My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 190 Da Qin version of fear of insufficient firepower!Lao Deng, blast the gold coins!
Ten days later.

In Wu'an City, [-] Zhao soldiers guarded it.

In the south of Wu'an City, 20 Zhao troops, led by Hu Zuo, watched and helped each other with the force of Wu'an City.

To the west of Wu'an City, 20 Qin troops set up a military camp as solid as a mountain. Soldiers were constantly pouring out or returning to the camp, harassing the Zhao army like mosquitoes and flies.

Huan Jue stood on the command podium and spoke in a deep voice: "Da Qin's strategy has been seen through by Zhao Guo."

Wang Jian nodded slightly: "King Zhao is not a wise king, but he is definitely not a faint king."

"This person has some flaws in his character. He is nostalgic, indecisive, has shortcomings in personal ethics, and is obsessed with men and women."

"But King Zhao is not lacking in talent."

“It’s only natural that our Great Qin’s strategy for this battle has been seen through.”

Wang Jian seldom spoke in the court, and his image in the court was also that of a fool and a rough-and-tumble man.

But in fact, Wang Jian is one of the very few generals in the world who can play well in the court.

Before going on the expedition, Wang Jian had already expected that he would face the main force of the Zhao army, and had already made preparations to fight the main force of Zhao with 20 Qin troops.

Huan Jue sighed softly: "Zhao General Hu Noi led the main force of the Zhao army to come, but half of our army is under Xiuyu City."

"In this battle, our Daqin army is actually very thin."

"I only hope that Lord Chang'an can come to help immediately after receiving the military order!"

Wang Jian smiled: "I thought Lord Chang'an would not come to help."

Huan Yan's eyes were stunned: "How could General Wang have such an idea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed over, shouting: "General Cheng Yu's troops are rushing to report to the army and make way!"

Quickly leading the messengers to the command podium, Huanjue opened the cloth bag and took out the bamboo slips.

After verifying the seal, Huan Yan cut open the mud seal, unfolded the bamboo slips, and recited in a deep voice: "The Zhao army has increased its troops by 20 to rescue the Wei State. The above general Pang Nuan is the main general, and General Qingshe is the assistant. Together with Wei, [-] troops are guarding Xiuyu City."

"So far in the battle, our army has killed more than [-] people and gained more than [-] soldiers. The enemy has lost about [-] people. General Qingshe has been awarded the death penalty."

"I thought General Wang's troops were safe, so I will continue to lead the army to attack Xiuyu City, involve the Zhao army for the general, and have reported the follow-up strategy to the King."

"If General Wang needs it, you can summon me again, and I will immediately reinforce General Wang's troops!"

"On the third day of the first month of the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army was led by Lord Chang'an."

Wang Jian looked surprised: "Facing Zhao General Pang Nuan, how can we still gain [-] yuan with more than [-] battle losses?!"

"I wish I could talk to Lord Chang'an face to face and learn how Lord Chang'an achieved such results!"

Wang Jian is the Qin general who is most familiar with Pang Nuan.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in the Fifth Five Kingdoms War against Qin was Zhao General Pang Nuan, and the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army was Wang Jian.

The two fought fiercely in the Guanhai territory. With Pang Nuan having an absolute advantage in strength, even Wang Jian was unable to parry.

Now Ying Chengyu actually won such a great victory at the hands of Pang Nuan? !

Even though Wang Jian has continuously raised his evaluation of Ying Chengyu due to the battle to destroy Han and the battle of Qinian Palace, Ying Chengyu's performance in this battle still far exceeded Wang Jian's expectations!
Huan Yan's eyes were stunned: "Knowing that our Great Qin plan has been defeated and the main force of the Zhao army has moved to Wu'an, Chang'an Lord is still unwilling to join the Zhao battlefield, and even continues to attack Xiuyu City?"

"Why is this!"

Huanjue's focus is different from Wang Jian's.

For Wei Qi and Wei State, the battle of Xiuyu City is very important.

This is the only important city between Daliang City and Daqin.

If Xiuyu City falls, Wei will have no choice but to move its capital, or let the capital face Qin's military front!

But for Great Qin, and even for Zhao State, the battle of Xiuyu City was not important.

Da Qin hoped to involve the Zhao army through the battle of Xiuyu City.

Zhao Guo hoped to draw back the Qin army's strength through the battle of Xiuyu City.

Judging from the current war situation, Qin fell into Zhao's trap.

Ying Chengyu won at the tactical level.

But Da Qin was defeated at the strategic level!

In Huanjue's view, Ying Chengyu should immediately increase the number of troops on Zhao's battlefield, allowing Da Qin to form a superior force in Zhao and accelerate its advance.

Why do both Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu want to let Ying Chengyu's troops continue to attack Xiuyu City?
Wang Jian smiled: "Because Lord Chang'an can see clearly that the Zhao State cannot sit back and watch the Wei State perish."

"It seems that Zhao State used 20 troops to hold back the [-] Qin troops led by Lord Chang'an."

"But if Lord Chang'an attacks Xiuyu City and forces his troops to attack Daliang City, what will Zhao do?"

"They just sit back and watch Daliang City besieged by heavy troops and continue to resist our army."

"Or dispatch troops and horses to reinforce Wei and weaken the defense of our army?"

"Zhao Guo is in a dilemma!"

Strategy and tactics complement each other.

In the case of strategic failure, tactical success is not unbreakable.

As long as Wang Jian and Ying Chengyu's troops maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness, then the Qin Dynasty's plan to build plank roads secretly in Chencang can be transformed into a strategy to encircle Wei and force Zhao!

Huan Jue frowned: "Can Lord Chang'an really attack Xiuyu City and force his troops to Daliang City?"

"If Lord Chang'an can do it, Zhao will be in a dilemma."

"If Chang'an Jun can't do it, then the 20 soldiers and horses will really be held back!"

Wang Jian took the military report from Huan Yan's hand, looked at the words carved by Ying Chengyu, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why Lord Chang'an trusts me so much."

"But since Lord Chang'an trusts me deeply, how can I not trust Lord Chang'an!"

After gathering the military report, Wang Jian looked at Wu'an City: "Send the order! Attack the city!"

……

It was early morning on January 25, the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty.

The Qin army once again sent a hundred warriors to attack Xiuyu City.

But after crossing the moat, the first warriors did not directly set up a ladder.

Because the ground covered with thick ice cannot bear the force at all!
After taking half of the casualties, the warriors finally cut some dents in the ice.

Inserting the end of the ladder into the pit, knocking down the ladder and hooking it to the city wall, the first warriors finally launched today's charge.

"kill!!!"

Roars resounded across the battlefield.

Ying Chengyu, who was standing on the command podium, was looking at Shui Jue in front of him.

Half an hour later, Ying Chengyu turned the water jue upside down and let the water mixed with ice fall into his palm.Feeling the temperature in the palm of his hand, Ying Chengyu said softly: "The temperature has almost warmed up."

The lower the temperature, the stronger the layer of ice outside Xiuyu City. Even if it is burned with oil, the melted water will quickly condense into ice again, and even a fierce attack will be of little use.

If the temperature is too high, the moat of Xiuyu City will thaw. The Qin army will no longer be able to cross the moat and directly attack the wall of Xiuyu City. Ying Chengyu believes that Pang Nuan will be able to make fun of the moat.

Based on the condensation speed of the water in Shui Jue, Ying Chengyu believed that today was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "The great craftsman Cao Mao and the great craftsman Qi Ai!"

Soon, two craftsmen hurried to the central army.

Without any courtesy, Ying Chengyu asked directly: "How many catapults do our army have now?"

Cao Mao, who had two big dark circles under his eyes, immediately said: "There are twenty catapults that have been put into combat."

"Another 84 catapults have been built and stored in the supply camp."

Qi Ai, who also had two dark circles under his eyes, raised his hands and reported back: "Our unit has built six thousand boulders that are easy to throw!"

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Order!"

"All counterweight catapults and cable trebuchets outside the north and east city gates will be transferred to the south and west city gates."

"Deploy 24 catapults to the west gate and [-] catapults to the south gate."

"The stone bullets are also prepared in proportion!"

Cao and Mao hurriedly handed over their hands: "Wei!"

All the catapults hoarded by the Qin army were pushed onto the battlefield, and Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Every trebuchet unit on the rope is listening to the order!"

"Petroleum bombs, ten consecutive shots!"

"Command! Jiang Ming's crossbowmen are pressing forward, and the fire arrows will not stop!"

Wang Pan immediately ordered: "Prepare the slingers!"

"Load the petroleum bombs!"

Forty cable trebuchets have been set up outside the west and south cities.

Following Wang Pan's order, four thousand soldiers grabbed the rope.

After the petroleum bomb was put into his pocket, Wang Pan shouted: "Pull!"

Four thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Hey! Ha! Hey!"

Accompanied by the trumpet, the tip pole was raised, and the can loaded in the leather pocket was thrown towards Xiuyu City.

Not surprised, the soldiers of Zhao Wei opened the sandbox and prepared to immediately sprinkle sand and bury the oil bomb according to the impact point.

But Wang Pan's order has been issued again: "Reload!"

Jiang Ming shouted at the same time: "First row, load the fire arrows, raise your head high, target directly in front, release!"

Rounds of oil were thrown towards Xiuyu City.

The fire arrows shot at the city wall in three rounds, greatly shortening the time that Zhao Wei's soldiers could bury the oil.

The fire quickly exceeded the handling limit of Xiuyu City soldiers and became more and more intense!
Watching the flames melt the ice into water from a distance and flow down the city wall, Ying Chengyu ordered again: "Counterweight trebuchet, throw!"

Accompanied by the sound of creaking wood, one hundred and four stone bullets weighing over a hundred kilograms smashed into Xiuyu City!

The flames soften the ice, making it easier for rocks to crack it.

The broken ice layer increases the contact area with oil and flames, and it doesn't take long for it to melt into water and drip down.

The flames followed the icy water down the city wall, signaling the end of this round of attacks.

But a new round of oil, flames and stone bombs has followed, continuing to weaken the ice outside Xiuyu City!
Ying Chengyu took a step forward, walked to the edge of the podium, grabbed the railing with both hands, and shouted sternly: "Keep throwing stones from the catapult!"

"do not stop!"

"Give me a fucking blow!"

No feelings.

There is no skill.

Only the blowing force is saturated to the point of overflowing!

The earth is trembling and the city walls are wailing!
After two hours of continuous saturation attacks, the right half of the west wall of Xiuyu City collapsed!

The allied forces of Zhao and Wei immediately pushed the gate-blocking knife cart to block the gap.

The west gate of Xiuyu City opened, and thousands of infantry rushed out.

Ying Chengyu immediately ordered: "Personal soldiers press forward to block all invading enemies."

"Deploy twenty catapults to repair the west gate of Yucheng and smash it for me!"

Meng Wu hurriedly said: "General, if you throw stones to block the west city gate, how will our army rush into the city?"

Ying Chengyu said nonchalantly: "As long as the city wall is broken, there will be city gates everywhere!"

"Smash!"

Outside Xiuyu City, the allied forces of Zhao and Wei fought to the death, and the war became unprecedentedly intense.

But the Qin army's catapults continued to roar.

After another hour of indiscriminate bombardment, the west wall of Xiuyu City almost completely collapsed, and most of the south wall of Xiuyu City also collapsed. The gate jammers prepared in Xiuyu City were no longer enough to block the gap.

All the generals looked at Ying Chengyu with burning eyes.

In their view, now is the time for a general attack!

But Ying Chengyu ordered again: "The catapult advances slowly, stops every five feet forward, and throws two rounds of stone bombs!"

Wang Pan didn't know why, but he ordered without hesitation: "Get the stuck stone and move the catapult forward!"

More than a hundred catapults slowly approached Xiuyu City, and the impact points of the stone bullets gradually moved from the walls of Xiuyu City to the inside of Xiuyu City.

When the six thousand stone bombs were all used up and the catapult had arrived twenty feet outside Xiuyu City, Ying Chengyu finally shouted excitedly: "Beat the drum!"

"Total attack!"

The eight warriors took off their shirts, revealing their muscular upper bodies, and held heavy hammers to beat the main battle drum.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

More than [-] Qin troops roared in unison:

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"
