Chapter 18: The Siege of the Qin Army (Part II)

"Siege! Besiege! "The Qin army erupted into an earth-shattering roar and began to attack the city." The domain name of this site is the point, please remember the domain name of this site! ”

The Qin army drove out one after another, drove under the city wall, and threw bags of soil into the moat, splashing from time to time, and it didn't take long for the moat to be filled by the Qin army.

After the moat was filled, the Qin army began to build ladders and climb towards the city.

"Quick, go to the city!" Xin Lingjun saw it clearly, held back his fright, and waved his arms and yelled.

In fact, there was no need for his urging, Zhao Jun also knew what to do, brandished Zhao Jian, and rushed towards the city.

Although their morale was not as good as that of Shicai, they still rushed forward to kill, and soon met with the Qin army soldiers who climbed up.

The Warring States Period is the era of martial arts for all the people, as long as they are good feet and good hands, they all have to practice martial arts, and they all have to be healthy, otherwise, don't want to survive in the Warring States Period. Moreover, the martial style of Zhao is particularly prevalent, and it is not under Qin, which is the result of King Zhao Wuling's implementation of the national policy of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting".

Although the Zhao people were a little frightened, they did not retreat, and went forward one after another, killing with the Qin army's sharp soldiers.

The Zhao army was brave, the Qin army was sharp, and they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

During the Warring States Period, it was not the Qin army that had the strongest individual combat ability, but the "technical fighters" trained by Sun Bin and were the best at fighting alone. The advantage of the Qin army was that it was well-equipped, well-trained, and strict in command, and was particularly good at cooperating with the battle. However, in this kind of siege warfare, it was difficult for the Qin army to cooperate and exert its strength, mainly relying on the combat ability of individual soldiers, which was difficult to gain an advantage.

"The Tiger Wolf Qin people are nothing more than that!" Xin Lingjun saw it in his eyes, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his confidence was greatly boosted, he waved his arms, and roared: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Never let the tiger wolf Qin people set foot on the city! ”

His good mood didn't last long, and it was difficult to maintain it anymore, because climbing the head of the city to attack was only one of the many siege methods of the Qin army.

"This is like Zhao Ren!" Wang Ling saw it in his eyes, nodded heavily, and praised it greatly.

Zhao was the strongest Warring States in Shandong at that time, and that was because Zhao had a large army that could fight well, known as the "strong pawn", and was the only opponent of the Qin army. Although these strong soldiers were completely annihilated by the Qin State in the Battle of Changping, however, the heroic spirit of the Zhao people is still there, the martial style still exists, and the spirit of daring to fight is still there.

"Siege the gates!" Immediately afterwards, Wang Ling issued another military order.

As soon as the order was laid, the crashed car was pushed out and slowly drove towards the city gate.

The crash was a huge log placed on the frame, with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of more than ten zhang, pushed by more than 100 and 200 Qin army warriors, through the filled moat, and slammed into the city gate made of stainless steel, breaking out with an earth-shattering sound.

"Boom!"

It was like a thousand explosions and thunders, shaking the ground and shaking the entire city wall.

"It's like an earthquake!" Qin Yiren stood on the roof of Hu Feng's liquor store, feeling the vibration coming from under his feet, and the feeling was no different from an earthquake.

The blow failed to break the city gate, Qin Jun pushed the crash car backwards, and when he reached a certain distance, he shouted again, and fought together, pushing the crash car towards the city gate again.

"Boom!" Another earth-shattering loud bang rang out, causing the drums to roar like thunder in the ears.

In this way, the Qin army's cars crashed again and again, constantly hitting the city gate, and the city gate began to deform, at first a little bit, and later, the deformation became bigger and bigger.

"Quick, attack crash, attack crash." Xin Lingjun saw it in his eyes, shocked in his heart, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and he palpitated for a while. If the Qin army breaks through the city gate, the Qin army will come in like a tide, and by that time, Handan will be finished.

There is no need for Xinlingjun to order, Zhao Jun also knows how to do it, there are bows and arrows to release arrows, there are stones to smash stones, there are crossbows with crossbows, and even use fire to attack, and attack against the crashing car. No matter how hard Zhao Jun tried, Qin Jun's crash was unaffected, and he slammed into the city gate.

The importance of the city gate does not need to be said, it is that everyone understands that when the car crashes attack the city gate, it will inevitably be attacked by the enemy.

Seeing it in his eyes, Xin Lingjun was even more frightened, and said tremblingly: "Quick! Go to the city gates! Get ready for battle! ”

"Childe, don't panic!" Mao Gong hurriedly offered a plan and said: "You can use boiling oil to burn the city gate here red, so that the Qin army cannot gain a foothold." ”

"These rocks are too small to damage a crash, so you should find some bigger ones." Xue Gong offered another plan.

"Reasonable!" When Xinling Jun first came to the battle array, his heart was pounding, how could he have the heart to think about this, and he was reminded by the two of them, so he understood and immediately gave the order.

Zhao Jun got the order, ignited the boiling oil, and poured it on the crashing car, and after a while, the flames at the city gate were blazing, and they could not gain a foothold, and the Qin army had to temporarily stop hitting the city gate.

"That's brilliant! Good plan! Xinlingjun let out a long breath.

"Tiger wolf Qin people, see how you still attack the city?" Hou Ying saw it in his eyes and was very happy.

Yi Xinlingjun wanted to come, but the flames at the gate of the city were raging, and the Qin army could not attack. However, their ideas turned out to be naïve, very naïve.

I saw a team of Qin soldiers call cold water, and poured it on the head of these Qin soldiers who used the crash car, drenching these Qin soldiers like chickens in soup, up and down their bodies, and none of them were dry.

"Tiger Wolf Qin Ren, what are you going to do?" Xin Lingjun saw it in his eyes, and he was a little unclear.

"It's over! Finished! When Xin Lingjun's thoughts turned, he suddenly understood, and his heart sank straight down.

These Qin soldiers not only drenched their bodies, but also wrapped their heads and feet with a damp cloth, and then covered their faces with a damp cloth, so that even their eyes were not exposed.

Of course, the damp cloth covering the face is sparsely closed, and you can see the scene clearly through the light.

After dealing with it, these Qin troops came to the bottom of the crash again, let out a shout, braved the flames, pushed the crash car, and rushed towards the city gate again, and another earth-shattering loud noise came, shaking the ground and trembling.

Not only that, but there was also a group of Qin troops following behind, constantly covering the flames with dirt, and wherever the soil was poured, the flames were extinguished, and the green smoke was rising.

"Quick, pour oil! Pour oil! "Xin Lingjun knows very well that he must not let the Qin army extinguish the flames, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Jun kept pouring the boiling oil, as if he didn't want money, no matter how the Qin army covered it, it was always a blaze in the air.

In this way, you pour a layer of oil, and I fill in a layer of soil, and the terrain at the city gate is getting higher and higher, which is not conducive to the Qin army hitting the city gate, and Wang Ling simply ordered to stop filling the soil.

Of course, Wang Ling still has a follow-up move, he ordered a few teams of Qin soldiers to get wet, wrapped their whole bodies on standby, and when the people in front couldn't hold on, they sent the people behind them, and so on, the car crashed into the city gate intermittently, but good progress was made, and the deformation of the city gate became bigger and bigger.

If this continues, sooner or later the city gate will be smashed open, and destroying the crash is the best way.

After a period of tossing, Zhao Jun finally got a huge stone the size of a grinding plate, which was piled up on the top of the city, this time, Xinlingjun finally got smart once, and did not order to push these stones down sporadically, but waited until the accumulation was almost complete, and then ordered: "Smash!" Smash! Smash hard! ”

Zhao Jun hurriedly pushed the boulder and smashed it down the city, smashing it the crashing car, and a deafening sound broke out.

Although the crash was firm, however, hundreds of thousands of pounds of boulders were smashed down from the city, what a huge force it was, the crash could no longer stand it, and it was quickly smashed, and the Qin army had to retreat.

"Haha!" Xinling Jun was overjoyed, and his eyes and nose were crowded.

On the roof of Hu Feng's restaurant, Qin Yiren, Huang Shigong and Wei Yi were looking at it, smiling and feasting, and were commenting.

"I bet Xinling-kun will be very happy." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows.

"I'm also betting that Xinling-kun's joy will soon come to naught." Huang Shigong shook his head.

"He is the first time in his life that he has been on the battlefield, and he will rejoice whenever there is progress, so don't make fun of him." Wei Yu is serious, but his words are full of ridicule.

As the three of Qin Yiren said, Xinlingjun's joy did not last long, and it was gone, just because the Qin army pushed out the crash car again and slammed into the city gate.

Handan is the capital of Zhao State, it will not be so easy to capture, and it is impossible to break through the city gate with just one crash, the Qin army has long been prepared and prepared for a lot of crashes, one is smashed, and it will be replaced by another one immediately.

With experience, Xin Lingjun's command was much calmer, and under his command, the Zhao army bravely rushed to kill and fought hand-to-hand with the Qin army at the head of the city, making it difficult for the Qin army to make progress. Under the city gate, Zhao Jun threw boulders down from time to time, smashing and crashing cars.

The entire siege battle became a battle of the Latch, and the offensive of the Qin army was very fierce, but it was difficult to make progress. Although the Zhao army held the city, it was costly, and there were many casualties.

The reason why the casualties of the Zhao army were so high was because of the chaotic command of Xinling Jun, who was inexperienced and unskilled in command for the first time, and died many soldiers in vain, and was shot by a strong crossbow is the best proof.

The second is because the Qin army is the elite, and the elite of the Zhao State has long been annihilated by the Qin State in the Battle of Changping, these Zhao troops were hastily recruited, the small ones are still minors, and the old ones are almost out of the fart, which is the opponent of the Qin army's sharp soldiers.

Fortunately, Handan is a strong city, since Zhao became a prince, it has been painstakingly operated, and it has been hundreds of years, built like an iron bucket, so that the Zhao army has an advantage. The Zhao army fought to the death based on Handan City, creating great trouble for the Qin army.

Of course, if the two armies met outside the city and fought a field battle, the Zhao army was not the opponent of the Qin army at all, and it only took a few charges to completely annihilate the Zhao army.

"Handan is really a strong city, so difficult to attack!" Wang Ling looked at the fortified Handan City, and was very troubled.

"You don't have to worry, Handan is so strong that it is rare in the world, which can be captured in a short time." Meng Fu was relieved.

"Of course I know that Handan is the Golden City of Tangchi, but I'm anxious." Wang Ling's eyes widened.

"It's useless to be anxious, you have to be calm." Meng Fu said: "With such a strong city, it would be good to be able to capture it in a year and a half." ”

Meng Wei is right, Handan is difficult to attack, everyone in the world knows, although the elite of Zhao State has been lost, it is commendable that the Qin army can be captured within a year and a half.
