Outside the city of Handan, the scouts ran back and forth, almost half of the Zhao State was completely caught in the flames of war, from Changping under the control of Han Wei to the entire Zhao border, the Qin army raised 350,000 troops, plus the 150,000 Qi State, and the border defenders of the Zhao State were less than 100,000, and the difference in strength was too great.

Even so, a month has passed, the fortress is still in the hands of the Zhao army, Bai Qi led the troops to attack the flank of the fortress, standing on a high place to see clearly, the fortress in the Zhao army several large formations set up a formation, the flank terrain is not conducive to the advance of the army, with his own 20,000 soldiers and horses can not break through the opponent's camp at all, but have no choice but to retreat to the camp.

Qian Feng's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth, and now it was finally clear that this time he was completely on the hands of the Qin army, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State were camped and camped just to wait and see, and it was completely the Qi army and the Zhao army fighting for a month, and the Qi army suffered heavy casualties, and now the soldiers and horses of the Qi State are located between the two major groups of Zhao and Qin, if they choose to withdraw now, it is inevitable that the Qin State will use this as an excuse to directly swallow the Qi State, and then the gains will outweigh the losses, and there will be too many casualties in this way, Qian Feng suddenly fell into a dilemma, and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Qin envoy that day.

One person walked in quickly, "My lord, there are 7,000 dead and wounded today." ”

"Seven thousand!"

Qian Feng sighed, his arm trembled slightly, the 150,000 army attacked several fortresses on the border of the Zhao army, and more than 50,000 people were killed and wounded in a month.

The camp of the Qin army, Lü Buwei and Bai Qi studied the tactics, and Bai Qi said: "The three barriers of Zhao State, the important town of Wu'an, if you lose it, it is equivalent to losing the northwest land, the capital Handan, if Handan is lost, Zhao State will inevitably be in chaos, and then it will be the land of Changping." ”

Lu Buwei nodded, "Changping is contained by Han and Wei, even if it can't be captured, it can also consume the energy of Zhao State to the greatest extent, but now the only way to quickly capture the fortress and contain the Zhao army of Wu'an with the strength of Qi State, our army is besieging Handan, so Zhao State will die." ”

Bai Qi smiled, "I originally thought that Da Liangzao just knew how to do business, and I didn't want to be equally proficient in the art of war!" Bai Qi admired. ”

Lu Buwei said with a smile: "On how the marching array can be compared with the king, Buwei only understands the skin, the skin. ”

There were bursts of laughter from the big tent, Qian Feng's figure was close to hearing clearly, and his heart was even more angry, Qin Jun stepped forward, "What person?" ”

"Qi Xiang Qian Feng has something to see your boss." Qian Feng was angry in his heart, and his voice couldn't help but be much higher.

The soldier didn't think so, what was the big deal, he didn't want to see Qin Ren's face, "Wait here, wait for me to go in." ”

"Nonsense, how can you let Lord Xiangguo wait outside the door, wouldn't it be a loss of etiquette and a bad relationship for each other." Lu Buwei heard the voice and walked out quickly, and when he saw that it was Qian Feng, the coach of Qi State, his face was gloomy, and he suddenly understood his intentions, and walked forward quickly with a smile on his face.

Qian Feng said: "Since you have formed an alliance to attack Zhao, why are you reluctant to send troops?" This is unreasonable. ”

Bai Qi said coldly: "Lord Xiangguo, can't the army of more than 100,000 people even be able to capture a border pass?" ”

Qian Feng raised his head, his white eyes revealed coldness, and his figure couldn't help but take two steps back, "It's not that I can't, it's just that I don't want to use the method of strong attack." ”

Lu Buwei said: "Lord Xiangguo, but you think of a way to break the city? ”

Qian Feng was helpless, "Lord Lu is afraid that he is not joking, if he finds it, why come here." ”

Lu Buwei laughed, "Don't be angry, Lord Xiangguo, why don't you go into the tent together and drink and chat, maybe you can find a way to break the city?" ”

Qian Feng had no choice but to enter, the wine and food were put on the table, and he suddenly felt tasteless, Lu Buwei and Bai Qi were talking and laughing, Qian Feng knew in his heart that it would be useless to wait any longer, so he sighed and stood up, "I hope the two of you will send troops earlier." ”

Lu Buwei said: "Don't worry, Lord Xiangguo, tomorrow we will definitely destroy the enemy together!" ”

"That's the best."

Qian Feng left, and Bai Qi snorted coldly, "It's just a bunch of waste." ”

Lu Buwei smiled, "This time we have to rely on the Qi State, as long as the Zhao State is destroyed, the next one will be the turn of the Qi State, so that the Qin State can own most of the world, Han and Wei are vulnerable, and only Chu and Yan Shang can fight." ”

Bai Qi laughed, "It's enough to destroy Chu Bai Qi with 100,000 elite soldiers!" ”

As soon as the sky was bright, there were bursts of shouts of killing, Qian Feng's figure jumped up, and when he came to the door, the soldiers came to report, "General, the Qin army has begun to attack the city." ”

Qian Feng's face was happy, "It's quite a rule." "Picked up the long sword and ran straight to the front of the formation, but seeing the Qin army camp assembled, the front of the pass was set up in formation, the middle fortress Bai Qi personally commanded, both sides were good at attacking, the drums were bursting, the camp was launched at the same time, the ladder used by the Qin army was lighter and also strong, the Taoist figure attacked, holding the spear and not rushing up, Bai Qi personally supervised the battle, wielded the long sword, and the soldiers attacked more and more urgently.

Qian Feng nodded again and again when he saw it, if Qi Bing was the same, why should he be looked down upon.

The Qin army attacked the city, the defenders were suddenly struggling, and they could only rely on boulders and arrows to block, after all, the power was limited, the border defense was too narrow and long, and the troops were scattered, Bai Ying boarded the fortress to see clearly, and held on for ten days at most, and immediately sent people back to Handan to deliver a letter, and the horse returned, Zhao Kuo got the news that the Qi and Qin coalition forces had no less than four or five hundred thousand troops attacking the border, and they might not be able to hold it for a long time.

"Order the people along the outskirts of Handan to enter Handan immediately, take away all the food and materials, and burn them all if they can't take them."

Several teams of people were divided into Handan City, and all the villages along the way were conveyed, and the people walked out one after another, "Go to Handan?" ”

"It's all burned?"

The fire rose in the distance, bursts of smoke came out, and everyone knew what the smoke represented, and they couldn't bear to see that their residence was about to be destroyed for many years, and one person stepped forward, "What are you waiting for, you have to believe in the king." ”

"Yes, burn!"

Without hesitation, the torch was thrown out, the firewood and grass were lit, and soon climbed up to the house, the fire was soaring, reflecting the smiling faces, no sadness, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo's hope for the people.

Zhang Liang said: "King, why do you want to burn down the people's houses? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "This method is to clear the wall, the purpose is to arouse the people's hatred of the Qin army, the purpose of the Qin army's battle must be Handan, Zhao Kuo wants to completely defeat the coalition army in Handan." ”

Li Si said: "The king refers to the battle against the city? ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Yes, give up all hopes, completely pin your hopes on Handan, and then all the people will be soldiers, and everyone will definitely fight bravely to kill in order to survive." ”

Zhang Liangdao: "This method is wonderful, but the scale of Handan City is limited, and the people are entering one after another, and I am afraid that it will be overcrowded, and it will inevitably be affected by the war." ”

Li Si nodded, this point was also considered, but he couldn't come up with a suitable method, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of people on the periphery of Handan City, and one Handan City alone would definitely not be able to bear it.

Zhao Kuo said: "Immediately build an outer city, not only can it be used to settle the people, but it can also block the Qin army." ”

"Build an outer city?"

Zhao Kuo nodded, "On that day, General Lian built a hundred miles of stone city in Changping according to the mountain terrain, forcing the Qin army to abandon the east, and now he can completely follow his method, use local materials, build an outer city, dig a deep pit outside the city, and irrigate it with water to form a moat." ”

Li Si's face was happy, "Li Si will do it immediately." ”

The people of Handan City have been dispatched, regardless of the old and young, in one day, the city wall of more than two meters high was built outside the city of Handan, watered with water mixed with sand and stones, and a deep pit of more than two meters was dug outside the city, an old man put down the tools in his hand, looked at the sunset that was about to fall, his face showed joy, followed by a child, holding a stone in his hand, "Grandpa, the dog baby can also fight the Qin army." ”

"Okay, follow the king to fight the Qin army! Defend our homeland. ”

"The king is here!"

One person shouted at the top of his voice, and a group of people surrounded him, Zhao Kuo was dressed in ordinary clothes, with Zhang Liang, Li Si and others around him, looking at the outer city rising from the ground and nodding again and again, "It's hard." ”

"Zhao people are not afraid of hardship, and they don't feel bitter when they follow the king."

"Yes, I don't feel bitter."

Looking at it, Zhao Kuo climbed to the heights, "Qin is bullying the weak, attacking Zhao repeatedly, and now he is gathering the strength of the four countries to destroy the Zhao State, Zhao Kuo is not talented, and he has to be elected as the king, and now the people of Zhao State are fighting against the strong soldiers, and he has been the first soldier to die!" ”

"Unless you kill all the Zhao people, you will definitely not bow your head."

"Never bow your head."

Outside the city of Handan, the people continued to pour in, the fire in the night, the rising flames, the city walls built in one day, and those unyielding eyes, Zhao Kuo smiled, this battle Zhao Guo will win.
