Chapter 303 Famous General Bai Qi
The sun rose, and the first 30,000 infantrymen began to flood the wilderness north of Fushi like a tide. He carried the ladder and stood behind the ready-to-run Poxijun, preparing to launch a decisive attack on Fushi.
The enemy of Fushi had already been waiting for the battle and made sufficient preparations. He received the order from the King of Qin to hold on for at least two months to gain opportunities for the army advancing north, and then attacked Zhao Xing internally and externally, and destroyed Zhao Xing, at the lowest possible extent.
This is a perfect plan. According to normal principles, with 30,000 tigers and wolves, the goal can be achieved with the strong city.
In this era, in principle, if the soldiers guarding the city do not surrender, the only reasons for the defenders' failure are only two, one is death from battle and the other is starving to death, and the city can fall.
The preface to death in battle is that the enemy is at least ten times more expensive. Starving death is a long-term siege, and there are no reinforcements outside the defenders.
But these two types do not exist in front of the Qin army of Fushi. One is the Tang army attacking outside, which is only three times that of itself. The second is that the food and supplies reserves in his city can last at least one year. Outside, the king's army of 200,000 is heading north at night, so Fushi cannot be lost.
For this reason, the guard general wrote a letter to the King of Qin, asking him not to advance too quickly and make the soldiers tired. He would definitely defend the support and give the enemy huge damage.
Looking at the city of Fushi who was treating the enemy strictly, Zhao Xing asked: "Have you found out clearly? Who is the Qin General who is guarding Fushi?"
After Wei Yong flipped the information, he replied: "The young general of Qin, the commander Bai Qi."
Zhao Xing pinched his chin, squinted his eyes and repeated as if nothing had happened: "It's Bai Qi." Then he almost jumped up from the war horse: "Who is it?"
"It is reported that the Bai family of Qin, whose name is Qi, is from Meiyi. They are the posthumous sons of Shang Yang and Bai Xue."
Bai Qi was the son of Shang Yang, which was unanimously recognized by the later generations of the Party? Shang Yang was broken up by the cart? The three clans were destroyed, but Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin could not bear to have Shang Yang, whom he valued, lost his sacrifice. He would enter the palace and give his mother the surname Bai. So he was called Bai Qi. This is consistent with the fact that Bai Qi had acquainted with Empress Dowager Xuan in history books.
According to the textual research party, he said that he was a folk genius, which was simply impossible. Talents? In fact, they were born to occupy a small part of them. The main thing is that they still need acquired training.
In this era, knowledge and education are actually firmly grasped in the aristocratic and scholarly class. A child from a commoner would never receive such education? Because they do not have the qualifications.
Military education is even more fearful for the country and is absolutely not passed down, otherwise there would always be a family of generals in history.
Of course, Confucius also received education for common people. But have you seen Confucius' wise men and 72 wise men and 3,000 disciples? Have you ever come out of a military strategist? Not to mention a military strategist, there is not even an outstanding military talent? This is the reason.
Bai Qi can receive systematic military training, only by a public clan or a general.
Let’s look at him quickly from the sergeant commander? When he arrived at King Zhao of Qin? That is, six years later, he achieved the position of Zuo Shucheng, the top leader of Qin’s army. The rapid improvement was incomparable to ordinary people. On the one hand, if no one was promoted with his collar, it would be absolutely impossible to receive titles with the Qin army’s strict military merit system.
As for some disagreements in the debate, let's keep it alive. Because history, especially pre-Qin history, many things were originally specious, damn ancient Chinese and damn Spring and Autumn styles.
Looking at the figure of a young general running around on the top of the city, Zhao Xing felt a lot of pressure. He felt that it was not the strong city, not the 30,000 Qin army tigers and wolves, but the young figure.
God of War, although it is not yet, it will be so sooner or later, and its ability is absolutely unsightly.
Facing the Jun Shang who suddenly became frustrated, others could not feel Zhao Xing's subtle emotional changes, but the careful Wei Yong could clearly feel it.
So he whispered to cheer up his lord: "He is just a young man under ten or twenty years old. What are you worried about in front of the wise and wise man who also serves as a charlatan?"
Zhao Xing suddenly remembered, yes, he is a time traveler. Time traveler wants to defeat famous generals in the world. What's wrong with the God of War? I'm afraid that what he will do, and beat him, especially such a famous general who has a little brat, must fight.
So, Wei Yong felt the overwhelming confidence of Zhao Xing, the king, return to his chest.
"Lin Hu."
Lin Hu immediately ran to Zhao Xing: "Are Po Xijun ready?"
"Everything is ready, just wait for the order from the Lord."
"Okay, now I'll order to splash Xijun and immediately launch a cover attack on the enemy in the city." Zhao Xing gave a decisive order, and then looked at the young general in the city: "Bai Qi, right? I don't care who your son is, I don't care about the research party or how the scoundrel party argues, I'm really starting to beat you." Then I called the historian: "Now, don't use the Spring and Autumn style, just give me a real note. In the summer of 309 BC, Zhao Xing, the Tang Dynasty, beat Bai Qi."
Such detailed records were firmly abandoned by later historians because of a few words in 309 BC - fake books, absolutely fake books. The reason why it is so affirmed is that real historians do not admit that there is such a time travel.
The attack of Lin Hu's Poxi Army began. The Qin army, which was so powerful that it was invincible in the world, experienced the attack of this Tang Dynasty and a new powerful country for the first time.
With the skillful operation of the Qiqian Paixi Army, the whirlwind running between the camel hump peak, and with the density of a stone flying out of each breath, like a heavy machine gun in later generations, a stone like a locust was thrown on the top of the city. Especially after Zhao Xing reformed the formation, the three thousand camels were fired in three stages, and it was truly as continuous as a storm, and the Qin army on the city could not raise its head at all.
The bronze shields in their hands broke down in a blink of an eye under such a continuous blow, and screams followed.
The stones with fists were not killed, but they were killed countless times. Before they could see the real siege Tang army, half of the 10,000 soldiers who were rarely equipped with helmets were injured.
Even Bai Qi was hit. If he hadn't been protected by his helmet, he would have been bleeding.
Seeing that the soldiers who had almost no helmet protection were beaten so embarrassed, Bai Qi calmly ordered: "Get the big shield."
The Qin army's shields were divided into two types, one was a lightweight combat shield with a bronze shield, and the other was a large shield that hit the enemy when pushing forward when the square formation hit the enemy and blocked the enemy's swords, guns, bows and arrows. The large shield was made of wood covered with cowhide and was extremely tough.
With a command, Chengxia immediately sent such a large shield continuously, and in a blink of an eye, a thick lid was added to the entire city. The stones of the Xijun immediately lost the function of attacking the enemy, but in return there were dense sounds on the city, like hail slamming on the roof.
Bai Qi smiled confidently at the corner of his young mouth.
Seeing this situation, Lin Hu immediately fell 500 camels carrying catapults. With his order, five hundred precious sulphur bombs roared over the city. The pottery jars filled with sulphurs and smashed onto the giant shield, shattered, and sulphurs containing honey as adhesives covered with cowhide shields.
And those giant crossbows shot a row of rockets again at the top of the city.
The harsh turret encountered fire, and a loud bang burned violently.
Cowhide can resist swords, but it is the best ignition material for fire. The turbid oil attached to the cowhide of the big shield burns the cowhide of the cowhide in a blink of an eye, turning the entire city into a sea of fire, as if the entire city wall was burning.
Zhao Xing looked at the burning city and couldn't help but feel regretful: "The technology of refining edible oil into hot tinder is already difficult for those Mohist children. The nobles were reluctant to eat honey, which made me unable to equip these tinder bombs too much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to launch a sea of people attacks. As long as I keep burning like this, the city would be burned and melted."
Wei Yong deeply felt that on this point. As the Minister of State, he controlled the military affairs of the entire Tang Dynasty, including the direction of military expenditure.
He knew that the entire price of this seemingly simple turbulent bomb was 500 yuan per one, which was more than a hu of grain.
So he couldn't help but sigh: "War is really a burning money." Then he looked at the city wall like a sea of fire and suggested: "We can let our ladder infantry attack the city."
In the eyes of Wei Yong, an ancient person, human life was much cheaper than a hu of food.
