Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wei State Strikes
In the middle of the night, the sound of warnings in Handan City was loud, and the sound of mountains and tsunamis came from outside the city. A torrent like fire slammed into Handan City www.biquge.info the pen %fun %pavilion. If the clothing of the soldiers of the Zhao State is a blue flame, then the clothing of the Wei State is like the scorching sun in the sky.
Countless arrows swarmed outside the west gate, and a large number of Wei foot soldiers walked neatly and directly rushed to the city gate with overwhelming momentum. One after another, the ladders were erected, and they climbed up densely like ants. King Wei stood on a high slope outside the west gate, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since the widow ascended the throne, he has been fantasizing about the scene he saw today. If it weren't for the general's plan, how could the widow get his wish."
"These are all things that are within the scope of the matter, and the ministers dare not do it." Pang Juan saluted respectfully to King Wei, his face full of modesty.
King Wei hurriedly helped Pang Juan up, as if he had thought of something, and the smile on his face became a little thicker: "General, guess what kind of expression Zhao Chong's husband will be now."
"The minister dared to speculate that King Zhao should be in a hurry to jump to his feet." Thinking of Zhao Chong's current expression, Pang Juan also laughed.
King Wei turned his head to look at Handan City in the distance, and saw a large number of troops rushing to the city gate, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes: "Handan is the capital of Zhao after all, with a population of millions and more than 300,000 or 400,000 troops. In a hurry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it."
"If there is no way to capture Handan in this strong attack, the minister proposes to besiege the city." Pang Juan obviously had a plan in his heart and proposed it to King Wei.
King Wei thought about it and seemed to be a little unwilling: "Three days, the outnumbered people attacked for three days, if you don't take this Handan city in three days." The widow is listening to the general, and he besieges Zhao Chong's puppet."
"Obey the order". Pang Juan saluted respectfully again, turned to the surrounding soldiers and ordered: "The general and the soldiers will press the whole army to attack, and vow to take Handan City within three days."
"Comply". One soldier galloped in all directions and ran into the middle of the army.
The drums beat loudly and became more rapid than the other, and groups of Wei troops rushed to Handan City. One after another, siege trucks were pushed out and slammed into the gates of Handan City.
On the city wall, a famous archer bent his bow and shot arrows, and countless arrows rained down. At the same time, several soldiers ran quickly in the direction of the palace.
"Raid of the Kingdom of Wei, King of Qiqi".
"The Wei army raided the West Gate, and the West Gate was in a hurry."
"The Wei army dispatched siege vehicles, and the West Gate was in danger."
"Wei Wushu dispatched, the Wei army has been pressed by the whole army, and our army is gradually exhausted. Ask the king, send troops to support quickly".
Zhao Chong got up from his seat, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who had just been summoned, and his heart burst into anger: "Okay, you Wei Fu deliberately sent troops to attack my Handan while encouraging the widow to build a high platform to make the five kingdoms evil."
"The king has just gone to Ximen to carefully let the soldiers estimate, and Wei is only afraid that this time he will come with the strength of the whole country." A military general saluted Zhao Chong, and now the situation is critical, and there can be no delay for a moment.
Zhao Chong took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the general: "The power of the whole country? Wei Wushu. Could it be that Pang Juan, who recaptured Shangjun for Wei from the hands of Qin not long ago, also came? “。
"Wei Wuzu is here, and Pang Juan is naturally outside this city." The military general sighed when he thought of this fierce enemy.
The people were in an uproar and took a breath of cool air. In that year, Wei was almost destroyed by Zhao and Han, and Qin took the opportunity to recapture Shangjun, Hexi and other places. After several bloody battles, the Wei State lost all the Shangjun and most of Hexi fell into the hands of the Qin State, and the Wei State was almost completely defeated. The king of Wei made great efforts to govern the country, personally selected a group of young generals such as Pang Juan, Gongzi Ang, and Long Jia, and appointed virtuous ministers to benefit Shi, so that the Wei State gradually became stronger. A few years ago, the Wei general Pang Juan led the main force of Wei to defeat the Qin people, and all the Shangjun in Hexi were restored, so far, the strength of Wei has reached its peak.
Zhao Chong suddenly thought of the scene of arresting Zhao Wuming outside the city today, and his heart was furious. But considering the situation we are facing, we can only suppress that anger. The Wei raid on Handan had obviously been planned for a long time, and it was only difficult to defeat them: "I don't know who can share the worries of the widows and retreat the Wei army outside the city."
"The king of Wei poured the strength of the whole country to attack, and we can only stick to it and wait for help." A person dressed as a military general, his temples were slightly pale, and he bowed to Zhao Chongyi and replied.
After hearing the proposal, Zhao Chong fell into deep thought, and looked at the military general for a long time: "The reinforcements that the national captain said? Where the hell is there".
"The minister asked the king to send the crown prince to Xindu, and ordered soldiers and horses from all over the country to support Handan." Xue Li said to Zhao Chong that it was the most feasible way at present.
When the hundred officials heard this proposal, they immediately divided into several factions to express their opinions.
"The minister agrees with the suggestion of the national captain, at this time, my Dazhao is in turmoil, and only the prince can justifiably mobilize troops and horses from all over the country to support Handan."
"Outside the city, there is a Wei army pressing the border, it is too dangerous. The crown prince is the prince of my Zhao country, how can he be in danger."
"I heard that the third prince Fan, who has always been brave and martial, was called a true general by the king of Yan in the neighboring country. Why didn't the king let Fan Gongzi go out of the city, and called on soldiers and horses from all over the country to come to support."
"It is precisely because of the third son's Fan Yongwu's outstanding martial arts, at this time, my Handan is the time to employ people, and it would not be a big loss if the third prince left."
"The prince can't get into danger, and the third prince can't leave. After thinking about it, only the second son is the most suitable, and I don't know what your colleagues think."
"It's not appropriate, it's not right to control the soldiers and horses in various places with the body of a son. In the humble opinion of the minister, it is better to let the prince go to the capital."
“……“。
Listening to these discussions, Zhao Chong's heart suddenly caught fire. At such a critical juncture, hundreds of officials still don't know the general situation: "When the national disaster is at hand, what kind of system will you wait for the noise to become."
Baiguan listened to Zhao Chong's scolding, and his heart sank, and then he reflected the crisis he was facing at this time. One by one, the heads went down without speaking, and the hall was silent for a moment.
Zhao Yu's eyes looked at Zhao Yu who was standing among the hundred officials, suppressed the anger in his heart, and his voice gradually softened: "Yu'er, what do you think about this matter."
"The father and his sons were willing to go out of the city to Xindu, and called on soldiers and horses from all over the country to come to support." Zhao Yu didn't say much, and asked Zhao Chong directly.
Zhao Chong fell into deep thought, as if weighing in his heart: "You have to think clearly about this matter."
At this time, the army of Wei was only in the west gate, and the other three city gates did not find the figure of the Wei army. Therefore, Erchen dared to guess that there should be no danger in those three places now." Zhao Yu analyzed Zhao Chong for a while, if the speed is fast enough, he should be able to run to Xindu smoothly.
Zhao Chong made a decision in his heart, and shouted to the hundred officials in front of him: "Spread the decree, the prince will go out of the city to Xindu, and control the soldiers and horses from all over the country to quickly support Handan."
"Son's Command". Zhao Yu saluted respectfully, Zhao Chong immediately wrote his will and used the jade seal, stood up and walked to Zhao Yu and handed it to him.
Zhao Yu took this will, turned around and walked out of the main hall, hoping that all this was still in time.
