Chapter 756: Prohibiting the spread of superstitious ideas! Overturning a huge city is like peeling off a piece of paper!
The flames in Xiaobeicheng have not yet been extinguished, and the war has begun again in Handan City.
This time, Ying Chengyu did not just attack the north wall of Xiaobeicheng, but ordered the army to attack the four cities of Handan City from all directions.
The battle situation returned to the script familiar to Zhao's generals.
But Sima Shang was still full of uneasiness in his heart. He even rode his horse to the west gate of the Western King City in person, and kept shouting orders: "Send the order to Captain Zhao Yang to form a formation outside the west gate and stand guard."
"There is no need to stop the entire Qin army, but I must be nailed to death outside the west city gate to contain the Qin army!"
"The prince ordered Guo Chang to order all eunuchs and eunuchs to climb the city, hold crossbows, and assist in the battle. ! ”
“Send the command to Lieutenant Ma Fuxun to leave the city from the east gate of Xiwang City and attack Qin Lexun’s troops in a flanking attack!” He looked forward to slamming into the West Gate of the West King City with the most determined attitude.
The remaining soldiers under Zhao Yang were exhausted and had low morale, and could not withstand the fierce attack of Le Xun's troops.
Xiwang City is also where the Zhao Palace is located, so there must be no mistakes.
Sima Shang had to mobilize all his troops to gather here, turning this place into the most brutal battlefield!
"Charge! Seize the city!"
"Zhao Chunping is dead! The main force of Zhao army is dead! How long will it take if you don't surrender?!"
"The credit for getting there first must belong to our unit! Soldiers, kill!"
"Defend the city wall at all costs and kill the Qin dogs!"
As the shouts of killing broke out, a messenger galloped over on horseback, shouting: "Retribution!"
" Nearly 20,000 Qin troops are stationed in the south of Dongwang City!"
"One is under the command of Qin Duwei Qiang Huai, and the other is under the command of Qin Duwei Su Jiao!"
As Fukou! Sima Shang, a direct participant in the Battle of Xing, was horrified when he heard Su Jiao's name, and quickly asked: "Has Qin Captain Su Jiao launched a large-scale attack on the city?"
The messenger shook his head and said: "Qin Duwei Qiang Huai is attacking the wall of our city."
"Qin Duwei Su Jiao is leading his army to dig a tunnel outside the city!"
Sima Shang His eyes looked strange: "Qin Captain Su Jiao is digging a tunnel?"
"Has he been discovered by our army?!"
The ordering soldier also had a strange look in his eyes: "Qin Captain Su The Jiaosuo tribe was shoveled three hundred feet outside the city."
"Although it is beyond the range of our crossbows, it can be seen clearly from the top of the city."
The art of hole attack is not uncommon.
The information that Ying Chengyu used the acupoint attack technique when attacking Chu has already been presented to the generals of various countries.
Sima Shang was not surprised that Ying Chengyu would use acupoint attack in this battle.
But the most important thing in hole attack is concealment.
Even if the tactics of executing the acupoint attack cannot be hidden, the specific location of the acupoint attack channel must be hidden.
As a result, Su Jiao was excavating three hundred feet outside the city?
Does this mean that all the Zhao soldiers are blind?
Weird!
It’s extremely weird!
But then he glanced at Le Xun's troops who were fighting bravely outside the city and the Qin army's banner standing on the west side, but Sima Shang could only say in a deep voice: "The captain must be careful when sending orders to the captain."
< br>"Allocate another two thousand troops and horses to Captain Xingliu to guard the city."
"Send the order and listen to the soldiers to be on strict guard!"
Compared to the tunnels that take time to dig , obviously the Lexun and Yingcheng troops outside the city are more threatening!
The ordering soldier had to hand over his hand: "Wei!"
However, after hearing Sima Shang's order, Xing Xun suddenly took off his helmet and scratched his scalp: "I don't ask for support."
"But I ask General Sima to tell me clearly what the Qin army's intentions are. Why, how should our army respond!”
At first glance, the battlefield outside the south gate of Dongwang City is no different from other gates.
But if you look closely, you can see more than 10,000 soldiers gathered about 300 feet outside the south city gate, struggling to wield copper shovels and dig tunnels.
Not only did Sima Shang find it strange, Xing Xun, who saw the Qin army digging a tunnel in such an obvious place, was even more puzzled.
But Xing Li may not know that the weirdness in Su Jiao's heart is no less than that of Xing Li!
After issuing various orders, Su Jiao couldn't help but ask: "Brother Gua, do you really don't need to retreat a little?"
"This general is quite experienced in the art of acupoint attack. Experience. "
"Even if our army does not plan to use this hole attack method to enter the city for a surprise attack, but intends to hollow out the bottom of the city wall to fall into the city, it will still take a lot of time. "
"According to this general's estimation, it will take at least about half a month to dig out enough space to fall down the wall of the East King City."
"Placing the acupoint entrance so far forward will definitely be discovered by the enemy, and it will definitely be intercepted by the enemy!"
Su Jiao is a professional when it comes to acupoint attack.
Whether it was the royal tombs of Qin or the royal city of Chu, Su Jiao was very familiar with their underground structures.
But Su Jiao has never dug a tunnel openly and openly so close to the enemy city!
This feeling is so exciting!
The hexagram master said in a deep voice: "The monarch of Zhao Chang has led the reinforcements from the cities in the south of Zhao to break through Captain Ren's defense line. They can reach Handan in two days at most."
"By then, there will be eight Wan Zhaojun rushes to reinforce Handan."
"The commander-in-chief Xifeng, who is arrayed in the north, has also sent back urgent military reports one after another. He may be defeated and leave at any time."
"Our troops will be killed. Break the city before all the Zhao army's reinforcements arrive, otherwise there will be a stalemate."
"If the enemy troops come out of the city to intercept our troops, please ask Qiang Duwei to intercept them on your behalf."
"This policy was decided by the head of the family, and it will not be wrong!"
Su Jiao still had countless doubts in his mind, but Qiang Huai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain Su."
< br>“If the general’s prediction is correct, the commander-in-chief is not planning to fall into the city in this battle, but intends to invite the earth dragon to attack the city!”
“What Doctor Gua did was to dig out the city. Come out of the altar and draw the sacrifice map!"
Su Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Invite the earth dragon?"
"The general must try his best to help you!" "Come on!"
Guafu:...
Guafu didn't admit it, but he didn't deny.
He just took a copper ingot, jumped into the pit with Su Jiao, and kept digging towards the north.
In front of nearly 10,000 experienced soldiers of the Qin army, a mere three hundred feet is nothing.
If it is necessary to hide, I am afraid that Su Jiao's troops will need to dig for a day or two.
But without any need to hide or even make a big splash, in just one night, a tunnel penetrated from the south side of East King City directly to the bottom of the south wall of East King City!
The rising sunlight shines on the lead wire at the entrance of the cave.
Looking at this lead, Su Jiao's eyes became even more confused.
Is this really not a strategy to fall into the city?
Qiang Huai's eyes were filled with a look of almost fanatical pilgrimage, and he even knelt down and bowed his head facing the lead.
Behind Qiang Huai, more than two thousand Qin troops who had followed Qiang Huai and participated in the blocking battle of Wu Jianao also knelt down and bowed their heads like Qiang Huai. Everyone looked at the lead with a blazing light in their eyes.
Seeing this, Su Jiao became more and more puzzled and asked: "Captain Qiang, what are you doing!"
Even when offering sacrifices to Yongchou, there is no need to hold the head throughout the ceremony. !
Qiang Huai hurriedly pulled Su Jiao to kneel down together and whispered: "Don't shout!"
"The sacrifice is about to begin!"
"Look!"
Su Jiao followed Qiang Huai's line of sight and saw the fortune teller walking to the edge of the cave entrance holding a torch.
Although he had already had an experience, the hexagram master was still a little panicked.
But after being severely reprimanded by Ying Chengxiang the previous time, the hexagram master did not dare to shout Yingchengxiang's name at this moment, for fear that Yingchengxiang would be angry again.
After obviously taking a deep breath, the fortune teller held the torch and smashed it down hard!
Seeing the light of the fire going deep into the hole along the lead wire, the fortune teller murmured nervously: "I don’t know why the head of the family didn’t allow someone to shout like that anymore, and said that someone was spreading Lao Shizi’s superstitious ideas."
"I just hope that Earth Dragon can learn the order of the family leader, I wish..."
Before the Guafu finished muttering, the veins in Qiang Huai's neck had tensed up, and he was shouting with more than 2,000 veterans under his command. Roar:
"Pass the order of the Lord of Chang'an!"
"Earth Dragon!"
"Turn over!"
Guafu:? ? ?
All Zhao monarchs and ministers:! ! !
Listening to the shouts of more than two thousand Qin troops, Sima Shang's face instantly turned pale: "How could this happen? How could this happen!"
"Qin Chang'an Lord can actually command the earth dragon again?!"
< br>"I, the Great Zhao, have stopped!"
Facing the shouts of Qiang Huai's troops, Xingzhao screamed in shock: "Quickly move to an open place to avoid!"
"Quick! ! ”
In an instant, there was chaos at the top of Handan City. All the soldiers fled in a hurry, but they didn't know where they were hiding to avoid the power of the earth dragon!
However, after spinning around like headless flies for dozens of breaths, the violent earthquake they imagined never came.
Zhao Wuya, who ran to the open space below the city, couldn't help but said: "I think this is just a trick of the Qin army!"
"Qin Changan Jun can command the earth dragon. It needs to be verified.”
“Even if Lord Qin Changan really has the ability to command the Earth Dragon, how can Lord Qin Changan command the Earth Dragon if he is not under his command?”
"What's more important is that the Qin army outside the city has not retreated at all!"
Looking at the Qin army on the west side of Xiwang City, which has not retreated at all and is even continuing to advance, a thin layer of sweat breaks out on Sima Shang's forehead.
If the army is not allowed to withdraw from the city wall, once the earth dragon turns over near the city wall, all Zhao army soldiers will die!
But if the army is allowed to withdraw from the city wall, the Qin army may easily capture the city wall, and Zhao will be destroyed!
After struggling for more than ten breaths, Sima Shang, who had not been shocked for a long time, finally felt hard and said in a deep voice: "Pass this order to me!"
"The call just now was just a trick by the Qin army."
"The troops ordered to guard the city wall must not be attacked by the Qin army!"
Hearing the call of the ordering soldiers, Xing Xun Then he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered: "Instruct our troops to go up the city wall!"
"Be prepared to deal with the Qin army's strong attack!"
While the kings and ministers of Zhao State were struggling and thinking, , while guessing, the flames were also advancing rapidly along the fuse.
When the Xingxu headquarters returned to the city wall, they were ready to prepare.
The flames finally crossed the three hundred feet of tunnel and entered the narrow space under the city wall!
Then...
"Boom~~~~"
A dull and deafening roar sounded from beneath the soil layer.
The mountains of black powder were detonated simultaneously, and heat and air waves spurted upward along the deliberately dug cavity.
The city wall that used to be heavy, solid, and magnificent is now as thin as a piece of paper.
Throw it into the sky!
Then...
“Boom!!”
"Boom!!!"
The city wall, which was more than a hundred feet long, flew more than ten feet high before crashing to the ground.
Because his center of gravity was unstable when he landed, he fell heavily towards the East King City! ! !
