87. Drumbles
Xin Lingjun in the Light Wolf City didn't sleep all night, constantly patrolling the city defenses.
More than 100,000 Wei troops maintained the highest degree of vigilance, and Jin Yan personally led people to patrol the surroundings.
In the early hours of the morning, a few Wei soldiers guarding the tunnel crossing couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take a rest against the wall.
was directly slashed by Jin Contempt, who was patrolling here.
"Zhao Kuo attacked the Qin army at this time and captured Zheng Anping alive, have you forgotten?"
The head was quickly spread throughout the Wei army.
It's a pity that even if such preparations were made, the expected night attack of the Zhao army did not come.
Wei Jun seemed to have spent countless energy to make a delicate Manchu and Han banquet, but after waiting for a day, he did not wait for the expected guests.
Zhao Kuo didn't come to attack at night, did he really plan to exchange the city for food?
Xin Lingjun's eyes were red and he yawned, but he was also surprised by this fact.
In this person's heart, there is absolutely no concept of a monarch.
Can I do this myself?
Xin Lingjun couldn't help but feel a spirit, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Instead, quickly wash your face with water to make yourself feel refreshed.
A messenger sent news that King Zhao was very dissatisfied with Wei Jun's backstabbing behavior, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhao no longer has an army that can fight.
The few remaining troops have no other ability than to guard Handan and the northern border.
Even the Zhongshan Kingdom, which has been destroyed for more than 30 years, has a tendency to resurrect.
At this time, Zhao Guo was like drifting in the wind.
King Zhao has even taken the initiative to cede the land and cede the area from Guangwolf City to Gaopingguan.
It is said that the king of Zhao originally planned to cede more, but someone admonished him, saying that the Zhao army had won the battle, and it was the time to raise his eyebrows.
If too much land is cut, this victory will be in vain, and the surrounding countries will also feel that Zhao is weak and can be bullied, and maybe they will rush to carve up Zhao State.
Therefore, the conditions proposed by King Zhao for land cession were the area from Guangwolf City to Gaopingguan.
That's all.
completely ignored the Zhao army under Zhao Kuo, and was about to face a food crisis.
It's just a joke.
Either he will devote the strength of the whole country to attack the Wei army occupying Changping and rescue Zhao Kuo.
Either he will admit defeat directly, cede the city, and exchange Zhao Kuo and 200,000 Zhao Jun.
With such an iron-blooded strong army, are you afraid that you won't be able to get it back!
From this point of view, Zhao Kuo made his own initiative and exchanged the city for food, which had long seen through the stingy nature of King Zhao.
As expected, as a messenger, Lian Po came to Light Wolf City again.
This time, he discussed with Xinlingjun about changing cities.
"The Qin army's rout has all been released, and they are running back to Duanshi. This is a good time for your army to attack in a big way. If you continue to bargain with me like this, the opportunity to attack will be gone, and your army will lose a lot. Xinlingjun yawned, but he still asked for a price.
"Then Xin Lingjun thinks that if we don't vent our bad luck in Qin Jun, then who should we vent it on."
Between the words, the sword and the sword.
After a few pulls, it was enough for 200,000 Zhao troops to consume half a year's grain and grass, and even a large amount of hay was finally sent to Zhao Jun, and Xinling Jun once again took over Gugu City and Duwei City.
Xinlingjun also allocated an extra month of grain and grass, which was ready to be exchanged for Gaopingguan.
"It's really that cheap, Xinling-kun?" Gai Nie carried the package on his back, stood outside Gaoping Pass, and asked Zhao Kuo.
Even Wei people like him felt disdainful of Xin Lingjun's behavior.
But there is nothing to be done.
Zhao Kuo smiled faintly and said, "From the time I was in charge to the present, when have I ever let people take advantage." ”
In the starry night, Wei Jun, who had taken over Duwei City, had red eyes and was very tired, but he didn't dare to close his eyes and sleep.
The heads of the few Wei soldiers who had deserted were still hanging high on the city gate, shaking constantly.
It's just that these Wei troops have been highly nervous for days, and although they have rotated to rest, they have been hurrying during the day, transporting grain, and receiving the city, and they are very tired.
Although I forced myself to open my eyes and patrol at night, my reaction and mental state were still not good after all.
Bang!
A fierce drum sounded!
On the Huanghua Ridge opposite Duwei City, torches suddenly broke out, boiling in the sky.
It turned out to be like countless Zhao Jun shouting loudly.
For a time, the drums of war were tight.
Xinlingjun, who had already slept, was so frightened that he fell directly from the bed to the ground.
But then, he forcibly stood up, took out his sword, walked out of the tent, shouted loudly, and organized the defense.
He had already laid a net here, just waiting for Zhao Jun to crash in and shatter his bones.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The drums of war poured like a torrential rain.
In the distance of Duwei City, there was even the sound of horses' hooves.
"Zhao Jun night attack, don't mess up, act according to the plan, everything is under my control!" Shin Ling Jun shouted.
But the Wei army was still very flustered.
The Wei army outside the city encountered the cavalry of the Zhao army, and ran back to the city without resistance, crying for his father and mother.
Many Wei troops trampled on each other, like headless flies, and many were trampled to death and injured by the panicked robes after accidentally tripping.
Lying on the ground and moaning.
I don't know who took the lead and fired the bed crossbow placed on the city wall.
Subsequently, whoosh! Sou! Sou! And so on.
Although the sound of war drums was still tight, the Wei army in the city seemed to have settled down and was no longer so flustered.
At the same time, Gao Ping closed, and the fire was monstrous.
Shinling-kun was dumbfounded.
Could it be that the Qin army succeeded in the night attack on Zhao Jun's Gaoping Pass?
Where did this Qin army come from?
Will the main force of the Zhao army all come to attack him at night?
Even if he is well prepared, can he really hold on to the Zhao army who has survived a hundred battles?
At that moment, Xin Lingjun even had the slightest idea of escaping.
But then, he reacted that if he went back like this, he would be ashamed of the entire Wei State.
What is the purpose of deceiving the tiger talisman by yourself!
All for the sake of Wei!
"Ahh Outside the city, the screams of the Wei army were constantly heard.
It's just that after a long time, there is still no Zhao Jun to ascend the city.
Xin Lingjun was slightly relieved at this time, and the arrow array he prepared seemed to be outstanding.
"Keep firing the arrows, don't stop!"
In the morning, the sound of war drums was still endless, and under the city of Duwei, there was not a single shadow of Zhao Jun. On the contrary, many Wei troops who fled back were pierced by the arrows of their own people.
Xin Lingjun felt that something was wrong, so he asked people to check, only to find that it was on the opposite mountain.
It was the thinnest dozens of sheep in the flock sent by the Wei army to Zhao Ying yesterday. It was hung upside down on a tree by a rope from the Zhao army, and a drum was placed under the front hooves of each sheep.
In the middle of the night yesterday, Zhao Jun untied the rope of the sheep's front hooves after shouting killing, and the sheep struggled to get free, the sheep's hooves kicked wildly, hitting the drum surface, and the sound sounded, like thousands of troops and horses, and the sound shook for nine days.
Then a group of Zhao cavalry drove the Wei army away from Duwei City, and then flaunted their might and left.
The Wei people thought that their perfect preparations had finally succeeded, and those prepared bows and crossbows were constantly poured down.
At the end of the night, the Wei army was weak in his hands and feet, and he was panting, while the Zhao army didn't even go in, only rubbed at the city gate, and then slapped his horse and left.
"Report! The city wall and gate of Gaopingguan against Duanshi City were all destroyed by the Zhao army. ”
