Under Shi Min's order, the 150,000 Zhao army attacked from all sides, swept away the leaves with the autumn wind, and in less than half a month, quickly took the three counties of Jinxing, Guangwu and Xiping in Xiliang, and the troops approached Quliu.

When Zhang Jun heard the news, he was greatly frightened, and hurriedly ordered the general Niu Xuan to garrison Quliu to resist.

Qu willow.

"Kill!"

Countless Zhao soldiers in green clothes and black armor held weapons and rushed to the side of the city desperately.

Quliu City is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall is five zhang high, the city wall is continuous, zigzag and twisted, as if it was gnawed by a dog a few bites.

The city wall of Quliu is made of rammed earth and blue bricks, coupled with the attack of the great enemy, the Liang army defending the city has built a lot of city fortifications, and the combat readiness is perfect, the Zhao army wants to take this Quliu City, it seems that it is impossible not to hit the head and break the blood!

Around this way, Zhao Jun's siege equipment is very perfect, which depends on Shi Min's requirements and Shi Hu's ambition to unify the north, spare no effort to support!

Otherwise, how easy would it be for Zhao Jun to capture nearly twenty cities in the three counties of Xiliang in just half a month?

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Whoosh! ……”

The Liang army defending the city was very well prepared, and whenever a large number of Zhao soldiers climbed up the ladder, they would always be killed by a burst of arrows.

Of course, after such a long period of fierce fighting, many Zhao soldiers have already climbed to the top of the city, but they were killed by the Liang soldiers who were waiting for them.

Shi Min is a brave general, he knows that the most taboo for a handsome person is to risk his life, but if he doesn't go to the front line, he will not be very relieved if he just commands those generals above.

Shi Min just wants to end the war of Zhengliang as soon as possible, because the things that Shi Hu is doing now are all tragic and inhumane! It is foreseeable that every day, many innocent Han people die tragically under the cruel enslavement and exploitation of the Zhao court!

Not to mention anything else, as far as Shi Min knows, Shi Hu built more than 40 Taiguan in Yecheng, and built two palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an, and more than 400,000 people participated in the work.

Shi Hu also wanted to build a pavilion road from Yecheng to Xiangguo, and ordered the four prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River to rectify the armaments of the Southern Expedition, and prepare military funds for the westward expedition in Bingzhou, Shuozhou, Qinzhou, and Yongzhou, and Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou to prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

The armies of the prefectures and counties totaled more than 500,000 armor soldiers and 170,000 boatmen, and one-third of them drowned and were devoured by tigers and wolves. In addition, the princes and shepherds competed for personal gain, and the people lost their family business and were miserable!

What Shi Hu wanted to do, Shi Min knew very well that he just wanted to consume the vitality of their Han people in this way!

At this moment, Shi Min was staying in the building car, watching the battle of Quliu's offensive and defensive battles.

Nest car is also known as the building car, mainly as the strategic weapon of the ancient siege of the city, is a kind of lookout car specially for observing the enemy's situation, the bottom of the car is equipped with wheels, can be pushed, the car is erected with a solid wood two long columns, the top of the pillar is set up with a roller shaft (pulley), a small board house is tied to the roller with a rope, the board house is 9 feet high, 4 feet square, there are 12 lookout holes on all sides, and there are raw cowhide outside, in case the enemy is destroyed by arrows.

The house can accommodate two people, and it can be raised several feet by roller cart, so that you can observe the enemy soldiers in the city during the siege.

And Zhao Jun's building car was improved by Shi Min.

In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, building cars have appeared.

During the Battle of Yanling in 575 B.C., the king of Chu, accompanied by Dazai Bozhou Plough, personally boarded the nest car to inspect the enemy's situation. When Wang Mang's army besieged Kunyang in 23 years, a large nest car with a height of more than 10 zhang was built to observe the dynamics of the defenders in the city, which was called a cloud car.

And the building car that has been transformed by Shi Min is actually a "watchtower car" that did not appear until the Song Dynasty!

This kind of car is made of solid wood, 8 zhang high, the top is placed in a plate layer, 5 feet wide, the content is included in the white flag to watch the enemy's movements, and the soldiers below are informed of the enemy situation with simple flag language.

Roll up the flag to indicate that there is no enemy, and open the flag to indicate that the enemy is coming; If the flagpole is stretched horizontally, the enemy is close, and if the flagpole is vertical, the enemy will reach; The enemy retreats and slowly raises the flagpole, and the enemy has retreated and rolls up the flag.

Watchtower car, there are wheels at the bottom of the car that can be pushed back and forth; There are pedglings on the poles for the sentries to climb up and down; The side of the vertical rod is fixed with a thick rope diagonally; The watchtower itself is equipped with a rotating shaft, which can be rotated on all sides for observation. This watchtower car is taller than the nest car and has a wide field of view.

Wen Tai, who was beside Shi Min, saw that the soldiers attacking the city on his side were so big, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "General, Quliu City is strong, and the defenders' will to resist is so strong, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to take." Siege the city and plunder the land, do not rush to a moment, today is late, the soldiers are tired, the last general please Ming Jin to collect the troops, tomorrow to fight again! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min waved his hand and said, "Time doesn't wait for me." All those who fight, Mo is not a blow, and then decline, three and exhaustion, our Zhao army's precedent for attacking the fortification, is not to attack day and night, and those who cannot attack for a long time are often defeated. We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

"Have you arrived with all the siege equipment?"

"Siege equipment such as wooden curtains, chariots, and moats are all in place!"

"Good!"

Shi Min turned around again and asked solemnly, "Wentai, are you afraid of death?" ”

"What is the fear of death? People die lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai, I Wentai don't say that I'm not afraid of death, but as long as the death is worthwhile, the death is deserved, why pity this hundred and eighty pounds? ”

"Good! Wentai, you are really my Zhao Zilong, you are full of guts! ”

Shi Min said solemnly: "Wentai obeys orders!" ”

"The last general!"

"I want you to select 800 sharp soldiers to attack the city as a death squad! If you can't take Quliu City, you can't turn back! ”

"No!"

Wen Tai was really brave, and after receiving the order, he immediately selected 800 dead soldiers who were strong, strong, and determined to die.

Shi Min knew that their trip was nine deaths, so before leaving, he gave them a ride, gathered them in an open space, and asked them to fill a bowl of wine for them, and at the same time, he distributed eight thousand taels of silver, ten taels per person!

The sharps who took the wine bowl and the silver all looked at Shi Min on the high slope with solemn faces.

Shi Min took a bowl of wine and said loudly: "Soldiers! Quliu is a strong city, the gateway to Wuwei, take Quliu, you can overlook Guzang! The soldiers are very fast, and if you take Quliu one day earlier, you can greatly reduce the casualties of our army! Your task is daunting! ”

"These ten taels of silver are your settling-in expenses, and there are follow-up pensions and some rewards, if you can't get the rewards, the warriors who sacrificed their lives with honor, I, Shi Min, will be the king of Ming, and the pension will be preferential!" I'm going to cheer you on! Ladies and gentlemen, go in peace! ”

"!"

"—"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Shi Min and the eight hundred Rui Shi smashed the wine bowl at the same time, wiped the wine from the corner of their mouth, and then, the eight hundred Rui Shi instantly turned into a berserker, and his whole body seemed to be full of power.

They all took up a ring-headed sword, and with red eyes and wolf howls, they rushed towards the wall of Quliu.
