"Whew!"

With the sound of the trumpet, the army attacking Handan retreated like a tidal wave, leaving only corpses on the ground, as well as countless fragments of armor, weapons, broken pieces of wood, and sporadic fires, and blood-soaked soil. All of them show that a fierce offensive and defensive battle has just been fought here.

Li Yinghong was dressed in a military uniform, but did not wear a helmet, her long hair pulled a man's cow heart hair curl, and she was held with a copper hairpin, but her body was covered with blood, and even her face was full of blood, and her eyes were full of blood, but blood was still falling on her drooping hands and the pair of sword blades she was holding. At this time, Li Yinghong stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin, Qi, and Chu Triple Alliance Army that was gradually retreating, and also let out a long breath, and finally repelled the attack of the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army.

Since the Han and Qin armies retreated into Handan City, the Qin, Qi and Chu Three Kingdoms Alliance Army immediately launched a fierce attack on Handan City, with a total of more than ten Linchong Lu buses, more than 100 tower cars, more than 1,000 ladders, dozens of crash vehicles, and other chariots and siege equipment, etc., and the Jiuli tribe also dispatched the Kuafu army to participate in the siege battle.

However, Handan City is one of the few fortified cities in the world, the city walls are thick, the fortifications are complete, and a large number of defensive equipment and materials have been prepared in the city, and although the number of Han and Qin coalition forces is not as good as the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it is more than enough to garrison Handan City, and Sima Shang, the main general who presided over the command of the whole city guard, is also one of the most outstanding generals in this era, so the Han and Qin coalition forces under the command of Sima Shang, relying on the strong defensive fortifications of Handan City, stick to the city wall, and resist the attack of the Qin, Qi and Chu Three Kingdoms Alliance.

The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the city wall of Handan City, but of course Wang Ben knew that the city fortifications of Handan City were extremely strong, and the Han and Qin coalition forces defending the city were elite troops who had experienced a hundred battles, so although the total strength of the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was now nearly one million, if they wanted to conquer Handan City, they were still unable to do it. And if you want to conquer Handan City, you must make good use of such an army.

The best weapon for siege is the tower car, because not only the body of the car is tall, but also has considerable defensive power, which can cover the soldiers besieging the city, once close to the city wall, the soldiers can pass the guò tower car and directly attack the city wall, and the Linchong Lu bus is actually not bad, just like a small moving city, not only equipped with more soldiers, stronger defense, and the center of gravity is more stable, not easy to be knocked down. However, the production of Linchong Lu buses is very complicated, and the cost is extremely expensive, with the national strength of Qin, now only fifteen Linchong Lu buses are manufactured, this time twelve were dispatched, which were originally used to deal with the combined army of the three kingdoms of Han, Qi and Chu, but now they are all used to attack Handan City.

So Wang Ben ordered that the armies of Qi and Chu use cloud ladders to attack the city to contain the energy of the defenders, and let the soldiers of the Jiuli tribe and the Kuafu tribe use the tower cart and the Linchong Lu bus to attack Handan City, and strive to let the soldiers of the Jiuli tribe and the Kuafu tribe directly attack the city wall after approaching the city wall of Handan City, and use the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Jiuli tribe and the Kuafu tribe to open up the situation, and take other armies to attack the city wall and break through Handan City.

Wang Ben's plan was indeed good, on the first day of the attack, he put into 30 tower cars and three Linchong Lu buses, loaded with more than 1,500 Jiuli and Kuafu warriors, just three Linchong Lu buses, each loaded with 150 Kuabu warriors, launched a fierce attack on Handan City.

But the Han and Qin coalition forces have long been prepared for this, first of all, in the process of the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus approaching the city wall, using trebuchets, bed crossbows, fierce oil tanks, rockets and other long-range weapons to attack the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus, although the periphery of the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus is protected by thick wooden boards, and it is also covered with raw cowhide, and coated with wet mud to prevent fire, but after all, it is only a wooden structure, if it is hit head-on by a boulder, or smashed to the top, it can still cause some damage to the tower car and Linchong Lu bus, The bed crossbow can rely on its strong force, but it is enough to penetrate the thick planks and cause damage to the soldiers hiding in the car. Although the surface of the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus is coated with wet mud, it is not absolutely fireproof, and if there are too many rockets, the wet mud and water will still be ignited.

However, whether it is a trebuchet or a bed crossbow, the stones and oil tanks fired are not high, and among the ten rounds, there is often not one shot, because it is the Linchong Lu bus, which is very strong, even if it is a few hits, it is fine, and although the bed crossbow can penetrate the thick planks and kill the enemy, it does not have a big effect on the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus, and it cannot prevent the advance of the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus, and the tower car and the Linchong Lu bus are huge vehicles, even if it is a local fire, it will not have any impact on the whole. Therefore, although a few were destroyed, most of the tower cars and Linchong Lu buses gradually approached the city wall.

Of course, a long-range attack is only the first step in defending the city and resisting, Sima Shang and Li Yinghong both know that it is impossible to completely stop the attack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance by relying on long-range strikes alone, and it will eventually be solved by the battle at the head of the city.

Now there are 2,000 Beiwei troops in Handan City, which is also one of the hole cards of the Han and Qin coalition forces, since the start of the war, Sima Shang has always hidden the Beiwei army, and when guarding the positions outside the city, he did not let them fight, but waited until this time to use, so he immediately sent the Beiwei army to the city wall to resist the attack of the Qin, Qi and Chu Three Kingdoms Alliance. The mandarin duck formation tactics of the Beiwei army are the most suitable place to play in a small area such as the city wall.

And the back of the army is only one of the hole cards of the Han and Qin coalition army, the other hole card is the beast training army, at this time there are a total of 3,000 beast training army in Handan City, more than 7,000 beasts have been trained and subdued, and they are all arranged on the city wall, once the enemy army kills the city wall, people and beasts are on the ground, everyone fights desperately, so although the warriors of the Jiuli clan and the Kuafu clan are outstanding, but for a while, it is difficult to parry, and it is difficult to open a gap for other armies.

However, it was difficult for the Three Kingdoms alliance to make a breakthrough, and the Han and Qin alliances were unable to drive the enemy away for a while, so both sides were in a stalemate on the city walls.

Li Yinghong, Chun Yu Zhongxiu, Zhao Xuan, and the people of Guigumen are also all in battle, and if there is a crisis on the city wall, they will immediately rush to support. As a result, under the full defense of the Han and Qin coalition forces, the Qin, Qi and Chu three kingdom alliance attacked for three days, with nearly 50,000 soldiers, and the soldiers of the Jiuli tribe and the Kuafu tribe also lost more than 2,000 people, and more than 30 tower cars and three Linchong Lu buses were destroyed, but they also failed to conquer Handan City.

Seeing this, Wang Ben also knew that Handan City could not be taken lightly, so he changed his tactics, not blindly attacking, but dividing the whole army into three groups, and launching a harassing attack on Handan City to kill the energy of the defenders, and if the defenders relaxed their vigilance, they immediately put into the main force to attack.

This move is really effective, in the face of the rotation of the attack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, it does make the Han and Qin Coalition Army exhausted, because such a city attack and defense battle, the defending side is always passive, so the Three Kingdoms Alliance can not do all its best in the attack, but the defense of the Han and Qin Coalition Army can not be relaxed in the slightest, once relaxed, it is likely to be attacked by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and in this way, the consumption of the Han and Qin Coalition Army is naturally much greater than that of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

Moreover, the general soldiers still have shifts to rest, but Li Yinghong, Chun Yu Zhongxiu, Sima Shang, Zhao Xuan and other major generals can not relax a little, because they are not only the main generals of the whole army, responsible for commanding the overall or local battlefield battles, but also the pillars of the whole army. Therefore, I can only grit my teeth and persevere.

Li Yinghong felt that she was even more responsible, although she was not the main general guarding Handan, but after all, she was now the queen of the Han Kingdom, so when Gao Yuan was not there, Li Yinghong felt that she had to take on more responsibilities and personally supervised the battle on the city wall every day. At this time, Li Yinghong had not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and in the battle to defend the city just now, Li Yinghong personally swung his sword into battle, and successively killed four or five tall Kuafu warriors, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders, and finally repelled the attack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

After the retreat of the Triple Alliance, Li Yinghong commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, repair the damaged fortifications, and prepare for the next attack, because according to the experience of the past few days, at most one meal, the next round of attacks of the Triple Alliance Army will begin.

At this moment, I only heard Chun Yu Zhongxiu say: "Yinghong, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and three nights, go sleep for a while, and leave the matter here to me." ”

In fact, during this period of time, Chun Yu Zhongxiu's hard work was almost not under Li Yinghong, because she basically accompanied Li Yinghong throughout the whole process to arrange city defense, command battles, and fight side by side. It's just that in public, Chun Yu Zhongxiu always lags behind Li Yinghong and does not steal Li Yinghong's limelight, so it is not prominent.

As a result, the two fought together for three days, and they were already exhausted, so they had to discuss and decide, take turns to rest, the battle just now, Chun Yu Zhongxiu did not participate, but rested in the camp under the city wall, but only slept for less than two hours, and after waking up, he immediately rushed to the city wall to replace Li Yinghong.

At this time, Zhao Xuan also said: "Yes, Yinghong, you also go to rest, they didn't do their best in the few rounds of attacks just now, it seems that today's battle is like this, so the next round of attacks will not be good there, you can rest assured." ”

Li Yinghong thought about it for a while, and felt that what they said made sense, and he was really tired, and he really wanted to take a rest, so he nodded and was about to speak, when he saw a soldier running up from the city and said, "The queen, the general, the king's bird has arrived." ”
