Chapter 193: The Sanhu Tribe
"King!" At this time, Wei Ran was also in a hurry, after all, there was no need for them to offend Sanhu, although Qin Guo was not afraid of Sanhu, but one more friend was better than one more enemy.
King Qin waved his hand, signaling that Wei Ran didn't need to say much, and then said indifferently: "The matter of the Central Plains, you and other barbarians want to intervene, my Great Qin wants to destroy the Zhao State, why do you need to wait for the barbarians to help!" Come on, these Sanhu barbarians want to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, spy on the land of China, drag them out and beat them with a rod of fifty, and then drive them out of Xianyang! ”
"No!"
Hearing this, the Iron Eagle Technician behind King Qin suddenly agreed without emotion, stepped forward with a cold face, and dragged Tutulu and the other Huns out of the main hall.
Tutulu's face became extremely hideous, and a pair of eyes stared at King Qin like wolf eyes, but although he was extremely angry, he still had a little sense, knowing that this was Xianyang Palace, if he dared to scold, it would definitely be a dead end.
Seeing Tutulu and the others being dragged out of the main hall, Wei Ran was also a little puzzled: "King, now that the Zhao State is disturbed by the Sanhu, we take this opportunity to indeed have a very good hope of annexing the Zhao State, why should the King refuse the Hun King's invitation to cooperate?" ”
King Qin's face returned to the indifference and calmness of Shicai, he was silent for a moment, his lips opened slightly, and said coldly: "Join forces with Sanhu to destroy Zhao, that is to push our Great Qin to the fire pit!" The Hu people are the common enemies of all the countries in our Central Plains, and there will be no problem with the war between our various vassal states, no matter how they fight, but once the Hu people are involved, the meaning is extraordinary.
The Hu people and our Huaxia people are feuding, once the news of joining forces with them comes out, the reputation of our Great Qin will be seriously damaged, and it will be condemned by all the vassal states, and other countries have long been dissatisfied with our Great Qin, and if they find this excuse, they will definitely attack our Great Qin on a large scale. What's more, do you think that the Zhao State is so easy to destroy, they have existed for hundreds of years, and the background is extremely thick, not to mention, even if we can destroy Zhao, Qi Yan and other countries will never sit back and watch the Zhao State be destroyed, and they will definitely send troops to rescue them. ”
As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese and the Hu people, there was a war, and the Central Plains countries have no good impression of the Hu people, Qin is also the Zhou Dynasty nobles, when the first major vassal state today, if he lowers his value and cooperates with the Hu people, he will become the common enemy of the Central Plains countries, although the Qin State is strong, but he does not dare to take this risk, not to mention that the King of Qin looks down on the Hu people from the bottom of his heart.
This is the same as the hatred between the Chinese countries and the island countries in the previous life, which is the hatred between ethnic groups and cannot be resolved at all.
Hearing this, Wei Ran also nodded, King Qin analyzed it very thoroughly, they couldn't be enemies of the princes of the world because of the little favor promised by Sanhu, and they immediately admired the former in their hearts.
King Qin sneered and said, "However, although the widow rejected the Xiongnu, now that the Zhao State is in a state of being attacked on the back, it is true that he can take advantage of this opportunity to collect a little benefit." But it's not now, it's easy to cause misunderstanding among people all over the world, and mistakenly think that the widow is cooperating with Sanhu, so you order Bai Qi to fight hard and wait until next spring, when the ice and snow melt, to launch a war against Zhao State, Jinyang, Shangdang and other places. ”
The King of Qin expected that this war between Sanhu and Zhao would inevitably last for a long time, and when the Zhao army was exhausted from the war with Sanhu next spring, Great Qin would take advantage of this to occupy some of the former's land.
Hearing this, Wei Ran also promised in a low voice, and slowly withdrew from the main hall.
"Hehe, this time the widow wants to see how you Zhao Fan and King Zhao deal with it." After Wei Ran left, King Qin also smiled slightly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He has always regarded Zhao as the biggest opponent, and Zhao and Qin border, if Qin wants to invade other vassal states in the east, he must take Zhao and open the door to the east, so the king of Qin has always regarded Zhao as a thorn in his side.
Because King Qin was established by King Wuling of Zhao, he also knew the eloquence of King Wuling, so when King Wuling was in power, King Qin was always jealous and afraid of the former, and did not dare to use troops against Zhao until King Wuling died, and he dared to show his talents.
Today's King Zhao is King Zhao Huiwen, King Qin doesn't know much about this person, because before Zhao was ruled by Li Dui, the ability of this puppet king has not been known to the world, this time he can quietly kill Li Dui, regain control of Zhao State, although it has a lot to do with his brother Zhao Fan, but it also indirectly proves the ability of King Zhao Huiwen.
King Qin wanted to re-examine King Zhao Huiwen's ability through this Sanhu attack on Zhao.
At the same time, in the border city of Zhao, the city of Yunzhong, the armies of the two sides were still engaged in a never-ending battle of siege and defense of the city.
The last time Zhao Fan's straw man borrowed arrows, it had a serious impact on the morale of the Hu army, which is also the reason for the repeated defeats of the Hu army, Zhao Fan's last time borrowed bows and arrows, but hundreds of thousands, this number seems to be huge, but in fact it is not much.
The defenders of Cloud City alone currently have tens of thousands, and everyone shoots dozens of arrows, so the straw man borrows arrows, which can only solve the urgent need for a while, and if you want to retreat from the enemy, you also need to come up with a foolproof strategy.
On the city wall, the bow and arrow are as dense as flying locusts over the heads of all the soldiers, people at this time, they are extremely vulnerable, many people don't know, they may be flying from afar by the cold arrows, take away the surname.
After several days of fighting, the city in the clouds, has lost thousands of soldiers, the city wall gate is already scarred, especially the bow and arrow, and now it is almost used up, the defenders in the city in order to save bows and arrows, and even on their own dead soldiers, take out the bows and arrows that took their surnames and continue to use.
There are also bows and arrows shot by the Hu people, whether they are damaged or not, and they are picked up and continued to be used, and this kind of bow and arrow is undoubtedly greatly weakened for the hit rate and damage of shooting.
"Lord Zuo Xianwang, it seems that Zhao Fan and Li Feng's two thieves can't hold it, you see the bows and arrows they shot, there are no arrows, it is clear that there are no arrows in the city." On top of an adobe in the distance, Yan Zha and Zhang Wu watched the battle not far away coldly.
At this time, Yan Zha took a bow and arrow shot from Cloud City and smiled at Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu glanced at the wolf tooth arrow in Yan Zha's hand, and it was indeed as the former said, there was not even an arrow on this bow and arrow, and it had no lethality at all. However, his face was not so good-looking, he shook his head, and said, "We have been storming Cloud City for five days, but we have not yet broken through this city, and now we have exceeded the maximum time limit that my father gave us to attack Cloud City. ”
Cheng, the military order issued by King Lin Hu was to break through Cloud City in five days, and now it is the fifth day, and it is obvious that with the current momentum, it is absolutely impossible to break Cloud City today.
"King Zuo Xian doesn't have to worry, I heard that the progress of the Xiongnu and Donghu in Dai County and Yanmen County does not seem to be going well, and now that Yunzhong City is short of arrows, I don't think they can last two days, as long as Yunzhong City can be broken through, Lord Lin Hu will still praise you." Yan Zha said.
Hearing this, Zhang Wu also nodded, it seems that this is the only way, to break through Yunzhong City as soon as possible, even if the task is not completed according to the deadline set by King Lin Hu, but if he can break through Cloud City in these two days, King Lin Hu will not blame himself much.
"Pass the order, be on strict guard at night, Cloud City is short of arrows now, and will definitely find a way to find arrows, so the warriors must pay attention to the situation, and once there is an abnormal battle situation, notify Wo immediately."
In the evening, the two sides were about to stop fighting, and Zhang Wu also instructed Yan Zha.
Now Lin Hu's hope for attacking the city lies in the fact that there are no bows and arrows on the side of Cloud City, so Zhang Wu is also extremely cautious about this matter, and has made up his mind to strictly guard the defenders of Cloud City and not let them get arrows.
It is getting late, the remnant sun is like blood, the lights outside the window and the longing room shadows look full of classical taste, but it is this ancient city that looks extremely beautiful at dusk, but at this moment it is under the baptism of war.
In the hall of the county guard mansion of Cloud City, Li Feng, Zhao Fan, Xu Jia and others gathered inside.
Among all of them, except for Zhao Fan, almost all of them had a somewhat heavy expression, that's right, as Zhang Wu said, Yunzhong City is almost without arrow towers, and without bows and arrows, Yunzhong City will definitely not be able to defend against the strong attack of the Hu people.
Inside the hall, except for the crackling fire, there was silence.
"Ahem, everyone already knows about it, now we are running out of arrows in Cloud City, and the hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows that Fan Er borrowed last time have almost run out, and I called everyone here this time to ask you if there is any way to get bows and arrows." Li Feng was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
Hearing this, everyone was silent, and now Yunzhong City is surrounded by Hu people, and there are no raw materials for making arrows in the city, so it is difficult to get arrows.
Seeing that everyone didn't answer, it was obvious that there was no good way, and immediately, Zhao Fan also suddenly said loudly: "Lord County Guard, how many days can the bow and arrows in the city be supported now?" ”
"Two days." Although Li Feng didn't understand why Zhao Fan asked this question, he still replied.
Zhao Fan nodded, two days was enough, and immediately said: "I have a plan to deal with the Hu people, but it must be implemented after two days, these two days, I don't know if everyone can hold it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone was also shocked, they didn't expect Zhao Fan to have a way, and immediately hurriedly asked the former what the strategy was to control the enemy.
"It's still the straw man borrowing the arrow." A smile appeared on Zhao Fan's face, looking a little meaningful.
Hearing this, everyone was also slightly stunned, and then a look of disappointment appeared in their eyes, the straw man's strategy of borrowing arrows, that is, it can work when it is used for the first time, with the experience of the past, how can Hu Ren be so stupid and continue to send arrows.
Feeling the disappointment in everyone's eyes, Zhao Fan was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Although the straw man borrowed the arrow, it was still the straw man borrowing the arrow, but this time, it was different from the last time, and the purpose was different. ”
Immediately, Zhao Fan also whispered his plan......
At the time of the third watch, the sky is full of starlight inside and outside the city in the clouds, the night light is flickering, there is a jade belt like the Milky Way in the dark night sky, it looks very good-looking, this strange and beautiful celestial phenomenon, in the view of the ancients, is to represent auspiciousness.
Tonight's sky looks very good, the night is clear, the sky is cloudless, although it is late at night, but a piece of starlight, it looks extremely beautiful and bewitching.
At this moment, above the head of Cloud City, Zhao Fan led a group of soldiers to carry the straw man used last time to the top of the city, and ordered: "Everyone like last time, blow the horn, and put the straw man down, and make the movement as big as possible to attract the attention of the Hu people." ”
These soldiers were full of doubts, as long as those Hu people had a little brain, like the straw man borrowing arrows last time, it would be impossible to fall into the plot again, why did Zhao Fan still want to use the last trick this time.
However, although they were suspicious, they still did what they were told, and the trumpet sounded suddenly, and the straw men were ready to lower the city wall.
Hu people's big tent, the loud horn sound of Cloud City suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and those Hu people defenders stood up straight as if they were nervous, looking towards Cloud City, at this moment the night was clear, and they saw at a glance the scarecrow soldiers on the city wall of Cloud City, like real people.
After a moment of stunned, they immediately laughed out loud, Yan Zha and other generals also walked out of the big tent at this moment, and when they saw this scene, they all sneered, "Zhao Fan'er, are we all stupid warriors?" The same ploy, I even want to use it a second time! ”
The other Hu generals also felt the same way, and sneered on their faces.
"No matter what, you must be on strict guard, pass on the order, and order the army not to release arrows, but at the same time, you must also pay attention to the movements of Cloud City, lest they play any more conspiracies!" Zhang Wu looked in the direction of Cloud City for a long time, and this time he commanded.
According to Zhang Wu's military order, Hu Da's tent suddenly fell into a state of nervous alert, in order to prevent them from being hit again, they were not allowed to shoot arrows in the direction of Yunzhong City, and could only order all the soldiers to work hard and pay attention to the situation of Yunzhong City.
This was the case for two days in a row, every night, the city in the clouds blew the horn, and put straw men on the city walls, and there was never a real attack, although for two days, Zhao Fan did not receive a single bow and arrow from the hands of the Hu people, but because of this, the Hu army was exhausted, and every night he had to take strict precautions.
On the evening of the third day, the sound of the trumpet sounded as usual at the head of the city of Cloudsdale.
"Bastard, Zhao Fan's little thief is endless!" Outside the Hu people's tent, Yan Zha's face was full of anger, this was the third day, the defenders of Cloud City blew the horn every night, but did not attack, but just put the straw man at the head of the city, although this did not make the Hu people lose their bows and arrows, but also made everyone extremely tired.
"King Zuo Xian, I think this is Zhao Fan's strategy to disturb the enemy, and it has no practical effect, I think, it is better to let all the soldiers rest for a while, it has been like this for two consecutive days, and I haven't had a good night's sleep." Yan Zha suggested.
In the past two days, although the horn sounded every day, Cloud City did not send troops to attack, which also made the soldiers of the Hu people less vigilant against Cloud City a lot.
Zhang Wu was silent, he glanced at the soldiers around him, and saw that including Yan Zha, his spirit was a little sluggish, and after a moment of silence, he also said: "If this is the case, then according to what you said, I will tell the soldiers to rest well tonight, and no longer be as nervous as the previous two days, and we will attack Cloud City in one go." ”
Zhang Wu agreed to Yan Zha's proposal, although he saw that the Hu soldiers had little energy, but the more important reason was that Yunzhong City was already about to be unable to hold it, and he was ready to let the soldiers rest well tonight, and Ming said that he would take Yunzhong City directly.
Hearing this, Yan Zha was also very happy, he was nervous in the past few days, he had not relaxed, and now he could finally rest well, and immediately passed the order down, leaving only the same vigilant soldiers as usual, and the others all entered the big tent to rest, preparing for the battle of tomorrow.
