Chapter 294: Pull the bow and shoot the wolf
King Lou Fu led his generals to the south, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and he was not met with fierce resistance from the Zhao people. When Lin Huren saw it, he wondered in his heart, "A few years later, Zhao Ren is really so vulnerable." ”
Lin Hu took the lead in going south when he saw that Lou was annoying, plundering a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he couldn't hold back his heart, "Your Majesty, we can't be cheap Lou annoying." ”
Prince Linhu rode his horse and said, "Father, what should we do?" ”
Seeing that the Zhao people didn't even have the courage to resist, King Lin Hu misjudged the situation and ordered: "It's time to get back the dignity and honor we have lost." We Linhu are the kings of the grassland. ”
King Lin Hu decided to attack Zhao and ordered his troops to chase upstairs to annoyance. King Lou Fu saw King Lin Hu and sneered: "King Lin Hu said that I will take the lead in the warriors of Lou Fu, what do you mean by this." ”
King Lin Hu smiled and said, "Lin Hu and Lou Fu formed an alliance to attack Zhao, how could they let King Lou Fu take the lead." ”
King Lou Fu asked contemptuously, "King Lin Hu is not afraid of being defeated by the Zhao people again. ”
King Lin Hu said: "Prairie man, how can you be afraid of the Zhao people." It's time for me to regain the dignity of a prairie boy. ”
Seeing that the familiar King Lin Hu had returned, King Lou Fu said coldly: "I am willing to help you with the dignity that King Lin Hu has lost." ”
King Lin Hu and King Lou Fu led their armies south and arrived at the city of Zhao Dynasty. In front of King Linhu and King Lou Fu, a city with a large scale, a city several feet high, and surrounded by a large river appeared. King Lin Hu did not share a border with the Zhao Kingdom, so he was naturally attracted by the city in front of him, and exclaimed: "There is such a city in the north of the Zhao Kingdom. King Lou Fu, this city can have a name. ”
Lou Fu and Zhao State border. The items needed by the building were also purchased in this city. King Lou Fu pointed to the city in front of him and said, "This city is called Daicheng." It is the richest place in the north of Zhao State. The gold and silver treasures in the city are innumerable, and beautiful women can be seen everywhere. In this city, there is nothing you want. ”
King Lin Hu said: "Daicheng is already so desirable, how can Handan of Zhao Kingdom be even more mysterious." ”
King Lou Fu snorted coldly, and ridiculed King Lin Hu for not seeing the world, but King Lin Hu's expression was what he wanted to see the most. King Lou Fu pulled out his sword, sent it forward, and shouted: "Lou Fu warrior, the front is Daicheng." When the city is broken, the beauties and treasures in it will be yours. ”
Lou annoyed the warriors, pulled out his war knife and shouted wildly.
"The land of the Central Plains has always been a place we yearn for. Today, we will break through the city of Daicheng and enjoy the beauty, treasure, wine, and food of the Central Plains. King Lin Hu also drew his sword and shouted, "Today is also the day when we regain the honor and dignity we have lost. Attacking the Zhao people, the shame of the past. ”
Warrior Linhu let out a wolf howl from his mouth.
Breaking through Daicheng requires Lin Hu and Lou Fu to work together. King Lin Hu and King Lou Fu naturally didn't have a gap in their hearts, and the two of them said in unison: "Attack." ”
Daijo used to be the capital of Daikoku. Zhao Xiangzi struck the dynasty, and the country became a county of the Zhao family. Due to the Daicheng, there are many mountains around it, and the terrain is steep, and the city is designed to be built according to the topography and is oval-shaped. Daicheng is the largest city in the north of the Zhao clan. It is also the political, economic and cultural center of exchanges between the Zhao family and the Hu people. The leaders of the Zhao clan in the past dynasties also attached importance to the repair and consolidation of the Dai City. On the basis of the original Daicheng, it continued to expand. The city of generations has been repaired by several generations, and it is impregnable.
Dai County is the northernmost territory of Zhao State, and it is also an important county of Zhao State to defend against the Hu people, and it is also the front position of Zhao State to attack the Hu people. Zhao Xiangzi destroyed the Daiguo, and in order to better manage the Daiguo, he did not use the etiquette system of the Central Plains to restrain them. Rather, it is based on the customs of Daicheng to manage the people of Daidi.
Because of Dai County, Hu Feng prevailed, which was different from Handan. Daijun and Handan represent two cultures. Handan is the wind of the crown belt, and the Hu wind prevails in Daijun. Daijun and Handan, because of the difference between the two cultures. There is a Zhongshan country between the two counties, and the transportation is inconvenient, which makes it difficult to implement the government decree. Han, Zhao, and Wei were divided into Jin, and the Zhao family was the strongest and the territory was the strongest. However, it is precisely because of the inconvenient transportation of Daijun and Handan that the centripetal force and cohesion of Zhao State are not strong. When Handan was in trouble, Daijun could not rush to Handan's aid.
Yan State took advantage of the death of Zhao Su Hou Yong, and the new lord of Zhao State was young and sent troops to attack. Dai County was in a passive position because he could not get Handan's decree in time and the assistance of other counties. If it weren't for Zhao Yong, despite everyone's opposition, he personally led his troops north, repelled the Yan State, and defended the territory. It is possible that the land of Daijun will be out of Handan's control. Zhao Yong defeated the Yan State, and in order to strengthen the management of Daijun, a similarly passive situation appeared. Zhao Yong took Zhao Gu as the acting county and the acting minister, and was responsible for the military and political affairs of the acting county.
The news of Lou Fu and Lin Hu's southward journey had already reached Daicheng. Zhao Gu wore battle armor and personally climbed the city tower to prepare for the battle. At sunset, Lou Fu and Lin Hu appeared in Zhao Gu's sight. Although Zhao Gu knew that Lin Hu and Lou Fu had shot well, he never expected that they would arrive in Daicheng in such a short time.
Zhao Gu took a breath, stabilized his mind, and shouted with a fearless expression: "Prepare to fight." ”
The soldiers of the Zhao army were infected by the mood of the prime minister, and prepared to face the Hu people step by step.
Zhao Gu stood in the city tower, and saw that although the Hu people were numerous, their discipline was scattered, and they didn't even have an offensive formation, and the Hu people let out a piercing scream, overwhelming the sky like a violent wind.
"Look for death." Zhao Gu pulled out his war knife and commanded calmly: "Listen to my orders and prepare to release arrows." ”
The soldiers of Zhao stood on the city tower and saw the Hu people coming overwhelmingly. It was also the first time they had seen so many Hu people heading south, and they were oppressed by the momentum of the Hu people, and they were short of breath. Although they bent their bows and arrows according to the command, their hands trembled slightly. Zhao Gu also sensed the strange atmosphere that permeated the army, but he didn't say anything uplifting to boost morale. Zhao Gu knew in his heart that the best way to improve morale was to defeat the Hu people.
Zhao Gu saw that the Hu people entered the firing range, waved his sword forward, and shouted, "Release the arrow." ”
Zhao Jun fired thousands of arrows, and a dense rain of arrows greeted the Hu people. When the Hu people saw Zhao Jun's arrows, they were faster than the wind on the grassland and heavier than the rain on the grassland. Suddenly, wherever the arrow rain went, the Hu people fell from their horses with arrows. Zhao Jun's arrow rain, one wave just went, and another wave came. Where have Lin Hu people and Lou annoying people seen this kind of scene, and one after another fell in the rain of arrows of Zhao Jun. Even though Lin Hu and Lou Fu escaped the rain of arrows from Zhao State, they came to Daicheng, crossed the moat, and arrived at the city. Because the city was tall and strong, they had no tools to climb the city. Either he was shot by the rain of arrows of the Zhao State, or he was stoned to death by the Zhao army with stones and rolling logs. Although Lin Hu and Lou Fu were powerful in riding and shooting, they could not play any role in the face of Daicheng.
King Lin Hu and King Lou Fu didn't want their warriors to die in vain. The horn of retreat sounded all over the mountains. The attacking warriors of Lin Hu and Lou Fu heard the order to retreat, and they did not like to fight, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. Zhao Gu saw that the Hu people were evacuated from the battlefield in embarrassment, and thousands of corpses were piled up under the city, raised the German war knife in his hand, and shouted: "Kill." ”
Seeing that he had easily shot so many Hu people, Zhao Jun's morale increased greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Kill, kill, kill." ”
Tens of thousands of Zhao troops were like the sound of thunder, piercing the sky and echoing in the ravines, unable to diffuse for a long time.
Niu Jian came to Zhao Gu and said happily: "Acting Prime Minister, this battle is too happy. Our army suffered less than 10 casualties, but it won such a great victory. The Hu people are overwhelming and vulnerable. The minister asked for his life and went out of the city to meet the battle. When we win a big victory, we will definitely be able to kill the Hu people without leaving a single piece of armor. ”
Several more generals responded and said: "Acting prime minister, ministers and others please fight, go out of the city to meet the enemy." ”
"No." Zhao Gu looked at the defeated Hu people, "The Hu people are powerful, and they can't be underestimated." ”
Niu Jian shouted: "I am willing to make a military order, not to break Beihu, and to see me." ”
"I'll wait too."
"Thou shalt not go out of the city to meet the enemy without my orders." Zhao Gu said sharply: "Those who violate the military order will be killed." ”
Niu Jian shouted: "Dai Xiang, the Hu people have just been defeated by us, and it is the best time to pursue them. ”
Zhao Gu turned around and looked at the generals beside him, and said solemnly: "If someone dares to threaten to fight again, cut it." ”
Lin Hu and Lou were newly defeated, and their morale was low. The Zhao army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and it will definitely be able to break the Hu people and recover the territory. Seeing that Zhao Gu did not give the order to go out of the city to fight, the generals were angry, but they did not dare to attack, so they had to act according to the order. Zhao Gu turned around, looked at the corpses of the Hu people under the city, and said in his heart: "The suffering of the Hu people is rampant, I am not weak Hu, Hu will be weak to me." I am weak and cannot settle the situation in one battle, and I must not attack. I don't know if the king's strategy will be successful. ”
Seeing that the Zhao army did not go out of the city to pursue, King Lin Hu and King Lou Fu summoned their generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.
Prince Lou Fu said: "The Zhao people are not as good as us, but the city of Daicheng is tall and the moat is wide. We can't storm this city without siege tools. In this battle, we lost 10,000 troops. If we continue to fight, it will not be good for us. We might as well abandon Daicheng and go south to attack Zhao. ”
Prince Lin Hu shouted: "Prince Lou Fu is afraid of the power of Zhao Guo, so he will say it if he is afraid." ”
The prince of Lou Fu competed with each other: "There is nothing that I am afraid of Lou Fu yet." ”
Prince Lin Hu sneered: "The prince can't capture the city of Dai, and if he wants to escape, isn't he afraid?" ”
"You—" Prince Lou Fu drew his sword, "believe it or not, I killed you." ”
The warrior of Lou Fu drew his sword and pointed at the Lin Hu people.
"If you want to kill me, you don't have the ability to do it." Prince Linhu also drew his sword and shouted, "Today, I will ask you to try the methods of my Linhu people." ”
The warrior Lin Hu also pulled out his sword and pointed at the annoying building.
King Lou Fu shouted: "Presumptuous. ”
Seeing that his father was angry, Prince Lou Fu withdrew his sword from its scabbard and raised his hand back. Lou annoyed the warriors and put away their swords.
King Lou Fu said softly: "King Lin Hu, our enemy is the Zhao people, do we have to fight among ourselves first." ”
"My son is impatient, don't take it to heart to the king of Lou Fu." King Lin Hu said: "Don't put away your weapons quickly." ”
Prince Lin Hu put away his weapon and raised his hand back. The Linhu warriors were given the order and put away their weapons.
King Lou Fu sneered: "You are worthy of being a prairie man. However, you should use this courage not to be afraid of death to deal with the Zhao people. At the moment of the great enemy, you don't know how to work together to meet the Zhao people, think about how to break through Daicheng, but you can do it here for a while. Don't you want the beauties and treasures of Daicheng? ”
"King Lou is right. Our opponent is the Zhao people, how can we kill each other. King Lin Hu shifted his words and asked, "In this battle, we were unfavorable and lost 10,000 grassland boys. This city in front of us is strong, how can we break through it? ”
King Lou Fu thought for a while and replied: "We were defeated by the Zhao people, but the Zhao people did not take advantage of the situation to pursue. It is enough to prove that the Zhao people are afraid of our cavalry, so they dare not go out of the city to meet the battle. They can only hide in the city, and use the strength of the city to defend against us. Since we are better at riding and shooting than the Zhao people, we will find a way to lure the Zhao people out. ”
Prince Lou Fu hurriedly said: "The acting city guard is Zhao Gu." This person can fight well, know the army, and be good at using soldiers. If we want to lure the Zhao army out of the city, I'm afraid we won't succeed. ”
Prince Lin Hu asked: "The city of Dai is impregnable, and the Zhao army does not come out of the city, what should we do?" ”
Prince Lou Fu said: "Because of this, we can't be trapped in Dai City. We should surprise our troops and attack Zhao State Jinyang. ”
Prince Lin Hu shouted: "We have lost more than 10,000 soldiers in Daicheng, so won't we take revenge for this?" ”
King Lin Hu sneered: "The people of the Central Plains ridicule us Hu people, if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run." Now, if we can't capture Daicheng, we will withdraw our troops. Isn't this exactly what the Central Plains people said? ”
"I am not willing to withdraw my troops like this." King Lou Fu said angrily: "If you don't break through this city and slaughter the people in the city, it will be difficult for me to swallow this evil breath in my heart." ”
King Lin Hu said: "Exactly. If we don't break this city, how can we be worthy of the dead steppe warriors. ”
For several days, King Lin Hu and King Lou Fu sent warriors to take turns to insult. Zhao Jun was furious when he heard this.
Zhao Gu was watching the military parade book, and suddenly heard that Niu Jian came with the morale of the generals, "Acting Minister, the Hu people are too rampant, let me go out and teach them a lesson." ”
Zhao Gu closed the troop and said calmly, "No." ”
Niu Jian said angrily: "Hu people really listen to the scolding. I'd rather die in battle than ruin the Zhao family's bones. ”
Zhao Gu asked, "Hu Ren has been scolding for a few days. ”
Niu Jian was stunned for a moment and replied, "Five days." ”
"It's been five days." Zhao Gu pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Hu people scolded me for five days, and they also saw that we didn't fight. They couldn't capture Daicheng for a long time, so they lost patience. They did not attack the city, but fled to the grassland. We're going to run thousands of miles to fight it. Well, it's time to give Hu Ren a little sweetness. Let them know that there is a chance to conquer Daijo. ”
When Niu Jian heard this, he was stunned: "What did the prime minister say." I don't understand. ”
"You want to expel the Hu people and reclaim your territory. You are resentful of my refusal to give me orders not to go to war. Zhao Gu looked at everyone present and said something, "This battle is not only about expelling the Hu people. We must fight a war to eliminate the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang. ”
When Niu Jian heard this, he was even more confused, and hurriedly said: "Prime minister, what are you talking about." Clear the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang. ”
Zhao Gu thought about it and told them the battle plan, "Destroying Zhongshan, expanding Hujiang, and fighting for the world are the national policies formulated by the king." Today, Lin Hu, Lou Fu, and Donghu are going south, and the king has decided to eliminate the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang. In this battle, we must not only defeat Beihu, but also occupy their territory, so that they will not dare to go south to covet the territory of Dazhao for decades. ”
Niu Qian's eyes widened and he shouted: "The king plans to clear the trouble of Beihu." ”
"Zhao Jun ordered me to use Daicheng as bait to lure the Hu people. The First World War cleared the trouble of Beihu. Zhao Gu pondered: "According to the time calculation, my country's iron cavalry should be about to arrive." ”
"Dai Xiang, what's going on."
"I can't tell you a word. You have to remember one thing... Draw your bow and shoot the wolf. ”
Everyone said in unison: "Pull the bow and shoot the wolf." ”
"Before the king leads the iron cavalry to come, we will contain the Hu people in Daicheng." Zhao Gu commanded: "You spread the news out, there is a shortage of grain and grass in Daicheng, and it will run out in a few days." The generals in the city were uneven, and the people were complaining. ”
"As long as I can pull my bow and shoot the wolf." Niu Jian smiled and said, "I can do anything." ”
