Chapter 182: Coming to Jingshi in person
late at night
Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to march towards Xianyang.
suddenly
The dense haystacks beside the road swayed and made a noise.
In an instant, the surrounding guards immediately raised their shields and blocked the front with their crossbows in hand.
Soon, a few figures wearing close-fitting armor and blackened faces appeared in the grass.
When the two stood up, they immediately said respectfully: "Wu Zheng, the commander of the Flying Cavalry Army, meet the general!" ”
The guards saw each other's appearance clearly, and then put down the repeater in their hands.
But for safety, the shield was still erected to block the front.
Li Jing narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is the situation ahead?" ”
Commander Wu took a step forward and respectfully reported: "General Qiqi, the flying cavalry has fanned towards Xianyang, and the dark piles along the way have been pulled out!"
Subordinates are responsible for patrolling here in order to meet the army.
People have been deployed to patrol within a radius of two miles to ensure that there are no fish that have slipped through the net and prevent the news of the army's pressure from leaking! ”
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Xianyang.
The night was quiet, and the white moonlight seemed to have the smell of killing.
The battle plan for this attack on Xianyang was formulated by Li Jing, who was a great general.
According to the plan, the Flying Cavalry Army went first and cut off the communication between Beidi County and Xianyang.
Li Jing led 100,000 elite veterans to take the counties under Beidi County with lightning speed, leaving only a few hundred people to defend.
Fusu, on the other hand, led an army of 200,000 and heavy cavalry to attack the county seat.
After capturing the county seat, after a little rest, you will immediately go straight to Xianyang!
However, the heavy cavalry did not participate in the siege battle, but continued to rush towards Xianyang.
The heavy cavalry carried too much weight, and in order not to let the horses lose their strength, the speed of the march was not fast.
When it comes to night, the Flying Cavalry, which has long been hidden between Beidi County and Xianyang, will play a special role and uproot all the hidden stakes of the outposts along the way.
Outposts along the way were uprooted, and after a long time they would definitely be detected.
However, the time of the general attack is set for early tomorrow morning, so I am not worried that it will be discovered.
The plan of this raid was to keep Xianyang City intact as much as possible and minimize the damage caused by the war to the people in the city!
Putting up a position and attacking with great fanfare is also very certain.
However, the defense of the soldiers of the capital division is much stronger than that of other county towns, and the belief of defending the capital division to the death is also stronger.
If it really takes a fierce battle, I'm afraid that Xianyang City will be almost destroyed.
More important
Li Jing knows Fusu's thoughts very well, and some people must not let go!
Like Zhao Gao, he must be captured alive!
We can't give them a chance to coerce Hu Hai, the emperor, into escaping!
Otherwise, Hu Hai fled all the way to join Zhang Han's hundreds of thousands of troops, and collected troops and horses along the way with the emperor's will, and things would have become troublesome.
With the combat strength of the 300,000 troops in the above counties, even if Hu Haizhen mobilized the Southern Army, he was not afraid.
But this kind of thing that only increases casualties, Fusu will never do.
After regaining the world, we must also govern the world.
The population of Great Qin is only 20 million, and it really has a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers, even if it integrates with other races, it is still vast and sparsely populated.
If you really want to lose tens of thousands of soldiers in every big battle, annihilate tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the population will be even less!
Even if you expand your territory, if you want to build a city, there will be no population migration.
really beat Daqin to pieces, it's not that he wants to help Su carry it himself.
When the population is gone, we will have to spend manpower and material resources to rebuild homes for the people of Great Qin.
After the war, there was no way to recover in ten or eight years.
Isn't that asking for trouble!
Therefore, all strategic plans are based on the premise of achieving maximum victory with the least casualties!
If Daqin had a population of more than a billion people, there wouldn't be so many concerns!
Li Jing turned his head and ordered: "Divide the troops, advance!" ”
Immediately, the army moved on.
However, 50,000 of them turned left and marched west towards Xianyang.
To the west, there is also a Longxi County, which has to be guarded.
When the offensive was launched against Xianyang, the army of 50,000 cut off the connection between the two places!
When Fusu captured Xianyang, it would be much easier to issue a decree stamped with the emperor's seal and let Longxi obey the dispatch.
was originally the eldest son of the first emperor, and it was reasonable to take over the world.
The counties that were still under the control of Great Qin did not dare to disobey the will that they should have the emperor's seal!
It's like an ex, isn't he stupidly killing himself under an edict?
The Southern Corps, of course, was a special case.
Nanling Mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he has an army of 500,000 troops, so it is normal to want to support the army and respect himself.
When the initial emperor asked Fusu to go to Shangjun as a supervisor, wasn't he worried that the 300,000 army in Meng Tian's hands would rebel!
That is, the first emperor died suddenly, and Hu Hai did not have enough prestige, so in just a few months, the resentment of the people of Great Qin boiled and smoke, and only then did the Southern Army have a chance to sit on the throne.
Otherwise, with the prestige of the first emperor, he would not dare to claim the king with Zhao Tuo's ten dares!
Li Jing led 50,000 soldiers and horses to arrange first, and when the 200,000 troops converged in the early morning, they would unify their command and recover the Great Qin regime!
Fusu will no longer participate in the command of the battlefield.
All the big and small battles were handed over to Li Jing, the great general, to be responsible.
As a superior, you only need to control the big strategy.
Just like Han Xin said when he defected to Wei, he himself was only the one who led the troops, and Wei Bao was the leader!
Following
Fusu led 5,000 guards and camped on a high mountain.
Since the outposts and dark piles around Xianyang had been cut off during the night, the army had approached five miles away but no one knew about it!
Fusu looked down at the magnificent Xianyang City in the distance, and sighed in his heart.
This is the capital of Great Qin!
As long as Xianyang is taken, Daqin will fall into his control!
The counties that were still under the control of Great Qin, under the orders of the eldest son in charge of the court, would also be dispatched, avoiding the trouble of attacking.
The 300,000-strong army has quietly surrounded Xianyang.
After receiving reports from all parties, Li Jing also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this moment, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao are difficult to fly!
In this battle, we must take Xianyang in one go!
Sanchuan County to the east had been occupied by Xiang Yu after Li You was killed.
And the 150,000 army that has been called back is in the process of fighting against the Chu army!
If the time is too long and the movement is too great, it will inevitably attract 150,000 troops to come back to help.
In order to rescue the second emperor in Xianyang, an army of 150,000 must attack all the way.
When the time comes, the two sides will consume each other's forces.
In the end, it will only cheapen Xiang Yu's Chu army!
When Xianyang is taken, and then a well-spoken envoy goes with an edict stamped with the emperor's seal, and the 150,000 horses will be in the bag!
After receiving reports from all parties one by one, Li Jing sent people to the top of the mountain where Fusu was stationed to report.
Fusu sat on the high platform built and looked at Xianyang City lying quietly in the distance.
Shen Sheng ordered: "Attack! ”
