Chapter 921
"Report-"

Qi County.

At this time, Qingji had already received the information that Qi, Song, Lu, Wei, and Yan were planning to join forces to rescue Zhao. When he was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly a junior came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the scouts are here to report that the Zhao army from Changping is coming towards Qi County. It must be the main force of the Zhao army! It is only thirty miles away from Qi County!"

"Command, beat drums and gather troops!"

"promise!"

It is not too late.

Qingji could guess that the Zhao army in Changping must have chosen to take the risk to break through when they were running out of food and grass and were isolated and helpless.

There is no doubt that the direction of Zhao Jun's retreat is Jinyang.

The only way for Zhao Jun to pass is Qi County.

It is true that Wu Jun has experienced repeated battles and was exhausted, but why not Zhao Jun?

Zhao Jun, who traveled long distances, may not be much better than Wu Jun in terms of physical strength.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the dull and murderous sound of war drums.

Inside and outside Qixian County, no matter what they were doing, the generals and soldiers of the Wu Army gathered together to form several square formations, waiting for Qingji to give orders.

Due to the haste of the incident, Qingji had no time to think about countermeasures.

However, Qingji could guess that Zhao Jun's desperate move must be at the end of his rope.

In order to completely defeat or even annihilate the main force of the Zhao army, Qingji had to consider blocking the Zhao army first, and then annihilating them in one fell swoop after Wu Zixu led the main force of the Wu army.

"Wu Zhang."

"My son is here!"

"I order you to lead ten thousand steps and rush to Banshan. Be sure to stop Zhao Jun, the longer the better!"

"promise!"

"Xumen Nest."

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to lead [-] steps and rush to Baiwuling. Be sure to stop Zhao Jun, the longer the better!"

"promise!"

After Prince Zhang and Xu Menchao took the order to leave, Qingji looked around again, looked at the generals of the Wu army present, and waved his hand: "The rest of the troops will follow the widow to the field of Fenshui. If there are any fleeing Zhao troops, Shoot them all, or drive them into the river!"

"promise!"

This is a war of resistance, not annihilation.

Due to the haste of the incident, Wu Jun had no time to build a camp in Qi County to stop him, so he could only stop Zhao Jun by annihilation.

When Wu Zixu led his troops to arrive, Zhao Jun, who had been wrapped in dumplings, would definitely be wiped out.

……

"kill!"

After a day and night of fierce fighting, part of the Zhao army broke out of the encirclement from Qi County, but more soldiers of the Zhao army stayed here.

When Wu Zixu led the army to arrive, Zhao Jun, who was under the enemy's belly and back, and was in a state of hunger, was finally unable to resist and was wiped out one by one.

Either surrender or die.

There are very few Zhao soldiers who can really escape.

In this battle, Wu Jun beheaded 2 people and captured more than [-] people. This does not include Zhao Jun who was killed in Changping before.

Zhao Wuxie broke out of the siege in embarrassment, and when he fled back to Jinyang City, there were only a thousand cavalry around him.

The remaining soldiers of the Zhao army were either beheaded by the Wu army, captured, or disappeared without a trace.

Qingji secretly calculated that since the war between Wu and Zhao, so far, in the wars that broke out in Changping and Qi counties for more than three months, the Wu army beheaded a total of 14 Zhao troops (not counting the Zhongshan army) and captured 3. people.

Such a tragic war was really beyond Qingji's expectation.

On Wu Jun's side, casualties were also very heavy.

Disregarding the casualties, the Wu army killed as many as 6 soldiers.

This shocking casualty data made Qingji feel a little uncomfortable looking at it.

This is not a game. In the game, soldiers can be resurrected after death.

After this battle, Zhao Guo has been completely disabled, even worse than Han Wei.

"Soldiers are dispatched to Jinyang City!"

After the Battle of Qi County, Qingji issued an order to attack Jinyang City, without even giving Wu Jun any chance to rest and breathe.

Just like the Changping battle between Qin and Zhao in history, all 45 horses in Zhao were killed, and more than half of Qin's army was lost.

At that time, Bai Qi suggested that King Zhaoxiang of Qin take advantage of a great victory to attack Handan and completely destroy the State of Zhao.

However, Xiangbang Fan Ju was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and thought that after Bai Qi destroyed Zhao, he would be more credited than himself, so he advised King Qin Zhaoxiang to negotiate peace with Zhao and stop marching troops.

So Qin State missed the opportunity to destroy Zhao.

When King Qin Zhaoxiang came to his senses and ordered to attack Handan again, Bai Qi refused to follow his orders and was eventually given to death. Qin also suffered the failure of the Battle of Handan...

Of course, it is undeniable that King Qin Zhaoxiang, as a hero of the generation, had a great talent and great strategy. At that time, he considered that the Qin State might not be sustainable, and the other countries were still eyeing each other, so he did not dare to send troops to attack Handan immediately.

Now if it is Qingji, there is no such concern.

He already knew that Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan were organizing coalition forces and planned to send troops together to rescue Zhao.

But so what?

If they dare to come, Qingji can beat them together!
……

The capital of Zhao State, Jinyang.

At this moment, there was a complete silence in the political hall.

Deathly silence.

The monarchs and ministers of Zhao State are all gloomy and gloomy!
Even Zhao Yang, who was sitting on the majesty's platform, could do nothing.

Zhao Yang's resourceful ministers also fell silent.

Zhao Wuxie gritted his teeth and came out and said: "Father, my son heard that the five kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan are going to send troops to rescue Zhao, and they will meet at Chaoge."

"If I, Zhao Guo, can hold on to Jinyang City for a month, I will surely be able to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then turn defeat into victory."

"Worst of all, King Wu Qingji lost his courage and dared not go to war with other countries. He would also choose to make peace with Zhao Guo and settle things down..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang shook his head and said, "Wu Shi, you don't have to comfort the widow."

"At this point, the fall of Jinyang City is a foregone conclusion."

"One hundred thousand Wu troops besieged Jinyang City, but in our city, there are no more than five thousand soldiers to fight. Even if it is temporarily recruited to defend the city, what's the benefit?"

"The young and strong common people all died in battle or were captured by the Wu army, and the rest are old and weak, women and children."

"For Jinyang City, Wu Jun can go down with one blow, how can our country, Zhao, stick to the saying that the capital of the country is January?"

"..."

Zhao Wuxie was silent.

Even Zhao Yang is powerless, so depressed, is Zhao Guo really going to perish?

At this time, Xiangbangyou came out without shirt and said: "My lord, I think that since we can't resist, our country of Zhao should send someone to ask the king of Wu for peace. No matter how harsh the king of Wu asks, our country of Zhao should agree to it!"

"If the country can survive, there is still hope. If the Zhao country is destroyed, everything will be wiped out!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yang sighed faintly, and said, "If the people of Wu can accept my Zhao Kingdom's peace proposal, why are we here?"

"Perhaps, at the beginning, Wu Guo just wanted to weaken Zhao Guo, just like Han Wei and Han Wei before."

"However, in the successive battles between Changping and Qixian, my country of Zhao has already withered soldiers and is unbearable for a single battle. As far as Division Wu is concerned, it can be destroyed with a flick of a finger."
