Chapter 748: See Ben force a strong dose of medicine out of Wu Anjun! Hidden fire jars are on the battlefield for the first time!
Seeing two Zhao armies charging towards the Qin army's position from a distance, Ying Chengyu tapped his horse's back with his fingers and showed dissatisfaction: "Only two troops and horses are sent to attack this general?"
"Who is Zhao Jun in command? How could he be so timid?"
This general not only sent troops, but also pushed the catapult to the front line.
What an opportunity!
Why don't you dare to take a chance on such a good opportunity? !
Fortunately, Zhao Jun finally made some moves and did not let Ying Chengyu's preparations go to waste.
Ying Chengjian shouted in a solemn voice: "Send an order to Captain Qiang Huai to intercept Zhao Duwei Ma Fuchao's troops, fight and then retreat."
"Send an order to Duwei Meng Nan's troops to detour towards North."
"Command Captain Wang Pan to retreat slowly"
Seeing the Qin army's catapults retreating, Fei Chong felt anxious and shouted anxiously: "Send this general's order!"
"The whole army speeds up and marches forward!"
While shouting , Feichong himself also drove the war horse forward, pressing forward from the middle to the front.
Although the catapult is equipped with wheels and can move, it is still far slower than the running speed of the soldiers.
Fei Chong's troops moved at full speed, and soon they reached the Qin Army's catapult before it could be withdrawn into the Qin Army's formation!
There was uncontrollable joy in Fei Chong's eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Send orders to the left and right troops to intercept the Qin army!"
"Stable formation at the rear, and crossbow arrows in the middle."
"Listen to the order from the front, and follow my general to destroy the Qin army's catapult!"
"Kill!"
With the beryllium front finger in his hand, the fat pet's front soldiers and horses speeded up again, heading towards Ying Cheng Yu's troops launched a charge!
Further behind, a large number of crossbow arrows flew into the sky and fell in the direction of the Qin army's catapult.
With his eyes fixed on the distance between the two armies, Ying Chengyu suddenly shouted: "Send the order to Captain Wang Pan to retreat quickly!"
"Send the order to Captain Meng Tian, Captain Xiao Tu's two troops join together to attack!"
The soldiers in the transport camp pushed the catapult hard with their heads down, running backwards without hesitation.
But the two soldiers and horses arrayed on the east and west sides of the baggage camp silently took steps towards the pursuing fat pet!
Upon seeing this, Sima Shang hurriedly shouted: "Ming Jin!"
"Send an order to Captain Fei Chong and Du Lieutenant Ma Fuchao to retreat immediately."
"Send an order to Captain Feili's troops to reinforce the capital. Wei Feichong’s troops!”
The sound of copper clangs echoed across the battlefield.
Fa Chong looked back in confusion.
But seeing the command flag waving on the top of the city, Fei Chong still quickly ordered: "Send this general's order and retreat!"
Xiao Tu was immediately angry: "How can you come to our Qin army if you want to?" , can you walk if you want?"
"Soldiers, chase!"
The strong legs trained in Chudi carried the two soldiers of Xiao Tu and Meng Tian again. Accelerating, biting the soldiers and horses in front of Fei Chong.
But even though the Qin soldiers were determined to pursue them, they only beheaded hundreds of heads.
The remaining Zhao Jun had already used the cover of the robe behind him to escape quickly!
For a time, Ying Chengyu became even more speechless.
Although Ying Chengyu had already prepared an ambush, Feichong's troops had just stepped into the ambush, and Ma Fuchao's troops were not even close to the ambush.
In the end, Zhao Jun ran away? !
Ying Chengyu couldn't help but murmured: "Is Zhao Jun cowardly, vigilant, or trying to lure our army deeper?"
"Is Lord Zhao Wu'an hiding in the city, secretly commanding the Zhao army?"
Whether Li Mu is in Handan City has a clear impact on Ying Chengyu's overall strategy.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Ying Chengyu still couldn’t figure it out.
Until Fei Chong's troops retreated to Handan City, Ying Chengyu finally made up his mind and spoke in a solemn voice: "Instruct the entire army to cancel their rest and prepare for a decisive battle."
"Guardian, hold on to this general order. Go to the baggage camp to pick up fifteen trucks of oil and deliver them to Captain Wang Pan!”
"Peng Cheng, you personally lead Wu Paoze into Wang Pan's army and build a fire jar on the spot!"
The war situation did not give Ying Chengyu any room for mercy.
If the coach of Zhao Jun is cowardly, he should use a strong dose of medicine to force Zhao Jun out.
If Li Mu was secretly commanding Zhao Jun, he would have no choice but to use a strong dose of medicine to force Li Mu out!
At the same time.
Guo Kai and other Zhao officials looked at Sima Shang with puzzled eyes.
Guo Kai even asked directly: "Why did Captain Sima first order our army to attack the Qin army, and then ask for gold to withdraw the troops?"
"I thought that if the Qin army could be destroyed, There is nothing wrong with a catapult, no matter how heavy the price is.”
“However, our army’s attack not only failed to achieve anything, but also cost hundreds of soldiers.”
“ What’s the point of this attack?”
Sima Shang calmly replied: "The victory of our army is to force the Qin Army's catapult to retreat several miles."
"Although the Qin Army's catapult can be pushed, it takes a lot of time to push."
“Once our army harasses us, we can delay the Qin army’s catapult attack on our city.”
“As long as the delay is long enough, our army can wait for reinforcements from various cities!” "And under repeated attacks, the Qin army will definitely relax its vigilance."
"If the Qin army slacks off, our army will not only be able to destroy all the catapults of the Qin army in one fell swoop, but can even use this to expand the results of the battle and severely damage the Qin army!" How? "
Even though the Zhao army was stronger than the Qin army in this battle, the Zhao army still defended the city.
But the best solution in Sima Shang's mind is still to wait for reinforcements from various cities to attack.
This strategy is not brilliant, but it is indeed the safest.
Guo Kai pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded: "General Sima is indeed a general who has high hopes for General Cong."
"This policy is very good!"
Sima Shang looked at Guo Kai. He said with a sarcastic smile: "In this way, the general will be at peace."
"Fortunately, this battle will take place in Handan. If you have any questions, you can ask the general in person."
" If this battle had taken place in Wu'an City, I don't know if the general would have been recalled to Handan City for questioning because of the deaths of hundreds of soldiers."
"Finally missing!"
It has been nearly ten days since Sima Shang arrived in Handan City. Even though Sima Shang repeatedly stated that he was not Ying Chengyu's opponent, Sima Shang still could not see Li Mu, or even Li Mu. I couldn't hear any news about Li Mu.
Sima Shang could not help but feel despair, and believed that Li Mu had been murdered!
If it were not for his loyalty to Zhao and the responsibilities entrusted to him by Li Mu, Zhao Cong, Li Kuo and others, Sima Shang would not have defended Handan City. Sima Shang would have even wanted to surrender to the enemy on the spot and kill the pair of foolish kings. Traitor!
Guo Kai's face turned dark, and he lowered his voice but said extremely seriously: "The truth is that I know very well what Lord Wu An is capable of, and I also understand how important Lord Wu An is to us, Great Zhao, at this critical moment."
"Although the truth has summoned Lord Wu An to return to Handan, it does not harm Lord Wu An in any way."
"The disappearance of Lord Wu An has nothing to do with the truth!"
These words , Guo Kai said it extremely sincerely!
However, Sima Shang just said coldly: "Since the prime minister has said so, how can the general dare not believe it!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid..."
In the middle of his words, Sima Shang suddenly stopped, looked at the Qin army's catapults that were moving forward beyond the previous stopping point, and shouted solemnly: "All soldiers leave the city gate tower immediately!"
Sima Shangben It was thought that the target of the Qin army's catapults had changed from the city wall to the city gate tower.
But what Sima Shanshan didn’t expect was that the Qin army’s catapults were still moving forward!
Although Sima Shang doesn’t know why Ying Chengyu wants the catapult to continue moving forward, Sima Shang knows that any changes on the battlefield that are beyond his control may eventually turn into factors that are detrimental to him. !
Sima Shang immediately stopped and shouted: "Order Captain Zhao Ke and Captain Feili to surround the Qin army's catapults from the left and right sides."
"The garrison on the north wall of Xiaobei City is preparing for war, and the crossbowmen are ready!"
"Please Chunpingjun lead his troops and troops to the west gate, and be ready for war at all times!"
Sima Shang was puzzled and asked While watching nervously, the Qin Army's catapults moved all the way to the end of the Zhao Army's crossbow range before stopping.
Captain Wang Pan rode his horse between the catapults, glancing back and forth with vigilant eyes, and ordered one after another: "Please watch carefully, general!"
"Tip over Those who are in clay pots will be killed immediately, even if they sit down, they will be killed!”
"Anyone who starts a fire without an order will be executed and the whole family will be seated!"
"All ministries immediately drove their cattle and horses to prepare to attack the city!"
Under the pull of a large number of cattle and horses, twenty Press down the tips of the catapult together.
A large number of Qin army troops carefully loaded each pottery pot into the bamboo basket at the end of the pole.
Confirming that all ministries were acting in accordance with the orders, Wang Pan faced Peng Cheng and solemnly raised his hands: "Doctor Peng, thank you."
Peng Cheng returned the salute with his hands raised: "It's a matter of duty."
The five soldiers headed by Peng Cheng walked to an open space and put down the baskets on their backs.
Under Wang Pan's curious eyes, Peng Cheng first took out a clay pot filled with reed tassels, saltpetre, sulfur and gravel.
Then he carefully took out a stick with a Chinese pine branch as the core and tightly wrapped with dozens of layers of first-generation Chang'an paper on the outside, and lit it on a torch.
Another soldier took out a bamboo dilator with a tapered head from his backpack and inserted it into the clay pot.
When a cylindrical space was expanded inside the full clay pot, Peng Cheng immediately stuffed the slowly burning note into the space, and another soldier immediately closed the lid of the clay pot, and then The hemp rope tied the pot and lid tightly.
Peng Cheng picked up the pottery pot with both hands, handed it to Wang Pan with a serious face, and solemnly warned: "This thing is fragile, don't be careless, so as not to accidentally damage the luster of my military robe."
"Put this thing into the basket when the catapult is about to be activated!"
Wang Pan quickly took the pot with both hands and nodded vigorously: "I know this!"
>Knowing that this matter was of great importance, Wang Pan did not dare to hand over the pottery pot to ordinary soldiers.
Whenever a pottery pot was made, Wang Pan personally handed it over to his soldiers, and asked his soldiers to stand next to the bamboo basket of the catapult, holding the pot in their hands, ready to go.
When the twenty clay pots were finished, the soldiers of the transport camp had also finished loading the bamboo baskets.
Wang Pan took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army obeys the order!"
"Hide the fire jars in the basket!"
See with your own eyes twenty The clay pot was carefully placed in the basket, and Wang Pan ordered again with a slight urgency:
"Throw!"
The captains of each car have already pointed the long beryllium in their hands at the copper pins covered with grease.
Hearing this order, the twenty commanders stabbed out their long berylliums without hesitation, causing the beryllium tips to hit the copper pin firmly and firmly!
The copper pin came out of the nest, and the tip rod suddenly rose under the action of leverage, and drove the top bamboo basket to slide through a semicircle.
Sixty clay pots loaded in bamboo baskets slid out of a perfect parabola under the influence of force, leaping over the defenders and the city wall.
Finally disappeared in Xiaobeicheng!
