The sky is already shining, and the morning sun is rising from the eastern horizon.

From the head of Fan City to the bottom of the city, thick smoke billowed and the sound of fighting was endless.

Lian Po stood not far from the city, the expression on his face looked very calm, but his heart was very anxious.

The reason why it is a dangerous move to attack Fan Cheng in the south is whether Fan Cheng can be attacked as soon as possible?

In the surrounding cities of Fan City, it is not that there is no Yan army.

Because of the great battle under the city of Diqiu, at this time, there were also a large number of Yan troops stationed in the surrounding cities of Fan City.

Xinyi (now Shen County, Shandong) in the north of Fancheng is a hundred miles away from Fancheng, and there are two reserve divisions of the Yan army; In the east, Dunqiu (southwest of present-day Qingfeng, Henan), there was a reserve division of the Yan army, which was even shorter than Fancheng, only seventy miles.

Not to mention that Qicheng (now Puyang, Henan) in the west of Fancheng was a division of the 12th Army of the regular army of the Yan Army, and the distance from Fancheng was only a little more than 100 miles.

The reason why Lian Po wants to take Fan Cheng is because Fan Cheng is the throat of Qi and Wei.

Once Fan Cheng was captured by the Zhao army, it could not only cut off the connection between the main force of the Yan army in the front and the rear, but also make the Yan army around Fan Cheng "heroes useless". According to Ji Kang's words, it is "among the millions of troops, take the head of the general".

If Fan Cheng can't attack for a long time, Zhao Jun will be very passive.

Lian Po uses soldiers, and he is naturally very old.

While attacking Fancheng, he also sent a small number of troops to monitor the movements of the Yan army in the surrounding cities, and even had a plan to "besiege the city and send reinforcements" to eat the reinforcements from the surrounding cities of the Yan army.

To Lian Po's surprise, according to the Tanmalai report, the Yan army of Xinyi, Dunqiu, and Qicheng had indeed gathered, but they did not reinforce the Yan army of Fancheng alone. Lian Po knew that this was the Yan army around Fancheng, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the rear.

On a hill not far from Fan Cheng, several people in ordinary clothes were holding the telescope in their hands at this time, looking in the direction of Fan Cheng.

The person at the head looked at the two sides who were fighting fiercely in Fan City, and sighed for a long time:

"The defenders of my Yan army are mighty, I really didn't expect that the old thief Lian Po had put so much effort into attacking Fan Cheng. Immediately sent a carrier pigeon to General Wang Shi, saying that Fancheng was still in the hands of our defenders, and asked me to send reinforcements to help quickly. ”

A person next to him answered and walked down.

"Captain, there are no enemy troops in the south of Fan City, would you like to go to the front to find out what is going on and see if you can enter the city?"

At this time, a person next to him said to the person who was in charge.

"Well, go ahead. Be careful not to let Zhao Jun find out. The leader thought for a moment and agreed.

"Mark it and understand." The person who had just suggested replied.

After the man had gone, the man at the head looked up at the sky, sighed, and said to the few remaining men on the hills:

"Alas! My Zhao State's intelligence sub-bureau is miserable now, and I didn't detect the movement of the 100,000 troops of the Zhao army to the south, and I don't know how to deal with it by the headquarters when I turn around? ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "I don't know how the main army in the front of my Emperor Hill City is doing now?" ”

The land of the coalition army camp to the west of Diqiu, within a radius of dozens of miles, was full of killings.

The armies of both sides have become intertwined and have turned into a melee.

The sky was already bright, and the situation of the scuffle between the two sides was very clear.

On a small hillside outside the camp, the commander of the Yan army, Lejian, issued another order:

"Send another brigade of infantry to form a formation and throw it into the coalition camp, surround the coalition forces in front of me, and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The trumpet sounded, and the flag danced.

Suddenly, another brigade, more than 3,000 people, was ordered to move forward.

The marching drum "dongdong" sounded, and all the officers and men of the brigade stood up in unison and put down the masks on their helmets together. To the beat of the drums, the infantry brigade marched slowly towards the front with neat steps.

The battle has reached this level, as the chief general of the coalition army, Zhao Yi and the chief general of the Yan army, Le Jian, both know that the armies of both sides have no way to retreat until now, and they cannot take a step back.

Otherwise, whoever dares to retreat will immediately collapse their own army.

In this era, such a large-scale battle, because of the restrictions of communication and command, after the battle began, the commanders of both sides had no way to give specific command to the troops thrown into the battlefield.

An army is thrown into battle, either defeating the enemy or crumbling on its own.

Therefore, at this time, the use of reserve corps is extremely important.

Looking from the hillside, this infantry brigade of more than 3,000 Yan troops pressed neatly into the large camp of the coalition army.

The rolling torrent of steel entered the coalition camp, surging like waves, and slammed into a place where the Qin army was formed. The sound of soldiers fighting on both sides suddenly sounded and became one.

People kept falling, and people kept filling in, and the armies of the two sides were fighting, and there were not so many clever tricks, that is, the struggle of strength and will, that is, to see the blood of the soldiers on that side drain first.

On a high platform of the coalition army, the main general Zhao Yi was covered in blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he watched the scene of the melee between the two armies in front. Seeing that many soldiers of the Qin army fell under the enemy's blades because of the gap in weapons and equipment, their hearts were twisted.

The Art of War: A long battle is not chaotic, and the damage is not a rout.

Youyun: Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the aggression is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to cure like a yin, and it is moving like a thunderbolt.

These sentences are a specific portrayal of the Yan army in the melee.

Zhao Yi already understood very well that the Yan army's decisive battle was to exchange lives for lives, losses for losses, and adopt the tactics of exchanging seeds. It's a very simple tactic, and it's very effective, but it's also very brutal.

I pressed it up in such a dignified manner, either the enemy army collapsed, or our army was defeated.

As for the number of dead and wounded, it is no longer in the Lord's consideration.

From the midnight fight to the present, the losses of both sides have become clear at this moment.

The two battalions on the left and right of the coalition army will not be in any better condition than the Qin battalion, but only worse.

Even the current Qin camp, the reserved reserve army is less than 30,000 people.

Outside the camp of the coalition army, there were a large number of Yan troops lined up, especially the cavalry units of the Yan army, and at this time there was at least a fully formed army, ready to enter the battle ahead.

At this time, almost all the forces of the coalition forces were engaged in the battle.

In the face of the Yan army's formation formation, the purpose of the dignified and upright style of play is to consume the strength of the coalition army. After that, it will inevitably allow the cavalry troops to launch an assault and annihilate the coalition forces in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yi saw it very clearly in his heart, but he couldn't crack it at this time.

"General, what should we do now?"

Among the Qin army, there are many people who can fight well, and seeing that their side is at a disadvantage, they asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi's eyes closed, and after a while, they opened again.

Yang Tian laughed and said sharply: "This general has received Wang Shi's kindness, and there is no way to repay, at the moment, there is only death and ear!" ”

Many generals of the Qin army also knew the current situation of the melee between the two armies, and it was impossible to retreat.

They bowed down to Zhao Yi and said, "I am willing to fight to the death for the country with the general." ”

Zhao Yi looked at the generals of the Qin army and ordered:

"Our army's more than 30,000 reserve troops can no longer be put into battle at this time, and we must guard against the final impact of the Yan cavalry. I will send an order to the rear camp and issue blades to the tens of thousands of people who transport grain and grass logistics, regardless of men, women, old and weak, so that they can throw themselves into battle and consume the enemy army. ”

This order can be said to have no "humanity", and when the generals of the Qin army heard it, they all showed unbearable expressions.

Zhao Yi looked at the expressions of the generals, and tears flowed down.

"Generals, this crime is borne by me, Zhao Yi. Tell these fathers and fellow villagers that I'm Zhao Yi who can't stand them. After this battle, no matter whether it is success or failure, I, Zhao Yi, will judge myself, apologize to them, go underground to endure their scolding, and ...... as soon as possible Give the order as soon as possible. ”

"No." One general received the order and headed towards the rear camp.

In less than half an hour, from the back camp of the Qin army, there were many people's cries and shouts.

Under the supervision of the Qin army's warlord, tens of thousands of people in the rear camp of the Qin army were forced to come towards the place where the two armies were fighting in front. These people had no armor, and some even came forward with their bare hands, crying and crying.

In the music room on the hillside, as well as many Yan army generals, they all saw this situation in the telescope, and all of them were stunned.

A general stepped forward and asked Lema:

"General, the Qin army has thrown the people into the battlefield, how should our army deal with it?"

Le Jian was so angry that he trembled, gritted his teeth and said:

"This must be an order from Zhao Yi, the commander of the coalition forces, this person is simply not a son of man, he is a brute, he will be punished. This battle is a matter of life and death for our army, and it is also related to the life and death of our Yan country, we will wait...... There is no way back. ”

At this, his eyes were closed, and his voice was dull but unusually clear:

"Beat the drums of war and pass on my commands, who ...... Who dares to ...... Stop our army and kill it. ”
