When the Qin army entered the city saw that the general was killed, they reacted quickly, drew their long swords and killed the soldiers guarding the gate of the Zhao army, and occupied the city gate to welcome the army into the city. Yinghua saw that the gate of the stone city was wide open, and led 5,000 men and horses to rush over like a fierce tide. When the Yinghua army arrived at the foot of Lishi City, there was a boom and the earth shook. In front of the Qin army, a thousand catties of boulders blocked the gate of the city. On the one hand, the Zhao army used bows and arrows to shoot the Qin army outside the city, and on the other hand, it gathered heavy troops to clear the Qin army that entered the city. Outside the city, Ying Hua heard the screams of the soldiers in the city, and said angrily: "Damn. ”

After clearing the Qin army in the city, Gongsun Yi sat on the ground, staring at the corpses of the enemy who fell in a pool of blood, and his mood could not be calmed for a long time. Sima Wangzu commanded the soldiers on the city tower to repel the Qin army outside the city, walked down the city tower, and came to Gongsun Yidi's side, "General Gongsun, the Qin army outside the city has been repelled by our army. ”

"Okay, this battle is too painful." Gongsun Yi stood up from the ground and said in high spirits: "We have killed a thousand Qin troops and achieved such a great result, it is really a big piece of people's hearts!" ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "How did General Gongsun see through the conspiracy of the Qin people?" ”

Gongsun Yi sorted out the armor on his body and said with a smile: "First, when these soldiers came back, I couldn't see a little joyful atmosphere, but I saw a murderous aura on their faces. Second, General Zhao Zhuang led hundreds of soldiers out of the city, most of whom I knew. These people, all of them are unfamiliar ground holes. Third, the palace guard envoy said that General Zhao Zhuang is good at riding horses and does not like to ride in cars. Fourth, General Lin has a son named Lin Xiangru. I had never met him before, so how could I go to congratulate him on his birthday. I have heard that the child of General Lin is only about fifteen years old. ”

"General Gongsun took the opportunity to test with words, so he knew that these people were fake."

"Not bad." Gongsun Yi said proudly: "Didn't the Qin people want to enter the city? I let them into the city, and I also went to the Ghost Gate. ”

"The Qin people appear here." Sima Wangzu took a breath of cool air, "The army on the bank of the river and Lin Cheng are probably falling to the enemy one after another. General Gongsun had at least 80,000 Qin troops outside the city. The situation is still not in our favor. ”

Gongsun Yi was shocked when he heard this, climbed the city tower, and said worriedly: "There are less than 10,000 stone defenders, and the grain and grass in the city cannot support it for five days." Palace guards, where should we go? ”

"What does General Gongsun propose?"

"If this battle continues, we have no chance of winning, and there will be more casualties." Gongsun Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw the army!" ”

"What General Gongsun said is reasonable. We have no chance of winning this battle. Sima Wangzu looked out of the city, his expression full of tranquility, "Please leave three thousand soldiers for me, and I will strike a hard blow to the Qin army." ”

"Good. I will leave you five thousand soldiers. Gongsun Yi patted Sima Wang's shoulder and asked: "Palace guard, we will meet in Yangyi, you have to come back alive." ”

Ying Hua saw that the soldiers of the Qin army who entered the city were slaughtered by the Zhao army, and the army he led was blocked by the boulders and could not enter, listening to the screams of the soldiers in the city, he was anxious. This battle was the most aggrieved he had fought since the war. Yinghua took the initiative to ask for battle: "Please give the general the order to attack the city." Yinghua is willing to be a pioneer and go to capture Lishi. Avenge my tragic death. ”

The generals of the Qin State said in unison: "Please give the general the order to attack the city." ”

Winning the disease was also angry, and said angrily: "Okay, let's attack the city overnight to avenge the dead soldiers." ”

Outside the city, the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded again.

"All the soldiers are ready, the Qin people are here." Sima Wangzu waited until the Qin army entered the firing range, and waved his big hand forward, "Release the arrow." ”

In order to take revenge, Ying Hua disregarded his own safety and personally stepped forward to command the Qin army to shoot at close range with Zhao Jun. The Qin and Zhao armies used arrows to attack and kill from a distance. The two sides fought for two hours, and the order to retreat came from the Qin camp. Yinghua was unwilling to withdraw the army, and broke into the main army's tent with a helmet in one hand, and said with anger reflected in his eyes: "Why do you want to retreat." ”

"Yinghua, don't be presumptuous."

Yinghua's chest rose and fell violently, and he said indignantly: "If I don't capture Lishi tonight and slaughter the Zhao army, how can I be worthy of the dead Great Qin soldiers." ”

Win said: "As a general, how can you lose your mind because of a small defeat." ”

"Small defeat." Yinghua laughed miserably: "The corpses of a thousand soldiers are still in the city, so we don't care?" If we don't capture Lishi and slaughter the Zhao army, how can we be worthy of the dead soldiers. ”

"Someone." Seeing that Yinghua's emotions were controlled by anger, Ying Jian lost his mind and "dragged him down." Let him reflect on himself. ”

Yinghua left the big tent with a wave of anger.

The generals pleaded: "General Yinghua is a little anxious, and the main general should be angry." ”

Yinghua spoke against the general. Please see the Lord in Yinghua's distressed soldiers' land and spare him this time. ”

"Please be gracious."

"What are you guys doing?" Ying Ji faced the soldiers and said: "I asked him to go down and calm down and reflect on his mistakes." and not to beat him with a club, nor to kill him. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about Yinghua." Winning waved his hand, motioned for everyone to step forward, and asked, "The land away from the stone is easy to defend and difficult to attack." If there are 30,000 Zhao troops stationed in the city, my 80,000 soldiers will not be able to break through the city. Ladies and gentlemen, what are your good plans for breaking the Stone? ”

"General, the last general thinks that the Zhao army is not well prepared, and we will attack the city overnight and take Lishi in one fell swoop."

"The siege of the city at night is not good for our army." Win the disease and said: "Lishi is condescending, and Zhao Jun occupies a favorable position. We have no siege engines. The army rushed to the bottom of the city, and they could not go up to the city. However, Zhao Jun's arrows can shoot and kill our soldiers. In this siege, we lost 2,000 soldiers. Do you want to continue to attack and let more soldiers die in vain? I think we should wait until after dawn to find out the situation in Lishi City and then make the next plan. ”

Away from the stone city, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is true.

The Zhao army fired ten thousand arrows at the Qin army. The Qin army covered with shields and fired at the Zhao army. The Qin army finally rushed to the city, and there was no means to climb the city. In the face of the tall city tower, the soldiers were also helpless. Seeing that he couldn't attack Shicheng for a long time, he injured many soldiers. Therefore, it is not necessary to readjust the strategy and order the withdrawal of troops. The generals also suffered the loss of Zhao's geographical advantages, and nodded in response.

Ying Ji asked, "Tomorrow's siege equipment should also arrive!" ”

"Back to the general, the siege equipment will arrive at noon."

"Okay." Ying Jixi said: "You go back to rest first, tomorrow when the siege equipment arrives, we are attacking the stone." ”

The next day, the siege equipment of the Qin State arrived. The Qin army launched a strong attack in three directions at the same time, east, west, and south. Thousands of arrows from the Qin army rained down on Lishi City. The Qin army first shot the living forces in the interior of Zhao Guocheng with arrows. Then he commanded the army to attack the city with the help of cloud ladders. After a bloody battle, the Qin army entered the city, and the Zhao State fell from Lishi.

Soon, the news of the defeat of the army on the bank of the Zhao River and the successive fall of Lin Cheng and Lishi spread back to Jinyang. Seeing the fall of Lishi, the lord of Jinyang County hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss how to deal with the Qin army. At this time, Zhao Yong led an army of 50,000 troops into Jinyang.

"What. The army on the bank of the river was defeated, and Lin Cheng and Lishi fell into the hands of the Qin people one after another. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received the news." Zhao Yunshu said: "The Qin State smuggled across the river and attacked Lin Cheng and Lishi. Our army was defeated. If the stone is lost, the military situation in Jinyang is urgent. Please prepare to face the Qin people. Perhaps, Qin Jun is on his way to my Jinyang. ”

Lishi is the gateway to Jinyang. If the stone is lost, Jinyang will be in danger. When everyone heard this, there was a commotion.

"The Qin people are moving so fast." Zhao Yong said: "The widow is rushing day and night, but it's still too late." ”

Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, please make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"Lin Cheng and Lishi were captured by the Qin people." Zhao Yong asked: "Old General Lin Cheng, where is Shi Zhaozhuang now?" ”

Zhao Yunshu shook his head and said he didn't know.

Zhao Yong looked at everyone and asked, "Which of you is willing to stop the Qin army." ”

Zhao Yunshu stepped forward and said, "The minister is willing to go." ”

"Yun Shu, fighting is a man's business."

"Although Yun Shu is a woman, the country is in danger. Yun Shu is willing to wear armor and serve the country. "Zhao Yunshu is so proud that he doesn't lose to any man, "Lin Cheng and Lishi fell, and Yun Shu was mainly responsible." Please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"The ministers are willing to follow the county lord and block the Qin army."

"Good. The lord of Jinyang County is willing to contribute to the country, and the widow agrees. Zhao Yong issued an edict and said: "The county lord of Jinyang listens to the order. ”

"The minister is here."

"The widow takes you as his general and leads 50,000 troops to stop the enemy."

"No."

"The county lord of Jinyang goes first." Zhao Yongzheng said: "The widow is coming later, and he will fight the Qin army with you." ”

"The king is the lord of a country, how can he personally get into danger." Zhao Yunshu said anxiously: "To intercept the Qin army and recover the lost territory, Yunshu is enough." Please focus on the overall situation and sit in Jinyang. ”

"Please put the overall situation first."

"Don't talk more." Zhao Yong said: "The widow has made up his mind. ”

At that moment, Zhao Yong made another deployment, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat, leaving Zhao Yunshu alone. After everyone left, Zhao Yunshu asked, "Your Majesty, what else do you have to explain?" ”

"The Sima Wang clan is leaving the stone." Zhao Yong's tone was full of sadness, "The widow decided to go to the expedition in person and let him explore the way." Who knew that the widow had not yet arrived at Lishi. The stone has fallen. Yun Shu, no matter whether the Sima Wang clan is dead or alive, you have to find him for the widow. ”

The words "Sima Wang's clan is in Lishi" deeply impacted her heart. When Zhao Yunshu heard the bad news, his eyes were full of sadness. So much so that she didn't listen to a word of what Zhao Yong said later. Lishi fell, whether he was still alive.

Zhao Yong muttered to himself: "Sima Wang, you have to give the widow a life." ”

Zhao Yunshu bowed and retired.

Mu Jian asked, "Your Majesty, you will tell Sister Yun Shu about the Sima Wang clan." I'm worried that Sister Yun Shu won't be able to survive. ”

Zhao Yong said: "Don't worry! Yun Shu is not so fragile. She is stronger than we imagined. If I don't tell her, she'll find out sooner or later. I told her just to prepare her. ”

"Your Majesty, Lishi has fallen. Will the Sima Wang clan be..."Mu Jian couldn't say anything anymore when he reached this point.

"No, it won't." Zhao Yong replied: "The Sima Wang clan will be fine. ”

Zhao Yunshu restrained the sadness welling up in his heart, ordered his soldiers and horses, and went to intercept the Qin army. Along the way, the figure of Sima Wang's clan would always appear in the depths of her mind. Zhao Yun said comfortably: "Sima Wang, wait for me, you have to give me a good life." ”
