The one hundred and second round: Before the attack
After Wang Peng sent the envoy away, there was a nervous atmosphere on his face, and Ju Cheng learned that a messenger had arrived when he was leading the troops outside the tent and walked into the big tent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Before Ju Cheng could speak, Wang Peng couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and kicked over the wooden desk next to him, and the things on the desk fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Wang Jian Lao'er, don't you know that there is only the Great Wall in front of me except for a wilderness, and you still want me to risk the destruction of the whole army to attack Wucheng, an important town in the southwest of Zhao State, and just served as the commander of Zhao and put up a shelf to order Lao Tzu without looking at the actual situation, isn't it just that I have been in the army for a few more years?"
After listening to what Wang Peng seemed to be talking to himself, Ju Cheng said: "General, now that Wang Jian has given the order, then whether we listen or not."
Zhao Wu and Lu Feng also rushed to the big tent together after learning the news of the envoy sent by Wang Qian, and just after walking outside the tent, they heard the conversation between Wang Peng and Ju Cheng.
Zhao Wujin said to the two: "Listen, how to listen, there is only the well-defended Great Wall in front of our army at the moment, and there is only one Wucheng known as the southwest town of Zhao State, and now with Li Xin's tens of thousands of horses, even if you conquer Wucheng, you will suffer heavy casualties, and there will be a risk of being destroyed by other soldiers and horses of the Zhao army."
Lu Feng walked out from behind Zhao Wu and said: "But the old general has already given an order, and he is now our boss and it is not easy to disobey, besides, there are rumors in the army that heavy rain is coming soon, and we should also look for a place for soldiers and horses to shelter from the rain."
Wang Peng walked in front of everyone, sneered twice with a gloomy face, and whispered: "Do you listen to me or listen to him."
"We would like to listen to the general"
After listening to everyone's reply, Wang Peng said: "Okay, since you are willing to listen to me, then obey my instructions, and I will not care about the life and death of the brothers like Wang Qian, just now I have dealt with the envoy so that Li Xin will not be informed.
Li Xin, I will deal with it in person for a while, you still lead the troops to practice as usual, as for the siege of the city, you can't attack the martial city for the time being, you go down and continue to perform your duties, and it is forbidden for the soldiers to rumor that the heavy rain is coming, and those who violate it will be beheaded to disturb the morale of the army."
After hearing this, everyone went out of the account and went separately, Wang Peng just told the generals that they would deal with it, but in his heart he still planned to ignore Li Xin first, here Li Xin saw that the soldiers and horses had been stationed and did not move, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and walked to Wang Peng's big tent in person.
After entering Wang Peng's tent, he said to him without waiting for Wang Peng to ask: "General Wang, we have been stationed here for more than a month, and several other groups of men and horses have conquered many places, when will we continue to march." ,
"Li Xin, I was just going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, let's see if we can take Wucheng with the strength of our two armies at present."
Li Xin showed a different expression on his face after hearing this, because he didn't seem to be able to figure out why Wang Peng wanted to attack Wucheng, and seeing the confident smile on Wang Peng's face, he said puzzledly:
"What kind of march wants to attack Wucheng, it is known as the southwest town of Zhao State, this place is connected to the Great Wall by Zhangshui, and the north is the tun grain base Nanfanwu, it is said that this city is garrisoned by Zhao Guoxiao Qiu Hao.
Qiu Hao, although he was young, fought very bravely, five years ago with Lian Po defeated the army led by me, he rushed into our army with a big sword in his hand, and cooperated with the rest of the Zhao army to stir up our army and finally forced me to order the retreat.
Now he is leading 50,000 troops to garrison Wucheng, not to mention how he and his soldiers and horses are, the terrain around Wucheng is dangerous and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, so I think it is absolutely impossible to attack Wucheng at this time, if Handan City breaks Wucheng, it will definitely surrender without a fight."
After hearing this, the corners of Wang Peng's mouth rose and smiled lightly, and said: "Is General Li once defeated by Qiu Hao, so he is so afraid of him until now, and he has begun to praise him for being so powerful, but there is some truth in what you said Handan will not fight as soon as the Wucheng is broken, and the matter of attacking the Wucheng will be stopped for the time being, and your soldiers will continue to practice."
"That's it."
After Li Xin finished speaking, he withdrew.
Another day later
In the Qin army camp under the Yanpo slope, Wang Ben ran into the big tent of the Chinese army in small steps and reported: "Father, the rain gear of the soldiers of the three armies is basically ready, and the grain depot has also ordered someone to increase the base by three feet and add a moisture-proof device, the top has been changed to a sloping roof and tiled thatch is laid to prevent rain leakage, and several large camp tents have been erected to place equipment to avoid the rain."
"Okay, well done, look at the cumulus clouds in the sky and the heavy rain will soon come, so arrange our army to survive the rain safely, and immediately after the rain, send troops to take down the Zhao army to shoot the Yanpo fortress"
As soon as the words fell, Suo Xing ran into the tent and said to Wang Qian: "General, according to the colonel, according to the colonel's investigation, Wang Peng and Li Xin's army stationed outside the Great Wall in southwest Zhao still have no intention of acting, and a large number of troops have been gathered on the east side of Handan to form a defense area and the horns of the East Acropolis are mutually represented, and Lingchuan's soldiers and horses have failed to move forward many times, so they retreated and camped for fifty miles."
"Ling Chuan also led the army to storm the Zhao Guodong Acropolis defense area several times, so why did Wang Peng still stand still until now?"
Wang Ben on the side said: "Father, there is only the Great Wall of Zhao in front of Wang Peng, this Great Wall is the southwest defense line of Handan and Zhangshui and called the southwest barrier of Handan.
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "No, there is another city in front of him called Wucheng, the periphery of this city is connected to the Great Wall of Zhao and is connected by Zhangshui, which can be described as an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, Wang Peng must have already looked at this city, and at the same time he also saw the geographical situation of Wucheng, so he did not attack."
Suo Xing said: "That Wucheng is known as the southern part of the Zhao country, stationed in Wucheng is Zhao general Qiu Hao, although young but very brave, five years ago he broke Li Xinbu's position and finally made Li Xin defeated by Lian Po, now he is stationed in Wucheng with 50,000 troops to defend the danger."
After hearing this, Wang Jian summoned the messenger and said: "You go and order Wang Peng to attack Wucheng, clearly tell him that now is not the time to preserve his strength, and at the same time tell him to pay attention to the rain and pay attention to the Zhao army to take advantage of the rain to attack."
After receiving the order, the envoy stepped on a war horse and went to the southeast, at this time the Zhao army also arranged a series of rainproof measures in the top fortress of Yanpo, Liu Xiang personally led the soldiers to strengthen the first line of defense at the walled gate, Lu Rui, Liu Xi, and Lu Yi respectively took a part of the men and horses to make up and collect grain and grass.
An equipment battalion was added to the fortress, and the soldiers in the battalion used local materials to build defensive equipment, and the soldiers of the Qin army under the mountain also continued to practice and wait for the day of attack.
I don't know what Wang Peng, who received the order to attack Wucheng, will do......
