Zhao Yong adopted Le Yi's strategy, took advantage of the iron cavalry, changed the tactics of flattening and besieging the city, and launched an all-round war against Zhongshan. In the face of Zhao Guoxin's offensive, Zhongshan will inevitably have a situation where the beginning and the end cannot be taken into account, and it will be a mess. The defense line in the southern part of Zhongshan will be loosened and flaws will be leaked. Zhao Guotie rode to take advantage of the situation.

Zhao Junyong led the left army with Zhao Yuan as the general, and attacked Ningyi, Zhaoyi, Jinyi, Xiaquyang, Fei and other places in Zhongshan Province to the east. With Xu Jun as the general, he led the right army and attacked Fang, Shangyuan, Shicheng and other places to the west. With Prince Zhang as the general and Sima Wangzu as the deputy general, he led the Chinese army and attacked Gaoyi and the Great Wall head-on. Zhao Yuan and Xu Jun led the troops away. Le Yi also acted according to the plan, leading the iron cavalry to attack the weak area of the Great Wall. Subsequently, he gave full play to the advantages of the iron cavalry, interspersed with roundabouts, and attacked the Zhongshan army.

Zhao Yong, Fei Yi and Tian Buli sat in the Chinese army, planned the war of the whole army.

Prince Zhang and Sima Wangzu led the Chinese army, put on a powerful formation, and waved their flags and shouted, pretending to be an attack of the army, so as to confuse the defenders of the Great Wall of Zhongshan. On the other hand, with the advantage of a good bow and a strong crossbow, he suppressed and shot the living forces of the Zhongshan army. Seeing this, Zhang Tuo and Zhang Ruo, the guards of Zhongshan, provoked: "If there is a kind of you, you will attack the city." ”

Seeing that the enemy general was too arrogant, Sima Wang took a big bow and shot two arrows. The arrow hit the deputy generals next to Zhang Tuo and Zhang Ruo. Seeing this, Zhao Jun shouted in unison.

Prince Zhang high-fived and said, "Uncle Sima is good at archery, you will teach me archery in the future." ”

Sima Wangzu said: "The prince is willing to learn, and I will teach him." ”

Prince Zhang Xi said: "Uncle Sima's gentleman is difficult to chase after him. ”

Zhang Tuo and Zhang Tuo were so frightened by the enemy general's formation and Zhao Guo's dense arrow rain that they didn't dare to raise their heads, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to set up shields to dodge. Zhang Tuo said angrily: "What kind of attack tactic is Zhao Guo. I have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and I have never been so aggrieved today. The Zhao army did not attack the city, but only knew how to release arrows. We were powerless. ”

Zhang Ruo also said angrily: "Yes! I've never been in this situation either. Zhao State, not besieged, nor stormed. This battle was fought too unwillingly. I really want to have a real duel with Zhao Guo. ”

Zhang Tuo said depressedly: "Zhao's arrows are more violent than the thunderstorms of Zhongshan Kingdom, so I don't want to be a range hedgehog." ”

Zhang Ruo asked, "As soon as we looked up, Zhao Guo greeted us with arrows. Zhao Guo's arrows rained non-stop, and we didn't dare to raise our heads, let alone fight. This battle is too embarrassing for the identity of a man. ”

Zhang Tuo wrinkled his nose and said, "Do you feel anything wrong?" ”

Zhang Ruo asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tuo replied: "The density of the rain of arrows shot from Zhao State, and the shouts of Zhao State, it seems that the number of Zhao troops is much less. ”

Zhang Ruodao: "Could it be that the Zhao army divided his troops to attack me." How we should respond. ”

"The garrisons of Gaoyi and the Great Wall add up to less than 10,000." Zhang Tuo shrugged helplessly, "The Zhao army we are facing is at least 150,000. Even if the Zhao State divides its troops to attack our other places, the Zhao army here also has tens of thousands. Now we are suppressed by the rain of arrows from Zhao Guo, and we can't advance or retreat. Until now, there is only one destiny. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard that Zhao Jun's camp was quiet, and the rain of arrows stopped. Zhang Tuo thought that Zhao was going to attack, so he reacted first, shouting: "Zhao is about to attack the city, and the whole army is ready to counterattack." ”

Zhang Ruo looked at the position of the Zhao army, but did not see any signs of the Zhao people attacking the city, and asked, "Why is the Zhao State still not attacking the city." ”

Zhang Tuo also wondered: "What kind of tactic is Zhao Guo, it really makes people feel uncomfortable to fight." ”

Zhang Ruo teased: "If the Zhao army doesn't attack us, are you waiting for something." ”

At this moment, Zhang Tuo and Zhang Ruo heard a shout of killing from the north. Zhang Ruo looked in the direction of the north, the dust was flying, and a large group of cavalry rushed to attack and shouted, "Cavalry." It's our cavalry. ”

When the defenders of Zhongshan heard this, they cheered in unison.

The cavalry arrived at the pass of the Great Wall and shot the defenders of Zhongshan with bows and arrows. Zhang Ruoti scolded: "You are blind, how can you beat your own people." ”

Zhang Tuo saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "This cavalry is not ours. They are Zhao people. ”

"Zhao Ren." Zhang Ruo was stunned for a moment and said, "How could they come from the north." ”

Zhang Tuo insulted: "The Zhao people are cunning and don't dare to fight with us in a dignified manner. The Zhao people divided their forces and attacked the rest of the Great Wall. Then, a detour goes around our backs. ”

"Fight with Zhao Ren." Zhang Ruo picked up his long sword, led a thousand cavalry, and went to fight.

Sima Wang's clan saw that the Zhongshan army on the Great Wall was in chaos, and the sound of killing was everywhere. Then, an open flame shot into the air, and he said happily: "Prince, Le Yi successfully led the cavalry back to Zhang Ruo and Zhang Tuo. Please give the crown prince an order, and the whole army will attack. ”

Hearing this, Prince Zhang pulled out his sword, waved it forward, and shouted: "Attack." ”

The drums are beating and the trumpets are sounding. The Zhao army launched a fierce attack on Zhongshan with its foot soldiers.

Half an hour later, the defenders of Gaoyi and the Great Wall of Zhongshan collapsed on all fronts under the siege of Zhao's infantry and cavalry. The Zhongshan infantry and chariots, under the impact of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry, were in chaos. Zhang Ruo deserved to be a fierce general, killed more than a dozen Zhao Jun, fought with Le Yi for three rounds, and was cut off his horse with a knife.

Zhang Tuo saw that all the passes of the Great Wall had been broken, and the Zhao army outside the city flocked to it. The Zhao Guotie cavalry in the city was invincible, and no one could stop it. Zhang Tuo was unwilling to give up his life, so he took a hundred horsemen to break out of the encirclement and flee north. fell into the formation of the prince Zhang and was finally captured.

Zhongshan can fortify along the Huaishui coast to resist the invasion of Zhao. In the first war last year, Zhao State recovered Juancheng, and Huaishui lost its meaning. Ji Xin saw that he could not use Juancheng and Huaishui to resist the Zhao army. The Zhao army could attack the territory of Zhongshan at any time. In order to change the passive situation, Ji Xin had to strengthen the Great Wall and Gaoyi.

Ji Xin took advantage of the dangerous terrain around Gaoyi and the Great Wall to build a defensive line, crisscrossing hundreds of miles from east to west, in a vain attempt to intercept the Zhao people. However, Le Yi took advantage of the cavalry's surprise and combat advantages to find the weak points of the Great Wall and break the gaps in the Great Wall. Subsequently, Le Yi used the tactics of striking east and west, and attacked from behind. The Great Wall and Gaoyi also lost their defensive role.

In less than a day, Zhao conquered Gaoyi and along the Great Wall of Zhongshan. Zhao Yong was overjoyed when he saw this and said: "Le Yi, worthy of being a descendant of a famous general, is brave and strategic. ”

Prince Zhang, Sima Wangzu and Le Yi cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city, greeted Zhao Yong and others, and said in unison: "Ten thousand blessings to you." ”

Zhao Yong saw Le Yi, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Le Yi, the widow really didn't misunderstand you." ”

Le Yi bowed down and replied: "There is no trust from the king, there is no iron cavalry of the palace guards, and there are no soldiers who use their lives. Nor can the counsellor's plan be realized. ”

"Okay." Zhao Junyong praised: "Meritorious but not monopolistic, he is a good general." The widow believes that in time you will be able to command a hundred thousand troops. Le Yi, you have a lot to do! ”

Le Yi listened to the meaning of Zhao Jun's words, and in the future, he would vigorously cultivate himself. Being able to get Zhao Jun's appreciation and recognition, Le Yi arched his hand and said: "Xie Jun raises love." ”

Sima Wangzu also smiled and said: "Le Yi, I am most relieved to hand over the iron horse to you." ”

Le Yi said: "Thank you to the palace guard." ”

Fei Yi coughed and reminded: "Le Yi, you don't know something. Because the Sima Wang clan crossed the river in the west with the king, attacked Linhu in the north, captured the king of Linhu alive, and established a great achievement. The monarch enshrined Sima Wang as the general of Yunzhong. ”

Le Yi hurriedly said: "The minister's words are offensive, and he also asks General Yunzhong to surrender." ”

Sima Wang's temperament said cheerfully: "Le Yi, don't be polite." ”

Fei Yi and Tian Buli said in unison: "Congratulations to your lord, you have broken through the defense line of the Great Wall of Zhongshan Kingdom, and you are happy to have a good general." ”

Prince Zhang also said: "Congratulations to the monarch, I am happy to be a good general." ”

Zhao Yong nodded at Prince Zhang with appreciative eyes, "Zhang'er, it's good." Your performance just now, the monarch saw it in his eyes. ”

Sima Wangzu also said: "The prince also said that he would not lead the troops. He attacked the city just now, calmly commanded the soldiers to form a formation, not only killed hundreds of Zhongshan troops, but also captured the enemy generals alive. Prince, your courage will not diminish the king's year. If there is a father, there will be a son! ”

Prince Zhang said humbly: "Uncle Sima, don't praise me. I was also lucky enough to stumble into it. ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Prince, don't be modest. ”

Zhao Yong praised the prince Zhang a few words and shouted: "Bring the enemy generals up." ”

Two soldiers tied up Zhongshan and escorted him up. Nakayama stuffed something in his mouth, whining and howling in his mouth, and was greatly dissatisfied. Zhao Yong shouted: "Let him go." ”

"Whoa." The two soldiers bowed down to receive the order.

Zhao Yong asked, "What's your name?" ”

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, my name is Zhang Tuo." The enemy general of Zhongshan shouted angrily: "Do you dare to let me go and fight with me again." ”

"If a widow can catch you once, he can catch you a second time." Zhao Yong said coldly: "I will let you go today, you go back to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and fight with us again." The widow will convince you. ”

Zhang Tuo saw the person in front of him, majestic, not angry, and asked, "You are Zhao Jun." ”

Fei Yi shouted: "This is Zhao Jun." The man who captured you is the crown prince of our country. ”

When Zhang Tuo heard this, his face hesitated. The two people in front of him, one was the monarch of Zhao State, and the other was the prince of Zhao State. The king and the prince were all involved in the attack. He was captured by the prince of Zhao State. Zhao Jun not only did not kill him, but also deliberately let him go.

Zhang Tuo swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and asked, "Zhao Jun won't kill me." ”

"The widow heard that you are a fierce general, and you can see it today, and your name is well deserved." Zhao Yong said respectfully: "The fierce general should die on the battlefield." Zhang Tuo, let's go! The widow will not kill you. ”

Zhang Tuo hesitated for a moment, and saw that Zhao Jun really had no intention of killing him, so he left quickly.

"We broke through the Great Wall of Zhongshan Kingdom, Gaoyi, and the results were outstanding. But there is still some way to go from the strategy we have developed. Zhao Yong asked: "Le Yi, how should I fight next." ”

"Your Majesty, please look." An aggressive idea welled up in Le Yi's mind, opened a map with both hands, and replied: "After the Great Wall, the southern frontier of Zhongshan Country is a flat river, and there is no danger to defend. Zhongshan Kingdom would not believe that we would break through the Great Wall in such a short time. Chen believes that until Zhongshan does not react, we will continue to go north. Attack Yuanyi, Fenglong, go down to Dongyuan, and point to Lingshou. ”

Fei Yi pondered for a moment and also supported: "Dongyuan is located on the south bank of the Hutuo River, and it is also an important military town in Zhongshan State. When Wang Zi of Zhongshan learned that the Great Wall had been broken, he would definitely send additional troops to garrison Dongyuan and fight a decisive battle with us. We must conquer Dongyuan before Zhongshan has yet to react. ”

"Dongyuan, located on the south bank of the Hutuo River. It is also an important military town blocking our northward movement. Higashigaki must be fought. Tian Buli paused, and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are fast, and time is not waiting for me." ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Okay." We will break the Great Wall, hit Yuanyi, occupy the Fenglong, go down to the East Wall, and point to Lingshou with our swords. ”
