Time passes quietly in the waiting.

In mid-September, Wang Jian's army arrived outside Dai County and joined Meng Ao. The total number of troops on both sides was nearly 400,000. They camped ten miles south of Dai County, facing Dai County.

Dai County has also entered a state of preparation for war.

Jiang Qi personally led an army of 100,000 to control Dai County. The two camps in the east and west of the city guarded 40,000 cavalry respectively. The camps in the north of the city were adjacent to the Xiongnu. Jiang Qi ordered 20,000 cavalry to take charge of resisting the Xiongnu who could move south at any time, and at the same time prepared to support all parties.

The war is about to break out.

Jiang Yu has absolute confidence in the urban defense of Dai County. After years of operation, Dai County's urban defense has become like an iron barrel.

This is not just as simple as "easy to defend but difficult to attack". If Jiang Yan had enough logistical support, he would be able to use an isolated city to resist nearly one million troops.

The world's largest pass in this era, "Hangu Pass", is about ten feet high, but in fact, Hangu Pass is far less than thirty meters high.

Jiang Yu collected information about Hangu Pass, which was about eight or nine floors high in ordinary residential buildings in later generations.

Even so, Hangu Pass still has the title of "one man is the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it."

The city walls of Dai County are about fifteen meters high, nearly fifty meters high, about the height of thirteen or four-story buildings in later generations.

Even if Dai County does not have the natural danger of Hangu Pass, a city with a wall higher than Hangu Pass will not have the idea of ​​attacking this city when anyone sees it at first sight.

This city, which is completely made of huge stones, cement and fine iron, is the world's number one city in this era.

Even though Dai County is not as rich as some of the Central Plains royal cities, in terms of defense, there is no city in the world that can be compared with Dai County.

The defense power of Dai County is also the main reason why the wealthy businessmen and gentry are willing to come to Dai County to make a decision.

Wang Jian was thinking this moment.

After stationing outside Dai County, Wang Jian has inspected Dai County's urban defense three times.

For the first time, Wang Jian felt incredible, and he even thought he had hallucinated.

The second time, Wang Jian finally realized how terrifying the city defense in Dai County was, but when he returned to the camp, Wang Jian still couldn't help but take a look.

So Wang Jian inspected three times in succession to determine the defense of the county town.

“It’s really spectacular!”

Back in the camp, Wang Jian looked at Meng Ao and sighed: "Although our army has 400,000, I am afraid that facing Dai County..."

Wang Jian shook his head, his face still a little shocked: "Although I have heard that Dai County's urban defense is extremely powerful, I still feel unbelievable when I see it with my own eyes."

Meng Ao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just you. When I first saw Dai County, I was not much different from you!"

"For this city, Jiang Yu exhausted tens of thousands of Hun slaves. In addition, he hired the people of the county with his salary and gathered hundreds of thousands of people to build this city."

Wang Jian sat in the main seat and asked, "General Meng, you have been in charge of Dai County for several days. Can you get along with each other and defeat the enemy?"

Meng Ao shook his head, sat in Wang Jian's side position, and sighed: "Surprising the city is the best way to go. With the strength of our army, if we want to capture Dai County, we are afraid that nearly half of the troops will be lost."

"The most terrifying thing about Jiang Feng is that he is very rich!"

"Dai County can become what it is today in just a few years, and it was created by Jiang Yu spending hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"General Wang, the city defense you see today is just the periphery. General Wang has never seen the sharp weapons of the city defense on the city wall."

Wang Jian chuckled and said, "Although this general is not simple, he can guess it with guess."

Qin once used the danger of Hangu Pass to resist the coalition forces of the six eastern countries, and did not allow the troops of the six countries to step into Qin.

The Dai County wall even exceeded Hangu Pass.

Meng Ao chuckled and introduced: "Jiang Yu now has 200,000 troops, each of which is a powerful soldier in a hundred battles... Jiang Yu trains soldiers differently from us. He attaches the most importance to the body of soldiers and often uses meat as military rations."

"I heard that in order to make everyone in the army eat meat, Jiang Yu has built many pastures on the grassland and raised some cattle and sheep and other supplies. The people of Dai County even raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in every household, and Jiang Yu often spends money to purchase them."

Wang Jian was stunned when he heard this and chuckled, "I have heard of it before. After hearing what you said, Jiang Yu is indeed quite rich."

Meng Ao continued, "It's not over yet!"

"Jiang Yu's city, army, military supplies, etc. are all built with money... In this way, it is not difficult for us to think about how many military rations there are in the city."

"General Wang, although Zhao State has had a famine, Jiang Yu bought a lot of food some time ago."

"Even in our Qin State, many people sold food to Jiang Zi."

Wang Jian heard this and said hatefully: "It's time to kill!"

Meng Ao smiled and said, "I heard from the people in the net that Jiang Yu said what this is... Oh! By the way, it's called the power of capital!"

"Jiang Yu once said: Wealth and power go invincible everywhere... Now it seems that our Qin country may have been compromised by him."

Wang Jian frowned and pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "In other words, Jiang Xi not only has Dai County, which is as dangerous as Hangu, but also has 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, and there is no shortage of food, grass and supplies in the city... Is that true?"

Meng Ao nodded and said, "Yes!"

Wang Jian asked: "General Meng, how long does it take to capture Dai County and how many troops do you need to use?"

Meng Ao shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "General Wang, there is another point, you must not ignore it."

Wang Jian was stunned: "What?"

Meng Ao said: "The garrison of Dai County...but Jiang Xi himself!"

Wang Jian nodded slightly. He and Jiang Yan faced Ruo. To be honest, if Li Mu had no help from him, Wang Jian was not afraid of Jiang Yan.

Especially the confrontation between the two armies.

Wang Jian was confident that as long as he failed to get into Jiang Yu's strategy, his dignified royal army would be enough to defeat Jiang Yu's army in a decisive way.

But now it is a siege.

Jiang Yu took advantage of all the land and harmony with people. Unless a meteorite fell from the sky and hit Dai County, Wang Jian would not have much confidence to break Dai County.

Meng Ao laughed softly and answered Wang Jian's previous words: "General Wang, if we want to capture Dai County, we will be powerless with our current 400,000 troops."

"Don't forget that there are three camps in the east, west and north directions of Dai County. There are cavalry everywhere and can support everywhere at any time."

"Those camps are said to be military camps, but the surrounding city walls are not much worse than ordinary cities."

"Even if our army failed to attack Dai County with casualties, it was just exchanged for casualties with Jiang Yu."

Wang Jian's face was heavy.

It sounds nice to swap casualties, but in fact it is about consuming. It is not only about consuming logistics, but also about expenditures.

However, Jiang Xi had Dai County as a geographical advantage. If the Qin soldiers wanted to attack Dai County... would they have to change one ten to Jiang Xi's soldiers?

Wang Jian frowned and said, "Although the king intends to persuade Jiang Yan to surrender... General Meng, you also know that only after capturing Jiang Yan alive can Qin State get the greatest benefits."

"And now... I'm afraid Jiang Xi may not surrender to Qin."
