Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Wei Liao who was standing on the top of the mountain snorted and said viciously: "How can we defend if we don't go to the city? Do you want me to give up this Jiameng pass?"

Wei Liao knew very well in his heart that his subordinate general was telling the truth, but the problem was that the current Zhao Jun not only continuously bombed Jiameng Pass with thunderbolts every day, but also sent out small groups of elites to attack it from time to time. Chengguan made a tentative attack.

In this way, once the soldiers of the Qin army are not on the city wall, they may be successfully attacked by the Zhao army.

So even though Wei Liao felt extremely helpless in his heart, he still said very firmly: "Take my order, and anyone who does not obey the military order and is unwilling to defend the city will be killed!"

After a pause, Wei Liao slowed down his tone a bit, and said, "Also, the number of people defending the upper city can also be appropriately reduced, so as not to sacrifice our soldiers in vain, understand?"

Looking at the Jiameng Pass filled with gunpowder smoke below the mountain, Wei Liao couldn't help but sighed, feeling the pressure.

Originally, in Wei Liao's expectation, this time the battle of defending the pass should be to stand on the pass wall, laughing and watching the Zhao army soldiers rushing up to die under the pass wall.

However, the fact now is that I am standing on the mountain, watching the soldiers of the Qin army under my command being completely suppressed by the long-range firepower of the Zhao army on the pass, and they were bombed in vain

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

Just when Wei Liao was feeling depressed, Li Mu was standing in Zhao Jun's camp, and also heard a piece of news that made people not happy.

The quartermaster is reporting to Li Mu: "Governor, the stock of Zhentianlei is running out. If it continues to be consumed at the current rate, then around noon tomorrow, there will be no more Zhentianlei available. The subordinates think , perhaps the frequency of projections should be slowed down."

After all, Handan is still too far away from Jiameng Pass, and all the Thunderbolts in Zhao State are produced from several gunpowder workshops in Handan, so when the Thunderbolts are consumed in large quantities, the A situation where supply exceeds demand has arisen.

Li Mu frowned slightly, and said after a while: "No need to stop, continue to bombard the enemy formation at the current frequency."

Pang Nuan stood aside, heard the conversation clearly, couldn't help but sighed, and said, "It's really strange, is the Jiameng Pass of the Qin people really so hard?"

You must know that Zhao Jun has been bombarding Jiameng Pass continuously for five days.

According to previous guesses, the wall of Jiameng Pass should be unable to withstand it in at most three days, but judging from the current situation, it is obvious that both Li Mu and Pang Nuan made a mistake.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "If you can't break through the city wall today, then attack directly according to conventional tactics tomorrow. After so many days of bombardment, the Qin people's wall is no longer as strong as before. .”

Pang Nuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

At this moment, an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly attracted the attention of the two of them.

The two turned their heads to look, and then saw the tall tower of Jiamengguan collapsed suddenly, countless stones crashed to the ground, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky, covering everyone's sight.

Pang Nuan opened his mouth wide, his heart was full of surprise and joy.

What he had been looking forward to for the past few days finally happened at this moment!

Beside Pang Nuan, Li Mu also showed a look of excitement, and gave the order very eagerly.

"Beat the drum, march!"

The thunderous drums began to sound, and Zhao Jun rushed out of the camp like a tide, and rushed towards Jiameng Pass not far away.

"Not good!" When Wei Liao on the mountain saw this scene, his chest felt as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer.

From Wei Liao's point of view, he was actually more able to see what happened than Li Mu.

Not only the tall city gate tower, but also a small part of the closed wall facing Jinniu Road also collapsed, forming a slope about two or three feet long enough to climb.

As long as Zhao Jun's soldiers rush here, they can easily rush up the wall along the collapsed slope. At that time, everything will be over.

Wei Liao yelled angrily almost without thinking: "Quick, call the gong, call the gong for this general! Also, shoot the arrow immediately, shoot the arrow!"

After so many days of stalemate, the first real face-to-face fierce battle between the Qin and Zhao armies finally began.

The war has entered the most intense time period almost from the beginning.

At the beginning, Qin Jun relied on the dense dual firepower from Guanshang and the mountain to firmly suppress the charging Zhao Jun on the narrow Jinniu Road.

But Zhao Jun's will to attack the city is also very firm, because the governor Li Mu has already spoken before the battle, any Zhao people who can take the lead in climbing the city of Jiameng Pass will be promoted to two ranks after the war, and promoted to one rank. class!

Under such stimulation, the soldiers of the Zhao army also fought bravely to take the lead. After paying the sacrifice of nearly a thousand people, the first officer of the Zhao army finally rushed to the top of the city, waving the sword in his hand one after another. He overthrew many of the defenders of the Qin State, allowing Zhao Jun to gain a foothold on the wall of Jiameng Pass.

Seeing more and more soldiers of the Zhao army rushing up the wall, Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, and said to Pang Nuan, "This warrior who rushed up the wall is very good. I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Pang Nuan smiled and said: "This son's name is Sima Shang, and he served under Juqing before, and Juqing was full of praise for this son, saying that he was able to defend Shangdang when the countries attacked Zhao, and this son also made great contributions. Woolen cloth."

"Sima Shang?" Li Mu nodded and said with a smile, "Very good, I remember this name."

A Zhao general standing behind Li Mu called out: "Look, Commander, the Qin army on the mountain has begun to retreat!"

Li Mu looked up, and sure enough, he found smoke and dust billowing on the mountain, many Qin troops were retreating hastily, and the flags were very scattered.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth, and he said to Pang Nuan: "Pang Qing, quickly organize the pursuit, we must not let the people of Qin run away!"

Pang Nuan responded excitedly, and immediately went to mobilize the troops.

Suddenly, a burst of earth-shattering cheers sounded, attracting Li Mu's attention.

Accompanied by the teeth-stinging sound of machine guns and friction, amidst the cheers of countless soldiers of the Zhao army, the gate of Jiameng Pass was finally slowly opened to the Zhao army coming from the north.

Chapter 989 The Bad News from Cai Ze (First Update)

Chengdu.

In the state of Qin, this city is actually a very special city.

The reason why it is special is that after taking the land of Bashu, Qin State once carried out large-scale renovation, reconstruction and expansion of Chengdu City.

After the completion of these huge projects, Chengdu City not only became the largest and most populous city in the Bashu Basin, but also became a "replica" Xianyang City.

The reason why it is said to be a replica is because during the renovation and reconstruction, the people of Qin State built the city exactly according to the appearance of Xianyang City.

The reason for doing this may be that the ancient kings of Qin State had already thought that one day Qin State might face the situation of losing Guanzhong and retreating to Bashu, or it may be simply because the ancient kings of Qin State hoped that Chengdu would become a city in the future. A replica of Little Xianyang.

But in any case, the replica version is only a replica after all, and although the style and shape of the building can be reproduced, the mountains, rivers and climate conditions cannot be changed.

Summer is a very sad season, and the summer in the Bashu Basin is even more sad than that in Guanzhong, because it is too hot and stuffy.

Even though it has just entered the summer, the air in the temporary palace in Miyagi, Chengdu is already full of scorching heat. Any soldier of the Qin Army who is on guard will not spend a cup of tea as long as he stops at the gate of the palace. , sweat will slowly drip from his forehead, and then drip to the ground.

Cai Ze hurriedly walked through the corridors of the palace, his old face was full of anxiety.

A moment later, a palace that resembled Xianyang Palace appeared in front of Cai Ze.

There was a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the palace.

Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, then strode into the palace.

In the main hall, a group of dancers are dancing to the melodious music.

Cai Ze, who confirmed his guess, couldn't help frowning.
