Chapter 423: The Two Kings in the Same Car

"Judging from the speed of Zhao Jia's northward journey, he may be in Anyangyi in front of him, or he has just left."

Meng Tian wiped the cart and stood on the chariot, looking at a city in the distance.

Zhao Jia thought that with the danger of Daicheng and the dead soldiers in the city, it was enough to withstand the siege of the Qin army for several days, and the Qin army needed to repair the city after breaking the city, which would definitely take a while.

Therefore, they did not rush north, but forcibly recruited Ding Zhuang and collected food all the way, slowing down the speed of escape. After all, there are few people on behalf of the land, and if he doesn't levy Ding here, he will have no one in the north, and he will have no food.

But this time also gave Meng Tian a chance to catch up with them.

It's just that Meng Tian has some worries in his heart.

"Anyang is the fief of the prince of Zhao in the past, with a large population, and it is a big town north of the city, if the people in the city cooperate with Zhao Jia and want to annihilate it, it will be a little troublesome, and you should be careful about this trip."

Half an hour later, Meng Tian's worries were gone, and his face was full of astonishment.

Because it was different from what he imagined, Anyangyi closed the city gates, and the people in the city held weapons and defended themselves.

Before he got closer, he could hear a faint cry coming from Anyangyi.

As for the city gate, it was even more open, after seeing the arrival of the Qin army's chariot, the rich in the city did not avoid the danger, knelt outside the city gate and kowtowed, saying that they were willing to surrender to the Qin army.

"Where is Zhao Jia?"

Meng Tian strode over, his tall body casting a shadow in front of the city gate.

A wealthy man in Anyang cried out in elegant words: "Zhao Jia's thieves, regardless of the feelings of the monarch and ministers, actually colluded with those Hu people to plunder the countryside, not only forcibly recruited the men in my city, but also robbed a lot of food and property, my son stopped them, and they actually killed my son on the spot." Zhao Jia and I will never be separated! ”

The others said to Meng Tianji: "General, we only hope that the general can lead the king to capture and kill that Zhao Jia and expel the Hu people." If we can save the men who were conscripted in our city from dying, we will sincerely return to the Qin State and never repeat it. ”

"Yes, general, please capture Zhao Jia and expel the Hu people!"

"Then Zhao Jia and the Huns have just walked for less than half an hour, if the general pursues immediately, he will definitely be able to catch up!"

Outside the city gate, the rich and noble of Anyang wept and worshipped.

They are the rich and noble people of Anyangyi, with a lot of wealth and food, and under the joint raid of Zhao Jia and the Huns, the loss is also the greatest, so they all hate the acting king to the core.

After these rich people, the common people in the city who had been plundered by the Dai army and the Huns also came out, and they kowtowed to the Qin army one after another, begging Meng Tian to lead the army to hunt down and kill Zhao Jia.

When Meng Tian saw this scene, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a righteous attitude: "Don't worry, Zhao Jia will not let him go if he does this treacherous thing." Su Jiao! ”

"The last general!"

When Su Jiao heard the call, he immediately walked over and promised him.

"Send fast horses to report the general's military situation here, and leave two hundred men stationed in Anyang to protect my rear road and meet the general's army. After the rest of the car was ridden and eaten, he immediately went on the road to pursue, this time, he was going to capture that Zhao Jia! ”

"Yui!"

……

To the north of Anyang, the water flows slowly.

This water is muddy like yellow soup, the riverbed is uncertain, and it is called the Yellow Water River in later generations.

Because this section of the water is not wide and turbulent, the locals have a wooden bridge over the river for north-south travel, but this wooden bridge is not wide, and it can only be used by two horses at a time, or a car can slow through.

At this moment, on the banks of this Zhishui River, an army composed of Dai and Hu people is crossing the river through a wooden bridge.

The Hun cavalry walked in front and had crossed the bridge first.

The remaining more than 2,000 generations of soldiers still have to transport the food they ate along the way, and the speed is relatively slow, lagging behind, and they are slowly crossing the river.

Several of the senior members of the army had already reached the north shore first, and they climbed a dirt slope to get a good view of the army slowly crossing the bridge.

"The acting king is still too benevolent and righteous, Anyang is a big city, with a population of nearly 10,000, as long as we burn all the grain and straw in the city, leaving these nearly 10,000 hungry people to the Qin army, it will be a great benefit."

On the dirt slope, Yan Wangxi remembered his rejected proposal, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.

On the side, Chen Yu nodded and said, "King Yan's strategy is indeed good. Now the grain in the ground is not yet mature, and a fire burns the grain stored in Anyang, and the people of Anyang have no food to eat. ”

"In this way, not only can the Qin army not be able to collect grain on the spot when it arrives, but the Qin army wants to stabilize the hearts of the local people, and it has to use its own military food to feed the people of Anyang, so that the Qin army will not continue to have food and grass."

"If Zhao Tuo is stingy with food and is unwilling to release grain to the people, then the people's hearts will not return to Qin, so that even if the Qin army goes north to chase us, it will be difficult to stabilize the rear, this is really a strategy to kill two birds with one arrow."

"Although Anyang has passed, there are still a few cities north of the water. In my opinion, it is better to burn all the grain and straw in the cities that cannot be defended, and leave it to the Qin army to worry about. If the acting king is afraid of tarnishing his reputation, he can lead the acting army to go first and hand over the burning of grain to the Huns, so that he can constantly weaken the Qin army......"

Hearing this, Dai Wang Jia Tie said with a blushing face: "I am a descendant of the Zhao family, I can't defend the land for the country, but I want to go to the Hu people, I have lost the face of my ancestors, and An Neng will burn the people's grain again. King Yan and Jun Chen don't want to say this again. ”

Chen Yu shrugged and closed his mouth.

He is a Wei person, and Wei does not have a border with the Xiongnu, let alone any hatred, so Chen Yu has no aversion to the alliance with the Xiongnu.

As for burning the food of the generation, it didn't matter to him, a Wei person, as long as it could cause trouble to the Qin army, he was willing to do it.

Yan Wangxi looked at Dai Wang Jiazhi and frowned, and there was already dissatisfaction in his eyes.

This kid can't let go of his moral code and can't recognize the situation.

Dai Wang Jia didn't care about the eyes of the two, and only looked into the distance in a daze.

There, a teenager who had just been forcibly recruited from Anyang, when crossing the bridge, seemed to think that he was about to leave his hometown and be with the Hu people, so he couldn't help crying and wanted to turn around and go back.

The pawn on his side scolded, and the young man acted angrily, which turned into a fight.

In a short time, the boy's body was thrown under the bridge to control the water, and the muddy yellow water flowed into the distance.

"Leaving the homeland and fleeing north, it fell to the point of relying on the Hu people...... My Generation...... My Zhao Clan...... How did it get to this point? ”

"If the former king did not abolish my position as the crown prince and let me take over as the king of Zhao, how could today's things happen."

Dai Wangjia saw the scene in the distance, and thought of the magnificent scene when the Zhao State was strong in the past, and couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, looking up to the sky and shouting.

"Woohoo, the death of Zhao Guo is really due to the fact that the first king has no eyes, and he is abolished and young! The first king misunderstood the country, and Zhao Qian misunderstood the country! ”

Just when Dai Wang Jia beat his chest and cried sadly.

The army that was crossing the river on the water suddenly became confused, and all kinds of screams came and went.

"Qin Jun!"

"It's Qin Jun coming!"

The cries of fear echoed through the field.

Dai Wangjia immediately wiped away his tears and turned his head to look.

If I really saw the direction of Anyang, there was smoke and dust billowing in the sky, and there was a black-armored knight looming in the flying dust.

"Qin Jun? How did Qin Jun come so fast! ”

Dai Wang Jia was shocked.

"Destroy the wooden bridge!"

Chen Yu shouted.

Dai Wang Jia also reacted, and immediately ordered the short soldiers on his side: "Quickly let people destroy the wooden bridge and prevent the Qin army from crossing the river." ”

The command is correct.

Destroy the wooden bridge, and the Qin army will not be able to cross the river.

But at this moment, the Dai sergeant was pushing the cart loaded with grain and slowly crossing the bridge, seeing the smoke and dust billowing behind, the Qin army chariot was approaching, those who were on the bridge, or still on the south bank, panicked one by one, and all rushed to the bridge, everyone wanted to cross the bridge to flee north, plus the car jam and horse jumping, resulting in a very chaotic scene.

No one listened to Dai Wangjia's order to destroy the wooden bridge. Not to mention that when everyone is fighting for their lives to cross the bridge, if they want to destroy the bridge, the first one will be hacked to death by the person who crossed the bridge.

At this time, the Qin army's chariots on the south bank of the water were about to rush to the side of the bridge.

On the north bank, the Hun cavalry has always been known as advancing when it sees advantage, retreating when it is unfavorable, and does not flee ashamedly.

They saw that the Qin army on the south bank had a large number of chariots and horses, and they were well-equipped, so they had no fighting spirit, and they fled straight away under the shouts of their thousand commanders.

As for the more than 2,000 substitute soldiers, some of them were willing to fight to the death with the Qin army, but more of them only cared about fleeing for their lives.

Not to mention that there are hundreds of generations of people who have just gathered from Anyang and several villages and forcibly conscripted. They didn't have the heart to do their best, and at this time, they seized the opportunity one by one to escape from the chaos, making the scene more and more chaotic.

"Run!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yan Wangxi screamed, and regardless of Dai Wangjia and Chen Yu who were standing next to him, he immediately ran down the dirt slope.

Dai Wang Jia and Chen Yu also reacted, and immediately followed behind Yan Wangxi and went downhill to find a horse to escape.

But at this time, because of the appearance of the Qin army, the scene was too chaotic, whether it was the Huns or the generations, they were all running in all directions, and the short soldiers who were originally waiting under the dirt slope saw that the situation was not good, and they rushed to get on their horses and escape.

Chen Yu was young and fast, and after seeing the short soldiers fleeing, there was still a horse spinning in place, and he immediately rushed over and turned over on his horse, and ran away.

Dai Wang Jia fell behind and went down the dirt slope, but there was no horse to ride.

"Where's the horse?"

"Where's my horse!"

"I'm the acting king, let me get on the horse!"

Dai Wangjia was shocked and wanted to let those who fled on horseback give up their war horses to him to escape.

The fleeing Huns did not bird him at all, as for the generations, after Anyang and the previous looting of the villages, Dai Wangjia had already lost the military spirit among the soldiers under his command.

In addition, now that the Qin army has arrived on the south bank, everyone is thinking of fleeing for their lives, and even his short soldiers on behalf of Wang Jia have run away first, how can there be any loyal people who are willing to give up their war horses to this king.

Fortunately, at this moment, a carriage crashed into the chaotic rout and stopped in front of Yan Wangxi and Dai Wangjia.

Yan Guotai Fu Juwu emerged from the car and shouted, "The king, get in the car!" ”

"Taifu is really lonely."

Yan Wangxi, who was also panicked, was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly climbed into the carriage.

Seeing this, Dai Wangjia didn't have to think about it, and hurriedly followed behind Yan Wangxi and drilled into the car.

The Emperor drove the horses, and the wheels rolled forward.

In a cramped car.

Yan Wangxi glared at Dai Wangjia who had just climbed into the car with him.

Dai Wang Jia showed an ugly smile.

"There are no people and no horses, and they are in the same car as King Yan."
