Chapter 55: Capture Anze

Someone asked questioningly, "But is this a violation of military orders?" ”

Ji Guofu said sonorously: "There are only two results for going out of the city to attack the Wei army, either win or lose. What if you win, even if you violate military orders? If you lose, you will die on the battlefield, so what is the use of military orders for us? Anyway, I've had enough of this. ”

"Yes, I've had enough of this. If it continues like this, maybe the world will think that we have taken refuge in the Wei army. ”

Several generals were moved by what Ji Guofu said.

Ji Guofu said excitedly: "Let Wei Jun know the stakes of us tomorrow!" I don't know, when do you plan to attack the Wei army? ”

Many generals of the Zhao army looked hesitant, and no one answered.

“……”

Ji Guofu knew in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, I raised this matter first, I will take the lead in attacking the Wei army tomorrow, if the Wei army can attack, your brothers will press on it closely, if the Wei army cannot be attacked, you don't have to come to the rescue again, let the soldiers give their lives in vain." What do you think? ”

"That's it, I'll go and prepare to mobilize the troops."

Without waiting for others to reply, Ji Guofu made up his mind for them.

Listening to Ji Guofu's righteous words, everyone admired him, but at the same time felt ashamed of themselves.

To be sure, they have absolutely no such awareness of risking their lives.

Everyone looked at Ji Guofu's departing back and arched their hands wordlessly.

The next day, the first rays of the morning sun fell on the earth.

In a corner of Anze City, Ji Guofu mobilized a Zhao army of about 3,000 people, and went out of the city from a corner of Anze City in a low-key manner to attack the Wei army.

Many of the generals who learned the news were already standing at the head of the city at this time, and were ready to attack at any time.

In the early morning, it was still dark.

In the Wei army camp, there were only sporadic lights.

Twenty or thirty thousand Wei soldiers walked out of the barracks in a sparse manner, preparing for today's siege.

However, when they arrived at a position about a kilometer outside of Anze City, Ji Guofu led a Zhao army of several thousand people to suddenly kill.

"Everyone, kill with me!"

With a roar, Ji Guofu took the lead and rushed into the Wei army.

He raised his sword and slashed the Wei army, looking extremely brave.

Zhao Jun, who was following behind Ji Guofu, saw that his morale was also shocked, and he rushed in.

The Wei army was caught off guard by Ji Guofu's killing, and the army was in chaos.

Seeing this, some Wei soldiers who had learned the news in advance looked at each other in unison, deliberately discarded some of their armor and weapons, and pretended to flee in defeat.

And with their defeat, the remaining Wei army also seemed to get some kind of signal and fled backwards, completely defeated.

Seeing this, Ji Guofu raised the long sword in his hand, pointed to the sky and shouted: "The Wei army has been defeated, and all the soldiers are pursuing with me, and it is finally our turn to take the credit of pouring the sky." ”

The three thousand Zhao troops who rushed out together were extremely excited and their confidence was greatly increased, they shouted slogans and pounced on them with a roar.

Many Zhao soldiers on the wall of Anze City were overjoyed when they saw this.

"It turned out that the Wei army was so vulnerable, go, attack quickly. Don't let General Xie snatch the credit alone. ”

"Get out of the city quickly and crush them in one fell swoop."

Immediately after Ji Guofu, another 50,000 or 60,000 Zhao troops went out of the city to attack the Wei army.

On the hillside in the distance, Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi, Cen Xiu and others were observing the defeated Wei army in front, as well as Ji Guofu and Zhao Jun who were chasing after them, and they couldn't help but smile.

They all know that their plan is now halfway there.

"This Ji Guofu doesn't seem to have disappointed me. Get ready, and when they're all in the ambush circle, let's do it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As early as before, Zhao Hongming secretly asked Ji Guofu to find a way to encourage the Zhao army to go out of the city, and the Wei army cooperated.

Now it seems that among the generals of the Zhao army, there are not many generals with courage.

This can be seen from Ji Guofu single-handedly.

They don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle.

Before that, Zhao Hongming had not appeared for many days.

He once secretly released a rumor to make Li Mu's subordinates think that he was not in the army, so that they could attack more confidently.

Sure enough, everything was as planned by Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi and others.

Behind Ji Guofu, many soldiers saw that the Wei army was so vulnerable.

So they all couldn't wait to lead their subordinates and join the camp of chasing and defeating the retreating Wei army, for fear of being one step behind others.

In between pursuits, they chased them to the vicinity of the Wei army's camp in one go.

The Wei camp was shrouded in morning fog and flanked by dense mountain forests.

Huge ancient trees twisted their bodies, their branches stretching out like ghosts, obscuring most of the sky.

The gates of the Wei camp were wide open, as if to invite them in.

"In the past, the martial king of Wei was able to break the 100,000 army with 3,000 troops, and we will be able to break this Wei army, all the soldiers, kill with me!" Ji Guofu shouted with a stiff neck.

Encouraged by him, the Zhao army was unsuspicious and their morale was high, and they rushed into the camp of the Wei army with a shout.

However, they found no trace of the Wei army, and instead the camp was littered with discarded armor and weapons, as well as gold and silver treasures and wish stones.

The Zhao army, who rushed in, saw the loot all over the ground, and rushed in to grab it.

There was an expression of excitement and satisfaction on their faces.

The other generals who rushed in after Ji Guofu saw this scene, their brows furrowed slightly, and their faces showed a little suspicion.

Ji Guofu subconsciously lagged behind everyone.

Some generals said vigilantly: "There is something wrong with Wei Ying, I am afraid that there is an ambush ......"

At this moment, rumbling war drums suddenly sounded around the Wei army's camp.

The banner of the Wei army fluttered high in the air, surrounded from all directions, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The soldiers of the Zhao army were horrified to find that they had been trapped in the encirclement of the Wei army.

Ji Guofu was shocked, and angrily waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Guofu, who had already retreated behind everyone, took a few guards around him and ran out of the gap in the encirclement of the Wei army.

After the other generals reacted, it was too late to escape again.

They were completely surrounded by the Wei army, and the gap was also refilled by the Wei army.

Many of the generals of the Zhao army looked around with iron faces, unwilling.

They had the intention to blame Ji Guofu, but when they thought that he was the first to attack, they took a greater risk than them, but they couldn't blame it.

Some soldiers said ruthlessly: "I heard that Emperor Wei is not in the army, and we are not without a chance of winning. Among the generals, I have the highest title, and all the soldiers obey my command. ”

Poof!

As soon as the general's voice fell, a silver light flashed, and his figure came to an abrupt end.

The huge skull was a bone tumbling down his neck.

Pillars of blood shot two meters high from the headless corpse, turning into a rain of blood.

Moments later, the general's body fell from his horse.

The process before and after is just between lightning and flint, so that everyone has no time to react.

"Who said I wasn't there?"

In mid-air, a rainbow light flashed, staying in front of many Zhao Jun.

The rainbow light gradually faded, and Zhao Hongming's figure also manifested, he was suspended in the air, his posture was as tall as a pine, and his face was cold.

At this time, he was covered in armor, and the armor pieces on his body flashed with cold light, showing his might and extraordinary.

Zhao Hongming slowly put away the long knife in his hand, and the blade was lightly knocked on the sheath, making a crisp metallic sound

The moment the knife was sheathed, an invisible aura emanated from him, making the air around him seem to freeze.

The wind is howling, and the flag is hunting.

The generals of the Zhao army looked at this scene in disbelief, as if they were under great pressure.

"The general is dead! The general is dead! ”

A moment later, the soldiers of the Zhao army shouted in panic.

The originally neat formation instantly fell into chaos, and the soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies.

Zhao Hongming stretched out his hand and lightly sent a signal to move.

"Leave no one, kill!"

The Wei troops surrounded by the surrounding area, like tigers out of cages, rushed out of the surrounding grass, hills and woods.

They brandished their blades and shouted for killing.

The Zhao army, which was fifty or sixty thousand, was powerless to fight back under this sudden attack.

Blood stained the field, and the soldiers of the Zhao army fell one by one, their wails and begs for mercy drowned out in the iron hooves and swords of the Wei army.

Many martial artists who have cultivated to a high level cannot play any role at all under the pressure of Zhao Hongming.

All the signs of emerging were ruthlessly killed by Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming stood in the center of the battlefield, watching all this, with no joy or sadness on his face.

Under the foolproof preparation for the Wei army, these Zhao troops had no chance of escaping.

really did as Zhao Hongming said, no one was left, and they were all killed.

After the ambush and killing these Wei troops, the sky was already bright, and Wu Qi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, without further ado, while Li Mu in Anze City has not yet reacted, we will immediately attack the city, and maybe we can take it in one fell swoop." ”

The remnants of the formation in Anze City are getting weaker and weaker, but Li Mu is extremely particular about the arrangement of troops behind the formation, even if they break a corner of the formation repeatedly, it is difficult for their Wei army to attack the city tower.

Now among the Zhao army, 40,000 troops have been lost in one go, and the layout behind the formation is bound to be full of loopholes, and there will definitely be cracks in the impregnable defense line.

And in a very short period of time, it was difficult for Li Mu to make a comprehensive arrangement.

As Wu Qi said, it was a good time to attack the city.

Zhao Hongming agreed: "What the general said is extremely true, beat the drum to attack the city, and you must take Anze City today." ”

"Yes!"

Sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices and dapples onto the room's bluestone floor, creating a staggered mix of light and shadow.

There was a dreary atmosphere in the room, as if all the air was being squeezed under heavy pressure, and it was suffocating.

Li Mu stood alone in front of Yu Tu, looking isolated.

At this time, there was no expression on his face, and the continuous conquest and the pressure of the court made him haggard, and his eyes were deeply sunken, revealing an indescribable exhaustion.

There were some dim battle maps hanging on the walls around him, and Li Mu's gaze wandered over these maps from time to time, trying to find a way to defend against the Wei army.

The sunlight outside the window gradually rises high, and the light and shadow in the room also change.

Li Mu still stood there, motionless, as if he had become a stone sculpture, and everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In his current situation, he felt as if he was being choked by an invisible giant hand, and he was quite helpless.

Just as Li Mu was frowning, one of his subordinates hurriedly came with a frightened look on his face: "General, it's not good!" There are generals who disobey your orders and attack without authorization, fifty or sixty thousand Zhao troops... The whole army is annihilated! ”

When Li Mu heard this, he was shocked.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, which made his already heavy mood worse.

He felt a wave of vertigo and almost unsteady on his feet.

At this moment, a deafening sound of war drums was heard in the distance.

Li Mu kicked away the men who were blocking in front of him and hurriedly rushed to the city.

At noon, the sun scorched the earth, and there was a solemn atmosphere in front of the city wall.

The iron cavalry of the Wei army was like a black torrent, surging forward.

The flag is displayed, and the sword and gun are reflected in the sun.

With the high battle cries of the soldiers and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, it seemed to level the entire city.

The blazing sun shone on the walls, and the air was hot.

At this time, Li Mu's heart was like falling into an ice cellar.

He stood at the head of the city, looking at the torrent of the Wei army not far away, full of despair.

On the city wall, the Zhao army nervously stared at the Wei army below, their faces full of horror and unease.

Li Mu was not in a hurry to give up, and planned to make a final struggle, and ordered: "Everyone is in place to resist the Wei army." ”

Soon after he gave the order, the Wei army, led by Wu Qi, Zhao Hongming and others, began to attack the city.

The Wei army's attack was as fierce as a raging storm, which made the Zhao army palpitate.

The remnants of Anze City lit up, and under the sunlight, it was like an invisible giant net, flashing with complex light patterns, enveloping the city in it.

And in Zhao Hongming's eyes, many places have been completely dimmed, like an old age spot that is about to die, extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath, and under everyone's nervous gaze, he lunged forward.

"Broken!" Zhao Hongming shouted violently, and a bright light suddenly erupted in front of his palm.

This light was like substance, transforming into a huge grinding disc, and rushing towards the great array with an unstoppable attitude.

Immediately afterwards, the white national fortune dragon also pressed up.

"Boom!"

A deafening loud bang came, and the two collided with the Great Array, erupting with blinding light and powerful energy fluctuations.

The entire city wall trembled under the impact, and the soldiers covered their ears in an attempt to alleviate the deafening pain.

When the light dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that the seemingly indestructible array, which had been held out for a long time, was actually shattered under Zhao Hongming's blow.

The line of defense, which was as fragile as glass, seemed so vulnerable at this moment.

When the fragments turned into a small formation of filial piety and trapped Zhao Hongming again, they became crumbling, as if they were about to collapse and dissipate at any time.

Zhao Hongming's face was fearless, and he rushed forward head-on, tightly controlling the formation around him.

The Zhao army, which had lost the protection of the formation, faced the surging Wei army.

At this time, the defense line of the Zhao army, which had lost troops, became weak, and the rumors of Li Mu's betrayal of the Zhao state and collusion with the Wei army made the soldiers demoralized, and it was difficult to resist the huge offensive of the Wei army.

Li Mu watched as the defensive line he had been operating for a long time collapsed under the iron hooves of the Wei army, and the soldiers scattered and fled.

Rumble!

On the battlefield, the dragon horse repeated his old tricks and smashed open the gate of Anze City.

After the city gate was broken, Zhao Jun lost his former calmness and tacit understanding, and fell for thousands of miles.

The Wei army, under the leadership of Zhao Hongming and Wu Qi, cooperated tacitly and rushed into the city.

At this point, Li Mu knew that the general trend had gone, and he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he fled in a hurry under the coercion of his subordinates.

Anze City, which had been attacked for many days, finally changed hands today and was obtained by Zhao Hongming. (End of chapter)
