Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 818

Inside and outside the city, the killing still hasn't stopped.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Wu army, the soldiers of the Qin army on the top of the city were all fighting trapped beasts.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

The sharp sword cut through the breastplate, and a stream of thick blood immediately gushed out, flushing the face of a Wu soldier.

Qin Bing on the opposite side let out a wail after being severely injured in his chest, but still had a stern look on his face. He grabbed the enemy's bronze sword, bit it, and fell to the city with him in his arms.

At this moment, countless soldiers of the Wu army climbed up the ladder.

In order to prevent these Wu soldiers from climbing to the top of the city, the Qin soldiers in charge of guarding the city fought back.

Spoon after spoonful of hot water poured down, scalding the soldiers of Wu army to wailing again and again, their skin was scalded on a large area, and they rolled down, knocking down many robes.

It's okay to use hot water, Qin Jun even used the "golden juice"!
What is "golden juice"?
This is a powerful weapon for defending the city, and it is also quite vicious.

The so-called golden juice actually refers to the heated and boiled dung juice (mixed with feces and urine, and some even put oil).

Although the ingredients of the golden juice are very simple and can be taken anywhere, its power is astonishing. As long as someone is scalded by this hot golden juice, most of them cannot be saved.

Because the hot gold juice will cause scalds to the human body, even large-scale scalds all over the body, killing people.

And this is not over yet, after the golden juice enters the wound of the human body, it will cool down soon, and then multiply all kinds of dirty bacteria, infecting the human body, and there is no antidote for this biochemical weapon...

"Fire arrows!"

"Hold on! Don't take half a step back!"

The Qin general who was in charge of defending the city shouted loudly and directed the battle.

Unexpectedly, a crossbow bolt hit his neck unexpectedly, and his voice stopped abruptly.

After five steps of blood spattering, General Qin's head tilted, and he fell straight into the pool of blood, dying of breath.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded suddenly at the gate of Haocheng, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which was deafening and frightening.

what happened?

A series of explosions, accompanied by smoke, puzzled many people.

It wasn't until seeing a large number of soldiers of the Wu army entering along the blasted city gate that the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city suddenly realized.

"Wu Jun came in!"

"Oh no!"

The moment the city gate was blown down, it declared that the city belonged to Qin State no longer.

On the military chariot, Gongzi Zhang, who saw this scene, gave the order for a general attack, causing the whole army to attack and captured Haocheng in one go.

……

After Gong Zizhang captured Haocheng, he led his army non-stop to successfully capture Fengcheng, making Fenghao the frontier base for the Wu army to attack Qin.

Wu Jun's offensive can be said to be indomitable and did not encounter much resistance, but Sun Wu, as the main general, did not take it lightly.

At this time, in Wu Jun's central army tent, Sun Wu sat on the commander's seat, and on the left and right sides, there were Sun Di, Gongzi Zhang, Wu Liang and other young Wu generals.

After listening to the report from the secret agents of the Black Ice Terrace, Sun Wu couldn't help frowning, his face quite solemn.

"Second and third sons, you already know the situation. The Qin people deliberately gave up the two places of Hao and Feng, and retreated to the Jingyang area north of the Wei River."

Sun Wu said in a deep voice: "According to the exact information I got, the Qin army north of the Weishui River has no less than [-] troops, and its strength is still continuously increasing."

"The Qin people are almost the masters of the whole country in Jingyang."

Hearing this, all the generals present could not help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Wu Liang got up and said: "Guo Lieutenant, the general thinks that our army should concentrate its superior forces to break through the Qin army's Weishui defense line as soon as possible, drive straight in, and destroy its main force."

"If the main force of the Qin people is lost in this battle, the country will not be far from subjugation."

"The last general will second the proposal!"

Sun Di followed and said: "At present, our army is in the land of Fenghao, and there are about 20 horses, which can be said to be twice that of the Qin army."

"My Wu army is sharp in combat and has high morale, far better than the Qin army."

"The enemy is weak and we are strong, and we have the advantage. The captain of the country must not miss this opportunity."

Generals including Wu Liang and Sun Di believed that they should break through the Weishui defense line of the Qin people in one go and completely annihilate their main force.

But, is it really that easy?

"Master Zhang, what do you think?"

Sun Wu set his sights on Gong Zizhang.

Wu Zhang is the second son of Qing Ji and Queen Ji Kui. He is the eighth eldest son. Although he is young, he has already been entrusted with important tasks.

This time, he was used by Sun Wu as a vanguard general. He won the first battle for Wu Jun's battle to destroy Qin, which can be said to have shown a good military talent.

Seeing Sun Wu questioning himself, Young Master Zhang stood up, bowed to Sun Wu and said, "Guowei, I think Qin people's Weishui defense line is not easy to break through."

"In this battle, the general of Qin's army is Zihu, who has a deep friendship with my great Wu. He is familiar with the tactics of Wu's army, and he also understands the Guowei better."

"After conquering Fengcheng, I disguised myself and went to the north bank of the Weishui River to observe, and arrested two Qin soldiers to spy on the news."

After a pause, Young Master Zhang narrowed his eyes and said, "From my point of view, the Qin people's fortifications are strong and heavily guarded. From the Jingyang and Gaoling lines to the north of the Wei River, there are no less than a hundred Qin army camps."

"Even if our army has Zhentianlei to assist in the battle, and the soldiers use their lives, I am afraid that they will not be able to easily break through the Weishui defense line of the Qin people. What's more, there are very few Zhentianlei left..."

Hearing this, Sun Wu glanced at Mr. Zhang appreciatively.

Qingji's sons are almost all dragons and phoenixes.

Especially the older sons Xi, Zhang, and Fan are extraordinary in their ability to lead troops and fight.

Gong Zizhang is well versed in the principle of "know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger", so he sneaked into the enemy's hinterland alone without avoiding danger, in order to spy on the enemy's situation so as to formulate the best countermeasures.

rare!

It is rare!

Sun Wu looked around for a week, looked at the generals of the Wu army present, and said in a deep tone: "Second and third sons, as Mr. Zhang said, the people of Qin want to fight a war of attrition with our army in Weishui."

"The longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our Wu army."

"It's a major flaw of our army that we can't keep up with the supply of food, fodder and supplies during the expedition. For the current plan, how can we make a quick decision?"

"Guo Lieutenant."

Wu Liang said: "Young Master Xi must have already opened the Chencang Road, and the plank road in the middle of Shu can lead directly to Qin. At that time, Young Master Xi will lead his elite troops to pass through Nanshan Mountain and go straight to the confidant of Qin!"

"In the opinion of the last general, our army should immediately divide up and march westward, and the troops will come under the city of Yong."

"If the capital is besieged, Zihu must not be able to watch the fire from the other side. If the Qin army north of the Wei River moves, they will definitely show their weaknesses. Our army should wait for the opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Qin people in one fell swoop."

Is Wu Liang's countermeasure feasible?
feasible!

After all, to the north of the Weishui River, there were hundreds of camps of the Qin army, and they were at odds with each other. If the Wu army blindly attacked and tried to break through the defense line of the Weishui River, the final result would be to be led by the Qin people and fall into a passive position.

Moreover, the 20 Wu army was out fighting, and the pressure on logistical supplies was too great.

Once the war fails to make progress and morale is drained, it will not be easy for Sun Wu to destroy the main force of the Qin army.

"inappropriate."

After pondering for a while, Young Master Zhang retorted: "Young Master Xi's ten thousand elite soldiers came out of Chencang Road, and they were used as a surprise army."

"If our army divides up and advances westward, it will definitely reveal our surprise attack intention. At that time, Young Master Xi will lead his troops out of Chencang Road, it will be superfluous and will not have the desired effect."

"Guowei, I think that after defeating the main force of the Qin army north of the Weishui River, we should send troops to cooperate with Gong Zixi to attack Qinzhong, and the battle will determine the universe!"

Hearing this, Sun Wu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
