Chapter 476: The forces of all parties are preparing for war

King Zhao will definitely move, not only because of his own limitations, but also because the people he trusts, the people around him, will also unanimously persuade him to move!

His favorite minister, Dr. Lou Chang, will persuade him to act quickly, and if it is not enough, there is also a Pingyang Jun who has been humiliated by himself.

As a member of the clan, Pingyang Jun, who has no strategic foresight, will tell King Zhao - Zhao Guo is the Zhao State of his Zhao King, the Zhao State of the clan, and the Zhao State of Zhao Kuo, which is not his Zhao Kuo!

And once King Zhao acts, he will eventually know that Zhao Guo is the Zhao State of Zhao people. Of course, although it is certain that King Zhao will definitely take action, but what kind of action King Zhao will take, Zhao Kuo can't grasp, after all, as far as King Zhao and his advisers are concerned, they are all people who don't understand military affairs, and it is really difficult to guess their thoughts.

In any case, as long as there is a large army in hand, Zhao Kuo can not be afraid of all kinds of changes in King Zhao - the truth of power in the barrel of a gun, Zhao Kuo still remembers it from time to time.

Zhao Kuo believes that the two generals Li Mu and Zhou Qi, who have been trained by themselves, can deal with all the conspiracies of King Zhao very well.

What's more, in Handan City, there is also a Dinghai God Needle-Lin Shangqing. Although he is seriously ill, although he seems to have long since stopped caring about the government.

But Zhao Kuo knew that as long as he was alive for a day, he would play a pivotal role in the court situation. No one knows how many means this dry old man still has hidden.

All those who despise Lin Shangqing will pay a price, a huge price. explained the plan, Zhao Kuo didn't keep the two anymore, sent the two away, and put on the armor again.

Fortunately, there is a good gold sore medicine in the army, otherwise the wound behind it will not be so easy to heal, and seeing that there is about to be a war, Zhao Kuo must prepare for the worst.

Although when I told the two of them, I said that the Yan army would not necessarily attack, but in the face of a city with only a few thousand people, I was in it, and it was a proper monument.

Everyone understands that as long as you can win yourself, no matter what method you use, you will be able to make a name for yourself immediately.

Maybe his prestige can deter him for a day or two, but when the Yan army has reconnoitred the reality in the city, no one will be able to resist this temptation.

So the fight is almost inevitable. Of course, Zhao Kuo is naturally prepared, whether it is Sun Gu or the heavily armored Mo sword soldiers, it will be a nightmare for the Yan army.

Soon, Remnant Yang could no longer stand Lang Yue's suppression, and ran down the mountain in a gloomy manner. There was a gray sky between heaven and earth.

And Zhao Kuo's army has also come to attack. Because of the curfew, the roads to the city were already empty, and only the sound of horses' hooves continued to echo in the city.

It's just that behind the half-hidden wooden doors, a pair of eyes are watching their heroes embark on the journey again.

"Oh the law", the war horse also seemed to feel a different gaze, and unconsciously snorted, as if saying goodbye to his fellow countrymen.

At the same time that Zhao Kuo's department finally moved, on the head of the city, Sun Gu was commanding the young men and soldiers in the city, constantly carrying arrows and rolling wood and stones to the city, and even the sergeants were pulling a cart to collect gold juice from house to house.

Although the materials have been piled up more and more, Sun Gu's face is not the slightest joy. Obviously, the scouts sent also brought the news that the Yan army's 60,000 troops were heading here.

And in Sun Gu's hands, after counting, even if you add the more than 400 people he brought, the real available soldiers in the city are only 5,000 people.

Among them, 1,000 were veterans, 3,000 were the troops that the general had recently arranged from the defense line of the Great Wall of Bailishi, and the few hundred men under him were drawn from the nearby small towns and fortresses.

The Yan State invaded on a large scale, and it was also the right thing to gather nearby troops. Obviously, the situation is a little better than Zhao Kuo imagined, but it is only a little bit.

Among the nearly 5,000 troops, the ones who can really fight, or can be called elite, are actually about 3,400 people.

That is, the 3,000 armor soldiers transferred from the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall and the personal soldiers of more than 400 generals under the command of Sun Gu.

As for the more than 1,000 people in the city itself, including the soldiers gathered nearby, their combat strength was actually quite limited, and they were only as good as the young men in the city.

5,000 against 60,000 is to hit a stone with an egg, not to mention that there are more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers, this battle is difficult to fight, and Sun Gu has already expected it.

One can only hope that the general will arrive as soon as possible. However, according to the footsteps, the general's team should be able to arrive in these two days, if it only lasts for a day or two, Sun Gu is still confident.

However, the king's order was to ask the general to immediately wave his troops south and gallop to help Handan. I don't know how the general is going to solve this problem.

Sun Gu shook his head and looked at the young men who were busy under the bonfire in the city. Speaking of Qingzhuang, this may be the only news that can make Sun Gu feel a little better.

Proud of the victory in the Battle of Changping, many people returned to Zhao, and some fled into Zhao from Korea, Wei and other places, many of whom were resettled by Shangdang and Hanoi, but there were also many people who thought that these two counties were still next to Qin and were not very safe, so they fled to the interior of Zhao.

But it's a pity that Shangdang and the second county of Hanoi, because of Zhao Kuo's Tuntian policy, naturally absorb the displaced people, but it does not mean that Zhao Tu in other regions also absorbs the displaced people, especially after arriving in Handan County, it is even more difficult, and even the city gate cannot be entered.

In desperation, the people could only return north. But the people suddenly discovered that although this city was a city in Handan County, it was to absorb the displaced people.

Then what else do you have to say, hurry up and stay! As a result, the city of this important military town finally ushered in his second spring.

In the face of the attack of the Yan army, this group of displaced people expressed a stronger obligation to join the army than the aborigines.

Can it not be strong! Like Shangdang County and Hanoi County, the displaced people who have been suffering for half their lives will never allow their good life to be ruined by the Yan army.

Of course, if it weren't for Sun Gu's arrival, the city guards of Yan and the city would really not dare to use these homeless people. But who is Sun Gu, that is the celebrity who followed Zhao Kuo, he had seen the general stroking his palms and celebrating after hearing that Zhao Wei was distributing food in Light Wolf City.

For these people, Sun Gu not only boldly activated, but also directly issued a military order: Anyone who helps the army to defend the city will be registered in Zhao!

Those who kill the Yan army will be rewarded! As soon as this order came out, the applicants gathered, and the originally insufficient young people were instantly expanded to more than 3,000 people, and even more young people are still constantly registering!

It is conservatively estimated that there will be at least 5,000 people in the young battalion set up by Sun Gu! In case of urgency, these 5,000 people may be able to resist one or two.

There was no way, the Yan army was still a few days away, and Sun Gu had to find a way to complete the fortifications as soon as possible.

Fortunately, there are these homeless people who are young and strong, and in just one day, the slightly dilapidated city wall has been repaired, and anyone who sees it must praise the majesty, and the next thing is to transport a group of defensive materials to the city tower.

The city head of the city is in full swing here, and the same is true of Handan City, which is hundreds of miles away, and on the more majestic city wall, war horses are rushing back and forth, sending bundles of arrows with military orders.

The originally noisy streets also became silent with the start of the curfew. But before he had taken two steps, he could hear the clanging of iron, which was the city's blacksmith working overtime to make arrows for the army.

It is still the sequelae of the Battle of Changping, not only the young and strong of Zhao State were injured by hundreds of thousands, but the arsenal of Handan City was also emptied, and after the victory of Changping, all the ministers of Handan thought that they could put Nanshan on horseback, so the arsenal was replenished in a timely manner.

After Pingyuanjun took over, he found that even the most deadly arrows were pitifully few.

You must know that in defensive warfare, especially in defensive warfare, bows and arrows are almost the most important equipment. It's too late for the other weapons, but this arrow is indispensable.

So, under the order of Pingyuan Jun, all the blacksmiths in Handan City worked in three shifts day and night to make arrows, and the entire Handan City immediately sounded the sound of clanging iron day and night.

This jingling movement, because there are too many, even the nobles in the courtyard of the deep mansion are unbearable, but no one complains to the king anymore, after all, no one is a fool, this matter involves the safety of the entire Handan City, and it is a blessing that Pingyuan Jun did not hold the responsibility for the emptiness of the arsenal.

In any case, the defense work of Handan City can be regarded as being carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of Pingyuanjun, and what everyone doesn't know is that more than 10,000 elite troops have been quietly transferred by Pingyuanjun to the deep mountains in the northwest corner.

In the north farther north, on the long galloping road, there are dozens of cavalry, one person and two horses, wielding the long whip in their hands, not caring about the war horse at all, and sprinting all the way towards the north of Handan.

It's an expedited military situation, and that's it! What they are carrying is the emergency military intelligence brought out of Handan City, and the person who leads them is Zhao Kuo's spokesperson in Handan City - Zhao Ping!

The spokesperson personally went out of the city, which shows the importance of this letter. They must convey Pingyuanjun's message to the general before the Yan army arrives in the city!

Compared with the Zhao army's faction, which was like a great enemy, the Yan army's march was obviously much easier. Although the sun had just set, the main force of King Yan's was already tired, and they were ready to start camping on the spot.

If you don't know, you still think that they are not here to fight at all, but to travel in autumn. There is no way, there are many troops, and they are so confident that even the partial division led by Qing Qin, even if they have Qing Qin's command, they still can't stop the fatigue in the army.

Seeing that the sky was darkening, the speed of the army's march unconsciously slowed down, and I was afraid that it would not be half an hour before they would have to camp on the spot.
