High above the moon, in the large tent of the Wei army.
Green ants' newly fermented wine, a small red clay stove, accompanied by a few laughters from time to time.
People who don't know it might think that there are some old friends inside who haven't seen each other for many years and are just catching up.
Zhang Yi's face still showed a calm expression.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, he suddenly laughed and said: "Rhino Shou, it is indeed rhinoceros head..."
"However, Wei and Han are working so hard to attack Zhao. Can Zhao really still be dedicated to fighting with these two countries?"
Gongsun Yan shook his head and said nothing, looked at Zhu Wei and smiled, and ignored Zhang Yi. He sat down quietly on the couch and drank the sake in his hand alone, as if waiting for something.
Zhang Yi couldn't figure out for a while what medicine the two men were selling in their gourds, but he had already sent someone to inform Ying Ji to inform Ying Ji that the Qin army would never attack Jinyang City unless the Wei and Han coalition forces did not arrive.
This is also the capital that allows him to feel at ease at the moment.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard's report came from outside the tent again: "General, Ambassador Zhao wants to see you."
Ambassador Zhao? The nerves in Zhang Yi's brain suddenly became tense, and the trace of disguised calmness on his face suddenly disappeared.
Could it be...
"Please!" Zhu Wei and Gongsun Yan stood up at the same time and stepped forward to greet them.
The moment Zhang Yi saw the person coming, he couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up and said, "Senior brother?"
Su Qin entered the tent, bowed to several people present in turn, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Yi, who had a look of surprise on his face.
"Hahahahaha, junior brother, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" Su Qin said with a smile.
Zhang Yi also came to his senses, bowed to Su Qin and said, "Yi should have guessed a long time ago that the person behind this conspiracy is senior brother."
"Wu Anjun, please!" Zhu Wei said.
"please."
Zhang Yi immediately asked: "I don't know, when did senior brother abandon Yan and join Zhao?"
Based on the news Zhang Yi received, Su Qin should still be retiring to the Kingdom of Yan honestly at this time. Why did he suddenly become the envoy of Zhao?
"Thanks to the King of Zhao for not giving up, Brother Yu has returned to Zhao when the Five Kingdoms become kings." Su Qin didn't hide anything, and it seemed that there was nothing to hide at this time.
Zhang Yi was suddenly shocked. How could he not see at this time that these three Jins had already planned this.
Wei and Han's attack on Zhao was probably superficial. No wonder the two armies worked so hard this time and attacked the city faster than Qin.
Careless!
Su Qin sat leisurely on the collapse. His face at this time looked obviously much younger than when he was in Yan Kingdom.
Su Qin bowed to Gongsun Yan and said, "Rhino Shou, we said goodbye in the past. How have you been doing well in recent years?"
Su Qin and Gongsun Yan have long been familiar with each other. When Su Qin first joined forces in the past, he had dealt with Gongsun Yan and was considered an old rival.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yi was able to enter Qin and squeeze out Gongsun Yan, and it was also Su Qin's contribution.
Gongsun Yan smiled and returned the greeting.
Although they were rivals in the past, the two of them were clearly on the same front and conspiring together.
"Senior brother has done a great job this time. He has turned a loss into a profit, leveraged his own strength, and Yi has learned a lesson... In the past, senior brother helped Yi enter Qin, why bother pushing him everywhere now." Zhang Yi sighed.
"Hahaha, junior brother, there is no need to act like this. Brother Yu really hopes that junior brother will make great achievements and achieve revenge in his life. But now, you and I each serve our master, and we should be loyal to our duties... I hope junior brother will understand." Su Qin said slowly.
"Hahahahaha..." Zhang Yi burst out laughing, "Each one serves his master and is loyal to his duty. Yi wants to make a bet with senior brother, does senior brother dare?"
"Oh? Why bet?" Su Qin said playfully.
"Qin, Jin, victory or defeat!" Zhang Yi said.
The corner of Su Qin's mouth raised slightly, and he said slowly: "No need, I think junior brother still doesn't know that the Zhao army has defeated Loufan, and now King Zhao is personally leading the Zhao army towards Jinyang."
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, but his tone remained unhurried: "Brother, why do you need to be alarmist?"
"Are you alarmist?" Su Qin turned around and threw a piece of silk to Zhang Yi and said, "This is a letter personally written by King Zhao to Brother Yu. Junior Brother will know it as soon as he reads it."
Zhang Yi glanced at the other party, stood up and took the silk book.
Su Qin chuckled lightly and continued: "Junior brother may not know yet, but the Qin army has already arrived at Jinyang City at this time..."
Zhang Yi shook his head and said nothing.
Without waiting for Zhang Yi to finish reading, Su Qin continued: "I forgot to tell my junior brother. On the way here, Brother Yu happened to encounter a few spies riding in the Wei army..."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Yi, but also Gongsun Yan and Zhu Wei were shocked.
"Someone, bring me here!"
As soon as Su Qin finished speaking, several soldiers walked in outside the tent.
In their hands, several delicate naked women were tightly bound with iron chains.
Several people in the tent immediately opened their eyes and glanced at the woman's sensitive areas.
Of course, given their status, they naturally disdained the naked bodies of these female spies. What they were looking at was the horrific spider tattoo on the private parts of the spies’ thighs.
Snare!
Gongsun Yan and Zhu Wei immediately looked at each other, then turned to look at Zhang Yi.
But seeing Zhang Yi at this time, he had collapsed on the soft ground like a deflated rubber ball.
The two immediately understood the reason.
so close!
If these snare assassins were allowed to pass the information to the ears of the Qin army, the plan would be completely in vain, and they might even be violently attacked by the Qin army.
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but glance at Su Qin, and then bowed solemnly to each other.
Su Qin hurriedly stood up and saluted in return. He did not expect that the person behind this mysterious assassin organization's web was actually the State of Qin. Fortunately, he was born in this field and has always been wary of his junior brother. At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate established by Zhao Guoxin was really good at discovering these suspicious little bugs from the sea of people.
Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
Su Qin waved to the guards and dragged the woman out of the tent.
Then he said to the collapsed Zhang Yi: "Junior brother is in the camp, waiting for the victory of the army."
Then he asked Gongsun Yan: "How is the arrangement with Xishou?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu'an, I have sent a letter to invite Yingji, and we will launch an attack on Jinyang early tomorrow morning." Gongsun Yan replied truthfully.
"Okay! The rhinoceros is the first to win this battle. I will report the truth to King Zhao! Tomorrow King Zhao will personally lead the Zhao cavalry to destroy the Qin army together with Han and Wei!" Su Qin nodded.
Zhang Yi stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Gongsun Yan, Zhu Wei! Aren't you two afraid of causing trouble for Wei and Han after the war between Qin and Han?"
Gongsun Yan chuckled, shook his head slightly and said, "Yes, by then, I'm afraid Qin will not be able to choose its own troubles..."
"you!"
"Come here!" Zhu Wei ordered the guards who had been waiting in the tent for a long time: "Invite Xiangbang to be imprisoned in the army and wait for him. After Qin is defeated, Xiangbang will be sent back to Qin!"
…
…
The sky breaks at dawn, the morning sun breaks through the fog, the cool breeze blows away the clouds, and wisps of soft light slowly rise, exuding a dense glow.
Outside Jinyang City.
In the northeast corner of Jinyang City, gray dust and fog lingered in the air.
"Break the city!" With the sharp shout from the Qin army, the long-standing stalemate was about to break out!
"kill!"
"kill……"
Amidst the loud sound of trumpets, the Qin army under the city suddenly swarmed up like ants to attack. The main tool was naturally the ladder.
Thick smoke billowed over the towering Jinyang City, and the sound of killing was loud. Countless large Qin army troops surrounded the four city gates of Jinyang and attacked from all sides.
I saw people crawling everywhere on the high city wall. Looking at this battle, the Qin army was using the most conventional siege tactic: the ant attack tactic.
Countless rockets were flying in the sky in the distance. The entire Jinyang City was like a fireworks tube exploding, and the rockets were like dense flying sparks. Fires flashed above and below the city, and black smoke rose everywhere.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Qin army climbed towards the ladder regardless of their own safety.
Rolling logs and stones were smashed down on the city wall, and people kept falling from the air.
The most unbearable thing to watch is that Zhao Jun on the city poured tung oil down on the city from time to time and caught fire. Those Qin soldiers who were burned were rolling around under the city wall. .
A group of people pushed a cowhide cart close to the city gate. There were stone holes on both sides of the city gate where oil was poured. After a while, the cart turned into a pile of blazing firewood.
The Qin army advanced one after another, and there were constant casualties.
The battlefield looked like purgatory on earth, extremely tragic.
Jinyang ordered Zhao An to stand at the top of the city with a solemn face.
The shouts of killing below the city shook the sky, and from time to time, a few arrows missed and flew past his body.
At this time, the veteran general was fully clothed in armor, holding a long sword in his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at the Qin army's men advancing under the city, unmoving.
Pots of tung oil burned in front of him, and the smoke and black smoke from the burning tung oil filled the air.
Zhao An let out a breath of mist in his mouth, rubbed his skinny hands, took the bow and arrow from the guard, calmly pulled out the bowstring, aimed at the Qin army's ladder on the side, put his thumb lightly, and the arrow shot out of the air. .
A raging fire suddenly ignited on a siege ladder, and the Qin soldiers attached to it suddenly screamed loudly, turning into balls of flame and falling from the top.
"Power! Power! Power!" A burst of shouting immediately broke out from the top of the city.
The soldiers of the Zhao army were still smashing the porcelain jars below, and the tung oil in the jars poured out and immediately added to the fire.
The fire immediately spread to the bottom of the ladder. The Qin soldiers fled in all directions and ran towards the slope of the base. Many Qin soldiers were climbing up the city wall with their shields.
The entire city wall was filled with smoke, and arrows flew in all directions like locusts.
The scene on the base was even worse. The two sides were separated by a wall, stabbing each other with spears. The arrows in the air were missing, the javelins were very dense, and the shouts and screams had already resounded throughout the world.
As soon as a Qin soldier rushed to the top of the city, he was stabbed through by a Zhao Jun soldier who was waiting for him with a long spear.
"Ah!!" Qin Shi roared, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth, picked up two Zhao soldiers, and screamed as he climbed down the high wall!
Under the corners on both sides of the fortress, corpses have piled up like mountains!
The city wall of Jinyang has been built several times by the State of Zhao, and it is now a majestic city with a wall height of more than two feet.
But it doesn't seem to be that high now. The corpses have been piled up on the wall without knowing it. In order to push the ladder to the city wall, the Qin army directly covered the corpses with soil to build a road. Large slopes were formed outside the city wall, swallowing The height of the city wall.
"Woo..." The horn sound sounded for a long time from behind, the Qin army beat the drums, Sima Cuo drew his sword and shouted: "Go forward in order!"
"Kill!" Qin Jun shouted again, waving the military flag, and the gun and shield soldiers in front took the lead in rushing towards the base. But when people climbed up the slope of the base, the faces of the soldiers turned a lot whiter.
It seems that he is not as enthusiastic as before.
There was no soil to be seen on the slope, it was all dead people! People could only use their hands and feet to climb up from the pile of dead people.
The fighting intensified, and all I could hear were shrill and high-pitched screams!
At this moment, a deputy general walked up to the city wall quickly and whispered a few words in Zhao An's ear.
Without saying a word, Zhao An dropped the crossbow in his hand and turned around to leave. He got off the city wall, jumped onto his horse vigorously, and a small group of cavalry roared away.
On both sides of the street, a group of strong men were diligently banging armor and weapons. Nowadays, many private houses in the city have been requisitioned and turned into military supplies depots.
When he walked to the door, his trusted lieutenant general who had been with him for a long time came forward and said: "General, all the prisoners in Jinyang City Prison have been released! Together with the strong men recruited, we have an army of five thousand people."
Zhao An nodded slightly and walked straight into the lobby. Several lieutenants in armor and stomach and two retainers in robes stood up and bowed.
Zhao An waved to a few people, turned around and asked, "Where are the Wei and Han coalition forces?"
Hou Zheng stepped forward and reported: "The combined forces of Wei and Han have crossed the Fen River. They are now less than five miles away from Jinyang and are about to join forces with the Qin army."
After Zhao An heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
As the supreme commander of Hedong, he naturally knew about the conspiracy with Han and Wei. However, only his second and third confidants in the army could know such confidential matters. Originally, he was worried that the plan would change, but now it seems that he was completely overly worried.
Then the planned plan was completely pulled out.
"Send my military order, and as soon as the Wei and Han coalition forces arrive, we will start a battle in Kaicheng!"
This battle must bite off a piece of Qin's flesh.
*****
The Qin army was in the formation, Yingji stood on the chariot, looking solemnly at the battle ahead.
The situation now looks a little bad. The Qin army has been attacking the city for two consecutive hours. Except for a pile of corpses left outside the city wall, they have not made any achievements so far.
Zhao Jun was not tired at all now. The soldiers of Qin Army were stabbed down by spears just as they rushed to the top of the city risking their lives.
The city wall of Jinyang is too high and too strong.
Yingji knew very well that it was not easy to attack a heavily defended city, and even if he was unlucky, he would not be able to do so for a few years.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Perhaps, the Qin army should change their tactics. Although the sons of Qin were not afraid of death, such a wasted sacrifice made Ying Ji feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
Just when he was about to give the order to withdraw his troops, several cavalry scouts suddenly came from a distance and reported loudly: "Commander Zuo, the combined forces of Wei and Han have arrived three miles away from Jinyang!"
Are you here? Yingji turned his head and looked into the distance, where the looming loess filled the sky.
Ying Ji immediately ordered: "You will immediately meet with the generals of the Wei and Han armies and pass our military order to attack the west gate of Jinyang!"
"Here!"
