"It's a great honor to be able to fight side by side with Captain Zhao again." The violent kite slapped Zhao Hao's shoulder and laughed.

"It is also a great honor for the last general to join forces with the general again." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly.

"This time we are still the same as last time, a certain person is responsible for defending the city, you are responsible for attacking, although Wenyi is not big, but we also have to tell the people of Qin that we are not easy to mess with."

Zhao Hao nodded, a few days ago, he was arranged by Le Yi to lead two thousand cavalry across the river to Wenyi, and after meeting with the Zhao troops who came to support, he assisted in garrisoning Wenyi. And the garrison general of Wenyi is none other than the violent kite who once had a fateful friendship with him in Yanling.

"Since the general is the commander, please tell me how to act next."

"You saved my life, so let's not play so many tricks between us." Storm Kite stood at the head of the city, pointed to the southwest and said: "The troops that were sent to repair Yebandu in advance have been withdrawn by a certain person, and that place cannot be defended even if it is repaired. ”

"The general doesn't plan to defend Yesakadu?"

"I can't keep it. If the Qin army attacked there, it would be useless if the number of defenders was small, and it might not be able to defend it if there were too many people. What's more, General Le also said that it is not very likely that the Qin army will land from there, but there is such a possibility. ”

Zhao Hao nodded, "Yes, when I came, General Le also said that it was just a possibility, and asked me to remind the general." ”

Storm Kite laughed and continued: "If you don't show some skills, you will really be looked down upon by him." ”

Zhao Hao smiled awkwardly.

"Yebandu can't hold on, once the Qin army is discovered, a certain general will withdraw his troops and defend Wenyi with all his might. As long as the Qin army can't pass through my Wenyi, and then go to the eastern district, he will have some scruples. The tyrannical kite said conclusively.

On the fifth day, Storm Kite and Zhao Hao received news that the Qin army was already less than fifty miles away from Wenyi. The two hurried up to the tower and began to arrange the defense. After about half a day's effort, I saw the loess not far away, fluttering a flag with the black word "Qin" fluttering in the wind. The two looked at each other, thinking that they should come, but they still came.

"Returning to the general, the army of our army occupying Yebandu replied that Yebandu has been in disrepair for many years, and if it is still used, it needs to be repaired separately. However, they found what appeared to be signs of repairs, presumably by the South Korean army. ”

"Didn't you encounter Korean soldiers stationed?" ”

"Nope."

It seems that the other party has concentrated all its forces in Wenyi. He nodded, and sent five hundred men to garrison Yesakadu, so that they could report to themselves urgently when they found out that the troops of the Five Nations Alliance had crossed the river. At the same time, the 30,000 Qin army began to surround Wenyi, looking tense, as if they would annex this small city at any time. And on the city wall, the allied forces of South Korea and Zhao State, who had already heard the news of the city, also hid under the city wall, and some secretly looked at the dense Qin army below through the lookout, as well as the terrifying bow and crossbow troops in front of the Qin army, and couldn't help but shrink their bodies. The veterans prepared their shields and piled up rocks and logs for their disposal. The momentum of both the offensive and defensive sides has reached its peak. The surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the whistling sound of the cold wind, under the suppression of the tense atmosphere, they did not dare to be presumptuous.

Zhu Li Ji looked at the slowly setting sunset, although it was red, but it was so cold, he didn't know that on the city wall of Wenyi, Storm Kite and Zhao Hao were also watching this round of sunset slowly falling. They didn't expect that they couldn't take care of the fatigue of the troops and began to organize the siege of the city. However, they were ready for everything and waited for each other to say those two words.

"Siege!" Yu Li said lightly.

In an instant, the solemn atmosphere was broken, and the bows and crossbows of the Qin army attacked the Wenyi city wall from all directions. It's like the wings of death, sweeping through the city, and taking the lives of one or two people. No one in the Zhao and Han coalition forces dared to raise their heads, under this dense rain of arrows, even if you only showed a little, I am afraid that you will be pierced by feather arrows. Everyone hid behind the city walls, listening to the tinkling sound of feathered arrows shooting on the walls, like a tune, tactful but deadly.

Under the suppression of the rain of arrows, the siege troops of the Qin army began to show their skills, one by one cloud ladders crossed the moat, erected on the city wall, under the cover of their own arrow rain, a group of Qin troops began to climb towards the city of Wenyi, which was not too high. Qin's military merit system and strict military law system ensured the strong combat effectiveness of this black army, allowing them to be fearless of death even under the attack of their own arrows. The Qin army will be credited with the enemy's head, and similarly, if a member of his squad is killed, he will also be punished. It was under such a harsh military law that the Qin army's combat effectiveness was so strong compared to that of the Six Kingdoms.

Seeing that the Qin army was about to climb the city tower, it was impossible to dodge, and the Zhao Han army on the city wall began to counterattack the Qin army, and the stone rolling wood became their main weapon, and some soldiers grabbed Ge, halberds and other weapons to snipe the Qin army on the ladder. Of course, the bow and crossbow soldiers of the Qin army were not idle for these early Zhao troops, and the attack of the rain of arrows was even stronger than before.

"Captain Zhao, do you think that the Qin army began to attack Wenyi non-stop, tentatively? Demonstrations? ”

Zhao Hao pondered for a while, this may be the first time he thinks about the battle situation from the perspective of a general, and he is still a little nervous, lest he say something wrong, but he laughs generously. "Soon after the Qin army landed, it besieged Wenyi before it set up camp, which seemed to be eager for quick success, but it was steady and steady, and it was not panicked. However, the desperate behavior of the opposing generals seems to be quite a bit of a gamble. He nodded, "To test the strength of our army." ”

Storm Kite nodded, obviously not surprised by Zhao Hao's analysis, "Since the other party is testing the strength of our army, I think that if you sit back and wait for death as scheduled, you might as well give him some pressure, and focus on anti-guest?" ”

"Does the general want to send a team of elite soldiers to attack and harass the opponent's siege troops?"

"That's true."

Zhao Hao held his shield and took a closer look at the lineup of the Qin army. The Qin army did not have many chariots, about a hundred chariots at the back of the formation; In front are the infantry of the Qin State, including the crossbow soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers are foot soldiers, which is also the main force of the Qin State; On both sides are cavalry, still the same as they saw when they were in Yanling, the weapons are not unified, and the equipment is uneven. Zhao Hao looked at the troops who were attacking the city again, thought for a while and said to the storm kite: "General, I think it is feasible. lest the soldiers of the opposing side attack us. ”

"It's okay, you move within the bow defense area, and a certain crossbow team will help at any time."

"Yes. A certain general led 6,000 cavalry to harass the siege troops of the Qin army. After Zhao Hao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city wall.

Standing on the chariot, his eyes wandered among the siege troops, looking at the siege situation in all directions, now that the two countries have handed over the troops, all he can do is to deploy in battle, watching the Qin army besieging the city continue to climb the ladder, and keep falling under the city, the screams are endless, he has not wavered at all, Ci is not in charge of the army, not to mention that his purpose is not here.

Just as his eyes were wandering, he suddenly found that the siege city in the north seemed to be under attack, and when he looked closely, he found that the sound of horses' hooves and neighing came and went, and the screams of the Qin army were matched by them. Just as he was puzzled, a group of cavalry appeared in front of him from the north, the other party was wearing a red beard, and the fluttering flag had a big "Zhao" on it. I saw that this cavalry was very brave, and its purpose was very pure, that is, to attack the siege troops of Qin. The infantry of the Qin State was obviously a little surprised by this wave of attacks by the defenders, not to mention that they were in the midst of the siege, and there was no one to organize a defense, so they hurriedly prepared to resist in a panic, but they were overturned by the huge inertia of the cavalry, and they could not organize an effective defense at all. The cavalry of the Zhao State was armed with short swords, charging left and right in the Qin army's formation, disrupting the opponent's siege rhythm.

When he saw the cavalry of the Zhao army, he became more and more sure that this was the cavalry unit that Gongzihua met in Yanling, but Gongzihua said that he was Korean, and now he is from Zhao. The tactics of the cavalry of the Zhao State also made him refreshed, the horsemen's horse movements were very skillful, and the formation was not chaotic at all when attacking, which was completely different from the fighting style of the Qin cavalry. Moreover, each cavalry has a bow and arrow on his back, which means that this cavalry still retains the function of cavalry archery, so is the opponent's cavalry really as Gongzihua said, and can be used on horses?

"Order, Mingjin, withdraw the troops. Crossbowmen set up and prepare to meet the enemy. Target, Zhao State Cavalry. ”

Although the performance of this cavalry of the Zhao State was very impressive, and it had an impact on the attack of the Qin State, there were still many flaws in the eyes of the Zhao State. For example, although the short sword of the cavalry of Zhao is conducive to engagement, if it encounters a long-armed army, the attack range of the short sword is the largest lifeline, and the so-called one inch long and one inch strong is this reason; Second, although the opposing cavalry relied on well-trained training to improve their horse movements, their flexibility was limited, and they might not be able to be the opponent of the Qin army in white-knuckle warfare; Thirdly, this cavalry must not be good at long-distance running, for the simple reason that the horses' hooves are easily injured by long running hooves and powerful impacts, which is also the reason why horses are extremely expensive.

I have to say that Zhu Lijian is worthy of being known as the brain of the Qin State, his eyes are also very vicious, and his ability to read the battlefield is very outstanding, and he can quickly gain insight into the weaknesses of the cavalry of the Zhao army. Next, as long as the weakness of the Zhao cavalry is expanded, it will be enough to deal with this army. It's just that there are thousands of calculations, I'm afraid I can't count it, there is a BUG of Zhao Yong, and the problems he said are actually not a problem anymore, but Zhao Yong doesn't want to make such a big publicity.

The black tide receded, and the storm kite stood on the city tower, and saw that the Qin army's bow and crossbow troops were already in full array, so he ordered Zhao Hao to withdraw his troops and not pursue. The cavalry is not invincible, although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Zhao State has surprised him very much, but in the face of the bow and crossbow, the cavalry also has to hold their heads high. If Zhao Jun suffered too much loss, it would definitely be difficult to explain to Le Yi, not to mention that Storm Kite was not this kind of person.

"This time, what does Qin Jun want to test?" Looking at the sunset that had completely disappeared, and the Qin people who were retreating under the sunset, the violent kite muttered to himself. And Zhao Hao, who was panting, stroked the long mane of his war horse, looked at the retreating Qin army, and also fell into deep thought.

I have a cold, a headache and brain fever, and I feel that the whole person is no longer in the body, and the soul has taken off its skin and is flying all over the world. In addition, as an aside, because of certain colors, I wish all children can grow up healthily. You get the idea.
