Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 562
Chapter 563: Annihilating Zhao Jun
In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on March [-]th, Deng Jun suddenly withdrew the encirclement after besieging Gucheng for more than half a month. Due to Le Ting's defeat, unable to rescue Gu Cheng and the people in the army are fluctuating, and he has received an order from Le Ting ordering him to retreat, Ling An has no choice but to take this opportunity to break out.

However, not long after Ling An led the army out of Gucheng, they were blocked by Deng Jun's generals Li Cunxiao, Wu Tianxi, and Li Dingguo. The three of Cunxiao stopped him and headed north, but Li Cunxiao and the others were still chasing after him. Seeing this, Ling An had no choice but to order to speed up.

"General, Li Cunxiao and others have been biting us behind our backs!" Zhou Kun said to Ling An while galloping his horse.

Ling An gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, after passing the mountain road in front, there is a plain area. When we get there, Deng Jun will have no way to stop us. Don't worry about them, let the soldiers speed up, we have to cross as soon as possible. Mountain Road."

Li Cunxiao and the others were biting behind them like dog skin plasters, and Ling An was also helpless, but the most important thing now was not how to defeat the pursuers of Li Cunxiao and others, but to cross the mountain road as soon as possible, so Ling An asked Zhou Kun not to let go. Take care.

"Here!" Seeing that Ling An said so, Zhou Kun had no choice but to let go of the grievances in his heart, and continued to move forward. After running wildly for a long time, Zhao Jun finally entered the mountain road. After watching Zhao Jun enter the mountain road, Li Cunxiao and others ordered the army Stop, because there are [-] magical guards led by Zhang Liao blocking the way ahead, Zhao Jun will never be able to run away, and he and others have fought hard for a long time, and chased all the way, really tired, so stopping to rest is also for the better. Kill the enemy, and Li Cunxiao and others knew that after Murong Ke took control of Gucheng, he would definitely send someone to support him and the others.

"General, Li Cunxiao and others have stopped!" Sensing that Deng Jun had stopped, Zhou Kun hurriedly said to Ling An.

After learning that Deng Jun had stopped, Ling An couldn't help but frowned. It was only twenty or thirty miles away from Gucheng. There must be fraud, but what is the reason, Ling An can't figure it out for a while, but it is a good thing for Deng Jun to stop chasing him.

So he said to Zhou Kun: "Don't worry about Deng Jun, let's move on and get out of the mountain path as soon as possible, as long as we get out, we will be safe!"

"Here!" Zhou Kun responded.

However, when Ling An led the army through many hardships and finally reached the end of the mountain path, he found that there was a Deng army standing in front of the mountain pass, and the leader was Zhang Liao, whom he had been fighting for a long time.

After Zhang Liao saw Zhao Jun appearing, he quickly ordered the whole army to be on alert, then waved his spear in his hand, pointed at Ling An, and shouted loudly: "Ling An, you have nowhere to escape, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly? hour?"

"Stop!" The moment he saw Zhang Liao, Ling An knew that he was powerless. Even if Zhang Liao couldn't defeat him, it would definitely not be a problem to hold him back, and once he was held back by Zhang Liao's army , the tens of thousands of Deng Jun behind will arrive in an instant, facing two sides, and in such a narrow mountain road, unless they can fly, they will not be able to escape.

"Zhang Liao, you must have been planning for today's matter for a long time, right?" Ling An looked at Zhang Liao calmly and said, maybe because he knew there was no way out. There is no urgency in Gucheng.

Zhang Liao replied: "Ling An, from the moment Le Ting was defeated, you should know that you are powerless. I will fight you for a long time, and I know your ability. My Majesty Deng is eager to seek talents." , if you can surrender, I will recommend you as a general!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Ling Yu smiled instead of anger, and said, "Zhang Liao, today I, Ling Yu, lost to you and Murong Ke. Surrender, don't even think about it!"

Seeing Ling An's stubbornness, Zhang Liao quickly said: "General Ling, as the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a leader to serve. After today's battle, Zhao Guo is powerless in Peijun. If we fail, the entire Central Plains battle will be tilted towards my Great Deng, and Zhao's defeat is only a matter of time. Why is General Ling so stubborn? Even if General Ling is not thinking of himself, he should also think of his soldiers, isn't it? Does General Ling really want to see their blood spilled on the battlefield?" Seeing that the lure was not enough, Zhang Liao tried to use the lives of Ling An's soldiers to persuade Ling An to surrender, hoping that Ling An would think of those soldiers who fought with him and give up their arms and surrender. , so that he can avoid a big war.

Hearing this, Ling An turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, his persistence was shaken a bit, these were brothers who had followed him in the north and south for many years, he was born and died, if it was not a last resort, he would not want to see them perish on the battlefield.

"General, Dazhao only has warriors who died in battle, and no cowards who surrendered. If we fight Deng Jun, we will always follow the general!" Just as Ling An was hesitating, a voice sounded behind him.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, soon the whole army shouted in unison: "That's right, General, we will fight Deng Jun!"

The soldiers and horses under Ling An's command are all the elites of Zhao Guo's battles, and the belief in their hearts is far from comparable to that of Zhao Guo's recruited soldiers in the Central Plains. Even if they die, they are not willing to surrender.

"How lucky is it that Zhao has such a loyal guard, but it's a pity that the generals are incompetent, causing a group of loyal and brave men to die on the battlefield. That's all, since everyone can have such determination, why should I spare my life?" Ling An thought in his heart. .

After making a decision in his heart, Ling An showed firm eyes on his face, looked at Zhang Liao, and said, "Zhang Liao, it's useless to talk too much. I will be a member of Great Zhao in life, and I will be the soul of Great Zhao in death. I want us to surrender. , absolutely impossible, if you still regard us as real opponents, then there is no need to talk about persuading us to surrender, let's see the truth from our subordinates!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao felt very sorry, and looked carefully at the soldiers behind him. Deng Guo is different from Zhao Guo. But the country is not good, don't look at the current state of Deng who is invincible all over the world, but apart from the old Deng people, there are not many people who are absolutely loyal to the country of Deng. Now the country of Deng is going smoothly, but if one day Deng Guo was defeated, and I am afraid that the end will be much worse than that of Zhao Guo. Deng Guo is still far from reaching the height of Zhao Guo. This is not a question of strength, but a matter of background. ah.

However, this background cannot be obtained overnight, and it is not up to Zhang Liao to consider these things. What he has to do now is to defeat the Zhao army in front of him and contribute to Deng Guo's capture of Pei County.

"Alas..." Zhang Liao sighed, and said, "In this case, I will become General Quan Ling, and the whole army will obey orders and be killed by this general!" Zhang Liao ordered Wang Shao to lead his troops to guard the mountain pass, but he was He led [-] elites to rush towards Zhao Jun.

"Soldiers, we are at a dead end in today's battle. Since this is the case, let's fight a hearty battle. Don't go too hastily on the road to Huangquan, kill!" Ling An shouted, [-] Yu Zhaojun soon fought with Deng Jun.

The mountain road is relatively narrow. Even though Deng Jun has a slight advantage in numbers, it doesn't show at all here. The two sides fought back and forth, very anxious, and Zhao Jun is obviously at the end of the road, completely ignoring his own fight Even if he died, he would put Deng Jun at the bottom. For a while, Deng Jun was actually suppressed by Zhao Jun.

Seeing this, Wang Shao, who was guarding the mountain pass, immediately had the urge to go up to support him, but quickly dismissed the idea, because Zhang Liao had given him the task of guarding the mountain pass, and he could not let a Zhao army leave, so he could only stand still, thinking only We can hope that the reinforcements from behind will arrive sooner, otherwise, even if the War God Chewei wins, he will suffer heavy losses.

Wang Shao's prayer soon came true, and when the two armies were fighting anxiously, a voice came from behind.

"Brothers of Shence Guard, don't panic, I'll come later!" At this time, Li Cunxiao, Wu Tianxi, Li Dingguo, Wen Leng, Huan Heng, Deng Han, Deng Yu and others led tens of thousands of elite troops to kill them. Zhao Jun was quickly defeated and had to be strangled by Deng Jun, but in the process of strangling Zhao Jun, Deng Jun's own casualties were not small.

Originally, Li Cunxiao and others were resting in the garrison and waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops. However, after the spies reported back, when they learned that Zhang Liao's magic guard was suppressed by Zhao Jun, Li Cunxiao and others could not sit still and planned not to wait for the follow-up When the soldiers and horses arrived, they led troops to support them in advance, but it was such a coincidence that just when Li Cunxiao and others were planning to lead an army to support Shence Guard, Wen Leng, Huan Heng, Deng Han, Deng Yu and others led more than ten thousand elites to arrive. , So the two armies joined forces and came to support together.

With the help of Deng Jun, the situation was quickly reversed. Zhao Jun was beaten to pieces, and his morale, which had just barely improved, was also beaten to pieces. Wu Tianxi's hand.

Once Zhou Kun died, Ling Yu was the only one left in the Zhao army to support the overall situation. However, Ling Yu's strength was not as good as that of Deng Jun's generals. He was defeated by Xia Houyuan and suffered many injuries on his body.

The battle lasted for three hours, and Deng Jun finally killed Zhao Jun. Except for a few surrendered, all of them died in battle, but Deng Jun himself suffered heavy casualties. In the narrow mountain road, it was Deng Jun and Zhao Jun who died in the battle The corpse is very tragic.

At this time, Ling An was also surrounded by Deng Jun, and there were only a few personal guards around him, but out of respect for Ling An, Deng Jun did not rush to kill Ling An, but chose to surround him .

At this time, Zhang Liao led the generals to come up, looked at the bloody Ling Yu in front of him, sighed, and said: "General Ling, the situation is over, if you are still willing to surrender at this moment, what I said before It’s still worth it.” Zhang Liao admired Ling An’s loyalty, and at this moment, he hoped to persuade Ling An to surrender.

"Hahaha!" Ling An raised his head to the sky and screamed, and said with a miserable smile, "Surrender? Tens of thousands of me died here? If I, Ling An, surrendered, what face would I have to go to the Nine Springs to meet my brothers in the future? "

Seeing this, Zhang Liao knew that Ling An had already made up his mind, and it was impossible for him to surrender, so he said: "General Ling, I respect you, and I can't bear to do it. You should kill yourself. This is the last respect that I will show you. !"

"Thank you!" Ling Yu glanced at Zhang Liao gratefully, then turned his gaze to the north, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I can no longer serve you, but I can tell you responsibly that I am the son of Da Zhao. There are no cowards, and I hope to be a Zhao person again in the next life!" After saying that, he drew his sword and died by slaying himself.

"Let's go, general, I'll wait!" Ling Yu's last soldiers saw Ling Yu committing suicide, they first shouted in grief and indignation, and then committed suicide on the spot.

"Hey! They are all a group of loyal people. Pass down the order, do not insult the corpses of Zhao Jun soldiers, and burial Ling An, Zhou Kun and other Zhao Jun generals!" Zhang Liao sighed and said, this is his respect for this group of loyal people. The last respect, and then Zhang Liao ordered people to clean up the battlefield and the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and he also took a group of generals back to Gucheng to report to Murong Ke.
