The smoke rising from the Qin army's positions was a kind of enjoyment for the Qin army soldiers, but for the Zhao army in Anyang, it was undoubtedly a torment.
Obviously, all this is a challenge to their will.
Ma Fu was filled with anger, but he had no choice. Because he could only defend the city, and he did not dare to go out of the city to fight unless it was absolutely necessary.
The only good thing is that since the Qin army has lit up the smoke and buried the pots to make rice, they will definitely not attack the city again today.
The thought that there was no pressure to attack the city alleviated Ma Fu's worries a lot.
The deputy general has already broken through, but he has never received any news about whether it was successful or not, and there has been no news from Handan so far.
This made Ma Fu feel uneasy.
In this fight, he seemed to be abandoned. His father didn't care, and neither did his mother.
Moreover, most of the equipment, food and grass in Anyang City have been consumed. If the situation continues like this, even if the Qin army does not attack the city, Anyang will have to surrender after being besieged for several months.
"General, the Qin army is still burying pots to make rice at this time. It's really arrogant. It doesn't take our army seriously at all..."
…
Ma Fu did not respond to the words of the commander of the army. The Qin army outside the city was a direct descendant of the prince of Qin. They were an elite force in the true sense.
Even if the other party tramples on his dignity so unscrupulously, Ma Fu does not dare to go out easily and defend the city. This is the only thing he can do at the moment.
"The Qin army is like tigers and wolves. Don't be deceived by the opponent's performance at this moment. The crown prince of Great Qin, Ying Gao, came from fighting in the army."
Looking at the Qin Army's shogunate not far away, Ma Fu felt full of pressure. He knew in his heart that compared to others, Ying Gao was more dangerous.
Because of this man's unconstrained style and decisive killings, the number of people who have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Ying Gao in recent years far exceeds that of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.
Massacre of people!
This is how everyone in the world who knows Ying Gao's deeds evaluates Ying Gao.
The last person to make such a comment was Bai Qi, the last king of Wu'an in Qin.
Facing such a person, how could he dare to look down upon him?
…
"General Ying, except for the catapult barracks, the rest of the army has already eaten. Do you want to replace them?" Bai Zhong put down the tea cup and asked Ying Gao.
"Let the soldiers in the catapult battalion eat, and at the same time give orders, the archers and crossbowmen advance, and the equipment battalion bulldozes the trenches to clear the way for the soldiers in light clothes and the cloud chariot to advance."
Putting down the tea cup, Ying Gao pondered for a while, then gave a decisive order to Bai Zhong, saying.
"promise."
Watching Bai Zhong walk out, the faces of everyone in the shogunate changed slightly, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn. They all knew that the war was about to begin.
Moreover, this time it was not a small fight like before, but all the energy was concentrated to completely defeat Anyang, make peace with Yang Duan, and Chen Bing outside Handan City.
When they thought of this, the generals felt heavy in their hearts, and at the same time they were also excited. As military generals, they themselves loved the battlefield.
As long as the Zhao State is destroyed, it is not a problem to be granted the title of a prince or prime minister for such a great feat of destroying the country. Even if the destruction of the Zhao State is not enough, there are still other countries in Shandong.
…
Seeing the changes in the emotions of the generals in the shogunate, Ying Gao also chuckled and said: "The war to destroy Zhao is about to begin. For the sake of destroying the country, you may not be able to be crowned a prince and worship the prime minister."
"If it is not enough to destroy Zhao, then Wei will be destroyed. If it is not enough to destroy Wei, then Chu will be destroyed. If it is not enough to destroy Chu, then Yanqi will be destroyed."
"When the day comes when Great Qin annexes it, I will believe that all of you present will at least be granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, leaving behind the descendants of Fuze."
"The opportunity to become a marquis and become a prime minister is right before your eyes. I hope that each of you can seize it instead of just missing it."
"Please rest assured, General Ying. The last general will fight bravely to kill the enemy and destroy Zhao in one battle!" At this moment, the generals were excited and their hearts were agitated.
Although Ying Gao's tone was calm, his words made the generals extremely excited. They fought bravely to kill the enemy, wasn't it just for the sake of becoming princes and becoming prime ministers?
"General Ying, the general has sent news. The general has agreed to General Ying's request, but everything must wait until the general's military order is received."
Sima Shi hurried to the shogunate and conveyed the order to Ying Gao General Wang Jian. Then he spoke quickly and said:
"The candidate for the guard general of the Zhao army in the direction of Wu'an has been determined. Sima Shang, the deputy general of the Zhao army on the border, is heading south, and will most likely go to Anyang."
…
Hearing this, Ying Gao's eyes flickered, and he turned towards Sima Master and said, "Where is Sima Shang now? How long is it to Anyang?"
"General Ying, Sima Shang is now only one day away from Handan!"
Glancing at Master Sima, Ying Gao said in a deep voice, "What is the situation in Handan City? Has Mr. Dunruo been rescued?"
"General Ying, the city of Handan is becoming calm. After the Zhao State's meritorious service, the Zhao State clan, Lian Po, Pang Yuan and others have temporarily reached an agreement."
"As for Mr. Dunruo, our people have already contacted him. However, the post is heavily guarded. Mr. Dunruo asked me to tell General Ying that there is no need to worry about his safety."
"He can protect himself in Handan City, and Black Ice Platform is not weak in Handan."
…
"What a quick method. It seems that Pang Yuan is not simple either. Gongzi Jia is indeed stronger than Zhao Wangqian."
With a sigh, Ying Gao turned to Bai Zhong and said, "General Bai, let's get started."
"This battle is your first battle since you were born. I will personally fight for you so that you don't lose the prestige of Lord Wu'an."
"Let Zhao people know that the Bai family is back again!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Bai Zhong walked out of the shogunate with a long sword in his hand. Looking at Bai Zhong walking out of the shogunate, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"General Ying, how about General Bai Zhong?" Fan Zeng frowned. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Bai Zhong's military strategy, but that Bai Zhong hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time.
And this battle is so crucial.
"Don't worry, sir, the mere Anyang City cannot stop General Bai Zhong!" Ying Gao chuckled, trusting Bai Zhong extremely.
…
On the command chariot, Bai Zhong looked solemn. He knew in his heart the importance of this battle to Da Qin, and he also knew equally well what significance this battle had to him.
The victory over Anyang in this battle was not only a great victory in the first battle to destroy Zhao in the east, it could also boost the morale of the army and inspire the people of Qin.
It also means Bai's return.
Therefore, there must be no accidents in this battle. Standing on the chariot and looking at the opposite city wall, Bai Zhong's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"General, order the troops to be in place, and all the battalions in the army are in place!" Sima of the Chinese army reminded Bai Zhong, and then held the order flag tightly in his hand.
Hearing this, Bai Zhong's eyes became sharp and he said in a deep voice: "I am sending an order to the general: the catapult camp should concentrate its strength and attack one point fiercely."
"This time, consume all the remaining stones. Once the stones are completely consumed, the catapult battalion will immediately retreat and hand over the position to the crossbowmen."
