Chapter 34: Horse Racing in the City (Part 2)

"Wubao? What are the tiger, wolf, and Qin people doing?"

"Are the tiger and wolf Qin people stupid?"

Looking at the Qin army rushing towards him quickly with landblocks, the Zhao soldiers on the city were confused. They all opened their eyes wide and looked puzzled.

Not only ordinary soldiers were puzzled, but even the general Xinlingjun was puzzled. His eyes were wide open, staring at the Qin army with a confused look on his face.

Hou Ying, Mao Gong, Xue Gong and Zhu Hai were also puzzled.

"Why do the tiger, wolf, Qin people use earthblocks? Do the tiger, wolf, Qin people think that they can capture Handan with earthblocks?" Zhu Hai, who was upright, had his eyes almost fell off and he asked loudly.

No one can explain this issue.

Just as they were confused, they saw that the Qin army soldiers carrying the earthen buns had already rushed to the city wall, threw the earthen buns under the city wall, turned around, and rushed back to the Qin army camp quickly.

One by one, the Qin soldiers rushed under the city wall and threw away the earthen buns. In just a short while, the boss piled up a pile of earthen buns.

The Qin soldiers had no gaps. In just a short while, a ramp about ten feet wide and two feet high appeared under the city wall.

"Not good!" Mao Gong suddenly exclaimed with horror on his face.

"What's wrong with it?" Xinling Jun obviously hadn't reacted yet, and was quite unhappy.

The Qin army did not concentrate its troops to attack the city, did these useless things, carried the earthbow and threw it under the city wall. This is a great thing. What's wrong with it?

"Hurry up, attack these Qin troops, and you can't let them throw away the earthblocks anymore." Xue Gong also reacted, with a look of fear on his face, reminding Xinling Jun: "The Qin army is going to fill out a ramp, and the Qin army is going to attack the city from here."

"Fill out the ramp?" Xinlingjun was not a stupid person either. As soon as he was reminded, he immediately woke up, his face changed drastically, and he looked frightened.

The Qin army's offensive was already fierce enough. If he filled a ramp for the Qin army, the Qin army would be like a tiger and would be difficult to stop, so he could not be afraid.

"You must never let the Qin army fill the ramp again." Hou Ying also reacted and roared: "Hurry up, attack these Qin army."

There was no need for Hou Ying to urge him, Xinlingjun knew what to do. If he didn't know how to do it, he would become a pig. He waved his hand and said, "Go, mobilize a thousand archers to come over and shoot all these Qin troops."

Soon, the Zhao army's archers were transferred over, bent their bows and arrows, and the Qin army was carrying the earthbow, causing many casualties.

On the cloud car, Qin Yiren saw it and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Xinling Jun now understands it, but it's useless."

"Send orders, rush to archers and cover them." Wang Ling ordered decisively.

The flag in Wei Liao's hand was waving, it was very beautiful, and it was worthy of being the master of military tactics in the future.

The Qin army, who rushed to the city, got the order, threw away the opponent, and rushed towards the archer. The archer was not good at melee combat and was not an opponent of the Qin army. In just a short while, he was defeated, and the Qin army carrying the earthbows under the city were safe.

"Turn the archers again. Turn the archers again to cover them." Xinling Jun suddenly realized that he had made another mistake, that is, when he was frightened, he forgot to transfer the infantry to cover the archers, and had to make up for it.

Another team of archers was transferred here, and under the cover of infantrymen, they shot and killed the Qin army carrying the earth. The Qin army on the top of the city naturally had to attack the archers and fight with the infantrymen who covered the archers.

With the cover of these infantrymen, the safety of the archers has been greatly improved, and they can shoot and kill the Qin army carrying the earthblocks under the city with confidence.

"Transfer the order, give way to the infantry and shield to cover it." Wang Ling saw it and passed another order.

Teams of Qin troops carrying shields rushed out of the camp and came to the city wall, holding the shields high, and the shields overlapped one by one, forming a huge shield formation. The arrows shot from the top of the city were shot on the shields, and it was no longer difficult to shoot the Qin troops carrying the earthblocks.

With the shield, the Qin army carrying the earthblocks became much safer, and the landblocks were carried more. Soon, the ramp was already five feet high.

The city walls of Handan are only a few feet high. According to this progress, if the Qin army cannot stop the construction of the ramp, the Qin army will build an artificial ramp in just three or two days. At that time, the Qin army can rush up the city wall from the ramp and launch a more fierce attack on the Zhao army.

"We must find a way, we must find a way!" Xinling Jun's face was a little distorted, anxious and yelled in his heart.

He was originally from Wei, but he became the general of Zhao and participated in the battle between Qin and Zhao, which was against Qin. If Handan was captured, his life would be difficult to save. Not only would his life be difficult to save, but even his family and the lives of his disciples would be difficult to save. King Zhao of Qin would definitely kill him to serve as a warning to others, and he had to be afraid.

But what about this feeling? There is no other way except to sigh.

"Hurry up, order people to push down the stones and pour oil." Xinling Jun ordered loudly.

"It's useless." Mr. Mao and Mr. Xue knew very well that this method was not very useful, it was just better than nothing.

Sure enough, the huge rock fell down and the results were very little.

"Boom!" A huge rock the size of a millstone was smashed from the top of the city, several shields were smashed, and several Qin soldiers were killed and injured. However, the Qin army quickly blocked the gap again.

"Smash again!" Xinlingjun shouted in a deep voice with a blue face.

Another huge rock fell down, and a loud shout came from the Qin army: "Do away!" The Qin army's movements were quick, and a gap flashed out. The huge rock hit the earth bun directly, and it did not hit the Qin army at all, and it was just futile.

One by one, the Qin army either dodged away, making Xinlingjun's efforts futile; or the Qin army was hit and several people were injured.

In this way, the Qin soldiers carried the arrows on the top of the city, carried the earthblocks from huge rocks, and the ramps grew higher bit by bit.

As for the Zhao army's oil, it was not very useful. It was quickly covered up by the earthen bag and could not hurt the Qin army at all.

"Transfer orders, take turns to attack and restrain Zhao's army!" Wang Ling was very satisfied with the progress and passed on another general.

The best way to deal with the attacks other places was to restrain the Zhao army and prevent the Zhao army from attacking the ramp.

The Qin army received the order and launched a scattered offensive against Handan. The offensive was like a tide, one wave higher than another, suppressing the Zhao army.

This made Xinling Jun very anxious. An emergency news came one by one. He was in a hurry and was too poor to deal with it, and he could no longer care about the ramp here.

Once the pressure on the ramp is reduced, the speed of building the ramp will be faster. It will be nearly meter high in just a day.

As the height of the ramp increases, its length will naturally increase, and more land buns are needed, so the speed will naturally be slower. Despite this, the progress of the ramp is still smooth and developing towards expectations.

"The day we will attack the city is not far away!"

"Handan is about to be broken!"

"Zhao State is about to be destroyed by the Qin Dynasty!"

The Qin army was full of morale, with a rainbow of momentum, and a blood boiling. One point of strength became ten, and the offensive became even more fierce.

On the other hand, the morale of the Zhao army gradually declined. At this moment, as long as everyone understands the Qin army's plan, it is necessary to build a ramp to provide the greatest advantage for the Qin army to siege the city. If the Qin army's plan is realized, Handan will be difficult to protect and Handan cannot be kept, the Zhao State will be destroyed, and the morale of the Zhao army will not be lowered.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xinling Jun's heart sank and hurriedly gathered up the confidant friends such as Hou Ying, Mao Gong, Xue Gong and Zhu Hai to discuss.

"What do you think?" Xinling Jun looked frightened.

"If this continues, it is inevitable that Handan will be compromised. We must make plans early." Hou Ying said in contemplation.

"I want to report this matter to King Zhao and let King Zhao be prepared. Second, we must prepare to escape when Handan is destroyed." Mao Gong thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

"The King of Zhao treats me with a sincere heart and entrusts me to the generals above to tell the King of Zhao that it is right." Xinling Jun pondered: "But, how do we escape from Handan?"

It is not difficult to tell King Zhao. With just a few words, the difficulty lies in how to escape from Handan. You must know that Handan is surrounded by Qin army and it is not easy to escape. Xinling Jun is really blind.

"It is actually not difficult to escape." Xue Gong offered his advice and said, "In my observation, the Qin army's attack on Handan this time was not 400,000, at most twenty..."

"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Xinlingjun was a little disbelief.

"That's right, it's 200,000." Xue Gong said in a deep voice: "The Qin army built a camp of 400,000 troops. This is a bluff, and he will take the lead. Don't be fooled."

Wang Ling's bluffing was really a fool, and he was shocked by Xinling Jun. If Mr. Xue hadn't been smart, he would have been kept in the dark.

"If it's 200,000, it's much easier." Xinling Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where can the 200,000 troops be surrounded by Tangchi Jincheng like Handan? There must be some weak troops. We only need to concentrate our strength and rush out with a wave of impact." Xue Gong analyzed.

Handan is a heavy city that covers a large area. If you want to surround it, it is far from what a 200,000 army can do. At least 300,000, or 400,000.

In fact, as Mr. Xue expected, the Qin army implemented a key siege against Handan, which means deploying heavy troops in important areas. There were not many Qin troops in less important areas. If Xinling Jun concentrated his efforts to break through, the possibility would be very high.

If there is a possibility of escaping, Xinlingjun's fear is not so great. He calmed down and rushed to the palace of Zhao to meet King Zhao.

"Mr. Xinling, is there any good news?" As soon as he saw Mr. Xinling, King Zhao Xiaocheng came up and was impatient.

"Report to the king, Handan is about to be broken, please prepare early." However, Xinling Jun's words almost made King Zhao Xiaocheng leave his body.

"What? Handan is going to be broken?" King Zhao Xiaocheng screamed, shaking, and almost fell to the ground.

Since the Qin army besieged the city, this is what he is most worried about. Now, Xinling Jun personally told him that Handan was about to be defeated, and for him, it was like a thunderclap.

"The King, the Qin people are cunning and are building a ramp, which will be successful soon." Xinling Jun saw King Zhao Xiaocheng's fear in his eyes, feeling quite unbearable, and a little satisfied, muttering in his heart: "Since there are people who are more afraid than me."
