Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Xu Li's face was a little dignified: "My lord, the Wei army's resistance is still fierce."

On the densely packed ladders, soldiers of Zhao Jun could be seen falling down almost every moment.

Arrows kept falling from the top of the city, causing a lot of damage to the Zhao army outside the city.

Zhao Kuo's face was unmoved, and he said lightly: "It's nothing more than the end of the battle."

Zhao Jun's half a month was not just a waste of time.

Two huge wooden building carts have been erected outside the city. The height of the highest floor of the building carts is even two or three feet higher than the city wall. Wei Jun launched long-range suppression.

Under such long-range suppression, Wei Jun's archers on the top of the city were also killed in large numbers, which made Wei Jun's suppression of Zhao Jun outside the city insufficient.

Every once in a while, the warriors of the Zhao army would rush up to the city wall, brandishing their weapons and start hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Wei army.

Not to be outdone, Wei Jun killed and retreated Zhao Jun who rushed to the city wall time and time again.

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said, "Did you see it?

In the past, the place where the enemy and us saw each other was outside the city wall, but now the place where the enemy and us saw each other has reached the city wall.

The Wei army can repel 99 offensives of our army, but as long as a wave of Wei people make mistakes, then our army will be able to break into the city and completely win the victory! "

When Zhao Kuo spoke, his tone was calm and he was not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent." This sentence means that using soldiers is like flowing water, and different choices must be made according to different battlefield situations.

Zhao Kuo's previous battles were either disadvantageous battles like the Battle of Changping, Lingqiu, and Tanghe, or balanced battles like the Battle of Lichen and the Battle of Hedong.

The common point of these two battles is that Zhao Kuo's troops are not strong enough, so winning by surprise has become Zhao Kuo's first choice.

Today's battle of Pingqiu is completely different from before.

Zhao Kuo now holds an absolute advantage in his hands, and compared to the Wei army in Pingqiu City, it can be called a crushing military advantage. Therefore, Zhao Kuo doesn't need to think about any strategies at all, just push an order directly.

This is also the idea that Zhao Kuo has been carrying out in this war. It is said that two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Now this Marquis is beating Lord Xinling madly with eight or twelve hands. I don’t believe how long you can support it. !At this time, a flying horse galloped up and reported a new news to Zhao Kuo.

"Your Majesty, the figure of the Chu army was found thirty miles away. According to the news of the Chu army, the Qin-Han coalition army is twenty miles behind the Chu army, and it is only fifty miles away from us!"

Chapter 361 Can't beat Pingqiu City?

This news immediately made everyone around Zhao Kuo nervous.

Zhao Kuo's face darkened slightly, and he said with some doubts: "Didn't the Chu people confront the Koreans outside Daliang City? Why did they come to Benhou all of a sudden?"

Pingqiu and Daliang City are more than 100 miles away!This answer was quickly obtained from Li Yuan sent by Chun Shenjun.

"Meet Wu Xinjun!"

Li Yuan saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully.

To this day, except for a few giants in the Chinese world such as King Qin, King Zhao, and Mr. Pingyuan, anyone else who sees Zhao Kuo must put his attitude to the lowest level, even Li Yuan, who is the uncle of the state of Chu. The same is true.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Yuan in front of him, and a gentle smile flickered on the corner of his mouth: "So it's Doctor Li Yuan. I don't know something about the Marquis. Why did you Chu army suddenly appear here?"

Li Yuan smiled shyly, and said, "Actually, it's mainly because Qin Jun suddenly appeared outside Daliang City, so" Looking at Li Yuan who hesitated to speak but looked embarrassed, Zhao Kuo felt that he had understood the whole thing after.

Obviously, Chunshen Jun was scared out of his wits by the 20 Qin army who suddenly appeared outside Daliang City!Chunshen Jun only has 28 Chu troops in his hands, so it is safe to fight against [-] Han troops, but he is overthinking his ability to fight against [-] Qin-Han coalition troops.

So Chun Shenjun ran away without saying a word.

This Chu State Commander Yin is still a little clever. He didn't directly withdraw to the Chu State, but retreated in the direction of Zhao Kuo. Obviously, he planned to join Zhao Kuo and then fight the Qin people.

It's just that Zhao Kuo's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Since Mr. Chunshen had withdrawn from Daliang City to the east a few days ago, why didn't this Marquis receive any news!"

Now is the time of war, and the blockade of Wei's territory is very high, it is difficult for Zhao Kuo's nightingales to pass on the news.

The Zhao cavalry scouts' alert range was only [-] miles around the entire battlefield, so they didn't discover the movement of the Chu army until just now.

What does it feel like when a person faces Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's anger?

Although he had already made mental preparations, Li Yuan still felt out of breath at this moment.

Zhao Kuo in front of him seems to have turned into an extremely powerful prehistoric beast. As long as Li Yuan's answer is not so satisfactory to Zhao Kuo, Li Yuan will be completely torn apart!Li Yuan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said tremblingly: "This, that, go back to Lord Wu Xin, maybe, maybe my lord has forgotten."

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Yuan: "" This Li Yuan is also famous in the history books after all, and he killed Chun Shenjun. Why does he look like an idiot now?

Although Li Yuan's performance was very poor, Zhao Kuo still understood what happened from Li Yuan's answer.

Chun Shenjun dare not tell Zhao Kuo!Why not?

Because Chun Shenjun was afraid that Zhao Kuo would refuse, and was afraid that Zhao Kuo would directly ask Chun Shenjun to block the Qin and Han coalition forces, so that Zhao Jun could have a chance to attack Pingqiu City.

If that was the case, the Zhao army would certainly have more time to attack Pingqiu City, but if one hundred thousand Chu troops went to stop the 28 Qin and Han coalition forces, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

If heavy casualties had already been paid here, how could Lord Chunshen complete the mission entrusted to him by the King of Chu to recover Nanyang County and Nanjun's homeland?

To put it bluntly, Lord Chunshen actually chose the interests of Chu State and Lord Chunshen at the expense of the interests of Zhao State and Zhao Kuo!Zhao Kuo was silent, his eyes kept going back and forth on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat slowly dripped from his forehead.

At this moment, Li Yuan hated Chun Shenjun so much, didn't this mean that Li Yuan was sent to die!Fortunately, after a while, Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed.

"The Marquis of Chunshen already understands what Jun Shen means.

How about this, you immediately reply to Chun Shenjun, saying that no matter what, the Qin and Han coalition forces must not reach the outside of Pingqiu City today, otherwise the Marquis will be very unhappy, understand? "

Li Yuan nodded again and again: "Understood, understood.

A certain person must reply to my lord, and let him block the Qin and Han coalition forces from Pingqiu City! "

Li Yuan left in a hurry, already covered in sweat when he left.

The meeting this time obviously caused a serious psychological shadow on Li Yuan, and it also completely changed Li Yuan's previous impression of Zhao Kuo.

"It turns out that when this Wu Xinjun showed his power, his power was so strong!"

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yuan thought with some fear, the doctor of the Chu State subconsciously compared Zhao Kuo with the King of Chu and Lord Chunshen whom he had been in contact with the most.

After a while, Li Yuan came to a conclusion.

Zhao Kuo's power is much more severe than that of King Chu or Chun Shenjun.

Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and murmured.

"So terrifying, so terrifying!"

Watching Li Yuan's carriage gradually move away, Zhao Kuo's expression gradually became serious.

Around Zhao Kuo, the faces of Zhao Jun's generals were also very solemn.

Whether the distance of fifty miles is long or short is very delicate.

200 years ago in the early days of the Warring States period, the general Wu Qi trained the marching standards of Wei soldiers as "clothes with armor of three attributes, wield a crossbow of twelve stones, carry fifty negative arrows, put spears on top, wear a crown with a sword, and win food for three days." , and go a hundred miles in the middle of the day."

In the middle of the day, that is, at noon, you can cover a distance of [-] miles.

The Qin-Han Allied Forces had a lot of baggage to bear, and their speed would definitely not be as fast as the young Wei soldiers, but as long as they drove with all their strength, the Qin-Han Allied Forces could still reach the outside of Pingqiu City before dusk.

Once the Qin and Han coalition forces arrived, the situation on the entire battlefield was really completely different.

In order to guard against the 28 Qin and Han coalition forces, Zhao Jun must temporarily stop attacking Pingqiu City at that time, otherwise there will be a risk of being attacked by the Qin and Han coalition forces from the flank.

What should I do?

After sieging the city for so long and paying so many soldiers' deaths and injuries, is it necessary to give up because of the sudden arrival of the Qin and Han coalition forces?

All eyes were on Zhao Kuo, full of expectations.

No matter at any time, you can always trust Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo to come up with a solution.

Because he is Zhao Guo's invincible army god!Zhao Kuo said calmly, "Where is Li Mu?"

Right beside Zhao Kuo, a young general flashed out immediately: "Master, Li Mu is here!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu and said calmly: "You heard what you said just now.

Benhou will send all five thousand Chiyou troops to you, and you will immediately lead your troops to attack the city. You must take this damned Pingqiu city to Benhou before sunset today! "

Chapter 362

Facing Zhao Kuo's order, Li Mu didn't hesitate at all, but instead showed a very excited expression on his face, and said loudly: "Here!"

Seeing Li Mu gallop away, the smile on Zhao Kuo's face became more and more serene.

As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, Li Mu and Chi You's army today are exactly the winners that Zhao Kuo will fight at this critical moment!When they heard Zhao Kuo's words, many people present were a little stunned, with doubts on their faces.

A general of the Zhao army couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, isn't your Chi You army cavalry?"

Judging from the expressions, it is obvious that many people have the same doubts as the general.

After several battles, the Chi You Army under Zhao Kuo's command has already become a well-known regiment in the world, and it is also the only heavy armored cavalry regiment in the entire Chinese world.

Zhao Kuo looked at the general Zhao Jun and couldn't help laughing: "Who said that the Marquis Chi You's army is only cavalry?"

Ben Hou's Chi You army can not only fight on horseback, but also go to heaven and earth, omnipotent!In Pingqiu City, the city guard's mansion.

Lord Xinling and Jin Bi were sitting in the study room, listening to the reports from various defensive positions on the city wall.

"The east wall is in a hurry. About fifteen soldiers from the Zhao army came up. Our army is fighting the Zhao army!"

"The northern city wall is in a hurry! There are at least [-] or so Zhao soldiers going to the city, and the gap is still widening."

In this regard, Lord Xinling also issued timely orders one by one.

"Let the Dongcheng side be firmly defended. That side is not the main direction of Zhao Jun's attack. This Marquis does not have so many troops to support him at this time."

"Send another [-] reserve troops to the northern city wall. That's the main direction of the Zhao people's attack. Stop the Zhao people at all costs!"

Hearing this, Jin Bi couldn't help coughing, and reminded softly, "Mr. Xinling, our last reserve team of 500 people was sent by you to the north city wall half an hour ago."

Lord Xinling was taken aback when he heard the words.

In other words, there is no reserve team in Pingqiu City!Lord Xinling took a deep breath and said, "Then send the Marquis' personal guards up there too!"

Jin Bi's face changed slightly, and after a few seconds, he said softly: "Your Honor, there are only 500 people left in your personal guard."

As a well-known nobleman in the Kingdom of Wei, Mr. Xinling had thousands of followers and three thousand personal guards.

However, these days, because Zhao Jun's offensive was too fierce, Mr. Xinling had to send his personal guards to the front line to rescue the field again and again.

Since the places sent to save the field are often the places where Zhao Jun's offensive is the most violent, so after more than half a month, the 500 pro-guards have fought hard and there are only more than [-] people left.

Judging from Zhao Jun's fierce offensive, if these 500 people are sent up again, not many of them will survive.

More importantly, without the cover of these loyal and highly skilled personal guards, if Pingqiu City was really breached, Lord Xinling would have no possibility of escaping from this city.

Lord Xinling took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "It's such a time, why do you care so much?

Come on, send them all! "

After a pause, Lord Xinling looked around at the people present, and said in a deep voice: "This Marquis knows that the current battle situation is extremely critical, but I also want to tell you that the more urgent Zhao Guo's attack is, the more proof we have The reinforcements have approached Pingqiu City.

As long as everyone grit their teeth and stick to it for a while longer, reinforcements will definitely arrive, and the crisis in Lingqiu City will definitely be lifted! "

Mr. Xinling's decision and his resolute expression obviously convinced everyone, everyone suddenly agreed, and started to move vigorously one by one.

Only Jin Bi looked at Lord Xinling with mixed emotions in his heart.

As the deputy general of the Wei army, Jin Bi is the only person other than Lord Xinling who can know all the inside information of the Wei army.

reinforcements?

Pingqiu City was blocked half a month ago so that even the birds could not fly out, so where did Lord Xinling in the city have the ability to know if there was any reinforcements?

On the vast Hedong Plain, 28 Qin and Han coalition forces are advancing eastward.

"Too slow, too slow!"

Wang Lu is a person with a good personality, but this time he still lost his temper unavoidably.

The military situation is urgent!Beside Wang He was Meng Ao, the deputy general of the Qin army, and Feng Ting, the commander of the Han army. Both of them had the same obvious impatience on their faces as Wang He.

Feng Ting said worriedly: "Pingqiu City has been besieged for 20 days, I don't know if Lord Xinling can hold on."

South Korea and Wei Guo have been suffering brothers and sisters for many years. The relationship between the two countries can be said to be a bitter relationship, and the interests are very close.

Meng Ao took a deep breath and said, "It's less than forty miles away from Pingqiu City, but still haven't encountered Zhao's army, which means that the Zhao people definitely haven't conquered Pingqiu yet!"

Suddenly, Wang Lu pointed at the horizon: "Look!"

At the end of the plain as far as the eye can see, a city is slowly appearing in the eyes of the three of them.

It is Pingqiu City that Lord Xinling has been supporting so hard!In the north outside Pingqiu City, there is a large camp with an astonishing scale that stretches endlessly. It is the camp of Zhao Jun with thousands of troops and horses.
