The drums of war roared, and the smoke of wolves billowed out.

Zhao Jia's face changed wildly, and the five thousand female pawns in the school field also showed nervousness on their faces.

After Zhao Jia arrived in Guyi, in order to prevent the Yan army from crossing the river, beacon towers were built in various sections suitable for crossing the river.

According to Zhao Jia's instructions, wherever the Yan army crosses the river, the beacon tower at that location will be lit with wolf smoke.

Today, more than a dozen beacon towers are billowing with wolf smoke.

That also means that the Yan army crossed the river at least in more than a dozen ways, wanting to land on the west bank of Koushui.

This kind of situation is the last thing Zhao Jia wants to see.

"Blow the trumpet, reorganize the army, and prepare for war!"

"Captain Sima Shang, quickly assemble and go to the camp first, and prepare to fight to the death!"

In the face of the Yan army's large-scale attack, Zhao Jia did not drag the mud and water in the slightest, led the guards and many generals, and rushed towards the city gate.

With the sound of wolf smoke and war drums, the entire Guyi City suddenly became nervous.

Everyone knew that the Great War had broken out.

On the city wall, Zhao Jia set up a pergola with his hands, staring at the position where the wolf smoke rose, waiting for the herald to come and report the information.

"Qi Yu Gongzi, the Yan army is divided into fifteen roads, each road has about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are signs of crossing the river."

It didn't take long for the heralds to arrive.

Although Zhao Jia had expected it, he still gasped after hearing the herald's report.

If the Yan army does not move, it is like a thunderbolt, and it wants to land on the west bank of Koushui in one go.

Gu Yi only had 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Among them, there were only about 2,000 strong men, most of whom were old people, women, and teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old.

If the Yan army concentrates its forces to cross the river, Zhao Jia can still rely on the geographical advantage to snipe the Yan army.

But now, the Yan army crossed the river in fifteen ways, and Zhao Jia didn't have so many soldiers at all, so he divided his troops to guard.

As long as a certain line of soldiers and horses of the Yan army crosses the Koushui, they will stand on the west bank of the Koushui, and the rest of the soldiers and horses can return to cross the river from that place even if they are blocked.

It can be said that this is a dignified and upright strategy used by relying on the advantage of his own soldiers.

In this way, Zhao Jia's idea of relying on Kou Shui to stop the Yan army will definitely end in failure.

The surging Kou water did not play the slightest role in resisting the huge Yan army.

"Childe, the first camp has been assembled."

Just when Zhao Jia was contemplating his eyebrows and thinking about countermeasures, Sima Shang came in a hurry, and his face was full of worry.

The problems that Zhao Jia can see, Sima Shang can naturally see as well.

"Childe, the Yan army is divided into troops to cross the river, how should I deal with it?"

Zhao Jia stared at Sima Shang and asked rhetorically, "Do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Sima Shang pondered for a long time and said: "Chestnut is cautious in using troops, during this time, in addition to stabilizing the newly acquired land, it is to order the three armies to build ships and siege equipment. ”

"If you don't move, you will be upright."

"There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the combat strength is worrying, if the troops are divided to guard the various river crossing points of the Yan army, I am afraid that they will be broken by the enemy army."

"For the sake of today's plan, I can only abandon the Koushui defense line, transfer all the soldiers and horses back to the city, and defend Guyi."

Sima Shang's suggestion is decent.

Gu Yi has 20,000 horses, and no matter what, he can't all send them out to resist the Yan army, at least 3,000 defenders must be left.

Subtracting 3,000, if the remaining 17,000 people are divided into fifteen roads, there will only be more than 1,000 people blocking the Yan army on each road.

If these horses and horses are all elite and capable warriors of the Zhao State, even if there are only more than 1,000 people, they can rely on Koushui and cause great trouble to the Yan army crossing the river.

It's a pity that the defenders in Guyi City are all old, weak, women and children, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.

If they rely on the city wall to resist the Yan army, they can still make a difference, and if they really want to resist the Yan army on the riverside, they may even be defeated by the Yan army one by one.

"In the face of Gu Yi, who only has 20,000 old and weak people stationed there, Li Bao is still so cautious."

"The future battle situation is still extremely difficult."

At this time, Zhao Jia actually didn't care too much about whether he could hold Kou Shui and Gu Yi, but only cared about the attitude of the chestnut belly and Yan Jiang.

If they were always so steady, even if Lian Po transferred all the main forces of Zhao State, it would be difficult to defeat them.

Only by making the chestnut belly feel that Zhao Guo has no soldiers to fight, and then lightly driving the enemy straight in, can he create an opportunity for Lian Po.

From beginning to end, Zhao Jia remembered his mission.

"This time, in order to paralyze the chestnut belly, I deliberately led 20,000 old and weak people to defend the city, just to tell the Yan army that Zhao Guoqing and Zhuang all died in Changping, and now there is no one available."

"It's just that this war is about the survival of the two countries, and although Li Bei is anxious to make contributions, he doesn't dare to be too aggressive."

"In that case, then I must provoke him."

"As long as you can be old, weak, sick and disabled, and make chestnut belly suffer a big loss in the first battle, you will make the other party lose her sense of proportion."

Zhao Jia has a deep understanding of chestnut belly.

This person's ability to command troops is not strong, and this time he made every effort to promote the attack on Zhao, but also to stabilize his position as a prime minister.

The chestnut belly poured the strength of the Yan State to attack Zhao, and faced 20,000 old and weak Zhao countries.

If he suffers a big loss in the first battle, there will definitely be people pointing fingers behind his back, thinking that Chestnut has no ability to command troops.

At that time, Chestnut must have become angry, and then anxious to get the results of the battle to prove himself.

"That's right, that's it, kill and injure Yan Jun, and then anger the chestnut belly!"

Zhao Jia's eyes became more and more bright, and then said: "The Yan army is attacking in a big way, the momentum is like a rainbow, if you don't give it a head-on blow, when he crosses Kou Shui safely, he will definitely attack Gu Yi." ”

"At that time, Gu Yi may be difficult to hold."

"Only by grasping the fighter first, giving the Yan army a head-on blow, and severely hitting the morale of the Yan army, can we hope to hold Guyi."

When Sima Shang heard this, he was immediately shocked.

He hurriedly said: "The enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, so it is not suitable to fight." ”

"Besides, Gongzi also said that the Yan army is now like a rainbow, and it shouldn't be confronted head-on."

Sima Shang was really a little anxious.

He was even a little worried that the Jia Gongzi in front of him and the Zhao Kuo nine years ago were both very happy and talked about on paper.

At this time, when you go out of the city to meet the enemy, even if you occupy Koushui and the geographical advantage, you will definitely hit the stone with an egg.

Zhao Jia said in a resolute tone: "It is precisely because the enemy is outnumbered and the enemy is strong and I am weak, that Zhao Guo will be terrified in the face of the attack of Yan State. ”

"The first battle with the Yan army is related to the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the two countries, if we wait to give up Kou Shui without a fight, the heart of the Zhao State to resist the Yan State will inevitably be hit hard."

"Only by being brave and diligent, and defeating the strong with the weak in adversity, can we encourage the morale of the Zhao people, and also let the Yan people know that my Zhao country cannot be humiliated."

"This time, we will fight, dare to fight, and we must fight."

Although Sima Shang felt that Zhao Jiazhi's words were somewhat reasonable.

However, no matter how you look at it, at this time, sending troops to snipe the Yan army has no chance of winning.

If you lose, it will greatly damage your morale, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Dispatch to attack, if you hit the stone with an egg, I hope that the son will think twice."

Sima Shang admonished bitterly, but Zhao Jia had already made up his mind, no matter how the other party advised, it was to no avail.
