Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 919
"Zhao Jun, I haven't seen you for many years, is Zhao Jun here safe?"

After Qingji and Zhao Yang saluted each other, they made a "please" gesture and asked Zhao Yang to sit opposite him at the table.

Then, Wei himself and Zhao Yang, who were still interested in Qingji, poured a bottle of fine wine.

"Don't worry about King Wu, I have always been very kind."

Zhao Yang just smiled lightly.

Zhao Yang's body is indeed quite strong.

At this time, Zhao Yang was nearly sixty years old, a few years older than Qingji.

In this era, it is not easy to live to such an age.

However, the repeated blows in recent years, when things went wrong, Zhao Yang was physically and mentally exhausted, and his health was already deteriorating.

"Zhao Jun, come, drink with me!"

"Please!"

Qingji and Zhao Yang raised the wine bottles in their hands, smiled at each other, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhao Yang had no doubt that Qingji would poison the wine.

Because, it's really not necessary.

And since ancient times, no one has ever done such a despicable and shameless thing.

With Qingji's identity and personality, he would definitely not do such a thing.

"Mr. Zhao, do you see the army behind the widow? They are all great Wu Jianer. As long as the widow gives an order, in an instant, the mob on your side can be turned into dust!"

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhao, why don't you take off your armor and surrender with courtesy?"

"The widow assures you that if you surrender, the widow will designate you as Marquis of Zhao and give food to five hundred households in the city. It will not be replaced by hereditary inheritance. You and your children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy rich food and clothing for a lifetime."

For Qing Ji's promise, Zhao Yang just laughed it off.

"King Wu, if you were to be imprisoned to death like pigs and dogs for the rest of your life, would you be willing?"

"..."

Qingji was silent.

As an arrogant person, how could Qingji tolerate such a situation?
It is true that it is better to live than to die.

However, without his freedom and living like a walking corpse, Zhao Yang would rather die.

"Zhao Jun, why are you here?"

Qing Ji continued to persuade: "Under the overturned nest, there will be no more eggs. If you choose to fight to the death, then most of Zhao Guo will shed the last drop of blood and fight to the last soldier."

"When the two countries go to war, people will inevitably die, blood will flow into rivers, and corpses will be scattered all over the field. You, Zhao Yang, choose to die in battle, so why do you have to drag hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Zhao Kingdom to be buried with you?"

"The widow will give you one last condition. If you can disarm and surrender, the widow will entitle you as Marquis of Zhao, with a thousand households in Jinyang, the city of food, and no successors by hereditary inheritance. Wouldn't it be beautiful to share the same ties with the country from now on?"

"Ha ha."

Zhao Yang still shook his head and said, "King Wu, I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me to surrender."

"If the State of Zhao is alive, then Zhao Yang will be here. If the State of Zhao is dead, then Zhao Yang will be dead!"

Good words can't persuade the damn ghost.

In order to reduce the number of casualties, Qingji originally held a little hope in his heart and wanted to persuade Zhao Yang to surrender.

However, it is obviously impossible for Zhao Yang to be subdued.

Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Qing Ji stood up slowly without further ado, saluted Zhao Yang at last, turned around and boarded the military chariot, and returned to Wu Jun's phalanx.

"Soldiers, sons of Great Wu!"

Standing on the military chariot, Qingji drew out the Longyuan sword from his waist, held the sword high, pointed at the enemy formation opposite, and shouted loudly: "Destroy Zhao, this is the battle!"

"Use the blood of the enemy to soak our robes!"

"Go to war—"

"kill!"

Following Qingji's order, the soldiers of the Wu army who had been ready to go immediately rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side like a flood that opened the gate.

They are at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

However, Zhao Jun on the opposite side is really vulnerable.

Zhao Guo's elite troops are all on the front lines of Changping and Handan, plus the soldiers and horses damaged in the previous battle of Qi County, the soldiers that Zhao Guo can produce now are all improvised miscellaneous troops...

Said it was a miscellaneous army, but it was a compliment to Zhao Jun.

It was not difficult for Qingji to see that the vast majority of Zhao Jun on the opposite side were old men with gray temples and youngsters who were still immature.

From the age of 60 to the age of thirteen or fourteen, all men participated in the war.

It is conceivable how critical Zhao Guo has become, and even such soldiers can be used.

What is even more surprising is that many soldiers of the Zhao army are holding inferior weapons, such as spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, all kinds of weapons are available.

Just ask, how can such a Zhao army carry out large-scale combat?
Isn't that cannon fodder?

"Boom!"

The ones rushing to the front were the iron cavalry of the Wu army. There were tens of thousands of iron cavalry, like a crimson wave, rushing towards the Zhao army's phalanx out of control.

"Attack!"

Zhao Yang also gave the order to attack.

Since the Zhao army had too few cavalry, thousands of cavalry from Zhongshan Kingdom rushed to the front.

The two cavalrymen collided, and they turned on their backs immediately, bleeding profusely.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

During the battle on the first day of the new year, Wu Jun's iron cavalry broke out with extremely terrifying combat effectiveness.

The Zhongshan cavalry, wearing various clothes and armors of different materials such as leather armor, rhinoceros armor, iron armor, and bronze armor, were killed by Wu Jun, with their heads rolling and blood flowing.

The shrill screams echoed over the wilderness for a long time.

In order to prevent the cavalry of the Zhongshan Army from collapsing too quickly, Zhao Yang had to lead the army to follow up and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Wu army.

However, the result was just as Qingji expected.

The vast majority are composed of old people and young people, and Zhao Jun soldiers with extremely poor weapons and equipment are vulnerable to a single blow.

The generals of the Wu army fought indomitably, just like cutting melons and vegetables, killing Zhao soldiers one after another.

Every time ten or more Zhao soldiers were killed, only one person would be killed on Wu Jun's side.

This is not to say that Wu Jun is an elite division.

In fact, the Wu army led by Qingji, except for the subjugated camp, the Huben army, the Yulin army directly commanded by him, and the more than 1 iron cavalry of Gongzizhang, which belonged to the elite division, the rest were from Wu. County soldiers recruited from various places.

The fighting power and weaponry of the local army is slightly inferior to that of the forbidden army and the frontier army, but it should not be underestimated either.

"Run away!"

"withdraw!"

"Come up!"

In less than half an hour, under Wu Jun's fierce offensive, Zhao Jun and Zhongshan Army collapsed across the board, bumping around and fleeing like headless chickens.

Even Zhao Yang fled in the direction of Jinyang in a panic under the protection of a group of generals and guards from the Zhao army.

Gongzizhang, who rushed to the front, had more and more fun killing, one man and one horse, as if entering the land of no one, killing Zhao Jun's generals and soldiers on their backs, and killing a large number of enemies.

The enemy army of about 8 people was defeated in less than half an hour?
Is Wu Jun too strong, or Zhao Jun and Zhongshan Jun too weak?

This made Qingji feel a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, order the entire army to attack!"

Zhan Ru, who was beside him, said in a bloody voice, as if he couldn't help but kill more enemies in order to gain military exploits.
