Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

When Jingyang received Zhaozhong's request for help again, he was also stunned all of a sudden.

"How long has it been? Why can't you stand it anymore?"

Frankly speaking, Jingyang is indeed very speechless.

You must know that among the two camps outside the city, the camp on the east side has not requested reinforcements yet, but the camp on the west side has requested reinforcements for the second time.

This even made Jingyang suspicious in his mind, wondering if this Zhao Zhong wanted to preserve his strength in the name of asking for reinforcements?

But soon Jingyang dispelled this suspicion. After all, everyone is very clear about the current situation. If Zhaozhong really wants to preserve his strength, he will definitely not be able to preserve his strength to end this war.

So Jingyang once again issued an order, and once again dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to the west camp for support.

This is also the greatest support that Jingyang can do right now. After all, Zhao Kuo's main force is still staring at the front, and Jingyang can't put most of the main force on resources, otherwise the city will not be able to defend.

But before Jingyang's support troops arrived at the camp on the west side, another news came.

A Chu general came to Jingyang with a pale face, and reported to Jingyang: "Sima, the situation is not good. The western camp has been completely breached!"

After Jingyang heard the news, he subconsciously took two steps back and almost fell down from the high platform.

Not only Jingyang, but the generals of the Chu army beside him were also shocked when they heard the news.

Everyone was mentally prepared for the possibility of losing before starting the war, but they also never imagined that in less than a day, the original camp on the west side that was carefully arranged by the Chu army turned out to be like this. Fallen.

Li Mu stared at the camp on the west side in the distance, with a smile on his lips.

"Increase troops?

What's the use of increasing troops! "

At this moment Li Mu can be said to be very happy.

Just as Li Mu had expected before, the Han army was indeed unstoppable. After breaking through two lines of defense, they broke through the third line of defense again in a short period of time.

This is also mainly because when the last line of defense was approached by the Han army, many generals of the Chu army guarding here felt that the situation was over, so they stopped holding on and led their subordinates to flee.

When this situation fell into the eyes of other friendly troops, the other generals and soldiers of the Chu army either simply fled along with them, even if they did not flee, they lost any morale at all.

Under such circumstances, the fall of the third line of defense was much faster than the other two lines of defense, so much so that even Jingyang's reinforcements had not arrived before it was breached.

Jing Jing stood on the top of the city, and subconsciously looked towards the camp on the west side in the distance.

At this moment, gunpowder smoke was still billowing in the camp on the west side, and there was even a lot of thick smoke coming out, which should be because some tents were set ablaze during the battle.

Looking at it, Jingyang's heart gradually sank.

He was very clear in his heart that the camp on the west side was over, and so was Zhao Zhong.

This is only one day.

At this moment, Jingyang really felt a very powerless feeling in his heart.

This feeling is that Mingming Jingyang has used his intelligence to the highest score, but in the end after the battle, he found that Jingyang's so-called intelligence was like a clown in front of Zhao Kuo, not worth mentioning.

This kind of game is more shocking than the previous one where you lose because you don't perform well, and it can even be said to be a devastating blow to a person's confidence.

Jingyang took a deep breath, finally managed to stabilize his body, and did not let himself fall on the spot.

In the big camp on the west side, the despair in Zhaozhong's heart was stronger than that of Jingyang.

After all, Jingyang is still in the city, but Zhaozhong is in the camp on the west side that has been broken by the Han army.

Zhao Zhong could even hear the approaching cries of killing, he knew that Han's army was close at hand.

Beside Zhao Zhong, a young general was urging with a very anxious expression: "Father, leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Zhaozhong shook his head and patted the young general on the shoulder.

"My child, don't you know?

It's too late. "

Zhao Zhong knew very well that the fall of the west camp was not accidental, because Zhao Zhong had already tried his best on this matter.

In other words, the Chu army has actually achieved a combat level of 100 points, but it is a pity that they encountered the Han army with a strength of more than 150 points.

Under such circumstances, as Zhao Zhong said, it was already too late, and all meaning had been lost.

Zhao Zhong smiled, and said to his favorite child in front of him: "After the old man dies, you remember to lead all the remaining clansmen to surrender immediately. From now on, you must remember the old man's words and be a good person." The name is Zhao Guo, no, it is a good citizen of Han Guo.

Never, never think about revenge, and never forget that you are a Chu countryman, understand? "

The young general seemed to have realized something, with an extremely sad expression in his eyes, and nodded slightly after a while.

Zhaozhong was obviously relieved, he looked up at the countless Han troops swarming in front of him, and finally burst into a burst of laughter.

"Being able to lose in the hands of Zhao Kuo is considered an unjust death for this old man!"

After saying this, Zhaozhong directly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and wiped it hard towards his neck.

Amidst the heart-piercing cries of the young Chu general, Zhaozhong's body fell heavily on the ground, and then his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

The camp on the west side of Chu Kingdom has officially fallen!

Chapter 1106

When Zhaozhong was killed in battle, his son immediately surrendered to the Han army with the rest of the Zhao clan, and the resistance in the western camp soon ended.

When it was dusk, Li Mu had already entered the big camp here in his own chariot surrounded by many Han soldiers.

If you look at it from the camp of the Han army, Xiacai City is actually quite far away, but if you look at it from the camp on the west side, the city is already close at hand.

Looking at Xiacai City, which was so close at hand, Li Mu couldn't help showing a sneer.

"What's the use of doing all that fancy stuff all day long?

True strength cannot be defeated by relying on these things. "

On the other side, Zhao Kuo also received the news, and then also showed a smile on his face.

"Judging by the current speed, this war should end soon."

Zhao Kuo said this to the many Han generals in front of him.

This is really not Zhao Kuo's boasting. After all, it only took one day to break through the western camp of the Chu people. Then it will take a few days at most, or even ten days and a half months if it is farther away. In time, the city can almost be broken.

Xiacai City is now the last line of defense for the Chu people. Once this city is breached by the Han army, the Chu people will completely lose all their strength to continue fighting with the Han.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the generals of the Han Kingdom naturally echoed one after another, and their hearts were full of joy.

After all, everyone knows that as long as Chu is destroyed, the world will be completely unified.

At that time, as the heroes who led the Han Dynasty to rule the world, everyone will be able to enjoy their old age happily at home.

Zhao Kuo didn't know what the generals under his command were thinking, otherwise he would have said with a smile that the thinking of these generals was absolutely stupid and naive.

But in any case, since the camp on the west side has been broken, then Zhao Kuo announced the battle plan for the next day as a matter of course.

"Starting tomorrow, we will put our main force in the direction of attacking the camp on the east side.

As for the camp on the west side, of course, we must continue to send troops to attack the city, so as to contain the power of the city, and we must not allow the city to continue to support the camp on the east side.

After these two camps are captured, then we can launch a general attack on the city and completely end this war. "

Facing Zhao Kuo's order, all the generals of the Han army present naturally responded in unison.

Zhao Kuo slept very soundly that night, but his opponent Jingyang was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

On the one hand, Jingyang was under great pressure from the war, and on the other hand, it was because he heard the news of Zhaozhong's death.

Although Zhaozhong is now Jingyang's political enemy and the person Jingyang most wants to get rid of, Zhaozhong's death is outright bad news for Jingyang.

Because this means that Zhaozhong's Zhao family has completely declined, and the three major families have become two major families since then.

If it was placed in peacetime, this would definitely be a very good thing. Jingyang could lead his Jing family to invade wildly and obtain the extra power vacuum after the decline of the Zhao family.

But now is the time of war, and the powerful Zhao family has been wiped out in today's war, and the Chu State has lost more than 5 soldiers and horses.

Now Jingyang only has about 13 soldiers and horses in his hands, while Zhao Kuo on the opposite side still has nearly 30 soldiers and horses. The pressure is too great.

With the addition of the absence of the west camp, Jingyang's entire defense concept was a complete failure.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that the defeat of the entire war seems to be within sight.

What should we do?

Even Jingyang himself couldn't get any answers.

The night passed, and the dawn of the second day came again.

Just like the day before, Han's army also started to line up when the sun rose, and soon launched the day's offensive.

It's just that compared with yesterday, the Han army put the main force of the attack on the east side of the camp this time, and launched an extremely violent offensive against the east side of the camp.

Jingyang had expected this at first, but when the war really broke out, he discovered that the Han army's attack on the camp on the east side was far beyond his expectations.

Not only the camp on the east side, but Li Mu in the camp on the west side also sent a large number of troops to attack Xiacai City at this time.

This time, Jingyang was in a dilemma, because he couldn't continue to withdraw soldiers and horses to support the camp on the east side. After all, his most important task was to defend the city of Xiacai.

And when the war progressed to noon, something that worried Jingyang even more happened, that is, the main force of Zhao Kuozhong's army, who had been standing still, finally joined the battle and launched an attack on Xiacai City.

In this way, the original direction of Jingyang's three pillars has now lost a corner, as if a three-legged bronze tripod has lost one corner and has become precarious.

But Jingyang also knew very well that besides continuing to persevere, what better way could he have?

In order to hold on, Jingyang also used all kinds of strategies, and even sent people to walk back and forth on the city with great fanfare, trying to create an illusion that the Chu army was still very large.

But in the face of Jingyang's various strategies, the Han army was completely indifferent, just upholding the way of war yesterday, just attacking the city, and you can worry about other things by yourself.

And with the development of the Han army's attack level, it seems that the super weapon explosive that makes Jingyang and all Chu people fear has begun to appear.

A Chu general came to Jingyang in disbelief, and said loudly to Jingyang, "Dear Sima, the Han people have sent many carriages, and the carriages may contain the explosives they have been talking about! "

When Jingyang heard the news, he jumped up immediately, and said to the subordinates in front of him anxiously: "You immediately send an order to let all the soldiers on the city wall launch rockets immediately, and destroy all these explosive vehicles. Blowing them up will definitely not allow them to reach under the city."

After several years of careful research on explosives, Jingyang also has some experience. For example, he knows that explosives will explode immediately when they encounter fire.

Under Jingyang's order, many rockets immediately shot at those explosive vehicles. Sure enough, one of the explosive vehicles caught fire and began to explode very soon. The rumbling sound could be heard even in Jingyang in the city.

After getting the news that this combat method was effective, Jingyang was even more overjoyed, and repeatedly asked the Chu soldiers on the city wall not to take it lightly, and to use rockets to directly submerge all the explosive vehicles.

However, what Jingyang didn't know was that what he did was exactly what Zhao Kuo expected.

Because Zhao Kuo's idea is not to say that the city of Xiacai must be broken directly, but that the camp on the east side must be removed first, so that he can win the entire war step by step.

In order to achieve this, Zhao Kuo specially arranged for an explosive vehicle to be blown up in Chu State, which made Jingyang get a wrong message, thinking that Zhao Kuo was indeed planning to capture Caicheng.

In this way, Jingyang will concentrate all the main forces in the city, and will never release even a single soldier to support the camp on the east side.

Sure enough, later in the day, another piece of good news worth celebrating came. The camp on the east side of the Chu army was also broken.

The only difference from the camp on the west side is that Qu Feng, the guard of the camp on the east side, did not choose to commit suicide like Zhao Zhong did. Instead, under the persuasion of General Xiang Yan of the Han Dynasty, he chose to lead all the soldiers and horses of the Qu clan to surrender. The country of Han.

After the news came out, it was another very major blow to Jingyang.

At the same time, for other Chu generals, this news was also a very, very serious psychological shock.

Among the three major families of Chu State, only the Jingyang and Jing clans still guarding Xiacai City are left.

Thinking about how glorious it was when the three major families ruled the Chu country, but now only Jingyang is left struggling to support it, and all this happened only two days later.

If it is a slow decline, then everyone can actually understand it, but now this kind of decline, which is almost falling at the speed of light, definitely makes everyone feel terrified.

After all, when even the pillars of the Chu Kingdom, such as the three major families, are collapsing one by one, who knows if the end of the Chu Kingdom is just around the corner?

As the general of the Chu army, Jingyang should have made some speeches at this time to stabilize the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army, but at this time Jingyang was obviously not in the mood to do so, instead locked himself up, No one was seen in the study.

This kind of behavior of Jingyang is actually self-dispelling pressure, which is also his usual habit, but what he did not expect is that this habit has brought great psychological pressure to the soldiers of Chu State at this time.

Everyone didn't know what Jingyang's usual habits were, but after hearing the news, everyone subconsciously felt that Jingyang should have been beaten by Zhao Kuo to be autistic.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield was so bad, and the general was beaten into a self-imposed state by Zhao Kuo, the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army naturally fell again and again, falling endlessly.

On the other hand, the morale of the Han army led by Zhao Kuo became more and more high.

After all, the two big camps and one city in front of him seemed quite difficult to mess with.

But it was this kind of defense line that was very difficult to mess with, but it took only two days for the Han army to capture the two camps outside the city.

If even the state of Chu is nothing more than that, isn't the real victory just around the corner?

On the third day, all the soldiers of the Han army were full of fighting spirit. They got up early, and after breakfast, they lined up outside the city and looked towards Xiacai City in front of them.

Zhao Kuo also stood on the chariot of the chief general, and smiled to the surrounding generals of the Han army, "If possible, we can save a lot of trouble in the future by taking this city down today. "
