"I heard that when the monarch is insulted, his ministers have no face to survive. Zhao people have insulted our superior many times. We must risk our lives to fight."
"Before departure, I have a few things to tell you. The first thing is that this crusade against Zhao is just to avenge the nobles of Zhao. No one can kill the people of Zhao without reason, and no one can plunder.
Merchants of the State of Zhao cannot rape the women of the State of Zhao, and cannot destroy the cultivated land of the State of Zhao. If there are soldiers of the State of Zhao who have surrendered, please accept them and do not mistreat them."
"The second thing is that we must end the war quickly, so I will march quickly, drive straight in, and conquer Handan. Therefore, during the rapid march, please don't complain or disturb the morale of the army."
"Those who disobey orders will be killed."
Li Fu said seriously to his subordinates. The people sitting on both sides of Li Fu were young people. They were not afraid of fighting, but were eager to fight. At this moment, they were so excited that they could not sit still. After hearing Li Fu’s words
After the order, they also hurriedly agreed, and Lifu then asked them to return to their own teams and prepare to set off. The vanguard troops had already set off, and Lifu stood on the military chariot. The military chariot was originally the chariot used by the monarch.
The shape is basically the same as that of ordinary tanks.
But in today's era, the monarch no longer personally directs wars in vehicles, so military vehicles have become exclusive to generals.
Li Fu was in the Chinese Army. The Chinese Army was the chariot force of the Yan State. The chariot was still an important factor in measuring the gap in combat power between the two sides on the battlefield. The chariot was pulled by four or two horses. The chariot was pulled by four or two horses.
There are three soldiers on board. The soldier on the left holds the bow and is the main shooter. He is the leader of the chariot.
The obstacle is called the right side of the chariot, also known as "participating in the ride". Sitting in the middle is the charioteer, also known as the charioteer, who only carries a short sword.
Of course, in addition to these three soldiers, there are five infantrymen on both sides of the chariot. These five infantrymen are clustered around the chariot. There is also a carriage behind the chariot, which is responsible for feeding the chariot.
Changing accessories, carrying food, shields, bows and arrows and other supplies, as well as flags, drums, and cymbals for communication. Five disciples are in charge of this logistics vehicle. The total size of all these adds up to a chariot, so one has two
A country with thousands of chariots cannot be underestimated.
Li Fu was holding a bow and arrow, obviously he wanted to take the position on the left side of the chariot. Li Fu looked into the distance, with a vague worry on his face. He had never commanded a war. If Le Jian could command this army, it would be nothing to defeat Zhao.
The problem is, but let yourself do it, alas, you can only act cautiously. The Yan State has no advantages in all aspects. In today's world, how can the princes allow the Yan State to be on one side? The Yan State must not sit back and wait for death. It must continue to learn from the war.
Get enough nutrients from it and grow into a towering tree.
If General Le Yi was still here... Li Fu raised his head and let out a long sigh, and then hurriedly concealed the loneliness on his face. He looked firmly into the distance, pulled out his dagger, and pointed in the direction of Zhao Guo,
Order: "Let's go!!"
...
The news of Yan's declaration of war quickly spread throughout Zhao, driven by thoughtful people, and the people of Zhao were desperate.
They had not seen their children or their beloved ones for several years, and now, without them guarding them, enemies invaded again. They were very frightened. The children were crying out for their father's name, and the enemies were killing them.
came, but their father, who had been standing in front of them to protect them, was not here.
The Yan people claimed to attack Daijun, but they fired a false shot, but instead launched an attack in the direction of Zhongshan. Facing the Zhaoguo county where no soldiers were stationed, Lifu fully demonstrated his talents as a famous general. Facing a group of women and children, The resistance army and the Yan people also fully demonstrated their bravery.
Li Fu led 40,000 people to capture Wusui City and successfully eliminated more than 100 Zhao elites led by a famous Zhao general and an unknown county magistrate. This Zhao elite was composed of a group of people who had participated in many events. In the war, soldiers with forty or fifty years of military experience were composed. Even if they had experienced hundreds of battles, they could not resist the brave Yan people. In front of the brave Yan people, they were so frightened that they could not even ride on their horses. , unable to hold the sword, could only wipe away endless tears and die under the bows and arrows of the powerful Yan people.
Another famous general, Qing Qin, was more brave than Bai Qi. He led 20,000 people to pull out Longdui City and successfully killed more than a thousand local Zhao elites disguised as common people. These people were hiding in the Among the people, there were women, children, and old people who were well disguised, but they could not deceive the wise Qing Qin. Qing Qin saw through their disguise at a glance and killed them all, talking about how he had annihilated the Zhao guards. Great military exploits.
He said that the Zhao soldiers were cowardly and cowardly. When facing the Yan warriors, all the pretenders cried and begged for mercy, but no one dared to resist.
After pulling out the two gates of Zhao State, the army marched straight in and captured Zhongren, Quyang, Yetai and other cities in a short period of time, and then rushed towards Handan non-stop.
The State of Zhao had no army or even young people in Zhongshan. There were only local nobles who led their retainers to fight to the death with the people of Yan. However, the dozens of retainers put together were no match for the Yan warriors.
The State of Zhao encountered an unprecedented crisis. The people were extremely frightened and fled one after another. The invasion of the State of Yan became the last straw to overwhelm them. Even in Changping, there were many rumors about this incident. Some Some said that the Yan people had captured Handan, and some said that the Zhao Kingdom had been destroyed. General Lian Po quickly issued an order that these were lies from the Qin people and could not be believed. He also found out several Qin people's spies who spread the rumors, and publicly put to death.
.......
It was early in the morning when Zhao Kuo had finished his meal and was practicing swordplay in the courtyard when he heard intermittent crying. Zhao Kuo frowned and followed the crying and walked out of the door. It turned out that it was Zhao Kuo's neighbor Ping Gong. Wife Yiyu, the old lady was stroking Mr. Ping's face and crying sadly. Mr. Ping was still comforting his old wife. Zhao Kuo's heart sank, could it be their child... He walked up to them with some embarrassment. around.
"Ping Gong? What happened?"
Ping Gong raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, he smiled and said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, the conquest order came today."
"Conscript? But...who else in your family can be conscripted?"
"I."
"You??" Zhao Kuo widened his eyes and said angrily: "How can this be done? Are you going to transport grain and grass? You are already so old." Ping Gong smiled and shook his head, Zhao Kuo said Only then did he notice that he was wearing a dagger and holding a shield in his left hand. He raised his head and said, "Does Ma Fuzi look down on me because he thinks I'm old?" Zhao Kuo was speechless. Yi Yu stood beside him. He cried and said: "Officials have come to Handan and want to recruit him as a foot soldier. How can he be a foot soldier at his age?"
"Don't talk nonsense, why can't I?" Ping Gong said, and said with some displeasure: "You go back quickly and wait for me to come back. I won't be away for too long. I still have something to do with Ma Fuzi. Words!", Duke Ping came out with a commanding tone. Yiyu wiped her tears and touched Duke Ping's face. Then she hunched over and returned to the courtyard step by step. With a smile on Gong Ping's face, she said: "Women's way. People just don’t understand the general situation.”
Zhao Kuo was still speechless and asked: "What happened?"
"I don't know, your Majesty has recruited a group of soldiers from all over Handan, including me. There are four other people in the horse service, you know them, namely Ci, Lu, Quhuo, Zhao Shi..." , Ping Gong said, these people he mentioned are all about the same age as him. The youngest is Zhao Shi, who is forty-five this year, and the oldest Ping Gong is nearly sixty years old. Zhao Kuo still doesn’t understand why King Zhao Want to recruit them? Do even these old men have to go to Changping?
Can they hold a long sword, and can they ride a horse? Doesn't this mean they are going to die?
Ping Gong smiled and walked towards the gate of Mafu Township. Zhao Kuo followed him without saying a word. Finally he walked to the door. Ping Gong looked in the direction of home. He was still smiling, but his tears no longer stopped. Unable to stop, he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying. Big tears kept flowing through Lian Pang. He looked at Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "I am already old. I don't have many years to live. I don't want to cry." She is afraid of death, but she cannot see things and cannot take care of herself... Please take care of her a little bit..."
"I wish you a blessing... I wish you peace, I wish you no disaster..." Ping Gong picked up the mulberry wooden crutch and hit Zhao Kuo gently on the body.
"I...I'm leaving..." Ping Gong said, unable to bear it anymore, he covered his head and started crying.
