Chapter 66 Zhao Jun Rescue

Bao Ying finally discovered that his lieutenant was shot and killed by a Qin general below.

Still so far apart, they were all killed by one arrow, and there was absolutely no need to use a second arrow.

Without the other deputy generals and the command of General Pi, the soldiers guarding the city quickly became a mess. They didn't know how to resist. Bao Ying was in a state of confusion. When he was about to quickly command other soldiers to counterattack, a sense of danger hit him.

Come.

He looked down the city and saw Bai Zhong's bow and arrow pointed right at him.

"not good!"

Bao Ying was shocked and moved quickly, trying to use other soldiers to interfere with Bai Zhong's sight.

Bai Zhong's eyes were sharp. No matter how he ran, he could not escape capture. He quickly locked the person and loosened the bowstring.

Whoosh!

The sharp piercing sound seemed to cut through the air, and then hit the chest of a Korean soldier.

The tip of the arrow penetrated the soldier's chest and hit Bao Ying's chest on the right side.

Bao Ying felt a sting in his right chest, and then a powerful force rushed towards him. He retreated with the force of the arrow and hit the wall behind him heavily.

The force of the sharp arrow did not diminish, passing through Bao Ying's body and piercing into the city wall.

Bao Ying was nailed to the city wall, and the pain from the wound made him scream.

"Mistake!"

Bai Zhong saw that he could not kill him with one arrow. He was hit by an arrow in the right chest. As long as it did not damage his lungs, he would not die for the time being. He could only draw another sharp arrow and draw the bow.

"Break!"

Bao Ying knew that he was still exposed in front of Bai Zhong, so he endured the pain and swung his sword back.

The arrow shaft that passed through his body was cut off by him, half of the arrow shaft remained in his body, and the other half was submerged in the city wall. He quickly ducked down and hid under the parapet.

However, as soon as he was short, another arrow almost missed his scalp and hit the city wall again.

"What a strong archery skill, what a strong arm strength!"

Although Bao Ying's strength is not very good, he still has good eyesight.

An arrow of this strength must be a strong bow with more than nine stones. In Korea, no one can even draw a three-stone bow, let alone one with more than nine stones. I suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He looked around the city tower and saw that the surrender troops were attacking one after another. The Korean troops defending the city were pressed and attacked, and he understood that it was impossible to defend Yangcheng.

"Abandon Yangcheng and return to Xinzheng!"

Bao Ying yelled and touched the wound again. The pain made him grit his teeth and hold on.

Several soldiers noticed the general's condition and hurriedly came over to help him walk down the tower, trying to leave as soon as possible through the east gate.

When the other Korean soldiers heard that they could retreat, they no longer wanted to fight and rushed to leave the tower.

"Bang the drum, attack!"

Wang Ben saw the guards on the city tower receding like a tide. He understood that the Han army was preparing to abandon Yangcheng, and decisively ordered the Qin army behind him to attack.

Most of the surrendered soldiers climbed up the tower, controlled it, and then opened the city gate.

When the Qin army saw it, they swarmed in and chased the retreating Korean army to kill them.

Fight to the end.

Bao Ying could only escape with more than 10,000 people and suffered serious injuries.

Wang Ben did not order the pursuit, but took over Yangcheng first, and then asked people to tally casualties and military exploits.

The Qin army waited for the city to be broken before taking action. There was no need to attack the city desperately, and only dozens of people were slightly injured.

But Ning Teng's surrender resulted in the loss of more than 30,000 people.

"Congratulations to Commander Ning for your great achievement in conquering Yangcheng."

Wang Ben was very satisfied with the certificate and had no intention of competing with Ning Teng for credit.

Ning Teng said modestly: "Thank you General Wang and General Bai for giving me this opportunity. In fact, it was General Bai who was the first to break the city."

Bai Zhong said: "I just fired hidden arrows for a while, it doesn't matter. Next Xinzheng, we still have to look at General Ning."

In other words, in the attack on Xinzheng, he should still be the vanguard and continue to submit the certificate of surrender.

As a surrendered general, Ning Teng could not refuse, so he agreed: "Wei!"

Wang Ben did not immediately send troops to Xinzheng. He first took over Yangcheng and rested for a day or two before advancing.

——

Bao Ying was relatively tough. An arrow penetrated the right side of his chest, but he managed to survive in the end.

They fled all the way and finally returned to Xinzheng.

As soon as the news of Ning Teng's surrender reached Xinzheng, Han Wangan received the news that Bao Ying was seriously injured and defeated and Yangcheng was lost. He was almost frightened out of his wits and hurriedly went to see Bao Ying who had returned from the defeat.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent!"

There was still blood seeping out of Bao Ying's chest. Although he was not dead, his condition was not much better.

Han Wangan sighed helplessly: "General Bao has tried his best. Someone please send the general down for treatment."

Not long after Bao Ying was sent away, a minister came over and said: "Your Majesty, there is news... there is news!"

"what news!"

Han Wangan was already desperate.

The minister said: "I just received the news of the envoy to Zhao Wei. Wei refused to send troops, but Zhao is willing to support us. Zhao Cong is leading 80,000 people on the way to South Korea."

Hearing that Wei Guo refused to send troops, Han Wangan couldn't help but cursed, but Zhao Guo was willing to come to support, so he immediately became energetic and asked quickly: "How long will it take to arrive?"

Because marching takes time, and the news can be sent back as soon as possible.

The speed of message transmission is much faster than the speed of marching.

"About five days left!"

The minister said.

Han Wangan said anxiously: "It takes more than three days to get from Yangcheng to Xinzheng. If the Qin army comes to attack, we Xinzheng may not be able to support it for a day. What else can we do?"

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, I propose that someone tell Zhao Cong to speed up the march. At the same time, we abandon Xinzheng and wait until the Zhao army arrives. While the King has someone stick to Xinzheng and delay the Qin army, he goes out of the city and asks Zhao Jun to escort the king away.

.”

"no!"

Han Wangan immediately rejected the proposal.

Abandoning Xinzheng would be equivalent to destroying the country, and he could not accept such a result.

The minister added: "The Qi State was almost destroyed by the Yan State, but it was able to recover in the end. Gou Jian endured the humiliation and finally defeated Fu Cha. As long as the king is still alive, we still have hope."

After hearing these words, Han Wangan's mind wavered for a while, and he felt that it made sense, and finally said: "Then let's make the decision and go make arrangements quickly."

This is already a desperate and last resort.

——

The Qin army set out from Yangcheng and marched faster than Han Wangan and others thought. It took more than two days to approach Xinzheng.

In Xinzheng City, including the more than 10,000 people brought back by Bao Ying, there are more than 60,000 guards in total.

But Han Wangan was worried that he could not hold back the Qin army, so he recruited 30,000 to 40,000 young men in the city and forcibly gave them weapons to join the army to defend the Qin army together.

At this time, when they learned that the Qin army was coming, the remaining Korean troops were all frightened.

"General Bai, Han is about to be destroyed by us."

Wang Ben was in a good mood when he came to Xinzheng City.

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said, "General Wang, can you give me fifty thousand people?"

"What is General Bai going to do?"

Wang Ben asked curiously.

"Before we attacked Zhao State, Han and Wei sent troops to relieve Zhao State."

"Now that South Korea is in trouble, it will definitely turn to Zhao Wei for help."

"Wei may not come to rescue, but Zhao is very likely to come. Even if he cannot be rescued, he will escort Han Wangan away."

"We are approaching the city, and we haven't seen support from the Zhao army or the Wei army yet. I guess it is more likely to escort Han Wangan away."
