The people of Handan City who were about to clash with the Qin soldiers in the city were indeed instigated by some people. Their relatives were imprisoned under Wang Li's order. In addition to worrying that their relatives would be harmed by the Qin people, they were also worried that their relatives would be harmed by the Qin people.

Afraid that I will be affected too

Thinking of the severe punishments that the Qin people had always used, these people felt that it was better to stand up and resist than to wait for death. But because their power was limited, they thought of inciting all the people in the city to fight with the Qin army.

Be against.

The people in the city were actually very happy when they saw that all the powerful people in the past were arrested. However, when they heard some people say that the Qin people might be harmful to the people of Handan City, they thought that they were Zhao people after all.

, the Qin people are likely to take the opportunity to deal with themselves

, and some people said that there are not many Qin troops in the city now, and there are tens of thousands of Chu troops outside. As long as the city gate is opened and they are allowed in, the lives of the people can be saved. So for their own safety, these people

They all participated in this riot.

The Qin troops in various places in the city were afraid of causing greater turmoil at first, so they arrested the rioting people first. Unexpectedly, this made the people more convinced of their judgment, and more people turned to these Qin soldiers.

military

The soldiers rushed up. Some soldiers had prejudices against the Zhao people and believed that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms wanted to destroy the Qin Dynasty. When they saw them trying to attack them again, they couldn't bear it. They also picked up their weapons and fought with the people.

Together.

These people were just instigated by others to take to the streets. Most of them didn't even have a stick in their hands. When they saw the Qin army holding weapons, they pounced on them. They were frightened and turned around and ran away.

Collided with the person behind,

The people were confused and trampled on each other for a while. Thousands of people were huddled together, shouting and screaming could be heard in the distance. When the Qin soldiers saw this scene, they didn't know whether they should continue to kill, so they all

Standing far away.

When Wang Li and others arrived, they saw this tragic scene. Zhao Ba saw dozens of people lying on the ground. Because the crowd was in chaos, no one saw anyone lying on the ground.

Thousands of feet stepped on them, and those who fell on the ground were trampled to death. "General, this situation must be controlled immediately, otherwise once the people in the city wake up, they will blame all this hatred on you.

Then my words will have no effect."

Wang Li thought it right, and ordered his soldiers to step forward with daggers and shields, use the backs of their swords to drive away the people, and use their shields to disperse the people. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers with loud voices to shout loudly,

It shows that the Qin army had no intention of harming the people.

Thinking. At first, the people neither heard the voice nor believed what the Qin people said, but as the Qin troops separated them and stabilized the situation, they stood there doubtful.

Looking at Wang Li and his soldiers.

Zhao Ba knew that it was time for him to come forward, so he walked to a high place and said loudly: "Do you recognize me, Zhao Ba?" After seeing that all the people recognized him, he continued: "Everyone, please don't.

Instigated by others, I have already received the news from General Wang. All of this is a conspiracy thought up by the Chu people outside the city.

The plan is actually that they want to use everyone's help to capture Handan City, so everyone should stop making trouble. And you can rest assured that those imprisoned, General Wang has decided to release them, and the injured people here will also

There is a pension. As long as everyone is willing to trust me, Zhao Ba, please go back. The soldiers will still go to the city to protect me."

Seeing that Zhao Ba, who had always been famous in the city, had spoken, many people believed it, but some people seemed to be unsure and asked: "How do you know that what these Qin people said is not a lie? And Fang Chu

There is no disadvantage to us if people come in."

Wang Li was angry when he heard this and was about to rebuke him, but Zhao Ba said before him: "There is no falsehood in the army. And everyone has seen it. If these soldiers hadn't come up to separate you just now, I'm afraid there would have been

More people died here. As for the Chu people, don’t forget

Well, just over a year ago, our Zhao army sent troops to attack the Chu army's back road in order to help the Qi people, so that they could not destroy the Qi state. I think the Chu people should hate my Zhao people to their bones.

If we open the city gate and let them in, our fate will probably be a hundred times worse than now."

For a moment, the people felt that what he said was reasonable, and some people began to retreat. When they saw someone doing this, some wavering people also retreated. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, those who provoked the trouble began to retreat.

He asked with a face full of anxiety: "Zhao Ba, are you sure that the Qin people will not settle accounts with us? And will our relatives really be released?"

Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people slowly dispersing. He raised his voice and said: "I will issue a military order here. All those who were wrongly arrested will be released before sunset today.

"

The Chu army outside the city was ready to attack. Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a day, they did not wait for the people in the city to help them open the city gate. Instead, they only waited until the city became quiet. This was beyond the expectations of the Chu people outside the city. They

Busy back to the big time

The camp reported this change to Xiang and Zhuang. Xiang Zhuang was also very puzzled. He looked at Xiang and asked: "Brother, you said that the people in Handan City would cause commotion inside and open the door. Why now?"

But it became quiet again?”

Xiang took a few steps in the tent, and then said hesitantly: "I think there are only two possibilities for this. One is that Handan's guard temporarily suppressed the turmoil by force, and the other is that he used a certain method.

It calmed the emotions of the people in the city. If it was the former, I think it is still possible that Handan City could be breached from the inside.

, although it is controlled by them for a while, the greater your suppression, the greater the resistance of the people will be, so we only need to wait a few more days to see the city gate being opened by them from the inside. But if it is the latter...

...Then if we want to break Handan City, we have to rely on our own troops to attack it." He sighed.

Xiang Zhuang saw that even Xiang was unable to determine the situation in the city, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Then what should we do? Should we attack or wait?"

Xiang continued to walk in the tent, until Xiang Zhuang was dazzled by what he saw, he calmed down and said: "I think you should order a team of troops to attack the city first. If the defenders in the city are not panic,

, and the defense of the city has been successful, it means that the turmoil has been resolved by the guard general, then we must attack the city with a large army."

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said: "Okay, I will send three thousand troops to attack the city and try. Maybe all the Qin troops in the city will be transferred to quell the unrest of the people in the city, and there will be few guards at the top of the city."

Those Chu soldiers were already ready for battle just now, but they just didn't bring out the siege equipment. So now Xiang Zhuang gave the order, they just took out all the equipment and rushed down the city.

The Qin army at the top of the city saw the group of people rushing out of the Chu army camp. They hurriedly ordered people to report to Wang Li in the city. At the same time, they had already picked up the crossbow arrows, wood and rocks at hand. They would use these weapons to attack the enemy as soon as they approached.

They hit each other head on.

As soon as the Chu people reached the city wall, they were shot by random arrows and unable to get close to the city wall. When they finally reached the city wall, they were hit by wood and rocks thrown from the city wall and were forced to hide and hide. Those Chu soldiers only thought they were themselves.

This time they could take down Handan City without a fight, so they were not mentally prepared. Now they saw that the Qin army on the city was well guarded again. After attacking several times without even touching the edge of the city wall, they retreated.

.

This tentative attack ended quickly, but the soldiers who went to report to Wang Li in the city had just arrived at the former Handan Governor's Mansion, where Wang Li now lives. In the lobby, Wang Lizheng and Zhao Ba faced each other.

While sitting down, he poured a full glass of wine and said to Zhao Ba: "Brother Zhao, I'd like to toast you. If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid Handan City would be in danger."

Zhao Ba picked up the wine glass and gestured for it before drinking it down. After he drank the wine, Wang Li asked with some confusion: "But I have something unclear, and I hope Brother Zhao can explain it. I brought someone with me."

To capture Brother Zhao, I would have killed some of your servants, which would have greatly offended Brother Zhao, but why did you help me such a big favor later?"

Zhao Ba smiled and said: "Actually, it is not you or the Qin army who are helping me, but the tens of thousands of people in my Handan City. If they really open the city gate, I think the general will not let them go.

At that time, many people will die at the hands of the Qin army. Compared with their lives, my servants

What does his life matter? And as I said just now, this Chu people and I, Zhao people, have just forged an enmity not long ago. Maybe they won’t do anything to us now, but when they stabilize the situation, they will remember

We will be in trouble due to the accounts from the past few days."

Wang Li nodded with understanding: "So that's what Brother Zhao thinks. Although he doesn't really want to help me, I still accept your kindness. And I will make compensation for your dead servant."

Zhao Ba just smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, a man strode in and said: "General, the Chu army has sent troops to attack the city. The general guarding the city has sent people to report to the general."

"Sure enough, this is Chu people's conspiracy." Wang Li put his wine glass on the table, stood up and said, "I'll go to the top of the city to have a look."

Zhao Ba also stood up and said: "I will also go with the general to have a look. After all, I am more familiar with Handan City."
