Two hundred and two: The battlefield of annihilation (forty-eight) New hope! Pick up Zhao Jia
Liu Xiang saw Lu Lian, Wei Ye, and Han Chao rushing up, fearing that they would be disadvantaged, and immediately ordered Lu Yi and Liu Xi to follow closely with three thousand soldiers in the North Camp.
Lu Lian rushed forward and met Du Yuan after a few steps, and the two fought until ten rounds, Du Yuan couldn't resist and turned the horse's head to escape, Lu Lian caught up with a knife and slashed Du Yuan's back and cut him under the horse.
Wei Ye couldn't lift his spear when Meng Dan stabbed him, Meng Dan twisted his hands hard but couldn't break free from the blade of the Qingyan Knife, but he didn't expect to fall off the horse with too much force.
Zheng Wei saw that Du Yuan was beheaded by Meng Dan and couldn't resist it, so he held down and pulled out the longbow and shot an arrow at Wei Ye, Wei Ye caught Meng Dan at the moment when the feather arrow flew, and Meng Dan fell to the ground with an arrow and was stabbed by Wei Ye.
Seeing that Lu Lian and Wei Ye were so brave, the army behind them also rushed over, Zheng Wei knew that he was definitely not the opponent of the Beiying army and horses, so he led the army to retreat to the city gate, and the army retreated into the city and closed the city gate.
The arrows on the city shot down the rolling wood and cannons like rain, and Liu Xiang said when he saw this: "The matter has come to this point, so it can only be hard."
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to set up a ladder to attack the city, and then Cao Yue rushed to the generals and said: "The big thing is not good, Guo Kai's cronies Deng Mao, Lu Tong, Jiang Qi and the three have taken over and controlled the three battalions in the east, west and south, and now all the soldiers and horses of these three military camps are outflanking our army, and it will be too late for the general to retreat."
"Damn, retreat, now there is no way into heaven and no door to the earth, where else can we retreat."
Seeing Liu Xiang's helplessness, Jiang Chen said: "It seems that King Zhao is really mediocre, and he doesn't think so, after listening to Guo Kai's slanderous rumors, since he is so unjust, we shouldn't have too much hope for him, and now lead the whole army to evacuate here and join other countries."
"I don't agree with what you said, but for now we have to retreat."
Saying that, Liu Xiang ordered the whole army to retreat to the west, and the soldiers and horses of the third battalion did not chase after seeing the retreat of the whole army in the northern camp, and still performed their duties and stationed outside the city.
Handan Wangcheng Palace
At this time, although King Zhao was still sitting on the dragon chair in the entire hall, there were only five people left in the hall: Guo Kai, Yan Ju, Zhao Jia, Zhao Lun, and Zhao Hu.
Guo Kai approached and said: "King, Liu Xiang and the rebels of the northern camp have been repulsed, and the soldiers and horses of the three battalions in the east, west and south are in our hands, but at present, the hearts of the troops in the city are shaken, and the people are panicked, it is indeed not suitable for fighting, once the people of the city and the ancestral temple are swallowed up by the flames of war, then we will become the sinners of the Zhao State through the ages, it is better to surrender to the Qin army."
"No, our army still has 50,000 soldiers and grain and grass that can support a year, the city wall of Handan is strong and thick and protected by a moat, we can fight without surrendering directly" After speaking, Zhao Jia said to Guo Kai again: "Liu Xiang I am familiar with this person and absolutely have no rebellious heart, I don't know why the defenders in the city will raid the soldiers and horses of the north camp, and I don't know why the three battalions of the east, west and south want to attack the north camp, it may be that Liu Xiang thought that there was a change in the city and was worried about the safety of the king, so he ordered the siege of the city, Isn't it possible that all of this was arranged by the prime minister?"
"Liu Xiang has no intention of rebellion, he knows in his own heart, let's not speculate, what happened just now, Liu Xiang attacked the city first, so that the defenders of the city counterattacked and the other three battalions attacked them."
Before Guo Kai's words fell, he saw Deng Mao running into the hall covered in blood, and said: "Big and big things are not good, Wang Jian led a large army to raid the three camps of our army, east, west and south, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they were almost unable to support it."
Before he finished speaking, Adjutant General Jiang Qi ran into the hall and said: "King, the three battalions of soldiers and horses outside the city fought with the Qin army for a short time, and the whole army was wiped out, the Qin army has broken through the south gate and entered the residential area, they burned down the houses, and when they encountered the Zhao people, both the army and the people were killed, not only that, but many shops and pawnshops were all washed away."
Zhao Lun said angrily: "The bold Qin dog dares to be so presumptuous, and even the people are not spared, I will lead the troops to teach them a lesson."
After hearing this, King Zhao shook his head and walked out of the main hall, seeing the bleak scene in the royal city corresponding to the prosperity of the past, and looking up at the banner of Zhao Guo that was still fluttering in the wind under the sunset and the sunset.
Seeing all this in front of him, King Zhao turned around, and said in a somewhat strained voice: "There is no need to fight anymore, the Qin army is tyrannical and has caused countless deaths and injuries to innocent people in my city, and it will not be long before the entire Handan will be turned into a scorched earth, and it is impossible for the widow to let the foundation created by generations of previous kings be destroyed in our hands."
Then King Zhao turned around and said to the civil and military beside him: "Prime Minister Lao Guo Cheng presented the table of surrender, treasure seal and detailed atlas of Zhao Guo for the widow, Yan Ju arranged for the handover of the whole army of soldiers and soldiers, go down and prepare, as soon as possible to avoid the Qin army from hurting the innocent again, Jia Di, Zhao Lun, and Zhao Hu left me with other instructions."
Guo Kai hurriedly said: "The king is wise to be wise, the people of Handan will thank you, and history will remember you."
After that, Guo Kai led Yan Ju to retreat and prepare, King Zhao saw that the two of them were far away, and whispered to Zhao Jia: "Although Zhao is dead, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the north of Daidi, and there are generals Zhang Enming and others to resist the Qin army, and my brother can quickly flee Handan to Daidi, I have sent someone to contact Liu Xiang, he is now near Xishan, and will come to help soon, Zhao Lun, Zhao Hu and Jing Yang led the Wangcheng Forbidden Army and the soldiers and horses I gave you can reach more than 10,000 people, there will be difficulties and dangers along the way, if you successfully arrive, you can be called king in Daidi and continue to resist Qin."
"My brother was willing to fight to the death with Brother Wang, but now the situation has become irreversible, and my brother will reach Daidi even though he has gone through many difficulties and dangers, and he will swear to fight Qin to the death with Daidi."
After saying that, Zhao Jia saluted King Zhao, then walked out of the main hall with Zhao Lun and Zhao Hu and came to the left camp of the forbidden army.
A Zhao army to the west of Handan is rushing towards Handan, which is the soldiers and horses of the northern camp led by Liu Xiang.
Walking on the road, Liu Xiang said to Jiang Chen: "How can you be so sure that this request for help is a letter written by King Zhao, what if it is forged by Guo Kai again."
"Don't worry, big brother, I intuitively speculate that this time is absolutely true, we can welcome Guo Kai's men and horses out of the city from the south gate."
Liu Xiang didn't say anything more when he saw the confidence on Jiang Chen's face, and ordered the whole army to speed up.
The soldiers and horses of the northern battalion quickly rushed to the south gate of Handan, the south gate has not been conquered by the Qin army, the defenders are dying of the low-grade Qin army, and the Qin army is also charging round after round, and the Qin general who attacked the city is Li Xin.
Wang Peng was wounded and was taken to neighboring Wu'an for treatment and recuperation, Wang Jian appointed Li Xin to lead this army, gave Li Xin 10,000 horses to lead him with the remnants, and also to make meritorious service Li Xin led the army to attack the south gate of Handan, where the defense was the weakest.
Liu Xiang's army crept in from behind the Qin army......
