I Want To Be Qin II

"boom!"

Siege vehicles hit the city gate again and again, and the battlefield was already in chaos. Lian Po commanded the army to fight to the death on the city wall, consuming the Qin warriors.

Lian Po was a good general. Although he was caught off guard when facing Ying Gao, his reaction was very quick and he stabilized the situation almost instantly.

He adopted a substitution strategy to keep the Zhao army on the wall in high spirits at all times, and the exhausted soldiers who were fighting were replaced to rest and recharge their batteries.

For this war, not only Ying Gao was well prepared, Lian Po himself was a cautious person and was equally well prepared, whether it was rolling stones, rolling wood, arrows, fierce fire oil, etc., he was prepared countless times.

Even before the war began, he mobilized grain and grass from various places into Handan to increase the grain reserves in Handan City and fully prepare for the protracted war.

As soon as the war broke out, there was chaos like rain, rolling logs, and fierce fire oil pouring down from the city walls as if for free, killing the dead soldiers of the Qin army back again and again.

In this way, Qin and Zhao fell into a stalemate.

At this time, it was dawn.

The sun rises, all things revive, the darkness between heaven and earth disappears, and light covers the entire great rivers and mountains.

But at this time, both Ying Gao and Lian Po's expressions changed. They all knew that it was daytime, which meant that the truly difficult time of the war had come.

The war has begun, and there is no possibility of stopping, especially since the Qin army has already attacked the city, so the only way is to conquer Handan City in one go.

On the chariot, Ying Gao looked solemn, the sky and the earth were bright. On the battlefield, the torches had been eclipsed and discarded by the soldiers, and the five-color lanterns were once again replaced by the five-color flags.

Looking at the ruined battlefield, Ying Gao fell silent. In terms of defending the city, Lian Po was indeed more difficult to deal with than Li Mu. Li Mu was good at field battles and cavalry duels.

"General Ying, this Lian Po is really troublesome. In this battle, our army and Zhao army will probably suffer about the same casualties, but our army is the attacker." At this moment, Fan Zeng also looked ugly.

"The most famous generals who are best at defense, even if they are old, are not comparable to ordinary people." Ying Gao was not surprised by this result. He did not think that he was so powerful that he was invincible in the world.

"It's dawn, and the real war has just begun. The previous war tested the commander's commanding skills, and now it tests the eliteness of the soldiers."

Speaking of this, Ying Gao gave the order decisively, saying: "Yang Duanhe, you will lead an army of 50,000 to attack the east gate of Handan. Bai Zhong will lead an army of 50,000 to attack the west gate of Handan. I will personally lead the army to attack the south gate."

"At the same time, Tie Ying led the elite cavalry to ambush the north gate, surrounding them with only one missing. I would like to see if Zhao Wangjia and Lian Po are of the same mind."

"promise."

On the chariot, Ying Gao quickly made targeted changes according to the changes in the battlefield situation. For a while, the offensive of the attacking Qin army slowed down.

On the wall of Handan City, Lian Po clearly felt this change. Watching some of the Qin troops fighting and retreating, his expression changed drastically.

Almost subconsciously, he realized that Ying Gao was dividing his troops, and this move really made it difficult for him.

In Handan City now, there are almost no famous generals who can defend the city. Pang Yuan died in the coup, and apart from Sima Shang, only Zhao Cong is left.

After thinking this, Lian Po turned to the deputy general and said: "Immediately send scouts to patrol the four gates and report the Qin army's movements one by one."

"At the same time, summon Sima Shang, Zhao Cong, and Lord Chunping and ask them to come to the city wall immediately."

"promise."

At this moment, Lian Po looked ugly. The difficulty of winning Gao was beyond his imagination. Although the army in the city was enough to defend the city, once the troops were dispersed, it meant that the risk became greater.

"Sima of the Chinese Army, send the order to continue the attack on the city -!" Although the troops were divided, Ying Gao never thought of stopping. He wanted to continue the attack on the city and pin down Lian Po at the south gate.

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, the Sima of the Central Army waved the command flag in his hand, and the five-color command flag on the chariot displayed a series of flag messages. At the same time, the Sima of the Central Army shouted at the messenger: "The general has an order: continue to attack the city - !”

"kill!"

In the process of seizing the city, Ying Gao's command was no longer needed. The dead soldier battalion moved forward, the armored soldier battalion followed, and the spearmen followed. This itself was a well-established procedure.

As for the crossbowmen, they are at the end.

The siege vehicles are still attacking the city, and the arrow formations here are still suppressing the Zhao army on the city wall, allowing the siege vehicles to continue attacking.

"General Ying, after dividing the troops, our soldiers are slightly short of strength. In comparison, Zhao Jun has more troops to defend the city." Fan Zeng knew that before this, General Wang Ben of Ying Gao was sent to the direction of Wu'an, which resulted in the loss of Wan Shengjun's support.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Lian Po is backed by the big city of Handan, so it is more convenient for our army to recruit soldiers and transport food and grass. Fortunately, the initiative in this battle is still in the hands of our army."

Having said this, Ying Gao smiled, looked at Handan in front, and said meaningfully: "If Zhao Cong takes action, regardless of success or failure, it will increase our army's chances of winning."

"In a war like siege and defense, in addition to the elite soldiers and the commanding ability of the general, the most important thing is that the general must be patient."

"It will be clear at a glance who wins until the end."

Compared with Ying Gao's relaxation, Lian Po was very busy at this time. He needed to dispatch troops and generals, and command soldiers to prevent the Qin army from seizing the city. He had to do it all by himself.

At this moment, Zhao Cong and others hurried over.

"I've met Yaxiang."

Looking at Zhao Cong and others covered in blood in front of him, Lian Po sighed and said: "Ying Gao divided his troops, I can only guard the south gate alone, and I can't take care of the other three gates."

"Zhao Cong, Chunping Lord, Sima Shang'er and others immediately go to Sanmen. We must not let the Qin army attack Handan City."

"promise."

Watching Zhao Cong and others leave, Lian Po looked at the Qin army below. He did not care about Zhao Cong and others killing Pang Yuan. At this time, the Qin army's attack was the most important.

Only by guarding Handan City can we have the capital to care about everything.

What's more, compared to Pang Yuan, a dead person, a living person is more useful.

"The archers continued to shoot from a distance, preventing the enemy from getting close to the city wall, and set up the fire and oil camp, and the stone and wood camp to kill the Qin army's dead soldiers and guard against the Qin army's invasion of the city."

"promise."

The messengers ran around and conveyed Lian Po's military orders one by one. At this time, Lian Po looked in the direction of the city gate with a trace of worry in his old eyes.

The Qin army's terrifying arrow rain suppressed it, making it difficult to kill the Qin army's siege chariots. If this continues, the city gate will be lost.

At this thought, Lian Po became fierce and gave a decisive order to the deputy general, saying: "Liu Yi, go there in person, organize the young men in the city, build earth behind the city gate, and seal all the gates on all sides to me."
