Chapter 32: Zhao Xie's Restoration
Sand dunes, here was the place where the first emperor died of illness, and after many years, there is a large army here again to the west, this army of more than 30,000 people, of which 20,000 are wearing cyan robes, holding the flag of Qi State, the head of the general is Tian Jie, he was ordered by Tian Rong, the king of Qi, led the troops to assist Chen Yu to attack Zhang Er, recapture the homeland of Zhao.
On the other side of the team, Chen Yu also led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses from Nanpi, Qing, and Jingsan counties to join forces with Tianjie in Guanjin, and hurriedly marched westward, taking advantage of Zhang Er's defenselessness to take Xindu in one go and destroy Zhang Er's regime.
This is also Chen Yu's plan for a long time, but there is a hurdle that Chen Yu can never cross, he can't proclaim himself king after defeating Zhang Er, in this way, he will lose the support of the Zhao people and the people will betray their relatives, a good psychological struggle, Chen Yu finally decided, support Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao, stabilize the foundation of the Zhao country, this is also the capital that Chen Yu proposed when negotiating with Tian Rong, if it is not for the reason that Zhao Xie has been welcomed, I am afraid that Tian Rong will not easily agree to lend troops to himself.
At this time, the army traveled another distance, and there were thirty miles before the giant deer, Chen Yu thought for a moment on the horse, he looked back at a deputy general and said, "You lead the team, I will go and discuss some things with Tian Jie." ”
After Chen Yu finished explaining, he took dozens of personal soldiers and hurriedly galloped towards the team of Qi State.
The vanguard of Qi was less than ten miles away from Julu at this time, according to the spies, there were more than 2,000 people in the Julu garrison, and the guard general Li Min was addicted to alcohol, and he did not pay much attention to the defense of Julu, and at this time Tian Jie's Chinese army was five miles behind the vanguard troops, and Chen Yu arrived near Tian Jie's Chinese army when Shuai personally attacked a cup of tea.
Soon, Chen Yu found Tian Xie in the team, he rode his horse for a while, and came to Tian Jie's side, Chen Yu arched his hand on the horse and said: "General Tian, this trip to the north has worked hard for you." ”
Tian Xie turned around and saw that it was Chen Yu, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Do it as ordered, why do you have to say that it is hard." ”
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Tian Xie brought the topic back to the war, he looked at the army that was still marching in front of him, and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to find out the situation of the giant deer, I don't know if General Chen Yu can guess who the guard general is?" ”
"Zhang Erpifu doesn't know the military plane, I don't expect that he may be able to send a general to garrison, Julu fights, I have full confidence to take this city." Chen Yu sneered, Tian Xie saw that Chen Yu was correct, so he smiled loudly: "That's true, I have found out that the name of the giant deer guard is Li Min, he is addicted to alcohol, and he is not very concerned about the defense of the giant deer. ”
After speaking, Tian Xie smiled self-deprecatingly: "Julu City, there are only two thousand defenders, it's really ridiculous." ”
Two thousand defenders? Chen Yu was stunned, this is an important barrier to the east of Zhang Er, without the giant deer, the enemy army can drive straight into Xindu, what advantage can he have to hold Xindu? It can be seen how serious Zhang Er's judgment of the military aircraft is, just when Chen Yu sighed in his heart that Zhang Er didn't know the depths, a cavalry galloped from the front and arched his hand: "General, my vanguard has arrived under Julu City, is it attacking the city?" ”
"Command, attack the city with all your might."
Tian Xie issued a military order, then looked at Chen Yu, and said: "Our army will speed up, and please General Chen Yu not lag behind, we will see you in Julu." ”
Chen Yu smiled and arched his hand: "I'll go back and urge the army to move faster." ”
……
At this time, the giant deer city has been lit with blazing beacon smoke, a team of soldiers wielding a long song to poke violently under the city, and there are conscripts who were temporarily recruited to the city to defend against the enemy, they hold the rolling wood thunder stone to the city to throw, but soon by the enemy fired up the feather arrows ruthlessly killed, the war is extremely tragic, the sound of drums, trumpets like the roar of a giant beast, resounding in the air.
The siege of the Qi army was also very fierce, nearly 100 ladders, 3,000 vanguard soldiers desperately climbed upward, they wielded bronze swords and Changge to fight with the defenders on the city, although occasionally the rolling wood and thunder stones fell, but this could not stop them from advancing.
And in the wilderness south of the giant deer, more than 20,000 allied troops are deployed here, under the banner of the Chinese army, Tian Xie and Chen Yu stand side by side, they are all looking at the giant deer not far away, although there are not many defenders, and the guards are not all-rounders, but the giant deer itself has a thick and solid, but the Qi army can not cross for a while.
Moreover, this place has experienced the fierce attack of the Qin general Zhang Han, and it has not been conquered for several months, and finally Zhang Han was defeated in the hands of Xiang Yu.
Tian Xie felt that he was a little contemptuous of Zhang Er, it seemed that Zhang Er did not need heavy troops to guard the giant deer for his reason, and when Tian Xie was secretly thinking in his heart, Chen Yu on the side shouted: "Xia said, you bring 3,000 people and give me an assist to the giant deer!" ”
A general flashed out on the side, he was Xia Shuo, and he was also Chen Yu's deputy general, at this time, he got Chen Yu's general order, Xia Shuo turned around and ordered three thousand soldiers, and then took the lead and led the team straight to Julu.
The war drums sounded again in the coalition formation, and the drums beat higher than one wave, helping Chen Yu's army, at this time, there was one more pillar of beacon smoke on the tower of Julu City, from the original two pillars to three columns, this is the beacon smoke of emergency, indicating that Julu City has been 100,000 urgent, which made Chen Yu, who was watching the battle not far away, realize that Julu was about to be unable to hold on.
And Zhang Er's letter is still more than fifty miles away from here, it is completely impossible for him to gallop to help Julu, Chen Yu, who has the ticket to win, strode onto the chariot, personally beat the war drums with drumsticks, the high shouts of the soldiers sounded in the coalition array, the soldiers who were still struggling to attack the city in front heard the shouts and cheers of the rear at this time, they attacked stronger, nearly 50 people resisted the collision wood, ran to the city of Julu, they shouted the slogan "one, two, crash" and then hit the wood and slammed into the city gate, the city gate trembled slightly after being impacted, but then, the second, third impact was launched again.
The impact lasted for a long time, there were constantly feather arrows on the city tower, there were rolling wood thunder stones falling, and the Qi army was killed and wounded as many as 100 people, but there was still a steady stream of Qi soldiers rushing up, carrying the crashing wood, and slamming the city gate hard.
"Boom" suddenly there was a loud bang, the south gate of the giant deer collapsed, a soldier suddenly let go of the collision wood, he turned back to the soldiers not far away, and shouted: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" ”
The troops of the Qi army and Chen Yu shouted and cheered, and poured towards the south gate of Julu from all directions, and then, the city head of the east gate was broken by the Qi soldiers, and groups of soldiers climbed up to the city and fought hard.
The north gate and the west gate were also lost one after another, Li Min stood at the head of the city, he looked at the enemy troops surging from all sides and the endless shouts and killings in the city, he finally sighed in despair, turned over and jumped from the city tower, and died tragically in the chaos.
……
After Qi and Chen Yu's army conquered Julu, Zhang Bang Anmin, Chen Yu personally summoned the rich gentry and village elders in the city, knew it with reason, moved it with affection, and made it clear that he supported Zhao Xie, and wanted to welcome back Zhao Xie and recover Zhao State.
On the same day, Ren County and Quliang in Shannan, located on the mainland, sent troops to reinforce Julu, but they were defeated by Chen Yu's halfway ambush and fled.
Three days later, the army marched westward, heading straight to Xindu, the capital of Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and fought a fierce battle with Zhang Er's vanguard troops on the way, and Zhang Er's vanguard troops were defeated, causing Zhang Er to have to collect his troops and return to Xindu, strictly defend to the death, and recruit people to garrison in the city to resist the combined forces of Qi and Chen Yu.
Subsequently, the coalition army arrived at the city of Xindu, along the line of the Shahe River to build a camp, Chen Yu and from the surrounding county has Zhao Xie in the name of the name of the recruitment, for a time, the number of people who came to join the army is countless, the number of coalition troops has skyrocketed to more than 50,000 people, and the Xindu group surrounded, Zhang Er sent a letter several times, reprimanding the surrounding counties to send troops to help, all were intercepted by the coalition army, so that Zhang Er solid city to defend to the death, had to fight hard, and there was no way back.
The huge siege battle has lasted for two days, Zhang Er's defenders have lost more than 30,000 people from the original to more than 20,000 people today, the casualties are extremely heavy, the walls have been dilapidated, the city gate has been almost broken by the Qi army several times, if it were not for Zhang Er's temporary deployment of troops to reinforce and use logs to hold the city gate, Xindu would have been lost.
At this time, it was late at night the next day, Zhang Er had no intention of sleeping, he came to the city with dozens of personal soldiers, inspected the city defense, the soldiers were killed and wounded, the city was full of undried blood and seriously injured soldiers, Zhang Er was extremely sad in his heart.
I thought that after the overthrow of the violent Qin, the Zhao people could finally get out of the sea of suffering, even if the Yan army and the Liaodong army in the north fought hard, Zhang Er did not participate in the war. He wanted Zhao Guo to recuperate. wanted the people to live a good life again, but Chen Yu was aggressive and moved Zhao Xie out, which made Zhang Er realize that war was inevitable.
But in a hurry, Zhang Er was unable to mobilize troops from all over the world to help, he was very worried, if he continued to consume like this, sooner or later one day the letter would be lost, just when Zhang Er was extremely worried, a shout of killing suddenly sounded in the distance. Zhang Er was awakened from his contemplation by this inexplicable shouting and killing, and he looked intently, and a Lang general rushed over, pointing to Beicheng and saying, "Big ...... Big...... Great, the enemy army in the north city suddenly attacked the city, and the attack was very fierce, and we ...... I can't hold it anymore! ”
This sentence made Zhang Er extremely desperate, and he immediately turned around and ordered: "Quick, organize soldiers and horses to gallop to the north city!" ”
If the war in the North City has been turned upside down. Then Chen Yu's soldiers and horses in the southern city ambush are the life talisman of Changshan Kingdom, just when Zhang Er focused his attention on the northern city, Chen Yu's soldiers and horses who had been in ambush for a long time suddenly came out, cloud ladders, hitting wood, all kinds of means were exhausted, and the last line of defense of Xindu finally collapsed.
In the second half of the night, at the moment before the loss of Xindu, Zhang Er hurriedly fled from the West Gate with 3,000 cavalry and broke through the defense line of the Qi State. Fleeing along the mountain road, Changshan Kingdom was overthrown by Chen Yu.
……
Chen Yu entered the palace, ordered the soldiers to destroy the palace, Zhang Bang Anmin, and told the public that Zhang Er was not a minister, and had absconded in fear of crime, and the people of Zhao State should be the king of Zhao Xie, the descendant of Zhao State, and ordered Xia to say that he would go to meet Zhao Xie.
Subsequently, Chen Yu recruited Zhang Eryu to march to Handan, on the way, Chen Yu thanked Tian Xie for his help, and told him that he would keep his promise, and Tian Xie led the army to leave.
Handan City, the palace has been re-rested, soon, Zhao Xie returned accompanied by Xia Shuo, entered the palace, Zhao Xie was relieved, he came back again, was named Chen Yu as the acting king, Chen Yu because of Zhao Di Chu'an, inconvenient to leave, ordered Xia to say that he was the prime minister, rushed to the county, to deal with affairs, he still stayed in Handan, assisted Zhao Xie, Chen Yu recalled that Tian Rong developed the iron sword, he had also seen the Chu army use the iron sword, it was indeed very powerful, especially the light armor worn by the elite of the Chu army, it was even more powerful, and Zhang Tong was ordered to lead the craftsman thirty, gold thousand yi, Go to the country of Qi to seek the secret art of iron smelting.
