Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six Mastering the Barbarians to Control Barbarians (2 in 1)
The Zhongmou battlefield was called a cemetery by scouts from both sides.
Lian Po and Wei Wuji sent their knights with all their strength to intercept Bai Qi's scouts, whether they were coming or rushing from Bai Qi to other battlefields. At this time, it was already mid-February. Although the weather was cold, it was colder than before.
, it was still a lot better. Just as the scouts were thankful that they had escaped the bitter opponent, they encountered such an unprecedented scout battle. They never thought that nearly 200,000 people from both sides were fighting, and the scouts actually became
The military unit with the greatest casualties!!
A month ago, Zhao Kuo wrote a letter to Lian Po.
At that time, Zhao Kuo was desperate for the war. The Zhao army had no food and grass. Zhao Kuo's main force was seriously short of food. The same was true in several other areas. If the consumption continued like this, there would be no need for the Qin people to attack.
, the Zhao army will starve to death and suffer a great rout. On the other hand, the time for spring planting is getting closer and closer, but the territory of Zhao State is still empty, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers still on the battlefield.
If the war had not been ended earlier, I don’t know how serious the famine would have been this year.
Desperate Zhao Kuo gave Lian Po the order to attack. He told Lian Po to join forces with the Wei people. Bai Qi's main force was most likely in the direction of Hanoi. I can't give you too many soldiers. Please
You don't want to engage in a head-on battle with Bai Qi. You can use mobile warfare in which the enemy advances and we retreat. He also gave Lian Po a sixteen-character policy. He said: If you call someone else to fight like this, I'm afraid the enemy will not be defeated yet.
He himself was already defeated.
Take me for example, even though I know this method, I can't do it. I can't constantly organize the soldiers to fight against the enemy during the march. You are different. You are Lianpo, so you can definitely do it.
Lian Po carefully studied the sixteen words sent by Zhao Kuo. He was extremely happy as if he had found a treasure. Zhao Kuo's compliments also inspired the old general. Every time he sent a letter from Zhao Kuo, he was very happy.
Lian Po didn't know if it was his own illusion that he felt a different kind of admiration. He always felt that the young Ma Fujun had a vague sense of dependence on him as an elder. Every time he said that he had been
When I learned about General Lian Po, his eyes were extremely bright and admiring.
Lian Po felt a little complicated, but he didn't want to let down this young man who trusted him extremely.
After successfully rendezvousing with Wei Wuji, Zhao Kuo sent his last letter.
He said: Please entangle Bai Qi and cut off the scouts around him so that he cannot intervene in the northern battlefield.
As a result, there were countless knights wandering outside the armies of both sides. These knights were constantly intercepting and killing the surrounding scouts. Communication between Bai Qi and the northern army was directly interrupted. After Bai Qi understood Lian Po's intentions, he also sent many
There were few knights, and the cavalry of both sides kept fighting around, hunting each other's scouts. The contact between Lian Po and Zhao Kuo was also interrupted, but Lian Po was not in a hurry, as he was not the leader of the army.
Sitting on his knees by the campfire, Bai Qi lowered his head and drew something on the soil in front of him with his fingers.
Several generals stood around him and took a sneak peek. Bai Qi drew a huge map, omitting many cities and towns. Bai Qi only marked eight important places, Handan, Boyang, and Ge.
Nie, Wu'an, She, Lu, eldest son, Zhongmou... After marking the place names, Bai Qi stared at the map and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Zhao Kuo is besieging Wang Lu."
Several generals around were shocked and asked hurriedly: "Our scouts were unable to deliver the order, and Wang Lu's scouts were also intercepted and killed by Lian Po. How did you know?"
Bai Qi said seriously: "The reason why Lian Po wants to entangle me and cut off my contact with the northern armies is because Zhao Kuo wants to take the opportunity to destroy Wang Lu's army. Facing him, Zhao Kuo has a military advantage.
, What's more, Wang Lu looks down on Zhao Kuo at all and thinks that Zhao Kuo is a fool pushed up by us. I asked him to attack before to involve Zhao Kuo's main army. I don't want Zhao Kuo and Lian Po to attack us again.
It's my fault."
"Wang He attacked She, Zhao Kuo could take a detour and take the eldest son, cut off Wang He's contact with the Shangdang, and then besiege Wang He in Zhao's territory. She was a small town and could not resist Wang He's army. Zhao Kuo
Kuo should take the initiative to give up She and lead General Wang Lu to Wu'an for a pincer attack... The roads here in Wu'an are dangerous and there is no way to retreat... If he is besieged, the entire army will be destroyed...", Bai Qi wrinkled
He frowned, no longer as indifferent as before.
The generals of the Qin State looked a little panicked at this moment. Wang Hao had an army of 100,000. If he was completely wiped out, the blow to the Qin State would be huge, and it might even cause the entire war situation to reverse.
At that time, the Qin State would lose all its advantages and be in a passive position. They started to make a noise. Several generals couldn't help but walked up to Bai Qi and said, "General, I will personally take the knights to Lucheng tomorrow."
Wait for some exploration."
"No need... no need for scouts, Lian Po will tell me personally whether my prediction is correct." Bai Qi looked at the deputy general on the side and said: "Please tell Meng Ao to abandon Anyang and go straight to Bo
Yang, attack Zhao Changcheng."
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but he was a little suspicious in his heart. Could it be that Lian Po had also been bribed by Qin?
"Meng Ao rushes to Boyang??" Lian Po looked at the warrior who came to deliver the message in surprise. This warrior was Wei Wuji's retainer and an incredible talent. He was proficient in Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, and Yan.
In the words of the Six Nations, it is a waste to let such talents be responsible for transmitting information from both sides. Lian Po looked at him and said hurriedly: "Please tell Lord Xinling to stop Meng Ao's advance. Boyang is empty, if
If he takes it, Handan will be in danger!"
The warrior nodded and hurriedly left here.
Immediately, Wei Wuji ordered his troops to fight with Meng Ao. The two sides fought against Anyang. Meng Ao took the lead and was so brave that it was difficult to stop Wei Wuji. Unable to resist, Wei Wuji retreated continuously towards the direction of Huangcheng.
And this news even reached Bai Qi.
Looking at the confused generals in front of him, Bai Qi said: "If Zhao Kuo's main force is in Boyang, why did Wei Wuji stop Meng Ao and want to lead him to the direction of Huangcheng? They blocked it like this, which means that,
Zhao Kuo's main force is not at Zhao Changcheng. As I said, his main force is fighting Wang Lu. Now Boyang and other areas are empty cities and there are not many troops."
"Then should we go and support General Wang Lu?"
The deputy general asked seriously.
Bai Qi looked at the map in front of him again. He shook his head and said, "Instruct Meng Ao to attack Ge Ni. The whole army will be prepared and follow me to attack Boyang."
Bai Qi's subsequent march direction completely destroyed Lian Po's idea of continuing to pester him. Zhao Kuo's army was trying to destroy the Qin army in the north. At this moment, although the Zhao Great Wall could not be said to be empty, the defense was still very weak.
At least, they couldn't stop Bai Qi. Bai Qi attacked in the direction of Boyang, and Meng Ao attacked Ge Ni. Their goal was actually the same place, Handan City.
When you cross the Great Wall from Boyang, you can see the outline of Handan City.
From Ge Nie, you can perfectly bypass the Zhao Great Wall, pass through the crowds, and reach Handan directly.
Bai Qi's march route just caught Lian Po's Achilles' heel. Lian Po could no longer make concessions. He had to stop Bai Qi. If Handan fell, Zhao would be destroyed. This was something Lian Po would never allow.
, However, in front of Bai Qi, Lian Po was at a disadvantage in terms of both the quantity and quality of his soldiers. Even in terms of the quality of the lower-level generals and officers, the Qin army was far superior to the Zhao army.
Lian Po pondered for a long time, and finally made the decision to retreat. With Wei Wuji retreating to Ge Nie, and himself retreating to Boyang, the strength gap between the two sides would not be so obvious in the siege battle.
Bai Qi was afraid that Bai Qi could capture Boyang in one battle and directly threaten Handan. At that time, Lian Po would no longer be entangled, so both sides marched towards the two cities at the same time.
On the Zhongmou battlefield, such a strange scene occurred.
The armies of both sides rushed on the road at the same time, neither attacking the other, resting at the same time, and marching at the same time. Compared with Bai Qi's leisurely pace, Lian Po still accelerated his marching speed. He had to enter the city before Bai Qi. The two sides fought for it, relying on
Being familiar with the terrain and not having as much food as the Qin people, Lian Po arrived at Boyang two days in advance. Boyang's current guard was only a captain with more than 5,000 people.
This made Lian Po breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, if Bai Qi's army started to attack the city, even if he attacked from behind, the five thousand people in the city would not be able to hold on for a day. By that time,
He could only watch Bai Qi march into Handan and pursue him desperately. After entering the city, Lian Po carried out a series of defensive measures. The first was to send soldiers to set fire to the surrounding forests.
If the Qin people wanted to attack the city, they definitely needed to build siege equipment, and Lian Po wanted to destroy their raw materials.
I have to say that Lian Po's approach was right. Bai Qi was stationed outside the city, and his soldiers went out everywhere to cut down dense forests. They were extremely busy. However, the wood around here was still not enough, so they needed to spend more time.
On the same day, they went to look for wood further afield, and good news also came from Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji successfully entered Ge'ie. Ge'ie was different from Boyang in that it was a very small township.
However, fortunately, with the Great Wall and the people behind it, we act as horns to support each other.
Meng Ao also set up camp and prepared siege equipment.
Now three or four days later, Lian Po suddenly realized something was wrong. Bai Qi attacked Boyang because he saw that Zhao Kuo's main force was not here. He should rush to attack the city because Zhao Kuo's main force could be there at any time.
He came back to support, but it was really wrong for him to spend so long preparing to attack the city. Lian Po did not hesitate and hurriedly sent a group of knights to explore the Qin camp opposite.
Lian Po now suspected that Bai Qi had left the empty stronghold behind, while he left with the main force.
However, when Lian Po's knights had just arrived at the gate of the opponent's camp, the Qin people suddenly rushed out with arrows like rain. Most of the thousand elite knights fell instantly. Bai Qi did not leave. He was
Do you do this on purpose, trying to lure me into attacking? Lian Po thought to himself, and hurriedly opened the city gate to let the rest of the knights into the city. However, Lian Po could not remain indifferent to the camp. If Bai Qi deliberately made him think that there was an ambush outside the city, and
Did you leave by yourself?
Therefore, Lian Po would send out scouts to investigate every once in a while. The scouts who came back alive reported that the Qin people were indeed building siege equipment. Judging from the number of people they saw, the Qin people were absolutely outnumbered.
It was more than 50,000 to 60,000. Bai Qi's main force was here and had not left. Lian Po felt a little relieved after hearing the news. It was a good thing that Bai Qi was dragged here by him.
Mr. Ma Fu can free his hands to deal with the Qin people's partial troops.
A few days later, Wei Wuji's retainers came again and conveyed a very important message to Lian Po. Meng Ao's camp was empty and his whereabouts were unknown. He should have left towards Bai Qi. Lian Po felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He climbed onto the city wall again and looked into the distance. This was not Bai Qi's main force at all. What was here was Meng Ao's army. Bai Qi relied on the time difference between his scouts to deliver the news, which made Lian Po mistakenly think that he was confronting Bai Qi.
, and where will his main force be now?
Lian Po was shocked and hurriedly asked Wei Wuji to rush to Boyang, and the soldiers in the city were also ready to attack.
............
Outside Wu'an City, the sun was burning like fire.
Zhao Kuo and Wang Lu fought for three days.
Zhao Kuo never thought that it would be so difficult to completely wipe out the Qin people. He probably underestimated the Qin deputy general. Even though Wang Hao was besieged from all sides by the Zhao people, he still put up a tenacious resistance.
The army faced four directions, with reserves left in the middle, constantly fighting with the Zhao people. Li Mu fought out of the city, and Zhao Kuo's army attacked from three sides, but they could not advance. Under the circumstances of being surrounded
, the people of Qin became more and more fierce.
Wang Hao rode in military chariots and repelled six attacks from Zhao Kuo's forward army.
During this period, he replaced three chariots and ten drivers.
The soldiers of both sides collided again, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky. Under Ma Fujun's flag, the Zhao people were unwilling to retreat. They frantically killed the Qin people in front of them, and once again approached the opponent's Chinese army.
And the Qin people cannot retreat. When their captain dies in battle, the commander will immediately come to take over the command. If the commander dies in battle, naturally the uncle will come to take over the command. According to their dress, the soldiers always
He could find a general with a higher rank than himself, gather around him, and continue fighting.
After the same army has been defeated several times, there are still generals who can organize them and launch a counterattack.
The lower-class nobles of the Qin people all crawled out of the blood sea of Corpse Mountain. Even in the face of such a siege, they are not afraid. They have sufficient experience. Outside Wu'an, it is already a miserable scene of hell on earth. Corpse Mountain
Sea of blood, this was originally an adjective that Zhao Kuo knew, but he never thought that one day he would actually see this adjective. The accumulation of corpses transformed the plain terrain into a high slope.
The corpse fell to the ground and was trampled continuously by soldiers and chariots from both sides.
Therefore, a line of blood mud was formed. Zhao Kuo didn't know how to describe this scene. It was like the disgusting flesh and blood room in the horror games of later generations. The entire ground was covered with remains and blood mud, which made people shudder. Zhao Kuo's chariot
Every time you advance further, you can hear the sound of flesh and blood being crushed, as well as the miserable howls of the soldiers. This is the mountain of corpses, and the sea of blood has long been mixed with flesh and blood, emitting an extremely unpleasant fishy smell.
Zhao's 160,000 soldiers fought with Qin's 90,000 soldiers.
The strength of both sides reached 250,000.
Every moment, many people are dying.
Behind every cold corpse that fell, there seemed to be the cries of a pair of parents, the tears of a girl waiting for her husband, and the tearful eyes of children looking at their father's return. Zhao Kuo stood there
In the military car, looking at the hell in front of me, something seemed to be being torn apart in my heart. Why are there such cruel things in the world?
After killing so many people, I...will not end well.
How can we end this hell and allow all sons, loved ones, and fathers to stay in their own homes and spend time with their families happily?
After another advance, Zhao Kuo replaced a group of new troops. Facing the tired Qin people, these people obviously wanted to be more powerful. This time the Qin people could no longer resist the advance, and the right wing collapsed completely. Zhao Kuo
Kuo immediately ordered the chariots to charge and defeated the entire Qin army from the right wing!
Wang Hao stood in the military chariot. His body was covered with bruises, his hair was disheveled, his left hand was broken at the forearm, and the white cloth wrapped in it was also overflowing with blood. There was a hideous wound on his face, which almost split his nose, and half of his face was covered with blood.
His body was covered in blood and flesh, and behind him was a large flag tied up. This was Lord Wu An's general flag that Bai Qi left for him in order to confuse the enemy. He always carried this general flag with him.
During the battle, he held Wu Anjun's general flag in one hand and a spear in the other, fighting hard to kill the enemy.
But now, he couldn't hold it anymore. He had the flagpole tied tightly behind him, holding a spear in one hand, staring at the defeated troops on the right, slowly raising the spear, and looked at his own
On the right side of the car, the same thing happened on the right side of the car. His whole body was covered with blood, and his appearance could no longer be seen. Wang Hao laughed, and the wounds on his face were in severe pain from being involved. He said: "I want to remove your personal soldiers.
As the chief, I appoint you as the chief of the village."
"You can lead the knights to break out of Wu'an and head towards Zhongmou. Mr. Wu'an should be there... Please tell him the situation here."
"General...it's up to you to carry out the breakout."
"I won't leave." The young man on the right side of the car said seriously.
Wang Hao was silent, looking into the distance, and said: "I died in battle now because of my own fault, but you didn't deserve to die here." He didn't say anything more, slowly raised the spear in his hand, and faced
Aiming at the right wing, he said: "Kill!!", and the military chariot rushed out. The chariot troops followed behind the military chariot. Qin's infantry hurriedly got out of the way, turned around, followed the chariot, and launched a counterattack.
.
The chariots of both sides collided, the horses whined, the chariots rolled, and Wang Hao killed one enemy after another!
"Wu An Jun's blessing!!" Wang Lu pulled out the arrow on his shoulder and roared angrily.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!", Qin's war drums suddenly played. Zhao Kuo, who was in the front army position, quickly received the report from the scouts that Qin's army was coming from the south. Zhao Kuo's eyes widened.
Eyes, how could it be? Why are there reinforcements from Qin here? Aren't Lian Po and the others trying to stop Bai Qi?
Zhao Kuo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Let the troops besieging the Qin people from the south retreat and clear the way for the Qin people to retreat!!"
At that moment, the Zhao soldiers who were attacking the left side retreated in the direction of the Chinese army, leaving a way to survive. The people of Qin were so happy that they all fled from this survivable gap in all directions without even being ordered by Wang Lu.
The Qin people were like this. They shouted loudly and fled away from here crazily. As soon as they rushed out, the generals from all over Zhao State saw that the Qin people who were finally besieged fled like this, and they cursed one after another.
Who was responsible for besieging the south? Why did the Qin people break through so easily?
Bai Qi, who had come from afar, had just formed his formation and was preparing to launch a fierce attack, when he saw Qin's defeated troops rushing towards his front army. At that moment, he was stunned.
Zhao Kuo!! Despicable villain!!!
Use my tactics against me?!!
I???!!
