Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 109
Outside Jicheng, the Qin army camp.

When the imperial edict of the Qin Dynasty was issued, General Wang Jian was very satisfied after reading it, and immediately praised: "The king is a hero, he is a general, and he is a tyrant, and he will be the king of the world!"

Immediately, all the soldiers received the general's order and came to the camp to discuss the matter of "surrounding the spot to fight for aid".

Everyone was at a loss when they heard the siege, but after listening to Wang Jian's explanation, a gleam of joy flashed in everyone's eyes. They looked at Jicheng outside the camp with profound eyes, and said slightly: "Using this plan, there is no need to encircle with three roads." , will be able to break Yan Dan's trick!"

Next, the soldiers began to discuss how to practice.
Outside Wang Jian's tent.

A huge catapult machine is being produced non-stop.

The army in the barracks was busy with training and had no time to take care of the construction, so Wang Jian recruited farmers from the surrounding villages.

General Zhang Han, who accompanied the army, spread out a blueprint and boasted: "This is a giant catapult of the Qin army. If it is made, it can directly bombard the city gate from five hundred steps away!"

The farmer who was forcibly recruited looked stunned, his eyes were wide open, his back was wet with sweat.

Small catapults can throw a hundred paces, and even giant catapults can throw up to two hundred paces.

What is the concept of five hundred steps, directly across the moat outside Jicheng, and smashed into the city gate!

The folks had superficial knowledge, they only cared about the shock, and did not consider the feasibility of the catapult. If the catapult of [-] paces was made, the Qin army would not have to attack the city when they attacked Zhao, and a catapult could hit the Handan palace.

Zhang Han just created panic and let down his vigilance at night. After the farmer fled, he informed the guards in Jicheng of the news.

In addition, Zhang Han also informed the farmer: "In three days, the Qin army will use giant slings to capture Jicheng."

Sure enough, after the farmer sneaked away at night, he informed Yan Dan in Jicheng of the news.

After hearing the news, Yan Dan pondered for a moment, then summoned the four guards in Jicheng, and discussed: "Three days later, the Qin army attacked Jicheng on the surface, but in fact they were attacking Yuyang."

"The giant catapult is just a cover, making a catapult with five hundred steps is just a dream!"

"Making catapults is just to make the soldiers panic and dare not stay in the city."

"And the real purpose of the Qin Army is to attack Yuyang City!"

After the analysis, the four defenders of Jicheng nodded frequently, and then replied: "Three days later, when the Qin army attacks Yuyang City, our army will go out of the city, attack from inside and outside, and annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop!"

After all, they patted their chests from time to time and said to themselves: "It seems that the Qin army is not invincible!"

But who knows, Yan Dan just fell into Qin Jun's plan to encircle the spot and fight for aid.

The core of besieging aid is to aid, self-righteous to cooperate with the outside, but once they leave the city, they will be quickly wiped out.

When the strength of the two armies is equal, the enemy will stick to the barriers and cannot attack by force. It is a time-tested tactic to encircle and attack reinforcements.

During the War of Liberation, the Communist Army used the strategy of encirclement and reinforcements to defeat the Kuomintang.

There are two ways to break the siege.

The first method is to withdraw from the "point" surrounded by the opponent, but how could the Yan army withdraw from the two major military centers of Jicheng and Yuyang?
The second method is to voluntarily give up assistance and attack the opponent's fortress.

The incompetent Yan Dan naturally didn't think of this, and thought that the main force of the Qin army was attacking Yuyang, and the Yan army only needed to cooperate with the outside, and the Qin army would undoubtedly be defeated, but he didn't know that it was in the hands of the Qin army.

The next day.

The Qin army transported a small number of troops and "giant catapults" to the outside of Yuyang City, pretending to be a strong attack.

Yuyangling heard the news that Yandan came to support, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Once the prince's army arrives, the [-] soldiers in the city will follow me out of the city!"

Everyone was encouraged, and they also wanted to rush out of the city and destroy the prestige of the Qin army.

The scout of the Yan army, who was in charge of investigating the enemy's situation, returned to the army and told Yan Dan: "The prince really has a clever plan. Attacking the city is just a cover. It is the strategy of the Qin army to attack the east and attack the west. The Qin army will be defeated by cooperating with the inside and the outside!"

Yan Dan smiled coldly, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Wang Jian, who is known as the ever-victorious general, is nothing more than that. He thinks his plan is perfect, but he doesn't know that there are many loopholes. Today, he will wipe out the Qin army!"

Yan Dan pulled out the long sword in his waist and gave an impassioned speech to boost morale. The three armies were silent in awe. Undoubtedly defeated.

The black army of Yan was wearing battle armor and riding on horses, shooting out like a long bow. The densely packed Yan army rushed towards Yuyang City.

When the Yan army entered the hills to the north of Jicheng, the defenders in the mountainside rushed out from the two wings, with blades like forests, arrows and stones like rain, and rushed to attack the Yan army like beasts.

The Yan army panicked and was routed. They were quickly dispersed by the encroaching Qin army, and the three guards of Jicheng were beheaded on the spot.

Even in the cold wind, Li Xin's armor was still warm, and his halberd was stained with blood, chasing and killing Yan Dan.

Yandan managed to break out of the encirclement and rushed to Jicheng with more than ten personal guards. The soldiers of Jicheng thought that Yandan had returned in triumph and were about to congratulate him.

When Yan Dan told the truth, the guard's legs went limp, his eyes darkened, and he collapsed to the ground.

When the news reached the palace of Jicheng, Yan Wangxi's eyes burst into sternness, and he scolded: "Yan Dan, are you guilty?"

Yan Dan carried the thorns on his back, followed Lian Po's pleading guilty, mourned silently for the [-] dead souls in Jicheng, and apologized to Yan Wangxi, telling him: "Father, Jicheng can't stand it anymore. If the Qin army's three-way troops gather , we have no chance to escape!"

Sure enough, Yan Wangxi took the remaining [-] royal guards in the city and escaped from Jicheng in the dim night.

At the same time, after learning that the [-] defenders in Jicheng had been wiped out by the Qin army, Yuyangling led the entire city to surrender.

The strategy of encircling the spot to fight aid was implemented smoothly, Wang Jian had a smile on his face, his cheeks were still hot under the cold wind and the setting sun.

When the news reached Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng smiled lightly, feeling overjoyed: "The news delivered by the young slave is very important!"

One move to encircle and attack reinforcements consumes very little troops, but it can take Jicheng and Yuyang, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, into the bag and merge them into Daqin.

After Wang Jian's victory news came, Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng also rushed to Zhangtai Palace, and the former army shouted that almost three-quarters of Yan State's territory was included in Qin State's territory.

It's just that Yan Wangxi escaped from Jicheng and retreated to Liaodong. He is still lingering and resisting!

Qin Wangzheng's face darkened, retreating to Liaodong was nothing to worry about, but Yan Wang liked to establish diplomatic relations with Donghu, if he advances all the way, it will be difficult to capture Liaodong for a while.

And Yan Wangxi also killed Prince Dan, Qin Wangzheng calmed down his anger.

Therefore, Qin Wangzheng ordered 30 troops to march south to fight against Wei in the coming year.

At the same time, several Black Ice Terrace assassins poured into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace
