Chapter 243: Creating a Force—Martial!
As a result of the capture of Lucheng and Luxian without a single soldier, the number of the Qin army was not reduced, but became 21,000 due to the addition of 6,000 Korean troops.
Leaving 5,000 people to defend the city, Qin Wu and Xiqishu brought 16,000 people to attack Qincheng, 1,000 more than when they came, and there was no reduction of one person because they had to divide their troops to defend Lucheng and Luxian.
Because of the idea of occupying the whole of Korea and establishing a new country, Qin Wu did not blindly attack, but supplemented by attack and persuasion, and only sacrificed a small number of soldiers to capture Qinxian, Changzhi County, Wuxiang County and Qincheng.
In just four days, two of the seven cities and seventeen counties of Shangdang fell into the hands of Qin Wu.
In addition, Bai Yibing captured a city and two counties, and Bai Qi commanded 100,000 troops to divide into two routes, and conquered three into six counties in one go. In just three days, Shangdang was left with only the city of Shangdang guarded by Feng Ting, and the five counties behind him continued to hold on, waiting for reinforcements from Zhao State.
Four days later, the armies of Qin Wu, Bai Qi, and Bai Yibing met outside Shangdang, and then together launched a furious attack on Shangdang, which had only 20,000 soldiers to defend. However, Shangdang is a county town, the city is high and the walls are thick, it is not so easy to defeat at all, and the 150,000 army besieged Shangdang for two days, and finally failed to capture Shangdang, so Feng Ting waited for the 300,000 Zhao reinforcements led by Lian Po and Zhao Hao.
The 150,000 Qin troops retreated like a tide, and the 300,000 Zhao troops rushed to the outside of Shangdang City, looking tired, Feng Ting, whose armor was damaged in many places, personally led the civil and military officials of Shangdang City who did not survive to go out of the city to greet Lian Po and Zhao Hao.
"Feng Junshou, it's hard work."
Looking at the tattered Shangdang City, which was full of corpses and rivers of blood, and the city walls were full of arrows, and the civil and military officials of Shangdang City who were all wounded in front of them and were wearing a white cloth stained with blood on their backs, feeling the fierceness of the battle in the past few days, the veteran Lian Po took a deep breath, and then said solemnly.
"This is the seal of the Shangdang City Lord."
Sighing lightly, Feng Ting took out the fist-sized City Lord Seal from his arms, with a solemn expression, and handed it to Lian Po with both hands.
After receiving the seal, Lian Po read out the order of King Wuling of Zhao, sealing Feng Ting as the king of Huayang and removing him from the position of county guard of the party. For the remaining five counties, King Zhao promoted them to the marquis of Zhao, and did not remove them from the position of county magistrate, but gave them 1,000 households, and the civil and military officials of Shangdang City and the five counties were all given three ranks.
"I can't bear to sell the land of the country and make it my own!"
Hearing the order of King Zhao read out by Lian Po, Feng Ting sighed, gave up King Zhao's reward, and then left Shangdang with a group of cronies and retinue, heading east towards Korea.
Regarding Feng Ting's departure, although Lian Po and Zhao Hao retained, they did not succeed.
After Zhao State took over Shangdang City and the five counties, while Qin State had not yet sent reinforcements, Lian Po and Zhao Haobing divided into two routes, each leading 130,000 people to attack the Qin army occupying Shangdang City, and the 40,000 Zhao soldiers who stayed in Shangdang were settling the people, repairing Shangdang City, and protecting the logistics of Zhao's 300,000 army, so as not to let the 260,000 Zhao troops who were attacking the city in front of them run out of food.
"The opportunity has finally come."
Standing on the head of Qincheng, looking at the 50,000 Zhao soldiers who were rushing towards this side in the distance, and behind them stood the two generals Xi Qishu and Feng Zheng, Qin Wu showed a smile on his face.
At a secret meeting in the Lucheng City Lord's Mansion four days ago, Qin Wu finally persuaded Xi Qishu to join him in the uprising, and declared his allegiance to Qin Wu.
Between being a high-ranking wage earner in the Qin army, and establishing a new country, being the minister of statehood, and the manager of the country, Xi Qishu chose the latter and jumped from Qin Mugong to Qin Wu.
Western Beggar B-level Historical Commander 75, Armed Forces 88, Intelligence 45, Politics 44, Charismatic Stunt: Pro-Rong - The city will attract Rong people to join, and reduce the possibility of Rong people rebelling and attacking Surname: Reckless Affection: Low Ambition: Medium Dear General: Bai Yibing Dislikes General: Wu Ge Soldier A Cavalry A Archer Loyalty:
In addition to the high force, the rest of the Western beggar is pitiful, its intelligence is only 45, and the charm of 35 is even lower, but its superb martial arts, as a second-rate general, is fully qualified.
Bringing up the system panel, Qin Wu chose to quit the Qin army, and then chose to create a faction.
According to Qingqiu's prompt, as long as they or their subordinates have generals, players can create their own forces and then start to conquer the Faith Continent.
"System prompt: Player Qin Wu creates his own faction, please name the faction ......"
A crisp system prompt sounds.
"Wu!"
Qin Wudao.
"Successfully created, the name of the force - Wu, now has 4 generals, two cities, 30,000 troops, 7,000 gold, 50,000 stones."
The system prompts.
As the system prompt fell, the black flag with the word Qin written on the head of the city suddenly turned into a red flag with the word Wu written on it.
The changes in the banners everywhere in the city not only stunned all the Qin soldiers, but even the belt Tuo who led the 50,000 Zhao troops outside the city was also stunned.
What kind of international joke, wasn't this city from the Qin State just now? Why did the flag change in a blink of an eye, the difficulty is that the Koreans in Qincheng recaptured the city by sending it to the Qin people?
There are not many deeds in history, but Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin" puts him on a par with Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Zhao Hao, Tian Ji, Lian Po, etc., and is only ranked below Sun Bin, which shows his interests.
In faith, he is also a member of the A-level historical generals, with a command of 90+, but no matter how high the command is, when he saw Qincheng suddenly change his flag, he was also in the past.
"Wu!?"
Approaching Qincheng with a large army, looking at the red flags of martial arts planted everywhere on the city's head, he frowned, and couldn't think of any such force at all.
Doubts are doubts, his task is to recover all the land of the cities and counties of Shangdang, whether Qincheng is planted with a black Qin flag or a red martial flag, he must capture Qincheng.
The soldiers surrounded Qincheng in three ways, set up a stronghold outside the city, and took 20,000 Zhao soldiers to attack the north gate of Qincheng, set up a large attack base outside the north gate, and shrouded the north wall of Qincheng in the influence of the large attack base.
"I am the general of Pingbei and the Tuo, I don't know why there is a big flag of martial arts on the city?"
When he walked to a place a hundred meters away from the city wall, he stopped, and asked loudly.
"Ignore him."
Regarding Dai Tuo's question, Qin Wu smiled lightly and ignored it.
continued to shout loudly, and even threatened to immediately launch a large army to attack the city, but he didn't get a response, and returned to the Zhao army's big array with a frown, obviously full of questions about the current Qincheng.
"Attack! Test the reality of the other party. ”
Qin Wu did not make contact with Dai Tuo at all, and the depressed Dai Tuo could only launch an attack and speak with his strength.
The 50,000 Zhao army began to attack the tentative surname, because of this rapid march, the Zhao army did not carry large siege equipment such as catapults, so only a few thousand Zhao soldiers pushed the ladder towards Qincheng, and thousands of archers were behind them, ready to shoot at the archers on the city wall, and suppress the enemy on the city wall, creating opportunities for their infantry to climb the city.
"Archery!"
Qin Wu shouted, and thousands of Wu army archers converted from Qin army archers on the city raised their longbows in unison, and then threw a dense rain of arrows towards the Zhao soldier phalanx not far away.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
Thousands of iron swords covered the sky and fell into the Zhao soldiers' array like flying locusts, and nearly a hundred Zhao soldiers were hit by several arrows and fell to the ground.
Among them, the Zhao soldiers pushing the ladder were attacked the most by the rain of arrows, not only the tall ladder was filled with dense iron arrows, but most of the Zhao soldiers pushing the ladder were hit by arrows. The hundred ladders in the first wave of siege, because of the attack of flying arrows, five or six ladders fell forward or backward at once because of too many casualties of Zhao soldiers.
The ladder that fell forward was okay, and everyone was able to lift it up again and continue to push forward, while the ladder that fell backwards caused many casualties to the Zhao soldiers advancing behind.
"Archery!"
Qin Wu shouted again.
The archers who had just shot the iron arrows hurriedly retreated back, while another row of archers stood up and released the iron arrows on the strings to the Qin soldiers advancing towards Qincheng in the distance, and this time there were dozens or nearly a hundred casualties of Zhao soldiers.
"Archery!"
This time it was finally Dai Tuo's turn to shout, and the archers of the Zhao army on the plain finally entered the range of projectiles, and when Dai Tuo gave an order, thousands of Zhao army archers immediately began to pour arrow rain towards the city.
Under the suppression of the Zhao army's archers, the warriors on the head of Qincheng City finally began to suffer casualties, so Qin Wu decisively ordered the archers to give up suppressing the Zhao soldiers who were pushing the ladder forward, and instead focused the attack on the Zhao army's archers.
With the advantage of being condescending on the city wall, and the number of archers in the Zhao army entering the firing range at this time was not large, the Wu army archers poured all their firepower on the Zhao army's archers, and immediately suppressed the enemy's archers.
"Set up a ladder!"
He smiled coldly, didn't care about the casualties of the Zhao army's archers, and shouted loudly.
Without the suppression of the archers on the city wall, the infantry of the Zhao army safely pushed the ladder full of iron arrows and erected it on the head of Qincheng.
Bang!
Before they had time to cheer, there was a loud bang, and the ground seemed to suddenly collapse, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers and dozens of ladders were trapped.
"Humph! Am I going to make it so easy for you to take the city? ”
Looking at the mourning of the Zhao soldiers under the city, there was no cloud ladder that was successfully erected on the head of Qincheng City, and at the same time, looking at the Zhao army archers who were suppressed by the Wu army's archers, Qin Wu smiled coldly.
Whew!
A flying arrow shot towards Qin Wubiao, Qin Wu snorted lightly, and the probe firmly grasped it in his hand, looking at the belt that shot this arrow, Qin Wu showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and threw the iron arrow down the city at will, piercing a Zhao soldier, making him fall to the ground.
No matter what kind of famous general you are, it won't be so easy to capture my city.
