Chapter 34: Running Horses in the City (Part II)

"Dirt bag? Tiger Wolf Qin Ren What is this going to do? ”

"Could it be that the tiger wolf Qin people are stupid?"

Looking at the Qin army rushing quickly with a group of dirt bags, the Zhao soldiers at the head of the city didn't know why, and their eyes widened and they looked puzzled.

Not only the ordinary soldiers were puzzled, but even the general Xin Lingjun was also puzzled, his eyes were round, staring at the Qin army, with a puzzled expression.

Hou Ying, Mao Gong, Xue Gong and Zhu Hai, these henchmen, are also puzzled.

"Why do the Tiger Wolf Qin people use dirt bags? Could it be that the Tiger Wolf Qin people thought that they could capture Handan with a dirt bag? Zhu Hai, who had an upright temperament, was about to fall off his eyes and asked loudly.

No one can explain this.

Just when they were puzzled, they saw that the Qin soldiers with dirt bags on their backs had already rushed to the city wall, threw the dirt bags under the city wall, turned around, and quickly rushed back towards the Qin army camp.

One by one, the Qin soldiers rushed to the city wall, threw away the dirt bags, and after a while, they piled up the boss's pile of dirt bags.

There was no gap between the Qin soldiers and soldiers, and after a while, a ramp about ten zhang wide and two feet high appeared under the city wall.

"Not good!" Mao Gong suddenly exclaimed, his face shocked.

"What's wrong?" Xin Lingjun obviously hadn't reacted yet, and he was a little unhappy.

The Qin army did not concentrate its forces to attack the city, did these useless things, and threw the soil bag under the city wall, this is a great thing, what's so bad?

"Quick, attack these Qin troops, you can't let them throw dirt bags anymore." Xue Gong also reacted, with a frightened face, and reminded Xinling Jun: "The Qin army is going to fill in a ramp, and the Qin army is going to attack the city from here." ”

"Fill out the ramp?" Xinlingjun is not a stupid person, as soon as he was reminded, he immediately woke up, his face changed greatly, and his face was frightened.

The Qin army's offensive is already fierce enough, if you fill in another ramp for the Qin army. The Qin army is tantamount to a tiger with wings. It's hard to stop it anymore, so he can't be afraid.

"The Qin army must not be allowed to fill in the ramp again." Hou Ying also reacted, and roared: "Quick, attack these Qin troops." ”

There is no need for Hou Ying to urge, Xin Lingjun also knows what to do, if he doesn't know how to do it yet, he will become a pig. With a wave of his hand, he said: "Go, mobilize a thousand archers to come over and shoot all these Qin troops." ”

Soon, the archers of the Zhao army were transferred over, bending their bows and arrows. The Qin army carrying the dirt bag was a flurry of arrows, and the Qin army suffered many casualties.

Above the cloud car, Qin Yiren looked at it. couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Xinlingjun understands now, but it's useless. ”

"Command, charge the archers, take cover." Wang Ling categorically ordered.

The command flag in Wei Yu's hand waved. It's neat and beautiful. It is worthy of the future art of war.

The Qin army, which rushed to the head of the city, received the order and lost its opponent. He rushed towards the archers. The archers are not good at close combat, which is the opponent of the Qin army. After only a while, it was rushed to pieces, and the Qin army carrying the dirt bag under the city was safe.

"Tune the archers again. Then adjust the foot pawn and cover it. Xin Lingjun suddenly realized that he had made another mistake, that is, when he was frightened, he forgot to transfer infantry to cover the archers, and had to make up for it.

Another team of archers was transferred and, under the cover of the foot soldiers, shot and killed the Qin army carrying the dirt bag. The Qin army at the head of the city naturally had to charge the archers and fight with the foot soldiers covering the archers.

With the cover of these foot soldiers, the safety of the archers has improved a lot, and they can safely shoot the Qin army carrying dirt bags under the city.

"Order, let the pawn take cover with a shield." Wang Ling saw it in his eyes, and another order was passed down.

A group of Qin troops carrying shields rushed out of the camp, came to the city wall, held their shields high, and the shields overlapped one by one to form a huge shield array, and the arrows shot from the city head were shot on the shields, and it was no longer possible to shoot the Qin troops carrying dirt bags.

With the cover of the shield, the Qin army carrying the dirt bag was much safer, and the dirt bag was carried more, and soon, the ramp was already five feet high.

The city wall of Handan is only a few zhang high, according to this progress, if the Qin army cannot be stopped from building a ramp, but in three or two days, the Qin army will build an artificial ramp. At that time, the Qin army could rush up the city wall from the ramp and launch an even more fierce attack on the Zhao army.

"You have to find a way, you have to find a way!" Xin Lingjun's face was a little distorted, anxious, and roared vigorously in his heart.

He was originally a Wei man, but he became a general of the Zhao State and participated in the battle of Qin and Zhao, which was against the Qin State. If Handan is breached, his life will be difficult to protect. Not only his life is difficult to protect, but also the lives of his family and doormen. King Qin Zhao definitely wanted to kill him to set an example, and he couldn't help but be afraid.

But what about this situation? There is no other way but to sigh in vain.

"Quick, order someone to push down the stone and pour the oil upside down." Shin Ling-kun ordered loudly.

"It's useless." Mao Gong and Xue Gong knew very well that this method was not of much use, but it was better than nothing.

Sure enough, the boulder fell down with little effect.

"Boom!" A boulder the size of a millstone fell from the city, several shields were smashed, and several Qin soldiers were killed and wounded. However, the Qin army quickly closed the gap again.

"Smash it again!" Xinling Jun blushed and shouted in a deep voice.

Another boulder fell, and a loud shout came from the Qin army: "Get out of the way!" "Qin Jun's movements were very fast, a gap flashed, and the boulder smashed directly on the soil bag, and it didn't hit Qin Jun at all, in vain.

One after another boulders fell, and the Qin army either dodged away, leaving Xin Lingjun's efforts in vain; Either the Qin army was hit, killing and wounding several people.

In this way, the Qin soldiers carried the earth bags with arrows and boulders on the top of the city, and the ramp increased little by little.

As for Zhao Jun's pouring oil, it was of little use, and it was quickly covered up by the soil bag, and it couldn't hurt Qin Jun at all.

"Order, take turns to attack, and contain the Zhao army!" Wang Ling was greatly satisfied with this progress, and passed on another general.

Launching an onslaught elsewhere to contain the Zhao army and prevent the Zhao army from attacking the ramp here is the best way to deal with it.

The Qin army was ordered to launch an overwhelming offensive against Handan, and the offensive was like a tide, wave after wave, suppressing the Zhao army.

This can make Xinlingjun anxious, and the urgent news came one after another, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't cope with it, and he couldn't take care of the ramp here anymore.

As soon as the pressure on the ramp is reduced, the speed of building the ramp will be faster, and it will be nearly a foot high in more than half a day.

As the height of the ramp increases, so does its length, requiring more bags of dirt and a slower speed. Still, the ramp is progressing smoothly and as expected.

"The day is not far off when we will take the city!"

"Handan is about to break!"

"The State of Zhao is about to be destroyed by Great Qin!"

The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, the momentum was like a rainbow, the blood was boiling, a point of strength became ten, and the offensive was even more ferocious.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun's morale gradually declined. At this time, as long as everyone understands the plan of the Qin army, it is to build a ramp to provide the greatest advantage for the Qin army to attack the city. If the Qin army's plan is realized, Handan will be difficult to protect, and if Handan cannot be saved, the Zhao State will be destroyed, and the morale of the Zhao army will not be low.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xin Lingjun's heart sank, and he hurriedly gathered Hou Ying, Mao Gong, Xue Gong and Zhu Hai, these henchmen, to discuss.

"You say, 'How is this going to be?' Xin Lingjun's face was frightened.

"If it goes on like this, it is inevitable that Handan will be attacked, and we must make plans early." Hou Ying groaned.

"I intend to, first, report this matter to King Zhao, so that King Zhao can be prepared. Second, we must prepare to escape when Handan is broken. Mao Gongwei pondered and said his thoughts.

"King Zhao treats me with a naked heart, entrusts me with the general, and tells King Zhao that it is right." Xin Lingjun groaned: "It's just, how are we going to escape from Handan? ”

It is not difficult to inform King Zhao about this, but with a few words, the difficulty is how to escape from Handan. You must know that Handan was besieged by the Qin army, and if you want to escape, it is not easy to talk about it, and Xinlingjun is really blind.

"It's not that hard to escape." Xue Gong offered a plan and said: "According to my observation, the Qin army's attack on Handan this time is not 400,000, at most 200......,000, at most 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand?" Xin Lingjun was a little unconvinced.

"That's right, 200,000." Xue Gong said in a deep voice: "The Qin army has made a camp of 400,000 troops, this is a bluff, take the lead in taking people, and the prince must not be fooled." ”

Wang Ling's bluff is really capable of bluffing people, and he bluffed Xinling Jun, if it weren't for Xue Gong's shrewdness, he would still be in the dark.

"200,000, that's much easier." Xinlingjun breathed a long sigh of relief.

"In a golden city like Handan, how can an army of 200,000 people surround it, there must be weak forces, we only need to concentrate our forces, and we can rush out with a burst of impact." Xue Gong analyzed.

Handan is a heavy city, covering a large area, if you want to encircle it impermeable, it is far from being able to do it with an army of 200,000, at least 300,000, preferably 400,000.

In fact, as Xue Gong expected, the Qin army's siege of Handan was a key siege, that is, heavy troops were deployed in important areas, and there were not many Qin troops in less important places, and if Xinlingjun concentrated his forces to break through, the possibility was extremely high.

There is a possibility of escape, Xin Lingjun's fear is not so great, clean up his mood, rush to King Zhao's palace, and meet King Zhao.

"Xinling-kun, is there any good news?" As soon as he saw Xinlingjun's face, King Zhao Xiaocheng greeted him, impatient.

"Your lord, Handan is about to break, please prepare as soon as possible." However, Xin Lingjun's words made King Zhao Xiaocheng almost out of his body.

"What? Handan is going to break? King Zhao Xiaocheng screamed, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

Since the siege of the city by the Qin army, this is what he is most worried about, and now, Xinlingjun himself told him that Handan is about to be broken, and for him, it is like five thunderbolts.

"Great King, the Qin people are cunning and are building a ramp, which will soon succeed." Xin Lingjun looked at King Zhao Xiaocheng's frightened look in his eyes, quite unbearable, and a little complacent, and muttered in his heart: "Finally, someone is more scared than me." ”

"How's that for good? How is it good? "King Zhao Xiaocheng is completely blind and has no idea. (To be continued.) )
