Yang Duanhe's doubts after receiving Wang Ben's letter were quickly answered. The Korean army and the Wei army joined forces and gave up the mutual assistance advantages formed by the original Korean army camp, Wei army camp, and Pucheng. This only allowed
One explanation-the Korean army was short of food.
But from Yang Duanhe's perspective, the Wei army was also short of food. Now that tens of thousands more mouths were added to the Han army, how long could Lian Po's camp last?
He had been paying close attention to the smoke from the cooking chambers of Lian Po's camp. A few days ago, he first noticed that the smoke from the cooking pots was continuously decreasing. However, since the merger of the Han and Wei armies, the smoke from the cooking pots has maintained a fixed amount every day without any change.
This discovery moved him, but he did not act rashly.
"According to common sense, the enemy army should be almost unable to hold on at this moment. Why is the amount of smoke rising every day not decreasing at all? Could it be that Lian Po is trying to spread suspicion? What do you think?" Yang Duanhe gathered the generals.
asked.
"I think the general is right. Lian Po is just trying to hide the enemy's lack of food. He is afraid that our army will attack by force. General, we have been waiting for a while now. It's time for a general attack."
"That's right, General. The soldiers have long known about this lack of food, and have been looking forward to going up and beating them! But who can stand still for many days in a row~"
Li Xin stepped out, raised his head and said: "Weizhuang is proficient in the art of war. How could he not know that joining forces in one place would do more harm than good. But he still acted like this for no other reason than lack of food. And the Wei army also had no food, so the two families
There must be something dirty in the army. If our army takes this opportunity to attack, they will only be wiped out. Therefore, Lian Po used this tactic to make us dare not move forward. General, please order me to attack Lian Po's camp.
.”
The generals reacted quickly and clasped their fists together, "General, what Li Xin said makes sense. I'll fight!"
Gai Nie stood aside and felt that Li Xin's analysis was reasonable and reasonable. He thought so too, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. He wanted to object out loud, but he couldn't find a reason, so he could only remain silent.
"Report——an urgent letter from General Wang Ben."
The soldiers outside the tent shouted and rushed in. Yang Duanhe quickly walked down and took the leather wallet from the soldier's hand and opened the letter.
"Okay! Soldiers, the fighter plane has arrived."
After reading the letter, he patted his thigh, walked back to his seat and patted the letter on the case.
"Wang Ben wrote a letter. Li Teng, a hundred commander under his command, was captured by Wei Zhuang before. Now he escaped from the enemy camp during the chaos and brought the true situation of the enemy camp. Lian Po's camp has been out of food, and the Han army and the Wei army are fighting.
Food distribution has broken out into cholera.
Hum, there is insufficient copper and iron, the soldiers and armor are not repaired, the food supply is cut off, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. We have finally arrived to destroy these 150,000 soldiers."
When the generals heard this, excitement appeared on their faces.
"No wonder this Lian Po has to cover himself up with cooking smoke. His army doesn't need us to fight. It's almost going to collapse without a fight, hahaha."
"Yes, general, give the order."
"General, give the order quickly."
Yang Duanhe, who had also been patient for a long time, stood on his position with his sword in hand and issued the order sonorously: "Okay, generals, listen to the order!"
"Here~"
"The army will attack immediately and destroy Lian Po!"
"promise."
"In addition, Pucheng Gongsun Yao needs to be guarded against him, Li Xin."
"The end will be here."
"You lead 30,000 troops and keep an eye on Gongsun Yao. If he dares to lead his troops out of the city, you will capture Pucheng. If he does not move, you will guard him for me."
When Li Xin heard the general calling him, he thought it was some important mission, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with the war. He was dumbfounded, his eyes widened and he stuttered: "General? I'm not? I, as promised, am the vanguard?"
Yang Duanhe pointed at him and laughed and cursed: "Haha, you won the victory of climbing Yuancheng first, and you have to kick Lianpo's camp first. After this, Pucheng, Yanshi, don't you even want to drink soup?"
Give it to your colleagues? The young general is too conceited."
The other generals also laughed.
Li Xin scratched his head, clasped his fists and shouted "No" before retreating.
The joking ended here, Yang Duanhe unsheathed his sword and said, "Capture Lian Po and the Qin Dynasty will be victorious!"
All the generals also shouted in unison: "Capture Lianpo and the Qin Dynasty will be victorious!"
Yang Duan and his army moved out, and Wang Ben's cavalry also galloped out, and a decisive battle suddenly began.
Moments before the Qin army decided to launch a general offensive, a tragic scene was staged in the Lianpo camp.
"General Lian Po, if you are unwilling to take action, I can do it for you." Wei Zhuang's shark teeth showed a little edge, and the temperature in the big tent dropped a lot.
Lian Po looked at a Wei officer kneeling in front of him, his eyes struggling a little.
"What's the matter? The general is old, but he doesn't understand the principle of not being in charge of troops?"
Mei Sanniang couldn't help but yell at the cold-faced white-haired man: "Weizhuang, shut up."
"Hmm~"
Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes. There was no distinction between men and women in his eyes. The shark-tooth sword flashed and struck Mei Sanniang.
"Dang~"
"Uh-huh~" Mei Sanniang grunted, her sword could barely block the sharp shark teeth, and the agitated sword energy scratched her skin. The seven-layer armored mind was no different from paper under Wei Zhuang's sword.
"Hmph~" Wei Zhuang never thought of killing her. He gave her a lesson and put the sword back into its sheath. "I'll give you a piece of advice: learn to be patient when facing people who are stronger than you."
"You——" Mei Sanniang looked at him fiercely, but she was not strong enough and did not dare to continue the attack.
The officer who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stared at Lian Po and said: "General, if my death can make the soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy and save the great Wei State Zuo, then Liang Dai's death will be well deserved."
"Liang Dai, you..."
"General, Wei Guo, please!"
Liang Dai, the grain and grass officer, gave the general Lian Po one last hard look. He immediately pulled out his sword and cut himself with the sword. The blood stained his clothes and armor and gradually turned into a pool.
Lian Po knelt down on one knee, picked up Liang Dai's sword, and choked with sobs, ordered: "Liang Dai, the grain and grass officer, stole the grain and grass in his custody, deducted grain and grass, and distributed unfairly. Now he beheaded in public and sent an order to the three armies. All officers and men in the army should have a full meal immediately and fight with the Qin army.
Fight to the death."
Wei Zhuang's indifferent eyes closed slightly and instantly became more determined.
Mei Sanniang tried her best to hold back the various emotions tumbling in her heart, walked over, lifted Liang Dai's head, and walked out without saying a word to give orders to the three armies.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of Han and Wei all knew that the issue of grain and grass in the army was caused by the grain and grass officials engaging in malpractice and stealing from the guards. Then everyone was able to have a full meal, so the morale of the army quickly recovered.
Lian Po was in the big tent, gathering the generals. His old eyes were full of determination to die - he has lived enough. If he doesn't succeed in today's battle, he will be benevolent.
"Yang Duanhe's attack was within my expectation. All generals will obey the order!"
"Here~"
"In the front of the camp, the wounded, old and weak were used as bait, allowing Yang Duan and the army to rush into the camp without any scruples. When they were in the urn, all the ambush troops came out and strangled Yang Duan and him here."
The generals only felt that today's old general was extraordinary, and they all felt cold in their hearts and took orders one after another.
"Celebration."
"The end will be here."
"The king's iron cavalry will also be dispatched in this battle. You lead your soldiers to wait for work and destroy him."
"The general will obey his orders."
"Mei Sanniang."
"exist."
"You lead your troops to assist in the ceremony and defeat Wang Ben."
"promise."
"Weizhuang."
Wei Zhuang stood there, waiting for Lian Po's order.
Lian Po looked at him seriously, "I'll leave it to you to cut off Yang Duan and his retreat."
The sword light flashed in Wei Zhuang's eyes, "He can't run away."
