Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 303

When they asked this sentence, Zhao Kuo and others were located behind a small hill. As long as they straightened up a little, they could see the head of Anmen City several miles away.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said to the Zhao Guo officer: "What you said is true, but the walls of Anmen City are not completely impossible to climb."

"What do you mean by the captain's words?"

Zhao Kuo said with great certainty: "The side of Anmen City facing the Yellow River has a waterproof embankment, and the height between the city wall and the embankment is limited. You can climb along this way to the Anmen!"

Although he suffered setbacks in the Anyi camp, Zhao Kuo did not spend that time in vain. With the convenience of the prefect of Hedong County, Wang Ji, he consulted a large amount of geographical and water information in Hedong County. Although the city is not big, its geographical location is quite important, so it is also in the focus of Zhao Kuo.

"But how can we get close to the dam of Anmen City? There are no boats!"

"It's winter now, and the Yellow River is freezing!"

Only then did the officers of Zhao State suddenly realize.

Zhao Kuo continued: "I will have a good rest later, and at midnight tonight, follow me to attack Anmen City!"

But some people still feel that this plan is a bit risky: "General, although the river has frozen, it is still uncertain whether you can walk on the ice."

This is indeed the truth. You must know that according to Zhao Kuo's plan, you must quietly bypass Anmen City when the lights are dark, and walk a long way from the frozen Yellow River to reach the rear of Anmen City. Attack.

Considering that due to nutritional problems, the night vision of most people in the Zhao army has been severely reduced or even close to zero, this is actually not a very safe plan.

Zhao Kuo snorted heavily, and said, "How can there be a sure-fire plan in this world? Just act according to this, if there is any mistake, I will apologize to the general!"

Now that Zhao Kuo, who is the chief general of this army, has talked about this point, naturally there will be no more objections, and several generals have been ordered to leave.

The snowflakes were flying, and gradually it was nightfall.

This night was destined to be extremely long for Zhao Kuo and the Zhao soldiers behind him.

When there was still an hour before midnight, Zhao Kuo had already issued an order: "The whole army set off!"

After receiving this order, all Zhao soldiers stood up, held hands one by one, and set off quietly in the dark night, heading west.

A few miles away, a few invisible lights are shining and dancing at the head of the shore gate. It is the fire light used by the defenders to illuminate the outside of the city, and it is also the only signal for the army led by Zhao Kuo in the dark night. mark.

Chapter 3 Ke'anmen (Second more)

Biting cold.

The winter night was so cold, snowflakes slapped Zhao Kuo's face with a sharp cold wind, which made Zhao Kuo's face a little numb.

Behind Zhao Kuo, the sound of falling could be heard from time to time, but there was no cry.

The whole team silently maintained a slow speed, heading towards the west in the dark night.

According to the original plan, Zhao Kuo did not launch an attack on Anmen City immediately, but marched towards the frozen Yellow River in the south of Anmen City, and walked around from the frozen Yellow River to the west dam of Anmen City. Launch a surprise attack on the section between the dike and the city wall where people can climb directly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhao Kuo's feet suddenly slipped, and he staggered forward, almost falling to the ground.

Zhao Kuo felt awe-inspiring, lowered his body and touched the ground lightly with his hand, but he didn't touch the muddy ground mixed with snowflakes, only the smooth ice surface.

He has stepped on the ice of the Yellow River.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and walked forward more cautiously.

However, just as soon as he took a step, Zhao Kuo's foot slipped again, and he fell firmly with a "bang".

Zhao Kuo got up slowly and continued to head north.

In the dark night behind Zhao Kuo, there were bangs and bangs from time to time, which sounded like a firecracker.

Above Zhao Kuo's head was an extremely pitch-black sky, and there was silence in the winter night, except for the cold wind blowing with ice and snow, whistling in everyone's ears.

"Kala, Kala!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded not far behind Zhao Kuo, followed by a low cry of surprise.

Zhao Kuo stopped and asked behind him, "What's going on?"

"Someone fell into the water."

"Drowning?"

"No, it's pulled up."

Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "It's already approaching the shore gate, so be careful not to make any noise."

Of course, having said that, Zhao Kuo knew very well in his heart that things like slipping or not slipping are really out of his control.

Even though Zhao Kuo was surrounded by a thousand Zhao Guo elites who were prohibited by the order, Zhao Kuo could not guarantee that everything would go smoothly on such a night of ice and snow where the eyes could not see.

Fortunately, Shore Gate City is not far away.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Kuo finally approached gradually under the guidance of the faint fire at the top of the Anmen city, only about a hundred steps away from the top of the Anmen city.

This distance is not enough to be irradiated by the fire.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, lightly stretched out his hand and hammered twice on the left chest of the Zhao soldier behind him, then squatted down silently, turning into a figure hiding in the darkness.

The soldier issued the same order to the soldiers behind him, and after a while, the silent order spread throughout the entire army.

Zhao Kuo squatted for a long time.

It wasn't until the third patrol team of the Qin Army passed by the city in front of Zhao Kuo that Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand again and patted the right shoulder of the soldier behind him three times.

This is the signal to attack.

After sending out this signal, Zhao Kuo stood up without hesitation, and began to run towards the embankment not far in front of him in small steps.

"boom!"

Just after running two steps, Zhao Kuo's foot slipped again, and he fell down firmly.

A burst of severe pain was transmitted from the bridge of the nose to Zhao Kuo's brain. Zhao Kuo only felt that his nostrils were warm, and the smell of blood began to spread from the tip of his nose.

Several pairs of big hands pulled Zhao Kuo up at the same time.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Zhao Kuo touched his nose, and sure enough, he got a nosebleed.

But now is not the time to worry about this.

"Keep going!"

Zhao Kuo finally came to the dam.

The dam was also frozen, and it was also very smooth, but this time Zhao Kuo was careful, and finally managed to climb to the top of the slope of the dam and stood under the city wall.
