Chapter 187: The Last Days of Handan (5)

The city wall on the east side of Handan City seems much older than the other side.

In the Battle of Handan more than 20 years ago, the Qin army finally failed, but it also caused great damage to Handan. The southern city wall that the Qin army attacked was severely damaged. After the renovation, the memory of that cruel day was erased.

The city walls to the east did not put much pressure on Handan even when Qi was in full swing. When Qi was King Wei, Qi mainly competed for hegemony with Wei. When King Min of Qi succeeded to the throne, he made enemies everywhere, and was attacked by five countries.

After King Xiang of Qi restored the country, Qi declined in an all-out manner. Tian Dan, the only general in charge of the army, was excluded and left Zhao. Over the past few decades, Qi pursued pacifist diplomatic strategies and failed to regain its military strength.

"After you transport the grain truck to the Dabao Warehouse, don't rush to have fun, and you can only leave after the surveillance master comes to review it."

The Qin army was at the city and transporting grain to Handan, and the journey was very dangerous. The Zhao court issued an order that anyone who successfully transported grain to Handan could go to the state-owned Nulu of Zhao to have a spring night.

The soldiers joked in a slight way, with a wretched smile on their faces. The state-owned girl in Handan City learned from Guan Zhong from Qi, went there for one night, and the money and food for one month of serving in the army were gone.

Now these rural buzz have this free opportunity to have a love affair.

Thinking of the rougher hands of the more soldiers, rubbing the snow-white breasts of the prostitutes, the soldiers guarding the city of Zhao army were both envious and unfair.

After so many years of being a soldier, Zhao Guogong has never given such a reward.

But these soldiers did not think about it. After the Battle of Handan, the Qin army retreated completely and Handan enjoyed peace for more than 20 years. These people had memories of the past wars in their minds, but they had no personal experience after all, and they could be said to have been born in a relatively peaceful era.

The emperor was in front of the young master's feet, with good treatment and high status, and there was no danger. Now, when Handan was in a hurry, the Zhao people who were transporting grain to Handan were really carrying their heads on their belts.

"What should I do now?"

Manqiang lowered his head and pushed the food truck hard. His dark face was full of innocent smiles. He played the role of a silly man from the countryside. While Zhao was not interested, Manqiang approached Meng Tian, ​​hoping that Meng Tian would have an idea.

"Now, we can only take one step at a time."

Meng Tian changed his mind quickly, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jun's jail would be so careful.

Judging from the current situation, Guo Kai is still reliable, but he has encountered this difficult prison sentence.

Meng Tian has always been worried that if Guo Kai learns Shang Yang and King Zhao of Qin's way of doing things, he will have to fight to the death at this moment.

The Dabao Cang in Handan is about five miles away from the city gate.

After late at night, the streets of Handan were quiet and empty, and the people in the alley had already fallen asleep.

There were about 80 soldiers in charge of the Zhao army. Even if they pretended to be Zhao people and abandoned the ring-headed sword, there should be no problem dealing with these Zhao soldiers with the martial arts of Meng Tian.

But in this way, it will inevitably shock the enemy. Not everyone in Zhao is like Zhao Tong and Yan Ju. With people like Jian Zhi, they will be embarrassed every step of their future actions.

Meng Tian shook his head quietly, indicating that he should not act rashly. Several Ruishis who were ready to take action only after seeing Meng Tian's gesture, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

After going deep into the tiger's den and rigorous training, the Qin army soldiers who have experienced rigorous training will inevitably feel a little nervous.

"Mr. Jun, can you light up the torch a little? It's so dark. What if a ghost comes out?"

Meng Tian turned around and saw that there was no trace of starlight on his head. Five steps away, there was a black area. In such an environment, people could easily feel nervous.

"You big country man, you are so good. What do you think of ghosts?"

The leader Zhao Jun soldier scolded, and the strange feeling in his heart suddenly dissipated. It turned out that these updaters were nervous because they were a little afraid of ghosts.

"Ada, A San, light a few more torches. It's dark and no matter how much you save firewood, you don't care about this little road!"

The leading Zhao army soldier tightened his body. The night wind blew, and the yin energy was deep, as if there was a ghost really appearing at night.

China has always been awe of ghosts and gods. No matter where people in various Warring States countries migrated, they are equivalent to the perpetual calendars of later generations, but they are universal reading materials that are necessary for home. Confucian scholars said, "I don't say anything about strange powers and gods," and tried their best to deny ghosts and gods, but ironically, people from all countries generally believe in ghosts and gods.

Meng Tian pretended to be a Zhao man to transport grain and sneaked into Handan. Jing Su hid in a secret alley, seeing clearly.

"It's so late, logically speaking, the jail will not continue to be on duty."

Jing Su thought, he had inquired about the news about the surveillance. This life was in Handan, and there was no habit of being a hero from Zhao people. When doing things, it was not vague at all.

Normally, when the hour of Xu is approaching, the jail will return home and accompany his wife who is about to give birth.

"Mole, hurry up, go and send a message to the city..."

Jing Su frowned and thought of a solution. He called a short and fat man beside him and secretly gave him the opportunity. This man, as his name is, is really like a mole.

"promise."

After receiving the order, a man named Mole disappeared into the night with a wooden stick that he had beaten.

"Sir, it's so late, why don't you go back?"

On the top of the city, the Zhao soldiers guarding the city shrank, approached the prison and asked in a low voice.

Jian Zhi's eyes kept staring at the Qin cavalry outside the city. Seeing that the Qin people had no intention of stealing the city, he felt relieved.

"The young man is about to give birth, and the midwife kicked me out. If the man stayed at home, the woman's life would not go well."

When the jail checked back, he felt that the wind on the top of the city was a little fierce, and the soldiers' faces looked a little red under the torches.

"Okay, everyone, take a rest first, choose a team, and follow me to see these updates."

The prisoner was on the top of the city and saw that there were a few strong men in these group of renovators who happened to be brought to defend the city. Even if they could not defend the city, they were good to use it to transport bricks, stones and rolling wood.

"Sir, look, the Qin people are here!"

Jian Zhi was about to walk down the city wall, but the soldiers who were relieved just now suddenly became a little panicked, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"The Qin people are ready to attack the city!"

Jian Zhi turned his head and his eyes suddenly shrank. Five miles away, dense torches appeared in Zhao Jun's sight.

The Qin army's torches were connected from beginning to end, very much like a long dragon, and a square Liubo chessboard, which was very likely to flatten the city walls of Handan.

Could it be that the direction of the Qin army's main attack was the direction of the East City Gate?
