In the countless later historical records, the death of King Chulie of Zhao is undoubtedly a very important historical event. Many of the magnificent waves that took place in this late spring and early summer began because of the death of this king.

When the situation inside and outside Dragon City was still confusing, the borders around Zhao State were already in flames, and the army was approaching step by step. Whether it is the ministers of the royal court or the people in the four directions, they all feel the panic in their hearts. And the morale of the Zhao ** team has inevitably been affected a lot. There's no way around it. Even for the most powerful generals, it is not easy to resist the advance of the enemy army in such a situation. And to turn the tide of the war in a short period of time is an almost impossible task.

The death of Yuan Rong, a famous general of Zhao State, is the best proof of this. Although objectively speaking, the biggest reason why he was defeated and died was because he was too old, and he encountered the attack of the alliance of Qin and Wei, the two most powerful countries in the world, so he was defeated in the hands of Wang Jian, the general of Qin. But on the other hand, the death of King Zhao hit the soldiers of the Zhao army and made the army unhappy, which affected the performance of the combat level, which is also a fact that has to be admitted.

And at such a critical moment, once one side loses on the battlefield, the consequences will be extremely serious. The Zhao army, which was stationed on the western front from Pingyang to Shuomen Pass, was almost the most elite Zhao ** team except for the dragoons. In this defeat, nearly 80,000 troops lost almost 50,000, and the remaining 20,000 people and horses were no longer able to resist the advance of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, so they had to retreat to Wutong Pass and hold this last pass, so as to buy enough time for the support of Zhao **'s team in the rear as much as possible.

It's just that the defenders of Wutong Pass haven't realized that it is impossible for Longcheng to send troops to support them. After the death of King Zhao, no one had such courage anymore. After a few days of bloody fighting, they were not waiting for reinforcements, and an envoy drove hundreds of miles out of Dragon City to convey their latest battle orders.

"What! It is necessary for the whole army to preserve its strength and withdraw from Wutong Pass...... Who gave this order? ”

When the Sycamore Keeper heard this command from the messenger's mouth, his eyes widened in surprise, and he almost thought that he had misheard. Since the death of General Yuan Rong, all the Zhao armies on the Western Front have been under his unified command. In the face of a powerful enemy, he had already sworn with his soldiers that he would defend Wutong Pass until the last soldier! But now he suddenly heard such an order, which was a great surprise to him.

"This is an order from His Royal Highness the Prince himself! Why, does the general still have any doubts? ”

The messenger who came under the protection of several Thousand Machine Pavilion spies was originally an attendant of the queen's side. Seeing the doubts of the few generals in front of him, the expression on his face looked very serious.

"Wutong Pass is the last important pass to hold the defense line west of Dragon City. If this Guancheng is lost, the army of Qin and Wei will drive straight in, and half of the country of Zhao will no longer be in danger to defend! Didn't His Royal Highness the Prince know the serious consequences of doing so? ”

After several days of fierce fighting, the general was wounded, along with several of his lieutenants. His eyes were full

Full of blood, looking at each other with his subordinates, I really don't understand why there is such an order!

"His Royal Highness the Prince naturally has a reason for doing this. The general only needs to obey the order, and the rest does not need to be asked! ”

The messenger replied to him with a cold expression. One of the main reasons why the Zhao ** team has been able to resist the Beihu cavalry and become one of the strongest armies in the world in these years is that the military discipline is strict and the order is forbidden. All officers and men in the army must obey orders in order to be able to achieve repeated victories.

"The king unfortunately passed away, and the state of Zhao was attacked by the enemy, which was a critical moment for survival. The officers and men of our army don't know anything else, they only know how to kill the enemy! At this Wutong juncture, all the soldiers have already made a blood oath that they should live and die together with Guancheng...... This order of His Royal Highness the Prince, if it is to preserve our strength, we are willing to disobey it! ”

Unexpectedly, several generals and colonels led by the general defending the city all stiffened their necks and looked resolute. For several days, there have been many hard battles. 50,000 or 60,000 brothers in the former army were killed and wounded at the hands of the enemy, and the two sides were already fighting to the death. If you abandon the city like this, it will be worse than killing them! But any bloody man in the army can't figure it out anyway.

"Disobeying the order is a crime of killing the head! Aren't you all afraid of death? ”

The messenger selected by Chu Jiangmian was born with a cold face, with a gentle smile insulated from it, and there was a knife in his words. The general and his subordinates looked at each other, clenching the sword in their hands tightly, and their faces showed a sad expression.

"Who is afraid of death now? If it is death to resist the order, it is also death to kill the enemy at the head of the city. So let's hope we die a well-deserved death! Please go back and tell His Royal Highness the prince that all the soldiers and soldiers of our country were born in Wutong Pass, and they will die in this city! ”

There was silence up and down the city, and such blatant disobedience was already an extremely serious crime in Zhao **. It's just that what the soldiers feared didn't happen. The messenger sighed softly, and then whispered a word to the defending general.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is really like a god...... Come with me! ”

The iron-blooded man was a little confused. However, when he followed the envoy into the arrow tower at the head of the city, and waited for about a quarter of an hour before coming out, although he had tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, the comrades in the army who had been with him day and night could still detect the faint excitement on the general's face. He beckoned, and several lieutenants all gathered around.

"Let's do it now! Time is pressing, and all the officers and men of the army will withdraw from Wutong Pass tonight! ”

The lieutenants were taken aback, not understanding what had happened in the moment. When someone tried to ask again, they heard the general only whisper to them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has his own tricks to defeat the enemy! Everyone doesn't have to die, take good care of their strength, and they don't have to wait too long to personally avenge General Yuan Rong and the dead soldiers with the knife in their hands! ”

That is, on this night, everyone in Wutong Pass quietly withdrew. It wasn't until the next day, when the vanguard of the Qin-Wei coalition wanted to attack this gate again, that they were surprised to find that there was only an empty city left in front of them.

The vanguard general who commanded the army was surprised and delighted. He even

Hurriedly sent brave men to climb up to the top of the city, and after carefully inspecting the whole city, they confirmed that there was no ambush. Only then did he open the city gate and order the army to rush in and completely occupy Wutong Pass.

The battle of Wutong Pass in the past few days has been extremely tragic. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the overall battle plan, General Wang Jian had already given a death order to the vanguard troops, telling them to take this fortress within two days at the latest. Otherwise, they will be severely punished. The unfavorable operation has already made the vanguard general anxious. Now that he has suddenly conquered it so smoothly, he naturally does not dare to slack off in the slightest. Immediately, he sent someone to Pegasus to report to Wang Jian and the chief general of the Wei army who were sitting in the Chinese army camp behind.

Wang Jian, the general of the Qin army, was also very relieved after hearing this. Originally, according to his prediction, two days was already the deadline. Unexpectedly, those Zhao people finally couldn't stand it anymore and fled overnight. In this way, he saved two days, and he made a very generous battle plan.

"The car is away from the general, the gate of Wutong Pass has been opened, and the horse is flat and straight, and it goes straight to Longcheng. In front of our army, the state of Zhao is no longer in danger...... Hahaha! ”

General Che Li, who led the Wei ** team to fight side by side with the Qin army, was also a fierce general. This person is tyrannical and murderous, and 50,000 Wei soldiers under his command show off their might, which is very powerful. The last time outside Pingyang Pass, the veteran Yuan Rong was shot by him with an arrow, and then lost his life. For this, he has already received a rich reward sent by the King of Wei himself. The killing of the famous generals of Zhao is a great merit. It is foreseeable that when the class teacher returns to Wei soon after, this Che Li general will definitely be summoned by the King of Wei himself, and he will be glorious.

However, now in his heart, he is not satisfied. Although Yuan Rong has a great reputation, he is just a veteran, and he is not a martial artist. Since Zhao Guo no longer has any powerful figures worthy of attention after the death of King Zhao, then he has to achieve greater feats in this battle, so it is worth it!

"General Wang, it is very obvious that the army of Zhao has lost its fighting spirit. Its demise is only in the blink of an eye! In this case, we should immediately rest and regroup the three armies, travel day and night, and go straight to Dragon City...... If we are in time, maybe we can see with our own eyes what King Zhao Chulie looked like after he died! Hahaha! ”

Che Li looked up to the sky and laughed, looking very rude. If it is really as he said, after attacking Dragon City, if King Zhao's coffin has not had time to be buried, he does not mind taking his head back and dedicating it to King Wei.

Wang Jian frowned secretly, and despised Che Li's vulgarity in his heart. No matter what you say, King Zhao is a generation of heroes. His heroic achievements in defeating Hu Qi several times have been admired by everyone in the world. Not only was Wang Jian, who was a general of the enemy country, very impressed, but even Nie Feng, the king of Qin, talked about King Zhao with his ministers and generals, and he was also sympathetic and praised. Such heroes and heroes can fight to the death with them, but they cannot be insulted with words.

However, now is the stage of cooperation between Qin and Wei, and Wang Jian naturally will not show this emotion on his face. He stood up and began to deliver orders loudly.

"The army immediately entered Wutong Pass. After a day's rest, tomorrow the three armies will start marching and take Dragon City directly! Go and tell the officers and men of the whole army to know that they can only fight ...... in this battle to make meritorious contributions and strive for wealth! ”
