After Wuchen recovered Zhuoxian, his momentum was greatly enhanced, and soon he led his army south to march to Handan.

Handan City is also in intense preparation at this time, the rise of military ministers in Zhao has deeply threatened the safety of Handan City, the county guard Shan Weiyi has also asked for help from neighboring counties, but the counties are sweeping the snow in front of the door, no one is willing to reinforce Handan, Shan Weiyi had to raise more than 3,000 people in Handan, with 20,000 defenders, stationed in Handan.

At this time, the city was stepping up the transportation of rolling wood thunder stones, although the number was already very large, but Shan Weiyi was worried that the military ministers would be chattering about attacking Handan, and once the years were moved, this battle would become a protracted war.

But there is also news from Guanzhong, which makes Shan Weiyi feel excited, that is, Zhang Han led an army of 400,000 and broke Zhou Wen, which will be a sign of the rise of Qin, and as long as he sticks to Handan, perhaps, in the near future, reinforcements will arrive.

With illusions and hopes, Shan Weiyi patrolled the city.

And in the north of Handan City Quliang, here stationed Zhang Chu army more than 50,000 troops, Zhang Chu army camp 100 miles, another three days away, you can reach Handan, for the attack on Handan, the military minister is extremely important, this will become the last barrier for him to gain a foothold in Zhao Di.

At this time, in the camp, a scout who had just returned from Hanoi was making a report to everyone: "Zhou Wenshuai's army of 400,000 people, after breaking through the Hangu Pass, marched all the way west, no one could stop it, and the momentum was extremely huge, but when they went to the theater, Zhang Han, the general of the Qin army, led an army of 400,000 to break Zhou Wen in the theater, and Zhou Wen's army was defeated. ”

Hearing this, Wu Chen asked, "Where is Zhou Wenjun stationed at this time?" ”

"No news yet." The scout shook his head and said, Wu Chen waved his hand, and the scout left, at this time, Zhang Er sighed: "Wu Xinjun, we are in trouble this time. ”

Zhang Er deliberately made the atmosphere more solemn and attracted the attention of the military minister, at this time, the military minister was surprised: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Zhang Er pretended to think, got up and paced in the tent, and soon, he shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The king once asked us to send troops to the west, echoing with Zhou Wen, but we are in love with Zhao Di, and we are reluctant to go west, and now that Zhou Wen is defeated, the king will inevitably put the responsibility on us, and when the time comes, we will be in great trouble!" ”

Wu Chen was taken aback, he hadn't thought about this problem, yes, Zhou Wen was defeated, although the responsibility was not on himself, would Chen Sheng think so?

At this moment, Zhang Er said again: "Wu Xinjun needs to make plans early. ”

Wuchen was silent, he didn't say a word, Zhang Er didn't say anything, he returned to his place and sat down, at this moment, he was thinking about another thing in his heart, an extremely important thing, that is, how to lead Wuchen out of Zhang Chuguo and support Zhao Zili.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Er will deliberately make the matter more serious, although Zhang Er knows very well that Chen Sheng will not blame Wuchen for this, after all, Wuchen is not what it used to be at this time, but how to keep Wuchen away from the court situation and let himself and Chen Yu gain a foothold in Zhao Di, this is the real reason why they asked for orders to go north in the first place.

But now, it is not the time, Zhang Er knows very well in his heart, after all, Wuchen has not yet reached the step of self-reliance, and the difficulty of that step is on Handan City, as long as this city is taken, Zhang Er believes that he has absolute strength and persuades Wuchen to be self-reliant.

Just when Zhang Er was thinking about his little Jiujiu, Chen Yu opened his mouth and said: "Wu Xinjun, I also heard that Wu Guang has been defeated by Li You many times since he went north to fight // Xingyang, and he has never been able to take Xingyang. ”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Er, and both of them smiled knowingly, at this time, Chen Yu continued: "Moreover, I heard that Zhou Shi led the army to Wei Di, and there were more than 20 large and small battles, and it was also a success, I heard that they have marched eastward, I think, they must value Qi land, and want to attack Qi first, and then Wei, if this is the case, in the near future, Chen Sheng will definitely kill Zhou City and collect its military power, Wu Xinjun may as well wait and see." ”

This sentence was like a sharp blade, deeply stabbing the Wuchen, but the Wuchen did not dare to show the horror on his face, that would affect the morale of the army, and it would also let everyone see his cowardice, at this time, the Wuchen had to sigh lightly, looked at Zhang Er, Chen Yu and Kuaiche and others, and sighed: "Take Handan first, and then we will think about countermeasures." ”

Everyone sang a promise, and at this time, the military minister gave an order to several generals: "Order the three armies, set off tomorrow and march to Handan." ”

。。。。。。

The roaring war drums echoed in every corner of Handan City, and under the city, it was tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhang Chu's army, they lined up neatly, their armor was bright, and their weapons were sharp, and they surrounded Handan City, just waiting for the order to attack.

On the city tower, the county guard Shan Weiyi was pacing back and forth anxiously, he had heard that the strength of Wuchen's soldiers and horses was greatly shocked, with tens of thousands of soldiers, but he didn't expect that Wuchen's troops were so powerful at this time, and he didn't expect that they had transitioned from a bandit army to an elite regular army.

But the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it, Shan Weiyi has to bite the bullet and fight this battle.

In any case, we must persevere, Shan Weiyi firmly believes that after Zhang Han defeats Zhou Wen, he will inevitably come to relieve the siege of Handan, otherwise, Handan will be lost, and Hebei will no longer be owned by Daqin.

Just when Shan Weiyi was pondering, under the city tower, a low horn suddenly sounded, the horn sound was like the roar of a dragon, shocking everyone's heart, at this time, there was a shout of killing from the city tower, and then Zhang Chujun began to attack the city.

Under the city, tens of thousands of infantry carried the ladder, bravely forward, rushed to Handan City, the wide moat became their biggest obstacle, but Zhang Chujun used part of the ladder, plus wooden planks, successfully paved a bridge, on the bridge, Zhang Chujun continued to rush forward, after half a pillar of incense, a cloud ladder on the head of Handan City.

Groups of soldiers holding round shields, brandishing bronze swords, climbing upward, on the city tower, the Qin generals roared anxiously, the Qin army shot arrows hard, and the bed crossbow aimed into the distance to block the impact of the second wave of Zhang Chu's army.

The rolling wood and thunder stones were thrown down one after another, and the boiling gold juice was poured down the city, and a terrible cry sounded, but this could not stop Zhang Chujun's footsteps in attacking the city, and they still persistently climbed upward.

A pole Changge, the halberd stabbed down from the battlements, some unsuspecting Zhang Chujun was stabbed, screaming and falling down the tower, the soldiers of the Qin army took the opportunity to use Changge to open the ladder, boom, the ladder fell to the ground.

But soon, the second ladder was erected in the original position, and Zhang Chujun still insisted on climbing up, and at this time, the corpses under the city tower were all over the field.

At the west gate, in an inconspicuous place, the earthen wall was loose, and a Qin soldier had just picked up the stones, ready to throw them, when suddenly, the city wall rumbled down, and with a scream, dozens of Qin soldiers fell under the city.

And at the east gate, the war was equally tragic, a Qin soldier picked up a stone, just poked his head out, a feathered arrow shot, shot from his eyeball, he screamed and fell down the tower.

At the north gate, Zhang Chujun has broken through the defense line, groups of soldiers jumped on the city, the Qin army held a halberd, stabbed at Zhang Chujun, but Zhang Chujun did not show weakness, they were under the cover of archers, rushed forward, Xiao general Li Liang was the first soldier, slashing every Qin soldier, soon, a pole Qin army flag was pulled out // out, thrown down the city tower, groups of Zhang Chujun jumped up again, joined the battle, and put Zhang Chujun's banner all over every battlement.

After a few hours, the military minister, who had been watching the battle from a distance, thought that the time was ripe, and he turned around and shouted: "Victory or defeat is here, soldiers, follow me to kill all the Qin troops!" ”

"Kill......"

。。。。。。

The war was fought from day to night, and from night to dawn, at this time, thick smoke billowed out, and every inch of Handan City burned with flames, and the fire engulfed every corpse, emitting a scorching smell that made people smell sick.

In the county guard's mansion, Wu Chen led the strategists and generals to sit high, and below, several Zhang Chujun escorted Shan Weiyi into the lobby, Wu Chen looked at Shan Weiyi with a cruel smile, and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

"Don't fall!" Shan Weiyi said categorically, until this moment, his heart was stable, it seemed that he had seen through everything, through the indifference of this world, and through life and death.

Above, Wu Chen no longer persuaded him, he coldly ordered: "Pull it out and cut it!" ”

Shan Weiyi was taken down, Wu Chen closed his eyes slightly at this time, and poked his hand on his temples, after a night of fierce fighting, Wu Chen was extremely tired, at this time, Zhang Er on the side got up and said: "Wu Xinjun, this is not the time to rest, I have something important to tell you." ”

Wu Chen beat his spirits, looked at Zhang Er, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, please speak." ”

Zhang Er nodded, and walked a few steps in the lobby, also to wake up his mind, at this time, he suddenly said: "Since ancient times, the merit has been high, although the general is breezy and sitting on one side today, but in the near future, the general will definitely be recalled to the imperial court and executed for all kinds of unnecessary crimes!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Er turned his head to look at Wu Chen, Wu Chen was also stunned by Zhang Er's sudden topic, and after a while, Wu Chen realized that he was out of shape, he coughed dryly, and said in surprise: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

"Wu Xinjun is on one side, will Chen Sheng be at peace in his heart? I'm afraid that as soon as the report of Wu Xinjun's conquest of Handan comes back, Chen Sheng will be eager to summon Wu Xinjun back to Chen County to report on his work, at that time, with just one sentence, he can get rid of Wu Xinjun's military power, and he has been secretly executed for the crime of treason! ”

Zhang Er's words carried a lot of weight, and the military ministers were a little busy, at this time, Zhang Er said again: "Now that the land of Zhao has been decided, why don't Wu Xinjun take the opportunity to stand on his own, proclaim himself King of Zhao, and support the army?" ”

"This is a rebellion, and it will lose the morale of the army!" Wu Chen sighed, but Zhang Er laughed and said: "We still surrender to Zhang Chu, but nominally self-reliant, at this time the Qin State is not destroyed, Wu Xinjun only needs to report to Chen Sheng about establishing himself as the king, Chen Sheng will not dare to embarrass you." ”

Zhang Er's words, in the end, said to move the military ministers, the military ministers made a decision, in Handan outside the altar to be named the king of Zhao, Zhang Er as the right prime minister, Shao Sao as the left prime minister, Chen Yu as the general, ordered Han Guang Luoyan, Li Liang slightly Changshan, Zhang Wei slightly to the party, and has reported the name of the victory, sent a letter to Chen Sheng, reporting the matter of being the king.
