Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Wang Ben soon realized that it is not that easy to become famous, at least in a siege war, especially as the attacking party in a siege war, it is even more difficult to become famous.

At this time, the Qin army faced Xinzheng, which Wei Zhuang had spent several years transforming from top to bottom into a real war machine. The Qin army transported enough wood from further away to create sufficient siege forces. After the weapons were removed, the Qin army brazenly launched an attack on Xinzheng.

However, in the first round of attack, Wang Ben realized that things were not as simple as he imagined. The Korean army was not as vulnerable as he imagined, and there were no flaws in the deployment. During the attack, Wang Ben did not find any flaws in the Korean army. All he could do was attack them with force, and the price was to exceed the Korean army's casualties.

But this is how siege is, even if Wang Jian is replaced here, fortunately this is only the first day.

In the next two months, the Qin army was continuously attacked by Xinzheng. The once noisy Xinzheng had completely turned into a hell on earth. The casualties of the Qin army were increasing, and the same was true for the defenders of Xinzheng. More and more people were called to the city wall for defense. It seemed that the Korean army alone no longer had enough strength.

Under the setting sun, Wang Ben looked at Xinzheng, which had become riddled with holes in the war. The confidence in his eyes had long been replaced by endless solemnity. Although South Korea was weak, Xinzheng was stronger than he imagined. many.

"The situation I least want to see has happened." Wang Ben felt helpless, but he could only think that as the coach, he could not say anything at this time. He needed to show his confidence and strength to the soldiers. Courage, only in this way can the Qin army believe that they will be able to win in a difficult war.

"General Wang, Mr. Shun from the Yin Yang family is back." While Wang Ben was thinking, the soldiers reported to Wang Ben.

"Please." Wang Ben couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He hoped that the elder of the Yin Yang family could bring him some good news.

Soon, a young man in rich clothes who was incompatible with the army appeared in front of Wang Ben.

"General Wang, the mountains and rivers surrounding Xinzheng are not strong enough to support a water attack on Xinzheng City," said Lao Shun, Minister of Land and Resources of the Yin-Yang family.

"The geographical advantage cannot be borrowed, so we can only use manpower." Wang Ben said.

In the following time, the Qin army continued to launch a fierce attack on Xinzheng. It can be said that all kinds of siege methods were exhausted. But in this era, there are only so many ways to siege the city. The attackers can think of defense. One side can also imagine that there is no such thing as riding to win, there is only constant tug-of-war.

Amid the increasing casualties on both sides of Qin and South Korea, time passed slowly. Xinzheng was still standing, and the Qin army was still attacking the city.

When the war in Xinzheng became more and more fierce, the Qin army that invaded Wei was also frustrated by Daliang City. Unlike South Korea, which was still struggling, Wei was not comparable to South Korea in terms of manpower and force. With Daliang City as its core , the defense system formed by connecting the cities and rivers around Daliang is equally tight.

It took Wang Jian two full months to destroy all the fortifications outside Daliang City.

"General, the Wei Navy has been destroyed. We can attack Daliang from the waterway." On one of the few hills outside Daliang City, the Qin Navy naval general hurriedly came to Wang Jian with an expression that showed no trace of emotion. Undisguised joy.

"Okay, then the warship can be used as a siege ladder to recreate the feat of Prime Minister Zuo when he breached the Great Wall of Yan State." Wang Jian also looked overjoyed when he heard this.

When Yang Ming was attacking the Yan State, he faced the Yan State Great Wall in Yishui. He connected it with warships and added planks of wood to build another ship wall that was not much lower than the Yan State Great Wall between the passages of the Yan State Great Wall. Now, He also wanted to use this method to build such a city wall outside Daliang City. Although Daliang City was towering, the warships owned by the Qin Army at this time were not comparable to the ships that Yang Ming recruited from Zhao at that time.

Thanks to the efforts of the Gongsun family disciples accompanying the army, a chain of warships soon appeared on the water outside Daliang City.

"Is this what the Qin army wants?" On the city wall of Daliang City, Wei Yong had already achieved his wish and became the general of Wei. After hearing the soldiers' report, Wei Yong hurried to the place where the Qin army's warship was pointing. His beard and hair were all white. There was a solemn look on his face.

The intelligence of the Qin army's destruction of Yan has been collected here in the Wei State. Although the information they have is not as good as that of the Qin State, they still know a general idea. In addition to what is visible to the naked eye, how can Wei Yong not see the Qin army's plan? intention.

"But, how should I respond? The Qin army relies on warships. As time goes by, it will really attack the city wall of Daliang City. Once the wall is lost, Daliang City will be finished." Wei Yong thought, and there was already a sign on his forehead There was a trace of sweat.

Wei Yong quickly walked down the city wall thinking, his mind spinning: The Qin army's warships are tall, the Daliang navy has been defeated, Daliang City can no longer find a navy that can deal with the Qin army's warships, so it can only borrow strength, and the war Above all, apart from humans, the strongest thing is the power of heaven and earth. Among the powers of heaven and earth, the easiest and most often borrowed power is the power of water and fire. Water is eliminated first.

Wei Yong thought quickly, and the word "fire" appeared in his mind.

Yes, it can only be fire. Wei Yong suddenly raised his head, and two divine lights bloomed in his old eyes.

In early October of the 18th year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army attacked Daliang City with naval forces, but was repelled by the Wei army with fire attack.

Jicheng.

"Wei Yong, it's really a long-lasting name." Yang Ming, who was also following the battlefields of Han and Wei through his own channels, looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Wei Yong, I've seen this man before, but he doesn't seem to be such a loyal and brave person." Xun Kuang said in surprise.

"Wei Yong, I have seen him too. He is a truly ruthless person." Yang Ming recalled that Wei Yong can be said to be different, but he must not be called stupid. This is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. .

"This is a ruthless man who can be described as cunning." Xun Kuang said.

"It's really hard to imagine that Wei Yong was so loyal and brave when the Wei Kingdom was about to fall. It seems that he can't blind his eyes with a leaf." Xun Kuang continued.

Wei Yong's performance in the battle between Qin and Wei really overturned Xun Kuang's cognition. Such a person turned out to be a loyal minister. What a joke God made.

"Loyal and brave?" Yang Ming sneered at Xun Kuang's judgment. Is Wei Yong a loyal minister? Don't be ridiculous. If he were a loyal minister, would he do whatever it takes to gain power, and would he even be willing to cooperate with Qin?

"Isn't it?" Yang Ming's reaction fell into Xun Kuang's eyes, making Xun Kuang doubt his own judgment.

"Wei Yong is definitely not a loyal minister. He is an extremely selfish person who will use any means to achieve his goals." Yang Mingdao.

"What's the explanation for this?" Xun Kuang asked.

"Wei Yong is very old now. Even if there is no war, he does not have a few years to live. In the past, he was even willing to betray the interests of the Wei State and cooperate with the Qin State for the sake of power, and now he is also A person who is prepared to sell himself for a purpose, who can sell his country or himself, can't he be called a ruthless person?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

People like Wei Yong are so interesting. Yang Ming has to admit that Wei Yong was born in the Wei State. If he was born in the Chu State, he would definitely accomplish a lot, but this goal has not been achieved. Even being able to sell himself ruthlessly was enough for him to prosper in Chu State and gain greater power. It is doubtful that he could really become a powerful enemy of Qin State.

"Then what is he doing now?" Xun Kuang asked puzzledly.

"Posthumous name, Wei Yong has no sons, only one daughter." Yang Ming couldn't help but frowned when he said this. He had seen Wei Xianxian, but although Wei Xianxian was considered beautiful, she was not stunning, and Yang Ming's energy They are not in Wei State, because they have not met each other since the trip to Wei State. Speaking of Wei Yong at this moment, it reminds Yang Ming of that weak but strong woman again.

"He now has the power and position he wants, and his time is running out, and he doesn't care about anything in his heart, so what he can pursue is his posthumous name. He wants to leave his name in history. This It is his last pursuit, and the price is his life. This time Wang Jian is in trouble. Wei Yong, who is obsessed with fame, has no flaws and can be regarded as Wang Jian's strong enemy." Yang Mingdao.

"For fame? Are you talking about deeds but not your heart, or are you talking about your heart but not your deeds? Is Wei Yong loyal or traitorous?" Xun Kuang pondered, it is really difficult to accurately describe a person like Wei Yong.

"No matter what kind of person Wei Yong is, it is not our turn to worry about it now. It is Wang Jian who faces Wei Yong directly." Yang Ming said.

"According to the Prime Minister's estimation, can Daliang City be destroyed?" Xun Kuang asked.

"Of course Daliang City cannot be defended. At the beginning of the construction of Daliang City, the Wei people left a fatal weakness in Daliang City." Yang Ming said.

"Daliang City is known as the strongest city in the world. It has high walls and thick walls. What is its weakness?" Xun Kuang asked.

"Water attack. When the Wei people were building Daliang City, they were too greedy. They not only wanted the defense of Daliang City, but also took into account commercial interests. There was water all around. Wang Jian used the water attack method to attack Daliang City. It was absolutely impossible for Daliang City It can be defended." Yang Ming said, in the original trajectory, Daliang City was captured in this way. Although it was not the most suitable method, it was the most suitable method for the Qin army.

"Wang Jian knows how to attack with water?"

"Yes, Wang Jian will definitely use water attack when there is no better choice. He is the general of Qin first, and his first priority is the interests of the Qin army." Yang Ming affirmed.

"Daliang!" Xun Kuang sighed, those are the lives.
