Chapter Ninety-Six: Night Attack (Four More Requests for Subscription)
October 13, 260 B.C., night, three hours and hours.
This was already the third day of a large-scale offensive by Changping against the Qin army.
During these three days, the army of the Qin State launched an extremely large-scale offensive, carrying out wave after wave of attacks on the defense line of Zhao Leibi.
On several occasions, the Qin army had almost broken through the Zhao army's defensive line, but the Zhao army, under the command of Lian Po, was always able to launch a counterattack at the most critical time and beat back the Qin army, which was about to succeed.
According to the previous experience when Wang Yi was still the chief general of the Qin army, the Qin army should temporarily suspend its troops after three days of long-term attack.
But the world-famous Wu Anjun didn't seem to have such a meaning at all, but the offensive was higher and higher, which put Zhao Jun under great pressure.
Of course, the Zhao army was not the only one under pressure, in the past three days alone, the Qin army on the attacking side had already paid the price of more than 10,000 killed, but that Wu Anjun seemed to be completely indifferent to this, and the Qin army's offensive showed no signs of stopping.
If the Zhao army is like an extremely flexible bowstring, then the Qin army has begun to gradually tighten the string of the Zhao army to the extreme in these consecutive days of fighting.
Next, either the bowstring will snap directly, or it will be a Jedi rebound.

Da Liang Mountain, Zhao Junshuai's account.
Almost as soon as he heard the first shout of killing, Lian Po, the commander of the Zhao army, jumped up from the hard marching collapse and subconsciously held the sword at the head of the bed.
"What?" The old general asked loudly outside the tent.
After a few seconds, a reply came from outside the tent: "General, enemy attack!" ”
"Enemy attack?" Lian Po was shocked and strode out of the tent.
The moment he walked out of Shuai's tent, Lian Po was stunned.
It was already late at night, but in front of Lian Po was a blazing fire, and the ubiquitous torches lit up from the north bank of the Dan River, and countless stars converged on the earth to form a continuous dragon, which made everyone who saw it frightened.
Lian Po's eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face at first, but this look of surprise was quickly replaced by a raging battle intent.
"White ...... You really can't hold it back. ”
At this time, unless you are blind, anyone can see that the Qin army has begun to launch a night attack!
To be honest, Lian Po was not surprised at all about Bai Qi launching a night attack.
There is a saying that it is never your friends who know you best, but your enemies.
As for Bai Qi's enemy, Lian Po has put a lot of effort into research.
In Lian Po's view, what Bai Qi is best at is to win by surprise.
In Bai Qi's famous battle of Yique, the 150,000 Qin army led by Bai Qi took advantage of the fog to attack, first bluffing with a small part of the troops to attract the attention of the Korean army, and then attacking the Wei army on the flank of the Korean army with all his might, quickly defeating the Wei army and outflanking the Korean army from the flank, taking advantage of the situation to defeat the Korean army, and finally laying the victory.
In the Battle of Huayang, Bai Qi led the Qin army to complete a thousand-mile attack day and night, so that the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, which were completely caught off guard, suffered a super defeat.
In the battle of destroying Chu and breaking Yan Ying, Bai Qi's lone army went deep into the Chu realm, flooding hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and civilians in Yandu, forcing the frightened Chu Xiang King Xiong to abandon the city and flee, and Yingwu fell without a fight.
All in all, Bai Qi seems to have a thousand schemes in his mind, just as "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says, "Those who are good and surprising are infinite as heaven and earth, and endless as rivers." "You can't guess what this Wu Anjun will do next!
This is obviously not good news for Lian Po, because Lian Po suddenly found that there are too many routines in Bai Qi and he can't guess it.
So after some painstaking thinking, Lian Po made what he thought was the safest decision.
General Ben didn't guess.
Anyway, Bai Qi is going to attack, and since this is the case, then General Ben only needs to hold the defensive line, which is enough.
As long as General Ben manages the defense line thoroughly, what if Bai Qi has a thousand schemes? If you have the ability, fly over!
This is called "adapting to change".
It has to be said that at least in the past three days, Lian Po's strategy has been successful.
Although the Qin army launched hundreds of offensives on a front that stretched for dozens of miles, and even used ace troops like Qin Ruishi, the Zhao army could be said to have almost perfectly blocked the Qin army's offensive under Lian Po's central dispatch, and it was stunned that the Qin people were not able to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
This even made the old general feel a little complacent in his heart.
Wu Anjun is white, but that's it!
But even so, Lian Po did not relax his vigilance, and the veteran general who had experienced a hundred battles knew very well in his heart that he could not be blindly optimistic until the day of complete victory.
It is precisely because of this that Lian Po has been issuing orders to all troops for several days - beware of the night attack of the Qin army!
Sure enough, on the third night of the battle, the night attack of the Qin people came.
Therefore, when Lian Po looked at the countless fires that suddenly poured out on the south bank of the Dan River, he did not have any fear or panic in his heart, but instead surged with infinite fighting spirit.
There is no doubt that this sudden night attack is definitely the moment when the dagger is exhausted.
In this case, let General Ben see Er Baiqi's ability!
Although the killing sound on the south bank of the Dan River was shocking at this moment, Lian Po did not rush to make a judgment, but calmly stared at the ubiquitous fire in front of him, trying to find out the real direction of Bai Qi's attack.
You must know that a night attack like this is usually about suddenness.
After all, from the perspective of the pure attacker, due to the poor vision at night, it is easy to become a live target for the defending archers with a torch, so it must be a successful blow, otherwise it will be basically in vain when the defenders react.
At this moment, under Lian Po's gaze, five fire dragons composed of hundreds of torches had already begun to cross the river and launched an attack on Zhao Leibi's defense line on a frontal battlefield about ten miles wide.
With just a glance, Lian Po was able to conclude that these five troops were all fully formed Qin military formations, which were the so-called "departments".
There are a total of 6,000 people, so just these five Qin troops who launched an attack at night add up to at least 30,000 people!
In less than a few minutes, the 30,000 forward troops had already crossed the Dan River under the firepower of the Zhao army and launched an attack on Zhao Leibi.
Not only that, but farther away, there were also many long dragons wandering and rushing.
In fact, on the entire Dan River battlefield, which lasted for dozens of miles, the Qin army launched a full-scale offensive.
One herald after another came to Lian Po and loudly reported the situation of the battle.
"General, Hyun City has been attacked by the Qin army, the battle is very fierce, and the defenders are asking for help!"
"General, Han Wangshan encountered the Qin army, the offensive was extremely fierce, and the defenders asked for help!"
"General, Daliangshan was attacked by the Qin State, and it is at war with the enemy, the enemy army is in a hurry, and the defenders are asking for help!"
One piece of information after another reached Lian Po's ears, making Lian Po's brows slowly wrinkle.
To be honest, such a situation is unusual.
As a famous general who is familiar with the art of war, Lian Po asked himself if he and Bai Qi changed places, then he must have sent a number of suspicious troops to feint to create momentum to cover the real main attack force to launch a surprise attack.
As long as the main attacking force can tear a gap, then the main force of the Qin army can follow up with the situation, break through the surface with points, and completely defeat the defense line of the Zhao army.
But the question is, where is Bai Qi's main direction of attack?
If you judge only by the intelligence in front of you, then it will give people the feeling that every direction is the main direction of attack of the Qin army.
It's simply impossible!
Lian Po stood on top of the Great Grain Mountain and slowly turned his head to look at this battlefield.
Smoke everywhere, fires soaring into the sky, and shouts of killing are everywhere.
Lian Po's face gradually turned cold.
Obviously, Bai Qi didn't want Lian Po to guess where was the main direction of the Qin army.
The corners of Lian Po's mouth moved slightly, and he let out a sneer.
"Bai Qi, Mo Feier really thinks that General Ben is so easy to deceive!"
Lian Po waved his hand and immediately issued an order: "Order the officers and men of the whole army to resist on the spot, and not take a step back." Violators, behead! ”
After giving this order, Lian Po immediately issued the next one.
"Quickly give General Ben an investigation, where has fallen, and where has not yet encountered the Qin army!"
Lian Po's orders were quickly issued one by one. And it was quick to get a response.
"General, Hyun City has not yet fallen."
"General, Han Wangshan is also in a fierce battle."
"General, Changpingguan has not replied!"
"General, the Great Dongcang River Valley is in a bitter battle!"
Just as the last messenger returned, Lian Po seemed to have suddenly caught something.
"Dadongcang River Valley?" Lian Po chewed the name slowly, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
This Dadongcang River Valley is not an insignificant place, once this place is occupied by the Qin army, then the Qin army can go all the way north along the Dadongcang River Valley, and go straight to the old pass on the southeast side of the Bailishi Great Wall.
Once the old pass is captured by the Qin army, then the back road of the main force of the Zhao army on the line of Daliangshan, Hanwangshan and Hyun City will be cut off by more than half!
Thinking of this, Lian Po subconsciously took a breath of cold air.
Could it be that the real direction of the Qin army's attack was this Great Dongcang River Valley?
