Chapter 31: Madness

Daijun, Daiyi.

"General, the half-month time limit has arrived, how should we deal with Qing Qin?"

The Daiyi guard looked at Li Mu, his face full of worry.

During this time, although Qing Qin abided by the agreement and did not lead his troops to attack Daiyi, he took advantage of the situation to wave his troops south, connecting several counties in the south of Kedai County.

What Qing Qin did completely cut off the connection between Daiyi and Handan, and even the Zhao army, which came to support 50,000, was blocked from coming to Daiyi.

Seeing that the time of half a month had arrived, Qing Qin dispatched troops and stationed the camp outside the city of Daiyi, eyeing the tiger.

The Daiyi guard had no doubt that if he went back on his word and still did not open the city and surrendered tomorrow, he would definitely be attacked by the Yan army.

During this time, in addition to attacking several cities in the south of Daijun, Qing Qin also continued to build various siege equipment.

On the contrary, in order not to irritate Qing Qin, the Dai Yi guards did not strengthen the defense of the city wall.

Li Mu did not answer the Daiyi guard, but carefully looked at the battle report from Gu Yi, and the light in his eyes became more and more bright.

On the day when chestnut belly crossed the river to attack Guyi, his prestige was greatly reduced by Zhao Jia's two fires, and the morale of the Yan army also dropped greatly.

However, Zhao Jia's actions completely angered the chestnut.

Regardless of whether the morale of the Yan army was low or not, Li Belly still urged the three armies to attack Guyi every day, but they failed repeatedly.

Rao was like this, and the defenders of Guyi also suffered heavy casualties, most of the 20,000 horses were killed or wounded.

If it weren't for Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of Wang, who took the lead, even if he was hit by an arrow, he insisted on standing at the head of the city every time he defended the city, which greatly boosted the morale of Gu Yi's defenders, and I am afraid that Gu Yi would have been broken by the Yan army a long time ago.

Rao is like this, Gu Yi has only been defending for ten days, and he is already crumbling, and the defenders are exhausted.

At the critical moment, fortunately, because of the arrival of 10,000 reinforcements, Gu Yi has held on to it with great difficulty.

Li led an army of 500,000 to storm Guyi, but was blocked by Zhao Jia for half a month, but instead lost his troops.

To this day, the prestige of the chestnut belly is not as good as before, and even the king of Yan has a lot of complaints about it, and has repeatedly sent people to urge the chestnut belly to conquer Guyi.

As for the political enemies of Li's belly, they also took this opportunity to make a statement to King Yan, saying that they did not have the ability to command troops, and persuaded King Yan to reactivate the music room.

Although King Yan also regretted letting the chestnut belly command the army, he suddenly felt angry in his heart when he thought of Lejian's rebelliousness.

At this time, if the music room is activated again, Yan Wang must bow his head to the music room and admit his mistake.

Every time he thinks of this, King Yan is reluctant in his heart, and there are also many friends in the chestnut belly court, and he tries his best to excuse him, which has delayed until now, and still lets the chestnut belly command the army.

However, it can be expected that if Li Belly can't capture Gu Yi for a long time, he will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being replaced.

Li Mu continued to look at the battle report, but his thoughts flew far away.

"Chestnut belly is not familiar with war, on the other hand, Lejian knows the art of war, brave and good at fighting, if he is replaced by the commander, it is not easy to win."

"The chestnut belly is enough to be aggrieved, just add another fire, and the other party will inevitably lose his square inch and go completely crazy."

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly, outlining a weird smile.

"Tomorrow, Kaesong will surrender!"

Under the city of Guyi, the flag covered the sun, shouting to kill the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of Yan troops besieged Guyi, but failed to conquer it for half a month, which made many soldiers begin to doubt themselves.

Even if they came to attack the city every day at the urging of the generals, they did not do their best, but thought about how to save their lives.

In the half-moon battle, the Guyi defenders suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, but the Yan army suffered more than 40,000 casualties.

Coupled with the casualties of the Yan army on the day of crossing the river, the battle of besieging Guyi in this time, in just half a month, the Yan army suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

With such huge casualties, Guyi was still not conquered.

And these soldiers of Zhao who resisted the Yan army were not strong in Zhao State, but most of them were old and weak women and children.

The morale of the Yan army is low, but it is no wonder that they are not guilty.

"Woooooo

Seeing that it was getting late, although the chestnut belly was full of unwillingness, it still made people start to withdraw their troops.

Although he had the intention to attack the city overnight, the morale of the Yan army was low, and many generals in the army were dissatisfied with him.

If you force it, it will not be counterproductive.

The sound of gold rang out.

The Yan army, who had long been exhausted, seemed to have unloaded the burden of 10,000 catties and slowly retreated like a tide.

On the city wall, Zhao Jia held a sword in his right hand, but his left hand was hung up with a bandage.

A few days ago, chestnut belly personally came to the city wall to cheer for the Yan army, causing the Yan army to attack the city frantically.

In that battle, the defenders of Guyi fought extremely hard, and the casualties were also very heavy.

In order to boost morale, Zhao Jia fought bravely on the city wall to kill the enemy, but he was accidentally hit by an arrow, and it is still not good to this day.

Also on that day, Zhao Jiajun's sharpshooter lay behind the battlements, used an ultra-long-range strong bow, and almost shot chestnut belly.

Chestnut panicked and never dared to approach the battlefield again.

Otherwise, if the other party does this a few more times, I'm afraid Gu Yi will have already been conquered.

"Finally retreated!"

Zhao Jia watched Yan Jun retreat like a tide, his body seemed to be completely drained of strength, and he suddenly sat on the ground regardless of his image, leaning against the battlements and panting.

Beside him, Sima Shang was also covered in blood, his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, and he was in extremely poor condition.

The peerless beauty Wang Ruobing was also unkempt at this time, and her cheeks were scratched by arrows, and the wound had just scabbed.

It's not just them.

In Guyi City, almost every guard was overdrawing his life, holding on to his last breath to defend the city.

When they saw the Yan army retreating, they all leaned on the city wall, seizing every moment to rest.

"Report!"

At this moment, the herald took a battle report and hurriedly ran towards Zhao Jia.

"What happened?"

Zhao Jia couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the herald's expression, and asked.

The herald looked at the soldiers of Zhao Guo, who were fighting to defend the city to the death, and almost everyone was injured, and he was almost about to cry.

However, he was highly trained to never tell the news in public.

He had to wipe away his tears and said, "Childe, see for yourself." ”

Zhao Jia took the battle report, and after reading the contents, he didn't say a word, but silently took it into his arms.

"What happened?"

Sima Shang also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jia didn't answer, but his eyes looked to the north, and secretly thought: "It's finally time to make an appointment." ”

In this kind of arduous defense of the city, Zhao Jia almost squeezed out his own energy.

Even if the defenders of Guyi were united, but the war had reached this level, Zhao Jia no longer had the confidence to continue to defend it.

But today, when the news of Daiyi's surrender without a fight came, Zhao Jia knew that he was about to be freed.

The camp tent of the commander of the Yan army.

The chestnut belly and the generals of the Yan State listened to the herald enthusiastically read out the battle report, but they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere in the tent was very strange.

Qing Qin, who commanded 200,000 troops, was originally not taken into account by these Yan generals.

But now, Qing and Qin fought successively, and took the city without blood in the first battle, and then went south to attack the city and plunder the land, blocking the 50,000 Zhao reinforcements, so that they could not go north to rescue Daiyi.

The most important thing is that not long ago, Qing Qinbing took Daiyi, the county seat of Daiyi, without blood.

The Daiyi guard held the seal ribbon in his hand, led Gu Yi's civil and military, military and civilian, personally went out of the city to greet Qing Qin, and entertained Qing Qin and others with good wine and meat.

You know, Daiyi is the capital of Dai-gun.

The Daiyi Guards and the Daijun Guards, the two of them led the Daijun civil and military forces out of the city to surrender, which will be a historic turning point.

This also indicates that the defenders of the northern cities of Zhao have lost the will to resist.

Such a great victory, such a surrender of great political significance, should have been a great joy.

However, the more Qing Qin made great achievements, the more he brought out the incompetence of the chestnut belly and the Yan generals present.

At this time, the chestnut belly, holding the right hand of the northern good news, even trembled a little.

Even if Qing Qin is a person close to Libei and can command 200,000 Yan troops, it is because of Libei's strong recommendation.

But the news of this great victory was an extremely fatal blow to the chestnut belly.

Before that, Li Bei could still shirk to King Yan, saying that Gu Yi City was tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and shirked the responsibility.

However, Daiyi Chengguo is not inferior to Guyi.

Qing Qin, who only has 200,000 armor, can take Daiyi and almost the entire Daijun without bloodshed, which is the biggest mockery of chestnut belly.

When King Yan heard the news, he was overjoyed and inevitably became more and more dissatisfied with the chestnut belly, and he might even change his generals in battle.

"No, I can't allow that to happen."

"Otherwise, even if Yan Guo wins a big victory in this battle, I will still have a reputation of shame, and it will be difficult to even preserve the position of Xiangguo."

"I will definitely take Gu Yi at any cost before this!"

Sure enough, just when Li Belly made up his mind to take Gu Yi at any cost, King Yan had already made up his mind and was ready to apologize to Le Jian, and then ordered him to come and command the army to attack Zhao.

Chestnut placed someone in front of King Yan, and after learning the news, he couldn't sleep all night.

The chestnut belly, who was originally high-spirited and had the momentum to guide the country, was already a little crazy at this time, only thinking about how to capture Gu Yi and how to expand the results of the battle.

"By the way, if the news of Daiyi's surrender without a fight is known to the defenders of Guyi, it will definitely be able to shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city."

"In this way, I will have a chance to conquer Gu Yi!"

Thinking of this, chestnut belly was excited.

He hurriedly divided nearly a hundred squads and shouted loudly around Gu Yi, spreading the news that the generals of Daiyi and the county guards surrendered without a fight, and the entire Daijun was occupied by the Yan State.
