165 Behind enemy lines

The attack on Korea was put on the agenda, but Ying Zheng did not rush to send an envoy to issue a war letter, but waited for Li Ling to complete the assembly of his troops.

Half a month later, the Qin army, which had made all the preparations, went out to the Korean border, and after the army arrived at the Korean border, the envoy sent by Yingzheng went to South Korea to write a war letter, and did not give South Korea any time to prepare at all.

It's just that the scale of the final expedition is very different from what Li Ling said in the court at the beginning.

The troops he brought out were not an army, but the 54th Army and the 38th Army, which were reorganized after the Fourth Army was the backbone, and all the siege equipment of each army was requisitioned.

As for the generals, Li Ling is indeed bold enough, the commander is the new commander of the 54th Army, Meng Tian, and the deputy general is the commander of the 38th Army, Bailimeng.

If you look at it according to this, it seems that the Qin State doesn't attach much importance to this battle, but if you see the powerful prison army led by Li Ling, it is a completely different concept!

On this expedition, Li Ling brought out a total of six prison troops, including generals such as Wang Qian, Yang Duanhe, and Feng Zai, as well as Feng Quji, Wang Qi, and Li Si.

Among them, the status of Li Ling and Wang Jian no longer needs to be said, Feng Quji and Feng Zai are old Korean generals, and they are also the descendants of Feng Ting, and Li Si and Wang Qi represent the core of Qin's civil servants.

Li Ling actually wanted to convey an illusion to the Six Kingdoms that seemed to be idiotic.

sent a newly formed army to attack Korea, and it was a young general who led the army, which seemed to be to create a Qin army that did not attach importance to Korea, but at the same time sent an extremely powerful supervision army, these so-called supervision troops, maybe the real commanders.

No matter who it is, after looking at the configuration of the Qin army's expedition, they all decided that the Qin army did not want to expose its strength, and at the same time wanted to go all out to crusade against South Korea, which was quite a bit of a posture that wanted to cover up.

Thinking of the previous death of Mengwu in battle, the Qin State simply stopped fighting, directly sued with the Zhao State, and exchanged seven cities for one city, which was considered to have completely confirmed the illusion that the strength of the Qin State was not as good as before.

This is the result that Li Ling wants to see the most.

"Uncle, I plan to send the cavalry of the 38th Army tonight to penetrate the rear of the ROK defense line from this place by taking advantage of the night, and wait until tomorrow morning to launch a direct surprise attack, and then our 54th Army will suddenly launch an attack on Heyi, so as to ensure that the enemy of Heyi cannot leave the city and destroy the ROK defense line in one fell swoop."

Running in front of Li Ling with the map, pointing to the map and telling Li Ling about his combat intentions, Meng Tian was full of confidence.

"You are now the commander of the 54th Army and the commander of this expedition, you are talking to me about the affairs of the army, you shouldn't call me uncle."

"Yes, Taifu!"

Meng Tian also realized that something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words.

"I'm the overseer, the one in charge of oversight, not the commander! It's your business to command the battle specifically, you don't need to ask me for instructions, you can make your own decisions. ”

"Huh? I... I don't dare. ”

If it weren't for Li Ling with such a large group of ministers as the prison army, Meng Tian would not be afraid of anything, and he would be done, but now that he has these people by his side, he is a newcomer, he really doesn't have the courage, and he is even more afraid of making mistakes.

If no one is here, he can remedy his mistakes, but if he makes a mistake now, he may be sprayed out, and maybe he will not have a chance to lead the troops at all in the future.

"Don't look ahead, don't care what we think, lead the troops to fight, you need to be responsible for your soldiers, not for us, understand?"

"Meng Tian understands! Tse Taifu taught. ”

At midnight that day, according to Meng Tian's deployment, Bailimeng's 38th Army was wrapped in horseshoe cloth and quietly set off in the night, while the independent regiment was deployed to both sides of the gap.

A cavalry force of 10,000 people, until dawn, actually passed through the entire defense line of the South Korean army under the nose of the South Korean army.

Baili Meng, who was guarding the gap, could hardly believe it, was this Korean defense line all decorations?

In the face of the pressure of the soldiers, leaving such a big gap, let yourself pass through?

The sun was rising, and with the doubts in his heart, Baili Meng directly led the army to charge the Korean defense line from behind!

Immediately after the defenders of Heyi reacted and were ready to go out of the city for reinforcements, the 54th Army began to launch a siege battle again, storming the city wall of Heyi, and at the same time sent the only cavalry regiment of the 54th Army to insert diagonally between Heyi and the Korean defense line to cooperate with the surprise attack launched by the 38th Army.

In the face of the Qin cavalry's left and right attack, it was only until noon that the Korean defense line was completely defeated, and by the evening, the entire defense line of the Korean army had broken and fled to thirty miles away, leaving a Heyi as a salient.

South Korea's strength is too weak, even if Heyi is an important border town, they still don't have too many troops, and all the troops in the entire Heyi are counted, and there are only 5,000 people.

5,000 people faced the attack of tens of thousands of people, even if there was a city defense as a support, it was very difficult to defend it, not to mention that now Heyi has become a completely isolated city with the collapse of the entire Korean defense line.

At night, the siege battle came to an end for the time being.

Although the 54th Army failed to capture the city wall, it had completed the encirclement of Heyi on all sides, and at the same time dealt an unusually heavy blow to the defenders of Heyi, and it was only a matter of time before Heyi was captured, and this time would not take long at all!

"I'm still worried that it's a trap, but I didn't expect this Han army to be really stupid!"

Back at the command post, Baili Meng took off his helmet and wiped the blood stains on his body, his face was still unfinished, obviously today's battle was due to the rapid retreat of the Korean army, and he didn't enjoy killing at all.

"We still can't take it too lightly, what if this is just a ploy by the South Korean army, at the cost of holding on to a lonely city, in exchange for the main force to assemble, and then wait for the opportunity to carry out a counterattack?"

The war went so smoothly, but Meng Tian didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that something would be missed.

"Let's see if you can get some people to put on makeup, and find out the situation in the rear of the South Korean army, if there are any traces of the army's activities. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the vigilance tonight to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

After Baili Meng left, Meng Tian did not rest, but took out the map to repeatedly deduce according to various possible situations, and ordered each unit to make some subtle deployment adjustments from time to time, so as to be as foolproof as possible.

Seeing that Meng Tian was so serious and cautious, Li Ling and the others also looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were full of relief, Meng Tian did not disappoint them, and he was indeed a manufacturable material.
