When Wang Li led his men to the top of the city, the Chu people had already withdrawn their troops and returned to their camp.Wang Li called the defenders at the top of the city and asked them, "How did the Chu people attack just now? How did you repel them?" The soldiers then told what happened just now, and finally said: "From our point of view, this time the Chu army's attack did not do their best. They retreated under our flurry of arrows, trees and stones, and even the troops did not lose much."

Looking at the camp of the Chu army outside the city, Wang Li felt uneasy again, and he ordered: "You must watch carefully the Chu army outside the city, and report to me in time if there is any change in them." Those soldiers He hurriedly agreed.

After walking down the wall, Zhao Bacai asked, "Is the general worried that the Chu people will attack aggressively?"

Wang Li nodded heavily: "Judging from the Chu people's attack just now, their purpose is to test whether our city has fallen into civil strife. Now that we are guarding strictly, they will think of other ways. And I The only weakness they can find in Handan City is that there are few defenders. If the Chu army attacks aggressively, we may not be able to defend the city. So I predict that within two days, the Chu army will definitely attack with all its strength."

Zhao Ba nodded in agreement: "The general's judgment is very correct, and I think so too. But there is one thing I want to tell the general, that is, our Handan City cannot be broken by anyone. It's not that Zhang Han used the strategy of attacking the west and attacking the city while I was not prepared. I'm afraid he may not be able to take down Handan in a month or two with the 10 horses in his hands. Although the number of people in the city is far less than then, And the people will not completely stand on the general's side, but relying on this high wall and thick city, as long as the general can't hold on, it will be so easy for the people of Chu to attack."

Wang Li glanced at Zhao Ba gratefully and said, "Thank you Brother Zhao for your encouragement, of course I know that this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are really too few soldiers in the city now, and my Daqin brigade is all there. The north is at war with the Xiongnu, so I don’t know when reinforcements will come to rescue them this time.” As generals who have recently surrendered, Fusu and the others will not reveal the most confidential and important news to Wang Li. So what he knows now is the same information as the Chu people, saying that a large number of people who were originally in the Central Plains were transferred to the northern frontier to fight the Huns.

Zhao Ba also knew this news, which can be judged from the situation in the city, because there used to be tens of thousands of horses in Handan City, but now there are only less than 1 people left. Obviously those Qin soldiers were picked away.But he couldn't do anything about this man's immediate matter, so he had to say: "General Wang, if you need help when the Chu people attack the city, you can tell me. Although I don't have any troops, I have a shoulder Strength, and my family members are also skilled in martial arts, so they can help with rough work when defending the city."

Wang Li hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much Brother Zhao. If Brother Zhao is really willing to help, please help appease the people in the city. Now the enemy we are facing is strong enough, I don't want anyone in the city to Make a mess."

Zhao Ba said with a smile: "Of course, but I would like to ask the general to release those prisoners first, in the hearts of the people in Ancheng." Wang Li also smiled and said: "It's natural, I will order them to be released. In this way, some people can be freed up to guard the city." The two walked while talking, and returned to the prefect's mansion in Handan City, Zhao Ba took his leave first.But Wang Li began to think about how to keep this Handan City for a longer time.

At this time, Xiang He outside the city was frowning. From the attack just now, he had seen that Handan City was still united as one, and there was no turmoil that he wanted to see. "Brother Zhuang, it seems that my strategy not only failed this time, but also dragged on for a few more days, so you order the soldiers to send troops to attack Handan City starting tomorrow. The only way to take down the city now is There is only one way to attack."

Xiang Zhuang opened his mouth to comfort Xiang He, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just looked at the Handan City towering in front of him with firm eyes, as if he was giving a final warning to the city: "I will definitely capture you!"

Early the next morning, with the sound of thunderous drums, the Chu army divided into three groups and launched a fierce attack on Handan City.This time, there were dozens of shields in front of them to resist the rain of sharp arrows from the city, and behind them were dead soldiers holding weapons. Their purpose was to go up to the city and remove the crossbowmen from the defenders in the city.Tens of thousands of Chu troops rushed to the city, and the shouts of killing rang out again in this ancient city.

Fortunately, Wang Li was already prepared, so he didn't panic when he saw the Chu army attacking. He kept dispatching troops and sent the most suitable soldiers to deal with the attacking Chu army.As expected, Zhao Ba also brought his own servants to the city to help the Qin army defend the city. Relying on the characteristics of Handan City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the Qin army is far inferior to the Chu army outside the city in terms of numbers, But after all, the Chu army did not really attack.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. During these five days, the Chu army launched dozens of attacks, but because of the desperate resistance of the Qin army in the city, they could only maintain the appearance of a few days ago, but the city was already full of corpses. Most of them were injured by the random arrows and wood and stones from the top of the city, but many of them were soldiers from the Qin army who were killed on the city.At this time, the Chu army had just withdrawn from the city, and today they fought in vain for another day.Xiang Zhuang looked at the Handan City with some helplessness. At this time, his confidence in his heart had begun to waver, and he said to Xiang He beside him: "His brother, you have hit the mark again this time. This Handan City is indeed difficult. The attack was very good, if your strategy at that time could be successful, it would be great."

Xiang He gave a wry smile, why doesn't he know this truth, but now he can do anything.He said softly: "Now our army has suffered more than [-]% casualties. If we don't think about other methods, even if we wipe out all our troops, it may not be possible to take down Handan City."

Xiang Zhuang only had any good ideas, and asked quickly, "Did his brother think of any other ideas?"

Xiang He still smiled wryly and shook his head. Although he knew that Handan City would be lost if it was taken down, but he really had no feasible way.After sighing, both of them returned to the main tent, and they still had to discuss the strategy for attacking the city tomorrow, where to attack and where to cooperate.

The soldiers of Chu also returned to the camp with exhausted bodies after a day of attacking. Now they only want to fall asleep after eating. The hard work of the few days has drained their vigor. At the same time, their hearts are against Qin Jun also had a new understanding.

Just because they were already very tired, no one was sent out to inspect the surroundings, but they had been stationed here for nearly half a month before they wanted to come here, and some people from the nearby mountains and fields should not run away. Come here, so I became indifferent to the inspection work here.But just when they relaxed their vigilance, a group of more than a hundred riders lingered a few miles away from the Chu army's camp. They were Zhang Han and some of his soldiers.

After marching for a period of time, they finally arrived here three days ago, but seeing the mighty momentum of the Chu army, Zhang Han found that his people could not easily bypass them and enter Handan City.In the past few days, they have been lying down at night and coming out at night to investigate the situation of the Chu army. Of course, this day is no exception.

After watching the Chu army enter the camp and start a fire, Zhang Han said to his subordinates who came with him: "Looking at the appearance of the Chu army this time, it seems that their defense will be weaker tonight. Then they can sneak down to the city, these days they are surrounded by soldiers and horses, it is rare to have such a good opportunity."

One of them whispered: "General, in my opinion, it's better for a few of us to go there first and get in touch with the defenders in the city before you go. Otherwise, if the defenders in the city mistake us for spies, then we will be in danger." gone."

Zhang Han thought about it and felt that it made some sense. It was fine if he was misunderstood by the defenders in the city, but if the Chu army was alarmed because of this, and the Chu army would capture him alive and use it to threaten to investigate? I will regret it to death.So Zhang Han said: "That's fine, you can take ten people there to explore the road first. If the defenders in the city can trust you, then come back, and I will go to the city to find a way to enter the city." The man nodded. So he took ten people and quietly went to the Chu army's outpost, and disappeared after a while.

Three days later, Zhang Han and the others finally saw a black shadow coming towards them quickly. After getting close, everyone could see clearly that this person was the one who had gone just now.When he saw Zhang Han, he hurriedly said: "General, fortunately, there is a guard on the city who was a fellow countryman who joined the army with me. He recognized me, so he was not suspected by the guard. Now they have told me Alright, when we get to the bottom of the city, lower the rope and pull us up to the city."

Zhang Han nodded: "Since it's been agreed, it's not too late. Let's start now."

In this way, a group of people came to the city of Handan at the fastest speed. Sure enough, when the city saw them coming, they fell off the rope, and everyone followed the rope and went to the city.On the top of the wall, Wang Li stood there with an excited expression on his face. When he saw Zhang Han coming up, he fell to the ground: "Thank you, General, for taking the risk to save me! General..." Zhang Han hurriedly helped him up. He stood up and said: "Why is this so general Wang? You and I are both generals of the Qin Dynasty, and it is only my duty to save you at this time." After saying that, he stopped Wang Li and walked down the city.

ps It was a tragedy yesterday, it was not updated until after 0 o'clock, I am really sorry everyone.
