General Qin.

Chapter 144 each with their own minds

"Good Zhao Tuo, you can do this thing."

Yang Xiong spoke with the brass horn in his hand, and when he heard that his own voice had really become stronger, he couldn't help but admire, this thing is quite interesting.

Zhao Tuo smiled lightly.

The law of military warfare is to attack the mind first, and to attack the city as the bottom.

With the help of this thing, the morale of the defenders in the city was hit. The Qin army only had to wait for the siege equipment to be built before launching an attack.

He looked at the Waihuang city in the distance, there was a crowd of people there, wondering if Waihuang Ling Zhanger was among them.

"This is a prince..."

Zhao Tuo now remembered that Zhang Er was not a small person in the late Qin Dynasty, but a famous prince and king.

This person first followed Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the uprising against Qin.

After the Qin Dynasty was overthrown, he was named Changshan King by Xiang Yu. Later, when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, he switched to Liu Bang and became Zhao Wang of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Er's son, Zhang Ao, married Liu Bang's daughter, Princess Lu Yuan.Zhang Yan, Zhang Er's granddaughter, married Liu Ying, Liu Bang's son.

This guy is a hardcore anti-Qin faction.

A killing intent flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes.

……

The sky gradually dimmed, and night fell.

All the soldiers of the Qin army had eaten and drank enough, and the elite troops in charge of the main attack had even gone to sleep, resting their energy, and waiting for the siege battle tomorrow.

In ancient times, it was very difficult to attack a city at night, not to mention that the Qin army had traveled thirty miles today, exhausted and not suitable for attacking a city at night.

But the Qin army was not useless. After the discussion between Zhao Tuo and Zhao Ben, they decided to carry out the psychological attack tactics to the end.

The Qin army sent more than ten people to each city gate. Under the cover of night, they continued to preach the doomed situation of the Wei State with brass horns under the cover of night, and publicized the different outcomes of surrender and resistance.

Among them, Qin Yin and Wei Yin intermingle with each other, forming a wave of sound that continuously hits the head of Waihuang City.

And because of the cover of night, these people are not afraid of the arrows at the top of the city, and they are closer than during the day. The sound is amplified by the copper horn, as if they are close at hand, and can be heard clearly.

Zhang Er's face was ugly. He didn't expect Qin Jun to be so cunning and use such dirty tactics.

The power of these words is probably stronger than the power of a weapon.

A weapon hurts a person's body, but words attack a person's heart.

On the top of the city, torches were burning and the lights were bright. Everyone had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

Fortunately, Zhang Er's subordinates are not all courageous people. Isn't Liu Ji from Pei County, Chu State, a loyal and brave man?

Seeing Liu Ji stand up, he cupped his hands and said to Zhang Er: "Mr. Zhang, these Qin people are trying to deceive everyone with lies. It is really noisy. Liu Ji is willing to take a group of strong men out of the city to kill him, and chop off the heads of several Qin people. Build up your reputation!"

Zhang Er's heart moved, and he sent people out of the city to take the initiative to charge for a while. If he could kill some of the Qin army, it would indeed calm people's hearts and let the people in the city understand that the Qin army outside is not invincible.

This Liu Ji is quite knowledgeable, and he is willing to take people out of the city himself, he is really a strong man!

But Zhang Er still shook his head and rejected Liu Ji's proposal.

Because the general of the Qin army under the city is not a mediocrity if he can come up with such a dirty tactic, how could he know that the other party was not prepared.

Maybe there is an elite Qin army hidden in the night, just waiting for them to open the door to attack, and take the opportunity to rush in.

And going out of the city to attack, if Liu Ji can behead the Qin people and return, it is naturally good.But if Liu Ji was killed by the Qin army, the morale blow to the guards in the city would be quite serious.

Zhang Er was unwilling to take such a risk.

Seeing that Zhang Er rejected his proposal, a look of disappointment flashed in Liu Ji's eyes.

Just when he was secretly regretting that he lost another chance to escape, seeing Zhang Er turning around and walking down the tower, he rolled his eyes and followed quietly.

Zhang Er went down the city wall, and there was a confidant waiting below.

"Mr. Zhang, the carriage is ready. If the situation is not good tomorrow, we will escort Mr. Zhang out from the east gate."

"very good."

Zhang Er nodded slightly.

The Qin army attacking Waihuang was not large in number. Even if they broke through the city, they would not have the ability to stop him from breaking through.

The back road has long been left behind, which is why Zhang Er dared to stay in Waihuang to resist the Qin army for a while.

In the dark, Liu Ji watched this scene with a smile on his lips.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun had just risen, and the beautiful morning glow covered the earth with a layer of colorful gauze.

Zhao Tuo was neatly dressed and looked at Waihuangcheng energetically.

Behind him, after a night's rest, the elite of the Qin army were all full of energy, eager to fight, full of fighting spirit, and wanted to make contributions to the city.

Zhao Ben yawned and asked the remaining soldiers to carry their weapons and prepare for a feint attack.

"Zhao Ben is able to deal with him, he is very straightforward."

Zhao Tuo thought to himself, compared to Yang Xiong's unreliable, Zhao Ben's words are few, but he is very down-to-earth and does not strive for credit.

When the two were discussing last night, Zhao Ben took the initiative to ask some soldiers to build siege weapons, implement psychological attack tactics and guard against night attacks by the Wei army.

On the other hand, Zhao Tuo and the Qin army were cultivating energy, preparing to break through the city first on the second day.

After one night, most of the guards on the top of the city did not sleep well, and there were many who had two hearts. It was the time when the Qin army broke the city in one fell swoop.

"Second and third sons, today is the day to break the city and make meritorious service!"

"Those who enter will make meritorious deeds, and those who retreat will be killed immediately!"

Yang Xiong, the master of the two or five hundred, gave the order to attack in high spirits.

With the beating of the drum, Zhao Ben ordered his soldiers to launch an attack from the west of the city where Zhang Er was personally stationed.

They pushed the siege engine built overnight.

That is to say, a large wooden stake is placed on a beam, and a wooden wheel is placed underneath, which is pushed by a villager to hit the city gate.

At the same time, other soldiers charged forward carrying bamboo and wooden ladders.

Amidst the sound of war drums, Qin Jun's momentum was astonishing.

Zhang Er stood at the head of the city, frowning tightly.

"There are about 600 to [-] people here... How many Qin troops are there in the south of the city?"

Standing at the top of the city, he roughly calculated the number of Qin soldiers in the west of the city with just one glance.

A close friend on the side said: "Mr. Zhang, there should be around 500 people in the south of the city. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang. We have [-] young and strong guards there. With the number of people and the superiority of the city defense, nothing will happen."

Zhang Er frowned, and glanced at the general flag behind the Qin army in the west of the city.

He sneered and said, "Hmph, although the Qin army's general flag is here, it's probably just a cover. The west of the city is just a feigned attack. The real purpose of the Qin army is to attack Waihuang from the south of the city. Although there are [-] young men there, I'm afraid I don't know how many people ran away after meeting each other."

"Liu Ji, take a hundred county soldiers and knights to the south of the city to support!"

Zhang Er thought of Liu Ji's rhetoric yesterday, thinking that this person must have the heart to defend the city to the death, and with him taking the lead in guarding the south of the city, he would definitely be able to persist longer.

When he escapes, Liu Ji will surely buy himself some time.

"only!"

Liu Ji replied loudly, a smile flashed in his eyes.

He already has an idea in his mind.
