Chapter Seventy-Three: The Soul Returns, to See the Mountains and Rivers

In the past 20 days, Wang Yi waited for reinforcements and siege equipment; On the other hand, study the city of light wolves and the climate here. Although the Light Wolf City is surrounded by water on three sides, it is not impregnable. There are many people in Wang Yi's army who have followed Wu Anjun for more than ten years to attack Guangwolf City and kill the generals of the Zhao army. Wang Ji besieged but did not attack, and he was formulating a plan to break the city.

At this time, the climate has entered June. The temperature has risen. Wang Yi saw that the Light Wolf City was in a dry period, and it must be the best time to attack the Light Wolf City. Therefore, Wang Yu ordered Wang Ling to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the north gate of Guangwolf City; led an army of 20,000 with Meng Fu to attack the south gate of Guangwolf City; Wang Yiqin led an army to attack Ximen from the front,

Wang Ji knew very well that the siege of the city must be stopped. The Qin army besieged the city, and the momentum was like a rainbow. If Zhao Jun sees that there is no way out, he will fight to the death. Wang Di left the east gate for Zhao Jun, and when Zhao Jun saw that there was a way out, he would not go all out to meet the battle. However, Wang Di would not let the Zhao army in the city flee to the east to preserve the strength of the battle. He also asked Wang Ye to take advantage of the night to lead the army to ambush three miles from the east gate.

Wang Yu took advantage of the night to select the best men, and in addition, the 50,000 new soldiers brought by Meng Fu went to replace the tired army of the siege. The time of the child has passed, and it is the time when man is most needy. Wang Yi waved the battle flag and ordered: "Beat the drum." ”

Suddenly, the drums beat loudly and the shouts shook the sky.

Xu Lian heard the sound of drums and stood on the tower to watch, but saw that the Qin army was just beating drums and shouting as usual, and there was no sign of marching. Zhao Jun was accustomed to the movement of the Qin army at night, and he was not guarded, so he fell asleep in the city.

At this time, the Qin army had already waded through the water and built a pontoon bridge. A large number of Qin troops quietly arrived under the city, prepared the ladders, and waited for the order to attack the city. Seeing that Zhao Jun did not make any reaction, Wang Ji was silent, his long sword was unsheathed, and he shouted: "Siege the city." ”

I saw that under Wang Yi's order, tens of thousands of Qin troops bent their bows and arrows, and ten thousand arrows were fired into the city. I saw arrows piercing the night sky like meteors and falling into the Light Wolf City, and then, screams erupted in the city.

The Qin army crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the city. The Qin army under the city set up a cloud ladder and rushed to climb to the Light Wolf City.

Xu Lian, Sima Lang and other generals were the first to react, but they were rained by the arrows of the Qin army and did not dare to raise their heads. Xu Lian ordered the soldiers to dodge on one side, and prepared to fight back on the other. Because Zhao Jun didn't expect the Qin army to suddenly attack the city, countless soldiers fell into the rain of arrows of the Qin army.

The Qin army took the lead and frightened Zhao Jun not daring to raise his head.

Xu Lian saw that his army lost most of its soldiers because of carelessness. Seeing that the rain of arrows of the Qin army had stopped, he immediately commanded the soldiers to fight back. Hundreds of arrows were shot at the Qin army. Wang Yu commanded his soldiers to protect their bodies with shields and let the archers shoot at the tower.

For a while, Zhao Jun was condescending, rushing up and shooting down. Qin Army, shoot from the bottom to the top. Zhao Jun was hit by an arrow and fell from the city tower. One soldier fell in the Qin army, and another soldier immediately made up for it. Although the Zhao army occupied a favorable geographical position, the Qin army was numerous, and the Qin army won an overwhelming victory.

Xu Lian saw that the arrows had been shot, and saw the Qin army climb the city tower, command the soldiers, and go to fight the Qin army. The Zhao army killed one Qin army, and the other Qin army climbed up again. Soon, at the west gate of Light Wolf City, many Qin troops had already boarded.

Xu Lian saw that the soldiers could not resist, and heard that the south gate, the north gate, and the captain who guarded the city had been killed in battle. A large number of Qin troops are fiercely attacking the south gate and the north gate.

Xu Lian saw that the general trend had gone, and he couldn't resist the offensive of the Qin army, so he fought and retreated, heading to the east gate. Sima Lang guarded the east gate and saw that there were Qin troops attacking the city in the south, north and west, but he did not see the Qin army at the east gate. At that moment, he ordered Captain Yu to lead a thousand men and horses to the rescue.

Xu Lian was besieged by the Qin army and could not get out of the battle to the death. Since he could not break out of the encirclement, he was ready to die in battle. Xu Lian fought with the Qin army, and when he saw that reinforcements were coming behind the Qin army, his morale was greatly boosted, and he commanded the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely. Xu Lian joined forces with the reinforcements to attack the Qin army. Captain Yu came to Xu Lian and said, "General Xu, the north gate and the south gate have fallen, and the west gate can't be defended." General Sima asked me to lead an army to meet you and go out to the east gate. ”

Xu Lian killed several Qin soldiers and shouted to the soldiers, "Retreat to the east gate." ”

When Sima Lang saw Xu Lian coming, he ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and shouted, "General Xu, go quickly." ”

Xu Lian led the soldiers and withdrew from the east gate. Sima Lang saw a large number of Qin troops rushing over, and said to the soldiers: "After we break off, we will buy time for General Xu to evacuate." ”

Yu Duwei said: "General Sima retreats quickly, and the end will be cut off." ”

Sima Lang pointed his sword at the ground and shouted, "I lost Eryan City, I deserved to die." I didn't die, just to kill the Qin army. How can they withdraw again? At this time, it was the time of the bloody battle with the Qin army, and the blood was unwilling and the battle to the death was endless. Soldiers, follow me to the battle. ”

The soldiers shouted: "We will follow General Sima to the death." ”

Seeing the Qin army coming, the distance was getting closer and closer, and he said anxiously: "General Sima, the Qin army is strong, and we can't be the enemy." If General Sima can retain his vital strength, we can still go to war with Qin. General Sima, please focus on the overall situation and lead the army to evacuate. ”

"I can't go." Sima Lang said: "I'm leaving, and the Qin army will take advantage of the situation to chase and kill." None of us can escape. I stayed to intercept the Qin army, and I could also buy time for General Xu. ”

Commander Yu commanded the two lieutenants and shouted, "You escort General Sima away." ”

Sima Lang saw the two lieutenants coming over and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”

The two lieutenants shouted, "General Sima, offended. ”

The two lieutenants forcibly let Sima Lang leave, and Yu Duwei said: "Leave the people in the headquarters, and the rest will go." ”

Two more lieutenants led their troops away.

"Close the gates." Captain Yu led the only remaining five hundred people around him, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, prepare to fight. ”

The soldiers of the Zhao army shouted in unison: "Wow." ”

"Kill the enemy with me to repay the king's kindness." Yu Duwei personally led the soldiers and rushed over. The morale of the Zhao army also increased greatly, and he killed the Qin army with a sword.

Wang Ling led 2,000 soldiers to rush, and when he saw that Zhao had less than 500 soldiers, they all rushed to die first, and ordered: "Kill." ”

Captain Yu was not afraid, and led his army to rush over, but was shot by the arrows of the Qin army. Captain Yu pulled out his arrow and shouted, "Kill." ”

Sima Lang saw that his troops would be killed by the Qin army, and when he heard the soldiers passing through the city gate, he shouted: "General Sima, go quickly." ”

The two lieutenants also said: "General Sima Lang, let's go!" Don't let Captain Yu die worthless. ”

Sima Lang ran wildly all the way, tears falling behind him, and shouted, "Withdraw." ”

Xu Lian led 5,000 soldiers out of the east gate and headed for Danshui. The army marched three miles, but saw the flames everywhere, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Then came the rain of arrows. Seeing that there was an ambush in front of him and a chasing soldier behind, Xu Lian had no way out, pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to kill." ”

Wang Ye saw the Zhao army rushing towards him, leaving 300 people to defend the dangerous place, and he led the army to rush over. The two armies fought each other in hand-to-hand combat. Seeing that Xu Lian was under siege, Sima Lang led a thousand soldiers who had escaped from the city to come to help.

Wang Ye is worthy of being a fierce general on the battlefield of the Qin army, and he is extremely strong. In the middle of the formation, he rushed left and right, disrupting the formation of the Zhao army. With 3,000 soldiers, he blocked 6,000 soldiers of Zhao State.

At this time, I heard the sound of Qin Jun's shouting and killing from behind.

Xu Lian and Sima Lang joined forces and fought side by side. Xu Lian saw that he couldn't break through, and the Qin army was chasing again, and said with a smile: "Brother Sima, we have no way out." It seems that we are dying with this. ”

Sima Lang laughed and said, "Being able to fight side by side with General Xu is a great joy in life. Here, good mountains and good water, wouldn't it be just right to bury my remnants? ”

When Xu Lian heard this, he was not afraid of life and death, and said with a smile: "Qingshan buries loyal bones." ”

Sima Lang continued: "The horse leather shroud is returned." ”

Xu Lian and Sima Lang smiled at each other, and then rushed towards Wang Ye. Wang Ling led his army to catch up with the Zhao army and engage it. The soldiers around Xu Lian and Sima Lang became fewer and fewer the more they fought, and there were only 200 left.

Wang Ling and Wang Ye surrounded the Zhao army, and saw that the other party's general trend had gone. At this time, the sky is already bright and the sun is shining, but people do not feel the slightest warmth.

Wang Ling shouted: "Xu Lian, Sima Lang, you have gone to the general trend, and you are not going to descend soon." ”

The soldiers of the Qin army shouted: "Don't come down soon." ”

Zhao Junjun, you look at me, I look at you, they are all waiting for Xu Lian to make an idea. Xu Lian leaned back to Sima Lang and said with a laugh: "Brother Sima, call you down." ”

Sima Lang also smiled: "Brother Xu, you called you to surrender." ”

Xu Lian asked, "Do you think I will descend?" ”

Sima Lang also said: "Do you think I will descend?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't survive and didn't want to die at the hands of Qin Jun, Xu Lian pleaded: "Brother Sima, you can do it!" Kill me. ”

Sima Lang shook his body and pleaded: "Brother Xu, do it!" Kill me. ”

Xu Lian's heart, which coincided with the other party, proposed: "Let's do it together." ”

"Okay." Sima Lang said sharply: "One, two, three." ”

Although the words fell, the two of them raised their long swords, but they couldn't do it. Xu Lian closed his eyes and was ready to pierce his chest with a long sword, but he didn't feel the moment of death for a long time. Xu Lian asked, "Why don't you do it?" ”

Sima Lang said: "I can't do it!" ”

Xu Lian said: "I can't do it either." ”

Seeing that Zhao Jun was delayed, Wang Ling lost his patience and shouted: "Xu Lian, your ancestor Xu Jun is a generation of famous generals. My general cherishes his talents, if you surrender to me, I will make you a famous general. ”

Wang Ye shouted: "If you don't surrender, you will only die." ”

"Down, down, down." The soldiers of the Qin army shouted.

Xu Lian looked up at the sky, the floating clouds, remembered the things of the ancestors, and said with emotion: "Zhao Kingdom, how beautiful the mountains and rivers are!" ”

Sima Lang also sighed: "Yes! Zhao Guo, how beautiful the mountains and rivers are! The ancestors, following Zhao's father, walked Hufu, pushed horses and shots, died in Zhongshan, hit Sanhu, expanded Hujiang, built the Great Wall, and established a thousand-year foundation. I'm a boy from the Zhao family, how proud I was. King Hui, chasing the Central Plains, is also beating all the princes. When it comes to my generation, I can't hold the territory laid down by my ancestors. ”

"yes!" Xu Lian exclaimed sadly: "The children and grandchildren are incompetent, and they are ashamed of their ancestors." ”

Sima Lang sang: "Qingshan buries the bones of the faithful, and the horse leather shrouds are returned." The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning? Zhao has an iron horse, who is competing for power?"

Xu Lian took a hard breath and also sang: "The mountains and rivers are majestic, and the heavens and the earth are vast." Hit Beihu today, and restore my mountains and rivers. The mountains are woody, and the country is dead. When the body is dead, he will be buried in the mountain. ”

The two shouted in unison: "The soul returns, to see the mountains and rivers." ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they raised their long swords and stabbed them in the chest. When the soldiers of the Zhao army saw that the main general was killed, they cried and shouted: "General Xu, General Sima." ”

"The soul returns, to see the mountains and rivers." All the soldiers sang in unison, not afraid of life and death, raised their long swords, and rushed towards the Qin army.

Seeing that the Zhao army was unwilling to surrender, Wang Ling ordered: "Kill." ”

Wang Ji and Meng Wei led the army to come, but they saw Zhao generals Xu Lian and Sima Lang commit suicide and die, and saw Zhao soldiers and soldiers, all of whom were killed.

Meng Fu asked, "General, why is the Zhao army..."

Wang Di dismounted, looked at the corpses of both the enemy and us, and said with emotion: "This is Zhao Zu after Hu Fu rode and shot!" ”

Wang Ling said: "General, this is the most bloody and brave soldier I have ever seen. ”

"Zhao is brave!" Wang Yi looked at the dead Zhao pawn in front of him, looked into the distance, and sighed: "We are at war with Zhao State, and the two sides will fight, and we will definitely lose our lives!" ”

Wang Ye saw that General Zhao had been killed, and he had broken the Light Wolf City, and said in a loud voice: "General, if you go forward fifty miles, you will be the Dan River." Lian Po is on the Dan River. ”

"Pass the order down and bury these soldiers who died for the country." Wang Yi turned over his horse, reinvigorated his morale, and said loudly: "Hu Yan, listen to orders." ”

Hu Yan said: "The last will be." ”

Wang Yi said: "You lead 5,000 soldiers to go first and look for the main force of Lian Po." Remember, when encountering the main force of the Zhao army, you can't fight easily. ”

"The last general commands." Hu Yan led 5,000 men and horses, murderous, and headed towards the Dan River.
