Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 522
Chapter 537
Handan City, as the capital of the puppet Zhao, has its four gates tightly closed at this moment, and Zhao troops from all walks of life are waiting in strict formation.

In the drizzle, Meng Tian stood under the big umbrella supported by his own soldiers, carefully observing the Handan City in front of him.

The height of the city is only second, and there are mountains of defense supplies on the top of the city. It seems that Zhao Miao has been prepared for a long time, waiting to stick to the city and fight to the death with himself.

"Set up camp and wait for the weather to clear before attacking the city." Meng Tian waved his hand, turned and walked towards the camp.

On the top of the city, Zhao Miao looked at several figures appearing three hundred steps away, and guessed that Meng Tian must be among them.These extremely capable people will observe the enemy's city before fighting.

"Meng Tian." Zhao Miao's eyes flashed.

Today's solar terms, the weather can't change the fastest.It was still raining yesterday, but today the sky has cleared up.

Although Zhao Mu cursed God secretly in his heart, he had no choice but to put on his armor and stand at the top of the city with his soldiers.

He knew very well that since Meng Tian dared to march in the rain, he would definitely attack the city when the weather cleared up. It would be a waste of time not to attack the city.

Sure enough, not long after Zhao Miao set foot on the top of the city, there was a roaring sound of drums beating in the opponent's camp.

"Dong dong dong."

With the roaring drums, about a thousand steps away, a large number of troops rushed out of the Qin army camp that had just been set up yesterday.

Although there should be only 3000 people by visual estimation, Zhao Jun in the city did not dare to neglect at all, and Zhao Miao quickly asked his soldiers to be careful.

Following Zhao Miao's order, the soldiers on the city either bent their bows or put their hands on the logs and stones, intending to wait for the Qin army to enter the effective attack range before attacking.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps.Everyone, including Zhao Miao, was silently calculating the approaching pace of the enemy.

When the enemy army is approaching quickly and is about to enter the killing range.Zhao Miao raised his hand, wanting to call out the word beating the drum.

However, at this moment, the Qin army who had just been aggressively preparing to attack the city suddenly retreated like a tidal wave.It went clean in a moment.

Suddenly, Zhao Miao's face became a little ugly.

Although he didn't know what Meng Tian meant by this, but he saw that there must be some kind of conspiracy in such an operation.

The entourage next to him saw the clue and said: "My lord, the Qin army is planning to use the strategy of exhausting troops."

Zhao Mu nodded when he heard this.

This method is poisonous enough.

The attacking party and the defending party are two completely different concepts. The attacking party takes the initiative, while the defending party is completely passive.

You don't know when the attacking party will attack.Therefore, the soldiers defending the city must be patient and mentally tough.

Zhao Jun's quality was already much worse than Qin Jun's. Now that Qin Jun wants to play this trick again, can Zhao Jun stand it?
For three consecutive times, the generals with three flags were changed, each time with 3000 people.Amidst the roar of drums, the aggressive siege of the city came to an abrupt end when it was about to enter the attack range.

This is nothing to the Qin army, because the soldiers know very well whether this is a real attack, so they are very relaxed.

But for the soldiers defending the city, they have to face pressure every time, a pressure that the enemy will attack.The archer tensely pulled the bowstring.

The rest of the soldiers were also bent over, ready to work together to lift stones, logs, etc.

After Meng Tian did this three times, the weakness of Zhao Jun's lack of quality was completely exposed.Some people begin to lose focus.

"Those who don't want to die at the top of the city, don't want the city to be breached, and let the Qin army plunder the city, raise their heads and stare at the front." Although Zhao Jun's generals kept walking on the city, his personal soldiers kept going. They urged the soldiers to be vigilant, vigilant, but some soldiers still lost their minds.

After three times, some people began not to believe in evil.Anyway, another feint.

But soon, they tasted the bitter fruit.

For the fourth time, the sound of beating drums sounded in the camp of the Qin Army, and another 3000 people rushed out.The soldiers habitually thought that this was a feint, and a large group of people relaxed their vigilance.

But this time, the soldiers of the Qin army quickly crossed the attack range, seventy steps, fifty steps.Thirty steps.

The speed was very fast, and some guards didn't even come to their senses.

"Kill, shoot to kill." When Zhao Miao's roar sounded, the soldiers came to their senses one after another, drawing their bows and shooting arrows in a panic.

But it was too late. At this time, the Qin army under the city had already put down the ladder, quickly crossed the moat, and went straight to the city wall.

The archers shot arrows in a panic, weak.This made the Qin army approach the city directly, set up a ladder, and prepare to attack the city.

"Calm down and continue to shoot the enemy in the distance. Ordinary soldiers go up, pick up logs and boulders, and smash them down." He had noticed Meng Tian's plot early on, and observed that something was wrong with his own soldiers.Zhao Miao was very calm at the moment, commanding the soldiers to defend the city in an orderly manner.

Although the quality of Sergeant Zhao's soldiers varied, according to the training procedures, these soldiers could still shoot arrows quickly and throw down logs.stone.

The soldiers of the Qin army who climbed up the city were quickly beheaded, and many soldiers under the city were smashed to pieces amidst the screams.Not far away, the soldiers of the Qin army who were still marching towards the city were shot and killed by bows and arrows.

Qin Jun, who was still arrogant just now, was quickly suppressed.

"Ding, ding, ding." Fortunately, there was a sound of gold ringing in the camp of the Qin army, and the soldiers of the Qin army retreated quickly amidst the crisp sound.

At the gate of the camp, Meng Tian glanced at the returning soldiers.Then look up to the direction of the city, only look at the top of the city.

A general with the word "Zhao" standing under the banner of the commander-in-chief with the word "Zhao" always standing there is a general wearing golden armor, whose face cannot be seen clearly, but Meng Tian instinctively thinks that this person is Zhao Miao.

At the same time, there are even more eye-catching, powerful voices of the generals of the Zhao army who have been roaring just now, ordering the soldiers to kill the enemy, which can still be heard clearly a thousand steps away.

The reason why Meng Tian did not attack by force was because he was afraid that the Zhao army in the city would jump over the wall in a hurry and cause too many casualties to the Qin army, and it was also because Meng Tian was waiting for Wang Ben from the south to join him.

Zhang Wu divided his troops and had less than 7 soldiers under his command.In the Handan City in front of us, there are [-] Zhao troops and a large number of civilians. The enemy is several times larger than our own. A strong attack will inevitably lead to corpses strewn in the fields and rivers of blood.

As the art of war goes, subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the highest good.

Even though Wang Ben may be given some credit for breaking Zhao, for someone like Meng Tian, ​​a little credit is nothing compared to the lives of soldiers.

"It seems that Zhao Jun is not as easy to deal with as we thought. Send an order to launch an attack every half an hour, day and night."

"Hi."
