I’m The King

Chapter 271: : Withdrawal

Zhao Qi's tens of thousands of private troops, in this battle, the entire army has been exhausted, and the people who fled here with him are the Zhao State Standing Army led by Zhao Meng. After the panic, this army still showed Different from the quality of the general private army, he quickly began to prepare to guard the city.

Tan Feng dispatched cavalry every day to patrol the outposts around Yucheng to prevent the local Zhao Kingdom from sending reinforcements, but Gao Yuan did not idle. Under his command Meng Chong and Xu Yuan, they did not know where they chopped down a bowl of thick bamboo. , Dragged one by one to the bottom of the city, and then buried it at a distance of about three or four hundred steps from the city wall. After half a day, outside of the city, densely covered with bamboo forests. Not only did the city look surprised, but Even Tan Feng is also inexplicable.

"Gaoyuan, the bamboo shoots you ordered to send me taste good, but what did you get these bamboos for?" Tan Feng came to look for Gaoyuan and looked at the densely thick bamboos growing up one after another. Tan Feng frowned.

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "We have few soldiers and can't attack the city, but we have to have some fun. No, you came just right, let's watch the fun! Xiaoyanzi, give it a try!"

Yan Haibo chuckled, and dragged two bundles of ropes and walked over. They were firmly tied to the top of the bamboo. The end of the rope was tied with a piece of sheepskin. Several soldiers dragged both ends of the rope with a shout, then dragged them back. In a blink of an eye, the two bowls of bamboo with the thickness of the mouth were pulled back, and the angle became larger and larger. A soldier who had been waiting on one side immediately picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms, put it on the sheepskin, and dragged it. The soldier on the rope screamed, and at the same time let go, the bamboo suddenly bounced back, and the stone screamed, was bounced out, and flew towards the city of hundreds of infantry.

"Lost Rock!" Tan Feng shouted.

Gao Yuan and the others did not answer.They watched the stone flying in the air.When it was about to reach the city wall, it was exhausted.It fell down and hit the wall with a bang, and everyone suddenly sighed.

"No way, no way!" Gao Yuan waved his hand again and again, "The bamboo is not strong enough, one can't work, just tie the two together!"

With the order, the soldiers got busy again.

Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at Tan Feng, who had suddenly realized it, and smiled: "We have few soldiers. It is true that we can't attack the city, but people can't go up. It doesn't mean that the stones can't go up. Some time ago, God kept raining. Stone them, even if you can't kill them, it will make them uneasy."

Tan Feng shook his head, "You can't figure it out."

Gao Yuan laughed," I accidentally found a large piece of bamboo not far away, and I did what I did. This is here. We are covered by General Tan’s cavalry. The Zhao army in the city dare not come out to fight. In another place, Zhao Jun will come out, but I can't stop it. The bamboo that I have been cutting and burying will be chopped up by them in a blink of an eye."

Tan Feng's eyes glowed, "You smashed them fiercely, and I was preparing on the side. If they can't bear to go out of the city to chop your bamboo, I will take the opportunity to kill them and chop them down."

"They wouldn't be so stupid." Gao Yuan shook his head.

"Zhao Qi is stupid enough!" Tan Feng said happily, "Or, how can you dare to fight us in a decisive battle by the Yishui River?"

Gao Yuan is also great music. Zhao Qi fought at the Yishui River. First, he was blindly confident of Zhao Jun's combat power. Second, he was blinded by hatred. If he really calmed down, he would not make such a low-level mistake. .

The movements of Yan Jun outside Yucheng are naturally known in the city. I didn't know what these bamboos were doing before, but after the first stone hits the city wall, is there any reason I don't understand, Zhao Qi, Zhao Meng'er Everyone rushed to the city wall, looking at the dense bamboo forest outside the city, they all took a breath.

Below the city, the simplest catapult that had been re-prepared was ready to go, and with the order from Gao Yuan, another stone flew up in the air.This time, the speed and strength were much stronger.

Everyone's eyes follow the trajectory of this stone, whether above or below the city.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng's eyes moved along with the trajectory of the stone. They watched as the stone flew above the city wall, and then fell quickly, with a bang, and the roof of the tower was smashed. In the hole, the city suddenly exclaimed.

The expressions of Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng were ugly.

"Is there any way?" Zhao Qi asked, looking at Zhao Meng.

Zhao Meng thought for a while, "Can you collect the cloth and silk in the city, place it on the city, and use the cloth to slow down the impact of these stones?"

"Confused!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said: "Do you want to turn the city into a sea of ​​fire? If you do this, a burst of rockets from below will hit the city and the city will be messed up."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and there was no other way except to carry them hard. Other than sending troops out of the city to cut these bamboos, is there any other good way? But how to get out of the city, now morale is low, and outside the city, Tan Feng counts Thousands of cavalry looked eagerly and went out of the city, just killing themselves.

Down the city, all the soldiers cheered and laughed loudly, "Come on, just do the same for me and hit them with stones."

It didn't take long for the rows of bamboo racks to be pulled back. With Yan Haibo's order, hundreds of stones passed through the air and flew straight to the city wall. The sound of rumbling was endless, and the city was full. In the chaos, the soldiers ran around looking for a place to hide.

The guards guarded Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng to retreat to a safe place, looking at the rags flying in the sky, the two looked at each other, their faces full of bitterness.

Below the city of Yi, the high-character flag that was flying turned out to be Zhao Jun’s nightmare. Before the war, one of the senior generals of Zhao Jun had put this little-known guy in his eyes, but who would have thought, Zhao Jun actually stumbled under this man again and again. The loss of the whole city laid the roots for the defeat of this war. The death of Zhao Dong made Zhao Qi even more painful. Now It seems that even they will become this lofty prey.

Previously, it was highly estimated that the main force of the Yanjun army would appear in Yucheng the next day after his arrival, but to his surprise, three days later, under the city, he still did not see Zhou Yuan's main force. Suddenly, even Tan Feng couldn't sit still, and sent a team of cavalry back to find the main force of the Yan army.

However, in the past three days, Gao Yuan and Tan Feng have not been idle. Every day, endless stones bombarding the city has become their greatest pleasure. If Zhao Jun in the city does not clean the stones, it is estimated that there is no more in the city now. The method is standing still.

However, on the second day of the bombardment from Gao Yuan, the effect was not so good. Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng also understood that Gao Yuan was purely looking for fun. He had no intention of attacking the city at all. Otherwise, in these rainy stones Under the bomb attack, his soldiers had already rushed up. In the next two days, as soon as the stone bomb flew, Zhao Jun hid in the hidden soldiers cave in the city, and when they stopped playing, they came out to clean the stones.

Of course Gao Yuan would not take the initiative to attack the city. There are more than 10,000 Zhao State's standing troops in the city, fighting hard and attacking hard. This little force under him is really not enough for fun, not to mention, it is hard to get these more than 3,000 people to experience. It needs to look a little bit, he doesn't want these soldiers to die on attacking the strong city, in the future, there will be more places to use!

With these three thousand people, Gao Yuan made up his mind to swallow it in one gulp. Every day of seemingly joking attacks, Gao Yuan naturally has his intentions. If you don't fight, it will make the soldiers slack off. Find something for them. Doing so, let them see that the standing army of the Zhao State, the so-called second strongest country in the world, did not dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle in front of them. This allowed these soldiers to be ambitious and confident to fight in the future. This kind of confidence will greatly help the army's combat effectiveness.

Gao Yuan is now very familiar with the trick of the fox fake Huwei. Thousands of cavalry with Tan Feng are watching, does Zhao Meng have the courage to come out?

The cavalry sent by Tan Feng came back, but to their surprise, the cavalry brought back was Zhou Yuan's command.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdrawal?" Tan Feng opened his mouth wide, and he could hardly believe his ears. His eyes were wide and he looked at the messenger who came back with the cavalry. "The general ordered us to withdraw, and the fat in his mouth was gone. In this city, it is Zhao Qi, a great figure in the state of Zhao, and a close associate of the king of Zhao. Catch him, it is a great advantage for our state of Yan."

The messenger bends down humbly, "General Tan, I don't know why I have to withdraw, but the general is now stationed in Fangcheng, and all military operations have stopped."

"Recovering the five cities, isn't it our strategic goal this time, how can we fall short for Shan Jiuren?" Gao Yuan was also puzzled.

"Lieutenant Gao, the villain doesn't know. When the two returned to Fangcheng, they naturally knew the reason." To Gaoyuan, the messenger maintained the same respect. After this battle, Gaoyuan is now in the Yan army. It is that no one knows, no one knows, and the name is loud.

"I'm afraid something has happened!" Tan Feng took a deep breath.

"Domestic?" Gao Yuan asked.

Tan Feng shook his head, "Definitely not, there will be no disturbances in the country right now, it must be a major disturbance in the Central Plains situation." Tan Feng is in a high position after all, and his knowledge is a bit higher than Gaoyuan. If you don't eat fat, then there must be something bigger than eating Yicheng and catching Zhao Qi.

"Retreat!" rs
