Zhang Ji's face gradually became solemn, and Li Xin on the side was a little eager to try.

"Whatever he does, you'll know with a dozen."

Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment and agreed with Li Xin's point of view.

It's useless to just guess, there is a puddle on the road in front of you, you can't get around, so if you don't test the depth of the water, will you stop there and not move forward?

But Zhang Ji did not intend to hand over the task of attacking the city to Li Xin.

Li Xin is indeed handsome, but his combat style is swift and rigid, and his battlefield intuition is very sensitive, which is extremely similar to the combat style of the champion Hou in later generations.

This kind of general is suitable for fighting the kind of enemy who is straight to the point, and if he encounters a trick, he may also rush into it.

Zhang Ji's gaze swept among the generals behind him, and finally fell on the most low-key person.

"Yang Wengzi, the north gate is handed over to you."

"Huh?"

Yang Wengzi, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and hugged his fists to lead his life.

It's just that Yang Wengzi didn't understand why Zhang Ji wanted his general.

In the Yulin army, except for Qiang and Wang Ben, they are all concentrated in this handsome tent, not to mention the commander of the dead soldier battalion named Teng, who is the general's henchman, how could he leave this kind of thing to himself?

Li Xin looked at Zhang Ji pitifully, meaning that since Yang Wengzi was unwilling, it was better to let him do it for him, but he was kicked away by Zhang Ji.

Yang Wengzi's personality is very similar to that of his father Yang Duanhe.

Although Yang Duanhe was also a veteran of the Four Dynasties, he was quite used since the time of King Zhaoxiang, but his position in the military was never allowed to enter the top three.

Needless to say, Wu Anjun Bai Qi was there, at that time, the Qin State was star-studded, and in the post-Wu Anjun era, the military was headed by the clan general Yingyi, Wang Qi and Meng Wei were deputies, and Yang Duanhe and Gong Qi lived behind the three.

During the reign of King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang, Yingyi died of illness, Wang Qi, Meng Fu and Duke Qi ranked in the top three, and Yang Duanhe still maintained the fourth position.

Now that Duke Qi is old, the third position was replaced by Wang Qian, who came later, and Yang Duanhe still maintained the fourth.

But Yang Duanhe never complained, or sharp-eyed people will find that this old general with far more qualifications and military exploits than Wang Jian does not seem to care about the position of the military triumvirate, and even after Ying Zheng expressed his support for Yang Duanhe, Yang Duanhe directly closed the door to raise the army, and it seems that he has no intention of the position of the military triumvirate.

Don't look at Yang Duanhe, who has never become a military triumvirate and does not have the rank of general, but Yang Duanhe is the deputy general that the three generals of the Qin State like to bring when they send troops.

The biggest reason is that Yang Duanhe is low-key!

For example, Wang Qi, Meng Fu and Qi Gong led the troops, and as the robe of the same deputy general of Wu Anjun back then, he naturally knew Yang Duanhe's ability.

Yang Duanhe is very stable and has a calm personality, no matter who leads the troops, he can hand over his rear or grain road to Yang Duanhe with peace of mind.

When leading the troops to fight, Yang Duanhe never stole the limelight of the main general, and even gave some of the first and great merits at his fingertips to the commander, and only took the second merit himself.

A person who can lead an army in the Qin State will not be too bad in character at least, even if he is a commander with bad character, he will not offend this old general with old qualifications, strong ability, high military achievements, and wide connections.

In the face of Yang Duanhe's repeated concessions, it is impossible for a cheeky person to be indifferent, so every time Yang Duanhe serves as a deputy general, then the first one is often the coach, and the second is Yang Duanhe.

Zhang Ji once asked Yang Duanhe if it was worth it?

Yang Duanhe's answer was: "Hehe, you young people only saw that the old man had lost his first work, but he didn't notice that those robes and zee would have the old man as the deputy general when they went out to fight. ”

"The old man lost his first work, but in exchange for more opportunities to go on the expedition."

"A head function is worth two or even three times of success, but the old man has more opportunities to go out and more times because of the first work, not only to maintain the connections in the army, but also to get more combat merits, the key is that they all have to thank the old man, thinking of the old man's good, why not?"

Although Yang Wengzi is the son of Yang Duan and Lao Lai, he was not spoiled, but was taught more strictly, for fear that he did not cultivate this son who was born with great difficulty, so Yang Wengzi was taught by Yang Duanhe himself, and his ability to lead troops also exceeded that of the second generation of ordinary generals, and his personality was the same as Yang Duanhe, and even more calm than Yang Duanhe.

Yang Wengzi, who does not fight or rob and is extremely stable, is often the preferred general when Wang Ben, Tu Sui, Ren Huan and others lead the troops out, so Zhang Ji ordered Yang Wengzi's general this time.

There are obviously some problems with the Han army in the city, and if you let a person with a calm personality like Yang Wengzi go, the losses will be minimized.

Ximen was handed over to Su Jiao by Zhang Ji.

Although Su Jiao is not as calm as Yang Duanhe, as the captain of the scout battalion, he is as careful as a hair and will not let go of any detail on the battlefield, Zhang Ji believes that Su Jiao can properly deal with potential crises.

The south gate and the east gate were Tu Sui's partial division, and Tu Sui handed over these two gates to the equally calm Ren Huan and Huan Qi, who were in the limelight these days.

The Qin army besieging the city on all sides began to rush towards the city under the orders of war drums and officers at all levels, and the dense Qin army was uniformly dressed in black armor, quite a bit of a black cloud overwhelming the city and wanting to destroy it.

"The Art of War" cloud: "The upper army is to attack and plan, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city." ”

No matter what era it is, the most brutal war is siege warfare, because there are not many means to use when attacking a city, so you can only attack the city by ants.

Yes, ant-attached.

The famous generals of the soldiers used the word "ant" to describe the siege because the soldiers climbed up like ants, and then were beaten down by the enemy like pinched ants.

Even if Sun Wu and Wu Qi faced a strong city, most of the time they had nothing to do but attack the city. Just like the Northern Expedition of a certain Zhuge Wuhou in later generations, the 100,000 army was also intercepted by a Chencang City, and was never allowed to enter the siege city under the ant annex with the cooperation of many siege equipment, and finally had to quit the army.

The morale of the Qin army was very strong, and the soldiers besieging the city rushed quickly, but they did not go beyond their respective Wu, Shi, Tun and other formations, and the seemingly dense Qin army actually maintained a certain interval, which would not cause the Han army to shoot an arrow with their eyes closed casually.

This is also one of the few places where the ants can do something when attacking the city, maintaining a good interval, as well as the distance between soldiers and siege equipment, and reasonably distributing the number of soldiers and siege equipment under the city during each wave of siege.

Yang Wengzi, Su Jiao, Ren Huan and Huan Qi have all done a good job in this regard, although each person's density and number of soldiers and the deployment of equipment are slightly different with their personal military style, but overall there is no problem.

Now, with the cooperation between the Qin army and the Mo family, the manufacturing cost of siege equipment is becoming cheaper and cheaper, even if it is out of caution and does not go all out to attack the city, everyone has also transferred more than 30 siege ladders and chases in the first wave of siege.

Round, four-wheeled car, row of large wood for it, covered with raw cowhide, can accommodate ten people below, back and forth to transport soil and fill the trench, wood and stone can not be injured.

Of course, the construction of these siege ladders and stools is also thanks to Ji Wuye.

The reason why Qin Jun was able to spend so much money was also because of the more than 100,000 gold copied from the nightfall.

And seeing that their own commander had brought in so many siege ladders and ramblings, these soldiers were also relieved.

They are brave and warlike, but who wants to lie on this blood-stained land and never wake up?

The more siege ladders and rams, the safer it is for the siege soldiers.

The person in charge of commanding each siege ladder was at least a low-ranking officer of the "Five Doctors", and at the urging of a middle-level officer of the "Official Doctor" knight, he poured buckets of muddy water on the siege ladder.

Although the Qin State made a windfall, it was not arrogant to wrap all the siege ladders and stools in the raw cowhide that set fire, and most of them still used muddy water everywhere to cover the siege ladders and stalks, as if they were burned by rockets and fire oil, which could also increase the defense of the planks and reduce the possibility of strong bows and crossbows penetrating the planks.

As the drums of war beat more and more rapidly, the muddy and watery smears began to move forward, and as the targets of the battlefield were set on fire, they began to fill the trenches dug under the city of Xinzheng.

Outside the west gate and the south gate of Xinzheng is the water tank, and the Koreans dug a trench to lead the water to enclose Xinzheng, as a moat, and it is also a water source reserve in the city.

Before the siege, Zhang Ji had already asked the auxiliaries and the people to dig up the soil and sand and put them into sacks, and the Qin soldiers only needed to throw the sacks into the moat.

For each throw, the soldiers responsible for maintaining military discipline and recording military merits were watching from behind, and the soldiers who successfully threw them into a sack remembered their merits.

In just a moment, the siege ladders on the battlefield were also slowly moving forward under the impetus of the soldiers, and the crossbowmen standing on the siege ladders bent their bows and arrows or pulled the crossbow machines, sharing part of the pressure for the robes below.

And behind the siege ladder, there was also a phalanx of crossbowmen, under the cover of a shield soldier, constantly firing at the head of the city.

Yang Wengzi frowned slightly, the progress of the Qin army was quite smooth, but the casualties were much larger than before, but it did not stop the momentum of the Qin army's advance, but he faintly had some bad feelings.

It wasn't until the moat was filled up and the Qin army began to attack the head of the city that the Qin army finally realized how this Korean army was different from the previous Korean army.

Who has ever seen Sergeant Han pull Sergeant Qin down the city when he was dying?

Who has ever seen more than ten arrows in the body of the Han army's crossbowmen, and they have to poke out of the city wall, stand up against the rain of arrows and the blades of the Qin soldiers, and shoot the last arrow at the Qin soldiers?

Yes!

But that was the strong Han of more than 100 years ago, not the weak Han of today!

At that time, the Korean army had a strong bow and a strong crossbow and a tenacious will to fight, but now this South Korean army has burst out with a strong will to fight, and it can be seen with the naked eye that the quality of these Korean soldiers is not an ordinary Korean soldier.

Could it be that Wei Zhuang put the elite of the Han army at the head of the city and wanted to kill the prestige of the Qin army?

This was the unanimous guess of Yang Wengzi, Su Jiao, Ren Huan and Huan Qi, who were responsible for attacking the four city gates, and reported to Zhang Ji to request additional siege equipment.

Attacking the city is naturally a one-shot effort, then a decline, and three exhaustions.

Even if he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Korean army, but the cautious Yang Wengzi did not choose to retreat temporarily, and no one could waste the first opportunity to attack the city with the strongest morale.

At the east gate, Huan Qi asked the guards behind him to put on a pair of heavy armor ordered from the Mo family, put on a helmet, and walked forward.

"General, general can't!"

Seeing this, several generals hurriedly came up to stop Huan Qi.

As the main general of the attack on the east gate, how could anyone who saw the defeat of the army and had to go into battle to attack the city himself?

This is not a field battle, no matter how much the field battle is guarded by personal guards, but the siege war has to climb the ladder, and it is impossible for the guards to have the spare strength to protect their own generals when climbing the ladder.

But Huan Qi didn't, took an iron shield, Huan Qi raised the shield with one hand and followed behind a siege ladder, put the iron shield on the wooden frame of the ladder, and pushed the siege ladder together.

Although Huan Qi's behavior was a little impulsive and reckless, it did boost the morale of Qin's soldiers.

The main generals of the first army have all gone into battle in person, what reason do they have to retreat?

As the siege ladder was pushed to the bottom of the city, Huan Qi held an iron shield and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Sons, kill the head of the city, follow me first!" ”

"Go first! Go first! ”

After that, Huan Qi rushed directly to the siege ladder, climbed the wooden ladder, and covered his body with an iron shield to resist the arrows fired from the city.

When a Han sergeant saw Huan Qi holding an iron shield, he judged that Huan Qi was by no means an ordinary soldier.

The iron ore required for the iron shield is not a small amount, and with that heavy armor, it looks extraordinary.

The experienced veteran judged at a glance that this was at least an officer of the Qin army of the Grand Doctor, and he stabbed at Huan Qi with a long ge.

Huan Qi did not use the iron shield to block the stabbing Changge, but turned slightly sideways and smashed the iron shield on Changge's wooden handle, and the wooden handle broke in response, leaving only a wooden stick with a wooden thorn in the hand of the Han sergeant.

Huan Qi took the opportunity to climb up again, and the Han sergeant just now called a few robes, two rolling logs, and a boulder smashed towards Huan Qi.

Even with the iron shield and fine armor protection, the falling of the rolling wood and the boulder still smashed a small hole in the iron shield, and Huan Qi's arms were also sore.

Huan Qi is also a fierce general, and with a roar, he simply rushed up, jumped up a few feet away and knocked down the Han soldier who threw a boulder at him, pressed the Han soldier under the iron shield, and smashed the fist in his hand on his head, beating him to death.

The two Han soldiers who threw the log at Huan Qi were startled by Huan Qi's fierce appearance, and then they pulled out the swords on their waists and pounced on Huan Qi as if they had just woken up from a dream.

After landing at the top of the city, Huan Qi no longer had so many restraints, and pulled out the Qin sword at his waist and slashed at one of them.

The sharp Qin Sword directly cut off the sword in the hand of the Han sergeant, and the sword momentum was still not old after cutting the sword, but continued to fall rapidly, directly splitting the head of the Han sergeant in half from top to bottom, and blood sprayed and splashed on Huan Qi's body.

I don't know if it was the excitement after the bloodbath, or because Huan Qi avenged the revenge of throwing wood just now, the battle intent in Huan Qi's eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Qin Jiang Huan Qi, go first!"
