48 Eastern Crusade of Zhao: Action of the Nations! (6)
When Xu Chu saw it, he looked disdainful.
At the same time, he also thought in his heart: "Compared with the elite of the Chu State, the Northern Qi State Army is simply too weak.
How can such a force win a battle?"
He had already given Gao Hong advice.
As for whether the city can be broken, it depends on Gao Hong's own.
"I'll go over there and take a look, and you can command the siege yourself."
Xu Chu really couldn't stand it, so he simply found an excuse to walk away.
"Good!" Gao Hong responded, feeling very shameless, and immediately, he shouted to the generals around him, "One by one, what are you still doing in a daze?"
Don't hurry up and command the siege!
Within half a day, it must be attacked. ”
.........
The Zhao army stationed in Huanggang City was not numerous.
It was only because the city defense was solid and the Northern Qi army was not good at attacking the city that it blocked the tidal impact again and again.
Until nightfall.
Wei Wuji rushed out of the city.
He didn't expect that the Northern Qi army would be so stupid that they wouldn't even be able to attack the city.
A small Huanggang city, with thousands of defenders, just blocked the attack of tens of thousands of troops!
"Da Sima, we don't have siege equipment, siege... Siege is too difficult. ”
Gao Hong complained vigorously.
"The Northern Qi army lacked training, and it was inevitable that the siege would not go well.
However, it can't go on like this!
Our hundreds of thousands of troops marched eastward and were blocked by a small Huanggang city.
Isn't this a thwart of our military? Wei Wuji frowned and said.
"Please rest assured, in two hours, I will definitely break the city!" Gao Hong immediately assured.
"Okay, I'll give you two more hours." Wei Wuji beat his horse and left.
As the saying goes, shame and then courage.
Gao Hong was trained by Wei Wuji to be very faceless, and he gave a death order to the generals of the Northern Qi army.
Within two hours, it is necessary to attack Huanggang City.
To do this, he organized more than a dozen massive charges.
Regardless of the dead and wounded, the attack was fatal.
Finally...
Hard work pays off.
Huanggang City was broken under the powerful offensive of the Northern Qi army.
But the casualties were also very heavy.
Gao Hong, as the prince of the Northern Qi Kingdom, felt very uncomfortable when he saw his Northern Qi sons fall down one after another.
However, Wei Wuji's military orders are like a mountain, and if he can't complete the task on time, he will not be able to explain it.
in the living room.
Wei Wuji summoned the generals.
He glanced at Gao Hong and said with a smile: "The little prince helped him wholeheartedly, stormed Huanggang City, and should be a model for the army."
Here, Ben Sima is very grateful.
Little prince, I will replace wine with tea and toast you. ”
Wei Wuji picked up the tea bottle.
"Xie Da Sima."
With Wei Wuji's words, the efforts of the Northern Qi army were not in vain.
Gao Hong drank tea and said: "Before setting out on the expedition, the emperor explained that 50,000 soldiers and horses were sent by Da Sima, whether it was a siege or a field vanguard, we had nothing to say. ”
"Good!"
Wei Wuji said: "With your support, we will win this battle!" ”
..........
In order to contain the Northern Qi army with heavy casualties, Wei Wuji did not hesitate to praise him.
Gao Hong was embarrassed to be praised.
He personally promised to lead the army to attack Ningxian and Huyang again.
These two cities are not far from Huanggang.
was supposed to respond to the defenders of Huanggang, but Xu Chu intercepted them halfway, and they didn't dare to come out.
The next day.
Gao Hong led the army forward.
It is still like ants gnawing on elephants, and the casualties are greater than the battle of Huanggang.
"Lord, the Northern Qi army is not good at attacking cities, don't you let them serve as the main attackers, don't you let them send them to death?
There are thousands of elites under the command of the last general, who can replace the Northern Qi army.
The last general promised to take Ningxian and Huyang at the cost of less than 1,000 casualties. ”
On the march, Xiang Yu said.
Wei Wuji shook his head, "Xiang Yu, Northern Qi sent 50,000 reinforcements and asked us for fifteen million worth of immortal wine.
If I don't send them to siege the city, won't it be a great loss? ”
Wei Wuji has his own considerations.
The immortal wine of the Chu State cannot be given to Northern Qi in vain.
That's a matter of putting your life in exchange.
Again...
In addition to the Northern Qi army, who can take on the heavy responsibility of besieging the city?
Expedition to the North? It was all formed by the captives of Zhao and Beiqing.
Let them go and attack their own country, there is a lot of resistance.
And the elite of the Chu State has to recuperate and prepare to destroy the country and fight.
You really can't send it out to consume.
"General Xiang, I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Wei Wuji said.
"Yes."
After paying heavy casualties, the Northern Qi army captured Ning County.
The defenders of Huyang learned of this and fled overnight.
Xu Chu took advantage of the situation to occupy Huyang.
Since then, the door of Zhao has been opened.
Wei Wuji's army can travel unhindered and reach the city of Handan.
............
............
When Wei Wuji invaded Zhao in full swing, all countries also had military operations.
First of all, the Wei State in the west, when it learned that the Northern Qi soldiers were outnumbered, raised 70,000 troops to attack.
South Korea, in the north, also thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and sent 50,000 troops to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty.
However, before they arrived in the Southern Jin Dynasty, they all withdrew.
Because they received news that the state of Chu was not going to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty, but to attack the state of Zhao.
The Beiqing State in the east, with the same breath as the Zhao State, when the Zhao State was attacked, did not hesitate to help the Zhao State with the strength of the whole country.
This is all the chain reaction brought about by Wei Wuji's dispatch of troops.
However, the competition between the nations had no effect on Wei Wuji.
The one who really has an impact, that is, Beiqingguo's aid to Zhao, will bring him some trouble.
Wei's attack on Northern Qi may also lead to Gao Yan's tens of thousands of troops being transferred back to Gao Hong.
Inside the account.
Wei Wuji continued to praise Gao Hong, and also named him the vanguard general of the Allied forces, allowing him to lead the army to take Handan.
Gao Hong was very embarrassed: "Great Sima, now, the Wei State is eyeing my Northern Qi and is anxious for reinforcements!"
Your Majesty asked me to rush back to help.
There is really nothing that can be done about attacking Zhao. ”
Wei Wuji said: "Little Lord, our war with the Zhao State will not last long.
As far as I know, there are only more than 20,000 defenders in Handan City.
We surrounded it with lightning speed, and within a few days, the city would surely be broken.
When the time comes, it will not be too late for you to return to Northern Qi again!
Again... There is an agreement between Northern Qi and my Chu State, and I will take fifteen million worth of immortal wine as a reward, please help me.
If you go back now, he will ...... How is this calculated? ”
Wei Wuji continued to persuade: "You still listen to me, wait for the capture of Handan City, and then return to Northern Qi." How is it? ”
"This..."
Gao Hong hesitated.
He felt that Wei Wuji's words were not unreasonable.
Since following Wei Wuji's Eastern Crusade, the Northern Qi army has won successive battles and has captured three fortified cities, which can be said to have made great contributions.
If you go now, you will be diplomatically passive in the future.
No matter how urgent it is, I don't care about these days.
Gao Hong said: "That is the case... I would like to listen to Da Sima's dispatch. ”
"Okay, I'll give the order now, march to Handan City.
Two days later, you will still be in the vanguard.
Whether you can destroy Zhao Guo or not depends on you. ”
Wei Wuji said.
"Yes."
Under the dispatch of Wei Wuji, the remaining tens of thousands of Northern Qi troops once again embarked on the road of the Eastern Expedition.
Xu Chu's Black Armor Army acted with the Northern Qi Army.
It is called mutual aid, but in fact it is supervising the war.
After that, it was the 100,000 Northern Army and the elite led by Xiang Yu.
The army marched mightily and headed for the capital of Zhao.
