35. People are in the store

At this time, Bai Qi was staring at the battlefield ahead, expressionless.

He had already expected the Zhao army's massive attack today. After all, the Zhao army's light cavalry had frantically cut off the Qin army's food routes in the past few days, while the Zhao army's infantry made tentative attacks in all directions, which had exposed his intention to burn down the Qin army's supplies.

Therefore, Bai Qi had already made arrangements. First, he built two fake baggage storage areas, and then scattered the baggage more than the entire army. Moreover, the King of Qin also helped him make a winning move. According to the arrangement, victory was already within his grasp.

However, Zhao Jun's attack on the Qin Army's frontline today was really unexpected.

At the beginning, a desperate attack of 10,000 people actually suppressed the elite Qin army. The second wave of Zhao army's attack was even more unexpected.

The encirclement of the Qin army on the front line of Hanwang Mountain was broken many times, and the battle was fierce.

But the fiercest battle is still on the store wall.

By capturing this place, cutting off the connection between Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, and cooperating with the Qin army's back-up plan, it is possible to directly end the Changping War and even capture half of the Zhao Kingdom.

The most elite force of the Qin Army, one hundred thousand strong, crossed the Dan River without hesitation after the Zhao Army took action, and crashed directly into the store's barrier.

The red soil slope in front of the barrier was densely covered with corpses.

Li Yun laid layers of traps on this soft red soil slope.

The outermost layer is a deep pit with bamboo sticks inserted at the bottom, covered with thin wooden boards and dust.

The Qin army's first charge was buried in the pit.

Then the Qin army braved the rain of arrows and set up planks on the pit, but in some places the planks were not actually needed because the corpses were higher than the top of the pit.

Then the Qin army experienced the second line of defense - the muddy land, and there were still deep pits in some places.

The water-filled land greatly slowed down the Qin army's attack, and many Qin soldiers even slipped and fell to the ground.

Then they were harvested again by Zhao Jun's bows and arrows.

The Qin army finally rushed to the front of the red soil slope and under the store's rampart.

A huge log, which had been tied to the top of the barrier in advance, was lowered.

The log knocked open the Qin soldiers in the front row and pinned them down, cutting off their arms and legs. A row of rockets shot out.

The logs were already covered with kerosene and immediately burst into flames.

The scorching temperature made the Qin army retreat instinctively.

When the flames were extinguished and the Qin army stepped forward again, huge stones were thrown under the barrier along with arrows.

Broken limbs, blood, and internal organs were scattered above and below the barrier.

The feces and urine collected in advance were boiled to make golden juice.

Zhao Jun covered his mouth and nose with linen cloth, then poured the pot filled with gold juice under the barrier.

Accompanied by the white smoke and huge blisters rising from the high temperature burns on the skin, as well as the screams of the Qin army, the Qin army finally showed signs of retreating.

But immediately, the supervising team stepped forward, beheaded the retreating Qin army, and then joined the siege team.

Bai Qi actually asked all the troops to draw lots and arrange them in echelons, with the team behind serving as the supervising team for the previous team.

Qin's laws are strict and there is no retreat when there is progress.

If you retreat, your family will be harmed.

The desperate Qin soldiers could only close their eyes and rush toward the store's barrier like a tide, not daring to look back.

It was midnight, and the Qin army's offensive showed no sign of weakening. There were one hundred thousand Qin troops on the other side of the Dan River, ready to cross the river.

"Get on the artillery cart." After seeing that most of Hongtupo was occupied by the Qin army, Bai Qi ordered the general Pi beside him.

Suddenly, several messengers ran in.

"Report, Deputy Commander Zheng Anping's camp at the fort was attacked. The current situation of the battle is unknown."

"What!" Bai Qi was surprised, why did Zhao Jun's troops go around to his rear? This tactic is his traditional skill. "How many Zhao troops are there?"

"Reporting to the general, I came to report as soon as possible after the Zhao army attacked. At that time, I estimated that there were about a thousand people."

After Bai Qi heard that the attacking Zhao army had only a thousand men, he felt relieved and waved, "Continue to investigate."

Then he asked Lieutenant General Lei He: "Is there any news from Changping Pass?"

At this time, not only were there no telephones or telegraphs, there were not even fireworks or hot air balloons. The transmission of information on the battlefield relied heavily on the foot power of couriers. The coach needed to make arrangements in advance, and the quality of the middle-level generals also played a very important role in the progress of the battlefield.

Lei He replied: "Not yet, but General Changpingguan Wangling is a veteran general, and General Sima Jin, the other leader of the team, is also a famous general in our army. This battle will be successful immediately. General, please feel relieved."

Bai Dian nodded and continued to ask: "How is the war going at Changping Camp?"

"Reporting to the general, Luo Jun, the general in charge of frontline defense, just asked a messenger to send a letter of apology, saying that he has not been able to complete the encirclement of the 30,000 Zhao troops who assaulted our front line, and he has committed a serious sin. He asked the general to have his head

Put it on his head first, and he will definitely serve his crime and annihilate the Zhao army."

"Where's the central supply camp?"

"General Sima Jian, who was in charge of the ambush, just sent a messenger to report that about 4,000 Zhao Jun cavalry repeatedly wandered where they were, but refused to go in. He was probably afraid of an ambush and was testing our army."

"Let him be patient and patient. It is impossible for Zhao Jun to send only four thousand cavalry. There must be a large army behind. We must wait for Zhao Jun's army to appear before completing the encirclement. I will destroy the main force of Zhao Jun in one go in this battle."

"promise."

"Also, as I said just now, has the artillery truck been loaded up yet?"

"Reply to the general, he has already gone up."

A huge catapult, surrounded by hundreds of Qin soldiers and more than a hundred war horses, arrived in front of the red soil slope.

Seeing this thing, Li Yun on the barrier screamed secretly in his heart.

This thing is the most lethal siege weapon of the Qin State, the artillery cart.

It was composed of a tall tower and two levers. At this time, the artillery carriage mainly relied on manpower.

A huge stone rests quietly on one side of the lever.

Dozens of Qin troops were on the other side of the lever, and tied many ropes to the cannon tips above. One end of the rope was tied to the belly of the war horse.

"put!"

At the command, the war horses began to run wildly, and the huge stone drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

Then fall to the top of the barrier.

boom!

A large part of the battlements above the barrier collapsed, and Zhao Jun standing on it was crushed into a pulp.

The gravel splashed up by the recoil even hit Li Yun's face, leaving blood stains on it, but he didn't notice it at all.

The Zhao army defending the city fell silent for an instant.

Below the barrier, the Qin army preparing to attack the city began to cheer.

Such a huge stone cannot be installed in a short time, nor can it be hit every time.

But the impact on morale is obvious.

What's more, the store's ramparts were in dilapidated condition after being repeatedly attacked by the Qin army.

After being bombarded five or six more times, the store's walls completely collapsed.

Li Mu on Hanwang Mountain was so shocked that his eyes were about to burst. At this time, the Tiger Talisman had already reached his hand.

He hurriedly asked the messenger to wave a flag to signal Li Yun, his brother on the wall, to retreat.

Li Yun looked towards the mountain, in the direction of Li Mu, and smiled.

How could he retreat.

He could not live up to Zhao Kuo's trust in him.

Similarly, he also had to make way for his younger brother Li Mu.

Wang Rong's performance that day made Li Yun understand that after all, someone was dissatisfied with his being reused. And the dissatisfied person was a senior general under Zhao Kuo.

Although Zhao Kuo did not treat him badly because of this, he even gave him the tiger talisman and told him to do it easily.

But Li Yun mistakenly believed that in order to take into account the feelings of other generals, it would be difficult for his brother Li Mu to be reused.

"General, my younger brother Li Mu is ten times more talented than me." Li Yun murmured.

He didn't know why Zhao Kuo knew about his younger brother named Li Mu, but he still remembered that when Zhao Kuo found out that his younger brother was named Li Mu, his attitude towards him instantly became much warmer.

Li Yun was reused after that day.

But he was still very grateful to Zhao Kuo.

He is seeking death today.

After he died, his younger brother Li Mu could take over, and Zhao Kuo would have the best talents to serve him.

Li Yun put the shield on his severed arm and held the dagger in his left hand.

His left-hand sword is still unfamiliar, but this does not prevent him from fighting hard.
