Chapter 919: Dongyidi, Weak Princes

Qi County, the gate of the city. Gongzizhang rode a tall horse, stood at the front of the team, held the green dragon halberd in his hand, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, what are we waiting for thousands of miles to attack and go straight into the hinterland of Zhao State?" ”

"For the sake of making meritorious contributions, it is to seal the shadow of his wife!"

"Fathers and fellow villagers of Wu Kingdom, your parents, wives and children are waiting for you to go home!"

"Today's battle, life and death are unpredictable. However, the world will always remember this moment! ”

"The people of the country will be proud of us!"

"Rush with me, keep rushing forward, don't stop! If you see me fall from my horse, don't mourn, but continue to rush and kill until you die! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! After some encouragement from Gongzizhang, the cavalry of the Wu army, who had already riveted their strength, shouted loudly to kill in response to Gongzizhang.

Morale is available! As the city gate was slowly opened, Gongzi Zhang took the lead, rode a tall horse, and rushed out of Qi County.

The iron cavalry of the Wu army, wearing crimson battle clothes and helmets, was like a torrent of steel, pouring thousands of miles and rushing towards the phalanx of the Zhao army out of control.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Zhao army were so frightened that they had to continue to fight.

However, after the previous half an hour of fighting, they were already tired and sleepy. Even Zhao Jun, who did not personally participate in the battle, was a little exhausted because of the tight heartstrings.

At this time, the phalanx of the Zhao army and the Zhongshan army had long been crushed. Wu Jun waited for work with ease, and his vigor was flourishing, and this rush came out, and he immediately crushed the enemy in front of him like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, with a strong posture.

In the battle, the Wu army beheaded more than 30,000 people, leaving not a single prisoner, and all of them were killed. Zhao Ying led the remnants of the defeated army and fled back to Jinyang City in a hurry.

The casualties of the Wu army were not small, more than 3,000 people were killed in the direct battle, not counting the light and serious wounded, and even the general Xu Menchao was seriously injured and almost died in this battle.

…… Changping, Wu military camp. At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Qingji, who came here just now, received a good news from Qi County.

"The widow didn't misread Wu Zhang. This kid fights, not an ordinary Meng! ”

"In the first battle of Qi County, our Wu army fought head-on with more enemies and fewer enemies, beheaded more than 30,000 Zhao troops and Zhongshan troops, and forced Zhao Ying to flee back to Jinyang City in embarrassment."

"This son is like a god, like a widow!" Qingji praised Gongzizhang, and by the way, he brazenly bragged about the cowhide.

On the march and battle, the Qingji asked themselves, compared to Gongzizhang, he was ashamed of himself. However, in front of so many ministers, how could Qingji not boast about himself?

How can this be justified? Regarding Qingji's statement, Fan Li, the imperial historian, couldn't help lowering his head, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and secretly slandered.

Previously, Gongzi Zhang made his own decision and chose to go deep into the hinterland of Zhao State and use it according to Shouqi County

During the "center flowering" tactic, Qingji scolded Gongzi Zhang...... I must be scolding my mother in my heart.

It's just that Qingji, as the king of a country, must have a demeanor and an unchaotic appearance, so he said Gongzi Zhang at that time

"Stupid",

"Reckless" only. Now Gongzizhang has fought this beautiful victory, to a certain extent, it is a slap in the face of Qingji.

But in the face of this kind of big victory, Qingji is willing to be himself often

"Slap in the face".

"Ten thousand years of the king!"

"Great Wu Wansheng!" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wu Zixu, Fan Li, Gou Jian, Heifu and other generals of the Wu army all said loudly with a flattering look.

At this time, Wu Zixu said: "King, Zhao has the defeat of Qi County, and the grain route of the Zhao army on the front line has been blocked, and the army is bound to be in turmoil. ”

"The minister thinks it's time for our army to launch a full-scale attack!" Hearing this, Qingji thought for a while, and then said, "No, it's not time yet." ”

"Yin Duo and Zhao Wuxian are not stupid. The news of the battle of Qixian will inevitably be concealed in the army and blocked the news, so as not to cause turmoil in the army's mind. ”

"But, after all, paper can't contain fire." Qingji said meaningfully: "Once the Zhao army is short of food and grass in the army, the morale of the army will be shaken and morale will be low. At that time, it was the best time for our army to launch a full-scale offensive. ”

"This ...... King, if it is delayed for too long, I am afraid that Zhang Gongzi's side will be very dangerous. Wu Zixu sighed and said: "In the case of an emergency in the grain road, the Zhao people are bound to recapture Qi County at all costs." Therefore, the minister thought that if he continued to confront the Zhao army in Changping, he should send troops to aid Qi County. ”

"Good." Qingji's thoughts coincide with Wu Zixu. At this time, Uncle Cheng said with a smile in the imperial history: "King, after this battle, I am afraid that the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed." ”

"Now, Handan's Zhao army is trapped in Tian Sui Tho's headquarters and has become a lone army. The main force of the Zhao army in Changping was in internal and external difficulties, and if there was no more grain and straw to reach the front line, I am afraid it would not last long. ”

"As for Jinyang's side, I'm afraid that the Zhao people won't be able to take out too many troops. Even with Zhongshan Rong's help, Zhao Guo was unable to continue. "Kill Zhao?

According to Qingji's plan, it is to weaken Zhao and cripple Zhao Guo, so that Zhao Guo will have no chance to turn over. It's just that now it seems that Qingji can further destroy the Zhao State.

"My lord, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Before Qingji could speak, Fan Li, the imperial historian, stood up and said slowly: "The Zhao State is like the Qin State in the past, and the resistance is extremely fierce. Moreover, after years of reform and reform, Zhao Guoyi is strong, and his national strength is much stronger than that of Qianqin! ”

"If Zhao is destroyed, the Zhao people will inevitably not obey and will resist stubbornly. The divisions of the nations may not be able to attack our Great Wu Qunqun! ”

"Besides, to destroy Zhao, what I, Da Wu will take over, is bound to be a devastated Zhao State. It's not easy to ...... to govern."

"Therefore, the minister still believes that the king should continue to 'benefit the east and weaken the princes', and not suddenly launch a war to destroy Zhao." Hearing this, Qing Ji thought about it for a while, and he no longer dwelled on the matter of weakening Zhao or destroying Zhao.

"My Wu army has the victory of Qi County, a godsend. In order to avoid Zhao Renmeng from attacking Qi County, the battle situation will be reversed again, and the widow will personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to Qi County tomorrow. ”

"King, let's let the ministers go!" Wu Zixu took the initiative to ask.

"No, the widow wants to go to Qi County in person." Qingji waved his hand and said: "The current Zhao State is already at the end of the crossbow, even if it is a national army, no matter how much it is put together, it is useless." ”

"Soldier, the widow will hand over 3,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to you. When the Zhao army runs out of food and morale is greatly weakened, you immediately launch a full-scale attack! ”

"No!" Qingji is determined to go. On Changping's side, Wu Zixu originally had 100,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalry soldiers.

The Zhao army had 1450,000 soldiers and horses. However, the Zhao army, which was outnumbered, was on the defensive and did not dare to rush into battle.

After two months of fierce fighting, the Zhao army lost tens of thousands of casualties, and the casualties of the Wu army were not small. Qingji brought 50,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Changping this time, and then personally led 30,000 horses to Qi County, which can be said to make up for the battle losses of the Wu army in Changping.

Wu has a new army, but Zhao has no new army, and is firmly blocked in Qi County by Gongzizhang, so the Zhao army concentrated in Jinyang cannot go south to support Changping.
