Chapter 77: The Battlefield of Destroying the Nation (9) Aggression and Resistance
After Qiang Kui heard the sound of horses' hooves, his heart became nervous again, and he poked his head out to see that the other party was not a representative army, but a soldier and horse of the Qin State. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The general at the head seemed to notice something unusual nearby, and beckoned to signal the army to stop, Qiang Kui saw that the man had a beard, a slightly chubby body, and was wearing a black battle armor, and the man had a war horse under his crotch and a big knife in his hand as if he was growing on his body, and when he walked, his body hung down on the horse's back and carried the big knife on his shoulder with one hand.
Qiang Kui was afraid that the other party's attack would accidentally injure the men and horses, so he led the remnants of the army out and said to the general: "I am Qiang Kui, the general of Qin Wang Qinfeng, I don't know which part you are."
The general stabbed the big knife on the ground and saluted forward: "It turned out that General Qiang had admired the name for a long time, and Yang Duanhe, the general of Xiazhenbei, led the army to attack Zhao on the order of the king, but he didn't want to meet the general here."
Qiang Kui said: "It just so happens that I have just lost the battle, and I asked the general to borrow my soldiers and horses to kill him back to shame."
Yang Duanhe jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Haha, don't panic, the general is not panicking, it is only a matter of time before the Zhao State dies, there are eggs under the nest, the general might as well march to Handan with me, and when the time comes, the king of Zhao will be captured and they will not be able to tie their hands obediently."
Qiang Kui felt that it made sense and agreed, and the two of them jointly led the soldiers and horses to look in the direction of Handan.
Inside the city of Yi'an
Li Mu only knew that the Qin army was attacking Zhao on a large scale, but he didn't expect that the enemy's speed was so fast, and he hurriedly summoned all the generals to discuss how to deal with it.
Li Mu pointed to the map and said: "I didn't expect that it has only been a month, and the speed of the Qin army's march has exceeded my expectations, Lingchuan in the east has conquered the pomelo people, sand dunes, and Julu, and Wang Peng and Li Xin in the south have each led 50,000 troops to break through the Zhangshui and coastal defense lines, and the Qin army on both sides is forming a pincer offensive to flank us."
Sima Shang said: "Just now, a messenger from Daidi came to report that Zhang Enming led the army to successfully repel more than 20,000 enemies in Qiangkui, and now the sense of crisis in Daidi has been temporarily eliminated."
Li Mu still said with a heavy heart: "This is indeed exciting good news, but at this time, the Qin army has formed a siege of Handan, and the Zhao State is in danger."
At this time, Zhao Cong ran in panting and said, "General... No, it's not good, the Qin general Cao Cheng led his army to attack Feixia, and after they occupied Feixia, they adopted the method of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and expanded many defense areas and strongholds, Tucheng, completely cutting off our communication with Dongyuan and Daidi.
Hearing this, Li Mu hammered the table hard and said, "Damn, now that the Qin army has completely cut our Zhao Kingdom into two parts, they want to consume our living force one by one."
After that, Li Mu began to deploy and decided to abandon the two cities of Yi'an and Chili, and then led the army to move the people to the interior, leaving only two empty cities for the Qin army.
Inside Higashigaki Castle
Liu Xiang and the others also learned everything Cao Cheng said to do, Jiang Chen looked at the map and said: "Feixia lost Cao Cheng and Jianbi Qingye completely isolated us and Daidi, and then the Qin army will definitely attack Dongyuan's idea, we must prepare early."
Now there are only two ways in front of us, one is to lead the whole army to abandon the city and go south to find the enemy's weak point to break through, but then the losses of our army will be incalculable, and the other is to unite with Daidi, which can be considered."
Liu Xiang looked at the map and thought carefully for a while and said: "Daidi has just lifted the crisis, although it defeated Qiangkui, it was a bit miserable, the people finally returned to their old lives, we must not let the war burn to Daidi again."
As for the breakthrough to the south, I think it's okay, but even though it is a Qin army that we can't afford to break through, we should think about how the general should prepare now."
Jiang Chen said: "If I were a general, I would definitely give up Yi'an and Chili, and lead the whole army to move the people to the interior to prepare for the defense of Handan."
Liu Xiang nodded and said: "That's right, this is the best way in front of the general, I think the general at this time should choose this path, but guess is speculation, we should get in touch with the general as soon as possible."
After the deliberations were over, Liu Xiang arranged the precautionary work again, everyone received the order to slowly walk out of the county office, Liu Xiang closed his eyes and tested this strategy, and after a while, a plan came into his mind, Liu Xiang carefully looked at the map to make specific arrangements.
On the Qin army's side, Yan Feng after half a month of campaign, successfully conquered several Zhao army used to defend the earthen city, Yan Feng learned that Cao Cheng had occupied Feixia, then led the army to Feixia and Cao Cheng to attack Dongyuan, not long after tens of thousands of Qin troops wearing black iron armor have arrived at Dongyuan outside the city of a hundred miles.
At this time, the junior colonel had already come to report the news that the Qin army was about to enter the city, Liu Xiang quickly pushed everything up, hurriedly summoned the generals back, and said first: "I have sent two teams of infantry scouts to tell them to cross the blockade line to reach Yi'an no matter what, so that the general must temporarily abandon the city and wait for us."
Cao Cheng knew that we were waiting for a great force and would pour the whole army to attack, and when the enemy army approached the city, there would not be much defense with the outer passage of Yi'an, so he would be defeated with this strategy I had just thought of."
Liu Xiang instructed: "Send people to post notices everywhere to tell the residents: Regardless of men, women, and children who are willing to follow us, they will follow us today to break through to Yi'an for a while, and there will be no delay."
It was also reported that Zhang Gong led hundreds of people to vote, and Liu Xiang incorporated Zhang Gong and this group of men and horses into the army, and at the same time sent Cheng Qu to the river outside the city to allocate boats to relieve the people.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiang said to Lu Lian: "You lead a thousand troops to the river outside the city to ambush, bring more cloth bags filled with sand and soil, block the river, and after the third watch tomorrow, only listen to the neighing of the lower people, then remove the cloth bag and flood it, and then kill it along the river to respond."
changed Ye Zhao and Han Yongdao again: "The two of you lead a thousand troops to the river crossing outside the city to ambush, the water is the slowest here, and the Qin army will flee from here if it is flooded, so you will take advantage of the situation to cover up."
He also said to Han Chao and Zhang Gong: "The two of you lead 3,000 troops and horses to divide into four teams, Han Chao leads a team to ambush outside the east gate, and the other three teams are led by Zhang Gong to ambush at the west, south, and north gates respectively.
After dusk tomorrow, but seeing the wind rising, he ordered the west, south, and north ambush troops to shoot rockets into the city, and wait for the fire in the city to be loud, so that it is convenient to shout and cheer outside the city, leaving only the east gate to let him go, Han Chao waited for the enemy army to go out of the city, and led the army to cover up, and the two generals of Lu and Han were rounded in the morning, and the army was collected back to Yi'an.
Liu Xiang continued to instruct Liu Xi and Lu Yi. To learn more about how Liu Xiang defeated the Qin army, see the next breakdown.
