Great Zhou Tianzi

After a morning of uninterrupted stone ball attacks, the outer city wall finally failed and collapsed.

"March!" Meng Ao ordered, and the pawns began to move forward.

Ji Jia, the warlord on the top of the city, has a bad heart. He saw the bravery of the Qin army yesterday, which left him with lingering fears. Without the support of the Wengcheng, how long can the inner city last?

"Defend!" Ji Jia also gave the order, and he was relieved that his morale was good, thanks to yesterday's victory.

A simple pavilion was erected on the high ground in the distance, and Ji Jie and Ji Xueling sat in it while drinking tea and watching the battle.

The soldiers on both sides worked very hard and gradually entered a stalemate. Qin soldiers climbed the city wall several times, but they were wiped out before they could hold on for long.

Meng Ao sat in the central army tent with a calm face, adjusting the attack direction from time to time.

Ji Jia brandished a long sword and joined the battle, and his morale rose a lot. Those who followed him were the private soldiers he raised, and these people worked harder than ordinary sergeants.

"Xiong Ba, go find General Zhao!" Ji Jie ordered: "Tell him to change to the Zhou army's equipment when he robs food, and to use the Zhou army's banner, so as not to give the Qin army an excuse. What about the gauntlet! Give this credit to Da Zhou, hehe!"

"Design!" Xiong Ba mounted his horse and galloped away.

The two sides fought for a whole afternoon, with corpses lying like mountains and blood flowing like rivers, the Qin army called for gold to withdraw.

When it was getting dark, the messenger came to report that the food transport team was attacked by a cavalry team of more than a thousand people. Most of the escort officers and soldiers were killed, and all [-] shi of grain and grass were robbed.

"It shouldn't be!" Sima Jing frowned and said, "Da Zhou only has such a small force, and they are all huddled in the king's city. How could there be a cavalry ambushing on the grain road? Could it be that they arranged it in advance? Impossible. , intelligence shows that Zhou Tianzi did not send cavalry before the war!"

Meng Ao made a mark on the map and said, "It's meaningless to talk about it now. What happened has already happened. How long can our food last?"

"Up to four days!"

"Send people back immediately to urge food, and send more people to protect along the way!"

"Yes!"

The food was robbed, and the expressions of all the generals became unnatural. Meng Ao said: "Don't let the soldiers know about this, so as not to damage their morale. Continue to attack the city tomorrow. If you can take the royal city within four days, even if the food is not enough." Delivered in time, we won't go hungry!"

"The general is wise!"

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ling entered Zhaocheng with grain and grass. The process of looting the grain went smoothly and he won at a small price.

"Hehe, General Zhao's first contribution to resisting the Qin Dynasty is none other than General Zhao!" Ji Jie looked at the grain piled up like a hill and said with a smile: "This is the grain for the Qin army for ten days, enough for the officers and soldiers of our two cities. One and a half months!"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Ling invites you to fight again!" Zhao Ling said confidently, "Qin will definitely send food over again, and I will go and rob the next batch of food!"

Ji Jie shook his head. It is impossible for the people of Qin to give you another chance. The next batch of food must be escorted by heavy soldiers, otherwise you will lose your wife and lose your army.

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we just watched the food delivered to the Qin army's camp?"

Of course not, Ji Jie made another plan, and this time Ji Jian led the troops to go there.

For three days in a row, the Qin army failed to break through the royal city, Meng Ao was in a state of anxiety, and the food and grass hadn't been delivered yet. If they couldn't arrive tomorrow, they would have to drink the northwest wind the day after tomorrow, and the army's morale would be in turmoil.

"Report..." A man with many burnt bodies and a smoky face knelt down in front of him, and said, "Report to the general, our grain transportation team went to Shigu and was ambushed by fire." , the general was shot to death on the spot, and all [-] shi of food and grass were burned! I waited for dozens of people to rush to kill them, and only then did I break out of the encirclement."

"What?" Meng Ao smashed the short couple in front of him with a slap.

The last time I was robbed, and this time I was burned, I let them do it both times. This is going to cut me off!

"Who did it?"

"They used the banner of the Great Zhou, and after they succeeded, they chanted Long Live the Emperor of Zhou together!"

"Impossible!" Sima Jing jumped up from his seat like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and said, "The emissary sent to Wangcheng before the battle reported that there was no such team in Da Zhou..."

"Shut up..." Meng Ao interrupted him, saying: "All I see is the facts, pass on my general's order, the army immediately withdraws from the camp for thirty miles, and postpones breakfast by an hour tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

The Qin army has retreated!

When the news reached Wangcheng, the whole city was erupting. Ji Jia didn't believe such a good thing, so she personally led the guards out of the city to investigate.

The scene of the Qin army's camp showed that they left in a hurry, and many tents were not dismantled in time. The scouts reported that the Qin soldiers [-] miles away continued to retreat after eating breakfast, and their destination should be Qinbian City [-] miles away.

"What happened that made Qin Bing leave in such a hurry?" Ji Jia was puzzled.

"What about the Qin army's camp?" asked the follower.

"Burn!" Ji Jia said without hesitation: "Is it possible to keep Qin Bing back and continue to live and set fire!"

Back in the royal city, Ji Jia learned from Fei Mo that the Qin army's food and grass had been robbed twice, and then she suddenly realized, and reported the truth to King Nan of Zhou.

King Zhou Nan was secretly happy that Ji Jie did not disappoint him, but when he heard that the two times were under the banner of Dazhou instead of Zhaocheng, he rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "This time we can force Retiring from the Qin army is thanks to the crown prince Ji Jia personally guarding the city, and the second son Ji Zhang went out to rob the city to rob grain, the widow has this second son, the Great Zhou will prosper!"

With a simple answer, Ji Jie's achievements were pinned on Ji Zhang's head. King Zhou Nan's thick skin was unique among the kings of all dynasties.

"The Son of Heaven is mighty, the Son of Heaven is mighty, the second son is mighty..." The officials began to shout.

King Zhou Nan was very happy, and waved his hand: "A banquet will be held tonight, and all the ministers will be feasted, and the meritorious soldiers will be rewarded!"

The so-called meritorious soldiers are naturally led by Ji Jia and Ji Zhang. No matter what the reward is, they are not from their own family. This business can be done.

The eyeliner informed Ji Jie of these things in time, and Ji Jian and Zhao Ling's teeth itched with hatred. If Ji Xueling hadn't been there, they would have cursed a long time ago.

"It doesn't matter!" Ji Jie looked quite openly, and said with a smile: "The real one can't be fake, the fake one can't be real, it seems that it will pay the water after a long time! That's good, at least Meng Ao won't take his anger out on us On the head, he has killed thousands of soldiers and lost [-] shi of food and grass, he will not let it go, after a little rectification, he will definitely come back after the food and grass are ready!"

Just as Ji Jie expected, Meng Ao ordered the army to rest in the border city for three days, and transport more food, grass and supplies to this place, and then marched into the royal city again three days later.
