Chapter 56 Lonely City!
Zhaoguo.
Shi Nan Mansion.
Zhao Kingdom was previously weaker than Yun Kingdom, and at its strongest moment, there were only five prefectures.
Later, he repeatedly cedeed the land with the Wei State. Before this, Wei State launched a large-scale attack, only three prefectures remained.
This Shi Nan Prefecture is a mansion next to Yunling.
In other words, part of Yunling belongs to Shinan Prefecture in Zhaoguo.
Nie Gandang, Lian Cheng led five thousand soldiers out of Yunling yesterday, but the scouts sent in advance had already found out the situation in Zhaoguo.
As they had received news in Yunling before, the Xiling Prefecture where the capital of Zhao Kingdom is located and the Changning Prefecture to the east have long been occupied by the Wei army.
After the capital of Zhaohou and the Zhao clan were captured by the Wei army, they were taken to the Wei State.
Now there are only a few remaining soldiers in Zhao State and some people who are unwilling to accept the rule of Wei State, and they are still resisting the Wei army in Shinan Prefecture.
There is only one city left with the Zhao Kingdom flag.
That is Jianshi County.
"Your Majesty General, Jianshi County is about twenty miles away, and is currently besieged by ten thousand Wei troops.
The situation in the city will not be discovered at the end. As for the surrounding Wei army, looking at the flag, the Sima family should be the leader.
In addition, although there are many small groups of Wei troops surrounding Jianshi plundering the countryside, no established Wei troops with more than a thousand people were found."
In the temporary camp, the captain of the scout camp reported the latest military information to Nie Gandang and Lian Cheng.
After hearing this, Nie Gandang looked at Lian Cheng and asked, "Can General Lian know which Sima family is leading the army outside Jianshi City?"
Lian Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Sima and Wei Hou Yuan are in-laws in his past generations.
In addition, the Sima family is also the leader of the Wei family and has many military powers in the army.
The one who can lead tens of thousands of troops is at least at the level of a general. Therefore, I think this person is either Sima Gu or Sima Chong.
Of course, it may also be the left general of Wei State and Sima Tan!"
Nie Dandang noticed that when talking about Sima Tan, a killing intent flashed in Lian Cheng's eyes.
Obviously, this contemporary head of the Sima family, the Left General of the Wei State, should be Lian Cheng's biggest enemy.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Gandang smiled and said, "According to the information we have obtained at present, the Wei army thought that Shi Nanfu could no longer resist the existence of their army, so they surrounded Jianshi and did not attack him.
Doing so should be because I think Jianshi can't hold on for long under the siege.
If we suddenly appear, the leading Sima family will be very surprised."
Lian Cheng nodded after hearing this and said, "What the General said is very true. I am willing to be the pioneer in this battle!"
As he said that, Lian Cheng directly asked Nie Gandang to hold his fists and ask for his orders.
Logically speaking, Lian Cheng, as the left general, should not be such a vanguard general.
But they only had 5,000 soldiers this time, and with Nie Dandang's ability, they were as flexible and fulfilling as commanding their own five fingers.
On the other hand, although Lian Cheng had the strength of the seventh level of Rongling, he had only won a copycat of thousands of people before.
In addition, he had a grudge against the Sima family, Nie Dandang felt that this battle was a good opportunity to let Lian Cheng vent his anger first, so he nodded in agreement and issued a formal military order to Lian Cheng.
After receiving the military order, Lian Cheng took Xiaoqing, Chihu and a thousand elite troops to leave the camp first.
Nie Gandang led the remaining four thousand Yun army soldiers to follow.
In order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, the Yun army naturally sent a team of scouts along the way to open the way.
Many small groups of Wei soldiers were raped and plundering in the village, and were happy and free, and were killed by the Yunjun scouts who suddenly appeared.
As for the remaining people in the village, although it was unlikely that they would inform the Wei army, they were still rushed to the west by the scouts of the Yun army.
In this way, the Yun army did not need to be assigned to take care of it, and if anyone wanted to inform the Wei army, it would not be possible.
The worst-selling elites led by Lian Cheng is the third level of body quenching, so the speed of traveling is quite fast.
In just half an hour, I quietly arrived behind a hill outside Jianshi City...
at this time.
Jianshi City is shrouded in sorrow.
Gu Nanchen stood at the top of the city, looking at the hundreds of Wei army camps outside the city and the Wei army formations blocked from the four gates, with his sword-browed eyebrows frowned.
Gu Nanchen was just a deputy general of Zhao State before, but now he is the Zhao Army with the highest rank in Jianshi City and even the entire Shinan Mansion.
Even, it can be said that he was the only general who was still resisting the Wei army.
Therefore, when facing the Wei army besieged, his psychological pressure was greater than that of everyone.
Generally, the purpose of besieging the city is to capture the city, so it is often surrounded by three and one missing, and the net is opened.
But the Wei army surrounded Jianshi City this time, and obviously did not want them to escape.
In fact, as early as the day before yesterday, the Wei army sent people to shoot letters into the city and persuade Gu Nanchen and others to surrender.
However, those who could stay in Jianshi City to resist the Wei army, whether they were soldiers, officials, or ordinary people, had deep hatred with the Wei army.
Many of the soldiers and the people died tragically at the hands of the Wei army.
Now Zhao Kingdom is destroyed by Wei Kingdom.
It can be said that family hatred and national hatred have accumulated together. How can they reduce it?!
Therefore, the people of Zhao in Jianshi City all had the intention of dying with the Wei army.
However, after the Wei army commander Sima Gu tried to persuade the surrender in vain, he seemed to have understood this point and did not rush to attack the city.
Instead, tens of thousands of troops were divided into ten military formations, and four thousand-man army formations blocked the four sides of Jianshi City day and night.
With such a four-four rotation, there are still two thousand people who can respond at any time, so Jianshicheng is completely trapped to death.
'We want to fight to the death, but the Wei army didn't even give us the chance to fight to the death!'
This is exactly the reason why Jianshi City is shrouded in sorrow.
No matter men, women, young and old in the city, all the people of Zhao Kingdom combined are less than three thousand.
Among them, there are less than a thousand soldiers who can fight.
Food and grass and other materials will not last for a few days.
The most important thing is that Zhao Kingdom has perished, and it is impossible for anyone to support them. Jianshi has become an isolated city!
"General, please give an order!"
An old man with a gray beard next to him couldn't help but speak when he saw Gu Nanchen looking at the Wei army outside the city for a long time.
It turned out that in front of the city wall, Gu Nanchen had summoned his soldiers and the people of the whole city to conduct an military discussion.
Everyone believed that even if they could not use the benefits of defending the city to fight to death for a few more Wei troops, they could not be besieged to death so much. Therefore, they all wanted to take advantage of the fact that they could still have enough food to rush out of the city to fight with the Wei army.
But Gu Nanchen knew very well that his military order would inevitably lead to the death of nearly 3,000 Akihito.
Therefore, it has been difficult to make up the decision.
At this time, after hearing the old soldiers beside him advised him, Gu Nanchen couldn't help but look at his face that looked like a chrysanthemum and said, "I remember your name is Lao Li, right?"
The old man said, "Yes, the old man is called Li Gen, the current leader of the army. The brothers all call me Lao Li, or Li Lao Gen."
"What kind of hatred do you have with the Wei army?"
Gu Nanchen knew that the people in the city had a grudge against the Wei army, and that every hatred was unforgettable, but he couldn't help but ask.
Li Laogen said: "The three old men's sons joined the army and all died at the hands of the Wei army.
Monthly ago, the Wei army invaded Xiling Mansion, killed my old wife and raped my youngest daughter until she died. Only the old man escaped by hunting in the mountains.
After that, I joined the army and killed three Wei troops one after another. As long as I killed two more, the old man would avenge his family."
Gu Nanchen suddenly smiled after hearing this, "Old Li, killing two more is not enough. What about your own grudge?"
Li Laogen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the general was preparing to order out of the city and fight to the death with the Wei army.
So he grinned, "Hahaha, the general is right. The old man missed himself. He had to kill three more to be able to achieve his goal!"
After Li Laogen finished laughing, Gu Nanchen looked solemn and said with a stern voice: "Transfer some military order!"
Li Laogen and a group of soldiers next to him immediately looked calm and shouted in unison: "General has an order!"
"The general has an order!"
The soldiers spread these four words far away until the gate of the southern city.
More than 800 Zhao army soldiers and more than 2,000 Zhao country people have gathered here.
"Open the South City Gate!" Gu Nanchen said.
"Open the South City Gate!"
One by one, the soldiers and soldiers passed the orders to the military formation and the people's team behind the southern city gate.
Scream~
In the sour sound, under the surprised gaze of thousands of Wei soldiers outside the city, the south gate of Jianshi City slowly opened.
During this process, Gu Nanchen had walked quickly down the city wall.
He came to the gate tower of the South City Gate, stepped onto the only war horse in the city, and stood in front of everyone with a spear.
When the city gate was wide open, Gu Nancheng raised his spear with his right hand and shouted the last order-
"The whole city attacks!"
With a shout, others rushed out like an arrow!
"The whole city attacks!!"
Eight hundred soldiers and two thousand people shouted in unison, like a tail wing, rushing out of the southern city gate with Gu Nanchen!
