General Qin

It was summer and the sun was shining brightly.

A hundred thousand people outside Daliang City wielded hoes and irons and dug a large ditch wide and deep.

"Naigong is dying of heat. When will this matter be over? Naigong just wants to go to battle and kill the enemy, beheading people to make military exploits, digging mud all day long, what's the point?"

Black Butt wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at the soldiers working under him, and began to complain again.

As a general, although he didn't have to dig the ground, he still had to patrol under the scorching sun to see if his soldiers were slacking off.

Shejian rarely opened his mouth and said: "It's still early. Although the water attack method can attack the city, it is very slow to take effect. I think this city is big and hard. If you want to soften the city wall, it will take at least several months." .”

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly after hearing this.

What Shejian said is quite correct. In history, it took Wang Ben water to flood the girders and it took three full months for the city walls to collapse.

Now the ditch connecting the girder and the chasm is almost finished, but this is only the first step.

After the ditch was dug, the prisoners and slaves had to be divided into two groups, one to block the lower reaches of the gap, and the other to go north to dig the embankment of the Yingkou River.

The water of the great river will flow along the chasm, and when it encounters a blockage, it will pour into this artificial ditch and directly hit Daliang City.

In the future, just wait for the city to break down.

"What? Stay here for several months?"

When Heibutt heard this, he yelled again, and said indignantly: "Actually, it's fine to dig a ditch, or wait a few months. But why should we let us do this kind of thing. Those guys can stay in the camp all day long." Rest in training, this General Wang is too..."

"Black ass, shut up!"

Heizhi didn't finish his sentence, and Shejian on the side began to reprimand angrily. He glared and stared until Heizhi laughed, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.

Zhao Tuo ignored the two and turned to look at the neat tents outside Daliang City.

Inside, the sound of drums was loud and loud, and the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

The reason why Hei Hip was upset was because the 50,000 Huaiyang soldiers under Wang Ben's command did not participate in the trench digging.

Those who do this kind of work are all prisoners and slaves, and partial teachers like myself recruited from afar.

Like their Guanzhong partial division, many people themselves enlisted with the idea of ​​meritorious service and promotion. The lower ranks are like Zhao Tuo, Heiyu and others, and the upper ranks are headed by Huan Zhao.

Everyone wanted to do meritorious service, and they drove the prisoners and slaves along the road excitedly, but they were driven to dig mud as soon as they arrived. Who would suffer this kind of grievance.

Many people are complaining, saying that there are many Wei troops in Yongqiu, Chenliu and other places around Daliang, which are ready-made military exploits. If you can take the initiative to attack and annihilate them, it will be much better than staying here and digging mud.

Zhao Tuo has heard Yang Xiong complain about this more than once.

According to Yang Xiong, even Huan Zhao went to Wang Ben for this matter, hoping to give him a chance to make a contribution.

In the end, he was blocked by Wang Ben's sentence of "acting in accordance with military orders". Huan Zhao was so angry that he didn't eat that night, and sulked alone in the military tent.

"This is a siege to fight for aid. Wang Ben is indeed Wang Jian's seed, and he is very stable."

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart, others only complained, but Zhao Tuo understood this tactical style very well.

Those who are good at fighting are good at others but not at others.

Overwhelm people with power!

Just like Wang Jian stationed his army in Zhongshan when he attacked Yan.

No matter how his generals invite the battle, no matter how the Yan army challenges, he just sits on the front line and consumes the opponent.

Make the enemy unbearable, give up their advantages, and take the initiative to send them to the door.

This is what Wang Ben is like today. He besieged Daliang with 50,000 soldiers, and 100,000 laborers dug river ditches, taking the initiative and securing the advantage.

Regardless of how the Wei army gathered around him, Wang Ben would never divide his troops and attack.

If those Wei troops don't save Daliang, the river will flood back and the city of Daliang will be destroyed sooner or later.

After taking Daliang, Wang Ben captured Wei Wangjia and the officials and nobles of Wei State, and Wei State was considered dead.

What role can the remaining frightened Wei Jun play?

At that time, we will slowly clean up one by one.

If those Wei soldiers can't bear it, they will come forward to rescue them.

Then Wang Ben happened to use these 50,000 elite soldiers to wait for work with ease, and beat the widows with the crowd, and gathered them outside Daliang City.

So, the advantage is mine.

Wang Ben would definitely not agree to the request of Huan Zhao and others to send troops. Except for the 50,000 soldiers, it is enough for the others to dig in the mud obediently.

As this artificial ditch is about to connect with the chasm, those Wei troops stationed nearby couldn't help it.

If he doesn't attack again, the beam will be gone.

You can go if you don't want to.

The drums beat and the dust rose.

In the barracks, 20,000 soldiers rushed to the battlefield with high spirits and high spirits.

"Oh, these people are going to make meritorious service."

Heizhi and Xiqigu looked enviously at the army going away.

Everyone has heard that Wei Jiu, Lord Ningling of the Wei Kingdom who was stationed at Yongqiu, couldn't bear it anymore, and led more than ten thousand Wei troops under his command to rush to Daliang to help the king.

20,000 beats 10,000.

The Qin army who was waiting for work at leisure faced the Wei army who had traveled long distances.

Just thinking about it, you know you will win this battle.

Those Wei people are just a series of numbers representing military achievements.

Sure enough, the next day.

The Qin army who had gone out came back, and they were all overjoyed, all of them were happy, and the carriage behind them was full of piled up heads, and the blood had already stained the car black and red.

The Qin army won a complete victory in this battle, beheading 4,000 people from the Wei army, taking more than 2,000 prisoners, and thousands of defeated troops fled in all directions.

Those 4,000 heads were piled up on the open space in front of Daliang City, and the bloody smell filled the sky. Not only did the Wei people on the city wall tremble with fright, even Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched.

These are 4,000 human lives, and now they have all become meritorious deeds for the people of Qin to ascend to the nobility.

After this battle, I don't know how many people can be promoted to a higher level, and it's no wonder that the title has depreciated severely in the past two years.

As for the two thousand captives of the Wei army, they were all driven by the Qin people to dig mud and contributed to the flooding of Daliang City.

The Wei army forces around Daliang City suffered a blow from this battle and suffered serious setbacks.

Lord Ningling Wei Jiu fled to Suiyang City in Song Dynasty with his defeated army, not daring to come out again.

The forces of the Wei army gathered near Chenliu were also terrified. Many Wei generals directly led their troops back and did not dare to mention the matter of King Qin.

Under such circumstances, Qin Jun's water conservancy projects are progressing smoothly.

Artificial ditches and chasm digging.

At that moment, Zhao Tuo stood on the high ground, watching the water of the chasm pouring down the ditch, hitting the north wall of Daliang City fiercely, and then the water waves scattered and spread, enclosing the whole city in the flood .

In a daze, Zhao Tuo heard howls coming from Daliang City.

This is just the beginning.

The chasm is just a canal, and it is difficult to destroy the entire capital of Wei State.

The 100,000 labor force of the Qin people will set off to the north again to dig the embankment of the great river, bringing about even more terrible disasters.

The Guanzhong Qin Army to which Zhao Tuo belonged received new orders.

General Wang Ben is a good general who understands people's hearts.

The elite soldiers under his command ate meat, and they also wanted to give these robed men who came from afar to support the digging a sip of broth.

Marquis Huan Zhao stood in the military tent, smiling all over his face, and excitedly announced to his generals.

"Daliang City has been flooded, and there is no need for us to dig the soil here."

"General Wang has ordered me to lead the army to the east and lead you to attack the counties and counties in the east of Wei State."

"My lords, the opportunity to make meritorious service and promotion has come!"
