Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 901

Ju Xin took two steps in three and grabbed Sima Shang's shoulder: "What's going on, the city is broken?"

Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "The city is broken? What city is broken?"

Ju Xin was really angry at this moment, and shouted: "If the city has not been breached by the people of Chu, why did you appear here?"

Only then did Sima Shang turn his head around, and showed a big smile to Ju Xin: "The general misunderstood, the reason why Sima Shang came here is to tell the general good news that our reinforcements are here!"

"Reinforcements?" Ju Xin's eyes widened, "Where did the reinforcements come from?"

Sima Shang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but it's definitely my Zhao army! The Chu army gave up attacking the city and retreated when they saw the reinforcements coming!"

Ju Xin was overjoyed: "Hurry up, let me go and have a look!"

After a while, Ju Xin came to the head of the south city of Yangzhai City.

Sure enough, as Sima Shang said, the siege of the Chu people had ended, and groups of Chu soldiers were slowly withdrawing into the Chu camp outside the city.

And not far to the east, a black army like a tide is slowly advancing towards Yangdi City.

Even though there was still an extremely long distance, Ju Xin could still clearly see the red flag flying high at the forefront of the army.

Sure enough, Zhao Guo's army has arrived!

Ju Xin heaved a sigh of relief, his whole body felt comfortable, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, Ju Xin's contribution to defending Yangdi City and preventing the Chu army from going north to rescue Xinzheng is already firmly in his hands!

Ju Xin was in a good mood, but in the camp of the Chu army, Jing Jing, the current general of Chu, was furious.

"Bastard, damned Zhao people, where did the reinforcements come from?"

In front of Jingyang, none of the Chu generals dared to speak, and the atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive.

To be honest, these generals were also very aggrieved.

Everyone has worked so hard to attack Yangdi City until now, and it seems that they may successfully occupy this city at any time.

But at such a juncture when victory was close at hand, Zhao Guoren, who had already reached a dead end, ushered in reinforcements again, and it seemed that Xianyu might turn around at any time.

This is very demoralizing.

After Jingyang got angry, he finally suppressed his temper and asked: "Have you found out everything? Where did the reinforcements come from?"

A general in charge of the investigation replied with some trepidation: "Going back to Shangzhu Kingdom, I only know that this Zhao army came from the east, and the number should be around 8 to [-]."

"You bastard!" Jingyang couldn't help being furious again: "You don't even know that such a large army came from the east, what are you doing for food?"

The investigative general of Chu blushed, and couldn't help explaining in a low voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom, I am the scouting unit that just took over a few days ago."

Jingyang was taken aback when he heard the words, but it was hard to say the original scolding.

You must know that Huang Xie was originally the chief general of this army, so Huang Xie's people were in charge of this kind of investigation.

And after Jingyang took Huang Xie's position in one fell swoop, Jingyang had the opportunity to replace Huang Xie's with his own.

A cleansing like this would definitely lead to chaos and poor military order, but the reinforcements from the Zhao people happened to appear behind the Chu people just in time for the few days of the Chu army's own chaos!

Thinking of this, Jingyang himself was a little speechless, and couldn't help complaining angrily: "What is there to eat on the side of Yingdu? Could it be that there is no such thing as Zhao Jun's westward advance? Some news?"

But Jingyang himself knew very well that the two empress dowagers in Yingdu were fighting happily, and the entire battle in the north had basically been thrown into Jingyang's hands, who would pay attention to this.

Jingyang slammed his fist heavily on the table in front of him, causing the things on the table to jump wildly.

"It's all a bunch of useless things!"

After firing a fire, Jingyang let out a long breath and gave the order very decisively.

"Okay, send me an order. The whole army will rest for a day. Tomorrow, the camp will be withdrawn to the south, and the squadron will return home!"

"Teacher to return to the country?" Jingyang's order was followed by a surprised voice.

Someone couldn't help but said: "Shangzhu Kingdom, but this Yangdi City"

"Don't think about Yangdi City anymore, the war between Dachu and Chu is over!" Jingyang roughly interrupted the subordinate: "The people of Qin have already chosen to negotiate peace with the people of Zhao, and the people of Qi are too late It’s too late to send troops, and now Yangdi City is also coming to reinforce, we have no point in continuing to fight.”

Jingyang looked around at the generals of the Chu army who were somewhat unwilling in the big tent, and said word by word: "If you don't retreat, after Lian Po captures Xinzheng, we are afraid that we will be defeated again and again." There is no chance of retreating!"

Chapter 878 Inside the City and Outside the City (Third Change)

Xinzheng City.

Jin Yan stood in the main hall of Miyagi, quietly listening to Han Wangran's complaint.

"Jin Qing, when will Zhao Guoren's offensive stop? I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time!"

What Han Wangran said is indeed true.

Due to the implementation of the layout of a small city and a big country, the palace city of Xinzheng is not located in the center of the entire city, that is, in the inner city like the Forbidden City in later generations, but in the southwest corner of Xinzheng.

Although there is an extra city wall in Xinzheng City, this mere city wall is not enough to stop Zhao Jun's trebuchet.

Over the past few days, at least hundreds of boulders have been thrown into the palace city by Zhao Jun through trebuchets. Fortunately, none of the main palaces were close to the city wall, so it did not cause much damage.

But the problem is that when the trebuchet landed, the noise was very loud. Even in the main hall, which is hundreds or thousands of steps away, the rumbling sound still terrified Han Wangran.

What disturbed Han Wangran even more was that the people from Zhao Guo threw it not only during the day, but also at night.

Thinking about sleeping well in the middle of the night, suddenly there was a "bang", which made people a little unbearable.

It would be fine if it was just a trebuchet, but as the war continued, Zhao Guoren's legendary "Sky Thunder" weapon also began to show its power.

Compared with the trebuchet, the deafening sound when the thunder exploded was undoubtedly more shocking.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhao Guoren chose the location where Zhentianlei exploded for the first time, which happened to be in the southwest corner of Xinzheng City, that is, on the Miyagi side.

When he heard the explosion of Zhentianlei for the first time, the unprepared Han Wangran jumped up, and his knee hit the corner of the table. It took three days for the swelling to subside.

After that, Han Wangran became a little suspicious. Every time the sound of a trebuchet or a thunderstorm reached his ears, his heart would tighten violently, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

After all, Han Wangran is not the kind of general who fights on the battlefield all year round. When the war is forced in front of him nakedly in this way, he is obviously still a little bit overwhelmed.

Under such long-term torture, Han Wangran with red eyes looked like a powder keg that might explode at any time.

In fact, these days, there are one or two palace people who were directly ordered to be beaten to death by Han Wangran because of various trivial matters these days.

Jin Fu felt helpless, so he tried his best to appease his king: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already taken defensive measures. Miyagi's side is the top priority. There is absolutely no chance for Zhao people to attack."

Han Wangran snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that the Zhao people can't get in. The Korean ancestors have been running Xinzheng for so many years. How could the Zhao people be able to break through if they want?" He said with a proud expression.
