Volume 2 Famous Moves the World Chapter 18 The Qin Army Siege (Part II)
"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”
The dull sound of flesh, accompanied by Zhao Jun's screams, shook the heavens and the earth.
The scene when the crossbow bolt pierced through Zhao Jun's body was a spectacle and extremely shocking.
The high-speed crossbow arrow ruthlessly penetrated Zhao Jun's body, because of the fast speed and strong strength of the crossbow arrow, it penetrated Zhao Jun's body effortlessly, not to mention, and let the blood not have time to fill the wounds on the body. There is often a scene of a crossbow bolt flying away from the body, and the wound is still transparent, and the light on the opposite side can be seen.
Suddenly, blood gushed out, filling the blood holes, and splashing everywhere, like a fully open water tap, splashing far away.
If that's all it is, it's not a spectacle, and there's something even more shocking.
The force of the crossbow was too great, and many Zhao Jun were taken to fly, screaming in the air, calling dad and mother, dancing with their hands, as if dancing in space.
How terrifying is it that a crossbow bolt carries one or two people at a minimum, or three or five people at most, and flies in the middle of the flight, like a human flesh skewer?
The crossbow arrows fell with all their might, and many soldiers piled up together, piling up into small mountains of corpses.
With the increase in the number of fallen Zhao troops, soon, huge mountains of corpses were formed, and they kept shaking, which was the result of the corpse's endless convulsions.
After the first round of killings, the originally dense city head was empty, if it weren't for the pile of corpses behind it, and the splash of blood, the red city head proved that they once existed, and it would definitely make people mistakenly think that Zhao Jun did not exist at all.
"Where is this war, it is pure slaughter!" Qin Yiren looked at the already sparse city, shocked, and his face changed.
"Hey!" Wei Yi sighed and said, "Such an incompetent person is also worthy of leading the army." ”
Huang Shigong shook his head, and he was not even interested in commenting.
The slaughter of Zhao Jun was the fault of Xinlingjun and his mishandling.
"A general is incompetent and exhausts a thousand troops!" As the prince of Qin, the more Zhao Jun died, the more Qin Yiren should be happy. However, Qin Yiren had a heavy heart and only regrets.
It is true that the Zhao army is the enemy of the Qin army, the more they die, the better, but they should not die like this. Instead, he should die in the fight against the Qin army.
"What Childe said is very true. The incompetence will exhaust thousands of troops, and the selection of generals cannot be careless! Huang Shigong shook his head, agreeing with Qin Yiren's comments.
"King Zhao has chosen incompetent generals again and again, and he deserves to be exhausted!" Wei Yi sighed with emotion.
In the Battle of Changping, King Zhao Xiaocheng mistakenly believed the rumors of Qin, dismissed Lian Po's military power, and reused Zhao Kuo, and Zhao was defeated because of this. 500,000 Jing Rui were lost. Not long after this incident, he misused Xinlingjun again, causing such a big loss, which made people speechless.
Xinlingjun's face was as pale as paper, without a little blood, as if he had been buried in the soil. He had never been on the battlefield in his life. He didn't know the hardships of the battlefield at all, and now he was not only on the battlefield, but he was also facing the Qin army, which was the most powerful in the world, and he almost scared his courage.
"I regret it! If you knew this was the case, why did you get this military order? Xin Lingjun regretted it in his heart, regretting that he was greedy for the handle of the army and became the general of the Zhao State.
"Xinling-kun. There is no way back. Zhu Hai reminded in a deep voice, like thunder roaring.
"Yes. There is no way back. Hou Ying, Mao Gong, and Xue Gong agreed.
If Xinlingjun had not become the general of Zhao State, perhaps King Qin Zhao would have let him go for the sake of his fame all over the world. Although this possibility xing is not too high. Since he became the general of Zhao State, he has no way out, Qin State will never let him go, if he is defeated, he will definitely become a prisoner of Qin State.
"Whew!" Xin Lingjun couldn't help but inhale the cool air and forced himself to calm down, however, the more he inhaled the cool air, the more he felt that his body was hot, and he soon sweated like pulp.
"Order, let them come down, go down to the city, don't send them to death on top!" Xin Lingjun finally opened his mind, and he finally understood that it was the mistake he made to bury so many Zhao Jun's lives for no reason.
His disposition was right, it was just too late, too late.
"Woohoo!" The sharp sound of breaking the air sounded again, and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, weaving into a huge net, and facing the city's head.
A crossbow arrow, like a poisonous snake, covers the sky
i, the black pressure is overwhelming, the sunlight can't penetrate, the city is dark, and there are countless casualties.
The crossbow array is not a "one-hammer deal", but a round of shè. Generally speaking, the crossbow array will be divided into three batches, one group of shè kills, one batch of preparation, and one batch of reloading, only in this way can the enemy inflict uninterrupted shè kills and cause maximum damage to the enemy.
After the first round of shè killings of the Qin army, followed by the second round of shè killings, it would not give the Zhao army a chance to withdraw the city, yes, although Xinling Jun's disposition was opposite, it was too late.
After the second round of shè kills, it is the third round. The third round comes over, and the fourth round comes over and over again, without any gaps.
Under the Qin army's turns, the Zhao army was carrying crossbow arrows and braving the rain of arrows, and after a long period of chaos, it was finally withdrawn. However, the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, countless casualties, and the entire city was red
It sparkles in the light and is indescribably bewitching.
"It's really Zhao Kuo's second!" Huang Shigong couldn't help shaking his head, feeling a lot of regret.
Wei Yida agreed with this.
If it weren't for Xin Lingjun's mishandling, Zhao Jun would not have paid such a high price.
"Xinling Jun is luckier than Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo has no chance to correct it, but he has a chance!" Qin Yiren smiled and commented again.
"That's right!" Huangshi Gongda agrees with this review.
"Although the world is ridiculing Zhao Kuo, as far as I know, Bai Qi is full of praise for him." Wei Yi nodded and said something surprising.
"What do you mean by that?" Qin Yiren was very surprised.
What kind of person is Bai Qi? That is the god of war, looking at the world, no one is his opponent, his vision is extremely high, he is full of praise for Zhao Kuo, it is really unexpected.
This is exactly what Huang Shigong wanted to ask, staring at Wei Yu.
"You know, my father is the captain of the Wei State, and he can know some news that no one can know." Wei Yi smiled and explained to Qin Yiren, "According to the news my father received, Bai Qi praised Zhao Kuo as a piece of beautiful jade, but there was no good work to carve it, if it was timely
i, let him understand the art of war, then, Zhao Kuo will definitely become an invincible general, looking at the world, it is difficult to have an opponent. It was precisely because Bai Qi was afraid of Zhao Kuo that he mobilized a strong crossbow and formed a crossbow array to kill Zhao Kuo. ”
Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo's opinion on the art of war is that his father Zhao Hao can't bend. Zhao Hao was the first famous general of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong to defeat the Qin army, and when Lian Po thought that the Qin army was invincible, he was ordered to defeat the Qin army in a battle. Even Zhao Hao couldn't convince Zhao Kuo, which shows how good Zhao Kuo's views on the art of war are.
Moreover, Zhao Kuo planned to put Zhao Jun in a desperate situation, it stands to reason that Zhao Jun should hate him to the core, kill him quickly, and not obey his orders. In fact, this is not the case at all, in more than forty years
iThere is no surroundment that eats or drinks
In the i-son, Zhao Jun still obeyed his orders, and this alone shows Zhao Kuo's talent.
If it were a different person, he would have been killed by Zhao Jun who was in despair, how could he obey his orders?
However, Zhao Kuo lacked tempering, he was too young, too sharp, he was in a high position, he commanded the three armies, and he was a little blindly confident, so he fell into Bai Qi's plan.
It is conceivable that if Zhao Kuo escaped in the Battle of Changping and survived, he would definitely learn from the pain, and his extraordinary vision and experience would be fused together, and he would definitely become a world-famous general.
It was precisely because Bai Qi saw this that he wanted to kill Zhao Kuo at all costs, and after some efforts, he finally killed Zhao Kuo and relieved the Qin State of the great trouble.
"Not only Bai Qi is full of praise for Zhao Kuo, but also the generals of the Qin army who participated in the war, as soon as they mention Zhao Kuo, there are only four words: fierce and heroic!" Wei Yu's next words were very shocking, and said: "It is said that after Zhao Kuo's death, many Qin army generals shed tears, and it is a pity that such a talented person died early. ”
In the more than forty surrounded
In i, Zhao Kuo can not only control the Zhao army, but also make the Zhao army show strong combat power, give the Qin army huge casualties, and make the Qin army suffer a lot of casualties, which is a miracle, not everyone can do it.
The four words "fierce and heroic", Zhao Kuo is enough to deserve it.
"Later generations know that Zhao Kuo can only talk on paper, but they don't know what Zhao Kuo can do!" Qin Yiren sighed with emotion in his heart.
Just as they lamented this, the offensive of the Qin army changed.
"Fire bomb, let's go!" Wang Ling took in the scene of Handan City on the cloud car, and saw that there were not many Zhao troops on the city head, and it was useless to kill the crossbow again, and it was time to change to a siege weapon.
The captain of the herald unfurls the command flag and passes down the military order.
The Qin army put the clay pot in the bucket of the trebuchet, and then lit it with a torch, the trebuchet was powerful, and a sharp whistling sounded, only to see a fireball appear in the air, draw a beautiful trajectory, and smash it towards the city.
"Bang bang bang!" In the earth-shattering collision, the fireball smashed on the city, scattered and splashed, and a black liquid appeared, flowing and burning wherever it went, and in just a moment, the entire city was a sea of fire, and the flames were raging.
During the Warring States Period, oil was called "fierce fire oil", which was a specialty of the Qin State, and the six countries of Shandong did not have it.
The oil source in ancient China was in modern Yan'an, which was within the territory of the Qin State. Since discovering that oil can be burned and can be used to make siege weapons, the Qin people put the oil in clay pots, light it, and throw it into the enemy line with trebuchets to create chaos and burn the enemy.
The six kingdoms of Shandong did not have oil, and if they wanted to carry out a similar strike, they would need to grease the cobblestone, and then throw it into the enemy line with a trebuchet to create chaos for the enemy and burn the enemy, which was much less efficient than the fierce fire oil of the Qin army.
Fierce fire bombs were thrown towards the head of Handan City one after another, not only was there a sea of fire on the head of the city, but even behind the city wall was also blazing, and it was difficult for the Zhao army to have a foothold.
"Siege!" The fierce fire and bombs forced the Zhao army away from the city, which was a good opportunity to attack the city, and Wang Ling decisively ordered.
