"Lao Xiangguo, Lao Xiangguo..."

Amid anxious shouts from the Zhao soldiers, Zhao Xianggong Zhong Le climbed up the Handan city wall.

Without enough time to take into account his breathing which was somewhat disordered due to strenuous exercise, the old man trotted to the city wall.

Looking towards the plains outside the city, watching the two armies fleeing and chasing each other, Gong Zhongle's eyes were full of worry.

Through the parapet in front of him, Gong Zhongle could clearly see that one after another, Sergeant Zhao's soldiers fell to the ground and could never stand up again.

Although he couldn't see the faces of the people in the team clearly, Gong Zhongle could still feel the urgency of being gripped by the pursuers.

The scene in front of him was not only seen by Gong Zhongle, but also caught the eyes of the surrounding Zhao army generals.

"Prime Minister, the king is in a critical situation, and the last general is willing to lead his elite troops to respond!"

The words of the deputy general beside him were full of urgency, and Gong Zhongle could also feel the urgency of the matter.

However, the speed of the Wei army's cavalry is too fast. Once reinforcements are sent out of the city, they will definitely be severely damaged by the other side.

This is not the worst case scenario. I am afraid that the Wei cavalry will take advantage of the situation and move in. At that time, Handan City is really in danger!

The balance in my heart kept shifting. On one side was my own king, and on the other was the capital that Zhao had managed for generations.

Which one to choose? After weighing it again and again, Gong Zhongle was never able to make a decision.

"Old Prime Minister!"

Gong Zhongle's hesitation made the Zhao general next to him anxious. His anxious eyes looked at the old prime minister next to him, and then fell on the fleeing Zhao army in the distance.

At this time, those paying attention to the remnants of the Zhao army led by Zhao Wangyu were not only the Zhao army stationed at the head of Handan City, but also the Wei cavalry who were chasing after them.

Riding on a high-speed galloping horse, he stretched the string of the strong bow to the limit, aiming the sharp arrow clusters at the target. After doing all this, Ying Qian suddenly released his right hand that hooked the arrow tail.

The next moment, the feather arrow flew out with huge kinetic energy and hit a soldier of Sergeant Zhao on the chariot in front.

The sharp arrow clusters penetrated the armor effortlessly and penetrated deeply into the flesh.

"puff……"

As a blood arrow spurted out, the sight of Sergeant Zhao who was hit by the arrow went dark, and he fell directly from the chariot.

Taking all this in his eyes, Ying Qian's eyes suddenly looked towards Handan City not far away.

Looking at the Zhao flags above the city, and at the Zhao soldiers guarding the flags, a cold light flashed in Ying Qian's eyes.

"General Yiqu, please lead half of the knights forward, and you must not give King Zhao's remnant troops any chance to enter Handan."

At this time, Yi Qucang, who also shot the arrow in his hand, listened to Ying Qian's order beside him and looked towards Handan City.

The task given to them by General Pang Juan was to do their best to prevent the remnants of King Zhao from entering Handan and join forces with the Zhao defenders in the city.

This incident not only affects the success or failure of the upcoming Battle of Handan, but also determines whether Wei will succeed in one fell swoop this time.

After some calculations in his mind, Yi Qucang immediately nodded and replied loudly to Ying Qian: "Okay! Leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Qucang turned his horse's head and galloped straight towards Handan.

"My sons, follow me!"

Compared with Zhao Army's chariot troops, the Wei Army's cavalry naturally has a certain advantage in speed.

When Yi Qucang led the army to intercept in the direction of Handan in advance, Zhao Wangyu, who was on the Zhao army's chariot, had some bad premonitions in his heart.

And when the Zhao army's attempts to approach Handan were blocked by the Wei army's cavalry time and time again, resulting in the loss of troops and generals, Zhao Wangyu let out a long sigh.

"well……"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Handan this time."

After realizing that this Wei cavalry would never sit back and watch him and others enter Handan, Zhao Wangyu did not hesitate at all, and his eyes fell directly on Fei Yi beside him.

"General Feiyi, let's not enter Handan, and go directly to Xingcheng."

"Follow orders."

Under the king's order, Zhao Jun quickly changed direction and galloped away from Handan City.

The Wei cavalry were like wolves following their prey, keeping a certain distance but showing no signs of giving up.

When the war horse in front moved its powerful hooves, and when the war horse's neighing sounded in his ears, Zhao Wangyu's eyes suddenly turned back.

Looking at the fluttering Zhao flag at the top of Handan City, Zhao Wangyu's eyes showed some determination.

"Old Prime Minister, please Handan."

Seeing King Zhao's army outside the city choose to retreat and lead the pursuers to other directions, Gong Zhongle knew that he no longer had to worry about trade-offs.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel a gaze looking at him, which contained infinite trust.

Gently taking half a step back, Gong Zhongle slowly bowed forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Gong Zhongle will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

"The city is there and the people are there, but the city is broken and people are dying."

…

During the long-distance pursuit, the Wei cavalry under Ying Qian and Yi Qucang inflicted heavy casualties on King Zhao's remaining troops.

However, Zhao Guo may not have run out of energy, and the two of them failed to successfully complete the important task entrusted to them by Pang Juan.

When the sword in his hand killed the last Zhao soldier who was blocking him, and as he watched the gates of Xing City being slammed shut, Ying Qian knew that he would never be able to annihilate King Zhao's remaining soldiers no matter what.

"General Ying Qian, what should we do next?"

"Return to the division and report the situation to the general."

"good."

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately led their army, which had been galloping for a long time, on the return journey.

It didn't take much time for the two of them to return to General Pang Juan's camp, which had already been moved outside Handan City.

As a series of battles on both sides of the Zhang River came to an end, the Wei army relied on its superiority in combat power and speed to win one victory after another against Zhao.

Now that Zhao's elite army has suffered heavy losses, Feiyi and others are also firmly in the hands of the Wei army. In the eyes of the Wei army, the road to Handan, the capital of Zhao, is already smooth.

The next thing to do is very obvious, which is to cross the Zhang River and directly capture the city of Handan, which can be said to be defenseless at this time.

When Ying Qian and Yi Qucang entered the Chinese army's tent, the city marked on the map in front of General Pang Juan was clearly Handan City in front of them.

"The last general, Ying Qian (Yi Qucang), pays homage to the superior general."

When Pang Juan withdrew his gaze from the map in front of him and looked up at Ying Qian and Yi Qucang in front of him, a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"The two generals are really the heroes of our Wei State. Please get up quickly. Please get up quickly."

Facing Pang Juan's obviously kind attitude, Ying Qian was a little unable to react for a moment. At this moment, he was still immersed in the faint frustration of not having completed his work.

As a result, they were treated with such caution by Pang Juan, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

"Forgive me, General, but I am unable to..."

"It doesn't matter." Having understood what the other party meant, Pang Juan replied loudly: "By preventing King Zhao's remnants of troops from returning to Handan, the two generals have already made great contributions to Wei."

"We should be focusing our wholehearted attention on Handan now. As for the Zhao King's army stationed in Xing City..."

Before Pang Juan finished speaking, he looked far away to the north, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

"Someone will deal with it."
