I’m The King

Chapter 683: Why is it too anxious to fry with the same root (5)

Thinking of the most terrible consequence, Zhao Qi couldn't help but feel a little restless. A few years ago, the big defeat at the border between Yan and Zhao cost him all his power in the army, and he was expelled from Handan. If it weren’t for the purpose of containing Zilan, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to have a comeback. This time, it’s hard to control the military power again. If I can quickly take Zilan and Daijun, then my own heel in the army will be He was standing firm, and then teamed up with Jing Rufeng, and he was able to take Zhao Mu easily. In this way, he could become the real first person under the Zhao Kingdom Zhao Wang. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

But if you fail, I'm afraid I will be devastated if I really take it, and it will be difficult to stand up forever. The more I thought about it, the more worried, and the more anxious. When I brought up my pen, I wrote a letter to Li Mingjun in Nanzhang, instructing him to be careful. It doesn’t matter if Nanzhang can’t hold it, but we must ensure that Nanzhang’s military strength does not threaten our army. On the back road, we must also coordinate with Hu Liang to ensure the smooth flow of the grain road. After writing this letter, I wrote a rigorously worded order to Tan Chunhua who was attacking Jianli. Xiao Jianli, who had been fighting for so long, still couldn’t win it. It seemed that he had to prepare to replace him again. Up.

The letter was sealed and sent out. The left army Zhao Xilie and the right army Hou Xiyi walked in frustratedly from the outside. When they looked at their faces, Zhao Qi knew that they were attacking. It came back without success.

"What's the difference between you two and trash? Sitting on the most elite army in the country of Zhao, even a group of farmers can't take it down. Until now, even the walls of Xiling City have not touched the side, and there is still a face. See me?" Zhao Qi roared when he saw the two confidantes.

Zhao Xilie and Hou Xiyi raised their heads and looked at Zhao Qi who was angry. They opened their mouths, but they didn't say anything. Both of them understood that the army left Nanzhang and marched directly into Xiling. It was a great burden. It was originally thought that the elites of the generation county were all in Shannan County. The rest of the heavy troops were deployed in Jianli, Hefeng, and Nanzhang. Even if Xiling had garrisons, it would not be too much. Even if later intelligence showed that there were a large number of civilian soldiers. They did not care when they gathered in Xiangxiling City. Minyong means that they are a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes. It means that they are a group of mobs. They may be brave, but under the attack of a well-trained army, they are brave. It will soon be replaced by fear. , Have you all the way!

But after a few days of fighting, the result was far beyond their expectations. Xilingcheng stood still, and they didn't even break the defensive position on the periphery.

Thirty thousand troops besieged Xiling City amidst the ice and snow. The food, grass, and firewood consumed every day is a shocking figure. Now, this passage that sustains the survival of tens of thousands of troops is affected day and night. The daily losses of military and civilian attacks are not a few, and the number of soldiers lost is increasing day by day. With every day of delay, there will be unpredictable dangers approaching them.

"Great Zhao is still a martial artist, and there are people who can recruit good warriors in the country. If you can't, I believe that many people will come and make contributions voluntarily." Zhao Qi said honestly.

Hearing what Zhao Qi said, Zhao Xilie raised his head, "Father!"

"Call me General!" Zhao Qi said angrily.

"Yes, General!" Zhao Xilie puffed out, "The people of the county are good at fighting. It is indeed beyond our expectations, but in the course of the offensive, we found a large-scale standard weapon of the Yan Guozheng East Army. For example, their crossbows, crossbows, and other weapons are very harmful to our army. I suspect that in Xiling City, soldiers from the Eastern Army are helping them to defend."

"Absurd!" Zhao Qi said angrily: "Don't use these to hide your incompetence. What is Gao Yuan doing now? He is fighting with Donghu. Almost all his soldiers and horses are concentrated in Hetao. The remaining few shrimp soldiers and crabs are stationed in the local area. It’s not enough to maintain law and order. What can I do to interfere in the affairs of the county."

"General, but we carefully inspected these weapons, and they are indeed weapons unique to the Eastern Army. You are there all the way!" Hou Xiyi said solemnly, "If these weapons are not too sharp, attack me. The soldiers caused large-scale injuries, and with the bravery of my great Zhao Shizu, it is impossible to make little progress so far."

"Weapons may be used. From Gaoyuan to help Zilan take down Shannan County, you will know that the two have already hooked up. This is one of the reasons why the king must take Zilan down. Gaoyuan supports Zilan's weapons. It’s possible, but it’s impossible to talk about sending troops. No matter how powerful the weapon is, someone has to make it. What's the difference between a sharp sword in a child’s hand and a broken iron? I’ll give it to you. In one day, if you can't break the perimeter defense of Xiling City, you should be prepared to lead the way!"

"Yes!" At this point, Zhao Xilie and Hou Xiyi had nothing to say. They looked at each other, bowed to Zhao Qi, and withdrew from Zhao Qi's account.

"Damn Yanren!" After the two quit, Zhao Qi couldn't help but cursed fiercely, hoping that Gao Yuan would lose cleanly in Hetao. At that time, it seemed that he would not interfere with Zhao's domestic affairs.

Although he said that the Eastern Expeditionary Army would not intervene on behalf of the county, Zhao Qi was still a little uneasy in his heart. On the one hand, he summoned the generals of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and ordered him to immediately investigate the movements of the remaining troops of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. He wrote a letter and sent it to Jicheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Yan, to express to King Yan his anger that he would intervene in Zhao’s internal affairs and assist Zhao’s anti-thief Lan. Although he knows that it won’t work, but if It is also good for Yan Guoneng to exert some pressure on Zhengdong Mansion.

Although Zhao Xilie said that Zhao Qi, a soldier of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Xiling City, does not believe him, he is not sure whether the Eastern Army will come in the future. He must not come to intervene, or Zilan's letter of help is already on the road to Jishi City.

It is necessary to take down Daijun as soon as possible. As long as Daijun is taken down and Zilan is captured, everything will be back on track, and the new era of Zhao will soon come.

Zhao Jun once again launched a crazy attack on Xiling City. At this time, Zilan was standing in the middle of the tower, watching the Zhao Jun soldier in Xuanyi not far away like a wave of anger, rushing towards the defense line outside Xiling City, the corners of her mouth twitching constantly. Standing next to him was a big man with a big beard. This man was not a general of Daijun, but Naha from Hejian County of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

This time, for the sake of replacing the county, Ye Zhen can be said to have laid his blood. The two army commanders, one infantry and one Naha, were all sent to Daijun. The infantry brought more than a thousand cavalry, and Naha commanded them. It was three thousand pawns. These four thousand men were already Ye Zhen’s most elite army. Now Hejian is really an empty shelf. Except for where Ye Zhen’s flag is, the entire Hejian County is only Thousands of recruits are still in training.

"Sir, the county guard, don't feel good in my heart?" Naha asked indifferently.

The muscles on Zilan's face were slightly twisted, pointing to the mysterious soldiers who rushed up in the distance, and then to the city under the city, the soldiers and civilians of the county, and said painfully: "These are my Da Zhao Zimin, now But you are fighting each other, how can you not feel uncomfortable in your heart?"

"This kind of feeling, our Eastern Army has also had it." Naha said indifferently: "Last winter, Tan Feng led the 20,000 Yan State Standing Army to raided our Eastern Army's Jishi City, half a month of **** battle, the city was up and down, bloody. , That kind of feeling is really uncomfortable, but there are some battles, but we have to fight, we are humans, it is impossible to take mermaid meat, even if it is a fish, we still have to bounce on the chopping board a few times! Zhao Wang faint, Zhao Qi is incompetent, the county guard, let alone anything else, just look at the king Zhao taking Zhao Qi as the general. Zhao Qi doesn't know the enemy and he dares to commit the warrior's taboo, so he came to the city of Xiling. If he succeeds, the county guard , It’s not just you that died, but Zhao Guo died. If the power of Zhao Guo falls into the hands of such a person, can you imagine Zhao Guo’s future?"

Zilan not only clenched her fist tightly.

"My governor said that if Zhao Guo is in the hands of people like Zilan Junshou, we can join forces to fight against the strong Qin. This is why we sent troops. Master Zilan, I hope that at this time, you will not be soft-hearted. , After winning this battle and winning Zhao Qi, the country of Zhao will definitely change, and this change must also be in the direction that is beneficial to you. Pan Hong has already gone to various places in the country of Zhao, and the place that will support you at that time will There will be more and more, and only if you sit on the chair in Handan, will Zhao Guo have a future!"

"Now it's hard to ride a tiger, no matter what my future is, I can only move forward." Zilan sighed. "But Xiling City, can you hold it?"

Naha laughed loudly, "Sir County Guard, don't worry, Zhao Jun is just like this. After playing for so many days, he has not even won the periphery. My three thousand elites have not been dispatched yet, and, Lord County Guard For the infantry, I’m afraid there will be good news coming back soon."

"infantry?"

"The infantry led more than a thousand cavalry and joined the special brigade of Bai Yucheng. I am afraid that they have already arrived in Nanzhang. They will work together with General Qin Lei in Nanzhang to defeat Li Mingjun under the city first. Li Mingjun was defeated, Zhao Qi Become the turtle of the Weng. "Naha waved his hand. "Victory is expected."

Zilan's spirit lifted up. If Nanzhang wins Li Mingjun and Zhao Qi's food road is broken, this battle will be lost. Nanzhang has blocked his retreat, and there will be no way for the tens of thousands of Zhao Jun here. Retreat, if you can capture Zhao Qi alive, then this battle with King Zhao will end with his complete victory. If everything goes well on Pan Hong's side, this civil turmoil in Zhao State may be easy. Can end early.

"Zhao Qi also seems to know that something is wrong, this time the offense is quite different!" Naha's faint laughter came to her ears, Zilan retracted her thoughts and looked at the battlefield below the city.

There is already a purgatory of blood and fire. P
