Chapter 408: When the War Goes On
"Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. The autumn soldiers on the battlefield! Lu was fast on the horse, and his bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens!"
War, what is needed is speed, and the way of the soldiers is treacherous, but also the royal way!
After the prince of Chu received an affirmative reply from Zhao Tianqi, the 200,000 troops of the Great Chu State crossed the border of Zhao and Chu on the border line, passed through Yicheng, disguised as the army of King Zhao, and stepped out of the sky.
There is no need to go into detail about some of the interests involved in the cooperation between Chu and Zhao Tianqi this time, because the army of Chu State marched under the name of Zhao Tianqi, in addition to the high-level generals of Chu State, Zhao Wan'er and nearly 10,000 soldiers of the State of Yi accompanied him.
This time, the Chu State entered the Zhao State under false means, and Zhao Tianqi naturally would not rest assured.
Zhao State in the first line of the sky, built the city wall, fortress, and on the battlefield outside the line of the sky, white bones can be seen everywhere, the wind roared, ten years ago, Zhao and Yi Guo had a big battle here, lasted for three years, the bones became a mountain, the blood flowed into a river, until the ancestor of Zhengyangmen was killed by Ning Wujian in the mountains outside Yi City, Zhao State retreated.
The fortress is magnificent, guarding against the army of Yi Guo, and the army that is pouring out of the sky is extremely fast, and before the army in the fortress can react, it has already appeared a few hundred meters away from the fortress.
The state of Chu advocates red, and the general of the state of Chu gave an order, and there was a loud and urgent horn, and the army was dispatched. The 200,000 troops attacked in batches and began to attack the fortress, a total of 200,000 red troops, like a maple forest in the autumn colors, fiery and red.
The army of Zhao gathered on the fortress wall and fired arrows towards the Chu army, and the arrows fell densely like black clouds, like flying locusts, the Chu army had already expected it, and raised one shield after another. Form a shield array and brave the rain of arrows.
Cold weapon warfare is the most cruel, even if the Chu army has a shield, it is impossible to have no loss, there are arrows that directly shoot through the shield, piercing the body of the Chu army, and there are terrible crossbow guns, making a buzzing sound, where they pass. When a man turns on his horse, even the war horse will be torn apart.
Blood instantly stained the earth, the shouts of killing shook the sky, the drums and horns sounded, and the banners hunted in the wind. The shield bearers of the Chu army carried arrows, and the soldiers of the Chinese army stepped in neat steps, and the mountain city wall squad advanced, shouting "kill" every three steps, and they were calmly rumbling forward.
The generals in Zhao's army responded calmly. shouted and ordered, so that countless soldiers continued to release arrows, because of Zhao's internal turmoil, now there are less than 50,000 troops in the fortress. In the face of these Chu troops that suddenly appeared, yes, the Chu army, although this army carried the banner of the Yi State. There was even a princess of Yi State, but the generals of Zhao State still recognized these Chu State soldiers who had not yet changed their clothes at a glance.
Only by sticking to it and quickly reporting to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements is the right reason!
A fortress is not a city. There were no walls as tall as the city, and the ladder soldiers rushed to the fortress under the rain of arrows, and rows of ladders were set up on the walls.
"Rolling stones, sassal wood!"
The boulders and giant trees rolled down, and hundreds of people in the vanguard of the Chu army were wiped out in an instant, but the Zhao army did not cheer, because taking advantage of this pass, more soldiers rushed to the city wall, and the fortress was only seven or eight zhang high, which could not stop those martial arts masters and even monks in the refining realm!
General Zhao misestimated the importance of Chu State to this operation, this time it was the last time that the Emperor of Chu set foot on the battlefield in his later years, yes, the Emperor of Chu appeared on the battlefield, just an ordinary general, only a few people in the Chu army knew, in this army, there was no shortage of palace masters and strong people.
"Kill!"
The smoke rising from the raging flames of war filled the sky. The banner of the word "Zhao" that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant. Above the city tower, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding endlessly, but no one came forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and sweat was mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.
This is war, and it continues.
The loud screams and screams are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers of the Chu army under the city rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a shout that shook the heavens and the earth. Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows in a steady stream. As soon as the Chu army boarded the city wall, it was immediately greeted by several Zhao soldiers, and it was difficult to defeat them.
"Get down!"
The terrible screams of the "......", the frenzied killing, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry, and the war became more and more intense.
At last the two armies collided like a sea of mountains on the fortress, and if the rumbling thunder resounded through the valley, it was like a thousand angry waves crashing against the mountains. Long swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whistled and flitted, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
These are two powerful iron armies in Liangzhou, both of which have a brilliant record of winning and undefeated, and both have the courage to die generously.
Hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, and smoke and dust, the entire glimmer of heaven was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primordial fighting......
The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the tower.
Zhao Wan'er led the soldiers of the Yi State to follow the army of the Chu State, and slowly entered this fortress, there were burning flames everywhere, collapsed houses, corpses, and blood, such a scene all illustrated the tragedy of this war.
And this small battle is only the prelude to a more tragic war.
The fall of the first-line fortress outside the sky quickly spread throughout the Zhao State, Zhao Wan'er issued a letter in the fortress "Qing Jun Side, Zhen Dynasty Gang", in addition to the army of Chu, Yi State also had 200,000 troops appeared, united with Chu State, a total of 400,000 troops, marched towards Zhao City, attacked the city, and Zhao State was shaken.
At the same time, Lingcheng, Xiao Luo, and Liang all appeared in this city that had just suffered the scourge of fierce beasts, and entered the palace of Zhao Lingjun, and soon after, Lingwang collected an army of 200,000, and also played the slogan of "Qingjun side", and sent troops to Zhao Cheng.
It is only a matter of time before Yi Guo's dispatch of troops is a matter of time, but the separation of Lingcheng is tantamount to a storm for this stormy country, the most important city second only to Zhao City, and Lingcheng has a high status in Zhao State.
The suppressed anti-kings from all walks of life instantly became active, sending troops towards Zhao City, and the Liukou who had been silent for a period of time also began to recruit troops, and the magnificent and glorious Zhao royal family ten years ago now seems to have become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, and the ups and downs of life are nothing more than this.
