Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 107 Yan Dan's Conspiracy
Wang Jian, Yang Duan and General led 30 Iron Eagle Knights with tiger-head masks to the Bank of Yishui River.

Five thousand cavalry led by Li Xin went to meet them, and the three armies joined forces, and sent troops to Wuyang City, the military center of Yan State.

In addition, Qin Wangzheng also specially issued two royal edicts.

"Ban beheading for meritorious service, and replace it with occupying land for meritorious service."

When Shang Yang reformed, the reason why he set up beheading to perform meritorious service was to stimulate the people to actively fight against the enemy.

For the next 100 years, the method of beheading for meritorious service has continued, and the people of Qin were delighted when they heard the battle.

However, today is the battle of destroying the country. The Yan army is not fighting desperately like Zhao Guo. The Qin army can only break the spirit of Zhao army if it fights bloody to the end.

But Yan State is different. Even the Yan army took advantage of Zhao State's critical situation and mobilized 40 troops, but was still defeated by Zhao State.

From then on, the resistance of Yan State was only enough to defend the city, and it was difficult to advance westward. Therefore, the Qin army did not need to be completely wiped out. As long as the army came to the city in person, Yan State's city would be able to open the city and surrender.

More importantly, the population of Yan's soldiers will all be the subjects of Qin in the future, and they will all be valuable manpower for the future unification of the great country. Killing them willfully will only backfire, leaving endless troubles for the future unification of the great power.

The second imperial edict "forbids the plundering of resources by breaking the city, and only needs to capture the city."

Except for the supplies of the rear-line army, part of the Qin army's food, grass and supplies were requisitioned for food, grass and ordnance after the city was captured.

When Sima broke the alliance of the six countries by mistake, he robbed Ao Cang, which was known as the first granary at that time, and Bai Qi attacked Chu and robbed Yiling resources and burned it.

When Wang Jian's army attacked Yan State, the people in the cities and lands were actually the people in the cities and lands who lived in the same country as him in the future.

That being the case, it is natural not to burn, kill and loot without scruples.

Although Qin Wangzheng was far-sighted and thoughtful, these two royal edicts put a lot of pressure on Wang Jian's battle to destroy the country.

Needless to say, the food and supplies, Qin Wangzheng requisitioned food again, and it was transported to the front line by Ma Qing, the supply general in the capital.

But after the siege, the soldiers could not rob the resources, and they all lost the desire to fight. Fortunately, Wang Jian explained: "It is the emperor's intention that plundering support after the siege is not allowed, it is only for the people in the city, and the nobles of the royal family do not need it! "

As soon as these words came out, the morale of the three armies rose again, and the loud and clear battle song was sung in the army, spreading across the vast snow field.

The army approached the surrounding area of ​​Wuyang City.

Wuyang City leans against Taihang Mountain in the west, Yishui in the south, and connects to the Hebei Plain in the east. The terrain is dangerous and condescending.

However, there are only [-] defenders in Wuyang City, and most of them have been transferred to Jicheng.

Facing an army of 30 soldiers, Wu Yangling sweated profusely, his back seemed to be wet, and he swallowed his saliva.

Regardless of the dissuasion of the officials guarding the city, the Wuyang Order ordered: "Let all the strong men in Wuyang City defend the city. After the Qin army captured the city, they slaughtered the city. No one, men, women, or children will be left behind."

Wang Jian had expected that many days ago, he sent a spy to sneak into Wuyang City and shouted to the whole city: "The Qin army is a division of benevolence and righteousness. If they open the city and surrender, they will only confiscate the weapons in the arsenal."

Therefore, when soldiers were recruited in the city, the people refused to agree, and even advised the generals of the Yan army not to make unnecessary resistance.

In desperation, the soldiers of Wuyang City could only forcibly conscript soldiers, but it aroused public anger. Even if the families burned the food, they were unwilling to hand it over.

The army and the people were not united, and the defenders broke the city after only holding on for five days.

As the Qin army said, after beheading the defenders, they only collected the weapons in the arsenal and stopped looting.

The news spread like wildfire, and soon spread to the ears of the defenders of the cities and towns of the Yan Kingdom, and the guards wanted to open the city and surrender.

Wang Jian was overjoyed and said with joy, "Your Majesty's edict is wonderful!"

Immediately, 30 soldiers were divided into three armies, and the two armies went south and north respectively, accepting surrenders from dozens of cities in Yandi, and the army all the way approached Handan.

The two armies going north and south went smoothly, and soon won the trust of the city defense order, and they surrendered one after another.

However, Wang Jian's army did not go so smoothly. After the army captured Wuyang City, their morale was high, and they were ready to attack Jicheng in one fell swoop.

However, there is Yuyang City next to Jicheng, and the two armies each have [-] soldiers.

This is Yan Dan's strategy, if the two armies hold on to the city and do not leave the city.

If the Qin army really wanted to attack the city, the two cities would join forces inside and outside to pinch the Qin army.

Wang Jian, who has always been strategic, saw the layout of the two cities, bit his lips lightly, and said coldly: "Yandan really has two tricks."

The army did not dare to attack rashly, and the [-] army could not take care of it for the time being.

Wang Jian still used the usual tactics of Ying Bingjiao to lure the enemy out of the city and start a war of encirclement and annihilation.

It's a pity that the Yan army is not stupid. They can defend the city comfortably. Who wants to take the risk and go out of the city to fight to the death with the Qin army? "

In desperation, Old General Wang Jian could only wait for the 20 troops who went south and north to join forces and attack Jicheng.

Zhangtai Palace.

After Qin Wangzheng watched the victory report of the army, there was an indelible smile on the corner of his mouth.

But when he learned that Wang Jian's attack on the city was not going well, Qin Wangzheng frowned, his face sinking like water.

I have to say that the layout of Yandan is very ingenious.

But this is just lingering, helpless.

As long as the two troops that went south and went north were victorious, they could directly attack Jicheng.

With an army of 30, are you still afraid that Jicheng will not be broken?

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Yan is destroyed.

Qin Wangzheng felt humiliated when he thought of Jing Ke assassinating Qin Qin.

Yan Guo didn't want to make progress, but used despicable tricks to cause Qin State to fall into civil strife, which is really hateful.

If Jing Ke succeeds in assassinating Qin, the consequences can be imagined. The eldest son of the lonely king is young, and the royal family and nobles in the court are likely to rob the throne, putting Qin in a difficult situation.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhinu reported to the lonely king in time, otherwise Qin would fall into endless internal conflicts, and the Shandong kingdoms would join forces to attack again, and the hegemony of the world might be difficult to achieve?

Qin Wangzheng gently stroked Xiaozhinu's forehead, and said with a smile: "Little Zhinu, the lonely king owes you another life!"

At first, Xiao Zhinu brought the information of "Killing the King of Qin and Li Ziying", which shattered the long-planned conspiracy of Lai Aiyi.

After that, Xiao Zhinu helped the lonely king solve the schistosomiasis that permeated the imperial city and saved thousands of lives.

This time, Qin Wangzheng was completely pulled back from the gate of hell.

Seeing Qin Wangzheng's smile, the little childish slave "croaked" and responded to Qin Wangzheng with a smile, which comforted Qin Wangzheng a little.

After a brief interaction with Xiaozhinu, Qin Wangzheng began to think about how to break Yandan's defenses and reduce the loss!

Seeing that Qin Wangzheng was troubled by this, Xiao Zhinu decided to travel again.

[Ding, the little childish slave is going to an unknown world, please ask the host to prepare luggage]
After doing all the work, the rift in time and space opened again, and Xiao Zhinu fell into the vortex of time and space again, traveling to the unknown world
