Chapter 240: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Sindu
When Zhao Fan saw Zhao Wuming leaving, he suppressed his laughter, then stood up and turned around and walked in the direction where the army was. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Chuan, Hao Zhi and others saw Zhao Fan coming and bowed to him: "Your Majesty."
"The giant deer is about to be taken, and Xindu is now irrelevant. Gu wanted to make Zhao Wuming a little desperate, and ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to launch a fierce attack." Zhao Fan turned to look at Xindu in front of him, his eyes full of hatred. If it weren't for the hatred of killing his mother and taking his wife, I'm afraid it would be the same as what Fang Cai said to Zhao Wuming, at this time, he should lead an army of 300,000 to attack Julu, so why bother to come to this Xindu.
Shen Chuan, Hao Zhi and others saw Zhao Fan's hateful gaze, and they shuddered in their hearts and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order: "Follow the order of the king."
The drums sounded in a phalanx of thousands of people, like dense ants, rushing towards the letter in front.
On the city wall, Zhao Wuming looked out of the city, and his face gradually sank. looked around at Sun Buji and other generals of the pro-guard army, and just wanted to speak when he heard footsteps, and immediately swallowed his words.
A personal guard hurriedly ran over with a silk book in his hand and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "Lord Qi, I just received an urgent military information from Handan."
"Urgent military situation?". Zhao Wuming was slightly stunned, took the silk book from the hand of the guard, and slowly opened it.
Sun Buer asked Zhao Wuming: "But something happened in Handan."
"The sand dunes have been lost, and the giant deer has been broken. The defenders of Handan and the forbidden army suffered heavy losses, and now the total strength of the two armies combined is less than 30,000. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother had gathered the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Tunliu, Changping, and Pingyang regions, I am afraid that Handan would have been lost. At this time, the two armies had already fought fiercely between Julu and Xindu. The eldest brother has already issued an order to Xingping Jun to transfer the 200,000 soldiers of the clan who were originally intended to rescue my Xindu to Julu and fight the main force of Zhao Fan." Zhao Wuming replied to Sun Buer, thinking of the conversation with Zhao Fan just outside the city, his heart was full of flavors.
Fan Shun's lips moved after hearing this, but he still couldn't help but ask Zhao Wuming: "In this way, I believe that it has become a lonely city."
"With 25,000 soldiers against 90,000 elites, is the king's move intentional or unintentional?" Qingque subconsciously asked Zhao Wuming, and his heart was cold.
Sun Buer looked at Zhao Wuming, and his tone couldn't help but be a little bigger: "In this way, we have been regarded as an abandoned son by King Zhao." Sitting trapped outside the lonely city and without reinforcements, does King Zhao want to do it, borrowing a knife to kill people."
"Abandoned Son". Zhao Wuming repeated in a low voice, but he felt that he could not refute it.
Fan Shun analyzed to Zhao Wuming: "There are 300,000 soldiers of the Gong Clan, even if 50,000 troops are divided to rescue us, what does it matter." From this point of view, King Zhao is a thin and cool person."
"Judging from the current situation, perhaps this decision of the king is more beneficial to my Zhao country." Qingque calmed down and thought for a while, looking at Fan Shun and Sun Buji to analyze them.
Zhao Wuming put away the silk book and looked at the enemy troops surging under the city. suppressed the slightest suspicion, if he had doubts at this time, wouldn't he fall into Zhao Fan's divisive plan. Thinking of this, he looked around at Sun Buer and the generals of the pro-guard army, and immediately ordered: "The pro-guard army is stubbornly waiting for help."
"No". Sun Buji led a group of generals of the pro-guard army to bow down and receive the order.
Qingque and Fan Shun both looked at each other suspiciously: "Reinforcements?".
"How can you be alone without reinforcements". A long howl sounded, followed by a golden eagle flying from the sky. Zhao Wuming's heart was settled, and he looked at the enemy troops surging outside the city, and a wave of arrogance rose. Whoever wants their own life from today will pay a heavy price.
Outside the city, Zhao Fan and the others raised their heads and saw a golden eagle flying towards Xindu in the sky, and frowned slightly.
Shen Chuan explained to Zhao Fan: "The giant eagle in this sky is said to be a thing of the Northern Han Kingdom, called the Golden Eagle."
"Han Kingdom?". A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhao Fan's mouth: "It's just pretending to be a ghost."
A soldier quickly ran to Zhao Fan and bowed to him: "Qiyu Jun and Julu Cheng have been taken by our army, and the king has mobilized 300,000 soldiers of the princes to start a fierce battle with the main force of our army between Julu and Xindu."
"Sir really expects things like a god, and when our army captures Xindu and rushes to the empty Handan City, the general trend will be decided." Zhao Fan looked at Shen Chuan and sighed at him. Shen Chuan's wisdom is really not to be underestimated, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Mo family that night, how could he be defeated.
Shen Chuan was modest to Zhao Fan: "It's just a fluke guess in the next, Zhao Yu is actually the same as the first king." It is estimated that he must be grateful to the king at this time and help him kill Zhao Wuming."
"Since it is the eldest brother, how can he not appreciate it as his third brother." After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he looked at the Xindu in front of him, and instructed Hao Zhi: "Every time I delay a point, the vitality of my Zhao Kingdom will weaken by a point." You are alone in commanding 30,000 soldiers and horses, and you must take Xindu as quickly as possible."
"Yes". Hao Zhi bowed, and then walked towards the army behind him.
The drums expanded, each rushing faster than the other.
Half of the army behind Zhao Fan was divided and rushed forward under the leadership of Hao Zhi.
Shindu was crumbling under the onslaught of 60,000 elites, and a rain of arrows shot frantically outside the city, but it looked a little pale in the face of the boundless enemy army.
The 60,000 wolf guards climbed up the city wall like ants, and the pro-guard army was defeated one after another, and the city wall gradually fell apart.
One of the guards quickly ran to the place where Zhao Wuming was, and blurted out the battle report before he had time to salute.
"The enemy has launched a fierce attack, and the eastern section of the city wall has been lost".
"Fan Shun rushed with a thousand reinforcements and has now been recaptured."
"The enemy army sent a ladder, and our army was insufficient."
"The western section of the city wall is in an emergency, and the southern section of the city wall is in an emergency."
"Five hundred reinforcements have arrived, and the west and south sections of the city wall have been scorched."
"The enemy army sent siege engines, and the city gates were empty".
"The west gate has been breached, and the enemy is marching towards the city."
"The south gate was breached, and the east gate was in danger."
As soon as the words fell, a loud bang came. Zhao Wuming looked at the north gate under the city wall, and saw that the north gate was wide open, and countless blue wolf guards were pouring towards this place like a tide.
didn't have time to think about it, he immediately pulled out his sword and rushed over with Sun Buer and a hundred guards.
The sound of swords rang out, and chaos reigned from the city walls to the city.
Sun Buer took a sword in his hand, and a blue wolf guard fell to the ground and died, taking advantage of this only gap to shout at Zhao Wuming: "The lord quickly withdraws, withdraw to the palace of Xindu, and rely on the palace wall to resist for a while."
"If Lone withdraws with the guards, the people of Xindu will definitely suffer from the disaster of swords, and the golden eagle will not be able to retreat at this time." Zhao Wuming replied to Zhao Wuming who was blocking in front, and then looked around at the dozens of guards around him: "I am willing to fight to the death with loneliness."
"I am willing to fight to the death with the lord." Dozens of guards responded with a bang, and then raised their swords and stabbed their opponents.
Sun Buji thought of the golden eagle he had just seen, and immediately he didn't forcibly persuade him. I just hope that the Han army can come sooner, if the letter is lost, the pro-guard army will be destroyed, and I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable.
