With this major case that shocked the world, the three important officials Yu Xin, Li Si, and Lu Buwei became famous all over China for a while, and the Ministry of Commerce led by Lu Buwei began to come into the eyes of the world.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Yingdu.

Lian Po stared at the majestic city in front of him, his old face thoughtful.

In front of Lian Po, tens of thousands of Zhao Jun were screaming like a mountain roar and a tsunami, like a black and red tide, spreading towards the huge city wall of Yingdu City, trying to destroy the city. The city was completely swallowed up.

But there is no doubt that the Chu people will not sit still.

As the capital of Chu State, Yingdu has a history of hundreds of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the spiritual totem in the hearts of Chu people.

As long as Ying Du is still there, Chu State will not perish!

Although Zhao Jun has swept the world over the years and has already achieved a great reputation, before Lian Po's soldiers arrived, nearly half of the people in Yingdu City had already run away.

But the problem is that not every Chu people are so afraid of death, nor are there no Chu people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their own country.

In addition, Li Yuan, Ling Yin of the Chu State in the capital city of Ying, obviously already understood what kind of ending he would have after the city was broken, so this Ling Yin almost put all his eggs in one basket and put all the power he could use into it. , just to contain Yingdu.

In order to confuse the soldiers and civilians in the city, Li Yuan even made people publicize in the city, saying that once the Zhao people break the city, they will kill all the men in the city who are taller than the wheels, and then kill all the remaining children and women. He was reduced to a slave and taken to the Western Regions thousands of miles away to mine.

Under such various measures, the soldiers and civilians of the state of Chu in Yingdu were finally aroused with such a desire to survive against the enemy, and they fiercely resisted Zhao Jun's attack.

At this moment, in front of General Lian Po, a cloud ladder of Zhao Jun was pushed away from the top of the city by the Chu Army on the top of the city. The long ladder drew an arc in the air and landed heavily. Many Zhao Jun above fell into the smoke and dust one after another, corresponding to the bursts of cheers from the top of the city.

But the cheers above the city didn't last long, and soon turned into waves of exclamations.

"Zhen Tianlei, quickly hide!"

Shocking thunders roared down from the sky under the throwing of Zhao Jun's catapult, and landed on the top and inside of Yingdu City.

Amidst the bang and bang explosions, bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from the city of Yingdu, sometimes accompanied by the screams of Chu soldiers.

Not every Thunderbolt was so accurate, and several Thunderbolts accidentally fell under the city, accidentally injuring many soldiers of the Zhao army.

But no matter whether it is the siege soldiers of Zhao Jun or the soldiers and civilians defending the city of Chu State, the two sides are also fighting non-stop, as if these thunderstorms did not exist at all.

In general, after nearly two months of besieging the capital city of Ying, the Zhao army still did not make much progress.

"This Chu man is really brave, and he is worthy of the name of Nanman." Lieutenant Le Cheng standing beside Lian Po couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Chu people have always been famous for their arrogance.After all, this is a country that dared to establish itself as a king when it was just a small and weak country, and was on an equal footing with the powerful Zhou Tianzi. A tough country that didn't give up.

Lian Po nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The Chu Kingdom has been able to stand here for 800 years, naturally it has its unique features."

As a leading general, Lian Po is naturally very confident in his heart, but this does not mean that this fiery old general does not take the enemy seriously.

Since the defeat of Gaotang, although Lian Po's whole person is still hot, but the situation of underestimating the enemy will not appear in this old general at all.

But when Lian Po led his army to the city of Yingdu, the old general realized that he seemed to have underestimated the Chu people.

Originally, Lian Po thought that he would easily break through this city and bring this Yingdu into the territory of Zhao State.

According to the information submitted by Hu Yiwei before, Li Yuan has mobilized almost all the troops he can mobilize in Yingdu. The western half of Chu State will be completely occupied by Zhao Jun at the speed of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

However, the facts were beyond Lian Po's expectations. Not only did the Chu people not be defeated quickly, but they showed an extremely tenacious spirit of resistance. Even though the siege had lasted for two months, the Zhao army Still no sign of success.

Thinking of this, Lian Po felt quite upset.

Because just a few days ago, Lian Po just got the information that Pang Nuan, who attacked the three major families, successfully caused great panic in the core hinterland of the three major families by using Sima Shang's navy to raid Wucheng. .

Although Sima Shang's force is relatively limited, and the vigilance of the three major families is also very high, resulting in Wucheng not being breached by Sima Shang's surprise attack, but the three major families still had to give up the Yangtze River after learning the news The line of defense began to retreat south.

In this way, the Zhao Guodong Route Army led by Pang Nuan was able to swagger across the Yangtze River and march towards Wucheng.

Since the information was sent back to Handan from Pang Nuan first, and then sent to Lian Po by Yu Xin from Handan, the news that Lian Po learned was actually a month ago. news.

It's been a month, what's the result of Pang Nuan's battle?Could it be that now that he has broken through Wucheng, he is celebrating in the palace of Wucheng?

If that's the case, then what's the face of General Lian Po!

Lian Po's face was as heavy as water, and he was about to say something when his eyes suddenly fixed on a master craftsman from the state of Zhao who was rushing over.

The master craftsman of the Zhao Kingdom came to Lian Po, saluted Lian Po first, and then said to Lian Po happily: "General, all the thunderstorms have been laid, and they are ready to be detonated." !"

Lian Po was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Zhao Jun is now able to use the Thunderbolt to bomb the city wall, since the city wall of Yingdu is also the kind of city wall that has been tested by the catapult, such bombing does not have much effect.

If you want to blow up the city wall, you can only use the original method, which is to bury hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts under the city wall, and then detonate them all at once, so as to blow open the city wall and attack the city wall. The result of entering Yingdu.

The old general let out a hey, and said in a loud voice: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and blast away this damn city wall!"

Chapter 51 Breaking the City (First Update)

Although the whole person has calmed down a lot, it must be pointed out that Lian Po has never been a person who likes to wait.

The waiting during the Battle of Changping was only because Lian Po knew very well in his heart that the troops he commanded at that time were not enough to defeat the Qin people, so he had to wait for the fate of hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers.

But now it is completely different. Now Zhao Jun is in an overwhelming offensive. As long as he wins the capital city of Ying one day earlier, then Zhao Jun will be able to win Chu State one day earlier, and Lian Po will be able to win the battle against the historians one day earlier. Write down a thick and colorful stroke on the credit book.

More importantly, this credit was obtained by suppressing Pang Nuan, an old guy.

That makes people very happy.

As a general, Lao Lianpo has always had unparalleled self-confidence in his heart.

In Lian Po's view, as a general, he is the well-deserved No.1 general in the world!

But the regrettable thing is that although Lian Po himself thinks this way, it doesn't mean that others think the same way.

A title like this is undoubtedly what Lian Po himself said, and it needs to be recognized. Lao Lianpo is also well aware of this, and has been working hard in this direction.

No. [-] in the world, who doesn't want to be?Not to mention number one in the world, even number one in Zhao country.

When he was young, Lian Po once became Zhao Guo's No.1 general. However, with the rise of Zhao She like a comet in the battle between Yan and Zhi, coupled with Lian Po's dissuasion in that battle, he was extremely dissuaded. A rare feeling of cowardice caused Lian Po's position to be replaced by Zhao She, and Ma Fujun Zhao She became the real No. 1 in Zhao's military circle.

It was not easy for Zhao She to die, but at this moment Lian Po found that he still had to face another extremely powerful opponent, Wu An Jun Bai Qi.

In the Battle of Changping, although Lian Po's Zhao army finally won, most people believed that the main reason for this victory was Zhao Dan's strategizing in Handan, Zhao's diplomatic victory, not Lian Po's defeat. Bai Qi, this made Lian Po brood.
