Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Only the front of the crowd was visible.

The original Wusui City that was in ruins has disappeared.

Instead, a city wall fortress that was much taller than before rose from the ground, blocking everyone.

On the city wall, at least hundreds... or even thousands of Qin's elite soldiers wearing black armor were patrolling back and forth.

Looking at the sudden appearance of the city wall and the sudden appearance of the Qin army, Hu Noi's pupils suddenly shrank.

In the current situation that Zhao Jun was in, this sudden appearance of the city wall was like a natural moat, completely blocking Zhao Jun's last retreat.

"Is this Wu Sui?"

In just five days, such a high wall appeared outside Wusui City. Even Hu Zou couldn't help but wonder if he was going the wrong way.

However, when the adjutant beside him took the march map and looked at it for more than ten breaths, he finally nodded with certainty and said: "General, yes, this is Wu Sui."

As soon as this statement came out.

Hu Zhe suddenly couldn't help but said angrily: "Absurd? How could this be Wu Sui?"

at this time.

Another adjutant suddenly came forward and said, "General, could this be a deception by the Qin army?"

After hearing this, Hu Noi immediately calmed down a little, his eyes flashed, and he said: "What do you mean..."

The adjutant affirmed: "No one in this world can build such a city wall in five days. If the stone slurry is not dry, even the tallest city wall will eventually be vulnerable."

After listening to the deputy general's analysis.

Hu Zou thought for a moment and felt that what the other party said made sense.

Even he had never heard of anyone who could build a wall several feet high in five days. After all, it would take more than five days for the stone slurry that glues the cracks in the wall to solidify.

This is the thought.

Hu Zhe also gradually calmed down and regained his previous calm state of mind.

"Send my military orders and prepare to attack the city."

Hu Zhe issued a military order and decided to test the strength of the Qin troops on the opposite side first.

However······

The siege has just begun.

Zhao Jun suffered a head-on blow.

Because this city wall that appeared like a miracle was not at all a city wall built by a 'deception' as the 'adjutant' had guessed.

Quite the opposite.

This new "Wusui City Wall" is not only taller than the previous Wusui City, but its hardness is not inferior to those of bluestone brick walls.

The more than 70,000 troops attacked continuously for a little while. Not only did they fail to capture Wu Sui, but they also suffered heavy losses.

"Bang~~"

"How could such a thing happen?"

Seeing this result, Hu Zou's face in the camp suddenly turned livid, and he punched the marching table hard.

this moment.

Even if Hu Zou no longer wants to believe it, he has to admit that the Qin army really built a 'miracle city' in five days.

At the same time, he finally understood why the Qin army continued to pursue them all the way after defeating them in Yanmen.

This was not a mistake in the command of the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, but that they had been calculated from the beginning.

"Damn, how the hell do these guys do that?"

"General, what should we do now?"

"Do you need to retreat in another direction?"

The adjutants following Hu Zhu were obviously veterans who had experienced the battlefield for a long time. Even if they suddenly suffered such an accident, they did not panic too much. Instead, they calmly made suggestions one after another to Hu Zhu.

However, in the end, these suggestions were all rejected.

"No need to change direction, it's already too late."

Hu Zhuo shook his head and rejected the last adjutant's suggestion, saying: "If we had directly changed direction half a day ago, we might have had a chance to retreat, but now, there is no time."

"Now we only have the last way..."

At this point, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Hu Zhu's eyes, and he said resolutely: "My military order is for all soldiers to abandon all unnecessary debris and prepare to attack Wu Sui."

When retreating before, Hu Zou had already noticed that there were two teams forming a huge encirclement from the left and right wings of the Qin army.

If they had just arrived outside Wusui and had decisively chosen to retreat in another direction, there might have been a glimmer of hope for evacuation.

But now, the Qin army's two-wing encirclement is estimated to have been formed.

Even if Hu Zou leads his troops to retreat from both sides now, there is a high probability that they will eventually be overtaken by the Qin army.

So for Zhao Jun.

Their best choice now is to break through the 'sky chasm' in front of them from the front and return to Zhao State. This is their last glimmer of hope.

······

Following Hu Zhe's order.

The Qin soldiers on the Wusui city wall suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

However, siege and defense have never been difficult. Although there are only a thousand Qin soldiers in Wusui City now, with the defensive power of the city wall fortress, they can survive for a period of time even against tens of thousands of troops.

What's more, the logistics and dry food they brought with them for this trip of a thousand people were unprecedentedly sufficient.

"Hahaha~~Boy, did you lose the lottery?"

Behind the stone wall of the city, recruit Lu Wei suddenly sat down on the ground, with a look of pain on his face.

And on his right shoulder, an arrow was stuck straight on it.

Veteran Dajiang walked over under the cover of the city wall. When he saw Luwei's appearance, not only was he not worried, but he also grinned and said: "I really don't know whether you are unlucky or lucky. With your injury, if it had been before, There is at least a half chance that it will fail.”

"But who allowed you to catch up with the good times? Now there is the 'Da Qin Sword Creation Medicine' invented by Lord Shengping. Yours is just a small wound."

"Be patient, I'll help you pull out the arrow first, and then I'll apply some medicine on you."

The arrow was not inserted deeply, so there was no need to worry about the barb of the arrow, so veteran Dajiang directly pulled the feather arrow out of the reed, then applied medicine to him, and quickly bandaged it.

"Okay, you'll be fine after applying the medicine. Let's take advantage of this period to eat some food first!"

After treating the wound, veteran Dajiang took out two pottery bowls from somewhere, both of which were filled with rice. He took one and placed it in front of Reed.

Lu Wei was obviously not surprised by such a portion of food. He directly picked up the pottery bowl and grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as the rice entered his mouth, Lu Wei couldn't help but frown and said: "It's so salty! "

Hearing this, veteran Dajiang rolled his eyes and said: "You guys are really ignorant. You actually think the rice is salty. Do you know how precious salt is? You know that we used to march and fight, let alone salt, even I often don’t have enough to eat.”

"If Lord Shengping hadn't come from the same background as us and thought about us little people, we wouldn't be able to fight for such a wealthy life even in eight lifetimes!"

"Okay, eat quickly, don't waste time, Zhao Jun's next attack is coming soon."
