Chapter 104: Lian Po's Emergency Response
It wasn't until this time that Zhao Kuo had time to think of a question.
How did Lecheng end up here?
You must know that Le Cheng's identity is not ordinary, he is the second highest status after Lian Po among the 450,000 Zhao army, and he is the general of Zhao who guards the defense line of Hanwang Mountain and acts as the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Zhao army many times, and has repelled many attacks by the Qin army.
How could such a person suddenly appear in the old pass, far away from the front line, and still arrive at the time when the old pass was under attack, this is too much of a coincidence, right?
Generally speaking, if it is too much of a coincidence, it must not be a coincidence.
So the arrival of Lecheng is certainly not a coincidence.
In fact, behind Le Cheng, there are still 10,000 elite soldiers of the Zhao army who are rushing at a rapid pace, and they have only one goal, that is, if the old pass falls, then they will take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold at all costs to recapture the old pass!
The only person who can issue these orders is, of course, the only one who is the real commander of Zhao Jun - Lian Po.
Due to the objective reason that Changping Pass and Daliangshan were located in the southernmost and northernmost part of the Zhao army's defense line, coupled with the fact that the Qin army's sudden all-out offensive greatly hindered the fluency and correctness of the Zhao army's information, when Lian Po knew that Changping Pass had fallen, it was already almost two hours after the incident.
This matter has to start when Lian Po learned the news.
At that time, Lian Po was still standing at the highest point of Daliang Mountain, condescendingly overlooking the entire battlefield.
Because of the darkness of the night, Lian Po could only see the star-like and almost ubiquitous firelight in the darkness on both sides of the Dan River, and the shouts of killing that accompanied the firelight into the sky.
Since the Qin army began to raid, the whole battle has lasted for half a night, and Lian Po's mood has slowly become relaxed from the nervousness and worry at the beginning.
According to the feedback of the Zhao army everywhere, although the Qin army's offensive was extremely fierce at the beginning, after the timely deployment of troops, the Zhao army firmly blocked the Qin army's offensive with the terrain advantage brought by a complete defense system, and did not let the Qin army make a breakthrough on any battlefield.
Everything seems to be going well, but there is a problem, that is, the Qin army seems to be very obsessed with the Dadongcang River Valley, even if Lian Po has calmly arranged the layers of defense lines, but the Qin army's offensive against the Dadongcang River Valley is still wave after wave, and there is no sign of stopping at all.
Even if Lian Po was standing on the top of Daliang Mountain now, he could see hundreds of Qin soldiers rushing out of the darkness, killing under Zhao Leibi's defense line, and then falling in batches.
It seems that Bai Qi seems to have made up his mind to die in the Dadongcang River Valley.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Lian Po's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, this old general of Zhao seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
But Lian Po's good mood didn't last long.
After another while, when he received that the Qin army was still storming the Dadongcang River Valley, Lian Po finally realized that something was wrong.
It's not normal, it's so abnormal.
This style of not hitting the south wall and not looking back should not belong to Bai Qi at all.
Bai Qi's command style has always been unexpected, when did he become so iron-clad?
Is there a deception in this?
If Bai Qi really has any deception, doesn't this mean that Lian Po is still in the dark?
As soon as he thought of this, the smile on the corner of Lian Po's mouth disappeared instantly.
"General, General!" At this time, a general of Zhao Guo named Qi Ling hurriedly appeared in front of Lian Po and said loudly: "General, Han Wangshan is in a hurry, Changping Pass has been lost!"
"What?" Lian Po's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and his whole body shook violently as if he had been hit hard.
Changping Pass, it turned out to be Changping Pass that Bai Qi attacked??
I have to say that Bai Qi's offensive direction was completely unexpected by Lian Po.
After all, in Lian Po's opinion, due to the restrictions of the terrain and the heavy guards of the Zhao army, it was completely impossible for Changping Pass to fall.
But Bai Qi did this, and more importantly - Bai Qi also succeeded!
What does the fall of Changpingguan represent, Lian Po couldn't understand it in his heart.
You must know that the entire defense line of the Zhao army was originally similar to the word "work", with Hanwang Mountain in front - Hyunshi City - Daliang Mountain, Changping Pass - Sheep's Head Mountain - Guguan in the rear, and Xiaodongcang River Valley in the middle connecting the two lines of defense.
But now that Changping Pass has been lost, there is a gap in the rear of the Zhao army's originally complete defense system, which has changed from the shape of the word "work" to the shape of the word "T".
And Lian Po doesn't even have to think about it to know that as long as Changping Pass is lost, then Bai Qi's next attack direction is definitely the old pass!
After the fall of Changping Pass, the ancient pass entered the attack range of the Qin army, and the possibility of the Qin army capturing the ancient pass has greatly increased.
If even the old pass is cut off, then the Zhao army will become "one" from "T", and all the main forces of the Zhao army on the entire line of Hanwangshan-Hyunshi City-Daliangshan will all fall into this super encirclement of Baiqi.
At that time, Bai Qi can rely on his superior forces to compress the living space of the Zhao army step by step, until the Zhao army is completely defeated and destroyed!
The blood on Lian Po's face instantly faded clean.
Fooled!
The reason why the Qin army attacked the Dadongcang River Valley so much at all costs under Lian Po's nose was actually just to attract the attention of Lian Po and Zhao Jun.
The sound of the east hits the west, the sound of the east hits the west!
Qi Ling, who was standing in front of Lian Po, saw that Lian Po was silent, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, after all, the military situation was in full swing right now, and it was not the time to be in a daze here.
Just when Qi Ling wanted to risk death to open his mouth to urge, Lian Po finally came back to his senses.
A look of determination flashed in the old general's eyes, and he had obviously made up his mind.
"Where is the herald?"
Lian Po called several heralds and issued orders one by one.
"Hurry up to Hanwang Mountain, and order Le to lead 500 cavalry to rescue the old pass, supplemented by 10,000 elite soldiers! If the pass is not lost, the Lecheng rate will be stubbornly guarded; If the old pass has been lost, the old pass will be recaptured at all costs! ”
"Hurry up and go to the Dadongcang River Valley, and order Xu Li to lead the department to defend the position, if there is a mistake, come to see me!"
"Then go to Hyun City, order Yong to go all out but the Qin army, and then lead the army to attack, cross the river to attack the wolf city, if it can be attacked, then attack it, if not, it will also make the Qin people not care about each other!"
······
Lian Po's speech was extremely fast, one after another orders came out of his mouth as quickly as possible, one after another heralds were ordered to leave, and after a while, more than a dozen heralds who had originally gathered in front of Lian Po had already scattered and left, and hurriedly went towards the various positions of the Zhao army.
After Lian Po issued all the orders, he thought about it for a while, and walked down the mountain without looking back.
Qi Lingdeng, who had been standing beside him, was anxious and shouted, "Where does the general want to go?" ”
Lian Po's footsteps paused, and he didn't look back: "Move the handsome tent to Han Wangshan!" ”
Suddenly, Lian Po seemed to remember something, turned around and walked back to Qi Ling's face, took out something from his hand and stuffed it into Qi Ling's hand, and then said in a low voice: "Then quickly report back to the king, inform the king that the battle situation in Changping is in danger, and let the king quickly ask for help from other countries, if there is no reinforcement to arrive, then the time when our army is defeated and withdraws from the party is not far away!" ”
