Jimo, the second largest city in Qi State, is also a strategic location, the location echoes with Linzi City, once Linzi has something to do with rapid reinforcements, each other to contain each other's troops, when the Le Yi army suffered from it, the Yan army was different from today's Zhao army, the Yan army was limited, unable to block Jimo and besiege Linzi at the same time, coupled with the lack of effective containment on the water, the caravan transported food and materials into Linzi by waterway.

There are many camps between Linzi and Jimo, and scouts are distributed on the periphery, once Jimo City sends troops, it can respond quickly, survive the cold winter, the weather is warmer, there is no movement in the territory of Qi State, Lei Meng stands on a high place, "This battle is the most boring." ”

"How the general defeated the army of Qin back then, the brothers want to hear it."

"Want to hear it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, return to the big tent."

Lei Meng told everything that happened in Changping that day, and when it came to the wonderful place, there was a lot of applause in the big tent, the Zhao army was completely in trouble, there was no food available, and the periphery was the killing god Bai Qi hundreds of thousands of troops, and he was stunned to force the Qin army to withdraw from Changping with one breath.

"Okay, let's all go back, as long as you follow the king, there is no battle that you can't win." Everyone left, Lei Meng lay there, couldn't help but think of the past, the battle of Changping, counting the time, more than ten years have passed, Zhao State has experienced several changes and finally destroyed Wei and Han, Qi State is also unavoidable, the biggest opponent is still Qin State.

A few days without incident, the camp was practiced during the day, and the army rested at night, and just after breakfast on this day, a group of cavalry approached quickly, and the defenders recognized that the person headed by was Zhang He, the chief general on the west side, "General Lei can be in the big tent." ”

"In!"

"Good!"

Zhang He urged the horse to come to the big tent and flew off the horse, the cloth tent was opened, and Lei Meng laughed, "Brother Zhang He, but you want me to die." ”

"Don't worry, the military order has arrived."

"Finally wait for this day to conquer Linzi?"

Zhang He nodded, "The Qi army attacked at night, and the king used a trick to lure the enemy to make the opponent's main force out of the city, and then in one fell swoop." ”

"Happy, do you have a military order?"

"Soldiers are ready to ink."

"Then what are you waiting for, beat the drums and raise the army."

Lei Meng and Zhang He are all promoted from the new army, the two cooperate very tacitly, the time is not long, the war drum is beating, Lei Meng led 30,000 former army elites first, Zhang He left to mobilize the army and materials, that is, the defenders of Mocheng are limited, there is no danger along the way, and the 30,000 elites led by Lei Meng are enough.

The army of Yan under Jimo City attacked the city day and night, Yan Wang Dan showed displeasure, and the army was unable to advance an inch after ten days, a small Jimo City was so difficult, just ask how to compete with Qin and Zhao.

"Where will the Lord be?"

It didn't take long for a person to come forward quickly, "King." "There are people with leopard heads and tiger eyes, there is no shortage of warriors in Yan Kingdom, but it is a pity that there are no good generals since Le Yi.

"General Fan, how to explain that the ten-day period has arrived!"

The man said: "Back to the king, the advantage of the siege battle lies in the fact that the enemy is not in himself, that is, the Mo defenders desperately defended the city and were repelled by the other party many times, and the king can rest assured that he will definitely be able to attack in another ten days." ”

"Ten days is too long, the widow has lost patience, three days, three days at most, otherwise I will come to see you."

The main general had no choice but to agree, three days, the fortifications in the city of Jimo were complete, the boulders, arrows and crossbows were all available, the Yan land was mountainous, and the Yan army was also adapted to field battles outside the city, so such a large-scale siege completely occupied a disadvantage.

"Why is the king so anxious?"

Gongsun Cao's beard is white, this old minister of Yan is deeply valued by the king of Yan, and this expedition also follows left and right, "It's not that the widow is in a hurry, but the Zhao country, the spies came to report, and the Zhao army invaded Linzi, so the speed was completely beyond the expectations of the widow." ”

Gongsun Cao nodded, "The 200,000 defenders are sitting on the fortified city, which is indeed faster." "At that time, the famous general of Yan State, Le Yi, led the army to besiege Linzi and Jimo for five years and could not break through, and now it is amazing that the Zhao army has broken through Linzi in less than a year.

"The widow's move is also helpless, although Huang County and other places are small cities that are difficult to hold for a long time, only by capturing Jimo, and then occupying the Jimo area to strengthen the offensive can stop the army of Zhao State."

"Is the king going to Zhao Xingbing?"

Yan Wang Dan snorted coldly, "The widow has no choice, and a battle between Yan and Zhao is inevitable!" "Yan is located in the middle of nowhere, and now the neighboring land is almost occupied by Zhao, and the only way to expand the territory is to Zhao Xingbing, the so-called covenant is just an agreement to obtain benefits from each other, once the conflict is due to interests, the covenant is completely useless.

Gongsun Cao sighed, "I'm old, I'm really old, if I can really don't want to see such a situation." ”

"Sangkook has no confidence in the widow?"

Gongsun Cao shook his head, "The king's wisdom and decisiveness are the masters of the world, how can Zhao Kuo be the hero, the master of the Ming meets the hero, who wins and who loses, one look at the timing, the second look at the strength, Zhao Kuo's fierce generals are like clouds, not comparable to the king." "Gongsun is cunning and cunning, and comparing Yan Wang Dan with Zhao Kuo is undoubtedly to increase the value of Yan Wang, and then analyze each other's advantages and disadvantages, and put forward the disadvantages of Yan Jun with the fierce generals under his account, which is the most acceptable.

Yan Wang Dan laughed, "He Zhao Kuo has, isn't this king impossible." After speaking, the palms of his hands were slapped three times in a row, and the three of them stepped in, Gongsun Cao turned to look, the three of them had wide shoulders and round waists, and they were wearing fierce animal skins, so they must be strong.

"The King."

Gongsun Cao looked at it, "Who are these three?" ”

King Yan said with a smile: "The widow is fortunate to have the help of three warriors, and he will take him with him on this expedition." ”

"I see."

Gongsun Cao rolled his eyes, this matter has never been mentioned, Yan Wang Dan is ambitious, this year also strengthens his own power, he is old, really old, not to want dictatorship, Yan Wang Dan is too young after all, Yan Guo's strength is relatively weak, and he can't even fight with Qi, how to compete with the powerful Zhao and Qin, all he has to do is to wait for the opportunity, and it can be seen from Yan Wang's eyes that he can't wait.

"Lord Xiangguo rest assured, the widow knows how to measure, this battle is just to occupy Jimo and has no heart to fight with Zhao, Xiangguo's daily teachings are always in mind."

"The old minister is too worried."

At dusk on the third day, there was a loud bang, and the Jimo City Gate finally couldn't bear to fall down, and the main general of the Yan army who attacked the periphery showed joy on his face, and the hard battle day and night finally paid off, "Attack." ”

The city gate fell, the defenders of the city retreated one after another, and the dangerous part of the city wall was completely occupied by the Yan army. ”

The soldiers ran in quickly, "King, Xiangguo, our army has entered Jimo." ”

"Good!"

King Yan stood up and walked out quickly, Gongsun Cao's pace was slightly slow, King Yan was anxious to care about others, flew on his horse and went straight to the front, looking from a distance, the flag of Yan Guo was fluttering above the city wall of Jimo, and Yan Wang Danren was happy on the horse, "The great cause of the rejuvenation of Yan has finally taken the first step!" ”

The general of the Yan army had a sad face, and the king of Yan came to the front under the escort of his own soldiers, and the main general had to come forward to see, "The king." ”

"The general really lives up to the trust of the widow, and he will have his own reward after the situation stabilizes."

"King Xie, the last general will not dare to invite credit, there is a difference in the city, and please ask the king to decide."

"Oh, take me there."

Yan Wang Dan entered the city gate and finally saw clearly, Jimo City, as the second largest city of Qi State, was also built in imitation of Linzi, which was divided into two cities, the inner city and the outer city, although it was not necessary, the outer city could still be used to block the Yan army, and the soldiers of Qi above the inner city were standing just waiting for the Yan army to attack.

"Keep fighting, no matter what it takes."

Yan Wang Dan insisted on capturing Jimo, and the main general had to launch an offensive again, the inner city was connected to the outer city, and the crossbowmen were close to the outer city wall to shoot the defenders of the inner city with bows and crossbows, shouting and killing, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle again.

Three days have passed, the corpses in Jimo City are full of blood, more than half of the defenders of Qi have been killed and wounded, and the Yan army has more casualties, Yan Wang Dan's eyes are red, he has not slept a peaceful sleep for a few days, and his only remaining patience has been worn out again and again, especially when he heard the spies coming to report that the army of Zhao State was approaching Jimo City, his face became more and more ugly.

Gongsun Cao never said a word in his eyes, since King Yan had the intention to control the overall situation, he simply relied on him, and the great cause of Yan always depended on him.

"Do you remember the covenant?"

"Together, each gets what he gets."

King Yan nodded, "Yes, now that our army has broken through the outer city, according to the agreement, the Zhao army can only assist in the siege, not occupy it." ”

"It stands to reason that it should be."

"Okay, the widow will reason with Zhao Kuo this time."

King Yan was happy, everything always has a sequence, this King Zhao must be clear, that is, Mocheng can be conquered soon, if the Zhao army forcibly captures it, it will not only violate the covenant, but also make the people of the world laugh at the treachery of the Zhao people.
