Now that he decided to attack Shangjun to save Xianyang with the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, Zhang Han didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately rushed from Taiyuan County to Shangjun in the north.The people under his command originally wanted to follow Zhang Han back to Xianyang to save his family, but unexpectedly they got this order. Rumors arose in the army for a while, and some people spread that Zhang Han went to Shangjun not for a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but to encircle Wei and save Zhao. It was because he saw Fusu's strength that he wanted to surrender.These rumors made Zhang Han take a lot of effort to calm them down, and he came to the city of Shangjun along the way.

After he stationed his men and horses under the city, he ordered them to send a letter of war, but Chen Ping, who was guarding the city, ignored his challenge at all, and just sent all the men and horses left by Fusu to the top of the city.Looking at this posture, Zhang Han knew that the opponent was about to fight an offensive and defensive battle with him, so on the third day, he ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to charge up with ladders.The defenders in the city were always on guard against the attack of the Qin army. Seeing that they were attacking, they immediately blocked their approach with bows and crossbows. Give them a head-on blow.

Zhang Han's Qin army lost 6000 to [-] people after attacking for a day, but just like Fusu's attack on Hangu Pass that day, they couldn't even climb up the ladder, which made Zhang Han very angry. Some people went out, but the Shangjun City was still so difficult to attack.

In fact, it's also good that Fusu was prepared and did not take everyone to Qin, but left 6 or 2 people behind him.Although the troops were dispersed due to the presence of Shangjun, Beidi County and other counties in the north, because this Shangjun is the foundation of Fusu's current life, [-] troops were left here for defense.In fact, the original intention of Fusu was to prevent the Chu people or Qi people from attacking, but unexpectedly it became the Qin army against Zhang Han.Therefore, Zhang Han's plan that he thought he could take advantage of the situation completely failed. At this time, all he could do was to forcibly capture Shangjun.

Although Chen Ping was resourceful and far-reaching, he was not yet Zhang Han's opponent militarily. He also knew this very well, so he ordered people to ask for help from Beidi County and several other counties as soon as Zhang Han's army arrived.In particular, he asked for help from Meng Yi, the defender of the Northland, and Zhou Xing, who was in an unknown county in the north.Now in the rear of Fusu, the two of them are generals who can fight Zhang Han.

After sending people out to ask for help, Chen Ping began to write letters, and then sent information on the situation here to Fusu in Xianyang by means of flying pigeons, in order not to let Fusu who was fighting on the front line Worried about the safety here, and promised that if there is a change, he will send a letter to Fusu.The next step is to prepare a large number of defensive equipment, ready to fight to the death with the Qin army at any time.Fortunately, Fusu is deeply loved by the people here, so when they saw the Qin army attacking, all the people spontaneously transported equipment and food for the defenders, but within a day, Shangjun City had completely entered In wartime preparations, even the excrement juice used by Fusu in the past was prepared in several large tanks on the wall, ready to be boiled and poured down at any time.

Zhang Han didn't expect the opponent to prepare for the battle so quickly, and his troops suffered great losses in several sieges, but Zhang Han finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the ladder was finally on the top of the city.But what happened next caught him unexpectedly. As soon as the soldiers climbed halfway up the ladder, they saw the defenders at the top of the city pouring hot yellow liquid down, and those Qin soldiers screamed and fell off the ladder. , its damage is much more powerful than that of ordinary boiling water.

Zhang Han hurriedly ordered people to rescue the injured soldiers, and found that their bodies were smelly and the scalded areas had begun to rot. These soldiers had completely lost their fighting ability.This surprised Zhang Han, but thinking of Xianyang's predicament today, he had to harden his heart and let the soldiers attack day and night, hoping to drag the defenders across the city with the advantage of numbers.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ping already guessed his thoughts, so he made adjustments accordingly.He ordered the defenders in the city to be divided into several groups, and they took turns to guard the city, while the others rested in the city.In this way, Zhang Han's plan to drag down the defenders will be self-defeating.Seeing the reaction of the defenders in the city, Zhang Han already guessed that his idea was completely defeated by the defenders in the city, so he sent a large army to attack the city gate again, trying to break through the city gate with absolute numbers.

Seeing that Zhang Han was only attacking the city gate, Chen Ping moved all the defensive equipment above the city gate and threw it at the Qin army.The two sides have been in a stalemate like this for nearly ten days. The walls of the Shangjun City are already scarred, but the Qin soldiers have never been able to achieve substantial results. Instead, they have lost tens of thousands of corpses under the city.

Zhang Han watched the time pass day by day, but he couldn't do anything about the city, so he couldn't help feeling anxious and angry.Every day he personally puts on and directs the army to attack the county city, but every time he sees the soldiers going to the city, there will be some defense equipment that has never been seen before on the city to fight them back.Sometimes it's the yellow dung juice, sometimes it's an extremely thick wooden stake full of copper thorns that can go up and down. . . . . .Every time, Qin Jun suffered a big loss and returned with success.

As the night fell, it was time to withdraw troops again. Zhang Han looked at the entrance of Shangjun City, which had been unable to attack for a long time, and let out a helpless sigh.At this time, his military advisor, Lu Jie, came to his side. In order to try every means to capture Shangjun City, Lu Jie was also exhausted, and did not sleep well for several nights.With bloodshot eyes, he looked at the defenders carrying equipment and corpses at the top of the city and said, "General, I've thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a solution to Xianyang's crisis."

Zhang Han was overjoyed when he heard the words, grabbed his hand and said, "What method do you think of to break this city? As long as you can break this Shangjun, I will listen to your plan no matter what." These days he has also been fighting for this city. It hurt my brain, so I was very excited to hear this.

Lu Jie shook his head and said: "I have no way to destroy this city. The fortifications of this city are several times stronger than those of Chudi, and the whole city is united as one. It is really an opportunity." His tone was full of resentment. and admiration.Chennai is because of his sense of inability to capture this city, and his admiration is because of the defenders in this city.

"Then you said just now that you can solve the crisis in Xianyang?" Zhang Han asked a little puzzled.

Lu Jie said: "General, you have completely confused saving Xianyang with destroying this city. In fact, saving Xianyang does not necessarily mean destroying the upper county city. If you don't destroy the upper county city, you can still solve Xianyang's crisis."

Zhang Han was confused by his words, "It is not necessary to destroy the Shangjun city to save Xianyang, but the danger of Xianyang can still be solved without destroying the Shangjun city." He asked, "What do you mean by this? Can you explain clearly?" some."

"General, you are completely fascinated by this difficult-to-conquer city. In fact, as long as Fusu knows that our army is attacking Shangjun, he will definitely worry about problems in his rear. In this way, he will definitely lead the army to come. In this way, the crisis in Xianyang City will be resolved. As for whether our army has captured this city, Fusu will not consider it."

These words were like enlightenment, and Zhang Han woke up immediately. He clapped his hands and said: "Mr. The news that Shangjun is being attacked has spread to Xianyang."

Now that he had made up his mind that it was not necessary to capture Shangjun, Zhang Han's offensive slowed down. In the next few days, the Qin army only besieged the city symbolically, but no longer attacked desperately, which also gave the Qin army a good rest. .

But at this time, Zhou Xing and Meng Yi each brought 1 horses to the rear of the Qin army quietly, ready to attack the Qin army at the right time.And Chen Ping in the city has also received their letter from Feige, and also gathered the defenders, preparing to attack Zhang Han's army from three sides and completely defeat Zhang Han's army as soon as he finds an opportunity.

Ziying in Xianyang City is very nervous now, because Fusu's army outside the city is already preparing to attack Xianyang City.However, there were less than [-] Qin soldiers in the city. Although he forcibly captured many civilians to make up for the number, he also knew that the role of these people was limited after all. He only hoped that Zhang Han's army would arrive soon.

After Fusu led the army to rest for two days, he finally decided to send troops to attack.He ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at Zhanianli with a powerful crossbow first, so that Qin Junfa could shoot arrows and throw stones and trees down the city, and then ordered the soldiers to charge up with giant logs and ladders.But what was unexpected was that the Qin army guarding the city were not frightened by the crossbow arrows that were shot up. They still pointed their heads and shot arrows at the Fusu army below the city.Fusu's pawns who rushed up just now suffered heavy losses, so Naxia Fusu had to call them back, and then ordered all the crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the city, to teach the Qin army a lesson.

Fusu didn't know that those who risked their lives to attack him just now were the people in Xianyang City, and behind them was a Qin soldier holding a sharp knife in his hand to force them to attack downward.In desperation, these people had no choice but to attack the Fusu army regardless of life or death.As a result, Fusu was really forced to retreat, which made the Qin soldiers guarding the city overjoyed, and they decided to do so in the future.

In the next few days, Xianyang City was defended by these people who were forced to do their best. This made Fusu very anxious, and he was still afraid that Zhang Han would suddenly kill him from behind.At this time, the pigeons from Shangjun had arrived, and Fusu was both happy and worried when he saw that Zhang Han had led troops to attack Shangjun as mentioned in the letter.The joy is that at least now I don't have to worry about Zhang Han attacking me at any time, but the worry is that I don't know if Shangjun City can hold it.But when he saw what Chen Ping said that he would pass on the letter to him if there was a change, he felt a little relieved. He still had a certain degree of confidence in the defensive power of Shangjun City and Chen Ping's ability. The soldiers and horses of the county, he thinks that there should be no loss in the county.However, just in case, Fusu asked the army to step up the attack and strive to take Xianyang as soon as possible.What he didn't know was that a trouble came at this moment.
