Three hundred and sixty-five times, step by step! Layers of defense
When Ling Chuan and Ju Cheng learned that Li Xin was in danger, they immediately led a large army to kill from the periphery to the city, and rescued Li Xin from the chaos.
Liaodong County - the main hall of Yanguo
Liu Xi led Wen Ye into the main hall and came to the front of King Yan, Wen Ye handed over the letter of state written by Zhao Jia himself, and said: "King Yan, the king of Qin sent troops to press the border between our two countries, and the only people who still resist the Qin army in the north today are the king and the king of my family, and the king of my family inherits the will of the previous king to continue to resist Qin, and the country of Yan is adjacent to the foreign country, and the two countries should fight the Qin country together with honor and disgrace, and it will not be long before all the lost territory can be recovered."
"Messenger, you really give the widow a lot of confidence, go back and tell your family to act as the king, and the widow will form an alliance with the country to advance and retreat together."
Seeing that King Yan agreed so quickly, and wrote a letter of state and handed it to himself, Wen Ye said happily: "King, after the minister goes back, he will give the king of the Ming Dynasty, and soon the country will definitely send a strong army to attack the lost land of Yan and help Yan Guo."
Wen Ye accelerated and galloped towards the west.
Following
Zhao Jia, who received the reply from the King of Yan, immediately gathered the army and ordered Jin Wu to be the governor of the capital, Zhao Lie to be the deputy governor of the capital, Gong Qi to be the vanguard of the front, and Wen Ye to join the army as the military division, and a total of 150,000 troops marched east to the old land of Yan.
The army drove to a place very close to the west bank of Yishui, and instantly defeated the 20,000 Qin troops stationed there, these Qin soldiers and Qin generals did not expect that the Dai army would suddenly salute again and again and follow Liu Xi out of the main hall, walked to the gate of Liaodong County and said a few words to Liu Xi
When attacked, he lost his armor and abandoned his armor and was killed at all, and the main general and deputy general were also killed by Gong Qi.
After occupying this land on the banks of the Yishui River, the Dai army brought in boats that had been prepared for a long time, and passed through the Yishui one after another.
Wen Ye arranged the thirty boats in two, tied them together, and put a thick shield on the hull and used eight oars to slide instead, so that the fifteen ships would attack first.
The Qin ships docked on the shore on the east bank of Yishui were also small boats, and when they saw the enemy attack on the opposite side, they hurriedly drove over to block them, and just approached these fifteen warships and were held back by the bamboo poles tied to the ships and could not advance.
A burst of arrows in the formation of the Dai army ships shot all the Qin soldiers on these ships into the water, and all the feather arrows flying from the shore of the Qin army were inserted into the shields of the warships, and then these fifteen warships rushed to the front and arrived at the shore first.
After a charge, the army annihilated the coastal defenders, and all of them landed on the shore and assembled to march to the first city Raoyang, Wang Jian did not expect that there would be enemy troops behind him, so he did not allocate too many soldiers and horses to Raoyang.
In just half an hour of attacking the fortification, the Dai army conquered Raoyang and entered the city, and then arranged for the logistics department to transfer more grain and grass, ready to help Yan recover the lost territory.
The battle report of the attack of the Dai army reached the hands of King Yan, which made King Yan finally have the confidence to counterattack and regain the lost ground, and immediately liquidated the soldiers and horses at hand to prepare for a counterattack.
At this time, Prince Dan came to King Yan and said: "Father, now that the country is helping the outside to regain the lost territory, do you have any plans to send troops to counterattack and completely repel the Qin army."
"That's what I think, it's just that the Qin army is now approaching the city of Xiangping, and I don't know where to counterattack from outside, and the generals at hand have all been sent, so I haven't found anyone who can lead the troops."
Hearing the doubts that King Yan said, Prince Dan took out the map from his arms, pointed and said: "The Qin army is approaching Xiangping, so the frontal road can no longer be chosen, there are still 50,000 guards near Liaodong County, and there are 50,000 forbidden troops guarding the palace in the city, which can form a 100,000-strong army to prohibit the army from the side, first, it can skillfully avoid the vanguard of the Qin army, and secondly, it can go straight to the area where the Qin army's defense is lax behind the enemy, and better recover the lost territory of our country."
Prince Dan continued: "I have just checked all the generals still in the city, and none of them can take on this great responsibility, so my son is willing to personally lead the army to attack the Qin army, and I hope that my father will allow it when the time is urgent."
"It seems that there is no other way now, and I can't control so much now, I will gather all the soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, make you the commander of the whole army as the governor of the capital, and order Su Li, Jia Tong, Pang Xuan, and Fang Rong to help you."
After that, King Yan immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses outside the city to be assembled, and then ordered his think tank to formulate a reasonable battle plan, and half an hour later, Prince Dan led the army to set off.
At this moment, Li Xin's army was still encircled outside Xiangping City, and hundreds of charges were launched for several days, all of which were repulsed.
Li Xin changed his strategy to postpone the siege of the city, ordered Ling Chuan to take a small number of soldiers and horses to strictly inspect the outside of the city, and successfully attacked the elusive Yan army outside the city.
The moment the city gate opened, Jiang Chen and Lin Yao led the army to swarm out, and in an instant, the Qin army that was already tired of besieging the city was defeated, ignoring the defeated Qin army, the soldiers of the Yan army went straight into the woods outside the city, and the soldiers who stayed here entered the city.
Seeing that the Yan army had picked up several men and horses outside the city, Li Xin knew that Liu Xiang planned to use crowd tactics to defend the city wall according to the same as the battle of Jicheng at that time.
Li Xin smiled contemptuously, he must not let Liu Xiang be complacent, so he ordered all generals and armies to only surround and not attack, intending to trap the Yan army here.
Subsequently, Li Xin adopted Ju Cheng's suggestion and divided one-third of his troops to the east to attack Liaodong County, and the Qin general who commanded this army was Ju Cheng.
The Qin army led by Ju Cheng burned and looted all the way, destroying one village and camp after another in the Yan Kingdom along the way, and successfully attacked the city of Xiangdong.
The Qin army just wanted to attack the city, but unexpectedly, two troops and horses went straight to the rear of the Qin army, and the two Yan generals led by it were Qin Ming and Xiang Lang, and this army was really an army under the command of Yi Hou.
It turned out that Yi Hou led his army to follow King Yan to the east, and after arriving in Liaodong County, King Yan knew that Yi Hou had great power and high prestige, and he and his soldiers must not be treated badly, so he ordered him to be stationed in Xiangdong City as a temporary fief.
Yi Hou saw that the results of more than ten years of painstaking management were destroyed by the fierce offensive of the Qin army, and he was bent on revenge, so he had been paying close attention to the movements of the Qin army.
Knowing that a detachment of the Qin army was heading towards his Xiangdong City, Yihou Daxi immediately ordered all the troops to stay still.
When the Qin army drove to the city and prepared to attack the city, it was also the time when the Qin army was the least vigilant in the rear, and at this time, the Yan soldiers who had already been ready came out together.
Qin Ming and Xiang Lang led cavalry, and the infantry in the rear of the Qin army was scattered with just one charge, and the soldiers of the Qin army trampled on each other and killed countless people.
Originally, he thought that this was just a small fight by the Yan army, but he didn't expect his rear to become so unstable, Ju Cheng hurriedly led the army to the rear to stabilize the situation.
At this time, the generals of Xiangdong City opened the city gate, and Le Yuan and Wei Sheng led the Xuanwu battalion to rush out of the city.
