Chapter 266: The Decisive Battle of the Whole City (Part II)
A spring flood came suddenly, and went in a hurry, after a night, the river that was still mighty yesterday suddenly receded, revealing a thick black silt, and the submerged and overwhelmed grass fell languishingly in the muddy water, and the fish who did not have time to go with the water, in the dirty muddy water, wagged their tails as hard as they could, trying to struggle to plunge back into the river that was flowing down the river in the distance, but the distance that was usually within reach was now out of reach.
A large piece of wooden rafts fell from the sky and slapped heavily into the mud, slapping the struggling fish deep into the mud, never to get out again. Row after row was thrown into the mud, bundles of grass and branches were thrown down, soldiers were coming and going, and in the distance, mountains of trees were piled up, grass was ready-made, and now it was just a matter of putting them where they should be.
Jiang Xinliang rode on the river embankment, watching the soldiers quickly use these giant trees, grass, and branches to build a passage to the other bank, and he was a little distracted. Gao Yuan had already prepared what he needed now, could it be that he had already thought of this scene before the war!
If this is the case, then such a person is so powerful that it is almost a last resort, and if he is really such a person, why does he repeatedly put himself in a desperate situation? He really couldn't understand this man.
Jiang Jiaquan's parting words woke up Jiang Xinliang like thunder, yes, Gao Yuan can't die, if Gao Yuan dies, wouldn't Ye Jing'er have broken her hope, she broke her hope, maybe she will break the jar and break it, really marry her father, be a cheap stepmother for herself, and give birth to a few younger brothers, so what will she do in the future? If the father continues the string to an ordinary family, it doesn't matter, and his mother's family can still open his eyes for himself, but if he marries the daughter of the prime minister, what about the daughter of the first noble family of Dayan? Even if the Ye family is far from what it used to be, the shadow of the famous tree, the Ye family, which has been inherited in Dayan for a hundred years, can not be compared to his father.
Gao Yuan can't die!
Jiang Xinliang has never worked so hard, with 10,000 Yuyang soldiers, rushed all the way to the other side of the city, originally worried about the Yishui River with a big flood, worried about how to cross the river, but did not expect to get to the river, the spring flood has gone, the Yishui River has returned to its original appearance, even the wooden rafts, grass, branches, and Gao Yuan who have been flowing through the mud and sewage have been prepared for him.
Jiang Xinliang couldn't help but feel cold.
The place of crossing the river is only more than 20 miles away from the whole city, but when the Zhao army on the other side saw his reinforcements appear on the other side of the river, they have already retreated and retreated, and set up camp not far from the whole city. By the time the 1st Support Army crossed the Yishui River and appeared on the west bank of the river, everything had already settled.
Gao Yuan didn't expect that at the most dangerous time in the city, the reinforcements that appeared were actually led by Jiang Xinliang, looking at this guy who was covered with dirt and a tired face, Gao Yuan was surprised, but he still stepped forward in person, grabbed the reins of the horse for Jiang Xinliang, and sincerely said thank you to him.
Jiang Xinliang arrived in the city as quickly as possible, saving at least half of the lives of his sons, this is a big favor, Gao Yuan must bear it.
Jiang Xinliang looked at Gao Yuan, there was still a lingering disgust in his eyes, he didn't feel any joy at all for Gao Yuan personally coming to pull the horse for him and thank him, looked at the other party, and said coldly: "You don't need to thank me, I'm not as noble as you think, I came so quickly, just because I don't want you to die, you die, it will only be bad for me, not good."
Looking at Gao Yuan's stunned eyes, he bent down on the horse and lowered his voice, "The surname is Gao, try to live, hurry up and marry that damn Ye Jing'er, I don't want to have such a cheap stepmother." After finishing his sentence, he raised his horsewhip and hit the horse with a heavy blow, and in the neighing of the horse, he raised his hooves and galloped away, almost bringing Gao Yuan to a heel. Yan Haibo, who was following Gao Yuan, couldn't help but be furious, "I don't know whether the dog is alive or dead, when I tied you down from Luliang Mountain, I should have whipped you a few times."
Gao Yuan stood firm, looking at Jiang Xinliang's distant figure, Jiang Dawei had always wanted his own life The reason was finally figured out, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly, this Jiang Xinliang is indeed not a gentleman, but at least he is a real villain, even if he is a squirrel, but he is also extremely cute, at least now he is cute in Gao Yuan's eyes.
Somehow having such a temporary ally made Gao Yuan a little ridiculous.
"Xiao Yanzi, be polite to this Jiang Gongzi in the future, even if you can't be friends, he won't be our enemy. Anyway, this time he came to the rescue at such a fast speed, we have to admit his affection, on Luliang Mountain, we have humiliated him, if it were me, it would not have been a good color." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.
"I know this reason, but I just can't get angry with his high-minded appearance, how about the nobles, how about the county guard, didn't let me be tied up like a wild boar at the beginning!" As he spoke, Yan Haibo couldn't help laughing. This kind of person is just a bad beater, and good words can make him annoying, and he annoyed me that day, so I will first thank him sincerely, and then beat him hard."
Listening to Yan Haibo's funny words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Fang Cheng, Zhao Qi's face was Muna, in front of him, there was Zhao Dong's corpse, under the whole city, he who was supervising the battle, saw Zhao Dong fall from the high city wall, like a dead leaf, fell to the ground, and the pool of blood on the ground was splashed with pieces of blood, and his eyes were red. Zhao Dong is his deputy general, but also his brother, is the most talented general in the family, the most reluctant, but died at the hands of a little-known Yan general, he is heartbroken.
After countless crazy attacks, the Great Yan banner above the whole city was still flying high, until on the other side of the city, tens of thousands of Yuyang soldiers appeared, and Zhao Qi understood that the war had completely departed from the predetermined track of Zhao State, and it was rapidly sliding in another unpredictable direction.
The attack stopped, the Zhao army set up camp, and Zhao Qi returned to Fangcheng with Zhao Dong's corpse. Zhao Guang was also on the way to come, and in front of Zhao Qi, there were only two ways, either to negotiate peace with Yan Guo and withdraw from the war in disgrace, or to fight the whole city and fight to the death. Negotiation of peace, for a country like Yan, is a decent truce, but for Zhao, the second largest power in the world, it is not a declaration of defeat.
If even the Yan State can't be won, what will the Zhao State use to deter Qi, Wei, Han and Chu, what to use against the Qin State, what to use against the Xiongnu, and launch the whole body with one lead, if this battle is lost, it means that the Zhao State will come down from the altar of the second in the world, and it will no longer have the momentum of deterring countries in the past.
Zhao Guo can't accept such an end, Zhao Qi can't accept it, and Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji can't accept it. Zhao Qi looked up to the sky and roared, stretched out his hand and pulled the white cloth, covering Zhao Dong's face.
"Zhao Qi, are you old? Where's your blood?" His roaring roar resounded in the hall, "The humiliation of Zhao Guo must not appear in the hands of my Zhao Qi."
Heavy footsteps came from outside the hall, Zhao Guang strode in directly from the outside, and saw Zhao Dong's body in the center of the hall, he stood still for a moment, bowed slightly, death is great, no matter what mistakes Zhao Dong made on the battlefield, he had already used his life to save his glory.
Death, for a general, is sometimes the best way to get rid of it, and it is also the most glorious return.
Zhao Qi stared at Zhao Guang with blood-red eyes and looked at Zhao Guang, "Zhao Guang, I am not old yet, I still have my blood bravery, I still have the determination to fight to the death to regain victory, if not, just like Zhao Dong, I will die on the battlefield, and I will not live up to the glory of my Zhao clan, do you dare to fight?"
Zhao Guang looked at Zhao Qi silently, "Lord Zhao, retire the army, negotiate peace!" In this battle, we only have a three-point chance of winning at most, which is the situation that Zhou Yuan dreamed of, a decisive battle for the whole city. But this is not what we want, the Yan army is far superior to our army in terms of strength and logistical preparations, and more importantly, their morale is booming, and ours, morale has fallen to the lowest point. Zhao Dong's death in battle is an unbearable burden for us."
"Don't you dare to fight? Are you scared?" Zhao Qi said angrily: "Decisive battle for the whole city, fight to the death, as long as you win, all of them are ours, land, population, glory, and the prestige of my Great Zhao. Where is your courage to resist the Qin army, and where is your courage to fight against the Xiongnu with Zhao Mu? You coward, you are not worthy of being my Great Zhao's general, you are not worthy of the glory of a nobleman."
Zhao Guang took a deep breath, and a trace of anger flashed on his face. Lord Zhao, this time is also that time. Do you want to risk tens of thousands of Zhao Jun's lives to gamble on the odds of winning 30%? You must know that at this time, the Zhao State was in a storm, suffering from enemies on all sides, we admitted defeat, negotiated peace, and lost only face, but retained the strength of tens of thousands of soldiers. Yan State is different from Qin State, their appetite is very small, all they want is these five cities, don't hurt me Da Zhao Gen, our biggest enemy is Qin State, not Yan State."
"You don't have a face, I Zhao Qi still wants face, and the king still needs face!" Zhao Qi screamed frantically.
"I won't agree to you fighting the whole city!" Zhao Guang shook his head, "Lord Zhao, the standing army under my command will not participate."
Zhao Qi's private army has suffered heavy losses, if the standing army under Zhao Guangtong's command does not participate, let alone a three-percent chance of winning, Zhao Qi will not even have the slightest chance of winning, looking at Zhao Guang with a resolute face, Zhao Qi suddenly sneered, "Zhao Guang, have you forgotten who is the general?" Reaching into his arms, he took out the tiger talisman and held it high, "Zhao Guang, kneel!"
Looking at the tiger talisman given by King Zhao himself, Zhao Guang knelt down helplessly, "Decisive battle in the whole city, take your army, go to the battlefield in the whole city, fight to the death with the Yan army, and annihilate the Yan army."
Zhao Guang propped up the ground with both hands, "Don't follow orders!" I will write to the king and ask him to order the withdrawal of the army."
Zhao Qi sneered, "Come on, take down this bastard who doesn't obey military orders!"
Outside the hall, several soldiers poured in, looked at Zhao Guang on the ground, rushed up, and tied Zhao Guang's hands.
"Pass my general order, Zhao Guang disobeyed the military order, from now on, remove all duties, put me in prison first, and then come to punish him after I defeat the Yan army, and the Weicheng Standing Army will be replaced by the deputy general Zhao Meng. Take it away!" Zhao Qi waved his hand. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
