Jinyang.

The Qin army once again came to the city of Tongba, and launched a fierce attack on the city, and the cannonballs fired from the crossbow of the catapult bed continued to fly towards the city.

The giant crossbow fired a burst spear and followed closely, and Wang Qian's order was to completely defeat the city within two days, even if the entire north of the city was bombarded into ruins.

The Zhao army stationed in Tongluo City sent people to Wu'an City to report the news, and when Li Mu learned the news of the Qin army, the city wall of Tongti City had collapsed, and the horseshoe of the Qin army once again stepped on this land.

The defeated Zhao army began to retreat towards Wu'an, Wang Jian ordered the cavalry to pursue, and the Zhao army continued to fight against the Qin army on the way to escape, and by the time they fled to Wu'an, the number was reduced from 10,000 to 2,000, and the remaining 8,000 became the victims of the Qin army's horses.

Li Mu looked at the Qin army under the city, and the crossbows in the sky flew directly towards the city, just looking at the number of about 5,000 cavalry soldiers who dared to attack Wu'an City, Li Mu already understood that the last moment had come.

The states of Qin and Zhao had reached their final moments, and only one of the two sides could successfully have the last laugh, and there was no other choice.

Li Mu ordered a giant crossbow to be erected at the head of the city and began to counterattack the Qin army.

It's just a pity that she didn't make a contribution, and Mrs. Qin Jun's attack was like saying hello, and she left after letting go.

Li Mu looked at the Qin army in the distance, and hurriedly convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to face the Qin army that launched another attack.

Daliang City.

Meng Wu commanded the Qin army to cross the Yellow River and launch a direct attack in the direction of Puyang.

Meng Wu chose to go from Puyang to Neihuang, thus bypassing the Wangling Pass and going straight to Handan City.

To the north of Daliang City, in a relatively gentle basin of the Yellow River, five wooden bridges have been built, and the Qin army began to cross the Yellow River overnight.

Two days later, Meng Wu arrived at Guiling with the Qin army and reached the city, which was located on the front line.

A day later, the Qin army camped ten miles outside the city of Puyang.

Meng Wu "Everyone, we must take Puyang City tomorrow, so that before Handan can react, Chen soldiers will be under Handan City." ”

The thirteen lieutenants and four lieutenants below stood up and said, "Yes." ”

Mengwu's "catapult bed crossbow will serve as the main siege force tomorrow, and the giant crossbow will be used to cover the advance of siege equipment. ”

The two lieutenants stood up, "Yes." ”

The "Mengwu" shield army and crossbowmen advanced at the same time to cover the advance of the siege troops. ”

The shield captain and crossbowman captain stood up and said, "Understood." ”

Mengwu's siege equipment must advance at full speed, closely following the crossbowmen, to ensure that they can reach the city as soon as possible. ”

"The cavalry should pay attention to the movements of the battlefield on both sides to prevent the Zhao army from going out of the city to attack and kill."

"Yes."

Meng Wu: "Let's go and prepare and arrange tasks." ”

So the lieutenants and lieutenants left the camp and rushed towards their troops.

At dawn, the war drums sounded in the barracks, and the Qin army, which had already been prepared, began to proceed according to the plan, and launched a general attack towards Puyang City, without any temptation, without any sheep attack, without following the line of approaching, but directly launching a general attack.

At the same time as the catapult bed crossbow was fired, the shield army had already begun to advance, followed by the crossbowmen ready to enter the range of the crossbow.

Behind the shield army and crossbowmen, a large number of siege equipment began to move towards Puyang City, and many foot soldiers pulled and pushed cloud carts, climbing ladders, cloud ladders, and ramming hammers under the cover of shields, crossbows and giant crossbows, and quickly approached Puyang City.

Meng Wu watched the crossbowmen shoot out of the clouds, watched the siege equipment get closer and closer to Puyang City, watched the giant crossbow and the catapult bed crossbow continue to fire the lethal cannonballs and bursting spears into Puyang City, harvesting the lives of the Zhao army on the city wall.

Songhai.

Flame? Looking at the endless sea, the sea breeze gently blowing on the cheeks, bringing a salty smell, is a completely different feeling.

Concubine Yan: "How do you feel?" ”

Inflammation?" Magnificent. ”

"And I'm not used to the smell, which makes my nose uncomfortable."

Concubine Yan "stayed for two more days and got used to it." ”

Inflammation?" Erniang said that she was going to leave tonight and leave. ”

Concubine Yan is in such a hurry, is there something wrong? ”

Inflammation?" My father has returned to Xianyang from Mobei and is ready to go to Handan City, and Erniang said to take me to the battlefield to see and understand. ”

Concubine Yan nodded, "Pay attention to safety along the way, many people will fail to assassinate your father, and they will target you." ”

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Thank you Master for your concern, we will pay attention." ”

Concubine Yan looked at Qing Ling and nodded, and Qing Ling continued, "Thank you, Master Mage, for this time, right?" The child took care of it. ”

Concubine Yan shook her head and didn't say anything, but looked at Yan? "Son, go to your second mother's side." ”

Flame? Xingli and Qingling left together, and Concubine Yan looked at their backs like this, until the two of them got into the carriage and the carriage disappeared from their eyes, and then they turned around and left here.

In the carriage, Qingling looked at Yan? said: "You are absolutely how about Concubine Yan." ”

Inflammation?" Contradiction. ”

Qingling: "There's a contradiction there. ”

Flame? looked up at Qingling and said, "Erniang has seen it, so don't pretend not to know." ”

Qingling touching the flames? "You don't care about this, let her think about it for herself." ”

Flame? Nodding his head, he adjusted his mind and began to tell about the joy of this period of time, sharing the joy of it.

The carriage left Songhai and headed for Sanchuan County, where in the mountains and forests in front of and behind the carriage, the masters of the Shadow Guards and Flames cleaned up some unsightly thieves or assassins, and solved the danger before it budded.

Handan.

When the news of the destruction of Puyang City came, King Zhao was stunned, and now the Qin army had crossed the river and arrived at the foot of Neihuang City.

King Zhao looked at the many generals below and said, "The Qin army is about to arrive at Handan City, who is willing to lead the army to intercept it." ”

A general spoke, "Your Majesty, the troops in Handan City are not enough to support the rescue. ”

King Zhao: "If there is military strength there, it will be transferred, do you really want the Qin army to besiege Handan City again?" ”

Many generals, you look at you, I look at you, but I don't speak.

At present, the situation of Zhao State has been eroded, General Li Mu confronted Wang Jian army in Wu'an City, and the three places in the north were captured by the Qin army, and the Zhao army there could not move at all, otherwise the Qin army in the three places would go south, and the Zhao State would die faster.

Originally, there was a Wei State in the south as a buffer, and General Li Mu was attacked by the Qin army in Wei and only proposed to rescue Wei, but unfortunately it was not recognized, so this buffer became history.

Now Mengwu is directly sending troops to Zhao from here, and the only reinforcements that Zhao can use are Qinghe and Jibei in the east.

Will Qi Guo let this opportunity go? You must know that Qin and Qi are allies of each other, and Qin will inevitably invite Qi to help and attack Zhao together in this matter, just like when attacking Korea.

In this way, the Zhao army in Qinghe and Jibei cannot be easily used.

King Zhao looked at the many generals who lowered their heads and did not gnaw, the anger in his heart rushed towards his brain, and King Zhao shouted, "Speak." ”

The entire hall resounded with the loud voice of King Zhao, and the ministers were even quieter.

King Zhao "Guo Aiqing, as a prime minister, you also have a better understanding of the domestic situation, you can talk about it." ”

Prime Minister Guo Kai stood up, lowered his head and thought about countermeasures, no matter what he said in this case, it was wrong, and only by grasping the psychology of King Zhao could he solve the problem.

What King Zhao was most worried about was already very clear, and Guo Kai, who was very proficient in figuring out Shangyi, immediately had an answer.

Guo Kai "The king, the minister thinks that the troops of Qinghe and Jibei can be mobilized to return to Handan City. ”

As soon as Guo Kai's words were finished, the ministers who were secretly observing King Zhao's face saw that King Zhao's face was relaxed, obviously Guo Kai had already talked about his psychology.

Guo Kai "Qinghe is the closest to Neihuang and Handan City, and can stop the Mengwu army before it arrives in Handan, and relieve the danger of Handan being besieged." ”

After listening to this, King Zhao looked around the hall and said, "What do you think of Xiangbang's proposal, Aiqing. ”

Zhao Wang's words were relaxed, much easier than the anger just now.

Many generals knew that this was a dangerous move, but they didn't have the courage to refute it, King Zhao's angry shout just now was still echoing in his ears, who dared to disagree at this time, then it was equivalent to finding death for himself.

Seeing that no one had raised an opinion, King Zhao directly ordered, "Order the generals of Qinghe and Jibei to immediately lead the army to support Handan and block the Mengwu army." ”

"The king is wise."

The Zhao character Daxu at the head of the inner Huangcheng was cut down and replaced with a Qinzi Daxu.

Meng Wu looked at the other side of the river, and then crossed the river, and the Qin army would go straight to Handan City.

As for Wang Ling's Zhao army, it is enough to divide a cavalry army to contain them, prevent them from eating the pass and rescue them, and buy time for the army to attack Handan.

The planned Zhao army in Qinghe and Jibei will launch an attack whenever they come forward, and before that, Handan City will be the primary target of the Qin army.

Wu'an.

Wang Jian rode his horse to the front of the two armies and shouted to Li Mu at the head of Wu'an City.

Wang Jian "Li Mu, my king cherishes your talent very much, my king said, as long as you are willing to surrender and be loyal to the Qin State, the Qin State is willing to give you the title of general." ”

Li Mu listened to Wang Qian's shout below, and looked at him with a very solemn expression, the Qin army was already gaining the upper hand, why not continue to attack the city, but choose to use this way.

Wang Qian's voice continued to come, "King Zhao is faint and incompetent, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he doesn't know everything. ”

"In military matters, I don't listen to you but listen to the villain, and there are many restrictions on you, so that you miss the opportunity to fall into such a field, and King Zhao also blames you for it, so it can be seen that Zhao is not your Li Mu's place of residence."

On the top of Wu'an City, the surviving Zhao army was completely shaken by Wang Qian's words, and it was also some Zhao army generals who already had opinions, they already had a lot of opinions on the problem of King Zhao listening to his greedy ministers and meddling in the military, and now he was directly shouted by Wang Qian, and his heart was even more sad and indignant, even the enemy country could see where the disadvantages of Zhao were located, and there was still hope for continuing to fight?

Li Mu turned his head to look around, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Don't listen to the words of the enemy, the enemy is bewitching us and making us lose our determination to fight." ”

Wang Jian listened to Wang Qian's shouting above and did not continue.

Since persuasion is useless, it is much more useful for the Qin State to die Li Mu than to live Li Mu.

Handan City.

Luo Wang began to act, spreading that Li Mu had been bought by the Qin State, and returned to Handan on the grounds of defeat by abandoning Wu'an, and when the time came, he should join forces with the Qin army in the city of Handan, and then open the city gate for the Qin army.

At the same time, Li Mu was walking in the barracks, saying bad things about King Zhao, and bad words about the good man Guo Kai, which were very popular.

Even in the military camps in Handan City, it had already spread, and most of the Zhao soldiers patted their chests and assured that they had heard it with their own ears in Wu'an City and Tongluo City, and it was very correct.

These rumors soon reached Guo Kai's ears, so they followed into the ears of King Zhao, and then the news of the destruction of Wu'an City reached Handan City.

Li Mu led the army to retreat towards Handan, Li Mu disdained the recent rumors in Handan City, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a trick of the Qin army, and he believed that King Zhao had his own judgment and would definitely not be able to wronged him.

Li Mu forgot one thing, that is, the merit is high and the lord is shocked, and with the advice of Guo Kai, an important minister, it can be said that Li Mu's end is doomed.

After Wang Jian broke through Wu'an City, he learned that Mengwu had crossed the river from Neihuang and was marching towards Handan City.

Wang Jian was not in a hurry, and ordered a two-day rest, and then marched to Handan two days later, giving Handan City an illusion.

Mengwu's side also received the Qinghe River, and the Zhao army was preparing to cross the river and head to Dune City.

Meng Wu decided to camp on the road to Handan City and wait for the arrival of Zhao's army.

Li Mu led the army back to Handan City, was directly summoned into the palace by King Zhao, and then handed over the tiger talisman, and was removed from command by King Zhao.

Li Mu walked towards the mansion under the escort of the forbidden army, his steps were very heavy, and Li Mu thought a lot along the way.

Li Mu's mansion.

Wipe Zhen Yue looked up at the door, where he slowly walked into the house, and then stopped three miles away from him.

Zhao Gao: "General Li Mu." ”

Li Mu: "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Gao: "Qin State Chefu ordered Zhao Gao." ”

Li Mu: "Everything in this city is done by you. ”

Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Zai Xia is just a beginning, most of them are done by the nobles in the city, and their hatred for Li Mu is deeper than what Zai Xia thinks." ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and the movements in his hands stopped, he never thought that this would be the result, and he was actually falling into the well at this time.

Yan Guo.

In the prince's mansion of Jicheng, Yan Dan's carriage went out of the city, after this period of reasoning, his father finally agreed to send troops to rescue Zhao, and the cold thing happened to Yan Guo.

The fastest thief among the leaders of the Mo family rushed towards Handan City with Yan Guo's letter of state, and he wanted to inform Yan of Yan's decision to aid Zhao as soon as possible, so that King Zhao could order the Zhao army in Yuyang Land to let him go.

When the thief left, Yan Dan had already led the Yan army and the Mo family's machine beast troops to set off.

After several years of development, the Mo family, with the support of Yan Dan, built more than 300 Organ White Tigers and 2,000 giant crossbows, raising the strength of the Yan Army by several levels.

Meng Wu received the news that Zhao's army had set out from the sand dunes and rushed to Handan, and ordered preparations for battle.

At the same time, the state of Qi gathered forces in Jibeidi, waiting for the order to attack.
