Chapter 157 Blitz (3)
"Oh, I'm so tired..."
Zhao Tongyi was hunched and panting, looking at the rugged Jingxing Mountain Road, wanting to cry without tears. At this time, no subordinates carried him away. Zhao Tong realized the difficulties of Jingxing Road.
"General, the Qin people were hanging behind him without a stop for a moment, and they were about to catch up!"
The personal soldiers climbed a rock and looked closely and faintly, the Qin army was not far behind.
"Hold on it again, and when you arrive in Shiyi, it will be safe."
Zhao Tong's appearance fell into the eyes of his personal soldiers, and his morale became even lower. Jingxing Pass fell, and only a few twenty personal soldiers protected Zhao Tong and fled here. Zhao Tong not only did not show what the generals should have, but instead complained about being tired and complained.
The Zhao royal family, since King Wuling and Ma Fujun, no longer had the legacy of the Zhao clan's bravery. Even the world-famous Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng is more literary than quality, more elegant than elegance, but less military talent.
Zhao State may be hopeless.
The soldiers thought this way and then thought of the news from Handan. The King of Zhao was seriously ill and probably his life was not long. The eldest son Zhao Jia, who had always been quite impressed, did not become the crown prince. The current crown prince Zhao Qian, whose mother was born as a singer, was deeply favored by the King of Zhao, was willing to abolish Zhao Jia's position as crown prince for this reason.
After King Huiwen of Zhao died, the young King Zhao Xiaocheng Zhao Dan succeeded to the throne. The Battle of Changping took place a few years later, and the entire Zhao army was wiped out. When the storm came, a young king could not give the people confidence.
People like Ying Zheng are a minority after all, looking at the entire history.
A shadow was cast in the hearts of the personal soldiers, but they still fulfilled their duties. The two personal soldiers came forward, supported Zhao Tong's arm, half lifted and half pulled, and continued to take steps.
Night fell very quickly, and soon the moonlight shone down, covering Jingxing Road with a layer of silver frost.
"Where are we going?"
Zhao Tong finally regained some energy and suddenly found that he had walked out of Jingxing Road. In the blurry night, he seemed to be able to see the city walls of Shiyi.
"Of course I went to Shiyi."
The personal soldiers were a little puzzled, and they left Jingxing Road, which was the closest to Shiyi.
"No, I can't go to Shiyi!"
Zhao Tong shook his head vigorously. When the evening breeze blew, his head finally woke up completely: "The Qin army followed us, and the target was Shiyi. If you enter Shiyi, you will never be able to escape."
On the summer night, the night breeze brings a cool feeling, but Zhao Tong feels a hint of coldness.
"Change the way, let's go directly to Handan." Zhao Tong stopped, turned around, and set out on the road to Handan.
"General, will Shi Yi ignore it?" Zhao Tong's personal soldiers felt a little anxious.
"Of course you have to take care of it!"
Zhao Tong patted the personal soldier on the shoulder and looked kind: "It's enough for me to take ten people to Handan. The rest of the people will go to Shiyi with you to help Shiyi County Magistrate defend the city."
Swish-
The fast-reacting soldiers immediately rushed to Zhao Tong's side. When the remaining soldiers reacted, they had already become left-behind elements heading to Shiyi.
“Ah…………”
Looking at Zhao Tong and his group who were sank into the darkness, the remaining soldiers, look at me, and look at you, and I'll see you for a long time.
"Aniu, what should I do now?"
"Are you still going to Shiyi?"
The eyes of the personal soldiers finally fell on the personal soldiers A Niu, who was leading the company, and wanted to let him make an idea.
"When you go back? What will you go?" A Niu said angrily: "Have you heard from the general? Going back to Shiyi is a dead end. The Zhao family's country doesn't care about the Zhao family. Why are we doing so hard!"
A Niu was very depressed. When he was a child, he often heard his father telling the story of the war between Wuling King, and he yearned for it very much. He dreamed of following a great general and fighting in all directions. But after he actually joined the army, he met Zhao Tong, a nobleman, which disappointed him.
"What are you doing with me?"
After walking a distance, A Niu found that the remaining people were still following him.
"You have a flexible mind, and you will definitely be able to save your life with you." A soldier laughed.
After the fall of Jingxing Pass, Zhao Tong was in vain, but A Niu seemed to be calm in the face of changes and made suggestions to Zhao Tong many times. The soldiers saw it and secretly admired it in their hearts.
Authority comes from status, wealth and intelligence. Aniu showed his talent and invisibly became the light in the hearts of the soldiers.
"I'm going to the land of the country. If you are not afraid of the Huns, just follow me!"
A Niu felt intuitively that the southern part of Zhao State would probably not be able to be saved. He had gone to the mountains to hunt, set up traps, intercepted and chased, and even killed tigers, he could not escape the palm of the hunters. The Qin army marched towards Handan in the south, and now Jingxing Pass is lost to the north, and Sima Shang's army is difficult to block the Qin army's troops. After thinking about it, he still felt that the Dai land in the north was safer, and it was really not possible. He could cross the Great Wall and escape to the grassland.
"Hurry, hurry up, speed up, Shiyi is not far ahead!"
Shortly after Zhao Tong and A Niu left, the Qin army's team chased after him.
Under the night, the Qin army marched silently, almost integrated with the night. When the night attacked at night, the Qin army's black military uniform became a perfect disguise.
Meng Tian lowered his voice, urging Meng Hu, Meng Bao cheered up and quietly touched Shiyi's city gate.
The city walls of Shiyi are about 150 meters high, but the Qin army does not have large siege equipment in their hands. When the Zhao army reacted, if they forcibly siege the city, they would probably have many casualties.
Meng Tian was worried that Zhao Tong would enter Shiyi. After the Zhao people received the news, they would stick to their support. They kept crossing Jingxing Road and rushed to Shiyi without stopping for a moment.
"Why is it quiet?"
Meng Tian looked around and saw clearly under the moonlight, but there was no one.
Will there be ambush?
At this time, Meng Tian understood a little why the empty city plan was successful.
"Stop moving forward!" Meng Tian waved his hand, and Qin Jun immediately stopped and squatted on the ground.
The Qin army's spear was wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and the moonlight shone on it without a trace of light.
"Transfer to Man Qiang, let him lead the team and seize the city gate!"
When he captured Jingxing Pass, the powerful Ruishi Battalion injured a lot. Although not many people died, it still had a great impact on the combat effectiveness of Ruishi Battalion. There was no way. In order to reduce greater casualties, Meng Tian could only use Ruishi Battalion to death. When the war was completed and the Qin army was repaired, he would find a way to replenish the troops.
As far as the Qin soldiers looked, Man Qiang led thirty sharp men, hugging their waists, jumping up, sometimes lying down, and soon touching the moat. The sharp men quietly sank into the water, with only a little ripples, and not even a splash of water splashing.
Deep in Shiyi, the rear of Zhao State, had not seen any war for many years. At night, the soldiers guarding the city gate were all newly sent soldiers.
After the evening meal, the night became darker. The Zhao Junmen Chief, who was guarding the gate, went to Nulu as usual. The remaining soldiers saw that there was no one coming and going, as usual, were on duty for half an hour and went back to the dormitory to sleep.
Under the dim oil lamp in Shiyi, the county magistrate looked through the bamboo slips, which read the news from Handan, and it was recruiting again.
It really doesn't work, so I can only send the group of young men who transported the grain to the front line of Handan.
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Shiyi suddenly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart: Why has the grain transporter not returned to Shiyi yet? What's wrong with Jingxing Pass, right?
At this time, the county commissar suddenly opened the county government's gate, ran in panic, shouted:
"Sir, it's not good! The Qin army has attacked Shiyi..."
