Chapter 137: Zhao Guo counterattacks

Wu led the remnants back to Lishi and met with the Lord to win. When Ying Jian heard the bad news, he was shocked and said: "What do you say, thousands of my soldiers are gone. ”

"Thousands of soldiers died in the Valley of No Return." Wu Huo looked sad and said, "Please punish the Lord." ”

Ying Jian calmed his breath and asked in a cold voice: "According to Qin Law, how should I punish General Wuhu." ”

When Wu heard this, his face was shocked, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and he begged for mercy: "Please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions to my crimes." ”

"General Wuhu, not only did you fail to capture Yangyi, but also buried thousands of soldiers in Zhao Di, and there are no bones." Ying Jian took a breath of cold air, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Today, put my army in a dangerous place." You are convicted. ”

"The last will be convicted." Wu begged for mercy: "Please give me a chance to make meritorious deeds." ”

Ying Jian opened his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Go down!" ”

Wu Shu hurriedly said: "Thank you for the extrajudicial grace." ”

Wu Shu bowed and withdrew.

One said, "Lord, you have spared him like this." ”

"What do you want me to do."

"Wu was defeated and deserved to be beheaded."

"Killing Wu is small, offending Qin Xiang is big. Qin Xiang has no one to replace in the king's heart. Today, I kill to boost morale. not only offended Qin Xiang, but also left a smug of shame for killing the general. Win sighed: "The army will die if defeated, this is the national law of the barbarians of Chu State." How can I, the Qin State, follow suit. It is precisely because of repeated defeats and repeated defeats that the ancestors established the foundation of our Great Qin Dynasty. We crossed the river to defeat the Zhao army and captured Lin and Lishi. Many soldiers became arrogant and despised Zhao Jun. The Zhao family, Wenneng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo. The north of Zhao is full of Hu people, so the Zhao family is good at war, and the folk customs are martial. Wu was defeated, and it was because we despised Zhao Jun. The fiasco of the Valley of No Return is also a wake-up call for us. ”

"Having said that, the Lord will not punish the unpunished, and it will be difficult to convince the people."

"Alright. Not to mention the defeat. Ying Ji asked, "How should we meet the offensive of the Zhao army next?" ”

"Lu Yi can't be attacked for a long time, and the Zhao army of Yangyi threatens our army again. We cannot go in or retreat. The remnants of Lin Cheng and Lishi Zhao armies constantly harassed the rear of our army. We can only increase our military strength and protect the supply lines of the grain route from being cut off by the Zhao army. Lord, the situation is not in our favor. This battle is not easy to fight! ”

"It's not good to fight, but you have to fight. I'm a big Qin man, I'm not afraid of being difficult to fight, I'm afraid that I won't have to fight. ”

"The last general is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers in his headquarters to attack Yangyi and avenge our army."

"The last general is willing to lead 10,000 troops to support General Yingxu to attack Luyi"

"Generals, do we still have more troops to deploy?" Ying Ji's eyes were calm and waveless, "The river bank needs three thousand soldiers to guard the pontoon bridge." 5,000 soldiers were stationed in Lin City to prevent the remnants of Lin City from taking the city. The grain road is the top priority of our army, and we need 10,000 soldiers to ensure the safety of the grain road. Seize the river bank, capture Lin, Lishi, the battle of the Valley of No Return Our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties. General Yingxu led 50,000 soldiers to a stalemate with the Zhao army in LΓΌyi. Today, there are less than 23,000 defenders in Stone City. ”

"Divide 10,000 troops to attack Yangyi, and then divide 10,000 troops to support the battle in Luyi. There were less than 3,000 people from the stone garrison. The Zhao army sent a surprise army, seized Lishi, cut off my way back, and our army was in danger. Win said worriedly: "Can this battle still be fought?" ”

"Does the commander mean to withdraw his troops?"

"It's too quiet from the rocks." Win Ji paused and sighed, "This is a sign of a storm. Guys, keep fighting, you have a few chances of winning. ”

"The Lord can't withdraw his troops! Once we withdraw, all our efforts will be in vain. ”

"Zhao Di is complicated, and Zhao Jun is good at fighting. The fact that our army has been able to achieve the current results is really the favor of heaven. Zhao Guo is a sleeping tiger, and I hope it never wakes up. "Once this tiger wakes up, it will roar in the mountains and forests, proud of the princes of the world." Within ten days, the Zhao army would counterattack strongly. We must always be ready to withdraw our troops. ”

Qin and Zhao have the same ancestry, and they are all descendants of the Zhao family. After a hundred years of struggle, the Qin State has woken up from its slumber. If the Qin State does not wake up, it will be over, and the princes of the world will change color when they wake up. If Zhao Guo can have a Ming Jun and a virtuous minister, Zhao Guo will not wake up, and if he wakes up, it will be a blockbuster. All the princes of the world set themselves up as kings. Even the Hu people such as Yiqu, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu also established themselves as kings. However, Zhao Jun issued an edict to go to the king to claim the king. Zhao Jun's move seems ridiculous, but in fact it is not hiding the ambition in his chest. After thinking about it, he felt that Qin Zhao's current war was originally a wrong choice.

Feiyi crossed the mountains and mountains to Yangyi, and learned the news of the victory over the Qin army in the Valley of No Return. Feiyi summoned the generals of Yangyi and commended, "General Zhao Ying, you fought well." The Battle of the Valley of No Return not only killed and injured the living force of the Qin army, but also strengthened the prestige of our army. The next thing we have to do is to drive out the Qin army, recover the lost territory, and return our mountains and rivers. ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, she looked excited and said, "Da Sima, the king has decided to fight back." ”

Fei Yi nodded and replied, "It's time for us to fight back against the Qin people. ”

Zhao Ying had already held her breath, clapped her hands and said, "Great, we finally got it this day." ”

One person came out of the queue and arched his hand: "Da Sima, I have a plan." ”

Fat eyes stared at the man's delicate face, raised his hand and said, "Speak." ”

"If we want to achieve a complete victory, we must not directly engage in war with the Qin army. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. Seeing that the crowd was full of doubts, the man continued: "We should attack the heart." ”

Fei Yi pondered a little and asked, "How to attack the heart." ”

"The Qin army's 50,000-strong army is attacking LΓΌyi. More than 20,000 troops were stationed in Lishi. The Qin army in Lin Cheng was less than 5,000. The army on the banks of the river was 3,000 men. Although the Qin army numbered 100,000 people, its forces were weak and scattered. I have fifty thousand people in the north. I think that the attack on the Qin army should be divided into three ways. Sent troops all the way away from the stone, besieged but not attacked, and contained the Qin army in the city. Reinforcements along the way to the Lin clan to regain Lin City. All the way to Lin City, arrive at the big river, from top to bottom, burn the pontoon bridge, cut off its way back. When the Qin people learned that there was no way to return to the country, the army's morale would be chaotic. As soon as the Qin army is in chaos, our army can recover the mountains and rivers in one go. ”

"Okay." When Fei Yi heard this, he was overjoyed, looked at the other party's eyes, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man arched his hand and said, "Le Yi." ”

"Le Yi." Fei Yi Zhengse said: "I remember your name. ”

Gongsun Yi came out of the queue and said anxiously: "Please give me a chance to recover the merits and sins from the stone land." ”

Zhao Ying also said: "The last general is willing to help General Gongsun." ”

"Please give the order of Da Sima to counterattack the Qin army and avenge the dead soldiers of our army."

"Okay." Fei Yi was dyed by the expressions of the generals, and gave orders: "General Gongsun Yi, you lead 20,000 soldiers to besiege Lishi. Besiege but not attack, contain the Qin army. Waiting for an opportunity to regain lost ground. ”

"Whoa."

"General Zhao Ying, you lead 8,000 soldiers to support the Lin clan to recover Lin City, and burn the grain and grass of the Qin army and cut off its grain route."

"Whoa."

Fei Yi stayed on the young man for a long time and shouted, "Le Yi." ”

Le Yi hesitated a little and arched his hand: "Yes." ”

"You lead 5,000 soldiers, make a detour to Lin City, arrive at the upper reaches of the big river, take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qin people, destroy their pontoon bridge, and cut off the return route of the Qin army." Seeing that Le Yi didn't give up his orders, Fei Yi asked, "Le Yi, are you willing to lead the army." ”

Le Yi was slightly surprised, and said humbly: "I have never commanded the army. He also had no battlefield experience with the Qin army. Da Sima handed over 5,000 soldiers to me, and it was difficult to convince the people. Le Yi is a shallow learner, and it is difficult to be up to the task. Ask Da Sima to choose another candidate. ”

This is the time to establish fame. Fei Yi was rejected by Le Yi, and he was quite surprised. Zhao Ying said in a low voice: "Da Sima, Le Yi has never fought. It is indeed unconvincing that you have handed over 5,000 soldiers to him. ”

Other generals also urged Fei Yi to take back his life.

Fei Yi asked, "Le Yi, are you willing to lead the troops?" ”

Le Yi thought for a moment and replied: "Le Yi doesn't understand the way of soldiers. ”

Fei Yi has been observing the young man in front of him, in the face of everyone's criticism, his eyes are calm as water, his conversation is elegant, he responds freely, and there is no dissatisfaction. Its posture is as tall as a pine, and its momentum is as strong as the sun. At the same time, he just dedicated his heart to attack the ground strategy, how can it be said that he does not understand the way of war. Le Yi is still young and has such cultivation, and with more tempering over time, he will definitely become a famous general who has been passed down through the ages.

Fei Yi believes in his own self-awareness, whether he deliberately shirks or really doesn't understand the way of war. He insisted on his own proposition and said: "I will hand over the task of burning the pontoon bridge of the Qin army to you." ”

Le Yi saw that he couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly accepted his life, "Oh." ”

Zhao Yong stared at the clouds on the horizon. The clouds change shape with the breeze and float with the wind. After staring at it for a long time, he asked, "Feiyi, it's been a few days since you left." ”

Mu Jian calculated and replied, "It's been four days." ”

"According to this calculation, Feiyi should have arrived in Yangyi!" Zhao Yong asked, "Tomorrow is the deadline we agreed to attack Qindi." Did you send someone from Feiyi's side to send news? ”

Mu Jian shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, there is news from Da Sima's side, and I will tell you as soon as possible." Ah, you! Just don't worry. ”

"This battle is related to the safety of Jinyang." Zhao Yong frowned and said, "How can I not be worried." ”

Li Dui entered the Jinyang Palace, presented the news sent by Yangyi, and said happily: "Your Majesty, this is sent by the Yangyi messenger day and night. ”

"Bring it up, and the widow will take a look."

Mu Jian took the bamboo slip and handed it to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun picked up the bamboo slips, and after reading them, he laughed and said, "Great." ”

Li Dui asked, "Your Majesty, there is news over there in Yangyi." ”

"The Qin army attacked my Yangyi." Zhao Yongxi said: "Zhao Ying not only held Yangyi, but also defeated the Qin army in the Valley of No Return, killing nearly 5,000 Qin troops. ”

"Congratulations." Li Dui said: "Since the start of the Qin and Zhao wars, this is the biggest victory achieved by our army. ”

"Pass the order." Zhao Yong raised his voice and said: "Tomorrow, we will comprehensively counterattack the Qin army and recover the lost territory." ”

The next day, the morning sun rose. Zhao Yong gave the order for a counterattack in Jinyang Palace. Zhao Yong handed over Jinyang to Li Dui and others, personally led 50,000 Zhao troops, and went to Luyi to support Zhao Yunshu, the lord of Jinyang, to attack the 50,000 Qin troops led by Ying Xu. As soon as the reinforcements of the Zhao army arrived, the Zhao army of LΓΌyi launched a strong attack on the Qin army. At this time, the Zhao army north of Yangyi and others launched an offensive posture against the Qin army in three ways. The Qin army retreated in defeat after defeat, and Zhao won every victory.

Win the disease and sit in Lishi and command the army to deal with the siege of the Zhao army. The besieging Zhao army did not take the initiative to attack. The Qin army could not go out of the city to face the Zhao army, or support other Qin troops. Win quickly received 50,000 Qin troops from LΓΌyi, and were defeated by the Zhao army. Subsequently, the grain road was cut off and destroyed by the Zhao army. Subsequently, Lin Cheng was recovered by the Zhao army. However, Ying Jian got the most fatal news, the Qin army wasted a lot of material, financial and manpower to build a pontoon bridge on the big river was also destroyed by the Zhao army. In the face of so many disadvantages, he can still be calm and analyze the current situation. Win the disease and understand that the way back is cut off, and the army's spirit will be scattered. In this battle, they have already lost.

However, how can the losses be minimized. That's something he's going to think about.

To the east, there were more than 100,000 Zhao troops blocking it; To the west, the Zhao army was weakly defended, but the pontoon bridge at the return site was burned. To go west is to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river. To the north, the place where the Nahu people gathered, was never allowed to go. After thinking about it, Ying Jian decided to shrink all his forces, take advantage of the Wei State, and return to the land east of the river. Zhang Yi and other Qin troops in Zhongdu and Xiyang saw that they were defeated and no longer attacked the Zhao army. The Zhao army drove away the Qin people and recovered the lost territory. The war between Qin and Zhao finally came to an end.

Zhao Yunshu finally saw a familiar figure on the riverbank, and shouted, "Sima Wang." ”

Sima Wangzu heard the shouting and turned around. Zhao Yunshu couldn't hold back his mood, rushed over, hugged him tightly, and cried: "I thought I would never see you again." It's great that you're alive. ”

Sima Wang's body stiffened, and he couldn't say a word. The Qin army captured Lishi, and he led 5,000 soldiers to defend the city. When the Qin army broke the city, he led the remnants of the army to escape from Lishi. The Sima Wang clan did not go to Lishi, but gathered the remnants of the army and attacked the weak point of the Qin army's grain route. Today, I never imagined that they would meet again in such a scene and in such a way.

"I'm afraid I'll never see you again." Zhao Yunshu couldn't control the emotion in his heart, "It's great that you're alive." ”

Sima Wangzu said: "County Lord, the Wangzu has worried you. ”
