The orchestra pit holds a candle in one hand and moves on the map in front of him with the other. To be honest, Zhongshan knows a lot about Yan Guo, and he is no less than Zhao Guo, so Lechi does have some experience in using troops against Yan Guo. However, after all, it is not your own place, and it still needs a familiar process. What's more, Zhao Jun is coming now, although he already knows how to use these things in the sand table, and there is no shortage of masters in the army who sketch the sand table, but this belongs to the secret of Zhao State, and it is not heard of for the time being. It is not used, and everything needs to be inspired by the map.

There are not many things that annoy him, the first thing is how to attack Jidu.

Yes, he kept saying that he would attack Jidu first, but how to attack, he only had a plan, and if this plan was to be implemented, it must be refined step by step. This refinement is precisely the most difficult.

First of all, Xiadu is not far from Jidu, and there is only one Zhuo County in the middle to fight for. With the current situation of the Zhao Yan coalition army, if you want to attack Jidu, you must first occupy Zhuoxian as a stronghold, and further improve your logistics support route and retreat, so as to achieve victory in the attack and defense of Jidu.

Second, since Jidu is the most important capital of Yan State, its defense settings must be very perfect, it is impossible to capture it in the short term, and in the long run, it is easy to be attacked by other armies of Qi State, so the control of this time and the deployment of the army are very important. Fortunately, now, counting the soldiers who have defected to Ji in the Yan Kingdom in the past few days, the total number of soldiers is about 120,000, and it can be regarded as a battle.

Third, the defense of the lower capital, to put it mildly, even if this battle is lost, the lower capital cannot be lost. Xiadu is now not only the only channel for Zhao to contact Yan, but also an important material reserve base for the Yan-Zhao coalition army, even if Zhuo County is occupied and the lower capital is lost, the Yan-Zhao coalition army will hope to be wiped out, and can only be gradually eroded by the Qi State.

Things seem to be clear now. Either the coalition army captured Jidu and drove the Qi army, or the Qi army captured Yi County and the coalition army was destroyed. Either way, this battle will determine the next fate of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Qi, and this is not to be careless.

He rubbed his eyes, put down the lamp, opened the door and walked out of the hall, where the soldiers on patrol saluted when they saw him, and he just nodded and scattered around the courtyard. The cold wind of the Yan Kingdom blew, and even at night, it was cold. This point is somewhat similar to Lingshou in Zhongshan, but Lingshou is on the high side, and in comparison, it is still cooler than the next place.

Thinking of Lingshou, he was a little sad. To tell the truth, his feelings for Zhongshan are very complicated, he and his family thrive there, the descendants of Leyang, speaking of which prince has to pay three respects, but in Zhongshan, because it has caused the destruction of Zhongshan, although there are many talents, but it has always been rare to be courteous in Zhongshan. Even after he became a prime minister, he never let those clan nobles look up to it, but sneered. This time I left Zhongshan, and I had to do it, but my heart was like ashes.

When he arrived in Zhao State, although King Zhao has always been courteous, this time he let himself lead the troops to the expedition and awarded important tasks, but in Le Chi's heart, he has never been able to pass the threshold, which is Le Yi. He admitted that he didn't have the amazing talent of Le Yi, but the kind of groveling in Zhongshan, and the humility that he was still suppressed by his own brothers in Zhao State, made him very dissatisfied. He wasn't jealous of Le Yi, he just wanted to prove that in addition to Le Yi, Zhao Guo also had a person named Le Chi.

Now, the opportunity has come, to become famous in a fight, or to die in a fight, it is in his hands, and he can only choose the former.

"Pang Zi, you said that at this moment, the army is preparing to attack Zhuoxian, but the general ordered you and I to lead your troops to find out the news near this military capital mountain. Doesn't this make us watch others do their deeds? It's also so unfair. ”

Pang Xuan actually doesn't like others to call him "Pang Zi", it always sounds like a fat man's "nickname". But Ju Xin has been with him for a long time, so he doesn't care about these.

"When my father is at home, he often chatters. When the soldiers are outside, they listen to the words of the generals, abide by the orders of the generals, and must not disobey. Pang Xuan smiled bitterly, "You say, what kind of fairness can be here?" ”

"Alas, it's really hard, I didn't expect to come here, and I can only watch others make meritorious contributions, which is really unpleasant. It's better to follow General Pang to attack Zhongshan, and he must have been promoted to the second soldier. The drama Xin said resentfully.

Pang Xuan saw him like this, knowing that his brother had a humble family since he was a child, and finally entered the Baijin Camp, he fought bravely, and he was a little smart, so he naturally wanted to continue to rise to the top and become a person of the people completely, because he did not hate the character of chasing fame and fortune like Ji Xin.

"Brother doesn't have to worry about Zhuo County, Zhuo County is just a chess piece, dispensable, and the most important thing is Jidu. The old general has been on the battlefield for a long time, this kind of overall situation is still there, if he only focuses on Zhuoxian, then the battle of Jidu is a foregone conclusion. I think that the old general sent us out to fight the idea of thistle. ”

"Thistle?" He said in surprise, but saw Pang Xuan quickly wave his hand, signaling him not to shout. Only then did he remember that this time it was not just him and Pang Xuan who came out, but there were more than 100 cavalrymen behind him. He hurriedly ordered everyone to rest on the spot and set off later. Only then did he sit down with Pang Xuan and analyze the orchestra pit's thinking.

"Look, this is Xiadu, here is Jidu, and in the middle is Zhuoxian." Pang Xuan found a branch from the tree next to him, and the two sat on the ground, their eyes fixed on the simple map that Pang Xuan had just drawn on the ground. This is also the first time that Pang Xuan has conducted military exercises with others, and he is really nervous.

"The distance between the capitals of thistle is not more than a hundred miles. Whoever plans this siege battle must first Zhuoxian and then Jidu, which cannot be changed. Not to mention that the opposite is Kuang Zhang, the general of Qi State, who is an ordinary general who also knows how to deal with it. The difference is only in the effect in actual command. ”

"Yes, if you want to win the battle of Jidu, the general has little chance of defeating Kuang Zhang with the strength in his hand, so he must not make a chance to catch Kuang Zhang off guard. That's why, the general sent us to this place to survey the terrain, and the general probably wanted to go to the military capital and enter the thistle capital from here. ”

The military capital is one of the eight Taihang mountains, which is the dividing line between Taihang Mountain and Yan Mountain, and is also an important passage for the north of Jidu to the grassland. Moreover, it was an important battlefield for the Yan and Hu people, but the most famous is the legend that the battle of Hanquan between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor was fought near this place.

The military capital is sandwiched between two mountains, facing a huge stream, and the cliffs are precipitous, which is known as the ultimate danger. Under it, the valley is a rock, the lofty cliff, the mountain worm layer is deep, the forest barrier is dangerous, the road only allows a bicycle to pass, the heavy post is rebuilt, it is really a mountain shape to win the place.

Due to such a precipitous geographical situation in the military capital, it has always been an important garrison place of the Yan State. The Yan State already had a military advantage over the Hu people, so it was that it had not built a gate city here, only a camp. In this case, it is rare to let the orchestra pit think about it. This place is full of mountains and mountains, the terrain is complex, in the end it is not feasible, the music pit can only send people to explore first, if it is feasible, this place will not become a wonderful place to attack the thistle capital. This is why there is such an errand as Pang Xuan's brothers.

"I think this army is in the capital, although it is known as a desperate danger, one man is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open, but if you want to say that there are really no shortcomings, it may not be." Standing on the top of the mountain beam, Pang Xuan looked at the situation in the military capital and said to the drama Xin beside him.

Ju Xin overlooked the deep valley at his feet, a little dizzy, kicked down a stone slightly, and heard the sound of water for a long time, which can be seen how high and lofty this place is. "What's the downside?"

"It's that he's too short."

Ji Xin was slightly stunned, and then nodded. The military capital is indeed shallow in depth, and once it breaks through, the army can monopolize it, while the defenders are powerless to stop it. He took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and just saw a camp of Qi State, built next to a stream, with clear camps inside and soldiers outside.

"It should be the camp of the Qi army." Ju Xin said.

"Yes, let's go down the mountain for now, wait until it gets dark, get closer and take a closer look, and then quietly leave."

"Okay."

After descending the mountain, Pang Xuan ordered everyone to rest immediately, arrange patrol sentries, take turns to patrol, and then approach the camp to observe when the time comes. He and Juxin were also divided into two groups, patrolling and resting respectively, preparing for the upcoming camp exploration in the evening.

Before the hour came, everyone began to eat. Then along the river embankment, he quietly touched the Qi army camp. Tracing a map at any time is the most basic military skill of every soldier of Zhao State, and it is also a skill that every scout must master, and Pang Xuan is naturally no exception.

"The water depth of the stream is about one foot, the width is one zhang, and the narrowest part of the two walls is about three zhang, which is feasible for bicycles."

"The banks of the stream are densely covered with pebbles, and there is a sound, but the sound of the water is vigorous, or it can be hidden."

"As soon as the hour passed, there were no patrol sentries in sight."

As the two spoke, someone recorded it later, and they quickly described the place as a rough sketch.

"The camp lives on the north bank of the stream, there are horses at the gate, no traps are found, and the Qi army enters and exits freely. There are two watchtowers, one for each archer. There were no horses in the camp, and the main tent was located in the center, and the tent was distributed around it, and the arches were guarded in it. ”

A piece of information was quickly recorded, and this kind of information will be an important basis for whether this plan can be used, and it is also the main task of Pang Xuan and others this time.

"Pang Zi, do you want to get closer?"

"No need" Pang Xuan observed carefully for a while, and said to Ji Xin behind him, "Let's go." ”

On the way back, Ji Xin looked at Pang Xuan and seemed to be depressed about something, so he couldn't help but ask. "Pang Zi, you seem to have something on your mind?"

"Not really." He thought about it, but decided to say to Ji Xin: "When I was observing just now, I suddenly thought of a question, so I was a little confused. ”

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it. ”

Pang Xuan hesitated for a moment, "Do you think the general is more talented than Kuang Zhang?" ”

"This..."Ji Xin looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he whispered: "Needless to say, naturally Kuang Zhang is much more powerful than the general." "Ju Xin has always been a little troubled about the identity of the orchestra pit, thinking that the orchestra chi couldn't get along in Zhongshan, so he ran to Zhao Guolai, but in fact, he has no ability to bale a straw bag.

"Awesome is naturally awesome, and it is said that it is a lot more powerful, but it may not be." Pang Xuan said that these are all things that Pang Cong once said in the future, and Pang Cong's evaluation of the orchestra pit is: "This gentleman is more than steady, and the machine is insufficient." "It's very pertinent." However, since Kuang Zhang is slightly better than the general, will Kuang Zhang not pay attention to the matter of the military capital? Why are there only more than 10,000 people stationed there? Does he really think that with the natural danger of the military capital, he can resist the attack of our coalition forces? No, I don't think Kuang Zhang is too proud. ”

Speaking of which, the Qi army did not even arrange cavalry, which shows that after exploring the terrain, they knew that horses were not suitable for walking on pebbles, so they all arranged foot soldiers and more crossbowmen. This is clearly directed against our cavalry units. Even such details can be taken into account, will they make that kind of mistake of underestimating the enemy? There is indeed a problem. ”

"Could it be..."Pang Nuan looked at Ji Xin, and both of them thought of a great possibility.

"Hmph, this is selling a flaw to the old man, and I want the old man to take advantage of that loophole." The orchestra pit threw the information sent by Pang Xuan on several cases and sneered.

Yesterday's happy event for friends, I was greedy for two more cups, and I really didn't have the spirit to update it, don't blame you.
