Chapter 24: The Pre-War Rhythm
Dai Hou heard the sound of everyone talking in the barracks in the military tent of the partial army, and knew that all the generals had arrived, so he carefully took out the edict from the wooden box on the desk and sent someone to the open space next to the tent to bring the military supplies, all of which were ready, and the descendants Hou walked into the Chinese military camp surrounded by dozens of attendants wearing gold armor and brocade robes, Liu Xiang and others saw that the silver Ge, the golden halberd, the jade axe, and the bronze Yue on both sides of the Dai Hou were not spectacular, and everyone knelt down to listen to the edict.

"Qing and others have repeatedly fought to strengthen Qin Yang the prestige of my great Zhao country, although the widow is in the palace, but he often thinks about fighting to the death with the Qin people, Feng Liu Xiang is the general of the Wei General Changping Marquis leads the Dongyuan County to defend the Northern Army, Jiang Chen is the right general Changle Marquis leads the Wu'an County Guard, Lu Lian is the Pingbei General Cangwei Marquis leads the Ningjin County Guard, Ye Zhao is the general of Zhengxi Cheng Pingjun, Liu Xi is the Fenwei general Yi'an Jun, Lu Yi is the general Hengyang Jun, Liu Xiang can order all the generals and colonels of the Northern Army, reward, appoint official positions in the army and foreign expeditions and other military affairs do not have to be reported to the imperial court, Today, the widow will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and he will hope that the Qing and others will not disappoint the widow and build another war exploits, and I will admire this."
After reading it, the Daihou handed the edict to Liu Xiang, and then walked into Liu Xiang's ear and said: "Now the traitor Guo Kai controls the entire Handan and some surrounding areas, and the King of Zhao has been reduced to a puppet, the reason why I strongly persuade the King of Zhao to reward the front-line soldiers is to help the King of Zhao win more hearts and minds, once Guo Kai has a rebellious heart, you can lead your soldiers and horses into the King of Duqin, although you are here despite the continuous war, but it is also more than a hundred times stronger than Handan under Guo Kai's obscenity."
Liu Xiang was silent for a while when he heard these words, and at this time, Zhang Enming walked in, Liu Xiang immediately pulled him over when he saw it, and explained some things that happened before to Dai Hou, Dai Hou because he had seen this person's force on the battlefield, and listened to what Liu Xiang said, and his heart was overjoyed, so he named Zhang Enming as the general of the Dai Guo to break the capture of Pin Ping Weihou, and Zhang Enming also thanked him.
Why is it said that Liu Xiang's army is the Northern Army, more than ten days ago, the Marquis discussed with King Zhao, because Liu Xiang captured Dongyuan, which had been captured by the Qin State, so Zhao Xiangda had the intention of preparing to go north to recover the lost territory, so Li Mu's army in Yi'an was organized into the Southern Army, and Liu Xiang's army in Dongyuan was organized into the Northern Army.
After the marquis gave all the gold, grain, grass, and cattle wine to the northern soldiers, he left with his men and horses, and Liu Xiang sent the marquis away, and immediately discussed the next plan with the generals who entered the Chinese military tent.
"Although the Qin army has not yet attacked Daidi on a large scale, but some cities in the north of Zhao have already been occupied by the Qin army forty or fifty years ago, and now the king of Zhao has divided the army on this front line into two and let us command the northern army, which shows that the king of Zhao has the intention of going north to recover the lost territory, we can now lead the army north to seize Xiyang, Jiumen, Ningjia, and then send troops from Feixia and Quyang to capture Jin County, and finally multi-way soldiers and horses turn west to Fanwu, so that our army can completely open up the connection with Daidi, As a result, the Qin army's plan to attack Zhao on both sides came to naught," Jiang Chen said, pointing to the map on the case.
"Good plan, everyone go down and prepare to camp tonight, and go to the village thirty miles outside the Nine Gate City" Liu Xiang turned to the generals and said.
"Enming, you have to help me"
"Big brother rest assured, destroy the city and never give up"
After Liu Xiang and Zhang Enming finished speaking, they each returned to their camps and prepared to go, without mentioning it.
But said that Qin general Cheng Di half a month ago learned that Wang Peng was trapped in the valley and immediately ordered to stop the march, because the situation was urgent, so Cheng Di did not have time to ask for instructions and ordered to retreat, so 15,000 soldiers quietly retreated in the direction of Dongyuan, half a month later this army arrived in the woods outside Dongyuan City, but it was long time out of sight of the bloodstains of the fight, Cheng Di then knew that the two armies of Qin and Zhao may have withdrawn for a long time, Cheng Di thought about it if he went back and went deep alone, it might be dangerous, So Cheng Di raised his head and looked at the Dongyuan City in front of him, and decided to take the city.
On this day, Cheng Di led 5,000 cavalry to stand under the city, and Cheng Tai raised his sword and shouted: "The dog thief seized my Great Qin City, if I don't surrender again, no one will be left behind when the city is broken." Lu Yi heard that he hurriedly ordered a thousand archers to climb the city tower to defend, and ordered a hundred soldiers to carry arrows and rolling wood and cannon stones for the soldiers defending the city, Lu Yi was so anxious because Jiang Chen transferred most of the men and horses a few days ago, and now there are less than 3,000 people left in the Dongyuan City with armor, Lu Yi saw that his soldiers were already waiting on the city wall, so he climbed the enemy tower and shouted to Cheng Tai with a longbow in his hand: "This Dongyuan City was originally our Zhao State, and now it is just for our first king to recapture it, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my city, If you don't quit, you'll be a ghost under my sword." After speaking, Lu Yi took a bow and shot an arrow at the handsome flag beside Cheng Di, and hundreds of archers behind the city wall released arrows into the open space in front of the Qin army, and in an instant, hundreds of arrows filled the open space, and Cheng Di was shocked and hurriedly led the troops back.
Cheng Tai knew that he did not have any heavy equipment that could be used to attack the city, so he retreated, and after returning to the camp, Cheng Tai sent 1,000 soldiers to cut down nearby trees to make rushing carts and catapults to prepare for the siege.
In the early morning of the second day, Cheng Tai ordered the partial general Fu Gang to lead 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry as the first echelon, the partial general Wu Cheng to lead 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry as the second echelon, the general Han Yong to lead 2,000 infantry as the third echelon, and the partial general Cheng Qu to lead 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry as the fourth echelon.
Soon the hour arrived, with Cheng Di's order, Fu Gang led the first echelon to think about Dongyuan City and rushed over, but the Zhao army on the city tower was already in a tight position, Fu Gang's first echelon charged several times but were pressed back by the Zhao army's arrow rain, Fu Gang was furious and personally set up a cloud ladder to climb the city, Lu Yi in the city saw that he rushed forward and shot Fu Gang's ladder, Fu Gang fell to his death under the city, and the soldiers on the side saw it and hurriedly snatched back Fu Gang's body, Cheng Yi ordered the other three echelons to attack the city together.
After a battle, the Qin army suffered heavy losses, Wu Cheng died under the random arrows, Jiang Xiang was killed by a boulder thrown down, Cheng Qu was injured in the left arm by an arrow, Han Yong led the army to retreat and fell from his horse and was injured, although the Qin army broke a lot of generals, but the Zhao army defending the city also suffered more than half of the casualties, Lu Yi was silent and didn't know how to fight this battle again, at this time Cheng Di was not hurt because of the loss of the army, because Cheng Di knew that the Zhao army defending the city would not support it for a longer time, and Dongyuan City would be gained by the Qin army sooner or later.
Lu Yi stood in the courtyard of the county government and looked up at the sky in the cold wind, at this time he could only delay the pace of the Qin army's attack step by step. If you want to know what Lu Yi's best strategy is to break the enemy, please see the next breakdown.
