The city walls were densely covered with soldiers, various defensive equipment, and flags, which greatly boosted the morale of the Korean rebels.
Wei Zhuang stood at the foot of the city tower. He put on a black robe on top of his black gold robe, hiding himself completely under the black robe and in the shadows.
"What's the pity?" Wei Zhuang turned to ask Tian Yan. He held the shark-tooth sword in his hand, held the hilt tightly, and repeated the question again.
"Nothing." Tian Yan shook his head and replied.
The Qin army was like a torrent of black steel, as if it was about to destroy everything.
"Actually, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask Mr. Wei Yan." Wei Zhuang was silent for a long time, holding a shark-tooth sword in his hand, and asked.
The Qin army below the city was about to attack the city, but he seemed not to care about it and asked Tian Yan questions.
"Mr. Wei Zhuang, please speak. Tell me everything you know." Tian Yan replied calmly.
As for whether she knows it or not, only she and God know.
"I wonder if Brother Wei Zhuang wants to buy salt or do business together?" Tian Yan became interested and turned to look at Wei Zhuang in front of him and asked.
"None of them." Wei Zhuang shook his head and then asked, "Mr. Wei Yan, if you want to make money, why do you set such a low price?"
The light in Tian Yan's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.
He was really puzzled by this, or in other words, in his previous knowledge, whether it was the knowledge Guiguzi taught him or his personal experience, such a strange person had never appeared before.
Well, yes.
It can only be said to be strange.
This "new salt" seems ordinary, but in fact it is very powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sharp weapon for a country. If they could master this method back then, I am afraid that the situation will be greatly changed now.
In his opinion, whether it was selling new salt at a high price or using the salt-making method as a tool for promotion, she would get much more than what she got now.
"Brother Wei Zhuang also knows how to do business?" Tian Yan asked Wei Zhuang in surprise.
Wei Zhuang did not reply.
"Actually, it's normal for Brother Wei Zhuang to have this doubt, because Mr. Wei Zhuang actually doesn't understand what I'm selling and what I want to get." Tian Yan squinted his eyes and said with a meaningful smile.
"Oh?" Wei Zhuang said with some confusion.
Doing business is not just about selling salt to make money, so why bother with the mystery?
"What I sell is not salt, but demand.
What I want to get is not money, but a platform.
Of course, I am a farmer, so I am not very good at business." Tian Yan smiled, and then she turned her attention to the outside of the city.
Wei Zhuang was thoughtful after hearing this.
…
Soon, and not long after, the brutal siege began.
Qin soldiers wore black armor, masks, sharp weapons, and various siege equipment including ladders. They rushed towards Xinzheng City. The sound of thundering war drums and shouts of death filled everyone's ears.
inside.
All members of Quicksand, including Bai Feng, Chi Lian, and Wushuang Ghost, participated in the battle to defend the city, but Wei Zhuang did not take action personally.
Some Korean officers in military uniforms commanded the soldiers to fire arrows. Suddenly, arrows rained down like locusts, and they pounced on the attacking Qin army below the city. From the perspective of the Qin army, the sky was covered with flying arrows.
The sun was blocked, and the sky suddenly darkened. When I looked up, I realized that it was not the clouds that blocked the sun, but the Korean army firing arrows.
A Korean army officer looked at the Qin army below the city with a ferocious expression. His father died on the battlefield against the violent Qin. He commanded the soldiers in an orderly manner.
"Bah, Qin Gou, it will be easier for you." He said viciously while drawing out his sword.
Although the Qin army's response was quite rapid, exceeding Tian Yan's imagination, these Korean army's crossbowmen still achieved great results.
In ancient siege battles, these crossbowmen were a nightmare for the siege party.
But even though the city was already in a state of purgatory, the Qin army still rushed forward without fear of death. Under the protection of shields and other equipment, they were waiting for the opportunity to reach the top of the city first and make their first contribution.
When the Qin army was still some distance away from the city wall, huge stones flew towards the city wall, inside the city, and the Korean army on the wall under the action of catapults.
Two huge rocks even hit Tian Yan and Wei Zhuang one after another.
Facing the boulder, Tian Yan did not dodge, and pulled out the gorgeous sword. The long sword flashed with cold light, and the sword aura was crisscrossed on the blade. With the blessing of her deep inner strength, seven-color sword auras crisscrossed around Tian Yan's body.
An exquisite sword formation was formed, and the seven-color sword energy was both beautiful and extremely dangerous.
With just one sword strike, the powerful sword energy smashed the first flying boulder into pieces in the air.
The boulder was evenly broken into several pieces, with neat cuts.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, and the surrounding soldiers could only clearly see her slow and graceful movements of sheathing her sword.
Wei Zhuang's eyes suddenly condensed.
At the same time, looking at the second flying boulder, the ferocious aura in his body surged, and he pulled out the shark-tooth sword. The crimson sword aura on the sword surrounded the murderous weapon. His sword moves were not gorgeous, it could even be said that
It is very simple, but with just this simple sword, the flying boulder was split in half from the middle. The cut boulder was weakly hit on the city wall and shattered into pieces.
Tian Yan couldn't understand the military formation, but it felt a little strange, but he didn't know where the strange thing was.
She only felt, why did the Qin army fight so hastily?
After all, she knew the art of war, but she didn't know the art of war at all, and she didn't know what Lord Changping was going to do.
But in Tian Yan's heart, ancient siege warfare should be a very technical job. The two sides were constantly looking for each other's flaws in the stalemate. However, the Qin army seemed to have lost its mind in anger and just let the soldiers charge.
He didn't show any operations that amazed Tian Yan.
There was not even much formation of troops.
Tian Yan only thinks that if commanding a siege is so simple, then...she can do it too?!
Wei Zhuang frowned and looked outside the city.
In fact, this battle has not shown his true level so far. Apart from taking Xinzheng City, the rest can only be fought head-on.
He had no choice but to make a fool of himself without rice. He lacked time and resources. He had no time to build a complete defense system and even lacked soldiers to defend the city.
Moreover, most of the existing soldiers are new soldiers, who are more than enough to defend the city, but far from enough to attack. With his current strength, and the gap in strength that is several times greater than his own, even if he is a disciple of Guigu, he can only hold on to the city wall.
At this moment, he frowned slightly. Of course, his frown had nothing to do with the Qin army's attack, but because he couldn't figure out what Lord Changping, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, wanted to do.
In his opinion, Lord Changping had many better options than today's siege methods that are extremely costly and have little effect. As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Changping Lord himself was very resourceful, but he chose to lead the army directly.
