Chapter 121: The First Battle

The more than 200,000 troops did not set off without saying that they would set off, and when all the armaments and food were ready, they sent Le Yi, Tian Dan, and Lian Po away, and it had been three days since they received the information.

At this time, Zhao Kuocai arranged everything properly, led the army to leave Handan, and went all the way north.

……

"Report ~ General! Twenty miles ahead, the vanguard of the Yan army was found. The scout came from a distance, rolled over and dismounted, got down on one knee, and hugged his fists.

When Zhao Kuo was still arranging government affairs in Handan, he had already asked Yan Zhou to lead 10,000 cavalry, with only five days of grain and grass, and galloped all the way to the front.

"So fast!" Yan Zhou frowned, in front of him was the Hu (hū) pool, which was already more than two hundred miles away from the Yan-Zhao border, and the Yan army actually hit here, which meant that the Yan army almost encountered any resistance along the way.

But it's normal to think about it, Zhao Guozhuang Ding is either on the Great Wall or on the front line, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in various places, and it is difficult to organize an effective defense in the face of the Yan army.

"What banner is Yan Jun flying?" Yan Zhou asked.

"Rong." The scout clenched his fists and said.

"Rong!" Yan Zhou's eyes lit up. "That looks like a fén."

This name Yan Zhou can remember for a lifetime!

Rong Yi was a native of the Song State, and after the Song State was destroyed, he went north to join the Yan State, and was named Gaoyang Jun by the King of Yan, and led the army to attack the Zhao State.

It was at this time that Zhao Guo gave the Gaotang and other cities that Yan Zhou had defeated to Qi Guo and exchanged Tian Dan.

Yan Zhou's biggest achievement in his life was to capture Gaotang for Zhao State, which was one of the five capitals of Qi State, not everyone could beat it, and it could make him blow for a lifetime, but he was returned to Qi by King Zhao like this, which made him remember it until now, and he was a little dissatisfied with King Zhao in his heart.

After that, Ma Fujun Zhao Hao found Zhao Sheng and said that there were many generals in Zhao State, why did he go to Qi State to change a field order? I used to be a Gu Shou in Yan Kingdom, and I know what the situation is in Yan Kingdom, so you really can't use me. Tian Dan is a general of the Qi State, and he will definitely find a way to consume the strength of the Zhao State and the Yan State, and he will not fight well.

Zhao Hao wanted to use Zhao Sheng to spread these words to King Zhao's ears, but King Zhao was defending him, how could he make him a general.

In the end, as Zhao Hao expected, Tian Dan only won three small cities, which together were not as good as one Gaotang!

Although there is more than one person surnamed Rong in Yan Guo, there is only one general surnamed Rong who can handle it.

Yan Zhou was almost certain that the vanguard of the Yan army was Rong Yi.

"I didn't have a chance to beat you before, but now I finally have a chance." Yan Zhou said excitedly.

In Yan Zhou's opinion, if Zhao Guo lost Gao Tang, Rong Yan would be at least half responsible, if it wasn't for him to attack Zhao State, Zhao State would not have been able to send Gao Tang to Qi State.

"Command the whole army, speed up the march, and prepare for the attack."

Yan Zhou said loudly, a blue light bloomed on his body, and the whole person became a little crazy, and the wind storm enveloped the whole army, and he quickly rushed forward.

"I thought that even if I wasn't dismissed after returning to Handan, I would have to have a chance to lead the troops in a few years, but now that the king has given me this opportunity, then use your head as a gift and dedicate it to the king!"

The distance of twenty miles was only fleeting for the cavalry, and there was a slight tremor from the earth, from far to near, and then, a gray torrent appeared on the horizon, approaching the Yan army.

"Zhao Jun!"

Rong Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands subconsciously grasped the spear. The scout has just returned, and the report has found the traces of Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun's hind feet have appeared here, which means that the elite level of Zhao Jun has reached the level of Yan Jun's scouts!

Not one or two, but a whole ten thousand!

"Array! The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are in the back. ”

With a move of both hands, Rong Yi covered the whole army without moving like a mountain formation, and the war clouds in the sky continued to roll, suppressing the aura of heaven and earth.

Since Sun Wu's battle formations were scattered all over the world, and after Sun Bin split them, the four battle formations of the Wind Volcanic Forest have become a battle formation that generals of all countries must learn.

Looking at the gray torrent from far and near, the legs of many soldiers of the Yan Army were trembling. As vanguards, they are different from the soldiers in the rear who have just put down their hoes and taken up arms, and do not understand anything.

They have experienced a lot of big wars, and they know that all the wars between Yan and Zhao over the years have not won once, and all of them have ended in failure!

Zhao is brave and invincible! It is the consensus of all Yan troops.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Sangkook is right behind, so he'll be able to come right away. Rong Yan seemed to feel the downward momentum, and immediately shouted.

"Bow and arrow wind!"

The corners of Yan Zhou's mouth curled, and he sneered in his heart, the infantry still wanted to form a formation to block the elite cavalry, did they really think that they were the black armor army of the Qin State?

"Shoot the arrows!"

When the distance between the two sides was only about 100 steps, Yan Zhou roared, and a blue light enveloped the whole army, and the overwhelming rain of arrows washed the ground towards the Yan army.

At this time, the cavalry of various countries was still in its infancy, and it was not easy to be able to ride on a horse without falling off.

With the help of the cavalry's super high movement speed, the arrows emitting blue light easily penetrated the armor of the Yan soldiers, sinking into the flesh and blood, splashing a series of blood flowers.

Under the effect of Yan Zhou's talent, all the arrows missed and hit the enemy, and none of the arrows fell to the ground, at least on the Yan army's big shield.

At the same time, Yan Jun also let go of the bowstring in his hand, and a rain of arrows burst out towards Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun relies on the saddle and stirrups, and the upper body can make any flexible movements, coupled with the super high movement speed, it can easily clear most of the arrows.

However, there are still some soldiers in the south who are not strong or unlucky, and they fall to the ground with arrows, but compared to the casualties of the Yan army, they are almost negligible.

In the next moment, Yan Zhou led the Zhao army to plunge into the Yan army, tearing open the Yan army's defense line like tearing a rag, and the azure light swirled around Yan Zhou's body, "Poof! The spear in his hand swept out, and a thousand Yan soldiers were instantly split into two halves.

Yan Zhou did not look back, but increased his speed again and rushed towards the Yan army commander's banner, the spear kept swinging, killing a bloody path, even if there was the suppression of the war clouds, none of these Yan generals were Yan Zhou's opponents.

The cavalry of the Zhao army followed closely, like a group of Menghu rushing into the flock, opening their bloody mouths and biting towards the Yan army.

"Shrink the line." Rong Worm roared.

I have long known that the cavalry of Zhao State is powerful, and I never thought that it would be so powerful! A single charge crushed the Yan army, and even the rain of arrows was ineffective.

Rong Yan looked at the two gadgets under the feet of the Zhao cavalry and the things under the buttocks, although he didn't understand the cavalry, but just now he clearly saw that the Zhao cavalry relied on those two gadgets to stand up.

"If I can get it from Yan Kingdom, wouldn't I be able to have cavalry as powerful as Zhao Kingdom!"

There is no shortage of horses in Yan country, and other countries need to consume a lot of national finance every year in order to raise horses, and special personnel must be arranged to be responsible for horse administration and manage horses.

Yan Guo only needs to fight Donghu, and he can have as many horses as he wants.

The leaders of the Donghu tribes are the free horse officials of the Yan Kingdom.

At this time, the screams that kept sounding on the battlefield told Rong Yan that those things were all in the future, and it was a question of whether he could go back alive now!

In the air, the battle clouds of the Zhao army set off huge waves, sweeping towards the surroundings like the raging waves of the sea, suppressing the Yan army's war clouds and disappearing.

The Yan army was divided into small pieces by the Zhao army, like a lamb in captivity being slaughtered by a butcher.

Some of the Yan soldiers collapsed and fled frantically in all directions, but where could they outrun the four-legged cavalry with two feet, all that awaited them was a big sword falling from the sky.

"Die!"

With Yan Zhou's loud shout, the flag guard officer and the Yan army commander flag were divided into two, and the last battle cloud representing the Yan army in the sky also disappeared, and the momentum of the Yan army directly fell to the extreme.

Rong Yan desperately commanded his soldiers to block the Zhao army, however, except for the personal soldiers around him, the other soldiers had long since stopped obeying orders. He tried to hold up the battle clouds several times, but was crushed by Yan Zhou.

If it weren't for the fact that in the face of the cavalry that was galloping wildly, it would be useless to surrender even if it knelt on the ground, and the Yan army would have surrendered on its knees a long time ago.

Yan Zhou rushed to the front of Rong Worm, and with a flick of the spear, a ray of light more than ten meters long swept out, knocking Rong Worm out and slamming it on the ground, motionless.

"Tie up!"

Yan Zhou glanced at Rong Yan, he had already regained his strength just now, and whether he could survive or not depended on the other party's creation.

"Surrender or kill!" Yan Zhou yelled at Yan Jun.

"Surrender or kill!" All Zhao Jun roared in unison.

Seeing this, Yan Jun knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender!"

"Leave a thousand men to guard the captives, and the rest will continue the attack with me!" Yan Zhou shook the spear in his hand, pointed forward, and said excitedly.

……

In the Yan army camp, the prime minister of Yan was talking with the envoy of Qin, and the two of them were full of smiles.

"Xiangguo is really Yunwen Yunwu, and in just a few days, he conquered the land of Zhao State for hundreds of miles, even if the king of Changguo Le Yi was afraid that he could not reach it." Qin envoy complimented.

"Hahaha, it's just luck, where can Chang Guojun be compared to his belly." Chestnut hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Since the expedition, the Yan army has gone all the way south to Huchi, without encountering any obstacles, and the king of Yan has continued to send letters of praise in the rear, and even promised that after destroying the Zhao State, he will be crowned king, and Li Bei couldn't help but get a little carried away in his heart.

Next to him, his face was gloomy as water, his hands were clenched, and his joints were a little pale. The title of Chang Guojun belonged to his father Le Yi back then, and now it belongs to him. When the two talked like this, not only did they not take him seriously in the slightest, but they could even be said to be insulting him and his father.

"Boom!"

Le Jian strode in front of Qin Envoy, cut several eucalyptus in front of him in half with a knife, pointed the tip of the knife at Qin Envoy's neck, and said viciously: "Ben will hear you say a word insulting to your father again, you will die here." ”

If it weren't for the fear that killing the Qin envoy would lead to a bad relationship between Qin and Yan, Le Jian would have killed him with a knife a long time ago, even if King Yan knew about it, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

Killing people for filial piety is justified!

Qin Envoy felt a terrifying chill emanating from the tip of the knife, which might pierce his neck at any time, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

He swore that he really didn't mean to insult Le Yi, but there were not many generals in Yan Guo who could handle it for hundreds of years, so he just used Le Yi to praise his chestnut belly, and he forgot for a while that Le Jian was here.

"What is this doing, General Rakuma? Put the knife down. Chestnut was taken aback, and quickly got up to stop Rakuma.

Rakuma glanced at Chestnut Belly with resentment, put away the big knife, and turned around and walked outside.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, Le Jian finally reminded Li Belly: "The main force of the Zhao army has not yet been dispatched, Xiangguo had better be careful and not get carried away." ”

"The commander doesn't need the general to worry, but since the general is so afraid of the Zhao army, then there is no need to fight." Chestnut said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhao, and the destruction of Zhao was already a sure thing, even if Zhao Kuo Leyi's group of people was powerful, it would be impossible to defeat the Five Nations Alliance.

The fact that he has not encountered any resistance along the way proves that if Zhao Guo really had the strength, it would have been sent out a long time ago!

Now Le Jian is still stubborn, and even threatens Qin Envoy in front of him, even if he has a good temper, he can't continue to tolerate it.

"Xiangguo, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." Just then, a scout rushed in in a panic.

Rakuma suddenly stopped.

"What kind of system is it to be so flustered." Chestnut reprimanded.

"Xiangguo, the front line is defeated!" The scout didn't bother to defend himself, and said loudly.

"What! How could the front line be defeated! Chestnut was taken aback, his face was incredulous, "Rong Worm!" ”

"General Rong has been captured, and the soldiers are ...... The soldiers have all surrendered, and the vanguard of the Zhao army has crossed the Huchi. The scout said.

"How is this possible?" Chestnut sat in his seat paralyzed, and suddenly felt that Feng Jun seemed to be far away from him.

After a while, the chestnut belly suddenly got up and said loudly: "Order the whole army, follow me to meet the Zhao army." ”

"At this time, we must not attack, the Zhao army is elite, we should consolidate the camp and weaken the morale of the Zhao army." Rakuma hurriedly stopped.

The quality of the Yan army and the Zhao army is not of the same grade at all, and the defensive battle is slowly trained Yan Guo still has some hope, and the attack will undoubtedly lose.

"Are you the manager or am I the manager?" Chestnut asked in a deep voice.

……

"It is worthy of being the second only famous general of my Zhao State before General Lian Po, not only won a complete victory in the first battle, but also captured the Yan Army Pioneer Rong Oyster!"

During the march, Zhao Kuo grabbed the battle report and said happily.

"Congratulations, the king." Liu Ping said.

"Is there any news from Daijun?" Zhao Kuo asked.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Li Bo, the county guard, asked for help, and Zhao Kuo knew that this time Yan Guo was divided into two routes, one with Li's belly as the main general, and Lejian and Rong Yan as deputy generals, leading an army of 150,000 to invade the hinterland of Zhao State.

All the way, with Qing Qin as the main general and Ju Xin as the deputy general, he commanded 100,000 troops to attack Zhao Guodai County.

Daijun is far away from Handan, and when the infantry rushes over, the daylilies are cold, and Zhao Kuo can only send Yan Ju to lead Zhao Feicai to support, and at the same time let Li Mu lead the Great Wall guards south to resist the Yan army.

The Great Wall originally had an army of 50,000, and there was an army of 50,000 brought over by Li Mu, and half of the army went south, and it was not a problem to resist the Yan army.

"Not yet." Liu Ping shook his head.

"Order the whole army to speed up and rush to Huchi within three days." Zhao Kuo ordered.
