Not far from the hot springs, a small black liquid lake was about ten square meters, and Charlotte was overjoyed when she saw it.

This is a good thing, although people in the Warring States period did not know this pungent smell of oil, but Charlotch did.

Upon closer inspection, Charlotte found that the source of the lake's oil was actually a crack in the cliff not far to the right, seeping out and flowing into the depression to converge.

Without any further delay, Charlotte pulled Wei Xiaoyun back quickly.

When he returned to Fencheng, he didn't say a word, so he asked Sun Ba to lead fifty people up the mountain, each carrying a wooden barrel sealed with tung oil, one meter high and one meter five in diameter.

When they came to the small lake of black oil, Charlotchi asked Sun Ba and other fifty people to fill each bucket, cover it with wooden planks, and transport it back.

"Do not go near the fire, and arrange them along the walls. ”

Charlotte saw that fifty people had not been able to finish extracting this small oil lake, and knew that there must be a lot of oil in this area.

Let Sun Ba bring another hundred people to pick up the transport.

After nearly 500 barrels of oil were mined and transported for most of the day, the small oil lake dried up temporarily.

Charlotte moved all the copper tripods used for drinking in Fencheng to the east gate, north gate, and south gate and lined them up one by one, and poured the oil into it.

As twilight fell, a sentry scout galloped in the distance outside the east gate.

"Report!"

The sentry doppelganger dismounted, fell to one knee on the ground, and said urgently:

"Thirty miles ahead, the Qin army's vanguard has arrived. ”

Charlotte waved him down to rest.

led Sun Ba, Zhao Si and others to the city to overlook.

Sure enough, there was a faint black flag flickering and fluttering between the valley paths.

"Hehe, it's so punctual!"

Charlotte immediately ordered Sikong Yan to lead his soldiers and other cities to prepare to meet the enemy.

Hundreds of crossbows rattled at the east gate, and huge arrows were wound, one for five, and three others were responsible for carrying the arrow clusters.

The rolling wood and stones that have been urgently made in the past few days on the east gate have already been stacked, and they are divided into three echelons.

The open space of the inner city is full of rolling logs and stones, and then the platform of the staircase to the city is also full of piles, and then there is the head of the city.

Clusters of arrows in the warehouse are also piled up under the inner city roots.

The east gate had been sealed by a large wooden support, and thick iron bars had been added at Charlotte's behest.

Earthwork is naturally indispensable, and the city gate hole is directly filled.

If the enemy wants to enter the city, he can only climb over the wall.

The forward of the Qin soldiers is naturally cavalry, and the Qin cavalry is divided into three types, the cavalry of the sentry battalion is responsible for waiting for news, and the cavalry of the charging battalion is divided into two kinds, one is the ordinary cavalry, which is configured as a crossbow, Qin armor, and long sword, with thirty pots of arrows per person and ten pots per person;

The other is the special warfare cavalry, they are high-end configurations, crossbows, crossbows, heavy armor, long swords, fifty pots of arrows per person, ten pots of each.

The infantry was behind, followed by the sharp soldiers, then the fighting, and then the auxiliaries.

The overall structure of the Qin army was relatively simple, and most of them were the front, middle, and rear armies.

The Six Kingdoms fought against Qin, and they were often crushed if they could not hold the charge of the front army.

Therefore, the forward battalion of the Qin army was the strongest.

Of course, the rear army is equipped with heavily armored infantry, which is mainly used for the rear of the palace, and the soldiers are generally tall and powerful, and the durability is strong.

Wang Yi's siege of Handan failed, and he took the initiative to retreat.

The combined forces of Wei, Chu, Han and Zhao did not immediately pursue.

Zheng Anyu's troops were besieged and surrendered, and the coalition forces needed to digest the results of the battle.

At that time, the city of Handan was almost running out of ammunition and food, and logistics supplies were continuously transported into the city to relieve the crisis.

And many other problems in dealing with the aftermath must be solved immediately.

The supply of grain and grass for the 80,000 northern army of Jin led by Xinlingjun has also become a problem at this moment, and for this reason, it is necessary to wait for the support sent by the king of Wei.

The soldiers of the Chu State are strong and strong, the grain and grass are abundant, and the rescue of the trapped people in Handan is mostly dependent on the Chu State, which makes Xinlingjun a little faceless.

But soon, good news came from the city of Daliang.

The king of Wei sent the general Meng Da to transport grain and grass.

Meng Da is a disciple of the Guigu School, serving as the general of the left army in the court, and his brother Meng Xian is a disciple of Xinlingjun, so the intention of the King of Wei to send Meng Da over is to let Xinlingjun let go of it, and he fully supports it in the back.

King Wei has been in a good mood recently, which has a lot to do with the wooden rocking chair and Simmons that Charlotch specially and secretly offered.

King Wei, who was originally jealous of Xinlingjun, now feels that it is not bad to have Xinlingjun in charge of a bad thing outside, and he is really happy to be drunk and dream of death in the harem.

Ai Concubine Ruyi is naturally even more diligent, and she has brought the King of Wei to the clouds.

Xinling Jun saw the arrival of a large number of grain and grass supplies transported by Mengda, and his spirit was lifted.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, had already praised the benevolence, righteousness and heroism of Xinling Jun to the horizon.

King Zhao immediately gave Xinlingjun a fief "Shangyu", but Xinlingjun refused to grant it.

Later, he couldn't put it off, so he agreed for Charlotte.

King Zhao heard that the Acropolis Xiaoxia Gongzi had made a lot of contributions to the relief of the siege of Handan, and he was also grateful in his heart.

This "Shangyu" land fell into the name of Charlotte, who was far away in Fencheng.

On the third day of the siege of Handan, Jing Wuji arrived quickly and secretly informed Xinlingjun of Charlotte's whereabouts and plans.

Xinlingjun didn't stop for a moment, let Jing Wuji rest, and hurriedly entered the palace to see King Zhao and Pingyuan Jun.

Handan City is divided into five parts, there is a palace city in the big city, and there are three small cities outside the big city facing each other.

Wang Yi, Zheng Anyu and others attacked for several months and did not take Handan, which had a lot to do with the auxiliary attack and defense of the three small cities.

"Mowgli, what's the matter in such a hurry?"

Zhao Shengzheng, the king of the plains, was drinking with Qu Beggar, the commander of the Chu army, and the king of Zhao knelt behind the wooden couch in the south, and saw that Xinlingjun was about to walk in, and his face was also different.

"Oh, everyone is here, in this way, my junior brother, yes, that is, the Acropolis Xiaoxia Gongzi has led 70,000 troops to capture Qin Zhifen City at this time, choking the retreat of Wang Di's army. ”

"He sent a message to him, saying that if our coalition forces cover up and kill from behind, we can take the Hangu Pass of Western Qin in one fell swoop, and then advance westward and go straight into the hinterland of Guanzhong, so that the Western Qin, who has repeatedly bullied us, will not be able to take care of itself. ”

As soon as Xin Lingjun's words fell, King Zhao suddenly sat up straight and said loudly:

"Really?"

"The Acropolis Xiao Xia Gongzi led the strange soldiers to cut off the Qin army's return route?"

Immediately ordered the eunuch behind him to take the map, and four or five eunuchs carried the large copperplate map from the side room, and King Zhao, Pingyuanjun and others immediately surrounded it.

Qu Qi was familiar with the army, and he was naturally familiar with the map, and immediately found the inconspicuous location of Fencheng with a finger, located in the throat of the northern province of the Central Plains in the eastern part of the Guandong.

It is about 500 miles away from Handan.

Pingyuan Jun looked at Xinling Jun, then at Qu Beggar, and was about to speak, when King Zhao suddenly spoke:

"Xiao Xia Gongzi is so full of guts, how did he succeed in taking that Fencheng?"

"He's so talented!"

King Zhao stretched out his arms, as if to hug Charlotte in the distance.

"King, this Acropolis Xiaoxia Gongzi is our Zhao people!"

Pingyuan-kun said with a smile.

"Oh, Zhao Ren?"

King Zhao's eyes were blazing, and he looked very face-saving.

"The Qin army killed more than 400,000 of my soldiers, this revenge is not the work of the gentleman, I am willing to hand over all the remaining treasures in the treasury to Xinling Jun, can I cooperate with Xiao Xia Gongzi to lead the army to intercept and kill Wang Di's army?"

"If it succeeds, one-third of the taxes paid by my Zhao State for the next three years will go to the countries participating in the war. ”

As soon as King Zhao's words came out, Chu Jiang Qu immediately hugged his fists and said:

"I am willing to obey the dispatch of Prince Xinling, such an opportunity is too rare. ”

Pingyuan Jun pushed the letter Ling Jun with his hand and said:

"Hey, I ask you, the commander of the coalition forces. ”

Seeing that King Zhao had expressed his position, and the coalition forces of all parties had no objections, Xinling Jun immediately raised his head and said:

"Okay, let's chase him for thousands of miles according to Xiao Xia's intentions!"
