Eight hundred and thirty ninth chapter annihilation war
"General, Wang Jian is currently in the cloud chariot and is a target. There are many powerful warriors from the Zhongshan Sword Hall who are willing to test their skills."
"Sure enough, if you kill Wang Jian, his troops will be in chaos!"
After staying by the general's side for a long time, Sima Shang once again looked at Wang Jian in the distance. This time, the people accompanying the army were people from the Zhongshan Sword Hall and the original Xingcheng Library of Zhao State.
They are all martial arts practitioners. In the Battle of Handan, Master Zhongshan of the Zhongshan Sword Hall took action and killed dozens of Qin soldiers in one fell swoop. This made the coalition forces of all countries unstoppable. It may not be impossible now.
"Do you think there are no martial arts experts around Wang Jian?"
"Have you forgotten, Marquis Wu Zhen of the State of Qin?"
Li Mu shook his head. He didn't like the rangers either. As a leader, the most important thing he cared about was military discipline, but those rangers failed to observe military discipline and behaved wantonly.
He welcomes those people who come to help him, but he only needs to protect him.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
Sima Shang felt a sudden change in his heart and said no more words.
If there are martial arts masters and the Qin State also has Wuzhenhou, if they take action, there is no guarantee that Wuzhenhou will also take action, although according to the news, Qin State Wuzhenhou is in the two counties of Longxi.
However, there are also martial arts masters in Qin, and the Yin and Yang family is in Xianyang!
"If Wang Jian comes out in person among the army, he will be given a severe blow!"
Li Mu took a deep breath, glanced at Zhao Camp where he was, and gave the order.
"Here!"
Sima Shang nodded.
at the same moment.
"If Li Mu comes out in person, Zhao Jun will suffer a heavy defeat!"
Wang Jian also gave the order in a deep voice.
In an instant, the entire Jingxing entrance was moving with the sound of drums, and the sound of thunder suddenly started.
"General, why not just use the power of fierce fire oil to break open the entrance of Jingxing?"
Sima of the Central Army beside him asked curiously. He also saw the power of the fierce fire oil last time.
"The Jingxing Pass has been reinforced several times, and the fierce fire and oil may be useless."
"In today's battle, I will take a look at Li Mu's military strategy so that I can have some countermeasures."
"Besides, even if we directly break through Jingxingkou, Li Mu's army will retreat to the hinterland of Zhao State. It will be very difficult to destroy them. When most of Zhao State's troops gather here, I will have my own best strategy!"
Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly. It was probably difficult to break through the Jingxing Pass with the force of fire oil, but the army also had other siege weapons sent from the National Protectorate Academy, which could definitely break through the Jingxing Pass.
But now is not the best time. Li Mu currently has only more than 200,000 Zhao soldiers, and some are still on the road. He also gives Zhao a hope of victory.
Only in this way will more soldiers from the Zhao Kingdom come.
During the period, catch them all in one fell swoop!
After the military order was passed down, a different kind of emotion bloomed in the entire five camps of the Qin Kingdom's Central Army. It was early summer, and the sky above and below was already a bit hot. In front of the valley, there was a coolness spreading.
The black military formation in the valley and the red flags on the two mountains of Guancheng were clearly visible. What was unusual was that neither side made any sound, as if tigers and lions were meeting on a narrow road, silently sizing up each other in the face of each other.
"rise!"
I don't know when, as Qin Zhong shouted loudly, suddenly, the war drums outside the entire valley became louder, and the powerful crossbows and arrows outside the valley fired a volley, and the sound of wooden bangs was as dense as a pelting rain.
Long arrows filled the sky whizzing towards the mountains on both sides and the city in front.
For more than a hundred years, it has been said that South Korea has unparalleled crossbows, but the crossbows in Qin are not weak, especially the large long-range repeating crossbows, coupled with the renovation of the National Protectorate Academy in recent years.
It is far superior to other countries in Shandong. It is operated by well-trained soldiers. Although the materials and craftsmanship are difficult, the production and repair are difficult, and the cost is high, the effect is needless to say.
Huge feather arrows were shot from outside the Qin Army Valley, directly over the arrows of Zhao State that were also shot from the pass city at this moment, and landed on the pass. Crossbows moved from three sides, each one as thick as an arm and as long as long hair.
The arrow clusters are more than two feet long.
It was simply a short sword mounted on a wooden pole more than ten feet long and thrown with great force. Such a thick spear and arrows shot all over the sky. Its whistling momentum, penetrating power and power were unparalleled.
Bows and crossbows pressed down on the formation, and the central army moved forward. The trench chariot soldiers moved forward, clearing the roadblocks that blocked the horses, scraping away the thorns everywhere, exploring pits one by one and then basically filling them up. Then they quickly laid out the trench chariots and moved forward in the dark canyon.
As soon as the passage was opened, the large ladders and infantry attacking the pass rumbled forward, followed by the large crossbows that continued to advance, raining arrows down on the city. In less than half an hour, the black Qin army gradually approached the pass.
When the terrain under the pass opened up slightly, the Qin army immediately gathered into an siege formation.
This method of attacking a city is similar among all countries.
At this point, Zhao Guo was clearly prepared before the Jingxingkou Pass.
"Rocket!"
Another word fell, and a long arrow with scorching flames shot out, and pressed again, but this time the fierce fire oil arrows emitted a different kind of light. The rocket landed on the pass, and it suddenly filled the air.
Spears and arrows, with howling fireworks, rushed straight towards the two mountains and Guancheng, like fire dragons flying in the valley. In a moment, the two mountains and forests, Guancheng fell into a sea of fire on three sides, and the whole valley burned red.
"Siege the city!"
Above the valley floor, aerial ladders have been sent to the front, lined up, and pushed towards the Jingxingkou Pass. It looks like a series of large black walls with the same height as the city wall. There are round iron wheels under them, and there are hidden treasures under them.
The place of war.
When attacking the city, under the suppression of powerful rockets, the Qin troops quickly stepped onto the ladder one by one and rushed to the city wall. Flames were lingering, the clouds were vast, and the smoke obscured everything.
Not long after, despite the Zhao army's defensive measures, many Qin soldiers still entered the city wall and engaged the Zhao soldiers with swords at close range.
At that time, the situation in front of the city wall and on both sides of the valley changed suddenly.
On both sides of the valley, the ambush soldiers of Zhao State also dropped arrows one after another, mixed with rolling wood and rocks, and shot at the siege soldiers and smashed the large and small ladders.
There were also several terrifying furnaces wandering around in the crenels. When they saw a large ladder approaching, red molten iron was poured down on them. The towering Qin army's ladder immediately crashed and collapsed in the fierce fire and smoke.
On top of the city, buckets of water were poured out, and the smoke filled the air and spread. Looking at the soldiers of the Qin State who climbed onto the city wall, they also stepped forward to fight with them. The bloody atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
Each has his own means of attacking and receiving, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Under the suppression of Qin's powerful crossbows, although the ambush troops on both sides of the valley were limited in their efforts, those ambush troops were all brought by Li Mu from the northern frontier army, and they were all excellent marksmen.
Although there are few feather arrows, their lethality is not weak.
One by one, Zhao soldiers dodge the Qin army's powerful crossbows, while taking aim and shooting.
After such a fight, no one could get any favors. Instead, corpses fell on the ground on both sides of the valley, in front of the valley, and in front of the city.
"withdraw troops!"
Wang Jian gave another order.
Li Mu is indeed a good general of Zhao Guo, so such a defensive strategy is indeed difficult to penetrate.
If you continue, you will have to use such means to break through the barriers, which is not what you want to see.
"General, those shooters that Li Mu ambushed on both sides of the valley are too abominable!"
"The general thought that we would fight again tomorrow!"
Zhao's ambushes on both sides of the valley shot so accurately that many of the corpses in the valley were shot by them. One of the generals stepped forward, fiercely asking for a fight, and wanted to bow down to the entrance of Jingxing.
After the words fell, the other generals in the shogunate's military tent also looked at each other. They should definitely continue to attack fiercely and put continuous pressure on Zhao Jun.
Otherwise, the generals also proposed countermeasures one by one, such as sneak attack from the rear, burning the mountain with flames, and attacking the city in the dark, so that the so-called sharpshooters would not be able to help.
Inside the military tent, there was a lot of hustle and bustle.
"Hahaha, please stay calm!"
"If words are used to win the pass at all costs, there is a general with no less than a hundred tactics. No matter how hard Li Mu defends, he will not be able to defend. But if this is the case, it will not be in line with the king's wishes and the wishes of the Qin Kingdom.
"
"The king once said that there is no fixed time limit for the destruction of Zhao. Why is this so? That's why it is not difficult to defeat Li Mu. However, if Li Mu retreats to the hinterland of Zhao, the soldiers in his hands can be the main force and can move flexibly, making it difficult to destroy him.
."
"Not only that, if we are attacked again and again, Li Mu can still hold on, and his position in the Zhao Kingdom will be more stable, which is not a good thing, so we must wait for the opportunity!"
Wang Jian based his strategy on the sand table and didn't care about today's attack. However, he had a certain understanding of Li Mu's fighting methods. He looked at the generals in front of him and said in a deep voice again.
"In the Zhao Kingdom, the only good general is Li Mu. Between offense and defense, if we can capture it regardless of the cost, what we have to do now is to hold off Li Mu and let Li Xin, Yang Duan and the two armies move."
"Continuously capture Zhao's cities from the north and south, destroy Zhao's soldiers, and wait for the right opportunity to move. Li Mu himself will not be able to bear it."
Wang Jian took out his long sword and landed it on the sand table. He looked at the marching route of Li Xin and Yang Duanhe. There were a total of 200,000 elite soldiers of the Qin State there. They had an absolute advantage against the soldiers of the Zhao State.
"Next, we are going to support Li Mu's main force and prevent him from leaving here easily. Arrows will rain down on him every day, and we will continue to carry out sneak attacks at night to prevent Zhao soldiers from cultivating in peace."
After dozens of breaths, Wang Jian finished speaking the last words in his mouth.
"Here!"
After hearing this, the generals thought for a moment, looked at each other again, and their eyes fell on the general, agreeing with this strategy.
That night, Chinese military documents flowed out of Wang Jian's hands, all the way to the north, all the way to the south, and all the way back to Xianyang.
In the early morning of the next day, the Qin army launched another killing offensive. When the Zhao army retreated into the pass, there was a heavy rain of arrows, but the Qin army did not attack.
At night, the Zhao army's camp was dark, but suddenly firemen came from the mountains and forest to kill soldiers, one after another all night long. The Zhao army had brief fierce battles one after another, and by daybreak they were exhausted.
After so many days, Li Mu had already seen through Wang Jian's plan, and immediately ordered that teams be guarded in rotation at the pass and on both sides of the valley to prevent the soldiers from getting tired and the Qin army not to attack in a large scale, and he would not understand.
Since the Qin army can sneak attack, the Zhao army can too.
If the stalemate continues like this, no one on both sides of the pass will be able to escape.
When Wang Jian heard this, he smiled brightly and remained unmoved.
