Chapter Seventy-Three: Zhao Jun and Li Mu
The snow was so heavy that you could drow's knees in one foot.
Wu County.
Yan Yan looked at the flying snowflakes, this was not even the coldest time of the year, it had already snowed so much, it seemed that the drought was followed by another snow disaster.
The Qin army, however, had already raised charcoal fires and cold-proof planks on the city walls, and most of the Qin troops who did not have garrison tasks were sheltered from the wind and cold in the barracks.
Such a weather march would only lead to more terrible consequences, and the army would be in deep disaster.
Liji appeared behind him, draped him in a wool coat, and traded with the wolf clan and Donghu to keep the Qin State from losing its ability to protect against the cold in the bitter cold.
Liki leaned into Yan Yan's arms, her eyes following him to the snowflakes flying in the sky.
Behind this beautiful view, it is not known how many people will lose their body temperature and sleep forever underground.
Liki: "Are you homesick?" ”
Yan Yan nodded, hugged Liji with his backhand and said softly, "Yes." ”
Liki: "Will the family miss you?" ”
Yan Yan: "Yes." ”
Liki looked up at him, "Then am I your family?" ”
Yan Yan looked down at the clear and translucent Liji, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Liki: "That way you are not alone, because I am by your side." ”
Yan Yan just nodded, still looking into the distance.
The whiteness of the snowflakes is like her ice-blue eye mask, crystal clear, and it can also shine brightly in the dark night.
The land of Zhao Yan Yuyang.
Yan Jun looked at Zhao Jun's camp, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief in this weather, I don't know what General Zhao Jun thought, they still have to fight in such weather, completely ignoring casualties.
The Hou who was sent out by Fan Yu came to report back.
"General, the Zhao army is still rearming and preparing for the siege."
Fan Yuzhi signaled that he knew, and asked Hou Yu to continue to explore the information.
Fan Yuzhi summoned the generals in the city and began to assign the task of defending the city, which was bound to stop the Zhao army under the city.
The Qin army had already begun to attack, and as long as it persisted, sooner or later the Zhao army would have to transfer its army to the battlefield where it was engaged with the Qin army, and that would be the time for a full-scale counterattack by the Yan army.
Zhao Jun camp.
Le Cheng looked at King Zhao's order, and still asked him to continue the attack, and he must beat the Yan army back before spring ploughing, so as to free up his hands to counterattack the Qin army.
Lecheng's whole person trembled with anger, he still had to march in such a cold weather, who was proposing such a stupid plan in the middle of the court.
The Zhao army, which went to support, still marched at a faster pace under the leadership of Li Mu, and the orders from Handan were one after another, without considering the difficulty of the cold weather for the march.
All the letters sent by Li Mu to Handan were like mud cows into the sea, and they were missing.
"General."
Li Mu: "What's the matter?" ”
"General, the snow is too thick, and many soldiers and horses have begun to suffer from frostbite, and if you continue to march, I am afraid that an accident will happen."
Li Mu "gave the order to go down and camp for two days, and the fire could not be broken within two days, and the cold was pressing." ”
"Yes."
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no time to stop.
In the land of Yuyang, the Zhao army began to attack the Yan army again, and the Yan army poured water and frozen ice according to the order, and the land under the city was frozen into a piece of extremely hard ice.
The siege equipment of the Zhao army was slippery and difficult to transport to the city, and the siege effect did not have much significance.
Wu County.
Yan Yan received information from Zhao Yan and the two countries, and there was no surprise in the outcome of the war, except for the huge momentum, the result of the battle did not change at all.
The city wall defended by the Yan army was tall, and because of the weather, the city wall was even more difficult to climb, the roads were muddy, and the large cloud carts were difficult to push, and the siege was only increasing casualties.
Korea.
Zhao Gao looked at Tian Ze and asked him to tell everything he knew, otherwise he would kill him.
Tian Ze looked at Zhao Gao, the chains used as weapons on his body had all broken in his hands, and he was not his opponent.
Zhao Gao looked at Tian Ze unmoved, and the broken sword tip in his hand shot directly towards Tian Ze.
Tian Ze turned around and dodged the blow that shot straight to the heart, but the tip of the sword still passed through his left shoulder and was embedded in the trunk of the tree.
[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Tian Ze felt the injury on his left hand, turned around and began to flee.
He can't die yet, at least not just here.
Zhao Gao chased after him slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse before it hunted a mouse.
The birds and quicksand, who were always paying attention to Tianze's movements, knew the news that Tianze was being hunted down for the first time.
Wei Zhuang left Zilanxuan, Han Fei had an explanation, Tianze couldn't just die like this.
Bai Yifei rushed towards Tianze's position with Mo Crow and other members of the hundred birds.
For the Baiyue treasure, the night is still extremely interested, and they don't want to give it up like this.
Wei State Liang.
The Star Spirit found the Moon God.
The moon god had already done what needed to be done before the arrival of the star soul, which made the star soul unhappy, and everything was crushed.
Xianyang.
Ying Zheng led his ministers in the winter festival, heralding the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.
Qin Wangzheng was eleven years old, Yingzheng was twenty-three years old, and Yan Yan was thirty-six years old.
Liu Yang Mansion.
Flame Lingji gave birth to a baby girl, and according to Yan Yan's original arrangement, she was named Yan Xuan.
Wu County.
The snow has melted and spring has arrived.
Under Yan Yan's order, the Qin army continued to march and sent troops towards the great city of Que and He.
Wang Jian also began to attack Anyang. The Qin army was divided into two ways to clear the Zhao army in this place at the same time, expanding its own warring state.
When the news reached Yuyang, the Yan army, which had been forced by the Zhao army to the border of Yuyang, once again regained its morale, pushed the battle line back, and recaptured the three cities.
After discussing with Li Mu, Le Cheng, who served as the main general of the Yan attack, decided to attack the Yan army on a large scale and completely control the land of Yuyang.
So the 100,000 Zhao army and the 200,000 Zhao army of Yuyang that the two came to support, Zhao State launched a continuous attack on the Yan army with the whole army of 300,000, without stopping at all.
The Qin army did not rest, and on this spring ploughing occasion, it launched a frantic attack on the territory of Que He, Anyang, Yangyi, and Yu in the area of Zhangshui, which was close to Zhangshui from the five cities.
Que and the city.
The Qin army used catapults and giant crossbows to shoot continuously for a day before smashing the walls of this majestic city.
The Zhao army in the city resisted fiercely, and the Qin army paid the greatest casualties since the beginning of the war to take the city.
After that, the Qin army in Yangyi City changed its tactics, and the whole process was attacked by giant crossbow good people catapults, and then the Qin army fired crossbow arrows outside the city towards the city, forcing the Zhao army to go out of the city and surrender.
Consider the city.
The Qin army has already begun to set up a formation under the city here, and will next launch a siege battle against the city.
Yan Yan looked at the city wall is not much lower than Que and the city of Yu, which is a relatively famous and important place, after occupying this city, half of the Taiyuan of Zhao State fell into the hands of the Qin army.
Han Song: "Master, is this city still going to be destroyed?" ”
Yan Yan "will be ruined, as long as this city can be taken in a short time, it will be a good thing." ”
Han Song: "The last general understands, so let's arrange it." ”
Yan Yan pointed to an open area of plains and said, "Let Hou Xun go and explore the terrain and environment there, so as not to lay a trap that is unfavorable to the cavalry army." ”
Han Song looked at the flat land, nodded and left.
It is still the beginning of catapults and giant crossbows, more than 80 catapults and a hundred giant crossbows, and at the same time launched an attack on the city of Kuyu, which is worthy of being the important place of the Zhao army, and the city is equipped with many equipment to defend the city, which blocked part of the cannonballs fired by the catapults and fell under the city wall, and the spears of the giant crossbow were also broken.
Yan Yan watched this scene, without any ups and downs, still letting the catapult and the giant crossbow launch in unison.
The attacks of the two will always fall on the top of the city, taking the lives of a large number of Zhao troops nearby.
The Qin army attacked for a morning, and there was still no trace of the city being broken, Yan Yan ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and the siege that entered the city ended in this way.
Tent of the Chinese military camp.
Yan Yan sat on top of the list.
"During today's siege, I noticed something at the lookout."
Yan Yan looked at everyone and continued: "That is, there is actually a disciple of the Mo family on the city wall. ”
Only then did many generals react, and the figure of the disciples of the Mo family appeared on the city wall of Zhao State, this news is really ironic.
"So the plan of the project needs to be changed. ”
Han Song: "Master, then what should we do next." ”
Yan Yan came to Kanyutu and pointed to Zhangshui, "Since the disciples of the Mo family have come to help Zhao Guo defend the city, a hard attack will only increase the proportion of our casualties. ”
"Zhangshui, as the main source of water in the city, cut it off, so that there is no water available in the city."
Han Song looked at the location where Yan Yan pointed his finger, there was the area where the Zhangshui water flowed, and one of them was flowing to the city of Yu.
Yan Yan "sent someone to build a dam here, and put this water source on his fence, and the city could naturally be broken." ”
Han Song "understands, the last general will take people to this place." ”
Yan Yan: "Yan Nan, you led two thousand cavalry to ambush here, in case the Zhao army in the city of Yu went out of the city to grab the water source. ”
Yan Nan: "The end will understand. ”
Yan Yan "The rest of the people organized a siege of the city every two days to harass the Zhao army. ”
"Understood."
The Qin army's movements were very fast, Han Song arrived at the five thousand Qin troops that night and rushed to the location Yan Yan said, and Yan Nan also led two thousand heavy cavalry to the designated place to ambush.
During this period, Wang Jian sent news that Yu had taken the city.
Yan Yan asked Wang Jian to return to Jinyang with his army and start an attack to the north.
Seven days later, the Zhao army in the city left the city and followed the water source upstream.
Yan Nan led 2,000 cavalry troops to engage it, scattered 3,000 Zhao troops, killed 1,000 enemies, and captured 500.
On the eighth day, the gate of the city was opened, and the Zhao army in the city began to attack the Qin army, and the Qin army, which had been prepared, launched a counterattack.
The 2,000 heavy cavalry troops who remained in the barracks began to show their strength on the battlefield.
Charging the Zhao army unscrupulously, dividing them into small pieces, and then being killed by the cavalry.
When the war was over, after leaving the city, the Zhao army fled back to the city, and most of them fell under the hooves of the heavy cavalry and turned into dust.
On the ninth day, the Qin army launched a general attack on the city of Kuyu, and after a morning of catapults and giant crossbows, the cloud shield on the city wall of Kuyu was completely shattered, and then the city wall was destroyed.
The Qin army began to advance towards the city wall, and the counteroffensive of the Zhao army was no longer as fierce as it was on the first day.
At dusk, the banner on the city wall of Xianyu turned into a black banner of the Qin State.
Most of the Mo family disciples in the city fled, and those who stayed behind were also some low-level disciples, so they couldn't ask anything.
At this time, spring has come to an end and summer has begun.
Outside the city, the bodies of the soldiers of both armies were burned in flames, forever becoming one with the land.
The monument of the Qin soldiers erected in the city tells the bravery of the Qin soldiers who died in this war and records their exploits.
Yan Yan looked at the sun above the sky, it was just summer, and there was already a midsummer atmosphere, which was unusual.
Yan Yan wrote a war report to Xianyang, and at the same time asked Xianyang to pay attention to the unusual weather conditions this year and pay attention to the agricultural mulberry in the territory of Qin, so as to avoid the aggravation of the disaster.
Ying Zheng looked at the battle report and advice in his hand, and passed the order.
At the same time, the Korean Zheng Guo also came with news that in about two months, the channel that runs through the two rivers will be able to open to water.
After Ying Zheng learned about it, he decided to go to the place of the canal in person to watch the water flow.
Liu Yang Mansion.
The startled salamander looked at the crowd and said, "Is there anything else I need to bring?" ”
Yukihime: "After arriving, I can take care of my son." ”
The salamander nodded and said, "I will." ”
Yukihime: "Okay, be careful all the way." ”
The startled salamander looked at the crowd and said, "Then I'll go." ”
Yan Li looked at the startled salamander and said, "Mother, be careful all the way." ”
"Say hello to my father."
The startled salamander touched the top of Yan Li's head and said, "Listen to the words of the eldest lady carefully, study carefully and know." ”
Yan Li: "Li'er knows. ”
The startled salamander rode away and galloped away in the direction of Kamishire.
Consider the city.
Yan Yan looked at Kanyu Tu and said, "Next, march straight along the north, until Taiyuan is completely in the bag." ”
"At that time, the west will enter Wu'an, force Handan City, and destroy the Zhao State."
Everyone looked at the direction of Yan Yan's finger, went north to encompass the entire Taiyuan, and then gathered troops to march west to Wu'an, approaching Handan City behind.
Yan Yan: "Han Song, you lead your troops to continue to the north to destroy the rest of the Zhao army. ”
Han Song: "The last general commanded. ”
Yan Yan: "Yannan, you lead an army to the northeast and attack the cities along the way. ”
Yan Nan "The last general commanded. ”
Yan Yan "sent an order to Wang Jian and asked him to mobilize his troops to Que and attack the city of Xindu. ”
"Yes."
Yan Yan: "I'll go to the Wu'an area and observe the situation first. ”
"Let's do it."
"Yes."
The Qin army began to move again, rushing towards the Zhao army in various cities, striving to wipe out all the Zhao army's military strength in Taiyuan.
When Zhao learned of the movements of the Qin army, King Zhao was extremely terrified.
The Qin army seemed to be coming straight to Handan, so he ordered Li Mu to lead the army back to defend Handan, so as not to be attacked by the Qin army in Handan.
The land of the fishing sun.
The Zhao army had completely driven the Yan army out, and the entire Yuyang area fell into the hands of the Zhao army.
However, the generals of the Zhao army did not have the slightest happy look, the offensive of the Qin army made the Zhao State Taiyuan gone, and now even Handan is under the threat of the Qin army.
Li Mu received the order of the king of Zhao and immediately led the Zhao army to Wu'an City, which must not be lost.
