The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Night

A Zhao army crossed the Hutuo River quietly under the cover of night. The Zhongshan army guarding Shenze did not know that the Zhao army had crossed the river quietly. After all, Zhongshan and Zhao had not fought for a long time.

"General, there is an enemy outpost ahead."

"Get rid of it!"

In the early morning

The defenders of Shenze knew that the Zhao army had crossed the Hutuo River, and the Zhao army was densely packed outside the city.

Zhao Ke, the commander of the Zhao army, drew his sword and said with a firm look: "Attack the city!"

Zhongshan State Court

Zhongshan Duke Ji Heng was a king who worked hard to govern the country. When he learned that Zhao State suddenly attacked, he asked calmly: "Everyone, Zhao State attacked my Zhongshan State, how should my country respond?"

The doctor Ji Hu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead 50,000 troops to resist the enemy!"

Ji Heng said happily: "The charge depends on Doctor Ji Hu, I will give you ten 10,000 troops, plus 300 chariots!"

A doctor stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, I thought that Doctor Ji Hu should not be sent to resist the enemy. Although Doctor Ji Hu is brave in battle, he has no strategy and I am afraid he will be defeated! It is better to ask Prime Minister Le Chi to lead the troops to resist Zhao!"

Ji Hu said unhappily: "Doctor Zhongjing! Am I bad at fighting? You know, I followed the lord to charge into battle and cut off the flag and captured the general many times! The Zhao army was beaten and fled!"

Zhongjing ignored him and continued to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army is different now. Their main general is Zhao Ke, and they have the super-smart Fei Yi to assist them. Although the prime minister is also old, the prime minister is the only one in Zhongshan who knows the details of the Zhao army very well! Please think twice!"

Ji Heng was also very unhappy, as if Zhongshan could not beat others without his prime minister Le Chi, and ordered: "Okay, let's do it!"

…………

On Shenze City, the flag of the Zhao army was planted on the tower. Zhao Ke wiped the sword in his hand and said proudly while wiping: "Zhongshan Army is really useless! There is no one to fight."

Fei Yi on the side reminded: "General Zhao Ke must not underestimate Zhongshan, Zhongshan has that person."

"Le Chi! But he is already an old man! The king of Zhongshan will definitely not use him again." Zhao Ke said confidently.

After all, as long as Zhongshan Kingdom does not send Le Chi, he is still very confident of defeating it. Le Chi is not an ordinary person. He assisted Zhongshan Henggong in defeating Wei Kingdom and successfully restored the country. He also defeated the Zhao army many times and successfully recovered the lost land from Zhao Kingdom. He also attacked Zhao Kingdom's cities many times when Zhao Jinghou was unprepared. Unfortunately, he did not succeed.

Fei Yi suggested: "While the army of Zhongshan Kingdom has not arrived yet, I think we should capture Wuji City first, so that the territory south of the Ci River will belong to our Zhao Kingdom!"

"Okay! That's it!"

Wuji City

The defender Le Ping had already learned the news of the Zhao army's attack, and quickly ordered the soldiers in the city to build fortifications and sentOrder all wells within a hundred miles to be filled with soil, and cut all crops, not to provide Zhao army with supplies.

His deputy general Mo Yang asked anxiously: "General, I heard that Zhao army sent 100,000 troops to attack our army. What should we do?"

Le Ping pretended that it was nothing, and said with a smile: "Zhao army does not have 100,000 people, but only 50,000 people, don't worry! Don't we still have 5,000 soldiers in the city? Why worry! Order the whole army to prepare for defense."

Mo Yang saw the relaxed look on the commander's face, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bow: "Yes, general!"

Le Ping gave another order: "Order the soldiers to prepare some fierce oil and strong liquor. All the strong liquor in the city will be classified as military supplies. Anyone who dares to oppose will be killed!"

"Yes!"

On the tower

Le Le Ping observed the surrounding terrain, and then said to the deputy general beside him: "Take 1,000 people and ambush in the jungle on the west side. When the enemy army is exhausted after attacking the city for four or five days, you take the opportunity to break out."

Mo Yang worriedly said: "What if the enemy finds us?"

Le Ping said calmly: "It's not that much. If we don't defend this city, we will all die! What can you say? Block the east gate, south gate and north gate, fill the three gates with mud and sand, and leave only the west gate!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ke led a 100,000-man army to Wuji in just two days. Zhao Ke then camped ten miles away from Wuji.

Inside the tent

Zhao Ke looked at the map and asked, "Brother Fei Yi, which gate do you think we should attack?"

"West Gate. The terrain at the east, south and north gates is not conducive to attack. Only the west gate is conducive to our army's attack. So I guess the enemy should not have set up defenses at the southeast and north gates, and should focus on guarding the west gate." Fei Yi replied.

"Well, I will lead the army to attack the city tomorrow!" Zhao Ke said impatiently.

The next morning

Fei Yi stood on the nest car and looked around. He found that there were birds circling in the nearby woods. He smiled and said to himself: "Birds rise and fall! Finally, he said to Zhao He, the general of the rear army: "Zhao He, you lead 10,000 people to that forest and get rid of those rats!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Fei Yi suddenly split his troops, Zhao Ke hurried over and asked, "Brother Fei Yi, why are you doing this? ”

“The bird rises, the bird falls! Unfortunately, as far as I know, there are only 5,000 soldiers in this city. There are not many soldiers to begin with, and they actually want to divide their troops to defeat me. It’s ridiculous! Attack the city!” Fei Yi said and returned to the camp.

Zhao Ke immediately came to the chariot, drew his sword and shouted: “Attack the city!”

Accompanied by the order of the commander Zhao Ke, the red military flag waved rapidly in the wind, and the messengers galloped on horseback between the square formations.

When the order was passed to various places in the square formation, the catapults in the Zhao army square formation began to make their own voices.

One by one, the stone bullets were placed on the catapults by the soldiers of the Zhao army, followed by hemp ropes.Being pulled quickly, the stone bullets were thrown towards Wuji in front with great power.

After a few breaths, these stone bullets, which kept making dull sounds of breaking through the air, crossed the distance between the two armies and landed directly on the top of Wuji City.

Some of these stone bullets hit the walls of Wuji, making them bumpy; others fell on the sky above the Zhongshan Army on the top of the city, leaving pieces of blood and flesh.

The exciting sound of war drums in their ears inspired the fighting spirit of the Zhao army soldiers. They held the sharp swords and heavy oars in their hands tightly and attacked the city wall in front.

"Shoot!"

Arrows rained down, and the Zhao army soldiers charged towards the city wall. Soon, several ladders were set up on the city wall.

Rolling logs and stones fell from the city wall. The Zhao soldiers climbing up below had no room to dodge and were hit by these heavy objects falling from the sky.

Some of the Zhao soldiers who were climbing up fell directly from the ladders, and some even rolled down with their comrades behind them.

The Zhongshan army kept throwing stones and rolling logs to try to stop the Zhao army from climbing the city. Some Zhongshan soldiers stabbed the Zhao soldiers one by one with spears.

The Zhao army was not frightened by the spears of the Zhongshan army. A Zhao soldier finally climbed the city wall under the cover of his comrades. At this time, he had no way to retreat and could only fight to the death to cover his comrades climbing the city. The Zhongshan army came to fight with him, and the Zhao soldier did not panic. He responded calmly and waited for an opportunity to attack.

After killing three people in a row, a colleague finally climbed up the city wall. Several people immediately formed a formation and fought the enemy on the city wall in an orderly manner.

Facing the surging Zhongshan soldiers in front, these Zhao soldiers used the close cooperation of the military formation to kill one Zhongshan soldier after another in front.

Originally, the number of Zhongshan soldiers was not as large as that of Zhao soldiers. Now that many troops were tied up in this place, the rest of the places inevitably fell into the dilemma of weak troops.

Soon, with the continuous progress of the war, more and more Zhao soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladders on the city wall. So far, in this battle of attack and defense of the city between Zhao and Zhongshan, the balance of victory has already tilted towards the Zhao army.

On the city wall, those Zhao soldiers who had already gained an advantage began to gradually expand the area they occupied with their comrades.

Under the city wall, the Zhao soldiers who were pushing the battering rams were about to achieve their goal.

Bang bang~~

Accompanied by a loud noise, "The city is broken!"

The Zhao army attacked the city like a flood. Le Ping saw that the city was broken and knew that he could not turn the tide, so he drew his sword and committed suicide.

As the sun set, Zhao Ke stood on the city wall with great pride, as if he was the best general in the world at this moment. Fei Yi came over with a secret document and said, "Zhongshan State has sent troops, and they are not far from us. It is estimated that they will arrive in three days. The enemy's army is as high as 100,000.. The general should not be underestimated. "

"I know, it's time to fight the Zhongshan army head-on, let them know that my Zhao State is also good at battles!"
