Chapter 15 Hard Fight
After putting on the washed armor again, Li Yu smelled the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated, and forced the vomiting to stuff the steamed bun into his mouth. Fortunately, he completely accepted all the memories of this life and had a certain degree of immunity to death and killing, so he did not go crazy, otherwise he would have gone crazy with the psychological qualities of ordinary 21st century youth.
"Brother Xu, are your shoulders okay?" After eating the boring breakfast, Li Yu walked to Xu'an's tent and looked at it. When he saw the red blood stained Zabu, he felt moved. He knew that if Xu'an hadn't been to Xu'an's desperate efforts to protect him, those wounds would have been on him, and he might not have had such good luck to survive.
"It's okay, a little injury will not affect my knife." After reaching out and moving his hand, Xu An replied with a smile, feeling full of feelings about Li Yu's concern. What's wrong with the general's life on him?
"Then Brother Xu has a good rest. I will ask you to protect me next time."
"yes."
After saying a few more words, Li Yu walked out of the tent, looked at the stars in the sky, forced his tears back, and then walked towards the tents of the other soldiers. A general must learn how to gather the morale of the army.
The results of the night attack were quickly counted. Based on the records of various recorders, the battle took place in this battle and killed more than 3,400 Qin troops, two lieutenants, and countless food and grass were burned. In addition, the Zhao army lost more than 200 people and injured more than 1,000 people, and the battle record was brilliant.
The first large-scale night attack achieved impressive results. King Zhao specially recruited Li Yu to enter the palace to commend him, adding a layer of his accumulated rewards, and hoped that Li Yu would continue to work hard. But Li Yu and most generals knew that only this first large-scale night attack would have such impressive results. In the days afterwards, the Qin army would strengthen its vigilance, and the Zhao army could even fight the border because the Zhao army could not afford it.
In the following days, the Zhao army began to raid the Qin army camp at night. In a month in September, it destroyed several Qin army camps. The Qin army lost more than 8,000 people, except those who could not go to the battlefield again, the Zhao army cavalry also suffered more than 2,000 losses. Li Yu led the team out of the city three times, the second time only burned the Qin army's food and grass, and the third time he returned in vain. The Qin army's garrison became increasingly strict, and the Zhao army, which could not afford to lose soldiers, could only give up many opportunities to win.
In October of the eighth year of King Dan of Zhao, the Qin general Wang Ling began his first large-scale attack on Handan, with a total of no less than 150,000 troops deployed, and continued to attack Ximen and South Gate of Handan.
"Rolling oil."
Seeing the Qin army pushing the cart that was pushing to the city gate, Li Yu spit out two words lightly. The boiling oil from a pot of boiling pot was poured down by Zhao Jun with equipment, which made the Qin army soldiers below so hot that they screamed.
The hard and cold shield was poured by boiling oil and immediately shattered. The archers shot Qin soldiers exposed under the shield from the mercedes in the rain of arrows one by one. The rocketers shot arrows with tinder oil onto the wheels of the storm, and the push truck stained with tinder oil burned.
The Qin soldiers guarding the chariot were so hot that they screamed by the sudden flames, and the clothes in the armor were also ignited. However, their pain ended soon, and arrows and stones falling from the sky quickly harvested their lives and turned into a lonely soul under the city of Handan.
He took a few personal guards to patrol the city wall and slashed the Qin soldiers who had just climbed up the city wall. Li Yu repeatedly waved the bronze sword in his hand, not knowing how many Qin soldiers had already been killed. In the past half month, from the beginning of being unacceptable, he has become a little numb, and his methods have become more and more nimble. He will basically not use a second sword when he cut a Qin soldier.
The Qin army had been attacking Handan City frantically for more than half a month. In the past half month, the Qin army's crossbowmen fired no less than one million arrows into Handan City, making the entire Handan City unrecognizable and constantly hitting the morale of the Handan defenders. The moat was also filled at the cost of the Qin army.
At this time, the Qin army could already forcibly climb the city of Handan with the ladder, but the Zhao army repelled the Qin army's attack again and again with its tenacious willpower, defending the city behind it with its life. This was the last barrier of Zhao State.
Handan City has completely become a harvester of life. Life may pass every second of the war. Both sides are persevering with perseverance, just to see who falls first.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The sound of the trumpet of the Qin army retreating, and the Qin army under the city retreated one after another, and took away the bodies of the Qin army soldiers under the city, leaving only the city walls that were a little blackened by the fire of war and the burned siege equipment.
Looking at the soldiers of Zhao State beside him who were protected by simple armor, the perseverance on his face was never frightened by the powerful offensive of the Qin army, Li Yu felt a sense of pride in his heart. This was a proud country and a country that should not be destroyed.
After inspecting the city walls and looking at the reserves of defensive materials, Li Yu returned to his tent. He now has five thousand soldiers and horses, so he naturally has his own general camp.
"General, when will we go to fight, my brothers have been holding it in for more than half a month."
"General, the brothers felt uncomfortable when they listened to the sound of the war drums."
"Yes, General, Handan is already in a critical moment. We are willing to abandon the war horses and be an infantry guarding the city."
"General..."
Shortly after Li Yu returned to the camp, several cavalry captains under his command came and asked for battle. The morale was extremely high, but the time was far from ripe.
"This matter has its own arrangements. If there are people who do not obey orders, they will be engaged in military law. If you are really idle, you will practice it hard. Then it will be your turn to fight, so don't embarrass me."
"Follow the order."
After dealing with the several commanders under his command, Li Yu picked up the military books on the table and read them. Looking at the twisted engravings on the bamboo slips, Li Yu threw them aside in depression.
There was no portable paper, and silk was the patent of the nobles. People at that time recorded the events with bamboo slips, limited to the size of the bamboo slips. The ancients tried to write them in concise words, concise and not even punctuation marks, which made Li Yu very depressed to read. Sometimes he could not understand the content at all. A military book moved dozens of bamboo slips. Li Yu, who had been in this world for more than half a year, was still very uncomfortable reading this kind of thing.
Without the mood to read the military book, Li Yu walked out of the tent, waved his hand to stop the guards from following, and rode his horse to his father's tent alone.
"Father, haven't you rested yet?"
"Yu'er, here, come and take a look. This is a letter from General Lian ordered people to send it to the city." Seeing his son coming, Li Mu handed over the silk in his hand. In addition to the hardships on the battlefield, Li Yu can already stand alone in many aspects.
