"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Prime Minister Right smiled slightly and said, "I believe the war will not expand."
"I hope so!" King Chu always felt something was wrong.
In fact, his hunch was right.
The eyes of the whole world are staring at Youzhou Thirteen Cities.
Zhao's 500,000-strong army faced Wu's 300,000-strong army. Moreover, they were fighting on the plains that Zhao's soldiers were most familiar with. Therefore, many people were not optimistic about Wu's soldiers and felt that Wu's soldiers were definitely no match for Zhao's soldiers.
Unfortunately, things backfire and the ending is often beyond everyone's expectations.
In as long as half a month, Wu's 300,000-strong army defeated Zhao's 500,000-strong army with an overwhelming advantage, annihilating 200,000 enemies and capturing 110,000 prisoners. The remaining nearly 200,000 people fled in panic. Even King Zhao
The commanders who were sent panicked, put on the clothes of other soldiers, and fled among the crowd.
This battle almost caused an uproar around the world.
Because Wu soldiers only sacrificed more than 50,000 people.
This battle made the people of Wu feel proud.
Once, they thought that Wu soldiers relied on the natural danger of Canyon Pass to annihilate Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, this plain battle made the people of Wu extremely worried. However, the final outcome was so good that they found it difficult to
believe.
"I didn't expect that Father's idea would be so useful?" Guo Nian was also shocked and couldn't believe it.
Guo Yi once told him, what is the purpose of being a soldier?
Many people actually join the army just to fill their stomachs and not to starve to death. Because in the army, you don't have to worry about food and drink. If you can promise a heavy reward, it can stimulate the soldiers' desire to fight.
Therefore, before this battle, Guo Nian promised the soldiers on the battlefield that there would be heavy rewards for killing the enemy. One bonus coin for killing the enemy. The more you kill, the more rewards you will get. Of course, you don’t have to worry about your own death. If you die,
, the rewards you receive will be sent to your family together with the pension.
As a result, these soldiers' desire to fight was immediately aroused.
On the battlefield, the fighting was crazy.
Every Wu warrior is desperate for his life.
Every soldier wants to make a fortune, even if he dies, he must kill one last time before dying, because if he kills one, he can earn one gold coin for his family, and one gold coin is worth ten silver coins.
Ten pieces of silver are equivalent to one hundred guan. It is equivalent to a few months of income for ordinary people. If you can kill two, three... if you can kill dozens of people, your family will not be able to survive for several years, or even more than ten years.
Worried about eating and drinking.
So much so that until the end of the battle, the soldiers of Wu State were all red-eyed.
A group of people were hysterical and extremely crazy, killing Zhao soldiers completely confused.
Didn't we agree that the soldiers of Zhao State are the kings on the plains?
Why did this group of bronzes from the Wu Kingdom behave like kings?
What a hell, I have never seen such a powerful person in my life. He was obviously stabbed to death with a knife, but the other person wiped the other person's neck with a knife. He even had to pull a backrest before he died.
The soldiers of Zhao State have never seen such a horrific thing in their lives.
Even strong willpower will crumble in front of such a group of devil soldiers, and the will will collapse.
In the next month, the thirteen cities of Youzhou fell into the hands of Wu one by one.
Almost none of Zhao's soldiers dared to resist.
At first they resisted boldly, but when they saw this group of tigers and wolves, the gates of the cities behind almost opened to meet the enemy, and white flags were hung on the city heads. Thirteen cities were captured with almost no effort.
It's a piece of cake.
Don't be too simple.
Sitting in the former capital of the Chen Kingdom.
Guo Nian sighed: "I wonder if King Chen ever thought that the people of Wu would sit in his palace."
"General, it's a pity that King Chen's army of hundreds of thousands was defeated like a mountain." Chen Mo sighed.
"Yes!" Guo Nian nodded and said, "However, I am grateful for the demise of the Chen Kingdom. Otherwise, how could I get a talented general like you?"
"The general has given you the reward." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "This is all due to the general's good guidance."
"Don't be polite." Guo Nian smiled lightly and said, "This time we have captured the thirteen cities of Youzhou. King Zhao will definitely not give up."
"That's natural." Chen Mo nodded.
"I wonder if you guys have any ideas?" Guo Nian asked.
"Didn't the old man just tell us to defend the Thirteen Cities of Youzhou?" Chen Mo said hurriedly.
"What are you guarding?" Liu Han on the side waved his hands hurriedly and said: "We finally beat the people of Zhao to shit, how can we be a coward? General, in my opinion, we can just raise troops and march northward, approaching the capital of Zhao. We.
An army of three hundred thousand is enough."
"General, the old man told us to just defend the thirteen cities of Youzhou." Chen Mo said.
"That's what the old man said." Liu Han chuckled and said, "Besides, I won't grant you any orders. Let's catch the State of Zhao by surprise first, and then find a way to capture the capital of the State of Zhao. King Zhao will definitely do it by then.
Although fleeing north will not lead to the destruction of Zhao, it can also let the whole world see King Zhao's embarrassment."
"Ha ha!"
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
Speak the truth.
Guo Nian was also greedy, and he finally reached this point. The morale of the soldiers was high, and they attacked Zhao in one go. This should be the only choice. However, his father told him that if he captured the thirteen cities of Youzhou, he would only
Just keep it if you need to. But you didn’t tell yourself the reason.
Therefore, Guo Nian felt a little anxious in his heart.
"General, send troops." Liu Han said excitedly.
"Okay!" Guo Nian nodded and said, "In that case, let's raise troops and go north to attack Zhao."
Ho ho ho!
Everyone shouted.
Now that the morale of the soldiers is high, if we defend the Thirteenth City of Youzhou, it may damage the morale of the soldiers. Therefore, we simply send our troops north.
However, this time when he went north, he happened to fall into the enemy's trap.
Guo Nian ordered Chen Mo to stay in the thirteen cities of Youzhou, leaving behind 50,000 elite soldiers.
He personally led 250,000 elite troops to the north.
At the beginning, morale was high. They attacked the city all the way and captured more than ten cities of Zhao State. But when the soldiers of Wu State were excited, unexpectedly, Zhao State's army suddenly fought back and surrounded Guo State.
Nian and others surrounded Weicheng. Not only that, the people of Weicheng also joined forces to fight against Wu.
Suddenly, 200,000 soldiers led by Guo Nian were trapped in Weicheng and found themselves in dire straits.
"This is how to do?"
"Now we are trapped in Weicheng, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Thirteen Cities of Youzhou."
"Don't even think about rescue. You can only find a way to break out on your own."
…
Everyone gathered together and looked for a way out of trouble.
