"Be sure to keep a close eye on the foot of the city!" Tian Zong patrols the city on the city wall. When every company commander comes forward to greet him, he will firmly remind him. Unfortunately, he has not finished his patrol, and a row of Qin troops rushed out of the camp from ten miles away. They were impartially next to Shenmen, using rushing cars as a cover and began to chisel the wall at the foot of the city.

The three gates in the west of the city, more than ten days ago, although the Qin cavalry retreated, the terrified Qi people blocked all three gates, leaving only one gate in the east city to connect with Jimo. Before, they were worried that the Qin army would break the gate with artillery, but now they were unable to attack because the city gate was blocked. Every time they chiseled under the city, it seemed to chiseled in Tian Zong and Tian Yang's heart.

"This, what should I do?" Tian Yang suddenly had no idea. The foot of the city was the most difficult position to defend, and the catapult was not able to reach the stone, and the rolling stones were blocked by the rushing carts under the city. He could only let the Qin people dig the city one by one. "So quickly..."

"No." Although the Qin army only sent a small army to dig the city under Shenmen, the cavalry had already been dispatched, occupying the northeastern and southwest corners respectively. Shi Yi was too marching at that time and lost more than 10,000 people under the charge of the Qin cavalry. "So quickly prepare to hang his spleen and beat the drum!"

"Send the order! Quickly prepare the spleen and beat the drum!" Tian Zong's order was passed down quickly. The drum sound was so loud that the Qin army under the city did not understand the reason, but the drum sound stopped after a while. They were not too surprised and still kept chiseling the wall.

Xianyang City is seven or two feet high and twenty-one feet thick. Although the Linzi city wall is short, it is more than ten feet thick. The walls start to be chiseled in the afternoon, and it will not be carved until tomorrow morning at least. However, time is urgent. After Tian Zong ordered, the whole city's hangs in the city gathered at Shenmen. When the dark curtain first fell, more than 100 hanging soldiers with dead soldiers crossed the female wall and hung on the outside of the city wall.

In order to prevent the Qi army from attacking, the Qin people at Shenmen were ignited before the sky was dark. The hanging spleen was lowered from the ten-meter-high city. The light became brighter the lower the lower the light. This must have been discovered by the Qin people. The place where the hanging spleen could only be selected from both sides of the Shenmen. At this time, the drum sounded again on time. With the sound of the drum, more than a hundred hanging spleens slowly hung down the top of the city.

From the afternoon, Linzi City beat the drum every hour. The sound of the drums initially frightened the Qin soldiers under the city, and they got used to it as they listened. However, they did not know that this was the intentional arrangement of Tian Zong. Taking advantage of the sound of the drums, he quickly hung his spleen. The dead soldiers in the spleen rushed to the Qin soldiers beside the chariot as soon as they hit the ground.

The sound of drums could cover up the sound, but it could not block the Qin people's fire. When they rushed to the bright place, the Qin soldiers immediately became alert and beat the police drum. For a moment, the city was full of drums. Hearing the drum sound, the Qin army three hundred steps away immediately reinforced the city. At this moment, the catapults in the city shot fire bombs. The fire bomb hit the ground and instantly a sea of ​​fire outside the city. The Qi soldiers standing on the top of the city saw countless Qin soldiers rushing towards them. After being hit by the fire bomb, they either threw down or were covered in fire and rolled on the ground.

The catapult only fired five times in a quarter of an hour, and it took no five minutes to hit the heavy infantry at a distance of 300 steps. When the second firing bomb was launched, the fastest Qin soldiers were no longer within the range of the catapult. At this time, the crossbowman on the top of the city shot and shot the arrows again, but the arrows only shot down some Qin soldiers who were unable to hold their shields while running.

The sound of drums outside the city shook the sky, and the generals in the gate were extremely quiet. Tian Zong was even more sleeping. When Sima Tian Bu of Shenmen reported that the Qin army had been pulled away from the city by the Qi army's death, Tian Zong opened his eyes and nodded slightly at Tian Bu.

"Do!" Tian Bu, who left Quelou, slapped his subordinates slightly. Dozens of large tanks of light oil in the city quickly poured out of the female wall. Qi Qin soldiers, who were fighting desperately, were immediately poured from their heads to their feet by light oil. When they smelled the oil, they were shocked. Some Qi army soldiers even pointed at the top of the city. When the dead soldiers left the city, Tian Bu told them that they could return to the city by taking advantage of the sun, but now they suddenly dripped light oil, obviously wanting them to die here.

"The noble man has no trust..." Accompanied by desperate questioning, dozens of fires were thrown down from the city. "Boom...", coal coke light oil exploded, and all the soldiers under the city rushed into the sea of ​​fire. The Qi soldiers who questioned the city were covered in fire but stood still. Until the rising flames rushed to the city and rushed into the dark sky, he slowly fell down.

"Did the Qin people dig the city?" There was a fire under the city. Tian Yang was the most anxious among the generals in the Que Tower. Before the fire was ignited, he was asking the Fu Ying.

"Chirish..." Fu Ying was listening to a four-stone Tao Ying wrapped in leather. Tao Ying was buried at the top of the city, five feet deep. He wanted to say that he was still chiseling, but the sound soon disappeared. He quickly changed his mouth and said, "It's not chiseling."

"It's not really chiseled?" The fire was raging under the city, and both armies were still beating drums. The sound of chiseling the city, which was originally extremely clear, can no longer be heard. Tian Yang was overjoyed when he heard the words of Fu Ying, and he also went to listen to Tao Ying.

"It's not chiseled! It's not chiseled!" After hearing this for a moment, Tian Yang shouted, dancing with excitement.

"It's just a slowdown." Tian Zong did not have Tian Yang's joy. The Qi army could not leave the city, and the catapults and arrows could not stop the Qin army from rushing to the city. The light oil that exploded when encountering fire was imported from the State of Chu. It was mainly used for catapults. In the afternoon, hundreds of light oil in the fire bombs were poured out before setting off such a fire. The fire could not last long.

Tian Zong's judgment was completely correct. When the fire under the city gradually stopped, the burning rushing car was pulled away by the Qin soldiers. The new rushing car was parked at its original position. Thousands of Qin soldiers holding shields stood at the position where the stone rolling wood could not hit, allowing arrows to thump on the shield. The sound of chiseling the city sounded again after only one hour. Tian Yang, Tian Bu and others were ashamed when they heard the sound.

As the sky was getting brighter, Wang Jian took a shower on time. The maid who was waiting for him was still pressed into the bathtub and beaten him. After the fight, he changed his clothes and entered the shogunate. The generals were already waiting, and they bowed to the left and right to tell the story of last night. He asked, "How about digging the city?"

"Report to General: It will take another hour." Wang Jian slept well that night, but Wang Ao did not sleep all night. He was a young man, and there was no sign of tiredness on his face, but he was happy because of the upcoming bombing of the city.

"Can it work?" Wang Jian remained silent. He exploded the city wall and attacked the Qin army into the city. Perhaps he could capture the King of Qi and destroy the State of Qi, but it didn't matter if he couldn't. He did not expect to eliminate Linzi this time.

Before Wang Ao answered, he stood on one side and witnessed the Lantian city wall exploding into the sky and said first: "After the sound of the witch medicine, it shocked the earth. In this way, Linzi will definitely go down."

"It's good!" Wang Ao was at least 90% sure of bombing the city. When the Qin army attacked Tancheng on the way, he used a small amount of gunpowder to test it once, but because he was not experienced enough, he set off a large firework. The accompanying Mohist craftsman then tried it several times. The final suggestion was to be sure to plug the hole in the fatal hole. Only by plugging the hole in the fatal hole can the power of the witch medicine overturn the city wall.

"Good!" Wang Jian's expression suddenly became solemn. He said: "In this battle, only two cities in the north and south are surrounded by the east city. The cavalry should not chase the Qi people who left the city."

"Only!" The confidant advisers have already arranged how to attack after the city walls. Wang Jian only emphasized the principle of surrounding three quors and one. If the Qi people could not see the hope of breaking through, they would definitely trap beasts in Linzi City and fight.

The Qin army had more than 40,000 cavalry, and after all 300,000 Qi troops broke out, they then used cavalry to pursue and attack, turning the siege into a pursuit battle. This would be the most cost-effective to kill the enemy. The orders of Wang Jian of the shogunate issued, and the generals returned to the camp one after another. In the midst of the dynasty, one lieutenant of the Qin army, who had finished breakfast, left the camp and went to Linzi ten miles away.

Every tactical innovation requires countless lives to be realized, but for Xiong Jing, tactical innovation is not difficult. A brief trace of the tactics of gunpowder explosion in the city first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The battle example he knew was that Li Zicheng exploded Kaifeng. It was not difficult to use tactics more than a thousand years later at this time. The key is to have enough gunpowder.

The Qin army learned the tactics of bombing the city by imitating the Chu army. The Qi army also knew how to deal with the tactics of bombing the city because of the negotiations with the Chu State. After the city was chiseled, the Qin army wanted to send several tons of gunpowder to the city, the last batch of light oil from the city poured down wildly. The one carrying the gunpowder was a solid rushing car, but the rushing car instantly fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Strangely, these launching gunpowder rushes only burned without exploding. When the fire stopped a little, the Qin soldiers pulled away the fire rushes with arrows, a new batch of rushes were launched from the Qin army array. Tian Yang, Tian Bu and others called for being deceived, but they didn't expect that this batch of rushes were fake. A total of four rushers in the Qin camp pushed them to the city.

The Qi people were cunning. If the Qin people had the clerks of the Three Jins, they would be cunning than the Qi people. It was confirmed that the Qi people had no tincture oil. The fifth batch of chariots that were actually loaded with gunpowder were pushed out of the Qin camp, and the soldiers loaded gunpowder into the cave under the city. The Qi army, who had no choice but to withdraw from this section of the city wall, and some soldiers retreated to the low wall behind the city to defend against the Qin army that invaded the city.

At this time, Tian Jian, the King of Qi in the royal city, became a little panicked. The Qin army was 500,000, and the Ji army was only 300,000. Even if the Ji army tried many tricks in the city, they might not be the opponent of the Qin army with artillery. Tian Jian asked the Chu army again and again where they were walking, and at the same time, he urgently asked Feixun to sue the King of Chu, claiming that the Qin army was about to break the city.

Every time Tian Jian asked, Sima Tianshu would answer that the Chu army was a hundred miles away and repeatedly explained the reasons why the Chu army arrived late:

The 170,000 people from the Chu-Zhao-Wei coalition forces traveled 60 miles a day in the Chu State, but they could not walk 60 miles once they entered Qi State. The reason was not that the Qi people were not welcomed, and the local counties and townships did not cooperate. Five years ago, some Chu troops returned from Muling Pass, and the people along the way were harmless, and Qi people were very happy. The reason why the Chu army was unable to advance 60 miles a day was that the official road of Qi State could not support the passage of heavy artillery vehicles. The engineers had to temporarily strengthen some bridges and clear some obstacles before the army could advance.

The itinerary that could be completed in twenty days could not be completed, but the result was the current situation. The Qin people arrived in Linzi and the Chu army was still a hundred miles away. Tian Shu explained this, but Tian Qi and others believed that it was a intentional delay by the Chu army. The official road from Muling Pass to Linzi was extremely wide, so why can't they go sixty miles?
