Chapter 262: Fallen City
After retreating from Jing'an, crossing the Yishui River in a panic, and returning to the whole city, Zhao Qian had the feeling of surviving after a catastrophe. With a strong city to rely on, his heart was much more at ease.
Compared with those comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield, Zhao Qian, who is quite lucky, has eaten a lot of big fish and meat in the past few days. In addition to the humid weather, he needs to strengthen the city wall during the day and sleeps a little bit at night. He caught a cold before he knew it, and it was nothing more than a headache and brain fever, but his stomach upset really annoyed him, he had to wake up several times at night, and he could still sleep peacefully there.
It was like this again today, my stomach rang like thunder several times, but Zhao Qian really didn't want to remember it, there was lightning and thunder outside, heavy rain was pouring, and there was no shelter from the wind and rain on the road from the sleeping place to the latrine, Even if you bring rain gear, you will inevitably be drenched when you come back.
Gritting his teeth for a while, the rumble in his stomach became more intense. He couldn't bear it any longer. If he tried harder, he might have to pull it in his trousers. Not to mention the embarrassment, he might even be treated badly by his brothers. Ridiculously got up from the ground, grabbed a bamboo hat indiscriminately, opened the door, and Zhao Qian rushed out.
There was a burst of noise, and Zhao Qian breathed out a sigh of relief. He pulled up his trousers, pushed open the latrine, put on his bamboo hat, hummed a tune, and plunged into the wind and rain.
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky at this moment, illuminating the whole city like daylight. Zhao Qian, who was running, raised his head and glanced at the huge white scar in the sky. Taking a look under the city wall, in an instant, the pores of the whole body exploded, and the enemies, densely packed, were rushing towards the whole city.
The lightning subsided, and there was a sudden darkness in front of his eyes. A thunder that resounded through the sky and the earth rang in his ears. Zhao Qian didn't feel it. At this moment, the sound of thunder was also in his mind.
The enemy is coming!
The footsteps stopped suddenly, but the upper body was still moving forward due to inertia, staggered, and nearly fell down. Trying to stabilize his body, Zhao Qian took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide, and prepared to warn his comrades in the city.
As soon as he took in a breath, his neck tightened, and a powerful arm wrapped around his neck like an iron hoop. Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly protruded, and he grabbed the arm that made him unable to breathe with both hands. Under the pull, he didn't move at all, and dizziness came in his head, his legs kicked hard on the ground, and his side suddenly felt cold, Zhao Qian only felt that the strength of his whole body was leaking out along there like a flood at this moment, and the two A hand dropped helplessly.
The hand holding his neck loosened, but Zhao Qian was unable to utter a single word. He lay down in the rainwater up to his ankles, blood flowed out from the wound on his side, mixed in the rainwater, In the blink of an eye, it was washed away without a trace.
Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the bright white light shone on Zhao Qian's face that had completely lost all color. His eyes were wide open, but they were already lifeless.
Gao Yuan stood in the rain holding his triangular military thorn, the blood on the military thorn mixed with the rain, and dripped down, he waved his hand, and two hundred Fufeng soldiers in blue clothes came out behind him, one of them followed Gao Yuan One goes straight to the city tower, and the other goes to the city gate.
Open the city gate, thousands of Yan troops will pour into this seemingly completely undefended city, and everything will be over.
A flash of lightning, a bang of thunder, Zhao Dong woke up from his dream with a shock, inside and outside the house, except for the sound of pattering rain and the occasional thunder, there was nothing unusual. Sitting up from the bed, he felt numb all over his body. It was extremely uncomfortable, he wiped his forehead, and the cold sweat in his hand made him smile wryly, he can be regarded as a veteran in the battlefield, but he still looks like a snake, maybe it was the big defeat a few days ago, which made him feel a little lost.
Lie down again, but couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't help but think back to the big battle a few days ago. I have to say that this time, the Yan army was fully prepared, and it had already laid down a long time ago. In comparison, Zhao Guo's preparations are too insufficient, at least not sufficiently accurate in terms of military intelligence, otherwise, Zhou Yu, a standing army of as many as 20,000 people, would be subdued in Jiang It shouldn't be hard to find out in Daji's army.
The general underestimated the Yan army too much! Zhao Dong sighed in his heart, Zhou Yuan of the Yan State, could achieve the position of Taiwei, how could it be easy to get along with each other? For a long time, the biggest enemy in the heart of Zhao State is only Qin Guo, Yan Guo, who has been attached to Zhao Guo for more than ten years, has always been ignored, and now, retribution is coming.
No one is easy to get along with, even under the situation of equal military strength, the outcome of such a big battle is still a hair's breadth away, not to mention that the Yan army now has a clear upper hand in terms of military strength.
If we hadn't crossed the river to fight from the beginning, but just defended the border and kept the five cities, the current situation would definitely be different. It's just that the general was a little too restless because of the Linghu family. Also underestimated.
Tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, Zhao Dong simply got up from the bed, walked to the table, and drank a large glass of water to cool down his restless heart.
Go around the city wall to see if the soldiers are loyal to their duties? Zhao Dong put on his armor, held a knife, and opened the door.
Just as he stepped out of the door with his left foot, amidst the howling wind and rain, there was a sudden loud cry, Zhao Dong opened his mouth wide in shock, swayed his body, and almost fell to the ground. The shouts resounded throughout the city.
Zhao Dong's eyes turned black, and he held on to the door frame, so he didn't let himself fall down. His throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood was almost spurted out. In such weather, such heavy rain, and the rushing Yishui River , the enemy actually touched it.
They have entered the city! Years of experience allowed Zhao Dong to judge the form he is in right away.
He slapped himself hard on the face, he had to take advantage of the time when the enemy had just entered the city and his foothold was not stable, and expel the opponent, otherwise, everything would be over. There are tens of thousands of garrisons in the whole city, while the Yan army on the opposite side of the Yishui River is only a few Thousands of people, as long as the situation is stabilized, it is not Tianfang Yetan to save the situation.
"Come on, come on!" Pulling out his sword, Zhao Dong rushed into the yard, shouting loudly.
Above the city tower, the high and far-sighted people overlooked the whole city. Here, the whole city can be seen at a glance. The night attack was smoother than imagined, and the opponent had no defense at all. It is no wonder that in such weather, There is also the Yishui River that is flooding, and it is difficult for the opponent to imagine how to cross the Yishui River without a boat or a bridge.
Thanks to Sha Potian Bai Yucheng, Gao Yuan said in his heart, their sheepskin rafts that can be used alone or assembled together have helped him a lot.
"County Lieutenant, the interrogation is out!" Yan Haibo walked over excitedly. "Ask where Zhao Dong is!"
"Let's go!" Gao Yuan didn't have any nonsense, turned around and left. There are more than ten thousand Zhao troops in the city. If Zhao Dong is asked to organize the rout, it will inevitably be another bitter battle. At the moment, Zhao Jun will not know how to fight. The soldiers don't know the generals, but it is a good opportunity to defeat them all. He wants to attack Huanglong directly, so that Zhao Dong has no spare energy to organize and command his army." Xiao Yanzi, take your people and take the plan to sweep over for me. Zhao Dong, I will deal with it."
"County Captain, you only have two hundred people." Yan Haibo shouted.
"My two hundred people are no worse than your one thousand people!" Gao Yuan grinned and laughed. Of the more than four hundred Fufeng soldiers who survived, more than two hundred people were assigned to each battalion as grassroots officers. Two hundred people formed Gao Yuan's personal soldiers, which is the soul power of this Yan army.
Gao Yuan led more than two hundred Fufeng soldiers, went down the city wall, and disappeared in the pouring rain.
The city was in chaos, and soldiers of the Zhao army were running around everywhere. As Gao Yuan saw, the sudden attack caused the Zhao army to lose its unified organizational system. He ran towards the place where he shouted to kill with his weapons, without any organization at all.
Gao Yuan took the lead, leading two hundred Tsing Yi Fufeng soldiers, and rushed all the way to Zhao Dong's camp. The Zhao army who stood in front of them, without exception, became the souls of their swords. The soldiers, which had already become the nightmare of these Zhao troops, suddenly encountered them again today. Fear overcame everything. After the initial resistance of several Zhao troops were wiped out like chopping melons and vegetables, this small number The Fufeng Soldiers became the gods of death that Zhao Jun avoided and feared.
Zhao Bing retreated, and Gao Yuan's advancing speed suddenly accelerated.
There was the sound of thundering horseshoes in the distance, and a cavalry was approaching here at high speed.
"There are cavalry attacking!" The Fufeng soldiers stopped suddenly, and Gao Yuan made a few gestures. On the street, several bridle ropes were laid in a blink of an eye. The soldiers holding the ropes hid themselves in the corner of the house, and more Soldiers formed a group, two people folded their hands, one stepped on it, threw it vigorously, and the other climbed onto the roof. He took off the longbow on his back, stretched the bow and set up an arrow.
In a blink of an eye, there was no one on the street.
The cavalry that came running were Zhao Jun's cavalry led by He Dapeng. The city was suddenly attacked, He Dapeng was shocked, he only led more than a hundred cavalry and went straight out. The place he was going was the city gate.
The anxious He Dapeng didn't seem to notice anything strange on the street, he galloped his horse, and then he felt himself flying up, and the galloping horse fell to the ground, throwing him high, and he was in mid-air. On the ground, more horses collided with each other, fell into a ball, and were thrown into the air, and there were a few brave knights riding in front of him.
There was the humming of bowstrings in my ears.
