Before Xu Li could speak, all the wounded kneeled down and thanked him: "General, you take pity on my wounded, and I regard Xu Qing as my wounded general. You are truly a benevolent man!"
Xu Li said: "I hope the general will not think about the injured and make peace with him as soon as possible."
Zhao She said: "This is his original wish!"
After handing over the wounded barracks to Xu Li, Zhao She seemed to have let go of a major event. Immediately pass to the front, designate one battalion to be responsible for protecting the wounded soldiers, and the other battalions advance in sequence.
There were injured soldiers and officers joining the wounded camp along the way, but under Xu Li's dispatch, the marching speed of the wounded camp did not slow down much.
Although Zhao She knew that it was of little significance to rush to Yanyu, the former army had already been brought by Zhao Kuo with a forced march, so he could only rush to Yanyu with a forced march according to the original plan. Along the way, you can see the bodies of soldiers who were seriously injured or fell to death lying at the foot of the mountain.
After climbing the mountain for a day, Zhao She's former army encountered Zhao Kuo's wounded camp. Zhao Kuo's wounded camp was moving too slowly. The front army would ask them to move out of the way and let their own battalions pass by first. They could wait until the rear army arrived and then enter the wounded camp to take care of them.
After walking for another day, Zhao She's former army reported that they had joined forces with Zhao Kuo. At this time, Xu Li's wounded barracks also joined Zhao Kuo's wounded barracks.
Although Zhao Kuo's front group was small in number, it carried out a high-intensity rush march, and the number of injured soldiers exceeded a thousand; Zhao She's group was large in number and did not forcefully march. Xu Li took in less than 500 wounded soldiers along the way. , and a battalion of soldiers were assisting. Seeing more than a thousand soldiers and officers scattered in the snow for almost a day, Xu Li was shocked and hurriedly ordered the wounded barracks to stop advancing and urgently receive these wounded people. Seeing that the weather was turning dark, Xu Li simply stopped advancing, started a fire on the spot, and rescued the wounded.
He asked the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks to check the wounds of these wounded soldiers. If the blood flow stopped, rub the feet with snow until the feet became red and hot. If there were signs of suppuration, be sure to squeeze out the pus and blood, and then rub the feet with snow. Rub feet. After rubbing their feet, everyone pulls off half of their clothes and tightly wraps their feet under pressure. Xu Li demonstrated to them when he was rescuing the wounded on the way. They also experienced the rescue process personally, followed the same example, and did a good job. The soldiers in the other battalion also practiced this set of operations in the process of fighting. . Two or three people reminded each other to wait for one person, and it took more than an hour to handle all the thousands of wounded people.
After some treatment by Xu Li, the pain of these wounded people was significantly relieved, and their marching speed naturally accelerated. It only took one day to enter Zhao She's camp.
This was the position originally planned to block the retreat of the Qin army, but it was actually still fifty miles away from Yanyu. But Zhao She had stayed here all day and could not advance: the valley in front was blocked by enemy troops.
After Hu Yang left Lanyu, Gongzi Jiu commanded the Han army to take over the position surrounding Lanyu City. He only received a report that the Shangdang Shou had led the Qin army out of the mountain from Shangdang. He did not know that only the rear army of Wang Ling came down the mountain, nor did he know that Hu Yang had actually led the front army and the middle army directly to Handan. Even the movements of King Bian's tomb after coming down the mountain are unknown.
After he completed the siege of Zhao Jun, he sent an envoy into Yanyu City and asked Zhao Shou to surrender, but Zhao Shou flatly refused. It was the middle of winter, and the weather was already cold. In addition, being in a high mountain, the temperature was even lower. There were strong winds from time to time, and rain and snow came more frequently than down the mountain. The Korean troops were all so cold that it was difficult to hold their troops and pull strings, and all the troops asked to suspend the attack. Seeing that the troops were about to disperse, Prince Jiu placed them in various settlements to avoid the cold. Seeing this situation, Yan and Shou did not take the initiative to go out of the city to challenge. The battle between Yan and Yu miraculously reached a truce with the tacit understanding of both parties! A thousand Zhao troops lived in barracks in the city, with only routine patrols. Thirty thousand Han troops and nearly 10,000 Wei troops were scattered in the settlements of Yan and Heyi to take shelter from the cold and eat. ——Because it is too cold, the weather is not good, and the roads are muddy and difficult to navigate, the Korean army is not only unwilling to attack, but also unwilling to re-take the mountain road home! It's scary to think about walking all day in the biting cold wind; if there is still rain and snow, it will be the end of the world! The unspoken but tacit agreement between the two parties is: wait until the weather gets warmer! Only the closed city gate declares that this place is still in a state of war! Coincidentally, the Qin army and the Zhao army at the foot of the mountain also tacitly agreed not to fight each other during this period, and went to live in their respective towns. The life of the guest Qin people seemed to be better than the life of the host Zhao army. . It’s such a vast world, full of wonders!
Just when Yan and the armies of the Three Kingdoms were living a small life, Zhao Kuo came with his troops.
Zhao Kuo's arrival naturally alarmed Yan and the three parties. The Wei army is currently stationed in Ji, which is still far away from Yanyu and has not moved yet. The Korean army stationed in Lanyu could not move. No matter how much they resist in their hearts, they must put on their armor and go out to fight. This army has no tacit understanding with them. If they don't resist, they may lose their lives. They received news that the Zhao army that came to support was only a few thousand strong. With their superior strength, it should not be difficult for them to win. But when they walked out of the house, formed a formation, and rushed out of the valley, there were thousands of people on the opposite side! The camp stretches for more than ten miles, with more than ten thousand people!
The Korean front troops immediately stopped their advance and reported to the rear. At the same time, they set up a defensive posture and built forts.
Zhao She had just set up the camp fence when he saw the enemy troops pouring out. He hurriedly formed his position and prepared to meet the enemy. The fortress built by Zhao Kuo was originally to resist the Qin army, and the Zhao troops were all on the west side of the fortress. Now that the Korean army came out from the west of the valley mouth, Zhao She took advantage of it and withdrew his troops to the east of the fortress. The Korean army did not launch an attack and allowed the Zhao army to retreat behind the camp and hold on.
When Xu Li arrived, it was at the point when the Han army first arrived and the Zhao army retreated.
When the wounded soldiers arrived at the camp, they saw the golden sound of the Zhao army in the camp. The Zhao army retreated one after another, and they were at a loss. Xu Li gave a stern order, and the entire army immediately formed a formation and must not waver!
Xu Li currently has 500 elite soldiers and about 1,500 wounded soldiers, totaling 2,000 people. According to Xu Li's arrangement, four rows of columns were formed on the spot: the elite soldiers were at the front, and the wounded soldiers were on a first-come, first-served basis, and stood behind the elite soldiers in turn. The five hundred elite soldiers will be responsible for arranging the formation, while Xu Li will arrange the wounded to the corresponding positions one by one, and temporarily designate troops, chiefs and hundred generals.
During the process of lining up, the wounded soldiers had seen that Zhao Jun did not encounter an accident, but just retreated to the back of the camp. The soldiers were determined, holding their halberds and chests straight, focusing on the front. It was impossible to see that they were injured! Those who entered the defensive position suddenly saw a majestic army appearing behind them. They thought it was a surprise force arranged by Zhao She, and they felt relieved.
After the intense camp adjustment, Zhao She breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked back, he found an army arrayed neatly behind the camp. Zhao She was startled. He didn't know where this army came from, so he turned around and walked towards this side. When Xu Li saw Zhao She coming, he stepped forward and reported: "The wounded soldiers have returned from the camp, please give us your orders!" Only then did Zhao She realize that these were wounded soldiers who were dismissed by others.
The 500-man general also stepped forward to report: "Our battalion has been ordered to escort the wounded soldiers back to camp. Please surrender your order!"
Zhao She said loudly: "You are all from Zhao!" The group of wounded soldiers hit the ground with their sticks and roared loudly: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Zhao Shefu shouted loudly: "You are all men!" The wounded soldier hit the ground with his stick again and shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Zhao She turned to Xu Li and said: "You have collected more than a thousand wounded soldiers, so you can guard the partial generals!"
Xu Li said loudly: "Here!" Fu whispered: "Dare to attack with military force!"
Zhao She looked at Xu Li strangely, took him to a deserted place, and said, "You should know my military order!"
Xu Li said: "I would like to die with just one word!"
Zhao She stared at Xu Li and said, "You can tell me."
Xu Li said: "The people of Qin did not expect Zhao Shi to be here. He is coming with great strength, so the general must gather his troops to prepare for him. Otherwise, he will be defeated."
Zhao She was very excited and said: "Please accept the order!"
Xu Li said: "Please punish me."
Zhao She said: "It's okay for Empress Xu to do it to Handan. Now I receive military orders!"
Xu Li said: "I sincerely accept it!"
Zhao She said: "If I pay you all the fifteen thousand, how much more should I pay?"
Xu Li pointed to the high mountain road north of the valley entrance: "The one who captures the northern mountain first will win, and the one who comes later will lose."
Zhao She said: "You, the general, will lead an army of ten thousand to seize Beishan!"
Zhao She handed over all the 10,000 people he had brought to Xu Li, also handed over his banner, and ordered Zhao Kuo to assist.
Xu Li took off his cold clothes and threw them on the ground. He held his halberd and shouted: "Everyone takes their clothes lightly and rush up the mountain." He asked Zhao Kuo to follow him and rushed up the mountain first. When Zhao Jun heard the order, they didn't know why, but when they saw Zhao Kuo also taking off his cold clothes, the other generals also took off their cold clothes and quickly followed Xu Li. When the sergeants saw what their officers were doing, they all took off their cold clothes and rushed towards the mountain in a swarm. The result was that Zhao She's flag rushed to the front, followed by the flags of the officers, while the soldiers were separated from each other and climbed up individually. Zhao She saw him at the foot of the mountain and kept shaking his head!
The general who came up first with Zhao Kuo said to Zhao She: "How can we meet the enemy if we can't form a line? Isn't this a rebel army?"
Zhao She said: "You will stop the Qin army in the valley."
The general didn't know what to say, so he could only respond: "Here you go!"
The northern mountain of Yanyu Valley leads directly to Yanyu Valley. Whoever occupies the high mountain will have a clear view of all the other party's arrangements. Xu Li was the first to rush to the top of the mountain. Looking down, he saw that the Korean army was also moving up the mountain, and there were many of them. Xu Li yelled: "Push the stone!"
Pick up a stone and throw it down the mountain. The young officers who followed behind followed suit (the older officers could no longer keep up) and picked up stones and threw them down. In an instant, fist-sized stones flew down the mountain, causing chaos in the opponent's camp. Xu Li saw that there were more people coming up, so he ordered: "The five of you are pushing the boulder!"
So a group of five people pushed the huge rocks down the mountain. This time the density of the stone was reduced, but the sound was even more alarming, and from time to time someone screamed! After several rounds of pushing boulders, Xu Li saw that his side was almost up, and the other side had already rushed within thirty steps, so he shouted and rushed straight down the mountain! Zhao Kuo also shouted and rushed down the mountain. Other officers followed and rushed down the mountain, followed by countless soldiers...
