May 15, the twelfth year of the reign of King Qin.

On the ground, the Qin-Qi coalition army bravely charged towards Handan City.

In the sky, large flying stones were thrown into the sky, and then fell heavily towards the city wall, shaking Handan City for a while.

"Go first! Charge! ”

"Flying stone car, smash!"

"Ah!! The city fell!! ”

A section of the city wall in the east of Handan City finally could no longer withstand the heavy blow of the flying stone, and broke apart from the middle.

The rammed earth walls in the upper part collapsed!

The defenders who stood on the city fell to the ground with a scream, and were crushed to minced flesh by rammed earth and stones.

Ying Chengcheng ordered without hesitation: "Order!" Du Wei Tian Dan and Du Wei Tian Heng immediately led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to seize the city along the gap in the East City! ”

Tian Dan shouted excitedly: "Robes, take the city!" ”

"In the first department, everyone will be rewarded with twenty sword coins!"

"Those who enter Handan first, don't talk about life and death, reward 100 knife coins!"

The eyes of the Qi army lit up and shouted: "Take the city!" ”

The two armies quickly diverted their route and rushed towards the gap in the eastern city.

Le Cheng shouted and ordered: "Immediately block the city wall with a Saimen knife car!" ”

"Order the crossbowmen of the two divisions of C and D and the new force to be transferred to Dongcheng, target the Qin army outside the city, and shoot them!"

As soon as Tian Dan and Tian Heng climbed the half of the city wall with the help of a ladder, a knife cart with a plugged door had already pushed a gap along the collapsed earthen wall.

What greeted the Qin-Qi coalition army was no longer a gap, but a long knife with a cold light hunting handle and a crossbow arrow that covered the clouds and the sun!

If Su Jiao and Wang Bo were here, the two would definitely accelerate immediately, taking advantage of the fact that the sword car defense line had not yet been fully formed, to personally break through the enemy formation and break into the city.

However, Tian Dan and Tian Heng showed the reaction that normal soldiers should have.

Faced with a dense barrage of long knives and crossbow arrows, they hesitated.

If you hesitate, you will lose!

Seeing this, Ying Chengcheng shook his head helplessly, and immediately changed the order: "Order!" Tian Dan and Tian Heng retreated. ”

"Order the baggage battalion to transfer ten catapults, and target the gap in the eastern city wall."

"Shoot endlessly!"

"Ben Jiang wants to see if he has more knife carts in Handan City, or if Ben will have more stone bullets made from local materials!"

Tian Dan and Tian Heng quickly retreated, and the long knives on the Saimen knife car looked around blankly, but the wooden skeleton supporting the long knives was smashed by stone bullets one after another!

Each accurately dropped stone projectile could destroy at least one Saimen knife cart, and it was further weakening the soil layer at the breach, constantly expanding the passage for the Qin-Qi coalition army to enter the city.

Le Cheng frowned, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let the people carry the soil on the wall, pour the soil and stone into the knife car, and ram the door knife car as the wall." ”

"And then with the knife car stacked, ramming endlessly!"

"Open the north gate and order Captain Huang Gao to lead his troops and horses out of the city to involve the enemy!"

"Send another herald to the king, the eastern city has been broken, all the cities are in danger, my department can only hold on to the city wall for three more days at most, and then we should use the fortifications in the city to fight and retreat."

"Please decide immediately whether you want to defend Handan Palace or abandon the city and flee!"

After the order, Le Cheng looked at Ying Chengcheng who was standing outside the city, and his eyes were full of heaviness.

More than half a month of attacking and defending the city has smoothed out Lecheng's arrogance, and also made Lecheng understand that he not only lacks a chance to take command, but also has an obvious gap compared to the generals in the first gear in the world.

He didn't know how long Handan City could hold out under his command, he only wished that he would hold on a little longer, so as not to lose his uncle's prestige!

As if sensing Lecheng's gaze, Ying Chengcheng also looked up in the direction of Lecheng.

Holding the reins in his left hand, Ying Cheng's right wrist was on the back of his left hand, his four fingers were connected to the horse's neck, frowning and muttering: "Why don't you send the second batch of lobbyists?" ”

"The fact that the general rejected Mao Sui's lobbying does not mean that the general will not accept the peace talks!"

"Ben will show this to the outside world that he is a careerist who can't wait to ascend to the throne and succeed to the throne, and it is really the right thing to resolutely refuse the first lobbyist."

"But why don't you try it from multiple directions and angles?"

"Try more, Ben will agree!"

"What the hell is King Zhao thinking?!"

"Is he waiting for Zhao Wu Anjun to come to help?"

"But if Zhao Wu'an Jun arrives, my Great Qin General Jian should also lead my Great Qin main force to arrive!"

"What the hell did he think!!"

Lecheng's estimate of the battle situation is not optimistic.

Ying Cheng's estimate of the battle situation is even less optimistic.

Because Ying Chengcheng knew very well that the Qi army in his hand was not a soldier and horse that could fight a tough battle, and their ability to hold on until now was entirely due to the temptation of heavy rewards, the encouragement of the Qin army, and the victory of successive battles.

With the passage of time and the sacrifice of the robe, Ying Chengcheng could clearly feel the sharp decline of the Qi army's fighting spirit.

But if King Zhao does not surrender one day, Ying Chengcheng can only attack endlessly, lest King Zhao have a fluke heart, and then he is unwilling to surrender or make peace.

If Ying Chengcheng still maintains the current intensity of attack, maybe in three or five days, this army will be completely defeated, and it will collapse at the first touch.

Before Li Mu and Wang Jian arrived at the battlefield, Ying Chengcheng was about to be turned over by Lecheng against the wind!

But it shouldn't be like this!

In Ying Chengcheng's prediction, Zhao Wangyan should have been eagerly seeking peace!

"Boss!"

A scout rode his horse and galloped over, bowed weakly in front of Ying Cheng, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhao Wu Anjun was divided into pieces in Taihang Mountain, and his troops were divided into nine roads. ”

"Some of the soldiers and horses were scattered in Taihang, and some of the soldiers and horses returned to Zhaodi."

"However, Zhao Wu Anjun sent a large number of scouts to intercept our army scouts."

"How many soldiers and horses in Zhao Wu Anjun's department stayed in Taihang, and how many soldiers and horses returned to Zhao Land, we have not yet found out!"

Ying Chengcheng hurriedly said: "Husband, get the wine!" ”

"Let's warm up with some wine first."

"Eight husbands, take Kun Yutu!"

The slightly sweet liquor was poured into the throats, nourishing the scouts' parched throats and providing some energy to their weak bodies.

Only then did Ying Chengcheng display the Kunyu map in front of the scouts and said: "Mark the distribution of the Zhao army's troops that you know on the Kunyu map." ”

The scout hurriedly pointed his finger at Kun Yutu: "According to our investigation." ”

"There is a Zhao army in Changzhi, there is a Zhao army in Jingcheng, and the flying fox is ......"

As the scout pointed and pointed, a map of the distribution of troops also appeared in Ying Chengcheng's mind.

Ying Chengyun finally showed a smile: "Although I don't know why King Zhao is reluctant to communicate with Ben General, but fortunately, there is still someone in Zhao who can communicate." ”

"What Zhao Wu Anjun said won the general's heart!"

Tian Jiao blinked, and looked at Ying Chengyun in confusion: "Does Zhao Wu Anjun have a summons for the boss?" ”

Ying Cheng's finger tapped Kunyutu: "Facts speak louder than words." ”

"This troop distribution map is the news of Zhao Wu Anjun's biography and the general!"

Seeing that Tian Jiao was still confused, Meng Wu patiently explained: "If Zhao Wu Anjun leads all his troops all the way back to Handan, my Great Qin General Jian can lead my Great Qin main force to follow to Handan." ”

"At that time, it will be Zhao Wu Anjun who will lead more than 200,000 Zhao troops to fight against the main force of the 200,000 Qin army and 100,000 Qi troops led by my Great Qin General Jian and Great Qin Chang'an Jun Gong Cheng Cheng outside Handan City!"

"Zhao Guo will fall into an absolute disadvantage, and there is even a danger of losing the country!"

"Zhao Wu Anjun didn't want to do this, but he couldn't get in touch with King Zhao because of the siege of our army."

"Therefore, Zhao Wu Anjun landed part of his troops on Taihang Mountain, constituting a blocking position for my general Qian."

"He also ordered some troops to rush to Handan, posing a threat to your and my department."

"Deliberately let our scouts find out the location of the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, but did not allow our scouts to know the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, this is a declaration to our army."

"If our army resolutely does not retreat, the Zhao army will not hesitate to start a battle on both fronts in Taihang Mountain and Handan City!"

On the scout warfare of the plains and mountain battlefields, Wang Jian can't play Li Mu!

The scouts sent out by Ying Chengcheng could still find out such detailed information after traveling thousands of miles, it was obvious that Li Mu did it on purpose.

Li Mu didn't hand a word to Ying Chengcheng.

But the cards he deliberately opened have already expressed his intentions vividly.

Tian Kamen looked angry: "Zhao Wu Anjun is threatening our army?" ”

"Now that our army has the upper hand, how dare Zhao Wu Anjun threaten our army!"

Meng Wu shook his head: "This is not just a threat, but also a compromise. ”

"Zhao Wu Anjun's withdrawal from Neishi County and the construction of a position in Taihang Mountain were originally a compromise with my Great Qin."

"Zhao Wu Anjun is just warning our army not to bully people too much."

Then Meng Wu looked at Ying Chengcheng and said with a little encouragement: "Boss, do we want to withdraw our army?" ”

The problem discovered by Ying Chengcheng is also well known to Meng Wu.

The worries in Ying Chengcheng's heart, Meng Wu also knew a little bit about it.

If Ying Chengcheng has the intention to withdraw his troops, now is the best opportunity!

Sure enough, Ying Chengcheng did not hesitate, and could even be said to be impatient, and said: "Zhao Wu'an Jun is really not a good type. ”

"Now that Zhao Wu Anjun has withdrawn from the siege and is running, our army no longer has to be trapped in Handan City."

"Passing the book will order!"

"Mingjin, collect the troops!"

"After resting for the night, withdraw our troops to Thorn Pu City!"

Ying Chengcheng was almost moved to cry.

He was now like a swordsman with a sharp, brittle sword.

Knowing that the sword in his hand might collapse at any time, in order not to show his cowardice in front of the enemy, he continued to maintain the deterrence of the sword in his hand, but he still had to hold on to the confident fierce attack.

Now, Li Mu finally handed over a suitable reason to retreat.

How could you miss it!

Tian Jia hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Boss, the soldiers of our army still dare to fight!" You can still fight! ”

"Now that the outer city wall of Handan City has been broken, our army will definitely be able to win this battle before Zhao Wu Anjun's troops arrive in Handan!"

"The last general is going to fight!"

The corners of Ying Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

Can our army win this battle before the arrival of Li Musuo's troops?

How could Ben be so unbelieving!

However, Ying Chengcheng can also understand Tian Jiao's thoughts.

If this battle can be won, this battle will become the first great victory for the first time after the restoration of Qi to break through the capital of another country!

Although this battle was led by Ying Chengcheng, the main forces of this battle were all Qi troops, so how could it not be regarded as a victory for Qi State?

Although this victory cannot bring any substantial benefits to the Qi State, it can encourage the morale of the Qi Army, and it can make the future of all the generals participating in the war such as Tian Jiao go smoothly!

After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengcheng shook his head: "Our army can indeed continue to attack Handan City. ”

"But after our army breaks through Handan City, it will inevitably face the fight to the death under Zhao Wu Anjun's troops."

"Once the main force of my Great Qin is entangled by Zhao Wu Anjun, the Chu Shangzhu Kingdom is likely to take advantage of my Great Qin's lack of time to look east and go north to take Huaiyin!"

"This is not good for Qi Guoda!"

Tian was stunned.

Ying Chengcheng said this, it seems that there is nothing wrong!

Tian Jiao was unwilling to bow his hand: "It's the last general!" ”

Ying Chengcheng looked at Tian Jiao sincerely: "Although you and I have only been robed for a few months. ”

"The general deeply feels that Vice General Tian has the ability to govern the army, but he is trapped in the weakness of the Qi army, has nowhere to learn military strategy, and has no general to communicate, so he wastes his talent."

"Ben will sincerely invite Vice Tian to come to my Great Qin as a general."

"I wonder if Vice Admiral Tian is willing?"
