Chapter 32 Abandoned City(1/2)
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
The voice of the Yan army outside the city completely ignited the mood of Gu Yi's guardian army, and many people shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Young Master, is that true?"
Sima Shang rushed to Zhao Jia with hope in front of him, and his eyes were full of hope, hoping to hear a negative answer from the other party's mouth.
Behind him, Wang Ruobing and the generals and generals were also nervous.
Zhao Jia looked around everyone, looked at the grief and hope on their faces, and looked at the wounds on their bodies, and suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
For more than half a month, everyone has worked together to fight to the death and repeatedly repelled the Yan army.
Even though the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties and everyone was exhausted, they still had firm beliefs.
But now, the news that the Daiyi Guard surrendered without fighting was like a bolt from the blue, bombarding everyone's heads.
The fall of Daiyi was definitely a heavy blow to these soldiers fighting bloody battles.
Even if the defenders of Daiyi were killed in battle, even if all the soldiers and civilians of Daiyi died, even if Daiyi eventually changed hands, everyone would not suffer such a big blow.
On the contrary, they would be full of anger and would continue to fight with the Yan army in blood for the dead.
Now they learned that Gu Yigu surrendered without fighting.
Everyone was confused.
Even if everyone in Guyi guards fought to death and tried their best to defend the city, even if the Guyi guards were determined to die.
However, are the Zhao people in other places like them?
Before this.
The Guyi defenders may think that all the generals of Zhao were like Prince Jia, and they would lead the way before the battle.
Before this.
The Guyi defenders may think that all the soldiers of Zhao State were like themselves, and they would go to the battle with the will of death.
It is precisely because of this belief that when they face the Yan army that is twenty times more powerful than they do, they still dare to fight to the death.
The shouts of the Yan army outside the city were still coming intermittently.
Everyone's eyes were red and they stared at Zhao Jia, wanting to hear the correct answer from the other party's mouth.
Zhao Jia was silent.
After a long time, he slowly took out a battle report from his arms and handed it to Sima Shang.
Sima Shang took the battle report with his hands trembling. After reading it, he was trembling all over and his face was a little distorted.
"Thorn!"
Then, Sima Shang suddenly tore the battle report apart, turned around and shouted to everyone: "The soldiers and civilians in Daiyi have been guarding for half a month, and seven or eight out of ten people died in battle. Unfortunately, they were finally defeated by the Yan thieves!"
"The Yan thieves want to disrupt our army's morale and deliberately spread the remarks of surrender of the generals of the country, and their intentions should be punished!"
"We should take the military and civilians of the country as a model to defend Guyi and never retreat even if we die!"
Sima Shang tightly held the torn battle report with both hands, and roared at everyone with red eyes, not only trying to maintain everyone's crumbling fighting spirit, but also as if he was hypnotizing himself.
Sima Shang's shouts made all Gu Yi generals look at war again.
They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that someone would lose his backbone and surrender to Zhao without resisting.
In that case, no matter how bloody they fight, they will not change the overall situation in the end, but will instead bleed in vain.
If all the people of Zhao were willing to die, what would it be wrong for them to die here?
"Hold Gu Yi, even if you die, you will never retreat!"
At this moment, even the woman Wang Ruobing waved her fists and shouted loudly.
Everyone swept away the decline just now, and the desire for war appeared on their tired faces.
Zhao Jia looked at Sima Shang with a distorted face, as if he saw tears falling from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that Sima Shang was a good general.
After reading the battle report, Sima Shang was so sad that he was still fulfilling his duties and responsibilities even if he became confused about the future of Zhao State.
He knew that his lies might cause countless people to die in vain.
Therefore, Sima Shang was heartbroken and blamed himself, wishing he could steal the ground with his head.
However, Sima Shang even knew that he was a commander and a senior general of Gu Yi, so he must not let the army be shaken.
Otherwise, Gu's realm will be destroyed and the former land of Zhongshan will be acquired by the Yan people.
In order to protect Gu Yi, Sima Shang did not hesitate to lie and deceive everyone, and maintained their fragile fighting spirit.
Zhao Jia had a clear understanding of everything and felt a little sore in his nose.
But now, the strategic goals have been achieved. We will continue to defend Gu Yi, let alone whether we can defend it.
Even if you can continue to delay time, it will still be harmful to the overall situation.
Of course, the plan was made by Zhao Jia, Li Mu and Lian Po for the abandonment of Gu Yi and even the entire former land of Zhongshan.
This kind of thing is too secret, even if King Zhao doesn't know it, Zhao Jia naturally cannot tell Sima Shang and others.
Otherwise, it may cause death.
Zhao Jia stepped forward, reached out and pressed Sima Shang, who was boosting morale, and took over the battle report from him.
Although the battle report was torn apart, after simple pieces, the contents can still be seen.
"The general of the Guyi County and the governor of the county and the governor of the Yan army made an appointment with the fifteenth day. After the appointment arrived, the general of the Guyi County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the governor of the County and the county and the county and the county and the county and the county and the county surrendered, and the Dai County almost all the income from
Zhao Jia slowly recited the contents of the battle report, his voice hoarse and indifferent.
The people who were originally motivated by Sima Shang, heard the cold reading and their fighting spirit froze on their faces.
Then, endless loss and anger erupted.
They shouted loudly and cursed the Daiyi garrison and Daixian County garrison who were afraid of life and death and surrendered without fighting.
Many people also stared at Sima Shang, and their eyes could almost spit out fire.
They were also resenting. Why did Sima Shang deceive himself and others? Is he trying to die for nothing?
Even the female officer Wang Ruobing, who had grown up at this time, had her mouth full of despair.
It can be imagined that after this news was confirmed, the morale of Gu Yishou's army would collapse in an instant.
At that time, Gu Yi really couldn't hold on.
"Why?"
Sima Shang clenched his fists, stared at Zhao Jia, and asked with a hoarse voice.
Zhao Jia slowly put away the torn battle report and did not answer.
"Tell me why!"
"Don't you know how bad the impact this news will have after it gets out?"
Sima Shang stepped forward, staring at Zhao Jia with his eyes blazing fire, and roaring.
"Can you hide it?"
Zhao Jia replied, his voice was very light and light, as if he was murmuring and sighing.
When Sima Shang heard this, his anger froze on his face, and then he felt as if he had been completely drained of his strength and his body fell softly to the ground.
His beliefs collapsed, his hopes were shattered, and his strength was drained in an instant.
This powerful general who always rushed to the front of the battlefield, as if he was always full of energy, finally fell down.
"Come on, find a military doctor!"
Seeing this, Zhao Jia was shocked and yelled at the soldiers outside the door, feeling full of guilt.
He knew how cruel it was to let Sima Shang, a young and energetic young man who was always full of fighting spirit, accept such failure.
But as Zhao Jia said, can it be hidden?
Even if it can be hidden for a while, it cannot be hidden for too long.
When the truth was revealed, no one could bear the anger that broke out from Gu Yi's defenders.
Only then did Zhao Jia truly lose these people who sacrificed their lives for their family and country.
After the soldiers of the army carried Sima Shang away, Zhao Jia rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, "Transfer our military orders to burn down useful materials that cannot be taken away, and prepare to retreat!"
Zhao Jia's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's ears.
Although they were angry, confused and scared because of the surrender of Daiyi Guardians.
However, almost everyone knows the importance of Gu Yi to the entire Zhao State.
If you retreat at this time, you would be to hand over the entire Zhongshan old land to Yan State. For Zhao State, it would be an unacceptable loss.
To be continued...
