Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 550

Zhao Kuo looked up at the eunuch Ling in front of him, and said with a smile, "How is everything going smoothly?"

Chapter 1044 This is a trap and we fell for it

If King Zhao saw this scene, he would definitely turn pale with shock.

How is Zhao Kuo still alive?

How could it appear in the eunuch order's room?

It's a pity that the current Zhao Wang still doesn't know about this scene.

The eunuch ordered Zhao Kuo to salute respectfully, and then said: "Please rest assured, everything is going on according to the plan and steps of the king."

The eunuch Ling's attitude is even more humble than when facing Zhao Wang, because the eunuch Ling is very clear that after tonight, the man in front of him will become the most powerful man in the entire Zhao Kingdom !The eunuch ordered one five ten and reported all the situation to Zhao Kuo in detail.

Zhao Kuo listened to these words with a smile, and nodded slightly from time to time.

These reactions made by King Zhao were really not beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations.

The eunuch Ling asked: "Your Honor, do you need to arrange to leave the palace?"

Right now all the military power in the entire court is in the hands of eunuchs, so arranging Zhao Kuo to leave the palace is of course a trivial matter.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Going out of the palace?

No no no, there is no need for that now.

I can just stay here.

You should do what your Majesty has arranged for you to do.

After Li Mu returns to the palace, you will inform me again. "

The eunuch Ling nodded respectfully, and then left quickly.

After the eunuch Ling left, Zhao Kuo sat quietly without lighting the lamp, just letting himself be surrounded by darkness.

Suddenly, there was another sound of footsteps, but the strange thing was that the sound of footsteps seemed to come from under Zhao Kuo's feet.

After a while, an exit suddenly appeared on the floor in front of Zhao Kuo, and then Su Li got out from it.

Zhao Kuo looked at Su Li and said, "How's the situation?"

Su Li smiled and said: "It's already been arranged, and there is a backup plan."

As he said that, Su Li did not forget to show Zhao Kuo. Although it was in the dark, he could vaguely see that Su Li was covered with explosives.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "This backup plan is definitely not going to be used."

Su Li smiled and said: "Then I will borrow the Lord's auspicious words.

Master, do you want to leave?

The Zhou Brothers have already led troops to besiege our mansion, and I'm afraid there will be a little bit of trouble. "

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "It's okay, Li Mu and eunuch Ling's ability to handle affairs is still trustworthy, I just wait here."

As he said that, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yawned, so he simply lay down on the eunuch Ling's bed.

"I'll sleep for a while, you help me guard for a while, and wake me up when the eunuch order comes back."

In the middle of the night, Zhao Kuo fell asleep slowly, sleeping as sweetly as King Zhao in the palace not far away.

Zhao Kuo slept soundly, but many people in Handan City couldn't sleep because they were very excited.

The Zhou brothers were very excited.

Looking at the "Wu Xinjun" plaque in front of him, and then looking at the closed gate of Wu Xinjun's mansion under the plaque, Zhou Shaoliang sneered, and said to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard beside him, "Smash this plaque for the old man!"

Just when these imperial guards were about to make a move, a dense crowd suddenly appeared on the wall of the mansion.

These people are fully armed, holding crossbows in their hands, hundreds of crossbows are lined up, all pointing at the imperial guards outside, they look very intimidating.

Zhou Shaoliang was taken aback, subconsciously rode his horse back a few steps, and then came back to his senses, feeling a little ashamed, but he refused to move forward no matter what.

A very cold voice came from above the wall: "Who are you waiting for, why did you break into Lord Wu Xin's mansion without permission? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Zhou Shaoliang snorted heavily, and said loudly: "This old man is Zhou Shaoliang, and my elder brother Zhou Shaofen came to arrest the prisoner under the order of the king!"

The cold voice said: "Who is the prisoner?

There are no prisoners in our Wu Xinjun mansion! "

Zhou Shaoliang chuckled, and said calmly: "The culprits are Tian Wan, Tian Qiu, Yi Quwei and others, as well as all the children born to these three women!"

There was a pause in the cold voice, and he said coldly: "So, you are here to arrest my wife Jun and all the young masters?"

Zhou Shaoliang said: "Exactly! I have the king's order, you open the gate of the mansion quickly, otherwise it will be disobedience!"

At this moment, Zhou Shaoliang can be said to be determined to win.

When he thought about it, as long as he carried out the order of King Zhao, Zhao Kuo's doormen inside would be terrified and open the door obediently.

However he was wrong.

The cold voice said calmly: "You are talking nonsense, Mrs. Jun and the young masters cannot be criminals, we will not open the door for you."

Zhou Shaoliang's face froze, and then he said angrily: "How dare you disobey the king's order?"

The cold voice suddenly laughed, and said: "You have to remember, this is Lord Wu Xin's Mansion.

Only the orders of my lord can take effect, understand? "

Zhou Shaoliang completely lost the patience to communicate, and roared angrily: "Attack, break into this mansion, and kill all the people inside!"

After receiving Zhou Shaoliang's order, the three thousand imperial guards directly attacked Wu Xinjun's mansion.

Almost at the same time, an order came from the courtyard wall of the mansion: "Kill!"

The next moment, hundreds of powerful crossbows were fired at the same time, and the swishing sound resounded through the night. The crossbow bolts shot out like locusts, and immediately penetrated the bodies of hundreds of imperial guards in the front.

The usual task of these imperial guards is to protect King Zhao, so it is impossible for them to wear heavy armor for the convenience of movement. Ordinary leather armor is almost the same as paper for these crossbows.

The first wave of the Imperial Guard's offensive suffered a disastrous defeat. After a moment of fierce fighting, the Imperial Guard, which left hundreds of corpses, had to retreat in embarrassment.

They simply couldn't break through the defense of Wu Xinjun's mansion!Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang's expressions changed.

After all, the two hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, so they forgot one thing.

This is the mansion of Zhao Kuo, the number one military god in the world, and Zhao Kuo's most important family members such as his wife and children live in this mansion.

On the surface, this mansion is a very normal, luxurious mansion.

But in fact, Zhao Kuo had already quietly transformed this place into a military fortress in Handan City!According to the common assessment of Zhao Kuo's generals Li Mu, Xu Li and many others, with a thousand Chiyou troops guarding, at least fifteen thousand elite soldiers are needed, and the military fortress can be breached at a cost of more than 5000 people.

why?

Because after removing the best equipment in the world, there is still a lot of explosives here!Both the Zhou brothers and King Zhao felt that Zhao Kuo's mansion was a paper shell, but they didn't know that it was really as solid as a rock!Looking at the retreating army, Zhou Shaoliang's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted at the general of the Imperial Guard in front of him: "Is this how you lead the troops?

Your soldiers only have this little combat power? "

After being yelled at by Zhou Shaoliang, the general of the imperial guards obviously couldn't get over his face, and he argued: "Your Excellency, they have misunderstood, but they have hundreds of crossbows, and we can't reach them even if we shoot them directly. "

Zhou Shaoliang obviously disagreed with the explanation of the Imperial Guard general at all, and he said viciously: "I don't care what your reasons are, I only know that if the two of us can't do this, the king will punish everyone I can’t even eat it! You can continue to organize an offensive for the old man immediately, and you must beat this place to the old man!”

Zhou Shaoliang is really impatient. You must know that this is the task assigned by Zhao Wang. If he can't even do this kind of task well, Zhao Wang must be disappointed. Can Zhou Shaoliang continue to mess around this week?

Zhou Shaofen on the side thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, second brother, you go back immediately and gather all the disciples of our Zhou residence to participate in this attack!"

The residences of Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang also raised a lot of retainers, and the combined number exceeded [-]. Although the combat effectiveness of these retainers is definitely not as good as that of an elite army, it is still possible to fight .

Zhou Shaoliang also came back to his senses when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Half an hour later, Zhou Shaoliang rushed back with more than 2000 retainers of Zhou's mansion, holding various swords and weapons.

"How's the situation, brother?"

Zhou Shaoliang couldn't wait to ask questions.

At this time, Zhou Shaofen's face was very ugly, and he said: "The situation is very bad.

This mansion is really too difficult to conquer! "

In the past half an hour, Zhou Shaofen watched the imperial guards launch wave after wave of attacks.

However, Zhao Kuo's doormen in the mansion, who were suspected to be Chi Youjun, easily resisted the offensive of the imperial guards just by relying on their crossbows.

Occasionally, a few very brave Imperial Guards were able to climb over the wall, but after just a few seconds, these Imperial Guards immediately became the souls of the defenders inside.

Half an hour passed, and the imperial guards made no progress other than leaving two or three hundred more corpses behind.

From the beginning of the fight to the present, the casualties of the 800 imperial guards were close to [-], but they still did not break into the mansion.

Many soldiers of the Imperial Guard already had hesitant expressions on their faces, and they also began to deliberately delay and dawdle when attacking.

Everyone is not a fool, they can all see that the mansion in front of them is a meat grinder, who is full and has nothing to do to purposely go to die?

Zhou Shaoliang gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter, we put all the soldiers and horses up there to fight him.

If it really doesn't work, you can only ask the king to continue sending more troops! "

Why didn't you choose to ask King Zhao for help first?

That's because if you ask King Zhao for help, King Zhao will feel that the Zhou brothers are not doing well.

But if there is really no way to conquer this place, asking for help can only be done as a last resort.

Zhou Shaofen nodded, and said to the general of the imperial guards: "I will give you command of all the retainers, let's attack one last time."

The general of the imperial guards also knew that his future was at stake, so he nodded and gritted his teeth: "Please rest assured, my lords, this time the general will definitely send all the elite to fight with Zhao Kuo's henchmen."

A moment later, under the order of the general of the imperial guards, and under the heavy reward offered by the Zhou brothers, "the first person who enters the mansion will be rewarded with a hundred yi gold, and can get the treasures in the mansion first", everyone fought. Gathering his spirits, he launched another offensive towards Zhao Kuo's mansion.

It has to be said that the offensive this time was indeed very ferocious. Many soldiers finally managed to climb up the courtyard wall, and fought with the defenders on the courtyard wall.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaoliang was also overjoyed, and roared angrily: "Hurry up, everyone rush up, this damn mansion will be breached in no time, and this place will be bloodbathed!"

At this moment, a dense sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded.

Zhou Shaoliang subconsciously looked towards the direction of the sound of hooves, and then found that a cavalry was galloping towards the road on horseback.

Zhou Shaoliang was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that the king already knew the situation here and sent reinforcements in advance?"

Judging from the size of this cavalry, there are at least 5000 people!Just when Zhou Shaoliang was in doubt, Zhou Shaofen who was on the side suddenly shrank his eyes, realizing something was wrong.

"No, these people are Chi Youjun!"

Zhou Shaoliang's face changed greatly when he heard the words: "Chi Youjun?

This is impossible! "

Everyone knows that Chi You's army is Zhao Kuo's army, but how could Zhao Kuo's army appear in Handan City at this time?

There are Li Mu's [-] soldiers and horses outside the city!Before Zhou Shaoliang could react, the cavalry of the Chi You Army charged over and launched an attack directly.

The unsuspecting imperial guards and Zhou's retainer coalition forces were suddenly stabbed in the back by Chi You's cavalry, and they were beaten to pieces in an instant.

Those pioneers who had already attacked the courtyard wall lost their backup and were killed in a short period of time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Zhou brothers wanted to escape, but it was too late, and they were surrounded by many cavalry regiments of Chi You's army.

Zhou Shaoliang was completely dumbfounded.

"It's impossible, how did things turn out like this?"

A hearty voice suddenly sounded: "Of course things will become like this, because he should be like this!"

Accompanied by this voice, a man who appeared to be a general of the Chi You Army rushed to the front, took off his helmet and revealed his true colors.

When Zhou Shaoliang saw the true face of this person clearly, his body shook violently.

"Xu, Xu Li?

You, how could you be here?

Haven't you been imprisoned in a prison? "

Yes, this general who suddenly led thousands of Chi You troops and appeared like a divine soldier descended from heaven was actually Xu Li who was imprisoned in the palace not long ago!Xu Li couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

After a while, Xu Li stopped laughing, and looked at Zhou Shaoliang jokingly: "Zhou Daxing, you don't really think that your clumsy plan can really succeed, do you?"

Zhou Shaoliang froze.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoliang suddenly understood: "This, this is a trap, we have all fallen into it!"
