Meng Tian and Wang Ben looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. Before they could say anything, the scouts had already sent the news.
As expected of a prince, he acted extremely quickly.
Such a thought just flashed through Meng Tian's mind, and then he woke up and said to the scout.
"Please send the messenger back to the Crown Prince. I will cooperate with the Crown Prince and the general!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, the scout turned and left. Meng Tian then turned to Wang Bi and said, "The prince's method of calculating people's hearts is really superb."
"As expected of the Crown Prince, he is truly a god!"
At this moment, Wang Ben was also frightened and inexplicable, but he knew that when he walked forward, he had not yet decided to attack Anyang, and the news that Anyang city was broken arrived at the same time as him.
Obviously, all of this was calculated by Ying Gao, otherwise, it would not have been such a coincidence.
"Sima of the Chinese Army sent an order for the army to approach Wu'an, contain the Zhao army in Wu'an, and create conditions for the crown prince Chen to march to Handan."
"promise."
After giving the order, the army quickly set off and pressed towards Wu'an.
As the city of Anyang was destroyed, the news gradually spread, and the entire Zhao Kingdom suddenly trembled, especially Li Mu who got the news.
Jingxingguan.
Li Mu Camp.
"Wu'an Jun, news came from Handan that the Qin prince Ying Gao led a large army to attack Anyang and seize Ye County. There is no danger to defend outside Handan."
The scout turned to Li Mu impassionedly and said, "Prime Minister and Prime Minister Ya, I will tell Lord Wu An that General Sima will stay in Handan and be in charge of recruiting troops."
"Ya Xiang is responsible for the defense of Handan City, and the main force of the Qin army relies on Lord Wu'an."
…
Hearing this, Li Mu's face suddenly turned ugly, and for a moment he looked even paler.
He knew in his heart that everything was fine and smooth in the face of the three-pronged army defense and the Qin army's three-pronged attack.
However, as Ying Gao defeated Anyang and captured Ye County, there was no danger to defend outside Handan City, which caused the balance to be easily broken.
Next, they will be at a disadvantage and the trouble will be more difficult.
"Send the order and send more scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army. I will know Wang Jian's every move!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Chinese army turned and left. Although the military order had been issued, Li Mu was not at all calm in his heart.
Although he had defeated Wang Jian, Li Mu deeply realized that this time was completely different from the last time.
And the most important thing is that this time they were responsible for the defense. The Qin army traveled thousands of miles, and the initiative in the war was never with them.
At this moment, only by understanding the Qin army's offensive posture can they better deploy their defense.
When he thought of this, Li Mu's heart was filled with sadness. The initiative in the war was completely lost. Even if he had 100% of his strength, he could only use 70% of it.
He did not underestimate Wang Jian at all.
In Li Mu's view, Wang Jian was by no means a simple person who could teach a disciple like Ying Gao. What's more, the King of Qin gave the commander of the army that destroyed Zhao to Wang Jian instead of Ying Gao, which is enough to explain a big problem.
Strong enemy!
Wang Jian is his destined enemy.
…
Wang Jian shogunate.
At this moment, everyone including captains and generals above were in the shogunate. Wang Jian looked solemn and held the pole in his hand.
"Everyone, our troops will be the main force in destroying Zhao this time. This is Jingxing Pass, the heart of the Zhao Kingdom."
"This place connects Daijun above and Shangdang below, so it is very important to capture this place. Based on the terrain surveyed before, the general decided to divide the main army into five camps."
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"The general is here, please give the order, general!"
Wang Jian's eyes were like a torch, passing over the faces of every military commander, and finally landed on Zhang Han. At the same time, the pole in his hand landed on a point on the map, and he gave an order decisively, saying.
"The first one is the former military camp. They are stationed in the mountains on both sides and directly attack Jingxingguan."
"Zhang Han!" Wang Jian shouted loudly as soon as he finished speaking.
Upon hearing his name, Zhang Han's expression straightened up instantly. He suppressed the joy deep in his heart and said loudly: "The general will be here."
"You will lead the 30,000-strong army. We will mobilize the crossbow battalion, the ladder battalion and some cavalry to cooperate."
"We have a total of 50,000 troops. Tell me, general, to conquer Jingxing Pass. Can you do it?"
At this moment, all the generals in the shogunate cast envious glances at Zhang Han. They all knew that the one who led the attack had the most military exploits.
Moreover, this time to destroy Zhao, there were so many generals in the army. Once dispersed, they might not get any chance to fight at all.
Ignoring the looks of others, Zhang Han answered decisively, "The last general will live up to his mission and fight to the death for Da Qin and your Majesty!"
Seeing the impassioned Zhang Han, Wang Jian also nodded slightly and said: "This time, the front army has gathered all the heavy crossbows and siege equipment in the entire army. Therefore, the front army is the key to attacking Jingxing Pass."
"The front army rotates every half a month and must always put strong pressure on Zhao Jun."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhang Han felt happy. He knew in his heart that the Caiguan Battalion under his command was an attacking force that concentrated large-scale equipment.
This time we attacked Jingxingguan, no one else would be willing to do it.
Looking away from Zhang Han, Wang Jian moved the pole in his hand forward and landed on the east side of Mianman Shuidong. He gave the order decisively and said.
"The second camp is set up here. This place is east of the Mianman River, five miles away from the former army, and is stationed by Feng Jie's troops."
"The third camp is also five miles away from the front army, located to the west of Mianman River, and is stationed by Feng Quji's troops."
Having said this, Wang Jian took a deep look at Feng Quji and Feng Jie, the father and son, and said: "The two of them each lead an army of 30,000 troops to support the front army at any time and block the possibility of entering Jingxing Mountain from the outside to rescue Zhao.
The soldiers and horses of the frontier army cover and protect the front army."
"Tell me, general, do you have confidence?"
Hearing this, Feng Jie and Feng Quji looked at each other, and both father and son saw excitement deep in each other's eyes.
"General, please rest assured, I will be confident!"
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Wang Jian continued to speak and said: "The fourth camp is located in the Taoshui River Valley, fifteen miles away from the front army and ten miles away from the two camps of Mianmanshui."
"This camp is the main camp of the Chinese army. This general is personally in charge, leading an elite army of infantry and cavalry to support the various armies in the center."
At this time, Wang Jian looked solemn and said in a deep voice to the generals: "At the same time, our department is responsible for intercepting any Shandong reinforcements that may rescue Zhao, so as to ensure that the front army has no worries."
At this time, everyone's eyes became hot. They all knew that there was only one battalion left besides the Chinese army, which meant that all of them had to fight for this battalion.
Wang Jian saw the mood changes of the generals in his eyes and said decisively: "The fifth fortress is also stationed in Taoshui Valley, three miles away from our army, and is a supply camp."
Having said this, Wang Jian spoke in a low tone, "The baggage camp is composed of Ma Xing's grain and grass camp and Zhaoping's weapons camp."
"Xin Sheng led 10,000 iron eagle warriors to guard the transport camp."
