The night gradually deepened, and the remaining tens of thousands of Qin troops finally entered Fangling City.
However, the Qin army who luckily escaped and ascended to heaven were all immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster. How could they find that there were five hundred elite Zhao troops led by Zhao Wei hidden in this huge army.
Following the command of the Qin army general, the curling smoke rose slowly.
It was a big pain for Zhao Wei and his group of heavy troops, who were almost in a hurry to send food to the Huotou Camp of the Qin Army.
However, for Zhao Wei and the elite Zhao army, this is the happiest thing.
Because of the transportation of grain, the group quickly gained a general understanding of the layout of the entire Qin camp. More importantly, as long as they carried grain, they could reach almost anywhere they wanted to go, even the city gate.
This is simply the best news for Zhao Wei and others.
There is even a benefit that even Zhao Wei and others did not realize: because of the process of transporting food, Zhao Wei and others showed their faces in front of many Qin troops. Naturally, during the subsequent escape, they did not know what was going on. The Qin army also regarded Zhao Wei and others as their own without hesitation.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After eating the Qin army's millet indiscriminately, Zhao Wei and others even took the initiative to take on the task of delivering meals to the various armies.
After a while, Zhao Wei led more than 40 people carrying burdens and swaggered to the east tower.
The remaining officers and soldiers of the Zhao army, including a group disguised as Min Zhuang, all put on the clothes of the Qin army and quietly approached the east gate.
While smiling and distributing millet dumplings to the soldiers of the Qin army, Zhao Wei pricked up his ears and listened to the movements outside the city gate.
He is waiting for the clatter of Zhao Jun's horse hooves. Once he hears it, he can immediately rise up, kill people and seize the door, all in one go. It can also complete the task of seizing the door at the minimum cost.
But if there is no message from outside the door after he distributes the millet, Zhao Wei must take action.
After all, even with heavy troops, frequent visits to the city gates are bound to attract suspicion.
But in that case, what he has to do is not only seize the gate, but also guard the city gate and wait for the arrival of the army. In that case, more troops will inevitably be consumed.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
Looking at the wooden barrel that was about to bottom out, Zhao Wei also took a deep breath, and then secretly winked at the few people he brought with him, indicating that they were ready to take action.
Immediately, the elite troops of the Zhao army began to slowly approach the Qin soldiers still standing guard and the corner where weapons were piled.
At this time, although the familiar sound of horse hooves had not been heard outside the gate, there was a sharp shout from the top of the city tower!
"Enemy attack!"
Immediately afterwards, bursts of warning drums poured down from the tower.
It was too late, but soon, as soon as the Qin army below heard the warning drum, they no longer cared about the millet in their hands, threw down the millet, picked up the spear next to them, pulled out the long sword at the waist, and wanted to return. In the city gate cave.
However, the soldiers of the Qin army were fast, but Zhao Wei and his elite soldiers were faster.
Before the soldiers of the Qin army could touch the pile of spears, the spears were taken by the Zhao army. There was no time to react, but the tip of the spear rushed towards him.
The horrified Qin Army soldiers had no time to react, and the sharp spearhead had already penetrated the thin armor.
When he looked down, he saw blood flowing out from the circular wound.
With a "pop" sound, the spear was pulled out from the body. Looking at the blood floating in the air, the person holding the spear was the same comrade who had just given him some rice.
Emotions such as astonishment, bewilderment, and confusion surged into my heart, and in an instant, these emotions dissipated ruthlessly along with the loss of strength.
Zhao Wei, who was beating the millet, kicked the wooden barrel containing millet into the crowd, and took advantage of the chaos to pull out the long sword from the waist of the nearest officer.
With a flick of his backhand, the officer's throat was cut with the sword.
Following the force of the blow, Zhao Wei smoothly sent the long sword forward. The Qin soldier who had just thrown down the millet and was about to pick up the weapon was immediately stabbed to the core.
Kicking over the long table in front of him, Zhao Wei pulled out the long sword with both hands, and then it flew left and right, and two more people fell to the sword in an instant.
It was not until this moment that the Qin army officers and soldiers present reacted.
However, most of the positions where weapons were stacked were occupied by Zhao Wei and his men. There were only a few officers with swords, and they immediately became the targets of Zhao Wei and others.
Almost every one of them fell into a pool of blood.
Obviously, although the Qin soldiers with bare hands had a numerical advantage, they were no match for Zhao Wei's dozens of men.
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qin Army were not fools. Immediately, the remaining soldiers of the Qin Army shouted: "Spies! Come and catch the spies!"
It should be said that the Qin army's soldiers responded very quickly.
In such a situation, it is better to call for help immediately than to fight pointlessly.
Although the Zhao army was attacking outside the city, inside the city, at least at this time, the Qin army still had an absolute advantage.
Well, at least that's the theory.
It's a pity that theory is only theory because it lacks the link of practice, and in practice, accidents will always happen.
As the soldiers of the Qin Army under the city gate shouted to catch spies, hundreds of Qin Army soldiers soon surrounded the city gate.
Immediately, the original Qin army officers seemed to have found a backbone, and slowly retreated backwards, trying to seek protection from their comrades.
But before he even took two steps, an accident happened again.
The sharp sword actually penetrated from his chest.
The disbelieving Qin Army soldiers slowly turned their heads. The soldiers behind them in Qin Army uniforms smiled slightly, showing two rows of slightly yellowed teeth, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm from Zhao."
After the words fell, full of regret and disbelief, the soldiers of the Qin army fell helplessly into a pool of blood.
It turned out that while Zhao Wei was distributing the corn and dishes, other soldiers under Zhao Wei had quietly approached the east gate. Seeing the Qin army shouting to catch the spies, Zhao Jun's soldiers rushed forward. .
In a matter of seconds, the few soldiers of the Qin army were strangled to death by the Zhao army in an instant.
At this time, the rest of the Qin army was still immersed in confusion. Many Qin soldiers even thought that the spies had been eradicated, and then returned to their posts.
Of course, many Qin troops continued to come to the east gate for reinforcements.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhao Wei. The most important city gate has completely fallen into his control.
Without any delay, Zhao Wei's voice quickly sounded: "The first team will open the door with me, the second team will be on guard, and the third, fourth, and fifth teams will evacuate to the west gate immediately."
"Yes." All the Zhao army elites agreed in unison.
"Tie up the white cloth!" Zhao Wei ordered again while running towards the city gate: "Don't let your family be chopped down."
"Yes." Zhao Jun's soldiers immediately agreed with a smile and quickly tied up the white cloth.
The sound of "squeak" sounded quickly.
The heavy city gate was then slowly opened. Through the increasingly wide crack in the door, Zhao Wei clearly saw that the red torch was less than 200 steps away from the city gate.
At this time, the reinforcements of the Qin army finally arrived outside the city gate entrance, and then formed a group with the Zhao army guarding the entrance.
Looking from a distance, it looked like there was an internal strife in the Qin army.
This also caused the Qin army that arrived later to dare not easily join the battle group. There is no way, the Qin army officers and soldiers are also afraid of helping the wrong person!
In addition, Zhao Jun's troops were extremely elite. Even though the Qin Army had a numerical advantage, it was unable to attack at all for a while. This also gave Zhao Wei sufficient time to open the city gate.
And as the city gate creaked open, the red torch light shone through the city gate hole into the eyes of all the Qin Army officers and men. Only then did the Qin Army officers and soldiers confirm that the enemy was guarding the city gate.
Immediately, under the leadership of their respective commanders and chiefs, a large number of Qin troops attacked the Zhao soldiers in a mighty manner.
But obviously, by this time, it was already too late.
Zhao Wei, with a group of people inside the gate, had returned to the inside of the city gate, and collided with the oncoming Qin reinforcements.
The broadsword swept across and killed several people in an instant. However, Zhao Wei did not want to resist the attack of thousands of Qin troops. Of course, the "clack-clack" of horse hooves behind him also told him: Your mission is over. .
"Disperse!" Zhao Wei shouted loudly while waving the long sword.
Immediately, after hearing the order, the elite Zhao army began to disperse to both sides automatically.
As the Zhao army withdrew, the line facing the city gate was quickly broken through by the Qin army.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Qin army immediately passed through the passage left by the Zhao army and rushed toward the city gate.
However, before the Qin army arrived, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
A group of black shadows instantly shrouded the heads of all the Qin army soldiers.
The sound of "Herod"'s horse's neighing reached the eardrums, and Zhao Jun's long sword had already cut straight down.
With blood splattering everywhere, Zhao Jun's cavalry jumped high and ran deeper into Fangling City on Qin Jun's corpse.
The city gate was broken, and even the Qin army was unable to stop the Zhao army from advancing.
Unexpectedly, the Qin army, which had not collapsed after several days of fleeing, fell into collapse after seeing the light and falling into darkness.
Also in the collapse of the Qin army, Zhao Wei and his two elite teams were also mixed into the defeated army.
Of course, there were three more teams, which headed towards the west of the city early.
The general of the Qin army who received the news that the east gate of the city had been breached also immediately realized that Fangling could no longer be defended. Before he even had time to understand how the city gate was lost, the Qin army commander had already led his soldiers towards the west gate.
Fortunately, when the Zhao army arrived, most of the Qin army had already used their food, which prevented them from going hungry during their escape.
When the west gate opened wide, tens of thousands of Qin troops swarmed around their general and fled out of the city.
Obviously, the Qin army was completely in chaos at this time.
And this is what Zhao Wei wants to see most...
