Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 614 Qin Emperor Sieges Handan
Three days later, Emperor Qin mobilized all the people of Ye County and transported all the fire starters that could be used in the county to the outside of Handan City.

It was precisely because of Qin Di Hu Hai's ruthlessness that no one messed around along the way, and Zhao Guo's rule in Ye County was not popular.

The Qin army broke through Ye County, and at the request of Hu Hai, they naturally did nothing to the local people, so that their resistance to the Qin army was not high.

And in this process, Emperor Qin ordered all fire starters to be soaked with fierce fire oil to increase the burning time.

At this moment, the four gates of Handan have been surrounded by the Qin army, and the moat before the east, west and south gates has been filled, but before the north gate, the river has been infinitely widened.

The military capability of the Qin army was originally the first among all the armies in the world. In just two days, it not only completed the military orders of the Qin emperor.

Even the mud that widens the river channel is used to completely block the east gate with mud, so that the east gate is completely abandoned.

Even so, Emperor Qin still ordered the four gates to gather troops and set fire to the east gate. He wanted to destroy the famous city of Handan in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't our army be deployed on such a large scale...!" Of course, ordinary wars all pay attention to the speed of soldiers.

It's not that no one raised doubts about Emperor Qin's putting the cart before the horse, but almost all doubts were strongly suppressed by Emperor Qin.

But at this moment, even Dunwei, who has always supported Emperor Qin and never doubted Hu Hai's decision-making, was a little puzzled.

"Dunwei, is the Shanggu army here?" Hu Hai didn't answer Dunwei, but asked a seemingly unrelated matter.

"Your Majesty, the Shanggu army is coming to Handan. There are not many troops in Hengshan County, and no one can stop Sima Qingshan!"

"Ha ha--!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qin couldn't help laughing out loud. His seemingly random stroke back then, who knew it would have an unexpected effect today.

"The king of Zhao back then, I'm afraid he didn't expect that today, the first person to enter Zhao's land is actually me!"

With a sigh of pride in his tone, Hu Hai then said to the weak, "Our army is only [-], and all of them are cavalry!"

"Handan is the capital of the State of Zhao. Even if King Zhao leaves the whole country, he will leave a large army in Handan to guard him."

"You also know that there are no less than [-] Zhao troops in the entire Handan, and they rely on the fortified city of Handan."

"There is no large siege equipment in our army at all. It is not a rational behavior to forcibly attack the city with [-] cavalry."

"And once the Shanggu army arrives, our army will surpass Zhao's army in numbers. Only in this way can we be safe!"

"What's more, although I also want to destroy Zhao, but judging from the current situation, forcing Li Zuoche to return to the teacher is the key point!"

"Your Majesty's words certainly have some truth, but in Handan City today, there is only Zhao's imperial court, but King Zhao's backbone is not here!"

"Under such circumstances, Li Zuoche may not return to the teacher. If so, what should His Majesty do?"

With deep eyes, he looked at Emperor Qin weakly and expressed the worries in his heart one by one.

Hearing this, Emperor Qin's expression paused, and with the murderous intent in his eyes, he said to Dunwei, "If Li Zuoche doesn't return to his teacher, I will destroy Zhao Guo!"

"At that time, the danger of a bereaved dog to my Daqin will be infinitely reduced!"

Seeing Emperor Qin at this moment, a look of solemnity flashed across the face of Dunwei. It has to be said that the current Hu Hai is more and more emperor-like.

Sometimes, facing Hu Hai would give him a feeling of facing the first emperor.

"Order the army to send envoys to Handan City to persuade Guangao to surrender, and at the same time ask them to send a message to Li Zuoche!"

"Yes!"

"Prime Minister, it has been three days since the Qin army besieged the city. Emperor Qin sealed the east gate with mud and blocked the north gate with water at the same time!"

"The west gate, the south gate, and the moat have been filled in. The Shanggu Qin army has broken through Hengshan County and is marching towards Handan!"

"Once the Shanggu Qin army arrives in Handan, the number of the Qin army will reach [-] to [-]."

"Now in Handan City, there are only [-] old, weak, sick and disabled. If the King is not around, there is no one to preside over the situation. What should we do?"

Today's Handan is in a dead end. Without King Zhao, other people can't mobilize the people of Zhao.

Even for Lao Guangao, it is impossible for the whole country to serve as soldiers, not to mention that the entire army is in the hands of Li Zuoche.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai is already a well-known general in the world. On this point, even Guan Gao cannot deny it.

Now that Li Zuoche is not around, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, there is no one who is an opponent of Emperor Qin.

This is also the reason why Guan Gao didn't dare to send troops easily, knowing that Emperor Qin was doing mischief outside the city.

In a war, the elite level of a large army and the command attainments of a commander are extremely critical.

What's more, this time the kingdoms of Shandong joined forces to attack Qin, although the pressure on the Great Qin Empire was overwhelming, but the same was true for Zhao.

"call--!"

With a long sigh, Guan Gao was silent for a while, and said: "Ask for help from General Li, Zhao Guo is already in danger!"

"only!"

Although Guan Gao's commanding ability is not high, it does not mean that his vision is not high. He knows in his heart that Emperor Qin came here only to open up a second battlefield to relieve the pressure on the main battlefield.

Hu Hai's only purpose was not to destroy Zhao, but to force Zhao Jun to withdraw.

However, although the extermination of Zhao was not the only purpose of Emperor Qin, when the war situation changed.

Emperor Qin may not change his mind. After all, even if the Luoyang area is broken, the Qin army can still retreat to Hangu Pass.

At that time, relying on this world's first level, it will not be a problem to hold back the Shandong Allied Forces.

But if the Zhao army does not know how to help, there are only [-] troops in the Zhao country at this moment, and they are all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

Among the Qin army were not only the [-] cavalry led by Emperor Qin himself, but also the elite from Shanggu who went south.

At that time, Zhao Guo will be destroyed!

Outside Yangcheng, the Zhao army camp.

In the heavily guarded Chinese military shogunate, Li Zuoche saw the messenger again.

"General, Hengshan County was defeated by the Shanggu Qin army. Emperor Qin besieged Handan and planned to join forces with him. The prime minister asked the general to return!"

"If you go back to the teacher, I'm afraid that regardless of the outcome of this battle, my country of Zhao will be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Li Zuoche didn't wrinkle slightly, he looked at the huge map in the shogunate and said.

"If the Qin army destroys Zhao, if the general does not come, it must be a successful battle. At the same time, the coalition forces will definitely break through Sanchuan County!"

"It's just that Sanchuan County is broken, but with Hangu Pass and Wuguan blocking the pass, it will be impossible to break through for a while!"

At this moment, Li Zuoche suddenly discovered that in this battle, it seemed that the Qin army was at a disadvantage everywhere, but in the layout of Wang Ben and Hu Hai, they had unlimited vitality.

"Just reinforcements.!"
