Chapter Seventy-Two: Momentum Like a Bamboo, Qin Soldiers
The night is shrouded like a spider's web, and Yuxian is like a prey falling into a spider's web, waiting for the arrival of the hunter.
The Marquis of Qin dispersed into the city and began to strictly carry out the tasks assigned by the general.
Between the tents, thatched houses, streets, and private houses, they disguised themselves as Zhao soldiers or civilians, and spread some complaints, emphasizing the news of the strength and large number of people of the Qin army.
He also complained that Zhao Jun left, letting those who had not even served on the battlefield and military service go to the battlefield to die.
complained that he had reached the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he still had to pick up his soldiers again, standing on top of the city in armor, waiting for the arrival of the Qin army's crossbow.
complained about the stupidity of the monarch of Zhao Guo, complained about the ruthlessness of the generals of Zhao Jun, and complained about the dwarfness of the city walls of Zhao State.
I envy the benevolence of the monarch of Qin, envy that the people of Qin have farmland, envy that Qin has no labor and conscription, and envy that Qin has no slaves.
These small news would appear in the city from time to time, resounding in Zhao Jun's ears, arousing the despair and envy in their hearts.
These languages spread by the Qin army continued to spread to all parts of Yu County, and the Zhao army in the barracks began to discuss in a low voice, and the Zhao army patrolling the street reprimanded a few words of Qin Jun's marquis, let them go and continued to patrol, but their footsteps obviously lost their sonorous power at the beginning.
The Qin army battalion.
In the camp tent of the Chinese army, Yan Yan looked at the general layout of the siege sent by Han Song, printed his golden seal, and asked the soldiers to send it to the camp where Han Song was.
Han Song was discussing tomorrow's process with the captain in charge of the siege mission in the army, and a report came from outside the camp.
"General, the Taishi paperwork has been delivered."
Han Song: "Come in." ”
The herald walked into the tent, handed the letter in his hand to Han Song, and then bowed and left.
Han Song took it, it was the petition he handed over, and three seals were stamped on it.
One is the seal of the Taishi, the other is the seal of the military talisman, and the other is the military order.
Han Song looked at the seven lieutenants in the camp tent and said, "The Taishi agreed, tomorrow will be according to the plan, everyone go back to rest, and the big battle will start tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
Han Song came alone outside the camp, and Hou Xun had not yet returned, and they would serve as the rear hand in the city to disturb the morale of the enemy army until the Qin army broke through the county seat.
Within the city of Yuxian.
The Qin army marquis gathered together at the agreed time, and the captain asked the first marquis to return to the Qin army camp to report the order, and the rest continued to stay in the city.
"Tomorrow no one shall go up to the top of the city, lest they be injured by mistake."
"At the critical moment, kill Zhao Jun and flee."
"Yes."
Once again, the team dispersed and disappeared into the night.
A trumpet broke the silence of the early morning, and the Qin military camp began to be lively, and the smoke rose from the camps everywhere and began to enjoy food.
The sky was bright, and Fuguang appeared above the sky, sprinkling the brilliance of golden oranges.
On the lookout in the center of the Qin army, Yan Yan and Concubine Yan stood on it, watching the Qin army begin to set up.
Under Han Song's order, the war drums in the army were beaten, and the sound of Dong Dong Dong was like a thunder above the nine heavens, resounding in the world.
The shield pawn held a large shield of the same height in both hands, and stood in the front in three columns, followed by three columns of spearmen, followed by crossbowmen.
Behind the front formation are the giant crossbow array and the catapult array, and the armament optimized for public defeat has not yet been able to spread among the army, and the catapult is still the main force of the Qin army's siege.
Behind the two formations were foot soldiers holding round shields and oxtail knives, followed by wall-climbing guidelines such as cloud cars, cloud ladders, and ramming rams.
Yan Nan led 5,000 heavy cavalry divided into two armies, serving as the left and right wings.
The military formation prepared to follow, and the black and blue flags in the hands of the flag commander waved forward at the same time, conveying the order to advance the defense to the position.
The shield soldiers in the front row began to move, the army in the rear began to follow, and the giant crossbows and catapults were also pushed and pulled by the Qin army, moving forward.
[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】
On the city wall of Yuxian County, the generals of the Zhao army saw the majesty of the Qin army, and successively gave orders to defend, and the city walls and battlements began to raise wooden planks to defend against arrows, and oil, wood, and stones were moved to the city to resist cloud ladders and hooks, and bows and arrows were used to resist cloud chariots.
Both sides lined up and fought for the word on the flag behind them.
Yan Yan "Yu County is still too small after all, Zhao Jun was transferred too much by Li Mu, and the city is broken today." ”
Concubine Yan looked at the people of Zhao who had been arrested on the city wall of Yuxian County, acting disorderly and disorganized, while the Qin army advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and ordered words and deeds.
Concubine Yan: "Those people in Yuxian County are completely outsiders to the military order battlefield, and there will be no exception to such a result. ”
Han Song looked at the battlefield and glanced back at the towering lookout of the Chinese army, where the Taishi was watching.
Han Song ordered "giant crossbows and catapults to prepare to attack and suppress the Zhao army on the city wall as quickly as possible." ”
The herald left, and the flag commander changed the flag to red and waited for Han Song's order.
The herald came to the military formation of the giant crossbow and catapult and conveyed the moving order.
After receiving the order, the lieutenant in charge of the two armies began to load the crossbow and shells, and at the same time had the flag commander convey the ready flag message.
The flag commander beside Han Song saw the purple flags of his comrades in the two armies waving, and said to Han Song, "General, get ready." ”
Han Song "began to attack. ”
The red flag in the hands of the flag commander waved and conveyed the order to attack.
"Put."
The muffled sound of rest and winter sounded.
A hundred giant crossbows and fifty catapults, showing their might before the eyes of the two armies.
Zhao Jun heard the most terrifying sound of his life, the planks on the city wall were smashed, the city wall was shot through, exploded, and then a fire broke out.
Under the three rounds of shooting, the city wall of Yuxian City was already in danger.
Han Song saw this scene and gave the order to attack the city.
The red flag and black flag in the hand of the flag commander waved at the same time, and the military formation began to advance towards Yuxian County.
When there were still a hundred zhang away from the city wall, the crossbowmen began to fire crossbows, and Zhao's bows and arrows could not shoot such a distance at all.
The cloud carts, ladders, and rams began to approach the city walls under the cover of the shield army.
The siege began.
The Qin crossbowmen always suppressed the Zhao army in the city, making it difficult for them to fight back, and the Qin army's advance speed was able to smoothly cross the dangerous area.
Yan Yan turned around and left, there was no suspense in this war, and then he was ready to take over Yu County.
At noon, Yuxian City was broken, and a large number of Zhao troops on the city wall took off their military uniforms and restored the identity of the people.
Hou Xun, who was in the city before, grabbed the county order in the city and tied him up and took him to the Qin army camp.
When Yan Yan was dealing with the city in an orderly manner, he counted all the materials and personnel, arranged post-war cleaning and other work, and burned all the remains in a centralized manner.
Yan Yan erected a monument outside the city, and engraved the names of all the sacrificed Qin soldiers, even if there was no name and only one title.
This incident caused a great shock among the Qin army.
A day later, in addition to the Qin army that remained behind, Han Song continued to lead the army and set off, heading towards Yangqu next door.
Jinyang.
Wang Jian cut off the Zhao Ziqi above the city head, replaced it with the flag of the Qin State, and then according to Yan Yan's instructions, he left the defensive forces and rushed towards Yiyang.
Yang Song.
The Qin army arrived.
Seeing that they had adopted a different tactic from Yuxian, the Zhao army took the initiative to attack, and fought with the Qin army on the flat ground outside the city for two rounds, and retreated into the city in a defeating way.
Han Song: "Taishi, you can attack the city at night tonight." ”
"The enemy army will also have such thoughts, so there will inevitably be precautions. ”
"At this time, the siege of the city is too great a loss for our army, so it is not possible."
Yan Yan "ordered to go down, and before dawn in the early morning, while the enemy army was strictly guarding against a night of mental exhaustion, the army attacked the city. ”
Han Song nodded: "The last general will arrange it." ”
"Organize an army to harass the enemy from time to time, leaving them in constant tension. ”
Han Song left to arrange the task, and half an hour later, the Qin army marched towards Yangqu City with great momentum, seeing that the posture was like attacking the city.
After the Zhao army lit the fire and tore the night, the Qin army retreated with thunder and rain.
Next, in an hour or an hour and a half, Qin Jun will come here once, Zhao Jun is not surprised, and he is not as nervous as he was at the beginning.
As soon as the general of the Zhao army returned to his residence, he heard a sound from outside when he closed his eyes and lay down, and he didn't care, Qin Jun's momentum had been staged several times from dark to almost dawn.
As his eyes narrowed slightly, the movement outside grew louder and louder, and then chaos erupted in the city.
Everywhere there was the sound of the city being broken and the Qin army entering the city.
Then the guards rushed in, and without saying anything, they took him and ran towards the west gate, it turned out that this time it was true, and Yang Qu was broken.
In ten days, Han Song took the three cities of Zhao Junyu County, Yangqu, and Jiexiu, most of which was spent on the march.
At the same time, Wang Jian spread the news that Yiyang had entered the arms of the Qin State, and he was now rushing towards the river with his soldiers and horses.
Xianyang.
The battle report of Shangjun came, and Yingzheng's hearty laughter spread throughout the hall.
Liu Yang Mansion.
At the request of Yukihime, Flame Spirit Ji began to recuperate.
Korea.
The tide banshee looked at Zhao Gao, "My lord." ”
Zhao Gao: "Since you are working under the Taishi, you don't need to practice such etiquette to me." ”
Chao Banshee: "Lord Xie." ”
Zhao Gao: "Let's talk about it, Taishi's plan." ”
The Chao Banshee told Yan Yan's plan, which was an order from Xianyang, and it was Yan Yan's handwriting.
After listening to this, Zhao Gao nodded and said, "I know, you continue to follow the plan, and I will cooperate in secret." ”
After saying that, Zhao Gao disappeared in front of the tide banshee, and the tide banshee looked at Zhao Gao who had disappeared without a trace, and her heart was full of fear.
The strength of the leader of the net is so strong, if he hadn't found a backer in advance, he might really die.
After Zhao Gao left the Han Palace, he walked casually on the streets of Xinzheng, and the star soul appeared beside him.
Zhao Gao: "Master Mage." ”
Star Soul "Lord Zhao." ”
"The illusion and eyebrow technique on King Han's body are enough for him to die without knowing it, and I put another spell on him for insurance to ensure that he dies at the time required by the Taishi."
Zhao Gao: "There is a Dharma Protector." ”
Star Soul "I heard that there are many secret hands in Xinzheng City, I don't know if Lord Zhao has found anything." ”
Zhao Gao: "At the moment, Han Fei said that he was sick to avoid the mission of Qin, and the trust between Ji Wuye and Han Yu was broken, and the two sides would fight next. ”
"As for the rest, we'll have to keep reading to find out."
The Star Soul will not bother Lord Zhao in the next place, and will go to the Wei State. ”
Zhao Gao: "I won't send the Dharma Protector in the future." ”
Star Soul leaves.
Zhao Gao walked towards the ruins of the Han Palace.
Zilanxuan.
Purple Girl: "At present, the struggle between Han Yu and Ji Wuye in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and it may affect us at any time, what should we do." ”
Wei Zhuang: "This is going to ask Han Fei, he is the one who knows the situation best when he is above the court." ”
Purple Girl: "I always feel that behind South Korea, in addition to the nightfall, there is another force involved. ”
Wei Zhuang: "Whatever it is, I will face it head-on. ”
General's Palace.
Ji Wuye: "Han Yu seems to be unable to stay." ”
Jade Tiger: "Yes, he actually wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but he should not forget that the bridge he can cross the river was built by us." ”
Wei.
The moon god looked at Daliang City and did not enter it, a figure appeared behind her, handed her a box, and said, "My lord said, when the mage arrives, give this thing to the mage." ”
The moon god took it, and the man vanished.
The moon god looked at the box, and Yan Yan's figure flashed in his mind, playing with the six countries in the palm of his hand.
Yan Guo.
King Yan was in a good mood when he learned that Qin had sent troops to attack Zhao, and he ordered to intensify the attack on Zhao, and at the same time spread the news to the three armies.
Zhao Guo.
King Zhao began to be embarrassed, and the Qin State was more tricky than the Yan State, so now it became a difficult question whether to resist the Qin State or attack the Yan State.
Qi country.
The king of Qi ignored the envoys of Zhao who came to seek fate and send troops to attack Yan together, and still lived a carefree life in the corner of the East China Sea.
Chu.
Xiang Yan asked to attack Qin, but the king of Chu did not allow it.
The last time he attacked the Qin State on a large scale, he was resisted by the Qin State, not to mention, he also lost half of the territory of the two souths, and even moved the capital.
The first snow of winter fell.
Yan Yan ordered the Qin army to stop the siege and began to defend the city strictly.
The eight cities of Jinyang, Yiyang, Hejian, Yangqu, Yuxian, Jiexiu, Zishi, and Wuxian were occupied by the Qin State in just one month, occupying a quarter of the Taiyuan of the Zhao State.
Wu County.
Yan Yan looked at the snowflakes, it was too difficult to attack the city in the snow in winter, and the losses would be greatly increased.
Stopping and continuing the offensive is the best option.
Yan Yan "sent an order, all cities are forbidden to send troops, Zhao army came to attack the city and defended, and then attacked the city when this winter passed." ”
"Give Wang Jian an order, let him defend the three cities of Jinyang, Yiyang, and Hejian, and block the southward reinforcements of the Zhao army from the three places."
The herald began to convey Yan Yan's orders to the Qin army.
After Wang Jian received Yan Yan's order, he replied to the order that he would definitely defend the three places.
The rest of the cities also replied with an obedient reply.
The snow is getting heavier, this summer is very hot, the winter is bitterly cold, and it looks like next year will still be a disaster year.
Yan Yan returned to the room, and Liki poured him a cup of tea, then snuggled up to his shoulder.
Yan Yan drank tea and spent a leisurely time.
