I’m The King Chapter 271: :Withdraw
Zhao Qi's tens of thousands of private troops were exhausted during this battle, and those who fled here with him were all Zhao Guo's standing army led by Zhao Meng. After the panic, this army was still Showed a quality different from that of ordinary private troops, and quickly began to prepare to defend the city.
Tan Feng sent out cavalry every day to patrol the surroundings of the city of Chao, in case the mainland of Zhao State sent reinforcements, but Gao Yuan was not idle either, Meng Chong and Xu Yuan under his command did not know where the bowl came from Thick and thin moso bamboos were dragged under the city wall one by one, and then buried at a distance of three or four hundred steps from the city wall. Surprised, even Tan Feng is inexplicable.
"Gao Yuan, the bamboo shoots you sent are delicious, but why did you bring these bamboos here?" bamboo, Tan Feng frowned.
Gao Yuan said with a smile: "We have few soldiers, so we can't attack the city, but we have to have some fun, right? You came just in time, let's see the excitement! Little Yanzi, give it a try!"
Yan Haibo laughed, and walked over dragging two bundles of ropes, which were firmly tied to the top of the bamboo. A piece of sheepskin was tied to the end of the ropes. Several soldiers dragged the two ends of the ropes, shouted, and dragged He walked away, and in the blink of an eye, two bamboos that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl were pulled back, and the angle became wider and wider. A soldier who had been waiting on the side immediately picked up a stone weighing more than ten kilograms, and put it on the sheepskin , the soldier holding the rope roared, and let go at the same time, the moso bamboo suddenly bounced back, and the stone was thrown out with a whirring sound, and flew towards the city where hundreds of infantry were.
"Falling rocks!" Tan Feng shouted.
Gao Yuan and the others did not answer. They watched the stone fly in the air, and when it was about to reach the city wall, they were exhausted. Sigh.
"No, no, no!" Gao Yuan waved his hands again and again, "Bamboo is not strong enough, one can't do it, tie the two together!"
With an order, the soldiers are busy again.
Gao Yuan turned his head to look at Tan Feng, who had suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "We have few soldiers, so we can't attack the city, but people can't go up, it doesn't mean that stones can't go up, some time ago, God kept raining, this time , I’ll throw stones at them, even if I can’t kill them, I’ll make them restless.”
Tan Feng shook his head, "Thank you for thinking it out."
Gao Yuan laughed, "Unintentionally, I found a large piece of moso bamboo not far away. Make the best use of it. This is where we are. We are covered by General Tan's cavalry, and the Zhao army in the city dare not come out. In the battle, if I change the place, Zhao Jun will come out, I can't stop it, the bamboo that I have worked so hard to bury will be chopped down by them in a blink of an eye."
Tan Feng's eyes glowed, "You hit them hard, and I'll be ready at the side. If they can't bear to come out of the city to chop your bamboo, I'll take the opportunity to kill them, and cut him down to make a river of blood."
"They won't be so stupid." Gao Yuan shook his head.
"Zhao Qi is already stupid enough!" Tan Feng said cheerfully, "How else would you dare to fight us by the Yishui River?"
Gao Yuan is also great joy. Zhao Qi's decisive battle by the Yishui River is due to his blind confidence in Zhao Jun's combat power, and secondly, he was blinded by hatred. If he really calmed down, he would not commit such a low-level crime. wrong.
The actions of the Yan army outside the city of Miu, of course the inside of the city already knew what the bamboos were for, but after the first stone fell on the city wall, there was no reason why they didn't understand, Zhao Qi, Both Zhao Meng and Zhao Meng rushed to the city wall, looking at the dense bamboo forest outside the city, they both gasped.
Below the city, the simplest catapult that has been re-prepared is ready to go. Following Gao Yuan's order, another stone flies into the air. This time, the speed and strength are much stronger.
Everyone's eyes are following the trajectory of this stone, no matter whether it is above or below the city.
The eyes of Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng also followed the trajectory of the stone, watching helplessly as the stone flew to the top of the city wall, then fell rapidly, and with a bang, the roof of the city building was smashed A big hole was opened, and there was a burst of exclamation in the city.
Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng's expressions are extremely ugly.
"What can I do?" Looking at Zhao Meng, Zhao Qi asked.
Zhao Meng thought for a while, "Can you collect the cloth in the city and put it on the city, and use the cloth to slow down the impact of these stones?"
"Confused!" Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "Do you want to turn the city into a sea of flames? If you do this, a burst of rockets will shoot up from below, and the city will be in chaos."
The two of them looked at each other for a while, but there was nothing they could do except to fight hard. Besides sending troops out of the city to cut off these bamboos, was there any other good way? Feng's thousands of cavalry were eyeing them like a tiger. If they left the city, they would kill themselves.
Under the city, all the soldiers cheered and Gao Yuan laughed, "Come on, do the same for me and hit them with stones."
It didn't take long, the rows of moso bamboo shelves were pulled back, and following Yan Haibo's order, hundreds of stones flew across the air and flew straight to the city wall, the sound of rumbling was endless, There was chaos in the city, and soldiers were running around, looking for places to hide.
The soldiers guarded Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng and retreated to a safe place. Looking at the flying rocks in the sky, the two looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.
Under the city of confusion, the high-character flag fluttering turned out to be Zhao Jun's nightmare. It is conceivable that Zhao Jun has stumbled under this person again and again. The loss of the whole city has planted the root of disaster for the defeat of this war. Zhao Dong's death has made Zhao Qi feel heartbroken. Fei, now it seems that even they will become the prey of this lofty height.
Gao Yuan previously estimated that the main force of the Yan army would appear in the city of Chaos the day after he arrived, but to his surprise, three days later, Zhou Yuan was still not seen under the city of Chaos The main force, this time, even Tan Feng couldn't sit still, and sent a team of cavalry back to find the main force of the Yan army.
However, during the past three days, Gao Yuan and Tan Feng have not been idle. Every day, bombarding the city with endless stones has become their greatest pleasure. There is no way to stand up.
However, on the second day after the bombardment started from Gao Yuan, the effect was not very good. Zhao Qi and Zhao Meng also understood that Gao Yuan was just looking for fun, and he had no intention of attacking the city at all. Under the attack of the rain's stone bullets, his soldiers had already rushed up. In the next two days, as soon as the stone bullets flew up, Zhao Jun hid in the cave for hiding soldiers in the city. .
Of course Gao Yuan will not take the initiative to attack Chaocheng. There are more than 10,000 Zhao Guo's standing troops in the city. Many people have experienced a bit, and he doesn't want these soldiers to die in attacking the strong city. In the future, there will be many places that can be used!
Gao Yuan made up his mind to swallow these more than 3,000 people in one gulp. Gao Yuan naturally has his intentions for the seemingly joking attacks every day. The things they do, let them see that Zhao Guo's standing army, the so-called second most powerful country in the world, dare not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle in front of them. This makes these soldiers full of ambition and confidence. This kind of confidence will greatly help the combat effectiveness of the army.
Gao Yuan is very familiar with the trick of the fox pretending to be the tiger. With Tan Feng's thousands of cavalry watching the tiger, does Zhao Meng have the courage to come out?
The cavalry sent by Tan Feng returned, but to their surprise, what the cavalry brought back was Zhou Yuan's general order.
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw?" Tan Feng opened his mouth wide, he could hardly believe his ears. Don’t want any more meat? The person staying in this city is Zhao Qi, a big shot in Zhao State, and a close friend of King Zhao. If he is caught, it will be of great benefit to our Yan State.”
The messenger bowed humbly, "General Tan, I don't know why you want to withdraw the troops, but the general is now stationed in Fangcheng, and all military operations have stopped."
"Recovering the five cities is not our strategic goal this time. How can we fall short for the sake of climbing the mountain?" Gao Yuan was also puzzled.
"Lieutenant Gao County, the villain doesn't know. When you two return to Fangcheng, you will naturally know the reason." Facing Gao Yuan, the messenger maintained the same respect. Among them, it can be said that everyone knows, everyone knows, and the name is loud.
"I'm afraid something has happened!" Tan Feng took a deep breath.
"Domestic?" Gao Yuan asked.
Tan Feng shook his head, "It's definitely not. There won't be any troubles in the country now. There must be a big trouble in the Central Plains." If you don't eat the fat that is in your mouth, then there must be something bigger than eating the city of Chaos and catching Zhao Qi.
"Withdraw the troops!" rs
