Chapter 63: Feng Ting is killed
Wang Ji saw that the reinforcements of Zhao State were coming, and the battle must be resolved quickly. So, Wang Ji divided the army into three armies. The left army, led by Wang Ling, led 80,000 troops, attacked the left side of Shangdang County and cut off the connection between Zhao and Wei. The right army, led by Wang Ye, led an army of 30,000 to attack the right of Shangdang County, and intercepted Jinyang of Zhao State and went south to rescue. Wang Yi personally led the Chinese army and approached the Shangdang County and County Office.
Huayang Jun saw that the Qin State was attacking fiercely, and the current strength was unable to hold the party. In order to buy time for Pingyuanjun to lead the people of Shangdang to evacuate, Huayangjun took the initiative to ask for his life to stay behind and break the queen. Feng Ting knew very well that the most threatening of Qin's three-way army was the Chinese army. Therefore, a large number of soldiers were dispatched to block Wang Di's main force. Pingyuan Jun saw that Shangdang was far away from the Zhao country, and the closest place was Changping, so he led the people of Shangdang to Changping with the old and the young.
Wang Ling led the left army, and without fierce resistance, easily captured the city of Shangdang and cut off the connection between Wei and Zhao. Wang Ling saw that the border of Wei was harmonious, and there was no army to hoard, leaving 10,000 soldiers to guard against Wei, and led the rest of the soldiers to join the party. Wang Ling saw the Qin army, and everywhere he went, he was invincible and invincible. The army and the people of the Shangdang did not fight, and fled in all directions.
When Wang Ling saw the Zhao army of the Shangdang, he was like a frightened bird, and he did not love war, so he took the county seat of the Shangdang. Wang Ling took Zhang Xian as the vanguard and led 5,000 troops first. Zhang Xian's 5,000 soldiers were unimpeded in Shangdang County and were not intercepted by the army of Zhao State. Zhang Xian saw that the Sanjin man was so weak, so he wanted to make great achievements on his own and came to Shangdang City.
Zhang Xian said in a loud voice: "Feng Ting, your general trend has gone, and the Zhao State is unreliable, so it is better to surrender to my Qin State." The king of Qin cherishes his generals and will not treat him badly. ”
Feng Ting saw that the unknown young general of the Qin State dared to lead 5,000 soldiers, and the lone army went deep, and he also spoke wildly. Suddenly, he was furious and said: "I am a man of the Three Jins, how can I descend to you." Today, I will let you see the blood and courage of the Sanjin boys. ”
As soon as Feng Ting's words fell, he walked down the city tower, lit up 10,000 soldiers, and went out of the city. Seeing that Feng Ting did not choose to retreat in the city, Zhang Xian actually opened the city gate to look for death, and said coldly: "Feng Ting, you are against the Qin State, there is only a dead end." Those who know the times are handsome, and they are not fast down. ”
"Hugh has to say more." Feng Ting pulled out his long sword and said in a loud voice, "Kill." ”
Zhang Xian saw that Feng Ting did not surrender, and although the enemy was numerous, he did not take the other party seriously. Seeing Feng Ting killing, Zhang Xian pulled out his long sword, waved it forward, and said in a loud voice: "Kill." ”
The two soldiers handed over, and the sound of iron armor colliding, wailing, neighing of war horses, and shouting of killing was deafening. Zhang fought with one first, but saw that the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army in front of him was different from the Zhao army he had met before. However, he couldn't fall into Great Qin's morale.
At this moment, a Zhao army came from the rear, and Zhao troops rushed over on the left and right. Zhang Xian saw that he was besieged by several times the Zhao army, but he was not afraid and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Feng Ting killed several people, saw Zhang Xian, and shouted: "I will not come to take my life again." ”
Zhang Xian was provoked by the other party, and he was furious, and rushed over single-handedly. Zhang Xian thought to himself, as long as he killed Feng Ting, the victory would belong to him.
However, Zhang Xian underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army. I don't know that this is a strategy set up by Feng Ting with his own life as bait. Zhang Xian didn't know what to do, rushed to Feng Ting, and was besieged by the Zhao army. Feng Ting held his sword, rushed over, and after several confluences of battles, he killed Zhang Xian.
When the Qin army saw that the general was killed, their morale was unstable and they fled for their lives in all directions.
The news that Zhang Xian was surrounded by the party and beheaded soon spread to Wang Ling. When Wang Ling saw that Ai was about to be killed, how could he not be angry, and shouted: "Feng Ting Lao'er, behead my beloved general." Pass the order down, give up the spoils of war, and go straight to the party. I want a Sanjin man, trembling in front of the Qin State. ”
Wang Ling led the army and quickly besieged Shangdang. Wang Ling glanced at the city tower and said, "Feng Ting, where is you?" ”
Feng Ting stood on the city tower, saw General Qin calling for battle, and said loudly: "The old man is Feng Ting." Who are you? ”
"I am the fifth doctor of the Qin State, and the tomb of the king is also."
"Er Nai, five doctors, I thought it was Wang Di here."
Seeing that the other party didn't take him in his eyes at all, Wang Ling said angrily, "I don't have the ability to speak with you. In a word, fall, or not. ”
"No."
"If you don't surrender, when I break the city, there will be no one left."
"Husband, there is always death. Wouldn't it be a joy to die fighting for your country? ”
"Hahaha." Wang Ling found the weakness in the other party's words, and asked in a cold voice: "Feng Ting Lao'er, are you fighting for Korea or for Zhao State." Are you Han Chen, or Zhao Chen. ”
"I will go to the party and dedicate it to Zhao Guo, which is Zhao Chen."
"You are a man of the Han family, for your own selfishness, betrayed Korea, betrayed the king of Han, and dedicated the party to Zhao Guo. After death, are you worthy of your ancestors? ”
"Ancestors, you must be proud of my generation."
Wang Lingle stepped forward, took out an arrow, and shot an arrow at the tower. The arrows whistled past Feng Ting's ears, frightening the generals around him, and their expressions changed greatly. However, Huayangjun was as immobile as a mountain, and his expression was calm.
"But if you don't fall, the next arrow will go through your breast."
The lieutenant Han Yan took the arrow and the letter it carried from the wooden pillar and handed it to Feng Ting. Feng Ting took the arrows and letters, didn't look at them, pulled out the big bow, and shot towards the royal tomb. Feng Ting was condescending, and with the wind, the arrow hit the deputy general behind Wang Ling.
Feng Ting saw that he didn't shoot Wang Ling, and sighed: "Alas, after a long time of not being in battle, archery skills are lagging behind. ”
Wang Ling saw that the other party was stubbornly resisting, and persuaded him to surrender: "Feng Ting Lao'er, in the face of Great Qin, you have no chance of winning if you are strong and oppressive. Gentleman, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and do not fall quickly. ”
The soldiers of the Qin army shouted: "Surrender, surrender, surrender." ”
Feng Ting was not frightened by Qin Jun's momentum, and laughed loudly: "Sanjin man, how can I descend you." ”
Wang Ling asked, "Do you know what will happen if you go against the Qin State?" ”
Feng Tingcai didn't think about this headache, and said highly: "Sanjin boy, I am willing to die in battle." ”
Seeing that the other party did not surrender, Wang Ling did not say more, slowly drew out his long sword, waved it forward, and said solemnly: "The Great Qin soldiers listen to the order, when the city is broken, there will be no soldiers and civilians in the city." ”
The drums of war thundered and resounded all over the mountains. The Qin army heard the sound of war drums and swarmed there. Feng Ting saw that the Qin army had reached the firing range, and the long sword swung forward and shouted, "Release the arrow." ”
Thousands of arrows, like a torrential rain, flew towards the Qin army. In the face of the rain of arrows of the Zhao army, not only did not retreat, but went forward one after another, stepping on the corpses of their comrades.
The Qin army arrived at the bottom of the city, set up a ladder, and climbed upward. Feng Ting was on the city tower, commanding the soldiers, smashing wood and stones at the climbing Qin army, and using hook locks and rockets to destroy the ladder of the Qin army. However, the Qin army was unstoppable, one Qin army fell, and another Qin army climbed up.
Not long after, a Qin army climbed the tower.
Feng Ting commanded the soldiers and fought with the Qin soldiers at close range.
At this time, a person came in a hurry, and said in a hurry: "Huayangjun, Ximen can't stand it." ”
As soon as the words fell, another person shouted: "Huayangjun, the north gate is in an emergency." ”
Feng Ting took a look at the offensive of the Qin army outside the city and shouted, "Resist it for me, I can't let a single Qin army come in." ”
In this battle, Wang Ling used wheel tactics to storm the city. Soon, the Qin army opened a gap in the walls of the West Gate.
Wang Ling ordered the deputy general Ren Qiu, commanding the soldiers, entering through the gap, leading the army himself, and containing the Zhao army on the city tower. Not long after, the West Gate was occupied by the Qin army. Feng Ting saw that the Qin army had broken through the West Gate, and fought and retreated, starting a street battle with the Qin army.
The Qin army was not familiar with the terrain and suffered a great loss. However, Wang Ling continued to attack regardless of casualties. The war was not over until night.
As the day dawned, Feng Ting was compressed in a corner of the north gate. At this time, Wang Ye led the right army and came to help.
Wang Ling shouted: "Don't come down soon." ”
Feng Ting saw that there were less than 100 soldiers around him. These men were crippled and scarred. Seeing that the general trend was gone, Feng Ting held the long sword in his hand and said with a relieved smile: "I can finally die." ”
When Han Yan saw Feng Ting, he was about to kill himself, so he stopped him: "Huayangjun, you can't die." ”
The generals also said: "Huayangjun, you can't die." ”
Feng Ting looked at these soldiers who survived the battle with him, and praised: "You are all good, you are my three Jin men. ”
Feng Ting's words changed abruptly, and he said: "Our general trend has gone, and I can only die." When I die, if you fall, I will not blame you. ”
Han Yan cried: "Huayang-kun, let's descend!" ”
"Drop?" Feng Ting laughed loudly: "I was originally Han Chen, because I couldn't bear to be slaughtered by the Qin State because I couldn't bear the people of the Shangdang, I dedicated it to the Zhao State and became Zhao Chen. If I surrender again, I will become a Qin minister. Do you know how there is a saying, loyal ministers do not matter two kings. I served the king of Han first, and then the king of Zhao. I have lost the integrity of my courtiers. How can you descend to Qin again in order to survive? ”
Han Yan said: "Huayang-kun, being alive is more important than anything else. ”
"Sanjin man, if you die, you will die. How can you descend to Qin? Feng Ting said in a tough tone: "I must not embarrass the Sanjin man." ”
As he spoke, Feng Ting wanted to take his own life. Han Yan didn't want to watch Huayangjun kill himself, so he clutched the long sword tightly.
Feng Ting shouted, "Han Yan, don't let go yet." I will never surrender to Qin and insult the reputation of the Sanjin boys. ”
"Huayangjun is right, how can the three Jin men descend to Qin." Han Yan said in a loud voice: "Sanjin boy, I'd rather die in battle." The last general is willing to fight with Huayang Jun and Qin for the last time. ”
The generals also said: "We are also willing to follow Huayang Jun and fight Qin for the last time." ”
Feng Ting looked at these men and couldn't help but shed tears, "I'm dead, you..."
Han Yan let go of the long sword and said, "I am willing to die with Huayangjun." ”
The soldiers also said loudly: "I am willing to die with Huayang Jun." ”
"Okay." Huayang Jun praised: "Sanjin boy, I'd rather die than surrender." Our last battle with the state of Qin. In the afterlife, we are fighting side by side. ”
"Huayang-kun, the last general will go first." After Han Yan finished speaking, he held his long sword and ran towards the Qin army. When the soldiers saw it, they also rushed to the Qin army. Wang Ling saw that Zhao Jun was overwhelmed, and ordered: "Kill." ”
When Feng Ting saw the soldiers, they fell down one after another, and laughed wildly: "Kill." ”
Wang Ye was frightened by Zhao Jun's boldness. He never thought that these people would not seek to live, but to die. Wang Ling admired these people who fought for the country, and shouted: "Bury them." ”
After cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Ye counted the corpses of both the enemy and us, and came to Wang Ling and said: "Fifth Master, in this battle, we won a complete victory, captured Shangdang, and beheaded 5,000. ”
"What do you say? We beheaded five thousand. Wang Ling said, "How many casualties have we suffered?" ”
"Twenty thousand casualties."
When Wang Ling got this number, he said with a slightly angry expression: "Enemy, five thousand dead." We suffered 20,000 casualties. Five thousand Zhao troops blocked my tens of thousands of troops for a day and a night. ”
"Although we paid the price, we broke through the party and beheaded Feng Ting and others."
"Not true. Pingyuan Jun led an army of 50,000 to accept Shangdang, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shangdang County. Wang Ling asked, "Is there the corpse of Pingyuan Jun and his predecessor Jin Junshou?" How many people were in the city? ”
"I didn't see the bodies of Pingyuanjun and Jin Junshou. Nor did they see a single common man in the city. ”
"Didn't you see the corpses of Pingyuanjun and Jin Junshou, and there were no people in the city?"
Wang Ye asked: "Could it be that Pingyuan Jun and Jin Jun Shou saw that they couldn't stop us, so they fled without a fight, left Feng Ting, and fought with us." ”
"Pingyuan Jun and Jin Jun have fled, and the people have nothing, how can this be explained."
"Could it be that Feng Ting intends to stay and fight with us. His purpose was to help Pingyuanjun and the people of Shangdang to buy time to escape. ”
"Hurry up and chase after me." Wang Ling saw that he had lost so many soldiers, and he must not let Pingyuan Jun lead the people of Shangdang to flee to Zhao State.
Wang Ye hurriedly said: "The matter of pursuing Pingyuan Jun, do you want to wait until Zuo Shu Chang comes before making a decision." ”
Wang Ling said: "The soldiers are fast, and there is no time to delay, and we must not let Pingyuan Jun escape back to Zhao State." ”
"What should I do if Zuo Shuchang blames him."
"I'll take care of anything." Wang Ling unfolded the map and pointed to a point on the map, "Here, it is the closest to the mainland of Zhao State." Where is this place? ”
Wang Ye said: "This is the Changping of Zhao State. ”
"Changping." Wang Ling gestured a little, and said: "This place is a hundred miles away from Shangdang. ”
"A hundred miles away, in an instant. Pingyuanjun led the people of Shangdang back to Changping, and we couldn't catch up. ”
"Pingyuanjun is alone, back to Changping, we can't catch up." Wang Ling said: "There are many people in the party, and they are helping the old and the young. Shangdang arrived in Changping, and the road was difficult. The journey must be slow. If we pursue with iron horses, we will surely catch up with the Plains King. ”
Wang Ye said: "We have less than 5,000 iron horsemen, and it will be useless to catch up." ”
"Zhao Jun is like a frightened bird, facing the pursuing soldiers, he has already been frightened, how dare he fight." Wang Ling knew what kind of vicious circle the rout would bring, and said: "We pursued Pingyuan Jun, took advantage of the situation to capture Changping, and approached Wu'an. Zhao Guo Handan, we are just around the corner. ”
Wang Ye said: "I led a thousand iron horsemen first, followed by five doctors. ”
"Okay." Wang Ling looked at the land of Changping, gritted his teeth, and said slightly angrily: "We must catch up with Pingyuan Jun, and we must not let him return to the country." ”
