Chapter 869: The Emperor's Order Must Not Be Violated
"Haven't the reinforcements from Wu State arrived yet?"
At the head of the city, Zheng Bo Jisheng looked at Yang Ziju beside him and asked.
"Monarch, it is said that Wu Guoda Sima Wu Zixu has raised 150,000 troops from the hegemony to aid my Zheng State, I believe that in five days at most, the Wu army will be able to reach the national capital."
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Ji Sheng couldn't help frowning.
"Why did Wu have such a large army at every turn?"
"I don't know. Perhaps King Wu's plan was very big, and he intended to attack Wei and Han. β
"Okay."
Ji Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait a few more days, and Xinzheng City will not be broken by the Sanjin coalition army.
However, the development of things greatly exceeded Ji Sheng and Yang Ziju's expectations.
Zheng Jun held on to his national capital, and for ten days, he did not see any reinforcements from Wu.
This made Zheng Guo's monarchs and ministers up and down, and they couldn't help but wonder if they had been fooled by Wu Guo.
After waiting for so long, why didn't reinforcements arrive?
β¦β¦
"Newspaperβ"
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Three Jin Coalition Army, Zhao Ying sat on the handsome seat and discussed military affairs with the generals on the left and right.
Suddenly, a junior colonel hurriedly entered the big tent and handed a report to Zhao Ying.
"Monarch, Hexi Urgent!"
Zhao Ying took the report and looked at it, couldn't help frowning, looked at the generals present, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, the Wu army has more than 100,000 people, and it has connected many cities in Hexi, and the troops are approaching Anyi. β
"What!"
The generals couldn't help but change color.
What this means, they know very well in their hearts.
Originally, when they heard the news that Wu had sent troops, they were not very relieved, thinking that this battle was expected to end in a hurry.
Now the Wu army did not rush directly to Xinzheng to rescue Zheng Guo, but chose to seize the land west of the river and surround Anyi?
Anyi, that's the capital of Wei!
"Newspaperβ"
Another colonel hurriedly entered the big tent and handed an edict to Wei Zhi, the general of Wei.
After Wei Zhi saw the content of the edict, he couldn't help but sigh, stood up and bowed to Zhao Ying, and said, "Zhao Jun, this time to attack Zheng, my Wei army is about to leave." β
"Wu Zixu has led an army to besiege Anyi City. The capital of our Wei State was in danger, and the monarch ordered me to lead the troops back to help. β
"This ......"
All the generals couldn't help but look at each other.
Zhao Ying frowned and said, "Gongzi, Zheng Jun in the city is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he can't hold on for long." β
"Childe, how can you sit back and watch the coalition forces fail?"
"Alas!"
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "Zhao Jun, it is difficult to disobey your order. If Anyi falls, what is the point of destroying Zheng? β
"Please wait."
Zhao Ying thought for a while, and then said: "Anyi is the capital of your Wei State, the city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is that the Wu army has powerful siege equipment, and even the legendary earth-shaking thunder cannot easily break through Anyi City. β
"My intention is to send troops from Zhao and Korea to reinforce Anyi. Gongzi Ke led his troops to continue the attack on Zhengcheng. β
"No."
Wei Zhi hesitated and said, "Zhao Jun, the king's order cannot be violated. β
"At this time, isn't it too late to send troops from South Korea and Zhao to rescue Anyi? Even if Zheng can be destroyed, Anyi can be preserved, and it will not be broken by the Wu army, I am afraid that after the war, it will be difficult to escape the blame! β
Seriously, Wei Zhi was afraid of being questioned by his father Wei Luxu......
Seeing Wei Zhi who was looking forward and backward like this, Zhao Ying just chuckled and said, "Don't worry, son. The widow should repair a book, so that Wei Jun can find out the inside story. β
"The widow has been friends with Wei Jun for many years, Wei Jun is a sensible person, and he will definitely not lose a big one because of a small one."
"Thank you Zhao Jun."
Now, when the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces are about to break through Xinzheng City, how can Zhao Ying, Wei Zhi and others let their success fail?
β¦β¦
Outside the city of Anyi.
Wu Zixu, who was standing on the hillside, looked at a group of Wei heralds who had entered the city, and did not order to chase and kill.
This time, the Wu army of 100,000 men and horses besieged Anyi City, adopting the conventional method of besieging three and missing one.
The Wu army only surrounded the east, west, and north sides of Anyi City, leaving the south side so that the Wei people in the city could escape, and even reported to the Wei people in various places to ask for help from the Sanjin coalition forces still in Zhengdi.
Wu Zixu's purpose was just to force the Wei army, and even the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces to rush to Anyi.
If it was only the Wei army that rescued Anyi, Wu Zixu could lead his troops to annihilate it.
If it was the Sanjin coalition army, Wu Zixu would not be able to avoid its edge and wait for the opportunity to fight again.
"Da Sima, why don't you order the siege of the city?"
Gongzi Zhang, who was following along, asked.
The rest of the generals are also gearing up and eager to try.
However, Wu Zixu just shook his head and said, "No hurry." β
Destroying Wei is a great achievement.
The Wu army has a full 150,000 horses, and it is not impossible to break through the city of Anyi and destroy a Wei state.
However, Qingji's order was only to seize the land west of the river, how could Wu Zixu dare to be arbitrary?
"Childe Chapter."
"The last general!"
"You will gather the trebuchets and the earth-shattering thunder to attack Anyi City from a distance. Remember, you don't have to send troops to attack the city. β
"No!"
Gongzizhang didn't know Wu Zixu's plans yet.
However, since this is the commander's order, Gongzi Zhang should obey it.
This is also to greatly avoid the death and injury of Wu soldiers.
"Put!"
With Gongzizhang's order, the two hundred trebuchets that had been placed outside Anyi City for a long time instantly fired one stone bullet after another.
Rocks pierce the air.
"Hugh Hugh!"
"Boom!"
With a piercing sound, a large number of stone bullets smashed into the city walls and castle heads.
Between the splashes of rubble, the rammed earth solidified walls immediately became pitted.
Many unlucky Wei soldiers were hit by stone bullets, lost an arm and a leg, and even died directly on the spot.
The gravel was mixed with blood, and the pungent smell was uncomfortable.
What terrified the defenders of the city even more.
Wu Jun's trebuchet also threw out a lot of earth-shattering thunder.
One after another, earth-shattering thunderbolts were projected onto the city, and a huge explosion sounded, accompanied by gunpowder smoke, and wails resounded all over the huge city.
The Wei soldiers who were blown up by the earth-shattering thunder were basically hopeless.
They wailed and rolled on the ground, missing arms and legs, not to mention, some of their intestines and brains were splashed all over the ground, and their eyes were full of mess......
γ
"Quick! Get up! β
"Hold Anyi!"
In order to prevent the Wu army from suddenly attacking the city, the Wei soldiers at the head of the city had to cheer up and continue to guard there tremblingly.
However, they waited left and right, and they could not wait for the Wu army outside the city to launch an attack.
It seems that the previous bursts of stone bullets and earth-shattering thunder were just to deter them.
Not to mention others, Wei Yu was already scared.
He hurriedly wrote an edict, strictly ordering Wei Zhi to return to Anyi as soon as possible, if not, the military law will deal with it.
