Chapter 36: Bloody Changping (1)
Just when Ji Kang set up three new counties in the north of Liaodi according to his own plan. After three years of confrontation between Qin and Zhao in the Shangdang area, they have also entered a new stage with the change of their respective commanders.
The Qin army acted quickly, and the day after the commander Bai Qi came to join the party, the Qin army moved the shogunate commander's tent to the occupied Light Wolf City. The grain and grass at the front of the Qin army also began to move to Laomaling, the fortress built by the Qin army. And the 100,000 troops that reinforced the Shangdang Qin army have begun to arrive one after another.
That night, Bai Qi led Wang Yi and several other senior generals of the Qin army to the mountains east of Guangwolf City at night to inspect the surrounding terrain and terrain. At this time, looking up at the sky in the Shangdang area, I saw a sky full of stars.
Standing on the top of the mountain, with the moonlight and starlight, the white rose and looked east.
After looking at it for a while, Bai Qi said to the deputy general next to him, Wang Di: "General Wang, this light wolf city really has a wide field of vision, surrounded by four mountains, three rivers confluence, and the terrain can advance or retreat. There is a loess slope in front, and our army should build a barrier to restrain the attack of the Zhao army, and not hinder the advance and retreat of our army, and order people to deal with it as soon as possible tomorrow. ”
Adjutant General Wang Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "No." ”
Bai Qi raised his hand again, pointed to the Danshui River defense line of the Zhao army in front, and said to Wang Yi and other generals of the Qin army: "General Lian Po of Zhao State is not a famous general in the world, and this defense line built is wide and deep. To tell the truth, as long as the Zhao army sticks to this line of defense, even if our Qin army doubles again, one million may not be able to capture this line of defense. ”
After listening to the words of the boss Bai Qi, the generals of the Qin army behind Bai Qi all nodded, highly recognized, and felt concerned.
Especially Wang Di, the former commander of the Qin army, was full of emotion in his heart. It was really too difficult to break through the defense line built by the Zhao army. Even if it broke through the defense line of the Danshui River of Zhao Jun, it was useless. There is also a more precipitous defense line of the Baili Stone Great Wall in the back.
Bai Qi looked at the east again, and sighed to the generals of the Qin army: "Fortunately, King Zhao has replaced the commander of the Zhao army this time, otherwise, even if I come to face General Lian Po, I may not be able to win." According to General Lian Po's deployment, not to mention defeating the Zhao army, if we don't get our Qin army, we may have to fall under this party defense line. ”
The commander of the Qin army, Bai Qi, looked into the distance for a long time, and then asked Wang Ji: "General Wang, from the east bank of the Danshui barrier of the Zhao army to the north, where is the Baili Stone Great Wall checkpoint built by the Zhao army, Changping Pass?" ”
Wang Yi nodded and said, "General Qiyu, yes." ”
Bai Qi nodded, and said to Wang Ji: "After the defense line of the Danshui River, the Zhao army built the stone defense line of the Great Wall of 100 miles such as Changping Pass and Guguan, and between the defense line of the Danshui River and the defense line of the Great Wall of 100 miles, there are two commanding heights of Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain. ”
"If the Zhao army chooses to attack our army, it will definitely set up the commander's tent and the army's grain and grass in these two places. General Wang ordered the repulsors to investigate as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the strategy of our Qin army. ”
Wang Yi clenched his fists again and replied, "No." ”
Bai Qi turned around and said to Wang Ji and other generals: "Behind the eastern barrier of Zhao Jun, there is the Great Wall of Baili Stone and the Ancient Pass. General Ben is sure that this pass is the only place for the supply of grain, grass and soldiers for the Zhao army. ”
All the generals nodded, and Wang Yi stepped forward to report: "What the general said is extremely true, in the past few years, our army has already figured out the food and grass supply route for the soldiers of the Zhao army. In addition to the old pass, there are also the east cang water and the small east cang water of the big grain mountain on the south line, which can be extended to the northeast Handan for supply. ”
Bai Qi pondered for a moment, laughed, and said to the generals: "In this way, the grain and grass supply of the Zhao army is, first, a big grain mountain, and second, it is closed; Or bypass Changping Pass and go to the east ridge of the Danshui River defense line. That's it, isn't it? ”
Wang Yi replied: "General, exactly. ”
Bai Qi asked Wang Di again: "General Wang, apart from these three roads, where else are there roads?" Can Zhao Jun have food and grass supplies? ”
Wang Di replied: "General, in the past three years, our army scouts have already found out that whether it is the supply of soldiers of the Zhao army, or the supply of grain and grass and military materials, except for these three roads, there is no other road that can provide the supply of grain, grass and soldiers to the Zhao army. Moreover, as far as a certain general knows, Han Wangshan's subsequent hometown is indeed the main supply road for Zhao soldiers, grain, grass and military funds. ”
After listening to Wang Di's words, Bai Qi wandered back and forth on the mountain a few times, and already had a plan in his heart. Then he said to the generals: "Let's go!" Let's go back and discuss a battle plan to see how to defeat the enemy, shall we? ”
Adjutant General Wang Di and several other senior generals of the Qin army clasped their fists together and bowed down, "No." ”
On the evening of July 29, Han Wangshan, the commander of Zhao Jun, made a big tent.
Zhao Kuo was in the big tent and asked the adjutant general beside him: "Tomorrow, our army's oath meeting is ready, right?" ”
The adjutant general hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed and said, "General, everything is ready." ”
Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh and said to the deputy general he had personally promoted: "Tomorrow, when my army goes out, we must pay attention to secrecy." All battle plans should not be communicated to the generals to prevent leakage. ”
The adjutant general was a little dazed, and said to Zhao Kuo: "General, if you don't tell the generals about our army's battle plan, will the generals feel at a loss?" ”
Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "The generals can carry out the military orders and fight with the enemy, you don't need to know so much." ”
The deputy general glanced at Zhao Kuo, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "No." ”
What Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that he personally ordered Zhao Jun to keep it secret, but he himself was the biggest source of leaks. Now the Qin State has gone up to the King of Qin and down to Bai Qi, the new commander of the Qin army in the Shangdang region, and he already knows his battle plan well.
On the last day of the end of July, Zhao Kuo, who had moved the shogunate's commander's tent to Hanwang Mountain, inspected the 100,000 Zhao troops who had raided the Qin army in front of the Baili Stone Defense Line and at the foot of Hanwang Mountain, and swore an oath with the generals to go on the expedition.
In the early morning, in the school field of Hanwangshan, 100,000 Zhao troops stood neatly, with bright armor and banners for hunting.
Zhao Kuo walked on the main platform built, faced the 100,000 Zhao army, and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers of Zhao State, I, Zhao Kuo, your new commander, swear an oath with the party and you here: I, Zhao Kuo, and all the soldiers live and die together." win, then return to the hometown triumphantly; If you lose, you will die on the battlefield. ”
"People say that the Qin army is the 'division of tigers and wolves', and I, Zhao Kuo, will lead you this time, and I will definitely cut off its tiger head and cut off its wolf tail. In my Zhao Kuo's opinion, the warriors of the world, who else are the soldiers of Zhao State? ”
In the school field in front of the pass, the 100,000 troops of Zhao Guo were in high spirits after listening to the shouts of the new coach Zhao Kuo. Raising the weapons in their hands together, they shouted in unison: "The warriors of the world, only I am Zhao Guo." Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Zhao Kuo listened to the deafening shouts of the 100,000 army of the Zhao army, and his face flushed.
Raising his right hand and waving it downward, he continued to shout to Zhao Jun: "All the soldiers of Zhao State, from now on, in order to prevent the enemy's secret spies, the army will order and secretly transmit to each battalion. Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the alliance of the party today! ”
Then, he suddenly drew the bronze sword at his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "Our army is victorious!" ”
The 100,000 Zhao troops who were preparing to raid the Qin army raised their weapons together with Zhao Kuo and shouted: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
Immediately, Zhao Kuo pointed his bronze sword to the west and shouted: "Our army is attacking!" Raid the Qin army! ”
Zhao Kuo stood on the Han Wang Mountain, looking at the Zhao army under his command, the front army had arrived on the bank of the Danshui River, and the rear army continued to pass by the foot of the mountain, and said to his newly appointed deputy general: "This time our army will be able to defeat the Qin army to achieve my king's wish." ”
The deputy general of the Zhao army hurriedly bowed down and said: "General, this time my Zhao army's surprise attack on the Qin army will definitely surprise the Qin army. Our Zhao army led by the general will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army, and the general will also be famous all over the world. ”
After Zhao Kuo listened to the words of the deputy general, a smile appeared on his face.
What Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army who came to the party secretly, was also standing on a hilltop barrier that had just been built in the east of Guangwolf City at this moment, looking far away in the direction where the Zhao army of the Danshui River came.
After half a ring, he turned to the deputy general Wang Yi beside him and said, "The Zhao army has finally been dispatched." General Wang, let me tell all the units of the Qin army to act according to the plan we set the day before yesterday! ”
Wang Yi hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "No." ”
In the fifty-fifth year of the reign of King Zhou (Xin Chou, 260 BC), the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the sixth year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, and the twelfth year of King Wucheng, on the last day of the end of July, the 100,000-strong army of Zhao crossed the defense line of the Danshui River and launched an attack on the Qin army to the west.
The Qin and Zhao armies, which had been facing each other in Shangdang for three years, finally crossed the Danshui River from the west of the Zhao army and raided the Qin army barrier on the west bank of the Danshui River, breaking the deadlock between the Qin and Zhao armies, and the famous Changping decisive battle in history finally began.
Ji Kang came to an era in which for hundreds of years the world was plagued by strife and war, which caused the population growth to decline sharply. Especially in the past few decades since Ji Kang's arrival, with the killing of soldiers and the ravages of disease, the total population of all countries in the world has dropped from nearly 40 million to more than 30 million, and the average life expectancy in the world is not even 30 years old.
The total number of troops invested by Qin and Zhao in this battle is at least conservatively estimated to be as much as one million. As a result, since the opening of Pangu and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the largest battle in China, the decisive battle of Changping, slowly kicked off.
