Chapter 741 The Last Commander of the Zhao State Died in Battle Here! Rushing to Attack Wu'an City!
The morning sun was rising, and the bright sunlight illuminated every detail of the corpse below.
Zhao Cong, who was holding a spear and shouting orders yesterday, was now armed with sixteen arrows, and his abdomen and heart were penetrated by a spear.
Maybe it was the two spears that were supporting him, or maybe it was the belief that he didn't want to fall.
Even though the blood in his body was almost dry, Zhao Cong still did not fall down. He just knelt down on one knee facing the direction of the Qin army's attack, still holding the pistol tightly in his right hand!
"Da da~ da~"
A war horse walked slowly in front of Zhao Cong. Every time the horse's hoof was raised, it would bring up sticky blood.
The knight dismounted, half-crouched in front of Zhao Cong, and raised Zhao Cong's head with his hands.
Looking at the last coach of the Zhao Kingdom in history, Ying Chengyu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Look for the coffin in Yangyi, collect the body of this general, and store it temporarily in the army."
After Sima Shang took away half of the Zhao army, the remaining Zhao army collapsed and began to flee on a large scale.
It was Zhao Cong who risked his life running back and forth to make more than 30,000 Zhao soldiers willing to stay here and fight to the death.
It was Zhao Cong who risked his life and led his own soldiers to resist the gaps in the defense line again and again, which allowed Zhao Jun here to persist until now, buying Sima Shang's troops six hours of escape time.
In terms of ability, Zhao Cong, the last coach of Zhao State, is far from being comparable to other coaches of Zhao State. Due to his lack of experience, Zhao Cong is not even qualified for the position of captain.
But in terms of heroism and loyalty, Zhao Cong is worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao clan!
Yafu suddenly raised his hand: "Yui!"
After taking another deep look at Zhao Cong for the last time, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Send a messenger to carry the Zhao army's banner to Fushan."
"Order the captain Wang Qun to hold the Zhao army's big banner to persuade the Zhao army in Fushan to surrender, and then lead the troops and horses of the headquarters and the Zhao army to surrender to guard Fukouxing."
"The rest of the troops immediately made food on the spot and cleaned the battlefield at the same time."
"An hour later, the army will march eastward to pursue Zhao Jun!"
Meng Tian couldn't help but said: "Coach, is it too hasty to pursue immediately?"
"Our soldiers have been fighting fiercely with Zhao Jun since yesterday morning, and it has been more than ten hours now."
"Last night, our soldiers stayed up all night."
"I would like to advise our general to take a rest first, so that we can continue to fight against the enemy!"
Ying Chengyu smiled, turned around and asked, "Do you agree?"
All the generals shouted: "No!"
Even some middle-level soldiers further away shouted excitedly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Meng Tian:? ? ?
The brutal fighting had lasted for at least ten hours.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even elite soldiers should be exhausted.
Military achievements are certainly impressive, but manpower is sometimes scarce!
As a result, they didn't want to rest?
Xi Feng laughed loudly and said: "In the past, when I followed the commander to attack Chu, I traveled thousands of miles across mountains and ridges to pursue the Chu army!"
"This place is only a few dozen miles away from Wu'an City."
"Why not take military glory that is so easy to obtain!"
When it comes to attacking and chasing, no one in the world can compare with the group of soldiers under Ying Chengyu.
The experience of chasing all the way from southwest China to southeast China was not just as simple as building dozens of cities for Great Qin!
Ying Chengyu also smiled and said: "I am already prepared."
"Generals, please rest assured and follow me to gain military merit!"
What else could Meng Tian say?
I can only say: "Wei!"
After just an hour's rest, the Qin army embarked on the pursuit again.
Thanks to their abundant hunting experience, although Sima Shang's troops were one step ahead, Ying Chengyu's troops saw Sima Shang's rear troops from a distance in the evening of the next day.
All the Qin troops are excited!
However, Ying Chengyu frowned slightly.
Just because according to the reports from the scouts, the direction of Wu'an City further away was calm, and Zhao Jun continued to march towards Wu'an City!
"The three Gua Fu tribes haven't arrived at Wu'an City yet?"
Ying Chengyu sketched out the route of the three Guafu Tribes in his mind, and after careful calculation, he murmured softly: "Calculating the time, it should take one to two days for the Guafu Tribes to reach Wu'an City."
The three Guafu tribes set out earlier, but the three Guafu tribes had to go around more than a hundred miles of mountain roads in the Taihang Mountains to leave the Taihang Mountains without being discovered by Zhao Jun.
Then they had to march day and night to avoid the scouts from Zhao's cities, and their marching speed was much slower than ordinary marching.
The time originally consumed by the three parts of Guafu is not worth mentioning in terms of the overall strategy.
However, Zhao Jun's rapid defeat caused Ying Chengyu's original plan to go bankrupt!
Since the attack, Meng Tian has always been worried in his heart. Now seeing Ying Chengyu with a serious look on his face, he immediately rode his horse and asked in a low voice: "Commander, can you order our army to camp on the spot to rest?"
Ying Chengyu was thinking in his heart.
If they camped on the spot to rest and recuperate, not only would the Qin army be able to rest, but they would also be able to wait for the arrival of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Guafu Division, making it more secure.
But at the same time, it will also give the Zhao army time to rest and recuperate, which will greatly weaken the Qin army's advantage from victory. It will inevitably fall into a siege battle and pay huge casualties to capture Wu'an City!
Looking at the scattered fleeing Zhao troops in front of him, Ying Chengyu pondered for a moment and then said solemnly: "It is said that General Ren You will be surrendered!"
Soon, Ren You was brought to Ying Chengyu by two soldiers.
Far away, Ren You exclaimed in surprise: "But is it in front of Mr. Chang'an?"
"Ren has heard for a long time that the Lord of Chang'an communicates with ghosts and gods, and understands the world."
"In this battle, Ren saw Lord Chang'an driving the earth dragon with his own eyes, and he was fascinated!"
"Now, Ren can finally meet Lord Chang'an!"
Faced with Ren You's deliberate compliment, Ying Chengyu also smiled: "I have heard of Captain Ren for a long time."
"This time Qin and Zhao are fighting, Captain Ren led his army to fight fiercely with our army at Hou'ao Mountain. He fought bravely and bravely. I am very happy to see him."
"I'm really lucky to see you today!"
Ren You's heart skipped a beat.
As the head coach of the Qin army, Ying Chengyu was so polite to his subordinate general.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
But Ren You could only show an increasingly flattering smile, cupped his hands and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Chang'an?"
"Confucius said: The bird chooses the wood, but how can the wood choose the bird?"
"Since King Zhao has been on the throne, he has been ignorant and ignorant, and has trusted villains."
"On the other hand, King Qin has been wise and courageous since he ascended the throne, and he has made great use of virtuous ministers."
"Ren has long been determined to serve in Qin!"
"If Mr. Chang'an likes to appoint someone, please please Mr. Chang'an not to call him "Captain" and just call him "Captain"!
Ying Chengqiao laughed loudly: "Good, good, good!"
"The king of Zhao is cold and weak, Zuo Shichulong worked hard for Zhao, and Lord Wu'an fought for Zhao in the south and north."
"In the end, one person died for no reason, and the other was taken back to Handan for questioning."
"Brother Zixiao, it is only human nature to have such thoughts!"
"Since Brother Zixiao doesn't want to worry about Zhao, then I will call him Brother Zixiao!"
Ren You sighed again in his heart.
This "brother" is not so pleasant!
Ren You was very discerning and immediately handed over his hand: "Ren entered Da Qin for the first time. He has no skills and it is difficult to gain a foothold."
"I wonder if Mr. Chang'an is useful enough to be appointed somewhere."
"If there is, then Ren is willing to go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Seeing Ren You's behavior, Ying Chengyu didn't mince words and nodded directly: "I do have a great contribution here."
"Only waiting for someone with both wisdom and courage to come and get it!"
"This order is not dangerous to Brother Zixiao."
"But once you achieve success, Brother Zixiao will get a great achievement!"
"Although it's not enough to make Brother Zixiao directly serve as our Great Qin Commandery, it can still get a few titles and save a lot of waste."
Ren You felt a pain in his heart, but his face became more and more excited and he handed over his hand again: "If Chang'an Lord will not give up, Ren is willing to accept this order!"
Ying Chengqiao laughed loudly: "Very good!"
"In that case, I would like to ask Brother Zixiao to put on his armor again and lead me in military robes to pretend to be the defeated Zhao army."
"Sneak into Wu'an City and seize its gates! Help our army capture its walls!"
Ren You sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, it is a fatal job!
But as long as I can enter Wu'an City, I can jump on the spot, even identify the Qin army, and help Paoze rush out of the city. In this way, I will definitely be able to eliminate my surrender...
Ying Chengyu continued to speak: "Send the order to Captain Qiang Huai."
"Take your elite troops to replace Zhao Jun's armor and follow Brother Zixiao!"
Qiang Huai excitedly raised his hands and said, "The last general will take your orders!"
Then Qiang Huai showed a bright smile to Ren You: "Zixiao, please be at ease!"
"When the city is being deceived, I will always be with Zi Xiao. If Zhao Jun notices it, I and his subordinates will risk their lives, and I will definitely be able to keep Zi Xiao safe and sound!"
Ren You:......
Are you sure you will risk your life to protect Ren when Zhao Jun is aware of it.
Instead of risking life and death and beheading Ren first?
Turning aside the big-eyed Qiang Huai and the Qin soldier behind Qiang Huai who was thirsty for killing and blood, Ren You solemnly handed over his hand: "As long as Ren can enter Wu'an City, Ren will definitely help Chang An Jun capture Wu'an City." Door!"
Situations are stronger than people.
From the moment Ren You surrendered on his own initiative, Ren You's life was no longer in his own hands.
Instead of risking being hacked to death by Qiang Huai and being suspected by Zhao Wangqian and returning to Zhao State, it would be better to take this opportunity to defect to the increasingly powerful Qin State!
Ren You, who was determined, quickly put on his armor with the help of his soldiers, and took the initiative to leave most of his soldiers behind. He led only five of his soldiers and merged with Qiang Huai's troops, and galloped towards Wu'an City on horseback.
From a distance, Ren You saw a group of Zhao soldiers gathered outside the west gate of Wu'an City, making endless noises.
"Every unit forms its own formation and follows the guidance to enter the city! Anyone who disturbs will be killed!"
"We are about to enter the city! Damn it! The Qin army is chasing from behind, why don't you let us enter the city!"
"Everyone holds the verification pass in hand and can quickly enter the city!"
"Where is the test report? Lost it while running away? Take him to jail and keep him under strict supervision!"
"This city cannot tolerate me waiting, why don't we go and rest!"
A large number of Zhao troops formed a formation outside the city gate and entered the city from various gates under the guidance of the Wu'an City defenders.
However, there were also many Zhao soldiers who were anxiously waiting to enter the city while looking back to the west anxiously. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore and continued to flee eastward.
Seeing this scene, Qiang Huai frowned slightly: "Wu'an City's verification is so strict?!"
"Only Lao Zixiao will be there next!"
Ren You smiled and nodded: "No problem!"
"Just let Ren come!"
The horse rushed forward and passed through the Zhao military formations without any scruples. Ren You held the military talisman and shouted loudly: "Captain Ren You is here!"
"Make way quickly!"
However, the city gate guards did not move Juma away. They just stood in front of Juma and said with cupped hands: "Meet Captain Ren."
"Respecting the order of Captain Sima, all soldiers must verify their identity before entering the city to prevent the Qin army from sneaking in!"
Ren You swung the whip in his hand directly at the city gate guard's face and shouted angrily: "Is this the order of Captain Sima?"
"I am also a captain, why should I respect the orders of Captain Sima!"
"Bah!"
"The commander died in battle, Captain Hu Qiong died in battle, and more than 70% of my subordinates died in battle before I escaped. However, Sima Shang retreated to Wu'an City in one piece, and even dared to command the army."
"Get out of my way quickly, I am going to question Sima Shang in person."
"How dare he steal the commander's power!"
