The state of Qin broke through the defense line of the state of Zhao with lightning speed, and attacked Handan directly in a north-south attack. And Zhao Cong, the general of Zhao State who was sitting on the front line, was bitten by Yang Duanhe of Qin State.

Everyone knows that as long as Zhao Cong retreats, he will be attacked by three lines. Even if Handan is besieged, Zhao Cong can't retreat, and what can give Zhao Guo hope now is that reinforcements from all over the country will come to support quickly.

This is a strange phenomenon, the king of Zhao will Zhao all parts of the country, the transfer of troops and horses is unknown, many generals can not find the position of other generals. If you want to send reinforcements, you can only send an order to King Zhao alone.

Everyone thought that Handan City was tall and strong, and it could still be done if it was delayed for ten days. And Ying Zheng's order to the front must take Handan within three days, and never give Zhao Guo any respite.

This stumped Wang Qian, and temporarily divided his troops to attack, although it was going well, but if he wanted to attack a big city like Handan, the logistics couldn't keep up at all. It takes at least two days to make siege equipment, and it is basically impossible to take Handan City in three days.

But Yingzheng gave such an order, Wang Jian bit his teeth, and asked Wang Ben, Li Xin and others to take turns attacking the city, day and night. Even if you use human lives to pile up, before the arrival of Yingzheng, the banner of Daqin can be planted on the wall of Handan.

Two days have passed, and there is still no effect, Handan City has not even used the boiling oil pot for defense, where can it be attacked.

Li Xin hurriedly said: "General, if you want to take Handan City within three days, it is simply impossible. The high walls of Handan City are thick, the loss of cloud ladders is very large, and the Zhao army defending the city does not even use the boiling oil pot for defense, and our troops are not enough. ”

If you want to attack the city, you must at least ten times the strength in the city, and the logistics of the Qin army can't keep up, so it is impossible to attack it in such a short time. Seeing that the military merits in hand could not be obtained, many Qin army generals were anxious.

Wang Jian smiled bitterly: "The king's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the strategy for the Battle of Handan was all planned by the king. Originally, I thought that the road of Jingcheng was impassable, and the Zhao army should have a large number of troops stationed there, but what was the result? Although there were many Zhao troops, they were all in the field, and they were scattered by a few charges of the Qiang soldiers, and most of them surrendered. ”

"As for where the Qiang Qi went, the general didn't know, just to watch those surrendered troops, he took more than 10,000 troops from our army. In the entire battlefield, most of the troops are in Yang Duanhe's hands, and we can't transfer them at all, Yang Duanhe must bite Zhao Cong to death. ”

"Our army now has 100,000, and there are 50,000 Zhao soldiers in Handan City, one to two, if you want to take Handan, it is difficult and difficult. There are not enough troops, the front is too long, and the logistics are not in place. I understand what the king means, if you can't take Handan City within ten days, you can only withdraw the army, and reinforcements from all over the Zhao State will definitely arrive. ”

Wang Ben said helplessly: "The time limit given by the king is only three days, and the time is too short. ”

Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "I don't say a lot about the king, this strategy, since the king has given it, there must be follow-up measures that have not been used." For the general, there must be no complaints. ”

All the generals in the big tent said in unison: "Wow." ”

Wei Yu sighed: "All the strategies have been used, it is still a problem of troops and logistics, if you want to attack Handan City, what other strategies can be used?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed bitterly, Wei Yi's battle strategy was very clever, this time Wang Qian's troops marched so fast, and they were able to settle those surrendered troops so well, and they made great contributions. Now even he can't do anything, what else can anyone else think.

The sky is getting dark, the generals are still helpless, and Yingzheng's royal car has arrived.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji walked into the big tent side by side, followed by Lilac and Anjou, and Zhao Ji followed by a rugged strong man.

The two sat on the main seat, and Zhao Ji asked, "General Wang Qian, when will Handan City be captured?" ”

Wang Jian thought carefully and replied, "It will take seven days." ”

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji shook their heads at the same time, Zhao Ji asked the strong men beside him, and said, "Qiang my son, do you have a way to attack Handan City?" ”

This strong man is none other than Qiang Qiang, the leader of the Qiang soldiers who was temporarily transferred by Zhao Ji.

Qiang said: "Mother, my sons and daughters will only fight on the plains, but not in siege warfare. Steppe nomads, the highest tribal fence, only one zhang high. The city wall of Handan was five feet tall, and the cavalry could not get within two hundred steps of the city wall. ”

Zhao Ji frowned and said: "Seven days is too long, reinforcements from all over the Zhao Kingdom will come soon, the battle of Qin and Zhao cannot be a war of attrition." Zheng'er, if you formulate such a strategy, you should have a follow-up strategy. ”

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Seven days is indeed too long, if you want to take Handan City, you still have to use the same strategy." We can let Zhao Guo change generals and transfer Li Mu away, then the next step should be to rebel against King Zhao. ”

"General Wang Qian, give the order to go down, stop the siege tonight, write a letter of surrender overnight, and shoot into Handan City. By the way, I told the Zhao people in the city that the king drove the expedition in person, not only brought 300,000 troops, but also brought 2 million loads of grain and grass. ”

At the same time, the king promised that as long as Zhao Qian surrendered to Kaicheng, the temple of Zhao Guozong would still be preserved, and wherever the army went, there would be no offense against Zhao Renqiu. Violators, beheaded. ”

Everyone's eyes widened, they couldn't believe that if King Zhao had surrendered, he would have surrendered a long time ago, how could he wait until now. Now the situation is obvious, the Qin State will not be able to attack Handan City within ten days, as long as the word 'drag' is used, the Qin army will naturally retreat.

At this time, the king of his own family actually wanted to let King Zhao surrender, unless Zhao Qian was a fool, or he couldn't be mediocre anymore.

Ying Zheng seemed to have everything under control, and said: "Do according to the king's orders, the whole army is up and down, burying the pot and cooking, and everyone sings military songs." This night, I want to let Daqin's war song spread all over Handan City. ”

At the same time, Wei Yu received the order of Yingzheng, held the envoy's scepter, called open the gate of Handan, and went to persuade King Zhao to surrender. Walking into the city gate, there was a Qin military song behind him:

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! ”

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

……

Wei Yi shuddered, can King Zhao really surrender? Although Zhao Wangqian is playful by nature, he is much more backbone than King Han. At the door of someone else's house, singing the war song of the Qin State is tantamount to slapping Zhao people in the face.

If you go by yourself, you will probably be killed by the angry King Zhao. But Yingzheng's order was given, and if he didn't go, he couldn't do it, so he still tried to deal with the words as much as possible, so as not to anger the other party. Fortunately, there is a tradition of 'two armies fighting, not beheading', otherwise Wei Yu would not dare to come.
