Chapter 244: The Great Battle of Qin and Zhao
Bell-bell-bell-bell-bell!
Because of the sudden appearance of the trap, the siege ladder suddenly became unusable, and Dai Tuo had to give an order to Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Looking at the Zhao soldiers who were retreating like a tide, Qin Wu did not let the archers on the head of the city continue to attack with arrows, but stopped continuing the attack very tacitly, and then discharged more than a thousand soldiers out of the city to collect arrows and armor that were still available outside the city.
All classes have weapons and armor that wear out as the battle continues. The infantry's weapons will be dull, broken, and broken, the archers' arrows will be consumed, the longbows will be drawn, and their armor will be cut through by enemy attacks.
Controlling an army is not once and for all, to feed the army's food supply, if you want the army to be strong, you must have sophisticated weapons and equipment, and if you want the army to defeat the enemy, you must also maintain a strong morale, Qin Wu can be said to have just started now, if you want to deal with Qin and Zhao, the two extremely powerful vassal states, you must be cautious.
"It's troublesome, it's not the mediocre people who occupy Qincheng, although it is not impossible to capture Qincheng, but the price you need to pay is not small. According to the intelligence, it was Qin Wu, the god-giver general of the Qin army, who controlled Qincheng before, and now there is a red martial arts flag on the head of the city, and the difficulty is that Qin Wu betrayed the Qin State and set up his own door!? ”
Ming Jin collected his troops and returned to the camp, and in the main general's tent, he led dozens of civil and military generals to lead the way.
"It should be, Qin Wu was originally the god giver of our Zhao Kingdom, and if he can leave our Zhao Kingdom, he can naturally leave Qin Kingdom. However, compared to our losses, the losses of the Qin State were fought, and tens of thousands of well-trained troops fell into the hands of such a god-giver. ”
Yan Zhou, the general under Dai Tuo, chuckled.
Yan Zhou, a general of Zhao, born and died unknown, led the Zhao army to capture Changcheng, Gaotang and other places in Qi in 274 BC. Among them, Gao Tang is one of the five capitals of Qi State, and his status is equivalent to that of Linzi, the capital of Qi, and Yan Zhou was able to capture Gao Tang, proving that he has high military attainments.
"In just two months, Qin Wu can go from a weak god giver to a famous general, whose wisdom and courage are all excellent, and we should not be underestimated."
Zhao Ru, who had a relationship with Qin Wu in Handan, suddenly spoke up.
It's just that in that meeting, Qin Wu beat Zhao Liang in order to help Luo Fu get out of trouble, and Zhao Ru was only a city guard captain in Handan City at that time, so neither of them knew about the existence of the other.
After discussing for a while, Dai Tuo continued to attack Qincheng.
First, he sacrificed more than 1,000 people, filled the big pit under Qincheng with earthen bags, and then continued to attack Qincheng with a ladder.
In the face of the onslaught of Dai Tuo regardless of casualties, Qin Wu was to block it with soldiers and cover it with water. Qin Wu personally sat at the north gate, Xiqishu sat at the east gate, and Feng Zai sat at the west gate, the three of them worked together, and the three city walls were as stable as Mount Tai, plus well-prepared city defense materials and tall and powerful Qin soldiers, Qin Wu repelled the attacks of the Zhao army again and again.
"General Tuo, Qin Wu sentenced the Qin army, and also abducted tens of thousands of troops, the Qin State will definitely not tolerate him, there is no need for us to attack, the Qin army of the party will naturally attack Qin Wu. And Qin Wu's departure has further weakened the strength of the Shangdang Qin army, as long as we drive the Shangdang Qin army away, it will naturally be easy to deal with Qin Wu, who only has two cities. ”
After attacking for three days in a row, Qincheng couldn't be attacked, and it didn't show that he couldn't hold on until now, Zhao Ru couldn't help but suggest.
"It's okay, if you continue to attack Qincheng, it will only be an attempt to damage the strength of our army, let the people of Qin gnaw on this hard bone."
Shaking his head and sighing lightly, he said.
For Dai Tuo's departure, Qin Wu did not pursue, but immediately started the aftermath work, repaired the city wall, mobilized all the forces in the city, and built armor and arrows to meet the next battle.
Just when he was taking Tuo to storm Qincheng, Bai Qi, Bailishi and others also got the news that Qin Wu and Xi Qishu had betrayed the Qin army together.
In this regard, Bai Qi was very angry and vowed to kill Qin Wu and Xi Qishu, while Baili Shi shook his head regretfully after a moment's pause.
Whether it is Qin Wu or Xi Qishu, they are all people he values very much, but he did not expect to choose to leave the Qin army at such a critical juncture and establish his own power, obviously seeing the opportunity to make a fortune and fight for his future.
For Qin Wu and Xi Qishu, Baili Shi was not as hostile as Bai Qi, because he understood the actions of Qin Wu and Xi Qishu, but he was only surprised by such a decisive action of the two.
Bai Qi wanted to kill Qin Wu and take back the Shangdang two into four counties controlled by Qin Wu, but it was obvious that the 300,000 Zhao troops under the command of Lian Po and Zhao Hao would not give him that opportunity.
In fact, Lian Po and Zhao Hao also wanted to sit and watch the internal fighting of the Qin army, and they watched from the wall, so that they could reap the benefits of the fisherman, but according to the intelligence from the Qin State, the matter of the Qin State sending reinforcements has been put on the agenda, and the current discussion is how many reinforcements should be sent and who will lead the troops.
Qin Wu rebelled out of Qin with 15,000 Qin troops and a Qin army general, and built his own power "Wu", reading outside the vassal states, and this matter was transmitted back to Qin, which also caused a shock from the government and the opposition.
In response to this incident, the main battle faction proposed to increase the number of troops to the party, and to clean up the 300,000 Zhao troops of the party and the rebellious Qin Wu.
On the other hand, the main peace faction disagreed with the opinions of the main war faction on the grounds that the economy of Qin was about to bottom out and the people's livelihood was withering, and that it should no longer set off a major war at will and damage the national strength in vain, and suggested that the army of the Shangdang should be withdrawn to avoid the rebellion of the generals and the army. And you can also borrow the hand of Zhao to kill Qin Wu who rebelled with the army, and then if there is a chance, Qin can also reflexively attack the party and fight against the damaged Zhao army.
Compared with the hard-line main battle faction, the opinion of the main peace faction is obviously better and more rational, but everyone understands that if the troops are withdrawn at this time, it will not be so easy to send troops again next time.
Qin Wu is just a few people, 300,000 Zhao troops can't consume much strength to kill Qin Wu, and the Shangdang is also the county guard Feng Ting took the initiative to dedicate to Zhao State, which Zhao State has a reasonable advantage.
Once the Qin State withdraws its troops at this time, the next time it wants to launch a large army to take the Shangdang from the hands of the Zhao State, it will be much more difficult than now, and these ministers of the Lord and the Peace can also take advantage of the fact that the Zhao State is strong, there is no appropriate opportunity, and it is not appropriate to fight with a strong enemy to stop the sending of troops.
The people of the main battle faction understood this, so no matter how reasonable the people of the main war faction were, they would not agree to withdraw the troops.
Regarding the situation that the main battle faction and the main peace faction could not hold on, Wang Di, who came back from the party to ask for help, saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
In history, Wang Yi experienced three generations of Qin kings, and in his belief he was a veteran of Qin State, and his words had a great impact on the Qin dynasty. It took Wang Di a few days to finally persuade the Lord and the faction to agree to reinforce Shangdang, and sent an army of 100,000 troops, led by Wang Yi and Meng Ao, to rush to Shangdang to help.
Because of this, if Lian Po and Zhao Hao still want to take back Shangdang, they can't sit back and watch Qin Wu be killed by Bai Qi, they must take advantage of the fact that Qin's 100,000 reinforcements have not yet arrived, first take down a few cities, and gain a firm foothold in Shangdang.
So after giving up attacking Qincheng and Lucheng, he chose to go south and attacked Wuxiang City defended by Bai Yibing with Lian Po's general.
Within a few days, Wuxiang City fell, and Bai Yibing retreated to Yecheng with the remnants of the army.
At the same time, Lian Po led 50,000 troops, and Lecheng led 30,000 troops, and together attacked Baiqi, who commanded 60,000 Qin soldiers to defend Huguan City.
Zhao Hao, together with the generals of Dai Tuo, Zhao Ru, and Hu Yu, commanded a total of 180,000 troops, swept past Huguan City, and began to attack the Shangdang Zhucheng in the hands of the Qin army.
Lian Po and Le Cheng faced Bai Qi together, Zhao Hao found Bailishi, who was holding on to Yecheng, and all the generals of the Zhao army found their attack targets, and Qin Wu was not spared.
First, Qincheng was attacked by an army of 50,000 people, and Hu Xu, after capturing the two counties around Lucheng, commanded 30,000 troops and launched an attack on Lucheng, which Feng Quji held.
It's just that the two of them couldn't fight in the first battle, so they gave up fighting with Qin Wu, and the two merged together and went together to capture Wuxiang City, which was guarded by Bai Yibing.
After taking Tuo and Hu to lead the army away, Qin Wu came out again, reoccupied the four counties around Qincheng and Lucheng, and also sent 1,000 soldiers to garrison the four counties, in case the thieves who caused the four disasters to civilians due to the war coveted the four counties.
After taking Tuo and Hu Yu to capture Wuxiang City, they left 10,000 people to defend Wuxiang City, and at the same time guarded against Qin Wuhou not far away, so the two of them took 60,000 troops to attack the other Shangdang City.
As a result, Qin Wu, who controlled the two cities of Qin and Lu, completely became a person watching the play, Lian Po and Le Cheng fought in Baiqi, Zhao Hao fought Bailishi, and the famous generals of Zhao such as Dai Tuo, Zhao Ru, Yan Zhou, and Hu Yu each held heavy troops and launched a crazy attack on Shangdang City and County in the hands of the Qin army.
For a time, wolf smoke broke out in the land of the Shangdang, and the war did not stop. In front of the two giant countries of Zhao and Qin, the players of the party suddenly had a tragedy, they could not go out of the city to level up normally, and they could not go out of the city to do tasks. Even if you get the quest in the castle, most of them are related to battles.
But the battle outside the city is too intense, and players will be happy to see a lone boss, but they will definitely not be happy to see a large number of bosses running wild.
Many players have chosen to stay in the city to exercise their life skills because the battles during this period of time are too intense.
Of course, there are also many players who are extremely excited about the Qin-Zhao war that broke out in Shangdang, and they actively devote themselves to the war in order to earn meritorious services and exchange for high-level equipment.
Some of them are happy and some are worried, and some have earned meritorious services and exchanged for high-level equipment, but most of the players have been killed and lost equipment and experience in battle.
