185 Attack on Fat
"It's Li Mu's army that has arrived, what should I do?"
After several days of sweeping around Yiyang, there was almost nothing left, and it was a year of drought, most of the people in Zhao had no food at home, and Huan Qi's plan to feed the war with war could only last for another month at most, so he could only turn to attack the Zhao army's defense line again.
But the Zhao Army's defense line at this moment is no longer the line of defense half a month ago!
Li Mu led the main frontier defense force of the Zhao army from Yanmen to the front line, and the main force of the border defense army had never shown up on the battlefield in the Central Plains, which was also the last living force that the Zhao army could get hold of after the defeat of Pang Nuan.
Huan Qi knew that as long as this Zhao army was defeated, then Zhao Guo would not have the strength to fight again.
However, he faced Li Mu, the Li Mu who was known as the God of War, and the Li Mu who captured him alive.
Moreover, today's Li Mu, the Zhao army brought from Yanmen has 150,000 people, including 100,000 archers alone, and more than 2,000 chariots.
Coupled with the original defensive forces around Handan, the total number of troops in Li Mu's hands at this moment has reached 250,000.
Against such an enemy, the pressure on Huan Qi's heart can be imagined.
After Li Mu's army officially entered the positions around Yiyang, Huan Qi immediately launched a series of attacks on its main defense line, and at the same time sent scouts to continuously collect intelligence.
Eventually, after three days of fighting, Huan Qi got a piece of news that made him almost desperate.
This Li Mu has an army of 250,000 and more than 70,000 cavalry against himself, and he actually chose to rely on the advantages of the surrounding terrain to hold on, and set up as many as nine places with a total of four defense lines in a company, and at the same time, he is constantly building fortresses and high platforms.
"He's going to kill us!"
There was a sense of unease throughout Yiyang City.
"Our army is driving straight in, and there are many disadvantages in logistics and supply, so it is not suitable for protracted combat, so we must find a way."
Huan Qi is also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the final result of consuming it like this can only be a failure, and he can't afford it.
"Although I have already ordered someone to build siege equipment, if you want to break the barrier of the Zhao army, you need to give me at least another month."
"No, we can't afford to spend a month later, I'm afraid we'll starve to death before we can launch an attack."
"Then what do you say, you can't wait, you can't fight, you have to stay here all the time?"
"Don't make any noise, you all go out first, let me be quiet. In addition, every day he calls me to the battle, I don't believe that he will be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he will stay there and not come out! ”
For five days in a row, the Qin army ran to the front of the Zhao army every day from day to night, and they were insulting and noisy, or directly posing as a large army pressing the border, but the Zhao army just couldn't live or die.
Finally, on the sixth day, Huan Qi found a solution!
"Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the main force to attack Feixia, Xiong Qi, you stay in Yiyang, in addition to still calling the formation, once the Zhao army has any movement, you will immediately close the city gate and hold on."
"Attacking fat? What does this mean? ”
"General, this is not appropriate! In case Zhao Jun learns that our main force is exhausted, and he storms Yiyang, then our army will not be cut off here! ”
Meng Tian saw through Huan Tian's idea and directly objected, but unfortunately, Meng Tian was too young, and few people really cared about his opposition.
"This time the Zhao army relied on the barrier to hold out, I personally led the main force to besiege Feixia, just to attract the Zhao army to attack, as long as the Zhao army left the barrier, whether he attacked Yiyang or rescued Feixia, I am sure to defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop in the sports war! Do you know that if we don't take this approach, is there any other way we can change the tide of the war? ”
"This ......"
Huan Qi directly asked Meng Tian in one sentence, indeed, although Huan Qi's battle plan has a certain risk, it is better than staying in Yiyang, facing the constantly increasing barriers of Zhao State, and then being consumed alive by Li Mu.
"Our army is calling for battle every day, and the Zhao army has never been able to hold out, I don't believe that when I capture Feixia, he can still hold out, if he really continues to hold out, it will be as I like, and I can bypass the Zhao army barrier from Feixia and go straight to Handan!"
After pondering for several days to find a solution, in Huan Qi's opinion, it was so perfect, after asking Meng Tian, no one in the army had an opinion on this plan, and Huan Qi directly ordered to start the relevant deployment.
Three days later, everything was ready, Huan Qi personally led the main force of the Qin army, and quietly left Yiyang by night, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses were left in Yiyang City under the command of Xiong Qi.
After Huan Qi left, Xiong Qi went out of the city for two days in a row, but Zhao Jun still couldn't hold out.
It wasn't until another day later that Huan Qi began to launch a fierce attack on the periphery of Feixia, and it took only two days to sweep away all the living forces of the Zhao army around Feixia, and after completely forming a siege of Feixia, the Zhao army suddenly found that the main force of the Qin army had already left Yiyang City.
"General, quickly send troops to rescue Feixia, if the Qin army gets fat, then even if we build a Great Wall here, we won't be able to protect Handan!"
Zhao Cong has been following Li Mu's side since he was exchanged for Huan Qi by Li Ling, and now after discovering the movement of the main force of the Qin army, he couldn't help but start talking to Li Mu directly, hoping to rescue Feixia.
"Attacking and saving me is to people, this is a taboo for soldiers! Onions, you have to learn hard! ”
Looking at Zhao Cong's anxious appearance, Li Mu smiled, although Zhao Cong had been captured by Li Ling, he still trusted Zhao Cong, especially when he heard a soldier who escaped from Yecheng tell the story of the battle of Yecheng in person, he trusted Zhao Cong even more.
Now, it's time to teach Zhao Cong another lesson.
"But if you don't save it, will you let the Zhao army break through Feixia, bypass the camp, and go straight to Handan?"
"Who said it wouldn't be saved! To save, but not directly! ”
Li Mu smiled slightly, he had already found the perfect solution.
"Sima Shang!"
"The last general!"
"I order you to set off immediately, lead 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and set up three deep defense lines between Feixia and Handan as quickly as possible, so as to ensure that even if the Qin army breaks through Feixia, it will not be able to threaten Handan in the short term."
"The last general commands!"
"Zhao Onion!"
"The last general!"
"You will come with me, and I will lead the army to attack tonight!"
"Sortie? Is the general planning to rescue the fat? ”
Hearing that Li Mu was going to take himself to attack together, Zhao Cong's heart settled down a lot, and the crisis under the fat was finally about to be solved.
190,000 against 70,000 cavalry of the Qin army, even if the Qin army is invincible in the field, under such a disparity in strength, presumably the Qin army may not be able to get much benefit.
"No, no!"
"Huh? Stumped the general still doesn't plan to rescue Hishita? ”
