Chapter 269: Dragon City Defender
The autumn wind is strong, and the iron armor is cold. The unstoppable Wei Wushu finally attacked under the Dragon City. Yan Hu, the majestic general of the Wei State, immediately looked at the towering city wall of the Zhao king's capital from a distance under the general flag, and the pride in his chest couldn't help but burst.
Under his command, 80,000 Wei warriors, since they stepped into the territory of Zhao, have been almost invincible and invincible, sweeping hundreds of miles, spanning nearly a month, without a single defeat. Such an impressive record can be said to have never been done before for Yan Hu.
Although, seriously speaking, from the beginning of this war to the present, there has not been a large-scale battle between the two armies. Except for the fierce confrontation on the Wei and Zhao borders at the beginning, the Wei army drove straight for hundreds of miles, and only encountered a few small-scale cavalry confrontations. This inevitably made Yan Hu and his soldiers who wanted to win a big victory feel unsatisfied. But no matter what, now that the attack has reached the vicinity of Dragon City, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
For the Wei soldiers below Yan Hu, this war not only gave them a lot of rewards, but also fueled their arrogance. Along the way, several times the Zhao army fled without a fight, making them more and more convinced that the fighting army of the Zhao army had already gone to Yan and Qi, and the rest were all vulnerable.
It was in the perception of the whole army that the 80,000 army stopped outside Dragon City. They will take a break here. Then prepare to take the royal capital of this enemy country completely in one go.
In addition to the Luocheng of Zhongzhou in the south of the river and the Guangling City of the Southern Han Kingdom, the four famous cities in the north, Feng'an of Qin, Longcheng of Zhao, Daliang of Wei, and Canghai of Qi. In a sense, they are also known as the four famous cities in the world! Among them, Dragon City is especially famous for its fierce spirit.
For a hundred years, Longcheng has dominated the north and resisted Hu Qi. After several wars. The clusters of swords and arrows left on the city wall are still clearly visible.
And whether it is the Hu people or the army of the princes, so far, no one has ever been able to attack Dragon City. This fortified city has also been overshadowed by a layer of heroes.
Yan Hu's mood was very excited. If he can lead Wei Wushu into Dragon City, there is no doubt that he will become a real famous general. Not to mention the endless wealth in the city that is about to be obtained, just such a great feats are enough to be proud.
And this is definitely not wishful thinking, it should be achieved with great certainty. After setting up a large camp thirty miles away from Longcheng in the evening, Yan Hu looked at the soldiers' expressions of high fighting spirit, and carefully inspected the various weapons and equipment in the army. His faith was stronger than ever.
"Tell all the soldiers to rest well tonight. Siege operations begin tomorrow! Dragon City is in front of you, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make contributions must not be missed. The general can now make a guarantee, if any one of them reaches the head of the city first, he will be credited with the first credit! The king's reward will be beyond imagination...... Hehe! ”
The officers and men of the three armies thundered with joy. Even if the general doesn't need to say more, they are very aware of the situation in front of them. As a killing field warrior, who doesn't want to build extraordinary achievements? If you don't seize the opportunity in front of you, when will you wait?
Around Dragon City, there was a slaughter. No one could have predicted the outcome of this war. Just as no one knows what is going on inside Dragon City, everything is unknown.
The wind rises, the withered grass is cold, and the killing intent is full of sky. Standing on the arrow tower of Longcheng and watching for a long time, Zhao Guoxiang Fei Yi had infinite sorrow in his heart.
The Jiuxing Mountains in the south of the city are undulating, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen. Presumably, between those familiar ravines, it has been dyed by the colorful autumn mood. Thousands of mountains and trees, reincarnation withered. Hundred generations of spring and autumn, but that's it!
This old man, who has been dutiful for the Zhao royal family for most of his life, is enough to deserve the title of the minister. Thinking of the years when he followed the ancestor Chu Lie and rode the Nine Lines Mountain, his old heart had already made waves.
If a person who has made a difference has to meet a good master from a young age, it is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing. At the end of this dynasty of chaotic princes, there were countless talented people in the world. But how many people can really be reused and have the opportunity to give full play to their talents?
And Fei Yi is undoubtedly the best of them. After coming to Zhao that year, he quickly won the trust and appreciation of King Chulie of Zhao with his knowledge and noble character. And entrusted with important tasks, entrusted as a confidant. He also lived up to expectations, with an attitude of not avoiding suspicion, and asked all about everything inside and outside the royal court, no matter how big or small, lest the state affairs be lost. So nearly 40 years of conscientious and tireless work. It can be called a model of good ministers!
"Fei Gong is impartial and has never been a friend of selflessness. A Dan heart, full of enthusiasm, fair and upright, like a pine and a cypress, the more difficult it is, the stronger it is...... It can be entrusted with the important affairs of the family and the country!"
These words of admiration were the public evaluation of Fei Yi by King Chulie of Zhao in front of all the ministers of the royal court that year. It is extremely rare to be able to say such things from the mouth of a king who rarely talks about others.
White clouds and dogs, the world changes. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed before you know it. Now Chu Lie is gone, and Fei Yi, who used to have the highest hopes for him, has also changed from a high-spirited young talent to a gray-haired old minister. When today's Zhao Kingdom finally faced a critical situation again, Fei Yi once again remembered the voice and smile of the previous king, and the taste in his heart could be imagined.
However, this taste is by no means frustration and disappointment, but long-lost enthusiasm, as well as infinite expectations for the magnificent general trend of the world!
The young man he watched grow up with his own eyes finally flew into the sky, and it could not be replicated! This is something that Fei Yi can be extremely sure of after receiving the emergency military information from Los Angeles in Zhongzhou last night. At that moment, he suddenly realized that even the reputation left by the ancestor Chu Lie would be beyond his reach for his son in the near future!
In fact, if according to Fei Yi's true thoughts, he did not approve of Chu Jiangmian's original plan to send troops to Qi State. As for the later King Qin of Zhongzhou, he traveled thousands of miles to fight, which was even more unexpected to him.
If he could, Fei Yi would really want Chu Jiangmian to seek stability. In either respect, there is always no big mistake in doing it safely. The development of Zhao to the point where it is today is not easy to come by. No one can know better than Fei Yi about the hard work and hard work that has been put into this.
However, since Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian showed his edge, everything he has done is dangerous and dangerous! He is like a darling of the heavens, no matter how dangerous the situation, he can turn around and survive in a desperate situation. Moreover, everyone who opposes it dies miserably!
Having such a king certainly makes the people of Zhao extremely excited. But even so, Fei Yi was always uneasy. He didn't believe that good luck would always be with the young man. If there is a mistake, it may be the disaster of the country.
And his fears were not unfounded. After he didn't dissuade Chu Jiangmian from going out to the Qi Kingdom, the most feared thing finally happened. Taking advantage of the emptiness in Zhao's country, the Wei people brazenly launched a military campaign. It has to be said that they chose at the right time.
The two military wars launched by the Zhao State at the same time sent the most elite troops. And not only that, in order to be foolproof, on the border of Yan and in the direction leading to Qi, a large number of reserve forces in the Zhao army were mobilized. The purpose of this is naturally to absolutely ensure the safety of the two elite armies of Zhao State in foreign expeditions.
And in this way, when the Wei State, which was adjacent to the Zhao State, suddenly attacked, the Zhao army was caught off guard and was at a disadvantage almost immediately. Of course, none of the men of Zhao are greedy for life and afraid of death, and if they resist desperately, the Wei army will not advance so smoothly. But after they persevered for a while regardless of casualties at the beginning, they had to choose to preserve their strength and avoid their edge.
When watching the Wei army show off its might and drive straight in, no one was willing to swallow this evil breath. As a battlefield warrior, all I feel is humiliation and anger at such a retreat. But they had no choice but to obey the command. Because the person who personally issued this order was none other than Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian.
This king's military order from Zhongzhou was personally conveyed and implemented by Minister of State Fei Yi. It doesn't matter if you figure it out or not, and whether you are willing or unwilling. All the remaining Zhao soldiers must comply, and there is no room for bargaining.
Chu Jiangmian's personal order, although it made many people resistant. But to the west of Dragon City, it was finally carried out. It is precisely for this reason that the Wei army came to the vicinity of Dragon City smoothly in an almost invincible posture. But they just stopped there, and if they want to move forward, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky!
"In the battle of Dragon City, there must be no mistakes! This battle is not only related to the safety of the Dragon City Royal Capital, but also plays a vital role in the success or failure of the King's latest military operation...... General Long Yu, are you all ready? ”
Fei Yi, who had been watching for a long time in the evening twilight, finally retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice. And Long Yu, the dragoon general who stood next to him with a sword, slapped his hand on the city wall heavily, and only replied loudly.
"If the Wei army has a soldier and a pawn on the top of the city, I am willing to behead myself and apologize in front of the city!"
Long Yu, who had made this military order in advance, turned a little red. In fact, not only him, but even those soldiers under his command who are gearing up have been waiting impatiently for a long time.
They are dragoons! Known as the most elite cavalry unit since the Zhao State. But now, this dragoon army, which has expanded to more than 10,000 horsemen, is overshadowed by the Tiger Ben Army, which has made many meritorious achievements on the battlefield of Yan Kingdom. This is something that every Dragoon warrior absolutely cannot bear!
Since their mission is to defend Dragon City, this is their home turf. Tomorrow's battle, when the eagle is raised, the dragon is excited!
