Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 920 The Grasshopper After Autumn

At this time, Qing Ji climbed Shi and looked at it, seeing its chaos and flags, he still hesitated in his heart.

It was indeed a sign of defeat.

The soldiers of Zhao Jun and the Zhongshan Army dropped their helmets and armor, and only cared about running away, without any thought of fighting back.

Xu Menchao on the side followed and said: "Your Majesty, I think what General Zhan Ru said is very true."

"The opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come again. Now the enemy army is fleeing, if they can capture and kill Zhao Jun, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack Jinyang, the Zhao country will be like a subjugated country!"

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji waved his hands and said, "Ming Jin, withdraw troops."

"Your Majesty, why is this so?"

"Don't chase after the poor. Zhao Yang is good at using soldiers, and he is as good as a widow when it comes to cunning and intrigue."

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said, "If the widow is him, he will definitely not be so stupid as to use Zhao Guo's last living strength to confront Wu Jun head-on."

The person who knows himself best is often his own enemy.

When the state of Zhao was at the end of its rope, shrinking the defense line and sticking to Jinyang City, waiting for the reinforcements from other countries to come to reinforce it, this was the best strategy Zhao Yang could use.

At such a time, how could Zhao Yang be impulsive?

Qingji hadn't thought of this before.

Now, looking at the enemy soldiers fleeing in a panic, Qing Ji could already guess a general idea in his mind.

It doesn't matter if Qingji's guess is wrong.

Anyway, Zhao Yang is already a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be able to jump for too long.

"Report-"

After a long time, a small school came to report on a flying horse in a hurry, saying: "My lord, something is wrong!"

"Mr. Zhang's army was ambushed by Zhao Jun in the Baiwuling area!"

Hearing this, Qingji looked around, looked at the Wu army generals behind him, and said, "Xumenchao, Zhanru."

"Chen is here!"

"You two immediately lead [-] soldiers and horses to Baiwuling to rescue Wu Zhang and the others!"

"promise!"

The cavalry led by Gong Zizhang pursued too quickly, so the previous order to celebrate Ji hadn't been delivered yet.

Now, the soldiers and horses of Gongzi Zhang's troops were ambushed, and Qingji could calmly dispatch troops to rescue them.

……

Changping.

Inside Zhao Jun's central army tent, Yin Duo, Zhao Wuxie and other generals all had serious expressions on their faces.

Gloomy!

Just now they got the news that the army led by Zhao Yang lost again in Qi County, suffered heavy losses, and had to withdraw to Jinyang City to rest.

The original reinforcements from the Zhongshan Kingdom were few and far between.

In a fit of anger, Mr. Zhongshan withdrew his soldiers and horses to rescue Zhao.

In other words, Qi County has been completely occupied by the Wu army.

At this time, the main force of the Zhao army on the Changping front could no longer get supplies from Jinyang.

The interruption of the food road means that Zhao Jun is not far from the day when he will be defeated.

"Grand Sima, the army is running out of food and grass, and people are panicking. The soldiers have to kill horses to satisfy their hunger."

Zhao Wuxie sighed and said, "The supplies from Jinyang can no longer be counted on."

"Wu Manzi changed his previous posture and chose to confront our army instead of attacking the camp. He clearly wanted to consume my Zhao army."

"I think we must not wait like this. If we wait until all the horses are killed and eaten, and the grass roots and bark are gone, the soldiers will inevitably flee in large numbers and be defeated."

"Since that's the case, why didn't the army launch a counterattack and fight Wu Manzi?"

Hearing this, Yin Duo gave a wry smile, and said, "Fight? Young Master, forgive me, what can I, Zhao Jun, do to fight Wu Jun?"

"If you fight with your life, you may not be able to beat Wu Jun."

"It is true that the Wu army does not have a great advantage in terms of military strength. But they have enough soldiers and food, and they are waiting for our army to launch a counterattack, so as to mobilize the whole army to respond and strike later."

"So, to take the initiative to fight, for me, Zhao Jun, the odds of winning are too small..."

Zhao Wuxie gritted his teeth and said, "Traveling in Changping is tantamount to taking death."

"Fight against Wu Manzi, fight with your life, maybe you can put yourself to death and survive, and win an unexpected victory."

Yin Duo was lost in thought.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Yin Duo was clearly aware of it.

In a frontal battle, Zhao Jun was no match for Wu Jun at all.

Not to mention that the leader of the Wu army on the opposite side is the well-known and scheming Wu Zixu. The sharp weapons and equipment of the Wu army under his command and the strength of the combat power are not comparable to Zhao Jun.

This is why Zhao Jun chose to build fortifications at the beginning of the war and after losing several battles.

Playing with Wu Jun?
That is clearly courting death.

At least, Yin Duo couldn't see how much chance Zhao Jun could win.

"It's really inappropriate to be trapped in Changping now."

After pondering for a moment, Yin Duo said, "For the present plan, our army can only break through."

"Where to break out?"

"Jinyang, or Handan."

"Handan is not desirable."

Zhao Wuxie vetoed it without hesitation, saying: "Handan City has long been surrounded by Tian Rangju's troops, and my Zhao army cannot enter or exit there."

"It may be feasible to break through to Jinyang. Jinyang City has a lot of grain, and the city is high and deep, and the fortifications are very strong. It is most suitable to rely on Jinyang City to mediate with Wu Manzi."

Hearing this, Yin Duo smiled wryly, and said, "My lord, I'm telling you the truth. Now, no matter where our army chooses to break through, it will definitely encounter a big battle, and there is a danger of being attacked by the enemy."

"Here in Changping, as soon as the Zhao army moves, the Wu army will definitely move. Young master, you can lead the army north to Jinyang, break through as much as possible, and bring back as many troops as you can."

"Old man, for the sake of the young master, let's fight a bloody battle with the Wu army!"

"Big Sima..."

The expression on Zhao Wuxie's face was very complicated.

Zhao Wuxie is very clear about what it means to be broken.

I saw Yin Duo said meaningfully: "The monarch does not think that I, Yin Duo, are despicable and entrusts me with a heavy responsibility. I am grateful. Now is the time for me to repay the monarch for his kindness."

……

The next day, after some careful planning, Zhao Jun in Changping began to break through.

Zhao Wuxie led 8 people all the way north and returned to Jinyang, while Yin Duo led Zhao Jun with less than 3 people to take charge of the rear, and fought Wu Jun with his life.

When he saw the initiative to attack, Wu Zixu already realized that something was wrong.

"Not good, Zhao people want to withdraw!"

Holding the saber in his hand, Wu Zixu stood on the military chariot and issued orders.

"At all costs, kill all the Zhao troops standing in front of our army, leaving no one behind!"

"promise!"

Wu Zixu is a ruthless man who is good at fighting wars of annihilation.

At this time, beheading the enemy is undoubtedly more "cost-effective" than capturing the enemy.

"Kill me!"

Yin Duo brandished the spear in his hand, one man and one horse, and charged into the Wu army's phalanx at the head of the soldiers, and with the bravery of men, he broke a bloody path.

Zhao Jun's sharp warriors are also very powerful.

At the moment when their lives were most threatened, they broke out with extraordinary fighting power.

Basically, if two or three Zhao soldiers died, only one person would be killed on Wu Jun's side.

However, this still made Wu Zixu very distressed.

Zhao Jun is an elite teacher, why not Wu Jun?

"Fire arrows!"

"Shhhhhh!"

When Zhao Jun broke through to a narrow area, Wu Jun's crossbowmen, who had been ambushing on both sides of the mountain road for a long time, fired random arrows.

Immediately, densely packed crossbow arrows, like locusts crossing the border, quickly shot and killed hundreds of Zhao soldiers.

"Pfft!"

Yin Duo, who rushed to the front, had more than a dozen crossbow arrows inserted into various parts of his body, blood splattered everywhere.

Yin Duo lowered his head slowly, looked at the crossbow arrows on his body, finally gritted his teeth, and fell into a pool of blood unwillingly, dying of breath.
