The wind outside the Great Wall was desolate, and the flags on the field were pulled and rattled, and the soldiers under the flags sat around and ate dry food with the boiled beef in the pot. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest

Talking and laughing with each other, the campfire was burning hot to dissipate the cold wind outside the fortress, put the hot beef into the mouth, drink the broth and bite the dry food, the soldiers' faces were burned red, such a day is Immortals do not change.

Talking and laughing loudly, laughing and scolding the team of Huns who were about to collapse just now.

A man who looked like a general was sitting among the soldiers, wearing a general robe, his beard and hair were half white, he looked like he was over half a hundred years old, he looked at the soldiers laughing, holding a bowl of meat in his hand, he shook his head with a smile, and took a sip of the broth After finishing his drink, he stood up and rolled up the cloak behind him.

"Pack up and go back to customs!"

"Yes!" The soldier's high-pitched voice echoed over the field for a long time.

It was such an army that made the Xiongnu dare not approach the border of Zhao State for several years, and fled after hearing the news.

Zhao's army in the northern border retreated from the Huns in the northern border for several years, and the northern border was sharp from outside the border.

"Woo."

With a dull sound, the city gate opened bit by bit, and more than a thousand Xiaoqi walked in from outside the city gate. The horses under him are very handsome, with a cluster of horse bows and arrows on their backs, and the riding spear in their hands is held by their side.

The armor on his body is not heavy, even a little thin, but it protects the most vulnerable parts of his body, and the most important thing is that it does not affect his actions. It can be seen that thousands of people are equestrians extraordinary, even though the army is a bit crowded, they still control the horses steadily and march in an orderly manner.

After Qianqi, there were dozens of chariots driving, and the soldiers on the chariots seemed to be still gossiping as they leaned against the railing.

The thousands of infantry who walked at the end walked behind the chariots and riders, carrying long spears in their hands and bows and crossbows on their backs, holding some furs and armor in their hands as if they were their trophies.

At the frontier pass, the soldiers who greeted them entering the city looked enviously at those returning from the city. Over the years, the Huns have seen less and less of them, and it is not as easy as before to kill a few more military exploits.

On the city gate and above, the majestic pass named Yanmen stands on the frontier plain, silent, but it can call the tigers and wolves outside the region, and no one dares to violate it.

The general walked back to the barracks of the barracks, but saw a soldier really standing there waiting, and he was not dressed as a soldier from the north, and the soldiers from the north who passed by also cast suspicious glances from time to time.

The general frowned and stepped forward.

Seeing the general approaching, the soldiers greeted him and saluted, "Greetings to General Li Mu."

The name of the general of the northern border was Li Mu.

If Gu Nan heard this name here, she might be very familiar with it.

"Well, don't be too polite." Li Mu raised his hand: "I don't know?"

"My subordinates, move to the king's department."

"Your Majesty?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes sideways, seeing that there was no one nearby, he looked at him again, and said to the visitor seriously.

"Since it is the king's subordinate, I would have neglected it."

If it was really Wang Qian, it would naturally not be a trivial matter.

Although Li Mu has lived in the northern border for a long time, he already has some understanding of the situation in the Zhao country.

What's more, it was Qin Yan's war against Zhao Qing at the same time, such a major event, it would be difficult for people in the world not to know.

Li Mu already had some understanding of what arrangements King Zhao would make when he sent people here.

I am afraid that it is related to the survival of Zhao Guo.

"The general speaks seriously. The next time I came here, I just sent the king's handwriting. I didn't stop there, and I didn't say anything negligent." The visitor took out a roll of animal skin from his arms and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu took the animal skin, spread it out in his hand, and quickly read the book on it.

Frowning.

Has the Qin army already suppressed the situation

It was a little faster than expected, Li Mu's face was a little dignified, and he slowly rolled up the animal skin in his hand.

The visitor took out a token and handed it to Li Mu.

"Your Majesty wants General Li to go south as soon as possible to break the siege of Handan."

"The last general." Li Mu's hand paused for a while, and finally took the token.

The token in his hand felt cold, Li Mu held it tightly in his hand.

They will probably be Zhao Guo's last battle force.

"Take orders."

The clouds in the night are gloomy, and the wind blows in through the window, making the oil lamp on the table sway, the bright fire flickers, and the light and dark flicker in the room.

There was a person sitting in front of the oil lamp, and the firelight reflected her cheeks, illuminating the armor on that person's face, and the brutality on the armor was even more ferocious under the firelight.

Seeming to be a little tired, the man let out a sigh of relief, gently removed the armor on his face, took off the armor and put it on the table.

A dazed face appeared in the firelight.

Gu Nan looked at the finger-thin bamboo tube in his hand, opened it, and dropped a bamboo stick from it.

He took out the bamboo stick, read it, broke it and put it in the oil lamp in front of him.

The bamboo sticks fell into the wick, gradually scorching black with the firelight.

According to the military order of the King of Qin, the three armies united into one and attacked Handan.

The Qin armies of Yan Yu, Han Yang, and Anyang began to march at the same time, and 300,000 people began to gather in one place. The three-way joint army, the commander-in-chief was handed over to General Heng Gan, who led the heavy army to cross the Zhangshui River in the south to attack Handan, and Gu Nan and Wang Jian unified their troops to attack from the west and northwest.

Handan holds only 100,000 troops.

Zhao Wangqian stood at the head of Handan City, looking at Zhangshui and the city wall in front of Handan City with uncertain eyes.

The Qin State encircled and came. If Handan was broken, there would be no way to retreat.

On the other hand, the Yan army entered the Qing Dynasty again. If this battle is defeated, Zhao Guo will really be burned.

"Li Mu, how long will General Li come to help?"

Zhao Wangqian clenched his hands behind his back, trembling slightly, and asked the person beside him.

"Your Majesty, General Li came to help from the northern border. In a short time, his army will be difficult to reach."

"Where's Qin Jun?"

"Three Route Qin Army, Qin Army, I don't know."

Zhao Wang's body seemed to shake for a while, his face turned pale, and he barely stabilized his body by propping his hands on the top of the wall.

Looking at the outside of the city, he didn't know what he was thinking. Soon he seemed to think of something, as if grabbing some life-saving straw, and asked the people around him: "Pingyang! How many troops are there in Pingyang? "

"Your Majesty." The person standing next to him showed embarrassment: "Now that the Qin army is encircling him, if Hu Zhe leads the Pingyang army to come to help, he may be ambushed by the Qin army."

"If Pingyang is broken again, there will be no military defense on the banks of the Zhangshui River."

King Zhao turned his head, looked at the man gritted his teeth, and asked word by word: "This king is asking you, Pingyang, how many troops do you need?"

"Ten, one hundred thousand."

Zhao Wang turned his head with a gloomy face: "Let Hu Zhe lead an army of 100,000 to help."

"yes"

The Zhao flag above Handan City was fluttering, and the strong wind seemed to tear the flag down.
