Chapter 64: The Fall of the King (II)
Ji Kang knew that at this time, Zhao Jun no longer had any power to return to the sky.
Stood up, smiled, and bowed to Rong Oyster in return:
"The general will go by himself, and the widow is waiting here to set up a banquet for you to celebrate your achievements."
Tian Guang, the commander of the palace guards, also came to Ji Kang's side and knelt on his knees.
His eyes lit up, and he looked at Ji Kang and said, "Your Majesty, please let the last general lead the palace guards to kill the enemy with General Rong Xuan." ”
Ji Kang laughed and said to Tian Guang: "Go!" The widow is allowed. ”
Tian nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Tian Guang walked down the command platform with Rong Yan, stepped on the war horse, pulled out the war knife, and roared angrily:
"Palace Guard, charge!"
The palace guards who escorted Ji Kang stepped on the war horses together, and ran forward with Rong Yan and Tian Guang.
Wang Xu, of Zhao Wang Dan, has come to the confrontation between the two armies of Yan and Zhao.
The momentum of the Zhao army was greatly boosted, and they began to counterattack the Yan army.
Many Zhao soldiers knew that they were dead, but they also pounced on the Yan army, and the entire battlefield became even more bloody.
In the process, the veteran Lian Po closely followed Zhao Wangdan's chariot and led the army to fight to the death against the Yan army.
Liu Sheng, the general who commanded the Yan Army in the middle lane, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This Zhao Wangdan is really bold, and he actually fought a bloody battle with our army in person."
Zhao Wangdan was on top of the chariot, covered in blood, leading the Zhao army to fight hard.
Suddenly, Zhao Wangdan found that there was no Yan army blocking the front.
Looking up, he saw that on the opposite side of him, many Yan troops had lined up in formation, waiting for him. The Yan cavalry and the infantry's crossbowmen were even densely arranged, aiming at themselves and the Zhao army behind them.
Zhao Dan laughed, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered to the sky:
"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the descendants of Zhao Dan are coming to see you."
Immediately, he opened his eyes and shouted loudly to the surrounding Zhao soldiers:
"The soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom, charge with the widows and fight to the death!"
Lian Po and other Zhao soldiers shouted casually: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
shouted, and the generals followed Zhao Wangdan and rushed towards the Yan army in front.
With a "buzz", the arrows in the Yan army's array rose into the air like dark clouds.
The arrows were like raindrops, and Zhao Wangdan, who was charging, and the veteran Lian Po and other Zhao soldiers fell!
Zhao Wangdan's chariot stopped, and Zhao Wangdan's body was full of arrows.
Zhao Dan was on top of the chariot, holding the sword in his hand with both hands, and tried his best to straighten his body. looked at Lian Po, the veteran who was accompanying him, and at this time his whole body was also full of arrows, his tiger eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.
"Cheap ...... Lian Po ...... Will...... General ......"
Zhao Dan raised his right hand and supported the crown on his head.
He sighed softly, closed his eyes, and slowly lowered his head.
A flash of lightning exploded, and the sky and the earth were snow-white, and the raindrops crackled and fell.
With the death of Zhao Wangdan, veteran Lian Po, Pang Xuan, and many Zhao army generals, the collapse of the Zhao army has become unstoppable. In the heavy rain, many soldiers of the Zhao army began to flee in all directions.
The Yan army couldn't go there any better, the heavy rain was pouring down, and the sky and earth were like day and night, and the Yan army couldn't command normally.
The sound of "disarming and not killing" has been heard everywhere on the battlefield.
"Report! On the king of Qiyu, our army won a great victory, and Zhao Wangdan and the generals of the Zhao army, Lian Po and Pang Xuan, all died on the battlefield. ”
A Yan army scout, kneeling on one knee, said to Ji Kang.
"What? Zhao Wang...... Zhao Wangdan died in battle? Ji Kang's body shook.
After staying for a while, Ji Kang ordered: "Come on, the widow is going to the front." ”
There was another flash of lightning, and Wang Cong saw that Ji Kang's face was a little pale.
"Spread the edict of the widows, let our army stop chasing the Zhao army, and the army will be closed...... Alas! When the rain stops, let's see the results! Ji Kang issued another edict.
The rain crackled down, and even with an umbrella, Ji Kang was drenched all over his body.
Standing in front of Zhao Wangdan's car, who was killed in battle, in the heavy rain, Ji Kang stood in the mud and stopped.
Around the chariot of Ji Kang's uncle Zhao Wangdan, corpses fell to the ground, and the blood flowing from their bodies mixed with the rain and turned into several small red ponds.
Such red ponds, above the battlefield, can be seen everywhere.
"Your Majesty, our army has won, the heavy rain is too heavy, and the king's health is important, so it is better to return to the camp for the time being and take a rest." The waiter ordered Wang Cong to personally hold an umbrella for Ji Kang in the heavy rain, and at the same time admonished.
Ji Kang waved his hand, walked out of the umbrella, and came to the car of Zhao Wangdan's corpse.
Raising his hands to his head, he bowed deeply towards Zhao Dan's still standing body.
This is, the gift of the king!
After bowing, Ji Kang took off his crown and handed it to the attendant behind him, Ling Wangcong.
In the pouring rain, he slowly knelt down on his knees: "Uncle, Kang'er has come to see you!" ”
Behind Ji Kang, the generals Rong Yan, Le Jian, Wang Shi and others were all shocked and fell to the ground one after another.
They shouted in unison, "Your Majesty! ”
Ji Kang shouted: "This is the widow's uncle!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.
Seeing Ji Kang in the rain, he respectfully kowtowed to Zhao Wangdan three times.
Zhao Wangdan's body slowly fell on the car.
The heavy rain also stopped at this time, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone on the Xindu battlefield, rendering the battlefield a blood-red color.
Ji Kang stood up, turned to Rong Yan and other generals and said: "Spread the edict of the widow, the corpse of King Zhao, use the king's coffin to collect, go to Handan with the army, and be buried in the mausoleum. ”
"Obey the edict!" And they all bowed down together and obeyed.
Ji Kang looked at the sunset that was about to fall, and then issued an edict:
After arriving in Handan, he ordered the courtiers of Zhao to give the king of Zhao the title of the king and bury him with the rites of the king. The widow will follow my swallow system and personally guard the spirit of my uncle. ”
"The king is shengming!" The crowd bowed down again.
When we got back to the camp, it was already dark.
Ji Kang took a hot bath happily and sat in the king's tent in civilian clothes.
The attendant ordered Wang Cong to personally serve a bowl of steaming ginger soup and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Majesty, drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold!"
Ji Kang took the ginger soup and said to Wang Cong: "Soldiers, have you all drunk ginger soup?" ”
Wang Cong bowed: "Your Majesty, the army has returned to the camp, and has complied with the king's edict and boiled ginger soup for the soldiers." In addition, all the soldiers also followed the instructions of the medical officers and strengthened their protection against diseases such as wind and cold. ”
In the army of the Yan army at this time, the disease protection system was very perfect.
After listening to Wang Cong's words, Ji Kang put his mind at ease, picked up the ginger soup in his hand, and drank it slowly.
After drinking the ginger soup, he had his own attendant and left the empty bowl.
In the king's tent, a chamberlain had already brought a brazier, and it was very warm in the tent.
Sitting on the chair, Ji Kang's eyes lowered and he thought.
This time the letter was decisive, and the Yan army won a great victory. Although the final result has not yet been counted. But it can be said that the Yan State has completely established the victory of the Battle of Zhao.
his uncle Zhao Wangdan died in this battle; Many Zhao army generals such as veteran Lian Po and Pang Xuan have also been killed. Near Handan, Zhao State, there is only the Qingshe Department guarding the Southern Great Wall.
At this moment, an attendant entered the king's tent and said to Ji Kang:
"Your Majesty, the generals Rong Yan, Le Jian, and Wang Shi are here."
"Oh, pass the three of them in." Ji Kangyan said.
After Rong Yan, Le Jian, and Wang Shi entered the tent, Ji Kang saw that the three of them were all smiling.
"Your Majesty, the defenders of Xindu City have surrendered to our army. The three generals agreed that after resting for three days, they would immediately move their troops south to capture Handan. Rong Yan stepped forward and clenched his fists and said.
