Chapter 134: The Girder
King Wei took two years of leave, Daliang.
"How dare he stop his troops!"
"Dare no erections! You don't have the guts to erect it!"
In the palace, the king of Wei pretended to be filial, and his long beard under his jaw shook with anger.
All the attendants in the palace bowed their heads and bowed down, not daring to speak.
"Why is the king angry? Now Wang Ben's troops are besieging Daliang, and they are waiting to gather and annihilate our Wei reinforcements, if Ning Lingjun rashly comes to help, I am afraid that he will be annihilated by the Qin army."
An old man with a dove cane and a white beard walked into the temple.
With every step he took, he coughed softly and his body shook as if he were going to fall at any moment.
He is in his nineties.
Hearing the old man speak, King Wei's fake anger lessened, and he said with a sad and angry face, "Duke Tang, now Daliang is in danger!"
"Do you see, what is Wang Ben doing? He wants to dig through the chasm, dig the embankment of Xingkou, and flood my Daliang City with the water of the great river!"
Tang Ju was silent.
When he was young, he had personally seen the man from the Qin State.
The man stood on the main hall of the Wei Kingdom, with his head held high and his face radiant. In front of the civil and military forces of the Wei State, he waved his sleeves, splashed spit, and said that terrible threat.
"If you decide Xingkou, Wei has no beams; The mouth of the white horse, Wei Wuwaihuang, Jiyang; At the mouth of the decisive Xu, Wei is void and Dunqiu. If you attack Hanoi by land, you will destroy the girder by water!"
"If Wei doesn't care about Qin, just wait for the day when the water will irrigate the beam!"
At that moment, all the ministers of the Wei State changed color, and the King of Wei was so frightened that he almost fell off the couch.
Now that decades have passed, the Qin people are really here, and they are about to fulfill the cruel words they said decades ago.
The king of Wei was trapped in the city of Daliang.
Outside were Wang Ben's 50,000 Huaiyang soldiers, as well as more than 100,000 Qin laborers who were working hard to dig ditches.
Further out, it is the division of King Qin of Wei who stopped in Chenliu, Yongqiu and other places.
Among them, Ningling Jun Wei was the most, he gathered 10,000 Wei troops to be stationed in Yongqiu, but he did not dare to march to Daliang and sat back and watched the Qin people dig ditches and open ditches.
The reinforcements were outside, but they did not come to the rescue, which made King Wei fake afraid and angry.
He looked at the silent Tang Ju, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and said pleadingly.
"Duke Tang, you are a famous man in the world, in the past, Qi and Chu attacked Wei, it was you who entered Qin to ask for help, and said that the king of Qin sent troops to save my Wei country."
"Now my beam is in danger, and the life of the community is on the line. Tang Gong, you can still enter Qin again, and beg the King of Qin to let me go of Wei! Let the widow go!"
King Wei pretended to mourn and pleaded, pinning his hopes on the ninety-year-old man in front of him.
Tang Ju smiled helplessly.
Is it still possible?
Let's not say that he is already dying, and half a foot on Huangquan Road.
Just looking at the current situation, how can a strategist solve it with a three-inch tongue?
You don't see Han, Zhao, and Yan all destroyed.
Wei State, how can there be any reason to survive.
"O king, please forgive me for my incompetence."
Tang Ju turned around and slowly walked outside the hall with a dove cane.
He came here just to see King Wei one last time.
Behind Tang Ju was the fake sharp cry of King Wei.
"Wei Zhi didn't dare to come to help, did he want to wait for the Great Liang to be broken by the Qin people, and after the widows and princes were captured by the Qin army, he would be the new King of Wei!"
"Isn't it, isn't it!"
Daliang City is ten zhang high, it is the Central Plains Xiongcheng, towering, magnificent.
Tang Ju stood on the city wall, the wind howling, rolling his beard and flying.
"Tang Gong, it's windy here, please go down."
The captain guarding the city looked at the old man in front of him worriedly, his thin and thin body looked like he would be blown off the city wall by the strong wind at any time.
Tang Ju ignored him and looked out of the city with blank eyes.
Everywhere you look, there are flying black flags.
One after another, the tents of the Qin military camps were all around Daliang City, everywhere
It's crowded, and it's a piece of black press.
In the chasm to the north of the girder, there are countless Qin people wielding hoes and shovels, shouting to dig the ground and open ditches.
They were to dig a ditch to connect the canal that ran through the hinterland of Wei with the city of Daliang.
Tang Ju knew that this was only the first step, and after the ditch to lead to the water was dug up, these Qin people would still head north.
They were going to dig the embankment of Xingkou there, and let the water of the great river rush down, along the chasm, and then along the great canal they dug to the capital of the Wei state.
I wonder if King Wei Hui would have thought that the canal he dug would be loaded with the wrath of the river in the future, and the capital city he built with his own hands would be drowned by him.
"There's a new Qin army coming."
The captain of the city guard sighed lightly.
Tang Ju followed the direction he pointed and looked west.
There, another long black snake snaked its way.
Looking at the number of people, there are tens of thousands.
"It's from Guanzhong."
Tang Ju said surgingly, and the despair in his eyes was even stronger.
At this moment, a terrible whistling sound came from the air.
Tang Ju saw with his own eyes that the huge boulder flew up from the military formation of the Qin people under the city and smashed on the city wall not far away.
The entire city of Daliang trembled.
The Wei army defending the city screamed.
"Cannon!"
The captain looked frightened and said to Tang Ju, "Tang Gong, the Qin army has begun to attack the city with giant cannons again, and I ask Tang Gong to quickly follow me down to the city."
Tang Ju was stunned and looked at the machine that launched the boulder in the Qin army's camp.
Giant cannon.
He had heard of the name of this weapon, and it was said that the first time the Qin army used it in the battle of Ji, he was so frightened that King Yan fled in a hurry and went down to Jicheng in a battle.
The Wei capital girder is naturally much stronger than Jicheng, the city wall is very high, and the wall is very thick.
Although the power of the boulder in front of you is amazing, it is still difficult to break through the city wall.
It's just that.
Wei State, how long can it last?
Tang Ju raised his head and looked at the sky.
The sun, obscured by black clouds.
Suddenly, he saw a high-spirited aristocratic son.
"If the prince of Xinling is still alive, I, Wei Guoan, can end up like this!"
"This is the death of the heavens!"
Tang Ju shouted, he threw away the dove staff, surged the strength of his whole body, and jumped down in the exclamation of the Wei army at the head of the city.
……
"Five hundred lords, it's your cannon!"
Blackhip screamed as he pointed at the trebuchets that were shooting boulders in the distance.
Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes.
In his heart, he sighed that the efficiency of the Qin State was really high, and even Wang Ben's army began to assemble these new siege weapons.
However, Wei was the first hegemon of the Warring States at the beginning, and its national strength was far from being comparable to that of Yan.
The Great Liang City built by King Wei Hui is majestic and strong, coupled with the fact that the Wei State is in the place of four wars, and the battles have been fought one after another, and the Wei kings of the past dynasties have built this capital city as solid as gold, and it is indeed difficult to capture it with a giant cannon alone, even if it is attacked, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
That's why the ministers of the Qin State thought of using the method of water attack to drown Daliang City.
In this way, without spending a single soldier, the remnants of the three Jin Dynasty can be destroyed.
When the Qin army dug ditches, they would not let the Wei people in Daliang City live in peace, and from time to time they would project huge stones into the city, and the Wei people who were blown up cried for their fathers and mothers, showing the fierceness of the Qin people.
"Oh my God, I finally know what the king ordered us to escort these prisoner slaves here, it turned out to be digging a ditch. It's just that in this way, how can we still make meritorious contributions and be promoted? General Wang won't let us dig with us, will he?"
The black buttocks muttered in their mouths and expressed everyone's worries.
They have come here to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, and if they break through the girder with water, then what credit will there be.
Unfortunately, the words of the black buttocks were unfortunately fulfilled.
Will be escorted in
After the prisoner slaves were handed over to the Qin officials who were in charge of this place.
The Qin army in Guanzhong, led by the Marquis of Huan Zhao, got the first task.
Dig a ditch!
