Zhao Jun was very fast.

Almost as soon as the news of the Qi army's siege in Liaocheng came, Zhao's 60,000-strong army crossed the Zhang River.

Zhangshui serves as the boundary river between Wei and Zhao. Wei soldiers once crossed here and captured the Lieren Fortress, directly threatening Handan, the capital of Zhao.

Standing on the banks of the Zhang River, looking at the surging river flowing in front of him, and looking at the soldiers of Zhao who kept crossing the water, King Zhao Yu felt indescribably surging in his heart.

In the past, the Wei army forced his father to sign a city alliance. Today, he will lead his army to cross the Zhang River and wash away the humiliation that Wei had imposed on Zhao.

His eyes gradually became darker. Looking at the Wei Kingdom's territory beyond Zhangshui, a cold light appeared in Zhao Yu's eyes.

Holding a long sword in his hand and pointing forward, Zhao Yu issued an attack order in the distance.

"Pass the military order to all the soldiers to speed up and march straight to Yecheng."

"I will obey the king's orders."

As the core of Hanoi, Yecheng occupies an extraordinary position in the entire Wei State.

In the past, the virtuous minister Ximen Bao governed Ye City under the orders of Wei Wenhou Wei Si, eliminated superstition, and built water conservancy projects, which laid a solid material foundation for the rise of Ye City.

During the reign of Marquis Wu of Wei, Wei and Zhao, who were originally good friends, gradually parted ways and even fought frequently. Yecheng became an important town for Wei to defend against Zhao in the north.

Today, Yecheng has strong defenses, well-prepared soldiers, and sufficient food and grass. It is a solid shield for the Wei State to resist enemies from the north.

With the arrival of 60,000 Zhao troops, this shield finally came in handy today.

"General, Zhao Jun is here!"

The shouts of the deputy general beside him rang in the ears of Long Jia, the defender of Ye City in Wei State. The usually calm general just nodded lightly.

Seeing the enemy's silhouette gradually becoming clearer, and seeing the Zhao flag flying above the phalanx outside the city, Long Jia also said lightly.

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

Military orders were overwhelming. When Long Jia issued this military order, the Wei army in Yecheng, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately started to move.

The powerful bowstring was stretched to an exaggerated degree, and the sharp arrow clusters were already aimed at the outside of the city.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

"put!"

Another order came, and without any hesitation, the many archers behind the city wall loosened their bowstrings according to instinct.

Suddenly, arrows poured down like raindrops, forming an invisible wall covered with arrows not far from the front of Zhao Jun.

Looking at the dense arrows not far away, the Zhao army's formation, which was originally advancing slowly, became a little panicked.

Fear is the main thought in the minds of these Zhao soldiers at this moment. If they walk faster, if the Wei army in the city shoots farther, will they become the souls of the enemy's arrows?

Although the Wei army's arrow offensive did not cause many casualties to the Zhao army, it severely damaged the morale of the Zhao army.

"King!"

Taking all this into consideration, Zhao Jiang Feiyi immediately realized that something was wrong, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yu's face as quickly as possible.

As for Zhao Yu, who was standing on the chariot, looking at the solid city wall and the prepared Yecheng in front of him, a trace of expectation suddenly flashed in his eyes.

As long as the city of Ye is captured, Zhao Guojin can directly take Hanoi and drink the water of the Ma River. When retreating, he can use the city defense to resist the Wei army's counterattack.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yu immediately ordered the chariot beside him, and the chariot under him slowly moved forward.

"General, this is Zhao Jun?"

"Just wait and see what happens."

Under the watchful eyes of Long Jia, his lieutenants, and countless Wei soldiers on the top of the city, the chariot on which King Zhao Yu was riding stopped in front of a wall made of countless arrows.

His eyes swept across the arrow tail feathers swaying gently in the wind in front of him. Even Zhao Yu felt a bit chilly in his heart. He could feel something called murderous intent from these tail feathers.

However, Zhao Yu was the leader of a country after all. He quickly calmed down the agitation in his heart and looked at the Wei defenders on top of the city.

"I wonder where General Long Jia is?"

"The last general, Long Jia, has met King Zhao."

Long Jia did not choose to hide his whereabouts, but stood directly in front of Zhao Yu.

Looking down from the city wall to Zhao Yu, King of Zhao, who was on the chariot outside the city, Long Jia directly launched a question, "We, the State of Wei, and the State of Zhao are both members of the Three Jin Dynasties, and the two countries have always been on good terms."

"Why did King Zhao ignore the alliance between the two countries and lead a large army to invade our country of Wei and besiege our city of Ye?"

Long Jia's question made Zhao Yu outside the city a little confused as to how to respond.

Although Wei, as an ally, secretly creates obstacles for Zhao from time to time, at least openly Wei still has a good ally image.

These several actions taken by the State of Zhao following the State of Wei were not said to be full of gains, but they could also be regarded as the expansion of territory.

From the perspective of an uninformed person, Zhao State's attack on Wei State is indeed tearing up allies and betraying allies that have always been good friends.

But for Zhao Yu, the king of Zhao, if Zhao wanted to expand and unite with Yan, Zhongshan's neighbor Wei would definitely be the biggest obstacle.

Only by removing this obstacle can Zhao have a chance to compete in the world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu's eyes gradually became firm, no longer hesitant just now.

"General Long Jia, it's useless to say more."

"Today I have led a hundred thousand troops from Zhao. If the general can open the city and surrender, not only will the common people in the city be saved from the disaster, but the general will also be able to enter our country of Zhao."

"Wealth, land, fame..."

"King Zhao, there is no need to say any more."

Before Zhao Yu, who was outside the city, could finish his words, Long Jia on top of the city interrupted him directly.

"Long Jia is naturally a general of the Wei State. He should be loyal to the king and the Wei State."

"The general's men are all soldiers who are not afraid of life and death. Although we are not as powerful as King Zhao's men, we still have the courage to fight with King Zhao."

"Soldiers!"

"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"

"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"

"Great Wei for ten thousand years!"

…

A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami echoed above Yecheng and reached Long Jia's ears. Naturally, it also sounded clearly in Zhao Yu's ears.

"snort!"

After snorting coldly, Zhao Yu immediately ordered the chariot to return along the original route. He knew that his efforts to defeat the enemy without fighting had failed.

At this moment, there is only one outcome waiting for Zhao Jun and Wei Jun in the city, and that is war!

"All soldiers of the army! Attack!"

Watching Zhao Jun approaching outside the city step by step and standing on top of the city, Long Jia only had determination in his eyes.

His right hand slowly touched the hilt of the sword, and a cold light radiated above the city head, and an extremely biting chill appeared in his eyes.

"We, the officers and men of the Wei Dynasty, today is the day when we will make great contributions to the country of Wei and to the king."

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The cry of killing rang in his ears, and as a smile appeared on his face, Long Jia couldn't help but look to the southwest.

There stood the capital of Wei State.
Chapter completed!
