The Qin army used a shield array to block the city from shooting arrows, but seeing the smoke and dust, the deep ditches on both sides of the city gate rose rapidly upward, gradually filled, and the two eyes looked at each other.

Bai Qiren saw it clearly immediately, "Zhao Kuo must not have imagined that the deep ditch he had worked so hard to dig would be filled in one day. ”

Lü Buwei said: "Tonight, you will definitely hear the sound of cheering for the city wall!" ”

"Drain the water."

Zhao Kuo gave an order, the water in Handan City was sealed with soil, and it was usually used for drinking by the people in Handan City, and it came in handy today, several soldiers pulled hard, and the turbulent water poured in instantly, and the water mixed with sediment kept washing downward, and the city wall completely became mud.

Lu Buwei's expression changed, he didn't want Zhao Kuo to secretly leave a hand, there is water injected, it will inevitably form thin mud, plus it is poured into mostly soil, once the soldiers fall into it, it is conceivable!

"Keep filling in!" Lü Buwei knows that since ancient times, there has been a saying that water comes to cover the earth, and Zhao Kuo seems to ignore one point, that is, the method of the five elements to restrain each other, and the soil can just overcome water.

Zhao Kuo had already prepared, the water of Handan was introduced from above, and the turbulent river formed a dike, and the dikes opened and gushed out, and the soil kept being thrown in, mixed with mud and slowly sinking.

The sky is getting dark, the torches are rising, the city of Handan is as bright as day, Lü Buwei explained that he returned to the big tent to rest, the siege of Handan will inevitably not be able to conquer in a short time, and it is also very important to recuperate, the three armies rest, leaving only a team of soldiers and horses responsible for filling the soil, and there are people patrolling the periphery to prevent the Zhao army from sneaking up overnight.

When night fell, Handan City returned to calm, and most of the people who entered Handan were resettled, and there were still families in Handan City who left their houses, which were simply used as temporary use for the people.

In the outer city of Handan, the torches were extinguished, the guards were arranged above, and the rest of the people rested, the sky was bright, the cooking smoke was bursting, the city of Handan was lively, the people took out the food they brought, the cauldron was erected, and the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops outside the city were not affected at all.

In the camp of the new army, one person kept under his feet, Lei Meng and Zhang He led 50,000 cavalry to ambush in the valley, and the figure of the man was close, "General, the Qin army is surrounding Handan!" ”

Lei Meng said: "How many centaurs?" ”

The spy shook his head, "I can't count it at all, it should be no less than 400,000 people." ”

Zhang He said: "I don't want so much. ”

Lei Meng said: "So what, in the Battle of Changping that day, the Qin army was known as one million, and in the end it was not dizzy. ”

Zhang He said: "The king ordered you and me to stay in the camp of the New Army Valley, and he must be worried that the location of the armory workshop will be discovered by the Qin army and there will be losses. ”

One person stepped forward to be the black beard of the Soldiers' Alliance, holding a long sword, "The two generals rest assured, everyone in the Soldiers' Alliance is a good man who is not afraid of death, if the Qin soldiers dare to come, they will definitely pay the price of blood." ”

There are more than a dozen weapons workshops, among which the people of the Soldier Alliance have put too much effort into it, and they are absolutely not allowed to be destroyed.

Outside the city of Handan, the Qin army set up a position, the sun fell, and the pit filled with soil yesterday condensed into a hard shell, and it was covered with dust.

"Attack Handan and raise the prestige of Great Qin!"

The front army moved forward, the body was close, the bows and crossbows around Handan were complete, the boulders were brought in one after another, and twenty huge catapults were placed horizontally in the open space of the outer city, which was completely different from ordinary catapults, and the place where the stones were placed was more solid with iron instead of wood.

The front army held a shield and moved forward quickly, the momentum was amazing, and the feet stepped on the hard shell and ran forward, suddenly the feet were soft, the hard shell cracked, and the bottom was full of thin mud, the time was too short, and because of the water injection, the water and soil blended, and the wind and sun only formed a hard shell, which was difficult to bear the weight of the soldiers' bodies.

There was an exclamation, and then a scream, and the soldier sank downward, so fast that no less than thousands of soldiers fell into the mire, and the soldier behind him tried to hold his companion, but he sank deeper and deeper, and soon did not reach the top of his head.

"How so!"

Lü Buwei frowned deeply and looked at the qi qi in front of him, filling a large amount of sediment overnight still could not be completely filled, Lü Buwei ignored the position occupied by the water.

"Temporarily retreat!"

The Qin army retreated, and there were cheers in Handan City, this kind of wonderful method can only be thought of by the king, and the Qin army is not terrible.

Lü Buwei returned to the big tent, all the generals gathered, thinking of what happened today, he couldn't help but be indignant, Lü Buwei said: "What do you think is how to crack the other party's quagmire? ”

One person got up, "The weather is hot, it will definitely be dried in a few days, and it will not be too late to raise troops then!" ”

Lu Buwei nodded, "This is a safe way!" ”

Boom, thunder burst out, dark clouds rose in the sky, the wind sounded, soon the rain fell, everyone's face sank, everyone knew the consequences of this rain, the swamp mixed with the rain, it was more difficult to get close to the Handan city wall, and it was impossible to attack it with that passage alone.

Lü Buwei said: "Who has other methods? ”

One person got up, "When the old general attacked Hanwang Mountain, he used the method of pouring down wood to build bridges, why not follow suit to get through the quagmire!" ”

"Where is the old general?"

The man sighed, "He died at the hands of Zhao Jun that day. ”

"Does the general know how to use this method?"

The man said: "Put the trees across them to form bridges, and then strengthen them with ropes, so that you don't have to worry about falling into the mud below." ”

Bai nodded, "This method works!" ”

Lü Buwei said: "Immediately send someone to investigate the surroundings, where there are trees that can be cut down." ”

A group of men and horses flashed out from the rear of the Qin army's camp and went straight to the west of Handan, one of them pointed with his hand, "There is a mountain there, and there must be trees on the mountain that can be cut down!" ”

"Report to the boss immediately!"

Bai Qi got the news that although Lü Buwei had the king's disobedience, Bai Qi still occupied the position of the commander, "Your Majesty, there are mountains on the west side, and there are not a few trees. ”

"Send 5,000 men and horses to cut down first."

During the Warring States period, some weapons were developed, most of them were made of bronze, and it also took a certain amount of time to cut down trees, and 5,000 people were enough.

But seeing the green trees on the valley, a person ran in front of him, "General, traces of the Zhao army have been found in front!" ”

The general of the Qin army dismounted when he heard this, and followed the spies to step forward quickly, hiding his figure with the help of the grass, and when he came to a high place, he could see clearly, and the valley was set up with a high tree, and there was a faint sound of beating, and his face showed joy, "This time we are going to make great contributions, this is the place where Zhao State makes weapons." ”

"General, do you want to go back and report to the boss?"

The man shook his head, "How can you let go of such a good opportunity, look at those people, they don't have weapons on them, most of them are craftsmen, plus there are less than a hundred people, pass down the order, slow down, and attack immediately after approaching, and kill the Zhao people." ”

Hei Hu bent over to check the bow and crossbow nodded again and again, patted the craftsman on the shoulder, he had been in Zhao State for many years, he had been taken care of by Zhao Kuo, and the old and weak in the military alliance had been properly settled, and he had long regarded Zhao Country as his home.

The five thousand infantry of the Qin army approached, and the general's face showed a fierce light, if he could occupy the Zhao army's weapon workshop, he would definitely get more benefits by virtue of his merits, and with a wave of his arm, the Qin army waved his weapons and rushed out.

"It's Qin Jun!"

The armory workshop was suddenly in chaos, and the black beard stepped forward to pick up the bow and crossbow, "Protect the armory!" ”

Everyone in the Soldier Alliance pulled out their weapons from the shelves, and they were not afraid of the rushing Qin army, "Use a repeater!" ”

The order was issued, and more than 20 people picked up the newly made crossbow on the side, pressed it down, and the arrow was wound, "Shoot!" ”

The crossbow is issued continuously, the power of the crossbow is amazing, a crossbow can quickly send out ten arrows, the arrows are finished, grab a handful, pull it directly with your hand, and the lethality is not reduced at all.

The screams came out one after another, and the ambush cavalry in the valley got the news, and Lei Meng's figure jumped up, "Grandma's, I just held my stomach and rushed to Lao Tzu." ”

A team of cavalry rushed out, the speed was amazing, the infantry of the Qin army was blocked by the soldiers of the alliance, relying on the crossbow to keep shooting, the generals saw it, they didn't want to have such a sophisticated weapon, occupy here, get bound more, and urged the soldiers to rush forward to kill, the Qin army was close, Hei Hu drew his long sword, "Kill the Qin army!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, the thunder urged the war horses tightly, the four hooves were raised, and the cavalry held long swords and killed directly to the Qin army's camp.

"Zhao State cavalry."

"Withdraw!"

Lei violently shook his long sword and killed several people one after another, "I can't run away for any of them." ”
