Chapter 238 Jagged ambition

The so-called eventful autumn is a portrayal of the entire world in this autumn. Almost all the princes in the world widened their eyes in shock, paying attention to the battlefields of fierce confrontation at any time.

The war on the battlefield of Qi State has not stopped, and the wars in Zhongzhou have started again. In the north, Yan State, several major battles are in full swing. The situation is complicated, and no one dares to predict the outcome. Among them, all the movements from Zhao State are particularly incredible.

If we follow the common sense of the world, after Chu Lie's death, Zhao State was besieged by the princes before the New Year, which was considered to be a damage to its vitality. We should rest well and keep a low profile to restore our strength. However, under the leadership of the young King Zhao, the people of Zhao State did not restrain themselves, but instead sent troops from both sides to start their expansion and competition for hegemony. This was a bit abnormal.

What shocked the princes in particular was that the Zhao army had won many battles. Whether in the battlefield of Qi or in the northern Yan area, they were invincible and achieved brilliant victories. No one could not be afraid of such strength. This is a true strength.

The capital of Wei State Daliang was full of murderous aura. The King of Wei had convened several meetings in a row and finally decided to send troops today. He was a little hesitant. Several important ministers did not support the Wei State's army's acts rashly at this time. If we follow the most stable approach, of course we would wait for a while. When those battlefields are truly successful and failure, it would not be too late for Wei State to act again.

However, the King of Wei could not resist the queen's crying and urging in his ears all day long. He had no choice but to make a decision.

Since their best son Nangong and his death in Zhongzhou, the queen has never laughed again. Later, she led her troops to attack Zhao State, and suffered defeat in defeat, and the King of Wei was also seriously ill. While taking care of him, the queen's biggest wish was that the King of Wei should recover quickly, and then send troops to attack Zhao State again, kill the culprit, and avenge Nangong.

Of course, this matter was not as simple as I thought. After the Wei State was frustrated, it finally settled down. If the situation was unclear, if it failed again, no one could bear the consequences. But the hatred in his heart made the King of Wei no longer willing to wait any longer.

The King of Wei and his ministers knew all kinds of news from Zhao State. Since he had made a decision, other ministers with different opinions closed their mouths and stopped talking. The King of Wei has been very cruel recently, and if his head was chopped off because of his loyal words, it would be more than worth it. Some time ago, the old Prime Minister died at home inexplicably, which was already very telling. The new Prime Minister is the queen's younger brother Shenfu, and the dead Nangong Qie master. The King of Wei asked him to take charge of the major affairs, and it is very likely to be prepared for the heir to establish the second son born to the queen.

In such a situation, no one dared to disobey the Queen and Shen's father's intentions casually, so as not to cause trouble for themselves. Therefore, when the resolution to send troops to Zhao was determined, the rest was to mobilize the army and prepare to set off.

As two neighbors who have been war-torn, the borders of Wei and Zhao have maintained very strict vigilance. If you want to launch a large-scale attack, it will inevitably be another iron-blooded battle. However, according to the news from the secret spies, we can know that the most elite troops of Zhao are now on Qi and Yan are fighting on both sides. If you attack Zhao at this time, it is the best time.

The King of Wei gritted his teeth and mobilized an army of 80,000 at once. This time the general he sent was General Yan Hu. In order to succeed in one fell swoop, he took the cost. Not only did he equip this army with the sharpest sword armor, but he also used a secret weapon, which was the long-arm crossbow!

The last defeat of the Wei army at Pingling Pass made the King of Wei and his ministers hate and regret it. Because they later learned that the reason why the people of Zhao suddenly became so powerful was because they had a new weapon called the Shenji Crossbow. According to the description of the secret spies, they immediately understood that this was transformed based on the crossbow arrows of Wei.

The long-arm crossbow was created by the descendants of Ou Yezi, who was loyal to the King of Wei. After they were made, they were presented to the King of Wei and were regarded as the most powerful secret weapon in the army. Due to various restrictions, they were not manufactured on a large scale.

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. When Prince Wei went to Zhongzhou, he took away a few cards with sternly. When he was killed by the Luo River, all the long crossbows fell into the hands of the people of Zhao. Chu Jiangmian was as if he had a treasure, and immediately transformed such a powerful Divine Crossbow, killing the Wei army on the battlefield. This lesson was simply too profound.

After learning from the pain, the King of Wei simply ordered the smelters of Wei to make long-arm crossbows at all costs. In just over half a year, tens of thousands of long-arm crossbows with excellent workmanship and huge lethality were completed. Today, they finally came in handy.

The 80,000 army was equipped with 30,000 long-arm crossbows and hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows. If an enemy army of the same number on the battlefield meets, the power of the crossbow arrows is enough to shoot the opponent down. What's more, the combat power of Wei Wuzhang is definitely not comparable to that of other vassal armies. Their battle with the remaining troops of Zhao State would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

"General Yan Hu, I have handed you all the elites in the box. I hope you can defeat the enemy and defeat Longcheng after you go!"

Yan Hu, who was burly and full of iron armor, took over the King of Wei’s Zhuangxing wine and drank it all in one go.

"Don't worry, if you have such an army in hand, the general can sweep the world for the general. A mere Zhao Guolong City will be tied in one battle! If there is any mistake, the general will come to see you."

The King of Wei was overjoyed. He praised his words and deeds and immediately gave him gold and swords. He patted the brave general's arm with gratitude, with infinite emotion in his voice.

"Zhao State's clan Chu Jiangmian suddenly ascended to a high position and was extremely ambitious. He sent troops to invade Yan State and even had an irreconcilable hatred with Wei State. If the general can avenge this hatred for me, I will definitely be rewarded by the day of my triumphant return. The Yan family should share the glory with the royal family!"

Yan Hu fell to the ground and promised to thank him loudly. Such a guarantee of wealth and honor was the supreme glory for a general. He had made up his mind that no matter how much resistance the Zhao army resisted, he would advance and not retreat, and fight to the death.

Under the setting sun, the King of Wei watched his army leave the city and engage in a war related to the country's destiny for him. Shortly after the army left, the latest news from the battlefield of Yan State shocked him again.

The Yan State army was defeated all the way, and even their royal capital Jicheng was lost. Now most of the land from the west of Jicheng has fallen into the hands of the Zhao people. Yan Wang Dan and his royal court ministers fled in a hurry to the northeast border and temporarily stood firm. It is said that the reason why the Zhao army did not take advantage of the victory to eliminate them was because the Hu people marched south and the two sides had already launched a fierce battle on the land of Yan State.

This news made the King of Wei mixed joys and sorrows. There is no doubt that the Zhao State, which obtained most of the land in Yan State, now has a large territory controlled by the actual control, and has dominated the princes. If the Zhao State army really gained a firm foothold and gradually controlled all the newly obtained land in its hands, then the Zhao State will be terrible in the future.

"I hope God will bless you to break through Dragon City in one fell swoop and achieve the kingly dominance of the Great Wei!"

King Wei looked into the distance with a drowning look and prayed secretly. The dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the storm was coming. The pattern of the world is about to change greatly! Perhaps, in the next period of time, it will be the most critical period to determine what the general trend of the world is.

If the Wei Wuzhu's surprise attack could succeed in one move, could Zhao State withstand the pressure of three-way combat? If the Zhao army was defeated, Zhao State would no longer exist. If the Zhao army won, then a new overlord would emerge and would no longer be able to control it!

Just as many princes, including the King of Wei, turned their attention to the direction of Yan State, on this blood-stained land, there were thousands of feet of dust, broken swords and broken swords, and a fierce battle had just ended.

A hundred miles northwest of Jicheng, the Hu cavalry temporarily stopped the horse's hooves. Since stepping out of the grassland border, tens of thousands of troops have not stopped for a moment. They drove straight into the territory of Yan, as if they were entering a land of no one.

The war between the people of Zhao and Yan over the past few months has caused the people in these places to run almost the same. So within these hundreds of miles, they did not loot much property. This made the hopeful Hu people extremely angry.

The cavalry that received the request of the envoys of Yan State to send troops to send troops belong to the Yelu tribe. Among the four ancient tribes with the largest power in the entire grassland, the Yelu tribe ranks second, second only to the Hutu tribe where King Hu was. Since the Huyan tribe suffered a severe defeat and was seriously injured in the last time, many places they occupied on the grassland were occupied by the Yelu tribe, and their sphere of influence has been expanded even more. It is normal for the survival of the weak on the grassland.

The leader who led tens of thousands of cavalry was named Yelu Xiong. Needless to say, he was also an extremely powerful figure. When he was carrying thousands of cavalry, crossing thousands of mountains and rolling the ground, he almost looked down on everything in front of him and directly rushed towards the first enemy he encountered.

However, what he did not expect was that the first battle of the Yelu Army on the grassland encountered serious setbacks. Moreover, it was the infantry against the cavalry that caused him to suffer a big loss.

The sun sets on the hillside in the west, but it is not the direction of the grassland. Yelu Xiong wipes away the blood on the scimitar and puts it at his feet. The scout who went out to find out the news finally came back.

"Did you understand, who is blocking the way?"
