The secret guard estimated that Gu Qiancheng would arrive today, but His Highness Qin wanted to stay in the camp and wait for Gu Qiancheng so that Gu Qiancheng could see him when he arrived, but...
On the battlefield, he cannot be absent!
Since the battle between the army and King Zhao, he would have appeared on the battlefield even if he had not taken action. If he was absent from today's battle because of Gu Qiancheng's arrival, and was singled out by someone with ulterior motives afterwards, it would definitely be Gu Qiancheng who was scolded.
Those civil servants always like to impose the mistakes of emperors and crown princes on women. Whether it is for his own good or for the good of Gu Qiancheng, he will do whatever he has to do.
Since the old emperor has chosen Qin Jiyan as the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, he will not let him suffer in the war. Although the soldiers and horses given are only 200,000, the military supplies that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households can draw are enough to allocate 400,000 military supplies.
With the entire treasury at his back, Qin Jiyan was not afraid of waste, and he won this battle no matter how hard he fought.
In order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, His Highness Qin did not use men to charge forward when attacking the city, but used chariots, catapults, and ballistae!
The chariot rushed over and hit the city gate so much that it shook.
The catapult hit the city wall with stones from a distance. Although it only hit the target two or three times out of ten times, it was enough for His Highness Qin. Anyway, he didn't mind this small waste.
When the soldiers attacked the city, they all stood behind the ballistae. The ballistae blocked the artillery fire of the northwest army for them. They only had to pay a very small price to make the northwest army suffer.
"I don't believe it. He has prepared so many stones, and he has endless siege vehicles and crossbow vehicles!" In the past few days, the stones smashed into the city could pile up into a mountain, and the flying and buried crossbow arrows were stuck on the ground.
The fact that a forest can be planted shows how ruthless His Highness Qin's attacks are.
Faced with the powerful military attack, King Zhao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but it happened that these stones could not be used on his catapult, and the crossbow arrows could not be installed on the crossbow.
Too small!
At some point, Da Qin secretly rebuilt the catapult and the crossbow. The stones placed on the catapult were only the size of a fist, and the crossbow arrows became more slender, and they were all made of wood. What use did he use them for?
King Zhao always thought that the chariots and crossbows in King Qin's hands would soon be used up, but more than ten days later, Qin Jiyan was still squandering like this, without any idea of saving, as if there was an inexhaustible mountain of treasure behind him.
Same.
Knowing that the old emperor was behind his back and did not hesitate to support Qin Jiyan with financial and material resources to win the battle, King Zhao immediately cried bitterly, "My father is so partial. They are both his sons and grandsons. They are the only ones in my father's eyes."
To father and son.”
When the staff heard this, they didn't know how to persuade them. Since ancient times, they believed that the prince was not only the eldest son but also the eldest son. It was normal to make him the crown prince.
As for His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun?
If the prince had not died, as the prince's eldest son, he would also be the crown prince in the future, and the country of Da Qin should have belonged to their father and son...
Under such circumstances, how could they persuade King Zhao?
At this moment, it is useless for King Zhao to be dissatisfied with the old emperor. He has already rebelled and there is no way back for him. If he wins, he has the world; if he loses, he has nothing!
After a morning of bombing, King Zhao suffered a small loss of a group of people. His Highness Qin ordered a retreat when he saw that it was almost done.
A lieutenant general asked in confusion: "Your Highness, won't you continue the attack?" In the past, didn't we always fight from morning till night?
"Tomorrow, there will be a more important battle." His Highness Qin rejected everyone with these words.
At noon, when he returned to the camp, His Highness Qin ordered that all the soldiers should be given extra meals tonight!
All the soldiers cheered and shouted, "Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
Some well-informed lieutenants thought that His Highness Qin was ordering extra meals in advance for tomorrow's battle, but only His Highness Qin himself understood that he ordered extra meals because Gu Qiancheng was here.
Qin Jiyan returned to the camp. After having lunch, he discussed tomorrow's war with General Cheng and his lieutenants.
"Tomorrow, the siege vanguard will be led by General Yan. After General Yan breaks the city gate, General Sun and General Lei will each lead 5,000 people to outflank them from both wings... General Cheng will lead 50,000 people to Qingcheng tonight, and cut off the city gate."
Queen Zhao Road." His Highness Qin pointed at the map in front of him and gave orders one by one.
After several battles, all the soldiers knew that Qin Jiyan was familiar with the art of war and was not just talking about war on paper. The soldiers had no objections to his arrangements, but...
"Who is General Yan? Is he the General Yan we thought of?" A bold deputy general asked. His Highness Qin was also easy to talk to, so he nodded and said: "Pingxi Commandery Prince Yan Qing."
"others……"
"It will be here in the afternoon. He will show up with his soldiers. We will leave the city to him tomorrow. General Yan has a strange person." Since Gu Qiancheng wanted to promote her younger brother, he naturally wanted to give Gu Qiancheng a chance.
If he wanted to be the imperial concubine, the future queen, her background could be low, but the power behind her could not be weak. From now on, he would cultivate enough power for Gu Qiancheng, so that no one would dare to look down on her.
"General Yan is here today and will go to the battlefield tomorrow. Can he do it?" The lieutenants were not jealous that Yan Qing got the first victory. Although the people who broke the city could get the first victory, it was an extremely dangerous thing.
Qin Jiyan did not explain, but looked coldly at the person who raised the objection: "A soldier's bounden duty is to obey!"
The man was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The last general deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Highness."
His Highness Qin ignored him and just said: "If you have no objection, go down."
"Yes!" His Highness Qin became more and more majestic. How dare they have any objections.
The lieutenant general retreated in fear. As soon as he walked out of the camp, he heard the soldiers outside shouting, "Master Feng, General Yan is here!"
"Master Feng, General Yan?" Upon hearing this title, the first reaction of the lieutenants was the two old foxes in the capital. They couldn't help but be surprised, "Why did those two people come from the capital? Could something have happened in the capital?"
The lieutenants broke out in a sweat just thinking about this, and hurriedly rushed forward...
His Highness Qin, who was in the camp, knew very well who they were talking about, and he wanted to greet him personally, but...
The emperor's grandson has never gone out to greet a group of petty officials and generals who have returned without merit. If he wants to go out to greet them in person, he is not treating the virtuous corporal, but lowering himself.
The higher you stand, the more people are staring at you, so you can't do as you please.
No matter what, His Highness Qin could not go out, because except for himself, no one knew that the people he went out to meet were not Yan Qing and Feng Sijin.
There have never been women in the army, and there is only one profession for women in Beijing, that is, military prostitutes. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Qiancheng dressed up as a man and mixed with Cheng Huan and the others.
Gu Qiancheng has been exposed to the sun during this time, and is dark and thin. In addition, his hair has been shortened, and he really looks a bit like a boy. It is not inappropriate at all to stand with these young men like Cheng Huan.
The lieutenants thought it was Feng Shoufu and Prince Pingxi who were coming, so they came out to greet them personally. However, when they saw Feng Sijin and Yan Qing, they immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Although these two people have good backgrounds, they are upstarts in the officialdom. Yan Qing is okay, and his rank is equivalent to them, but Feng Sijin is just a seventh-rank petty official. They are so eager to come out to welcome people, and people who don't know are still
I thought they were flattering and flattering.
The lieutenants hesitated to move forward, looking embarrassed...
In this situation, Gu Qiancheng, Cheng Huan and others are not qualified to speak. Yan Qing is not good at words. Feng Sijin knows without thinking that he is the only one who is in charge at this time...
