It's early autumn in Handan in September, and before the sun comes out, the land beyond the river is covered with a layer of hoarfrost. There was such a hoarfrost in early autumn, and this year the weather is bound to be cold. Xiong Jing, who was standing on the deck of the Chaos, couldn't help but shiver and was a little lucky, he was glad that he came early, if he came more than half a month or even a month late, the Yellow River and Zhangshui might have frozen.

"King, the Qin people are all over the gully and wall, and the Zhao people are afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the encirclement." The location of the Chaos is already in Zhangshui, and there are no other boats in the river area where the water flows into Zhangshui. Zhuang Wudi couldn't help but be worried when he saw the Qin army on the west bank of Zhangshui and the north and south of Fushui. 300,000 Qin troops, as long as they are properly commanded, more than 400,000 Zhao people will not be able to get out.

"When will the Zhao people leave the city?" There was no longer a look of joy on Xiong Jing's face. In addition to the 100,000 Zhao troops in the city, at least more than half of them are women and children, these people don't talk about fighting, thank God for not dragging down the whole army when breaking through.

"When will the Zhao people leave the city?" Xiong Jing's question turned into an order, passed to the flagbearer on the mast, who waved the flag and asked the Zhao army in Handan City.

The Zhao pawn on the ridge of the main bed was excited again, and the drum sounded again, but this time it was not a shout, but a meticulous record of the Chu army's flag, and then translated into the text by the Chu army flying officer brought into the city by the Chu army's flying officer.

When to break out? Where to break through? How do the two armies respond? This is a question that Chu Jun has to figure out in advance.

The whole line of Fushui was blocked by the Qin army, and the boat went retrograde along the Fushui for four miles at most, and after four miles, the river suddenly narrowed, and the river was planted with trees, transferred bridges, and vehicles full of earth and stones, these things were not big or small and filled with more than 30 miles of river. It is possible to clean up, but the width of the water is only one or two hundred paces, and the banks of the water are covered with trebuchets and crossbows, even if they are stretching crossbows, they can endanger the armor soldiers on the ship, and the water cannot be cleaned up before the gunboats arrive.

Now there are gunboats, but if the clean-up takes too long, maybe the river will freeze in October; In addition, the water is already very shallow in this season, and the Qin army can build a dam to intercept the flow of water in the upper reaches of the Fushui River in the west of Handan City, and then there will be a tidal flat left in the river. Zhao Ren could only get safe by walking out on his own and walking to a position about five miles away from the gunboat's gun.

The standard-bearer on the gunboat asked a question, and the answer came out of Handan City after more than half an hour, and the flying officer interpreted the message from the city and said: "The king, Xiang Bo, and Zhao Ren said that they will leave the city today, and our army should be in Zhangshui...... Thirty-five miles above ......"

The telecommunications officer reported a strange number, and the accompanying advisors immediately checked the map. Thirty-five miles above Zhangshui, it is no longer the Feixiangyi where it is now, but Wu'anyi in the upper reaches of Zhangshui. Zhangshui first went south out of Taihang Mountain, and after reaching the north of Yecheng (now Linzhang) just south of Handan, it turned to the northeast at 270 degrees, and finally joined the tributary of the Yellow River near the south of Julu.

Because this section of Zhangshui in Yecheng Julu flows through Handan at 45 degrees, it is not the shortest route for Handan to go out of the city to the east, and the shortest route is for Handan to go out of the city to the southeast, which is the shortest route. The calculated number will be thirty-two miles. The corners of the capital city of Handan and Guocheng are opposite, and the southeast is the place where the Qin army besieged the city, and this triangle has enough space to list a circle formation with a diameter of 1,000 people, and the encirclement line of the Qin army is also far away from three miles, counting the five miles of gunboat fire support, the distance that the Zhao people really have to walk is only twenty-four miles.

"Tell the king and Xiang Bo, the Zhao people ask our army to pull out the following people." The Flyer reads the last message. Lierenyi is on the west bank of Zhangshui and is now under the occupation of the Qin army.

"Please lead the division to pull out the following people." Xiang Chao stood beside Xiong Jing. The Ying Division had only one division, the Xiang Division had three divisions, plus one division in Yangxia County, for a total of four divisions. The people are small towns, the Western Han Dynasty only set up the county of the people, the city is not three miles wide, the city is only two feet high and four feet, such a city is not worth the Yingshi dispatch.

"Great King," Zhuang Wudi had other opinions. "This city should be uprooted by the Yingshi."

"Yes." Lierenyi is in the north of Fushui, and the Zhao people asked the Chu army to pull out the following people's yi, the meaning is self-evident, and Zhuang Wudi suggested that it be pulled down by Yingshi, which is also in accordance with the meaning of the Zhao people. Xiong Jing did not hesitate, but said: "Summons the order to raise the beard and pull out the following people." ”

The flagbearer on the top of the mast is responsible for communicating with Handan, and the flagbearer on the deck transmits orders within the army. Soon after the order was delivered, the war boats of the 1st Yingshi Division turned around at the river and turned to the northwest of the confluence of the Fushui and Zhangshui rivers. Wang Qian, who knew that the Chu army had witch weapons, did not order the Qin army to garrison along the Zhangshui coast, he only left enough grain and grass and soldiers in waterfront cities such as Lieren and Feixiang, and prepared to fight against the city.

The communication between the Chaos mast and the roof of the Handan Wangcheng could not escape the eyes of the Qin army, but they could only stare at this coded flag, and they had no idea what it contained. It was not until the Yingshi Division made a quick turn on Zhangshui and prepared to land on the west bank of Zhangshui that the military report reached the banner.

"Jing people land and want to pull out the people?" Wang Jian on the Rong car had been watching Handan before, but now he turned one hundred and sixty degrees and looked at the people more than thirty miles away. Under the light of the morning sun, one after another the winged war boats rushed to the banks of Zhangshui and Fushui, and the Chu soldiers on the war boats jumped into the half-human-high river and quickly landed on the shore.

"King Jing's pawn." Wang Jian looked at the Chu soldiers, but Wang Ao paid attention to the three-headed phoenix flag fluttering on the winged warboat. Refusing information, only the royal pawns directly led by King Jing can hang the phoenix flag. "King Jing is going to pull out the following people and answer the Zhao people. Zhao people also went north. Wang Ao said with certainty.

Before he could finish speaking, there was a thunderous roar, and a Chaos-class gunboat anchored near Lieren Yi suddenly opened fire. The roar of the thirty-two pound naval guns was low, and the flames and smoke were intertwined in the cannons, and the generals who had never seen the artillery fire were taken aback, and some people exclaimed: "Witch weapons! Witchcraft! Jing Ren Witch Weapon ......"

The name of the witch weapon is widely spread in the Qin army, even if the name of the artillery has been clearly told by the Dachu news, many people still can't change the name of the witch weapon. The cannon continued to roar, and Wang Jian who was holding the land away from the mirror suddenly looked back, and the county lieutenant who shouted the witch weapon saw him glaring angrily, not only stopped his voice, but also covered his mouth.

'Boom, boom, boom......'

The landing place of the 1st Yingshi Division was very close to Lierenyi, and when the Qin army at the head of the city shot the crossbows, the two gunboats immediately approached and opened fire. Gunboats, unlike artillery, fired a salvo of guns after guns in order not to damage the keel and hull. After the twelve guns on one side were fired, the gunners on the ship immediately reloaded and fired again.

Against the Qi army, the red heart was merciful and did not use shotguns, and against the Qin army in Lierenyi, it was shotguns from the first shot.
