Qi country, Lixia city.

This city is also a relatively famous city within the Qi country.

It is famous, but it is not the core city of Qi State, and it has not yet reached the level of "five capitals".

Wudu is the five largest cities in Qi and the hub of the five major war zones in Qi.

Since Gaotang and Pinglu were occupied by the Zhao State, the Qi State now has only three capitals.

For the size of a city, Li Mu actually doesn't have much of an idea.

But there is one thing that Li Mu is very conceptual.

"Can this city explode?" Li Mu asked a Zhao craftsman beside him.

Yes, then this siege battle is very simple.

No, that's trickier.

Due to the importance and particularity of gunpowder, a small army of craftsmen has become the standard configuration of the Zhao army, and the leader of these craftsmen, the Zhao master who stands beside Li Mu, can even determine the way the Zhao army fights.

Looking at the Lixia city wall in front of him, the master of Zhao State frowned, and then said: "General, Lixia City is also a big city in Qi State, judging from the information sent back by Hu Yiwei before, if the people of Qi State have strengthened the city wall, then the earth-shaking thunder is likely to be ineffective."

As the so-called army did not move the intelligence first, with the strength of the Zhao State, Hu Yiwei became more and more powerful and active, and it was not difficult to get the data of the city wall at all.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Just give it a try."

It's not easy to try.

After all, if you want to dig a pit and bury mines under the noses of the defenders, you will definitely have to pay a price.

The price of Zhao's army was eight days and nearly two thousand lives.

Five days were spent filling the moat, and three days were spent digging pits and laying mines.

These 2,000 lives were not only paid for filling the moat and digging pits and laying mines, but also included the siege casualties of the Zhao army in other directions.

Li Mu's idea is also very simple, if he can directly break through Lixia City, then there is no need to waste the precious earth-shaking thunder.

After all, Zhao Jun has a very psychological advantage over Qi Jun, and Zhao Guo has always been the bitter master of Qi State, which is a well-known thing.

But this time, the fierceness of the Qi people's resistance was beyond Li Mu's expectations.

The offensive of the Zhao army was thwarted again and again, and even a general rushed to the top of the city, and was about to open a gap to break the city, but was killed by the crazy counterattack of the Qi people.

According to the previous battles between the Zhao army and the Qi army, whether it is a siege or a field battle, once the Qi army is opened a gap, it should be followed by escape and rout.

"These Qi people, haven't they taken medicine?" Li Mu was a little puzzled.

This is the first time that Li Mu has independently commanded an army of 200,000, and the result seems to be a bit unfavorable.

For a moment, he even had some doubts in his heart, could it be that he really wasn't the material to command the infantry army?

But this suspicion was immediately dispelled by Li Mu as soon as it appeared.

Any peerless general, the first thing he must have is peerless self-confidence.

Only with self-confidence can he make the calmest and wisest judgment at the most critical and critical moment, and thus lead his army to the end of victory.

Li Mu's self-confidence did not allow him to doubt his military strategy and his command art.

Since this is the case, then there must be something wrong with the people of Qi State.

Li Mu thought about it and felt that it was impossible for the people of Qi to improve the quality level of equipment or commanders in such a short period of time, and it was not the main force of Qi that was stationed in Lixia City.

Then there is only one reason.

Morale, or military spirit.

Li Mu found the person in charge of Hu Yiwei, who was with the army, and got the information after some communication.

Sure enough, just before the Zhao army attacked, a new doctor (city guard) came to Lixia City.

This new doctor is named Zhou Yang, and he is the younger brother of Zhou Fen, the current prime minister of Qi State.

Zhou Fen is an out-and-out anti-Zhao faction, so Zhou Yang was sent by Zhou Fen, and his position is unknown.

Zhou Yang was able to be sent to this bridgehead to fight against the Zhao army as a doctor, obviously he had some ability.

With only the 10,000 troops given to him by Zhou Fen and the support of the soldiers and civilians of Lixia City, Zhou Yang blocked Li Mu's attack to the death.

Fortunately, at this time, the gunpowder was also good.

Explode!

Li Mu gave an order, and the mountains shook in the city.

The walls collapsed and collapsed into a large slope.

The soldiers of the Zhao army swarmed along the slope and stormed the city.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Li Mu's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Half an hour later, the smile on the corner of Li Mu's mouth gradually disappeared.

Lixia City still hasn't been captured!

"What's going on?" When Li Mu said this, his temples kept beating.

The walls are broken, and the city can't be taken?

You must know that in terms of troops, the Zhao army is twenty times that of the Qi army!

Could it be that the people of Qi are all heavenly soldiers and generals, and one fight against twenty can't be done?

The answer is actually quite simple.

"Grand Duke, there's another wall inside the wall! We were blocked by that wall, and the Qi people shot arrows at us from above, and we suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw!"

Only then did Li Mu understand.

Urn City!

Strictly speaking, it should be called the Inner Urn City, because this Urn City was built within the gate of Lixia City.

Since it was impossible to break through the urn city, and gathered under the urn city, they could only be shot by the Qi people in vain, so the Zhao army that attacked the city finally had to withdraw outside the city along the gap.

Li Mu was extremely dissatisfied and found the person in charge of Hu Yiwei in the army.

"When you first gave the information, you didn't say that there was such a thing as an urn city in Lixia City!"

In order to allow the intelligence department to better cooperate with the army, Zhao Dan has sent the person in charge of Hu Yiwei in the army as a liaison messenger in recent years.

There's nothing to say, just one word - check!

The military situation was urgent, Hu Yiwei mobilized all his energy, and finally got the answer two days later.

The answer is actually very simple, this new urn city was actually built by Zhou Yang after he became a doctor in Lixia, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao army was still sending troops and sending generals, and there were no soldiers coming to the city.

The Zhao army gathered troops, then sent troops to Handan, and then went to the army, then besieged and dug pits and buried mines, and finally broke through the city.

Such a long time was enough for Zhou Yang to build a somewhat rudimentary, but functional urn city.

Li Mu looked at the person in charge of Hu Yiwei with some strangeness: "For such a long time, you haven't had any news?"

Looking at Li Mu's gaze, the person in charge of Hu Yiwei was ashamed to death.

It's not that Hu Yiwei's people didn't notice it, but because Hu Yiwei's people were too confident in Zhentian Lei, they didn't take the "broken city wall" built by Zhou Yang temporarily seriously.

Li Mu, who knew the truth, was also very speechless, and had the urge to hack all the Hu Yiwei in front of him to death.

"In the future, all military information related to the target city must be reported in detail and handed over to the General Staff for analysis!"

This incident gave Li Mu a lesson, that is, the military situation still has to be mastered and analyzed by himself.

Although Hu Yiwei is a professional spy, he is not a professional military spy.

Professional things really have to be done by professional people.

Adjutant General Xu Li asked: Governor, what should I do now?

Li Mu snorted, his eyes resolute: "What else can I do?" Hit, of course! Keep fighting!"

The city walls have been breached, can it be that just one urn city can stop the footsteps of the Zhao army's warriors?

Li Mu really doesn't believe in this evil.
