Chapter 50 The Battle Situation
For Zhao Meng in the past few days, there has not been a moment of ease for him.
First of all, as the most influential Li Mu in the military circles of Zhao State, he died in battle because of himself, and he also lost the army's main food route - Boyang. Now the army has been quarreled because of this, and for the first time in history, he has been looked down upon by all the generals in the army.
Just yesterday, there were already generals who openly opposed their own strategies, and they didn't need to ask to know that this was a good thing for Zhao Ji, although he did not explicitly oppose himself on the issue of military power after his arrival, but he held the king's will, and was ordered by the king to "read the division" as long as people who had been mixed in the officialdom knew that the king already had an opinion on Zhao Meng.
Although King Zhao took care of his face afterwards and ordered Zhao Meng to be named Nanyanghou, no matter how you look at it, this division is all about making himself unhappy.
"I am now leading the army in Hexi, and it means to divide Nanyanghou ......"
Nanyang is located on the border of Zhao and Qi. The meaning of this is deeper.
And now what is even more serious is that Zhao Meng has discovered that the army has been divided into two factions led by him and Zhao Ji, which is the most taboo thing on the front line. The military order is out of many doors, and the war is not good!
The thing that left him the most depressed was that the Qin State had already shown signs of war, and now the total strength of the Qin army was more than 300,000 people, while the Zhao State was only about 200,000, which was already at a disadvantage......
And the situation on the Qin side is not bad, now the whole army is full of fighting spirit, and there is an unstoppable trend of the great river flowing eastward!
And more importantly, since Jing Ran's new army arrived, the entire Qin-occupied area of the Restoration Army seemed to have disappeared overnight, which allowed them to have enough energy to concentrate on dealing with Zhao.
This is the deal between Qin and Jing Ran, the Qin army helped Jing Ran restore the country, and Jing Ran helped Qin win this big war related to national Zuo.
It was precisely because of this agreement that Jing Ran had already sent Li Xin to lead a large army deep into the occupied area of Zhao after arriving in Boyang, and at the same time sent Li Ren to collect the Restoration Army near Boyang, and it had been successful.
Since Jing Ran incorporated the Shengwei Department, Jing Ran has now incorporated five or six such large and small restoration armies. And the combat effectiveness is good.
Take Sheng Wei as an example, there are 3,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and hundreds of cavalry! Moreover, this army set up troops to go to Boyang after agreeing to be recruited, and according to the time, it should be almost to Boyang now.
In this way, Jing Ran's soldiers who can fight have exceeded 10,000!
After analyzing the current situation, Jing Ran's new army divided into two routes, one was led by Boyang Hou Li Xin, and swept near the Zhao army to disturb the Zhao army; And himself, he led the remaining sergeants and went directly to the empty interior of Zhao State!
Although Zhao is not currently without soldiers, 10,000 people are wreaking havoc in his interior, with the character of King Zhao, he will definitely be distracted and even regard himself as a big trouble, and the impact on the front-line Zhao army will definitely be great.
The reason is very simple, if he wants to re-recruit sergeants to hunt him, then there will definitely be a shortage of time, so he can only transfer troops from the front line, in this case, it will be a great support for the Qin State.
Wars cannot be won because of the number of people!
Just do it, Jing Ran has now begun to deploy troops.
"Boyang can't be lost yet, so we can only divide the troops."
Jing Ran looked at the generals under the seat and said.
"1,000 scouts from the Widow Headquarters, plus the newly attached Shengwei ......"
Saying that, he looked at Daniel Zhang.
Daniel Zhang knew that he could not go out this time, and immediately looked very depressed.
"King, do you want me to defend Boyang?"
As he spoke, he stood up.
Jing Ran pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
"Boyang is the military town of our army in Zhao State, and there must be no problems, so you can treat the widow well!"
Saying that, he glanced at Daniel Zhang fiercely.
The generals below all sneered and snickered, this big old man finally took it back, he used to rely on the king's favor, I don't know how crazy it is, now let this guy feel it too......
Daniel Zhang knew that things could not be done, and Jing Ran made a decision that others had no way to refuse.
I didn't insist at the moment, so I had to arch my hand sullenly and hurriedly agreed.
"Also, there will be the rest of the troops of the Restoration Army going to Boyang next, so you recognize me clearly, let them assist you in defending the city, Mr. Li Ren will stay to help you, I have already told him."
Daniel Zhang: "The end will understand ......"
Speaking of Li Xin's side, he has long led the troops to the battle, and this time it is the same as last time, in addition to leading his own generals, he also took Zhao Mu's cavalry army at the same time, the strength is the same as last time, and he is already a Hou, and he is a general, Zhao Mu is naturally under his command, Zhao Mu also understands this, and he also believes in Li Xin's ability from the bottom of his heart.
Li Xin was riding on a war horse, and beside him was Zhao Mu.
Li Xin looked into the distance, and he didn't know what to look at. But his eyes and movements are like a wolf.
Zhao Mu looked at Li Xin and said leisurely:
"General, I've been out of Boyang for a long time now, but I haven't seen Zhao Jun yet, where did these big brothers go."
Yes, they have been away from Boyang for three days and have not seen Zhao Jun yet. Although the Northland is full of scenery, it can't hide the murderous atmosphere blowing in the wind.
"Since ancient times, the north has killed many ......"
Li Xin didn't answer his question, but just said lightly.
Zhao Mu was speechless.
Just when Zhao Mu was puzzled, Li Xin said lightly again, this time, Zhao Mu's heart was raised.
Li Xin: "Wait, in another hour, Zhao Jun will come, and there will be no need to rush to find them then." ”
Zhao Mu didn't speak this time, but just touched the big knife on his waist. It had been a long time since he had fought on horseback, let alone slashed his enemies. His heart was still a little excited and uneasy.
As a general, as a soldier, you can't kill the enemy, it's better to go home and manage those two acres of thin fields.
Li Xin seemed to see through his mind.
"General Zhao Mu listens to orders!"
Zhao Mu was stunned, and forgot to reply for a while.
Li Xin looked at him: "General Zhao Mu! ”
Zhao Mu only reacted at this time: "The last general ......"
Li Xin looked at him and smiled slightly: "The general doesn't have to be like this, he will get used to it after a long time." ”
Zhao Mu: "Yes......"
Li Xin also put away his smile at this time: "General Zhao Mu, you are now sending ten people as scouts to immediately explore in the southeast direction, according to my analysis, Zhao Jun should be over there, and he will get all the news in half an hour!" ”
Zhao Mu: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Saying that, Zhao Mu was about to give an order, but Li Xin added: "If there is no news, the scouts will be killed on the spot!" This battle was going to be a complete victory, so the order was passed on, and the army was ready on the spot! ”
Zhao Mu did Ling this time, this Li Xin looked thin and weak, and it is said that he personally killed acquaintances when he fought Li Mu, and now he has given such an order, and he is resolute, no wonder the king values him so much.
After the order was issued, the heavy armor soldiers began to wear armor, and their faces were the same as usual, Zhao Mu looked at Li Xin's infantry, and his eyes were stunned,
As a general, although he has not fought against the enemy for a long time, his years of military experience have also given him a lot of different insights
He had seen infantry from other units, but compared to the army in front of him, he always felt that something was missing.
“……”
By the way, less is calm.
As the old saying goes, if you can hold a sword in front of the enemy, it is a qualified army, but Li Xin's infantry is so calm, to be honest, their army is a lone army, and it is really insignificant in front of the Zhao army with hundreds of thousands of people, if you face an enemy army of more than 30,000 people, maybe an impact will be eaten and wiped out, but how can his soldiers be so calm!
Zhao Mu didn't know that Li Xin's training path was different from all the current armies. He pays attention to the individual combat ability of army soldiers, but in comparison, he pays more attention to the teamwork ability of the army, and if an army has a good teamwork ability, it can only be constrained by strict discipline.
But now wars happen from time to time, and the countries don't even know the enemy, where is the time to pay attention to the discipline of the soldiers, as long as they don't mess up on the battlefield, and as for the rest, it's just a joke.
Zhao Mu couldn't think of such a thing, Jing Ran couldn't think of it, Gongsun Zhi, Jing Yu and others couldn't think of it, if someone had to think of it, then only Emperor Mingguang of Great Chu and Li Mu who died in battle thought of it.
This alone is enough for Li Xin to be comparable to the previous generation of war gods.
Shiyan Dachu is full of talents, and there are often famous people, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary!
Zhao Mu looked at the calm Li Xin, then looked at the southeast direction where the scout was going, and calculated the time:
"Half an Hour ......"
Sure enough, just when Zhao Mu was thinking in his heart, he saw ten horsemen and horses from a distance, raising wind and dust, and quickly arrived.
"Is it really the enemy army......
Zhao Mu couldn't believe that Li Xin hadn't even glanced at the map, and he could actually know that there was an enemy army in the southeast!?
He knew there that the thirty-six counties of Zhongzhou, four countries, and Kyushu were all in Li Xinxin.
"Famous generals should have the world in mind."
Li Xin is.
"General Hui, more than 10,000 enemy troops were found in the southeast direction, all of them were infantry!"
Li Xin listened to the scout's report and nodded: "Got it, let's return to the camp." ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword.
"The people will listen to the command! The enemy army has appeared in the southeast direction, and all the units have stepped up their preparations, and this battle should completely annihilate the enemy army, and there will be only one person left......"
When Li Xin said this, he paused, and then looked coldly at the generals in the army.
"Anyone who escapes from the enemy army will be beheaded above the defense!"
For defense, he was a middle-level officer with 500 men, and there were only about a dozen people in the whole army......
If it were replaced by another army, it is estimated that the defense below would have been dispersed long ago, and 6,000 to 10,000 was originally a disadvantage, and now it will be completely annihilated!
But when Li Xin finished speaking, no one in the whole army made the same sound, and there was not even an expression of opposition.
These people have been trained by Li Xin to be fools......
And they believe in their own abilities from the bottom of their hearts:
"If you can't solve it with even 10,000 people, don't be a soldier, go home and nurse the baby!"
This should be the voice of General Li Xin.
Li Xin looked at the slowly emerging battle brigade and pointed at the enemy with his sword:
"Heavy armor obeys orders!"
"Roar!"
"Pressing the array!"
As soon as the words fell, a thousand heavy armor slowly moved towards the enemy army with solid steps, and they were no longer armies at this time, but like a stone mill that crushed everything.
The Zhao army in the distance obviously noticed the same, and the army also stopped.
"What's up ahead?"
The commander of the Zhao army, who was riding on the horse, asked puzzled.
