Chapter 21: The Battle of Hedong (I)

Hedong County, Anyi.

Since Taiwei Tyrant Kite learned that the soldiers of the Qin State were pressing the border, he led an army of 20,000 to rush to the aid of Hedong, counting the original 50,000 troops in Hedong, and now the number of soldiers who can fight in Hedong has reached 70,000! And this is already half of the number of corporals under the command of Storm Kite!

On the first line of Hedong, Sanchuan, and Nanyang, the most vulnerable to the Qin army is none other than Hedong County. To guard Nanyang, you only need to guard Wuguan. Even if the state of Chu changes its mind and attacks Nanyang against the Han River, South Korea can also rely on the pass of Deng County to resist the enemy! Guarding Sankawa is simpler, just guarding Hanya Pass. Hangu Pass is not broken, and the Qin army is just a lone army even if it goes downstream! Don't worry!

Hedong County is different, on the one hand, Hedong ruled the Qin State for decades, and then belonged to Wei and then Han, and the people's hearts were not attached; In the two, Hedong County is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. On the surface, it seems that the mountains and rivers on the surface are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in fact, they are not. To the west of Hedong County was the upper county of Qin, to the north was Taiyuan of Zhao State, and to the south was a small part of Qin's Neishi County, and Qin State could exert pressure on Korea from three directions. Moreover, across the turbulent river, South Korea cannot know the reality of the other party, so it can only disperse its forces to defend it.

It is with these factors in mind that Storm Kite attaches so much importance to Hedong County. Especially on the other side of the river, it is the killing god Bai Qi, and almost the place where he appears is where the main force of the Qin State is! Therefore, Storm Kite was very suspicious that the ultimate goal of the Qin State was Hedong County. Of course, the way of using troops, fiction and reality, before fully seeing the offensive of the Qin army, is all speculation.

With Taiwei Tyrant Kite in charge, the hearts of the people in Hedong have obviously settled down. The continuous war over the years is really a kind of torture for Hedong! Although it is not possible to talk about filial piety, more than half of the families have lost their husbands, fathers or sons. Just by looking at the fact that most of the men in Hedong are half-grown boys who are hungry and cold, and most of the adult men are disabled, we know that the wounds of war are by no means erased lightly.

When Storm Kite led his army to Anyi, he once passed through a village, and what impressed him the most was that the children here were thinly dressed, and it was late autumn, and the weather was already cold. But the child was still wearing a single coat. For the army led by himself, the violent kite can clearly see that the child's eyes are more excited than afraid, envy rather than nervous.

When Storm Kite asks him how his family is doing, the child replies that his father died in battle a few years ago and is only raised by his mother. The kite-like asked him if his life was hard, and the child wiped his snot on the side. On the one hand, he replied that it was sad every year, every day was difficult, and it would be good to wait for him to grow up! Because when he grows up, he can join the army and make meritorious contributions, like his father, to be a hundred generals! South Korea's treatment is good, he doesn't have to worry about his mother who died in the war and has no one to take care of him! The kite-like asked him how much food he had left at home, and the child replied that he had used it to pay off his debts! There will be hunger this year, but it will never be as hard as the previous two years!

The storm kite pondered for a long time and sighed deeply. I gave the other party some of the money I had brought with me! Unexpectedly, the other party refused! The tyrannical kite didn't understand what it meant, you know, although his wealth is not much, but for this poor family, it can always solve the urgent need! The child replied that the incorruptible man was not subject to food, and that he and the tycoon were not related to each other. It's not right to accept a gift from a storm kite for no reason!

But the tyrannical kite clearly saw the other party's desire, so he played a little clever. Don't say give, but borrow! Even in order to make the other party believe, he told the other party his address and name, and solemnly asked for the other party's name and asked the other party to write a receipt!

The child accepted it with satisfaction, he knew how to measure. did not accept the wealth that could be used by his mother and son for a year, but only took thirty cloth coins! It seems that after three years, he is confident that he will repay this "debt"! Of course, before leaving, he stared at the storm kite for a long time. After making sure that he remembered the appearance of the storm kite, he hurriedly ran away!

These are all episodes on the road of the violent kite, but these episodes also tell the violent kite, and it is not two or three years for Hedong to want to rule the country! Moreover, after this war, the vitality of Hedong does not know how much it will lose! When the time comes, it will take even more time!

In the county guard's mansion, the violent kite is the first, the county guard Wei Zhe of Hedong County is accompanied, and the county and the military captains are in their respective positions. Originally, according to the order of King Han, Wei Zhe was responsible for leading an army of 100,000 to respond! However, under the construction of the tyrant kite, the king of Han finally agreed that Wei Zhe would be mainly responsible for the defense of Hedong County, and the reserve army of 100,000 would be led by the healed Zhijin Wu Weiyun!

Today's meeting was the first thing that the storm kite asked to do after arriving in Anyi, and Wei Zhe naturally knew that the storm kite wanted to know the specific battle situation on the front line, so he told him what he knew!

After hearing this, the violent kite twisted his eyebrows and said in confusion: "Wei Junshou said that there are more and more Qin army camps on the other side, but he has not launched an offensive for a long time?" ”

Wei Zhe nodded with a wry smile and said, "Captain Tyrant, at least two days ago, the news that this official got was like this. If the Qin army has a move, Lieutenant Li will definitely inform this official as soon as possible! This official is now worried that the other side of the strait will not be the suspicious soldiers of the Qin State! ”

Storm Kite was noncommittal, but just asked, "Is the daily cooking smoke in the Qin military camp on the other side normal?" ”

In the eyes of the tyrant kite, there are as many troops as there is a camp! If you are a man, you have to eat! At this time, ten people have a stove, and cooking smoke is an important indicator of the size of an army! Of course, for famous players, this is just a reference! If you are too superstitious, you may be like Pang Juan, and you will fall for Sun Bin's plan to reduce the stove!

Wei Zhe replied: "Measured by the amount of cooking smoke, the number of Qin troops is about 50,000!" But it is not ruled out that this is intentional by the Qin State! ”

Storm Kite nodded and admitted that if Qin Guo really wanted to deceive himself, he would definitely pay attention to many details! Like the amount of cooking smoke, the number of flags, and the size of the camp, these are all details that cannot be ignored! When fighting with soldiers, there are two situations that I am most afraid of, one is that I think too little, and as a result, I am led by the nose by the enemy, and I don't know how to die. Another is to think too much, always feel that the other party is too powerful or their own plan is not careful enough, and in the end, the fighter will be delayed, and the bamboo basket will be empty.

"At present, on the river, how many warships are there in the Qin State?" Storm Kite asked another question.

Storm Kite thought about it, whether it was a suspicious formation or a blatant attack on Hedong, the Qin State always had to cross the river. If there is not a single ship, needless to say, this must be Qin Guo making a joke on himself. If there are too few warships, there are too few soldiers in the Qin State who can cross the river every time, it is completely to deliver food to himself, and he doesn't mind laughing! If there are a lot of them, that's what you need to watch out for!

"At present, there are not many, but three or four hundred searches, all of which are small boats that can carry forty or fifty people. However, Lieutenant Lee reported that more than a dozen ships arrived from upstream every day. I think it was recruited from other places by the Qin State! Wei Zhe replied.

Storm Kite secretly judged that according to the calculation that 400 ships can cross 50 people, the number of troops that Qin State can send at a time is 20,000. At most, it only takes three waves for 50,000 Qin troops to reach the east side of the river. quantity, it should be enough.

"What's the latest news on Puhanguan and Fenyin?"

"There has been no major movement on the Shangjun side of the Qin State, but along the river, we have deployed no less than 20,000 troops. As long as we find that there is movement of the Qin army on the other side, we can make a response at the first time. At present, Li Junwei personally guarded Fenglingdu and confronted the Qin army across the river. ”

Storm Kite thought about it for a while, he had no other good way than to order the river boat division to go upstream, and block the possibility of the Qin army going down the river in the area of Hangu Pass! He can't take the initiative to cross the river to attack the Qin army, and test the reality of the Qin army, so he can only wait patiently for the Qin State to show his feet or flaws!

If the real goal of the Qin State is Hedong, then everyone will naturally be happy, and he will not work in vain for a while. If the Qin army on the other side of the river is just an old and weak soldier, then he can only admit it! However, before that, you can write a letter to the other party and spy on the other party. After all, the other party is under the banner of Wu Anjun, which can be used by himself!

"Then please ask Wei Junshou to sit in Anyi, and I will go to Fengling to meet Wu Anjun of Qin!" Storm Kite quickly made a decision! (Don't subscribe for the next chapter, you can subscribe tomorrow morning!) (To be continued......)
