Chapter 1012: East becomes West (5)

The drums rumbled, and another round of attack began. Watching teams of Qin troops singing war songs out loudly among the drums, the Han army on the city tower couldn't help but admire the other party's fighting will. These days, the Qin army was killed and injured under the city of Shannan County, but no matter how many casualties were, it seemed that they could not affect their desire for victory when they launched an attack again. Whenever the war drum sounded, they began to attack again with confidence.

Qian Kezhuang, who was lying on the bed like a dead dog, jumped up like a chicken blood, bent down and picked up a crossbow arrow from the ground, inserted it into the crossbow machine, then turned the winch and twisted the crossbow arrow tightly.

"The Qin people raised by the bitch are really not afraid of death!" He snorted. When Liaoning Guards fought with the Donghu people, they were also known as the strong army in the world. If they encountered such tragic casualties, they would have long since left with a slap in their wars.

"The Qin people are rich and poor, and the people have extremely limited room for the rise. Military merits are the most convenient way for them to change their living situation. The Qin army's military merits are calculated based on how many heads are killed. How many heads are counted as one merit, and they must be recorded, so they are not afraid of death at all, not afraid of death." Shang Kexi looked at the big knife in his hand, which had a lot of holes collapsed, raised his hand and threw it away, and called the soldiers to take him a new knife.

"Prepare the crossbow!" Shang Kexi ordered

"Brothers, aim at the point, one arrow at a time, Qian Kezhuang shouted. The Shannan Camp he led is now acting as a crossbowman and conducting long-range strikes on the enemy. When the Qin army carried their shooting and launched a battle to climb the city, it would change to the regular army to fight with the enemy. Although these militia reserves have usually conducted military training, they have never fought or seen blood after all. If they were asked to fight in hand and blades from the beginning, they would probably suffer a lot of losses.

Shang Kexi was very careful when using these reserves, but it was particularly effective. These days, these reserve soldiers have gradually become accustomed to the scene of flesh and blood flying, and no one will see the dripping blood, the flying broken limbs, the tummy and intestines all over the ground, and even the bitter gallbladder water is spit out. Now they can hold steamed buns in one hand and serve vegetable soup in the other hand, and swallow the corpses all over the ground.

"Shoot!" With a collapse, Qian Keqiang pulled the plate machine violently, and the crossbow shot out. A Qin general riding on a horse was waving his flag with great force. He fell down with a loud bang.

"Go to one!" Qian Kezhuang laughed, and as he shot out the arrow, countless arrows shot out like locusts on the city wall, and rushed straight to the Qin army under the city.

The armor-breaking ability of Han crossbow arrows is too strong. Whether it is a bed crossbow or an arm-opening crossbow, their iron-packed wooden shields held by soldiers cannot compete with them. Almost the arrows are broken. Only a large shield that is more than one person tall can block the attack of the Han army's feather arrows.

Although Qin crossbow is extremely outstanding in this world, it is obviously more than one inferior to the military industry of the Han Dynasty.

"Prepare the grease and set the fire!" Shang Kexi said

Shield chariots rushed under the city wall. With the sound of cloud ladders, they stepped on the city wall. The soldiers of Shannan Camp quickly retreated, and from behind them, soldiers carrying pots rushed up and slapped the things in their hands.

"Rocket!" The soldiers of Shannan Camp who retreated to the rear rushed up again, but this time, clusters of small fires were burning on the arrows shot from their hands.

With the sound of whizzing, a raging fire rose up, and the ignited flames made the Han army on the city feel the heat waves. How did the Qin army under the city feel? Naturally, it is obvious that it is not a question.

It was difficult to stop when the fire burned, because there were too many corpses piled up under the city, but the smell was too bad. The smell of flesh drifted all over the flames. But when you think about it, it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The Qin army slowly retreated, but the fire was still burning. The soldiers in the city wet the towels and tied them to their faces. It seems that the Qin army will not attack again. There is no one in the fire for a moment, and it will definitely burn it. It’s a pity that these Qin army corpses can never return to their hometown.

In the Qin army camp, Wang Xiao looked anxious, his fingers pressed on the map, and he often followed a line and tried his best to lure Feng Fayong out of Shannan County City, and he could not get rid of it. He originally thought that if this was the case, it would be no problem to take down Shannan County City. Shang Kexi, who was unknown, did not even put it in his eyes. But now, this unknown general has blocked him firmly under the city for more than ten days.

"How long will it take?" He walked around the big tent like a trapped beast several times, looking up at the generals in the tent glaring.

"General, according to the news from Hei Bingtai, the Oriental Field Army of Helanxiong, Daijun has set out. Within ten days, they will leave Daijun."

"Ten days?" Wang Xiao's face gradually became ferocious, "Okay, I'll give you five days now. After five days, I can't get down to Shannanjun City. The king wants my head, so I'll chop your head first."

"Abide by the order!" The generals bowed together to receive the order.

"Everything is done!" Wang Xiao waved his hand irritatedly.

This battle against Han, the plan formulated by King Wulie of Qin himself is definitely comparable to that of the war that defeated the Huns ten years ago, one by one, but if one of them had problems, the entire strategy would end in failure. For this battle, King Wulie of Qin ceded Han to Chu, and sent the interests of Qi to Chu, and used four generals, Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Xiao, Lu Chao, and King Wulie of Qin was determined to win.

But if the final result of his battle here was to destroy Feng Fayong's 20,000 Shannan County soldiers, then the entire strategy would be bankrupt.

Ten years ago, Wang Xiao was so energetic that in the battle of Huolan Mountain, he killed tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry in one go, and his reputation was fierce all over the world. But today, he was actually blocked by the Shannan County City built by the Qin people himself. Although Shannan County City has been changed beyond recognition by the Han army over the years, in Wang Xiao's eyes, this is still the Shannan County City of Qin people.

This was once a famous place for his reputation. Could it be his own failure? Thinking of this, Wang Xiao was even more upset and kicked the big case in the tent to the ground.

The guards outside heard that Wang Xiao, who had always been quiet, were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear that the angry coach would vent their anger on him.

The main goal of the Qin people in this battle was not Feng Fayong from Shannan County, but the Han Army Oriental Field Army led by Helanxiong

But now, this goal is on the verge of failure because Shannan County City has been unable to be won.

Wang Xiao’s first step in his mission was to lure Feng Fayong and seize the city of Shannan County. During this process, Helanxiong, who was stationed in Dai County, must come to rescue him after hearing the news. What the Qin people wanted was Helanxiong to lead his troops to leave Xiling City, the capital of Dai County.

In the second step, Wang Xiao’s mission was to block Helanxiong in Dai County. However, at this time, under the plan of King Wulie of Qin, Xiling City, the capital of Dai County, should have been in the hands of the Qin army. Helanxiong will be blocked in Dai County, and will not be able to become the on-the-trade food of several Qin troops.

But if Shannan County can't take it, everything will be in vain

"Father!" As soon as the tent was lifted, Wang Jian walked in, "I came back with food and grass. This time, I collected another 20,000 civilians from Jiuyuan County to come together."

"Well, it's been as good as yesterday along the way," Wang Xiao asked.

"It's still going well," Wang Jian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Father, General Li Xin has already started to act. The 100,000 troops have already attacked Dai County through Hedong County, and the soldiers of Dai County were taken away by Helanxiong. General Li Xin's move is probably unstoppable. But if we do not block Helanxiong in Dai County, but let them leave Dai County, they can retreat to the grassland and even retreat to Jishi City. In this way, the plan we designed before the war to annihilate the Han Eastern Field Army and cut off Gaoyuan's arm will be completely impossible to implement."

"I know" Wang Xiao closed his eyes

"Father, if the king cannot fulfill the king's requirements this time, I'm afraid the king will be really angry." Wang Jian whispered. "Father, even if we use our lives to pile up, we must pile up to Shannanjun City. This time I brought 20,000 civilians..."

"Hurry-seeking will not be achieved. Shannan County City has been run by Feng Fayong for several years. The city has sufficient arrows and crossbows, and there is no food and grass. There are tens of thousands of trained infantry guarding the city. We surrounded and killed Feng Fayong, but Shang Kexi in the city did not send troops to rescue him. It has laid the root of disaster for today. Chip, you personally inspect and let the 20,000 civilians cut trees for me and build siege cars. One hundred siege cars that are level with the city walls. At that time, I will use their bodies to pile up the same height tomorrow morning. I will see these siege cars and break the city, and it will be tomorrow." Wang Xiao stood up. "As you said, even if you use corpses, I have to take down Shannan County City."

"I understand my father!" Wang Jian gave a gift, turned around and left the tent

On the border of Hedong County, Li Xin looked at Zhao Qi in front of him indifferently, "Mr. Zhao, happy cooperation!" He stretched out his hand and looked at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with anger and stared at Li Xin fiercely, "I don't believe you Qin people."

"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. What's important is that now our strength can destroy you, Zhao State at any time, whether to make a way out, fight Han State with us, or destroy it immediately. I think Lord Zhao must have a plan in his mind. If hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin attack your Zhao State now, would you say Gao Gao come to save you?" Li Xin said lightly: "Yes, maybe we will still fight you in the future, but the important thing is that you are still alive now. As long as you are alive, there is hope and hope to turn defeat into victory. Maybe we will suffer both defeats with Han State, and you will have a chance, right?"

The flickering anger in Zhao Qi's eyes dimmed a little bit, and after a while, he said: "Jing Rufeng is so cruel. He is cruel to us, Zhao State, and even more cruel to himself."

Li Xin remained silent

Zhao Qi slowly reached out and held Li Xin's hand. The other party's hand was cold and gently held both hands. Zhao Qi turned around and looked at Zhao Jun behind him, "Give up!"

Li Xin smiled slightly and turned over the horse. The Qin army crossed Hedong County, entered Shanggu, crossed Shanggu County, and then went straight to Dai County. I am afraid that the Dai County people would never dream of the Qin army passing through Shanggu, which was still controlled by the Zhao army, and attacked them directly (to be continued...)
