Outside the city of Handan, the land of the Zhao army.

They were surrounded by the Qin army in a village with reservists, and the village was all male, with as many as 3,000 men, and outside them there were at least 20,000 Qin troops.

The Qin army did not accept prisoners, of course, the Qin army did not persuade them to surrender, and these Zhao people had no intention of surrendering, when they saw the Qin army rushing towards them, they took the initiative to meet the battle.

Although there is a big gap between them and the Qin army in terms of numbers and equipment, this group of Zhao people did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but held weapons and fought a decisive battle with the Qin army.

Although the cavalry of the Qin army attacked, the three thousand Zhao people lost as much as half, and only one hundred people remained.

And the leader was an old man, who was also a general, and later retired, came here and made him the commander of the reserves.

The Qin army rode on a war horse, looked at this old man, and respected this old man very much, although this old man was over sixty years old, but he still rushed to the front to fight with the Qin army.

People are already so old, but they are still so brave and not afraid of death, this kind of person is deeply admired by Qin Jun.

After all, the older a person gets, the more he fears death, and the more he understands the beauty of the world.

A Qin army captain walked out on a war horse, and then looked at the Zhao people in front of him: "Everyone, I respect you very much, but the military order is like a mountain, I can't disobey it!" ”

The old man looked at the captain of the Qin army and said: "We, the old Zhao people, none of them are of the wrong species, since you are here, we will face the battle and never retreat!" ”

The group of reservists behind the old man shouted one after another: "We will never back down, and we are willing to fight to the death with the Qin army!" ”

The two sides fought again, and in the end, the Zhao people were defeated and trampled by the Qin army, this kind of thing has been happening in the village outside Handan City in Zhao.

The base camp of the Qin army outside Handan.

A young man walked in, he looked at Wang Ling and said, "General, the Zhao people stationed outside Handan City have been settled!" ”

The young man was Wang Ling's lieutenant general, named Cheng Li, a young man, around twenty years old, but only twenty years old, he had already become a major general of the Qin State.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Cheng Li's martial arts, Qin is a military merit system, so meritorious service can be promoted, Cheng Li is young, he relied on his own military merits to kill, and became a major general of Qin.

Of course, there is a big reason for this, because he has protected Wang Ling many times, Cheng Li is not only Wang Ling's deputy general, but also Wang Ling's bodyguard and guard.

Protect the royal tomb many times and break out of danger.

Because Wang Ling was named the commander of the Qin army's Eastern Crusade, his position was promoted to general, and at the same time, he was exceptionally sealed as a thorough waiter.

As for the name of the marquis, the name of the monarch or something, after the end of the war, he will be given the title.

Because the commander of the Qin army must be the most senior person in the twenty military merit system, since Wang Ling is the commander, he must be sealed and waited, which is in line with the rules of the Qin State.

Of course, Qin Guo can be a handsome person, as well as Wang Jian and others, but Yingji believes in Wang Ling, after all, he was recommended by Fan Ju.

And Wang Qian's status is too high, if he is given such a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Sigui has not yet been resolved, and in the emergence of a powerful Dongxiang Wang family, civil strife will inevitably break out in this Qin State. Let's read a book

After hearing Cheng Li's return, Wang Ling laughed and said, "Good, good!" ”

"General, are you going to prepare for the siege?" Cheng Li looked at Wang Ling and said.

"Now that the garrison has been solved, the rear is already worry-free, of course, we must hurry up and attack Handan City, the day Handan City is broken, it will be the time when Zhao Land will return to my Qin State!" Wang Ling looked at everyone and said.

And Sima Cuo looked at Wang Ling: "General, with the meaning of the last general, now is not a good time to attack!" ”

Wang Ling frowned and looked at Sima Cuo: "What do you mean?" Why isn't this a good time to attack? ”

"Li Wusheng is stationed in Yashan, a little away from us, and according to the report from the spies, he has the intention of watching from the wall."

"And the city is under the siege of our Qin army, although according to intelligence, there are 100,000 people, and there is enough food and grass, but our weapons, our soldiers, that are the strongest!"

"And the Zhao army defending the city must be afraid, and the Zhao people in the city will definitely panic, as long as we reach the power, Handan City will be broken!" Wang Ling looked at Sima Cuo and said.

Wang Ling thought that with his soldiers and horses, he could completely break through the city of Handan, although there was a gap between the number of people besieging the city and the number of people defending the city, but they were all elite divisions, and their morale was very high.

On the other hand, the Zhao army, because of the defeat of Changping, their morale dropped greatly, and Handan City was besieged, and the city must have fallen into panic.

And Sima Cuo looked at Wang Ling and said: "In my opinion, we will wait for General Zhang Han to come here, and it will not be too late to attack!" ”

"In this way, we have enough troops to fight for three days in a row, without stopping!"

"Handan City is a solid city, it needs to be attacked day and night, and it can't be stopped, and 100,000 people go to attack the city, and the energy can't be converted!" Sima Coo looked at Wang Ling and said.

Wang Ling smiled, obviously not taking Sima's wrong words to heart, he thought that there was an advantage in the army now, and Wei Wuji's soldiers and horses and Li Wusheng's soldiers and horses were not here.

This is the best time, if the other side is attacking together, I am afraid that the disparity in manpower will be reversed.

And only if they break through Handan City, can they mobilize reinforcements from the Qin State, if they can't break through, he will not only disgrace Fan Ju, but more importantly, he may not be able to save his life.

It is also the reason why he is eager to attack the city, if the later he attacks the city, the more unfavorable it is, and if he can't break through Handan, there will be no reinforcements from the Qin State, so that their people will be bigger and fewer, and they will become a lone army, and eventually the whole army will be wiped out in this Zhao land.

Wang Ling looked at Sima Cuo and said, "Are you a general, or am I a general?" ”

After listening to Wang Ling's words, Sima Co was stunned for a moment, and then just wanted to get angry, Meng Fei on the side stood up, looked at Wang Ling and said: "Although you are a general, but you have become a general by exception, I and Sima Coo, who is worse than you?" ”

"What strength you have, don't you know yourself?" Meng Fei looked at Wang Ling unhappily and said, he was not used to looking at Wang Ling in his heart, and he did not approve of Wang Ling's general in his heart.

Generals are generally promoted by military merit, and when the 20-level military merit system reaches the full stage, they will be crowned generals.

And Wang Ling is an exception, his military exploits did not reach the level of Chehou, but he was named Chehou, and he was even named a general to lead the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

And Bai Qi's death, Meng Fei and Sima Cuo both thought that this Wang Mausoleum was to blame, they felt that Wang Ling relied on the power of the court to kill Bai Qi, and stepped on Bai Qi's corpse to become a general.
