The cold wind was howling, and on the pipeline outside the north gate of the beam, King Wei Hui and Wu Ming rode out of the city together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was like a 10,000-strong army of Youlong opening the way in front, and behind Wang Ji were all civil and military officials, all of whom were absent, to show that King Wei Hui valued Wu Ming more in his heart this time.

The whole team was mighty, and after several twists and turns, it was not until the suburb Wang Pu who was five miles away that it slowly stopped.

The door on the king's hand slowly opened at this moment, and King Wei Hui waved his hand outside with a serious face, and the ministers who followed him stopped the entire procession.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

King Wei Hui and Wu Ming successively descended from the king under the service of the eunuchs.

Under the bright sunshine, the cold wind caressed it, and as far as the eye could see, tender emerald green buds had grown on a field. It's a great river and mountain.

"Seeing off thousands of miles is difficult to express the debt and respect for Aiqing in the hearts of the widows, whether our Wei State wants to cede the city and negotiate peace with other countries. Everything can only be up to the general. Turning the fat body, King Wei Hui looked at Wu Ming with great affection, and the words in his mouth were also full of emotion.

"The love of the king, the micro ministers are ashamed, and the ministers should do their best to defend the dignity of our Wei country."

The voice drifted away with the wind.

After a solemn silence, the two monarchs and ministers faced each other at this moment.

The moment he turned over and got on the horse, the cold wind blew the fiery red behind Wu Ming, rippling with the majesty of the general.

watched Wu Ming walk away with the 10,000 soldiers, and the eunuch who served King Wei Hui moved slightly, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, you have already gone far." It's cold outside, and I hope that you will put your body first. ”

……

After losing more than 10,000 troops in the first battle of Gongzi. Zhang Meng rushed to Mucheng overnight with less than 6,000 soldiers, Mucheng was originally a small city, not as good as Fangcheng on the border, and because Mucheng was located in the hinterland of Wei, although there were some reserves of city defense materials in the city, but it was not much.

Therefore, Zhang Meng's first task after his arrival was to let the soldiers prepare the city defense equipment, so that he could have one more point of certainty, and in addition, he also ordered the rest of the cities in the rear to also hurry up the time to prepare boulders and rolling logs. But as a result, the Wei army, which was already exhausted, did not have enough time to rest at all.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun. After luring the enemy to succeed, the Zhao army only lost more than 4,000 people in this battle, and the combat strength was still nearly 50,000.

The main reason why Zhao Yong did not let the army take advantage of the victory to pursue was that the army had enough rest in the second half of the night. Moreover, at that time, the Wei army was scattered, and in the middle of the night, it was in the woods, and once the soldiers were scattered and hiding, if they did not search carefully in the woods, they were afraid that it would be difficult to detect anything even if they passed by the other party.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Yong directly vetoed this laborious and meaningless decision.

Sure enough, the Zhao army, which had been fully rested in the second half of the night, marched directly into the city of Wei in the early morning, and after the army's mighty attack for several miles, under the rumbling war drums, the Zhao army, which was full of momentum all the way, showed a brave side. From the sound of the war drums of the siege, it took only one hour to break through the castle.

Before the city was broken, there were nearly 7,000 defenders in the city, plus the people in the city who volunteered to go to the city tower to help, and the combat strength in the city was about 9,000 people. When the city was broken, Zhang Meng only led more than 2,000 tired soldiers to evacuate Mucheng. Because the people who volunteered to guard the city were unwilling to obey the arrangements of the Zhao army after the Zhao army entered the city, many people were even gathered together by the Zhao army in the name of disturbing the safety of the Zhao army, and were shot and killed by random arrows.

Zhang Meng, who barely supported his spirits, went through several small cities several times, but he could not resist the fierce offensive of the Zhao army at all, and the Zhao army was in five cities in just one day.

Until early this morning, when the court received the battle report, more than 40,000 Zhao troops had already assembled outside the city of Jingfeng, ready to go.

……

On the city tower at this moment, Zhang Mengyuan watched Zhao Jun's every move from a high place with a pair of red eyes open.

At this moment, there were only 2,000 soldiers left by his side, and these 2,000 were directly placed by Zhang Meng to guard the city for the final battle.

In addition, all the people in the city who prepared the city defense equipment were all young and middle-aged men in the city.

Through that red and cloudy gaze, the Zhao army camp at this time had already kicked up a cloud of dust, obscuring everything that happened on that land.

A fast horse galloped from the Chinese army, delivering orders to the entire army that was scattered and resting. After a few breaths, the army began to assemble.

"General, there is a scout to report, the Zhao army has begun to assemble. It looks like it's going to be a city. It should be the same as before, the remaining 40,000 troops of the Zhao army were all camped, Zhao Yong was responsible for commanding the commander, and the general Zhao Yuan personally led the army to attack the city. The voice that came to my ears changed from hearty at the beginning, but in the end, the more I spoke, the weaker it became.

"Ben knows." Looking at the cloud of dust that was slowly moving towards him, Zhang Meng retracted his gaze that was staying in the distance, turned around and asked quietly, "How are the preparations in the city?" ”

According to the general's order, all the strong men who can be mobilized have been used, and the boulders are less than a thousand each, and the wooden shields that the general wants are tightly made into five sides. And there are only five thousand arrows in the city......" said the voice, which slowly stopped.

Less than 5,000 arrows means that before Zhao Jun landed on the top of the city, his side could only carry out two salvos, which was afraid that even Zhao Jun's fur would not be injured.

"He sent the women and children out of the city, and all the men in the city were to be requisitioned. Before the arrival of the Zhao army, the east, west, and north gates were blocked, and there should be soil and stone reserves in the south gate, and they should be blocked if necessary. After the three gates were blocked, let the people go up to the city tower and defend the city together. Tell the soldiers and the people of the city that there is a big beam behind them, and we can only defend this battle, and the city will be broken. ”

"Yes." The general who was waiting on the side responded loudly.

After he left, Zhang Meng looked around at the soldiers on both sides of the city tower, only a few of them were still guarding the city with weapons in their hands, and most of the soldiers were too tired, and they snuggled up and slept together on the city wall with his consent.

"Blow the trumpet and let them all wake up." Turning to a soldier who was following this, Zhang Meng commanded softly.

……

At this time, among the Zhao army, Zhao Yong and Zhao Yuan rode horses together, in the Chinese army surrounded by heavy troops.

"In the past few days, the general has broken more than ten cities in a row, it is really heroic, Lone has already told all the recent battles to the father of the monarch for the general and the warriors of my Zhao country. In front, Jingfeng City broke through the Wei State, and there were no more cities blocking the way for our army to attack Daliang. In this battle, the general has to play majestic. "It's not a fast march at the moment. Zhao Yong leisurely rode on horseback and looked at the beautiful scenery of the Wei land. After those words, there was a hearty laugh.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the Wei army has no way to retreat, although Jingfeng is a big city, but only more than 2,000 defenders can help me, no accident, my army can go to Daliang City before dark. When the time comes, let's see how rampant he is Wei Poppy. Zhao Yuan, who glanced at Zhao Yong, also clenched his fists at this time, looking like he was swearing.

The faint smile on his face seemed to silently indicate that Jingfeng was already in his pocket.

"Haha, if the general can have this confidence, he can wait for the news of the city in the rear army with peace of mind. It's a pity," Zhao Yong said and stretched out comfortably, and continued: "It's a pity that there is no wine in the army, and the war is imminent, so you can't drink." After returning from this evil breath for the people of Zhao State for me, I will definitely have a drink with the general. ”

In the midst of the military formation, the two talked and laughed and felt uncomfortable.

The sun in the middle of the sky slowly moved from the east to the west.

It was close to the afternoon.

At this moment, on the tower of Jingfeng's city, all the Wei troops have retreated a little sleepy after a simple wash, and two thousand soldiers are facing the wind, standing quietly on the north city wall, waiting quietly for the fierce battle they are about to face, which may be the last stop for them in this life.

In the city, the original bazaar has been occupied by the people who have been left behind and Zhang Meng and other thousands of people.

On a huge ten-stage platform is a general layout map of Jingfeng City, and Zhang Meng, a staff general, and the only remaining three thousand people will look around the edge of the map.

After a while, Zhang Meng raised his head and took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pointed at the general, "Compared to the Zhao army, it is very likely that it will be attacked from all sides, and we should be prepared." If the Zhao army really attacks from all sides, you will guard the east gate. ”

As he spoke, he turned and pointed to two of the three thousand-strong generals, "One of you guards the west gate and the other guards the south gate." One more person was left in the city to mobilize the people and arrange manpower, and the two guarded the north gate. ”

When the words fell, he deliberately raised his head and looked at the faces of several people: "Everyone, do you remember clearly?" ”

"The last general will follow the general's arrangement."

"Well, can you find out, how many people are still in this city?" After the four of them finished answering, Zhang Meng turned to the general and asked.

"It has been ascertained, and there are still 1,641 people." The general replied, only halfway through his words, he paused suddenly, and his face looked a little ugly: "But there are more than three hundred old and weak among them. ”

"The old and weak will be in the city, and the rest of the more than 1,000 people will be arranged as appropriate when the Zhao army attacks the city."

After the words fell, Zhang Meng slowly came to the people standing together, "Subjects of Wei, the Zhao people bullied me and humiliated me, and now they have arrived outside the city. The general will not hide it from everyone, in this battle, if we do not have reinforcements, it will inevitably be the end of the city's destruction. But through the gate to the north of the Fengnai Beam, we have no danger to defend except this, and there is no room for retreat. I just wanted to ask everyone if I wanted to stay and fight with us to resist the Zhao army. The Zhao army is about to attack the city, if everyone wants to leave, the general will not stop it, I just hope that after leaving the city, everyone can find a safe place to take refuge for a while. Time is running out, if you want to leave now, go to the South City Gate immediately, and someone will naturally take you away. ”
