Chapter 7: The War and the War (I)
"Bah, bah, bah, all these unlucky words, go to school quickly, otherwise my mother will be beaten!" Zhao Ying's eyes widened, her nose moved and flashed to the side, her figure jumped, the long stick in her hand swept, the leaves fell one after another, and the shadow of the stick was heavy.
Several figures appeared, one of them pointed with his hand, "Who is this person?" ”
"Zhao Ying, the third son of Zhao Hao!"
"Young hero, it's amazing!"
The person who came was Zhao Wang and his entourage, and they loved Zhao Ying when they saw Zhao Ying practicing the stick method and the tiger and the tiger were fond of it, it was really a tiger father without a dog, Zhao Kuo had already done it, and Zhao Ying had a tiger head and a tiger brain to attract people's favorites.
Zhao Ying put away the long stick, looked up and down and didn't recognize it, and came to the front and pointed at the long stick in his hand, "Who are you looking for?" ”
The guards behind him showed anger on their faces, daring to be rude to the king, even your son Zhao Hao did not dare to be so presumptuous, King Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your father can be in the house?" ”
Zhao Ying pointed with his hand, "In the study!" ”
King Zhao led people away, Zhao Ying showed a look of surprise on his face, the two people next to him seemed to have met, one seemed to be the general of Zhao Guo The status is not low, and the other is the same, why did the other party look respectful, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and his head shook a few times and ran away quickly.
"Duwei Zhao, the king has come to see you!"
Zhao Hao hurriedly got up after hearing this, King Zhao took Lian Po and Lin Xiangru to the door, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, "I don't know how rude the king is here, please forgive the king!" Mother Zhao also knelt aside, peeking at it, King Zhao had no smile on his face, he had heard that the current king was wise, decisive and approachable, and it was true when he saw it today.
"Those who don't know are not guilty, this king has just learned that Du Wei is in poor health, so come and take a look!"
Lian Po coughed, "Lian Po's words were inevitably heavier before, and I hope that Lord Duwei will not take it to heart!" ”
"General Lian is also for Zhao Guo, Zhao Hao only wants to serve the king for the last time in his life, and he doesn't want to be too heavy to go into battle to kill the enemy!"
King Zhao patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, as long as the Zhao Kingdom is united, the Qin soldiers are not afraid!" ”
"The king is wise!"
Hu Wound's face was gloomy and he looked at the soldiers of Zhao State on the high ground and kept running, Dao arrows were shot, and there were countless dead and wounded under the city fortress, most of the Qin army fled everywhere they went in the past, what Hu Hurt didn't expect was that Ran and the defenders were so difficult, from the launch of the raid to the present ten days have passed, the Qin army is far above the other side with its strength, and the rotation camp attacks day and night, and the garrison and the defenders must be tormented, how can they never occupy it.
The black shadow climbed upward, and the shield in his hand was raised above his head to block the opponent's arrows, and suddenly a loud noise came, which was a rolling log roaring down from a high place, and the Qin army camp suddenly turned over on his back, this kind of rolling wood is made of thick trees mixed with mud, with spikes on it, and the two sides are fixed with ropes, once someone approaches, the rope is cut immediately, and the rolling wood is rolling down faster and faster with the help of the mountain is awe-inspiring.
The road was narrow, and the Qin army could not dodge, so they could only see the rolling log hit the body of their companion, and the speed of the rolling log did not decrease at all, and one after another the figures were engulfed and finally fell into the abyss.
One person came to the front, "General, the defense of the Zhao army is too strong, and the siege soldiers are too damaged, it is better to take a siege and surround the top of the mountain, once the food is exhausted, it will be easy to win!" ”
Hu Shu snorted coldly, "How many people were killed or injured in total?" ”
The man said: "Back to the general, no less than 4,000 soldiers have been killed and wounded in a few days!" ”
"It's just four thousand, and the drums can't stop for a moment, and the general will order those who dare to retreat to be killed!"
Hu Wound led an army of 50,000 to attack the Yan and, it has been proved in advance, the Yan and the defenders are not more than 10,000 people, and they are all light infantry, the light infantry combat power is limited, Hu Wound 50,000 troops are not lacking in the impact of the amazing heavy cavalry, infantry, cavalry is the easiest to distinguish, the infantry is step by step out of the soldiers, the cavalry people on the horse status is inevitably higher, as for the bow and crossbow soldiers are the most scarce, not only to know the method of the bow and crossbow, but also to shoot accurately, the infantry is different, only two legs can walk, when the siege of tens of thousands of people launched together, Most people are just shouting and cheering, and the real short-handed combat is a minority after all.
Hu Sheng's order was issued, and the deputy general had no choice but to pass on his order, and the two camps under the mountain were assembled, and the deputy general came to the front, "Rush up!" ”
With a roar, a group of Qin troops rushed forward with a certain heart of death, shouting and killing, along the narrow mountain road all the way up, above the fortress, a person waved the command flag in his hand, a burst of arrows were shot, and from time to time someone fell to the ground with an arrow.
Hu injured to check the corpse of the Qin army, it is undeniable that the Zhao army's bow and crossbow are advantageous, most of the dead and wounded soldiers were killed directly by arrows in the throat, it can be seen that they are well-trained on weekdays, and if they fall into a panic and release arrows indiscriminately, the threat will be limited.
One of the most critical points is that the place of Yan and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains on the left are surrounded, the water on the right is rolling east, a narrow mountain road winds up halfway up the mountain, the Yan and the fortress are just built between the two mountains, there is an arrow tower built on it, the field of vision is broad, you can't do it if you want to sneak attack, you can only attack.
The third wave of the offensive could not be effective, Hu was injured and had no choice but to retreat to rest, ten days down to no less than 5,000 dead and wounded, Yan and the defenders also killed and wounded more than 1,000 people, the Qin cavalry is good at riding and shooting, the arm strength of the man on the horse is amazing, with the help of the horse momentum to fly inward is extremely powerful, the defenders can not dodge and are killed.
Both sides have dead and wounded, Hu saw that he could not take it, so he had to temporarily withdraw his troops, the Qin army retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground, Yan and the guards breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes fell on the distance, where is the direction of Handan, the Qin army offensive is too fierce, I only hope that the king can send troops to rescue as soon as possible, otherwise Yan and will inevitably not be able to hold it for a long time, one person's life and death is small, 10,000 soldiers plus the safety of Zhao is big.
"How many crossbows are there?"
"Less than 10,000!"
"How's it going to be a rolling log?"
"Up to three days!"
"Three days!" The guard repeated in a whisper, the fierce battle day and night was bloodshot in his eyes, his lips were cracked and oozing blood because of thirst, life and death were at stake, these have long become no longer important, three days, only three days, whether the reinforcements can arrive, if not, when the bow and crossbow are used up, there is no advantage in defending the city, whether to defend or give up, a gust of wind blows, blowing the sand and gravel on the ground, and several birds on the top of the mountain keep circling, making bursts of sorrow, it must be a companion who has been affected by the war, and the birds are still like this, let alone people.
Zhao Kuo led the new army to rush to the rescue and rescue, Lei Meng, Mu Chen, Heiba and others are the first time to go out, with a little excitement and also worried, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, once there is a mistake and omission, it will inevitably affect the battle situation, and the heart is secretly encouraging, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and they must not embarrass the son.
On this day, the army resisted Wu'an, Wu'an garrisoned 20,000 Zhao troops, the banner was flying above the city fortress, the city gate was closed, Zhao Kuo came to the front and shouted, "Zhao Kuo, the commander of the new army, led the new army to rescue Yan You, and immediately open the city gate!" ”
A person on the city wall looked down, the clothes and flags on his body could be seen clearly, it must be Zhao Jun, the city gate was wide open, Zhao Kuo and others entered, and the general stepped forward to salute, "The defenders of Wu'an have seen General Zhao!" ”
"How's the war going?"
The man shook his head, "I could hear shouting and killing a few days ago, but I haven't heard it today, most of them have fallen into the hands of the Qin army!" ”
"How long does it take to get from here?"
"It takes two days for the infantry, and one day for the cavalry!"
Zhao Kuo glared angrily, "In that case, knowing that there are not enough defenders, why don't you refuse to come to the rescue?" ”
"General Ben shoulders the heavy responsibility of Wu'an, and he will definitely not leave without the king's order!"
"The fighter plane is fleeting, the art of war is cloudy, and the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, is it just for a responsibility to watch tens of thousands of comrades die under the Qin saber!"
The man sneered, "That's a good thing to say, once Wu'an loses not the general's head, but also hundreds of thousands of people in the city, if the Qin army comes here, even if he dies in battle, it is understandable!" ”
"Forget it, is there a shortcut along the way?"
"This is a difficult and dangerous road, and it is most likely to be ambushed, so I advise General Zhao to be careful!"
The two of them didn't talk speculatively, the new army left Wu'an, and the general of Wu'an snorted coldly, "General Ben has been stationed here for many years, how can he allow a doll to point fingers!" Look at how you resist the Qin army, in the end, you don't have to rely on Lao Tzu's Wu'an City. The man was not angry, and was dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo's questioning.
