Chapter 486: General, you don’t want to be recorded in history, right?
Meng Wu’s mentality is very stable.
Although the Mengwu Division has retained a certain amount of combat power after dividing and joining forces, the Zhao army has become weaker after two tail-cutting escapes and fleeing all the way. The Mengwu Division has already had the ability to fight Zhao Jun head-on The fighting power of the decisive battle.
But Mengwu did not pursue a decisive battle, nor did he arrange ambush to intercept or pursue a surprise attack to defeat the enemy.
He just always allowed Fu Dai to see a Qin army in the distance, maintaining psychological pressure on Fu Dai, but did not engage in a fierce battle at close range, lest Fu Dian would notice the strength of the Qin army, and let Fu Dai I have always maintained the fear of the unknown!
But what puts Fu Ding most under pressure is not the hunter-like Meng Wu behind him, but the familiar earth wall in front of him!
When the earth wall came into view, Fu Dai and Yan Ju stopped at the same time, their eyes full of despair!
Fu Dai's voice was trembling: "Neihuang City is trapped, Yanghu City is trapped!"
"Lieren City is trapped, that is, Pei City is trapped, Ge Ni City is trapped Trapped!"
"Now, Feicheng is also trapped!"
At first, Fu Da thought that the Qin army besieged Neihuang City with heavy troops.
After arriving at Yanghu City, Fu Da believed that the Qin army might have relied on their superior strength to besiege Neihuang City, Yanghu City, and Jipu City, which formed the first line of defense.
As a result, when he crossed the river and marched westward to enter Lieren City to resist the Qin army, he was shocked to find that Lieren City was also trapped!
As Fu Dai led his army to Peicheng, then to Ge Ni City, and now to Feicheng, the food carried by Fu Dai's troops was almost exhausted, but they were unable to successfully enter even one city!
The two lines of defense and seven fortified cities across the southeast of Handan City were all trapped!
A fact that he was extremely unwilling to believe also came to light.
“The Qin army besieged at least seven cities!”
Fu Dai’s voice was full of despair and self-blame: “Even if the Qin army has an army of 140,000, they have to besiege them all at the same time! There are only 20,000 troops outside each of the seven cities!"
"The Qin army outside Neihuang City is not as large as the general imagined!"
" If I had not fled but fought to the death with Qin, I would have won!”
"My general, I have fallen into a trap!"
"My general, I have fallen into a trap by mistake!!!"
Fu Dian cannot understand!
Why did Ying Chengyu dare to take such risks!
Isn’t he worried about the rain falling from the sky and the failure of the trapped city?
Isn't he worried that the defender of a certain city will break through the siege, kill the Qin army, and block the Qin army's food route?
Once the Zhao army in Neihuang City breaks through and cuts off the Qin army’s food routes, all Qin armies west of Neihuang City will have no food available and are in danger!
However, the Zhao army in every city was waiting for the rain. After escaping, they also thought about changing cities to garrison without intending to fight Qin decisively.
Perhaps it was because Ying Chengyu had an army of 140,000 that he dared to take this dangerous strategy.
Perhaps, it was because Zhao Jun was afraid when facing Ying Chengyu, who had an army of 140,000, that Ying Chengyu was able to achieve this strategy.
Fu Ding has no intention of figuring out the reason.
His hand has touched the hilt of the sword.
Successfully falling into traps, failing to complete orders, and being defeated in such a manner, Fu Dai has no face to live in this world!
Seeing this, Yan Ju quickly grabbed Fu Da's hand: "General, don't do this!"
"It is really the Qin army that is treacherous, and they deceived our army into not investigating!"
"Since the general has defeated the Qin army, why don't our army return to fight back?"
Fu Ding said bleakly: "It's too late."
"Even a fake army is needed We must have a certain strength, and we cannot make false claims without roots."
"Neihuang City is our army's only chance."
"As our army wanders through the cities, the Qin army's originally scattered strength is also reduced. We are constantly joining forces, and now our army is no longer strong enough!”
Looking back at the Qin army's knights, Yan Ju could not argue.
But Yan Ju couldn't just watch Fu Ding commit suicide.
Otherwise, when the time comes for accountability after the war, wouldn’t Zhao Wangyan’s anger be directed only at Yan Ju?
Yan Ju pressed Fu Dai's hand harder and said solemnly: "General! Who in the world can resist Qin Chang'an Lord?"
"I just ask Wu An Lord to change places. , Mr. Wu An can only say nothing!”
"The enemy general is fierce and the enemy army is strong, but our army finally blocked the enemy for half a month, which bought Handan City time to recruit troops and reorganize the army. I think the king will not blame the general."
"Now Feicheng has been occupied. We are trapped, the Qin army may have arrived at Handan City, but Handan City does not know the situation of our army!"
Fu Dian grabbed the sword with all his strength.
According to his judgment, the Qin army may have arrived at Handan City long ago, and they were not able to stop the enemy for half a month!
Yan Ju pressed Fu Da's hand with both hands, and his voice became a little more urgent: "No matter what the current battle situation is, our army should immediately escort and rescue the king, and report the battle situation to the king!"
"General, you don't want our army to be annihilated because of your suicide, which will lead to the destruction of Handan and the capture of the king, right?"
Fu Di's fingers holding the hilt of the sword became stiff.
Many generals have been defeated by Ying Chengyu. Ying Chengyu is still very young and there will be more opportunities for great victories in the future.
Although Fu Dian was defeated miserably in this battle, he may not be qualified to be recorded in history.
But all countries in the world are limited.
If Handan was defeated and King Yan of Zhao was captured because of Fu Dao, then Fu Dao would undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of history and be reviled by Zhao people for thousands of years!
Strengthening Yan Ju's hand away, Fu Da shouted in a deep voice: "How could I kill myself, general? Don't disturb the morale of the army!"
Yan Ju breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over his hand: "The last general That's wrong!"
Fu Da looked at the Qin army rushing from Feicheng and ordered in a deep voice: "Go south to avoid the battle and return to Handan City at full speed!"
Seeing Fu Da's troops speeding around to the west from a distance, Meng Wu smiled and said: "Inform the commander, this Zhao army is about to arrive at Handan City."
"Command the entire army to speed up and prepare for a decisive battle!"
...At the same time.
Handan City.
“First to go! First to go!”
"Qin Gou, suffer death!"
"Pao Ze, wait for help, as long as we hold on to this place, our troops can get the advantage of being the first...ah!"
Crying to kill, Handan City was surrounded by cries and howls.
Rolled logs and gravel lay near the city wall.
The blood and corpses extend from hundreds of feet outside the city all the way into Handan City, and they are still growing!
On the east city gate tower, looking at the 80,000 Qin and Qi allied troops stationed outside the city, King Zhao Yan's eyes deepened: "In a short period of time, the weak Qi army can fight to the death with our Zhao warriors."
"Qin Chang'an Jun is well-deserved!"
Although Ying Chengyu seems to have only allowed 8,000 Qin troops to go deep into the Qi army to serve as commanders, garrison commanders and other grassroots generals, in order to infect and control He defeated more than 70,000 Qi troops.
But Ying Chengyu has an overwhelming identity and reputation, a large number of elite troops of considerable strength, the ability to lobby with the Qi State to negotiate rewards for the Qi army, and the decisiveness to make decisions in the face of battle even when he is on an expedition... ...If one of them is missing, it will not be able to achieve the same effect as Ying Chengyu, and it may even turn the only elite soldier in Ying Chengyu's hands into a weak force!
Zhao Wangyan’s eyes were focused on the big banner and he sighed in his heart.
Ying Zheng, your life is really good!
Guo Kai said coldly: "This is not all the fault of Lord Chang'an of Qin, but also the fault of our Zhao general Fu Di!"
"The king is kind and only ordered Fu Di to lead the army. Block the enemy at the front line of Neihuang City for two months, and then retreat to Feicheng and join forces with the defenders of Handan City to resist the Qin army."
"What will be the result?"
"Lead the two armies. Thousands of elite soldiers were stationed in the Neihuang cities, but they only held off the enemy for a few days, and their current whereabouts are unknown.”
"Not even the wolf-headed people would be so stupid and incompetent!"
"The main force of the Qin army was actually driven straight in, taking advantage of our unpreparedness to attack Handan!"
"If it hadn't been for this! The king acted decisively and wisely, and Handan was in danger!"
"It was precisely because of the crisis that night that the Qi army mistakenly thought that there was a chance of winning this battle, so they fought desperately!"
< br>"The Qi army should pay homage to General Fu Da!"
Zhao Wangyan knew that Guo Kai was putting on Fu Dui's shoes, but Zhao Wangyan did not stop him. Instead, he said coldly: "General Fu Dui has betrayed me deeply!"
No one could have thought of Ying Chengyu. Unexpectedly, they only stayed in Inner Huangcheng for seven days before moving all the way westward. Dividing their troops and besieging the city along the way did not slow down Ying Chengyu's marching speed. The reduction of troops even caused the marching speed of Ying Chengyu's troops to increase again!
Even Li Mu could not have imagined that Ying Chengyu could arrive at Handan City on April 9th, then extinguish the torches and attack the city at night without taking a moment's rest!
When the Handan garrison saw the Qin army climbing the city, their first reaction was that they had seen a ghost in the middle of the night, rather than that they had seen the Qin army!
God knows how panicked Zhao Wangyan was that night!
Thirty percent of the Handan garrison was killed in one night, and nearly 70% of the Handan palace guards were killed. The doors of all the generals and clansmen's houses were opened wide, and their soldiers and servants came out. Even Zhao Wangyan was wearing pajamas and leading the eunuchs with swords to rush to the front line. , and then the Qin and Qi coalition forces were driven out of Handan City with difficulty.
As long as Fu Dai sent a military report, Handan City would not have been almost fell.
Zhao Wangyan’s dissatisfaction with Fu Dai has reached its peak!
The more Zhao Wangyan thought about it, the angrier he became: "It would be great if General Fu Dui could come back in time, otherwise I~cough~cough~"
Guo Kai hurriedly sent a golden elixir in Zhao Wangyan said, patting Zhao Wangyan's back gently: "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest first."
"With Mr. Wu Xiang on the front line, I don't think it will make the king worried."
Le Cheng suddenly handed over his hand: "The final general will protect Handan and live up to the king's trust!"
After a long while, Zhao Wang Yan stopped coughing and waved away Guo Kai: "The battle situation today is difficult. Only by staying on the front line can the morale of our soldiers be high."
"In case of emergency. , I can make a decision immediately. "
Zhao Wangyan's illness is getting worse and he also wants to return to the palace to rest.
But the precedent of Helv City's fall is right in front of us.
Zhao Wangyan has also noticed the strange movements of the Chu people in the city.
In order to avoid repeating the past events in Helu City, Zhao Wangyan had to stand at the front carrying his sick body!
Guo Kaizhong supported Zhao Wang Yan again, with an angry look on his face: "Your Majesty, you must not be so generous to yourself..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded through the city wall.
"Reinforcements? It's reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"
"It's General Fu Da! General Fu Da has led his army back for reinforcements! We are saved!"
Zhao Wangyan's eyes lit up , shook off Guo Kai again, and ran to the city wall with staggering steps.
Looking into the distance, I saw a troop of soldiers and horses speeding towards them.
Although it is difficult to see the details from a distance, the red and green flags clearly indicate the identity of this army.
They are soldiers of Zhao State!
King Yan of Zhao laughed heartily and shouted loudly: "Order, all the chariots should be allocated to Lord Wu Xiang's troops."
"Order Lord Wu Xiang to lead the main force and store them inside the east city gate. , ready to break out of the city and bring reinforcements into the city!"
"Inform the entire army that reinforcements have arrived!"
"Beat the drum!"
