Chapter 740: Summon Lord Wu An to return with the death of this general!
The soldiers under Hu Qiong stared blankly at the figure held high by Ying Chengyu with his halberd.
They couldn't see clearly the appearance of the figure, but they could recognize the armor worn by the figure!
"Captain, died in battle?!"
"Pao Ze, avenge the captain!!!"
"Mr. Wu'an was escorted back to Handan City for questioning. Our captain died in the battle. How can we fight this battle? How can we fight!"
Li Mu's being recalled to Handan City for questioning already made the morale of the Zhao army low.
One of the two captains was missing and the other was killed, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Zhao army.
A few soldiers loyal to Hu Qiong rushed towards Ying Chengyu regardless of their own safety, trying to avenge Hu Qiong.
But more of Hu Qiong’s soldiers either surrendered or fled!
In the middle of the Zhao army, Zhao Cong's face was pale: "How could it be so!"
"How could it be so!"
"My general's order was indeed a little late, but it was not As for causing Hu Qiong’s troops to suffer a huge defeat!”
Isn’t it normal to take a long test during the war?
This general just thought more carefully and issued the order a little later.
Why did Huang Gao's troops fail to arrive at the scheduled position on time, which led to Huang Gao's troops being intercepted by Meng Tian's troops, which in turn caused the empty right wing of Hu Qiong's troops to be taken advantage of by Xi Feng's troops, and ultimately Hu Qiong was killed and Hu Qiong's troops were defeated!
Sima Shang's voice was full of anxiety: "Commander, don't pursue the past!"
"What exactly should our army do now, please tell me quickly, commander!"
Zhao Cong took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "How long will it take for the surrounding ambush troops to reach the battlefield?"
Sima Shang said without hesitation: "The fastest it will take is about a day!"
Li Mu has never underestimated Ying Chengyu.
Only by placing the ambush far enough away can we avoid Ying Cheng's scouts.
With Li Mu using his body as bait, it is not difficult for Li Mu to lead 120,000 soldiers and horses to hold on for two or three days, and it would be easy to hold on for another half month.
But what is easy for Li Mu is more difficult for Zhao Cong than climbing to the sky!
Zhao Cong's fingers trembled slightly: "One day?"
"Today, the morale of the Qin army is like a rainbow, and the morale of our army is low. Two troops have already been defeated, which is likely to lead to the collapse of other troops!"
"Hold on for one day..."< br>
Hu Qiong and Ren You had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, but they could not stop the Qin army for an hour.
Now that there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses left around Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong has no idea how he can hold on for one day and wait for the ambush to arrive!
Even if the ambush arrives, what will happen?
The ambush troops were only 30,000, and they came from a long distance to attack. They were not enough to help Zhao Cong turn defeat into victory. They could only add more military merits to the Qin army!
Zhao Cong suddenly asked: "How long will it take for the defenders of Yuanbaoshan to arrive at the battlefield?"
Sima Shang quickly replied: "It will take about six hours."
"Commander!"
"The enemy is right in front of us. What should our army do? Please tell me immediately, commander!"
In the distance, Ying Chengyu's troops were already driving the broken troops of Hu Qiong's troops towards the middle army of Zhao army.
Sima Shang’s troops are the only ones standing in front of Zhao’s army!
Seeing that Zhao Cong delayed in issuing the order, but instead started the long examination again, the impatient Sima Shang could no longer care about his superiority in the army, and shouted: "Headquarters obeys the order!"< br>
"The crossbow soldiers came forward and fired three rounds!"
The sound of the crossbow strings exploding echoed through the battlefield, and the crossbow soldiers under Sima Shang sent out crossbow bolts all over the sky in the direction of Ying Chengyu.
Zhao Cong finally made up his mind and looked at Sima Shang with a serious face: "If I remember correctly, Captain Sima has been following Lord Wu'an for a long time?"
Sima Shang now wants to draw his sword and turn around. Cut off Zhao Cong’s head!
The enemy troops have rushed to the front of our army's formation and are about to attack our central army.
As a result, as the coach, instead of issuing any effective orders, you started chatting about everyday things?
How long will I follow Mr. Wu An, and what does it have to do with this battle! ! !
Sima Shang shouted again: "The shield soldiers come forward and protect behind the spear soldiers!"
"There are three layers of spear forest on the left and right wings!"
Under the command of Sima Shang , Sima Shang's troops turned into a hedgehog with thorns on three sides, and the crossbowmen in the middle were still spitting arrows outwards.
While completely giving up the ability to move, he also raised his defense power to the limit!
Zhao Cong asked again: "Captain Sima Shang, how old are you following Lord Wu An?!"
Sima Shang had no choice but to turn his head and said in a cold voice: "I have been under Lord Wu'an's command for twelve years!" If you want to eliminate dissidents, please ask the coach to solve the current difficulties first!”
In Sima Shang’s view, Zhao Cong’s insistence on asking Sima Shang how long he has followed Li Mu is obviously to suppress Li Mu’s cronies and eliminate dissidents in the army. So as to completely control this army.
Sima Shang understood Zhao Cong’s move.
Basically every general will do similar things when they first join the army.
But Sima Shang couldn't understand why Zhao Cong would do such a thing at such a critical moment!
Zhao Cong nodded slightly and said: "Since Captain Sima has been serving under Lord Wu'an for twelve years, he must be a close confidant of Lord Wu'an."
Sima Shang's face became colder and colder. : "Exactly!"
"The general is willing to die for Lord Wu'an!"
"If the commander is dissatisfied with the general, he can remonstrate with the king and order the general to return with Lord Wu'an. Handan City to question the crime! ”
After saying that, Sima Shang simply ignored Zhao Cong and focused on the current battle situation.
But what Sima Shan did not expect was that Zhao Cong actually showed a smile of relief and said seriously: "In that case, I am relieved!"
"Pass this order to me! "Allocate 50,000 soldiers and horses to the command of the captain Sima Shang, and then order the surrounding ambushes and the garrison of Yuanbaoshan to join the command of the captain Sima Shang."
"Order the commander. Sima Shang immediately led his army eastward! ”
Sima Shang suddenly turned to look at Zhao Cong in disbelief: "Coach, what did you just say?!"
In the previous game, Sima Shang still suspected that Zhao Cong wanted to eliminate dissidents and suppress him.
As a result, Zhao Cong actually wanted to allocate half of the army to Sima Shang, and even handed over all 30,000 ambushes and 20,000 Yuan Baoshan defenders to Sima Shang!
If the troops are divided like this, who is the coach, Zhao Cong or Sima Shang? !
Zhao Cong looked at Sima Shang, his eyes full of sincerity: "I just gave the order."
"Deploy 50,000 soldiers and horses from our army, together with the surrounding ambushes and the defenders of Yuanbaoshan, and merge them under the command of Captain Sima."
"Order Captain Sima to advance eastward again!"
< br>Sima Shang was beyond words to express his astonishment. He raised his hands helplessly and cautiously and said: "Qin Changan Jun is leading a heavy army to attack our army."
"The commander ordered the last general to lead the main force to march eastward? "
"What does the coach want to do? Please tell me clearly!"
Is this a conspiracy?
This must be a conspiracy!
Zhao Cong turned his eyes to the big banner that was slowly but firmly moving towards him, and said softly: "I know that I am unable to resist Qin Changanjun."
"Original Ben The general wanted to use Lord Wu'an's power to delay him until he returned to the army."
"But now I know that I have overestimated my ability."
With a soft sigh, Zhao Cong took out the tiger charm that had not been warmed by him from his arms.
After stroking it carefully, Zhao Cong handed out the tiger talisman with both hands and said seriously: "Count the time, Mr. Wu An has not gone far yet."
"Please lead Captain Sima. The main force of our army immediately marched eastward to find Lord Wu An, and asked Lord Wu An to take charge of the tiger talisman immediately and order our army!"
Looking at the tiger talisman handed over by Zhao Cong, Sima Shang was stunned.
Not daring to pick up the tiger talisman, Sima Shang looked at Zhao Cong in a daze and said: "If the coach really has this intention, the coach can personally lead his army eastward and return the tiger talisman to Lord Wu'an."
< br>
"There is no need to entrust such an important weapon to the last general!"
Zhao Cong laughed and shook his head: "You are fighting against the Han and only focus on the battle?"
"If this general dies in battle, then There is no general in the army, even if Lord Wu An is guilty, he still has reason to wield the tiger talisman."
"As long as Lord Wu An can turn defeat into victory, there is nothing even the king can do against Lord Wu An!"
"But if that's the case! Even if I return the tiger talisman to Lord Wu An willingly before I die, Lord Wu An will definitely be charged with disobedience.”
"In this case, even if Lord Wu An was not guilty originally, he is now guilty!"
Sima Shang's pupils suddenly shrank: "Coach, you..."
Zhao Cong raised his head and looked around, He smiled casually: "This place is a treasure trove of bones."
"It's a pity that spring has just arrived and the vegetation is still budding, but not lush and green!"
Sima Shang finally understood what Zhao Cong meant. idea.
Knowing that he was unable to fight against Ying Chengyu, Zhao Cong chose to use his death in exchange for Li Mu to regain control of the army!
This is abdication at the cost of life!
Sima Shang’s resistance to Zhao Cong disappeared in an instant, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "The last general is willing to cut off the queen for the commander!"
"Although the last general does not know what is going on in the court, the last general thinks, We are all fighting for Zhao, and the king will definitely understand our loyalty, and we will find a way!"
Zhao Cong patted Sima Shang on the shoulder and laughed softly: "One shot will lead to victory! The flag is not enough to keep our soldiers from fighting to the death.”
"Only the great banner is here to keep our army intact!"
"Captain Sima, don't let down the general's expectations and the trust of Lord Wu An!"
Zhao Cong knew very well that Zhao Jun's morale had fallen to the bottom.
The reason why it hasn’t collapsed yet is because the Great Ban is still there.
Once Zhao Cong escapes eastward, even if Sima Shang tries his best to suppress it, the remaining Zhao army will surely collapse quickly!
If the Zhao army collapses quickly after the break, the Qin army will inevitably pursue them one after another. Even if Li Mu regains control of the army, he will not have time to organize the army, and what will be left to Zhao in the end is still a huge defeat.
At this moment, the only person who can take on the task of cutting off the aftermath is Zhao Cong!
Taking the spear from the soldier, Zhao Cong shouted: "The Chinese army listens to the order!"
"Divide into three parts: left, center and right!"
< br>"The left and right units form a square formation to resist the enemy!"
"The crossbowmen in the central part obey the order and target the enemy's army."
"The crossbow arrows are scattered!"
"The command is sent to the command of Captain Huang Gao to withdraw his troops and pursue Lord Chang'an of Qin. The rear of the headquarters!"
"Send the order..."
Under Zhao Cong's order, Zhao Jun was quickly adjusted into the standard enemy formation in the military manual.
Riding his horse to the front of the middle, Zhao Cong raised his spear high and roared to the whole army:
"I am a descendant of the great Zhao clan and the commander-in-chief of this army, General Cong!"
"Everyone!" Soldiers, fight to the death! "
"Don't retreat! "
I can die!
Zhao cannot be destroyed!
