Chapter 134 What did Qin Shi Huang look like? Who says I have no clothes?
"That's right."
"If we want to capture Handan, we still need to rely on the strengths of our Great Qin."
"In addition to the advantage of arrows, we also have the national strength of our Great Qin to compete with the State of Zhao."
"Moreover, our Great Qin still has troops to be mobilized, and the Hangu camp can still send troops to provide support, but the Zhao State no longer has a large army to mobilize." Wang Ben said in a deep voice.
He is the same as Yang Duanhe.
There was not much hope of capturing Handan City at this moment.
Regarding Zhao Feng’s request.
In his opinion, these were unnecessary casualties.
Because Pang Nuan had learned the lesson of Wu'an City, setting up this supervisory army would inevitably be a fight to the death. It would not be so easy to attack the Zhao army's defense line with the defeated army again.
Zhao Feng did not respond to the two people's advice, but looked at Wang Jian with sharp eyes.
Since Yang Duan and the others did not compete for this military achievement, Zhao Feng would fight for it to the end.
Zhao Feng possesses the strength to easily break down the city gate, and with the added strength of twice the elite soldiers under his command, Zhao Feng is very confident.
Perhaps this battle will be extremely brutal and countless warriors will die, but this is inevitable.
Even if Zhao Feng had not led the troops, countless elite soldiers would have died in the Battle of Handan, or even more. On the contrary, as long as Zhao Feng broke the city, the casualties of the elite soldiers would be much reduced.
One general's success is the result of thousands of sacrifices!
Growing up to now.
Zhao Feng has a sense of comradeship towards his brave soldiers, but his determination to conquer remains unchanged, as there can be no war without death.
If this chaotic world is not calmed down, the war will continue.
"Zhao Feng."
"Please sit down first."
Wang Jian waved his hand and did not agree to Zhao Feng.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng also nodded and sat down.
"Let's not talk about the matter of Handan for now, let's talk about your business." Wang Jian stared at Zhao Feng and spoke slowly.
"What can this humble general do for you?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.
"You always rush to the front in every attack, leading by example. Before you became the deputy general, I didn't bother to say anything. But after you became the deputy general, and now you are the main general, why haven't you changed your temper?"
"I gave you my hand after you defeated Lian Po last time."
"As a general, your own safety depends on the entire army under your command. The responsibility of a commander is to command, not to charge into battle like a fierce general."
"But this time when we attacked Wu'an, you fell into your old habit again and charged into battle at the head of the enemy."
"Tell me, do you want to live anymore, or what?" Wang Jian said with a stern face and anger.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "I'll pay attention next time."
"You pay attention to shit."
"You agree to it now, but when the war starts you rush to the front again."
"You are a general, not a pawn."
"The Qin army has more than a million soldiers ready to fight, but only less than ten commanders."
"If you really fight to the death in the chaos, your army will be defeated. Don't you know that?" Wang Jian shouted angrily.
Obviously.
This time Wang Jian was really angry.
It was not only because Zhao Feng was a general under him, but also because Zhao Feng was his son-in-law.
It makes sense and reasonable.
Wang Jian deserves to be reprimanded.
Emotionally, it was because Zhao Feng was his son-in-law; logically, Zhao Feng was the most promising general in the Qin Dynasty.
If Zhao Feng really died in the chaos, it would definitely be a loss for the Qin Dynasty.
Faced with Wang Jian's angry rebuke, Zhao Feng was not angry, but felt touched in his heart.
After all, one can clearly hear the concern of the military man Wang Jian.
"Please rest assured, General."
"I am not married yet, and I have children at home, so I will definitely not die."
"The reason why I lead the troops is because this is my tactic to inspire the whole army."
"That's right. The army led by me is invincible." Zhao Feng stood up and replied with a serious face.
Since Wang Jian said so.
Then Zhao Feng didn't say anything about not leading the troops to charge. After all, fighting in the battlefield and killing the enemy was a key part of his becoming stronger, and he would not let it go. Moreover, without him, others would not be able to break through the city gate.
At least for now, Zhao Feng will not change this set of tactics.
"Now that you know that you are not married yet and that you already have children, why do you still take such a risk?" Wang Jian frowned.
"General, please trust me."
"I value my life very much and will definitely not seek death." Zhao Feng bowed to Wang Jian.
This attitude also shows Zhao Feng's intention.
Wang Jian stared at Zhao Feng and did not speak for a long time.
After a while.
"That's all."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
"Don't ask me to collect your body then." Wang Jian replied angrily.
It seemed that he was also angry with Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng smiled and stood up straight: "Please rest assured, General, I will not die outside, and I will not let the elders send their children to their graves."
"Hmph." Wang Jian snorted coldly, too lazy to say anything more.
"General, let's continue the discussion."
Wang Ben smiled and changed the subject.
However, Wang Ben still admired his brother-in-law for daring to talk back to his father.
Because he had never dared to talk back to Wang Jian since he was a child, and he was terribly afraid of this father.
perhaps!
This is also the family education of the generals.
Perhaps many people in the society think that the rich and powerful are so domineering.
However, the children of truly capable families are mostly talented. If they are arrogant and domineering, it can only be said that they are not truly capable families, but rather have incompetent family education.
A truly capable and visionary family will focus on the cultivation of future generations, just like the royal family.
Wang Jian slowly stood up and walked to the map that had been arranged in the tent.
Wang Jian's gaze slightly focused on the location of Handan City.
"Although Pang Nuan suffered more than 100,000 casualties in Wu'an City, he still brought back a lot of Zhao troops."
"now."
"I estimate that the number of Zhao troops in Handan City should be more than 300,000, plus Zhao's 100,000 border troops."
"If I were to deploy the defense."
"The cavalry of the border army will all be stationed on the east side of Handan, waiting for our Great Qin to attack. Pang Nuan will send cavalry to raid. The Hu clothing and horse archery are unparalleled in the world, which means slaughter for our Great Qin infantry."
"If we want to deal with cavalry, we can only use spears and bows and arrows. We can use the power of Qin arrows to deal with Zhao cavalry. When we get close, we can use the power of spears to deal with them. Spears can defeat cavalry."
"So before attacking the city, we must prepare a large army to deal with these tens of thousands of cavalry." Wang Jian said slowly.
"We can mobilize 30,000 archers and 20,000 spearmen to deal with these Zhao cavalry." Wang Ben said.
"Now the total strength of our army is less than 250,000. If we mobilize 50,000 to defend against these cavalry, we only have 200,000 troops to attack the city. There is still some disparity in strength." Yang Duanhe said.
"How many intact catapults and crossbows does our army have now?" Wang Jian asked again.
The deputy general in charge of the ordnance stood up immediately and said, "Reporting to the general, the army has only about 300 catapults left, and there are more crossbows, about 500 left."
"From today on, we will focus on collecting boulders."
"Make sure these 300 catapults can continuously bombard Handan." Wang Jian gave the order immediately.
"I understand." The deputy general responded immediately.
"How many arrows are left in the army?" Wang Jian asked again.
"After the army picked up and reassembled the arrows, there were millions of them."
"And the logistics troops from the rear are still arriving in an endless stream."
"Once all are transported here, we will have 1.5 million arrows." Wang Ben replied.
The arrows of Daqin were different from those of other countries. In terms of arrow making, Daqin had technology that surpassed other countries.
The arrowhead, arrow body, and even the feathers are all separate.
Whichever one is damaged can be replaced by the logistics army.
The same is true for bows and crossbows.
No other country can compare to this.
"How long will it take to transport all of them?" Wang Jian asked.
"Within five days." Wang Ben replied.
"Ship it here within three days, no delay." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"I will supervise it personally." Wang Ben replied immediately.
"General, are you planning to attack in three days?" Yang Duanhe asked respectfully.
Wang Jian glanced at Yang Duanhe and did not reply: "Select 50,000 elite soldiers from the army to stop the Zhao border cavalry. Which general is willing to take on this task?"
"I am willing."
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe requested at the same time.
Although this military achievement cannot be compared to the merit of breaking the city, it is still considered an achievement.
Facing the vanguard attack on Handan City, Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe obviously did not seem to be that confident. They remembered clearly the incident in which a general named Wang of the Qin Dynasty committed suicide in Handan City, resulting in the loss of 200,000 soldiers.
This really puts a lot of pressure on them.
Looking at the two generals asking for orders, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Jian's eyes.
only.
He understood what happened back then and did not force anything.
The two did not fight, so Zhao Feng naturally refused to give in. He immediately stood up and loudly asked for the order: "I would like to fight as the vanguard."
Zhao Feng stood up again. Wang Ben and the others were not surprised, but there was still some persuasion in their eyes.
"Admiral."
"I think we can ask the king to dispatch the Hangu camp to reinforce us."
"After all... the walls of Handan City are high and thick, and it is definitely not that easy to break through." Wang Ben still spoke.
"That's enough."
Wang Jian waved his hand, his eyes showing a firm look: "Although the Zhao army is large, most of them are defeated and retreating soldiers, and their morale is low. Although our Great Qin has fewer troops than the Zhao army, its morale is high and we will win every battle."
"The brave soldiers of the Qin army have fought their way here, and the morale of the Zhao army has already been crushed by our army."
"Now it is my Great Qin that has attacked the capital of Zhao. The Zhao army is under greater pressure than our army."
"Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe."
"I will be very disappointed in you."
"It's been so many years since what happened, yet you're still afraid."
"original."
"I think you can ask to be the vanguard, but you are not even as brave as Zhao Feng."
Wang Jian said with a harsh tone.
"General, calm down."
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe bowed immediately, with a look of panic on their faces.
"I have some news for you."
"The king has already set out from Xianyang to Handan."
"Within twenty days, the king's carriage may arrive in front of Handan city." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
Hearing this.
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe opened their eyes wide.
Zhao Feng, who was standing by, was also shocked: "Is Qin Shi Huang coming to Handan?"
"No, he should still be the King of Qin now."
"He is actually coming to Handan."
"Doesn't this mean that I will have a chance to meet the legendary Qin Shi Huang?"
Zhao Feng's mood was also very complicated at this moment.
Zhao Feng was naturally full of respect and curiosity for this man who was called the greatest emperor of all time and who created the unification of China.
Zhao Feng was very curious about what this emperor of all ages looked like.
Although he has the memories of his past life, his impression of Qin Shi Huang is just the memory on the Internet, nothing else.
"I wonder what Qin Shihuang was like. Is he as domineering as he is described in history?" Zhao Feng thought to himself.
And at this moment.
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe also felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.
The King of Qin is coming, which puts them under great pressure.
If we really cannot break the city, it would be a real sin.
"Admiral."
"Can we break the city before the king comes to Handan?" Yang Duanhe said nervously.
"You should know that the king was once a hostage in Zhao State, and this Handan City was the prison where the king was once trapped."
"The fact that the king has come here in person shows how much he values this city."
"This battle."
"I will personally supervise the battle, and the Lantian camp will do its utmost to capture Handan." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"I will be at your service at any time."
Generals Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe and Zhao Feng immediately bowed.
"Zhao Feng."
"Do you really want to be the vanguard?" Wang Jian looked at Zhao Feng.
"I invite you to fight!" Zhao Feng looked at Wang Jian firmly.
"good."
Wang Jian didn't say anything more.
"Three days later."
"The army attacks Handan."
"No retreat until it is broken."
"Zhao Feng led his elite soldiers as the vanguard."
"Wang Ben will command his elite soldiers to block the Zhao border cavalry. Yang Duanhe will lead his archers as the vanguard to suppress the enemy. The infantry will be the rear wing of the vanguard. Just wait for Zhao Feng to lead his army into the city, and then immediately follow Zhao Feng's army into the city." Wang Jian gave the order immediately.
"I obey your command." Zhao Feng replied loudly.
And at this time! Wang Ben gritted his teeth, a fearless look flashed across his face: "I request to serve as the vanguard with General Zhao to attack Handan."
As soon as these words fell.
There was a flash of surprise in Wang Jian's eyes, and also a hint of relief.
"Say it again?" Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"I would like to serve as the vanguard with General Zhao Feng and follow him to attack the city."
"In the past."
"I was once a general under General Wang He, and I personally witnessed the bloody battle of Handan."
"During that attack, I was no more than 20 years old. There were less than 500 people in the 10,000-general camp including me who evacuated."
"The general is right. A general of the Qin Dynasty should not be afraid. This time, I will work with General Zhao Feng to wash away the shame of the past."
"Capture Handan!" Wang Ben shouted.
Yang Duanhe looked at Wang Ben in shock, with admiration in his eyes.
Although he was ten years older than Wang Ben, he was not as good as him in character. He looked at Zhao Feng who looked fearless and sighed in his heart: "There are always outstanding people in the world, and I am not as good as them."
"Well said."
"Wang Ben."
"You didn't disappoint me."
"Face the past and face the present, and you will break the demonic barrier in your heart." Wang Jian smiled with relief.
"only……"
Wang Jian paused, his eyes showing determination: "The order has been issued. Your mission is to stop the Zhao border troops and prevent them from harassing our elite soldiers who are attacking the city. This is your important task."
After so many years in the Blue Sky Camp, Wang Ben naturally understood that his father was a man who would not take back an order once he had given it.
Read this.
Wang Ben could only bow and say, "I will obey your orders."
only.
After he faced his inner fear, he seemed to have been sublimated, and there was no fear of Handan in his eyes anymore.
perhaps.
This was also stimulated by Zhao Feng.
Nightfall!
The location of Zhao Feng’s military camp.
Two deputy generals and ten generals were all staying in the tent.
"Get the general's order."
"This time our army will be the vanguard and attack Handan."
"I won't say any more nonsense."
"Compared to attacking Wu'an City, this battle is much more difficult. Many people will die, including me." Zhao Feng stared at the generals in front of him and said in a deep voice.
Hear what Zhao Feng said.
Tu Sui, Zhang Han.
All the generals looked at Zhao Feng fearlessly, stood up, bowed and said, "We will follow you till death."
"good."
Zhao Feng nodded and looked at the generals: "If we win this battle, all of you generals will have made great contributions and will be rewarded by the king."
"But if something unexpected really happens, those who survive must take care of their families."
"If I were alive, I would never treat your families badly. If I were to die in battle, please do not forget to take care of my mother and sister." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words fell.
There was also a seriousness in the eyes of the generals, because since they followed Zhao Feng, they had never seen Zhao Feng so serious.
This shows how difficult this battle is.
But the generals still showed no fear.
Tu Sui said loudly: "The families of all the generals are my family. If I can survive this battle, I will not treat them badly."
Zhang Han also nodded heavily: "I think so too."
The generals nodded.
This battle!
It is more difficult than any battle Zhao Feng has fought along the way.
There were nearly 300,000 Zhao troops in Handan city, and all of them were supervised by the battle supervisors. Anyone who retreated would be executed.
Pang Nuan was in charge of the central army.
It is obviously impossible to replicate the situation in Wu'an City.
This battle will surely be a bloody one, even if the city gates are breached.
"Order from the general."
"Attack in three days."
"Generals, please take a good rest and leave your instructions."
"If the warriors have any requests, we will try our best to satisfy them."
Zhao Feng waved to the generals.
"promise."
All the generals bowed and retreated.
Inside the tent.
Only Zhao Feng was left sitting quietly.
"I still have more than 80,000 soldiers under my command. I don't know how many will be left after this battle."
"It is said that one general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers."
"I still can't bear it after all."
"But in this situation, even if I don't go, others will, and the casualties will be even greater."
Thinking of the bloody battle that would come in three days, Zhao Feng's heart was also filled with emotion.
Time flies! In front of Handan City!
The Qin army was already ready to go.
Wang Jian stood on the chariot at the forefront of the army.
Suddenly he turned around and faced the front, where were 200,000 elite Qin soldiers.
"Where are the elite Qin soldiers?" Wang Jian shouted in a powerful voice.
"Wind, wind, wind."
Two hundred thousand sharp warriors roared loudly, shaking the earth.
It turned into an endless murderous storm that swept across the entire Handan city.
The overwhelming morale and murderous intent overwhelmed the heaven and earth.
Under this overwhelming military might, the Zhao army on the city wall of Handan could not help but look shocked, and many of them were extremely nervous.
but.
When they saw the supervising army behind them, they did not dare to show it.
At this moment, all the Zhao troops in Handan City knew it! Anyone who deserts the battlefield will be beheaded! Anyone who leaves his post without permission will be beheaded! Anyone who affects morale will be killed! Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will be executed! The order has been given.
The supervisory army can be executed at any time.
The entire Zhao army in Handan city knew about it.
Moreover, during these days, many Zhao soldiers have been dealt with by the supervisory army, and Pang Nuan used the gesture of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys to intimidate the entire army.
And this has indeed achieved good results.
"Wang Jian."
"With my Pang Nuan here, you will never be able to capture Handan."
"In the past, the Qin general Wang He committed suicide in front of Handan City to commemorate his death. Lian Po was the general in that battle."
"But tonight, I, Pang Nuan, will also let you, Wang Jian, commit suicide in front of the city to commemorate the countless people of our Great Zhao."
On the city wall.
The Qin army did not attack at this moment, and Pang Nuan also went to the city wall in person.
now.
Pang Nuan stared at the Qin army in front of the city with coldness and murderous intent for revenge.
The defeat of Wuan City! Pang Nuan was filled with shame throughout his life.
Although this was a defensive battle, Pang Nuan wanted to make Qin pay the price by taking advantage of the defense.
Turn your gaze back.
"Daqin warriors."
"In front of you is the capital of Zhao. If you capture this capital, Zhao will cease to exist. Our Great Qin will have the foundation to unify the world. The wish of the Qin people for generations will be realized in your hands."
"Take down this city!"
"All the elite soldiers of our Lantian camp will be remembered in the history of Lantian. In the future, the Chinese world will take our Lantian as their pride."
When the voice paused.
Wang Jian drew the sword from his waist, turned around abruptly, pointed directly at Handan City, and shouted in a threatening voice: "Archers, listen to my orders."
"The Stone Throwing Army, Houying, listen to my orders."
"Chuangnu Army Houying, listen to your orders."
"attack!"
A sound under the word "attack".
The many military formations that had been lined up in front of the battle began to move.
Catapult.
Bed crossbow.
There were also thousands of archers advancing.
Needless to say, the Qin army launched an offensive and massacred the enemy with long-range bows and arrows.
When the battle begins, bows and arrows go first!
"kill!!"
In front of the army, the word "kill" shook the sky.
Accompanied by countless arrows pouring down towards Handan City, there were also slingshots and giant arrows shot from crossbows.
The murderous intent filled the sky like an overwhelming force, and the capital of Zhao State, which had not seen war for many years, was once again shrouded in murderous intent.
Arrows rained down.
Once they fall into the city, they will not distinguish between soldiers and civilians.
The soldiers are still in order.
The arrows broke through the rubble and fell into the houses in the city, killing many civilians.
The huge rocks crashed down, also causing countless casualties.
Countless cries were heard in the city, but they were drowned out by the sound of countless falling arrows. As long as the city was not broken, the arrows would continue to fall.
The archers continued to release arrows.
Countless arrows rained down, suppressing the Zhao army in the city and making them unable to deal with it.
Even though Pang Nuan had been prepared, he had no way to deal with the Qin arrows. Their arrows could not reach the Qin army formation at all.
So he could only strengthen the defense in front of the city and prepared many thick wooden boards in front of the city to resist arrows, which also played a considerable role.
Time passes and the rain of arrows continues!
Wang Jian was holding a sword on the chariot, and there was no emotion on his majestic face, as if this war was still very dull to him, as if this war was just an ordinary battle he had encountered before, rather than a battle to determine the country.
finally.
When time reaches a critical point.
Wang Jian looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.
Then, the sword pointed at Handan again: "Vanguard, attack!"
From around Wang Jian's chariot.
Hundreds of messengers immediately rushed towards the various military formations.
And in front of Wang Jian.
As the main general, Zhao Feng stood at the front of the army like an ordinary warrior.
as always.
He held the shield in his left hand and placed his right hand on the hilt of the Longquan sword, ready to draw the sword at any time.
Standing behind him were two deputy generals, Tu Sui and Zhang Han. At this moment, they were all waiting for orders from the general.
At this time!
The sound of war horses stampeding swept over.
"The general has given orders."
"Vanguard, attack!"
The messenger screamed loudly.
When the voice fell into Zhao Feng's ears, Zhao Feng's originally calm eyes immediately changed, releasing a murderous intent.
"Who says I have no clothes? I share my robes with you. When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and halberds, and share the same hatred with you!"
A word came out of Zhao Feng's mouth.
Hear the sound.
Tu Sui.
Zhang Han.
The personal guards and numerous elite warriors behind him all trembled, as if some kind of resonance was caused in their blood.
Follow closely.
Since Zhao Feng's death.
"Who says I have no clothes? I share my clothes with you! When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spears and halberds, and I will share your hatred!"
Each and every warrior sang in a solemn and dignified voice this military song which originated from the old Qin people and their character.
In this atmosphere.
Even the surrendered soldiers who had once come from the Kingdom of Han were deeply moved by the current elite warriors, and they followed their companions in shouting this song of military soul.
Who says I have no clothes?
I am your comrade!
Who says I have no clothes?
I will share the same pond with you!
Under the military song, the military spirit is ignited! A military song.
Everyone seemed to be infected and came together.
Wow!
Zhao Feng drew out the Longquan sword from his waist, and the sword rang in the air.
The blade was raised high.
"Brothers!"
"I, Zhao Feng, will always coexist with my brothers."
"Listen to my orders."
"Catch up with me and keep attacking me!"
"Even if I die, I will not retreat!"
…
