My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

The old Qin people roared Qin Feng and charged towards the huge city that suddenly rose from the ground.

Wei Bing put down his arrows and instead climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and threw locust stones downwards.

There were too many people climbing on the Qin army, like ants clinging to them. The Wei army did not need to aim at all, they just threw them down hard, and they would always hear the impact of stones and armor.

"Once you have great strength, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. Qin Gou will not be able to hold on for long!"

Zhou Shi roared loudly, and the loud messenger carried his voice all over the city wall.

He picked up a big stone and threw it down. Zhou Shi didn't even look at the result. He picked up a big stone and threw it down hard, shouting and commanding himself.

"The enemy will not move their vehicles, and you will not cut down the ladders! I, Zhou Shi, stand with you! Kill more Qin dogs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, flames streaked across the sky, like pieces of burning meteorites, covering the head of Linji City.

Zhou Shi's pro-army troops were well prepared, and they all picked up wooden shields and stood beside Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi's eyes widened. There was no time to use the ladder to trap Qin Dog. The carriage was coming.

He and the two or four guards around him worked together to push down the ladder in front of him, and then shouted an order.

"The car is here, push the ladder!"

The chariot, similar to a trebuchet, is a Chinese siege tool and the earliest air cover.

"Mozi: Preparing the City Gate" contains: A large wall of wood two feet and four inches long was chiseled out early, and a charcoal fire was placed in it to admire it, and then a borrowed cart was thrown into it.

There are no chariots, and the defenders are condescending. Even if their numbers are less than one-tenth of the siege force, as long as they have enough food and grass and their will is intact, it will be difficult to defeat them in a hundred years.

Living people and dead bodies were mixed together and landed at the foot of Linji City, making it impossible to tell which was which.

Just by rushing here, the Qin army lost more than a hundred people.

The first ones to climb are far away and cannot see the light.

One general's success and ten thousand bones withered, this number is definitely small.

A person who has the power to kill Qian Rui first will not know how many Qian Rui he will have to catch up with.

The burning stones fell irregularly, restraining the unscrupulous Wei soldiers at the top of the city, but did not cause too many casualties.

Although the stones thrown up had charcoal fire in the hollows, there was no flammable material at the top of Linji City, which was made of stone and loess.

As for the inferior arrows and golden juice, these city-defending weapons have an eaves-like structure slanting toward the ground. The flint thrown by the cart could only stir up a burst of dust on the eaves, and then rolled away helplessly, unable to damage anything.

Only some guards who were extremely unlucky and not strong enough were hit by the randomly falling flints and died on the spot without breathing.

Taking the chariot too seriously, the siege party came to kill them.

If you don't take your car seriously, there is a small chance that you will die.

The deterrent power of a car is far greater than its lethality, and the psychological pressure it causes on people is far greater than the physical pressure.

This is a siege equipment, and it is also a heart attack equipment. It tests the fighting will of the defenders.

With artillery fire raging, Zhou Shi looked around at the Wei soldiers.

They are methodical and have different expressions. Blood, Qin Feng, and carriages cannot make them flinch at all. Splashing gold juice, pushing ladders, standing on the top of the city and loudly cursing you damn Qin dogs.

Forced by the destruction of their country and their family, the Wei soldiers who were not Wei soldiers also began to fight for their lives.

On the day when the flood destroyed the beam, they had no chance to make it up this time.

Qin Feng was still loud, but the roaring tiger and wolf troops stopped at the foot of Linji City, and they were blocked.

"I am lucky to be able to meet the general now."

Zhou Shi looked back and saw a man wearing a short-fitting soap coat and a beard on his lips.

Zhou Shi wiped his face from top to bottom, and the blood and sweat mixed together, forming a big painted face, which was a bit scary.

"In your opinion, how long can I keep guard?"

His expression was indifferent, and although he was surrounded by stench and blood, he still had an aura of nobility.

"I heard that the General has accumulated 700,000 stones of food and grass in Linji. He has an army of 40,000 people. Stones and trees within a hundred miles have been collected by the General to Linji to resist the Qin army. If the General holds on to Linji and does not leave, he will Even if Wang Jian comes in person, it won’t be broken even in a year.” The man with the bunt bowed his head slightly and said in a deep voice:

"But the general is really willing to do so."

"What are you willing to do?"

"A bastard who is willing to defend the city and not leave the city, but is reviled by the enemy and afraid of fighting, is a bastard who hides in his shell..."

The bunt man was forced to interrupt before he could finish his words.

Two two-foot swords were placed on his neck, and the owners of the two swords were soldiers with burning eyes.

"Let him go."

Zhou Shi gave the order, and the two soldiers snorted coldly and withdrew their swords, leaving two slender blood marks.

The bunt man didn't even frown, nor did he reach out to touch the painful spot on his neck. He just looked at Zhou Shi calmly.

…………

Qin army camp.

The second emperor held a simple and large case with both hands and stared at the map as if in a daze.

In front of him, Da Qin's generals kept talking.

"Bypass this city!"

In the Qin army camp, the white-haired Lian Po said solemnly.

The veteran tapped the map.

"Today's Linji reminds me of Handan. Our army cannot conquer it."

Li Xin, who returned to the camp urgently to discuss matters, looked unhappy. It was his former army that was attacking the city now.

"The power of Qin's sword is unstoppable. This city is just a trapped beast still fighting. Is the lieutenant afraid because of his old age?"

"The Handan I defended was defeated by the royal tomb and the king. Bai Qi did not dare to attack. This Linji, in terms of morale and preparation, is almost the same as the Handan after Changping. I said that if you can't attack Linji, you can't! "

Li Xin wanted to argue again.

[You said Mr. Wu An is afraid of you? ridiculous! ]

Meng Tian grabbed the younger brother who was eager to avenge his shame and was confused.

"Second opinion, the Wei Kingdom's initial recovery efforts will not be able to build many cities like this. Tian suspects that there is only one, and there is a smooth path around it."

His father, Meng Wu, was a student of Bai Qi. He knew very well that 80% of what Lian Po said was true.

It's just that the word "fear" is worth debating.

According to my father, Lord Wu An is not afraid of anyone, but he never fights useless battles that are bound to be lost.

A few years after the Battle of Changping, the Battle of Handan was defended by Lian Po, which Bai Qi regarded as a losing battle.

Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, who refused to lead the army to attack Handan of Zhao State, died for King Qin Zhaoxiang after Qin's defeat.

Young general Zhao Tuo jumped out.

"By bypassing Linji, our army is surrounded by enemies from both sides. We are always worried that the Linji defenders will take the retreat and the food route will not be protected. This city must be captured!"

The mature and prudent Ren Xiao continued:

"Fighting head-on, our Qin army is not afraid of anyone. We have led 30,000 elite troops to camp here. We can't stand Linji, so I give you this order!"

Tu Sui shook his head.

"It's not appropriate to bypass Linji. The journey will be greatly extended and we have to pass through the forest. There is no road, so the soldiers and horses can walk, but the carriage will be difficult. General Ren can keep an eye on the Linji defenders, but he can't speed up the grain trucks."

Cities were built in areas where military strategists fought for battle, such as Linji on the bank of the Yellow River.

The Qin Dynasty had only a few transportation networks, and the hubs of the transportation network were very important cities.

These cities either relied on mountain dangers or were built on water. Once you get a city, you get an effective geographical location to contain other cities.

If you can't get a city and take a detour, it will not only take too much time, but it will also be difficult to provide logistical support. In ancient times, food and grass were the most important thing to fight. People could make a detour, but food and grass were too difficult.
