These Tang soldiers who suddenly appeared were not only extremely brave, but also very courageous!
At this moment, a man, whose leader had been shot dead by a stray arrow from the Zhao army, suddenly raised his arms and called out to lead the remaining panicked subordinates, and as if with divine help, they turned around and attacked the Zhao army!
There was another person who also temporarily usurped the throne and resisted the local offensive of the Zhao army.
Such "strange things" keep happening on the battlefield...
Seeing this, the morale of the Tang army suddenly became high. Some Tang army captains and generals who felt inferior to them hurriedly handed over the command to those "new guys" - if it were normal times, this would certainly be unimaginable, but at this moment the Tang Kingdom had reached the most dangerous moment, and their own lives were hanging by a thread, so how could they be reluctant to give up the power in their hands!
Moreover, what if they gain an advantage? After that, wouldn't they be able to get a great credit
Due to the influence of many factors, they were very happy to hand over power. As a result, the Tang army "blossomed" everywhere, and each unit seemed to have suddenly become an army. Some defended and some attacked, and they advanced and retreated in moderation. They actually managed to withstand the fierce attack of the Zhao army that was several times larger than theirs!
"Soldiers! Zhao Gou is not good at fighting on water! Even though they have a large number of people, they are actually vulnerable to attack!"
"Yes! Their general is dead, and their fighting spirit is gone! Everyone, fight bravely!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
There was a loud shout of killing in the field!
As the Zhao army's vanguard suffered setbacks, the Tang army began to launch small-scale surprise attacks, which were successful frequently. Although it was not enough to reverse the numerical disadvantage, the war... had turned from a bright situation at the beginning to a stalemate!
Seeing this scene, the King of Tang was simply stunned. His staff also looked at each other, and then shouted in unison!
"God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
"May God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
"We held on! We held on to Da Zhao's attack!"
The remaining ministers and kings of the Tang Dynasty cheered together, and a small flame of hope was ignited... At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves in the distance. It was a Tang soldier guarding the rear who rode his horse and came over. His face was covered with dust, and he shouted loudly before he got close: "Your Majesty! A great victory at Qililing! Our army ambushed and killed 10,000 Zhao soldiers and captured their general Yan Wei! General Yi Le specially sent me to go ahead and report to Your Majesty. He will gather the entire army and come here to reinforce!"
Upon hearing this, the Tang emperor and his ministers were all dumbfounded. At the critical moment, the Tang king was still calmer: "Who is Yi Le? I will definitely reward him handsomely!"
"Your Majesty! General Yi Le was originally a commoner, but he was given this task because the original general passed away!"
"Good! There really is a wise man in the wild!" The King of Tang didn't care about this man's background and slapped his thigh. "Pass on my order to appoint Yi Le as General Annan and order him to come quickly to serve the king and protect him!"
"Yes! I would like to thank the king for his grace on behalf of General Yi!"
Just as this voice fell, another rider came galloping from a distance: "Your Majesty! Lord Zeng Fan used the strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory and defeated the invading Zhao army, killing 5,000 enemies! The crisis in Leiyang has been resolved, Lord Zeng Fan has already gone out with the army, and will arrive at the battlefield by noon!"
Upon hearing this, the Tang Dynasty's rulers and ministers were stunned again - who the hell is this Zeng Fan
But after listening to what that person said, they realized that this was actually an unknown clerk. Due to accidental reasons, he succeeded in offering advice and defeated the enemy, lifting the siege. Now he was treated as an honored guest by the local garrison... It was also because of him that Leiyang County of the Tang Dynasty quickly assembled a group of troops and was on the way to serve the king!
Hearing this, the Tang King was so excited that his hands were shaking: "My dear ministers, pinch me! This... Leiyang has been under siege for a month, and I am unable to rescue it. It turned out to be like this... Am I dreaming!"
After these words fell, an old man with gray hair came out and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! You are not dreaming, God bless the Tang Dynasty! This is God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
As time went by, good news came from all over the battlefields, mostly about defeating the enemy, killing the enemy, capturing the enemy generals, or at least defending against the enemy generals' fierce attacks...
For a moment, it seemed as if countless powerful people emerged from the Tang Kingdom, gathering from all directions, all to come here to serve the king!
After hearing this series of news, the King of Tang was at a loss. He looked up at the sky and shed tears, "How incompetent I am! It is only at this critical moment that I realize that my Tang Dynasty has so many loyal ministers and brave generals! I... I missed so many talented people in the opposition. I am really stupid, stupid, stupid!!"
"Your Majesty, please do not blame yourself. This is a time of crisis when loyal ministers are known! God will not destroy our Tang Dynasty! Now you can see that our army is already in high spirits ahead. You should boost morale and launch a counterattack!"
An important official shouted loudly, and the King of Tang suddenly came back to his senses. He gritted his teeth and drew the long sword from his waist: "That's right! The wise men in the opposition are willing to risk their lives to help this national crisis! As the king of a country, how can I fall behind!"
"Bring me my armor! I will brave the arrows and fight with all the soldiers!" The King of Tang raised his sword and pointed it forward, charging forward first. "Soldiers, follow me and charge! Counterattack the Zhao army!"
"I am willing to follow the king! To this national crisis!"
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, kill all the Zhao dogs!"
The morale of the Tang soldiers reached its peak. They quickly protected the King of Tang in the center, rushed out madly, and counterattacked. Hundreds of thousands of people launched a hysterical counterattack against the Zhao army like mad lions!
If it had been before, Emperor Zhao would have simply thought that this was just a trapped beast fighting desperately and could have been easily suppressed, but now
“Impossible… Impossible!”
"I am the true emperor! My Great Zhao is home to many brave generals and wise counselors. It is a country that has never seen such a large number of heroes! How could it be... How could it be!"
No one knows better than Emperor Zhao why the situation has developed into what it is now, but it is precisely because he knows it clearly that he is... the most afraid!
"More than 200 top talents were sent to the Tang Kingdom in a row? No! This can't be a normal 'explosion'! I don't believe it!"
But... no matter how much Zhao Shaodi roared in his heart, the ghostly voice in his ears continued to ring, like a cry for death...
"The 272nd person on the list, super commander, Xing Han, assigned to Tang Kingdom!"
"Introduction to special talents: Xing Han recruits soldiers, the more the better."
"The explosion is over."
When this sound fell, the battle could actually be declared over...
…
…
It was late autumn, the 316th year of the Zhao calendar.
The young emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty personally led the army to fight the Tang Dynasty at Bai Ma, and they won at first but were defeated later. They fled all the way and retreated to Bailing, losing more than 100,000 soldiers and dozens of famous generals. All the princes who accompanied them died in the chaos...
The world was shocked.
