"promise."
After giving the order, Sima of the Chinese Army began to prepare. Zhao Shu said to Li Xin and others: "Whether it is the Southern Army or the Northern Army going north, the cavalry and infantry are separated."
"Each of us will return to our own homes."
"All armies are classified according to different military branches, and then wait for orders from the shogunate."
"promise."
An hour later, Zhao Shu appeared on the cloud chariot that replaced the command chariot, looking at Handan not far away.
Because it was already the fourth watch, when the sky and the earth were completely dark, it was difficult to see clearly even with the starlight in the sky.
There is no moon tonight.
"General, do you want to hang up the five-color lanterns immediately?" Sima of the Chinese Army came over and asked Zhao Shu.
"No need yet."
Zhao Shu said softly: "Once the five-color lanterns are hung, they will be noticed by Zhao Jun at the top of the city. Now is not the time."
"Send the order, the equipment battalion, push the cloud chariot and siege chariot to the foot of Handan City, and at the same time, the soldiers in light clothes quickly follow."
"At the same time, the catapults and cavalry are ready."
"promise."
Zhao Shu issued the order, and the army quickly moved towards Handan City. From the fourth to the fifth watch, it was the time when the army was most exhausted.
What's more, Zhao Jun has experienced continuous battles and is already exhausted.
Half an hour later, the messenger reported back: "General, all the armies have reached their designated positions."
"Send the order, the cloud chariot approaches, the ladder is built, the soldiers in light clothes climb the city, the siege chariot soldiers wait for the military order, and then make the next move."
Zhao Shu looked at Handan City not far away, and issued military orders one after another: "At the same time, the five-color lanterns are ready, and they will take off as soon as the dead soldiers in light clothes are noticed."
"promise."
All the generals were in the military formation, and only Zhao Shu, his short soldiers, and some messengers were left on the command chariot.
Zhao Shu knew that unless it was daylight, the messengers would be useless. The difficulty of fighting at night was that he could only rely on five-color lanterns to command the army.
This further tests a general's commanding ability.
"General, can the soldiers in light clothes quietly open the city gate?" Fen was a little excited and asked Zhao Shu.
"It's hard."
Zhao Shu shook his head. Regarding this point, he did not give any hope. During the war, no matter how exhausted the Zhao army was, this was the time when the opponent was most vigilant.
It's good to be able to get close to the dead soldiers in light clothes. At most, they can kill them on the top of the city and want to open the city gate, unless they cooperate with each other from the inside out.
Obviously, in this war, due to Dun's weak exit early, there is no possibility of internal cooperation and external cooperation.
"This battle is destined to be a violent attack. There are many famous generals in the Zhao army. Even Guo Kai has experienced battle formations."
........
"Enemy attack——!" The huge voice set off a terrifying sound wave, waking up the sleeping Handan City.
When Zhao Shu saw the fire at the top of Handan City, he couldn't help but move towards Fen and said: "Immediately raise the five-color lanterns and order the siege vehicles to attack the city!"
"promise."
The dead soldiers in light clothes had just boarded the city and beheaded the Zhao soldiers. Not long after they started, they alerted the Zhao soldiers who were sleeping on the city.
The war became head-on.
Due to the large number of Qin troops who boarded the city, the city of Handan was in chaos, shouting for heaven and earth, and at this time, five-colored lantern holes were hung high, and siege engines were attacking.
Zhao Shu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he ordered decisively: "Follow the infantry, and then get on a siege vehicle--!"
"promise."
Sima of the Chinese Army fired a series of lanterns, and the Qin Army's officers and soldiers attacked more fiercely, especially the infantry who participated in climbing the city. For a time, the initiative in the war was occupied by the Qin Army.
"General, Yang Duanhe has sent word that three thousand infantry have already boarded the city. At the same time, there are still infantry who are boarding the city in a steady stream."
After glancing at the ordering soldier, Zhao Shu was heartbroken: "Send the order, the infantry will continue to attack and ask them to open the city gate."
"Meanwhile the cavalry is preparing to enter the city."
"promise."
One after another, the lights were played, and the sky and the earth were dark. Only the top of Handan City was lit by fire, and rocks and trees poured down.
Two siege engines attacked, and the gate of Handan City was crumbling.
"Send the order and the cavalry will advance towards the city gate. Once the city gate is opened, they will immediately enter the city to control the Zhao Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion. The infantry will enter the city to buy time."
"promise."
"kill!"
The long sword was slashed out and killed the Zhao soldiers. Da Qin's infantry rushed towards the city gate and intertwined with the approaching Zhao army.
"Send the order, the infantry continue to climb the city through the ladder, occupy the top of Handan City, kill the Zhao army, and open the city gate for our army." Zhao Shu was keenly aware of the changes at the top of Handan City, and the military order popped out of his mouth.
"promise."
Looking at the battle at the top of the city, Zhao Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The war was basically settled, and what was left was the war in Handan City.
The capture of Handan was not the end of the war, on the contrary it was the beginning.
Street fighting is the most dangerous and the most difficult to guard against.
"Crack!"
The city gate was knocked open by a siege vehicle. Zhao Shu looked at the open gate and gave a decisive order, saying: "The cavalry rushed out of the city, and the infantry entered the city in an orderly manner to start street fighting."
"Li Xin led the cavalry and besieged the Zhao Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xin Sheng led his troops to occupy the four gates and besieged Lian Po's Mansion."
"Yang Duanhe was responsible for leading the infantry to launch street fighting and gradually attack the Zhao army who was stubbornly resisting."
"promise."
Looking at the Sima of the Chinese army, Zhao Shu issued the last military order in a cold voice: "Command to all armies, anyone who is hostile to our army and has weapons in hand will be killed without mercy -!"
"promise."
........
When the army entered the city, Zhao Shu followed the Chinese army and continued to move towards the city gate. Since the top of Handan City was captured by the Qin army, there was no obstacle to the army's advance.
"Send the order, and the catapults will enter the city immediately and go to the palace of the King of Zhao, the Prime Minister's Palace, Lian Po's Palace, and Zhao Guozong's Palace. Tell them that their mission is not over yet."
"promise."
As the chariot moved forward, Zhao Shu was checking and filling in the gaps. He knew in his heart that Handan was extremely dangerous. This was the base camp of Zhao State, and anything could happen.
Even if he conquered Handan.
Maybe at dawn tomorrow, the Zhao people will be organized by some thoughtful people, and the whole people will fight bloody battles. It is very possible for such a thing to happen to the Zhao people.
After all, there are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yanzhao, and most of the people here are not afraid of death.
He ordered the three armies in the name of Meng Tian, so in this battle, he wanted to win heartily. Only in this way can he satisfy the King of Qin.
As soon as he thought about this, a smile appeared on Zhao Shu's lips. He knew in his heart that he was already halfway done.
Next, he just needs to follow the steps, and Zhao Guo Handan will become the thing in his palm.
Moreover, according to his observation, the losses in this battle were not much. After all, the night battle was equivalent to a night attack, and the Great Qin warriors took the initiative.
By the time Zhao Jun came to his senses, the dead soldiers in light clothes had already charged to the top of the city.
