In countless historical records later, the death of King Zhao and Chu Lie was undoubtedly a very important historical event. Many of the magnificent waves that occurred in late spring and early summer began because of the death of this king.

When the situation inside and outside Longcheng seemed confusing, the borders around Zhao State were already full of war fires, and the army approached step by step. Whether it was the ministers above and below the Wang Court or the people from all directions, they all felt panic in their hearts. The morale of the Zhao State army was inevitably affected by many influences. This was originally impossible. Even if a general was a powerful general, it was not easy to resist the enemy's advance in this situation. However, it was almost impossible to win and turn the situation around in a short period of time.

The death of the famous general of Zhao State Yuan Rong is the best proof. Although objectively speaking, the biggest reason for his defeat was because he was too old and encountered the attacks of the two most powerful coalition forces of Qin and Wei in the world, so he was defeated by the Qin general Wang Jian. But from another perspective, the death of Zhao King attacked the soldiers of the Zhao army and caused the morale to be weak, which affected the performance of combat levels. This is also a fact that must be admitted.

At such a critical moment, if there is a battlefield failure on one hand, the consequences will be extremely serious. The Zhao army stationed on the western front of Pingyangguang to Shuomen Pass is almost the most elite Zhao army except the Dragon Cavalry Army. In this great defeat, nearly 80,000 troops lost nearly 50,000, and the remaining 20,000 troops were unable to resist the troops of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, so they had to retreat to Wutong Pass and guard the last pass, thinking that the support of the Zhao army in the rear would be as long as possible.

However, the defenders of Wutong Pass did not realize that Longcheng could no longer send troops to support them. After King Zhao died, no one had such courage. After a few days of bloody battles, what they waited for was not reinforcements. An envoy came out of Longcheng to drive hundreds of miles and conveyed the latest combat orders to them.

"What! We must preserve our strength and withdraw from Wutong Pass... Who gave the order?"

When the general of Wutong Pass heard the order from the envoy, he widened his eyes in surprise and almost thought he had heard it wrong. Since General Yuanrong was killed, all Zhao troops on the Western Front had unified command. Against the powerful enemy, he had already sworn with his soldiers to guard Wutong Pass until the last battle was fought! But now he suddenly heard such an order, which was beyond his expectations.

"This is the order given by His Highness the Prince himself! Why, do you have any questions about the general?"

The messenger who came under the protection of several Qianji Pavilion spies was the servant beside the queen. Seeing the doubts of the generals in front of him, the expression on his face seemed very serious.

"Wutong Pass is the last important pass to guard the defense line west of Longcheng. If this pass is lost, the Qin and Wei army will march straight into the sky, and half of Zhao's country will be in danger! Doesn't the prince know the serious consequences of doing so?"

The fierce battle over the past few days has left the general, just like his lieutenants, injured himself. His eyes were filled with blood, and he looked at each other with his subordinates. He really didn't understand why such an order was there!

"The prince naturally has his own reason for doing this. The general only needs to obey the orders, and there is no need to ask any other questions!"

The messenger answered him coldly. One of the main reasons why the Zhao army was able to resist the Northern Hu cavalry and become one of the strongest troops in the world in recent years was that the military discipline was strict and the orders were imposed. All soldiers in the army had to obey orders in order to win repeatedly.

"The king unfortunately passed away, and Zhao State was attacked by the enemy. This is the critical moment of survival and death. The soldiers in our army do not know anything else, but only know how to kill the enemy! At this Wutong junction, all the soldiers have already made a blood oath to survive and die with Guancheng... If this order from His Highness of the Prince is to preserve his strength, we will be willing to disobey!"

However, unexpectedly, the generals and colleges led by the general defending the city were all tampered with their necks and looked firm. For several days, they have fought hard. Five or sixty thousand brothers in the former army were killed and killed by the enemy, and both sides have been dead. If they abandoned the city like this, it would be more uncomfortable than killing them! Any bloody man in the army would never understand.

"Don't obey the order, it's the crime of beheading! Are you not afraid of death?"

The messenger selected by Chu Jiangmian was born with a cold face, with a gentle smile inseparable from it, and he had a knife in his words. The general and his subordinates looked at each other, holding the sword in their hands tightly, showing a sad feeling on their face.

"Who is still afraid of death now? If you resist the order, you will die, and killing the enemy on the top of the city will die. So I hope we will die as much as possible! Please go back and tell Your Highness the Prince that all the soldiers will be born in Wutong Pass and die in this city even if they die!"

There was silence above and below the city. Such open disobedience was already a serious crime in the Zhao army. However, the soldiers were worried about nothing. The envoy sighed softly, and then whispered to the general defending the city.

"Your Highness the Prince is indeed as expected... Come with me!"

The man fighting with iron blood was a little confused. However, when he followed the messenger into the arrow tower at the top of the city and stayed for about a quarter of an hour before coming out, although he had tried his best to suppress his emotions, the comrades in the army who were with him day and night could still notice the faint expression of excitement on the general's face. He waved and several lieutenants gathered together.

"Let's take action now! Time is tight, all the soldiers of the army will withdraw from Wutong Pass tonight!"

The lieutenants were shocked and did not understand what had happened in the moment. When someone wanted to ask again, they heard the general whisper to them.

"Your Highness the Prince has a strange plan to defeat the enemy! Everyone doesn't have to die. Keep their strength well. You don't have to wait too long to avenge General Yuanrong and the dead soldiers with the knife in your hand!"

It was on that night that everyone in Wutong Pass quietly withdrew. When the next day, when the vanguard of the Qin and Wei coalition forces wanted to attack the pass again, they were surprised to find that there was only an empty city left in front of them.

The vanguard general who led the army was both surprised and happy. He quickly sent the brave men to climb up the city. After carefully checking the whole city, he confirmed that there was no ambush. Then he opened the city gate and ordered the army to rush in and completely occupy Wutong Pass.

The battle at Wutong Pass for several days has been extremely tragic. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the overall combat plan, General Wang Jian has issued a death order to the vanguard troops, so that they must take down the vanguard city within two days at the latest. Otherwise, they will be severely punished. The unfavorable combat has already made General Pioneer extremely anxious. Now that he has suddenly conquered so smoothly, he naturally dared not be negligent. He immediately sent someone to report to Wang Jian and the Wei general who were in charge of the central army camp behind.

The Qin general Wang Jian was also very pleased after hearing this. According to his prediction, two days were already the deadline. However, he did not expect that the people of Zhao could not bear it anymore and fled overnight. In this way, saving two days, the combat plan he formulated was very abundant.

"General Cheli, the gate of Wutong Pass has been opened. Go forward and go straight to Longcheng. In front of our army, Zhao State has no longer had any danger to defend... Hahaha!"

General Che Li, the Wei general who led the Wei army to fight side by side with the Qin army, was also a powerful general. This man was tyrannical and bloodthirsty. Under his command, 50,000 Wei Wushou showed off his power and was very powerful. The last time outside Pingyang Pass, the veteran Yuan Rong was shot into the vital point by him and then lost his life. For this reason, he had received generous rewards from the King of Wei personally. The killing of famous generals of Zhao was a great contribution. It can be foreseeable that when the troops returned to Wei soon, General Che Li would definitely be summoned by the King of Wei himself, and would be unparalleled.

However, he was not satisfied now. Although Yuan Rong was very famous, he was just a veteran and was not strong enough to win. Since Zhao State had no powerful figures worthy of attention after King Zhao's death, then he would have to achieve greater merits in this battle, which was worth it!

"General Wang, it is very obvious that the Zhao army has lost its fighting spirit. Its destruction is only a matter of time! Since this is the case, we should immediately rest the three armies, travel day and night, and go straight to Longcheng... If time is enough, maybe we can see with our own eyes what Zhao Wang Chulie looks like after he dies! Hahaha!"

Che Li laughed to the sky, looking very arrogant. If it was really as he said, after attacking Longcheng, if King Zhao's coffin had not yet been buried, he would not mind taking his head back and offering it to King Wei.

Wang Jian frowned secretly, and despised Che Li's vulgarity. In any case, King Zhao is a hero of a generation. His heroic record of defeating Hu Qi several times has been admired by everyone in the world. Not only is Wang Jian, who is the general of the enemy country, admires him very much, but even King Qin Nie Feng, who talks about King Zhao with his ministers and generals, he also appreciates each other and praises him very much. Such a heroic and powerful figure can fight with him for life and death, but cannot insult him with words.

However, now is the stage of cooperation between Qin and Wei, so Wang Jian naturally would not reveal this emotion on his face. He stood up and began to convey the order loudly.
