Chapter 199 Ready to go

That is something that can be shot into the air and explode when it falls; that is something that can destroy thousands of enemies just standing there; that is something that can be blown to pieces just by walking on the ground. What can be done in the world?

Things compare to this.

No.

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing Shang Xin's words, the Taiwei retorted fiercely.

"No!" Shang Xin sneered and approached the Taiwei, "Did you know that all the 50,000 troops passing through Chang'an Township were destroyed?"

"You must know everything!" Seeing that the Taiwei's expression did not change much, Shang Xin concluded that he knew it and continued, "Do you know how they were destroyed? It was General Li who led hundreds of people from Chang'an Township

Destroyed."

The bandit army is approaching the city, and there are some things that he can no longer hide, not to mention that this is also to stabilize the morale of the army.

Feng Quji smiled when he heard it, and secretly thought that his father-in-law was lying. It was obvious that he was killed by two thousand elites, but he did not say it out.

But what Shang Xin said next made his eyelids jump.

"Do you want to know how the Chang'an Township people relied on only a few hundred people to destroy an army of 50,000 without any damage?"

"It relies on three deadly weapons."

"These three weapons are anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and landmines."

Shang Xin faced the Taiwei directly, his eyes full of teasing.

"Let me ask, is the so-called artillery comparable?"

The lieutenant was speechless. Anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and mines? He had never heard of them. What was the difference between them and artillery? He knew that 50,000 troops were destroyed, but he didn’t know how they were destroyed. But as far as he knew about artillery,

It is really difficult to destroy 50,000 troops within a limited time. So are these three weapons really that powerful?

At this moment, he was a little scared.

His confidence was that the rebel army had artillery, but if Da Qin's three weapons were so powerful and could suppress the artillery, wouldn't siege the city send a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Feng Quji didn't see the change in his face. He stared at Shang Xin with wide eyes at this moment and asked: "Father, what you said is true. Does Li Zhao really have such a weapon?"

"Of course!" Shang Xin nodded matter-of-factly.

"Doesn't this mean that Li Zhao led two thousand troops out of the city to target the rebels' artillery? He also took three weapons with him?" Feng Quji guessed.

"It's very possible!" Shang Xin knew that Li Zhao led the army out of the city, but he didn't know exactly what he was going to do, but that didn't stop him from guessing.

Feng Quji became even more excited, raised his brows, quickly got off his horse, and dragged his fat body to Shang Xin.

"Can Li Zhao take down these artillery pieces?"

"Of course!" Shang Xin affirmed, "General Li brought these weapons into the city just to destroy the rebel army."

He overheard Li Zhao say this in Chang'an Township.

"That's good, that's good! You don't have to worry about the 100,000-strong army of thieves." Feng Quji felt relieved.

With such a weapon, Li Zhao will definitely be able to wipe out the 100,000 bandits in the east, and the east city will no longer pose a threat, and the Qin Dynasty will resolve this crisis.

However, someone poured cold water on it.

"Don't worry about a hundred thousand troops? Haha!" The Taiwei sneered and no longer concealed some facts to increase his bargaining chip. "You are too confident, don't you know? The so-called one hundred thousand troops in the east are just to confuse you.

In fact, there are only 30,000 troops, and the other 70,000 troops have surrounded the west gate and the south gate. As long as the artillery from the east is fired, these two sides will attack the city. This is called a three-sided attack, and Xianyang City will still be destroyed."

"What?" Feng Quji was shocked, and his face instantly turned pale.

In this way, even if Li Zhaoquan destroyed the artillery and 30,000 troops in the east, and still had 70,000 troops besieging him, wouldn't he be in trouble if there were still artillery here?

Judging from Li Zhao's memorial to His Majesty, he has divided the 50,000 troops, which means that Xicheng and Nancheng each have only more than 10,000 troops. With more than 20,000 troops to deal with 10,000 troops, there is no doubt that an egg can hit a stone, even if there are tall

city ​​wall.

He wasn't worried about the rebel army attacking the city before, relying on two thousand elites, but the two thousand elites have been taken away, so why should they defend the city?

This is a crisis situation again.

Feng Quji was completely panicked, "General Zhang, if you can help me, you must resist the 70,000 bandit army. I will report to His Majesty right now and ask him to mobilize all the guards and useful people to save Xianyang even if he dies."

"Haha!" Hearing what Feng Quji said, the captain laughed even more wildly, "It's useless. Xiang Gong's army has artillery. No matter how many people you have, it won't help. They will only become cannon fodder. Just wait.

Destroy the city!"

"Breaking the city? I don't think so."

This was said by Zhang Han. He walked over slowly, with a sneer on his lips, but full of expectation.

In fact, he has never used the weapons brought by the general, and he does not know its power. No, he has used machine guns, but the machine guns have been taken away by the general. The remaining 5,000 grenades and 3,000 anti-aircraft guns have not been tried.

Its power.

He knew about artillery. Judging from the general's description, artillery was very terrifying. As for the extent of the terror, the general did not say, so he did not have much confidence in defending the city at that time. But after hearing Shang Xin's words, he became more confident.

With the help of anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and landmines, 50,000 rebel troops could be wiped out without any damage. That does not mean that these things are more terrifying than artillery.

This was why he was looking forward to it. Although there were no machine guns and mines, anti-aircraft guns and grenades should not be bad either.

Seeing what Zhang Han said, Feng Quji calmed down and asked urgently: "Does General Zhang Han have a way to deal with the traitor army?"

"Of course!" Zhang Han nodded and handed over his hand, "Mr. Feng, since the bandit army has surrounded the west gate and south gate, Zhang Han needs to fight immediately. I will trouble you to deal with these bad guys."

He glanced at the captain and the man in black.

Feng Quji nodded.

Zhang Han immediately led the people and ran towards the city, but after two breaths, he turned back and said to the tied Taiwei: "Lieutenant, didn't you say that the rebel army will break through Xianyang?"

"I would like to show you with your own eyes whether it was I who destroyed the rebel army or the enemy who destroyed the city?"

Zhang Han raised his hand to Feng Quji again and said, "Prime Minister Feng, please allow me to take the Taiwei away so that he can see the power of our city defense army."

Feng Quji thought for a while and then agreed.

"Thank you." Zhang Han ordered the captain to be taken away.

Feng Quji was curious about Zhang Han's confidence and followed him, and so did Shang Xin.

So, a group of people arrived at the west gate city wall.

Zhang Han looked at the soldiers under the dim light. They were all standing on the city wall, waiting in full formation. There were also soldiers looking down the city, but the night was too dark and everything could not be seen clearly.

"Is there any movement?" Zhang Han asked the soldiers.

The Taiwei said that the rebels had already arrived at the city. If this was true, they would surely be discovered by the soldiers.

But the soldier shook his head and said, "There is no movement within ten feet of the city." At this moment, he could only see what was happening within ten feet.

"Yes!" Zhang Han nodded. This is normal. Even if the bandit army has laid siege to the city, they will not appear within ten feet before the city gate is opened. Otherwise, it would be to scare the snake. Please note that this is a sneak attack and they want to use the minimum cost.

Come and capture Xianyang.

But now that Zhang Han knows about it, he won't let them succeed.

"Immediately transfer all the soldiers from the north gate and focus on defending the west city and south city. Just leave a thousand people at the north gate." Zhang Han ordered the guards around him and took out the token at the same time.

If the bandit army only surrounds the east, south, west and north cities, there is no need to station too many troops in the north city. And with the generals in the east to contain them, they will not be attacked too much. The current problem is concentrated in the west and south cities. The only way to guard these two city gates is to defend them.

, it is very difficult for the bandit army to break through the city.

There was silence all night, and the bandit army did not make any move. Zhang Han was not surprised. The city gate was not opened, so they did not dare to attack the city rashly.

At dawn, a ray of sunshine breaks through the eastern horizon, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.

At this moment, Feng Quji and the others were quite tired, but they did not dare to rest. The bandit army was watching eagerly below. If they were not careful, they might attack the city. They could not sleep.

Under the city wall, dozens of feet away from the south gate, a commander quietly approached Jia Xiong.

"General, when will the siege begin?"

Jia Xiong stared at the south gate in the distance. Seeing that there was no movement, he felt more anxious than anyone else.

He contacted Lang Zhongling and opened the city gate at night, and then the army swarmed in. However, he waited helplessly all night, but the gate did not open.

"hold on!"

The general was a little impatient and guessed: "General, is it possible that our craftsman has been caught? Otherwise, why haven't we opened the city gate yet?"

Jia Xiong was silent, but he actually had this idea in his heart.

"This doctor, Zhongling, is really useless. He can't even handle this."

After lurking here all night and being bitten by mosquitoes and insects, he became impatient.

"How about we attack without authorization? There are only so many people at the south gate. We have 30,000 troops, plus artillery, so we are afraid they won't succeed."

Advice from the general.

Jia Xiong thought for a while, and actually he had this idea too, so he suppressed the urge. Although there were artillery and overwhelming numbers, the city wall was too high, and a strong attack would only result in great losses.

He only has 50,000 troops. If he loses, even if he takes Xianyang, it will not be a good thing for him.
