Xinzheng.

The Zhao army is besieging the city.

General Lian Po stood on a high platform and quietly watched the siege in front of him.

The city in front of it was originally the capital of Jeong-guk, and it has been the capital of Jeong-kook since Korea destroyed Jeong-kook more than 200 years ago.

Because it has been in the Central Plains of the four wars, South Korea has never relaxed its management of Xinzheng, and after two hundred years of operation, it is not an exaggeration to describe the entire Xinzheng City as impregnable.

Such a city is obviously not so easy to capture.

From Lian Po's personal point of view, as a leading general, Lian Po has commanded countless wars, and his nerves have long been as tough as steel, even if he witnessed countless Zhao soldiers going towards the city wall one after another, and then falling on the way to the siege one by one, his eyelids did not blink even once.

It's strange to say, but after the end of the daily war, the general of Zhao State will transform into a general who loves soldiers like a son, and anyone who has been with Lian Po for a long time knows that Lian Po's care for his soldiers is absolutely from the heart.

Loving soldiers like a son and ruthless, these two traits have achieved an almost perfect fusion in Lian Po's body, and also made him the number one general in Zhao and even the entire Chinese world.

Siege is actually a very boring thing to do, at least for commanders.

Trebuchets, chariots, crossbows, and ladders are all four kinds of continuous attempts, slowly depleting the defenders' vital forces.

The success of surprise attacks or something is actually very low in most siege battles, and these above board means are the main means of breaking the city.

Add to that, of course, a long siege.

As the sun gradually climbed into the sky, General Lian Po glanced up at the sky, and said very calmly to the Lecheng beside him: "Pass the order, Mingjin, let the soldiers who are besieging the city withdraw and eat." ”

The sharp sound of gold began to sound, and countless soldiers of the Zhao army withdrew like a tide. Some people scolded and said that they would be able to climb to the top of the city in half a tea time; Someone was smiling happily with a human head, and kept proudly declaring that what he had in his hand was the head of a hundred generals of the Korean army; But most of them just walked back to the camp with their heads bowed and their weapons in silence.

Le Cheng said in a low voice: "General, the siege casualties in the past two days are a bit large. ”

Lian Po snorted and said, "It's okay." ”

Lecheng's eyebrows twitched, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Since the last time Lecheng failed to enter Longtai, he could feel that Lian Po was obviously alienated from himself, and the reason why Lecheng was able to become a deputy general this time was also because Lian Po didn't want Ji Xin, who was closer to Pang Xuan, to become a deputy general.

All the things that could be said before, now Lecheng really can't say it.

Lian Po didn't look back, but his voice still floated to Lecheng's ears: "If you have anything, just say it, you are my lieutenant, and you have the right to express your opinion." ”

Le Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "General, I think that if this continues, will Handan ......?"

"Handan doesn't have to worry." Lian Po snorted and said, "The king handed over 450,000 people to me during the Battle of Changping, but now it is only 250,000 people, what is it?" ”

Lecheng shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, but from the look on his face, he could see that he was actually a little unimpressed.

These 250,000 Zhao troops led by Lian Po were almost the most elite troops in Zhao State, because they were all composed of standing troops.

At the time of the Battle of Changping, Zhao only had 150,000 standing troops, 50,000 county soldiers, and 250,000 temporary workers to fight against Qin.

And now, eight years later, Zhao State already has a standing army of 250,000 on the battlefield of Xinzheng alone, plus the scattered battlefields in Xihe County and Hejian to guard against the westward advance of Qi State, as well as the Handan Guard Army and the Border Cavalry Corps, etc., the total number of standing troops in the entire Zhao State exceeds 350,000, which is more than twice that of seven years ago.

The standing army, which is stationed in the barracks every day for training, is obviously completely different from the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers and the young farmers who train for three months every year.

Therefore, although the troops mobilized by Zhao in various battlefields in this battle were almost the same as those in the Battle of Changping, they were about 450,000, but it is not an exaggeration to describe the combat effectiveness inside.

If the 250,000 standing army of Lian Po is used to face the 450,000 troops at the time of the Changping Battle of Zhao State, Le Cheng feels that the current Lian Po should have a relatively large chance of winning.

Wouldn't it be a pity if such an elite army lost a lot of money in the attack on Xinzheng? Besides, don't forget that Yang Zhai not far away still has 150,000 Chu troops.

Just when Le Cheng was in a trance, thinking about whether to say this, Lian Po suddenly turned around and patted Le Cheng's shoulder.

"I know that you are worried about Yang Zhai, but Ju Xin is not weak, his leader is in his own right, so there is no need to worry about him. Although Huang Xie claims to be an army of 150,000, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people who can really fight, how can he capture Yangzhai City, which is defended by Xixin? The country of Chu is no longer the country of Chu back then! ”

When Lian Po said this, his face was full of confidence.

After a pause, Lian Po continued: "But a month's siege is indeed enough, starting tomorrow, it is enough to attack the city every three days, this Xinzheng City is obviously eager to take it is already impossible to capture, we must be prepared for a long-term siege." ”

"Long-term?" Le Cheng couldn't help but ask, "How long does the general think it will be?" ”

Lian Po thought for a while and said, "At least a year, or even longer." ”

Lecheng sighed with some regret: "It would be nice if the earth-shaking thunder could work......

In the past, Zhao Jun had tried to use the earth-shattering thunder to deal with the tall and thick city walls of Xinzheng, and although it succeeded in scaring the Koreans, it was not as successful as Yangzhai City.

The craftsmen were clearly right.

Lian Po smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, as long as Xinzheng is still under siege, then there will be no chaos in the whole battle situation." Moreover, have you forgotten that there is still Li Mu? He'll break the ice. ”

"Li Mu?" Le Cheng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say: "But what Li Mu has to face is Wang Qian's 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he himself only has 50,000 cavalry." ”

"Only 50,000 cavalry?" Lian Po couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Li Mu will complete everything he should do." ”

Le Cheng blinked, and suddenly felt that his general's confidence in Li Mu was really high.
