Chapter 826: The Annihilation of the Yan Kingdom (Third Update)
Looking at a dejected Korean and Yan soldier who was escorted out of the valley, the corners of Yi Qusheng's mouth unconsciously curled high.
"It's finally over!" This is the feeling in Yiqusheng's heart.
In half a year, thousands of miles away, and several battles, the Yan Kingdom was finally pacified.
Regarding Yiqu Sheng's idea, Li Mu was somewhat scoffing: "What nonsense are you talking about, Linle City has not been captured yet." ”
Yiqu Sheng laughed and said, "Now that the queen mother and the king of the Yan Kingdom are in our hands, no matter how hard the Xiangbang of the Yan Kingdom tries, it is impossible for him to avoid the end of failure!" ”
This is not what Yiqu Sheng thinks alone, but also what most of the soldiers of the Zhao Army, and even most of the people in the world, think after learning about this matter.
Li Mu shook his head and said: "You can't be too optimistic until the last moment, the king of Yan back then was too optimistic, so he sent a horse robber to replace Le Yi, which led to a big turnaround in Tiandan." If Zhao Guo doesn't want to become the second Yan Kingdom, then we must be cautious enough, of course we can celebrate, but that should be after the complete defeat of Linle City. ”
Yiqu Sheng stared at Li Mu with a strange expression, and said, "I suddenly found that you are actually very boring, and you always like to talk about this kind of uninteresting thing. ”
Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, and then raised his foot.
The next moment, Yi Qusheng's body suddenly flew out of the air, and then landed steadily on the ground like a big bird.
The Yiqu general turned to Li Mu and said angrily: "Kicking people's butts is not a good habit. ”
Li Mu thought for a while: "Maybe you can choose twenty military sticks." ”
Yiqu Sheng closed his mouth, returned to the saddle, looked at the head of Ji Xing hanging next to the saddle, and couldn't help but laugh.
With this head in hand, Yiqu Sheng felt that his future position as Yiqu Jun should be relatively stable.
Looking back on this battle, even Yiqu Sheng himself felt a little incredible.
The number of the enemy on his side was only one-third, but after this big battle, more than 20,000 were beheaded, more than 30,000 were captured, and nearly 40,000 were captured, while the casualties on the Zhao army's side were only 3,000.
It's a miracle, no, a miracle!
Yi Qusheng glanced at Li Mu in front of him again, and suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to fight under such a person.
As for the country of Yiqu......
Whether Yiqu Sheng is willing or unwilling to give up the position of the king of Yiqu, the fall of Yiqu Kingdom has become a foregone conclusion.
Since this is the case, then it is good to live as a courtier of Zhao State, after all, Yiqu has also been a courtier of Qin State for more than 20 years.
The people on the grassland have always followed the strong, and it is also a very good ending to be able to follow the first power in the world like Zhao and follow the generals like Li Mu to step in all directions!
Yi Qusheng put away his thoughts and followed Li Mu closely towards Xiangping City in the south.
But what Yiqu Sheng didn't expect was that all this was not the end.
After returning to Xiangping City, Li Mu told Yiqusheng a piece of news.
"We're here for five days, and we're going to go in five days."
"Go? Where to go? Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu's expression and felt that something was wrong.
The difference between departure and class teacher is still understood.
Li Mu replied very calmly: "Pyongyang." ”
"Pyongyang?" Yiqusheng's eyes widened, and it was a long time before he shouted: "You are going to attack Miko Korea?" ”
"Of course." Li Mu nodded very calmly, and looked at Yiqu Sheng in front of him with rare and strange eyes: "I guess you have also heard from the mouths of those Korean soldiers, this time Ji Xing basically transferred the troops of the entire Korean country, and now the Korean country is in an extremely empty time, if we miss this opportunity, wouldn't it be in vain to cheapen those barbarians in the north?" ”
Yi Qusheng nodded, feeling very reasonable: "Since that's the case, then why wait another five days?" ”
Li Mudao: "The terrain of North Korea is not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat, this time I am going to take 5,000 cavalry to go." The king had approved my plan, and had ordered Juxin to come and join us with his army, and the march of Juxin's troops would take three days, and then two days of repair, exactly five days. ”
"Drama Xin?" Yi Qu Sheng's eyes widened, looking very unhappy: "Although he does have 30,000 infantry under his command, but in this case, wouldn't he want to compete with us for credit?" ”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Now that we have Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan in our hands, do you think there is anyone else who will have more credit than us?" At this time, there is no harm in giving a little credit to others, Ju Xin is an important minister of Longtai, if he is willing to help you speak, then you, the righteous king, are very sure. So now, you shut up for me, and then do what you want. ”
Yiqu Sheng smiled, and after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, in fact, I have one last question, North Korea is so far away from the Central Plains, even if it can be defeated, who can you send to guard this place?" ”
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders: "As the general of the Zhao State, I am only responsible for laying down the land, as for how to rule and occupy it, it is the business of the Great King and the Plains King." ”
……
There was a lot of pressure in the music room.
After holding out for half a year, not only did the food in the city begin to have obvious difficulties, but morale was also a big problem.
The morale of the soldiers of the Yan army has almost dropped to an all-time low, and some people have even begun to plan to quietly open the city gates to allow the Zhao army to enter the city - in fact, some people have tried to do so, and not once or twice.
Fortunately, Lejian was vigilant enough, so all these conspiracy between the inside and outside were foiled by him. Otherwise, the current Linle City
"Your Majesty, the people of Zhao are attacking the city again, and the outer city has begun to be a little unable to resist!" A general of the Yan Kingdom bowed to Lejian.
Rakuma, with a tired face, nodded and walked out of his room.
The mansion where Rakuma was located was not far from the southern city wall of Linle City, so he could clearly hear the shouts of killing from the southern city wall.
A boulder fell from the sky over the city wall and landed in a house about two or three hundred paces away from Rakuma, and with a boom of smoke and dust, Rakuma could even feel the vibration of the ground under his feet.
"Chang Guojun, this place is not safe, please move immediately!"
Le Jian shook his head and said, "It's okay, the distance of Zhao Jun's trebuchet is limited, so it is impossible to throw it here." Strange, why did the Zhao army suddenly launch an attack on the city? ”
In the past half a year, except for a few days of tentative siege at the beginning, Pang Xuan has been leading the army of Zhao to firmly surround Linle City, and there is no siege at all.
Until a few days ago, the Zhao army suddenly began to launch an offensive.
For the offensive of the Zhao people, the Yan army was also prepared, and the entire siege battle entered the climax from the beginning, and the battle was very fierce.
Could something have happened?
At this moment, Le Jian desperately wanted to know what made the Zhao army start attacking the city again after being silent for half a year.
But it's a pity that most of the land in Yan has fallen into the hands of the people of Zhao State, so Lejian, who was originally able to communicate through pigeon letters, has now completely lost the channel to understand the external situation.
So Le Jian didn't know that Pang Xuan was encouraging the generals of the Zhao Army under his command at this moment: "Now that Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan have been captured by Governor Li Mu, if we still want to share some credit, then we must take Linle City!" ”
Pang Xuan is really a little anxious.
Although it is said that as the main general, Li Mu and Ju Xin's contributions can all be attributed to Pang Xuan's leadership, but the problem is that if Pang Xuan didn't do anything, it would definitely be a little unreasonable.
Besides, it's not just Pang Xuan himself, but the 200,000 Zhao soldiers under Pang Xuan's command also need credit.
Therefore, after learning that Xiangping City had been breached, Pang Xuan led the army to launch an attack on Linle City.
In Pang Xuan's view, the Yan army in Linle City was besieged for half a year, and then bombed by the Zhao army's propaganda offensive for half a year, and its combat effectiveness was definitely far inferior to that of the previous war.
The situation was as Pang Xuan expected.
Although it is said that with the strong city walls, the Yan army has repeatedly repelled the Zhao army's tidal attack, but in only five days, the Zhao army has already begun to have people able to climb the city.
Even though the soldiers of the Zhao army who climbed to the top of the city were quickly killed and repulsed, this incident made all the Zhao soldiers feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they increased the intensity of the siege.
In order to break through the city, the main general Pang Xuan has already made a promise, and the first one to attack the city will be promoted to the third level!
On the position of the Zhao army outside Linle City, hundreds of trebuchets kept operating, and heavy boulders fell from the sky one by one to bombard the battlements of Linle City, and the siege materials of the Zhao army reached a massive level in half a year, and the bombardment of trebuchets almost did not stop from dawn.
At least dozens of boulders appeared in Rakuma's sight, and then fell from the sky with a whizz, and the ground under his feet did not stop shaking like an earthquake.
The guards of the music room were very nervous and gathered around the music room, and some of them even brought huge shields.
Lejian waved his hand, signaling the guards to be calm, and suddenly said to the deputy general beside him: "How long has Linle City been surrounded?" ”
The deputy general paused for a moment, although he didn't quite understand what Le Jian meant when he said this, he still replied: "There is more than half a year." ”
"Half a year." Lejian let out a long sigh, and the expression on his face when he spoke was somewhat gloomy and helpless: "For half a year, I was trapped in Lecheng, but I couldn't wait for the help of any country, this is the day to kill my Yan country!" ”
……
According to the historian's record: "In the spring and February of the thirteenth year of the emperor, Yan sent the assassin Jing Ke to assassinate the emperor on the main hall. The emperor was angry and ordered Pang Xuan and Li Mu to fight Yan. In March, Pang Xuan surrounded Linle. In April, Li Mu broke the thistle capital, and the Empress Dowager Yan took the king of Yan to Xiangping, Liaodong. In September, the Korean prince Ji Xing led the army to help, Li Mu killed Ji Xing, broke Xiangping, and captured the mother and son of the queen Yan. In October, Pang Xuan broke the music, and the music fell. The kingdom of Yan has since died and enjoyed the country for 791 years. ”
