Hedong County, Qishi City.

The blood-colored remnant sun was sprinkled on the land of this Fen River Valley, reflecting a touch of bright red. The air is filled with a choking smell of burning, and the mourning war horses, the ** soldiers, and the excited crows constitute a watercolor painting between heaven and earth, or rather, purgatory on earth, which is more appropriate.

The young Wang Jian leaned on the battle flag with his back, panting like an old cow, in order to recover his body. Five days ago, the combined forces of the Zhao and Wei armies made a dangerous move, entered the hinterland of Zhongtiao Mountain, which was more than 300 miles long, and then raided Ruiyang and attacked the flank of the Qin army. The Qin army did not notice it for a while, and even lost Fangyang and Xie County, until it withdrew to Qishi City, and it was only after it could stabilize the battle line.

From then on, the armies of Zhao and Wei must have stormed the Qin camp several times a day, and each time they were willing to give up after leaving corpses all over the ground. After a month and a half of fighting, the combined forces of Zhao and Wei have established layers of defense lines against Xihe and Zhongtiao Mountain, and if they can advance more than 100 miles, the Qin army will have to go north to Taiyuan County, so as not to suffer from the enemy on their backs.

At present, the combined forces of Zhao and Wei still have 120,000 troops on the front line, and the Qin army still has 80,000 left, so the Qin army can only take a defensive position. For the Qin army, as long as they can keep the territory of more than 100 miles west of Anyi and survive for two months, the shape will definitely change greatly. Zhao and Wei also knew this, so they took advantage of the advantage in strength to storm the Qin camp.

Although the Qin army defeated the opponent's attacks again and again, they were also physically and mentally exhausted. More importantly, the secret agents in the army said that Wei and Han had already sent troops, and the shape became extremely unfavorable to the Qin army.

"Captain Wang, the prime minister asks you to come over to discuss the military situation."

Wang Jian was worried about the war when a herald's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Whoa! Please tell the prime minister, and this will be the end. Wang Jian patted his buttocks, stood up, and said.

Half a month ago, because Wang Jian annihilated nearly 10,000 Wei troops and killed a lieutenant of the Wei army, he was unusually promoted to the position of captain by Wei Ran, becoming the youngest captain in the whole army. Such a record is almost comparable to that of Bai Qi back then. However, this also led the "seniors" in the army to be dissatisfied with Wang Qian, a rising star.

Qin Army, Chinese Military Tent.

Wei Ran glanced at the generals on both sides, not angry. Seeing the awe-inspiring expressions of the generals, Wei Ran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now Han and Wei have gathered 50,000 troops to invade our Hedong, and now they have arrived in the Xin'an area. I, Wang Shengming, sent the guard captain Wang Liao to lead an army of 40,000 to help, and it must be five days before we arrive. The prime minister hopes that in these five days, the generals will be able to take the lead and kill the enemy in blood to repay the king's kindness. ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals said in unison.

"Well, the faithful kings can see it."

Praising the generals, Wei Ran continued: "In order to prevent the enemy from cutting off our rear route, the prime minister ordered that Wang Jian be the main general and Yang Duanhe should be the deputy general, and 15,000 troops should be stationed in Wu County (note: north of today's Pinglu), and the enemy army must be blocked for more than five days. The rest of the congregation will strictly guard the camp, and there shall be no mistake, understand? ”

"Whoa!"

"Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe stay, and the rest of the people will retreat!" Wei Ran waved his hand and retreated from everyone.

"Prime Minister!" Wang Qian, Yang Duanhe wanted to speak and stopped.

Although it was a bit dangerous to defend against the 50,000 Han and Wei coalition forces, this was the first time that the two of them had led the army alone, and the excitement was more than the nervousness. You must know that Wang Jian is only twenty-five years old, and Yang Duanhe has just turned twenty-two, Wei Ran dares to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern and vigorously promote them, which really makes the two of them both moved and afraid that they will not do well.

"Needless to say, I believe that with the talents of both of you, you are up to the task. It was just five days to resist the Han and Wei armies. In five days, the army of the Captain will arrive. Wei Ran said with a smile.

"Prime Minister Xie!" Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe couldn't hear that this was the prime minister's intention to promote himself and give him military merits, so they thanked him one after the other and left.

After a while, a man dressed as a literati walked in and said suspiciously: "The prime minister is not afraid of Mu Xiu Yulin if he elevates these two people like this?" ”

"Hehe, then there must be a wind to urge! Wu Anjun is already following me at this age, it's a pity! Now it's time to drift away. Wei Ran said with emotion.

The visitor was silent and did not answer.

Wei Ran didn't mind either, and asked, "How is the Taoli Plan prepared?" ”

The person who came looked dazed, and said cautiously: "The past is there, only the east wind is owed." ”

Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

The Qin and Zhao armies have been facing each other for more than 40 days, except for the fierce fighting in the first few days, the back is more like a gurgling stream, which looks like a turbulent on the surface, but is actually undisturbed. For nearly a month, the two armies have been constantly reinforcing the camps and digging ditches. The only confrontation came from the scouts and baggage teams of both sides, and the scouts were indispensable because they were scouting each other. The baggage team is to fetch water and deliver food, and it is rare to encounter small-scale sneak attacks from the other side.

Bai Qi also thought about cutting off Zhao Jun's grain route, but he was separated by the long Jin River, and he was powerless. Zhao transferred another 30,000 troops from Handan and stationed them in Yuci City opposite the Jin River. Moreover, the Zhao army was extremely cautious, and each time the grain was transported, at least 10,000 troops escorted it, and the Qin army would not die in vain when it was impossible to succeed in a sneak attack.

Lian Po had no intention of detouring behind the Qin army to attack, but the south of Jinyang no longer belonged to the Zhao State at all. The scouts of the Qin army were full of scouts within a radius of a hundred miles, and they did not resist the reconnaissance of the Zhao army, and even retreated as soon as they encountered the Zhao army, but this made Lian Po unwilling to take risks. The Zhao army has a numerical advantage, but even a slight numerical advantage can only withstand the Qin army.

As for the assault, it is completely out of the minds of both sides. Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, in the end is not cheaper than other countries? Therefore, both sides are patiently waiting for the fighter, as long as the other side exposes the loophole and catches it by itself, it will be a fatal blow.

In the camp of the Qin army, Bai Qi listened to the report of the deputy general Wang Ling, and was silent in thought. Nanyang County was actually lost, and it was defeated by South Korea. This seems to Bai Qi to be quite incredible. There are 80,000 soldiers in Nanyang County, and the army that South Korea can send is no more than 100,000, so why did it take only half a month to lose it!

Reminiscent of a few months ago, South Korea recaptured the twenty-three cities of Neishi County and relocated them to Sanchuan County (note: it was originally set up by King Xuan of Han, and later obtained by Qin, and returned to Neishi County, and was redivided into Sanchuan County after the unification of Qin), and at the same time divided the twenty cities south of Yewang into Yingchuan County, so that Korea unknowingly owned the land of four counties and doubled its strength. At the same time, South Korea is sitting on Wuguan, and it can invade the hinterland of Guanzhong at any time, which is really a problem for Qin's henchmen!

Bai Qi secretly thought that when this battle was won, he must persuade King Qin to attack Korea. South Korea has begun to threaten the security of Qin, and if South Korea is allowed to recuperate for three and five years, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it.

Although Han and Wei had already sent troops, Xianyang also sent reinforcements. Therefore, for the Hedong battlefield, Bai Qi only needs to pay attention. What matters now is how to drag down the Zhao army as much as possible and reduce the casualties of the Qin State. Bai Qi knows very well that the grain and grass transported every day are the vitality of the Qin State!

"Perhaps, now we can use that strategy." Bai Qi made up his mind.

(Two more sent!) Have a great weekend everyone! ）
