Chapter 755 Guo Kai's Choice! Another Battle in Handan City, This Battle Will Be the Decisive One!

The bloody setting sun set over the mountains, and darkness enveloped Handan.

But the 250-man army, Zhao Yang, did not dare to slack off.

"Raise the fire!" Zhao Yang kept shouting, "The whole army must march quickly, and no one is allowed to slow down!"

"If any soldiers fall behind, they will be ordered to return to Handan on their own, and no one is allowed to wait!"

"Quick! Faster!"

"Only by returning to Handan can we survive!"

As one of the more than 5,000 Zhao soldiers who had the good fortune to 'escape' from the Gushan battlefield, Zhao Yang knew very well what kind of despair his comrades behind him were experiencing!

In order to quickly return to Handan City to seek reinforcements, and to avoid being caught up by those killers, Zhao Yang, despite the fact that it was already dark, still ordered his soldiers to hold torches high and march at full speed!

After an unknown number of comrades fell behind, a sky illuminated by the flames finally appeared in front of Zhao Yang.

It was the Xiaobei City where the fire had not yet been extinguished!

Zhao Yang looked back and saw no pursuers. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and led five of his trusted men out of the crowd and rode to the city gate.

Holding the token, Zhao Yang shouted loudly: "Zhao Yang, the 2500th Lord, wants to see the Prime Minister!"

"My troops have urgent military information to report!"

"Please open the city gate quickly!"

Although it was late, no one in Handan City was asleep.

All the homeless ministers gathered near the city gate tower and rushed to the city wall when they heard Zhao Yang's call.

Guo Kai and Zhao Wangqian, who were discussing how to guard against Zhao Yi, also quickly walked out of the city gate tower when they heard the call and saw Zhao Yang, whose armor was crooked and dusty.

Guo Kai had a bad premonition in his heart and said solemnly: "The Prime Minister is here."

"If there is a military report, it can be sent into the city by a hanging basket."

Except for urgent military reports, this is the normal process of delivering military reports at night.

But where did Zhao Yang get the paper and pen?

Zhao Yang could only bow his hands and shouted anxiously: "Prime Minister!"

"The military situation is urgent, there is no time to write!"

"After our army chased the enemy into Gushan Pass, we found that Qin General Jian had already led his troops to ambush there!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun was not defeated, but just pretended to be defeated to lure the enemy deeper!"

"When our army realized it, the entire army had been trapped in Gushan Pass, and only thousands of comrades like me escaped!"

There was an uproar on the city wall: "How could Qin General Jian ambush in Gushan!"

"If Qin General Jian ambushed in Gushan, then Wuxiang Jun..."

Wang Jian ambushed in Gushan, which means that the previous victory that made them excited was fake.

It also means that the superiority and disadvantage of the troops of Qin and Zhao in the Handan battlefield has been reversed.

It also means that Le Cheng's troops have been defeated miserably, and the 100,000 Zhao troops may have been annihilated!

The pleasure of successful revenge is gone.

The news of the defeat in the two battlefields was revealed at the same time, making all the officials of Zhao feel extremely heavy!

Siguo Zhao Wuya couldn't help but ask loudly: "Does Chunping Jun have a countermeasure?!"

Other officials of Zhao also subconsciously cast their eyes on Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yi's heroic figure of defeating the Qin army outside Handan City was still lingering in their minds.

They couldn't help but imagine that Zhao Yi might have a way...

Zhao Yang said bitterly: "Chunping Jun was killed by Qin Chang'an Jun in the battle after only half a minute!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun even hung Chunping Jun's head high to persuade our army to surrender!"

"Now our army is under the command of Sikou, and is marching towards Gushan, trying to break through the Qin army camp in Gushan and escape!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Wuya's body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

Hurrying to grab the battlements of the city wall, Zhao Wuya's face turned pale and he murmured: "Chunping Jun died in battle?"

"The army is trapped, the commander died in battle, our army... our army..."

Zhao Wuya couldn't bear to say the following words.

Although the ministers present were not famous generals, they knew a little about military strategy. They also knew how much of a blow the death of a general would be to an army.

And now, with Chunping Jun dead, the army is still besieged by the enemy?

Many Zhao officials vaguely remembered the Battle of Changping!

No!

The current situation is more dangerous than the Battle of Changping in the past.

Even during the Battle of Changping, the main force of the Qin army never approached Handan City, and Handan City would not have only 30,000 defenders!

Zhao Wangqian's eyes were also a little absent-minded: "Chunping Jun, died in battle?"

Zhao Wangqian was just discussing with Guo Kai how to deal with Zhao Yi's threat to Zhao Wangqian's throne with his triumphant victory.

As a result, Zhao Yi died on the battlefield before Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai could come to a conclusion!

However, Zhao Wangqian did not feel any relief or happiness.

He only felt cold all over!

Seeing Zhao Wangqian in a trance and his ministers weeping on their official robes, Sima Shang shouted angrily: "Why are you all like this!"

"Don't say that Chunping Jun was defeated, even if all the troops outside the city fell, my Handan City still has 30,000 elite soldiers!"

"With the solid defense of my Handan City, the Qin army may destroy my Handan, but it cannot destroy my Handan."

"We will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements from various cities to protect my great Zhao country!"

Sima Shang's angry shouting woke Guo Kai up, and Guo Kai also took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "Second... All three of them are the backbone of our Great Zhao. How can they be so depressed because of a defeat! "

"Come on, everyone, cheer up!"

"Handan City has not fallen yet! Reinforcements from various cities are coming!"

"Our Great Zhao will win!"

Under the continuous shouting of Sima Shang and Guo Kai, the officials of Zhao State also suppressed their fear and shouted in unison:

"Great Zhao will win!"

Guo Kai faced Sima Shang and bowed loudly: "This is shallow and wrongly trusted mediocre people."

"The defeat of Chunping Jun's troops is all my fault."

"General Sima is the great military strategist!"

"In this battle for city defense, General Lao Sima will be there!"

Sima Shang was stunned.

Shouldn't Guo Kai be a traitor?

It should be this person who framed Mr. Wu An!

But why does this person trust this general so much?

Is there any fraud in it? !

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wangqian also bowed his hands to Sima Shang: "I would like to thank General Sima!"

Seeing the little Zhao Wangqian bowing and handing over his hand, Sima Shang's blood immediately rushed to his brain and he shouted solemnly: "The last general will live up to his command!"

Turning to look at the deep night outside the city, Sima Shang said in a deep voice: "The Qin army will never let go of the opportunity to attack the city with victory."

"Pass this general's order!"

"The doctor ordered Guo Chang to immediately protect the king and return to the West King's City, and ordered the guards to climb the walls of the West King's City to guard everywhere."

"Captain Ma Fuchao transferred to the north gate of Dabei City, Captain Xingxiu's headquarters transferred to the east gate of East King City, Captain..."

"No matter what happens, no matter who calls the door, you are not allowed to open the city gate. You must guard the city wall!"

All the generals raised their hands in unison: "Wei!"

Only Zhao Yuan outside the city shouted anxiously: "General, where is my subordinate?"

"General, please open the city gate first to allow my subordinates to enter the city!"

Several generals couldn't help but said: "General Sima, the Qin army hasn't caught up yet, so you can open the door first and let me, the military commander, enter the city to rest."

"Yes, these robes have been fighting for a whole day today and have been running back and forth for nearly forty miles. They must be extremely tired and in urgent need of rest!"

"The general thought that he could throw a hanging basket and pull all the people outside the city back into the city. In this way, there would be no chaos when the Qin army stole the city."

However, Sima Shang just said in a cold voice: "Temporarily promote Zhao Yuan, the 2500-year-old master, to the rank of captain, and gather all our military robes outside the city."

"Order Captain Zhao Yang to lead his troops to rest and recuperate next to the West King's City. There must be no mistake!"

Zhao Yuan was stunned.

How can they, who are already tired, continue to undertake the task of fighting outside the city!

But Zhao Yuan also deeply remembered why Wu'an City fell. Even though he was helpless, he could only give up: "Wei!"

Sima Shang tried his best to make comprehensive arrangements.

Zhao's courtiers and generals also rushed back and forth, doing their best to resist the powerful enemy.

But Guo's heart was full of heaviness.

Can Da Zhao really win this battle?

Even if Qin can be stopped in this battle, what about the future?

After this battle, the Zhao State is bound to collapse.

On the other hand, Qin is prospering, and one day Qin will destroy Zhao.

After today, his status as the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao will surely decrease day by day!

If you don’t make a decision, I’m afraid it will be too late!

Taking advantage of Sima Shang's opportunity to attract the attention of the audience, Guo Kai took a few steps back, stood side by side with Guo Chang, and lowered his voice and whispered urgently: "After the king of guards returns to the palace, he will order his close associates to protect the king personally, and you will go to find the traveler from Qin. "

"Tell the travelers of Qin that the position of superior minister is the position of superior minister!"

"The prime minister agreed to Qin's conditions."

"Exactly how the Qin State wants to cooperate with the truth, Qin Xingren please tell me as soon as possible!"

The deep night hides countless conspiracies and calculations.

It also hid troops and horses.

Five miles southwest of Handan City.

With no torches around him, Ying Chengyu hid in the night, looking at the burning Xiaobeicheng.

Seeing that the gates of Xiaobeicheng had not been opened for a long time, and that the defeated Zhao troops had not returned to Handan City but were stationed on the spot to rest, Ying Chengyu said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that one strategy cannot be used twice! "

If you can attack by surprise, who will fight hard?

Among the scattered defeated troops outside Handan City, there were many Qin troops wearing Zhao army armor, waiting for Handan City to open its gates!

Qiang Huai said with a smile: "It is true that one strategy cannot be used twice, but the commander's one strategy forced the Zhao army to dare not let the defeated troops return to the city. The Zhao army was already defeated first!"

Ying Chengyu did not answer, but solemnly said: "If a surprise attack fails, the only way is to attack by force."

"Captain Su Jiao! Commander Peng Yue! Guafu!"

The three of them stepped forward together and raised their hands: "The general is here!"

Ying Chengyu turned to the three of them and said seriously: "Thank you!"

Su Jiao and the other three cheered excitedly: "I am willing to die for the commander!"

Ying Chengyu looked at Handan City again and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Lieutenant Yue Xun to attack Xiwang City!"

"Send the order to Captain Qiang Huai to attack Dongwang City!"

"Send an order to Captain Xiao Tu to attack Xiao Beicheng!"

"Send an order to Captain Meng Nan to attack Dabeicheng!"

"Captain Xiao Tu and Commander Wang Qun are stationed in the southeast of Dongwang City, waiting for orders to prepare for war!"

"Bang the drum!"

"March!"

All the generals raised their hands: "Wei!"

"Dong dong dong~dong dong~"

Drums blasted.

The fire appears.

All units of the Qin army no longer hid, they all lit torches and rushed towards various strategic locations, and then came from all directions.

Hit Handan!

Sima Shang couldn't help but walk to the edge of the city wall, looked at the Qin troops coming from all directions, and shouted solemnly:

"Send orders to all ministries, this battle is the decisive battle!"

"There is no need to begrudge the city defense weapons, stick to the city wall at all costs!"
