Chapter 142: Heavenly Question (1)
A glimmer of light in the early morning shines through the mist and shines on the majestic Huguan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Qing leaned on the table and slowly stood up.
It's been a night, and according to their plan, if Ren Xing wins, he must have come early to report. And so far there is not the slightest news, and the results speak for themselves.
For a day and night, Zhao Qing never closed his eyes, and his eyes were already bloodshot at this time.
Rubbing his skull slightly, which was about to explode in pain, Zhao Qing knew in his heart that once the news of the annihilation of the 25,000 elite troops who had left the customs spread, the impact would not be much less than the lack of food. And if at this time, people are sent to collect grain, once the news of the shortage of grain spreads again, then the Zhao army will collapse without a fight.
Now the plan is not to consider how to guard this pot. Instead, we have to think about how to bring back the remaining 70,000 soldiers from this pot safely.
The main general of the Qin people this time was Wang Qian, who was also quite famous among the six countries. Zhao Qing understood that if he directly abandoned the pass and left, his morale would definitely be greatly damaged.
Once they are stuck by Wang Qian, these 70,000 people can be said to collapse at the touch of a button. But how do you withdraw so that you don't find out?
This question kept swirling in Zhao Qing's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
"Husband, drink the medicine." Mrs. Zhao's gentle voice sounded in Zhao Qing's ears.
"Thank you, madam......" Zhao Qing said with a smile reluctantly.
"General!" An officer who looked like a lieutenant didn't wait for the announcement, and walked straight into the account.
"The Qin army is attacking the city!"
"Smack!" The bowl in Mrs. Zhao's hand that she didn't have time to give to Zhao Qing was directly shattered to the ground.
"Let's go!" Zhao Qing didn't look at his wife again, grabbed the saber on the table, and left the big tent.
This time, Mrs. Zhao did not stop her.
……
Outside Huguan, the Qin army's various siege equipment has been prepared. Looking at the trebuchets that were several feet high, Zhao Jun on the city gate couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Boom! Boom! ”
The war drums of the Qin army sounded, and the strong crossbowmen of the Qin army, who were at the forefront, marched forward slowly with the beat of the drums.
The Zhao army was located on the city walls, condescending, and had a much farther range than the Qin army.
"Bow and arrow ready!" On the city wall, a Zhao army's five hundred lords saw a Qin army's crossbowman squad stepping into a place of arrows, and immediately shouted.
"Wait!" A majestic voice rang out.
However, the archers of the Zhao army, who had been hiding behind the battlements, had already come out, and one by one they had already bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the Qin army.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
A heavy sound of breaking the sky sounded.
Before the Zhao soldiers could react, black shadows suddenly appeared in the sky above them.
"Stone-throwing!" The Lord of the Five Hundred cried out in horror.
"Hidden! Take cover! Hide! ”
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
However, before his voice could be heard, stones fell on the walls. Suddenly, red and white things splashed everywhere.
"How could it be, how could it be! Why is Qin Jun's trebuchet so far away! The Lord of the Five Hundred looked at his miserable subordinates and muttered a little distractedly.
Zhao Qing, who had just climbed the city wall, glanced at it coldly, and walked towards the city tower without looking back.
In the Warring States Period, the Mo family and the public loser were both masters of mechanical arts. The Mo family is good at defending, and the public loser is good at attacking. The offensive armament of the Qin State, which had been improved by the public losers, was far ahead of the six kingdoms of Caidong in terms of power and distance.
Originally, if Zhao Jun could use the Mo family's defense equipment, it would not have suffered such heavy losses. It's a pity that King Zhao has fought against Yan repeatedly in recent years, and he has been at odds with the Mo family, who advocate both non-aggression and love. In this way, naturally there is no need for the Mo family's city defense equipment.
Huge throwing stones continued one after another, like raindrops, bombarding the tall Huguan city wall. The Zhao army guarding the pass could only hide under the battlements and did not dare to take the lead.
At this time, the Qin army's crossbow phalanx had already entered the firing range. Cloud ladders and huge battering rams were also pushed to the forefront by the Qin army.
Finally, the Qin army's slinging offensive came to an end. Before Zhao Jun could catch his breath, the dense rain of arrows came again like locusts.
On the upper floor of Huguan City, Zhao Qing and others, under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, watched coldly the Qin army's push.
The Qin army's battering ram was already less than fifty steps away from the city gate!
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
"Shoot the arrows!" Finally, Zhao Qing let out an angry roar.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Under the dense rain of arrows, Zhao Jun's arrows were shot down like money. Suddenly, the attacking Qin army fell like wheat harvesting.
Wang Jian, the commander of the Qin army, who was watching the battle from a distance, frowned, and his heart couldn't help but become solemn.
The other party is a battle-hardened general, and he can't be careless.
To the east of Huguan, a group of more than 700 black cavalry rushed towards Huguan.
"The end of the day! The time to make a name is today! The head of the cavalry, Yingzheng shouted.
"Kill!"
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! "Huguan City, hundreds of Zhao soldiers hurriedly climbed to the head of the city, and in a panic, the arrows had already lost their accuracy.
"Buzz!" With a buzzing sound, white sword qi burst out along the white heroic sword.
"Boom!" The huge door was closed, and it was directly blasted open!
"Quick Fix!" Rushing into the pass, Yingzheng abandoned his horse and jumped up, and several figures climbed to the top of the city.
Wrapped with black immortal power, in an instant, dozens of Zhao pawns who had not yet reacted separated their heads.
……
"Report!"
Suddenly, an extremely embarrassed Zhao pawn ran to Zhao Qing reluctantly, gasped for breath and said, "Will ...... Checkmate! In the rear, more than 700 cavalry and more than 700 cavalry Qin troops appeared in the rear. The gate has been broken! ”
"What!" Zhao Qing roared angrily, picked up the Zhao pawn, stared at him with a pair of scarlet eyes, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Just seven hundred cavalry, how can you break the city pass!" ”
"General!" Zhao Zu didn't know whether he was frightened or anxious, but he didn't cry: "There is one person in the Qin army, who is strong in martial arts, and he broke through the city pass with a sword!" At that time, most of the robes and zegu were gathered in Xiguan, and there were only a few hundred people in Dongguan. Caught off guard, almost everyone was killed! ”
"Humph!" Zhao Qing shook off the Zhao pawn and walked out of the city tower with hurried steps.
Sure enough, a raging fire had already ignited in the eastern half of Huguan.
"General!" Beside Zhao Qing, a pro-army general looked at Zhao Qing with a bitter face.
"You!" Zhao Qing turned his head and said to the pro-army general: "Take all the cavalry brothers and quickly break through to the east." Those 700 horsemen should not be able to keep you! ”
"General, where are you!" The general exclaimed.
"How can I go! If I leave, I won't be able to defend this city for a moment! Zhao Qing shook his head and said with a resolute expression.
"General!" Tears welled up in the general's eyes.
"Let's go! As many brothers as you can take out! ”
"Yui!"
"Boom, boom!"
In Huguan, the remaining 40,000 cavalry, under the leadership of the general, rushed towards Dongguan without looking back.
At the head of the city, many Zhao troops also heard the sound of horses' hooves and the raging fire that was drifting away. However, there was no trace of timidity in their hearts at this time. For there is still one man at the head of the city. ・
