Chapter 126: The Yan Army Surrenders(1/2)
"attack."
Pang Nuan led the army to the upper reaches of Huchi Lake. Without saying a word, a light blade more than a hundred meters long slashed out, and then charged towards the Yan army.
Yan Jun stood next to the embankment, chatting and laughing, waiting for the order to break the embankment. Suddenly he saw a cavalry rushing towards him from the horizon, and the earth shook violently. There was a wild sense of power, like a huge wave rolling over me.
The Yan army was stunned. They even forgot to hold up the battle formation. The huge red light blade slashed down with overwhelming power. Hundreds of Yan soldiers evaporated instantly, leaving no corpses behind.
The light blade crashed down, plowing a ravine hundreds of meters long on the ground, which spread all the way to Huchi Lake. The river water poured in, and the ravine was filled in a few breaths.
"Surrender without killing." Pang Nuan said in a deep voice, red light gushing out from his body, like a burning flame, and the raindrops were evaporated as soon as they got close.
"We surrender, we surrender." The Yan army standing in front felt Pang Nuan's terrifying power the most, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy, their faces full of fear.
Surrender is contagious. When everyone saw someone surrendering, they put down their psychological burden and surrendered one after another. Before the general could resist, he was dragged to his knees on the muddy ground.
There was no way, everyone was kneeling down. If he didn't kneel down, Pang Nuan would definitely shoot him to death.
"Tie them all up." Pang Nuan waved and said, then came to the edge of Hu Lake.
"General, what should we do about the dam?" the general said worriedly.
God has no intention of stopping the rain, as if it wants to rain all at once, and the river water slaps against the dam and seems to be about to overflow.
The water level in Huchi is already very high. According to the current rainfall, the dam will most likely be washed away before tomorrow morning. By then, Zhao Jun downstream will suffer an unbearable blow.
But if the dike is dug now, the Zhao army downstream will also be flooded. Moreover, the Zhao army is still fighting the Yan army and has no preparations.
Pang Nuan stood by Huchi, rubbing the barrel of the gun with both hands, struggling.
"We can't dig the dam now, but we must find a way to lower the water level." Pang Nuan asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
There are only two roads before Zhao Jun: breach the embankment; do not breach the embankment.
But obviously, neither method works.
"General, we can dig two ditches on both sides of Huchi to bypass the embankment and let the water from the top flow to the bottom to slow down the rise of the water level. Then we will send someone to notify the king to withdraw the troops, and we will dig again after the troops have withdrawn to a safe place. Open dikes and release all the water."
After a few breaths, a soldier came forward, clasped his fists and said.
Hearing this, Pang Nuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a great idea. Do what he said immediately. You guys, go and inform the king. The rest of you will follow me to dig the ditch."
"What's your name?" Pang Nuan asked.
"General, my name is Lan." The soldier said with some embarrassment.
"I will ask the king for credit." Pang Nuan patted Lan's shoulder and said solemnly.
It would be an exaggeration to say that Lan saved the lives of everyone in the Zhao army, but Lan's method did buy time for the Zhao army to retreat and reduce the great losses of the Zhao army.
Otherwise, in order to save their lives, the Zhao army could only abandon their food, grass and baggage and retreat. In the end, although they defeated the Yan army, they themselves also lost the power to attack.
"Thank you, General." Lan said excitedly.
…
"Your Majesty, a large-scale Yan army was discovered on the east mountain. General Jia Yan has ordered a retreat. The Yan army seems to have discovered us, but did not pursue us." The scouts came from a distance and reported with cupped fists.
"Apart from this, are there any traces of the Yan army found elsewhere?" Zhao Kuo asked.
According to An Zong, the mountain to the east is not big and it is difficult to hide a hundred thousand troops.
"Nothing has been found yet," the scout said.
"I understand. Let Jia Yan take precautions and not attack. If the Yan army attacks, stop it." Zhao Kuo said.
The situation on the battlefield is now very clear. Liaodong's strong troops have been destroyed, and the Yan army's momentum has plummeted. Defeat is only a matter of time, and it is useless to resist desperately.
"promise."
…
"Surrender, you don't have to wait any longer, your plan has been seen through long ago." Le Cheng blocked Le Jian's attack and once again persuaded Le Jian to surrender. He could see that Le Jian was already a little shaken.
In fact, now that things have happened, without Le Cheng’s reminder, Le Jian also knows that Zhao Jun has discovered him, or Li Fu’s plan. The Liaodong Jianjun has been completely wiped out by the Guards. The Yan Army was completely defeated, and Zhao Jun invaded the camp.
Zhong, had long discovered that there were only more than 10,000 Yan troops here, but there was no look of surprise on his face.
Moreover, the Yan army upstream has not moved yet, and the Yan army ambushing in the mountains in the distance is still ambushing.
Everything is declaring the defeat of the Yan army.
"Command the entire army! Surrender!"
After giving the order, Le Jian slumped down on the chariot, staring blankly ahead, as if the last trace of strength had been drained away.
"That's good... at least I can be with my father again..."
After receiving Lejian's order, the Yan army, which was already on the verge of collapse, stopped resisting and threw their weapons to the ground.
Seeing the surrender of the Yan army, Zhao Kuo finally showed a smile on his face and was about to turn around and return to the camp. He happened to meet An Ning's fiery eyes. An Ning immediately lowered his head shyly, his pretty face turned pink.
Zhao Kuo suddenly discovered that An Ning looked pretty when she was all wet...
"Ahem, Magistrate An, Miss An, let's go back to the camp." Zhao Kuo said.
"Ah, okay." An Ning nodded frantically.
An Zong also recovered from the shock. It turns out that our Zhao army is so powerful that even the army soul army can be easily killed!
…
"Lejian, the defeated general, pays homage to Mr. Zhao." Lejian walked into the camp under the leadership of Lecheng, and his weapons had been confiscated by Ben.
"Are you Wang Zhujun's son?" Zhao Kuo was a little surprised when he saw Lejian.
Le Jian is stronger than his father Le Yi, and his face is extremely rough. Now that Le Yi is getting younger and younger, Zhao Kuo suspects that if the two of them stand together, most people will think that Le Jian is the father.
"Exactly." Le Jian said with some reluctance, "May I ask King Zhao how he saw through our army's plan?"
Although he had no hope of defeating Zhao Jun from beginning to end, he was still a little unwilling to be defeated so easily. In his opinion, even if Li Fu's plan could not defeat Zhao Jun, it would still have a high possibility of severely damaging Zhao Jun.
"Are you talking about the Yan army upstream? Someone has discovered your traces a long time ago." Zhao Kuo gestured towards An Ning, "With me, the wife of the State of Zhao, here, your Yan State will definitely be defeated."
Only then did Lejian notice An Ning and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
When the Yan army attacked Lingshou, Le Jian stood under the city and saw with his own eyes that An Ning led more than 2,000 female soldiers and blocked the Yan army for three days. In the end, Li Fu felt that he should not spend so much time in a county town, so he
Ordered to change direction, until now, Lingshou has not been captured by the Yan army.
"Do I know you?" An Ning asked in confusion.
Although Lejian knew An Ning, An Ning did not recognize Lejian. There were so many people in the Yan army and Lejian was not the commander, so how could An Ning remember him.
Le Jian was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened, it turned out that not even a woman had ever considered him as a rival...
"Your Majesty, our army has defeated the Yan army. The water level in the upper reaches is rising sharply. General Pang Nuan is leading people to dig two ditches on both sides of Huchi to bypass the dam to reduce the growth rate of the water level. Please evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible, Your Majesty and the army. Place." At this time, a soldier stepped into the camp, knelt down on one knee, and reported quickly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Kuo nodded, "Mr. An."
"I'm here." An Zong took a step forward.
"You and Miss An are the most familiar with the area. Could you please lead some soldiers and notify the people in all nearby villages to evacuate to a safe place with the army," Zhao Kuo said.
"I obey." An Zong bowed and said solemnly.
He did not expect that Zhao Kuo did not retreat immediately, but thought of the people nearby. Only such a monarch deserves his allegiance!
An Ning looked at Zhao Kuo with admiration, her beautiful eyes were shining, and countless little stars were shining in her eyes.
"Lecheng." Zhao Kuo said again.
"I'm here."
"You and Lejian go to recruit the remaining Yan troops. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy." Zhao Kuo said murderously.
"No." Le Cheng and Le Jian said with fists clasped, then turned and walked out of the camp.
"Mr. Song, I will leave the wounded soldiers to you." Finally, Zhao Kuo said to Song Zhong.
Just like the Battle of Changping, this time Zhao Kuo also brought Song Zhong with him. In addition, there were also 300 doctors who had followed Zhao Kuo in the Battle of Changping.
During the Battle of Changping, these people were all white, but now they all have titles, and they are considered minor nobles in the Zhao Kingdom.
Everyone knew that if they followed Zhao Kuo, they would have meat to eat, and as long as Zhao Jun was not defeated, there would be no danger for them to follow, so they all followed without saying a word.
"I will do my best to treat you." Song Zhong nodded, "But please also ask the king to send some people to help us transport the wounded soldiers."
"Yan Xiong." Zhao Kuo looked at Yan Xiong, who was standing beside him silently and acting as a pillar.
There was no way, Yanxiong, apart from his bravery, neither knew how to lead troops in battle, nor how to make plans. Zhao Kuo asked him to learn battle formations, but he couldn't understand it either.
Zhao Kuo could only take him with him, let him go when he needed to charge into battle, and when he didn't need to charge into battle, he would act as a bodyguard like Ben.
"I'm here." Yan Xiong's eyes lit up. He finally had a mission. As long as he was not allowed to stay here any longer, he was willing to do whatever he was asked to do.
"You take people to help Mr. Song and follow Mr. Song's instructions in everything." Zhao Kuo said.
"No." Yanxiong said loudly, and the whole camp was shaking.
"Come here, the entire army retreats!" Finally, Zhao Kuo ordered.
