Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

But now those things have been burned to ashes by a fire.

Yi Qusheng stared at the ruins in front of him, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Not only Yiqu Sheng, many Yiqu cavalrymen among the Zhao army were also shocked by the scene they saw. They either howled in grief or roared angrily, and some even pulled out their knives and cut themselves face, let yourself bleed.

Li Mu sighed, and patted Yi Qusheng's shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, I will help you out with this tone."

As if Yiqu Sheng had never heard of it, he jumped off the horse after a while, and bowed a few times to the ruins of Yiqu City in front of him.

After worshiping, Yi Qusheng pulled out a small knife from his waist, and stabbed it fiercely in his left arm, causing a deep wound.

The blood was flowing, but Yi Qusheng was completely unmoved, but was very sad and chanting something with some strange melody.

Li Mu, who had been in contact with Yiqu Sheng for a long time, heard that this was actually a lament for Yiqu people when they saw off their relatives and friends.

After completing the ceremony, Yi Qusheng returned to Li Mu, and said to Li Mu word by word: "In the name of the gods, I, Yi Qusheng and Wang Jian, will never die!"

Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng with a sad face, couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Don't worry, we will defeat Wang Jian."

Yi Qusheng nodded, his eyes were extremely cold: "At that time, I will cut off his head with my own hands!"

Just when Yi Qusheng vowed to kill Wang Jian, Wang Jian was at the foot of Shaoliang City two or three hundred miles away, staring at the tall city in front of him.

"This city is not very easy to attack, General." Wang Jian's deputy Wei Liao said with a serious expression.

Wang Jian nodded, agreeing to Wei Liao's opinion.

Now Wang Jian has a total of 22 troops, which is the strength he obtained by gathering almost the entire Qin State.

Although the 22 people are actually very watery, for example, the number of standing troops among them is not even half, but it is still powerful enough anyway.

As long as the Shaoliang city in front of us can be taken down, the land of Hexi can be returned to Qin State again.

"I heard that the guard of this city is General Xu Li of the Imperial Guard of the Zhao Kingdom?" Wang Jian asked.

Wei Liao nodded and said: "Xu Li is always calm, and there are about [-] defenders in the city, it is not easy to capture this city."

Although he was very unwilling to hurt his family's morale, Wei Liao was only telling the truth.

Wang Jian smiled and said: "It has never been an easy task to confront the State of Zhao. Otherwise, the State of Zhao would not be so powerful today. As the people of Great Qin, we can only do what we do."

Wei Liao nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, but Wei Liao was wrong."

Wang Jian said: "Okay, let's order people to try to attack the city once."

Of course, the so-called attempt to siege the city still possesses great power under the hands of people like Wang Jian.

The trebuchets kept firing, and countless boulders fell from the sky and smashed on the top of Shaoliang City, causing waves of smoke and dust to rise from the top of the city, which seemed to be shaking.

Amidst the heavy drumming, many soldiers of the Qin Army began to rush forward with bags of sand on their backs and shields in their hands, and began the great cause of filling the moat.

The densely packed soldiers of the Qin army under the city and the boulders that would fall at an unknown time obviously had a certain impact on the morale of the defenders on Shaoliang City, and many people were a little at a loss as to what to do.

A flash of saber flashed, and the head of one of Zhao's generals who was hiding behind the battlements flew into the sky instantly. The chief general Xu Li clenched the long saber in his hand, and said loudly: "What are you doing in a daze? Quickly wind up and prepare to shoot!" Enemy army under the city! If anyone is afraid of the head and the tail, he will be dealt with according to the military law!"

The head finally woke up the Zhao Guo defenders on the city wall, and they began to string up their crossbows and shoot at the soldiers of the Qin army below the city.

Seeing the defenders who were still moving slowly, Xu Li was very dissatisfied.

In fact, Xu Li is very clear why this is because these defenders, except for the [-] Central Army that Xu Li brought from Hedong County, the rest of the defenders are all locals. In other words, they were "Qin people" not long ago. ".

Expecting these old Qin people to attack the Qin army under the city wall obviously does require some means.

"Chongche, it's Chongche! Come on, hurry up and aim the eight-ox crossbow at them!"

One order after another was issued continuously from Xu Li's mouth, and the entire defense line of the Zhao army finally moved in an orderly manner, inflicting casualties on the Qin army non-stop.

After a day of siege, Wang Jian finally issued an order: "Ming Jin, withdraw troops!"

Accompanied by the clanging sound of gold, the soldiers of the Qin army under the city wall began to retreat like a tide.

A burst of cheers erupted from the top of Shaoliang City.

Xu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, remembering what the king entrusted to him when he came.

"You only need to stick to it for a period of time, as short as half a month or as long as a month. Li Mu will definitely be able to mobilize the Qin army back. When the siege of Shaoliang City is resolved, you will be the hero of the widow. You must do this well. things, do you understand?"

Thoughts were turning in Xu Li's mind, and then he looked at Qin Jun in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Wang Jian seems to be nothing more than that!

Chapter 852 Torch

The last thing any general in this world can do is to underestimate his enemy.

Of course Xu Li has the right to underestimate Wang Jian. After all, in Xu Li's view, he is a general of Zhao Guo's Imperial Guard Army, and Wang Jian is just a "little-known" young man from Qin State. It's just a guy who forcibly pushes him to the top.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few troops in his hands, maybe Xu Li would still want to try to go out of the city and fight Wang Jian.

The Qin army continued to attack Jiutian Shaoliang City, but apart from throwing a lot of corpses, it didn't make much progress.

Wang Jian seemed really determined to take Shaoliang City down. The pressure on Shaoliang City every day was so great that Xu Li was forced to send out the real main force non-stop. The army went to the city to support those soldiers from Xihe County and Shangjun County who were enlisted before the war.

On the tenth day, a news spread to the camp of the Qin Army in Shaoliang City.

"Li Mu captured Jingyang?" Wang Jian frowned after receiving the news, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Wei Liao in front of him: "I'm afraid we will soon receive the order from the king to return to Guanzhong."

"Returning to help Guanzhong?" Wei Liao's eyes widened in surprise, "But, didn't we all agree before that, before the Shaoliang City was captured, Guanzhong would hold on for a while, so that Li Mu couldn't find any loopholes?"

Wang Jian sighed, and said: "I was still negligent, Li Mu has already found this flaw."

Wei Liao was still puzzled: "It's just a Jingyang city. Could it be that if Li Mu occupied a Jingyang city, would we be forced to return to the teacher?"

"Yes." Wang Jian nodded with a serious expression, and said, "Don't forget, Jingyang City was the former capital of the Great Qin, and there were ancestral temples and royal tombs in it! If Jingyang City can't be taken back, then isn't the Great Qin To be ridiculed by the people of the world?"

Wei Liao spread his hands and said, "Everyone knows that Zhao Jun is only temporarily occupying the place."

Wang Jian smiled wryly, and said, "If it was any other Zhao general, that would be the case, and I would not be so worried. But the problem is that it is Li Mu! Have you forgotten what he did in Liyang City before? ?”

Wei Liao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then gasped: "What does the general mean, is it possible that Li Mu will burn Jingyang City?"

Wang Jian sighed quietly, and said, "It's not possible, I'm afraid the current Jingyang City is already in ruins."

What Wang Jian said was not wrong at all. In fact, Jingyang City had already fallen three days before Wang Jian received the information.

Although Li Mu's troops are all cavalry, in the face of the powerful Zhentianlei, the walls of Jingyang City, which have not been expanded or repaired on a large scale for 200 years, have little room to resist.

There was a bang, and then the cavalry entered the city, and Jingyang fell.
