Chapter 101: The Fortress of the Turkish Army
Su Mo held on to Pingzhou City for half a month, killing and wounding more than 10,000 Qin troops, but the Qin army could not advance an inch.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jia, who could have galloped to the aid of Pingzhou in three days, did not send soldiers and horses to the rescue, but always stayed in Zhongyang, the capital, which was quite bearish on the world.
Duyi Zhongyang, Pingqi Junfu.
"How's the war going in Pingzhou?"
Zhao Jia raised his head, looked at Li Si, and asked softly.
Li Si showed a look of amazement on his face, and said: "Captain Su Mo defended Pingzhou as impregnable, and Meng Fu attacked the city day and night with an army of 100,000 people, but he couldn't do anything about Pingzhou City. ”
"When Gongzi promoted Su Mo to be the commander and ordered him to guard Pingzhou, although no one said anything in front of Gongzi, there were also many people who privately discussed that Su Mo was difficult to take on this heavy responsibility, and it was best to let Sima Duwei be stationed in Pingzhou."
"Looking at it today, it's still a torch in the son's eyes."
Su Mo and Sima Shang can be regarded as Zhao Jia's real descendants.
Today's Zhao Jia lacks the talent of a general.
Lian Po and Li Mu, the two generals of Zhao Guo, although they have a bad relationship with Zhao Jia, the two sides intersect on an equal footing, and before Zhao Jia is really in charge of Zhao Guo, it is impossible for the two to treat Zhao Jia as courtiers.
Su Mo is a jade, and Sima Shang is naturally a material that can be made, as long as the two of them are given the opportunity to practice, their achievements in the future will definitely not be too low.
Since Zhao Jia discovered the two from the army, he naturally wanted to cultivate them.
Zhao Jia has 20,000 elite cavalry under his command, and this army of soldiers and horses is the foundation of the land of Shenqi, and it cannot be without generals.
Compared with Su Mo's calmness and delicacy, Sima Shang is more sharp, energetic, and inspiring, and he is the best candidate to command the cavalry in every battle.
This is also why, Zhao Jia did not let Sima Shang garrison Pingzhou, but ordered him to stay by his side and continue to train 20,000 cavalry.
From this point of view, Zhao Jia used to attach more importance to Sima Shang, and wanted to teach the other party the most classic method of cavalry warfare in later generations, so that he could become his henchman and become a sharp blade against the Qin State in the future.
With a shallow smile on the corner of Zhao Jia's mouth, he didn't say anything more on this topic, but his eyes fell on the map.
"If the Qin army wants to seize the land of Shenqi, it will either conquer the Turkish army fortress or conquer the Pingzhou City, and the Turkish army fortress will be guarded by Zhao Bian, which can block 100,000 Qin troops."
"The Pingzhou fortress also has Su Mo, a good general, and now the Qin army's spirit has been discharged, coupled with the labor expedition, the daily consumption of grain and grass is huge, as long as Su Mo holds the Pingzhou for more than a month, the Qin army will retreat without a fight."
"According to the information gathered now, Su Mo will not have the slightest problem holding on to Pingzhou Yueyu."
"In that case, then the cavalry doesn't need to be exposed first."
The appearance of the epoch-making cavalry, Zhao Jia did not want to be exposed too early, otherwise it would give the rest of the countries a chance to follow suit.
And 20,000 cavalry is Zhao Jia's heart, pulling out to fight with Qin will have casualties, and now the land of Shenqi can't afford to bear losses, since Su Mo can hold Pingzhou, Zhao Jia is naturally reluctant to send cavalry.
This is also why, half a month has passed since the Qin army attacked Pingzhou, and Zhao Jia has never sent troops to rescue.
Only when it is forced to do so will Zhao Jia expose the existence of this cavalry.
As for the Turkish fortress, because it had already spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build it, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even far above the ordinary week.
Zhao Bian is also an outstanding talent unearthed by Zhao Jia, and with his commander of 3,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Turkish army fortress, there is nothing to worry about.
That's it.
The 100,000 Qin troops who came with great momentum and were determined to recapture the land of Shenqi could not enter the land of Shenqi at all.
This war attracted the attention of the vassal states.
Su Mo, an unknown person, finally appeared in the eyes of the world and was remembered by the rulers of all countries.
Turkish army fortress.
Outside the city gate, two women came in the dust, one of them was overwhelmed by the country, and the other was fat and bloated.
These two women are the female pawns who once participated in resisting the Yan army, Wang Ruobing and Qi Rourou.
In that battle, the two witnessed Zhao Jiaren burning down the pontoon bridge, so that the bloody robe was swallowed up by the flood, and they felt a little mustard in their hearts.
At that time, Wang Ruobing even had a strong impulse, and ran to Zhao Jia to question the other party fiercely, why did he do that.
Later, the injured Wang Ruobing fled with Qi Rourou, but was discovered by the scouts of the Yan Kingdom.
Not long after the two fled, the north of the river bank was occupied by the Yan army, and they had to hide incognito to recuperate from their injuries.
Before Wang Ruobing's injuries had healed, there was news that Zhao Guoda had broken the Yan army.
In addition to the excitement of the two, their complaints against Zhao Jia have also become much lighter, and due to the end of the war, most of the female soldiers have been sent home.
Qi Rourou, a woman who weighs two hundred pounds but has a very cowardly personality, has gradually developed a chivalrous demeanor in the process of traveling with Wang Ruobing.
Over the years, Zhao Jia first married the eldest princess of Chu, and then made Qin change his mind with his three-inch tongue, abandon Zhao and attack Wei.
Not only that, Zhao Jia also maneuvered between Qi and Yan, and then risked his life and personally entered the capital of Yan to threaten King Yan to accept harsh conditions, and then coerced the two countries to join forces to attack Qin.
Tearing up the agreement with Qin, instigating the six countries to join forces to attack Qin, when the combined troops and horses broke the Qin army, Zhao Jia was even more daring, and commanded the cavalry of Zhao to seize the land of Shenqi of Qin.
The continuous actions have made Zhao Jia, the eldest grandson of King Zhao who has just won the crown, already famous in various countries.
Even Wang Ruobing and Qi Rourou, who have traveled all over the world, have heard of Zhao Jia's deeds many times.
Every time she hears that name, the second daughter will think of Zhao Jia's inspiring speech on the school ground, and she will also think of the pontoon bridge that was burned down.
Although the second daughter still has some mustard in her heart, when she thinks of Zhao Guo's changes over the years, she is almost inseparable from Zhao Jia, and knows that Zhao Jia has paid too much for Zhao Guo.
Slowly, the mustard was slowly dissipating.
After letting go of their psychological baggage, when they heard Zhao Jia's deeds again, they actually felt a strong sense of pride.
They would think, "Look, this is Gongzi Jia, who once fought side by side with me, is the eldest grandson of our Zhao Kingdom, and he will inevitably lead Zhao Kingdom to strength." ”
Previously, they had traveled in South Korea, and when they heard that the Qin State had attacked the land of Shenqi, they remembered the days when they had fought side by side with Zhao Jia, but after all, they still couldn't hold back, and rushed from Korea day and night to the outside of the Turkish army fortress.
"Tujun City, which has been built so grandly and precipitously, is completely an impregnable fortress!"
Wang Ruobing looked up at this fortress, and couldn't help but show surprise on his pretty face.
