The city wall of Pingyang was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. Because it was a border town of the Wei State close to the powerful Qin Dynasty, it was very strong. The city wall was five feet high and the horse path was wide. It was made of huge blue stones mixed with glutinous rice juice and mixed with mortar, which was extremely strong.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of dim light shone on the tall city wall! Countless shining swords, guns, bows and arrows emerged from behind the intact and neat crenellations. The water of the moat surrounding the city outside the city wall suddenly changed in the boundless murderous aura.

It became violent and surged like a crazy beast.

There were originally 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry stationed in the city tower. In addition to Uncle Zhou's personal soldiers, there were 1,000 and a few hundred soldiers, leaving a total of just over 20,000 troops! The cavalry usually practiced horseback shooting and city defense skills.

It is relatively poor. When faced with flying locust-like arrows, the psychological quality of infantry is not as good. It is barely enough to charge into the battle, but it is far from holding on to the fortified city.

After Uncle Zhou watched the Qin army withdraw last night, he immediately ordered someone to count the number of soldiers and found that he had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses left. Some of them escaped over the wall before the battle started. The Wei army's military discipline and lack of

His fighting spirit made him extremely frustrated. It seemed that there was still a big gap between the strength of the regular army. But Uncle Zhou couldn't care less about the discomfort now. He knew that if Wei Bao couldn't come back to rescue in a short time, Pingyang would definitely be defeated.

If it cannot be defended, the powerful Qin army and Qin generals will use all their strength to attack the city, and the nearby Wei cities have also lost contact with it. Pingyang has become a truly isolated city.

Wang Zhu accepted Li Zuoche's advice and sent 30,000 troops to block all the roads within fifty miles around Pingyang City. The archers alone could only block the roads for ten miles. Not even a fly could fly out.

At the battle meeting in the early morning, Li Zuoche was very active. He also wanted to make some contributions to the liberation of Pingyang and win some rewards. Li Zuoche refuted the wolf pack tactic proposed by Wang Zhu and disagreed with the four doors at the same time.

Launching a general offensive would allow the enemy to mobilize their forces in an orderly manner, which would not disrupt Uncle Zhou's overall deployment.

"I want General Wang Ling, who is responsible for the main attack on the south gate, to attack with all his strength first, giving Uncle Zhou the illusion that our army is only attacking one gate, and let him concentrate all his forces on the south wall. Half an hour later, the rest of the attack

The troops took advantage of the opportunity when the other three gates were empty to attack the city and attack by force at the same time. Uncle Zhou will definitely divide his troops again in a hurry, and the scene will be very chaotic. The four generals will take advantage of the opportunity and enter. Whoever attacks the city first will get the credit!"

Wang Zhu hurriedly added: "No one will forget Mr. Li's contribution." Li Zuoche's face turned red: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that. Please don't misunderstand me!"

Zhou Bo finally had another chance to fight on the battlefield, and he was sent by Lu Fei. He felt that he was justified and had no shame at all for betraying Liu Bang. When it comes to betrayal, Liu Bang's wife is the first one. When it comes, let it go, Zhou Bo

He also rushed to speak, pointing with his right hand to the battle map hanging on the wall, and said calmly: "Seek credit for credit, never lose a big one for a small thing. You must cooperate with all sides to fight, and the army that attacks the city first should not rush to attack."

Insert deeply, first infiltrate along the city wall in a roundabout way, kill the enemy defensive troops on the wall and at the city gate, then open all the city gates, let in the other three groups of troops, and then attack inward from four directions, killing all the enemies.

The army is suppressed in the center of the city, and we must deal with it in one fell swoop. Otherwise, tens of thousands of our troops may be lost in street fighting. Uncle Zhou is not a vegetarian."

The generals who participated in the war generally only cared about who could break the city first, and they did not care much about how to fight in the streets after entering the city. Just listen to whoever said something reasonable. No one expressed any objection. Wang Zhu also felt that Zhou Bo's proposal was very interesting.

Well, in the past when we fought siege battles, we were busy fighting as soon as we entered the city. The common people were beaten for a long time, but the enemy troops were left behind. They were herding sheep for a long time, and the victims were all the old and weak.

Women and children really don’t know what to say. Zhou Bo’s method fundamentally solved the danger of going deep alone, and to a large extent, reduced the unnecessary casualties caused by chaotic street fighting.

"Zhou Bo's suggestion is a good one. Let's do it this way. No matter who enters the city first, they can't just care about themselves. They must also take into account the coordinated operations of the four gates." Wang Zhu stood up and made a decision.

"An hour later, the attack on the city began. Wang Ling attacked the south gate first, and the rest of the people went around the alley to the east, west, and north gates. When they saw the troops at the top of the city, they immediately rushed out and took advantage of the opportunity."

"Yes!" the generals promised and exited the tent. Immediately outside the tent came the sound of people, horses, and running. The generals were all mobilizing their troops. Wang Zhu was also wearing a helmet, wearing a sword, and was ready.

Go to war!

Lu Pheasant suddenly walked in elegantly from outside the tent, and said with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, are you going too?" Wang Zhu tightened his armor and said proudly, "Of course, I always take the lead."

Lu Pheasant came over to adjust his helmet. Wang Zhu smelled a strong fragrance of powder, took a deep breath and smiled, "Aren't you tired? Why don't you sleep more!" Lu Pheasant had already put on makeup and hair when he got up early in the morning.

Her hair was combed into a bun, and a thin layer of pink rouge was applied to her face. Her exquisite cherry lips were as red as a pomegranate flower. She lowered her hair and smiled; "I'm not tired - I came to you because I want to tell you something."

——”

Wang Zhu calculated on his fingers: "You are not pregnant, are you?"

Lu Pheasant rolled his beautiful eyes; "Where did you think of it? I want to tell you that there used to be a BMW in Zhou City called 'Wanli Yinshanchuan'. It was a snow-white horse with no hair on its body."

It has mixed hair, four broad hooves, and bright eyes. It can travel a thousand times a day and eight hundred times a night. If the king is lucky enough to see it, he can seize it and use it as a mount. The king of the Qin Dynasty must always have a horse beside him, which is majestic enough.

?”

When Lu Pheasant said the last words, his voice was soft and his eyes were full of affection. Wang Zhu thought to himself, it seems that Empress Lu has true feelings for me. She even thought about something as small as the war horse. The air was a little cold, and it was dark outside the tent.

A little yellowish, the atmosphere was very comfortable and romantic, and Wang Zhu was even a little intoxicated with his flirting with this beautiful widow.

"Madam, you are gone!" Wang Zhu stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Pheasant's gauze chest, half of her white chest was exposed.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you -" Lu Pheasant stamped his feet and scolded and quickly stepped aside. Wang Zhu laughed and walked out of the handsome tent! Behind him, Lu Pheasant was full of joy and joy. This kind of teasing between husband and wife was so exciting.

The mental shock it brought was something she had never felt before. The moment Wang Zhu walked out, there seemed to be a thousand hands behind her pushing her to follow. She didn't want to watch Wang Zhu go to the battlefield, and she was worried about her life.

While Wang Zhu was busy flirting, Uncle Zhou had already completed the initial deployment of defenses in the city with a weak force of about 20,000. Although there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and our forces, he believed that through his flexible command, he would be able to persist for ten days and eight days.

When Wei Bao's troops returned.

"Right now, the strength ratio between our army and the Qin army is five to one. But our army has a solid city wall as a barrier, and countless arrows will give the Qin army a fatal blow. Twenty thousand people is already a lot, and it is enough for us to hold on for half a year.

!If you give me another 10,000 people, I can even lead you straight to Xianyang. Do you have confidence?" Uncle Zhou was making preparations before the war to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"Have confidence, have confidence -" The soldiers standing under the city remained silent, and there were only a few people who agreed. It was obvious that they had little confidence.

Uncle Zhou was about to say a few words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard trumpets blasting outside the city. "Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!" The city wall was shaking like a wind demon.

"The Qin army is coming, brothers, hurry to the city!"

Outside the south gate!

Wang Ling led Jin Qiang and Zhang Ping to attack the city first! The thirty thousand troops were divided into three groups and advanced from the left, middle and right of the city gate. Wang Ling was in the middle, Jin Qiang was on the left, and Zhang Ping was on the right. The formations of the three groups were exactly the same.

, they are all soldiers with oars and shields, archers in front, stone carts, and infantry swordsmen and spearmen in the back. Every two infantry soldiers have a ladder in their hands, ready to cross the river and attack the city at any time! Wang Zhu, Wang Ao, and Li Zuoche

Sitting in chariots, they were mixed in with the Chinese army. The distance from the city head was almost only reachable by Wang Zhu's sniper rifle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The beating drums were conveying an ultimatum to the Wei soldiers on the top of the city. The Qin soldiers below the city made a clicking sound, their oars and shields were raised, and their bows and arrows were strung in order.

approaching the moat.

"Uncle Zhou, surrender quickly! You have no way out. King Qin said that as long as you surrender the city, I will grant you a hundred thousand households. What do you think? Think about it!"

, the long red tassel on his head swayed in the wind. Behind him, the neat and domineering Qin army arrayed in rows, made him look like a divine general.

"Humph, Qin Army, listen, Wei has only generals who died in battle and no cowards who surrendered. If you have the ability, come and attack the city. If you don't, go back to Qin as soon as possible. If you want me, Uncle Zhou, to surrender, unless the sun

Come out from the west!"

Wang Ling knew that Uncle Zhou could not be persuaded to surrender, and what he said just now was just a formality. Wang Ling pointed his sword forward: "Beat the drum, attack the city! Launch the stone chariot, and the archers are ready!"

"Dong dong dong dong" With the sound of intensive drums, the Qin army's archers and shield soldiers moved forward slowly in rows. The archers had already stringed their arrows, and the shield soldiers raised their shields high to cover them.

All over the body.

"Fire arrows!" As soon as the Qin army entered the shooting range, Uncle Zhou gave the decisive order, and suddenly thousands of crossbows were fired. The Qin army felt as if it was hit by a heavy rain! The Qin army's archers reflexively tightened their bow strings and shot arrows towards the city head.

Countless arrows fired at each other covered the sky.

In the rain of arrows, Uncle Zhou stood at the top of the city with a sword, motivating the soldiers to fight. From a distance, he saw King Qin's royal flag in the middle of the army. He suddenly wondered in his heart, could the Qin soldiers concentrate their efforts to attack the south gate?! Zhou

My uncle sent people to the other three gates to inquire about the news. The people he sent came back as soon as he burned the incense and reported that no enemy troops were found in the other three gates.

The Qin army's offensive became more and more fierce. The shield soldiers had advanced dozens of feet despite the rain of arrows. The Qin army's stone machine began to fire huge rocks at the top of the city. The soldiers on the top of the city were shot to death, and the soldiers who were killed gradually gradually

The number of soldiers increased. Five thousand soldiers guarded three thousand crenels, and Uncle Zhou did not even have a reserve team in his hands. The soldiers behind the crenels fell, and no one would be able to replace them. The huge rocks and feather arrows fired by the Qin army under the city whizzed and circled overhead, and there was no death.

The screams were everywhere and could scare the faint of heart to death. Many soldiers did not dare to poke their heads out when faced with such a dense rain of arrows.

As a result, the arrows on the top of the city became sparser and sparse, while the arrow rain below the city became more and more intense. They criss-crossed and weaved into a large black net in the air, coming toward us as if

All living creatures on the city must be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Faced with this situation, Uncle Zhou was really powerless. He shouted at the top of his lungs but could not stop Qin's forward troops from advancing one foot at a time. When they arrived at the moat, many Qin infantrymen were holding ladders in their hands.

They are ready to make a move. If the Qin army puts the ladder on the moat in such a short period of time, Pingyang City will definitely fall before dark.

"Quick, send the order. Three thousand soldiers from each of the east, west and north gates will be sent to the south gate to help in the battle!" Uncle Zhou had no choice but to finally issue the order to adjust the defense, which happened to fall into Li Zuoche's plan.

Chen Xi, Zhou Bo, and Guan Ying were lying in ambush in the woods and hills outside the city. They saw the flags on the city wall moving and the soldiers walking around. They went down to the city one by one, knowing that they must have fallen into Li Zuoche's plan. The three of them watched the city wall closely.

Counting the time minute by second, it was estimated that these people had arrived at the south gate of the city. With an order, the three groups of people joined the battle as agreed in advance!

"Kill, kill!" The soldiers of the Qin army ran wildly outside the three city gates with swords and guns raised. The soldiers in the city felt as if a group of hungry wolves were coming from under the city.

Zhou Bo mainly attacked the east gate. After carefully analyzing the situation, he made a very bold decision. He threw away his shield and ordered the archers to press forward. With such a small defender, he would be frightened to death if he used any shield.

After the archers, all the stone machines are concentrated on the left side of the east gate, and the ladders are also concentrated on the left side. This is the second division of the enemy's two thousand defenders. How big can the more than a thousand crenels on the left side be?

It was so powerful that it was violently bombarded by the stone machine, killing some of them and injuring them, while the rest did not dare to show their heads at all.

Zhou Bo's analysis was correct. There were less than 2,000 soldiers left outside the east gate. They were all veterans and child soldiers. All the elites had been transferred to the south gate to support them. Thirty to forty thousand Qin troops came in overwhelming numbers and were so well-equipped.

, morale was so high, and without a general in charge, people's hearts suddenly dispersed. Zhou Bo launched a surprise attack with archers and stone machines. Suddenly, sand and stones were flying on the city top, and most of the Wei soldiers were killed.

He lowered his head. Although the Qin army also suffered casualties, they were very excited about the coming victory and marched forward bravely.

"Fire the arrows! Fire the stone machine!" Zhou Bo's strategy is somewhat similar to Napoleon's penetration battle. He concentrated all the superior forces on one point and first destroyed the enemy's will. The Wei soldiers on the top of the city were shocked by this very spicy attack.

The tactics were so tough that I couldn’t hold my head up.

When countless ladders were set up on the moat and the Qin soldiers began to cross the river, the Wei soldiers on the top of the city immediately collapsed and ran to the bottom of the city desperately. Zhou Bo rode forward and roared at the top of his lungs: "Climb the city, climb the city! Wealth and honor.
Chapter completed!
