Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1660 The Death of Yuan Shao (Part 1)

Chapter 1658: Death of Yuan Shao (Part 1)

Su Lie and Li Jing each sent elite troops to pursue them, but the fleeing Zhao army divided into three groups. In the end, both groups were wiped out by the Qin army. Only Tantai Yu's group repelled the pursuers and escaped.

Although Tantai Yu escaped and escaped with more than 4,000 Zhao army elites, even if he returned to Bohai, it would no longer matter to the overall situation.

After Su Dingfang and Li Jing joined together, the total strength was as high as 130,000, but most of the troops in Bohai City were new soldiers, and most of the generals died in the Julu Battlefield. Today, Zhao State has almost no resistance.

 Therefore, Lian Po's plan to preserve the fire for Zhao, even at the expense of himself, has completely failed so far.

[Battle of Julu, Su Dingfang defeated Lian Po, commander permanently +1, current Su Dingfang’s five dimensions: command 101 (+3), force 100 (+3), intelligence 87 (+2), politics 70 (+2), charm 91 (+2); Equipment: Red Lightning Horse, Black Tiger Spear. 】

“Brother Li, our army only suffered 20,000 casualties in this battle, but it annihilated 80,000 elite troops of Zhao State. Brother Li, you have done the most great job.”

Su Dingfang and Li Jing walked side by side and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Li is willing to continue to help Su to break through the Bohai Sea and kill Yuan Shao to complete the great victory of Zhao?"

After hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a while, then refused with a smile: "Brother Su, the Zhao State does not have many elite soldiers on the Bohai Sea front line. With Brother Su's ability, it will only be a matter of time before the Zhao State is overthrown. What Li has in his hands is With this small amount of troops, it doesn’t matter whether we keep them or not, so I won’t save you for taking the credit from you, Brother Su.”

“What are you talking about, Brother Li? It’s just a small amount of effort, why not give it to Brother Li?”

Su Dingfang pretended to be displeased and said, while Li Jing smiled and said: "My lord once said that good steel should be used on the blade.

Our troops are not large in nature, so leaving them behind will not have a big effect. It is better to transfer them to the battlefield in Wei County, which may have a miraculous effect. "

Li Jing is not stupid. The big cake of the Battle of Julu originally had nothing to do with him, but now that he has grabbed the second largest piece of cake, he naturally doesn't care about the small contribution from the Bohai Sea.

In addition, Li Jing only brought 30,000 troops into Jizhou and lost nearly 10,000 troops during the attack. Su Dingfang was a general who commanded 110,000 troops. If he stayed, he could only become Su Dingfang's general. , Li Jing was obviously not willing to succumb to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang also heard the meaning of Li Jing's words, and said with regret: "In this case, Su will not force Brother Li to stay. Where is Cheng Yaojin?"

 “The end will be here.” Cheng Yaojin stood up and responded.

"You are hereby ordered to lead an army of ten thousand men and serve under General Li Jing's command without making any mistakes."

 “Nuo.” Cheng Yaojin shouted,

Li Jing was stunned when he saw this and asked: "Brother Su, what does this mean?"

Su Dingfang smiled and said: "Brother Li helped Su a lot this time, but he lost nearly 10,000 troops. Su felt really uneasy, so I will replace this part of the lost troops for you so that Li can Brother, you can rest assured to conquer Wei County."

Originally, Li Jing was still worried that if he led only 20,000 troops into Wei County, he might not even be able to fight a wave. He was wondering how to ask Su Dingfang for 10,000 prisoners of war and surrender, but he did not expect that Su Dingfang would take the initiative to send 10,000 elite soldiers. for myself.

 “Thank you very much.”

Li Jing really couldn't resist this temptation, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Su Dingfang. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart: Su Dingfang is such a real person!

 The war in Hebei is so fierce now, and military strength is the capital of meritorious service. The general must be eager to have as many troops as possible, but Su Dingfang instead allocated his troops to Li Jing, which shows that he is a sincere gentleman.

Although Su Dingfang assigned 10,000 elite troops to Li Jing, he still had 100,000 troops under his command, which was more than enough for the coming war.

 Less than two days after the end of the war, Li Jing and Su Lie divided their forces again. Li Jing led an army of 30,000 people and went straight to Yecheng, Wei County, while Su Dingfang led an army of 100,000 people to attack the Bohai Sea without giving Yuan Shao any chance to react.

With the entire army of high-ranking cadres Zhongfu annihilated, the senior officials of the Zhao State have become a mess. Everyone has guessed the outcome of Lian Po's army, but they can only hope that Lian Po can create miracles, but Lian Po is only a human being. Not God.

Even though Lian Po tried his best, he was still unable to reverse the situation. Even if he used his own life as bait, in the end he only sent back 4,000 remnant troops to Bohai, which was of little help to the subsequent war.

 Lian Po was killed in battle, and the entire army of one hundred thousand elite troops was wiped out. Zhao's elites were basically wiped out, and the few remaining recruits were of no use.

Although Zhao State still had troops that could fight, they were all dragged on the Yecheng battlefield and could not be transferred back to support Bohai for a while.

Facing the approaching Su Dingfang army, Yuan Shao followed the advice of his counselor Wen Zhong and reduced his troops to prepare to defend the Bohai Sea. At the same time, he ordered all the cities on the front line to defend behind closed doors to delay Su Dingfang for a month.

Yuan Shao planned to take advantage of this time to mobilize the people in the city to defend Bohai City. Even if he could not hold it in the end, he would use the Bohai city defense to consume half of the Qin army's strength.

Bohai is the capital of Zhao State, and it is also the largest city in Jizhou after Yecheng. There are 300,000 people in the city, and a large amount of supplies have been hoarded.

With Yuan Shao's full mobilization, most of the strong men in the city were incorporated into the garrison by Yuan Shao, and there were more than 100,000 militiamen at once.

At the same time that Yuan Shao was preparing to defend the Bohai Sea, Su Dingfang also led an army of 100,000 people towards the Bohai Sea.

Fearing the power of Su Dingfang's army, most of the more than ten counties along the Bohai Sea and Julu directly opened their cities and surrendered. The few remaining cities were unable to withstand Yuwen Chengdu's siege, so they were stormed into the city and seized the city. .

 In the end, Su Dingfang took only ten days to march directly to Bohai City and surrounded Bohai City.

After some persuading and scolding, there was no response from the Bohai City, so Su Dingfang immediately summoned the generals to discuss ways to break the city.

"General, I heard that Yuan Shao has incorporated all the strong men in Bohai into the army. He is preparing to fight with my army in Bohai." Yuwen Chengdu said.

"With the combat power of our army, it is not difficult to break the city, but the difficulty lies in reducing casualties and not harming the people in the city." Ding Yanping said,

"Yes, if we forcefully attack the city, even if Bohai is captured, the people in the city will definitely hate our army, which will not be conducive to ruling Jizhou." Su Xian said.

The generals tried to talk to each other, but there was no way to break the city without hurting the people.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang smiled lightly and said: "In this battle, attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority. There is a way for the general to make Bohai City self-defeating without attacking."

After saying this, Su Dingfang took out a "Letter to the People of Bohai" and said in a deep voice: "Come here, immediately copy this article to 100,000 copies, and then order people to shoot it into Bohai City. This is going to be seen by everyone in the city." "A Letter to the People of the Bohai Sea".

The second update is here, the monthly ticket has exceeded 700, and one chapter has been added. Currently, I still owe four chapters.

Liuxiang felt desperate when she learned that her monthly ticket had exceeded 700. She owed more and more money and felt so tired.

The chapters I owed before this month must have been replaced, and I can only continue to pay them back next month.
