It is said that Sima Lang led the army to aid Shi Mo and others, and saw that the army was ambushed by the Qin army halfway, and the Qin general Wang Ling beheaded the four captains of the Zhao State. Sima Lang engaged in battle, and when he saw that he could not win, he led his army to withdraw from the battlefield.

Sima Lang saw that the grain and grass in Eryan City were exhausted, and the soldiers were too few to hold on. So, Sima Lang led the remnants of the army and fled eastward. Before leaving, Sima Lang ordered people to burn the grain and grass in Eryan City, leaving an empty minister for the Qin army.

Sima Lang led his army to flee eastward, and the Qin general Wang Ling was in hot pursuit. Sima Lang fled to the Light Wolf City and shouted, "Open the city gates." ”

Seeing that it was Sima Lang, Xu Lian, the guard of Light Wolf City, shouted, "Quick, open the city gate." ”

Xu Lian walked down the city tower and saw that Sima Lang and the others had broken armor and were covered with blood, so he already knew that everyone and the Qin army had gone through a bloody battle. Xu Lian saw that Sima Lang led 20,000 soldiers to go and came back less than 3,000, so he had already deduced that Eryan City was more than auspicious.

Xu Lian saw that the soldiers were embarrassed, and persuaded: "Brother Sima, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you should not be overly sad." What we have lost today, we will one day regain it in double. ”

Sima Lang saw that of the 20,000 soldiers he brought with him, less than 3,000 were alive, and wept bitterly: "The Second City was lost, and the four captains and eight captains of our department were all killed. Only these soldiers fled with me. How can I not be sad! ”

When Xu Lian heard the news, his heart fluctuated, and he said sadly: "What, Eryan City has been lost." My army of tens of thousands is gone. ”

Sima Lang cried: "The last general is incompetent, he is ashamed of the fallen soldiers, and he is even more entrusted by the honest old general." ”

Xu Lian's teeth were about to crack, his eyes were full of flames, he pulled out his long sword, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Sima, you do your best." Next, the task of intercepting the Qin army was entrusted to me. ”

At this time, Gan Duwei stood on the city tower and shouted: "General Xu, there is dust and smoke ahead, and a large number of Qin troops have been found. ”

"Just in time." Xu Lian Zheng wanted to avenge the fallen soldiers, and the Qin army sent it up, picked up a long sword and rushed into the city tower, shouting angrily: "Everyone, follow me to intercept the Qin army." ”

Sima Lang and the others also rushed to the city tower together, drew their long swords, and prepared for battle. Wang Ling led a large army forward, but saw another city appear in front of him. I also saw the Zhao army on the city tower, ready to fight, and did not give the order to attack the city.

When Wang Ji saw that he had broken through the second city of Zhao and killed more than 20,000 Zhao troops, he led a large army, divided into two routes, and marched along the river to pursue the remaining Zhao army.

Along the way, Wang Yi saw that Zhao Jun had lost his armor and his corpses were all over the field, and mocked: "Zhao Jun is defeated!" We attacked from Qinshui, broke the Gaoping Fortress, occupied Laomaling, and broke the Eryan City. At the end of this river is Danshui. At such a marching speed, we will take Changping, just around the corner! ”

One said: "The general is right, we will take Changping, just around the corner." ”

Another said: "In addition to the battle of Yanhe, my Daqin boy, how could he have killed so many soldiers in battle. ”

"Whoever makes our opponent is Lian Po." Wang Yi sighed: "When we meet Lian Po, we can still win, we should be content." ”

The previous man asked, "General, we have been fighting with Zhao Jun for so long, and we haven't seen Lian Po yet." The general has a few chances of winning against Lian Po. ”

"At first, I learned that my opponent was Lian Po, and I was very jealous, and the odds of winning were no more than 30%. After a few battles, after the battle, I saw that Zhao Jun was weak, and my chances of winning were fifty percent more. Wang Di changed his words and said: "Lian Po has been defeated several times, but he can make a response in such a short period of time and take offense as defense." From Gaoping Fortress to Eryan City, it was only a hundred miles, and it actually stopped our army for three months. The odds of winning are fifty percent. ”

One person exclaimed: "The general has a five-point chance of winning against Lian Po." ”

"Fifty percent of the odds are good." Seeing that the generals were not satisfied with this answer, Wang Yi said with a smile: "Lian Po has lost Lao Maling, and he can set up two cities between the two rivers to block us." It can be shown that Lian Po can use soldiers! Maybe Lian Po will set up a city to stop me. ”

As soon as Wang Di's words fell, he saw that the scout was in a hurry and sent a letter. Wang Yi unfolded the letter, looked at it, and his face changed greatly.

Seeing that Wang Di's expression was different, the generals asked in unison, "General, what's wrong?" ”

"Guys, what did I just say?" Wang Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Lian Po has set up a city to block me at the confluence of two rivers. What is really to say, what to come. Lian Po was in a dangerous place, set up a city to intercept it, and consumed our army. This person is too difficult to deal with. ”

Wang Yu handed the map of Kanyu sent by the scouts to the generals and asked, "What is this city called?" ”

Everyone watched a little, shook their heads and said, "The end will not know." ”

Wang Yi was also not familiar with this place, seeing that no one knew where the two rivers converged, and in order to prevent Wang Ling from falling into isolation, he said loudly: "The whole army will move forward and rush to the aid of the five doctors." ”

Wang Yi led the army to march for several miles, and when he saw the headquarters of Wang Ling, he did not move. When Wang Ling saw Wang Di leading a large army coming, he saluted and said, "General, the Zhao army has set up a city at the confluence of two great rivers to block me. The last general saw that the Zhao army had already prepared, and did not dare to attack rashly. ”

"You're doing the right thing." Wang Yi looked at the Zhao Juncheng Tower, saw that the Zhao army was ready to fight, defending and counterattacking, and said: "You are pursuing the remnants of the Zhao army from Eryan City, and our army is tired. Zhao Jun, waiting for work. If we attack rashly, we will suffer a great loss. ”

Wang Ling asked, "General, do you want the last general to lead the army to attack the city?" ”

"No need." Wang Yu asked: "Look at this city, surrounded by water on three sides, the terrain is prominent. This city is even more difficult to fight than the second city. We came from Erxiang City, and the soldiers were exhausted from the long journey. Today, let's set up camp for the time being. ”

"Whoa." Wang Ling received the order and went to convey the order.

"Wait." Wang Yi shouted.

Wang Ling stopped, turned around, and asked, "General, what else do you have to order?" ”

Wang Yi asked, "What is the name of this city?" ”

Wang Ling said: "Light Wolf City." ”

"Light Wolf City." Wang Yi saw that he vaguely saw the three words Guangwolf City on the city tower, and there were words on his lips, and suddenly his eyes moved, and he laughed: "It turns out that this city is the Light Wolf City!" ”

Wang Ling asked, "General, you know this city." ”

Wang Ji said eloquently: "Of course I know this city. Do you know why this city is called the City of Light Wolves? ”

Wang Ling said: "This name is very indecent. How could Zhao Guo name this city the Light Wolf City. ”

"Because of that bloody battle, there are no people in this place for dozens of miles, only wolves." Wang Yi remembered the past of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and said with arrogance in his eyes: "More than ten years ago, Wei and Zhao invaded Korea, and Bingfeng arrived in Huayang. The king of Han was defeated by Wei and Zhao, so he asked my king to help. My king took Wu Anjun as his general and went to help. Wu Anjun defeated the combined forces of Wei and Zhao in Huayang, and beheaded more than 100,000 Wei troops. In the Light Wolf City, defeat Zhao Guo and kill 30,000 Zhao pawns. ”

All the generals said: "Wu Anjun once killed 30,000 Zhao soldiers here?" ”

"Wu Anjun not only killed 30,000 Zhao soldiers, but also destroyed the city." Wang Yi didn't expect Zhao Guo to be able to rebuild the city on the ruins of the original Light Wolf City in such a short period of time, far better than in the past, and sighed: "I didn't expect it! The Zhao army built a city here again, and it was even stronger than back then. ”

Wang Ling heard that Wu Anjun had been here, and he killed 30,000 Zhao soldiers, and his blood surged, and he said loudly: "We can defeat Zhao Guo once here." We will be able to defeat Zhao for the second time. ”

"Not bad. If Wu Anjun can break through this city, we can also break it. Wang Ji said again: "Command the army, rest for the time being, and choose a day to attack the city." ”

"Whoa." Wang Ling left and went to convey the order.

Xu Lian and other generals stood on the city tower and saw the arrival of the main force of the Qin army, but instead of taking advantage of the situation to attack the city, they withdrew their troops for three miles and set up camp. Sima Lang asked, "Brother Xu, why didn't the Qin army take advantage of the situation to attack the city." ”

Yidu Lieutenant said: "The Qin army is timid and does not dare to attack the city. ”

Xu Lian shook his head and said, "The Qin army is known as the army of tigers and wolves, how can it be cowardly. ”

Sima Lang fought with the Qin army, and knowing that the Qin army was brave, he asked, "Why didn't the Qin army attack." ”

Xu Lian thought for a while and replied: "The Qin army does not attack, there are only three explanations. Either that, the Qin army's food and grass have not arrived. Or, or the Qin army doesn't know, we will set up a city here. Either that, the Qin army's siege equipment had not yet arrived, and they did not dare to attack the city. ”

"Brother Xu is right. The Qin army's battle line was too long, too deep in length and depth, and the grain and grass could not keep up. I lost Eryan City, leaving the Qin army with an empty city. The Qin army attacked the two cities, and the siege equipment was all destroyed. Sima Lang said: "The Qin army does not attack the city, it is exactly what Brother Xu said, there is neither grain and grass, nor siege equipment. ”

Xu Lian looked into the distance and said in a solemn tone: "The Qin army took the initiative to retreat three miles and set up camp. I can't kill the Qin army to repay the king's kindness! ”

Gan Duwei said: "General Xu, the Qin army has just arrived, and the foothold is not stable, we will take the initiative to attack, and we will definitely be able to kill the Qin army without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Captain Yu said: "Please give General Xu an order to attack the Qin army and establish military exploits." ”

The other generals also said: "The last general seconded the proposal." ”

Xu Lian saw that all the generals persuaded him to take the initiative to fight, but seeing that Sima Lang didn't say a word, he asked: "Brother Sima and the Qin army have fought, what do you think?" ”

Sima Lang said: "The Qin army is brave and cannot be taken lightly. I fought against the Qin army, and its combat power was strong. We attacked, and we couldn't get a bargain. ”

Xu Lian believed in the other party's judgment and said, "Brother Sima is right, we can't fight with the Qin army. Despise the Qin army, and you will suffer a big loss. Moreover, the Qin army has hundreds of thousands, and we have less than 20,000 troops, so how can we fight with the Qin state. ”

The first general asked, "General Xu, I don't plan to start a war with the Qin State." ”

The generals wanted to establish meritorious deeds, and said in unison: "Please General Xu, give the order to go to war." ”

Xu Lian resisted the generals' voices asking for battle, and beckoned: "Old General Lian, I ordered me to lead the army to garrison Guangwolf City in order to intercept the Qin army. If the Qin army does not attack, I will defend the city. If I can defend the city for a month, I will not live up to the trust of the old general. Ladies and gentlemen, have you forgotten the general order of General Lian. ”

The generals said in unison: "The last general will not dare to forget." ”

"You have not forgotten the orders of the old general, so you must obey the orders of the generals." Xu Lian ordered: "If anyone disobeys the order of General Lian, open the city to fight." Don't blame me, court-martial. ”

The generals said in unison: "Wow." ”

The next day, just after noon, Wang Yu ordered people to beat drums and gather the generals. The generals heard the sound of the drums and came to the marching tent.

Wang Di said to the generals: "Everyone, how should this battle be fought." ”

Wang Ling stepped forward and said loudly: "The last general is willing to lead his headquarters and attack the city strongly. Just a mere light wolf city, how can you stop my hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Great Qin. ”

The generals also followed and shouted, "The last general is willing to follow the five doctors to attack the city." ”

Wang Ji motioned for everyone to sit down and asked, "We have not yet arrived with food and grass, and we have no siege equipment." The Light Wolf City, surrounded by water on three sides, is a natural barrier. The city may not be large, but it is very strong. If we attack strongly, not only will we not be able to capture the Light Wolf City, but we will also bury countless Great Qin soldiers. Ladies and gentlemen, can you fight a battle that you are not sure of? ”

Wang Ling asked, "The general has a strategy to break the city." ”

Wang Yi floated a word and said softly: "Wai." ”

"Wai?" The generals are unknown, you look at me, I look at you.

Wang Yi nodded and said: "We will not attack the Wolf City, but we will also besiege the city with a large army, causing a strong sense of oppression to the Zhao army." The Zhao army has defeated me many times, and when they see me besieging the city, the army's morale must be unstable. As the saying goes, if you want to break this city, you must first mess up its heart. ”

Wang Ling also felt that this strategy was good, and catered to him: "The general is right, our army has not yet arrived with food and grass, and there are no siege equipment. We surround this city, and Zhao Jun will be terrified. Don't dare to fight with us. ”

"Let's surround it with a large army first to deter the Zhao army." Wang Yi said again: "Supplemented by persuasion to surrender, it will disturb the morale of the army." ”

The first general said: "Zhao Shujun's heart is scattered, and he is frightened by us. Light Wolf City, you can get it without fighting. ”

"It is not enough to surround first, and then persuade." Wang Yi fought with Eryancheng, and knew that the combat power of the Zhao army was not weaker than that of Qin. He didn't believe it, so he took the Light Wolf City like this, and said, "We have to wait." ”

Wang Ling asked, "General, what are we waiting for?" ”

"Wait for soldiers and horses, wait for grain and grass, and wait for siege equipment." Wang Ji thought that if he broke through this city, he would be able to start a war with Lian Po, and his eyes surged with war intent, and he said: "Once our soldiers and horses gather, and the grain, grass, and siege equipment arrive, we will attack the city by force." Although the light wolf city is strong, it is surrounded by rivers on three sides. How can they resist my army of hundreds of thousands? ”

Wang Ling bowed down to receive the order, and then led an army of 100,000 to besiege the Light Wolf City.

Xu Lian heard the sound of drums and climbed the city tower, but saw that outside the city, the dust was flying, and the flag covered the sky. Xu Lian saw that the Qin army was coming, and ordered the generals to prepare for the battle.

Wang Ling held his sword and led the Qin army to step neatly on one side, and on the other side there was an earth-shattering sound of shouting and killing.

The soldiers of Zhao State guarding the city were a little frightened when they saw so many Qin troops coming. When the Qin army arrived at the city, there were still a hundred steps away, and then they stopped.

Wang Ling waved his long sword, pointed at the city tower, and shouted: "If there is no surrender, kill you and others." ”

"Down, down, down." The voice of hundreds of thousands of people in the Qin army filled the valley and could not be dissipated for a long time.

Xu Lian was not afraid, and replied: "I'd rather die than surrender." ”

Zhao Jun shouted in unison: "Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall." ”

Wang Ling threatened: "On the day of the city breaking, slaughter and wait, no one will be left." ”

"Kill, kill, kill." The soldiers of the Qin army shouted.

Xu Lian said loudly: "I will not surrender until I die." ”

Xu Lian expressed his attitude, thinking that a big war was inevitable. However, the Qin army only waved its flag and shouted, beating drums to shake the sky, but did not see the Qin army attacking.

Wang Ling stopped the army from shouting, and said, "My general is benevolent and doesn't want to slaughter living beings. General Wu gave you a few days to think about it. As soon as the deadline expires, if you do not wait, it will be a war. ”

Wang Ji besieged the city with a large army to deter the Zhao army, and used the strategy of persuasion to surrender to disrupt the morale of the army. And this siege was twenty days. Seeing that the Zhao army had not surrendered, and that the morale had not wavered, Wang Yu summoned Wang Ling and asked, "Who is General Zhao?" ”

Wang Ling said: "It's Xu Lian." ”

"Xu Lian?" Wang Ji thought about it, but he didn't have a clue, and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Wang Ling said: "It is rumored that his ancestor is Xu Jun. ”

Wang Yi said: "He is a descendant of Xu Jun and has the style of his ancestors. ”

"General, you know his ancestors."

"His ancestor is a powerful general under the command of King Zhao Wuling, how can I not know," Wang Yi sighed a little, and said: "When Zhao attacked Zhongshan and attacked Sanhu in the north, his ancestor Xu Jun made great achievements for King Zhao Wuling. The Xu clan first had Xu Jun, who followed King Wuling of Zhao to conquer Sanhu; Later, Xu Li, who followed Ma Fujun and defeated my Qin army; Xu Lian has the style of his ancestors. In this case, we can only attack the city by force. ”

While everyone was talking, a soldier saluted and said, "General, General Meng, ask to see." ”

Wang Yu said, "Please let him in." ”

Meng Fu dressed in military uniform, walked in, and saluted: "The last general, on the order of the King of Qin, led 50,000 soldiers and transported siege equipment to come to help." ”

Seeing that he had finally waited for the siege equipment, Wang Yi laughed and said, "General Meng, you have worked hard. You came at a better time. ”

Meng Fu said in a powerful tone: "General, Meng Fu and the soldiers under his command are at your disposal." ”

"Okay." Seeing that there were reinforcements and siege equipment, Wang Yi ordered: "Everyone, follow me to break through the Light Wolf City and arrive at the Dan River." ”
