Chapter 40: Bloody Changping (5)

In the tent of the Qin army commander in Guangwolf City, Bai Qi was still preaching to the generals of the Qin army: "My 100,000 cavalry and infantry will confront the Zhao army in order and the area of Laomaling and the Hunshi River Valley in Changping, so that the Zhao army will not be able to rest. When the Zhao army was weakened, I equipped the 200,000 heavy troops of the Qin army with new chariots, and then launched a new round of attack on the 400,000 army of the Zhao army. ”

In the military cabinet of the Liaodi Junhou Mansion, the general Rong Yi was also preaching to everyone: "Son, my lords, if I were Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, I would definitely take advantage of Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, to rush to attack, and use the army to deceive and lure the Zhao army to the place of Changping in Laomaling, and fatigue the Zhao army. ”

"At the same time, a certain general will inevitably send an elite army to attack the rear of the Zhao army, which is already empty, that is, the defense line of the Danshui River and the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall, from both flanks, to block the retreat of the Zhao army and cut off the contact between the Zhao army."

Bai Qi was in the tent, and still said to Wang Ji and other Qin army generals: "After his 400,000 Zhao troops have entered the Changping Hunshui River Valley, General Meng Qi, who had already set off last night, has brought 25,000 new horse chariots and cavalry. From the northeast along the Duanshi River Valley, straight into the empty Baili Stone Great Wall behind the Zhao army. ”

"The 25,000 cavalry will bypass Xiangong Mountain as soon as possible, capture the Changping Pass in the north of Danzhu Ridge, and tomorrow morning, they will definitely be able to cut off the back road of their Zhao army. Immediately, they will launch an attack on the old pass of the Baili Stone Great Wall. Now the rear of the Zhao army is empty, and if nothing else, it will inevitably occupy the old pass. ”

Rong Yan, the general of Liaodi, also continued to preach to everyone: "In this way, the Qin army will inevitably take advantage of the terrain of Shangdang to cut off the connection between the Zhao army's grain and grass and the main force of the Zhao army, and divide and surround the 450,000 Zhao army in different areas such as Changping, Daliangshan, and Hanwang Mountain in the Shangdang area. This time, the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao in the Shangdang, if it is not expected, the Zhao army will inevitably be defeated. ”

The voice of the commander of the Qin army, Bai Qi, continued to ring in the ears of the generals of the Qin army: "The grain and grass of the Zhao army will inevitably be hoarded in the Great Grain Mountain, according to my scout, there are a total of 40,000 Zhao troops guarding, and Zhao Kuo's 400,000 troops are now in the Changping area. ”

"Last night, I sent General Wang Ling to lead 5,000 cavalry, with a new type of horse chariot, to the southeast to walk the line of the Dongcangshui riverbed, and pierce between the two mountains of Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain. Tomorrow at the latest, if there is no accident, it will inevitably completely cut off the connection between the Zhao army of Daliangshan and the army led by Zhao Kuo. Then he swooped down on the old pass and joined up with the 25,000 cavalry led by General Mengfu. ”

At this time, Ji Kang looked at the map of Shangdang on the wall and said to Rong Yan: "General Rong Yan, according to your estimates, can the Qin army completely annihilate the Zhao army?" ”

Ju Xin and others also looked at Rong Yan. Rong Yan clenched his fists and said to Ji Kang: "Childe, if I were Zhao Kuo, I would definitely break my arm to survive this time, give up the Zhao army of Hanwang Mountain and Daliangshan behind the Danshui River, and let them storm the Qin army and drag the Qin army." Before the Qin army closed and encircled, I led the army back to attack Changping Pass, and then captured the old pass. This is certainly a big defeat, but the main force remains. ”

"If you hesitate at this time, you want to go south to attack the Qin army and join up with the Zhao army of Hanwangshan behind the Daliangshan and Danshui River. According to the plan of Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, it is inevitable that the army will be arranged to block it here. It has been a long time, and the back road of the main force of the Zhao army will inevitably be blocked by the main force of the Qin army, and the possibility of the destruction of the whole army exists. ”

Ji Xin and the others couldn't help but take another breath, and everyone said: "I can actually break my arm to survive at this time and abandon the army." General Rong Yan, the name of this "runaway general" is really extraordinary! ”

Ji Kang nodded, and continued to ask Rong Yan: "General Rong Yan, you have to tell the truth. If it is our Liao army, and at this moment it is confronting the Qin army in Shangdang, can it defeat the Qin army when the number of people is equal? ”

Rong Yan said without hesitation: "Son, my lords, since our army defeated the plot of the Three Kingdoms to invade Liao, it has already laid the confidence of victory. Subsequently, a large-scale "military reform" was carried out, and our army now has surpassed the top in terms of weapons, equipment, morale, command, training, military system, and even our army's logistics. ”

"If our army is confronted by the Qin army, with the same strength, there is no need to play so many tricks, just push it over. No matter how strong the Qin army's military formation is, our Liao army's heavy cavalry can break through; No matter how strong the Qin army's fortress is, our army's catapults and other large siege equipment can be destroyed. ”

At this point, Rong Yan was a little excited, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot, and he said to Ji Kang and the others: "Son, my lords, a certain general will assure you that now a certain general really hopes that he can lead my Liaodi army to attack other countries." ”

After a pause, Rong Yan didn't know why his eyes were a little moist? said slowly to Ji Kang: "Childe, a certain general thinks that after this year, I can start the conquest." Under this, it belongs to Gongzi and belongs to my Liaodi. ”

Ji Kang looked at Rong Worm appreciatively, and he was a little excited, but nothing.

He slowly stood up, clapped his hands, and gave Rong Worm praise. Seeing this, the four of them, Ji Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Ji Mao, looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were like a glitter, and they were a little moist. They all stood up and applauded.

Bai Qi walked slowly in front of the map of the handsome tent, and said to Wang Ji and other generals of the Qin army: "Generals, in this way, the Zhao army will inevitably be divided into two by our army. The main force on the northern line and the southern line were cut off from grain and grass and supplies. The entire Zhao army will be under the jurisdiction of our Qin army, between Laomaling, Guangwolf City, Changping Pass, and Guguan, and the Zheng of the triangle pocket of about forty miles long."

Sun Tzu said: "Ten and surround it, five and attack it", now our Qin and Zhao army are equal in strength, this plan to besiege the Zhao army is very dangerous. But as long as they survived the first three days, the morale of the Zhao army collapsed. Seven days later, Zhao Jun will be completely exhausted of the grain and grass he carries with him. At that time, our Qin army will be able to reap the harvest and wait for the Zhao army to be captured. ”

Ji Kang was in the military cabinet, and he also walked slowly, and then stood still, and said to the people: "Now that the party is in the war situation, the situation of the defeat of the Zhao army or the annihilation of the whole army is irreversible. However, after the battle of the upper party, the intention of Qin Wang Yingji to unify will also be revealed. Therefore, the Qin State will inevitably arouse a high degree of vigilance among other countries in the Central Plains. ”

In this way, the countries of the Central Plains will inevitably unite to fight against the Qin State together. I think the life of King Qin Yingji will not be easy in the future. We in Liaodi should seize the current favorable opportunity to speed up the development of the seven counties in Liaodi when the countries of the Central Plains are unable to take care of our Liaodi, so as to meet the greater challenges of our Liaodi in the future. ”

Ji Xin and the others stood up together, bowed down and said to Ji Kang: "No." ”

At this time, Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, said to Wang Yi and other Qin army generals while standing still: "Generals, all I can do is this. After that, it will be up to you to lead our army. Alright, let's all go down and do what we planned! This time, I will leave the decisive battle between the two armies of Qin and Zhao, so I will leave it to you. ”

Wang Yi and many other generals of the Qin army clasped their fists together and bowed to each other and said: "I will live up to the general's stop."

It was too late, and the 700,000 Qin and Zhao armies that fought in Laomaling each withdrew their troops and planned to fight again tomorrow.

In the early morning of August 2, the Zhao army continued to start a new battle with the Qin army at Laomaling.

At noon, a scout of the Zhao army, covered in blood, rode a horse and ran in front of Zhao Kuo, knelt down and cried: "Report, General Qiyu, I am the Changpingguan of the Great Wall of Baili Shi, which was captured by the Qin army last night. Please send troops to the general and rush back to help. ”

Before the words fell, another scout came on horseback and reported to Zhao Kuoyu: "Report, general, last night, the passage between my Daliang Mountain and Hanwang Mountain was cut off by the Qin army, please send troops back to help." ”

At this moment, another scout scout came on horseback to report: "Report, the cavalry of the Qin army cut into our army from Dongcangshui, cut into our army in the east, and joined up with another cavalry at the old pass, so the pass was lost." ”

Zhao Kuo, the coach of Zhao Jun, heard this, and his face turned pale. looked at the three Zhao Army scouts blankly, then looked at the Zhao Army generals beside him, and muttered, "How can this be?" How so? ”

Then he asked the three scouts who came to report the news, "How many soldiers and horses does the Qin army have?" ”

The three captains looked at each other, and one of the captains replied: "General Qiyu, the Qin army has never seen it before, and the horse chariot opened the way." Accompanied by cavalry, the wind came at a gallop, and the support seemed to be endless, and the number of soldiers and horses of the Qin army was not known. ”

Zhao Kuo's lieutenant general was beside him, and hurriedly said to Zhao Kuo: "General, now our army should Mingjin collect its troops, hurry up and go south, and join our Zhao army in Daliang Mountain." Otherwise, my Zhao army's food and grass are worried! ”

Zhao Kuo came to his senses, but he had lost the ability to think about the problem, and said to the deputy general: "Yes, yes!" Quickly collect the troops and go south to rescue our Zhao army in Daliangshan. ”

At this time, it is not easy to withdraw troops. The general of the Qin army, Wang Qian, led 300,000 Qin troops and died in Laomaling, dragging the main force of the Zhao army. The battle was dark, and Zhao Kuo's main force couldn't get out. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to lead the army to slowly retreat to Changping, preparing to counterattack tomorrow.

So far, the entire 450,000 army of Zhao was separated and surrounded by the Qin army, and the three areas of Changping, Hanwang Mountain, and Daliangshan in the Shangdang area were separated. The Qin army has preliminarily completed, and the strategic plan formulated by Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army.

Subsequently, Bai Qi sent people to quickly report to King Yingji of Qin in Hanoi County. He asked Qin Wang Yingji to send reinforcements in a hurry to annihilate the 450,000 Zhao troops in the Shangdang area.
