Then, stones and arrows all over the sky flew towards Qin Jun like raindrops.

It was only 300 meters away. Zhao Jun's crossbows and trebuchets could not reach this range at all. Even their big bows had a range of only 200 meters.

Li Xin waved his hands blankly: "Go forward 100 meters, put on the crossbow, and teach them how to be human!"

Dozens of cavalry immediately got off their horses, carried the large crossbow parts pulled by the carriage behind them, and began to install them.

Zhao Jian on the tower, seeing that the Qin army was out of range and wasted a wave of arrows and stones, jumped up angrily and cursed at the soldiers.

But what is Qin Jun doing in front of the battle?

Zhao Jian looked suspiciously at what Qin Jun was installing 300 meters away!

Then those soldiers carried a large thing that looked like a crossbow and approached, and there were soldiers holding shields to defend.

Those cavalry even followed up.

Zhao Jian's eyes lit up, and he roared, "Wait until they get close before firing the crossbow arrows, and the catapult will hit me hard..."

"emission……"

Ten large crossbows of the Qin army fired at the same time.

Ten arrows as thick as rafters flew towards the tower.

boom!

Arrows were shot, some of them were pierced into the city wall, trembling with the tower, some arrows were shot into the building on the tower, the beam was directly destroyed, some were shot at a wall, and the wall was instantly hit Fei, along with the soldiers hiding behind the wall, were taken away.

For a moment, rocks flew across the city wall, and the soldiers ran around in shock.

"Dodge, dodge..."

"Get down, don't run..."

Zhao Jian was stunned, what the hell is this?

This simply overturned his understanding of bows and crossbows. Are bows and crossbows so powerful?

How to fight this?

"Tabuchet, throw stone bombs!"

"Bowmen, crossbowmen suppress!"

Zhao Jian roared angrily, his body was covered in mud.

The trebuchets showed their power, and the crossbowmen shot arrows down the city regardless of safety.

However, the Qin army had already reached the firing range, and thousands of bows and crossbows showed their power together, covering the city tower once.

Zhao Jun didn't succeed in shooting, but was picked up by Qin Jun.

The huge crossbow arrows were still firing, Zhao Jun was frightened and cried out.

Seeing that Zhao Jun was suppressed, Li Xin waved his hand immediately, and five hundred cavalry charged one by one and came to the bottom of the tower, as if they were attacking the city of Daijun.

Hundreds of soldiers threw black oil in clay pots, and the city was instantly engulfed in flames.

The city gate below the city tower was also pierced through several openings by a crossbow. Several soldiers stepped forward and poured black oil on it. A big fire burned the city gate immediately.

The city gate is broken.

Li Xin waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him galloped into the pass.

In an instant, he fought with Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jian saw that the gate of the pass was broken, and the cavalry of the Qin army rushed into the pass. He was about to burst into tears, and roared violently: "The city is still alive, but the city is destroyed and the people are dead. Brothers, kill the people of Qin..."

Zhao Jian drew out his long saber and charged towards the city, instantly knocking down a cavalryman and beheading him with one blow.

Just as he was going to kill another Qin army, he was shot through his right leg by an arrow.

Then the soldier rushed towards Zhao Jian frantically, shot another arrow, and the crossbow arrow shot into Zhao Jian's chest.

That Qin Bing's eyes were red, as if looking at Zhao Jian, he saw money and titles.

He beheaded Zhao Jian directly with a single knife, and held up Zhao Jian's head to show off his might, showing off his achievements.

……

Chapter 179 The Qin Army's supply of food and grass was burned, and Zhang He threatened Yan to borrow food

Half of the Zhao army was killed, and the other half surrendered directly, but now Li Xin couldn't take these prisoners away at all, and they stayed and became enemies again.

But Zhang He had an order not to kill prisoners. According to Zhang He's military order, killing prisoners was a serious crime. No matter whether they were from the Central Plains or foreign races, prisoners could not be killed.

Li Xin was in a dilemma for a long time, so he confiscated the weapons of these people and dispersed them.

When Zhang He's army arrived at Beiguan, Li Xin had already captured Beiguan, dispersed the descendants, and Zhang He's army left Beiguan.

It was already dark now, but Zhang He ordered the whole army to continue marching, capture Shanggukou before dawn, and go south tomorrow, taking advantage of Yan State's north-south Yishui, going straight to Wusui, capturing Wusui City, and waiting for Pang Nuan's army come.

When Pang Nuan's army is about to arrive, he can send troops to continue southward, detour to Quyang, attack Lingshou City behind Tian Dan, and cut off Tian Dan's rear supply line.

At that time, he and Meng Tian flanked Tian Dan's Jingxing Fortress from left to right, and Tian Dan was bound to lose.

The Qin army left the pass in a mighty manner and went straight to Shangtanikou.

When Pang Nuan arrived at Beiguan with a small number of thousands of cavalry, the Qin army had already gone north, leaving only more than 2000 bones of Zhao Jun in Beiguan, and the entire Beiguan city tower had been destroyed.

Pang Nuan stood on the pitch-black Beiguan City Tower, his eyes were red and his face was pitch black. This was the most humiliating battle in his life.

He was led by the nose by a yellow-mouthed child.

But looking at the power of the Qin army's crossbow, Pang Nuan had predicted that Shangtaniguchi would inevitably fall, and there was no need for support.

It's just a pity that Sun Bingzhuan, that kid is so handsome!It's really a pity to die in Shangtaniguchi.

"General, the body of General Zhao Jian has been found."

Pang Nuan felt a pain in his heart, Zhao Jian is a good kid, with some training, he will definitely be able to become a defender, but he is a little arrogant.

"Take the old man to have a look!"

The soldiers brought Pang Nuan to the headless corpse, and Pang Nuan roared angrily: "The Qin people are brutal!"

After a long time, Pang Nuan's eyes were wet, and he said slowly: "Let someone take you back to Handan and report to the queen mother and king. General Zhao Jian was extremely brave. He fought with the Qin army and died in battle. His body was shrouded in horse leather."

"Yes!"

"Zhang He..." Pang Nuan looked at the northeast where Qin Jun left, and roared through gritted teeth.

Turning around and going down the tower, he said to the pro-army beside him: "Command the troops from all sides to abandon the Laiyuan defense line, turn to Wusui direction, and attack the enemy's Qin army."

Pang Nuan led hundreds of thousands of troops and deployed them in Laiyuan area for several months.

He was going to fight the Qin army here, but he has been busy until now, but he didn't see a single Qin army. Instead, the Zhao army lost thousands of people.

Now we have to go to the direction of Wusui to intercept the Qin army. There is nothing in the direction of Wusui, even the food and grass are in the area around Quyang, and the Qin people are all cavalry. How to defend against this?

At this moment, Pang Nuan was in a state of confusion. Is he too good-for-nothing, or is Zhang He better?

But he knew that the morale of Zhao's army was bound to plummet. In this battle, even if Qin's army was stopped, the chances of victory were unlikely.

Hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops retreated from the direction of Laiyuan, and rushed from Puyinxing towards Wusui.

……

Before dawn, Zhang He's army arrived at Shanggukou.

What puzzled Zhang He was that the gate of the entrance of the upper valley was open, and there was not a single defender, it was quiet and pitch-black.

Zhang He's first feeling was: Empty city plan?

"What's going on here? Is there any deceit? Could it be that Pang Nuan ambushed a large number of Zhao Jun at the entrance of Shanggu, just waiting for me?" Li Xin swallowed and said worriedly.

Looking at Taniguchi on the dark ground, Zhang He became suspicious.

"Send out scouts and enter the pass to inspect..."

In the end, Zhang He issued an order to find out if there was an ambush. He was not Sima Yi, so he would be scared away by Zhuge Kongming.

As a result, the scouts entered Shangtaniguchi and inspected for a long time, but when it was dawn, there was no one there.

The scouts caught two local businessmen on foot, and only then did they learn that the Zhao people guarding Shanggukou had escaped last night, heading towards the country of Yan.

original.

Sun Bingzhuan, the main defender of Shangtaniguchi, had already received Pang Nuan's order. The main force of the Qin army went north to attack Shangtaniguchi.

He knew that guarding the mouth of the upper valley was self-defeating. The Qin army's [-] troops could drown his [-] defenders with saliva.

So Sun Bingzhuan disobeyed Pang Nuan's military order and gave up Shangtaniguchi, because there was no point in guarding Shangtaniguchi any longer.

He fled towards the territory of Yan State with five thousand defenders, and asked for help from Qing Qin who guarded the southern capital of Yan State. On the other hand, he also wanted to use Yan State's army to attack Qin's army.

He ran to Wuyang (the southern capital of Yan State at that time) on the north bank of Yishui in the north of Yan State in one breath, but was rejected by Qing Qin.

Standing on the tower, Qing Qin looked at the five thousand Zhao troops downstairs and snorted coldly in his heart.

The [-] troops of the Qin army came to attack, and Zhang He, he had heard of, was by no means a kind person, and he had a character of vindictiveness.

He was stupid to wading into this muddy water. What if Qin Guo was dissatisfied and Zhang He came to attack Wuyang, which he was guarding?

He also only has 5 horses in his hands, how can he be the opponent of the Qin people's [-] cavalry?

Once he helps Zhao Guo and brings great disaster to Yan Guo, the king of his family will kill him.

What's more, Zhao Guo and Yan Guo are feuds, and I hate Zhao Guo even more.

Just ten years ago, he was defeated and captured alive by Zhao Guo Li Mu, and Zhao Guo took Wusui and Fangcheng, the southern capitals of Yan Kingdom he was guarding. Li Mu's Zhao army arrived at the capital of Yan Kingdom, almost destroying Yan Kingdom.

Still want to come for help?

I didn't add insult to injury to you, that's all my kindness.

"Leave Yandi quickly, or this general will order you to be shot and killed."

"You and the people of Zhao and Qin, the tiger and wolf, are the same as raccoon dogs!"

Sun Bingzhuan didn't expect that General Qing Qin would refuse them to enter the city, and he was so angry that his nostrils were smoking.

In the end, he had no choice but to leave Wuyang with [-] soldiers and run in the direction of Wusui further south.

I hope to arrive at Wusui before the Qin people, defend Wusui City, and win opportunities for Pang Nuan's reinforcements.

After Zhang He and others settled in Shanggukou, they were supposed to supply food and grass here, but Sun Bingzhuan burned them all.

This made Zhang He very angry. The food and grass of the [-] troops were almost gone. Without food and grass, how could they fight?

Li Xin said angrily: "This Sun Bingzhuan, the damn thing, ran away, ran away as soon as he ran, and burned our food and grass."

Zhang He's face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "Now we can only borrow food from the Yan Kingdom."

Li Xin: "???"

The State of Yan will lend food to the State of Qin, and it will be fine if it doesn't hurt the State of Qin.

Zhang He said with a sneer: "Qing Qin is the general guarding the south of Yan State. How dare he accept Zhao State soldiers. Zhao State soldier Sun Bingzhuan is our great enemy. If we don't give him food and grass, we will attack Wuyang."

"Li Xin, you think that as a messenger, you lead the five hundred black armored troops to Wuyang, and borrow food from Qing Qin. If you don't borrow food and grass, just say what someone said, and the Qin army smashed the southern capital of Yan Kingdom in minutes. Let's not attack Zhao, but attack Yan."

Li Xin accepted the order with fists in his hands, and smiled excitedly: "The last general is going to threaten the general of Yan State, Qing Qin."

Zhang He said indifferently: "Bring the big crossbow and the continuous crossbow, and show Qing Qin, otherwise he may not believe our strength."

"Yes!"

At the same time, Zhang He issued a military order, and all the troops moved closer to the border of Yan State to cheer General Li Xin.

Chapter 180 Prince Dan Wants to Assassinate Zhang He through Negotiation

At noon, the sun was scorching like fire, and the surface of Yishui Lake shone with golden light.

After what happened last night in Wuyang City, martial law has already begun. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the city, and people in the city are not allowed to leave the city. The bridge over the moat outside the city has been hoisted high.

On the wide ground outside the city, horse-rejecting piles were placed.

There are hundreds of small catapults lined up on the tower, as well as some crossbows recently developed by the Mohists, with a range of 250 meters.

Qing Qin looked arrogantly, looked into the distance, and said with a sneer: "If Zhang He dares to attack Wuyang, let him drink his hatred in this Wuyang city."

After Qing Qin finished talking, hundreds of black iron cavalry rushed towards Wuyang City on the road far away, with smoke and dust billowing up behind them...
