I’m The King Chapter 1012: : East to West (5)
The drums are rumbling, and another round of attack has begun. Watching teams of Qin troops marching out high-spiritedly singing battle songs amidst the sound of drums, the Han troops on the towers can't help but admire the opponent's will to fight. Over the past few days, the Qin army has suffered many casualties under the city of Shannan County, but no matter how heavy the casualties are, it seems that they cannot affect their desire for victory when they launch an attack again. Whenever the drums of war sound, they start again with confidence attack.
Qian Kezhuang, who was lying on the crossbow trigger on the bed like a dead dog just now, jumped up like a chicken blood, bent down to pick up a crossbow bolt from the ground, inserted the crossbow trigger, and then He turned the capstan and tightened the crossbow.
"The son of a son of a bitch, the people of Qin are really not afraid of death!" Seeing such tragic casualties, the horses would have already slapped away.
"The state of Qin is rich and the people are poor, and the space for ordinary people to rise is extremely limited, and military merit is the most convenient way for them to change their living conditions. A meritorious service 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, there were many holes in it, he raised his hand and threw the knife away , calling the soldiers to bring him a new knife.
"Bow and crossbow ready!" Shang Kexi ordered.
"Brothers, aim at the point, one arrow at a time." Qian Kezhuang hissed. When going to the city to fight, they will change to the regular army to fight the enemy. Although these militia reserve soldiers have been trained in military affairs, they have never fought in battle and have never seen blood. It will be big.
Shang Kexi was very careful when using these reserves, but it was extremely effective. These days, these reserve soldiers have gradually become accustomed to the scenes of blood and blood, and no one will see the dripping blood. Blood, broken limbs flying across the floor, intestines that flowed all over the floor and even gallbladder were vomited out. Now they can hold steamed buns in one hand and vegetable soup in the other without changing their faces and heartbeats, and face the people full of blood. and swallowed the corpse of the earth.
"Shoot!" With a bang, Qian Kezhuang pulled the trigger fiercely, and the crossbow bolt shot out, and a Qin army general who was riding a horse and was waving a flag vigorously fell off his horse with a sound.
"Zhongyi!" Qian Kezhuang laughed loudly, and following his arrow shot, countless feathered arrows shot out like locusts on the city wall, heading straight for the Qin army below the city.
The armor-piercing ability of the crossbows of the Han Dynasty is too strong. Whether it is a bed crossbow or an arm crossbow, the iron-clad wooden shields held by their soldiers are completely unable to compete with them. A large shield as high as a person can block the attack of the Han army's feather arrows.
Although the Qin Nu is considered excellent in this world, it is obviously inferior to the military industry of the Han State.
"Prepare the oil and set it on fire!" Shang Kexi said.
Shield chariots and Mengchong chariots rushed under the city wall, and the ladder clattered and climbed onto the city wall. The soldiers of the Shannan Camp retreated quickly, and from behind them, soldiers with pots in their hands rushed up, The things in my hand were thrown down fiercely.
"Rocket!" The soldiers of the Shannan camp who retreated to the rear rushed up again, but this time the arrows they shot were all lit with clusters of small flames.
Amidst the sound of swishing, a raging fire rose up, and the ignited flames could make the Han army on the city feel the heat wave. It is natural to know how the Qin army under the city feels.
When the fire started, it was difficult to stop, because there were too many corpses piled up under the city, but the smell was too bad, and the smell of meat wafted along with the flames, but thinking that it was human flesh, one couldn't help but feel People feel very uncomfortable.
The Qin army retreated slowly, but the fire was still burning. The soldiers in the city wet their towels and tied them on their faces. It seems that the Qin army will not come to attack again today. There is no one to stop the fire Three quarters will never be burned. It's a pity that these corpses of the Qin army will never return to their hometown.
In the camp of the Qin Army, Wang Xiao's face was anxious, and he pressed his fingers on the map, scribing along a line from time to time. He tried his best to lure Feng Fayong out of Shannan County City, and wiped him out in one fell swoop. , Originally thought that in this way, it would be no problem to win the Shannan County City, and the little-known Shang Kexi didn't even pay attention to him, but now, this little-known general has firmly blocked him. I have been in the city for more than ten days.
"How long is it? How long is it?" He walked around the big tent several times like a trapped animal, looking up at the generals in the tent.
"General, according to Black Ice Terrace, Daijun He Lanxiong's Eastern Field Army has already set off, and within ten days, they will leave Daijun."
"Ten days?" Wang Xiao's face gradually turned ferocious, "Well, I will give you five days now, and if you still can't take down Shannan County City after five days, the king wants my head, I will chop it off first Blow your heads."
"Obey!" The generals all bowed to accept the order.
"Get ready!" Wang Xiao waved his hands irritably.
The plan drawn up by King Qin Wulie himself for this battle against the Han is definitely comparable to that of ten years ago, when the Huns were destroyed forever. If something goes wrong, the whole strategy will end in failure. For this war, King Wulie of Qin spared no effort to cede Han land to Chu State, and also sent the interests of Qi State to Chu State, using four generals, Li Xin, Meng Tian, Wang Xiao, Lu Chao, and Qin Wulie are bound to win.
But if the final result of my battle here is to annihilate Feng Fayong's 20,000 Shan Nanjun soldiers, then the whole grand strategy will go bankrupt.
Ten years ago, how high-spirited Wang Xiao was. In the battle at Huolan Mountain, he slaughtered tens of thousands of Hun cavalry in one go, and his reputation became famous all over the world. But today, the Shannan County City was built by the Qin people themselves. Blocked from the outside. Although the Han army has changed the city of Shannan County beyond recognition over the years, in Wang Xiao's eyes, this place is still Shannan County City of the Qin people.
Here, once a place where he was famous and famous, is he going to become a place where he failed? Thinking of this, Wang Xiao became even more irritable, and even kicked the big case in the account. Kicked to the ground.
When the guards outside heard that Wang Xiao, who had always been calm, lost his temper so much, they were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear that the furious coach would take the anger out on him.
The most important target of the Qin people in this battle was not Feng Fayong of Shannan County, but the Eastern Field Army of the Han Army led by He Lanxiong.
But now, this goal is on the verge of failure due to the delay in taking Shannan County City.
The first step of Wang Xiao's task is to trap and kill Feng Fayong and capture the city of Shannan County. Xiling City, the county capital.
As for the second step, Wang Xiao's task is to block He Lanxiong within Dai Commandery, but at this time, according to King Qin Wulie's plan, Xiling City, the capital of Dai Commandery, should already be in the hands of the Qin Army. Being blocked in Dai County, unable to advance or retreat, it became a meal for Qin's army.
But Shannan County can't take it, everything is in vain.
"Father!" With the big tent lifted, Wang Jian strode in, "I escorted the food and grass back, and this time I recruited another 20,000 people from Jiuyuan County to come with me."
"Well, the journey went smoothly?" Wang Xiao asked.
"It's going well," Wang Jian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Father, General Li Xin has already started to move, and the 100,000 troops have already passed through Hedong County and went straight to Dai County, and Dai County Half of the county soldiers were taken away by He Lanxiong, General Li Xin's move, I'm afraid it will be overwhelming, but if we don't block He Lanxiong in Daijun, but let them out of Daijun, They can retreat to the prairie, or even to Jishi City, so that the plan we designed before the war to annihilate the Eastern Field Army of Han in one fell swoop and cut off the high and far-reaching arm will be completely impossible to implement."
"I know." Wang Xiao closed his eyes.
"Father, if you can't fulfill the king's request this time, I'm afraid the king will really be angry." Wang Jian said in a low voice. The 20,000 civilian husbands I brought..."
"Haste makes waste. Shannan County City has been run by Feng Fayong for several years. There are plenty of arrows and crossbows in the city, food and grass are safe, and there are tens of thousands of well-trained infantry guarding the city. When we besieged and killed Feng Fayong, the city Shang Kexi did not send troops to rescue, it has already planted the root of disaster for today, Jianer, you supervise it yourself, let the 20,000 civilians cut down trees for me, build siege vehicles, one hundred siege vehicles that are level with the city wall , one short, and I will use their corpses to pile up to the same height. Tomorrow morning, I want to see these siege vehicles, break the city, and tomorrow.” Wang Xiao stood up, “As you said , Even with the pile of corpses, I have to take down Shannan County City."
"Understood father!" Wang Jian gave a salute, turned around and left the tent.
At the border of Hedong County, Li Xin looked at Zhao Qi indifferently, "Master Zhao, happy cooperation!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with anger, and he stared at Li Xin fiercely, "I don't believe you Qin people."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What's important is that our current strength can destroy your Zhao country at any time. Should we make way and fight with us to fight the Han country, or perish immediately? I think Mr. Zhao will definitely know I have a plan, if my Qin army with hundreds of thousands of troops attacks your Zhao country, do you think Gao Gao will come to rescue you?" Li Xin said indifferently: "Yes, maybe we will still attack you in the future, but the important thing is Yes, you are still alive now, as long as you are alive, there is hope, the hope of turning defeat into victory, maybe we will lose both sides in a fight with Han, and you will have a chance, right?"
The anger flickering in Zhao Qi's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said after a while: "Jing Rufeng is really ruthless, he is ruthless to us Zhao Guo, and he is even more ruthless to himself."
Li Xin is silent.
Zhao Qi stretched out his hand slowly, and held Li Xin's hand, the other's hand was icy cold. With a light shake of both hands, Zhao Qi turned around, looked at Zhao Jun behind him, "Get out of the way!"
Li Xin smiled slightly and got on his horse. The Qin army crossed Hedong County, entered Shanggu, crossed Shanggu County, and then reached Dai County. I am afraid that the people of Dai County would never have imagined that Qin Army would pass through and still be controlled by Zhao Jun. Control Shanggu and attack them directly. (To be continued)
