Defend first, and then annihilate the enemy?

Zhao Chang heard this and nodded silently.

Zhao Tuo was injured, but his thoughts were still very clear.

The garrison of Guankou City was weak and exposed to the front of the Qin army, and in doing so, when the King of Qin found a way to cross the river, it was equivalent to giving up Guankou City.

When Zhao Chang got up to leave, Zhao Tuo asked: "King Qin, how did King Qin arrive, how did he pass through the two fortresses?" Allow... Xu Cangyu, Li... What about Li Zongying? ”

Relying on the mountains in the south, it took several years of painstaking efforts and a lot of financial resources to build two fortresses in Linzhang and Jingu.

For a long time, Zhao Tuo regarded the two fortresses and the Guankou River as an insurmountable gap.

However, he did not defend against the king of Qin, and let his troops approach the north bank of the Guankou River.

Zhao Chang's face was hesitant and hesitant.

The Linzhang fortress changed hands, and he never reported it to his father.

After all, whether it was his father's idea to support Yuan Ci in alliance with Sun Ming laid a hidden danger for the disaster in the future.

If you tell him that it will cause his father to be angry, it will not be a good thing if it makes him angry and aggravates his injuries.

After a pause, Zhao Chang deliberately diverted the topic: "Father, the child got the news that the king of Qin allowed the elite of the northern vassal states to enter the Dakang campaign, and the situation in Dakang has changed dramatically, which may implicate the four states of Jingxiang. ”

"Talk about the problem of two fortresses."

Zhao Tuo seems to have eaten the scales and has an iron heart, he doesn't understand Linzhang, and he vows not to give up on the problems faced by Jingu and Jingu.

The fact that his body is injured and sick in bed does not mean that his brain is rusty.

Qi Chu Yan Han Zhao Wei Qin, in addition to the Chu army, Qi Yan Han Zhao Wei Qin army rarely had a sailor, invaded Dakang, how can it help Jingxiang four states.

On the land route, hold Linzhang and Jingu, control Anzhou and Guankou City by water, no matter how many troops come from the north, they don't want to threaten the four states of Jingxiang.

Besides, Changchuan City is the core of the four states of Jingxiang, and he is the master of the four states of Jingxiang.

What's more, didn't the Qin army also achieve a great victory?

Jing Xiang's army occupies the right time and place, and this battle will be won or lost, and he will not leave easily until there is no result.

Unable to refuse Zhao Tuo's question, Zhao Chang said bitterly: "When the second brother went to the north, it was night, and the Jiangnan infantry in the Linzhang fortress temporarily mutinied, severely injured General Xu, and occupied the fortress. Not long ago, the king of Qin waved his army to the south, and the Jiangnan infantry in the Linzhang fortress burned the fortress and fled.

At present, the second brother and General Xu, General Li, were besieged in the Jingu Fortress by Lu Linxuan's army. ”

"What?"

Zhao Tuo snorted, and his face suddenly turned red.

Ahem!

Clenched his fists and coughed, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Father..."

The north bank of the Guankou River.

Ji Xuanling, Shen Tuxiu, and Yu Changxiong led the army to come here for nearly four days, and Lu Linxuan, Lu Kang's uncle and nephew, commanded the Tiger Ben Army to launch several waves of attacks on the Jingu fortress.

Facing the surging water of the Guankou River, Ji Xuanling and they could only look at the ocean and sigh.

Before the arrival of the Qin army, the garrison of Guankou City destroyed the pontoon bridge on the river, and many sailors drove warships to wander on the river.

Wang Wei led reinforcements to arrive, and patrols on the river were intensified.

Qin Jun got up early in the morning and had a late meeting.

The rolling river water is like a moat, blocking the way of the Qin army.

Looking at the Guankou City on the other side of the river, the Qin army, who was eager to fight, was like a tiger that couldn't be caught, sad and annoying.

Otherwise, the Qin army crossed the Guankou River on a tiger horse and swept the defenders in Guankou City as soon as possible.

In the past few days, Ji Xuanling had to send Di Zhongkang to lead his troops to repair the pontoon bridge on the Guankou River, and when the pontoon bridge could be connected to the other side, the Qin army could still kill it.

It's a pity that Wang Wei led the troops to destroy, and the Qin army's progress was very slow, far from meeting Ji Xuanling's requirements.

On the high ground on the riverbank, Ji Xuanling raised his eyes and looked out, his heart was like a cat's claw.

At this time, Gao Zongli hurriedly came and reported: "Your Majesty, General Xing is here from Hangu Pass. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xuanling was overjoyed, among the generals of the Qin army, only Xing Buying was good at fighting water battles, and this time Xing Buying came, maybe he had a good idea.

Xing Buying stepped forward and bowed.

Ji Xuanling looked at the rolling river in front of him, grabbed Xing Buying's arm, and said a little anxiously: "General Xing, the Qin army has stopped in Jiangbei for a few days, does the general have a good plan to break the enemy?" ”

Xing Buying asked, "I heard that the king has collected all the warships on the north bank of the Guankou River and wants to send the Qin army to forcibly cross the river?" ”

"That's right, there's a plan." Ji Xuanling said, his tone was annoyed, and said: "The Qin army has no experience in water warfare, and the seasickness phenomenon is very serious!" ”

Xing Buying nodded, and said very approvingly: "The king is right, if the Qin army is forced to cross the river, it will easily become a live target for the Jingzhou navy, and if the river is crossed, it is still necessary to build a pontoon bridge." ”

Pontoon?

Ji Xuanling was slightly disappointed, Di Zhongkang led the troops to rush to build overtime, but the Jingzhou Navy Division was seriously damaged, raised his hand to the river and said: "General, please look, the Jingzhou Navy Division patrols, and General Di suffers deeply." ”

Xing Buying patted his thigh and said urgently: "Your Majesty, there are sailors patrolling the nearby river, why don't you go both ways and build pontoon bridges in other areas?" ”

Bright plank road, dark Chen Cang?

"Bu Ying, do you mean to let General Zhong Kang paralyze the sailors on the river and choose to build a bridge far away from Guan Kou City?" Ji Xuanling vaguely understood, anxiously asking.

"That's right!" Xing Buying's head was bowed.

"Zong Li, beat the drums and gather the generals." Ji Xuanling suddenly realized that he was not wasting time.

In the Wang tent, Jia asked, Xu Wenda, Shen Tuxiu, Gai Wenguang, Yu Changxiong, Gao Zongli, Mu Cangchi and other generals gathered.

Hearing that Ji Xuanling said Xing Buying's proposal, they were dumbfounded.

Xu Wenda, Jia asked, I had similar thoughts before, but the Jingzhou Navy Division patrolled the river, no matter where the pontoon bridge was built on the Guankou River, it was easy to be detected by the other party.

In the end, all the previous efforts were wasted and the achievements fell short.

"Your Majesty, the Guankou River is not as vast as the Xiangjiang River, and it is not easy to build a pontoon bridge on the river, if you want to build a pontoon bridge, how to avoid the warship patrol of the Jingzhou Navy Division on the river?" Xu Wenda said he did not support the proposal to repair the bridge.

Crossing the river was crucial for the Qin army, and they could not afford to lose too many elites on the river.

"Even if General Xing finds a suitable place to build a pontoon bridge, it will take time to avoid the eyes and ears of the Jingzhou army!" Jia asked.

Ji Xuanling's face was serious, and he asked: "General Xing, how long should I wait to build a ten-car wide pontoon bridge?" ”

"Ten days."

Xing Buying said with confidence!

"Ten days, too long." Beyond Ji Xuanling's expectations.

"That's right, ten days is indeed too long, and it's easy to delay the fighters!" Xing Buying said: "The last general suggested that a five-car wide pontoon bridge be built within three or five days, and it will be successful immediately." ”

"Okay, this king will give five days, and the pontoon bridge must be built." Ji Xuanling admonished.

After that, he stared sideways at Di Zhongkang and said: "Zhong Kang, stop building the arrow pontoon bridge, choose a hidden place with General Yu, and train sailors with the help of the collected warships, Shen Tuxiu, you lead the Flying Bear Army to fish and catch shrimp on the north shore." ”
