Chapter 278: Zhao Tieqi vs. Zhongshan Hercules
Zhao Yong rode a war horse and stood at the front of the north gate of Zhongshan Kingdom, motionless as a mountain. This battle will be the last battle between him and Zhongshan Wangzi. The terrain of Lingshou City is dangerous and impregnable. This battle will be extremely tragic. Zhao Yong besieged the north gate with 40,000 soldiers in order to give the Zhongshan army a strong sense of oppression. Once, the Zhongshan army at the north gate could not bear this sense of oppression, and there would be a feeling of cowardice in their hearts. If the north gate is forced, the Zhongshan army will be in a mess and crushed for thousands of miles. Zhao Guo can take advantage of the situation, break through Lingshou, and level Zhongshan.
Zhao Yong is the king of a country, so he must take the lead, boost morale, and arouse the courage of the generals.
Zhao Yong drew his long sword and shouted, "Siege." ”
Facing the offensive of the Zhao army like a huge wave. The hearts of the Zhongshan army were shaken, and before the Zhao army could reach the range of the arrows, the arrows of the Zhongshan army were shot. Facing the rain of arrows from the Zhongshan army, Sima Wangzu calmly commanded the crossbowmen of Zhao State, and fought back with several times the momentum. The sound of arrow rain, like a violent storm, swept through the Zhongshan City Tower. Zhao Guo's arrows are not only dense, but also highly accurate. I saw that the soldiers on the north gate of Zhongshan Kingdom were hit by arrows and fell from the city tower.
The Zhongshan army defending the city could not be lifted in the face of the offensive of Zhao State's arrow rain, and the momentum of uniting as one and hating the enemy was suddenly folded a few points.
The Sima Wang clan used the majestic formation of the rain of arrows to suppress the Zhongshan army and control the initiative on the battlefield. In the cheers of Zhao Guo, the Zhongshan army was in chaos, and they did not dare to return fire with arrows. Zhao Jun took advantage of the situation and moved forward. Just as the Zhao army was approaching the city, the Zhongshan army guard shouted: "Zhao has heard the rain of arrows, don't mess up." Give me a shot back. ”
Zhongshanjun's panicked expression was stabilized. Relying on the fortification of the city, he was condescending and shot arrows at the Zhao army. Wave after wave of the Zhao army fell into the arrows of the Zhongshan army. Seeing this, Sima Wangzu beat the drum to summon the besieging soldiers back and rested briefly. On the other hand, with the advantage of a good bow and crossbow, it does not give the Zhongshan army a chance to kick.
The news of Zhao's siege reached Zhongshan Palace. When Zhongshan Wang Zi heard this, his face turned pale, and he quickly dispatched generals to meet the offensive of the Zhao army. Wang Zi of Zhongshan stood at the highest place in the palace, and saw that the black pressure outside the city was overwhelming a Zhao army, attacking the city on all sides. Zhongshan Wang Zi took a breath of cold air and shouted angrily: "Will Zhao Jun come in?" ”
When the ministers heard this, they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet the trembling and murderous eyes of Zhongshan Wangzi.
Seeing this, Zhongshan Wang Zi roared angrily: "When the country is in danger, what countermeasures do you have. ”
Sima Xi said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 people outside the city, and Zhao Jun personally led the troops to attack the city. Zhao Guo's soldiers are strong and their morale is high, and we are not Zhao Gu's opponents. We might as well sue for peace with Zhao. ”
"Is that what you all mean?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhongshan Wang Zi muttered to himself: "We ask Zhao Guo for peace, will Zhao Jun agree?" ”
Sima Xi saw that Zhongshan Wang Zi was so frightened by Zhao Guo that he didn't have the courage of a king, and a look of disdain instantly slipped across his cheeks, "Now that it's happened, do we have any other better way?" ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi muttered to himself: "Hasn't the division of King Qin arrived yet?" ”
Tian Jian was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, we won't have reinforcements. ”
Yin Jian Gong trembled and said: "We are trapped in a lonely city, and there are no reinforcements. Continue to fight, Zhao Guo broke through Lingshou... Zhao Jun came in, will they... Kill us. ”
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." The king of Zhongshan shouted angrily, trying his best to maintain his royal demeanor, "Lingshou City is impregnable, and it is guarded by tens of thousands of elite soldiers. How could the Zhao army be able to attack it. The widow believed that the soldiers who defended the city, and also believed that the army of King Qin would also come. ”
As soon as Zhongshan Wangzi's words fell, the hall fell into a deathly silence. At this time, the Zhao army launched a strong offensive again, and the shouts of killing became even more harsh.
Tian Jian said timidly: "Your Majesty, there will really be a teacher of King Qin." Can the soldiers in the city withstand the repeated attacks of the Zhao army? The city gate was breached by Zhao Jun, and the palace gate was our last line of defense. Once the palace gate is forced, we will..."
Gongzi Sheng shouted: "What are you afraid of." The Zhao army broke through the city gate, broke through the palace gate, and we still have the palace gate. Even if the palace gate is broken, we must use our own flesh and blood to defend the honor belonging to Zhongshan Kingdom. The king is also flesh and blood, and the son of the first king. With a sword in his hand, the king will definitely lead us to fight the Zhao army in a bloody battle, and live up to the legacy of our ancestors. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi was said by Gongzi Shang, passionate and belligerent. Zhongshan Wang Zi grabbed the sword, the sword body was off the scabbard, and said sharply: "The widow is here, and the Zhongshan Kingdom is here." ”
Gongzi Shang saw that the familiar king was back, and said with a straight face: "King, let's fight!" For the honor of the ancestors and the face of the king. We will fight with Zhao to the end. If you don't break the Zhao country, you will never make peace. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi stabilized his thoughts and raised his voice: "Zhao Guo is too deceitful, and we will fight with it." Those who dare to speak up for peace, kill. ”
Suddenly, the shouts of killing outside the city gradually subsided. A soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, Zhao has suspended its attack. ”
"Zhao has stopped attacking." Zhongshan Wang Zi asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Just when Zhongshan Palace was in chaos. The Zhao army and the Zhongshan army engaged in several desperate battles. Every time the Zhao army attacked, it was repulsed by the defenders of Zhongshan. The Zhongshan army relied on the fortification and condescension of the city to inflict heavy losses on the Zhao army. In this battle, the Zhao army lost 5,000 soldiers. The guard of the north gate of Zhongshan broke Zhao Jun and shouted: "Long live the Zhongshan Kingdom." ”
The Zhongshan army cheered in unison, and the panic that permeated the Zhongshan army's heart gradually dissipated.
Seeing that the Zhao army was defeated, Wuqiu Lu, the guard of the north gate of Zhongshan, shouted angrily: "Just Zhao people, An dare to be so unsightly." At that moment, a bold idea emerged in the depths of Wuqiu Yu's mind, that is, to open the city gate and fight a decisive battle with Zhao State.
Everyone hurriedly said: "General, Zhao is powerful, how can we open the city to meet the enemy." ”
Wuqiu said angrily: "We are cowering in the city, allowing the Zhao people to trample on our territory. Husband, how can you endure it? Those who are not afraid of death will follow me out of the city and start a war with the Zhao people. We must use the blood of the Zhao people to defend our honor and dignity. The Zhongshan boy would rather die in battle than take away the ambition of the man. The Zhao people can besiege the city and attack me, and we can also go out of the city to annihilate the Zhao people. Even if we die on the battlefield, we will still be a good man twenty years later. ”
The Sima Wang clan was worried that the North Gate would not be able to be attacked for a long time, and they themselves had lost 5,000 soldiers. This is the first time since the start of the war that the morale of the Zhao army has been severely hit. Sima Wang, Zhao Jue and the others were discussing how to break through the gate and defend their honor. Suddenly, the north gate of Zhongshan Kingdom opened, and 30,000 soldiers poured out of the city.
Sima Wangzu said in his heart: "What is the Zhongshan Army going to do. It's hard to want to compete with us. ”
Zhao Jue said with a smile: "General Yunzhong, the Zhongshan army went out of the city to meet the battle, this is exactly what we want." ”
Prince Zhang asked, "Uncle Sima, how should we fight this battle?" ”
Sima Wangzu replied: "Zhongshan is at a disadvantage, and it dares to open the city to meet it. The bloodiness of Zhongshan people is indeed admirable. In this battle, we must not be careless. ”
Zhao Jue said contemptuously: "General Yunzhong, don't worry too much. This is the case of Zhongshan people, who brought about their own destruction. ”
Sima Wangzu hurriedly said: "This is a trapped beast, we must not be careless." The crown prince stayed in the formation, and Zhao Jue and I went to meet this Zhongshan army. ”
Wuqiu Lulu lined up in formation, drove the chariot forward and shouted angrily: "I am the guard general of Zhongshan Kingdom, Wuqiu Lu." Whoever is the enemy general, report his name. ”
Sima Wangzu saw that the comer was wearing heavy armor and holding a huge iron staff. The strength of the iron rod weighs at least 100 catties. The soldiers behind the man were also wielding heavy subway sticks. These people do not seem to be soldiers, but a group of demons appear in the world.
Sima Wangzu drove forward and raised his voice: "I am a junior general of Zhao State, and Sima Wangzu is also." ”
When Wuqiu heard this, things were lost, and it was a young general of Zhao who was fighting against him. He originally thought that he would meet the generals of Zhao State in the battle of Kaecheng. If he kills the enemy general, he will definitely become famous and become an immortal general who can turn the tide in the Zhongshan Kingdom. Wu Qiu said impatiently: "I won't kill the unknown young general, go and change to a big future who can fight." ”
Sima Wangzu said contemptuously: "To deal with you, I am enough to be a young general." ”
Wu Qiu laughed and said, "Don't be ashamed to say it. Today I will take your life. ”
In this battle, Zhao Guotieqi and Zhongshan Huren Hercules battled. There is a truly strange phenomenon on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom wore heavy iron armor and rode in huge chariots. They are dressed like Chinese people. However, the soldiers of Zhao State wore light armor, rode war horses, and dressed like Hu people.
Zhao Guo's iron cavalry is an iron cavalry tempered since Zhao Yong's implementation of Hufu cavalry shooting. Zhao Yong passed this iron cavalry and attacked Zhongshan five times without being defeated. Zhao Yong is because of this iron cavalry, Zhao State attacked Zhongshan, not using rigid flat push and siege tactics, but using the mobility and agility of the iron cavalry, interspersed with roundabouts, penetrating the enemy formation, and attacking the east and west, so that the enemy could not be guarded. Zhao used iron cavalry to capture one city after another in Zhongshan Kingdom.
This Hu people's strong men are the product of Zhongshan since Confucianism ruled the country, and it is also the last secret weapon of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Sima Wangzu pulled out his sword and shouted, "Go to war." ”
Wuqiu also said: "Fight." ”
