By the time Wang Ling led his army to Gaoping, the war had already ended. Wang Ling never expected that Wang Ye, with 2,000 soldiers, not only killed Zhao Guopi's generals, but also captured Gaoping Fortress. When Wang Ye saw that Wang Ling was coming, he led the remaining soldiers to greet him and said, "The last general, welcome the five doctors." ”

Wang Ling commended: "Wang Ye, in this battle, you fought beautifully, and played the majesty of my Great Qin. ”

Wang Ye did not take credit, and said humbly: "It is not my work, but the soldiers' lives, and our country's national fortune is prosperous, so that we can achieve a great victory." ”

"Okay." Wang Ling looked at the generals and said, "When the victory is great, I will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, five doctors." ”

Wang Ye said: "Five doctors, the combat power of Zhao State is so weak. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and make persistent efforts to raise the prestige of our Great Qin. ”

The generals said loudly: "We are willing to lead the army forward, attack the Zhao army, and raise the prestige of my Great Qin." ”

Wang Ling saw that Zhao Guo was losing and retreating, and his combat strength was so unbearable, he didn't take Zhao Jun in his eyes, and said loudly: "Okay." We will make another war exploit and raise the prestige of our Great Qin. ”

Wang Ye asked for war and said: "Please give the order of the five doctors and start a war with Zhao." ”

The generals also said: "Please give the order of the five doctors and start a war with Zhao." ”

Wang Ling's blood surged, looked at the generals, and asked, "Everyone, how to fight this battle." ”

Wang Ye took the lead and said: "I am willing to lead 5,000 troops, take advantage of the defeat of the Zhao army, drive straight in, and fight a decisive battle with the Zhao State." ”

"Although Zhao was defeated, it had at least 200,000 troops. There are less than 30,000 soldiers around us, how can we drive straight into the decisive battle with Zhao. Wang Ling saw that the generals' faces were unwilling, and reminded: "Everyone, I am not cowardly, and I dare not start a full-scale war with Zhao. Don't forget, our opponent is the veteran Lian Po of Zhao. That's a person with the same name as Wu Anjun. ”

Wang Ye remembered what Wang Yi said before the war, and he didn't dare to be careless, "What the five doctors said is very true, I am too carried away. I forgot that Zhao Jiang was incorruptible. ”

When the generals saw Wang Ling and Wang Ye, they were afraid of the veteran of Zhao State, Lian Po, and did not speak.

Wang Ling saw that the generals were not carried away by the short-term victory, and said: "Gaoping is lost, and the Zhao army will definitely come to take it." When the army led by the general has not arrived, we cannot rush into battle. ”

The generals said in unison: "Wow." ”

Wang Ling spread out the map of Kanyu, looked at the mountains and landforms of Laomaling, and said: "Qinshui to Gaoping Fortress, north and south as long as eighty miles. The peaks on both sides of the ravine, and a small number of Zhao troops. If we don't get rid of it, it will be harmful to our army. ”

Wang Ling looked at the generals and shouted, "Wang Ye listens to the order." ”

Wang Ye said: "The last general." ”

Wang Ling pointed to a high ground on the map and ordered: "You lead three thousand soldiers to uproot the Zhao army here." ”

"Whoa."

Wang Ling pointed to a commanding height, and said, "Wang He." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead 3,000 soldiers to uproot the Zhao army here."

"Whoa."

Wang Ling faced the generals and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we must guard Gaoping and remove hidden dangers when the generals arrive. ”

The generals shouted in unison: "We will obey the general's orders." ”

Wang Yi led the army forward, but he had to wait for a scout to report. In the first battle, he not only killed General Zhao Guo, but also captured Gaoping Fortress. Lao Maling was completely in the hands of the Qin State.

Wang Di got this result and said excitedly: "God help me Daqin." ”

Seeing that Lao Maling was in his own hands, Wang Yi did not prevent any mistakes, and said loudly: "Go to Gaoping quickly." ”

Wang Yi led the main force of the army from the Qinshui River Valley to Gaoping, and saw that the road was difficult to walk, the mountains were steep, and the valley could only pass through a horse-drawn carriage. This place is like a natural barrier. Seeing that it was easy, Wang Yi occupied Lao Maling, and also felt that Zhao Jianglian was quite a soldier, but that's it.

Wang Ji arrived in Gaoping, and Wang Ling and Wang Ye led their troops to greet him. Wang Yu entered the pass, faced the generals, and praised: "In this battle, you fought too well. ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the thunder of war drums and the shouts of killing. After a while, a scout came anxiously and said, "General, the Zhao army is coming to attack." ”

Wang Di faced the generals and asked, "Everyone, what should the Zhao army do when they come to attack." ”

The generals said in unison: "Fight." ”

"Okay." Seeing that the Zhao army was coming to attack, Wang Yi did not defend it, so he chose to take the initiative to attack, and said in a loud voice: "Wang Ling, you lead 30,000 soldiers and take the initiative to attack." ”

Wang Ling saw that Wang Ji did not take a defensive posture, so he chose to take the initiative to attack, and said loudly: "Huh." ”

Wang Yi said again: "In this battle, we will win again." The morale of the Zhao army will be hit hard. Defeating Zhao and taking Changping is just around the corner. ”

Wang Ling bowed and saluted: "The last general, live up to the general's mission." ”

It is said that Lian Po ordered General Pi to lead 5,000 soldiers to go first, garrison Gaoping Fortress, and occupy the favorable terrain of Laomaling to intercept the Qin army. Subsequently, he asked Jin Yan to lead a thousand soldiers to escort grain and grass to Gaoping Fortress.

Lian Po led the army, just crossed the Danshui, and walked ten miles forward. At this time, the scout came in a hurry, and handed the letter with both hands, "Meet, General Lian." ”

Lian Po took the battle report in the scout's hand, read it, handed it to Pingyuanjun, and laughed: "Pingyuanjun, God really helps me." ”

Pingyuanjun read the contents of the book and said with great joy: "Great. We took Lao Ma Ling. ”

Lian Po got this letter, and when he saw that Lao Maling was in his hands, his uneasy heart finally landed. Lian Po let out a long breath and said, "Let's take Laomaling and occupy the Qinshui Zhigaoping Fortress." We fought against the Qin army, attacking and retreating. The initiative on the battlefield will be in our hands. ”

"Really, God help me." Pingyuan Jun said happily: "With Lao Maling, this natural barrier. The attack on Qin and the restoration of Xinjiang are just around the corner. ”

"Pingyuan-kun is right." Lian Po said: "With this natural barrier, the Qin army has nothing to fear. ”

Lian Po walked forward for three miles, but saw Gongshu Shen coming and asked, "General Gongshu, aren't you in Gaoping Fortress to assist in the defense. How did it come here? ”

Uncle Gong said: "Old General Lian, I have something to tell you." ”

When Lian Po heard this, a bad feeling welled up in his heart, and he asked, "General Gongsun, please speak." ”

Gongshu Shen replied truthfully: "We occupied Gaoping Fortress, and also divided our troops to occupy the terrain of Laomaling. However, General Ji did not listen to our dissuasion, and insisted on going out of Gaoping Fortress to survey the terrain. ”

"What did you say?" Fear surged in Lian Po's heart, "How can he make decisions without taking matters into his own hands and not carrying out my orders." ”

Seeing that Lian Po's expression changed abruptly, Ping Yuan Jun interjected: "General Gongshu, how can you not stop it." ”

Uncle Gong applied for the crime and said: "The last general, incompetent." ”

Lian Po also knew the character of this general, and he didn't blame Gongshu Shen, and said warmly: "I don't blame you for this matter." ”

Xu Lian saw that Lian Po's expression changed greatly, and his heart was also uneasy, and asked, "Old General Lian, what happened." ”

"I ordered the plant to be stationed in Gaoping Fortress and occupy the terrain of Laomaling. Eggplant, don't listen to me. Lian Po said with a faint uneasiness in his heart: "I'm worried that Gaoping Fortress is lost." ”

As soon as Lian Po's words fell, a scout came in a hurry and said in a loud voice: "Old General Lian, urgent military situation." ”

Lian Po took the letter, and when he saw it, his face changed greatly, "Pingyuanjun, we lost Gaoping Fortress, and Laomaling was also occupied by the Qin army. ”

"What. Gaoping Fortress and Laomaling were occupied by the Qin army. "When Pingyuanjun saw such a big thing, Lian Po could still speak calmly.

Lian Po nodded, and said: "Our army and the Qin army fought on the west side of Laomaling, and our army was defeated. The Qin army took advantage of the situation and conquered the Gaoping fortress and occupied Laomaling. ”

"Where's that?"

"He was beheaded by the Qin army, and his uncle Duan, Jin Yan and other generals died in battle." Lian Po handed over the letter.

"Defeated, defeated." Pingyuanjun read the letter and had to believe that this was the truth.

"We must not let Gaoping Fortress fall into the hands of the Qin State. Otherwise, we will only be beaten passively. Lian Po faced Captain Shi beside him and ordered: "You quickly lead 20,000 soldiers to recapture Gaoping Fortress." ”

Seeing that the war had not officially begun, Pingyuan Jun not only lost Gaoping Fortress and Lao Maling, but also lost one general, two captains and two captains. In the face of such a big defeat, Lian Po can still be calm and admire him.

Pingyuan Jun didn't know that Lian Po's face was calm, but his heart was full of uneasiness. However, Lian Po knows very well that as the main general, he is the backbone of the three armies, so naturally he cannot be happy. Otherwise, it will shake the morale of the three armies.

Lian Po didn't know that losing the first battle would seriously hit the morale of the three armies. If you are not careful, the myth of the invincibility of the Qin army will spread among the army.

Seeing that Lian Po didn't speak, Pingyuan Jun asked, "Old General Lian, can we still recapture Gaoping Fortress?" ”

Lian Po let out a long breath and said uneasily: "The battle in Gaoping is unknown, and I don't know how many troops the Qin army has. Gaoping Fortress, whether it can be recaptured or not, I am not sure. ”

When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he thought of the worst-case scenario and asked, "What if we can't take back Lao Maling." ”

Lian Po said: "Don't hide it from Pingyuanjun, the war is not good for us." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Old General Lian, you have something to say." ”

Lian Po said: "The Qin army occupies Lao Maling, which is condescending and has an overwhelming advantage over us. We're going to face a global collapse. ”

"Global crash?" Hearing this, Pingyuan Jun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Old General Lian, the battle situation is really so bad. ”

"The battle is worse than I said." Lian Po breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Once, Lao Maling is lost, we have no danger to defend." The Qin army is in full swing, and our army is in danger. ”

Pingyuan Jun was worried when he saw Lian, presumably because the battle situation was indeed unfavorable, and asked, "Old General Lian, what should we do." ”

Lian Po said: "Pingyuan-kun, we have to prepare for the worst. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "In the face of an unfavorable war situation, General Lian, how do you plan to deal with it." ”

"I lost the first battle, and I lost Lao Maling. The situation is not in our favor. We can't be proactive. ”

"What General Lian means is to defend as an offense."

"I originally wanted to take Lao Maling, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qin army, and the battle was decided. However, the defeat in the first battle caused great losses to our army, which led to low morale of the three armies. People count, it's better to count than heaven! Lian Po sighed, and said: "We are defeated, defeated again, and the army's morale is unstable." At present, we can only take defense as an attack, hold our positions, and stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "Old General Lian is reasonable. ”

"Sima Lang." Lian Po was not sure to recapture Laomaling, so in order to avoid the battle from falling into passivity, he could only deploy in advance, "You lead 10,000 soldiers to Eryan City." I've given you the task of holding on for two months. ”

Sima Lang asked, "The last general, I didn't understand. General Lian asked me to hold on to Eryan City for two months. ”

Lian Po said: "Not bad. ”

Sima Lang said: "Old General Lian, why did you choose to hold on, instead of choosing to attack. ”

"The situation is not in our favor. Lao Maling, we can't take it back. When the morale of the Qin army is greatly increased, it will launch a frantic attack. If we can't resist it, the whole army will collapse. Lian Po asked: "If you can intercept the Qin army for two months in Eryan City." I will be able to stabilize the morale of the army and not be defeated by the Qin army in a battle. ”

"The last general, I will not disappoint the old general Lian Po, and I will definitely hold on to Eryan City for two months and not let the Qin army move forward."

"Okay." Lian Po said: "Sima Lang, please." ”

Sima Lang received the order and ordered the soldiers to leave.

Lian Po said again: "Xu Lian." ”

"The end will be."

"You lead an army of 20,000 and garrison the Light Wolf City. You're going to buy me a month. ”

Xu Lian saw that Lian Po began to lay out the defense, although he didn't know what he meant, he still received the order: "The last general, I will not disgrace my mission." ”
