Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Anyone who saw this scene knew that the fire had already started, and the Qin army camp was completely destroyed.

With a bang, Wei Liao fell limply on his chariot, unable to even stand up.

Not only this big camp, but even this war, the [-] Qin State garrison is completely over!In the distance, countless defeated Qin soldiers were running all over the mountains and plains, and the hoofs of Zhao Jun's cavalry were approaching.

The arrows kept flying in the air, and the soldiers of the Qin army fell to the ground one after another.

Many soldiers of the Qin army who could no longer escape had to kneel on the ground and surrender to the pursuing Zhao army.

Looking at Wei Liao who was limp on the chariot, Meng Wu felt anxious and roared angrily: "General, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Wei Liao didn't respond, Meng Wu knew that Wei Liao was stunned because of the heavy blow, so he ignored Wei Liao immediately, and yelled at the driver of Wei Liao's chariot: "Retreat, retreat immediately, otherwise We are all going to die here!"

"General Mengwu, where are we going?"

"I can't go back to Xianyang. If the journey is too far, I will be overtaken by Zhao Jun's cavalry. Let's go to Liyang, hurry up!"

Under Meng Wu's order, the [-] personal guards stopped making any attempts to save the situation, and directly covered the combination of Wei Liao and Meng Wu, the main and deputy generals, and hurriedly left the battlefield and retreated in the direction of Liyang City in the east. .

A great escape of the Qin army and a great pursuit of the Zhao army began immediately.

Zhao Jun, with all the cavalry, gained an absolute advantage in such a pursuit. After shooting the arrows in the quiver, the Zhao Jun cavalry continued to chase with long swords and sabers, and easily chopped off a arrow. The head of a Qin army.

A few miles to the south of the battlefield is the Weishui River. After fleeing here, many Qin soldiers jumped into the nearby Weishui River, trying to swim to the other side.

However, only a few lucky ones were able to reach the opposite bank. Most of them either swam halfway through the river and sank into the river, or were directly shot and killed in the river by the chasing Zhao Jun cavalry. Corpses of soldiers.

Bleeding!That night, a rough statistical battle report was delivered to Li Mu.

In this battle, Zhao Jun killed more than [-] Qin soldiers and captured [-] Qin soldiers. Only less than [-] Qin soldiers finally escaped.

Since the Zhao army did not engage in a large-scale frontal battle with the Qin army from the beginning to the end of this battle, only 130 people died on the Zhao army side, and more than 500 people were injured, the total casualties were less than 1000.

With 1 cavalry against 5000, nearly [-] people were wiped out, and the casualties were less than [-]. This is definitely a classic example of winning more with less!Yi Qusheng looked at the battle report and admired Li Mu: "General Li Mu, you are really the best commander I have ever seen in Yi Qusheng's life!"

"The most outstanding commander?"

Li Mu smiled faintly: "King Yiqu, that's just because you haven't met my lord."

When he said this, Li Mu's eyes were full of admiration!Yi Qusheng nodded knowingly, and said: "At this time, I am really glad that my sister can become Wu Xinjun's concubine.

By the way, General Li Mu, what should we do next? "

Li Mu chuckled, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go to Xianyang!"

Chapter 460 King Qin fainted

Xianyang City, the Palace of King Qin.

Another court meeting was going on, and the atmosphere was a little tense, but also excited.

Fan Sui is still wearing a black robe that is very common in Qin State today, which makes him look naturally serious.

At this moment, the Prime Minister of the Qin State was saying seriously: "I just received the news last night that the chief general of the garrison, Wei Liao, said that he was about to start a decisive battle with the 1 cavalry of the Zhao Army Li Mu.

If all goes well, you should be able to receive the battle report of the entire battle situation later today or tomorrow. "

After Fan Sui finished speaking, King Qin immediately asked, "Does Wei Liao have confidence?"

This sounds somewhat weak, but it is also a helpless thing. Who made Zhao Jun the nemesis of Qin Jun for so many years?

Fan Sui said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wei Liao has clearly stated in the letter that he may not be able to win if it is the same number of troops, but now it is 1 to [-], Wei Liao feels that he has no defeat at all. reason."

King Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

Ying Zichu frowned slightly, and said, "Although that's the case, Li Mu is leading an army of [-] Chi You troops. This is an elite army carefully built by Lord Wu Xin and Zhao Kuo over the years. Don't let your guard down."

Fan Sui glanced at Ying Zichu, and said: "What the prince said is very true, but Wei Liao also has a wealth of knowledge in the art of war, and he should have already been prepared for the Chi You army."

Between the words, the confrontation between the two concealed a mystery, hidden under the surface of the water, but quietly agitated.

When he realized that Yingzi Chu had started to push Yangquan Jun Michen to replace Fan Sui as Xiangbang, Fan Sui knew that there was no possibility of any compromise between himself and the prince.

The king of Qin was naturally aware of the conflict between his son and Xiangbang, but the supreme ruler of the state of Qin did not show any signs of wanting to stop it.

The courtiers must have conflicts, otherwise, how can the monarch control power smoothly?

So Qin Wang quietly watched Ying Zichu and Fan Sui continue to argue.

After all, Ying Zichu was young and energetic, and he couldn't help getting angry after taking a few soft nails from Fan Sui, saying: "Wei Liao is still too young, it is an adventure for him to lead the garrison to fight against Li Mu.

Now that Wei Liaoming knew that reinforcements had returned from Hedong County, but insisted on a decisive battle with Li Mu, it was nothing more than wanting to win credit.

But who is Li Mu?

Li Mu is the number one general under Wu Xinjun's command, and the [-] Chiyou army he leads is Wu Xinjun's heart and soul.

If Wei Liao goes to a decisive battle with Li Mu with such a mentality, I don't think highly of him. "

There was also a story between Ying Zichu and Wei Liao.

After becoming the prince, the first thing Ying Zichu wanted was to win over some young generals in the army for his own use.

At the invitation of Ying Zichu, Wang Jian, Meng Wu and many other young generals of Qin State had visited Ying Zichu at the Prince's Mansion, and the conversation was quite pleasant.

Wei Liao was the only one who rejected Ying Zichu's invitation because he wanted to guard the palace for King Qin.

This undoubtedly made Ying Zichu very angry.

When Wei Liao became the chief general, Ying Zichu raised objections, hoping that Meng Wu could become the chief general.

It's just that Qin Wang didn't want the two key battlefields to be led by a member of the Meng family out of balance, so Wei Liao made the decision to be the lead and Meng Wu as the deputy.

Fan Sui said indifferently: "Great Qin Wu Anjun defeated the two famous generals of Wei Guogong Sun Xi and South Korea Baoyuan in the Battle of Yique at the age of 30, and Zhao Guowu Xinjun even won the long-term honor at the age of 25." The victory in the Battle of Ping, now that Wei Liao is about the same age as the two of them back then, who can say that Wei Liao will definitely not win?"

The two couldn't stop arguing, and after a while, King Qin felt a little impatient, and was about to announce that the meeting was over today, when suddenly the eunuch Ling of Qin State walked into the hall quickly, with a serious expression on his face.

"My lord, the latest battle report from General Wei Liao!"

Everyone fell silent immediately, watching Eunuch Ling quickly deliver the battle report.

There was obvious anticipation in Fan Sui's eyes.

After Wang Yan's death, Fan Sui had chosen several support objects, and finally decided on Wei Liao.

Wei Liao, don't let Ben Hou down!Then, something unexpected happened to everyone.

King Qin opened the battle report, read it, and his expression changed quickly.

A few seconds later, King Qin suddenly yelled: "It hurts me too!"

With a bang, King Qin's body turned backwards and fell to the ground.

This scene was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and there was chaos in the hall.

"Father!"

Ying Zichu jumped up and rushed to King Qin's side.

"The king still has breath!"

"Pass to the palace doctor, quickly pass on to the palace doctor!"

After the chaos, King Qin was carried to the apse for treatment.

Including Ying Zichu and Fan Sui, several important ministers of the Qin State came back to their senses at this time.

Ying Zichu picked up the battle report that was placed on the table, looked at it, and his face gradually became gloomy.

With a snap, Ying Zichu directly threw the battle report in front of Fan Sui, and said coldly: "Yinghou, let's see what kind of amazing achievements your most admired Wei Liao has made!"

Fan Sui had known something was wrong for a long time, and after taking a look at it now, his face turned pale and his whole body was on the verge of collapse.

"[-] soldiers and horses, lost more than [-]?

This, this" Fan Sui spent a long time, but couldn't say the next word.

Several important officials of the Qin State realized this, and all of them turned pale with shock.

It was an out-and-out fiasco!The garrison, the most elite troops in the Qin State, was nearly completely wiped out by the Zhao army under the situation of fighting more and fighting less.

Ying Zichu said coldly: "I have already said that Mr. Wu Xin has plans and traps, but you just don't listen.

Well now, let me ask you, if a mere Li Mu under Wu Xinjun's command can achieve such an astonishing record, then what amazing strategy should Wu Xinjun himself, who sits in Zhiyi, hide?

Now my father has been stunned by the Wei Liao recommended by you, I want to see how you will face your father's censure after your father wakes up! "

Fan Sui was speechless.

With the facts here, Fan Sui is powerless to refute!At this time, the eunuch order of the Qin Kingdom suddenly appeared again: "Prince, Yinghou, the king has woken up, and I call you two into the back hall!"

Ying Zichu and Fan Sui didn't care about continuing to quarrel at this time, and hurried into the apse side by side.

King Qin was lying on the wooden couch, and he had woken up at this moment, with obvious weakness on his face.

In just an hour, the King of Qin seemed to have aged five years.

King Qin took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Prince, please, send an order to Hedong to let Meng Ao and Wang Jian retreat!"

Chapter 461

Zhiyi.

Another day of fighting is over.

As usual, Zhao Kuo climbed the city wall, and he will walk through the four walls of Zhiyi accompanied by his confidantes and generals to ensure that any hidden dangers in the city defense that may lead to failure are resolved before the siege battle of the new day comes.

Although still surrounded, as the news of the retreat of the [-] Qin army spread in the city, the hearts of the people in Zhiyi City were greatly inspired and encouraged.

Not to mention the military spirit, the fact that "Wu Xinjun is with us" itself is the greatest motivation for all Zhao soldiers.

Everyone knows that Wu Xinjun has always been victorious in every battle!As Zhao Kuo walked, he communicated with several confidants around him.

"The Qin people's offensive seems to have weakened a lot recently."

"Yes, sir, the Qin army may have figured it out, and is transitioning from an all-out siege to a long-term siege."

"Long-term siege?

Meng Ao was a little too confident, he didn't really think that the dignified Zhao would really let him attack Hedong County like this and remain indifferent. "

"I think this may be Meng Ao's helpless move, because the deployment of [-] soldiers may make him unable to do what he wants."

Meng Ao was very angry.

In the large tent, Meng Ao was slapping the table, angrily scolding the generals of the Qin army in front of him.

"Look, what kind of battles have you been fighting these days?

Don't think that this general doesn't know, you just waver and feel that the siege has become more difficult, and each of you wants to preserve your strength, right?

This general tells you that now we are fighting for the Great Qin, and we are facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy like Wu Xinjun!If you don't put away your damned little thoughts, and continue to deal with the siege like yesterday and today, then the general, no matter who your backer is, must follow your military law, understand?

Alright, now go back to this general, and continue to prepare for tomorrow's siege! "

After a while, many generals of the Qin army left, leaving only Meng Ao and his deputy Wang Jian in the big tent.

Wang Jian hesitated to speak, but after a while he continued to speak: "General, if you reprimand them like this, I'm afraid they will go back and sue in the future."

Meng Ao snorted heavily, and said: "A group of useless things, at any time, they are still thinking about fighting for power, thinking about Guanzhong people and Guandong people, they are so stupid!"

In the country of Qin, there has always been a distinction between native faction and outsider faction, which is what Meng Ao called Guanzhong people and Guandong people.

As a native of Qi, Meng Ao undoubtedly belonged to the Guandong people. It was precisely because of this identity that he was actually resisted by some local generals in Guanzhong of Qin after he became the chief general.

A worried expression appeared on Wang Jian's face, and said: "It's already reached this time, but it's still alas, this battle is really not easy to fight."

Meng Ao's face was very firm, and he said: "No matter what, we must defeat Wu Xinjun here this time. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to contain Wu Xinjun in the future!"

While speaking, there was a rush of footsteps, and then Meng Ao's chief guard walked in: "My lord, King Xianyang urgently ordered!"

Meng Ao was slightly startled, and said: "Quick, bring it to me to have a look."

Looking at the urgent order in front of him, Meng Ao lost his voice as if struck by lightning, "This, how is this possible?"

Seeing this, Wang Jian suddenly knew something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "General, what happened?"

Meng Ao raised his head with a livid face, and said word by word: "Wei Liao led a garrison of [-] troops to a decisive battle with Li Mu outside Gaoling City, but was defeated by Li Mu with a small number of victories, only less than [-] of the [-] troops managed to escape! "

Wang Jian was taken aback: "This, how could this happen?"

Since Wang Jian was born in the Wang family of the generals of the Qin State, he was a member of the garrison just after he joined the army, and even what kind of elite army the garrison was.
