lost dog to my Great Qin will drop indefinitely!"

......

Seeing Emperor Qin at this moment, a solemnity flashed across his weak face, and I have to say that Hu Hai is now more and more emperorly.

Sometimes, facing Hu Hai would give him the feeling of facing the First Emperor.

"Order the army to send messengers to Handan City to persuade Guan Gao to surrender, and at the same time let them send a message to Li Zuoche!"

"Yes!"

......

"Prime Minister, three days have passed since the Qin army besieged the city, and Emperor Qin sealed the east gate with mud, and at the same time wiped out the north gate with water!"

"The west gate, the south gate, and the moat have been filled, and the Shanggu Qin army has broken through Hengshan County and is heading towards Handan!"

"Once the Shanggu Qin army arrives in Handan, by that time, the number of Qin troops will reach fifty or sixty thousand."

"Now in Handan City, there are only 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and the king is not there and no one is in charge of the situation, what should I do?"

......

Today's Handan is a dead end, King Zhao is not there, and others can't mobilize the people of Zhao at all.

Even if Lao Guangao wants to have the whole country in the army, it is a little impossible, not to mention that the army is all in Li Zuo's hands.

Emperor Hu Hai of Qin is already a well-known military general in the world, and at this point, even Guan Gao is undeniable.

Now that Li Zuoche is not there, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, there is no opponent of Emperor Qin.

This is also the reason why he knew that Emperor Qin was doing anything outside the city, but Guan Gao did not dare to send troops easily.

In a war, the elite level of a large army and the command attainments of a commander are extremely crucial.

Moreover, this time the Shandong states joined forces to attack Qin, although the pressure on the Great Qin Empire was like a mountain, but the same was true for the Zhao State.

"Hoo ——!"

With a long sigh, Guan Gao was silent for a while, and said, "Ask General Li for help, the Zhao State is already in danger!" ”

"Yui!"

......

Although Guan Gao's command talent is not high, this does not mean that his vision is not high, he knows in his heart that Emperor Qin is only here to open up a second battlefield to reduce the pressure on the main battlefield.

Hu Hai's only purpose was not to destroy Zhao, but to force Zhao's army to withdraw.

However, although the destruction of Zhao was not the only goal of Emperor Qin, when the situation of the war changed.

Emperor Qin may not change his mind, after all, even if he breaks through the Luoyang area, the Qin army can still retreat to Hangu Pass.

When the time comes, with this first pass in the world, it will not be a problem to drag the allied forces of the Shandong countries.

But if the Zhao army would not come to the rescue, there were only 30,000 troops in the Zhao State at this moment, and they were all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Among the Qin army, there were not only 30,000 iron cavalry led by Emperor Qin himself, but also the elite of Shanggu who went south.

When the time comes, the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed!

......

Outside Yangcheng, the Zhao army camp.

In the heavily guarded Chinese military shogunate, Li Zuoche saw the envoy again.

"General, Hengshan County was broken by the Qin army in Shanggu, Emperor Qin besieged Handan, and planned to join the division, and the prime minister asked the general to return to the division!"

"If I return to the division, I'm afraid that no matter how this battle ends, my Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed!"

.......

Hearing this, Li Zuoche did not wrinkle slightly, he looked at the huge map in the shogunate, and said.

"The Qin army destroys Zhao, if the general does not come, it will definitely be a success in the first battle, and at the same time, the coalition army will inevitably break through Sanchuan County!"

"It's just that even if Sanchuan County is breached, but there is Hangu Pass and Wuguan to blockade Guanzhong, and it is impossible to break through it for a while!"

At this moment, Li Zuoche suddenly found that in this battle, it seemed that the Qin army was at a disadvantage everywhere, but in the layout of Wang Ben and Hu Hai, it was infinitely vigorous.

"It's just ...... reinforcements!"
