Chapter Seventy-Four: Asking the Gentleman's Will (Part II)
He Ran, who didn't dare to delay for a moment, led his troops back to the previous battle line when it was still late,
Zhao Min and Jing Yuan this time with troops in a hurry and ruthless, after the east to resist the Shun army was transferred, the two troops immediately launched a counteroffensive, the total strength is not less than 70,000, Xu Tong is less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, he and Kong Lin want to resist and retreat according to the prior agreement, do not want the Zhao army to intersperse from behind, Xu Tong was besieged in Shoucheng, Kong Lin was also suppressed by the Zhao army and could not divide the troops to rescue, the situation has been extremely critical,
Wang Jin, who arrived first, was blocked thirty miles away from Shoucheng, and several strong attacks failed to break through the enemy's defense line.
This is a vicious battle that no one can retreat, after looking at the terrain, He Ran took out Shi Lang's geographical map and carefully considered it, and after a while, Wang Jin said: "We can win by fighting hard, but the enemy has the advantage of the territory, and the loss of this battle will be huge." ”
"What a clever plan does the military advisor have?" Wang Jin frowned and asked,
He Ran pondered for a moment, drew on the geographical map with his hand, and said, "I want you to take 10,000 horses to bypass Shoucheng from the east to cut off the back road of the Zhao army, um......" He thought about it and couldn't help moving his fingers forward, and finally pointed at Antler City, "Attack here, you see how it goes." ”
Wang Jin took a breath, and his face changed slightly: "The adult wants to swallow Zhao Jun, this is really ...... If this battle is fought......"
He Ran shook his head slightly and said: "Look at this formation, Zhao Min is determined to come out of the nest this time, and he is determined to annihilate a few of our troops, if he dares to play with me, then I will let him see who is more ruthless, I am rounding the posture to scare him, if he wants to bet, then let's play with him really, although we are not as strong as Zhao Jun, but we are not weaker than him in terms of combat strength, we should have been out of Zhao Min's expectation to rush back so quickly, you have marched all the way to the army." ”
"Zhang Yang marched into the army, will the Zhao people think that we are bluffing but are not afraid of us." Wang Jin said worriedly,
"Their rear is already empty, your 10,000 army is enough to cut off its back road, I just want to make it clear and ask Zhao Min if he wants to gamble, this kind of capital bluff to see if he is afraid, march quickly, I ordered Dagan's 1,000 soldiers to be the vanguard for you, send more horses along the way, if the Zhao army returns to the defense, if you don't go back, you will take Shoucheng and cut off the main roads, I will immediately transfer some soldiers and horses from the country to make preparations with both hands."
"But Shunguo's ......" Wang Jin was a little worried,
"Bai Gongbo is busy calculating Dingyang City, most of the soldiers and horses of Shun are over there, I think he doesn't have the leisure to fight our idea, how can he have to lay down Dingyang and think about something else, besides, we have to guard against the attack of Fanbang, we compete with the two tigers of Zhao State, he can't wait to see the excitement, the wisest strategy is to take the opportunity to grab a lot of undefended land in Zhao State, and he can't come over to wade into troubled waters, because it is not good for Shun to help either side win, and it is best to lose both, if he stirs us up a big defeat, Then Zhao Guo will immediately take advantage of the situation to clean up Shunguo. ”
Wang Jin's brows stretched, "That's the truth, if Shun wants to help, it should also help us, if the main force of the Zhao army is defeated, there will be land to be fished, and both Yi and Shun can make a fortune." ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of He Ran's mouth, and said: "I haven't told you yet, I ordered He Heng to flank the Shun army to help the Zhao army defend the city when Dingyang is in danger, and once you tear your face, don't point at the Shun army to help us." ”
"Ahh Wang Jin opened his mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time,
"Don't worry, Bai Gongbo is not a willful person, and he will not retaliate against us for this matter, he knows the truth that the overall situation is important."
"I hope so." Wang Jin was very uneasy, "Then the general will order troops, adults must be careful, the Zhao army on the opposite side has a lot of troops, and there are only 5,000 people here." ”
He Ran said with a smile: "Don't worry, most of the generals who send reinforcements are people who choose to hold on to them, whether it is Jing Yu or Zhao Min, besides, knowing that our army has turned back, no general dares to attack rashly, I guess he must be praying that God can hold this place firmly now, this is what he can't ask for, but you have to be careful, and the march is easy to ambush." ”
Wang Jin nodded and said, "The end will be extremely cautious. ”
"Go ahead, don't wait for Dagan, he'll be able to catch up soon."
After Wang Jin left, He Ran kept pacing in the big tent, the situation developed into the current state was something he didn't expect before, Zhao Jun came too fast, before the expedition, he made preparations that this battle might last for a long time, but that was the worst plan, relying on these soldiers and horses at hand to deal with it, it was nothing more than a confrontation and mutual attack, but now the situation is even worse than that, we must be prepared to break the net,
Before sitting back a few cases, he wrote a secret letter and handed it to Hongqi, asking him to immediately hand it over to the person in charge of flying pigeons in charge of the battalion to send to Pingcheng, and then called Zhong Zheng, told him about the current situation in detail, and instructed: "The flying pigeon biography is just to let Shi Xiangling transfer troops as soon as possible, and it is difficult to describe it in detail due to limited space, you hurry over, tell the details of the things here with Shi Xiangling, so that he has a bottom in his heart, and at the same time ask him to use the flying pigeon station in Pingcheng to send a message to King Fan in my name, and ask King Fan to draw a force of men and horses to press the good situation no matter what, and make a crusade." , just make the posture enough, don't attack rashly. ”
Then he sent someone back to Ming Zhongcheng to report to Su Pingjiang, so that he could be ready to move Pingcheng at any time, summon Zangxian Valley, let the defenders raise their vigilance, and send Su Ming to let him pay close attention to the movements of the Shun army on the other side of the Rolling Dragon River, and summon Xiao Xiao to let her order Xiangguo to increase troops on the Rolling Dragon River and press the good situation.
After a series of deployments were completed, his heart couldn't help but move, and he secretly shuddered, so that Yiguo, Xiangguo, and Fanbang were mobilized by themselves, this movement was too big, and if it really developed into the most unfavorable situation, it would be a chaotic war, and the final result would be unpredictable.
The matter has come to this point and there is no turning back, he walked out of the big tent, ordered the banner of the military division to be erected, and Zhao Guo is now fighting a dignified battle, both sides of their respective strengths are well known, since they want to play bravely and ruthlessly, then they are all put on the table, if you can't scare Zhao Min, there is nothing to say, there is nothing fancy to fight on this one, the rest is to fight hard,
Zhao Jun is in charge of blocking the reinforcements here Du Cai General Lu Wang's tongue has been sores in the past two days, the Shun army is too fast to help, and the offensive is unusual, he is very unsure that he can hold on for a few days like this, and he can't stop sending a report to the king of Zhao to ask for reinforcements, when he heard the lookout post report that the Yi army has a strange movement, he hurriedly came out to climb the heights and looked, this look can't help but change his face drastically, the color of the clothes of the soldiers in the other camp is already different, countless black-clothed soldiers are busy in and out, black robes, this is originally the sign of the children of Zangxian Valley, Later, it evolved into the elite clothing of the Yi army, but only the most elite about 20,000 soldiers were qualified to wear this clothing.
When Lu Wang's heart was flustered and his legs were weak, a light blue flag slowly rose, he didn't need to look at the words on it He also knew that only the banner of the military division among the generals of Yi Guo was light blue, He Ran rushed back, his head was dizzy for a while, when he was ordered, King Zhao told himself that it was impossible for Yi Jun to come back in a short time, it seemed that all this was a trap set by He Ran, and his military advisor Jing Yuan was on the throne again.
"Urgent report, urgent report, urgent report King He Ran is here, we have been tricked." He was almost crying and ordering,
Just sent away the person who reported the incident, the spy reported that a group of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Yi army went to the north, and the march was very urgent.
"Urgent report, urgent report, urgent report that King Yi Jun wants to cut us off." Lu Wang is worthy of being a veteran of battle, and he reacted immediately,
The generals under the account have never seen the old general so flustered, except for the urgent report, it seems that they will not do anything, but no one thinks it is funny, they all know the danger of the battle array, looking at the situation in front of them, their side seems to have miscalculated, most of He Ran's army is not transferred to Dingyang as the king expected, this is the way to lure the enemy deep, to annihilate their main force,
