Under Zhao Kuo's strong order, the state apparatus of Zhao State soon began to run at a higher speed.

And on the front line of Yingchuan County, Qin Jun obviously knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, especially when he knew that the opponent's general was very likely to be severely injured or even killed by himself, of course Wang Di would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Without the slightest stop, the 200,000 Qin troops traveled almost day and night, and finally arrived outside Xinzheng City in advance in the afternoon of the second day when Lian Po woke up.

It's just that I looked at the word "Lian" fluttering high on the city tower, as well as the energetic Zhao army soldiers, especially after seeing the old general Lian Po sitting on the city tower with white hair and beard.

Wang Yu soon realized that his plan to take advantage of his illness to kill him was going to fail.

However, Wang Yi also knew very well that Lian Po must have been injured.

Otherwise, he didn't need to appear directly in such a conspicuous position, so conspicuous that he could see him under the tower. But as long as Lian Po is not dead and can still see things, it will not be so easy for him to capture Xinzheng.

Immediately, Wang Yi also gave an order, and the army retreated and camped on the spot.

The reason is simple, this war is no longer possible to be completed by assault.

Since it was destined to be a long tug-of-war, there was no need for the troops who had just experienced a long journey to attack with their sleepy bodies.

Retreating, camping, and repairing, the Qin army withdrew almost in one go.

And Lian Po, who was on top of the city tower, also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: at least he spent another day peacefully.

After a night of calm, soon the sound of Qin Jun's whimpering horn came from outside Xinzheng City.

Yes, trimmed one

The Qin army at night did not hesitate at all, although it did not wait for the follow-up 50,000 troops to advance, but the siege equipment had already arrived at the barracks last night.

Naturally, there was no reason why Wang Di should not start the attack on Xinzheng City.

And with the sound of the Qin army's horn, the Zhao army in the city also took action.

According to the original plan, the 180,000 army was divided into four parts, of which the 150,000 army was divided into three units and stationed in the tower in turn, and the other 30,000 troops, as reserves, remained in the city to stand by and support the tower at any time.

Before long, the uniform drumbeat of the Qin army also entered the city.

The new force immediately replaced the soldiers of the Zhao army who had been guarding all night, and countless rolling wood and stones were immediately moved to the city tower, and countless hot oil and gold juice all started a fire and began to boil.

Between the smoke and fire, a thick, boundless black line finally appeared at the end of the vision of the soldiers of the Zhao army.

What a winding and endless curve!

The soldiers of Zhao who were on top of the city tower, especially the soldiers of Tuntian, suddenly felt a little cold in their hearts.

Fortunately, at the same time, the old general Lian Po was also put on the top of the city tower by his own soldiers.

For some reason, it was clear that General Lian Po was sitting there without any action to give orders, but as long as he saw General Lian Po there, the soldiers of the Zhao army felt extremely calm and confident.

This may be the meaning of the existence of the old general.

Soon, the Qin army, which had already completed the whole team, launched a fierce attack on Xinzheng City.

Of course, in the face of the impact of the Qin army, Zhao Jun did not have any panic. When Daxu shook slightly, Zhao Jun on the top of the city tower immediately went to division

He took up his post.

Suddenly, the Qin army's ladders, arrow towers and other siege equipment were unfurled.

As the drumbeat behind him gradually intensified, the speed of the Qin army gradually increased. Tens of thousands of Qin troops were divided into dozens of long dragons and slaughtered towards Xinzheng City.

At the same time, the new catapults in Xinzheng City also began to suppress the Qin army, especially the siege equipment.

Since it was the last battle, Zhao Kuo also took out all the things at the bottom of the box, the heavy cavalry, and naturally the same was true of the heavy catapult.

It's a pity that this heavy catapult is still more conducive to attack after all, to be precise, it is more suitable for fixation

The target strikes, the moving target, but it is not its specialty.

And Qin Jun obviously already knew something about this heavy catapult, although he didn't know the whole picture because of Zhao Jun's strict secrecy, but how to crack it had already been mastered by them.

The seemingly chaotic S-shaped movement path was the best weapon for the Qin army to deal with Zhao Jun's new catapult.

Sure enough, the heavy catapult, which had made great contributions in the defensive battle between the city and the city, was no longer able to play the same role as before in this operation.

But even so, it has already dealt a certain blow to the Qin army's ordnance.

It's a pity that the Qin army was obviously well prepared, and the smashed equipment was quickly dragged away, and the replenished equipment set off from the camp almost instantly.

Obviously, in the long-range battle, the two armies almost fought to a draw, and the battle soon spread to the mid- and long-range engagement range of the bow and crossbow.

On Xinzheng City, with the sound of drums, teams of crossbowmen were also lined up.

The red flag rolls over

Suddenly, the arrows that covered the sky and the sun had already shot out, and they fell like raindrops in the Qin army's formation.

The wails flowed to the ground with the blood in an instant.

It's just that such casualties can't stop the Qin army's offensive at all.

Without any pause, the follow-up team of the Qin army immediately filled the vacancy and continued to think about Xinzheng launching an attack.

Finally, despite the huge casualties, the Qin army still advanced to an area only more than 100 steps away from the city wall, and the arrow towers immediately stopped, and a group of Qin army's archers and soldiers quickly climbed the arrow towers under the command of their respective captains and commanders.

Immediately, the arrows of the Qin army finally shot at the head of Xinzheng. Immediately, the Zhao army also began to suffer casualties.

However, like the Qin army, when one Zhao army fell, another Zhao soldier immediately filled the vacancy, not giving the Qin army any chance at all.

It was only because of the countermeasures of the Qin army's arrow tower that some of the Zhao army's archers had no choice but to adjust their direction and began to suppress the Qin army's arrow tower attack.

Taking advantage of the gap between the arrow tower and the pressure to share, the foot soldiers of the Qin army also gritted their teeth, and rushed forward with great courage and courage to break under the city wall.

Almost instantly, countless rolling logs and stones accompanied by boiling gold juice smashed fiercely towards the Qin army under the city wall.

Wails resounded throughout the battlefield once again.

It's just that such casualties still failed to shake half of the Qin army, and the fierce attack continued.

With the crisp sound of "popping", ladders were erected on top of the city.

In an instant, a group of Qin troops had already stepped on the cloud ladder and charged thinking about the city.

It's a pity that halfway through, sharp arrows will kill him

Even if they rushed up a few steps with their shields, they quickly fell down the ladder under the stabbing of Zhao Jun's spear.

And with the sound of "Zila", cans of hot oil had already been poured on the soldiers of the Qin army and the cloud ladder.

Immediately after, a rocket streaked across the sky, and the entire ladder and the dozen or so people on it all turned into a pile of flames.

Without the slightest hesitation, without waiting for those burning men to turn their heads and rush towards the friendly forces, the arrows from the Qin army's front had already sent them away.

"Compassion is not in charge of the soldiers" is vividly reflected at this moment.

Of course, at the same time, the elite of the Qin army also performed vividly in this decisive blow.

There was no need to urge, and no one even took a second look at the still burning ladder and comrades, another team of Qin troops had already stood on the new ladder and launched another attack towards the towering city tower.

The Qin army, which was bound to win, was like the tide in the sea, and it flocked to the city tower tirelessly one after another.

It was a truly tragic battle, with the roars and wails of the soldiers of both armies intertwined with the sonorous sound of their weapons.

However, in just half an hour's effort, under the city of Xinzheng, it has already become a corpse all over the field, and the Qin soldiers who died in battle fell in a pool of blood, red blood

It even dyed the entire city wall red, and the thick smell of blood almost filled the entire Xinzheng City.

There is no way, the soldiers on both sides have received death orders, and the countries on both sides have already stood on the edge of the cliff.

If you advance, you will win, and if you retreat, you will die.

As a result, both Zhao and Qin showed their 100 percent, or even 200 percent, combat power

。

At this point, the casualties are just a string of numbers.

Even, the commanders of both sides didn't even want to look at this number.

Position is their only concern.

In the fierce battle, the old general Lian Po was like an immovable mountain, standing quietly on the city tower, like a reef in the stormy waves, silently watching everything on the battlefield.

The slightly pale face also became a little ruddy because of the bloody scene of the sword and sword shadow, and between a pair of tiger eyes, it was unprecedented peace, as if the Qin army in front of him was attacking fiercely like that local chicken and dog, and it couldn't shake the Xinzheng he was guarding at all.

Perhaps because of the old general's calmness and self-confidence, it deeply affected the Zhao army in defense.

In the face of the Qin army's almost crazy attack, the Zhao army still defended in a disciplined manner, and did not give the Qin army any opportunity to take advantage of at all.

Half a day passed, and the Qin army, which had paid the price of thousands of people, did not even have the opportunity to climb the city tower a few times.

However, Wang Yi also expected this result.

If this Xinzheng City can be broken through so easily, then Lian Po will not be able to become his old opponent.

But as just said, this war almost determined the future direction of the Warring States, and the Qin State had already invested too much in this war.

Despite the heavy losses, Wang Ji could not stop for a moment.

He must pretend to take Xinzheng City at all costs before the Zhao army can complete the assembly, otherwise it will not be enough to attract more troops from the Zhao army to Yingchuan, and his own followers will lose their power.

Of course, if it can be true

Taking advantage of Lian Po's injury to take Xinzheng is also completely acceptable to Qin State.

It can be said that with the accidental serious injury of General Lian Po, the battlefield situation at this time has gradually shifted to the Qin State.

As long as the Qin State continues to hold on, no matter whether it can take Xinzheng in the end or not, the initiative on the battlefield will be firmly in the hands of the Qin army.

Of course, Zhao Guo will not sit idly by......
