Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's guess is quite reliable.
In the next two or three days, the Korean army surrounding Weiqiu Mountain did not attack the hill. Instead, they established several military camps in the flat areas at the foot of the mountain. At the same time, they also placed many military camps outside the military camps and between the two military camps.
Many antlers serve as obstacles.
"Note: Deer antlers are a defense made of solid logs that are sharpened and cross-fixed together. They are named because they are shaped like deer antlers. This is the most common positional defense on the battlefield, which can effectively prevent the enemy from attacking.
There is no essential difference between attacking an army and resisting a horse.』
The Wei army's surprise attack force also built a simple military camp on Weiqiu Mountain and an unknown river at the southwest foot of Weiqiu Mountain.
This unknown river is the only battlefield where the Korean army and the Wei army have fought many times in the past two days - the Wei army's surprise attack troops need this river to supply drinking water, while the Korean army attempts to occupy the river beach where the Wei army is located, completely
Cut off the Wei army's drinking water.
But it is obvious that the 20,000 Wei army's surprise attack troops were all composed of elite soldiers from the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army. As a result, the Korean army repeatedly dispatched small groups of troops to attack this river beach, but they were repeatedly defeated by the Yanling Army's talented generals stationed in this area.
Qian Ben fought back.
On the first day of November, Zhao Hongrun received a letter of persuasion to surrender written by Bao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army.
Bao Yuan wrote this letter on silk, tied it to an arrow, and shot it at Wei Qiu. The Wei soldier picked it up and delivered it to Zhao Hongrun.
I remember that after reading this letter, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but laugh and cry. He didn't expect that Bao Yuan actually wanted to persuade him to surrender.
"This violent kite is so deceptive!"
After Wei Jiao, the chief of the imperial family, saw this letter, he was so furious that he wanted to rush down the mountain immediately and kill the madman who insulted his royal highness with his sword.
On the other hand, Zongwei Mu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and teased Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, this Baoyuan seems to be planning to act as a matchmaker for you, so that you can marry the daughter of King Han and become the son-in-law of King Han. Don't you think about it?"
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to Mu Qing's teasing.
Do you still need to consider this kind of thing?
As the son of the King of Wei, the prince of nearly ten million Wei people, and the commander of one hundred thousand King Su's troops, how could Zhao Hongrun surrender to South Korea?
It is undeniable that surrendering to South Korea can indeed guarantee a life, but there will be no freedom from now on, and the previous reputation and honor will be gone.
What's more, Zhao Hongrun does not think that he has reached the point where he has run out of troops and food. You must know that he still has nearly 20,000 Suwang soldiers under his command at this moment, and the Korean army at the foot of the mountain, plus the Gaolang Korean army close at hand,
The number of troops is estimated to be only about 40,000. In other words, the outcome of this war is still unknown.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head, laughed, said "ridiculous", and was about to throw the silk in his hand into the bonfire, but just when he made a move, Zongwei Zhou Pu took the silk from his hand.
I went over and took a look.
However, after looking through it for a while, Zhou Pu did not return it, but put it in his arms.
Seeing this, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao and other clan guards were slightly startled, somewhat hesitant to speak.
Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Zhou Pu and asked, "Zhou Pu, what are you doing?"
Zhou Pu smiled slightly and explained: "It was written by Bao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army. This is a treasure worth collecting, Your Highness...don't you think so?"
Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Gao Kuo, Zhongzhao, Mu Qing and other Zongwei looked at each other and smiled reluctantly.
Presumably, they also guessed the reason why Zhou Pu kept this thing - as a Zongwei, Zhou Pu would never betray Zhao Hongrun, but he would also value Zhao Hongrun's survival more than anything else, even if Zhao Hongrun's safety was related to Wei.
If the survival of the country is on the balance, Zhou Pu will choose Zhao Hongrun without hesitation, and firmly believes that even if the Wei Kingdom is defeated, his Highness can restore the country in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Pu's purpose of retaining this object is self-evident.
Looking directly at Zhou Pu for a long time, Zhao Hongrun asked in a deep voice: "Zhou Pu, do you think this king is destined to lose?"
Zhou Pu shook his head and said firmly: "No, I never think that His Highness will lose."
"Then bring it!" Zhao Hongrun stretched out his right hand and spread his palm flat.
"..." Zhou Pu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately made no move.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shouted in a deep voice: "Bring it here!"
Hearing this, Gao Kuo frowned, and after warning Zhou Pu with his eyes, he took out the silk from the latter's arms and handed it to Zhao Hongrun.
After getting the silk, Zhao Hongrun threw it into the bonfire in front of him without saying a word.
Seeing the piece of silk being swallowed up by the flames, a hint of sadness flashed across Zhou Pu's face.
Zhao Hongrun would not blame Zhou Pu, because he knew that the Zongwei would never betray him.
However, even Zhou Pu, who is the Zongwei, is considering his retreat, and one can imagine the others.
Zhao Hongrun looked around.
In fact, many of King Su's soldiers nearby noticed the small dispute on Zhao Hongrun's side. When Zhao Hongrun glanced at the faces of these soldiers, he felt confused and helpless from their expressions.
"It seems that the failure of the sneak attack on Gaolang really had a certain impact on the morale of the soldiers..."
Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly, and then he suddenly laughed.
Seeing this, the nearby soldiers and generals of King Su were stunned and turned their heads involuntarily.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun stood up, looked around at the soldiers and generals of King Su's army who had gathered around them involuntarily, and said with a smile: "Why are they all drooping their heads? ... Is it because he felt that the sneak attack on Gao Lang failed and he was deeply surrounded, so he was shaken?"
No, no, no, our army's tactics are progressing very smoothly."
"It went very smoothly? Didn't the Korean army see through it?"
The soldiers nearby looked at each other.
During this period, a soldier asked timidly: "Your Highness, I wonder what tactics you are talking about?"
"It's okay to tell you now." Zhao Hongrun glanced at the nearby Wei soldiers and said with a chuckle: "In fact, my king's real purpose is not to sneak attack Gaolang, but to sneak attack Changzi City! ... You guys
Look at the foot of the mountain. Jin Ao, Bao Yuan, and Feng Ting, three Korean generals are all attracted here. What does this mean? This means that Changzi City is almost an empty city, and our army still has 80,000 soldiers in the area of Xuushi City.
A brave soldier, it's no big deal to capture the Changzi City."
Hearing this, the nearby Wei soldiers looked at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces.
"In fact, our army was not caught in an ambush by the Korean army and was trapped here. In fact, I had already expected that the sneak attack on Gaolang would be discovered by the Korean army and attract the main force of the Korean army." Zhao Hongrun looked around and said,
He chuckled and said, "Don't believe me? Touch your backpacks. If I hadn't predicted this, why would I have let you carry a few more days of dry food?"
A Wei soldier touched a cloth bag wrapped around his waist and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, you...are you saying that the enemy did not see through Your Highness's clever plan?"
Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this and said: "You mean Bao Yuan, Feng Ting and Jin Mao, the three defeated generals of my king?...My king's plan is progressing very smoothly." As he said that, something appeared on his face.
With a mocking smile, he said half-smilingly: "It's ridiculous that Jin Fu, Feng Ting, and Bao Yuan thought they had trapped me here, but they didn't know that Changzi City is about to be mine!"
Hearing this, the nearby Wei soldiers cheered up and changed the dull atmosphere just now.
Or a soldier asked: "Your Highness, are you deliberately putting yourself in danger this time as a bait to lure the main force of the Korean army here? This is too dangerous!"
"Danger?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "My king is protected by loyal people like you, so how can I be in danger?... Even though we are outnumbered and surrounded by heavy siege, I can still eat well and sleep soundly, because I believe
All officers and men will protect my king."
After hearing this, the surrounding Wei soldiers and generals showed solemn looks, and even their breathing became slightly thicker.
A hundred-man general said with a ferocious expression: "If the Korean bastards want to harm His Highness, they must first step on my body!"
"And me!"
"And me!"
"I!"
The soldiers and generals nearby echoed his words.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and then he said seriously: "I am very grateful to you for your loyalty and love for me. In fact, the reason why I am here as a bait to lure the enemy is not because you will fight to the death.
This king...but this king believes that even though we are outnumbered, the nearly 20,000 soldiers here can still defeat the Korean army at the foot of the mountain!...I do not expect Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others to advance after they capture Changzi City.
Come to support, what I was determined to do from the beginning was that you wait!...You wait, that is what I rely on!"
Having said this, he looked around at the soldiers and generals around him and said with a smile: "Are you interested in joining forces with me to tease the two generals Qu Cheng and Wu Ji? When they lead their troops to help in a few days,
, tell them... you are late, the Korean army here has been defeated by us, I am sorry that your trip was in vain."
After hearing this, the nearby Wei soldiers looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Or one of the 500 people will lick his lips, smile evilly and say: "That must be... interesting."
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Wei Qiu, Bao Yuan, Feng Ting, and Jin Mao stood in front of the defense facilities, looking at the hill in front of them.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Ting frowned and said, "No response. Maybe we guessed wrong. That Wei Gongzi Run is not actually here..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bao Yuan.
"Shh!" Bao Yuan raised his hand to silence, then looked at Wei Qiu in front of him, listening attentively.
After a while, he frowned and said: "The morale of this Wei army has recovered... No, the morale of this Wei army is stronger than ever."
Feng Ting glanced at Baoyuan in surprise, his eyes clearly saying: What nonsense are you talking about?
Bao Yuan did not pay attention to Feng Ting's gaze. He squinted at Wei Qiu in front of him, frowned for a long time, then relaxed his eyebrows, licked his lips and said: "It can be confirmed, that Wei Gongzi Run, right now
On this mountain, only he can revive the Wei army... But this also means that Wei Gongzi Run will fight for his life with us. Be prepared, this Wei army is still a fierce tiger, and
More ferocious than ever."
After that, he turned and left.
After looking at each other, Feng Tong asked with a strange expression: "Have you given up trying to persuade him to surrender?"
Hearing this, Bao Yuan stopped, looked back at Feng Ting, and smiled.
"Of course not, it's just that when a tiger fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength, and the opponent is also a tiger that makes you and me afraid. What's more..."
After saying that, he took a deep look at the Wei Qiu, and a dignified look flashed in his eyes.
"...What's more, based on the current morale of the Wei army, it is still unclear how the battle will be won."
