"Most of Shangdang has been captured by the Qin army. The Qin army can attack from the west and south. But as long as our army is firmly entrenched in Changping, it will be very difficult for the Qin army to capture it. The biggest weakness of our army now is
Food and grass." Lian Po said, pointing to the map.
Shangdang County was divided into two parts, one part belonged to Korea and the other part belonged to Zhao State. The Korean part was given to Zhao State by Feng Ting.
Now, it has been occupied by Qin State.
Behind Changping is Handan, so Zhao State must block Qin State from Changping no matter what.
Once Changping was breached, Qin could march straight in and invade the hinterland of Zhao.
At worst, the Zhao State was destroyed, and at worst, it was like the Qi State after the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, which had been unable to recover for decades.
"Defense is not possible, we must find a way to attack." Zhao Kuo shook his head.
"The advantage of our army lies in the cavalry. Can we send cavalry to harass the Qin army's food road?" Li Mu said.
"Shangdang's terrain is complex and not conducive to cavalry. Moreover, under this terrain, it would be too easy for the Qin army to encircle the cavalry. Our army only has five thousand elite cavalry and cannot afford to lose." Lian Po shook his head.
Li Mu did not give up. Instead, he pointed to a place on the map and said: "It is true that the vicinity of Changping is not suitable for cavalry, but this place is suitable."
Zhao Kuo looked at the place pointed by Li Mu, and it was Yewang City.
From the map, Yewang City was a nail set by the Qin State between the north bank of the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains. It continuously transported food and grass to the Qin army.
Moreover, it is surrounded by plains, making it difficult for the Qin army to encircle it.
"The view here is wide and it is not easy to encircle. Only a few thousand cavalry can cause a huge blow to the enemy." Li Mu said.
"If the cavalry's food and fodder supply can be solved, this plan is feasible," Tian Dan said.
Le Yi also nodded.
Lian Po wanted stability when leading his troops, but Tian Dan and Le Yi used their troops in an unscrupulous way, and liked to use small things to achieve greater results.
Zhao Jun's current situation is that if he blindly defends, he will definitely lose, but he will lose later.
If you want to reverse the situation, you can only seek wealth from danger.
Even if their opponent is Bai Qi, Tian Dan and Le Yi have nothing to fear.
You Bai Qi are indeed invincible and have never lost!
Make it look like no one is the same!
The two looked at each other and saw each other's plans.
"I didn't expect that you and I would actually think of each other." Le Yi laughed.
"If we lose, our reputation will be ruined for the rest of our lives." Tian Dan also smiled.
"The person who can defeat me, Le Yi, has not yet appeared."
"Wang Zhujun and Dupingjun mean to switch from defense to offense?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Yes, but we need to test the Qin army first to see if the Qin army's coach has been replaced." Le Yi pointed at Light Wolf City and said.
…
Shangdang County, Yewang City.
This used to be the channel for communication between South Korea and Shangdang. It was captured by Bai Qi two years ago and now serves as the bridgehead for Qin to attack the three Jin Dynasties.
In an ordinary courtyard in the city, a man in green clothes sat on a low bed, flipping through the bamboo slips in his hand.
The man's body is tall, his palms are wide and big, almost covering the entire bamboo slip, and his fingers are as slender as jade.
He looked at it very seriously, nodding from time to time, with a warm smile on his knife-like face, like a great scholar who had studied for many years, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
But when you stare at the man for a while, you will see the boundless sea of blood rolling behind him, and the murderous aura rising in the sky, like an endless hell.
At this time, someone suddenly walked into the courtyard, bowed to him and said, "Jun Wu'an, there is news from the State of Zhao that Zhao Kuo has set off from Handan. Counting the time, he should have arrived in Changping."
"Yeah." Bai Qi continued to read the book without raising his head.
"Xiang Guo's plan has been successful, I think we can..." Wang Lu said.
"There's no rush." Bai Qi said.
Wang Hao sighed.
He understood that Bai Qi was waiting for King Qin to ask him to take command, not that he was asking King Qin to fight.
This is Bai Qi's arrogance. Even when facing King Qin, he is unwilling to bow his head.
In his opinion, the monarch should treat the virtuous and virtuous subordinates and hold the whip for them.
At the beginning, King Qin did indeed do this.
However, as Bai Qi performed more and more meritorious services, the King of Qin became more and more jealous of him, and even began to be reluctant to let him lead troops.
"Should our army test it out first, or wait for Zhao Kuo to attack? You see..." Wang Lu said.
"You are the commander of the army, how can I make the decision for you?"
…
Here, the Zhao army is planning to launch a tentative attack on the Qin army.
"I think since it is a test, there is no need to have too many troops. About ten thousand people will be enough." Lian Po said.
"The Qin army has 600,000 troops. What can 10,000 people test? If you ask me, except for the army left to defend, all other armies will be dispatched." Le Yi said with great courage.
Zhao Kuo rubbed his head, not knowing who to listen to.
Do you want to listen to Lian Po? But the 10,000-strong army really can’t test anything.
Listen to Le Yi? What if the entire army is wiped out like in history?
"Report, General, there are traces of Qin troops moving forward." The scout rushed into the camp from outside in a panic.
Zhao Kuo was stunned. Before he started to attack, the Qin army took action first!
Then he quickly asked: "When? How far away is the vanguard?"
"Half an hour ago, the vanguard should be arriving at Danshui soon." The messenger said quickly.
"Beat the drum and summon all the soldiers." Zhao Kuo quickly put on his armor and walked outside.
"Dongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdong!"
The sound of three-way drums resounded through the military camp, and all the soldiers quickly rushed out of the camp wearing their armor and weapons.
…
"The whole army obeyed the order and forcibly crossed Danshui."
Wang Hao roared loudly, and a green light enveloped his two hundred thousand soldiers.
The Qin army's marching speed instantly increased by 50%, while its formation remained stable.
"Rumble!"
The heavy footsteps of the Qin army stepped on the ground, and the ground was shaking, as if thunder was constantly roaring in the nine heavens.
This is the shallowest place in Danshui. There is no need to build a pontoon bridge. The Qin army chose to force a crossing.
As the Qin army got closer and closer, the waves on the Danshui River were also shaken higher and higher, and finally the water waves were more than a foot high and kept lapping at the river bank.
The feet, ankles, calves, knees... the soldier's body was constantly flooded with alchemy water.
The soldiers of the Qin army walking in the front were the tallest. Each of them wore a layer of armor and held a giant shield in their hands. They were the first shield guards of the Qin army.
"General, do you want to shoot an arrow?"
"hold on."
Li Mu watched the Qin army cross the Danshui little by little, his lips trembling slightly, his hands tightly grasping the barrel of the gun, his fingers turning white. It depends on this time whether he is a famous general or just a joke.
This is the first time he has participated in a war of such a scale. In comparison, the war between Northern Xinjiang and the Huns was simply a child's play.
"Fire the arrow."
The moment the first Qin soldier stepped ashore, Li Mu gave the order.
"Puff puff!"
The sky was filled with arrows that were shot out densely, arcing across the sky and falling towards the Qin army.
"Everyone kill with me!"
Following Li Mu's loud roar, the Zhao army soldiers roared towards the Qin army.
"Not good!" Wang Hao was shocked.
Soldiers with combat experience all know that crossing the river is the most dangerous, so without the general reminding everyone, everyone will tense up and be vigilant to be prepared for Zhao's surprise attack.
But when someone successfully crosses the river, everyone's tense heartstrings will instantly relax.
Because in everyone's subconscious mind, it is safe after crossing the river.
The Zhao generals obviously took advantage of this mentality and launched an attack when the Qin army was most relaxed.
"This general of the State of Zhao is not an ordinary person. The State of Zhao is really full of talents. It's a pity that the pearl has secretly chosen him."
Wang Hao waved his long sword, and a layer of khaki light enveloped all the soldiers. Thick war clouds rolled like a mountain suspended in the air, blocking the rain of arrows. Only a few arrows fell on the soldiers, causing minor injuries to less than a hundred people.
"The Immovable Mountain Formation! I want to see if your mountain is stronger or my spear is stronger."
