Chapter 900: Brilliant Hanwei (25)
Ying Ying opened the curtain door of the Chinese army's tent and strode in, inside the tent, Lu Chao was facing away from the tent door, staring at the map hanging on the side, standing still, like a sculpture.
"General!" Although Lu Chao turned his back to him, Ying Ying still saluted Lu Chao, the Qin military system is like this, even if Ying Ying is a prince, but in the army, he is only a general, and he needs to be respected by the great general Lu Chao.
The age difference between Ying Ying and Lu Chao is similar, Ying Ying is over thirty this year, and Lu Chao is only thirty or two, but Ying Ying is now full of admiration for this young general, in the case of the stalemate on several fronts of the Qin State, Lu Chao's brilliant results along the way will affect the direction of the entire war.
"You're asking why we've stopped moving forward?" Lu Chao didn't look back and asked lightly.
"Yes!" Ying Ying nodded and said: "Now that the Zhao Wei coalition army has been broken by us, why don't you take advantage of the situation to march and go straight to Daliang?" If we can do this, then the Zhao people will inevitably mobilize the main force to come to the rescue, so as to reduce the pressure on General Li in the direction of Hedong, as long as General Li can make a breakthrough on either side, and the destruction of Wei will not be far away."
Lu Chao turned his head and looked at Ying Ying, "The Zhao Wei coalition army was indeed broken by us, but we are now at the end of the crossbow, and we also need time to digest such a large area in one go."
"Is it because of the logistics?" Ying Ying asked.
Lu Chao nodded, "It's cold, the snow is falling, the transportation is difficult, the grain transported from the rear will consume about six catties for every ten catties on the road, and in the army, the grain and grass are already insufficient."
"Gongsun Ying can be ordered to re-recruit the people and strengthen transportation." Ying Yingdao.
"Now there is no more Korea, but only Yingchuan County of Daqin." Lu Chao turned around, walked back to the back of the big case, sat down, and pointed to the chair in front of him, "General Ying, sit down!"
"General Xie!" Ying Ying sat down. Facing Lu Chao.
"At the beginning of the peace of Korea, we used thunder means to extinguish the Korean rebels, suppress those half-hearted Koreans, at this time, Liwei, and now, Yingchuan County has been established, the Koreans have also become Qin, we must have Huairou, in order to harvest their hearts, for this battle, Yingchuan County has done its best, if you add taxes, and then levy grain and grass, Yingchuan will inevitably be unbearable, forced ruthlessly, those achievements previously achieved, will inevitably have to be paid again. After the winter, spring ploughing is coming soon, and we can't dry up and fish." Lu Chaowen said: "The battle to destroy the country needs to be done slowly. What's more, we may have another enemy right now."
"Another enemy?" Ying Ying frowned.
"The Black Ice Platform has just sent information, and the Eastern Army has moved." A cold light flashed in Lu Chao's eyes, "Naha, the general under the command of Ye Zhen of the Central Group Army of the Eastern Army, is already moving in the direction of Fengcheng with five thousand Eastern Army."
"Ye Zhen's troops are insufficient, and they are divided into various towns, if he really moves, it means that Gao Yuan must have sent a large number of troops to reinforce him, and he wants to officially start a war with us?" Ying Ying stood up suddenly, he had personally been to Jishi City, seen the military might of the Eastern Army, and also seen the militia that was temporarily conscripted in the Eastern Mansion, and he was deeply wary of the Eastern Army.
Lu Chao nodded appreciatively, "You are right, the six thousand cavalry led by the infantry under the command of Ye Zhen, the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Donghu people who were newly attached to the Eastern Army, and the first division of the Young Guards Army are rushing to Tianhe at the same time."
"Aside from the Donghu people, this infantry and the First Division of the Young Guards are both elite troops of the Eastern Army." Ying Ying's mood was a little heavy.
"There is also a reason for stopping the attack on the Wei people." Lu Chao said: "We have to concentrate our forces to deal with the Eastern Army."
"Stick to Fengcheng?" Ying Ying looked at the map and asked.
"No, take the initiative!" Lu Chao laughed.
"Take the initiative?" Ying Ying was stunned, and immediately reacted, "The Eastern Army must think that we will stick to Fengcheng, and if we take the initiative to attack, we will be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield. Defeat Naha's army in one fell swoop."
"If it's just to deal with Naha's thousands of people, I need to put so much effort into it?" Lu Chao laughed coldly, "This time, let me leave a deep memory for Gao Yuan!"
Looking at the cold smile on Lu Chao's face, Ying Ying couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Xintian, the garrison of the Wei-Zhao coalition army. Zhou Changshou, the commander of the Wei-Zhao coalition army, looked much older than a few years ago, less than fifty years old, but his hair was already mottled and gray, Tan Feng, Zhou Yu's backlash in Quwo gave the entire Wei-Zhao coalition defense line a heavy blow, making the defense line he painstakingly managed collapse in an instant, and he had to retreat hundreds of miles, losing tens of thousands of soldiers.
The only thing to be thankful for is that in this big defeat, the Zhao army suffered very little losses, and basically maintained its combat effectiveness, which is also his biggest reliance, and the second thing that can be relied on is the weather of this cold winter and wax moon, although the Wei and Zhao coalition forces suffered a crushing defeat, but it was a local battle, and the Qin people were indeed like a rainbow, but they advanced hundreds of miles, but the logistics supply line was extremely long, which would increase the difficulty of their attack. The Wei and Zhao coalition forces are not without hope of holding the defensive line.
In the past two years, Zhao has successively increased about 10,000 troops to Wei, making the Zhao army under Zhou Changshou's command reach 15,000, but Zhou Changshou knows that this later 10,000 people are also those who sympathize with him in the court to win the last reinforcements for themselves.
"Hasn't you heard back from Handan?" Although he knew that he didn't have much hope, Zhou Changshou still raised his head and asked the staff beside him, "We need reinforcements, we need food and grass, and we need weapons."
Mu Yi shook his head in embarrassment, "There is no response, general, I'm afraid there is no hope on either side."
Zhou Changshou spat heavily on the ground angrily, "Zhao Qi's eyes are narrow, he doesn't want to think about it, if the situation here collapses, can our Zhao Kingdom be left alone?" Wei is a barrier for our Great Zhao, as long as Wei still exists, it can contain the Qin people from attacking all the way, why can't Zhao Qi see this?"
"It's not that Zhao Qi can't see this, he just doesn't want to see the general!" Mu Wei sighed and said: "If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have a general who could support the overall situation in his hands now, he would have withdrawn the general a long time ago."
"Where are the Wei people?"
"King Wei was also frightened, and he recruited troops again across the country, but even if he recruited people, what use could these recruits be in front of the Qin army? General, in the next battle, I'm afraid that our Zhao army will have to go into battle shirtless and resist the Qin army."
Zhou Changshou sighed: "There really is no good news!"
"No, there's good news." Mu Bang said suddenly: "The people of Wei have already asked for help from the Eastern Army, and I heard that Gao Yuan of the Eastern Army has agreed to send the army, as long as the Eastern Army is dispatched, with the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Army, the precarious situation in front of them will inevitably be stabilized."
"The Eastern Army has insufficient troops and horses in Tianhe, how many troops can be drawn to aid us?" Zhou Changshou said lightly, his face seemed calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs, if it was possible, he would never want the person who came to solve the dilemma in front of him was the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Army, and he fell to the point in front of him, wasn't it just because of the Eastern Army? For a moment, I really had mixed feelings in my heart.
"No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, as long as they move, they will inevitably contain the Qin army, so that we will also have time to operate this second line of defense."
"What's the use of just running a line of defense? We need to counterattack, we need to regain the lost ground, otherwise if we continue like this, this line of defense will also be lost, and if we lose again, we will have to retreat to the main beam, and when it really comes to that time, it will be too late." Zhou Changshou said angrily, "It's a pity that after the death of Taiwei, we Da Zhao no longer have a person with a long-term vision."
The staff was silent.
In the ice and snow, the navy blue military uniform is on the wilderness, like a wriggling python, advancing in the direction of Fengcheng, which is the 5,000 men and horses belonging to Naha of the Eastern Army, and it is also the vanguard of the Eastern Army.
Several horses formed a small circle, slightly blocking some of the wind and snow, and in the small circle, Naha squatted on the ground, above his knees, with a military map spread.
"We are now in Baishaping, and further on is the wild three passes, out of the wild three passes, through the tea shop, we arrived at our destination this time, Fengcheng! Commander, there are still nearly a hundred miles of land here, it is not early, and if we move forward, we will not be able to find a good campsite, so we will just rest here for the night, and set off again tomorrow!" One of the generals said loudly.
Naha touched his beard with hard stubble, which was covered with ice chips, looked up at the wind and snow, and nodded, "Anyway, I won't be able to catch up with Yesan Pass today, so let's camp here and rest for the night, and tomorrow we will try to get to the tea shop." Strive to launch an attack on Fengcheng in three days."
"I heard that the garrison on the other side of Fengcheng is a force composed of Koreans, and its combat effectiveness is very limited. That's not just a fight!" The other general smiled lightly.
The Han people were weak, in the war with the Qin State, there was basically no resistance, and the Qin people were defeated in a very short period of time, and the country was wiped out.
"General, we have to hurry up, I heard that the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division is coming very quickly, don't wait for them to come and rob us of our credit."
"Yes, these Donghu people are faster than the infantry generals! If these Donghu people are allowed to rob the credit, where will our faces go!"
"Okay, okay, I know, the Donghu people can't take away our credit." Naha waved his hand, "Let the brothers have a good night's rest first."
