Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 169 Princes, generals, Li people, will die

The extremely dense black clouds covered the entire sky, and not a single ray of light could penetrate through them, as if nine days were going to crush the world, almost touching the top of people's heads.

The sky and the earth are very quiet, there is not even the slightest sound of flowers, plants and insects singing. In the silence, there is only the sound of the wind that is gradually increasing, gently brushing the corners of the clothes, and gradually people can't even stand still.

"Tick tock."

Fingernail-sized raindrops fell, and soon turned into an overwhelming rain curtain, fell into the mountain and merged into the mountain spring, and then converged into a stream and flowed down the mountain.

In the sound of the rain, a few people could be vaguely heard talking, with an obvious Chu accent, and a little anxiety in their voices.

In the cave, there are four or five people sitting, all of them are in simple attire, reminiscent of the Mohists of the past.

These people are very young, and there is a flash of light in their eyes from time to time, which is extremely sharp.

The figure looks strong and capable, the muscles on each arm are high and raised, the skin is sun-tanned by the wind and the sun, and the hands are full of calluses.

If you have been in the army for a long time, you can tell at a glance that these people are sharpshooters in the army.

The oldest black-faced man among the crowd stroked the strong bow and crossbow beside him, and murmured: "I don't know when the rain will stop.

I don't know how far the war between Qin and Zhao has progressed. I hope we don't show up too late.

I have to fight for nothing to comfort my parents and elder brother's ghosts. "

There were only 17 members of his family, three brothers and sisters who stayed in Jiangdong, but all relatives in Yingdu died, and died in that great defeat.

Not only the casualties of relatives, but also all the wealth disappeared with a flood.

If he didn't have a surname to rely on, he might be completely reduced to a commoner, and his ancestors would be ashamed after his death.

Whoever kills Bai Qi will get fifty miles of land. This is a reward order issued by the Chu royal family to the entire Zhu Xia.

I don't know how many people went to Qin Zhao's battlefield, and then were trapped in the mountains by the heavy rain.

If you can't find a good shelter from the rain, in this era where fever is basically equivalent to death, I am afraid that many warriors will die directly in the rain.

Everyone bowed their heads and said: "King Taiyi Su is above, the supreme god will protect us."

The tradition of witch sacrifices in Chu State is very strong, and Chu people are famous for their good ghosts and gods.

Among the poems handed down by Zuo Tu Quzi to other countries, Luo Guogong liked the extreme praise and eulogy of the gods, and praised it as "the beauty of Chu songs, which is second to none after poetry".

Especially after King Su joined the faith of Chu.

This is the only ancestral deity that has actually performed a large number of miracles.

As soon as the royal family of Chu publicized it, the people of Chu believed in ghosts and gods even more.

"Su Wang will be with us."

A voice with an accent obviously different from that of a Chu person sounded. Naturally, he was not a Chu person, but a Luo person.

Qiao Yun is the best in Luo Mo, his father is Qiao Cheng, Duke Wu's younger brother.

His wife was a woman from Chu State who came to Luo State with the mission, and finally died in the heavy rain that seemed to never stop when she returned to Yingdu City to visit her relatives.

He was silent for a long time. After the office decided to kill Bai Qi, he took the initiative to apply to his cousin Luo Ze to assassinate Bai Qi. This was a personal enmity, and he chose to be with his uncle.

His figure is very strong, especially a pair of arms, the muscle line almost supports the clothes, but it doesn't look bloated, but full of strength.

There was a very different strong bow beside him. That bow was obviously a special bow and arrow. Most people, not to mention archery, might not even be able to pull it apart a little bit.

The arrow held in this person's hand is also extraordinary, the position of the arrow is not the color of bronze, but a relatively bright metal with a little white light.

This metal is called "sharp gold" in Luo Kingdom.

Difficult both to mine and to craft weapons, but the metal breaks armor extremely well.

It is far more than bronze, a metal that is easy to curl a blade. As long as the arm is strong enough, it can be shot through directly, and it is not as brittle as iron, which is easy to damage.

It is really a must-have artifact for killers and assassins, but it is a pity that this kind of metal is too rare.

A part of Luo Shi's hand was copied directly by relying on whiteboard props.

Everyone looked enviously at the strong bow and arrow, but they had tried that bow before, and with their arm strength, they could barely pull it open.

If you can't draw that strong bow, the sharp and unstoppable arrows will be a waste in their hands.

"Boom!"

The gods above the nine heavens were angry and unscrupulously vented their divine power. The winding lightning appeared in an instant, and the sky and the earth attracted a moment of light, and then returned to darkness again. The deafening thunder resounded through everyone. between hearts.

Not only did the sudden heavy rain not stop, but it became heavier, as if it was offering an elegy to the world, mourning the creatures who died in battle.

Painful expressions appeared on everyone's faces. The heavy rain that seemed to never stop reminded everyone of the heavy rain that almost destroyed Chu.

……

On the battlefield between Qin State and Zhao State, corpses were already strewn all over the field.

Lian Po has left the battlefield and was transferred back to Handan by King Zhao. Now on the battlefield is Zhao Kuo, the most outstanding genius of Zhao's new generation.

The matter also starts with the confrontation between Lian Po and Bai Qi.

As Lian Po expected, Zhao State, lacking mountains and rivers, could not effectively resist Qin's attack. He could only use Zhao State's existing terrain to rebuild some difficult-to-break cities and fortresses.

But what is built by man is naturally not as good as what is made by heaven.

Just like the mountains of Xiaoshan leading to the Qin State and the mountains of Bashu, they are rugged and difficult to walk. Building a city can withstand a million troops. How can anyone compare it?
But the reason Zhao Guo was able to persevere was because Bai Qi wanted to lure the enemy deep and lead Zhao Guo's army into the pocket formation.

Then Qin State only needs to guard a few key passes, and Zhao State's army will be trapped to death in them. This is Bai Qi's usual practice.

But Lian Po is a famous general in the world, so he was not fooled at all.

He is very clear that more than half of the passes in Jinzhong are in the hands of Qin.

Once you attack rashly, there is a high probability that you will be defeated by the Qin army and cut off your back.

The Qin army even only needs to control a few cities to complete the encirclement of the Zhao army, which is not very difficult to tell the truth.

Once trapped, with no food and water, the only thing Zhao Jun can do is to attack the defense line composed of mountains and dangerous passes.

Hearing this, I felt very stupid. Zhao Jun, who was cut off from water and food, went to attack the defense line formed by the elite Qin army, that was simply a dream.

Therefore, in the face of several defeats and retreats of the Qin army, Lian Po concluded that there must be fraud.

Even if it is now at war with Qin, the defense line is always crumbling.

But Lian Po will never be greedy for advantages. He is here to spend with Qin, and he must not take any risks.

Although he was very anxious in his heart, because Zhao Guo's food and grass were not enough to supply the army as he expected.

And it is far from enough.

Because in recent years, the successive natural disasters in Zhao State have caused a large amount of grain production to be reduced.

In the past, when Bang Zhou was so powerful, he was defeated by natural disasters. How could Zhao Guo avoid it?
All of a sudden, the generals on both sides of the confrontation on the battlefield were in a hurry.

Bai Qi's strategic goal could not be achieved, and he didn't know that Zhao Guo was going to run out of food, so he had to rack his brains to think about countermeasures.

Lian Po couldn't find a way to win the battle at all, and he had to watch the war situation gradually move towards an advantage over Qin.

And once the food is exhausted, Lian Po's only choice is to lead the army to withdraw from these cities and hand them over to Qin.

Bai Qi learned that Zhao Guo had criticized Lian Po's conservative war strategy, so he immediately decided to resort to Qin's classic tactics and let Zhao Guo change his generals.

The reprimand letter from Zhao Guochaotang came many times before this, and the letter reprimanded Lian Po: "You are the general of Zhao Guo, and the king appointed you as the commander-in-chief because of his trust in you.

But you have been hiding in the city and dare not fight, is it because of fear?
On the battle report, Zhao Guoerlang was brave and defeated the Qin army several times, but you refused to allow the pursuit, which caused the delay of the fighter plane. Isn't this your fault?

As a commander in chief but fearing the people of Qin, can he lead Zhao to victory? "

Bai Qi's plan to lure the enemy deep, coupled with the fact that Lian Po is really good at using troops.

On the surface, Zhao Guo has indeed achieved considerable victory.

This made the king of Zhao and the ministers who didn't understand military affairs feel contemptuous of the Qin people and Bai Qi. Coupled with the depletion of food and grass, the state of Zhao urgently needed a decisive battle.

When the order to change generals arrived, Lian Po was not angry, but had a complicated expression on his face. He knew that this was his destined ending.

He said to the left and right: "Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and I can't understand the current situation.

If there are generals like King Wu, Xiong Dun, Lord of the Army, and Luo Wugong, who are still alive, and lead the horse with [-] elite soldiers to drive the wind and snow, maybe they can face Qin and win the battle head-on, and let Bai Qi's various plans come to nothing. "

Lian Po is also a general in the military strategy department. Although there is a gap between him and Bai Qi in terms of personal ability, it is not that big. The main reason is that they are good at different directions.

But because of the gap in national power between Qin and Zhao, Lian Po could only withdraw sadly.

……

blood.

There are corpses all over the mountains and countless Zhao people are swarming towards the pass, like a plague of locusts.

But everything was in vain, without carrying a large number of siege equipment, it was a dream to attack the city, countless corpses fell on the ground, but the city was like a towering mountain, unshakable.

A crushing defeat.

Surrender.

Surrender will not die.

Zhao Ren put down his weapon.

Then came the massacre.

The morning light broke, and Bai Qi finally appeared in front of everyone.

This is the closest city to Handan City, and he looked at it from a distance, his heart agitated.

Within dozens of steps of him, teams of well-armored warriors protected him, and within three hundred steps, the elite of the Qin army could arrive at any time.

This is the time when the defense is weakest, and the Qin army is searching the whole city.

The surrounding houses have been demolished, and no one can hide.

In fact, as long as the distance within a hundred steps is controlled, the assassin is basically useless.

He gently removed his helmet, his face was old and pale.

All the Zhao people kneeling on the side of the road looked at him with hatred, but Bai Qi didn't care.

From the moment he showed up, he encountered assassination almost every day. On the land of Zhao State, he couldn't travel by himself at all.

That is simply looking for death.

"Your Majesty, only Luo is left, and you will be the new emperor."

Bai Qi stroked the sword lightly, then his face froze.

"Pfft!"

Six hundred paces away, Qiao Yun's arm was covered with blood. His arm was crippled, but his face was cold and solemn.

"People are mortal!"
