Chapter 236 Breaking the Thistle City, Tongyanbei (II)

Under the city wall, the Zhao army seized the opportunity to attack repeatedly, the soldiers were dressed in thick armor, some were holding shields, the shields were slightly bulky, some people simply threw them away, holding spears, and the other hand grabbed and climbed up quickly, the catapults opened the formation and kept smashing towards the city, the bow 61 crossbow battalion was as close to the city wall as possible, and the rushing cars crashed towards the city gate with a whistling sound, the Yan army's defense force was reasonably allocated, and the bow 61 crossbowmen hid behind the city wall and launched continuously, although the number was small, most of them were people with superb archery skills, and the destructive power of the rushing car was amazing, and the disadvantage was that it was too cumbersome, It takes more than ten strong men to launch at the same time, and once the attack force is unbalanced, the direction will deviate instantly.

The hidden archers in the city are proficient in the method of defense, holding bows and arrows, concentrating and calming, and each person's defense range is also arranged, so as not to shoot multiple arrows to one person, rushing to approach, and five people on the left side release arrows at the same time, the arrow speed is extremely fast, and the Zhao army on the left side is shot directly from top to bottom.

The miserable cry came out, the arrow hit the chest directly, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, the archers on the city quickly took the arrow and put it on the bowstring, the three figures fell down, the whole force was instantly unbalanced, the direction of the car deviated and went straight to the city wall, a loud bang came out, the huge wooden tip pierced deeply into the city wall, and the entire city wall trembled, fortunately it was strong enough.

"Zhao Jun is here again!"

Such words can be heard almost at any time, the Zhao army's offensive is non-stop day and night, the various camps take turns to fight, and the advantage of the number of people is fully exerted, which is not possible for the defenders of the city to do, the strength is limited, almost day and night fighting, the mental and physical consumption is extremely depleted, some people lean there, some people are so tired that they fall to the ground, and a moment of rest is the greatest satisfaction for extremely tired people.

"Fight, hurry, get up if you don't want to die."

The defender of the city will run back and forth in the future, completely supported by one breath, he is too tired, as long as he leans on it, he can fall asleep, this is terrible, the Zhao army's offensive is too fast, a nap can completely attack the other party, as the main general, it is the most clear that the only advantage of the Yan army is Gaocheng, once lost, all the efforts are in vain.

Dao Dao spear stabbed downward, almost the last strength, his body was backwards, he didn't want to get up, he just wanted to sleep well, as the boulders on the city kept falling, the Zhao army had to retreat backwards.

"Fetch the wine!"

The soldiers were stunned, Zhao Junjun was strict in discipline, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol on weekdays, so why did the king openly order someone to take the wine, "Don't take it yet." Zhang Liang hurriedly urged, the king's move must be useful.

"The more the merrier."

There is no lack of good wine in the Zhao army camp, the prohibition of alcohol does not mean that there is no wine, some occasions must be used, the time is not long, a team of soldiers came to the front with the wine jar, a burst of wine fragrance came out, some people couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, if they came a few sips and then rushed up must be energetic.

Zhao Kuo whispered a few words, Zhang Liang nodded again and again, and went straight to the mechanical battalion with good wine in the puzzled eyes of everyone, which is where the rushing car and catapult are located, and there are infantry and cavalry on both sides to prevent someone from attacking.

"The king has ordered all catapults to be replaced with this."

"It's such a waste, it's useless to say anything more."

"Do it."

The soldier quickly placed the jar full of spirits in the position used to launch the stones, adjusted the direction, the weight of the jar and the stone are different, and the force on the catapult also needs to be changed, fortunately, most of them are the best hands, and a good jar of wine is thrown high at the order.

The rich aroma came out, the defenders of the city did not know why, the wine jar was shattered, and the wine instantly covered the entire city wall, "It's wine!" I don't know who shouted, most of the soldiers in the city were so hungry and thirsty that they couldn't hold it anymore when they smelled the wine, so they leaned down one after another, and drank it with their hands.

"Put!"

The wine jar was issued one after another, and the lord of the city would see it in his eyes, and the Zhao people would definitely not be so kind, "Stop, those who dare to drink will be punished for collaborating with the enemy." ”

There is only life and death on the battlefield, Zhao Jun will definitely not be so kind, it is true, one after another fire arrows are ignited, seeing that the offensive is blocked, Zhao Kuo simply used the best fire attack method, lacking something that can burn quickly, and suddenly remembered that there are still hundreds of jars of good wine in the army, so he simply burned Jicheng.

The wine bubbled out from the wine jar, quickly filling the city wall, and the whole city wall was intoxicating, and the fire arrows shot upward, and the red light point instantly became larger, and finally became a piece.

Everyone was stunned, the siege camp also retreated, and the entire city wall was completely overwhelmed by fire, wailing, screaming, and the body of the Yan army kept writhing in the firelight.

"Wonderful, how did the king come up with the idea of breaking the city with this method?"

"Attack the gates."

Countless wine jars smashed to the city gate position, the catapult camp has undergone special training, the wine jar is issued accurately, the entire city gate is completely made of solid thick wood, which is coupled with many beams, which can resist the destruction of the city gate to the greatest extent, Yan Wang is prepared, but unfortunately the chess is a bad move, and it is absolutely impossible to think of a wine rain to bury all the hard work.

The city gate was on fire, the fire was fierce, and the 61 crossbowmen hiding in the city had to go down the stone stairs behind them, and the camps on both sides were completely affected by the fire, and the defenders of the city lost the strength to resist.

"Extinguish the fire!"

The rear has just formed a reserve battalion and quickly stepped forward, most of them are bullying and evil slaves, just stepped forward, and the altar of fire and wine thrown from outside the city fell into the city and exploded, and the broken tiles shot out, and from time to time someone hit the ground and wailed, stretched out his arms, and his companions were all in front of him, and no one wanted to stop.

The violent impact sound stimulated the fragile nerves of King Yan again and again, defeated, completely defeated, people on the horse stared blankly at the sea of fire in front of them, there were still people struggling in the sea of fire, one of the veterans was the most conspicuous, holding a sharp sword motionless, and the fire had already surrounded his body.

"Fight for the Yan Kingdom." The voice became weaker and weaker, and as the figure fell downward, the entire Jicheng defense completely fell, "King, leave from the north gate now, it's too late." ”

"The widow will not leave."

"Only when the king is alive can there be hope for the Yan Kingdom."

"Ask the king to leave immediately!"

A group of cronies knelt on the ground one after another, King Yan was helpless, it was useless to stay, turned the horse's head and went straight to the north gate, almost at the same time, the tall city gate fell in response, the Zhao army outside the door was like a tiger and wolf, and most of the guards of Yan were burned to death, and the remaining new troops fled one after another, and the whole Jicheng was in chaos, and some people took the opportunity to attack the royal city to try to reap the benefits.

"Zhao Jun is here, run."

The defeat is like a mountain, it is the most suitable for the Yan army, everyone is trying to escape, the entire north gate is suddenly crowded, in order to escape quickly, some people do not hesitate to hit the head of the person in front of them with a heavy object in their hands, the screams sounded, and the camp became more and more chaotic.

King Yan was guarded by his personal guards and left first, climbed to a high place and couldn't help but look back, the shouts at the north gate could be vaguely heard, a sound deeply pierced King Yan's heart, his fists were clenched, his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, hate, only hate.

Northland of Yan Kingdom

A person waved the stone hammer in his hand, the sparks splashed everywhere, and another wonderful sound was revealed in the thrashing sound, and the original noise became pleasant, and a person sat on the side, constantly hitting the freshly made firewood knife with the thing in his hand.

"It's a pity that such a natural sound is used here."

Gao Yanli smiled: "If there are no acquaintances, no matter how good the music is, it is useless." ”

"The Zhao army has conquered Jicheng!" The stone hammer in Jing Ke's hand smashed down hard, the force was obviously aggravated, and the blade was concave inward.

"Do you regret not doing it that day?"

Jing Ke shook his head, "Even if Jing Ke does it that day, he can't change the outcome, the angry Zhao army can still capture Jicheng, and then all the anger will inevitably be put on the people, if this is the case, Jing Ke will only become a sinner rather than a hero." ”

Gao Yuanli nodded, "In that case, why did you agree in the first place?" ”

"In addition to killing people, there are only two things that Jing Ke can't give up in his life, grace and affection!"

"Without this, Gao Yuanli will not visit again."

Jing Ke threw the iron weapon in his hand into the water, "Just get drunk and rest, there is wine today and drunk today." ”

"Good!"

The Zhao army conquered Jicheng, pacified the people in the city, and the army was stationed outside the city so as not to cause panic among the people, and everyone entered the city to strengthen the defense.

"But the two roads are divided, all the way to the northwest, to capture the border of Yanguo, all the way to the east, and occupy the area of Liaodong."

Zhao Kuo nodded, Zhang Liang's strategy coincided with his own, the general trend of Yan State has gone, and the division of troops can save time to the greatest extent, one route is commanded by Mu Chen, all the way to Zhang He, Bai Ying led the elite to stay in Jicheng, not much to say, King Yan did not dare to stay, passing through several city fortresses along the way, among which the defenders had already fled, and the city was in a mess, "Recovering the old land, how easy it is to say, Yan Guo is dead!" ”

"King, you can't give up just yet."

King Yan sneered, "The strong man drinks blood, the northern land sings, I think that although I have great ambitions in my life, it is a pity that what I inherited is just a thousand holes and it is difficult to continue the Yan Kingdom, no matter how hard I try, I can't compare with Qin and Zhao, the widow sighs that it is not today's defeat, it is really my Yan country's generals, look here." ”

The faces of the people were gloomy, and several people dressed as soldiers walked towards them with the goods they had snatched from the people, and with drunken faces, one of them drew his weapons and jumped over.

A few people were startled, and looked up and down at the people, after all, it was their own place, "Good dog don't get in the way, get out of the way." ”

"As a soldier, he was supposed to protect his family and defend the country, but now he is really doing this kind of thing, and he should be killed." With an angry shout, several people flashed out behind him again, with weapons in hand, and several people were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

"Forget it!"

King Yan stopped him by saying that he would definitely not let it go on weekdays, but now he has long lost his mood, "Don't get out of here." Several people hurriedly ran away, and there were quite a few people on the other side, and the most important thing was that they all had guys in their hands.

"Great King, from here, you can go to Liaodong County, so that you can go to sea to avoid the pursuit of the Zhao army."

"Where else to go!"

"King, the last general suddenly remembered one thing, when he was training on the water, the warship was blown away by the wind and waves, and I don't know how long I walked to a deserted island, but I can rush here first."

"Okay."

King Yan had to agree, there was nowhere to go, he left Qin with great difficulty, that experience can be called the biggest shame in his life, even if he died, he didn't want to enter Xianyang again, so he simply led his subordinates to overseas desert islands.
