The strong wind rolled up smoke and dust straight into the sky, and a dull sound came from it.

When the dull voice gradually turned into a roar, the danger lurking in the smoke and dust finally became apparent.

"The Zhongshan Army is the Zhongshan Army!"

Realizing that he was in extreme danger, King Zhao Zhao Zhong subconsciously looked around.

But what made him despair was that the personal guards who had been protecting him disappeared in an instant, and he was the only one left in the world.

"Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone."

The heart-stopping emptiness made Zhao Zhong couldn't help shouting loudly, but every word he said seemed so weak.

Zhao Zhong could only stand alone on the ground, watching in despair as the Zhongshan Army's chariots rapidly approached him with unrivaled power.

In that despair, an iron halberd flashing with cold light grew larger and larger, and finally pierced the chest of King Zhao Zhong.

…

"no, do not want……"

On the couch, King Zhao Zhao Zhong's eyes suddenly opened, and what came into view was an unfamiliar scene.

"Huhuhu..."

The horrific scene just now made Zhao Zhong, who was still frightened, continue to let out heavy breathing sounds.

The sound of breathing coming from the room was quickly noticed by everyone outside the room, and within a few breaths, the figures of several Zhao army generals appeared in front of King Zhao Zhao Zhong.

"Father..."

"Your Majesty..."

The concerned voices of the crowd rang in his ears. Zhao Zhong, who finally recovered from the shock, slowly raised his head and saw Young Master Xie standing in the front at a glance.

"Why are you here? How is our army doing?"

As soon as Zhao Zhong asked about the battle situation, the concern on the faces of the Zhao army generals present suddenly turned into sadness.

Just when everyone was silent, Gong Zizhen stood up from the crowd.

"Father, this is a battle with our Zhao army..."

"Failed!"

"Our Zhao army was defeated. How?"

Facing Zhao Zhong's questioning, Gongzi Zhen first had an ugly look on his face, and then he recounted the story of the battle.

It turned out that not long after Gongzi Zhen led the chariot troops into the Zhongshan Army's square formation, the Zhongshan Xianglechi Division hidden on the flank of the Zhao Army suddenly launched its force.

The equally powerful Zhongshan chariot was like chopping melons and vegetables, effortlessly breaking through the defense lines of the Zhao army's rear army, and its front even threatened Zhao Wang Zhao Zhong.

Seeing that their own rear army was attacked by the Zhongshan Army, the Zhao army, which was originally on the offensive, suddenly became confused. Young Master Jie Dang, who was rushing left and right in the Zhongshan Army's formation, was about to lead his army back to rescue Zhao Wang Zhao Zhong.

The chaos of the Zhao army was immediately noticed by Long Jia, who was in the center of the Zhongshan Army. He had experienced hundreds of battles and immediately seized this opportunity and ordered the Zhongshan Army, which was originally defending, to counterattack with all its strength.

The Zhao army, which was originally in chaos because its rear army was attacked, was suddenly attacked by the Zhongshan Army, and the morale of the army immediately fell to the bottom.

After being defeated like a mountain, leaving nearly ten thousand corpses and losing nearly half of their troops, the defeated Zhao army retreated into Haoyi.

The Zhongshan Army saw the enemy defeated and fled, so naturally they would not stop there.

In Zhongshan Xianglechi, under the unanimous advice of the guest general Long Jia, Zhongshan Gongji Heng took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and trapped the remaining 20,000 Zhao army in Haoyi in one fell swoop.

Although the Zhao army had the advantage in strength in this battle, in the end they could only defend the isolated city.

After hearing the story of the battle, King Zhao Zhong fell into collapse.

He finally knew that what he had just experienced was not a dream at all, but a fact that happened not long ago, but he did not die under the halberd of the Zhongshan Army like the dream.

He pushed down the young master who was standing in front of him, and then shouted angrily at him: "Why did you rescue me? I am a sinner of the Zhao Kingdom, and I am ashamed of all the ancestors of the Zhao family."

"The defeat in this battle is all my fault, Zhao Zhong's, my Zhao Zhong's fault!"

With a "pounce" sound, a stream of blood arrows spurted out from Zhao Zhong's mouth, and he fell onto the couch behind him again.

"Father..."

"Your Majesty..."

Because King Zhao Zhao Zhong suddenly fell down, there was another trembling in the room.

…

After a long time passed, the medical officer's figure walked out of the door. Young Master Jie, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly stepped forward and asked: "Father, how are you doing?"

"Don't worry, sir. Your Majesty is not seriously ill. It's just a matter of anger."

"call……"

After hearing the medical officer say that Zhao Zhong was not seriously ill, Gongzijie slowly exhaled a long breath and felt much more at ease in his heart.

In fact, besides the affection between father and son, there is another reason why Gongzi Zhen is so worried about Zhao Zhong's health.

You must know that once Zhao Zhong dies of illness, according to the current situation of Zhao State, Prince Zhao Yu, who is in Handan, can legitimately ascend to the throne of King Zhao.

At that time, what kind of pitiful situation will Zhao Ji, Zhao Wangyu's former opponent, be in?

Moreover, Zhao Jie was not willing to succumb to others. In the words of a later person named Lu, "A man was born between heaven and earth. How can he live in depression for a long time?"

Therefore, Zhao Zhong cannot be in trouble now. Otherwise, how could Zhao Ji, the son of the Zhao Kingdom, have the ability to compete with the orthodox heir, Prince Zhao Yu.

After seeing the medical officer off with a sincere smile on his face, a confidant of Young Master Qi came to his side.

"Sir, how should we respond to the Zhongshan Army's offensive outside the city?"

"Send more manpower to spread the news of the war, and also order the soldiers to be on guard."

He looked towards the south subconsciously, with a rather complicated expression in his eyes, "We'll see what my prince brother does next."

…

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, the Zhao army in the city has sent a large number of messenger troops in an attempt to break out of our army's tight encirclement."

"Now most of these messengers have been captured or killed by our army, but some of them still escaped. Our army's light cavalry has already gone to pursue them."

"Don't chase."

"Don't chase."

Two suggestions sounded in the tent at the same time. As the master of the sound, Long Jia glanced at each other, and a look of tacit understanding appeared in their eyes at the same time.

"It seems that General Long Jia thinks the same as me."

"I'm afraid Le Xiangguo is just average."

After looking at each other and smiling, Yuechi bowed to Ji Heng, the Duke of Zhongshan above, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the breakout of Zhao Jun's command troops is an opportunity given to me by God in Zhongshan."

"What opportunity?" Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng asked quickly after listening to the words of his Prime Minister.

"Although our army defeated a large number with a small number in this battle, which severely dampened the spirit of Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun did not completely lose its combat effectiveness."

"Relying on the strong defense of Haoyi, I am afraid it will take a lot of time for me in Zhongshan to capture this Zhao army."

"But this time the Zhao army's surprise attack may attract Zhao's troops from the rear."

"When it comes to field battles, I think our Zhongshan Army is probably not weaker than any powerful force in the world."

Xiangguo Lechi knew very well that if the Zhongshan Army wanted to take Haoyi, it would be difficult to achieve anything under the current conditions.

In this case, why should we cling to a strong city instead of using this strong city as bait to effectively attack the effective forces in the rear of the Zhao army?

This is the encirclement and support.

After understanding the intention of his Prime Minister, Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng immediately turned the confusion on his face into a smile.

"Everything is entrusted to the Prime Minister."
