Daily Life In Qin Dynasty Chapter 128

  Chapter 128 caught up with the good times

   I can only see the front of the crowd.

  Wusui City, which was originally in ruins, has disappeared.

   Instead, a fortress with a city wall that was much taller than before stood up, blocking everyone.

  On the city wall, at least hundreds...even thousands of elite Qin soldiers in black armor are patrolling back and forth.

  Looking at the sudden appearance of the city wall and the sudden appearance of the Qin army, Hu Zhe's pupils shrank suddenly.

  In the current situation Zhao Jun is in, the sudden appearance of the city wall is like a moat, completely blocking Zhao Jun's last retreat.

   "This is Wu Sui?"

  In just five days, such a high wall appeared outside Wusui City, and even Hu Zhe couldn't help but wonder if he had gone the wrong way.

  However, when the adjutant next to him looked at the marching map for a dozen breaths, he finally nodded with certainty and said, "General, that's right, this is Wu Sui."

  As soon as this remark came out.

   Hu Zhe couldn't help being startled and said angrily, "Absurd? How could it be Wu Sui here?"

at this time.

  I saw another adjutant suddenly approached and said, "General, could this be Qin Jun's trick?"

  Hearing this, Hu Zhe immediately calmed down a bit, his eyes flashed, and said: "You mean..."

  The adjutant affirmed: "No one in this world can build such a city wall within five days. If the stone slurry is still wet, no matter how tall the city wall looks, it will be vulnerable in the end."

  After listening to the analysis of the lieutenant general.

   Hu Zhe thought for a moment, and felt that what the other party said made sense.

   Even he has never heard of anyone who can build a wall several feet high in five days. After all, it takes more than five days for the stone slurry that glues the wall joints to solidify.

   This is the end of the thought.

   Hu Zhe also gradually calmed down, and regained his previous calm state of mind.

   "Send our military orders and prepare to attack the city."

   Hu Zhe ordered the military order, and decided to test the reality of the Qin army on the opposite side first.

However······

  The siege battle has just begun.

   Zhao Jun suffered a head-on blow.

  Because this miraculously appearing city wall is not at all a city wall built by a 'blindfold' as the 'adjutant' guessed.

   Quite the opposite.

  This new 'Wusui City Wall' is not only taller than the previous Wusui City, but also not inferior in hardness to those bluestone brick walls.

  The army of more than 70,000 troops attacked continuously for a long time, not only failed to capture Wusui, but caused heavy losses to themselves.

   "Boom~~"

   "How could such a thing happen?"

  Seeing this result, Hu Zhe in the tent suddenly turned pale, and slammed his fist on the marching table.

this moment.

  Even if Hu Zhe didn't want to believe it anymore, he had to admit that the Qin army really built a 'City of Miracles' within five days.

  At the same time, he finally understood why the Qin army had been chasing them all the way after defeating them in Yanmen.

   This is not a mistake in the command of the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, but that they have been calculated from the beginning.

   "Damn it, how the **** do these guys do it?"

   "General, what should we do now?"

   "Do you need to retreat in a different direction?"

  The adjutants who followed Hu Zhe were obviously veterans who had experienced many battles. Even if they suddenly encountered such an accident, they didn't panic too much. Instead, they calmly made one suggestion after another to Hu Zhe.

  However, in the end, these suggestions were all rejected.

   "No need to change direction, it's too late."

  Hu Zhe shook his head and rejected the suggestion of the last adjutant, saying: "If we had changed directions half a day ago, there might still be a chance to retreat, but now, there is no time."

   "Now we have only one last road..."

   Speaking of this, Hu Zhe's eyes suddenly flashed a stern light, and he said firmly: "Pass my military order, all soldiers discard all unnecessary debris and prepare to attack Wu Sui."

   When retreating before, Hu Zhe had already noticed that the Qin army had two teams forming a huge encirclement circle from the left and right wings.

  If they had just arrived outside Wusui before, they had decisively chosen to retreat in another direction, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope to evacuate.

  But now, the Qin army's two-wing encirclement is estimated to have formed.

  Even if Hu Zhe leads the troops to retreat from both sides now, there is a high probability that they will eventually be overtaken by the Qin army.

  So for Zhao Jun.

  The best choice for them now is to break through the 'natural moat' in front of them from the front and retreat to the territory of Zhao State. This is their last ray of hope.

   Following Hu Zhe's order.

  The soldiers of the Qin Army on the wall of Wusui suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

  However, siege and defense have never been difficult. Although there are only a thousand soldiers of the Qin army in Wusui City, with the help of the defensive power of the city wall fortress, it is enough to last for a while even in the face of tens of thousands of troops.

   What's more, the logistical dry food that the thousand of them carried on this trip was unprecedentedly sufficient.

   "Hahaha~~ Boy, are you dying?"

  Behind the stone wall of the city, the recruit Lu Wei suddenly sat down on the ground, with a bit of pain on his face.

   And on his right shoulder, a feathered arrow was inserted straight into it.

Veteran Dajiang walked over under the cover of the city wall. Seeing the appearance of Lu Wei, not only was he not worried, but he also grinned and said, "I really don't know whether you are unlucky or lucky. With an injury like yours, if it was the same as before, At least half the probability will hang up."

   "However, who made Ni boy catch up with the good time, and now there is the 'Daqin Knife Creation Medicine' invented by Mr. Shengping. Your kind is just a small wound."

   "Hold on, I'll help you pull out the arrow first, and then apply some medicine to you."

  The arrow was not inserted deeply, so there was no need to worry about the barb of the arrow, so the veteran Dajiang directly pulled the feather arrow out of the reed, then applied medicine to him, and the bandage was soon completed.

   "Okay, you'll be fine after applying the medicine, just take advantage of this time, let's have some food first!"

  After treating the wound, the veteran Dajiang took out two pottery bowls from nowhere, both of which were filled with tall rice, took one and put it in front of the reed.

For such a large amount of food, Lu Wei is obviously not surprised, he directly picked up the pottery bowl and stuffed a handful of rice into his mouth, but as soon as the rice ate, Lu Wei couldn't help frowning, saying: "It's so salty! "

Hearing this, the veteran Da Jiang immediately rolled his eyes and said, "You really don't know what to do, you still think the food is salty, do you know how expensive the salt is? You must know that we used to march and fight, not to mention salt, even I often don't get enough to eat.”

   "If it weren't for Mr. Shengping who came from the same background as us, thinking of us little people, we wouldn't be able to fight such a rich battle even in eight lifetimes!"

   "Okay, eat quickly, don't waste time, Zhao Jun's next attack is coming soon."
