Xianyang - Inner Palace of King Qin

King Qin continued: "The two of you can come up with another strategy, you must crack this Yan Dynasty counteroffensive operation, and destroy the remnants of the Yan Kingdom as quickly as possible, and the widows will use troops against the country in the spring of next year, so there are only less than two months left."

Li Si said: "The minister believes that at this time, the winter and Liaodong are extremely cold, and troops should be transferred from the cool land of our country to reinforce General Wang Lao, in addition to the rest of the soldiers affected by the severe cold, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Only the soldiers produced by Yongliang, which is almost the same cold climate, can withstand such a cold climate, and the minister has recommended Sima Xin before, and today he will recommend another person to take on this important task.

This person is the Yongliang Yongcheng clan, now the deputy general of the Yongliang Army, Cao Ji, although this person is young, he has a martial arts, and his wisdom and strategy are even more than ordinary people, and he can immediately order him to reorganize his troops and horses and immediately go to serve in Liaodong Wang Qian."

After listening to what Li Si said, King Qin nodded and said: "Since you have protected this person, the widow has ordered him to be the governor, and ordered him to immediately mobilize 100,000 Yongliang troops and quickly rush to serve in front of the army of Liaodong Wang Qian."

"The king, Lord Li has finished talking about the method of fighting the enemy on the front line, and the minister has a plan to crack the counterattack of the enemy army in the old land of Yan Kingdom, but this strategy must be completed on the front line of Liaodong, and the attack can only be completed when the attack is progressing smoothly.

After listening to what the lieutenant said, the king of Qin nodded, and first handed a piece of edict to Yongcheng, and Cao Ji quickly mobilized troops and horses from all over Liaodong, and after getting 100,000 troops, he quickly went to the east.

Here, regardless of the old land of Yan or the deep hinterland of Liaodong, the two armies on both sides are in a stalemate, and neither can quickly eliminate the other party in this way.

Ten days later

Cao Ji led the army to finally rush to Wang Qian's army, and after hearing the intention, Wang Jian was overjoyed and issued an order for a general attack.

At this time, the edict issued by the king of Qin also arrived, and Wang Jian spit out the edict to spread the death order to all armies, and then, more than 200,000 vanguard soldiers launched an attack on Xiangping.

When the soldiers of the Yan army guarding Xiangping City saw it, they were all frightened, and the black pressure surrounded the entire city after a while.

The elusive Yan army outside the city of Xiangping was also intercepted and killed by Cao Yao's Yongliang army, and after a battle, Qiu Hao and Wei Ye, who commanded the armies outside the city, saw that they could not resist the enemy, so they had to retreat to Xiangping to plan to enter the city.

Before they reached the city, Qiu Hao and Wei Ye saw that the city had been surrounded by the Qin army, and they had no choice but to look to the east.

Jiang Chen and Jian Xin in the city discussed countermeasures, Jiang Chen said: "All the soldiers and horses in my city are only 20,000, and the Qin army besieging the city is 120,000, and I originally wanted to pin on Qiu Hao and Wei Ye's men and horses outside the city, so it seems that they are already difficult to protect themselves, and they must break out of the siege now, otherwise we will all die in this Xiangping City."

"At present, the Qin army is attacking the city rapidly, so that we have no chance to break through the siege, so we must hold on for a while, and wait until the Qin army is tired is the best time for us to break through."

Jiang Chen knew that the current situation also had this intention, so he ordered all generals and armies to continue to hold on, and mobilized all forces in the city to defend the city.

Wang Jian saw that the Yan soldiers in the city were still defending the city, but the casualties of the Qin army were increasing, and he expected that the defenders in the city would only be wiped out, and he was ready to attack when the Qin army was tired and retreating, so he ordered the soldiers and horses to pretend to be tired and retreat.

When the Qin army retreated not long, the city gate was really wide open and rushed out a lot of soldiers and horses, Wang Jian was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to surround him, but he unexpectedly learned that the granary behind him was on fire, and hurriedly sent troops to the rescue.

It turned out that Jian Xin had long known that the Qin army's hundreds of thousands of troops were besieging the city vigorously, and the grain and grass would inevitably fall behind and there were not many guards and horses, so he had already instructed Qiu Hao and Wei Ye that if the army was defeated and retreated, they did not have to return to Xiangping, and they would fire the army to find the granary in the rear of the Qin army and attack.

The fire in the granary in the rear of the Qin army became bigger and bigger, and the soldiers were shaken when they saw the attack in the rear, and the second general Han Chao and Wen Yi led the army to rush straight into the crowd of the Qin army.

The two did not mean to kill immediately, but led the men and horses to rush around in the Qin army, and the formation of the Qin army was very scattered.

Seeing this, Luan Bu transferred troops and horses from other places to encircle and suppress, and the Yan army in Xiangping City took the opportunity to break through from other gates, and Han Chao and Wen Yi also took the road and went to Xiangdong with the army.

Qiu Hao and Wei Ye led the army to set fire to the granary, knowing that the Qin army's reinforcements would arrive soon, and after rushing and killing for a while, they also retreated to Xiangdong.

When Wang Jian learned that the Yan army had broken through the siege and left the city, he immediately sent Cao Ji to lead his headquarters to kill Xiangdong in a fit of rage.

Xiangdong City

Outside the city, the Yan army encountered the elite Yongliang iron cavalry, which could almost be described as crushing at the touch of a button, and could not withstand the fierce attack of the Qin army at all.

When the Qin army had not yet formed a siege of the city, the Lonely Qilin, Bailong, Yue Xia and others protected the Lord Yu to arrive in Xiangdong City, and Qin Ming and Xiang Lang outside the city also led the remnants into the city.

Yi Hou sent someone to arrange a room for Lord Wu, and came to his side in person, and Lord Wu also blocked out the left and right when he saw this.

Lord Yu said to Yi Hou: "Ji Qian, I didn't expect that your development in Yicheng is not bad, and your soldiers and horses can reach the ability to match the Qin army, and you really deserve to be the first prince of my Yan Kingdom."

"The dead soldiers under your command are also presentable, and now the Yan Kingdom is full of your henchmen, if the Qin army attacks a few years later, I am afraid that this Yan Kingdom is really as Your Excellency hopes, Your Excellency has really become the master of this Yan Kingdom, but it is a pity that the Yan Kingdom has become the bag of the Qin State."

After listening to what Yi Hou said, Lord Yu sneered and said: "You think I don't know, you also have this ambition, if King Yan dies, you will take the opportunity to seize the throne, but unfortunately, the old man has been looking forward to this position for decades, even if he wants to seize the throne, he has to give me this elder first."

"I've investigated you, and I'll have to call you uncle by seniority, but you don't want to rob me of this position."

After Yi Hou finished speaking, Lord Yu said: "You also said, at the moment, I am afraid that you and I will get this throne, and it won't be long before we will give it to others, and the Qin army will soon conquer Liaodong and set up counties, so what you and I see at the moment is just a mess, it is better to join forces to defeat the Qin army first."

Hearing what Lord Wu said, Yi Hou nodded and agreed, and after a few more conversations, he returned to the city tower.

Half an hour later, Cao Ji gave the order for the whole army to attack the city, and 100,000 troops rushed towards the city, and dozens of catapults made a deafening roar.

Yi Hou braved the rain of flint and arrows to command the battle......
