Chapter 470: Evacuation of the Girder (4)
In fact, the casualties of the defenders in this battle were also very heavy, with more than 7,400 soldiers killed and more than 3,200 wounded, and 12 ships were sunk, including five large ships. The raft also lost more than one hundred and twenty people.
However, the results of this sortie are also huge, although the plateau does not know the losses of the Qin army, but from the perspective of the battlefield, the losses of the Qin army will never be smaller than the defenders, and in terms of water warfare, the Dai army has achieved an absolute superiority victory, and the cofferdam of the Qin army has also been dug more than a dozen gaps, two of which reach five or six zhang wide, which is the biggest result of this sortie.
Because this sortie is not only to respond to the arrival of the fleet, but also to deal a heavy blow to the Qin army, so that the Qin army will be busy repairing the cofferdam after the war, and will not care about it flawlessly, so that the plateau can also lead other armies to break through the encirclement by boat. Gao Yuan didn't know, in fact, he wanted to break through, Wang Jian raised his hands in agreement, and he couldn't wait to line up to say goodbye, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time dismantling.
After the soldiers and warships returned, the second fleet also docked at the city wall one after another, and this fleet had a total of 307 ships, including 10 large warships, 20 medium-sized warships, and the others included 62 large cargo ships, 183 medium-sized cargo ships, and 32 small cargo ships. Together with the existing ships, there are more than 380 ships of various types, which can accommodate about 50,000 people. If you add rafts, it is enough to take away 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Without waiting for the soldiers to go back to rest, the plateau was like the soldiers announcing that the fleet had arrived, and all the soldiers could leave the girder by boat early tomorrow morning, highlighting the encirclement of the Qin army.
After listening to the announcement of the plateau, all the soldiers immediately let out a burst of cheers, although before the battle, the soldiers of the Wei army were determined to fight to the death with the Qin army, but after all, there was a glimmer of life, no one wanted to die, and now seeing so many ships coming, the plateau announced that it would break through early in the morning, so they all had the hope of surviving, and they were naturally very excited.
When the soldiers' feelings calmed down a little, Gao Yuan ordered the soldiers with their families to go home immediately, pick up their families, get on the ship immediately, spend the night on the boat tonight, and set sail early tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army was now busy filling the gap, and suddenly saw the encirclement of the Qin army. However, all personnel were required to set off lightly, and could only carry a small amount of gold and copper coins with them, and the rest of the bulky and bulky things were all discarded.
When the soldiers with their families heard this, they immediately rushed back to their lodgings with joy, while the soldiers who had no families rested on the city walls for the night, waiting to get on the boat.
However, there are still nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and they can only take about 80,000 at a time, and they can only take away the soldiers and their families, while the rest of the residents can only stay in the city. But there was no other way on the plateau, because there were only so many ships, and even if the number of ships doubled, it would be impossible to take the whole city away, so they could only be left to fend for themselves in Daliang.
And Gao Yuan also instructed Lu Renjie to disperse the excess grain in the city to the residents who stayed in the city, which can be regarded as a little compensation for them, because before the Qin army besieged the city, Daliang City had a large amount of grain in reserve, although it was trapped for more than eight months, there are still more than one million stones of surplus grain in the city, and each household can be divided into at least twenty stones, if it is in normal times, these grains can almost be enough for a family to eat for two years, which is also a lot of wealth. Of course, after the Qin army entered the city, whether it would slaughter the city to vent its anger, the plateau did not know, so he could only resign himself to fate.
After dealing with these things, Gao Yuan ordered Zhao Jiang and E Zhengyu to take responsibility for organizing and arranging personnel to get on the boat, and at the same time steaming cakes and cooking rice and boiling water on the city wall, as dry food and drinking water on the road. Because most of the places in Daliang City are flooded now, they can only start a fire on the city wall, so after the sky falls late, the lights on the city wall are bright, people come and go, and it is very lively.
Of course, Gao Yuan didn't have time to take care of these things, but immediately rushed to the palace on a raft with Wei Zeng to ask King Wei for leave. Since handing over all the affairs of Daliang to Gao Yuan, Wei Wang Jiao has also completely let go, and has not interfered in any way with Gao Yuan, and he has not even been out of the palace. Although Gao Yuan didn't have much of a good impression of Wei Wangfake, the impression was not bad.
But in any case, Wei Wangjiao is also the monarch of Wei, and now that he wants to evacuate Daliang, he must take Wei Wangjiao away. As for the breakthrough after the breakout, how to place the Wei Wang's fake can only be said after the breakthrough. If the King of Wei pretends to go to Daijun, it is not impossible, but after arriving in Daijun, Wang Wei can only live as a commoner, and the plateau can only ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing, and there are no other rights.
Although it was getting late at this time, Gao Yuan and Wei Zeng asked to see King Wei fake, and the guards guarding the palace did not dare to stop them, so they immediately entered the palace to report to King Wei. After a while, King Wei issued a fake edict and invited the two to enter.
After entering the palace, after Gao Yuan and Wei Zeng paid a fake greeting to the King of Wei, the King of Wei faked and said: "Wu Anjun, Ancheng Jun, you came to the palace late at night to see the widow, I don't know what is important." ”
Gao Yuan said: "King, now the city of Daliang has been completely flooded, the city wall has collapsed in three places, Daliang City is broken, it has been in the evening, so you can't stay in Daliang City for a long time, now the rescue fleet has reached Daliang, so please go out of the palace immediately and get on the boat, we will break through early tomorrow morning." ”
King Wei pretended to hear this, was stunned, and said, "Is Daliang unable to hold on?" ”
Wei Zeng said: "King, in order to defend the Liang, Wu Anjun has done his best, the last time he aided the Wei State, Wu Anjun once said that to break through the Liang, the water of the Yellow River can only be diverted to irrigate it, so the last time Wu Anjun went all out to guard Xingkou, so that the Qin army did not have the opportunity to release the water, but this time it was ......" Speaking of this, Wei Zheng also smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "In short, the city of Daliang is broken, not a crime of war, and it is not Wu Anjun's Tsuji." ”
After listening to Wei Zeng's words, the King of Wei was stunned for a while, and then muttered: "The city of Daliang is broken, and it is not a crime of war, so is it the will of heaven to kill my Great Wei?" ”
When Wei Zeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, if it weren't for Wei Ping and Wei Yan, the clan clans were making trouble for a while, would the situation in Wei State fall to this point? Therefore, it is not too much to say that it is the death of the Wei Kingdom.
Gao Yuan said: "There is not much time now, please prepare quickly, break through with us, and don't make mistakes." ”
King Wei was stunned for a moment, and said: "After breaking through, what can I do, the Great Wei has perished, and the widow has nowhere to go." ”
Gao Yuan frowned and said: "Although the Wei State is dead, the king can still settle down in the Qi country, or the king is willing to go to Daijun, I also welcome it, I dare not guarantee other things, but it is still possible to let the king have no worries about food and clothing, and live the second half of his life safely." ”
When King Wei heard this, he couldn't help but let out a loud laugh and said, "Live the rest of your life safely?" A king who has died in the country, can he still live the second half of his life safely? Where is Han Wangan now, and where is Zhao Wangqian? Have they all passed the second half of their lives safely? So they are, and how can the widow be spared? ”
Wei Zeng said in a trembling voice: "The king, Han Wang'an and Zhao Wangqian were both captured by the Qin army, so they died unexpectedly, but the king is different. As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Yuan and said, "As long as the king is not captured by the Qin army, the minister believes that Wu Anjun will treat the king well." ”
King Wei's fake laughter stopped abruptly and said, "No need, in fact, the widow has long thought that there will be today, so he has been prepared for a long time." As he spoke, he picked up a small white cloth bag on his desk and said, "This is the preparation of the widow, since the widow succeeded to the throne, he has been subject to others and cannot be autonomous, but this time no one can control the widow anymore." ”
Wei Zhen let out a sad cry and said, "The king ......"
King Wei waved his hand, a little interested, and said: "The widow will not break through with you, you go, don't pay attention to the widow anymore, and let the widow be quiet for a few days before the Great Liang City is broken." ”
Wei Zeng wanted to say something more, but Gao Yuan was clear that King Wei had made up his mind, and it was difficult to change it, of course, Gao Yuan didn't want to persuade King Wei to change his mind, because it was indeed a big trouble to take King Wei away, but out of morality, he had to come and ask King Wei to leave with him, since King Wei didn't want to leave, it was no wonder that he didn't want to go.
Therefore, Gao Yuan gave a false salute to the king of Wei and said: "Since the king has made up his mind, then we can only respect the decision of the king of Dà, please cherish the king, and we will say goodbye to the king." Then he turned to Wei Zheng and said, "An Chengjun, let's go." ”
With tears in his eyes, Wei Zeng knelt on the ground, bowed to King Wei three times in a row, and said, "Please cherish the king." Then he got up and left the palace with Takahar.
After leaving the palace, the two of them did not stop for a moment, and immediately rushed to the city wall. At this time, the city wall is already brightly lit, and there are more than 100 cauldrons, steaming hot, smoky, the "avoidance" sound of firewood burning, the "purring" sound after the water is boiled, and the "zizi" sound of steaming and cooking, ringing into a piece, although there is a piece of autumn wind, but also showing a hot scene.
At this time, many soldiers had already received their families and were lining up to board the ship in order, although the queue was very long, but it was orderly and not chaotic at all.
The plateau leaned on the battlements and looked in the direction of the Qin army's camp, only to see that the Qin army's camp was brightly lit, but it was also very lively on the cofferdam, and the Qin army was obviously busy filling the gap.
Therefore, Gao Yuan was also a little relieved, hoping that the Qin army had not noticed that he was going to break through tomorrow, so that when he broke through, he could also reduce some losses.
