Chapter 425 Xianyang New Army

At the beginning of the sun, the whole Xianyang city is shrouded in it, Zhao Kuo stands on a high place and can see clearly, it is worthy of being the capital of Qin, the scale should be above Handan, the size of the four gates, the roads in the city are wide, the roads are connected, the houses in the outer city are scattered, Xianyang is rich, the people are happy, but unfortunately it is always impossible to avoid the baptism of war.

Zhao Kuo gave an order, the camp of the Zhao army advanced, the defenders above were waiting, a general was located above the city tower and leaned down to look down, the army of Zhao was more than 200,000, the camp was neat, the front army was all elite, the Chinese army was in a large array, and then the rear supplies, crunch, crunch, hundreds of tall catapults were the most eye-catching.

"Prepare for war."

The archers above the city wall have stepped forward, bent down, bows and arrows in hand, just wait for the other party to approach and immediately launch an offensive, the siege war is the most cruel, the fight is the force, almost relying on human life in exchange for the final victory, Sun Tzu has a saying in the art of war, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are for the battle, and the siege is for the next battle, the siege means of the Warring States period are relatively single, mostly suppressed by catapults and hard crossbows, and then attack the opponent's city gate with a rushing car, and the wooden ladder alone can not be done at all if you want to attack the strong city wall.

"Stop."

One person waved his hand, the Zhao army camp stopped, and the formation was set up along the way, the shield array was lined up, the spear array was divided left and right, the catapult slowly moved forward, and the elite cavalry on both sides escorted, Zhao Kuo knew that Xianyang City must be a bitter battle, if it were not for the trick to deceive Wang Jian out of the pass to pursue, it would also take a few years to forcibly capture Hangu Pass, and the casualties were far more than now.

Lü Buwei got the news and went straight to the west gate of the city, followed by dozens of dead soldiers, running forward along the long street, behind the city wall is where the defender camp is, there is a distance from the city wall, worried that the counterattack on the city will be affected, the distance is close, only to see that the back of the city gate is blocked by a high pile of sand and stones, from the outside of the city can not see any clues, the inside is filled with sand and stones, even if the other party uses the car to hit the same can not play a role.

Lu Buwei had already prepared, the Chamber of Commerce had stored enough grain and grass for at least the defenders of Xianyang City and the people to eat for two years, the treasury inventory was also not a few, the combat materials were complete, and there was no flaw in the entire Xianyang City that could be caught by Zhao Kuo.

The footsteps sounded, Lü Buwei climbed up the stone steps along the city wall, the guard bowed to the side, Lü Buwei's figure appeared and hurriedly stepped forward, the guard was originally Lü Buwei's old department, and with the rebellion of Chang Yu, he simply used the old department.

"How's it going?"

"The soldiers are coming to the city, and the Zhao people will launch an offensive at any time."

Lu Buwei nodded, came to the front and looked down, there was a person sitting in the middle of the banner was Zhao Kuo, more than ten years have passed, compared to the year has become more calm and sophisticated, this battle is also what Lu Buwei does not want to see, the reason is not in detail, especially when he sees his daughter flashing eyes, Lu Buwei's heart will hurt.

No one knows how much she has suffered over the years, and her temperament has also changed greatly, the arrogant and rude girl back then became melancholy at this time, and even was in a daze alone, what was she thinking, whether she hated that man in her heart, Lu Buwei couldn't ask, he could only guess.

"Zhao Kuo is desperate to capture the West Gate." How smart Lu Buwei is, he can see Zhao Kuo's intentions at a glance, and in the past, he may choose the method of siege, the strength is superior, and Zhao Kuo is the best at encircling and not attacking, so it is reasonable, just a point, Xianyang Four Gates, the situation is not clear, once the troops are divided into four teams, one of them was suddenly attacked by the Qin army in Xianyang City, and it is impossible to do it if you want to quickly reinforce, Xianyang City is too big, so it is most suitable to simply break through one of them and break the defense of Xianyang from the inside.

"Zhao Kuo, do you still recognize the old man?" Lü Buwei stood on the city wall and shouted below.

Zhao Kuo urged him to step forward, the long sword hung aside, and he smiled, "When I got the grace of your sword, this king always remembered it in his heart and didn't dare to forget it." ”

Lu Buwei laughed, "The two armies are fighting, each is its own master, don't forget, the old man could hurt you back then, and now he can do the same, or listen to my advice, return to Handan, and be your free king." ”

"King Xiaoyao, a good sentence, the world is undecided, Handan is always under threat, how to be stable, how to be free!"

"This is the simplest, today under the two points, you can make a covenant, with Changping as the boundary, you will not be allowed to invade for life, so you can avoid the suffering of swords, what does the king think?"

Lü Buwei advocated peace, but it was just a temptation, with Zhao Kuo's personality, he would definitely not agree, and he was also particular about fighting, and he could not win by relying on a fierce force, and those who won the world since ancient times must obey the will of the people and get the will of God, and if he wants to get the support of others, he must always have an acceptable reason to support.

The army of Zhao State is coming to the city, if you don't fight, you will die, the Qin people have a reason to fight to the death for survival, once the war is unfavorable, it is inevitable that someone will retreat, or come up with other ideas, what Lü Buwei has to do is to completely cut off everyone's thoughts, these words are more suitable from Zhao Kuo's mouth.

"This king thinks that Lu Xiangguo should immediately open the city gate and let my army enter the city, this king promised you not to hurt the people of Qin, and after the world is pacified, I will worship you as the face of the world instead of Qin, what about it?"

Lü Buwei used psychological tactics, he didn't want Zhao Kuo to take the lead and promise benefits in front of everyone, at that moment, the eyes of the soldiers above the city wall couldn't help but fall on Lü Buwei, this move was the most terrifying, even more terrible than swords and spears, killing people and punishing the heart, Lü Buwei laughed, "King Zhao's good intentions, Lü Mou has to be reused by the king first, he should be dedicated to Qin in this life, and now the two countries are at war, it is useless to say more." ”

Lü Buwei's face sank, Zhao Kuo snorted coldly, patted the horse back, the relationship between the two was extremely delicate, in the early years, because of the arrogance of Wei Mu to join forces, and then Lü Buwei entered Qin, Zhao Kuo controlled Zhao State, invisibly became an opposing trend, and in the first battle Lü Buwei used tricks to seriously injure Zhao Kuo, because Lu Niangrong and the two established contact again, but Zhao Kuo didn't know.

I don't know doesn't mean it didn't happen, what happened that night must not be forgotten by Zhao Kuo, the woman pretending to be a killer failed to assassinate, but in the end it became a spring? Dream.

Lü Buwei made a stand, Zhao Kuo returned, and the Zhao army camp below changed accordingly, each camp advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the peripheral defense was equally tight, Lü Buwei stood at a high place and could see clearly, if he forced an attack at this time, he would not get any benefit, and the troops were weaker than the opponent, so he could only rely on the high wall to defend as an attack.

The shouts of killing came out in bursts, not the Zhao army launched an offensive, the huge training ground was crowded, this is where the new army of Qin is located, the first person, holding a big gun is Wang Qian, Lu Buwei does have something outstanding, in three days, with amazing financial resources, it is already the limit to pull out a team of 70,000 people from Xianyang City, including caravan guards, dead soldiers, elites, and also weekday transportation of goods, responsible for recording accounts and other people, in a word, as long as it is a man, there is no lack of arms and legs, almost all of them.

"Speed up and keep your distance from each other."

Wang Jian shouted loudly, the new army is the most difficult to manage, many of them are here to mess around, try to ask which one really wants to fight, if it is not for Lu Buwei's more generous conditions, the number of people in front of him will be reduced by at least forty percent.

But seeing the new army camp, one by one, the order was issued, and the speed was obviously slow, if the two armies were fighting, it would only become the soul of Zhao Jun's sword and would not play a role at all, Wang Jian frowned, and he had no choice but to kill.

"Stop."

With an angry shout, the camp stopped, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, Wang Jian led a team of guards to the front, the long swords in his hands were drawn one after another, and the distance ahead was close to the new army, and he quickly lowered his head in his eyes, not knowing what was happening.

"Ten orders rushed to the designated position, and those who lagged behind were beheaded according to military law."

Wang Jian pointed at the big gun in his hand, everyone in front of him suddenly became nervous, the previous laughter disappeared completely, Wang Jian was behind the guard with the long sword in his hand, the blade flashed with cold light, this moment moved the real character, if you don't make it, you really want to lose your life.

"One."

As soon as the voice fell, the front camp quickly moved forward, the speed was significantly accelerated, and the effect was instantaneous, there were too many people, and it was a new army, and they were used to being casual on weekdays, and they didn't take those rules seriously at all.

"Ten!"

The voice stopped, there were only seven or eight people left, only one step away from the designated position, no matter what, they never met Wang Qian's requirements, they turned around one after another, and their eyes fell on Wang Qian.

"Kill."

The guards on both sides quickly rushed out, and at that moment everyone opened their mouths wide, really killed, not a joke, the war horse approached, the cavalry long sword fell, and several people fell in the back in a pool of blood.

Blood splashed, Wang Jian held a big gun, and everyone in the rear bowed their heads, finally realizing the power of military law, and life became so fragile at that moment.

"Divide the left and right formations, and charge and kill in the middle formation."

With an angry shout, the banner in Wang Qian's hand fell, the new army camp rushed out quickly, the left and right camps were killed, the camp was neat, and at that moment all the casualness disappeared completely, holding a spear, and his eyes were staring ahead.

"Or the general has a way."

The formation of the new army is only a few days, the training can be called hard, a few hours of training every day, the new army is a little unbearable, the Qin army has strict military laws, deserters or quit in the middle, they are ridiculed all their lives, and they also face various punishments, once they are selected, they would rather fight.

"Do you hear the drums outside?"

The deputy general nodded, "It's not the war drums of the Qin State." ”

"The army of Zhao is coming to the city, there is not much time left for us, the king is right, if you want to build an iron army, faith alone is far from enough, and in the end you can only rely on killing."

Wang Jian killed a few people behind, it worked in an instant, the news spread quickly, the entire new army camp was really afraid, originally thought it was for show, didn't want to come really, no one wanted to lose their heads, every order was to go all out, and the entire new army formation quickly mastered the key to marching and arranging.

"Change formation!"

The flag order then changed, Wang Jian trained the new army is not arbitrary, it is also carried out for a purpose, Xianyang City has thick walls, there is no doubt about this, once the Zhao army breaks through the city gate, the next thing to face will be Qin and Zhao Both sides around the streets, buildings have a fierce battle, anything may affect the final outcome, the new army's defensive ability is acceptable, and the attack method and each other's cooperation is extremely unfamiliar
