Fight for land and kill people; Fight for the city, kill the city.

10,000 Han soldiers were consumed under the Great Wall that was no more than ten miles wide in less than two hours. Seeing that the Chinese army did not order to stop the siege, Teng Qi, the leading general, had to grit his teeth and send 20,000 Han soldiers to make another onslaught. The generals of the Han army also found that the defense of the Chu army in the city did not seem to be as tight as imagined, and many Han soldiers calmly climbed to the top of the city, but it may be because the number of people who climbed the city was too small, and the Han soldiers who rushed up were silent.

General Han thought so, but Li Xin and Bai Lin, the commander beside him, saw through the mystery of the Chu army's city defense. Based on Chen Ying's experience, there are only two ways to deal with this kind of defense: one is to annihilate the city, that is, to build a soil mountain of equal height or higher outside the city wall, and the earth mountain advances to the city wall day by day, and the day it is closed is when the city is broken.

The other is ant-attached, but it is different from ant-attached. The effective method is to only attack a certain section or a few sections of the city wall, and then replace the soil with people, relying on the corpses of the soldiers to build a mountain of corpses, the principle is exactly the same as the annihilation.

With the time limit of the king, at present, only by replacing the land with people and using the corpse mountain to annihilate the city can the Great Wall of the Chu army be broken in a short time. Li Xin, who understood this, was about to make a statement to Yang Duanhe, asking him to order the Han army to stop the all-out siege of the city and only attack a certain section, when a shout broke out in the array of the Korean army, and more than 30 temporary vehicles rushed from Xinzheng pushed out of the array and pushed towards the Great Wall.

"General, this is useless!" More than 400,000 troops marched in a hurry, and the siege equipment was extremely heavy, only the 150,000 people who were the first to leave Luoyang and the Korean army carried some engineering equipment, especially the 35 large temporary vehicles were the most eye-catching. Yang Duanhe nodded with satisfaction when he saw Han Jun pushing out the car, but Li Xin knew that these cars were useless.

"Why is it useless?" Yang Duanhe stroked his beard and ignored Li Xinai.

"Chen Ying also used a car when he attacked the city, and then ......," Li Xin solemnly said. Before he finished speaking, he heard a military order from the head of the city, and suddenly countless arrows shot out. After the sound of a string of 'get ......' arrows into the wood, the arrows shot deeply on the outer board of the car, and the Chu army on the head of the city began to rotate the wheel with dead force. The silk rope was tightened, the car shook frequently, the car was screaming on and off the car, seeing that the car was about to fall, Han pawn on the car jumped down with his eyes closed regardless of the height of three or four zhang, and Han pawn on the ground urgently avoided it, for fear of being stoned to death by the car.

'Boom——! Grass clippings shook from the grass, and one after another fell to the ground, and the city was in shambles. Hit by this, Han Zuyun, who climbed the ladder, didn't want to go anymore, and fled desperately. Seeing this scene, the Chu soldiers in the city danced and shouted long live.

"That's true." Yang Duanhe didn't speak until the last one fell to the ground, and then looked at Li Xin and asked, "What is Li's good plan?" ”

"Please order the Korean army to attack only three or five places, and annihilate the city with corpses." Li Xin said.

"Oh." Yang Duanhe's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way, the army is in a hurry, and there are not many siege equipment.

"If 150,000 Han soldiers die, 100,000 will be able to annihilate this city." Li Xin made an accurate estimate, this is experience.

"Good." Yang Duanhe turned around and called the military officials, "Tell General Teng that you can only attack five places." Within today, be sure to pull it out, otherwise, you will not be spared! ”

"General?" The Qin army officers rushed in a high-spirited carriage, and turned back after conveying the military order. A dry Han general's eyes were split, waiting for the lord to Tengqi to listen to his methods.

"General, the Qin army's move is to fill the city with our soldiers, and you can't do it!" The gray-bearded veteran Zhang An said loudly, he has seen a lot of things on the battlefield, and it is not without precedent to annihilate the city with corpses.

"General, I'm waiting to fight with the Qin people!" In addition to the generals, the two generals had already drawn their swords and were about to fight with the Qin people.

"Presumptuous!" Teng Qi looked at it, and used all his strength to fry and drink. "If I wait, what if the king? What about South Korea? Han Minruo? ”

Tengqi asked three questions in a row, including Zhang An, and the generals hung their heads in frustration. If he can rebel against the Qin people, the king will not bow down to the Qin king; If they can resist the Qin people, the 150,000 Korean army will not come to the country;

"Pass on my military order, only attack five places in the siege, there must be no mistake!" Tengqi gave an order immediately after subduing the generals. The interrupted drums sounded again, and the South Korean troops, who had attacked again, no longer spread out along the long wall, but gathered to attack only five places.

"Li Xinbi is in the army." On Ao Mountain, there were the generals of the Chu army, and as soon as they saw the Han army change formations and gather to attack only five places, the army Sima Peng Zong sighed, the situation was worse than expected.

"What's going on?" Chen Shizhi's general Chen Bu sneered contemptuously, and it was Chen Shi who was defending the city. The siege Chen division did not dare to say that it was the first, but the defending Chen division thought that it was stronger than any army in the Chu State. "This city is not the city of Chen Ying, it is the city of Chen Ying, and it can also be guarded until the last grain of corn is transported."

"When it gets dark, the corpses of the enemy will level the walls." Wang Zuzhi's general Yang Yu said with a stiff face, he, like Chen Bu, had been guarding Chen Ying, and was very familiar with the Qin army's siege routines.

"That will also be twice as many as Chen Ying's corpse to fill in this city." Chen Bu Weng said angrily, and reluctantly agreed with Yang Yu's statement. Only Xiang Yan didn't say a word, and took a closer look at the Qin army array a mile and a half away from the city.

After Chen Ying's war, the Great Sima Mansion improved the design of Xiong Jing in Chen Ying's royal city. Because the city of Chen Ying was a temporary improvement, it was just that the originally flat city head was carved into a steep slope that sloped inward, and between the steep slopes was a platform with soldiers armed with bows and arrows, hooks and sickles, and spears. Platforms are a must, and without them you can't stop the enemy from climbing the city.

The biggest difference between the improved design and Chen Ying's is that the steep slope of the city head is no longer spaced, but continuous, so that no enemy pawn who climbs the city head can stand on it. The platform still exists, but the platform is separated from the female wall on the outside by about two zhang, and only a detachable narrow wooden beam is connected in the middle, which is convenient for archers to shoot arrows.

This distance has no effect on the hook and sickle and the crossbow, and the Chu pawn on the platform can still trap the enemy's ladder and stab the enemy pawn who can stand firm at the top of the city with a spear (the head of the city cannot be designed to be as sharp as a blade, leaving a foothold of about a foot for the enemy soldiers behind to see the hope of taking the city).

Attacking the city in the form of annihilation, the former design only needs to level the city wall from the outside to capture the platform, and when all the platforms are occupied, the entire city defense is declared lost. The platform is separated from the female wall, and the gap between the two feet is an insurmountable obstacle. Chen Bu has always felt that such a design of the enemy army must be annihilated twice, once in the outer city, once in the inner city, when the inner city is equal to the height of the platform, the platform will be captured, and the city wall will be lost.

Xiang Yan, who landed in the mirror, did not pay attention to the defensive design of the city, his attention was all on Qin Jun.

"Look, is Qin Jun shorter?" He put down Lu Lijing and asked Peng Zong beside him.

"Indeed, it is shorter." Peng Zong also found a problem, there were many differences in the Qin army a mile and a half away from the city, some of them were extremely strict and quiet, some were frivolous and restless, and their height was indeed shorter.

"The Qin people are exhausted." Xiang Yan put away Lu Lijing. "How much grain is still stored in Aocang?"

"General, there is still half of the grain in Aocang." Su Ke heard the news and stepped up.

"It's been 17 days since the grain was transported, and only half of it has been transported?" Xiang Yan was a little dissatisfied, this was slower than planned. At the same time, this also means that he has to withstand the continuous attack of the Qin army here for seventeen days and nights.

"Admiral Rongyu." Su Ke said: "At the beginning of transporting grain, the boat was only 8,000 tons, and it was only 16,000 tons twice a day, and after the Great Wall was repaired, the boat was increased to 11,000 tons, and then Zhao Guozhou increased to 2,400 tons, and then came to Qi State to ship 6,800 tons, and Wei State to ship 3,700 tons, and now it can transport more than 46,000 tons a day, and the remaining half of the grain can be transported in ten days at most. ”

"Ten days?" Xiang Yan repeated it.

"Yes. Even today, it will be shipped in 10 days. Su Ke stressed that he understands the importance of speed in transporting grain. This is also the reason why it takes seven days to repair the wharf and load the squirrel cage crane before transportation, and still repair the wharf and load the squirrel cage crane after transportation.

At present, there are three wharves on the side of Aocang, each of which is more than six miles long, with more than 60 cranes, and the wharf north of the girder is more than 20 miles long and has more than 200 cranes. At the same time, this is also thanks to the Wei people, Xiang Yan announced that Wei Zhouji helped transport grain for one stone and half a bucket, under the call of the traitors of Wei, the poor people who could not avoid the city of Daliang came to Aocang to help transport grain, which greatly accelerated the speed of grain transportation.

"From today, the grain boat will be changed to a different wharf." Xiang Yan said. "Chu Guozhou went to the Dahe wharf, and Qi Zhao Zhouji went to the grain canal wharf."

The Yellow River wharf is far away, so Qi Zhao Zhouji is arranged to load at the Yellow River wharf; The wharves on both sides of the grain canal are close, so arrange the boat of Chu and the boat of Wei. This is determined by the remuneration for transporting grain, and when he heard that Xiang Yan was going to change the wharf, Su Ke was very puzzled.

"That's what you have to do." Peng Zong was the first to comprehend, and he added: "Remember! Let Qi Zhao Zhouji plant the flag all over the place. ”

"Report!" It was already afternoon, and the exhausted Han army was still being driven to fill the city, and the Qin army scouts hurried from the east side, shouting loudly before they could get close.

Yang Duanhe was displeased when he heard this, and shouted: "What's the alarm?!" ”

"Report to the general, Zhao Qi's reinforcements are coming!" The commander of the scout had just seen the boat on the grain canal, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to tell him.

"Zhao Qi reinforcements?!" Not to mention Yang Duanhe, even Li Xin was shocked. "How geometric is the army of Qi Zhao? Where have you been? ”

"Zhao Qi is a boat master, and he is along the grain canal to Aocang, and there are about 600 boats, all of which are big boats, and I am afraid that there are no less than 50,000 or 60,000 people." Compared with the ignorant King of Qi, Zhao Guochun Pinghou is much more sensible, the grain transport boats he sent are all hung with the Yujing military flag, and Lifu is wearing leather armor, such a dress suddenly startled the Qin army scouts.
