Chapter 175: Salute before Soldiers

"Where is the genre now?"

Qingji asked.

"Returning to the king, the literature is still in Wandi. If the king is willing to reuse him and make the best use of his talents, I believe that the literature will be able to hang the seal and go, and move his family to Wu to serve the king! ”

For this, Qingji will not doubt it at all.

After all, all the literary genres in history can defect to a country that is almost in decline, so why wouldn't it contribute to the thriving and thriving state of Wu?

Although it is easy to put the icing on the cake, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

But Wen Chong defected to Wu at this time, and he still did not lose the position of Jiuqing!

Qingji thought to himself for a while, and said, "Young uncle, you reply to the language." If he is willing to enter Wu and work for the widow, the position of the left prime minister will be vacant! ”

"The king is wise!"

The position of Prime Minister Zuo is equivalent to that of Jiuqing, only under the three dukes, which can be described as a high authority.

Qingji can take out such an official position to give it to the literary species, which shows his love for talent!

……

Outside the city.

"Knock knock!"

The dull and slightly depressing sound of cowhide war drums resounded in the sky.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

On a field of wilderness, the soldiers of the Wu army wearing crimson battle clothes walked in unison steps, forming a huge phalanx.

The flag covers the sky, and the spear is like a forest!

The warriors of the various Huaiyi tribes, dressed in various colors and holding a variety of weapons in their hands, are surging like a tide, and the momentum is very terrifying!

This time, in order to completely destroy the Han State and pull out the "nail household" on the land of Jianghuai, Qingji dispatched a full 5,000 soldiers of the Wu army.

At the same time, there are more than 10,000 Huaiyi warriors to help!

Compared with the mighty Wu army, the Han army is much more shabby.

The whole country of Han has a population of only 30,000, and the number of troops that can be dispatched is even smaller!

Even if King Han counted the sturdy women, how much power could he use?

Having said that, looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, Qingji's heart couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

Hancheng is undoubtedly a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Otherwise, Han Guo would never be able to stand tall and remain independent under the strong blows of the Wu army for decades.

Qingji knows that this war is a tough battle, but it has to be fought!

After this battle, Wu Guojiang has no worries and will do his best to develop people's livelihood and accumulate national strength.

At this time, Qing Ji, who was standing on the top of the chariot, waved his hand, followed the soldiers on the side, and immediately drove forward, and shouted loudly under the city, outside the range of arrows: "King Han can be?" ”

"My king wants to meet with the king of Han!"

"Take!"

Before the soldier could finish speaking, an arrow flew out and stuck in the side of the horse's hoof.

The meaning of Handang is already very obvious, that is, to fight to the death and not give in!

For Han Dang, either the country is ruined, or Qingji retreats, there is no third way to go!

Let the Han State submit to the Wu State, bow down to the Wu State, or simply keep the temple sacrifice as if it was destroyed.

It's worse than killing Handang!

Seeing this, Qingji is not polite, anyway, he has already saluted first and then soldiered, and if he is not interested in, if he seeks his own death, it is no wonder that Qingji is not happy.

With a "swish", Qingji pulled out the Longyuan sword at his waist, pointed at Hancheng opposite, and said loudly: "Attack!" ”

As the dense war drums sounded, the soldiers of the Wu army, who had been holding their breath for a long time, immediately rushed to the opposite city wall like a tide.

Then, the Huaiyi warriors were also like hungry wolves screaming, flying towards Hancheng.

"Shoot the arrows!"

After the Wu army entered the range of the bow and arrow, Han Lang waved his hand and ordered the arrow to be released.

Round after round of dense rain of arrows like locusts crossing the border were suddenly thrown out, "swishing" and falling on the heads of the soldiers of the Wu army.

The soldier who had been prepared for a long time could only raise his shield to block, which was too unlucky, and the soldier who couldn't stop was after being hit by an arrow, wailing and falling to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Wu army set up a ladder and rushed to Hancheng without fear of death with an indomitable momentum.

"Poof!"

"Ahhhh

There were already quite a few Wu soldiers climbing along the ladder, ready to climb to the top of the city.

It's a pity that the Han soldiers who defend the city are not vegetarians.

Under the command of Han Dang, in addition to arrows, stones, rolling wood, hot oil, etc., everything that can cause damage to the enemy, the Han army used them one by one!

"Straight lady thief, die to Lao Tzu!"

"Wow!"

A soldier who climbed to the top of the city fought bloodily, and even though he was blind in one eye, he still slashed the enemy with his sword.

The combat effectiveness of the Wu army is very strong.

In a one-on-one situation, it is often the soldiers on the Wu army's side who have the upper hand!

And the Huaiyi people who fought with the siege were also very brave.

One-on-one heads-up, they have never been afraid of anyone!

Having said that, the soldiers on the Han army's side are not weak at all.

Even with the bonus of faith in defending their home and country, they can burst out with amazing combat power and fly down the enemies who have climbed to the top of the city one by one!

With a "swish", Han Dang swung his sword and cut off the head of an enemy, staining his robe with blood.

Han Dang's bravery, and going to the front line to fight in person, undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Han army, and added a lot of resistance to the siege of the Wu army!

The fierce offensive and defensive battles lasted from early morning to late evening, at sunset.

Qingji looked at the mountains of corpses piled up above and below the city, and the scene of rivers of blood flowing, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In siege warfare, it is undoubtedly the attacking side that suffered the most casualties.

If it weren't for the last resort, Qingji would never want to capture Hancheng and destroy Hanguo in this way!

At this time, Qingji suddenly remembered a siege machine like a trebuchet.

At this time, trebuchets had not yet been invented, and if Qingji could make a large number of trebuchets, it would definitely greatly reduce the resistance of the Wu army when attacking the city.

It's a pity that Qingji didn't think of this earlier.

Moreover, at this time, the trebuchet was invented, and it may not be Wu Guo who took advantage.

Because Qingji planned to destroy the Han Kingdom, he would concentrate all his forces to develop the national strength, and if there was no foreign war, the trebuchet would be useless.

And once Wu made a trebuchet, it would inevitably be imitated by other countries, and then after Wu changed the law, the war situation it would face would be much more severe.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Hancheng could not be attacked for the time being, so Qingji could only wave his hand and come down to Mingjin to collect his troops.

The soldiers of the Wu army and the Huaiyi people who heard the horn of the withdrawal couldn't help but feel like they had been amnestied, and hurriedly retreated like a tide, leaving only hundreds of corpses.

Seeing that the enemy army had retreated, the soldiers of the Han army at the head of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Wu army suffered heavy casualties, and the Han army was also uncomfortable!

As the saying goes, if you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, if it weren't for the rather strong walls of Hancheng, I'm afraid that the Han army would have been defeated.
