Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Many rolling logs and boulders fell from the top of the city one after another, smashing many Korean soldiers to pieces and falling from the ladders, and some Zhao Guo defenders even brought plates of hot golden juice. It splashed down on the Korean soldiers who were climbing up, causing many Korean soldiers to be scalded and screaming.

Even if a few South Korean soldiers were lucky enough to climb onto the wall, the defending soldiers who had already prepared on the top of the wall immediately swarmed up, and the Korean soldiers who were not able to gain a firm foothold in chaos.

Just relying on the scene in front of him, any general with a little bit of military savvy can tell that it is obviously not that easy to break through such a city.

As time passed by, the number of casualties of the Han army's siege soldiers continued to increase. Many Han army generals couldn't help looking at Jin Yan, but they didn't get any words from Jin Yan's mouth at all.

Unknowingly, the western sky was full of red clouds, and it was the last hour of the day. After watching the siege battle all day, Jin Yan finally couldn't help but let out a long breath, waved his hands in frustration, and said: "Pass down the order to suspend the siege today, call gold to withdraw the troops."

As soon as Jin Yan finished speaking, many Korean generals around him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, the ear-piercing sound of Mingjin sounded from the Han army's rear camp.

After hearing the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops, the South Korean siege soldiers retreated one after another, and after a while, they retreated into the camp of the Korean army like a tide.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Jin Yan couldn't help but sigh again.

Not to mention what happened during the siege, just saying that the speed of retreat was fast enough to explain something.

To be honest, although South Korea has always been the younger brother of Zhao Guo, in the heart of the top general in the South Korean military, he has never felt that his troops are much weaker than Zhao Guoren.

In Jin Fu's view, the reason why Zhao State was able to dominate the world is only because Zhao State had a much wiser monarch than Han Wangran, and famous generals like Lian Po, Pang Nuan and Li Mu.

In Jin Fu's mind, there are only a few county soldiers in this Changzhi city, and only Ju Xin, a defeated general, is in charge. Isn't that just casually defeated?

However, the facts ruthlessly gave Jin Fu a big slap in the face. After nearly a month of siege, Jin's [-] troops still made no progress under Changzhi City, and there was no hope of breaking the city.

And after these days of observation, Jin Fu also discovered a fact that shocked him a little, that is, the armor of the Zhao soldiers guarding the city wall is actually worse than that of the soldiers of the Han army. Not much.

You must know that these are just the county soldiers of Zhao State!The county soldiers are all dressed so well, so what is the state of Zhao's central army?

Doesn't this mean that Zhao Guo's casting technology is actually almost the same as that of South Korea, and may even surpass South Korea?

What Jin Fu didn't know was that with the opening of several smelters in the vicinity of Datong in the past few years, coupled with the exhaustive improvement of craftsmanship and technology by master craftsmen such as Fu Zhen, Zhao's smelting level is actually already high. It has secretly surpassed South Korea and has become the crown of ironmaking in all countries.

It is precisely because of this that even Shangdang County, a county that is not valued very much in the country of Zhao, has a total of [-] sets of armor and equipment in its treasury that are comparable to soldiers of the regular Korean army.

What made Jin Bing feel even more worried was that it was clear that only a few thousand soldiers from Shangdang County and tens of thousands of Shangdang people in the city were guarding the city of Changzhi. The guy who looks like a mob has resisted the attack of the main force of the [-] Korean army led by Jin Fu for half a month.

If even a mere county soldier can withstand Jin Fu's attack, then if the main force of Zhao State appears here, wouldn't Jin Yan be doomed?

Thinking of this, Jin Yan couldn't help but feel worried, and he didn't feel like eating dinner, so he went back to the big tent to think about countermeasures.

But Jin Yan had just returned to the big tent when a scout hurriedly appeared in front of him.

"General, urgent report from the north!"

Jin Yan couldn't help but jump slightly when he heard the words, but he said calmly on his face: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

The scout hurriedly replied: "Back to the general, Zhao's reinforcements have broken through the northern defense line a few days ago, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers have fled back to the camp!"

"What?" When Jin Yan opened his eyes sharply, an unconcealable anger appeared on his face: "Why did the Zhao people break through the line of defense?"

The so-called northern line of defense is the line of defense that Jin Fu set up dozens of miles north of Changzhi City in order to prevent Zhao's reinforcements from rushing to help Changzhi City.

The location of this line of defense was specially researched by Jin Fu. It is absolutely an excellent place for guarding.

Jin Fu also sent a total of [-] Korean soldiers to station here, in order to ensure that Zhao Guo's reinforcements could not go south to help Changzhi City.

It is precisely because of this line of defense that blocked Zhao's reinforcements that the main force of South Korea has been able to attack Changzhi County unscrupulously.

According to Jin Fu's plan, he originally planned to break through Changzhi County first, and then lead the main force of the Korean army to the north with the power of victory to compete with Zhao Guo's reinforcements.

However, what Jin Yan never imagined was that before Changzhi County was conquered on his side, Zhao Guo's reinforcements over there had already taken the lead in breaking through his defense line.

Considering the distance, at most at dusk tomorrow, nearly [-] Zhao Guo reinforcements will appear under Changzhi City.

At that time, Jin Fu will no longer be able to siege Changzhi County as much as he has these days.

Thinking of this, Jin Fu couldn't sit still any longer, he strode out of the account and summoned the generals to inquire, and sure enough, he learned that many remnants of the defeated soldiers from the northern defense line had just fled back.

"Damn it!" Jin Fu's face sank like water, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart began to become more and more intense.

Originally, I thought that this battle should be easy to win, but I never expected that it would be so difficult, and looking at it now, I am afraid it will continue to be difficult.

If we wait until Zhao Guo's reinforcements join up with the defenders in Changzhi City, will Jin Fu still have any hope of victory?

After a long while, Jin Yan let out a long breath, and said in his heart: "Forget it, I don't believe that I lead more than [-] Korean elites, and I can't even do anything to these tens of thousands of Zhao Guo reinforcements!"

Chapter 7 and Five (Second more)

Just when Jin Fu outside the city was frowning, Ju Xin, the supreme commander in Changzhi City, just breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got through another day.

As the saying goes, only you know your own hardships, although in the past nearly a month, the soldiers and civilians in Changzhi City have blocked the attack of [-] Korean troops with one heart and one mind, which made General Jin Bing lose all face , looks really commendable.

However, as the supreme commander of the garrison in Changzhi City, only Ju Xin himself knows that in order to achieve this goal, Zhao Guo's army and people in Changzhi City also paid a very heavy price.

Just after the day's battle ended, Ju Xin had already arrived at the top of the city and started a day's inspection.

Such inspections have become a routine for Juxin these days. On the one hand, it is to appease the emotions of the guards in a timely manner, and on the other hand, it is to see if there are any other problems.

As Ju Xin on the top of the city walked, he looked at everything around him with the help of the light reflected by the fire in his hand.

In front of Ju Xin is a city that has been almost completely destroyed.

You must know that the so-called "benefit of soldiers and armor" in South Korea does not only include the weapons and armor of soldiers, but refers to all weapons and equipment. For example, the level of South Korea's trebuchets is also one of the best among the princes of the Warring States Period. .

At this moment, these city walls in front of Ju Xin have been bombarded by Korean trebuchets in these days, and gaps on the battlements can be seen everywhere, and even some places have been completely collapsed by the bombing. A big hole has been opened, and it is impossible for people to continue walking.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Changzhi City is actually precarious and may be captured at any time.

The reason why it has not been conquered yet is that one of the important reasons is that the soldiers of the Korean army have not performed very well these days, and the other reason is due to the fact that Ju Xin has done a good job to Shangdang County of Zhao State in the past two years. Strict training of the county soldiers.

There is actually very little land in Shangdang County. It is precisely because of this that most of the soldiers in Shangdang County have the experience of foraging for food and supplementing their families on weekdays. They are both farmers and households.

Since he is a householder, it is natural that he has the experience of fighting tigers, leopards, wolves and insects in the mountains and forests, and his foundation is much better than those farmers who only know how to bury their heads in farming all year round.

It is also these county soldiers who used to be households. They grew up at a speed that even Ju Xin could not have expected in such a fierce and cruel battle of defending the city, and played a role that made the Koreans The same unimaginable combat effectiveness made the South Korean army hit the wall again and again under the city of Changzhi.

But even so, the residents of Changzhi City also paid a heavy price.

The most intuitive point is that before the war, there were more than 8000 defenders in the inner city, including all the recruited young and strong, but now there are only about 3000 who can go into battle.

The problems don't stop there.

Before the inspection, Ju Xin had just gone to Li Qi, the county guard, and informed Li Qi of the latest battle situation.
