"This is Qin Jun?"

Qi Wangjian trembled and walked up to the north wall of the outer city of Linzi, he leaned on the wall with both hands, poked his head out and looked out.

I saw that north of Linzi City, on the wide and flat field, it had been occupied by dense Qin military camps.

The Linzi city wall is tall, Qi Wangjian stands on it, and can clearly see the Qin village, the ravines are criss-crossed, the camp tents are neatly arranged, and the soldiers wearing black armor enter and exit according to the queue, and there are no random people running around.

The spears and halberds that stood up reflected a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

Qi Wangjian looked straight at the swing and kept inhaling.

"Don't worry, the king should not worry, the number of Qin troops should be around 12 or 30,000, and its soldiers should be even less, at most 780,000. I already have 150,000 soldiers in Linzi City, and I am still recruiting young and strong, and after a few days, I should be able to get more than 200,000 soldiers, so as to defend the city, which is more than enough. ”

Seeing Qi Wangjian's trembling strands, Tian Dan sighed and reported the comparison of the strength of the two sides to appease the king's heart.

Shangqing Tai Shiwen also said: "Yes, except for the Qi people in my city. The minister heard that Dr. Jimo had led 5,000 soldiers to cross Zishui from the south, and he would arrive in the afternoon and enter Linzi from the southern city. In addition to Jimo, the doctors of all the cities of our Qi country are also recruiting large armies, or it will not be long before they will lead troops to protect the king, and at that time, hundreds of thousands of troops of our Qi country will gather, and they may not be afraid of them. ”

"What a doctor of Jimo, he is really the loyalty of the widow."

When Qi Wangjian heard this, he was overjoyed.

Especially thinking that he still has more than 200,000 troops to defend the city, and the doctors of Qi from all over the country are also recruiting soldiers to serve the king, Qi Wangjian's heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Looking at the Qin army camp outside the city, he was not as scared as he was just now.

At this moment, Xiang Bangtian, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Is it really useful to have a large number of people?" Previously, Tian Chong had 300,000 men on his hands, most of whom were trained soldiers, and even a thousand skilled fighters. In the end, it was not defeated by the Qin people in a battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the wall was stunned.

Qi Wangjian's face became even more pale after a "brush".

Tian Dan frowned and stared at Tian Jiao.

This Xiangbang is a good friend of Da Sima, and he is a close confidant promoted by Da Sima, as well as the general recommended in his suicide note to resist Qin.

So Tian Jiao has always taken good care of him, after Tian Dan fled back to Linzi from Zhencheng, Tian Jia persuaded Qi Wangjian to let Tian Dan come to control Linzi's army and be fully responsible for the anti-Qin affairs.

This made Tian Dan very happy, and he had the heart to fight to the death for the Qi country.

It's just that since Tian Dan took office, because he needs to arrange the mobilization and deployment of more than 100,000 soldiers in the city, and also consider various military disputes, he is very busy, and he doesn't have too much time to communicate with Tian Xuan.

The occasional contact made him feel that Xiangbang seemed to be preoccupied.

However, it is also easy to understand that the Qin army is about to attack the city, and once the city is broken, it will be in danger of losing the country.

As the prime minister of Qi and the person to be asked for in the edict of Qin, he will naturally not end well after being caught by the Qin army, and he is worried that it is the normal state, so Tian Dan has not taken it to heart.

It wasn't until today that he was shocked to find that Xiang Bang actually said such fearful words on the city wall.

The Qin army is approaching the city, the king is trembling, shouldn't the courtiers be like himself and Tai Shiwen, comforting the king with good words?

Everyone is cheering for the king, you are all in the same place, why are you still talking about discouragement.

At this time, Tian Jia also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He squeezed out a smile and explained: "If you lose your words for a while, the king can't be taken seriously. At this time, the situation is actually different from that of Da Sima. ”

"He defended the city after the defeat of the field battle with the Qin army, and the back road Ayi was captured by the Qin people, so he failed. However, we did not fight with the Qin army in the field, only relying on the defense of Linzi Jiancheng, there was a small amount of corn inside, and there were reinforcements outside, and the soldiers in the city were all fighting for the country, and the fighting spirit was high, which was incomparable. The king can rest assured that the Qin army will definitely not be able to break through Linzi. ”

After Tian Jiao's explanation, Qi Wangjian's face recovered a lot, but the courage and confidence that Tian Dan and Tai Shiwen had summoned just now were most of them leaked at once.

He waved his hand wordlessly, shaking his old and fat body and walking under the city wall.

Tian Jiao turned his head and smiled bitterly at Tai Shiwen and Tian Dan: "Recently, I have been worried about the affairs of the Qin army, and I am a little afraid, so I said some nonsense just now. ”

"Xiangbang, please rest assured, Tian Dan will definitely do his best to protect Linzi."

Tian Dan hurriedly comforted.

He sighed secretly in his heart, Xiang Bang was so afraid of Qin Jun that he lost his words on the spot, and his psychological state could be seen.

At present, the great enemy and the king and the state have no confidence.

In such a state, how could he lead the Qi people to resist the Qin army?

Tai Shiwen also comforted: "Xiangbang don't be afraid, Dr. Jimo is about to lead the troops to Linzi, he has always been resourceful, with his assistance in the city, plus the Jimo soldiers and horses into the city, it will definitely be able to inspire the military spirit in the city." Let the people of Linzi Qi know that there are still reinforcements in our Qi country, so that the Qi people in the city will be able to defend the city and not be afraid of the Qin army! ”

Tian said with a dry smile: "Yes, now that the Qin army has not besieged the city, Doctor Mo can enter Linzi, and he will definitely be able to encourage the army." ”

……

"Oh? There is a Qi army crossing Zishui from the south and wants to enter Linzi? ”

In the Qin army camp north of Linzi, Zhao Tuo, who had just settled down, also received military information detected by the Qin army's scouts.

Shima replied: "The Qi people in the army said that looking at the banner of this Qi army, it should come from Jimo. Led by Dr. Jimo, he came to support Linzi, and the number of people was about 5,000. ”

"Doctor Jimo."

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jimo, the great city of Qi, is one of the five capitals of Qi.

In the past, the five kingdoms invaded Qi, and the Yan State occupied most of the Qi State, leaving only the two cities of Ju and Jimo unbroken.

Dr. Jimo led his troops out of the city to fight the Yan army and was defeated and died.

After that, the Jimo people elected Tian Dan as a general, and then staged a Jedi reversal drama.

Tiandan is a city of Jimo, and the land of recovering Qi is a legend.

Since then, the position of Jimo Dafu has had a special meaning in the Qi State.

Moreover, according to the information sent back by the Qin State, the current Jimo Doctor is a staunch anti-Qin faction, and now this person has led 5,000 troops to support Linzi, which will definitely inspire the hearts of the Qi people.

"Sent someone to lead our army to ride and eat this Qi army. There is no need to annihilate them all, leave some rout soldiers in the city, and gather the people's fighting spirit. ”

Zhao Tuo said lightly, as the commander of an army of more than 100,000 people, the enemy army of only 5,000 people was no longer something he needed to think about carefully.

Just one word of command, and your own subordinates will deal with it.

His eyes should be on the larger strategic goals.

Shiruma was immediately ordered to leave.

After seeing that Shima left, Li Shiqi said: "After the Moqi army is swallowed by our army, not only will it not bring confidence to Linzi, but it will break the morale of its army, which will be more beneficial to the next surrender." ”

Zhao Tuo looked at Li Shiqi's excited eyes, shook his head and smiled: "When it comes to surrendering, don't worry, sir." Although our army carried the power of 300,000 Qi troops to the south, there were activities of our people in the city to help facilitate this matter. ”

"But after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Linzi, and the city walls are thick, and the courage of the people in the city has not been lost, how can the whole country surrender without a war."

"Mr. wants to enter the city at this time and say that he will surrender to the king of Qi with one mouth, I'm afraid it's still a little worse. It's better to beat the courage of Qi people first, so that you can make contributions in one fell swoop. ”

Li Shiqi said: "If you want to break the courage of the Qi people, the reinforcements to defeat them are really not enough, it seems that the general wants to use artillery." ”

"Whoever knows me, sir."

Zhao Tuo laughed: "Now the north of Linzi has fallen into the hands of our army, and there are rivers and rivers to transfer grain and straw, and logistics are worry-free." We have time, not risk. I should surround Linzi on all sides with a large army, and build dozens of cannons, bombard the city with cannons, and blow up until the people of Qi tremble and are frightened. If Qi people dare to come to the rescue, it will be even better, our army will encircle the point and send reinforcements, which will hurt the morale of the city even more. ”

Li Shiqi admired: "The general is really a master of attacking the heart." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and looked out of the tent.

There, is the direction of Linzi.

……

At dusk, the Jimo Qi army, which had crossed Zishui from the south and was about to enter Linzi City, was attacked by the Qin army.

These 5,000 Qi troops were all temporary recruits from Jimo, and they couldn't even stand in line, and they broke up in an instant under the rush of the Qin army's chariots.

Doctor Jimo, under the escort of his own soldiers, fled into Linzi City in embarrassment.

As for his subordinates, they were killed by the Qin army and captured more than 3,000 people, but there were only a few hundred people who could enter the city with him.

And this is still the Qin army deliberately letting go, just to shake the fighting spirit of the Qi army in the city with these routs.

After the Qin army broke this Qi army, they began to disperse their armies, and set up camps on all sides of Linzi, eyeing the city of Linzi surrounded in the middle.

However, compared to the panic and fear of the Qi people in the city, in the next ten days, the Qin army did not launch an attack on Linzi, but all units of the Qin army were reorganizing and resting.

The craftsmen and craftsmen in the logistics are cutting down trees in the mountains and forests near Linzi, and at the same time looking for stones and polishing stone bullets.

Until late March.

The Qin army was all ready and marched out of the camp.

Outside the north gate of Linzi City.

Fifty cannons were erected.

Hundred-pound stone bombs were piled up behind the cannon.

Zhao Tuo, under the escort of the generals, walked out of the camp and looked at the Linzi Giant City in front of him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Next, he will give gifts to Qi Wangjian in the city.

The largest artillery strike of this era.

Artillery boom Linzi!

There is a third watch in the evening, which will be a little later
