Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Yu Xin suddenly said: "Didn't the king send the Thunderbolt to General Juxin? Let him use the Thunderbolt to see if he can break through Yangdi City."

Not long after Zhao Dan watched the experiment of gunpowder, that is, the experiment of Zhentianlei, Zhao Dan secretly held a second experiment in the palace city of Zhao State, and all the important officials of Zhao State in Handan participated in watching it. In that experiment, they asked several craftsmen to be questioned on the spot, so Yu Xin knew a lot about Zhen Tianlei.

Pang Nuan said: "General Juxin's latest report has stated that he is trying to bury the thunder in Yangdi City, but Yangdi City is a big city after all, and it is not comparable to a small city like Yiqu City, so how effective is it now? Still can't draw a conclusion."

Zhao Dan also had some headaches. He thought that the gunpowder would be able to kill all directions as soon as it came out, but what he didn't expect was that the power was not enough.

In fact, if there is only gunpowder, it is not enough to change the situation of the war. There must be things like guns and cannons, and then turn them into more powerful bombs, or even a complete set of supporting industrial systems. It can really make war enter the era of hot weapons.

Speaking of Zhao Guo now, he is actually still wandering around outside the gate of the era of hot weapons.

Of course, Zhao Dan has already told Fuzhen about these things, and asked the craftsmen of Zhao country to hurry up and find a way to make them, but whether they can be made and when they will be made is completely uncertain.

Zhao Dan knocked on the table with some displeasure, and said: "Immediately send someone to inform the drama secretary, if you can't take Yang Di in time, then retreat first."

Zhao Dan is not very worried about fighting a protracted war. After all, Zhao's national strength is still very strong, and various military supplies, especially food and ordnance, are in sufficient supply. In addition, the main battlefield is outside Zhao's borders. It will be the one that gets dragged down.

"By the way, what happened to the Qi people?" Zhao Dan asked.

This time it was Daxing Zheng Zhu who answered Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, a letter has just arrived from Linzi, saying that Qi Wangjian has made a decision under the persuasion of Xiangbang Housheng, and stays out of this war."

Zhao Dan nodded, not too surprised.

After all, in Zhao Dan's opinion, isn't that the Qi Wangjian in history, it's normal.

Speaking of which, after Zhao Dan crossed over, this Qi Wangjian always fought against Zhao Guo, this is an abnormal behavior

But it may be understandable when you think about it. After all, Qin State in history is in the west, and it is too far away from Qi State. The long distance makes it easy for people to ignore the danger of Qin State.

But in any case, as long as Qi State does not participate in this war, it will be very good news for Zhao State.

So Zhao Dan also showed a smile on his face, and said: "Very well, Zheng Qingru, remember to pay close attention to the diplomatic work on the side of Qi State. It is your great contribution to stabilize Qi State."

Ju Xin said very respectfully: "Here!"

After a while, several ministers of Zhao State left Longtai one after another. Zhao Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing the figures of these ministers leaving.

Everything seems to be going well, I hope it can continue to the end.

Chapter 844 Yangzhai Siege Battle (First Update)

Ji Xin has a headache.

Yangdi City is right in front of you, but it looks completely indestructible.

This city is very tall, and the defense in the city is also very perfect, so perfect that even Ju Xin himself was a little surprised.

At this moment, in front of Ju Xin was a very lively siege scene, the catapults were roaring non-stop, and countless boulders fell from the sky on the top of Yangdi City, smashing the top of the city into pieces of dust.

One ladder after another was erected on the top of the city, and the soldiers of Zhao State clung to it like ants, holding the shield in one hand and helping to climb with the other hand, and headed towards the top of the city at the fastest speed.

However, the stones and hot golden juice thrown down from the top of the city like raindrops caused huge troubles for Zhao Jun's siege. Falling down, many of them were even shot down to the ground before rushing to the bottom of the ladder.

Ju Xin's expression was very serious.

You must know that Yangzhai City has not experienced war for so many years. Logically speaking, there should be some negligence to some extent, but Ju Xin has not found any flaws after attacking the city for so many days.

"It seems that the city guard of this city is a sensible person." Ju Xin let out a long breath, a strand of white hair was blown to his eyes by the wind, and he stretched out his hand to gently push it away.

A fast horse galloped forward, and after a while, it came to Ju Xin: "General, Handan has an urgent order!"

Ju Xin took the urgent report, read it carefully for a while, then raised his head, staring at Yangdi City in front of him, lost in thought again.

"Chu people are coming too, it seems that they really haven't learned their lesson!" Ju Xin spat out a sentence coldly.

At this time, Ju Xin felt a little helpless. If he didn't only have these 15 soldiers under his command, what would the mere [-] Chu people be?

As long as the number of troops increases to about 12, Ju Xin is confident that he can defeat the people of Chu on the frontal battlefield!

But the problem is that Juxin doesn't have so many soldiers.

Regardless of the large territory and population of Zhao State, in fact, the current Zhao State can mobilize only 40 to [-] troops.

A large country means that there are many places that need to be defended, and some territories that have just been conquered need to be guarded by the army, and some reserve teams need to be left to guard against emergencies.

Ju Xin himself is one of the important ministers of Longtai, so he is very clear in his heart that there are only so many people who can be transferred to him.

In fact, even if Handan did not send an urgent report, Ju Xin would soon learn of the Chu army's movements. After all, the Chu people came directly towards Ju Xin.

Judging from this urgent report, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the forwards of the Chu army will begin to arrive.

"Damn Chu people, why are you so fast?" Ju Xin couldn't help cursing angrily.

Although the number of 6 is not much, it is enough to attack Yangdi City.

You must know that before the war between Zhao and Han, Han Wangran had already transferred almost all the troops in South Korea to Xinzheng, so there were only [-] defenders in Yangdi City.

Although it is said that Yangdi City has a large population, Ju Xin believes that as long as he consumes nearly [-] soldiers through continuous siege battles, it is impossible for the remaining young men and women to stop Zhao Guo. Warriors attack.

It will take up to ten days at most, and Ju Xin can take this city steadily, but now he doesn't have so much time at all.

Ju Xin didn't want to retreat, not at all.Even if they want to retreat, they must first take down Yang Di.

You must know that Ju Xin is a person who has made mistakes. He proved that his thoughts are stronger than those of other Zhao Guozhong officials.

The battle has already been fought to this point, and seeing that the city can be taken down with more effort, it is necessary to retreat at this time, not to mention that Ju Xin can't accept it, even the [-] Zhao Guo under Ju Xin's command Even a good man can't accept it!

"It seems that we can only take a risk." Ju Xin's eyes flickered for a while, and he finally made up his mind.

He called his personal guard captain: "Go, invite those master craftsmen."

After a while, several craftsmen appeared beside Ju Xin, and greeted him: "I have met Ju Qing."

Ju Xin nodded with a smile, and said: "Masters, you don't need to be too polite. I called you here this time, but I actually have a few questions I want to ask you."

Ju Xin's words were very polite, which made the generals around Ju Xin look a little weird after hearing this.

Craftsmen actually have no status in this era, and they are even worse than soldiers, so Ju Xin's attitude naturally surprised these unknown Zhao generals.

Several craftsmen were obviously a little embarrassed, and after a while, an older craftsman who seemed to be the leader said: "Please ask the drama secretary."

Ju Xin didn't talk nonsense, and directly raised his finger to the city wall of Yangdi City in front of him: "I just want to ask, can this city wall be solved with that thing?"

The old craftsman froze for a moment, then said, "I'm sure."

Ju Xin frowned, and it took a while before he said, "How much must it be?"

The old craftsman thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Fifty percent."
