PS: There is still a chapter before 12 o'clock, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket!

"Bacheng!"

Amidst the shouts of countless Zhao soldiers, the bulky siege vehicle was pushed into the city gate cave at a great speed.

The roof of the car has a thick wooden roof, and a thick beam with a metal head at the front is suspended from the inside by an iron chain, making it the shape of a fierce ram's head. During the siege of the city, the soldiers in the siege vehicle grabbed the battering ram and moved backwards and slammed into the city gate, relying on inertia and kinetic energy to destroy the city gate or the latch structure behind the gate.

"Boom!"

Then, the battering ram slammed into the gate of Handan, making a loud noise and tremor that made the guards in the city tremble.

Accompanying the siege wagon attack were the tall chariots and chariots, which were siege towers with many wheels underneath and up to four stories high, almost as high as the city walls. At the bottom were the soldiers who pushed the carts forward, and the other three layers were loaded with crossbowmen, who used their height to shoot directly into the city from their carts, covering the siege carts and waiting for the armor to climb the walls.

In addition, the Zhao clan's nearly 20,000 troops took turns to go into battle, surrounded the southeast corner of Handan, and the bow and crossbow pointed diagonally at the city wall to suppress the fire in the city, and those arrows taken out of the arsenal of Chaoge City were used here.

"Daya has a saying: Rushing with Er, in order to defeat Chongyong. The siege of the city pays the most attention to the use of equipment, although the catapult has not yet been calibrated, but just with these things in front of you, it is enough to break through the unstable Handan. “

As the commander of the Zhao army, Zhao Wuxian boarded the nest car to command the battle, condescendingly observing the battle process. This kind of car hangs high on the tower like a bird's nest, also known as the building car.

These wooden instruments are all things that have existed in the past. Among them, when the Western Zhou Dynasty captured Chongbohu, it used Linchong, and in the battle of Yanling, it used the nest car to observe the movement of the enemy. As long as there are drawings to be handed over to the public transport team, he can bring the craftsmen to make them. In Zhao Wuxian's eyes. Xiao Gongyi and Mo Ye, who are still in the Taoqiu Iron Workshop, can be regarded as a "scientist" at the level of Qian Xuesen in his own forces. In this era, advanced and mature technology represents the combat effectiveness of the army, according to Zhao Wuxian's thoughts, at least the Zhao army should be built to the level of the Qin army during the Warring States period......

It is now the middle of September, and the Zhao army has besieged Handan for nearly ten days, although the surrounding raw materials are sufficient, but some machinery such as trebuchets have not yet been produced. The reason for the attack was that a civil unrest had just broken out in the city: with Zhao Wuxian's propaganda offensive, some people in Handan gradually believed his promises. planned to open the door at night to dedicate the city, but it was discovered by the guards of the Zhongxing clan, and those "righteous men" in Handan City were suppressed and surrendered unsuccessfully.

Hearing that there was chaos in the city, how could Zhao Wuxian let go of this opportunity, he immediately gathered his whole army, besieged the southeast corner, and prepared to launch a full-scale attack. Now that his heart-attacking technique has worked, the city is no longer the enemy of the Zhao clan. It is the family members who are waiting for the Handan soldiers to "liberate", and as for the guards of the Zhongxing clan, they have become a stumbling block for the Handan people to return to peace from the guards.

At this moment, I saw that the siege car, the approaching car, and the rushing car were all approaching the city gate. Zhao Wuxian waved the order flag again, and asked the ladder troops to follow up.

The focus of besieging a fortified city like Handan is to invest superior forces on a certain part of the city wall. Cause dozens or hundreds of places to break at the same time, such words. The city became a leaky sieve, and the defenders made up for the leakage of the east wall and the west wall. I can't keep it at all.

In Fan, the Republic of Chaoge, the ladder is just the first appearance of a small test, because the number is not enough, did not reveal its horror, Zhao Bing was originally good at field battles, short than siege, but now after several times of cooperation, the use of equipment has become more and more skilled, and the various arms can also cooperate closely.

Thousands of people pushed ladders several feet high to the wall, rushed up the inclined ladder, and the guards of the Bank of China clan guarding Handan fired their bows and crossbows in unison. Zhao Wuxian, who was watching the battle from afar, saw these thousands of soldiers clinging to the ladder like ants, trying to go up, from time to time someone was hit by the enemy's arrows, boiling water, screaming and falling from the air, occasionally brave people rushed to the head of the city, and after stepping on a landing point, the Zhao soldiers behind him rushed in.

For these inevitable casualties, Zhao Wuxian was not particularly distressed, because a large part of those people were Baidi people who surrendered in the battle of the Fan Communists. Driving the subordinate army as the precursor is a tried and tested method from now to the next generation.

"Rong Di is insatiable, these people have the worst military discipline, and it is best to die all!"

Xiang Lu, who was beside Wuxi, saw that the two Di generals Zhai Fengdi and Cheng Cheng were not there, so he muttered in a low voice.

"It's not good to be dead." Wuxian squinted his eyes and said: "After conquering Handan, the raiders of Bairen and Dongyang will rely on their efforts, and there are many Rongdi tribes in that area." ”

When the cunning rabbit is dead, it is not too late for the lackeys to be firmly tied up again......

While speaking, Zhao Wuxian asked people to step up the drums to strengthen their morale. Although the Di people like to repeat, but the battle is still very brave, the analysis into the carp with the Bai Di soldiers to the city after guarding the battlement, the Zhao soldiers under the bottom along the ladder up, Lai Di people's bravery, Zhao soldiers in the city to gain a firm foothold.

At the same time, the Zhao soldiers who were close to the city gate suddenly raised their weapons and stomped their feet and shouted, there were too many people, and the shouts were too miscellaneous to tell that they were shouting, but the sound shook the world and was deafening.

Xiang Lu took a closer look and said happily: "General, the city gate is broken!" ”

……

The city gate was broken, and the city wall was lost, and Handan City became a shelled turtle, leaving only a pile of soft meat to be slaughtered. Mu Xia and Tian Ben led people to fight inward, and there were not many soldiers left here by the Zhongxing clan, and the people of Handan had long lost the mind to resist, so the outer city was quickly controlled by Zhao Bing.

But the remnants of the enemy has not yet been cleared, there are still three small cities with tall walls in the east, west and north of Handan City, in this battle, Zhao Wuxian named the leaders to be captured: Handan Lady Zhongxing Ji, the new head of the family Handan Xin, the doctor Xun Sheng sent by the Bank of China to stay in Handan, and the head of the Handan clan Shebin, they saw that the outer city was lost, so they each took hundreds of people to retreat to the three small cities, and they were still resisting stubbornly.

Zhao Wuxian let the wounded withdraw to the camp outside the city to rest, leaving thousands of people, including Bai Dibing, outside the city, he brought 10,000 people into the city, and was not in a hurry to besiege the three small cities, but first asked Handan to send soldiers to find the elders with high prestige in the city, and let them help pacify the people in the city.

"The sin lies in the Handan family, and it has nothing to do with Li Shu in the city!" He made such a solemn promise that he fulfilled his promise in the letter that he would not retaliate after the destruction of the city, and that his soldiers would not be allowed to harass and plunder.

As a result, the last desire of the Handan people to resist was gone, and they began to paddle a few days ago, and they were disbanded for their negative treatment of the city defenders, and they went back to their homes, obeyed the curfew orders, and closed their doors.

As for the life and death of the head of the Handan family......

After the death of Handan Wu and Handan Ji in a row, they have become numb, in the war, everyone has paid so much for the Handan clan, almost every family has children to go south, if it were not for the kindness of the Zhao family not to kill, almost became a dry bone by the river.

So, in the case of isolation and fighting, it was night, and the small western city that the guests had retreated to was broken, but he himself was nowhere to be found, or he got into a certain tunnel or secret room, Zhao Wuxian asked people to search everywhere, and it was necessary to capture the first evil person who instigated Handan to rebel against Zhao.

On the second day, Xun Sheng fought desperately, he broke through from the small northern city he was guarding, and planned to go out of the north of the city with hundreds of marching soldiers, but he was deliberately let out of Zhao Wuxian, who asked people to close the encirclement and wrap a dumpling, most of the marching soldiers were killed, and Xun Sheng himself was killed on the spot.

In the end, there was only one small town left.

The Handan clan had carried out several internal purges before, sweeping away the pro-Zhao forces at the top, and now the people who followed the new head of the Handan family were either diehard Handan loyalists or sworn enemies of the Zhao clan, so they were the most tenacious and did not fall until the fourth day.

Zhong Xingyin's sister, Handan Wu's wife Zhong Xing Ji hanged herself on the city tower, and the young master of Handan, who Zhao Wuxian only knew his name and did not know his appearance, but like the guests, he searched everywhere and did not find it.

"The evil will be exhausted, how can you let him escape!?" Yang Hu viciously reprimanded the soldiers who did not go to ask for Handan Xin in the first time after breaking the city, and the guests have not been found, and now they have lost the young master of Handan, which casts a shadow on this victory of the Zhao army's relatively light losses.

Fortunately, in the end, there was a false alarm, and half an hour later, under the identification of several Handan officials, the young master of Handan who was mixed in the crowd was captured, and he was immediately escorted to Zhao Wuxian by the excited Tian Ben...... (To be continued.) )
