At three o'clock, in the Changguo Junle room in the Yanguo camp under Diqiu City, he also got an urgent report from Fan City.

In his heart, he was also surprised.

After thinking about it again and again, Lejian asked the deputy general Bo Wang to come and discuss countermeasures.

After reading the information transmitted from Fan Cheng, Bo Wang's face changed suddenly.

Two steps forward, I looked at the map hanging in the tent.

Bo Wang was a little anxious, clicked on Fan Cheng on the map, and said to Le Jian: "General, Fan Cheng may not be able to keep it." In this way, the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of our Emperor Hill are facing the enemy's front and rear attacks! ”

Lejian waved his hand and said to Bo Wang:

"General Bo Wang, how many days can our army's food, grass, military supplies and other logistical support support support our army?"

Bo Wang replied: "Our army's military resources are very abundant, and the food and logistics can at least meet the needs of our army for 20 days. ”

Rakuma nodded, came to Bo Wang's side, and also looked at the map.

After a while, he said to Bo Wang:

"General Bo Wang, our army's logistics support has more than twenty days, which is enough. Lian Po is like this, and his appetite is not small! This is to swallow my 350,000 Yan army in one bite under Diqiu City, so as to lay the foundation for the victory of this battle. ”

Saying this, Le Jian pointed to Fan Cheng and continued to say to Bo Wang:

"Today is the day of the battle between our army and the coalition forces. The news of Lian Po's attack on Fan Cheng must be strictly controlled, and half a cent must not be leaked. If nothing else, the coalition army led by Zhao Yi will not really fight with our army. ”

"His purpose is very clear, that is, to hold back my main army here, so that Lian Po can successfully take Fancheng and cut off the back road of the main force of our Yan army. Lian Po Lao Er dared to make a risky move, wouldn't he have done a risky move? ”

Bo Wang didn't know the meaning of Lejian's words, so he looked at Lejian and asked, "Risky move?" ”

Rakuma nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"General Bo Wang, this Battle of Diqiu, the intention of the coalition forces is now very clear. Just as you just said, that is, the Three Kingdoms Alliance led by Zhao Yi pinned down our army head-on, and the 100,000 Zhao army led by Lian Po cut off the rear road of our army and attacked our army from east to west. ”

"The two armies of the coalition army are indeed powerful, just like the steel tongs used by the craftsmen of our Yan Kingdom at the moment, two tongs, one east and one west, want to firmly clamp the more than 300,000 Yan troops in my Diqiu City to death."

They thought that in the face of such a situation, our army would inevitably return to the division to rescue Fancheng. If our army divides troops to rescue Fancheng, Zhao Yi will inevitably lead the army to attack it, and our army is also prone to wavering. ”

"The current situation can no longer tolerate the slightest hesitation on the part of our army, and we must be decisive. General Bo, the general planned, and our army ignored the Zhao army led by Lian Po. Concentrate the army and defeat the Three Kingdoms alliance led by Zhao Yi. ”

"In this way, our army can first cut off one of the enemy's pincers, and then lead the army back to the division and defeat the Zhao army led by Lian Po. Moreover, I believe that Gao Yang Jun Rong and the general Wang Shi will definitely lead the army to reinforce our army. ”

Le Jian snorted coldly and continued to Bo Wang:

"Once our reinforcements arrive, it will not be the enemy who will flank our army, but our army will flank the coalition army."

After listening to the words of the musician, beads of sweat appeared on Bo Wang's head.

Standing next to the map, he didn't speak for a long time.

Junle advocates this, and the strategy he is doing is too dangerous.

For the 350,000 Yan army in Diqiu City, it can be said that if they are not victorious, they will die.

Le Jian looked at Bo Wang and said:

"General Bo Wang, this decision is made by General Ben alone, and all the consequences will be borne by Ben alone."

At this time, in the barracks outside the tent, the horn of getting up began to sound.

Today, the battle with the main force of the coalition led by Zhao Yi has arrived.

Bo Wang looked at the music room, laughed, and said to the music room:

"General, you underestimate Bo Wang, this general agrees with the general's proposition, this is a joint decision between you and me. General, the battle has begun, no matter what Zhao Yi thinks? How? Our army must take the Triple Alliance regardless of casualties. ”

"General, the coalition forces are also overestimating their strength, and they are still dealing with our army according to the previous tactics. In today's decisive battle, our army's hand fire mines and explosives bags should not be left behind. Bomb me, and blow up the coalition forces as well. ”

Inside the tent, the laughter of Le Jian and Bo Wang made the Yan soldiers outside the tent confused.

The sky was faint, and the Zhao army under Fancheng had already poured out.

The war drums outside the city have been "knocking", and groups of Zhao troops are lined up in a square line, pushing catapults, siege vehicles, and ladders, slowly pressing towards the head of Fancheng. From the top of the city, it is simply a sea of people.

In front of the Zhao army's catapults and siege engines, there were covering building vehicles.

The building car is several feet high, almost the same height as the city wall of Fan City. The entire building cart can not only cover the head of Fan City within the range of arrows, but when approaching the city wall, soldiers can also jump directly onto the city head from the building car.

"Erwazi, when I see the enemy smashing stones and arrows, I quickly squatted behind the battlements, do you understand?"

"Uncle Li, no, company commander, I'm ...... I know. ”

Above the city, Erwa's voice trembled a little.

The middle-aged officer, who was called the company commander by Erwa, patted Erwa on the shoulder and said softly:

"Erwazi, don't be nervous. Wait a minute, the enemy army will attack the city, you just listen to my command. ”

"Uncle Li, I know." Erwa swallowed.

Erwa looked at the naval officers and soldiers standing next to him, and quietly asked the company commander:

"Uncle Li, what is this "fire stick" in the hands of the navy? ”

This time, the middle-aged company commander was asked, and the naval soldier next to him laughed and said to Erwa:

"Brother, this is not a "stabbing stick", it is called a pistol, and you will know its power later. ”

Brigadier General Ma Liang put down the binoculars in his hand, so many siege weapons of the Zhao army made Ma Liang's face even more severe. Zhao Jun was able to assemble so many siege weapons overnight, which was a bit unexpected for Ma Liang.

It can also be seen that Zhao Jun has been prepared for this battle for a long time.

said to the deputy general Gu Tao and other generals behind him: "Generals, it seems that the main direction of attack of the Zhao army is this northern city wall; The east and west city walls, it seems that the Zhao army is just a blockade; At the southern city wall, there is no Zhao army. ”

Wang Youde, the commander of the naval brigade, smiled and said to everyone:

This is what the teachers in Xiangping College talk about in class. Zhao Jun wants us to vacillate between fleeing or fighting to the death, and at the same time, he also wants to make our soldiers lose their morale! ”

When they heard this, they all laughed.

In the binoculars, it was seen that Zhao Jun's catapult had stopped and began to load stone bullets.

Ma Liang immediately ordered: "The whole army squats, our army at the head of the city relies on the battlements, and our army under the city clings to the city wall." ”

The sound of "Peng, Peng" sounded, and Zhao Jun's catapult began to smash towards the head of Fancheng City.

At the head of Fancheng City, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and the clods of soil were full of dust.

"Kill".

With Zhao Jun's order, tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers shouted together, like a tide, and rushed towards the head of Fancheng City.

"Put."

Suddenly, at the head of Fancheng City, a rain of arrows flew up and headed towards the Zhao army under the city.

In the second year of Yan Wangkang (253 B.C.), April 16, early in the morning.

Lian Po, a veteran general of Zhao State, led 100,000 Zhao troops and launched an attack on Fancheng, where the Yan army was stationed.

The Battle of Diqiu, which decided the fate of the countries of the Central Plains, was called the "decisive battle of the Central Plains" by history, and kicked off.
