Qin military camp

After Guan Fei finished speaking, Ji Wu said to Wang Qian: "General Guan is right, this time it may be the informant who has a problem, Liu Xiang and others must have used the informant to calculate us, but now that the city of Jicheng is about to be broken, even how the enemy is arranging it will be useless, our army can concentrate on attacking the city."

"Having said that, the thirty or forty catapults I used to lure Liu Xiang were only burned, and when we stormed the fortification, our army no longer had the advantage of long-range strikes, and our army had to continue to advance into Liaodong, so we can't consume too much here."

As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, a junior colonel came to report: "General Li Xin has won a complete victory, and has now conquered 12 camps and 8 cities, and annihilated more than 50,000 Yan troops."

"Okay, Liaodong will definitely ask for help from Jicheng, and when the Yan army in Jicheng is transferred, it is the right time, and order Zhang Han and Zhang Ju to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to advance into Liaodong, and the old man must not only quickly conquer Liaodong but also put pressure on Liu Xiang and others."

Zhang Han and Zhang Ju were ordered to withdraw from the big tent and send troops to send generals, Guan Fei said to Wang Jian again: "Yesterday, the informant recommended a person to vote, this person's name is Feng Li, who was the guard of the gate of Jicheng, because he was drunk and guarded the city by Liu Xiang's military stick, and he went out of the city to join our army because of his resentment, I saw that he was recommended by the informant and had stick sores on his back, so I am convinced that this person must know the real and false situation in Jicheng, and can contribute to our army."

Wang Jian nodded and called Feng Li in, and after a conversation, Feng Li said: "Although there are not many defenders in Jicheng, it is well guarded, and the strong attack will inevitably suffer a lot of losses, but the soil in the city gate is thick and there are no floor tiles, so I am willing to lead a team of men and horses to dig in."

Hearing Feng Li's suggestion, Wang Jian immediately gave him 500 soldiers, and dug into the city overnight to raid.

When Liu Xiang learned of Feng Li's surrender to the Qin army, he expected that he would be used by the enemy to attack Jicheng, so he personally came to the city tower to inspect whether there was any enemy.

That night, Liu Xiang stood on the enemy tower of the Tumen to observe, and accidentally touched the trigger of the crossbow next to him, due to the angle problem, the crossbow shot an arrow to the ground under the Tumen, and the arrow was inserted into the soil.

Seeing that most of the arrows were submerged in the soil, Liu Xiang said: "I didn't expect that the soil of this Tumen was so thick and there was not a single floor tile laid in Jicheng not long after I came to Jicheng."

Turning his head and seeing that there was no light outside the city in the dead of night, Liu Xiang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Have you moved the battlefield underground, you have learned to specialize in dog caves, it's too naïve."

Liu Xiang immediately ordered the soldiers to carry a huge stone cone and embed it in the soil under the city, just as the Qin soldiers dug the tunnel to this place, and after a miserable scream, Feng Li and other five hundred soldiers were stoned to death in the tunnel.

Wang Jian saw that he had folded for a while, so he didn't plan to do it again, and led all the generals to guard the camp, just waiting for the news of the attack on the soldiers and horses in Liaodong.

The generals in Jicheng City saw that Wang Jian could not set up camp, and discussed preparing to take the initiative to raid his camp, and suddenly, a bloodied Yan general broke into the council hall and said to everyone: "The Qin army of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses has invaded Liaodong, and in just a few days, my Liaodong defenders have lost their troops, and many land and cities have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the situation in Liaodong is very critical.

The Yan general fainted as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiang hurriedly ordered someone to carry him down to rest, Jiang Chen said: "I didn't expect that this Lord Yu has governed Liaodong for so long, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers and horses is still far from that of the Qin army, and Liaodong has been beaten so embarrassed in just a few days."

"It seems that Wang Jian wanted to hold us back here from the beginning, and then wait for the good news of the Qin army attacking Liaodong, in the final analysis, the most important thing is the king of Yan, we must end the battle as soon as possible and join the king of Yan."

After listening to what Jian Xin said, Liu Xiang nodded and said: "Now that we have entered the stage of stalemate with the Qin army, this will only consume our time continuously, I plan to hide the soldiers and horses in various parts of the city, abandon the city pass and start street battles with the Qin army, and wait for the opportunity to highlight the city."

After discussing it for a while, the generals all felt that this plan was feasible, so they discussed it for some time and went down to prepare.

Outside the city - Suzhuang

Han Guang heard the military posture of Yan and Qin that Fang Rong said, and said: "Although I want to dominate the Yan land, but now is definitely not a good time, how to say that I am also a Yan country, I definitely don't want to see the Qin army act recklessly in this land, and I don't want the land to be trampled on by others in the future."

It was because of the continuous aggression of these Qin people that the officials of the Yan State continued to increase taxes and increase exploitation, and it was the use of this money and grain by the King of Yan to increase military expenditures that the life that we people originally wanted was broken.

It is precisely because of the constant aggression of the Qin State that we will become what we are now, and I will be more eager to establish a perfect new order, which is also incompatible with the Qin State's system, and it seems that I must also be the enemy of the Qin State."

Then, Han Guang said to Fang Rong: "You do everything possible to help Liu Xiang resist the enemy, let's talk about our affairs later."

Fang Rong was ordered to withdraw from Zhuangzi.

A moment later

The Qin army launched a fierce attack on Jicheng, and since the traps set up in the previous times had already been used, there was nothing outside the city that could stop the Qin army's advance.

In order to motivate the soldiers to attack regardless of life and death, the Qin generals have listed the items of reward, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the Qin soldiers rushed to the city wall in waves, and many people took off their armor in order to increase the speed of the attack.

Seeing the Qin army's desperate siege of the city, Liu Xiang said to the generals: "It seems that Wang Jian has learned the exact news of Liaodong, and knows that we will inevitably abandon the city but will not move out quickly, so he wants to consume the strength of our army at this time, and send an order to abandon the outer city and prepare for street fighting."

The generals ordered each of them to slowly withdraw from the city tower with the defenders, and Liu Xiang also transferred the Chinese army's tent from the military aircraft department to a civilian house.

As soon as the Yan army withdrew into the city, the city tower was occupied by the Qin army, and the city gates were opened on all sides, and the Qin army continued to enter the city outside the city.

As a result, at the end of the day, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties in the Yan army's heavy attack, and Wang Jian was very angry with so many dead and wounded figures, Luan Bu saw this and said to Wang Qian: "Right now, the informant should be with Liu Xiang Tumen, why don't you let the informant lead the way for us."

"Having said that, Liu Xiang and others have been using informants, causing our army to lose troops many times, so I dare not use the informant's intelligence at this time."

After Wang Jian finished speaking, Guan Fei said: "However, there is only one way at the moment, and our army must not add more casualties."

Seeing that the Qin army was so overwhelmed by the elusive soldiers of the Yan State, Wang Jian decided to appoint an informant again and immediately sent someone to deliver the order to them.
