Chapter 264: The Decisive Battle of the Whole City (Part I)
Jiang Xinliang stood there in a daze, watching the back of the staggering slowly disappearing gradually getting smaller in his field of vision, but his mind was still thinking about what the old man said to him before leaving, if he wanted to think well, he had to let Gao Yuan live well.
The light flashed in his mind, on the way to Luliang Mountain, Jiang Jiaquan had said to himself, and in an instant, his heart was clear, so it was!
Gao Yuan can't die! Jiang Xinliang turned around, almost trotted back to the side of the war horse, turned over on the horse, "Let's go!" He shouted.
Almost when Jiang Xinliang led the army to set off, in the base camp of the Yan State Standing Army, the captain of Yan Guo and the general Zhou Yuan also received a letter of good news from Gao Yuan. After reading it twice over and over again, Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, compared to Jiang Dawei, Zhou Yuan did not doubt the authenticity of this good news at all.
Waving the good news in his hand, Zhou Yuan smiled at Zhou Yu and Tan Feng on the left and right, "Amazing, amazing, Zhou Yu, Tan Feng, compared to Gao Yuan, we are far behind!" Gao Yuan has taken the whole city and reported to me for his victory!"
"Gao Yuan took the whole city?" Zhou Yu and Tan Feng were both shocked, "This, how is this possible?" What's going on? The Yishui River is in the spring flood, and it is raining heavily these days, and it has hardly stopped, how did Gao Yuan take the whole city?"
Zhou Yu couldn't help but be surprised, they were by the Yishui River, because of the weather, it was difficult to move an inch.
"He just took advantage of a night of lightning and thunder and heavy rain to force the Yishui River, sneak attack the whole city, and succeeded in one fell swoop, killing thousands of enemies and capturing thousands of enemies, and capturing the whole city in one fell swoop." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
"This guy is lucky, he is not facing the standing army of Zhao State, but Zhao Qi's private army, and it will not be so easy to change the enemy opposite us!" Zhou Yu said enviously: "This time, Gao Yuan has made the first contribution."
"You can't say that, we are opposite the standing army of Zhao State, what we are carrying, but it is also the standing army of Yan State, and opposite Gao Yuan is Zhao Qi's private army, but what kind of goods this guy is bringing, we are all clear in our hearts. Didn't you say that after you came back from the last battle, Gao Yuan's descendants lost half of Thailand after that battle, so this time, he relied on that garbage. It's amazing." Tan Feng retorted, "Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't have the courage to force the Yishui River at such a moment, if I don't do it, the whole army will be annihilated!"
"Tan Feng has a point, Gao Yuan is indeed terrifying, not to mention his use of tactics, just because he can train a group of rabble to such a point in such a short period of time, it is already breathtaking." Zhou Yuan was thoughtful.
"My Dayan has to be a tough guy again!" Tan Feng nodded, "General, this is my great Yan's luck!" At present, Gao Yuan is young, and he has already mastered the magic of tactical application, and if time passes, his vision is broadened, and he has made some progress in the deployment of strategy, and he will inevitably become the dream of other countries, and he will not lose to Li Xin of Qin State and Zhao Mu of Zhao State."
Zhou Yu suddenly smiled, "I just don't know what kind of expression Ye Xiang will have on his face when he gets this news?" It's a mixed blessing, isn't it?"
Tan Feng is very funny: "What is happiness? What is worry?"
"Happy, my Dayan will achieve the success of this war, worried, Gao Yuan has made the first contribution in this battle, with this merit, it is more than enough to seal a Lang general, if the king is more generous and gives the title of a miscellaneous general, it is appropriate. Gao Yuan will return with a reputation, and he will be more famous in the world, at that time, the world will inevitably laugh at Ye Xiang's eyes and ignorance of gold and jade!" Zhou Yuda said with a smile.
Tan Feng slapped his thigh hard, "Wonderful, Gao Yuan's slap was extremely loud. But I think about it, Ye Xiang's face must be full of joy above the court, and when he returns home, he must be furious."
"Why is that?"
"Because after Lord Ning gets the battle report, he will definitely congratulate Ye Xiang on finding a good son-in-law in the court!" Tan Feng smiled.
Listening to Tan Feng's funny words, the generals of a big tent suddenly burst into laughter, and even Zhou Yuan couldn't help but laugh, but thinking about Yi Ning Zecheng's sour temperament, this kind of thing must have been done. smiled, but his brows furrowed again, as if he remembered something, and after a while, his brows relaxed, and there seemed to be a solution.
"Alright, alright!" He knocked on the table and stopped everyone's laughter, where was the majesty of the general, everyone quieted down, and their eyes turned to Zhou Yuan. Gao Yuan took the whole city, the joint defense of the five cities of Zhao has been broken, everyone also knows that Zhao Guo wanted to go to Fangcheng, Weicheng, Lincheng, confused city, the whole city, but it is not a random selection of five cities on the map, they originally planned to use these five cities as the main point, constitute a defensive line to deal with the attack of my Yan State, needless to say, it is Zhao Mu's handwriting, Zhao State should concentrate all its strength to deal with Qin State, deal with the Xiongnu, and prevent our Yan State from turning against them in the future, this is a good time to marry a princess into Yan Kingdom, and ask for these five cities, If it weren't for the lofty and outstanding surprise soldiers, the clever capture of the whole city, and the hard fight, it would be difficult for us to take these five cities, the five cities depend on each other, if a city is broken, it will be like an iron chain broken from the middle, and can no longer echo each other. After Zhao Qi was defeated, he retreated across the Yishui River, and he relied on the characteristics of these five cities to consume us, but now, his wishful thinking is about to go bankrupt."
"There's a problem!" Tan Feng raised his hand.
"Speak!"
"Although Gao Yuan occupies the whole city, can he hold it? The whole city is broken, Zhao Qi will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry, organize a counterattack, and fight a tough battle with the gang of soldiers under Gao Yuan's command, I am a little worried, if they recapture the whole city, we will be happy. Jiang Junshou's main force is closest to the whole city, the question is, will he go all out to support?" Tan Feng spread his hands and said.
"Jiang Junshou won't be so ignorant of the general situation and ignore the overall situation, right?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said.
"I can't say, I can't say!" Tan Feng shook his head again and again.
"What Tan Feng is worried about is also what I am worried about!" Zhou Yuan said slowly: "Tan Feng, your department will set off immediately to help the whole city, no matter what, you must protect the whole city."
"General, if I leave, how will you deal with Zhao Guang's cavalry?" Tan Feng said in surprise.
"It's okay!" Zhou Yuan smiled and raised his palms, "We have already taken the whole city, and then defend him, there are actually not many roads left in front of Zhao Qi and Zhao Guang, there are only two, one is to admit defeat and retreat and preserve strength, this is actually the best, but considering King Zhao's attitude and Zhao Qi's stubbornness, they may not necessarily do this. The second way is to gather troops under the whole city and start a decisive battle with our army, if they win this decisive battle, they will not only win back what they have lost, but also take advantage of the situation to attack our country and force our country to sign an alliance under the city."
"If they lose, they're afraid they won't even have pants on!" Tan Feng smiled: "We will win this battle." He shook his fist vigorously.
"We've won!" All the generals in the tent waved their fists and shouted.
Zhou Yuan stood up and laughed loudly, "Of course we won, and now, we have to prepare for this last battle according to the pattern of a decisive battle in the whole city, fellow comrades, we won this battle, not only won this battle, but it will also have a profound impact on the internal affairs of Zhao State. That's the best. Politics determines war, but in turn, the outcome of the war will affect the political situation. Ladies and gentlemen, I originally thought that this battle would take a year and a half, but I didn't expect that there would be a result soon, and after this battle, everyone could go home."
Inside the tent, the generals cheered again. The soldiers outside the big tent heard the cheers of the generals in the tent, although they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but the generals were cheering, of course it was a happy event, so they also cheered, slowly, the cheers resounded throughout the entire camp, hearing the cheers outside, Zhou Yuan smiled and stood up, "Tell the whole camp the lofty good news." Let everyone be happy and clear!"
Tan Feng walked to the center of the big tent with a smile, "General, then the general will go first."
On the east bank of the Yishui River, cheers resounded, but in the Weicheng on the west bank of the Yishui River, Zhao Guang, the general of the Standing Army of Zhao State, kicked over the tiger case in front of him, roared and walked around the hall, like a trapped beast.
Almost the time before and after, Zhao Guang also received the news that the whole city was lost.
"Counterattack, counterattack, take the whole city back immediately!" He roared at the messenger, "Did Lord Zhao launch a counterattack immediately and retake the whole city?"
The messenger was almost frightened by Zhao Guang's anger, and his words were a little unreasonable: "General Zhao, Lord Zhao sent a large army to attack the whole city on the day that the whole city was lost. By the time the villain set off, the attack had already begun. At this point, the whole city must have been recaptured."
Zhao Guang took a deep breath, "Go back and tell Lord Zhao that if we can't recapture the whole city in the shortest possible time, we will lose this battle, we will lose!"
"The villain understands, the villain understands!" The messenger escaped from the hall almost crawling on the ground, he was afraid that if he was too late, he would be cut in two by the enraged Zhao Guang.
"Someone, convene all the generals to discuss!" Zhao Guang closed his eyes, he had to stabilize his emotions, he couldn't let his generals see his anxiety, irritability was contagious.
Above the city, Gao Yuan carried a big knife, and cut down a Zhao soldier who climbed up to the city, this is the last one in this wave, carrying a bloody knife, Gao Yuan looked at the Zhao army who retreated like a tide, and breathed a sigh of relief, in one day, the Zhao army launched more than a dozen attacks without interruption, this time, they almost attacked the city.
On the city, there was blood everywhere, and when I saw the Zhao army retreating, almost everyone on the city wall sat down.
Yan Haibo and Xu Yuan rushed up with their troops, dragged and helped, and helped the soldiers on the city wall down, and it was their turn.
Gao Yuan divided the soldiers under his command into two groups, rotating the defense, among the thousands of soldiers, the only one who could not be rotated was him and his two hundred personal soldiers, they had to rush to the critical place at any time to save the danger.
In one day, Gao Yuan's subordinates were killed and wounded nearly 1,000 people, and the infantry was seriously wounded, and he couldn't draw the bow, but at this time, he could only do it in a hurry, with the people organized from the city, to hold the wounds for the wounded soldiers, and now, he can only do this.
Straighten up, the infantry looks into the distance, reinforcements, when will they arrive? (To be continued......)
