Chapter 381: Riots
The long wind blows the grass, and the water flows eastward.
The battle ahead has not yet come, and a haze has already shrouded the Great Wall of Zhao State.
Wei Yu stood beside Zhao Shuang, in the crowd, in the escort of the soldiers of Zhao State, and went to the next destination.
"It seems that the battle ahead is decided!"
Wei Yi whispered, it didn't matter. In fact, whether it was Zhao Sheng or Qin Sheng, Wei Yi didn't care, but with a mentality of watching the excitement.
Otherwise, he would not have blended into the conscription team and moved bricks with Zhao Shuang.
Zhao Shuang glanced around, judging from the style of the soldiers of the Zhao Army today, even if the high-level of the Zhao Army wanted to conceal it, the people below also noticed something?
The current soldiers of the Zhao Army do not have the ease and comfort when the army went south that day, but are a little anxious.
Victory and defeat are completely different. Not long ago, the soldiers of the Zhao army guarding the Great Wall received an order to suspend the delivery of supplies to the front line, and soon asked them to reload the already piled up supplies.
But this time, the direction of transportation is northbound to Handan.
……
A little bit of detail told the soldiers of the Zhao army that the battle ahead was not all smooth sailing, and something happened.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Zhao Shuang smiled. Even if we haven't received news from the front line yet, we already know the answer from the changes.
They were taken to a pass by the Zhao army.
The Great Wall of the Southern Zhao Kingdom was built along the Zhangshui River, and in front of this pass stood a long bridge that could communicate the north and the south. Around the long bridge, there are small piers and boats gathered together.
And now, when Zhao Shuang and the others arrived, there were already a lot of conscripts gathered in front of the long bridge, waiting.
First, a truckload of supplies that had just been sent back not long ago passed through the Zhangshui Long Bridge. Then, a large number of ships gathered here, and the conscripts began to load and unload supplies and transport them back.
However, after the transportation was completed, the boats did not return, but were moored by the dock, floating alone.
Originally, everything was calm, and the real change began in the afternoon when Zhao Shuang arrived here.
First of all, a team of Zhao rode through here in a bit of a hurry. They are well organized, but their morale is quite low. Without saying a word, after handing over to the governor of this pass, he headed north.
Soon after, another group of infantry came towards the area. Compared with the cavalry, they were very embarrassed and numerous, discarded their armor and weapons, and only brought a banner of the Zhao army, and hurried over.
As soon as he crossed the long bridge, he asked the lieutenant guarding the pass for water and food, apparently, he had not eaten for a long time.
At this time, even the dullest person realizes the problem.
Anxiety began to permeate the conscription, and everything seemed to be very panicked. And the lieutenant guarding the pass looked wrong after listening to the words of the highest-ranking commander in the group of infantry.
"A group of soldiers from the Zhao army is gone. It seems that Zhao Jun is ready to burn the bridge. ”
Wei Yi bent over, carried the box, and whispered in Zhao Shuang's ear.
The conscripts were doing menial work, and the soldiers of the Zhao army had never done anything in recent days. And now, a team of Zhao soldiers has disappeared, and Wei Yu seems to have seen the end.
"Above the Zhangshui, there is more than one bridge. This is neither the largest, nor the most off-the-beaten-the-road. It seems that the situation of Zhao Jun is not good! ”
In the sky, a bird approached. Zhao Shuang glanced up, and Mo Crow sent a message that the vanguard of the Qin army was only an hour away from here.
"What are you looking at?"
Wei Yu was beside him, a little strange. Zhao Shuang smiled and turned his head.
"Brother Wei, what do you think of this battle?"
"I don't know what lies ahead at the moment. However, the Zhao army had obviously prepared for the worst and burned the bridge to block the advance of the Qin army. ”
At this moment, a loud shout came from my ears.
"Look, there's a spot."
Thick black smoke rose from the riverbank miles away, and the uneasiness in the hearts of all the conscripts erupted.
For a while, there was a lot of voice.
That's where the downstream bridge is, and everyone knows what's going on.
Zhao Jun began to burn the bridge!
What does this mean?
The group of soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were usually the same as their grandfather, began to go down in person and smash the boats that had gathered around the dock.
And the soldiers of the Zhao army, who had disappeared, began to turn around, and returned to the front of the pass with several truckloads of goods, loaded with fire oil, thatch and other fire-causing things.
Wei Yi glanced at Zhao Shuang and touched his beard.
"It seems that the Qin army can only stop."
Wei Yi knew very well that even if the Qin army's combat strength could defeat the Zhao army, they could not have an advantage in numbers.
As soon as the bridge and boats were destroyed, there was no fulcrum on the banks of the Baili River.
The Qin army either rebuilt the pontoon bridges or transferred ships from Dong Gun and Hanoi. The former is not easy, the Zhao army is on the north bank, and will not let the Qin army build a bridge so quickly. As for the transfer of ships from elsewhere, it will not be possible at all in a short time.
Although the Zhao army is a defeated army, the Qin army is also a lone army, and after a long time, there will be changes.
Wei Yi looked at Zhao Shuang, and saw that he seemed to be waiting for something?
"At this moment, unless God favors it, it will rain. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a turnaround. ”
Zhao Shuang listened to Wei Yi's words, looked up at the sky, and the sky was clear. There were still several defeated troops on the other side, but they were not in a hurry, and appeared to be in good order, passing through the long bridge.
"Zhao Jun is more decisive than I thought."
"What does Hanyang-kun want?"
It's not early, at most half an hour, the Qin army is coming. But at this time, Zhao Jun had already laid reeds, thatchs and other fire-causing things on the bridge and began to pour fire oil
"Mr. sent Qin to envoy for Wei at this time, but in order to let Qin attack Zhao. And once the two countries enter the war, Wei can relax a lot. ”
"That's true!"
"If the Qin army stops at Zhangshui, then it will inevitably retreat, which doesn't seem to be what Mr. wants."
"That's true!"
"Do you know how to water?"
"What Han Yangjun said, I am a person from Daliang and am familiar with water."
"Then I see!"
Zhao Shuang nodded, and just when Wei Yu was a little puzzled, he raised his hand and roared.
"My lord, I found a spy."
In Wei Yi's stunned gaze, Zhao Shuang dodged away from Wei Yi's side as quickly as possible and found the nearest centurion.
"My lord, he is a spy of the Qin State."
"What's going on?"
"I told my adults that I had long since noticed that something was wrong with this kid. He didn't know who to tell just now, Qin Jun was coming right away, get ready. That's not a spy, what could it be? ”
As Zhao Shuang's words fell, a large shadow of black pressure in the distant field of vision, with a huge sense of oppression, came here.
"There are Qin army spies. Quick, catch him. ”
The centurion shouted, and before the long bridge, the riot began.
Wei Yi glanced at Zhao Shuang, who was hiding behind people, and scolded in his heart.
"Boy, there's really yours."
For a while, Lieutenant Zhao Jundu's nerves tightened. Why at this time?
Seeing that the Qin army was approaching, the spy was nimble, flashing left and right. The lieutenant was anxious and shouted.
"Don't care about the defeated soldiers on the other side, burn the bridge first......"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain behind him and fell to the ground. Then there was another voice in the crowd.
"The spy of the Qin army has done Du Wei, everyone run!"
With the sound of panic, a large number of conscripts began to pour towards the pass, breaking up the originally orderly Zhao army column.
When the defeated soldiers of the Zhao army rushed to the bridge, no one cared about the ignition on the bridge deck, and only hurried to cross the bridge. A jar of fire oil was kicked over and shattered, and it was difficult for the officers of the Zhao army to control the situation.
For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic, and no one paid attention to the spy who was initially found and now jumped into the water to escape.
And the whistleblower, after glancing at the Qin cavalry that was getting closer and closer, turned around, blended in with the crowd, and fled to Handan.
