Li Mu smiled slightly, but did not answer.

This is of course the credit of the spies of the Nightingale system under Zhao Kuo's command.

Li Mu coughed, and pointed to a place on the map: "To tell you the truth, this time, helping Yiqu restore the country, our most important goal is here!"

"To win this war, the most important place is not with us."

This is what Zhao Kuo said to his three confidants, Xu Li, Li Si, and Han Fei.

When he said this, Zhao Kuo was in the camp of Zhao Jun outside Zhiyi City, watching the soldiers of Zhao Jun doing drills in front of him.

"kill!"

"volley!"

"Ride the horse and charge!"

"Drink!"

One after another, voices kept ringing in the school grounds, the atmosphere was full of heat, and the air smelled of sweat.

It has to be said that this Zhao army, most of which came from county soldiers, can indeed be regarded as the worst one Zhao Kuo has ever led in terms of combat effectiveness.

It's not that these county soldiers are not brave enough to fight, nor is it that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but that these county soldiers have great shortcomings in switching queues and cooperating with comrades and brother troops.

Fighting a war does not mean that one person can sweep thousands of troops. Such wars usually only exist in the fantasy world. The war in the real world depends on which of the two armies is more like a machine, and which side is composed of soldiers. The more orderly and difficult it is to collapse, the easier it is to win.

Machines need running-in, and running-in requires time and experience, but what this Zhao army lacks the most is time and experience.

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Li Si hurriedly said: "Excuse me, my lord, where is the most important place? Could it be in Xianyang City?"

Li Si didn't know Lu Buwei's real identity, but as Zhao Kuo's confidant, of course, he could vaguely sense that Zhao Kuo actually had certain news channels in the Qin political arena, so he made such a guess.

Zhao Kuo shook his head with a smile, and looked at Han Fei on the other side.

Han Fei thought for a while and said, "General Li Mu."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "That's right, it's General Li Mu.

Han Fei, this time you guessed what Ben Hou was thinking. "

Han Fei hurriedly handed over his hands and praised him as the king.

Looking at this scene, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and said: "Your Honor, General Li Mu only brought 1 Chi You troops, and they were all cavalry. How could they break through the city of the Qin people and win this victory for us?" Woolen cloth?"

Looking at the unconvinced Li Si, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Li Si, in fact, the people of Qin also think the same as you."

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and said, "Could it be that the minister's thinking is wrong?"

Zhao Kuo blinked and laughed.

"This Marquis will tell you this, this Marquis and the [-] Zhao soldiers in the Zhiyi camp are actually just bait to divert Qin's attention and attract Qin's army!"

Chapter 439 Wu Xinjun, that's it?

Meng Ao led the Qin army to come.

After receiving the support of 15 soldiers and horses, Meng Ao now has a total of [-] people under his command, and they are all the standing army of Qin State.

Although a large part of it is the standing army newly enlisted in the army in recent years, the combat effectiveness of the standing army must be stronger than that of Zhao Guojun in Hedong County.

Therefore, on the eighth day after Zhao Kuo arrived in Zhiyi, Meng Ao also led 15 Qin soldiers and horses to arrive in a mighty way.

Standing on the chariot, Meng Ao looked at Zhiyi in front of him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and slowly said to Wang Jian beside him: "This time, we want to avenge General Wang Yan!"

Wang Jian nodded his head heavily and said: "Please rest assured, General, I will definitely do my best to help General win this battle!"

Both are equally firm.

It is impossible to defeat the No. 1 general Wu Xinjun by relying on a fire of vengeance alone, so the two began to exchange information again.

"General Wang Jian, how many soldiers and horses are there in Zhiyi now?"

"It used to be about [-]. I heard that Wu Xinjun has been conscripting young and strong men to join the army in the past few days. Now there may be about [-]."

"Only seventy thousand?

Not even half of us, and they are all county soldiers. "

"Yeah, this time is our good chance."

Meng Ao pondered for a while, rubbed his chin and said, "General Wang Jian, I always feel that something is wrong."

Wang Jian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Meng Ao said: "If you only have this force, why should Lord Wu Xin come to fight us?

He has no hope of victory, whether in the field or in defense of the city. "

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Didn't our Great Qin attack Zhao State first?

Perhaps Wu Xinjun was just ordered to defend. "

Meng Ao was taken aback again, and it took a while before he laughed: "If this is really the case, then this time is really our best chance to defeat Wu Xinjun."

Wang Jian chuckled and said, "If we really defeated Wu Xinjun, then we have to thank Wu Xiangjun Lianpo.

If it weren't for Lord Wu Xiang's great defeat these years, how could Lord Wu Xin be reduced to the point where he has no soldiers to use? "

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their expressions seemed a lot more relaxed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Qin army camped around Zhiyi.

After Zhao Kuo got the news, he was not very nervous, but asked a few questions to his confidants around him.

"Are there enough rations?"

Xu Li hurriedly replied: "The city has already stockpiled enough food and grass to last for more than three months."

Zhao Kuo asked again: "How are you doing with the hard walls and clear fields?"

Li Si replied: "All the villages within a radius of a hundred miles have been evacuated, all the wheat in all the fields has been cut, all the stored grain has been taken away and hidden, and the people of Qin will never get any grain."

Zhao Kuo continued to ask: "How is the containment of the people going?"

Han Fei replied: "All the people within a hundred, a hundred miles have entered the nearby city."

Zhao Kuo asked again: "The reinforcements from Wuyuan and Jiuyuan counties should have rushed over, right?"

Xu Li replied: "They turned their heads from Wuyang City, and now they have just entered Shangdang County, and it should take about ten days or even later to arrive."

Zhao Kuo nodded, showing a slight smile, and said to the three confidantes beside him: "Look, isn't everything ready now?

Everyone in this world thinks that the Marquis can only play offensively, so this time, let them take a good look at the Marquis' defensive skills. "

The next day, the Qin army began to move out of the camp, and formed an array outside Zhiyi City, posing a posture of attacking the city.

Meng Ao stood on the chariot, watched for a long time before he came to a conclusion: "It seems that Wu Xinjun really does not intend to go out of the city to fight with us."

Wang Jian also nodded, his face became much more relaxed.

It may sound a bit outrageous, but in terms of the current military strength comparison, how can Zhao Jun, who only has 7 people and the main force is still county soldiers, fight against the 15 Qin Army, which is basically a standing army?

But Meng Ao and Wang Jian really believed in this.

Because that is Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!Meng Ao glanced at Wang Jian and said, "General Wang Jian, do you think we should attack the city now?"

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general thinks it's time to attack the city."

Meng Ao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then pass on the order and start attacking the city!"

The rumbling drums began to sound, and the Qin army swarmed out amidst the drums, waving a black banner, and attacked Zhiyi City in front of them.

Since he had stayed on the east bank of the Yellow River for a long time, the Qin army came with a large number of siege equipment this time, and they could directly invest in the siege without waiting for the craftsmen to make it.

Meng Ao and Wang Jian watched the battlefield expectantly.

Since the Battle of Changping, this is the first time that the main force of the Qin army has attacked the city guarded by the main force of the Zhao army!After a while, both Wang Jian and Meng Ao's expressions became unsightly.

"Zhao Jun's long-range attack is too fierce!"

Wang Jian couldn't help but said.

In the sight of the two, the arrows fired by Zhao Jun's crossbow poured down like dense raindrops. The leather armor of the Qin Army's vanguard army was not enough to resist, and fell down densely like harvested wheat.

In just a short while, several waves of crossbow arrows came down, and the casualties of the Qin army rose rapidly.

Meng Ao squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Mr. Wu Xin seems to have come prepared. There are so many crossbows. Hey, maybe all the crossbows in the nearby counties have been mobilized here by him?"

Wang Jian took a deep breath and said seriously: "It's okay, these crossbows are not enough to decide the whole battle situation!"

Sure enough, after a while, the situation began to change.

Qin Jun began to gradually adapt to Zhao Jun's rhythm, and advanced to the city.

A cloud ladder was erected at the top of the city amidst the shouts of the Qin army. Many soldiers of the Qin army clung to the ladder like ants and began to attack the city.

The two sides started a close contact battle, and the killing sound shook the sky.

In the eyes of Meng Ao and Wang Jian, many soldiers of the Qin Army kept falling from the ladder, and the number of casualties continued to climb.

Regarding this, Meng Ao and Wang Jian were not worried at all, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Jian said: "If Wu Xinjun's hole cards are only these, then this battle seems to have a great chance of winning."

Meng Ao nodded and said: "Indeed.

But Wu Xinjun is telling the truth, I always feel that Wu Xinjun's strategy should be more than that. "

After all, Meng Ao has fought against Zhao Kuo many times, especially at the decision-making level, he has deeply experienced the power of Zhao Kuo's strategy.

Wang Jian was somewhat disapproving, and said: "The general is worrying too much, now Zhao Guo has only this little force, what can Lord Wu Xin do?

As long as we take down this city properly, breaking the myth of Wu Xinjun's invincibility is just around the corner! "

Chapter 440 The situation is very good, Daqin can win

Handan, the main hall of the palace city of Zhao State.

The court meeting is being held, and the atmosphere is somewhat dignified.

This time the court meeting was missing two people. Except for Zhao Kuo who was away from the battle, Lianpo, the great Sima Wuxiang who had just returned to Handan, did not appear.

The Empress Dowager's expression was not very good-looking, and she said, "What's the matter with the other princes?"

After all, there are seven vassal states in the Chinese world, so of course Zhao Guo hopes to attract more vassal states to join the war against Qin, so as to increase his chances of winning.

Mr. Pingyuan hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, judging from the urgent replies from the various envoys, the princes don't want to participate in the current battle. They just want to see a decisive battle between Da Zhao and Qin."

The Queen Mother snorted and said, "Look, old woman, they just want to wait for Da Zhao to fail, so that they can take advantage of the fire! Speaking of which, the Qin army has surrounded Zhiyi for five full days, and all the ministers have come to talk about what should be done." manage?"

Several ministers looked at each other, speechless for a while.

When the queen mother saw this, she became more and more annoyed immediately, and said coldly: "Didn't Lord Wu Xin say before that he wanted to recover the loss of Da Zhao in Yanqi from Qin?

Now trapped in Zhiyi, is this his confession to the old woman and Da Zhao? "

The hall became more and more quiet, and even a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard.

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiangru seemed to be watching the fire from the shore, and looked at Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun with obvious gloating in his eyes.

Isn't Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo your ally?

This time, the two of you may be in trouble.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Empress Dowager called the roll immediately: "Mr. Pingyuan, haven't you and Mr. Wu Xin been advancing and retreating together?

This time you come to tell the old woman and see what he thinks! "

Sweat dripped from Mr. Pingyuan's forehead, and he said: "To tell you the truth, although the old minister does have some contact with Mr. Wu Xin, what exactly Mr. Wu Xin planned is a military secret, and it is impossible to write a letter from thousands of miles away. Tell the old minister."

The queen mother was very upset, and said: "Mr. Wu Xin came back from the memorial, and said that being besieged was something he expected, so the old woman need not worry, the battle will naturally turn around after a while.

Hey, the old woman wants to see how he will reverse the situation! "

Xianyang, Prince Qin's Mansion.

Ying Zichu said to Lu Buwei beamingly, "Mr. Lu, I will be a father again soon!"

Lu Buwei was taken aback: "Ms. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao Ji?"

Ying Zichu laughed and said, "That's right, the doctor just checked the pulse and said it's really happy!"

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, his face was complicated, but it immediately turned into a sincere smile: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, if you can give birth to a grandson, the prince's position will definitely be more stable!"
