"Very good!" Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction and asked, "By the way, Zhao Kuo, how is your ability to attack the city?"
"This ...... How do you say it?" Zhao Kuo showed hesitation and said, "If it is compared to the crown prince, it must be much inferior." "
"How do you compare it to other people?
Zhao Kuo pulled out his chest and said proudly: "As long as it is not Wu Anjun Baiqi, Kuo will not be left behind!"
Think about it too.
Zhao Kuo was already quite talented, and he was familiar with military books and war books. Later, he was besieged by Bai Qi's design for more than 20 days.
In the past 20 days, Zhao Kuo has not done anything else, just studying how to break through the city.
Both theory and rich practical experience!
Zhao Yan said: "In this case, this prince will give you a chance to lead the troops independently." You led 30,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 Yan prisoners of war as auxiliaries. Responsible for attacking Sanqiu, Fenmen, Quyi, Lexu, Spoon City, Wusui, Fangcheng, Tanuki, Liaocheng, Zhongyang, these ten cities. "
"No problem. "
These ten cities are all small cities, and the main force of the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed, Zhao Kuo certainly has full confidence.
Zhao Kuo asked with concern, "What about you, the prince?"
"This prince...... Zhao Yan looked into the distance and said: "The border of Yan and Zhao, a horse and a flat river." The prince will lead his white-robed army and 30,000 Yan soldiers to go around the city. Target: Wuyang City!"
"What, Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you really want to fight Wuyang City?" Zhao Kuo gasped and said worriedly: "That Wuyang City, it's really hard to fight!"
It's not just that it's not easy to fight, it's just hard to get to the sky.
Wuyang City, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the largest city of Yan Kingdom.
This city is 16 miles long from east to west, 10 miles wide from north to south, with a population of 200,000 and 50,000 troops, and it is actually the first military town of Yan State.
When necessary, it can mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city.
If it weren't for these words coming out of Zhao Yan's mouth, Zhao Kuo would never have felt that it was half a possibility!
But then again, Zhao Yan certainly has full confidence.
After getting the "Wu Mu Testament", he improved not only his ability in field warfare, but also his ability to attack the city.
The city of the Warring States Period, in the eyes of the current Zhao Yan, is simply ...... Vulnerable!
"Of course, we have to fight Wuyang City. Zhao Yan said nonchalantly: "This prince has already said to Gongsun Ru that if you want to take this Wuyang City, how can you break your word?
"Yes...... But ......"
"Okay, don't worry about Prince Ben, worry about yourself. Zhao Yan patted Zhao Kuo's shoulder lightly and said, "If this prince captures Wuyang City, your ten cities have not been captured, and your face will not look good......"
Since Zhao Kuo led the troops, he has been defeated twice. If you can't get an outstanding record, your position is in jeopardy!
Zhao Kuo was immediately diverted and said, "Don't worry, prince! The day you break Wuyang City, Kuo will definitely have broken ten cities!"
"I hope so!"
......
After resting in Wuyuan City for a day, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Yan divided their troops into two routes.
Zhao Kuo attacked Sanqiu, Fenmen, Quyi, Lexu, Spoon City, Wusui, Fangcheng, Tancheng, Liaocheng, and Zhongyang Ten Cities.
Zhao Yan took the white-robed army and 30,000 Yan Guo soldiers and went straight to Wuyang City.
......
......
Because of the large number of siege equipment, it was not until five days later that Zhao Yan's army crossed Yishui and went directly to the outside of Wuyang City.
The Yan army guard of Wuyang City is named Libelly.
If it is said that Yan Guo's consistent policy is to take advantage of Zhao's danger. That chestnut belly is the person who can implement this policy the most!
Three years ago, the defection of Fu Bao and others was his handiwork!
The 100,000 army of Yan attacked Zhao State, and he actively offered his words and suggestions!
Even, in historical records, after the Battle of Handan, Libei sent an envoy to Zhao as an envoy, and when he came back, he reported to King Yan: The young and middle-aged men of Zhao were almost killed in the Battle of Changping. Now, it is the time to take advantage of Zhao Guo's illness and ask for Zhao Guo's life.
King Yan was overjoyed, and immediately sent chestnut belly as a general to lead the army of Yan to attack Zhao. But stealing chickens does not become a handful of rice, and Lian Po wins more with less. The Yan army was defeated, the chestnut belly was beheaded, and the king of Yan was forced to cut five cities to sue for peace.
All in all, this chestnut belly has two major characteristics: taking advantage of people's danger and being rigid for self-use!
Now, seeing Zhao Yan leading the army to kill, the chestnut belly has already made a decision.
"You Zhao Yan can defeat Bai Qi, and you can be called invincible in the field.
and put the soldiers back, disturbing the hearts of our army.
If I see that you have few soldiers and go out of the city to fight, maybe you will really succeed.
However, with my wisdom, how can I give you this opportunity? Wuyang City is well defended, and I have an army of 100,000 in my hands, but I don't move, even if you Zhao Yan have a high ability, how can I endure it? Aren't you going to retreat obediently? Come on, Zhao Yan, let me chestnut my belly, become the one who defeated you, and become famous all over the world!
"
Therefore, Li Belly looked at the army under Zhao Yan, collected stones outside Wuyang City, and continued to manufacture a large number of siege equipment, and remained unmoved.
Three days later, a full 3,000 catapults surrounded Wuyang City, and the chestnut belly was still fearless.
Even in his opinion, Zhao Yan's purpose in building this stone cart was just to bluff and force him out of the city to fight.
In fact, these catapults, in terms of distance, could not even attack the city walls.
"Hahaha! Zhao Yanxiao'er, you are helpless, right? You have a thousand clever plans, this general has certain rules, I just don't go out of the city to fight, how can you play conspiracy, you...... It's a little tender!"
Standing on the wall of Wuyang, he was even happier when he saw that Zhao Jun had stopped building catapults, and he almost drank a good wine immediately.
However, at this very moment-
Knock knock!
With bursts of shocking drums, Zhao Jun dispatched!
Countless stones were placed on the catapult.
Ten men and five horses are in charge of a catapult, each in place, ready to launch.
"What? You Zhao Yan, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you really want to try the power of this catapult? It's really funny. "
Chestnut belly is even more disdainful.
But then—
Whew!
3,000 catapults, all at the same time!
Three thousand boulders of forty or fifty catties, carrying huge potential energy, like raindrops, roared and smashed into the city wall of Wuyang City!
Bang bang bang!
In just an instant, I don't know how many war sheds were smashed, and how many Yan army soldiers were smashed into meat paste without even knowing what happened!
I don't know how many battlements were smashed in an instant, and the Yan army behind the battlements was smashed to the point that the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, and even ten thousand peach blossoms bloomed.
At the four sharp corners of Wuyang City, within ten zhang, there was even more bloody rain, and no living creature could survive!
"Help, help!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Don't fight! Don't fight! Prince Zhao is really invincible! I ...... I surrender!
......
The Zhao army was stunned by only one round of stone rain, and the defenders of Yan State.
The morale of the Yan army completely collapsed!
The most important thing is that the prisoners of war released by Zhao Yan played a role, and they raised the white flag without hesitation!
"How...... How can this be? How can catapults be so powerful? This is not true! This is not true!"
Chestnut couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe what was in front of him!
However, this is indeed an unmistakable fact.
Can the catapult of the Warring States period be compared to the Yue Wumu era?
You don't need to build a particularly complicated catapult, just add a rope and a leather pocket to the lever of the catapult, and you can double the power and range of the catapult!
It's a genius invention!
Generally speaking, the longer the lever of the catapult, the faster and more powerful the projectile can be. However, increasing the length of the lever will bring problems such as self-weight and strength, which will not only waste more energy, but also may fall into a vicious circle - the lever is too slender, so it should be thickened, and it will be heavier after thickening, and the strength will not be enough.
With the addition of a leather bag and rope, this problem is solved. How much more power than doubled?
In Yue Wumu's time, many improvements were made to fortify the castle in order to guard against such powerful catapults.
For example, the war tents on the city wall for soldiers to rest are all removed—that is, catapults live targets!
For example, the elimination of the glyph-shaped battlements - that thing is vulnerable to catapults.
For example, all the corners of the wall were changed to an arc, and the right angle was eliminated - under the catapult, there could be no living people within a few dozen steps of the right angle of the city wall, and the enemy could use it to climb the city wall effortlessly.
Therefore, in Zhao Yan's eyes, the city in this era has too many weaknesses. It's like a castle on the beach, and it will fall down when you push it.
Therefore, he chose his goal in Wudu!
After all, after understanding the great power of catapults, the defenders were on guard, and the siege could not have been so smooth in the future.
It's a hammer deal.
If you want to play, play big!
"Rush!"
Zhao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed, more than 2,000 white-robed troops, and more than 3,000 Yan soldiers who volunteered. Rushed to the corner of the city wall and erected a ladder. There, on the city wall, there was no resistance from the boulders, and they only needed to help them get to the city.
"Someone! Resist! Resist!"
"Those who dare to surrender will be punished by the three clans!"
"We haven't been defeated yet! Our army still has an absolute advantage in numbers!"
"Cut off a head, and the bounty is three hundred taels!"
......
The chestnut belly is really regretful, and the field is green.
Knowing that Zhao Jun's catapult was so powerful, he had already asked for reinforcements. At the very least, he would never choose to defend Wuyang to the death, but to go out of the city to fight! At least in the field, he could lose clearly.
Of course, it's useless to regret it!
Now, he had no choice but to rise up and shout wildly, driving the soldiers forward.
However, where does Yan Jun dare to go now?
That's the white-robed army, the white-robed army that has no temper in the fight! No matter how powerful we are, can we have the White Tiger Army? What's more, there are huge boulders falling from the sky!
Even, a short sword silently plunged into the back of the chestnut's heart!
"Cut off the head?" A middle-aged man let out a sneer and said, "My son is in the siege team, whose head do you want to cut off?"
Immediately after, he drew his short sword and pulled it with a forceful stroke, cutting off his chestnut head!
The middle-aged man shouted: "Brothers, the prince of Zhao is invincible, everyone has surrendered! The prince is benevolent and righteous, and he will never treat people badly!"
......
......
In 260 B.C., on the ninth day of the ninth month, the prince of Zhao led the white-robed army and 30,000 soldiers to break through Wuyang City, the capital of Yan State.
At the same time, in Zhao Yan's mind, a system prompt sounded coming.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host, break through Wuyang City, the capital of Yan Kingdom, and get an achievement package!"
"Open!"
