Daqin: Start With 100,000 Proficiency

In Handan City, Wang Jian was leading an army of more than 100,000 to attack the city wall. Seeing that there was no sign of breaking through, he couldn't help frowning.

If it were normal, he would definitely not be in a hurry.

But now that the 100,000 Xiongnu army was heading towards Anyi in Xinye, Xiao Xiao led 30,000 soldiers to stop the Huns. One day later, Xiao Xiao and the 30,000 soldiers were in danger of being annihilated.

What is even more worrisome is that if something unexpected happens to Xiao Xiao, he, more than 100,000 soldiers, and even the 100,000 soldiers under Li Xin's command will be in danger~.

Therefore, to break Handan, we must race against time.

"General, such a strong attack is not an option, the Zhao army in Handan City is too stubborn!"

A general came to General Wang Jian in disgrace, frowning as he was out of breath.

There were too many Zhao troops in Handan City, and the soldiers rushed to the tower several times and were beaten down. Going on like this is not the way to go, we must use catapults and giant crossbows to consume the morale of the Zhao army in Handan first.

If it continues to be consumed like this, the soldiers will be gone before Handan is breached.

"Order the soldiers to retreat!"

Listening to his subordinates, Wang Jiantan looked at Handan City, and finally spoke.

Hearing this, the general hurriedly left and ordered the horn to be blown to retreat, and the sound of the war drums was also replaced by the sound of retreat.

Back in the tent, Wang Jian looked up helplessly and sighed.

"General, you really can't fight like this, too many soldiers have been killed or injured."

"Yes, General, without catapults, the soldiers can't get in at all!"

Several generals who came in with Wang Jian showed wry smiles. In this way, the siege soldiers suffered too many casualties. It would be fine if they captured Handan, but if they failed to capture Handan, they would be severely punished when they returned to Qin.

"But we don't have much time!"

Shaking his head, Wang Jian looked at Xinye on the map.

He felt that Xiao Xiao could only stop the Xiongnu for five days at most, so he must capture Handan within four days, and if he couldn't take it within four days...

Then Wang Jian would order the withdrawal of troops without hesitation and return to Qin.

"General, do we want to withdraw our troops? Now our Qin army will be encircled by the Xiongnu army, Yan army, and Handan Zhao army at any time. The situation is too dangerous."

"The subordinates also think that the army should be withdrawn, and the King of Qin will definitely not blame us. If General Xiao can't resist the Xiongnu... everything will be over by then."

"General, order the withdrawal!"

The generals in the handsome tent spoke one after another.

The tenacity of the Zhao army in Handan City exceeded their imagination. The two consecutive days of siege had already lowered the morale of the army. If they continued to attack like this, it would be impossible.

"Let me think!"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Wang Jian was still a little shaken in the end.

Naturally, he also knew the consequences of such a strong attack. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had attacked a city like this.

It's just that the withdrawal of the army was too unwilling, and it was not easy to encounter drought and famine in Zhao State. Now Yanmen, Yunzhong, Anyi, and the Weishui Valley have all been brought down. Li Mu is dead, and Zhao Jun's army is shaken.

Now, Handan City is the only city left in front of Zhao Guo after it is wiped out.

Withdrawing troops at this moment, I don't know when we can send troops to Handan next time.

Wang Jian looked at the map in thought, and all the generals under his command looked tired. In their eyes, Xiao Xiao's 30,000 Qin army could not stop the 100,000 Huns at all.

It is really wrong to attack Handan at this moment.

"Order to withdraw the troops! Let people inform General Xiao in Xinye, and let them withdraw to Qin immediately."

After contemplating for a moment, Wang Jian finally chose to seek stability.

He can't make jokes with hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. As a general of Qin, he can't afford to gamble or lose.

"promise!!"

"promise!!!"

Hearing this, the subordinates handed over their hands one after another and were about to go out. At this time, a soldier hurried in.

"Report!!! General, General Xiao set fire to the front and rear of Xinye, and now the fire has spread to hundreds of mountains! The Huns are all trapped in the mountains."

The soldiers knelt down on one knee and cupped their hands to report. The shock in his eyes has not subsided.

No one knows, but when he got the news, how shocked he was.

"What?"

"What did you say???"

The words of the soldiers caused the generals in the barracks to open their mouths in disbelief.

Then they looked at the map, and Wang Jian had already looked at Xinye.

"Seconds, seconds. Really seconds!!"

Wang Jian looked at Xinye on the map and murmured unconsciously. Why didn't he expect that Zhao Guo had been suffering from years of drought, and coupled with the strong wind in the first month, it only took a big fire to encircle the Xiongnu.

"General Xiao's move is really second! It's too powerful."

...0

"Yes, Xinye is known as a hundred thousand mountains, and this fire is enough to burn an army of one hundred thousand Huns to death."

"Without the Huns, we have enough drivers, and Handan will be destroyed soon!!"

Several generals sighed with emotion. Excited.

"wrong!!"

But soon, Wang Jian discovered the problem. The wind direction is not right, the strong wind this season is always blowing in the direction of Zhixinsi to Anyi.

If the Xiongnu see the fire in the direction of Xinsi behind them, they only need to speed up to break through. If they set fire in the direction of Anyi, the fire will burn too slowly, and the Huns' army will also have time to break through.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian frowned even more.

But why did the soldiers say that the Xiongnu army was surrounded by the Xinye fire? Couldn't they run away? Not...

Suddenly, Wang Jian's pupils shrank, and after thinking of what might happen, he froze, and even stopped breathing. He looked at the soldier in shock.

"Where's General Xiao?"

At this moment, Wang Jian's heart was beating rapidly, and he had a bad premonition in his whole body.

The soldier opened his mouth slowly with red eyes.

"General Xiao was afraid that the Huns would break out of the siege, so he led his soldiers into the mountain while setting fire behind him! He... never came out!"

Jing, because of this sentence, everyone in the handsome tent fell into the river of tranquility. .
