When the number reaches a certain level, it will also produce a different kind of beauty. Only when Zhao Kuo went to watch the military parade in his previous life, he saw so many people gathering. Lying in the depths of the dense forest, he could see everything
They were all busy Yan people. After the Yan people's vanguard arrived here, they refused to go any further. They began to explore the surroundings. If this army was from Qin, Zhao Kuo and others would definitely be found out.
of.
The war weariness of the Yan people was even more serious than that of the Zhao people in Changping.
When the Qin people attack the Zhao State, the soldiers can gain military honors, so they will fight to the death wholeheartedly. After hearing the joy of the battle, the Zhao people resist the foreign invasion. Although they miss their hometown, they can only grit their teeth because they have to protect their loved ones behind them.
Fighting to the death is different for the Yan people. They were forced to attack Zhao State. Even if they defeated Zhao State, it would not be of any benefit to them. In fact, many of the Yan people's soldiers were conquered by Yan State.
They may not hate the Zhao people, but they must hate the Yan people.
The Yan people were very perfunctory. When they came outside the dense forest, Zhao Kuo could even see their angry faces. They waved their daggers and slashed around randomly for a while, then shouted behind them in Yan language,
Zhao Fu on the side told Zhao Kuo that this person was reporting that it was safe here. There was a kind of impatience and impatience in the Yan people's army. Zhao Kuo saw that even when they were transporting wood and after they arrived at their destination, they were fierce.
Throw all your strength on the ground.
Then came a whipping from the general. The general seemed to be very irritable. The whip kept falling on the soldiers. The soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain and begging for mercy. The other soldiers were smiling and surrounding them, laughing.
Zhao Kuo seemed to understand in an instant what Lin Xiangru once said to him. Lin Xiangru once said that there are three types of armies: armies that fight to protect the common people, armies that fight to protect themselves, and armies that fight for rewards. But Zhao Kuo
Kuo now saw the fourth type, the army that was forced to fight. The generals of Yan State did not treat the soldiers as human beings, or even as swords. To be precise, the soldiers were treated as dogs. Let them go.
It would be great if they could go up and bite the Zhao people.
Especially the Hu people who were recruited from Liaodong. These Hu people had no sense of belonging to the Yan people and could not even understand the language of the Yan state. They were forced to come to the battlefield and the food and grass they were originally allocated were not much. In Zhao
After Kuo burned the grain and grass, they could get less grain and grass. In fact, the Yan people killed the horses they brought as rations for other Yan people. Since the generals could not communicate, they could only use whips and swords to fight.
Talk to them.
When Zhao Kuo saw this pitiful and hateful army in the distance, he really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Li Fu was still standing on his military chariot. This road was different from the past. The march was very slow. This was because Li Fu was worried about being attacked by the Zhao people again, so he walked cautiously. Elite scouts patrolled on both sides of the Chinese army.
, everyone they met along the way died under their swords. At night, the Yan people were especially careful. The slightest movement could cause the army to be in chaos. However, after a few days, Li Fu was already exhausted.
He was miserable and looked decadent, as if he had aged more than ten years.
In these days, the Yan people did not get any good news. The envoys he sent to the Yan Kingdom disappeared without a trace. The Zhao people who had been conquered and lowered their heads to beg for mercy were now fighting against the Yan people in the rear.
, with the help of Zhao Kuo's flag, they even drove the Yan people out of the city many times. However, the army was seriously short of food. They originally wanted to collect food from Zhao Kuo's territory, but who knew that the Zhao people were even poorer than them!
This damn King of Zhao actually doesn’t love his own people at all, he is not a benevolent king! He has conquered all the Zhao people’s food, and the Yan people can’t even grab it if they want to!
The former army has arrived at the foot of Bairen City. It is said that the surroundings are safe. Zhao's army has gathered under Bairen City, and Zhao Kuo is also here. After Li Fu learned the news, he rushed forward without stopping and ordered the entire army to speed up. Outside the city
There were more and more Yan people. They lined up and were larger than Bairen City. After the front army inspected the left and right sides, they sat on the ground and began to rest. After Lifu arrived, he immediately took a military chariot to explore Bairen City.
He did not dare to get too close, so he carefully looked at the figures running back and forth on the city, and then looked at the flags. Li Fu concluded that there were probably more than 6,000 defenders in the city, and Qing Qin was standing behind them.
Next to him, he did not ride in a military chariot, but just rode a horse. He looked at Li Fu with disdain in his eyes. Li Fu's incompetence caused the Zhao people to easily burn the food and grass. Now they are in a passive situation. Qing Qin wants to start from
He took over the command of the army, but Li Fei refused, and the conflict between the two became more serious.
Qing Qin said seriously: "The soldiers have traveled a long distance and are exhausted. Why not rest here for a day? I see there are a lot of woods around here that can be used to build siege equipment. I will lead them to attack the city tomorrow.", Lifu Station.
In the military car, he frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "No, Zhao Kuo is cunning. What should we do if we rest here and he goes out of the city to attack at night?"
"Hahaha, isn't that just right? Let's set up a burial here and wait for Zhao Kuo to die himself. He has a tall city to defend and comes to fight with us. Wouldn't it be better for us?" Qing Qin
Said with a smile.
Li Fu shook his head. He looked at the Yan people around him and said: "You can't see at night. Setting an ambush will not only fail to defeat Zhao Kuo, but it may cause chaos..."
"I heard that the cunning and cunning will be ineffective when encountering a tiger. Zhao Kuo only has a few thousand men. No matter how cunning he is, how can he face an army of tens of thousands of us? You were defeated by Zhao Kuo.
Did you start to be so afraid of the Zhao people after doing so once? If so, please go attack the city yourself, I will lead my men to set up an ambush here and annihilate Zhao Kuo!" Qing Qin said angrily.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
At that moment, the civil war drums in the city roared, and the big drums of Zhao State roared with all their strength, shouting arrogantly at the Yan people. Qing Qin's horse was startled, and it suddenly stood up and neighed. Qing Qin could not hold the reins firmly and fell off the horse.
, "Hahaha~~", the surrounding soldiers laughed, Qing Qin stood up, with a gray face, a red face, and stood on the carriage with a chestnut belly, just looking at him calmly without saying anything.
"Damn it!" Qing Qin raised his whip and hit the horse. Hearing the laughter of the soldiers, he felt even more angry. He hit the surrounding soldiers randomly for a while,
He just said angrily: "Get ready to attack the city!" After saying that, he turned and left, and the sound of war drums in the city soon stopped.
Dong Chengzi looked at the Yan army in the distance with trembling eyes. He still remembered Zhao Kuo's instructions. If the Yan people rested, then wait for the battle situation. If the Yan people attacked the city, flee immediately! But now it seems that the Yan people are heading towards the city.
They gathered under the city. The chariots were not arranged on both sides, but at the position of the front army. This was obviously not to set up a stronghold, but to attack the city. Dong Chengzi looked pale and it was time for him to escape.
Li Fu was arranging a formation, and Bai Ren's city was not very high. He planned to use crossbows to suppress the city's counterattack, and used the strategy of using infantry to surround the chariot to attack Bai Ren. The infantry could climb up through the chariot.
City walls and chariots can be used as steps. In addition, when he attacks other cities, he has prepared a lot of ladder ropes, which can also come in handy. After all, this Bairen is just a small city.
However, he knew who his enemy was and did not dare to let down his guard. He ordered several captains to surround Bai Ren from three sides. After he led his army to attack the city, he attacked with all his strength and deliberately left a gap to escape.
These arrangements of his were clearly seen by Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo knew that his plan had failed.
Although the enemy did not discover their ambush, they had no intention of taking a rest. They wanted to attack the city directly.
Zhao Kuo had no choice but to wait any longer. Bairen was an empty city without any old soldiers, and it was about to be destroyed at the first touch.
He and the scouts got into the dense forest again. Thousands of veterans gathered here. Some were sitting on the ground, some were leaning against trees, some were looking down uneasily in deep thought, and some were muttering quickly.
, no one could hear clearly. There were also a few old soldiers, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and their hands turned white. Zhao Kuo came here and stood on his military chariot. The old soldiers looked at him one after another, as if
They all realized something and took in big breaths.
An old soldier put his trembling hand to his mouth, bit his trembling hand, and kept muttering his son's name.
Several veterans gave each other a deep hug and slowly stood up.
Zhao Kuo looked at them one by one, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Zhan."
