The fall of Phoenix Mountain not only means that the perfect four-way defense system of the abandoned city has been torn apart, but also means that the heart of the abandoned city has been exposed to the sight of the Qin army.

Although the nearly 10,000 Qin troops who refused to defend the Phoenix Mountain did not have many means to attack the ruined city below the mountain, the long-range machine crossbows shot down from the mountain from time to time made the soldiers and civilians of the ruined city tremble all day long: they might shoot a deadly arrow from the mountain and send themselves to hell at any time and place. Therefore, the Wei army on duty in the eastern city of the ruined city did not have a shield and did not dare to show its face at the head of the city, although this thin shield was not much better than a piece of tissue paper in the face of the super machine crossbow of the Qin army! Maybe it's just a sense of psychological security!

The fall of Phoenix Mountain also gave the 'wolf fang' warriors an excellent opportunity to perform, they did not need to pass through the Wei army's heavily defended defense lines, they could often sneak into the ruined city through the cover of the mountain, poisoning, assassinating, arson, a small group of 'wolf fang' warriors made the ruined city soldiers and civilians rumor, day and night restless.

However, what made the soldiers and civilians of the abandoned city feel a little strange was that the Qin army had not moved since it captured Phoenix Mountain, and it only practiced and trained all day long, besieged and besieged, and did not launch any large-scale offensive at all.

The silence before the Great War is frightening, especially on the passive side, because the unknown danger is the most worrying. Although Zhao Tie knew that Fusu must be preparing for a decisive battle, it was naturally difficult to know how to attack Zhao Tie, so he had to strengthen the defense day and night to strictly prevent the Qin army's sudden and urgent attack.

Two months have passed, autumn has said goodbye to the earth, and winter has officially arrived. A few heavy snows have fallen on the earth, and the whole world is covered in silver between heaven and earth.

However, the harsh winter was nothing for the Qin soldiers scattered around the abandoned city, and the perfect and sufficient supply of food and charcoal, as well as warm and comfortable cotton clothing, made the Qin army's winter very comfortable.

In comparison, the days of the soldiers and civilians in the abandoned city are a bit like years.

The ruined city had been besieged for more than half a year, and although Fusu had released a large number of civilians and wounded soldiers along the way, by now the food had almost been consumed, and the hungry Wei army had to start slaughtering a small number of horses and livestock to satisfy their hunger. The Wei troops stationed in the fields outside the city were even more miserable, without enough food, not enough charcoal, and no warm clothing, and every day made the Wei soldiers live like a year. In this way, in the freezing cold, the Wei army lost more and more non-combat personnel, and its combat power gradually began to decline.

The time is ripe for the Qin army to strike a fatal blow against the ruined Wei army!

*******

The main camp in the north of the city of the Qin army, the charcoal fire in the tent is blazing, and the fire candles are like torches, which makes the room warm like spring and the light is abnormal.

Fusu sat in the center, and the rest of the generals stood on both sides, obviously this was a high-level military meeting.

Fusu looked at the generals and smiled: "In two months, it's the first time that so many generals have been gathered!" What was the morale of the army during this time? ”

A lieutenant got up and said with a smile: "The morale of the brothers is very high, since the conquest of Phoenix Mountain, the brothers have suffocated the good food and drink in the camp, and they all want to go into battle as soon as possible to kill the enemy and destroy the Wei State as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Ben smiled when he heard this: "Exactly, not to mention anything else, it is very relieving to see that Wei Jun is shivering and shrinking from the cold when he lacks clothes and eats in the wild." The brothers were so suffocated that they practiced wrestling, wrestling, and throwing stone plates all day long, and they all had the strength to repay the blood debt of the day before yesterday with Wei Jun! ”

Fu Su smiled and said, "The military heart is available!" It seems that the time is ripe for the city to be broken. General Wang, Nanyang's armor has arrived on time, and it will be ready to equip the cavalry of Benjun and General Li's headquarters, and it only takes a few days to get familiar with it and use it in battle! However, before a full-scale siege can take place, there is one thing that must be resolved! ”

Li Xin asked, "What did the king say?" Fusu smiled and said: "There are a large number of pits, antlers, tripping horses, hexagonal nails and other obstacles in front of the Wei army's trenches, these things are still very lethal to our army's ironclad cavalry and follow-up soldiers and horses, so in order to reduce casualties, we must find a way to overcome this difficulty!" ”

Wang Ben thought for a while when he heard this: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this? Fusu was stunned and said with a smile: "What is General Wang's plan!" ”

Wang Ben said with a murderous expression: "There are hundreds of Wei prisoners in the current army, and when they rush into battle in the coming day, they can make the Wei prisoners open the way in front." If the Wei army could not bear to attack, our army could take advantage of the situation to capture the Wei army's defensive line. If the Wei army attacked regardless of the feelings of the brothers, the morale of the party would inevitably be greatly damaged, and the Wei prisoners could also be allowed to explore the obstacles in front of the trench for our army, so as to facilitate our army's attack. What do the generals think? ”

When the generals in the tent heard this, their spirits were lifted and they all called it a good way.

Fusu couldn't help but feel a faint chill in his back, although this idea was good, but it was too brutal. In doing so, regardless of whether or not the Wei army attacked their own compatriots, the chances of the Wei captives surviving the pathfinder and the ensuing melee were very small. This is nothing short of a slaughter of prisoners in disguise.

Fusu shook his head solemnly and said, "No, this will hurt the peace of the heavens." It doesn't matter if this is done in other armies, but as long as this is there, his subordinates are not allowed to do such things! ”

Wang Ben smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The monarch is really benevolent and righteous, he has not been in the army for many years, I am afraid that except for Li Mu, only the monarch is the only one who talks about benevolence and righteousness." However, if this method is not followed, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for our army to overcome the outer defense line of the ruined city with few casualties! ”

Fusu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, you can't use people, can't you replace it with livestock?" Li Xin was stunned when he heard this: "What does the king mean ......?" ”

Fusu said with a smile: "In the past, Tiandan used the fire ox array to break the swallow, and we also used the herd to explore the way ahead, and the power of the angry herd to charge is not much less than that of the cavalry!" When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed and declared good.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Jun Shang Rende, if those Wei prisoners know, they will definitely be grateful!" Fusu shook his head and said, "I'm just asking for peace in my heart, where do I think so much!" ”

Turning his head to Wang Ben, he said: "General Wang, there should be a lot of ploughing cattle in the nearby cities trapped by our army!" Send a thousand oxen for ploughing, and gather them all for use within seven days. And in the past seven days, our cavalry should also be able to familiarize themselves with the new iron armor! "Wow!" Wang Ben answered.

Suddenly, Fusu thought about it: "General Wang, remember, when collecting ploughing cattle, you must remember to pay the people and do not rob them!" ”

The generals looked at each other when they heard this: they had never heard that the Qin army had to pay for collecting things in the occupied areas.

Wang Ben smiled bitterly: "I am really convinced that the benevolence of the king is not convinced!" ”

Fusu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, 'The people are bitter, and if they don't take away their wealth, they will be good'." As long as the ruined city is broken, the girder is in front of you, and when the girder is broken, there are countless powerful people in the city, and the property is like a mountain, and the princes are still afraid that there is no chance to make a fortune! ”

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and when they heard Fusu say this, they obviously intended to make the generals make a windfall. The generals were happy in their hearts: Anyway, it costs money to collect cultivated cattle, and it doesn't cost your own money, so why bother with you! Fortunately, I can make a lot of money when I break the girder soon, and I haven't worked hard in the past few months! It's also refreshing to do things with you!

******

The New Year is approaching, and the Qin army outside the city is busy preparing for war and can't care about the New Year, but the Wei army in the abandoned city is overstretched and can't celebrate the New Year.

On this morning, the sun had just risen over the horizon, and the cold wind was raging on the land. Suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky, and in a short time a little snow fell, mixed with some small hailstones, and smashed on the ground.

The Wei soldiers in the trenches outside the abandoned city couldn't help but secretly complain: as soon as it rained and snowed, the soldiers stationed outside the city were unlucky, cold and wet, and they lived like a year!

The snow and hail were getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind was getting colder, and the thinly clothed Wei soldiers shivered in the bitter cold, and they had to immediately build a bonfire in the trench to keep warm in order to keep warm.

Due to the siege of the city, Phoenix Mountain was captured by the Qin army, and the Wei army who abandoned the city had already burned all the accumulated salaries in the city in order to keep out the cold, and now even many of the furniture, tables, door panels and other things in the vacant houses have been removed for the soldiers to keep out the cold. It's just that this is obviously a drop in the bucket, and seeing that the wood is about to run out again, the Wei army can't help but be a little worried about how to survive the days ahead!

At this moment, suddenly the "rumbling" war drums sounded on all sides of the abandoned city, and the Wei army was stunned for a moment, thinking that they had heard it wrong, after all, the Qin army had not attacked for two months. But as the sound of war drums became clearer and clearer, the Wei soldiers glanced at each other, knowing that this was not an illusion, and hurriedly jumped up and let out a warning drum and trumpet.

The position suddenly became lively, and the soldiers of the Wei army rushed in all directions, quickly entering the positions in various places to prepare for battle.

Under such difficult conditions, the Wei army still did not lose the will to fight and the best of the best, which shows that this is indeed a well-trained force. No wonder their predecessors had bullied the Qin army for decades by pressing the head of the Qin army before the Shang Disaster Reform, and Wei Wushu did have something extraordinary: perseverance, toughness, and courage in hand-to-hand combat!

One bowstring after another was pulled up, and the trebuchets also groaned and opened the stance, and the Wei army was in full swing!

On the position of the Qin army, in addition to the Qin army in the east of the abandoned city mobilized 10,000 troops to feint the abandoned city and the other three parties to contain the troops of the abandoned city headquarters, the Qin army in the north, west and south of the abandoned city each mobilized more than 20,000 troops for the upcoming offensive operations.

It can be said that with the current total strength of the Qin army of slightly more than 100,000, this attack on Fusu is to give up the old capital and strive to break the enemy in one battle!

At the forefront of the Qin army's army formation in the north, west, and south of the abandoned city, a thousand sturdy ploughing cattle were already waiting in front of the battle.

These cultivators are tied to their horns with sharp knives and short blades, and their tails are soaked in flammable oil, ready to charge for the Qin army!

Fusu looked at the sky, this sleet and hail fell quite heavily, and it was not appropriate to wait any longer, so he said to Wang Ben beside him: "General Wang, although the weather is not good, our army is more difficult when attacking, but the Wei army is harder than us, I don't think there is any need to wait, attack!" "Wow!" Wang Ben nodded.

A thousand Qin soldiers raised their torches and lit the oxtails. "Boom" A string of flames skewed, and the oxtail turned into a flaming fireball.

"Moo!" The originally docile ploughing ox suddenly jumped and screamed under the invasion of severe pain, and countless snow flew in front of the Qin army's position.

The sound of war drums and earth-shattering shouts of "knock ......" rang out, and the frightened fire bulls spread their hooves and ran in the direction of the ruined city.

The ox is heavier than the horse, and the posture of this thousand fire oxen rushing up is so great that the ground is trembling violently, and the huge power can't help but even the Qin army feels a little shocked!

At this time, when the Wei army was waiting for the battle, they suddenly felt that the ground shook violently, and their expressions couldn't help but change: It's coming, it's cavalry! The palms of the Wei soldiers couldn't help but sweat a little!

Suddenly, in the snowflakes splashing in front of the battle, a group of roaring and galloping cows appeared in front of the Wei army.

The Wei soldiers were a little stunned: Cow!? Really fake!? Not cavalry!?

The Wei soldiers shook their heads, opened their eyes and looked again: That's right, it's a cow! Just as they were about to laugh at the absurdity of Qin Jun's move, the herd was already approaching, and the blazing fireball on the ox's tail and the glittering sharp blades on the horns made the Wei army's hearts suddenly burst into a chill.

It has only been decades since Tiandan Huoniu Formation broke Yan, and the Wei people still remember it vividly, and when they saw this, they couldn't help but roar: "Quick, release the arrow!" Hair stones! Hair stones! ”

The Wei army woke up like a dream, countless arrows swarmed in volleys, and the trebuchet also started in an instant, shooting a large amount of stone rain. The galloping herd was suddenly attacked by a powerful attack, and suddenly there was a roar, and countless people fell to the ground, smashing a large canopy of snow on the ground!

The rest of the herd continued to rush forward, stepping on the splashing snow water, and in an instant they burst into front of the trench in a flurry of arrows and rocks.

The "boom" pit opened, like a monstrous beast devouring a fire cow; There were also many cattle injured by hexagonal nails, broken hooves, and fell to the ground with a miserable hiss, turning into a raging fireball!

The remaining herd broke through the Wei defense line and continued to rush forward, unstoppable.

Some of them jumped over the trench of the Wei army, crashed into the Wugang car formation and catapult formation behind the trench, chased the Wei army like a duck and fled in all directions, trampling to death, overturning countless Wei troops, and even many trebuchets were knocked to the ground by the furious herd.

There are also some cattle into the narrow trench, rampage in the trench, invincible, the Wei army was caught off guard, the turn is inconvenient, until the horns of the cattle are flying, how can they care about continuing to defend the front of the formation.

After a while, the Wei army finally came to their senses, gathered together, and began to slaughter the furious herd. In the end, the Wei army was more than Jiali, and there were Wu Gang chariots to help, and after a while, the raging cattle were almost cleaned up.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook again, the snow and mist in the distance rose sharply, and a huge black rose from the horizon, rolling wildly with a fierce murderous aura and an indestructible momentum.

"Cavalry, cavalry of the Qin army!" "Prepare for battle, return to your original position!" The officers of the Wei army hissed and roared!

However, how could the formation that had been disturbed by the fire herd be restored for a while, and the Wei army had just hurriedly entered the position, and the Qin army's iron cavalry had galloped to two or three hundred paces close.

The trebuchet was no longer of much use, and could only attack the tail of the Qin army's iron cavalry to play a little partition role, and the main task of blocking the enemy fell on the Wei army's crossbowmen.

"Whoosh...... Wei army's arrows rained down for a while, almost turning the already somewhat gloomy sky into black, and densely submerging the Qin army's iron cavalry.

"Ding Ding Ding ......" rain-like arrows slammed into the Qin army's chain of fine scale armor, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.

Then something happened that surprised the Wei army and almost broke out of their eyes: the arrows hit the armor of the Qin cavalry and fell one after another, except for the occasional blind cat that hit the eyes of the Qin cavalry and war horses like dead rats, almost no casualties were caused to the Qin army!

The Wei army was a little panicked, only to find that the Qin army that swept in this time was different from the past: the leather armor worn by the Qin army in the past had long disappeared, everyone was wearing a new armor with cold light, and even the war horses that had never had armor to protect themselves were covered with a thick layer of armor, revealing only two eyes and four iron hooves.

However, the Wei army was not in the mood or time to appreciate the new armor of the Qin army, because the Qin army's counterattack came: the Qin soldiers straightened up on their horses, held crossbows in both hands, and after a sharp "whoosh...... a sharp roar, the accurate and sharp cavalry crossbows shot arrows in the sky and flew towards the Wei army.

"Pounce and pounce on the ......" When the Wei army was on the formation, a stream of blood mist rose in response, and countless Wei troops were defeated.

The accuracy of Qin's arrows made the Wei army shudder. Almost instantly, the Qin army's precise crossbow arrows forcibly suppressed the momentum of the Wei army's counterattack.

Suddenly, the Qin army rushed to a hundred paces, and a drum and trumpet sounded, and the Qin cavalry quickly hung up the cavalry crossbow and took off the halberd on the victory hook. Under the glow of snow, the sharp halberd shimmered with cyan light and the cold of death!

The halberd pulled out the follow-up arrows of the Wei army, and the speed of the war horse did not change, avoiding the pitfalls and obstacles detected by the fire herd, and galloped to the front of the Wei army's trench in a pause.

The sharp halberd flashed in the snowflakes like a slanting moon, and the heads flew up into the sky, the screaming scream, the blood full of sprays, made the Qin army's blood boiling, murderous!

The Wei army in the trench was slaughtered by the Qin army in a leap of time almost in a moment, and then the Qin cavalry rode their horses and galloped towards the catapults and Wugang carts behind the trench. As for the small number of Wei troops left in the trenches, the large number of Qin army's old-style cavalry and foot soldiers that followed after the Qin cavalry devoured them in an instant!

The Wei army's counterattack began, and one after another Wugang cars rolled in a line, tens of thousands of short blades flashing with a silvery white cold light in the snow.

Seeing this, the Qin army roared, and the galloping ironclad cavalry immediately scattered, avoiding the frontal charge of the Wugang chariot group with super mobility, and rushed towards it from the side. With crossbow arrows and halberds, the elite Qin army's heavy cavalry killed the Wei army's Wugang riders almost instantly.

Without the driver, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle can only be a pile of puppets, and the catapult that has lost the protection of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicle is even more vulnerable in close combat, and the Qin Army Heavy Cavalry quickly surrounded it, and cut the Catapult into a pile of pieces in three strokes and five divided by two!

The first line of defense of the Wei army was quickly routed, and the main force of the outer line of the Wei army was also destroyed in the first line of defense.

Immediately afterwards, the Qin army made persistent efforts, taking advantage of the fact that the Wei army was in a hurry, and it was too late to quickly overcome the second line of defense before it could organize a strong counterattack force.

Then the third line of defense was also overwhelmed by the ironclad cavalry of the Qin army!

For a time, although the three lines of defense outside the Wei army were sharp and terrifying, the Qin army almost conquered them all in an hour, which was in response to the gorgeous attack that Fusu said beforehand like 'rolling soup and pouring snow'!
