Pusaka, also known as Pujin, is the most important ferry port on the east bank of the river, and it is also the only way for Qin and Jin to communicate with each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this place controls the Guanhe, the mountains and rivers will meet, and Qin and Jin will be able to take the initiative no matter which side occupies Pusaka.

Nowadays, Pusaka Castle and the Pusaka Ferry, which is protected on the inner side of the city wall, are under the control of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, but they do not give them much initiative.

Speaking of which, the captains of the Qin State were aggrieved, from January to now, in three months, the Qin and Wei coalition forces attacked the Han clan like a husband bullying a baby, how easy, but they never fought with the main force of the Zhao clan. Zhao Wuxian let people defend Xinjiang, indulged Qin and Wei to attack Han, and lured them to gather in Hedong, but they made a detour from the flank, opening up the situation outside the river and west of the river, and the Qin and Wei coalition forces were suddenly in trouble.

In this way, without fighting a hard battle with the Zhao clan head-on, they were defeated and retreated in a daze, and the Qin people, who did not know the overall situation, were very puzzled, they fought bravely enough, why they lost so aggrieved.

"It's the Zhao family's temple calculations and strategies that make us powerless to fight back......"

There are also smart people among them, so Ling Hu Bo changed the doctor's crown belt, and stood on the city wall of Pusaka in armor, thinking about the various actions of the Zhao family since the start of the war. He finally came to a conclusion that the Zhao clan's strategy this time was too beautiful, the thousand-mile detour of the Daijun cavalry, the borrowing of the thief's foot into Zhou, after the loss of Hexi and Hewai, the main force of Qin and Wei in the eyes of only Hedong was naturally trapped in the cage.

From the beginning to the end of this battle, they didn't have any chance of winning, no, even before the war, the outcome was already doomed, they were defeated before the battle.

"Is it that Zhao Wuxian's military skills have been selected in Dacheng, or does he have a master behind him? It is said that Sun Wuzi, who ran away from Wu, took refuge in the Zhao family......"

On Wei's side, why didn't there be a military master to help? Ling Hubo didn't know that eighty years later, there would be a Wei general named Wu Qi here who would ambitiously open his arms to measure the land on the other side.

He sighed, looked east against the evening wind, and said that the advance troops of the Great Army, which would arrive from Anyi, would emerge there tomorrow, but the time had not yet come.

The results of the battle that took place on the other side of Longmen had already reached Pusaka, the Qin army was annihilated, the Wei army surrendered, and the Zhao army continued to march south, and I am afraid that it will also arrive.

Thinking of the upcoming fierce battle, Ling Hubo was not particularly afraid, the Zhao army had experienced a hard battle, and continued to march, it must have been extremely tired, and it was impossible to immediately enter the siege, not to mention that there were five thousand defenders in Pusaka, and the city was at the confluence of the big river and the water, and it was inconvenient to attack the city from the north.

Besides, he didn't have any preparations, so Ling Hubo stroked the trebuchet placed on the city wall, and he had a little bottom in his heart.

Although the stone thrower in front of him was poorly constructed and very small, and could only reach the level of the original trebuchet used by the Zhao clan in the siege of Chaoge eight years ago, it was already a rare and valuable progress for the defenders of the city......

Wei has been imitating Zhao, but saddle stirrups and other can be learned quickly, trebuchets take some time, fortunately its principle is not complicated, it took a few years, Wei finally made a batch. Unfortunately, it was too late, Weimando was soon assassinated, and the war soon broke out, and these trebuchets did not have time to improve, so they were hurriedly carried to the city.

The city was eight feet high and had a radius of 1,600 paces, and with this thing, and hundreds of crossbows, at the head of the city were piled up with rolling stones and logs prepared in advance, and there were several cauldrons that could boil water at any time, and there were enough soldiers in the city to do these things. It can more or less cause a little trouble for Zhao Jun's moth attachment to attack the city.

As long as Anyi's large army arrived, the Zhao army would not dare to act rashly.

Until the enemy really appeared in front of him, Ling Hubo thought so.

At nightfall, the scouts who looked out came to report that there was a faint dust in the north, so Hu Bo hurriedly went to the north city wall, and with the help of the last ray of light before dark, sure enough, a huge army was killing towards Pusaka, which made his eyes glaze and his hairs stood up.

After a while, Zhao Jun's banner really appeared in Ling Hubo's sight, and there was a steady stream behind him, although it was dusty, it was in a neat order, and it was clear, I am afraid that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people.

They didn't even have the intention of setting up camp, and drove away some of the dejected Qin and Wei captives, who should have been captured on the other side of Longmen, forcing them to cut down transportation trees, demolish houses in Lilu, and light more than a dozen bonfires outside the city, as well as countless flickering moments of fire, illuminating the night sky of Pusaka red.

There are also some Zhao troops who are not wearing armor and are busy nervously, they are installing giant siege equipment - Ling Hubo heard that the captain of the Qin State said that it was these terrible weapons that blasted Shaoliang a few years ago, and frightened Bai Di to surrender to the Zhao clan.

He couldn't believe that Zhao Jun had transported such a bulky thing from two or three hundred miles away to Pusaka City. Others were shouting and shouting, cutting trees and sawing wood miles away, mostly making other siege tools, and there were also people holding tools like rulers in their hands, aiming at the city, perhaps measuring the height.

Look at the stance, rest for the night, and when it gets bright tomorrow morning, they will launch the first round of attacks!

In an instant, Ling Hubo suddenly lost confidence in defending Puban City, and just hoped that Anyi's army would come sooner, or that the Qin army on the other side could come over to support him.

Ling Hubo turned his head to look west.

Under the cover of night, it was also densely covered with firelight, reflected on the babbling river, like a fire tree and silver flowers.

……

The sub-master couldn't sleep at all, and tossed and turned in the tent.

He is the eldest son of Pu, the eldest son of the Qin State, a nobleman of the Qing family, and a famous warrior among the younger generation of the Qin State.

But now his heart is full of uneasiness.

This Qin army stationed on the other side of the river of Pusaka had a total of 15,000 men, which was barely managed by the chief of the Great Commander to requisition all Ding Zhuang from the Weinan area, plus 5,000 Qin soldiers who retreated from beyond the river.

"If this army is also lost, it will take at least a month before the father can requisition a group of people from Yongdu again, and then I am afraid that the east of Jingshui will no longer belong to the Qin State." When Zishi led the army to the battle, his father's instructions to him were especially close to his ears, which made him realize that he had a heavy responsibility, trembling, as if he was on the edge of the abyss, like walking on thin ice.

Therefore, after nightfall, when he learned that the Zhao army in Hedong had arrived, and assembled north of Pusaka, he did not act rashly and let people row over to support, but asked Ling Hubo to calm down a little, and everything went according to the original plan.

According to the evacuation plan formulated by Zipu for them, the enemy army in Hedong was handed over to the 50,000 main forces of Qin, Wei and Zheng who had withdrawn from Anyi to deal with it, and as for the 15,000 Qin army, the reason why they gathered here was to guard against the enemy from behind.

Hexi, Hexi, which the people of Qin have been striving for for a hundred years, really set foot on this land, but it brought them strong uneasiness.

The Qin people are also the descendants of Boyi, and they have never been so frightened by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves as they are now.

In the past half a month, the Qin army in Hexi and Weinan has had enough of the infestation of the Zhao cavalry, they come and go like the wind, sometimes hundreds or thousands of people act together, sometimes they are broken into pieces and plundered, the post station was burned, the bridge was burned, the villages of Lilu were reduced to ashes, and Hexi was paralyzed.

The cavalry of the Qin State had been completely lost before, and most of the chariot soldiers had gone to Hedong, so only these foot soldiers were left to fight against them. Only when the enemy attack is repelled on both sides can the main forces retreat smoothly.

But those Zhao cavalry, those who were all covered in armor and could not see their faces, or put down iron spears, or brandished long knives, and the roar of iron hooves filled the whole world when they charged, making the Qin State soldiers frightened.

Even now in the safety of their tents, they would look uneasily to see if there were any huge figures passing by at the fire at the end of the road.

To the east and west of the river, the Wei soldiers of Pubancheng and the Qin army on the other side spent a sleepless night, waiting for the sun to rise. But they know that the dawn can warm their bodies, but it will not bring them safety, because this battle will start at dawn......
