Chapter 486 General, You Don’t Want to Be Recorded in History, Right?

Meng Wu's mentality is very stable.

Although the Mengwu Division retained a certain amount of combat power after dividing and joining forces, the Zhao army's combat effectiveness became weaker and weaker after two tail-cutting escapes and fleeing all the way. The Mengwu Division already had the combat effectiveness to engage in a decisive battle with the Zhao army.

However, Mengwu did not pursue a decisive battle, nor did he arrange ambushes to intercept or pursue surprise attacks 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, so as not to let Fu Dai notice the strength of the Qin army, so Fu Dai always maintained a sense of the unknown. of fear!

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 earthen wall came into view, Fu Dai and Yan Ju stopped in unison, their eyes full of despair!

Fu Da's voice was trembling: "Neihuang City is trapped, Yanghu City is trapped!"

"Lieren City is trapped, that is, Pei City is trapped, and Ge Ni City is 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 its 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 move to Peicheng, then to Genie 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 Da's voice was full of despair and self-blame: "Even if the Qin army has an army of 140,000, it has to besiege seven cities at the same time. Each city can only have 20,000 troops at most!"

"The Qin army outside Inner Yellow City is not as large as I imagined!"

"If I had not fled but fought to the death with Qin, I would have won!"

"This general has fallen into a deep trap!"

"General, you have mistaken me, Zhao Shen!!!"

Fu Da couldn't 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 breaks through the encirclement of Neihuang City 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 each city was waiting for the rain. After escaping, they also thought about changing cities to garrison without intending to fight Qin.

Perhaps it was because Ying Chengyu had an army of 140,000 that he dared to take such a 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.

After falling into the trap one after another, failing to complete the order, and being defeated like this, Fu Dai has no face to live in this world!

Upon 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 has just deceived our army into not investigating!"

"Since the general has defeated the Qin army, why don't our troops return to fight back?"

Fu Ding said bleakly: "It's too late."

"Even if you are pretending to be a large army, you still need a certain amount of troops, and you can't do it without any root."

"Inner Yellow City is our army's only chance."

"As our army moves through the cities, the originally scattered forces of the Qin army are constantly joining forces, and now our army is no longer strong enough to defeat them!"

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 have to be directed at Yan Ju?

Yan Ju pressed Fu Da's hand harder and said solemnly: "General! Who in the world can resist Qin Chang'an Lord?"

"Even if I ask Mr. Wu An to move to another place, Mr. Wu An can only say nothing!"

"The enemy general was fierce and the enemy army was powerful, but our army finally blocked the enemy for half a month, which bought Handan City time to recruit troops and reorganize the army. I don't think the king will blame the general."

"Now that Feicheng is trapped, the Qin army may have arrived at Handan City, but Handan City does not know the situation of our army!"

Fu Dui used all his strength to seize the sword.

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 Da's fingers holding the sword hilt stiffened.

Many generals were defeated by Ying Chengyu. Ying Chengyu was still very young and there would 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!

Shaking Yan Ju's hand away, Fu Ding shouted in a deep voice: "How can I kill myself? Don't disturb the morale of the army!"

Yan Ju breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over his hand: "I will make a mistake!"

Fu Da looked at the Qin army running from Feicheng and ordered in a deep voice: "Go south to avoid the battle and return to Handan City at full speed to aid!"

Seeing Fu Da's troops speeding around to the west from a distance, Meng Wu smiled and said: "Call to the commander, this Zhao army is about to arrive at Handan City."

"Call the entire army to speed up and prepare for the decisive battle!"

…

at the same time.

Handan City.

"Go first! Go first!"

"Qin Gou, suffer death!"

"Bozes, stay tight and wait for reinforcements. As long as we hold on to this place, our troops will be the first to get there...ah!"

Handan City was surrounded by shouts of death and cries.

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 coalition 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 Lord is well-deserved!"

Although Ying Chengyu seemed to have only allowed 8,000 Qin troops to go deep into the Qi army to serve as grassroots generals such as commanders and station commanders, thus infecting and controlling more than 70,000 Qi troops.

But Ying Chengyu’s overwhelming identity and reputation, his large number of elite troops, his lobbying ability to negotiate with the Qi State to reward the Qi army, and his decisiveness to make decisions in the face of battle even when he is away on an expedition... If one of these is missing, None of them can achieve the same effect as Ying Chengyu, and 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 scroll 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 Qin Chang'an, but also the fault of my Zhao general Fu Di!"

"The king is benevolent and only orders Fu Da to lead his troops to block the enemy at the front line of Neihuang City for two months, and then he can retreat to Feicheng and join the defenders of Handan City to resist the Qin army."

"But what's the result?"

"Leading nearly 20,000 elite troops, we defended the Neihuang cities, but we only held off the enemy for a few days. We don't know where we are now!"

"Even people with pig heads and wolf brains can't be so stupid and incompetent!"

"He actually made the main force of the Qin army march straight in, taking advantage of our unpreparedness to attack Handan!"

"If it hadn't been for the king's prompt decision and wise and mighty spirit, Handan would have been in danger!"

"It was precisely because of the crisis that night that the Qi army mistakenly believed that there was hope for victory in this battle, so they fought desperately!"

"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 imagined that Ying Chengyu only stayed in Inihuang City for seven days before moving all the way westward. Along the way, he divided his troops and trapped the city, but he did not slow down Ying Chengyu's marching speed. He even stopped the march of Ying Chengyu's troops because of the reduction in troops. Speed ​​increases 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, instead of thinking 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 Da sent a military report, Handan City would not have almost fallen.

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 Dai could come back in time, otherwise I will~ cough cough~ cough~"

Guo Kai hurriedly put a golden elixir into Zhao Wangyan's mouth, and gently patted Zhao Wangyan on the back: "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 while, Zhao Wangyan 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."

"Once there is a critical matter, I can make an immediate decision."

Zhao Wangyan's illness became more and more serious, and he also wanted to return to the palace to rest.

But the precedent of Helv City's fall is right in front of us.

Zhao Wangyan had 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: "My lord, you must not be so generous to yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly echoed through the city wall.

"Reinforcements? Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"It's General Fu Da! General Fu Da has led his army to come back for reinforcements! We are saved!"

Zhao Wangyan's eyes lit up, he threw Guo Kai away 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 was difficult to see the details from a distance, the red and green flags clearly indicated the identity of this army.

They are soldiers of Zhao State!

King Zhao Yan laughed heartily and shouted loudly: "Order, all the chariots should be allocated to Wu Xiangjun's department."

"Instruct Wu Xiangjun to lead the main force to hoard at the east city gate, ready to leave the city at any time to break the formation and recruit reinforcements into the city!"

"Inform the entire army that reinforcements have arrived!"

"Bang the drum! Prepare to counterattack!"
