Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 120
When the confinement period is over, Ziying still doesn't know how to face his sworn brother Jing Ke, so he can only give generous gifts to the jailer in prison, trying his best to make Jing Ke live more comfortably in prison.

Even with the help of Momen's power to rob the prison directly, let alone whether he can escape from Xianyang, he escaped successfully. With Jing Ke's hatred for the King of Qin, he will definitely find other opportunities to assassinate the King of Qin.

At least in prison, Jing Ke's life can be saved for the time being. As for when Jing Ke will be rescued, it can only be said later.

And after this incident, under the premise of not knowing Zhao Zheng's real intentions, in Ziying's opinion, he probably won't have the chance to lead the army again.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the 21st year of Qin Wangzheng, and Wang Jian's army was still blocked outside Jicheng, unable to advance an inch.

According to the latest information, the Chu State's military forces are frequently mobilized, and it is unknown what their intentions are.

It has never been Zhao Zheng's character to sit and wait to die. In order to break through the situation, the two royal orders were distributed to Ziying and Wang Jian's son Wang Ben.

"Order Chang'an Junziying to be the supervisor of the Northern Army, and lead [-] troops to reinforce Jicheng."

"Order Wang Ben to command [-] troops to crusade against Chu."

Xianyang's response was very straightforward. Since the [-] troops could not capture Jicheng, they would send more troops.Although it is difficult to determine whether the mobilization of Chu's troops is to rescue Yan, no matter what Chu's intentions are, sending troops directly to fight there can at least keep Chu from taking care of others.

Naturally, the military emergency cannot be delayed.

After gathering the troops, Ziying and Wang Ben led a troop out of Xianyang respectively.

Among them, the Shenzhou Tiewei, commanded by Peng Yue, was assigned to Wang Ben's command, and Sima Shang's cavalry was once again under the command of Ziying.

When Ziying rushed to Jicheng, Wang Jian, Li Xin and other Qin army generals were still helpless under Jicheng.

"Mr. Rao Yang, Yan State is close to the Great Wall and has been bullied by foreigners. It was even almost destroyed. In order to protect itself, although Yan State is small, it can be said that it has spared no effort in the construction of the capital. Even the capital of the big country in the Central Plains may not have Ji. The city is strong."

As soon as Ziying arrived at the camp, Li Xin introduced to Ziying: "Since our army besieged Jicheng last year, we have been blocked several times. The losses are not insignificant. There are still more than [-] elites from the Yan Kingdom in the city. Moreover, as the capital of the Yan Kingdom, Jicheng has enough food and grass to last for three years, so there is really no way to eat it."

After listening to Li Xin's introduction, Ziying also felt a little powerless. He had lived in Jicheng for several months and he knew it well. He wanted to break it under the premise that there were enough soldiers in the city. According to Ziying's estimate At least ten times as many sergeants as the defenders are needed, and it is possible to attack day and night regardless of casualties.

And these days, the Qin army had paid a very heavy price for breaking Jicheng. Even with the 3 troops led by Ziying, it was only a little over [-], which was more than double the number of the defenders in the city.

Moreover, with the population base of Jicheng, if the war is urgent, civilians in the city can be recruited to help defend the city.

Jicheng must be won in the shortest possible time, and it cannot be delayed any longer.If the Battle of Jicheng dragged on for another two or three years, whether the food and grass would be able to sustain it was still a question. I was afraid that if it dragged on, it would affect the great cause of Qin's unification.

If a city cannot be conquered for several years, it will inevitably give the remaining countries a sense that the Qin army is only mediocre. If several countries send troops to rescue Yan, then this expedition will return in vain.

Since the crusade against the Yan State in the name of revenge, it is necessary to give the Yan State the most painful memory in the shortest possible time with the momentum of thunder.

And the order given by the King of Qin is to break through Jicheng before the fall!

In the month after Ziying's arrival, the Qin army organized several more attacks, but they were still unable to accomplish anything.

The city wall of Jicheng seemed like an insurmountable moat, blocking the pace of the Qin army.

"I don't know what you have ordered from your lord, do you want to find a military doctor to come and treat your lord?"

Sima Shang gave a military salute and asked with concern.

It was night, and Ziying sent someone to recruit Sima Shang to the big tent alone. After Sima Shang arrived, he was a little worried when he saw Ziying's state.

At this moment, Ziying looked uncommonly haggard, as if his hair had not been taken care of for several days, it was messy.

Yu Gongziying is the leader of Momen, Yu's private son-in-law is his prospective grandson-in-law, both Yu Gongziying and private company Ma Shang are extremely worried about Ziying's health.

"General Sima, I don't have anything else to do. I invite the general to come here this time because I have a very important matter to ask the general to do." Ziying rubbed his face hard a few times, cleared his head and said to Sima Shang. : "This matter is related to the victory or defeat of Jicheng."

"Your Majesty, but as you bid."

"Old general, do you still remember the black water - oil found outside Liyang City?" Ziying said.

"Such a miraculous thing is still naturally remembered, I wonder if the king wants to...?"

Sima Shang questioned, Sima Shang naturally remembered the oil that burns when it meets fire, but when Ziying mentioned this thing at this time, Sima Shang was a little confused about Ziying's thoughts.

"Trouble General Sima, lead a team of soldiers to Liyang immediately, and bring as much oil as possible. Whether Jicheng can be defeated in one battle depends on this time!"

"Respect!"

The state of Ziying is not sick, but has been entangled in whether to use the sharp weapon of oil in advance for several days.

With Ziying's full confidence, he was able to break through Jicheng within the time stipulated by King Qin, but in this way, there must be many bones in Jicheng.

If it is placed on other generals, this is naturally not a problem.In this era, there are many people who directly slaughtered the city after breaking the city. However, as a person of later generations, Ziying couldn't get around it psychologically when he thought that it might cause the death of a large number of innocent civilians.

Liyang City was located near the original border of Yanzhao, and not far from Jicheng. After Sima Shang arrived, he sent people to drill dozens of wells where the oil was found and continuously fished for oil day and night.

After only [-] days, dozens of trucks of oil were transported back to the front line of Jicheng.

"Mr. Raoyang, is this what you said broke the city?" Wang Jian looked at the dozens of trucks of oil transported to the camp and asked suspiciously.

Li Xin and other lieutenant generals were also very curious and wandered around the oil, unable to figure out what the purpose of Ziying's use of this thing was.

"This thing is called 'oil'. It has many uses and will be popular in later generations. I have lived in the city for a long time, and I know the layout of the city. Jicheng diverted water into the city as a water source, and most of the residences in the city were built near the water. In addition, the rivers and lakes in the palace of Yan State are also the source of diverting water.

Although this thing can be prevented in advance, I am afraid that no one in the country of Yan can recognize this thing! "

Ziying calmly explained that this is probably the first time oil has appeared on the battlefield, and no one in Jicheng would recognize it, let alone deal with it.

"Mr. Chang'an, I'm still a little puzzled as to how this thing can break the city." Li Xin continued to ask.

"This object floats in water, burns when exposed to fire, and is inextinguishable when exposed to water!"
