The fall of the Yan State and the suppression of the Zhao army, Tian Jian, the king of Qi, suddenly panicked, and he urgently ordered the prime minister to lead 300,000 troops to enter the west bank of Jishui to resist the Zhao army. Hou Sheng was afraid of the might of the Zhao army, and he struggled along the way, and when he reached the west bank of Jishui, the Zhao army had already crossed the river safely and set up camp more than 20 miles east of Liaocheng.

There are only rolling hills and grasslands between Jishui and the big river, and there are no mountains and valleys, so from a distance, the scene within a hundred miles can be seen at a glance. Hou Sheng ordered the whole army to be stationed on the spot, and on the other hand, he took the deputy general Tian Yuan to climb a higher hill outside the camp, only to see that the Zhao army camp spread out for more than 20 miles from north to south, and the rear was not far from the rolling river.

"Birds! Zhao Kuo was so bold that he dared to camp against the water! Hou Sheng cursed viciously, in his opinion, Zhao Kuo's move was obviously not to take the Qi army in his eyes.

Tian Yuan echoed with a playful face: "The battle of the back water is really a taboo for soldiers!" Zhao Kuo is ignorant, God really helps me Daqi! ”

Hou Sheng frowned: "What's the use of such nonsense?" Looking at the position of the Zhao army, what tactics do you have? ”

"The Zhao army has its back to the river, there is no way to retreat, if it follows An Pingjun's fire ox array, it will all be buried in the belly of the fish!" Tian Yuan shook his head and said the strategy in his heart.

"Hmm!" Hou Sheng nodded again and again, "This plan is wonderful!" So do it! Thou hast immediately sent me an order to requisition all the ploughing cattle in the nearby villages and towns within three days, and if there is any delay, the military law will deal with it! ”

"The last general commands." Tian Yuan hurriedly agreed.

Tian Yuan promised happily, but he did not expect that there was a famine in the land of northern Qi now, and the soldiers tossed and turned for three days before they could scrape together less than a thousand skinny ploughing oxen. Although Hou Sheng shook his head again and again, he was helpless, so he ordered the craftsmen in the army to follow the example of Tiandan, tie two sharp knives to the horns of each cow, and tie a bunch of strips of cloth cut from rags at the tail of the ox, and soak the strips of cloth with fierce fire oil on the strips of cloth......

At this time, Qi Jun's abnormal behavior had already been sent to Zhao Kuo's case by the scouts.

"The scout came to report that the Qi army had recently recruited cattle, and the old man thought that his move was to imitate the method of Tiandan fire oxen! I wonder if you have a good way to break the enemy? Zhao Kuo sat in the handsome case, looked at the emergency military report sent by the scout in front of him, and asked without raising his head.

"General! After all, camping against the water is not a long-term method, it is better to move the camp as soon as possible, so as not to fall into passivity! General Cheng Kite was the first to say.

"General Cheng Kite is bad! "Sun Tzu" cloud, cast into the place of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live. The place behind the water, which seems to be a dead place, is dangerous and abnormal, but it is not! The soldiers are fighting against the water, the retreat is cut off, and they are bound to move forward desperately, and they are invincible! As for the Fire Bull Array, this method works once, how can it be used twice? In the past, Le Yi left the army, the Yan army was unstable, Tian Danfang could work with one blow, and today he wants to attack me again in this way, but how stupid! Deputy General Li Youhuo Ran got up and retorted loudly.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li You appreciatively, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then nodded: "General Li You's words are not bad!" Ordered all departments, prepare strong bows and crossbows, and wait for them, if the Qi army really attacks with fire oxen, only ten thousand arrows are needed, and the Qi army will be defeated! ”

"No!" The main generals in the tent roared at the same time, and then withdrew from the big tent one after another.

That night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, the gate of the Qi army camp suddenly opened quietly, and in an instant, nearly a thousand ploughing cattle with burning tails mooed and roared and rushed straight to the Zhao army camp.

"Zhao Kuo, the old man must call Ru Pian Jia not to return!" Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Hou Sheng couldn't help but smile proudly.

Unexpectedly, just when the fire bull had just rushed to fifty or sixty steps away from the Zhao army camp, with a terrible horn trumpet, an earth-shattering shouting of killing suddenly came from the Zhao army camp, which was originally safe.

In the shouting of killing, several rows of Zhao army crossbowmen who had long been ambushed behind the camp fortress suddenly got up and shot like undulating waves, and for a while, the arrows shot like a torrential rain towards the fire bull rushing in front of the camp. The fire bull's target was huge, and the Zhao army's crossbowmen were all well-trained, so the arrows were not missing, and nearly a thousand fire bulls either fell to the ground with a bang, or turned their heads and rushed towards the Qi army behind them.

At the same time, the horn of the Zhao army's attack sounded again, and 100,000 flying horses drove the fire cattle to kill the camp like a mountain of seas, and the wild fire bulls instantly broke the military tent of the Qi army, and the entire Qi army camp also fell into a sea of fire, and the 300,000 troops who won the victory completely collapsed in an instant.

Li You chased all the way with 30,000 flying horsemen, and took the lead in rushing to the bank of the Jishui River, only to see that the surging Jishui was full of remnants of the Qi army who were swimming and fleeing for their lives. Li You immediately ordered the whole army to shoot at the Qi soldiers in the water, and it was not until noon that the entire west bank of Jishui finally gradually returned to silence.

Looking at the corpses all over the mountains and the blood-stained water, Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable pain: "Everyone in the world is slaughtered for nothing!" However, the old man has been fighting for half his life, and the people he kills are even more white! In the future, it will be damned! ”

"Childe......" Ji Xue stood quietly beside Zhao Kuo and whispered with relief, "This is Hou Shengdong's imitation, and the blame is self-inflicted, and Childe doesn't have to mind too much." ”

"Having said that, it's ...... after all" Zhao Kuo suddenly choked up.

While speaking, Li You suddenly came to Zhao Kuo with a flying horse, only to see him jump off the horse, kneel down and plead guilty, "General! The last will be a capital crime, and after getting rid of it, he will win! ”

"It's not enough to worry about the victory, after this battle, the Qi country has become a frightened bird, the old man ordered you to immediately lead the flying horse 100,000 to cross the Jishui, and the deadline is half a month, and the cities of the Qi country will be exhausted!" Zhao Kuo patted Li You on the shoulder, and then pulled him up.

"Why doesn't the general take Linzi directly?" Li You stood up and asked puzzledly.

"Linzi city defense is strong, and there are heavy guards, if Tian Jian is determined to defend to the death, I will be caught in a bitter battle, only to abandon Linzi first, storm the hinterland of Qi State, so that Linzi becomes a lonely city, can force it to surrender without a fight!" Zhao Kuo stroked his gray beard and slowly explained word by word.

"The last general understands!" Li You suddenly realized, immediately turned on his horse, and led the troops to gallop away......

When the flying cavalry army crossed Jishui, Li You quickly divided the part into four routes: the first way, led by Li You himself, crossed the glue and took the cities of Jiaodong; the second road passed through Mount Tai to capture Yishui, Langya and other places; The third road rushed to the coastal counties of northern Qi; The fourth road is to enter the fortress pass near the East China Sea.

It can be half a month, under the endless running of Zhao Junfei's cavalry day and night, all three thousand miles fell into the hands of Zhao State.

Linzi has become a lonely city, and the prime minister Housheng, who has not recovered from the defeat in Jixi, is completely messed up, he hurriedly dresses up, and drives to the royal city non-stop.

By this time, the city had fallen into uncontrollable chaos, with mobs looting shops on a large scale with open flames, and thousands of people congesting the city gates, hoping to take refuge in the city. Hou Sheng's carriage and horses stopped and stopped all the way before they entered the royal city. I saw that there was also a chaotic scene in the royal city, and the palace maids and maids screaming and running could be seen everywhere.

"Where is King Qi?" Hou Sheng casually grabbed a palace maid who was about to flee for her life.

"Bed...... The palace ......," replied the maid tremblingly.

Hou Sheng shook off the palace maid, and then rushed to the palace of King Qi alone panting, only to see Tian Jian, the king of Qi, sitting on the king's couch with his hair scattered, with a pale face.

"The army has been completely dispersed, and Linzi has become a lonely city, please make a quick decision for my king!" Hou Sheng reported with a sad face.

"Ben...... This king wants to ...... How do I ...... Prime Minister Rescue...... Save me ......" As soon as he saw Hou Sheng, Qi Wang Tianjian seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, he jumped off the royal couch in panic, crawled in front of Hou Sheng, tightly pulled Hou Sheng's clothes, and shook desperately.

Hou Sheng was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but push King Qi away, and shouted angrily: "Enough! ”

"Thou ...... What will you do? Seeing such an angry Hou Sheng for the first time, Qi Wang Tian Jian took several steps back suddenly, and sat on the ground with weak legs, trembling all over.

Seeing the appearance of King Qi, Hou Sheng suddenly lost his temper, he tried his best to speak lightly, and said helplessly: "The general trend has gone, only to descend Zhao." ”

"Drop ...... It is to descend to Zhao ......" Qi Wang Tian Jian got up from the ground, "This king will draft a ...... to descend the table"

At noon, a huge white flag finally hung powerlessly on the tower of Linzi City, and then Qi Wang Tianjian walked out of the city gate with a depressed face in his hand surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials.

Immediately afterwards, the army of Zhao State rumbled into Linzi City.
