Chapter 329: Fighting in the Central Plains (29)

When the first spring swallow flew into Handan, the breath of spring could not stop filling this tense city, looking at the green outside the city, people with a little common sense know that the person who killed more than 400,000 Zhao troops in Changping Pit has returned, and the shadow of war will inevitably envelop here again.

"Woo woo woo~"

The long sound of bullhorns pierced the calm of the wilderness, and a few guinea pigs that had just emerged looked into the distance curiously, only to see the flags in the sky waving in the wind, as if they were monsters with teeth and claws, and only by devouring flesh and blood could they temporarily calm their irritable emotions!

First, a white-lettered banner was waving in the wind, surrounded by the military flags of various departments, but the army of Later Qin did not appear, and even the cavalry of the Yue clan was missing. However, it doesn't matter, the Qin army has increased to 400,000 people after a winter of adjustment, although it is very difficult to storm Handan, but it is not impossible, but Bai Qi has no intention of attacking, he has a better way.

"Pass my general order, except for the necessary defense of the army not to move, the rest of the people will camp around Handan, build an earthen wall, and tell them to make it stronger, we will live here for several years!"

"Huh?"

The deputy general was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart What is wrong with his own commander, the army has just arrived, and the morale is booming, it stands to reason that there should be a few battles.

Seeing the deputy general's puzzled look and not daring to ask in detail, Bai Qi, who was in a good mood, explained two sentences in passing: "Hehe, don't you understand?" Li Mu on the other side must have understood, and he saw it quite thoroughly. He knows that I am coming, he must have prepared a big meal waiting for me, as long as I dare to attack the city, I will definitely suffer, in this case, why do I still do that thankless thing, anyway, I will not be able to attack for a while, just sleepy! Actually, I really want him to go out of the city and fight! ”

"General, you mean they won't come out?"

"Of course, look at the wall in front of you, if it were you, would you give up such a good defensive fortress to fight the enemy in the field? Alright, hurry up and arrange it, so that the soldiers are ready for a protracted battle! ”

On the high head of Handan City, Li Mu was also looking at the camp of the Qin army, unlike in the past, the Qin army who came this time had no intention of attacking at all, and did not even have the intention of trying it, as soon as they arrived, they began to dig earth and build walls, and set up a long-term siege.

"Bai Qi is worthy of being a famous general of the Qin State, and he grabbed my weakness as soon as he came......"

Li Mu sighed, although there was no expression on his face, but from his tone, everyone still heard a deep helplessness, which made the deputy general who had followed Li Mu for many years feel very surprised, because in the past battles, large and small, there were more difficult and dangerous scenes than this, but I had never heard the general sigh like this!

"General! The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead an army out of battle and break the earthen wall of the Qin army! Extinguished the Qin people's spirit! ”

Adjutant General Miheng said loudly, and the copper pieces on his body were rattling.

"Huh!" Li Mu shook his head and made a downward posture with his hand, signaling Mi Heng to be calm and restless.

"Seeing the tent that blocked our view first, let's make a bold assumption, if there are ambushes inside, what will be the result if we rush out of the city?"

The generals leaned against the city, straightened their necks and looked down, at first glance there was nothing surprising about those tents at one end in winter and one end in the west, but after a closer look, everyone felt a cool breath suddenly emerge from the bottom of their hearts, because they found that no matter where they attacked, the ambush behind the tents could quickly attack, and in the local situation of fighting more and less.

"This ......"

The generals looked at each other, if they really rushed out with a hot head just now, it is estimated that there is not much hope of coming back alive, you know, there are 400,000 troops outside, there are 100,000 people on average, the door hole is only so big, and the number of people and horses rushing away is limited.

"General, that ...... So what now? ”

Li Mu's deputy generals and partial generals are a little dumbfounded now, they originally held back their strength and prepared to have a good battle with the Qin army, but the result was that the Qin army did not want to attack, the Zhao army could not attack, and the two sides had nothing else to do except strengthen their own defense.

Stalemate, or stalemate, since Bai Qi surrounded Handan City, the daily task is to train troops in the empty field under the city, and at the rear of the camp, a steady stream of grain and grass was sent into the camp one by one, and finally it was piled up into a hill one by one. On the top of the mountain, a big banner with the word grain written on it was so naked, as if it was a stunning naked woman showing off her demeanor to Zhao Jun in the city. Not to mention, the Zhao army in the city really had the urge to come out and light a fire at that time, but as soon as this sign was revealed, it was stifled by Li Mu.

"Your life is much more expensive than those grains, besides, even if you burn the grain, what can you do, the Qin State used a winter to transform Shangdang County into a grain and grass center, and transported grain from there, it will only take two days, unless we can surprise the Shangdang, otherwise burn those grains, and the Qin people will still be able to make up for it quickly." And...... With such an obvious loophole, Bai Qi really thinks I'm a fool! ”

Two months later, news came from the border of Zhao and Qi that the Zhao army was defeated by the Qi army and had broken through the defense line. At the same time, the Later Qin army finally sent a force, but none of the famous generals of the Later Qin appeared, and this time it was a young general who commanded the troops, An Pingsheng.

The chaos that swept through the Central Plains once again formed a storm, becoming more and more intense, and Handan, which was in the eye of the storm, fell into a short period of calm, and it would not be long before this calm would be broken, and the countries of the Central Plains would start a fierce fight around Handan, the trigger point!

However, all this is a little far away from Xianyang, the royal capital of Qin, and the people of Xianyang have not been disturbed by the war. In the heavily guarded royal city, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Ying Kuo, was on duty, and wanted to ask a few robes to go out for a few drinks together, but before he had gone far, he saw a little eunuch wearing a miscellaneous costume coming over in a hurry.

"Win General, Win General, please stay!"

Ying Kuo first looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he stopped a little strangely, and asked puzzledly: "This father-in-law called me?" ”

"Yes." The little eunuch wiped his sweat with a smile and handed a piece of Juanpa to Ying Kuo.

"General Win, this is a gift from my master, please keep it properly and take your leave." (To be continued.) )
