Chapter 465
Fangcheng battlefield, Luguan.
Lian Po stood on his chariot and looked at the Qin army's defense line in front of him with a very uneasy expression.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the Luguan defense line now seems to have been looted, and it is everywhere. The originally magnificent Great Wall on the mountains has been broken into pieces, and only the core point of the central defense line is still there.
Yes, eleven days have passed, the damn Lu Pass is still there, and the damn Qin people in Lu... Of course, they are still there.
"When I see the ghost, how can the Koreans defend it, and the Qins defend it. Is there any country under the heavy artillery of our Zhao State that cannot be defended under the sky?"
Zhao She couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "What are you thinking? There are lessons from the past. If the Koreans and Qin people do not make some defenses and supplements, they can easily break through their defense like Hangu Pass, then their brains will be too bad, right?"
Lian Po shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think their brains are so good now. If possible, it's better not to use them so well."
Beside the two were thousands of troops of the Zhao army, and on the front of the battlefield, many Zhao army soldiers were struggling to attack the Qin people's Luguan defense line.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the rushing car and the building car slowly rushed towards Guancheng, with countless Zhao soldiers following closely behind.
On the wide pass, countless dense arrows shot down from the wall, harvesting the lives of one Zhao army soldier after another.
From time to time, huge whistling sounds sounded in the sky, and stone bombs fell from the sky and smashed heavily on the wall, directly crushing several unlucky Qin defenders into meat paste, and then making a big hole on the wall.
The battle was very fierce, and the number of casualties on both sides was rising, but the main general of either side would not choose to give up at this time.
No matter how you say it, no matter how you complain, both Lian Po and Zhao She have a relatively relaxed expression, which can be felt from their tone.
They could already see that the Qin people were at the end of their power.
Lian Po looked at it for a while and said, "Old Zhao, if we break through Lu Pass, what kind of order will the king give us next?"
Zhao She said: "Either go north to destroy South Korea first, or go south to continue to completely cut off Bai Qi's retreat."
Lian Po asked: "Which one do you think the king would ask us to choose?"
Zhao She glared at Lian Po: "I am not the roundworm in the king's belly, how do I know?"
Lian Po hummed a few times: "Don't you usually call yourself a master of strategy?"
Zhao She spread her hands: "That's for you, if I am in front of the king, I, Zhao She, will be a strategic disciple."
Lian Po spat: "Single!"
Zhao She rolled her eyes: "I have no brains!"
The two Zhao army generals were in a very good mood, mainly because they had too great advantages in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness.
On the other side, the situation of the Qin army was completely the opposite.
Pu Kaijie, the general of Qin who was in charge of the front line of Luguan, hurried to the front of the Qin King and said in a deep voice: "King, our troops are getting smaller and smaller, and we will be unable to support it!"
As he spoke, several loud noises came, and it was Zhao's heavy artillery bombardment again.
Although Qin State is the defensive side, Zhao State also created a large number of siege equipment, which combined with its numerical advantage and powerful combat power, caused great damage to the Qin army.
After all, the Zhao army had a total of 150,000 people, and although the Qin army repeatedly recruited troops, the total number was still not half that of the Zhao army.
This is the huge gap in the national strength of the two countries today, and it is not something that human power can change.
The King of Qin looked solemn, but he did not lose any ruthlessness. Instead, he slowly said: "How many people can be used now?"
Pu Kaijie said without hesitation: "There are still about 40,000 people who can use it, but only 20,000 people who are truly capable of combat."
The King of Qin said: "Then keep holding on."
Pu Kaijie was anxious: "King, this won't work. The Zhao army's long-range attack is really amazing, and the morale among the army is also declining day by day. If it continues, it may be really conquered by the Zhao army!"
"Bold!" A Qin official standing beside the King of Qin couldn't help but scold him: "How did you talk to the King?"
Pu Kaijie woke up and hurriedly knelt down and apologized.
The King of Qin shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, get up."
Pu Kaijie stood up.
The King of Qin looked at Pu Kaijie and said in a gentle tone: "I know all the things you said, but what I know more is that Lu Pass cannot be lost. As long as we can still defend it, Lu Pass must not be lost. This is not only for Lu Pass, but also for the entire Qin!"
The King of Qin said nothing wrong.
If we can block Lian Po's Zhao army at Lu Pass, then once Bai Qi wins and returns to the Central Plains, Qin will still have the hope of stalemate with Zhao with the help of Chu's national strength.
Once you lose, the strategy of the entire Qin State will be equivalent to being directly divided into two battlefields, east and west by Zhao State, and the subsequent battle situation will be too difficult.
Pu Kaijie stood stunned for a while, nodded vigorously and said, "I understand."
After saying this, Pu Kaijie bowed to the King of Qin and rushed out without looking back.
Looking at Pu Kaijie's departure back, King Qin sighed and his fists clenched slightly under his sleeves.
You must... stick to it.
A loud noise suddenly broke out in Lian Po's ears from close range, which scared Lian Po.
Lian Po turned his gaze to the heavy artillery position in front of him in surprise, and happened to see the wreckage of one of the heavy artillery being smoked, next to it were numerous fragments and dozens of Zhao artillery soldiers who were dead or injured.
Lian Po rubbed his temples and cursed his mother fiercely: "Can these craftsmen make the quality of heavy artillery better?"
Zhao She also sighed and said, "I heard the king say in class last time when I went back, now our Da Zhao's technology can only reach this level."
Lian Po said helplessly: "There are only two of the five heavy artillery left now. If you fight for a few more days, will all of them be scrapped?"
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, there was another loud noise, and the two of them turned their heads together.
This time, a loud noise came from afar.
In the sight of Lian Po and Zhao She, a stream of smoke rose into the sky, and many sands and stones rushed down from the city walls.
They are so familiar with this scene.
