Chapter 242: The Battle of the Kingdom of Li

Outside the city of Geguo, 15 troops of the Wei army were lined up here. Sima Chong rode out to the front of the battle, and shouted to the top of the city: "The one on the city is Tai Shiwei, General Tai Shi?"

Tai Shiwei in the city heard the words, took a step forward, and rushed back to Sima in the city: "It's Tai Shiwei, you and I are the masters of each other, and belong to two countries. I wonder what General Sima has taught?"

Sima Chong smiled and said: "General Taishi, you and I are old acquaintances, so why should you act like you are thousands of miles away? General Taishi, my great general respects you very much. Now I, Da Zhao Millions of heroes march south, and the fall of Wei is imminent. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a leader to serve. General Taishi is also a smart man. Why don't you open the city and vote for me? I, Sima Chong, hereby guarantee that I will Zhao Ding treats him with the position of General Siping, and it is no problem to be conferred a marquis or title in the future, otherwise the army will break through the city, and I am afraid that people will die and blood will flow like rivers."

Seeing that Sima Chong dared to surrender himself, Tai Shiwei sneered and said, "General Sima was joking. I, Tai Shi Wei, was born as a minister of the Great Wei, and died as a ghost of the Great Wei. How could I do such things like forgetting my ancestors?" What? As long as General Sima has the confidence to break the city, then go ahead, but I have to remind General Sima here, don’t forget the defeat of Huishan, so that you can take care of yourself.”

Hearing Tai Shiwei's words, Sima Chong's face suddenly became gloomy. He didn't expect this Tai Shiwei to be so ignorant. He was slapping himself in the face, so he said with a cold face: "Okay, since General Taishi is so ignorant of good and bad, I will be a good man in vain. I just hope that General Taishi will not regret it in the future." After saying that, he turned around Back to the formation.

Tai Shiwei saw that Sima Chong had already retreated, so he said to Zhong Liang, the general of the Wei army beside him: "Send the order, the whole army is on alert, the archers are ready, and the pre-prepared boulders and logs are carried up, and the boiling oil and golden soup are boiled. , since Sima Chong wants my country city, then make preparations to keep all his 15 people."

"Here!" Zhong Liang responded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" After Sima Chong returned to Zhao Jun's formation, Zhao Jun's war drums sounded, and after the trumpeter blew the horn of attack, groups of Zhao Jun soldiers pushed the chariots , the siege log, and carried the ladder to launch an attack on the city of Liguo.

After Zhao Jun entered the range of the archers, the Wei Jun archers in the city began to shoot. After a few rounds, hundreds of Zhao Jun soldiers died under the bows and arrows, and Zhao Jun paid nearly a thousand casualties. After that, they finally got close to the city wall of Geguo City. A group of Zhao soldiers clamped up the ladder and began to climb, while the Wei soldiers on the city wall kept throwing boulders and rolling logs from the city. Countless soldiers of the Zhao army were concentrated by boulders and rolling logs and fell down, while the Wei army also poured boiling oil and gold soup down, and many soldiers of the Zhao army were also recruited.

Before Zhao Jun attacked the city, there were a lot of casualties, but Sima Chong in Zhao Jun's formation was not moved when he saw it. In what year and month can the city of Liguo be taken down? Besides, the military order Xin Zhao gave him was to take down the city of Liguo at all costs. No matter how many casualties there were, the city of Liguo would be knocked down. Under Zhao Jun's continuous charge regardless of the casualties, soldiers of Zhao Jun finally began to climb to the top of the city of Liguo, and fought hand-to-hand with the Wei army. Some soldiers of Zhao Jun or Wei Jun fell from the top of the city, and their deaths were very miserable.

This tragic offensive and defensive battle lasted for a day, Sima Chong saw that he still failed to break through the city, and now it was getting late, and the soldiers were exhausted after fighting for a whole day, so he ordered to withdraw with a sullen face.

As the sound of Ming Jin came, the soldiers of Zhao Jun on the city wall began to retreat in an orderly manner, and Tai Shiwei on the city finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Jun retreating. Today's Zhao Jun seems to be crazy The same, completely disregarding casualties, to be honest, Tai Shiwei has not fought such a difficult battle for many years.

After Zhao Jun retreated, Wei Jun began to go out of the city to clean up the corpses of his comrades, and Zhao Jun also sent a soldier to clean up the corpses. This is an unwritten rule. After each battle, both sides will send People come to clean up the corpses of the comrades who died in battle. During this period, both the attacker and the defender must not launch an attack, otherwise they will be cast aside by the people of the world.

"How are the casualties today?" Tai Shiwei stood on the top of the wall, looked at the soldiers of Zhao Wei who were packing up the same uniforms in the army, and asked Zhong Liang next to him.

Zhong Liang replied: "Returning to General Taishi, our army's casualties today are estimated to exceed 3000, of which more than a thousand died in battle, and the Zhao army's casualties are estimated to be twice as many as our army's."

"One to two!" Hearing the number of casualties, Tai Shiwei closed his eyes and sighed: "It is rumored that Zhao Jun's combat power is unparalleled in the world, and the world will not deceive me. Seeing you today, it is really not comparable to our army. With such a tenacious resistance from the army, coupled with the strength of the city wall, the Zhao army was able to achieve a record of one to two. This combat strength, even if it is not the best in the world, is also one of the best."

Zhong Liang at the side didn't know how to answer Tai Shiwei's words.He has not been in the army for a long time, he came out to join the army after the death of his brother Zhong Shang, and provoked the Zhong family's leadership. It was the first time he saw such a tragic offensive and defensive battle. Zhong Liang can be regarded as an unlucky boy He had two elder brothers, Zhong Zhang and Zhong Shang, who knew that they both died in the hands of Deng Jun. The eldest brother Zhong Zhang, when Deng Guo destroyed Han, went to welcome the King of Han to enter Wei under the order of the King of Wei. He died at the hands of Zhang Fei. His second elder brother, Zhong Shang, died at the hands of Li Cunxiao in the battle of Changsha. He joined the army, one to provoke the Zhong family, and the other was to avenge his two elder brothers and kill Zhang Fei. Fei and Li Cunxiao.

"Arrange the wounded soldiers, and you will deal with the rest. The general is a little tired, so go down first, and come to the general if you have anything to do." This is, Tai Shiwei said to Zhong Liang.

Zhong Liang nodded and responded.

The next day, Sima Chong once again launched a strong attack on Geguo City, but just like yesterday, he still couldn't shake Geguo City after a day of fierce fighting, and Tai Shiwei in the city felt that he couldn't go any further, so he sent someone to invite the people who were stationed in the city. Ander's Huang Furong came to help the battle, and Sima Chong saw all this, so he sent someone to follow Tai Shiwei's messenger. Go to ambush Ander's Huang Furong.

After receiving the letter from Tai Shiwei, Huangfu Rong hurried northward with [-] soldiers and horses to the country of Ge, but he was intercepted and killed by Tu Gao's [-] cavalry soldiers. Tu Gao hands.

After Huangfurong was dealt with, Sima Chong continued to attack Geguo City, but Tai Shiwei in Geguo City couldn't see Huangfurong coming to help him, so he was suspicious, so he sent scouts to inquire, only then did he know that Huangfurong was attacked by Zhao The ambush of the cavalry has wiped out the entire army.

Tai Shiwei, who had no reinforcements, felt more and more powerless. At this time, Zhao Jun came with another reinforcement. It turned out that Sima Chong had suffered heavy casualties under the strong attack of the past few days, and it was difficult to form a force to suppress the city of Liguo. , So he sent someone to ask Xin Zhao for reinforcements. Xin Zhao also knew that the battle in Geguo City was already in full swing, so he sent General Huang Fuming to lead [-] soldiers and horses for reinforcements.

On May 17th, 5th year of Qianyuan, after nearly half a month of onslaught, Zhao Jun finally broke through Geguo City. Tai Shiwei had no choice but to lead the remnant soldiers back to Ande City. In this battle, Zhao Jun The army lost more than 4 soldiers and horses, and the Wei army also lost more than 2 people, of which [-] died in the hands of Zhao Jun's cavalry, and the general Huangfu died in battle.

The fall of Ge Kingdom put Han Qing's carefully arranged defense line into a crisis of bankruptcy. In order to stabilize the situation, Han Qing had to mobilize 3 soldiers and horses stationed in Ban County, and sent [-] troops to garrison Pingyuan City. Ande City, where they are located, becomes the horns of each other and rebuilds the defense line.
