Chapter 41: The Siege
After receiving Zhao Kuo's summons, all the generals who did not arrange tasks gathered in his Chinese army tent.
Seeing Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the seat without saying a word, Wei Chen took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence in the camp tent: "General, this time the Qin people are menacing, I just took a look at the battle viewing pavilion, so the canyon in the west of the pass has been completely covered with the Qin people, and it seems that we are going to swear to take our Danzhuling defense line." ”
Zhao Kuo was unmoved by Qin Jun's movements, he tapped on the table and looked at Wei Chen and the others and asked, "Is the stone rolling wood already prepared?" ”
Zhao Kang, who was in charge of the production of the equipment, stood up and said confidently: "General rest assured, at this moment, the side of the Great Wall of Stone is full of made rolling wood stones, since the general is determined to defend the Danzhuling defense line, we naturally dare not delay for a moment, and we are in a hurry to make it all day." ”
"Okay, defend the Danzhuling defense line, and you should be credited." Zhao Kuo praised Zhao Kang, and then said to Wei Chen, "Wei Chen, how many soldiers are left in the baggage battalion?" ”
Although he didn't know why Zhao Kuo suddenly asked this, Wei Chen still replied: "Counting the soldiers brought over before, plus the new recruits added to the commanders of the generals, there are now more than 50,000 people in the baggage battalion, all of which are under the command of Huayang Jun Feng Ting." ”
Although Feng Ting did not choose to accept the title of Huayangjun of Zhao State, after all, the will of King Zhao Xiaocheng had been issued, even if Feng Ting, who disdained to bring victory to Zhao State, he needed to maintain respect for him on the surface.
"Feng Ting? Forget it, talking about this person makes people unhappy. There are 80,000 horses guarding the saddle gully, and there are 80,000 horses of Peng Han and Qian Jian in Changping Pass, Wei Chen, do you think so many people can ensure that the two places are safe? ”
Wei Chen thought for a moment and answered Zhao Kuo's question: "General, the terrain in these two places is similar to the terrain outside the old pass, and it is impossible for the Qin army to deploy all of them even if they invest heavy troops. Are there these people, Xi Ying, Peng Han and others should be able to ensure that the two places are safe! ”
Zhao Kuo was really about to speak, the drumming of the Qin State outside the gate resounded through the world and was deafening, Zhao Kuo sighed: "The generals should go to the battle pavilion with me, I want to see what tricks the Qin people play this time." ”
Zhao Kuo led everyone to the high viewing pavilion, and at this time, the Qin army outside the old pass had already lined up their military formations and was preparing to attack the old pass.
In the middle of the canyon of the Qin people everywhere, a Wangzi banner stood well, this time Bai Qi still did not appear, and still let Wang Qi lead the troops to attack the defense line of Zhao Guodan and Zhuling.
Zhao Kuo frowned, it stands to reason that Zhao Jun has already had contact with Bai Qi outside Changping Pass, and Bai Qi is such an arrogant person who still hasn't shown up, which is completely contrary to common sense.
Zhao Kuo pointed to the Wang Zijing banner and said to Wei Chen on the side: "What trick did you say Bai Qi was doing this time, why did he still send Wang Qi to attack?" ”
Wei Chen smiled, didn't take Zhao Kuo's question to heart, and said casually: "Didn't the general say that Bai Qi intended to use Wang Qi's deception and defeat to induce our army to go deep and encircle and annihilate it in one fell swoop?" Maybe this time Bai Qi still got the idea. ”
Zhao Kuo shook his head and disagreed with Wei Chen's answer: "At this time and that time, Bai Qi thought that the king had fallen for their countermeasures, and it was expected that after I replaced General Lian Po, I would definitely look for a fighter to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army." ”
"At the beginning, Wang Yi deceived and defeated our army several times, and he never crossed the thunder pool. Therefore, Bai Qi will quietly attack Changping Pass, which proves that Bai Qi thinks that the previous plan has gone bankrupt. It stands to reason that he shouldn't let Wang Yi choose to cheat again, what is this old fox thinking in his heart? ”
Wei Chen listened to Zhao Kuo's analysis, and also felt that he was taking it for granted. Who is on the other side, it is Wu Anjun Bai Qi, a person who can stop children crying at night when he mentions the name of Bai Qi in Han, Wei, and Chu, how can he use the same strategy again and again?
Thinking of this, Wei Chen couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuo, and asked cautiously: "Then according to what the general has seen, what tricks is Bai Qi going to play?" ”
Listening to Wei Chen's question, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "If I could know Bai Qi's thoughts, now without saying a word, immediately switch on and off to meet the enemy, so that he doesn't even recognize his mother." However, I couldn't guess Bai Qi's idea after all, so I could only rely on sticking to this method to cope with all changes. ”
Zhao Kuo's words can be regarded as a word to wake up the person in the dream, and Wei Chen understood what Zhao Kuo meant when he mentioned Changping Pass and Saddle Gully in the Chinese army's big tent just now. As long as he can ensure that the Ancient Pass, Changping Pass, and Saddle Gully are always in the hands of Zhao Guo, no matter how clever Ren Baiqi is, he can't break through this trench-like three-point line, after all, he can't give wings to every Qin person.
"The general is smart, no wonder the first thing the general did was to let Xi Ying lead 50,000 horses to the saddle gully, and later after Changping Pass was attacked by a sneak attack, he added 30,000 foot soldiers to him again, just for this!"
Looking at Wei Chen's admiring eyes, Zhao Kuo's face did not show any joy.
The reason why he arranged it this way was just because he knew the follow-up context of the Battle of Changping, and it was not a subtle arrangement.
He pointed to the Qin army, who was repelled by Zhao Jun's stone rolling wood again and again, and said: "The Qin people are really not afraid of death, if it weren't for this Danzhu Ridge, they really couldn't resist the Qin people's mad dog-like attack." ”
As soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, the Wangzi banner in the center of the Qin army was erected high, and the Qin army immediately burst out with a momentum that was even more fierce than just now, and the Qin crossbow phalanx in the rear finally included Guguan in its attack range.
However, this also gave Zhao Jun a chance, just now their crossbow arrows were all shot at the foot soldiers, and at this time, the Qin State crossbow phalanx also entered the range of their attacks, so what else is there to be polite.
After all, Zhao Jun occupies a high position, and it is relatively easy for crossbowmen to shoot. Compared with the back-attack of the crossbowmen of the Qin State, of course, they can obtain greater benefits.
For a while, the shouts and killings of the two armies on both sides of the Baili Stone Great Wall resounded all over the world, and the foot of Danzhuling was already bleeding like a river.
Zhao Kuo looked at the soldiers of Zhao State who had begun to show fatigue, but on the other hand, the Qin people were still surging up like a tide. He shook his head and began to issue orders: "Wei Chen, you quickly take your men and horses to the Great Wall of Stone to replace Lu Fang, and let Lu Fang's men and horses also rest, since the people of Qin want to play wheel warfare, then we will accompany them to play to the end!" ”
Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry at all, after all, if the other party wanted to climb the Danzhu Ridge, he would have to pay a huge price. Wang Di and Lian Po have been holding each other in Danzhuling for several months, haven't they realized that a strong attack will not solve the problem?
A sneer of disdain flashed at the corner of Zhao Kuo's mouth, I really don't know how Lao Lian was defeated by this kind of person!
