Chapter 190 Da Qin version of fear of insufficient firepower! Lao Deng, blast the gold coins!
Ten days later.
In Wu'an City, 50,000 Zhao soldiers guarded it.
In the south of Wu'an City, 200,000 Zhao troops, led by Hu Zuo, watched and helped each other with the force of Wu'an City.
In the west of Wu'an City, 200,000 Qin troops formed a military camp as solid as a mountain. Soldiers were constantly pouring out or returning to the camp, harassing the Zhao army like mosquitoes and flies.
Huan Yan stood on the command podium and spoke in a deep voice: "The strategy of Great Qin was seen through by Zhao."
Wang Jian nodded slightly: "King Yan of Zhao is not a wise king, but he is definitely not a coward."
“This person has some flaws in his character, such as being nostalgic, indecisive, lacking in personal ethics, and obsessed with men and women.”
“But King Zhao is not lacking in intelligence.”
“ It is only natural that our Great Qin strategy in this battle has been seen through.”
Wang Jian seldom spoke in the court, and his image in the court was also that of a fool and a rough-and-tumble man.
But in fact, Wang Jian is one of the very few generals in the world who can play well in the court.
Before going on the expedition, Wang Jian had already expected that he would face the main force of the Zhao army, and had already made preparations to fight the main force of Zhao with 200,000 Qin troops.
Huan Jue sighed softly: "Zhao General Huju led the main force of Zhao's army, but half of our army is under Xiuyu City."
"In this battle, Daqin has very few troops. ”
"I only hope that Lord Chang'an will come to help immediately after receiving the military order!"
Wang Jian smiled: "I thought that Lord Chang'an would not come to help."
Huan Yan's eyes were shocked: "How could General Wang have such an idea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of messengers rushed over, shouting: "General Cheng Yu's troops are rushing to report to the army and make way!"
< br>Quickly guiding the soldiers to the command podium, Huanjue opened the cloth bag and took out the bamboo slips.
After verifying the seal, Huan Jue cut open the mud seal, unfolded the bamboo slips, and recited in a deep voice: "The Zhao army increased its troops by 50,000 to rescue the Wei State. The above general Pang Nuan was the main general, and the general Qing She was the auxiliary. Together with Wei, he had 200,000 troops to guard Xiuyu City. "
"Since the battle, our army has killed more than 23,900 people and won more than 80,000 soldiers. The enemy has lost about 100,000 people. General Qingshe has been awarded the death penalty. "
"This. General Wang thinks that his troops are safe, so he will continue to lead the army to attack Xiuyu City, involve the Zhao army for the general, and has reported the follow-up strategy to the king."
"If General Wang needs it, I can. If you summon me again, I will immediately reinforce General Wang’s troops!”
“On the third day of the first month of the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the commander of the Qin army, Chang’an Jun”
Wang Jian looked surprised: "Facing Zhao General Pang Nuan, how can he gain 80,000 yuan with more than 20,000 battle losses?!"
"I wish I could talk to Lord Chang'an face to face and learn how Lord Chang'an is doing. Such results have been achieved!”
Wang Jian is the Qin general who knows Pang Nuan best.
The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the Fifth Battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin was Zhao General Pang Nuan, and the commander-in-chief of the Qin army was Wang Jian.
The two fought fiercely using the mainland of Guanhai as the battlefield. With Pang Nuan having an absolute advantage in troops, even Wang Jian was unable to parry.
Now Ying Chengyu actually won such a great victory at the hands of Pang Nuan? !
Even though Wang Jian has continuously raised his evaluation of Ying Chengyu due to the battle to destroy Han and the battle of Qinian Palace, Ying Chengyu's performance in this battle still far exceeded Wang Jian's expectations!
Huan Ye's eyes were stunned: "Knowing that our Great Qin plan has been defeated and the main force of the Zhao army has been transferred to Wu'an, the Lord of Chang'an is still unwilling to join the Zhao battlefield, and even continues to attack Xiuyu City?"
“Why is this!”
Huan Jue’s focus is different from Wang Jian’s.
For Wei Qi and Wei State, the battle of Xiuyu City is very important.
This is the only important city between Daliang City and Daqin.
If Xiuyu City falls, Wei will have no choice but to move its capital, or let the capital face the Qin army!
But for Da Qin, and even for Zhao State, the battle of Xiuyu City was not important.
Da Qin hoped to involve the Zhao army through the battle of Xiuyu City.
Zhao Guo hoped to draw back the Qin army's strength through the battle of Xiuyu City.
Judging from the current war situation, Qin fell into Zhao's trap.
Ying Chengyu won at the tactical level.
But Da Qin was defeated at the strategic level!
In Huanjue's view, Ying Chengyu should immediately increase the number of troops on Zhao's battlefield, allowing Da Qin to form a superior force in Zhao and accelerate its advance.
Why do both Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu want to let Ying Chengyu's troops continue to attack Xiuyu City?
Wang Jian smiled: "Because the Lord of Chang'an can see clearly, the State of Zhao must not sit back and watch the Kingdom of Wei perish."
"The State of Zhao seems to have held back the Lord of Chang'an with 50,000 troops. The 200,000 Qin troops under his command "But if Chang'an conquers Xiuyu City and forces the troops to attack Daliang City, what will Zhao do?"
"Is it to sit back and watch Daliang City be heavily attacked? Siege and continue to resist our army."
"Or dispatch troops and horses to reinforce Wei and weaken the defense of our army?"
"Zhao is in a dilemma!"
Strategy and tactics complement each other.
When the strategy fails, the success of the tactics is not unbreakable.
As long as Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness, Da Qin's strategy of building plank roads secretly in Chencang can be transformed into a strategy to encircle Wei and force Zhao!
Huan Yan frowned: "Can Lord Chang'an really attack Xiuyu City and attack Daliang City?"
"If Lord Chang'an can do it, Zhao will be in a dilemma."
"If If Chang'an Jun can't do it, those 200,000 soldiers and horses will really be held back!"
Wang Jian took the military report in Huan Yan's hand, looked at the words carved by Ying Chengyu, and spoke in a deep voice! : "I don't know why Lord Chang'an trusts me so much."
"But since Lord Chang'an trusts me so much, how can I not trust Lord Chang'an!"
After gathering the military report, Wang Jian looked at Wu'an City: "Send the order! Attack the city!"
...
It was early morning on January 25, the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin army once again sent a hundred warriors to attack Xiuyu City.
But after crossing the moat, the first warriors did not directly set up the ladder.
Because the ground covered with thick ice cannot bear the force at all!
After taking half of the casualties, the warriors finally cut some dents in the ice.
Inserting the end of the ladder into the pit, knocking down the ladder and hooking it to the city wall, the first warriors finally launched today's charge.
“Kill!!!”
The roar echoed across the battlefield.
Ying Chengyu, who was standing on the command podium, was looking at Shui Jue in front of him.
Half an hour later, Ying Chengyu turned the water jue upside down and let the water mixed with ice fall into his palm. Feeling the temperature in the palm of his hand, Ying Chengyu whispered: "The temperature has almost warmed up."
The lower the temperature, the stronger the layer of ice outside Xiuyu City, even if If burned with oil, the melted water will quickly condense into ice again, so even a fierce attack will be of little use.
If the temperature is too high, the moat of Xiuyu City will thaw. The Qin army will no longer be able to cross the moat on plain ground and directly attack the wall of Xiuyu City. Ying Chengyu believes that Pang Nuan will be able to destroy the moat. Play with flowers.
Based on the condensation speed of the water in Shui Jue, Ying Chengyu believed that today was the opportunity he had been waiting for!
Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "The great craftsman Cao Mao and the great craftsman Qi Ai!"
Soon, the two craftsmen hurried to the Chinese army.
Without greeting, Ying Chengyu asked directly: "How many catapults do our army have now?"
Cao Mao, with two big dark circles under his eyes, immediately said: "The catapults that have been put into combat There are twenty cars in total.”
"Another eighty-four catapults have been built and are stocked in the supply camp."
Qi Ai also had two dark circles under his eyes and reported back: "Our unit has built 6,000 catapults for easy throwing. The huge boulder!”
Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: “Order!”
“All counterweight catapults and cable trebuchets outside the north and east city gates will be moved to the south. Outside the West Second City Gate."
"Deploy sixty catapults to the West City Gate and twenty-four catapults to the South City Gate."
"The stone bullets are also allocated according to the proportion!"
Cao Mao and the two men hurriedly handed over: "Wei!"
All the catapults hoarded by the Qin army were pushed into the battlefield, Ying Chengyu gave the order in a deep voice : "Every unit of the cable trebuchet is listening to the order!"
"Petroleum bombs, throw them ten times in a row!"
"Order! Jiang Ming's crossbowmen are pressing forward, and the fire arrows will not stop!"
Wang Pan immediately ordered: "Prepare the slingers!"
"Load the petroleum bombs!"
Forty cable trebuchets have been set up outside the west and south cities.
Following Wang Pan's order, four thousand soldiers grabbed the rope.
When the petroleum bomb was put into his pocket, Wang Pan shouted: "Pull!"
Four thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Hey! Ha! Hey!"
With the chant, the pole was raised, and the cans loaded in the leather pockets were thrown towards Xiuyu City.
Zhao Wei's soldiers were not surprised and opened the sandbox, preparing to immediately sprinkle sand and bury the oil bomb according to the impact point.
But Wang Pan's order has been issued again: "Reload!"
Jiang Ming shouted at the same time: "First row, load the fire arrows, raise your head four high, the target is directly in front, release!"
Rounds of oil were thrown towards Xiuyu City.
The fire arrows shot at the city wall in three rounds, greatly shortening the time that Zhao Wei's soldiers could bury the oil.
The fire quickly exceeded the handling limit of the soldiers of Xiuyu City, and became more and more fierce!
Watching the flames melting ice into water from a distance and flowing down the city wall, Ying Chengxiao ordered again: "Counterweight trebuchet, throw!"
Accompanied by the creaking of the wood. With a sound, one hundred and four stone bullets weighing more than a hundred kilograms smashed into Xiuyu City!
The flames soften the ice, making it easier for rocks to crack it.
The broken ice layer increased the contact area with oil and flames, and it didn't take long for it to melt into water and drip down.
The flames followed the icy water down the city wall, signaling the end of this round of attacks.
But a new round of oil, flames and stone bombs has followed, continuing to weaken the ice outside Xiuyu City!
Ying Chengyu took a step forward, walked to the edge of the podium, grabbed the railing with both hands, and shouted sternly: "The catapult keeps throwing rocks!"
"Don't stop!"
"Fuck me!"
No emotion.
No tricks.
Only saturated to overflowing blowing power!
The earth is trembling and the city walls are wailing!
After two hours of continuous saturation attacks, the right half of the west wall of Xiuyu City collapsed!
The combined forces of Zhao and Wei immediately blocked the gap with a gate-blocking knife cart.
The west gate of Xiuyu City opened, and thousands of infantry rushed out.
Ying Chengxuan immediately ordered: "Personal soldiers press forward to block all invading enemies."
"Deploy twenty catapults to build the west gate of Yucheng and smash it for me, general!"
Meng Wu hurriedly said: "General, if you throw stones to block the west gate, how will our army rush into the city?"< br>
Ying Chengyu said nonchalantly: "As long as the city wall is broken, there will be city gates everywhere!"
"Smash!"
Outside Xiuyu City, Zhao Wei The coalition forces fought to the death, and the war became unprecedentedly intense.
But the Qin army's catapults continued to roar.
After another hour of violent bombing, the west wall of Xiuyu City almost completely collapsed, and most of the south wall of Xiuyu City also collapsed. The gate jammers prepared in Xiuyu City were no longer enough to block it. gap.
All the generals looked at Ying Chengyu with burning eyes.
In their view, now is the time for a general attack!
But Ying Chengyu ordered again: "The catapult advances slowly, stops every five feet forward, and throws two rounds of stone bombs!"
Wang Pan didn't know why, but he ordered without hesitation: "Get the jammed stone and move the catapult forward!"
More than a hundred catapults slowly approached Xiuyu City, and the impact point of the stone bullets also started from Xiuyu City. The city wall gradually advanced towards Xiuyu City.
When the six thousand stone bombs were all used up and the catapult had arrived twenty feet outside Xiuyu City, Ying Chengyu finally shouted excitedly: "Drum beat!"
"General attack! "
The eight warriors took off their shirts, revealing their strong upper bodies, and held heavy hammers to beat the main Fen drum.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
More than 100,000 Qin troops roared in unison:
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Strong wind!"
