Chapter 18 The Qin Army Sieges the City (Part 2)

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The dull sound of flesh, accompanied by Zhao Jun's screams, shook the sky and the earth.

The scene when the crossbow arrow penetrates Zhao Jun's body is a wonder, which is extremely shocking.

The crossbow arrow shot from high speed pierced through Zhao Jun's body ruthlessly. Because the crossbow arrow was fast and strong, it penetrated Zhao Jun's body effortlessly, and blood didn't have time to fill the wound on the body. Often, a crossbow arrow flew away from the body, and the wound was still transparent, and you could see the light on the opposite side.

Suddenly, blood gushed out, filling the blood hole, and splashing everywhere, just like a fully opened fence, splashing far away.

If that's all, it's not surprising and there are even more shocking things.

The crossbow arrows were too strong, and many Zhao soldiers were taken to fly, screaming in the air, calling their parents, dancing with their hands and feet, just like dancing in space.

A crossbow arrow can take at least one or two people, and at most three or five people, flying in the flying, like human flesh skewers. How terrifying is this?

The crossbow and arrows fell all their might, and many soldiers piled up together, forming small mountains of corpses.

As the number of fallen Zhao troops increased, huge corpse mountains quickly formed, constantly shaking, which was the result of the corpse's vitality twitching.

After the first round of shooting, the originally dense city head was empty. If it weren't for the piles of corpses behind and the splatter of blood, the red city head proved that they had existed before, which would have made people mistakenly think that Zhao Jun would never exist at all.

"This is not war, it's purely massacre!" Qin Yiren looked at the sparse city, shocked and his face changed.

"Hey!" Wei Liao sighed and said, "Such an incompetent person is worthy of leading the army."

Huang Shigong shook his head, and he was no longer interested in commenting.

The Zhao army was massacred in this way because of Xinlingjun's fault and was caused by his mistake in handling it.

"A general is incompetent to exhaust thousands of troops!" As the prince of Qin, the more Zhao army dies, the happier Qin Yiren should be. However, Qin Yiren was in a heavy mood and only regrets.

It is true that the Zhao army is the enemy of the Qin army. The more they die, the better. However, they should not die so cowardly, but should die in the battle with the Qin army.

"What the young master said is very true. If a general is incompetent, he will exhaust his troops. You must be careful when choosing a general!" Huang Shigong shook his head, and agreed with Qin Yiren's comments.

"The King of Zhao has repeatedly chosen an incompetent general, and deserves to be exhausted in Zhao!" Wei Liao sighed with emotion.

During the Changping War, King Xiaocheng of Zhao misbelieves the rumors of Qin. He gave up Lian Po's military power and valued Zhao Kuo. Zhao State was defeated and defeated the troops, and the 500,000 elite troops were lost. Not long after this incident, he mistook Xinling Jun again, causing such a huge loss, which made people speechless.

Xinlingjun's face was pale as paper, without any blood, as if he had been buried in the soil. He had never been to the battlefield in his life, and he had no idea how difficult the battlefield was. Now he has not only been to the battlefield, but also faced the Qin army with the most powerful combat power in the world, which almost scared him out of his courage.

"I really regret it! If I had known this, why would I have received this military order?" Xinling Jun felt very regretful in his heart, regretting that he was greedy for military commands and became the general of Zhao State.

"Mr. Xinling, we have no way out." Zhu Hai reminded in a deep voice, like thunder roaring.

"Yes. We have no way out." Hou Ying, Mao Gong, and Xue Gong agreed.

If Xinling Jun had not become the general of Zhao, perhaps King Zhao of Qin would let him go for his reputation, although this possibility was not too high. Since he became the general of Zhao, he would never have a way out. Qin would never let him go. If he was defeated, he would definitely become a prisoner of Qin.

"Huhhhhhhhhhh!" Xinling Jun couldn't help taking a cool air and forced himself to calm down. However, the more he took a cool air, the more he felt the heat on his body, and soon he sweated like slurry.

"Send an order to let them come down and go to the city. Don't die on it!" Xinling Jun finally got to know that it was his mistake that ruined so many Zhao Jun's lives for no reason.

His handling was right, but it was too late and too late.

"Swish swish swish!" A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, weaving a huge net, and approaching the city hood.

The crossbow arrows were like poisonous snakes, covering the sky and the sun was covered with darkness, and the sun was shining. The city was dark and countless casualties were injured.

Crossbow formations are not "one-hammer business", but are shot one after another. Generally speaking, crossbow formations will be divided into three batches, one batch of shooting, one batch of preparation, and one batch of loading. Only in this way can they cause uninterrupted shooting to the enemy and cause the greatest damage to the enemy.

After the first round of Qin's shooting, the second round of shooting was followed, and the Zhao army would not give the chance to withdraw from the city. Therefore, although Xinlingjun's handling was against him, it was too late.

After shooting in the second round, the third round is the fourth round. After the third round, it will be the fourth round, repeating over and over without any gaps.

As the Qin army took turns to shoot, the Zhao army was carrying the crossbow arrows and braved the arrow rain. After a lot of turmoil, they finally retreated. However, the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, countless casualties, and the entire city was red, shining in the sunlight, and it was indescribable.

"It's really the second Zhao Kuo!" Huang Shigong shook his head, feeling very regretful.

Wei Liaoda agreed with this.

If Xinlingjun hadn't made any mistakes in handling the matter, Zhao Jun would not have paid such a high price.

"Xinling Jun is lucky than Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo has no chance to correct it, but he has a chance!" Qin Yiren smiled and commented again.

"That's right!" Huang Shigong agreed with this comment.

"Although people in the world are ridiculing Zhao Kuo, as far as I know, Bai Qi praised him." Wei Liao nodded and said something surprising.

"How do you say this?" Qin Yiren was very surprised.

What kind of person is Bai Qi? He is the God of War. Looking at the world, no one is his opponent. He has a very high vision. It is really unexpected that he praises Zhao Kuo.

This was exactly what Huang Shigong was asking, staring at Wei Liao.

"You know that my father is the Wei State's National Force, and he can know some news that people cannot know." Wei Liao smiled and explained to Qin Yiren, saying, "According to the news my father received, Bai Qi praised Zhao Kuo as a piece of beautiful jade, but there were no good craftsmen to carve it. If he could integrate military tactics in time, then Zhao Kuo would definitely become an invincible general. Looking at the world, it would be difficult to have an opponent. It was precisely because Bai Qi was concerned about Zhao Kuo that he mobilized powerful crossbows to form a crossbow formation and specifically shot Zhao Kuo."

Thinking about it, Zhao Kuo's view on military tactics is that even his father Zhao She cannot be defeated. Zhao She was the first famous general in the six countries in Shandong to defeat the Qin army. Moreover, when Lian Po thought that the Qin army was invincible, he was ordered to defeat the Qin army in a battle. His vision and insight were superb. Even Zhao She could not convince Zhao Kuo, which shows how great Zhao Kuo's view on military tactics was.

Furthermore, Zhao Kuo was trapped and put the Zhao army in a desperate situation. Logically, the Zhao army should have hated him to the core, and wanted to kill him and then quickly, but did not obey his orders. In fact, this was not the case at all. During the days when he was surrounded without food or drink for more than 40 days, the Zhao army still obeyed his orders. This alone shows Zhao Kuo's talent.

If someone else had changed, he would have been killed by Zhao Jun, who had long been in despair. How could he obey his orders?

However, Zhao Kuo lacked tempering. He was too young and had a strong spirit. He was at a high position and was in command of the three armies. He was a little blind and confident, so he fell into Bai Qi's plan.

It can be imagined that if Zhao Kuo escaped the disaster in the Changping War and survived, he would definitely learn from his mistakes. When his extraordinary vision and experience were combined, he would definitely become a famous general.

It was precisely because Bai Qi saw this that he wanted to kill Zhao Kuo at all costs. After some effort, he finally shot Zhao Kuo, which relieved Qin's great troubles.

"Not only Bai Qi praised Zhao Kuo, but also the Qin generals who participated in the war were like this. When they mentioned Zhao Kuo, they only had four words: Struggle and heroic spirit!" Wei Liao's next words were shocking, saying: "It is said that after Zhao Kuo's death, many Qin generals burst into tears, and they felt very sorry that such a talent died early."

During the more than forty days of being surrounded, Zhao Kuo not only could control the Zhao army, but also allowed the Zhao army to show strong combat power, causing huge damage to the Qin army and causing great casualties. This is a miracle that not everyone can do.

Zhao Kuo deserves the four words "Fierce and Heroes".

"Leninists know that Zhao Kuo can only talk about war on paper, but they don't know how good Zhao Kuo is!" Qin Yiren sighed in his heart.

Just as they sighed that the Qin army's offensive had changed at this moment.

"Raki fire bullets, let it go!" Wang Ling saw the scene at the head of Handan on the cloud car. He saw that there were not many Zhao troops on the head of the city, and it was useless to shoot the crossbow again. It was time to change to a powerful weapon for siege.

The commander sent the commander to spread the flag and sent the military order.

The Qin army sharp men put the pottery jar into the trench bucket, then ignited it with a torch, and the trench showed its might. A sharp roar sounded, and fireballs appeared in the air, drawing beautiful trajectories and smashed them towards the top of the city.

"Bang bang bang!" With the earth-shaking collision, the fireball hit the city, splashing everywhere, and a black liquid appeared, burning wherever it flowed. In just a matter of time, the entire city was filled with a sea of ​​fire and a blazing flame.

During the Warring States Period, oil was called "hard tinder oil", which was a special product of the Qin State, and none of the six Shandong countries did.

The oil production area in ancient China was in modern Yan'an, which was in the territory of Qin. Since it was discovered that oil could be burned and used to make a powerful weapon for siege, the Qin people packed the oil in pots, clicked it, and threw it into the enemy's formation with a catapult, creating chaos and burning the enemy.

The six Shandong countries have no oil. If they want to carry out similar attacks, they need to apply grease on the rocks and throw them into the enemy's formation with a catapult, creating chaos for the enemy and burning the enemy. Their efficiency is much worse than that of the Qin army's fierce turbulent oil.

The fierce fire bombs were thrown at the head of Handan City one after another. Not only was there a sea of ​​fire on the top of the city, but there was also a blazing fire behind the city wall, making it difficult for the Zhao army to have a foothold.
