Chapter 948: The Magnificent Power of Han (Part 72)

There are a total of 2,000 Zhao troops and 3,000 Wei troops stationed in Longmen. The 5,000-strong defense of Longmen, which is not large, is more than enough in terms of military strength. After all, this is an important node connecting Wei and Zhao. Song Chixuan, the guard of the Zhao army, belongs to the Zhao Qi system. , is also an experienced general. Under his command, Longmen's defense has always been watertight, and the Qin people have not found any loopholes.

But this time, it was obviously beyond his ability. The order he received was to lead the Zhao army back to Daliang, and the defense line he was originally responsible for would be taken over by the Han army. When he received the order, Song Chixuan was quite happy. After confronting the Qin people for so long, his nerves were always in a state of high tension. After all, the opponent's strength was greater than his own, so he had to be careful and care about everything. He could finally go back to the rear to rest. This is a good thing for him and his army.

When the two thousand Zhao troops packed up and prepared to return, the Qin army's cavalry came suddenly and tore through the previously solid defense line in an instant. The two thousand Zhao troops faced the battle in panic. They only lasted less than an hour and were defeated in many places. , the army was defeated like a mountain, and the Qin infantry that followed quickly expanded the results to both wings and continued to attack the Wei army's defense line. For a while, Longmen was in danger.

"Hold on, and those who take a step back will be killed!" On the chaotic battlefield, Song Chixuan led his last organized team to face the surging Qin army, fighting back desperately, firmly holding on to the last step. At the stronghold. His only hope now is that the Han army who came to take over the defense can arrive quickly after hearing the news, and drive the Qin army out of Longmen while the Qin army is not yet stable. And every time he holds on a little longer, Time will lay the foundation for victory in the subsequent Longmen counterattack.

The Han army is still half a day away. Song Chixuan has already learned the specific situation from the scouts. Previously, he did not pay attention to this. The front line has been quiet for too long, and the deployment of the armies of both sides has always been the top secret. Qin It was impossible for the Zhao army to know such detailed information, and Zhao Jun, who had been stationed here for too long, was eager to return home, so when his subordinates began to pack up and withdraw from the position in advance, he did not pay much attention to this matter.

But when the Qin army picked the time so accurately, Song Chixuan knew that something must have gone wrong. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, while the Han army that should be here was still there. With no trace, Song Chixuan finally fell into despair.

The entire front line fell into chaos, and he had completely lost contact with all his subordinates. Not only the Zhao army, but also the Wei army on both wings were fighting on their own. Song Chixuan knew very well that under this situation, Under this situation, it is no longer possible for his own army to win. The reason why the Wei and Zhao coalition forces were able to defend Longmen relied on a complete defense system. Now that this system is broken, the armies fighting each other face a more powerful force. At the time of the Qin army, it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated.

"Break through the encirclement and fight out." Song Chixuan roared angrily, leading his last remaining men back to fight outside the battlefield.

The anger in Song Chixuan's heart could not be increased. No matter how the Qin army got the news that the two sides were about to switch defenses and launched a sudden attack, he had been working hard for a whole half day. Although most of the defense lines had been lost, if the Han army arrived on time, It is not impossible to turn defeat into victory, but half a day has passed, and the Han army that should have appeared is still missing. When we return to Daliang, we must settle this account with the opponent.

At this moment, only dozens of the closest cavalry were left behind him. The others had not caught up, and they were afraid they would never be able to catch up. Looking back at Longmen, Song Chixuan's heart was filled with regret. If he had still been cautious, Some people waited until the Han army arrived before starting preparations for retreat. How could the current situation occur?

The front was already Erlong Mountain, and the pursuers behind him had disappeared without a trace. His safety seemed to be no problem. Before he could take a breath, the war horse suddenly neighed loudly, and the horse stumbled. Song Chixuan's whole body was shaken. He immediately flew out like a mist. In the air, he was horrified to see that dozens of his mounted guards were plotted almost at the same time. On the road, countless snagging ropes suddenly bounced up, and people screamed "horses neighing." The sound became one.

Countless figures emerged from the darkness. Before the people who had stumbled to the ground could react, they were pushed to the ground. In an instant, they were tied up into rice dumplings one by one.

Song Chixuan was extremely horrified. Could it be that the Qin army had already sneaked in here and set up an ambush? This makes no sense, this is impossible.

In the darkness, being pushed and staggering forward, Song Chixuan saw in horror that in the night, his vision was filled with a black steel jungle, with rows of soldiers standing like javelins in the darkness. While moving forward, he heard the sound of horse hooves gently scraping the ground, and countless cavalry appeared before his eyes again.

This is the Han army! Song Chixuan could hardly believe his eyes. They had arrived at Erlong Mountain a long time ago, but they stopped here and watched the Longmen defense line being broken through and occupied by the Qin army. What did they want to do?

Song Chixuan wanted to yell or roar angrily, but his mouth was tightly blocked, and he could only let out waves of muffled groans from his throat.

There was a firelight flashing in front of him, and Song Chixuan was pushed into the light of the fire. He was kicked in the knee, and his body went limp involuntarily, and he knelt down on the ground.

"Song Chixuan?" A voice came from in front of him. Song Chixuan raised his head. In front of him, a general wearing the uniform of a senior general of the Han army was looking at him with a smile. When he looked down, he saw a Iron feet, infantry! The highest general of Han who led the Han army into Wei.

Song Chixuan now knew very clearly that the fall of Longmen was absolutely inseparable from Yiyou, otherwise, his army would not have stopped at Erlong Mountain. He shook his head angrily and stared at the infantry with blood-red eyes.

"In the Battle of Longmen, as a general, you left the battlefield, abandoned your soldiers and fled. Ning Chixuan, do you know your guilt?" The infantryman stared down at Song Chixuan and asked sternly.

Song Chixuan stared at the opponent and struggled desperately.

"Want to defend?" The infantryman smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled away the rag in Song Chixuan's mouth. As soon as the rag was pulled out, Song Chixuan roared angrily, "It's you, traitors, you betrayed the information, you saw it If you don't save me, if you sit back and watch Longmen fall, you will not end well."

The infantry snorted coldly, "Song Chixuan, the two armies changed defenses. Your army has to wait until our army arrives before it can evacuate its position and leave the defense line. But how did you do it? If you completed the tactical actions strictly in accordance with wartime regulations, how? Will a situation like this happen now? The Dragon Gate is lost, you are guilty of a great crime, and you must be executed according to the law, what else do you have to say?"

"I am the general of the State of Zhao. It is not your infantry's turn to speak. I want to see General Zhou." Song Chixuan shouted: "Even if you want to punish me for missing the opportunity, it is not your Han army's turn."

The infantry clapped their hands and said: "Okay, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. If you want to see General Zhou, I will let you get what you want."

Song Chixuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he returned to Daliang and the Zhao army camp, he would not lose his life in such a muddle. But the next scene made him almost unable to believe his eyes. He should be in Daliang. Zhou Changshou unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

"Song Chixuan, I'm right here, what else do you have to say?" Zhou Changshou pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and stared at Song Chixuan coldly.

"General Zhou, you, you..."

Looking at Zhou Changshou, Song Chixuan understood a lot of things in an instant. His eyes were full of shock and disbelief. He stared at Zhou Changshou, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything.

"General Bu, I would like to have a few words with him alone, okay?" Zhou Changshou looked at the infantry and said.

"Of course, no problem, General Zhou, please!" The infantry waved, and two guards dragged Song Chixuan to the rear, followed by Zhou Changshou.

Under a big tree, Song Chixuan cut his hands upside down and sat cross-legged on the ground. When he saw Zhou Changshou appearing here, he no longer had any hope of living.

"Zhou Changshou, I just want to ask you, why did you betray Zhao?" Song Chixuan asked sharply.

Zhou Changshou stared at Song Chixuan for a long time, and then said: "General Song, you have always been a direct member of Zhao Shoufu's command. I just want to ask you one thing, what is the meaning of General Zhao's death that year?"

Song Chixuan was startled and looked at Zhou Changshou, but said nothing.

"Except for Zhao Xilie and Li Mingjun, all the generals who followed Zhao Shoufu to attack Daijun were dead. General Zhao and Zilan died together. I just want to know how General Zhao died? "Zhou Changshou's voice gradually became colder.

"The imperial court has made it very clear on this matter. It was Zilan who set the trap and killed General Zhao."

"Song Chixuan, do you think I am an idiot?" Zhou Changshou snorted coldly: "To be honest, I can let you live and let you go back to Zhao Kingdom. You must know the truth, right?"

"I don't know." Song Chixuan was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Zhou Changshou, no matter how General Zhao died, it is already in the past. As a general of Zhao State, you should serve Zhao State. , not General Zhao alone. What you are doing now is forgetting your ancestors!"

"I have also thought this way, let the past be bygones, and the living will always continue." Zhou Changshou sighed, "But Zhao Shoufu didn't think so? Wu Zeng should be dying now, right? ?Who will be after him? I think that the next step should be to call me back to the country. The reason may be to transfer me to Hedong Camp to take over Wu Zeng's position, but I'm afraid I will never reach Hedong. Zhao Shoufu must have prepared the men and horses of the tiger and leopard riders. He will capture me as soon as I return to the country. And the Zhao army in the Wei State will gradually withdraw to the Zhao State under your command, right? ?”

Song Chixuan's face was pale, but he remained silent.

Looking at Song Chixuan's face, Zhou Changshou knew that his guess was correct. He stood up a little lonely and strode away. Two soldiers came over with swords in their hands. Song Chixuan sighed and closed his eyes.
