Chapter 586: Men should tolerate each other; men should be even more cruel!!

"Who has the final say in the city?" Zhao Wujiu said hysterically: "No matter who it is, stand up and speak!"

"It's the last general." Bo Shang Saiyang still said honestly: "But I don't know anything, but I can't make a decision." As if I was afraid that Zhao Wujiu would not believe it, he asked the officers and soldiers around him in a rough voice, "Do you all listen to me?"

"If you don't listen, why are you listening?" The officers and soldiers laughed and said, "The lieutenant didn't ask you to act as the city guard, so it doesn't work if you say it."

When he learned that his uncle shrank his neck and spread his hands, Boshang Saiyang said in a whisper: "No one can help..."

"Come here, I'll start a lawsuit and ask for it!" Zhao Wujiu finally realized that he was fooled by the foolish young general.

Zhao Hu had long been unable to hold back. Hearing this, he pulled Emperor Zhaowu out and pressed him to the ground. He put the shiny big knife on the emperor's neck with his back hand.

Qin Lei sneered in his heart: 'What's the difference between you Zhao Wujiu and a gangster? If you can't tell me, just use a knife to scare people! But I don't want to use your trick!' Then he whispered a few instructions to Boshang, and Boshang Saiyang immediately shouted: "You don't have to scare me, there is no one in my family, I'll be a waste of life. Even if you cut off our Supreme Emperor, I will just be able to pay my life."

As he said that, he also pulled out his long sword, put it on his neck, his eyes widened like a copper bell, and he roared fiercely: "Cut it, I will exchange my life for you, see who else you threaten?" He usually cannot reason with rogue scoundrels, only he is more rogue than him!

This is why Qin Lei is inconvenient to come forward. He is the prince, the commander, and the son of Emperor Zhaowu. No matter which identity he has to accept Zhao Wujiu's threat... This is also the reason why Lao Zhao can deceive the Huzhu Pass.

But Boshang Saiyang is different. Anyway, Qi Jun only treats him as a fool, and he just acts like a tantrum and uses poison to fight against poison!

Boshang Saiyang's move hit Zhao Wujiu's weakness. He kept threatening Qin and said that he wanted to kill Emperor Zhaowu. He saw that no one dared to take responsibility, so he could succeed. But now a desperate boy jumped out and said, "I'll take it!" He really had no choice.

How could Zhao Wujiu be willing to let him die before he squeezed out the surplus value of Emperor Zhaowu?

Since you are willing to give up, it is just a bluff. Once the other party is not afraid, he can only retreat in a mess.

After saying a few words like "Don't negotiate with you, an unknown man." "You lieutenant is suitable for returning?", Zhao Wujiu gave Zhao Hu a color, and he flicked back into the formation in shame, thinking that nothing had happened...

The defenders on the city burst into laughter, and the tension caused by the overwhelming embarrassment of hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared suddenly.

Qin Lei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he expected that Zhao Wujiu would not kill Emperor Zhaowu, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid that if that old boy was angry and knocked the Supreme Emperor, the reputation of not saving him would really fall on himself.

How great this is, everyone will only say that the prince is strategic, and will not notice his cold-blooded side.

Taking a deep breath, the cold and dry feeling made his throat hurt. He clenched his fists hard, and Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Continue to strengthen the city defense. The more you prepare, the more you will hit!"

The literary ones are not good at martial ones, and the soft ones are not good at hard ones. This is the case in ancient and modern times.

Although he decided to come to the military, Zhao Wujiu was unwilling to attack. Due to his geographical location, the Tongguan city wall was built against the mountains and was extremely steep. Moreover, the mountains on both sides of the city wall were wall-shaped, making it difficult to invest too much force to launch an attack at one time, so the strength advantage would not be too obvious.

Therefore, Zhao Wujiu said to his generals: "Strate wisdom is the best, and he has to attack again."

The next morning, the mist had just dissipated and the white frost on the ground had not yet turned into dew. The Qi army drove away thousands of people in rags. The people seemed to be carrying baskets and other things, slowly approaching Tongguan City.

Qin Lei sat in the city gate tower wearing a cloak, looking at everything under the city through the window. Suddenly, "Yun Shang, go back first, you won't be allowed to go to the city these days."

The tomboy standing beside him said strangely: "Why?"

With a slight frowning, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "What have you promised me?"

"Oh, I know..." Yun Shang then pouted and walked downstairs slowly. She promised Qin Lei that she would definitely 'enforced orders' so that she could continue to follow the army. Qin Lei had something to say to her and would be repatriated immediately if she had a foul! Therefore, it was still very deterrent.

The Tongshui River flows through the front of the pass and flows into the Yellow River that flows through the north of the pass, forming a natural moat that is both deep and wide. If it were any season in spring, summer and autumn, it would be an almost insurmountable obstacle, but in a winter when water turns into ice, the entire river surface has completely frozen.

The turbulent Tongshui River turned into a large trench with a smooth bottom, which greatly reduced the difficulty for Qi Jun.

I saw the ragged people reaching the moat, and then unloading the bamboo basket on their backs and pouring the things into the ice... It turned out to be some sand, earth and stones, and the moat was to level it.

But Qin Lei could only treat it as if he hadn't seen it, because this evil move was basically unsolvable. If he shot and killed his own people in large quantities at the beginning, it would be a great harm to the newly-improved morale.

Fortunately, a frozen moat was not very important, so Qin Lei endured it... When Boshang Saiyang, Li Sihai and others came to ask for instructions on how to deal with the current situation, he had only four words of order: "Reinforce the city defense!"

So a very interesting scene appeared. The bricks and walls on the city and the roads on the back of the city were all busy and busy, making people think that they had arrived at a construction site and forgot that this was the battlefield where the two countries confronted each other.

Seeing the reaction in Tongguan City, Zhao Wujiu sighed lightly: "There are experts in the city... I said, how could a fool be so cunning?" As he said, Qin Zhen beside him, "What other famous generals in Qin State?" He thought most of them were locked up in Yangchanban, so he was quite curious about the one in the city.

Qin Zhen thought for a while before he hesitating: "Xu Xu and Boshang are more famous for their separation."

The Qi State next to him couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Zhao Wujiu couldn't help laughing, "It's true..." and stopped asking him, turning to his subordinates and saying, "Let's find some more civilians, put on tattered clothes, and go fill in the pit together."

This hand was very good, and the number of people filling the ditch on the back of the soil suddenly increased to 20,000, and the speed increased sharply.

Li Sihai on the city saw that the road was coming, ran into the city gate tower, and said to Qin Lei: "They were cheating and mixed with their people."

"Oh," Qin Lei curled up on the recliner, grabbed the quilt on his body, and said without opening his eyes: "Then you go and separate them, right?"

"Hey...ah?" Li Sihai said with his small eyes wide open: "All of them are mixed together, how can we be separated?"

"Oh," Qin Lei nodded and said, "Then continue...to strengthen the city defense."

‘Can you say something else?’ Li Sihai complained in his heart that he has always been smooth sailing and has not been baptized by real swords and guns, so he did not know the cruelty of war.

When he was about to make noise, he was stopped by Shi Gan and pushed him out of the door halfway.

The next day passed by the passionate labor of both sides. Even at night, both sides continued to construct with torches as if they were playing games. It was not until the third day that they each finished their work and rested...

When I woke up on the morning of the third day, I saw that both sides had achieved remarkable achievements. The city wall of Qin State was one meter high, and the arrow tower was densely packed, and even the women's wall was built.

The Qi State is not bad either. The river surface is flattened and has been completely paved with sand and soil, which is equipped with the conditions for attack.

After finishing all the work, if you want to find some civil engineering work, you have to build a tent and build a new house. If this is true, Qin Lei will be unlucky, because his task is to delay one day, when will the reinforcements be waited for, and when will they be transferred to the next stage of the battle?

And as long as the weather is cold enough, defending the city will become easy!

But for Lao Zhao, the situation is just the opposite. He chewed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he had to keep warm during the cold weather. How much military needs are consumed every day? It was converted into cash, which was about 130,000 taels of silver. In addition, the loss of long-distance transportation and the corruption of officials at all levels had to be replaced by 200,000 taels of Qi every day.

That's why Sun Tzu said: War is a major matter for the country! Don't make trouble unless it is absolutely necessary...

Therefore, Zhao Wujiu decided to start a battle because as long as he attacked the wealthy Guanzhong, he could greatly reduce the burden on the country due to food.

Zhao Wujiu used his old trick again and sent a large army to chase the Qin people slowly towards the city wall. This time he wanted to use them as a meat shield.

After driving the people to the city gate, the archers of Qi began to shoot up to the sky, and the spearmen began to stab the spears without hesitation, forcing them to run forward with their heads in their arms.

The people were shot and killed and injured, and rushed to the city gate, banging wildly on the huge city gate, hoping to hide in the city.

But that was just a luxury. The day before yesterday, Qin Lei ordered people to seal the city gate, and another huge rock filled the city gate hole. Even if anyone in the city couldn't stand it, he couldn't open the door and went out.

In fact, the purpose of doing this is not simple, because the soldiers are just ordinary people. If you watch your compatriots be killed in large numbers but cannot be rescued, you may feel guilty and collapse. But after blocking the city gate, the situation will be very different... It’s not that we don’t want to help, but we really can’t help! In this way, our attention will turn to hatred against the Qi army, and we won’t be entangled in “not saving if we see death” or something.

Although it is ridiculous to deceive yourself, it can often achieve unexpected results.

Sure enough, the soldiers in the city beat their chests and stamped their feet, cursing repeatedly, but they all scolded Qi people and beasts, but rarely blamed themselves...

Seeing the ghosts and wolves crying and howling under the city, blood flowing into a river, but without any progress, Zhao Wujiu said in a deep voice: "Send a few ladders over!"

Soon, more than a dozen cloud ladders built yesterday were transported to the front of the city. I don’t know who led the lead, but the refugees raised the cloud ladders one by one and put them on the top of the city.

Everyone in the city didn't know what to do now, so they looked at Boshang Saiyang in unison. Boshang Saiyang was about to run to the city gate tower to ask for instructions, but saw the city window being pushed open, and the prince's angry voice flew out: "Only one is left, throw away all the others!" "The black guard came over and tied up one!"

As soon as he heard the order, the soldiers who had been unable to wait all took action and used a hook and sickle to push out more than a dozen cloud ladders on the top of the city. The refugee who had climbed halfway down immediately fell down, and there were continuous screams from the city...

On the side of the only ladder that left behind, several thick sergeants holding long sticks had already stood, poking the refugees who were about to climb up the ladder to delay their climb to the city.

In this way, the rest of the people easily climbed up and knocked down one by one. Without any chance of reaction, the black guards in black immediately pressed and searched their bodies. As long as there was a sharp blade, they would cut them directly without saying a word and hung their heads on the top of the city to serve as a warning to others.

Although the efficiency is extremely low, the advantage lies in safety and worry-freeness.

The same thing, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that time will pass too slowly...

Seeing this scene, Zhao Wujiu said furiously: "Why is this person so shameless?" It attracted the eyes of the generals around him, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: 'Brother, let alone the second brother, the master has met an opponent this time.'

After a whole morning of hard work, Zhao Wujiu was exhausted and continued to play. Qi State finally resigned, escorted and prepared the team that attacked after the chaos on the city. He left most of Shang Yu's refugees and retreated.

Seven or eight hundred people also withdrew from the refugees and ran towards the Qi army camp, which was obviously the sand that had been plagued into.

Qin Lei then ordered: "No need to fight anymore, just control the speed of coming up." As he said that, he said to the Captain Niu who served beside him, "Take people to escort the refugees out of the city immediately, and then let them identify strangers with each other, kill the picks, and send some rations and let them go."

Captain Niu quickly bowed and said, "I know." Just as he was about to walk out, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "One principle, no one is allowed to stay in the city!"

"yes."

After searching one by one, the ladders were much faster. After noon, all those who could climb the ladders climbed up. As for those who were old, weak, sick and disabled, they could only force themselves to pretend that they didn't see it.

In the cold weapon war, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled are all unfavorable factors that weaken national strength and combat power, the fewer, the better.

That's so cruel.

But everyone had no objection to this rule, as if Qin Lei was the only one who was in a sad mood. The soldiers were discussing the interesting things of the past two days happily, and everyone was very satisfied with being able to spend the third day safely.

They were informed before the war, and they could be done after one month of defense! One tenth of the time has passed, and there have been no casualties. How could the officers and soldiers be dissatisfied?

Looking into the Qi State military camp, knowing that there would be no more war today, Qin Lei tightened his cloak and left the city gate tower.

Li Sihai and Bo Shang Saiyang quickly approached and looked at Qin Lei with admiration and said, "Uncle, what kind of military tactics are you using today?"

"Military Art?" Qin Lei scratched his head and laughed: "This is called responding to changes with the unchanging!"

"Resist as long as you change?" Bo Shang Saiyang asked with wide eyes: "What does it mean?"

"It's not interesting, go for a meal." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "Your aunt should be anxious." He was most afraid that this silly boy would break the bastard and ask the whole thing, so he simply cut off the topic.
