Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Maybe it's just old age.The prince of Qin, who has not officially succeeded to the throne, comforted himself in his heart.

It must be so.

Chapter 5 and one are difficult, how difficult! (fifth more)

Gao Tang City.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and countless soldiers of Zhao State held the ladders and pushed the chariots, forming an extremely turbulent crowd, rushing towards the tall Gaotang City.

The densely packed arrows on the city fell like raindrops, shooting down many Zhao soldiers on the way to charge.

However, many soldiers of the Zhao army successfully broke through the blockade of the arrows and rushed under the city wall. A ladder was driven up to the top of the city. The soldiers of Zhao State started to climb along the ladder like dense ants.

Zhao Jun's commander Lian Po stood on the watchtower in the camp, staring at Gaotang City a few miles away in front of him.

Although the old general's beard and hair were all white, he was still full of energy and tall, standing there as straight as a pine tree.

Lian Po is no stranger to this city.

More than ten years ago, Lian Po personally led Zhao Jun to capture this city and make this city the territory of Zhao State.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lian Po's mouth could not help but twitch slightly: "Tian Dan, hum, Tian Dan!"

Obviously, Lian Po was very dissatisfied with using such a city in exchange for a person like Tian Dan.

In fact, the decision to exchange Gao Tang for Tian Dan caused great controversy in the political arena of Zhao State. Many ministers of Zhao State, including Lian Po, firmly opposed this matter.

However, King Zhao Hui, who was in power at the time, ignored these objections, and finally insisted on completing the exchange.

To this day, Lian Po still feels that it was not a good decision.

A sound of footsteps sounded from behind Lian Po, it was Le Cheng who came.

"General, Wei Wuji has led a hundred thousand Wei troops to land in Dong'a!"

Lian Po's face was calm, and he asked without turning his head: "Have all the soldiers at Dong'e retreated?"

"Yes, they all retreated according to the general's order." Le Cheng said with a puzzled expression on his face: "General, my subordinates don't understand why they let Wei Wuji go ashore when they can conquer Dong'e tomorrow morning ?”

Lian Po smiled and said: "Wei State is located in the middle of the Central Plains, with well-developed shipping and many ships. If we fight Wei Wuji on the water, I have no chance of winning. But if Wei Wuji goes ashore, then he will lose."

Only then did Le Cheng suddenly understand, and said again: "The news has come from the Yan Kingdom, Xiang Bang Lejian personally led the army to attack Qi, and now one hundred thousand Yan troops have crossed the Hejian land and surrounded Rao'an."

Lian Po raised his eyebrows slightly, and let out a sneer: "These people from the country of Yan came quickly when they were looting, but what happened to the country of Qi?"

Le Cheng shook his head and said, "So far, we haven't found anything unusual about Qi."

Lian Po nodded lightly, first glanced at the top of the city that was still in fierce battle, then looked up at the sun that seemed to be setting soon, and said: "Send the order, Mingjin withdraws troops."

As one of the five capitals of Qi, Gaotang City is not only a city, but also a military fortress.

To break through such a strong city, just a few days is obviously not enough.

It was not the first time for Lian Po and Le Cheng to attack such a fortified city, and they both had enough patience.

And in Dong'e City, about a hundred miles away, there was thunderous cheers at this moment.

The [-] troops from the ally Wei State have already camped outside the city of Dong'e. The Zhao army who had besieged the city retreated in embarrassment. The soldiers and civilians of the Qi State in the whole city were relieved. The withdrawal of the siege of the city was the beginning of the counterattack between Qi and Wei in this battle.

But in the handsome tent that Wei Jun had just set up, Wei Guobei's general Zhong Cheng was obviously not so optimistic.

"The Zhao army gave up the siege of Dong'e so easily, I'm afraid it's a fraud, Mr. Xinling."

Wei Wuji smiled lightly and shook his head: "No fraud, Lian Po just wants me to land in Dong'a."

Zhong Cheng was even more puzzled: "Why?"

Wei Wuji said: "Zhao's army does not have a naval division. If we deploy defenses along the north bank of the river, we will spend a lot of troops. It is better to give Dong'a to our army. In this way, we don't have to worry about being attacked downstream by my army. "

Zhong Cheng thought for a while, and said, "Lian Po seems to be quite confident."

If Zhong Cheng came to lead the Zhao army, then Zhong Cheng would definitely not allow Wei Guo to gain a foothold in Dong'e on the north bank of the Yellow River so easily.

Wei Wuji laughed, and said: "If I can be as invincible as Lian Po, I think I should be so confident."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhong Cheng was a little worried, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xinling, in my opinion, the combat effectiveness of this Qi army is worrying. It was already revealed during the siege of Handan. The main force of Zhao's Central Army may not be able to win."

In the last siege of Handan, almost all the progress came from the side of Wei State, and Qi State was more of a soy sauce role, and did not pose too much threat to the defense line of Handan City at all.

Wei Wuji suddenly asked, "Is there any return from Pinglu?"

Pinglu is one of the five capitals of the Qi State, and at the same time it is the closest to Gaotang, so Wei Wuji is also very concerned about the movements of the Qi army in the direction of Pinlu.

Zhong Cheng replied: "According to the latest information, at most [-] Qi troops from Pinglu City will arrive at the south bank tomorrow and start preparing to cross the river."

"Very good." Wei Wuji nodded and said, "They may not have enough boats, so we can order our boats to give them some assistance, so that they can cross the river and join our army as soon as possible to help Gaotang."

"Here!" Zhong Cheng nodded in response, and then said with some puzzlement: "Mr. Xinling, the situation in Gaotang City is critical now, why don't you rush to help as soon as possible?"

Wei Wuji shook his head, and said: "Gaotang City is very strong, even Lian Po can't take it easily, and I suspect that Lian Po may set up an ambush on the road, it's better to join up with the Qi army first and then set off."

After a while, Zhong Cheng left, and Wei Wuji sat alone in the big tent, meditating in silence.

Tang Qi's figure silently appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

"Your Majesty, the information from the Qi State has just arrived."

"Say."

"Qi is currently preparing for war. Qi Wangjian has begun to recruit troops from various capitals. It seems that he is going to fight Zhao and Yan with all his strength."

The corners of Wei Wuji's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Qi Wangjian is just putting on airs. As soon as Gao Tang falls, Qi State will definitely ask Zhao State for peace. But right now, this is a good thing. But And other national intelligence?"

Tang Qie said: "Returning to the Lord, the State of Yan has surrounded Rao'an, and there is no movement in South Korea. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in the Hedong County of the State of Zhao State. They set out from Anyi and headed west. It should be the Qin State who sent troops."

Wei Wuji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Qin people won't send troops, so let's go down first."

Tang Qi's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Wei Wuji sat in front of the table, quietly staring at a map in front of him, which marked many mountains, rivers and lakes, as well as the current situation of the entire battlefield.

After a long time, a soft sigh slowly echoed in the big tent.

"Difficult, how difficult!"
