Chapter 963: Choices and Shocking Changes (Part 1)

Yuanli, the camp of the Qin army.

Wang Jian sat in the tent and quietly looked at the will from Qin Wang Chu that had just been brought by the messenger from Xianyang City.

It said a lot of it, but in general, it was one sentence: "Either retreat back to Xianyang, or find an opportunity to fight Li Mu and defeat him!" ”

This was the decision made by Qin Wang Chu after listening to the advice of several veterans, including Sima Xin.

In the state of Qin, the decision of King Chu of Qin was the final decision.

Therefore, whether Wang Jian wants to or not, he must implement such a decision.

After a long time, Wang Jian put down the letter in his hand and let out a long breath, his heart full of depression and entanglement.

"The King...... Why are you so impatient! ”

Can't figure it out.

I really can't figure it out.

In Wang Qian's view, as a defensive party, it is natural that Qin should try his best to deal with Zhao, and then spread some rumors and discord in Zhao's territory, maybe it can make some problems for the people of Zhao, so that Qin can get a chance to breathe or even turn defeat into victory.

But as soon as Qin Wang Chu's order came, Wang Jian would not be able to continue to spend time with Li Mu here, otherwise Wang Jian would be disobedient.

Disobeying the king's orders, this is a big crime enough to kill the head or even punish the whole clan in any dynasty or any country!

Speaking of which, with the two choices given by Qin Wang Chu, Wang Jian actually felt in his heart that the decision to retreat back to Xianyang was actually better.

But the question is, even if the Qin army wants to retreat now, can it really retreat?

You must know that at the beginning, Wang Jian was already ready to be in a stalemate with Zhao Jun here for several months, and even the grain and grass materials were being transported over, just to find opportunities in the stalemate.

Now that this battle has just started for less than two months, Qin Wang Chu actually wants to start a war with a roar?

Wang Jian thought about it, and couldn't help but slap it on the table with a hard slap.

"Damn, is someone bewitching the king? No, I must tell the king the true military situation now, so as not to let the king be misled! ”

Wang Jian made up his mind and began to write hard.

After a while, an urgent report from Wang Jian was released.

In this urgent report, Wang Jian gave a very detailed introduction to the difficult battle situation faced by the Qin army today.

The threat posed by Zhao Jun's Heaven-Shaking Thunder was too great for the Qin Army, and without the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, Wang Jian had no confidence at all that he would be able to defeat Li Mu on a frontal battlefield.

In fact, even if there is no earth-shaking thunder, Wang Jian is also not too sure to defeat Li Mu, the existence of the earth-shaking thunder is just to turn the original situation of the two sides into two or eight.

Twenty percent, or even less probability of winning, this is the situation that Wang Jian has to face now.

But it was in such a situation that Wang Jian received an order from Xianyang to attack!

Wang Jian shook his head, sealed the letter in his hand with fire paint, and was about to call his personal guard captain up, when suddenly a report came from outside the tent: "General Wei Yu asks to see!" ”

Wang Jian paused for a moment, and then said, "Please let him in." ”

A moment later, a face full of excitement appeared in front of Wang Qian.

As soon as he appeared, Wei Yu couldn't help but speak: "I heard that the general has received an order from Xianyang, and he is about to lead the second and third sons to attack and have a decisive battle with the people of Zhao?" ”

Wang Qian's body was shocked, and he looked at Wei Yu in surprise: "How did you find out?" ”

You must know that Wang Jian had just received the letter from Xianyang not long ago, and then Wei Yi actually knew the news.

Could it be that Wei Yu also has his own intelligence channels? Or is it the news that the messenger has leaked?

Wang Qian's heart suddenly set off countless turbulent waves, and there was even a faint hint of murder.

Wei Yu didn't realize this at all, but showed a very excited expression on his face, and said, "It's spread all over the barracks." ”

"It's all over the barracks?" The bad feeling in Wang Qian's heart became stronger and stronger.

What kind of operation is this, the main general has just received the news, and the soldiers already know the content of the secret decree from Xianyang?

Wang Qian's face gradually became gloomy.

There are ghosts, there must be ghosts.

Just when Wang Jian wanted to say something, a violent vibration suddenly came, and Wang Jian fell directly to the ground without a stable foothold.

"Not good!" Wang Qian's face changed: "Zhao Guoren is attacking!" ”

Wang Jian rushed out of the tent, and sure enough, he saw countless fires surging outside the tent, and one after another earth-shattering thunderbolts were thrown into the camp of the Qin army.

The sharp sound of cymbals echoed in the camp of the Qin army, and countless soldiers of the Qin army hurriedly rushed out of the tents, took weapons and equipment and began to enter the defensive position.

However, it was obvious that Qin Jun did not expect Zhao Jun to suddenly launch such a night attack, so he responded somewhat hastily.

Fortunately, Wang Jian usually manages the army well, so he is in a hurry, but there is not much chaos.

"Fire Oil Bomb!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation in his ears.

Wang Jian looked up, and sure enough, he saw that a fire oil bomb had landed in a certain camp tent twenty or thirty steps away from him, and the camp was set on fire in an instant.

A heat wave was coming, making Wang Jian even a little unable to open his eyes.

But he didn't have time to pay attention to these things at this time, but yelled at Wei Yu: "What are the scouts doing to eat, and they didn't even find out about the transfer of Zhao Jun?" ”

Wei Yi smiled bitterly and spread out his hand to show that he was also confused.

At this time, the earth began to tremble faintly again, Wang Jian just subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, and suddenly came back to his senses: "No, this is not a thunderstorm, it is a cavalry!" ”

Wei Yu also remembered something, and his face also changed greatly: "This is an armored cavalry!" ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of panic on each other's faces.

If the armored cavalry really succeeds in charging the camp, then it is really over!

Wang Jian didn't care about saying anything, and hurriedly ran towards the high platform not far away.

Only there will he be able to truly figure out what the situation is like now.

Wang Jian ran briskly, and the earth-shattering thunder kept falling, which made Wang Qian's heart full of anger.

You know, in the previous battle,

Obviously, Zhao Guoren followed the help of the night and quietly moved the position of the earth-shaking thunder trebuchet forward.

To be able to do this without the Qin army's scouts being discovered, how long did the people of Zhao Guoren prepare?

Or did the people of Zhao have already thought of this method since the first day of this war?

Wang Jian took three steps and made two steps to climb the high platform.

What made him breathe a sigh of relief was that although it was said that the earth-shattering thunder and fire oil bombs of the Zhao people had exploded in the Qin army's camp, the Qin army's position had still not been broken through.

The two fire dragons were rapidly approaching the wall, which was obviously the armored cavalry of the Zhao army's trump card, but judging from the current situation, the trench in front of the wall should be enough to stop the attack of the armored cavalry.

What made Wang Jian even more relaxed was that in the dark night outside the Qin army's camp, except for the long dragons pulled out by the two Zhao military armored cavalry, there was no fire, which also meant that the Zhao army's infantry force had not launched a large-scale offensive at least for now.

Wang Jian ordered to Wei Yu in a deep voice: "Immediately send the order, the whole army is on alert, and prepare to resist the night attack of the Zhao army!" Also, let the Yuanli City side also pay attention, once the Zhao army attacks, the direction of Yuanli City must give our army a little response, and it is absolutely impossible for the Zhao army to swagger and attack our army's camp without scruples! ”

Wang Jian put 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yuanli City, just to be able to contain the Zhao people at this time, otherwise, once the Zhao people concentrated their forces to break through, the pressure on the Qin army camp would be too great.

As for why he didn't put all the troops in Yuanli City, on the one hand, it was because this small city was not enough to accommodate so many people, and on the other hand, it was also because Wang Jian was worried about the power of the Zhao people's earth-shaking thunder.

But no matter what, Wang Jian didn't want to lose this battle.

Li Mu's surprise attack seemed to be ineffective, and it was only at this time that Wang Jian saw a long dragon of torches spreading out of the Zhao army's camp.

With years of vision across the battlefield, Wang Jian could easily judge that this time the Zhao army should dispatch about 20,000 people.

Wang Jian did not think that with only 20,000 vanguard troops, he would be able to allow the Zhao people to break through his position.

Therefore, in the eyes of the chief general of the Qin army, his opponent Li Mu seems to have made a mistake in this battle.

The armored cavalry had been blocked by the Qin army's rejection of horses and trenches, and after two rounds of dense crossbow arrows were fired, the armored cavalry in the darkness seemed to have signs of retreating.

"Perhaps, it's time to stop a small counterattack and try to kill and injure the living force of the Zhao people?"

Armored cavalry needs speed to be able to exert enough strength, which Wang Jian knows very well.

Right now, this group of armored cavalry who stayed motionless outside the Qin army's camp was simply a pile of meat on the chopping board!

As long as an elite force is sent out of the camp, Wang Jian feels that he is fully capable of cleaning up this armored cavalry unit of the Zhao people in a short period of time, and the arrangements are clear.

It's just that Wang Jian hesitated a little: "If this is Li Mu's ambush, then I will attack easily, won't I fall for his plan?" ”

The two thoughts were entangled in Wang Qian's mind, making him seem very contentious.

However, the fighters on the battlefield have always been fleeting, and where can there be so much hesitation and entanglement?

After a while, Wang Jian finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Someone is ...... coming."

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering loud bang suddenly resounded throughout the night sky.
