Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Soldiers Descend on the City (I)

The remnant sun went west, ten miles north of Yiyang City, Xiang Shou looked at the north with a solemn face, as if he was waiting for some big man.

If there are Yiyang locals here, they will definitely be surprised to find that from the Taishou downward, all the officials in charge of Yiyang, large and small, have gathered here. What kind of person has such a big face, and actually works to greet Taishou ten miles out of the city, and the answer in the hearts of people with a little common sense is about to come out, if it is not for the king's grandson, he must be the king's cronies.

Xiang Shou is already in the year of the sixtieth year, and he has experienced ups and downs in this life, and he has experienced all kinds of things. As a playmate who grew up with the current King of Qin, he was favored and deposed. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xuan's pity for his former ruler of Yiyang, if it weren't for Yiyang's predecessor who was too conservative to embezzle food and wages, Xiang Shou would still be trapped in Xianyang.

Therefore, he is very satisfied with the current high position and the ruling party. Even now that he had to deign to greet Bai Qi, who had been under him, Xiang Shou had no complaints, even if his party had been waiting for more than half an hour.

In the last touch of the sunset, the white army of 100,000 finally appeared on the horizon. The black army marched slowly but surely like a mountain, and there was no sound from the whole procession except the sound of horses' hooves and the creaking of wheels.

On the side of the Luoshui River, with the wave of the Chinese army's order flag, the entire army stopped at once. The consequence of the neat pace from movement to stillness was to provoke an earth dragon, and what was terrifying was that even if he was trapped in the earth dragon, no one coughed.

Soon, some of the scouts carefully measured the thickness of the ice, estimated whether it could accommodate the passage of the army, and then quickly returned to the Chinese army. As soon as the Chinese army ordered the flag, all the soldiers on the war horses dismounted, and the next moment, the army automatically divided into several groups and crossed the river in turn.

Xiang Shou's expression became more and more respectful, and he didn't dare to come forward to disturb. When the Chinese army of the Qin army passed by Xiang Shou and his party, a carriage finally stopped. A slightly tired general jumped out of the carriage and stood in front of Xiang Shou.

"Yiyang Taishou Xiang Shou and all the officials in charge of Yiyang visited Wu Anjun." Xiang Shou was the first to speak.

"Meet Wu Anjun!" Behind Xiang Shou came a voice of excitement, reverence, or compliment.

"Xiang Taishou is polite, everyone is polite." Bai Qi arched his hand in gratitude.

"Wu Anjun came from afar, and the lower officials prepared some thin wine for Wu Anjun to wash the dust and catch the wind, and asked Wu Anjun to move to the city."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm busy with military affairs, so I won't bother you."

Bai Qi waved his hand, and then said, "Now the king is worried about the war, and the courtiers should share the worries of the king. Therefore, he did not dare to delay in the next moment, and hurriedly led the army to come. Yiyang is close to the front line, I don't know how the war is now? ”

Xiang Shou was not polite, and immediately replied, "Back to Wu Anjun, since the defeat of Huyang, Zhao, Wei, and Han took advantage of the victory to pursue and opened the gate of Yique with a small number of troops. Now Yique is in the hands of the Three Kingdoms. According to the scout's reply, now Zhao, Wei, and Han have a total of 200,000 troops, of which 40,000 Han troops are stationed in Yique, and 100,000 Zhao troops and 60,000 Wei troops are camped outside the north gate and south gate respectively. ”

"Hmm", Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is there any new news in the direction of the wild king?" Is the news of Hu Yang's defeat true? ”

"On the Yewang side, South Korea has mobilized a large army, and now there are no less than 150,000 Korean troops on the front line of Yewang, Chenggao, and Xinzheng. It is said that in order to strengthen the defense of this area, the city garrison on the border between Korea and Zhao and Wei is quite empty, and most of them are currently defending the city! ”

After a pause, Xiang Shou continued, "Hu Yang's 100,000 army has indeed been wiped out. According to reliable sources, there are three reasons why our army was defeated so quickly: first, Hu Yang was greedy for merit and reckless; Second, Korea secretly formed a heavy cavalry, which caused nearly 20,000 casualties to our army in the Battle of Yewang; Third, the Zhao army secretly sneaked up to attack our army, and our army was afraid of being surrounded and annihilated under the condition of heavy losses, so it had to break through the encirclement, but fell into an ambush. ”

"I've heard of Lian Po's trick," Bai Qi sighed.

The successive blows inevitably shook Hu Yang's confidence, and once a master general has a fearful heart, it will be difficult to win. Forget it, people are already dead, and it's too late to say anything.

I heard that Hu Yang finally shouted to kill the enemy and died, so he was worthy of his prestige for Great Qin. Presumably, Han, Zhao, and Wei are happy now! But don't worry, I'll use the heads of these 200,000 enemy soldiers to pay tribute to the dead souls of the Qin State.

Bai Qi secretly remembered the Qin army that died in battle, and asked with an unchanged face, "South Korea has formed a heavy cavalry?" That's kind of interesting. Did the intelligence say how many people there were? ”

"It is said that there are only 3,000 people, and considering the losses of the Wild King in the first battle, it is now at least more than 2,000 people." Xiang Shou thought about it and reported a more reasonable number.

"Hmmm! That's all, right? ”

"Yes, that's all there is to it so far. The lower officials are incompetent, and now South Korea has a very strict blockade of news, and it is really not easy to get it. ”

"It's already very good to keep your words."

Bai Qi encouraged and said: "The army will be stationed outside the city tonight, and there will be too much worry about food and salary. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, this is the duty of the lower officials. Wu Anjun has orders, and the lower officials will go all out to complete it. ”

"So good! When the time comes, I will personally take credit for the Taishou! ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, just after midnight, the Qin army, which had rested all night, restarted. At the same time, after the scouts of the coalition army found out the news of the arrival of Baiqi's army in Yiyang that night, the MarchΓ© people did not stop, and after changing five horses in a row, they finally passed this urgent military information to the army.

Yique City, Taishou Mansion.

The commanders of the three armies of Han, Zhao, and Wei gathered together. The battle report that Bai Qi's 100,000 troops had arrived in Huayang was placed in front of everyone, and the battle report also said that 100,000 Qin troops had urgently set off from Xianyang to help. According to the itinerary, it will be as short as seven days and as little as ten days to arrive at the foot of Yique City. At that time, there were 200,000 Qin soldiers surrounding Yique, and the most important thing was that their commander was called Bai Qi.

"In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements have not arrived and strike first. If one of them can be destroyed, the subsequent defense of the city will be much better. "Lian Po took the lead in building yì road.

For Bai Qi, Lian Po has a strong fighting spirit. This is the pride of being a famous player at the same time, and this is the joy of meeting opponents.

Although the Qin army's combat effectiveness is strong, it is by no means invincible. What's more, Bai Qi is now a lone army, but he has Yique as his backing, and he can attack and retreat.

With 90,000 Zhao State iron cavalry against 100,000 Qin State strong troops, his own winning chance is at least fifty percent, and this is still not counting the support of friendly forces (Han Army, Wei Army). After all, the Zhao army, which came and went like the wind, had the biggest advantage over the Qin army, which was marching slowly, and that was speed.

It's just a pity that King Zhao's order is to support the Korean army to a limited extent. He would never allow himself to fight to the death with the Qin State in order to rescue South Korea, and he suffered heavy damage.

Therefore, in Lian Po's plan, it is still very promising to encircle and annihilate a Qin army in a short period of time with the Wei army and the Han army as bait, and relying on the strong impact of Zhao Guo's iron cavalry. It not only demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, shocked the Qin army, but also did not disobey the orders of King Zhao.

"I agree with General Lian that the Bai Qi army has come from afar, and we can just wait for work. If you give up such a good opportunity, it will be even more difficult to win when the reinforcements arrive. Jin contempt agreed.

That's what I mean. According to General Lian's wishes, as soon as the Qin army arrives, we will give him a dismount. Let Bai Qi know that our Sanjin is not easy to mess with. The storm kite, who has won consecutive big victories, also said in high spirits.

Prince Ran thought the same in his heart, after all, the three armies of Zhao, Wei, and Han had just annihilated 100,000 Qin troops, and if they couldn't shrink just because of Bai Qi's reputation, it would really hurt morale. It's just that the use of soldiers in vain is treacherous, and it is not okay.

Thinking of this, the prince spoke, "Bai Qi is like a god in using soldiers, everyone should be careful." Although Bai Qi's army set off from Yiyang today, looking at the battles under his command, there was no lack of overnight attacks. Therefore, everyone should be careful that the Qin army will raid the camp outside the city tonight. ”

Everyone said yes one after another, and after some discussion, they went back to their camps to prepare for war.
