Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 801: The Death of Zhiyao (Part 1)

Remember [??.] in one second, providing you with a wonderful reading.

ps: In the thinking plot, there is only one chapter today...

Although the three armies of Zhao, Wei, and Han were allied, they were separated when they camped. They were three miles away from Guanglang City, and the three large villages formed an horn with each other.

Ran Qiu and other generals under Zhao Wuxi were good at training the army. He was responsible for supervising the construction of the two large camps in the west and south. They were built according to local conditions, not sticking to the usual situation, and formed according to the terrain. On the west barrier, the Haogou in front of the camp was separated by layers of Feng Yuan, and there were passages left in the formation, which were closely guarded. Within the wooden wall, there is an arrow tower every 20 steps, and a nest tower every 100 steps. Not even a bird can escape, let alone a human being.

At night, there are still teams of patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time, whispering and shouting in response to the sound of sentry orders from time to time, the atmosphere is awesome.

Zhao Wuxi's central army tent was near, and more than a hundred black-clothed guards were calm and carefully guarding the surroundings. Although they were in the camp, they were still cautious.

At this moment, the lights were bright in the central army tent, and a military meeting had just ended. After the generals left one after another, only Zhao Wuxi and Xiang Tu, who were slightly tired, were left.

"My lord, are we going to start a formal storm? In this case, I'm afraid the casualties will not be small." Xiang Qu asked the plan to attack the Light Wolf City on the case.

Zhao Wuxi asked the vertical man who was rubbing his temples to step back, and said to Xiang Lu: "If you are surrounded and do not attack, the drums will be loud, and you will be pressing step by step. The longer the time goes, the lower the morale of the defenders will be. In ten days, when the enemy's army runs out of food, they will abandon the city and flee, and at that time they will take advantage of the big camp and attack it without any effort. Is this what you think?"

"That's what the minister thinks!"

"Unfortunately, I can't wait that long."

Zhao Wuxi pulled all the clutter off the table, leaving only a few slips and letters that had been drawn up long ago.

"Winning a war depends not only on knives and swords, but also on silk and ink..."

While preparing the final offensive plan, Zhao Wuxi had to jump out of this small place and look at the entire Jin Kingdom. The news of the Battle of Changping should almost reach Xinjiang. Since Wei Hao has already betrayed him, there must be a **** storm inside and outside the Xiqi Palace. Wei Ju has not been able to work hard these days, and he must have deliberately delayed the time so that the situation in Xinjiang would fall into his Wei's hands.

That's why he sent a partial division to the west, and the main force can't be dragged here for too long.

"Guanglang City is a small place, and there are only ten thousand soldiers and no more than one hundred generals. Now they have lost the benefits of the mountains behind them. Only relying on the walls of several feet high can't stop our army from attacking, but the three families are unwilling to do their best. , this will make the other generation live three more days. Now that I know the real situation in the city, I will only wait for the public transport team to build the catapult the day after tomorrow, and the Light-Breaking Wolf City will be like a bag. Stay, rush out ahead of time, you know, I only left a few guards on the mountain road in the northwest, this line of life looks very attractive..."

After saying these things lightly, Zhao Wuxi continued to ask Xiang Yu to help him, and filled each piece of pale yellow bamboo paper with seal characters and stamped it with the seal of the Zhao family head, which was then sealed in batches of worship or bamboo tubes.

They will be sent to the independent doctors in the west of Taihang in the Jin State. The dust of the war has settled, and they should almost learn to learn from the Wei clan's "righteousness". Zhao Wuxi is not interested in letting the army go from one mountain to another for a long time. siege.

He hopes to draw a successful conclusion to the battle of the six ministers of Jin within this year!

For a time, the inside and outside of the tent seemed extraordinarily quiet, and only the footsteps of the patrolling guards in black and the rustling of the pen on the paper could be heard...

Suddenly, Zhao Wuxi stopped reading the content of the letter. His ears moved, and he seemed to hear something. Xiang Lu also stopped writing and looked around blankly with a puzzled expression.

It seems to be shouting and killing in the distance, and there are also golden drums, but it is not from Zhao Ying, but in a very far away position...

Northwest?

"Here..." Just after Zhao Wuxi's words, Qi Wan opened the tent and walked in, cupping his hands: "Master, Xiying is here to report, the Zhijun has broken through!"

...

"What, break through?" A few hours ago, after Yu Rang claimed that he was willing to risk his own life to assassinate Zhao Wuxi, the plan was rejected by Zhiyao. The gentleman of the Zhi clan immediately proposed a new plan, which made Yu Rang and Xu Que stunned at the same time.

Seeing the miserable state of the two right-hand men, Zhiyao couldn't help feeling sour. Among the three thousand dead, only a few of Yu Rang survived. They were his elites. Although they failed to break through the barriers of the Zhao army, it was because the enemy army was well prepared, and Wei Ju's villain betrayed him.

After Wei's rebellion, the battle had already been lost. Yu Rang took the dead men to block the Zhao army's attack on him, so that the Zhi army would not be completely annihilated on the east bank of the Danshui. How could he allow him to venture into Zhao Ying again for a 1% chance of assassination?

He asked himself that he couldn't treat his officials like passers-by and lackeys...

Instead, look for another opportunity, although there is only a 1 in 10 chance of success...

Zhiyao supported the kendo: "Yes, from the top of the city, you can see that the Zhao army is heavily defended, let alone a living person, even birds can't fly in. You just escaped from the dead, and you will only die in vain if you go in again. What about the head of the Zhao family's sacrificial flag? Instead of sending one person to death in vain, it is better for seven thousand soldiers to seek life together and break out!"

Yu Rang's eyes were like bronze bells. His skill was one of the best among the vassals of all the officials and generals of Jin. He was able to walk on flat ground in the rugged and steep mountains. He sneaked into a military camp without being discovered, but if he knew that the army had broken through in a collective way, he didn't think there was any hope.

"The current situation is that there is no hope of breaking through the siege. There are only seven or eight thousand guards, including wounded soldiers, which seems to be a lot, but there are more Zhao, Wei and Han outside the city, and there are a total of 70,000 troops! Our army is defending the lonely city. There is no way forward, no reinforcements behind, and the food and grass are only enough for three days. Now that the enemy knows that the Light Wolf City is empty and real, and has a siege weapon that sends flying stones, the next siege will be more ferocious. How about taking seven thousand soldiers to return it? Can you stop the enemy’s full-strength attack tenfold? The soldiers who have gone through the **** battle have no food, can’t they be as brave as these three days and repel the enemy’s attack tenaciously?”

The generals and officials nodded their heads, knowing that what Yao said made sense. The food in Guanglang City was shipped from the Duan family, and the food from the Duan family was shipped from Shangdang, Xinjiang, and Anyi. If it is cut off, if the Zhijun does not break through the encirclement and the food supply is exhausted, they can only be captured.

Breakthrough may not be successful now, but there is finally a glimmer of hope. The deadly rule will be wiped out. This choice is actually very simple!

Yu Rang put down his daring assassination plan, bowed down and said, "I would like to follow the lord to break out of the siege, Yu Rang will still be the forerunner of the gentleman as before, this time, even if I am the only one left, I will fight to the end! "

After Yu Rang, Xue Zai also slowly bowed down, his eyes were firm, although he was speechless, everyone could understand his determination.

All the guards at the head of the city bowed down and bowed to their heads. All eyes turned to Zhiyao. With his strong left hand, he pulled out the long sword from his waist. The blackened blade was in stark contrast with the still crystal clear hilt. , pointing to the overlapping circles.

"I think the three camps of Zhao, Wei and Han are very organized, but they can't respond to each other. This is our chance. Immediately bury the pot and make rice, so that everyone can eat and drink, and tonight when they are ugly, they will break out! It is life or death. In this fight, I will bring the soldiers of the eight thousand Zhi clan's disciples here, and I will bring you back again!"

...

There is no war tonight, the sky is gradually gray and dark, the night is falling slowly, the howling mountain wind is like the wail of thousands of unjust souls, whistling, it blows through the Danshui River Valley, stops at the foot of the Guanglang City, and blows the big net at the top of the city. , also messed up Zhiyao's loose long hair, and blew up his cloak.

The soldiers had a full meal, and the rations of the dead Paoze became their food. After eating and drinking, they silently wiped their weapons. Looking at the campfire in the Zhao Wei Han camp outside the city, they were full of anxiety.

Those who can still fight will follow Zhiyao to break out of the siege. Only the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled will either voluntarily or be forced to stay in the city. After the sun rises, they will die without a doubt.

The ugly time has come. After the city gate was opened, Yu Rang drove the carriage out. Zhi Yao finally looked back at the Light Wolf City. The country was so miserable as a broken door, and the big scorpion at the top of the city was quietly lowered and moved to his car, still fluttering in the wind and in high spirits.

He said to Yu Rang beside him, "Maybe I will bury my bones here today, or maybe I will never see the sun tomorrow."

But I once took the soldiers to fight for survival, desperate for the last chance of life!

He drew his sword from his waist, pointed at the thousands of campfires ten times his size in front of him, and ordered in a low voice: "Using the cover of the night, cover up and kill the past. The enemy army is besieging the city with three layers of barriers. Come on, those who are left behind seek their own blessings! This battle is not for the sake of protecting the dignity of the Marquis of Jin, but for the breath that we can't swallow after being plotted against the Wei clan's villain, just to survive, just to go home!"

"Live, go home!" A low slogan sounded from behind, and the forward left from the east and south gates, attacking Zhao and Wei's tens of thousands of troops in a moth-to-fire posture, while the remaining 6,000 soldiers did not have ignition torches. , filed out from the north gate, the road was not easy to walk at night, and it was impossible to maintain the formation at all. He could only pull the rope and follow the person in front. When approaching the firelight of the enemy's barrier, his feet began to accelerate reflexively.

They sneaked in the dark, hundreds of steps away from the first siege barrier, and the Zhao scouts discovered the abnormality here. They lit many fires in front of the barrier, and they could vaguely see the enemy's movements. The shaking of the earth made They sensed an approaching troop, and the scout suddenly straightened up and shot an arrow into the darkness.

"Ah!" The arrow was hit, and a shrill scream sounded, and then disappeared. The person who screamed was killed by Pao Ze...

But the sentry tower has already discovered that the enemy has broken through, and they began to bluff loudly and beat the gong!

"Kill the past." Zhijun also knew that his whereabouts were exposed, and began to shout and charge. The silent team suddenly burst into a loud shout, and the Zhizun armed with spears and swords and halberds rushed to the encirclement!

A loud and clear cry of killing suddenly sounded outside Guanglang City. Zhao Bing, who was on duty behind the barrier, rushed to his respective positions, but he was a little caught off guard. For a moment, he didn't know how many enemy troops were in the dark night ahead.

Zhiyao watched the soldiers break through the siege from behind. He did not stick to this, but instead stared into the distance. The mountains in the northwest were entrenched in the path like ancient giants. The place. The Zhijun sent a group of daring soldiers to attack the Zhaowei barracks in the south and east. The main force concentrated on attacking the weaker Han army north camp first, opened the passage, then turned westward, and cut a **** road from the mountain road. , complete the breakout!

The route after this? Even Zhiyao couldn't tell. He knew that the Duan clan had fallen, but the Shangdang was still unknown? Has Zhao Jun arrived in Fen Shui? Did Wei Lu also launch a mutiny at the same time? Who is in the hands of Xiqi Palace and the Marquis of Jin? Are your grandfather, father, and elder brother all right?

Even if he was lucky to escape this time, how long would Zhishi last in Jin? Days, or months?

The future is like a vast night, everything is unknown, Zhiyao can only take one step at a time, trembling, walking on thin ice, like an abyss...

...

Above the sentry tower, the sound of the alarm sounded like thunder. After discovering the enemy's situation, the soldiers on guard beat the gong frantically, urging the soldiers in the battalion to defend the enemy as soon as possible.

In the large tent in Nanying, Zhao Wuxi heard the sound of killing, and after receiving Qi Wan's report, he threw away the pen and paper in his hand, drew his sword and pulled out of the scabbard to watch.

"The Zhi army has left the city, and both the south and east have been attacked~lightnovelpub.net~ But it seems that there are not many people. The real main force of the Zhi clan has broken through the two siege barriers and headed north!"

Xiang Lu's face changed when he heard the words, and he quickly said: "Master, the Han family has never been known for being good at fighting. If the soldiers are desperate to break through, I'm afraid..."

"Han Hu has twice as many soldiers as the enemy, and I said hello to him in advance, so as not to cause the battalion to roar and the whole army to collapse, even if the Zhi army breaks through to the north, it still has to face Dan Shui and my partial division in the north. The valley is dominated by cavalry, if I knew Yao, I would definitely not go all the way north, but would catch Han Ying by surprise, mobilize our troops, and then turn to the west!"

After knowing the true direction of Yao's breakthrough, Zhao Wuxi said: "The order is sent, and the armies who are on duty will set off immediately. They will be divided into two parts. One part will monitor the movement of Wei Ying, and the other part will support Han Ying. arrive!"

After hearing the news, the generals led the way, looked up at the increasingly dark sky, Zhao Wuxi sighed, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Zhi Yao, the first enemy of Zhao Xiangzi in history, the feud and destiny between you and me, today, let's make an end here!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit m.. to read, A better reading experience.
