Chapter 389: Odd Take

Outside the city of Handan, the Qin army retreated.

When the news from the rear reached Pingyang City, Hu Yu also received an order from Handan City.

Siege and kill the heavy armoured army!

Pingyang of Zhao State is the same as Anyang, it is an important town, with thick city defense and solid storage. When Hu was defeated, the reason why he retreated to Pingyang was not only because this city was the most important military fulcrum outside the Great Wall of Zhangshui in Zhao State, but also because the hoarded grain allowed him to easily gather the defeated army.

"Quick!"

On the long road, Hu Qi rode on his horse, urging the soldiers to move forward quickly.

Guo Kai had an entrustment from his side, so that he would definitely be disgraced in this battle and inflict heavy losses on the Qin army before Sima Shang. In this way, in order to change Guo Kai's current disadvantages in the Zhao court.

It's the same with yourself. I want to use this war to change the disadvantage I face.

After the first battle of Anyang, the Qin army defeated the 100,000 army, and then broke through Handan, tearing open the Great Wall defense line of the Zhao army, shocking the world, but also making Hu Xuan suffer humiliation and be laughed at by the world.

"General, are we going too fast?"

The lieutenant beside him said.

They were originally a defeated army, and most of them were foot soldiers, and while the morale of the army was low, now they have to rush forward, and their combat strength is probably not high.

"The news from Handan that the Qin army has now become a frightened bird. Guo Xiang asked me to wait in a hurry, we must rush ahead of Sima Shang, establish military exploits, seize Fanwu, and can't be delayed. ”

Originally, I was going to pick up the bargain, and I thought that there were many people on my side, and I should be able to deal with it.

"The Qin army is also a defeated army, and we don't need to be afraid."

..................

In the darkness of the night, tens of thousands of heavy armor stopped their rapid steps.

The night fire was blazing, and Yang Duan and the horse came to Zhao Shuang.

"Your Majesty, why did you order a halt to the army before you arrived at Fanwu?"

"The sentry cavalry came to report that Zhao cavalry is less than seventy miles away from us, and if we continue, the Zhao army will be able to catch up with us in half a day."

Yang Duanhe's complexion changed.

"Li Xin led the cavalry army first, or should he be recalled to resist the Zhao army?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head.

"I've asked Li Xin to go to Fango first."

"Do you want it?"

"As soon as our army retreats, Sima Shang and Hu Yu will definitely lead the army to surround our army. He is brave, but he leads a defeated army. Therefore, let Li Xin defeat this weak brigade first. I look at the mountain topography here, there is the old formation of the Zhao army on it, and the formation is set up together to welcome Sima Shang. ”

"But Li Xin's side won, and our army is here, and it is also a lone army. If the Zhao army besieges the mountain, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to escape. It's better to go to Fanwu and defend the city, which has a better chance of winning. ”

"If our army retreats, even if Li Xin's side wins, Sima Shang will definitely rescue him. If he is here, he can hold back Sima Shang's main force and make him have no time to take care of anything else. As long as you stay here for a few days, you will definitely usher in a turnaround. ”

"Turnaround?" Yang Duanhe didn't understand, what was this turning point, "Could it be that Fan Yu of Dongjun will be in the future?" ”

Zhao Shuang smiled, he didn't expect Fan Yuzhi's army.

"At this moment, the army has just left Pingyang, Sima Shang's army has already moved south, and Handan is empty, which is a good opportunity for a thousand years. As long as we take advantage of this time, the army of the Shangdang can immediately go east and capture Quehe, then our army, a dead son, will be revitalized. ”

"But there are few soldiers in the party, and Que He is an important town, so I'm afraid it's not so easy. Moreover, if the Shangdang defenders cannot go east in time, our army will be completely abandoned here. ”

"No one else can, but he's different."

Yang Duanhe smiled, it seems that Zhao Shuang seems to be very confident in the generals of the Shangdang Army.

"Why did you say that?"

"He is a peerless general, but he has been unknown for many years. This is the time to make a name for yourself. ”

.................

Get on the party.

In the midst of the army, a group of generals gathered in the main general's tent.

"The battle report has come from Handan, and after half a day of fierce fighting between our army and Sima Shang's army, it has now retreated. Sima Shang's army will go south, and the Hu army will presumably also go north to encircle our army. ”

In the midst of the tent stood a man.

In the battle of Yucheng in the past, the man blocked the five-nation coalition army. It's just that with the hasty retreat of the coalition forces, the war did not cause much repercussions. Then, with the internal power struggle of the Qin State, especially the Tunliu Rebellion, the Changyu Rebellion and LΓΌ Buwei's dismissal of the prime minister in the previous years, the pace of Qin's foreign conquest was greatly delayed. So much so that today, men have led an army, and they are still not famous among the nations.

"General Wang Qian, with tens of thousands of heavy armor troops, is already good now. But after all, Yang Duanhe was too anxious. ”

In the eyes of everyone, Yang Duanhe was too eager to make meritorious contributions, and if he waited for the arrival of Fan Yuzhi's army in the rear before marching, it would not be like this.

"What do you say you should do?"

Wang Jian looked at the generals around him and asked.

"I just want to save it, but I can't do it, so I can only rely on Fan Yujun."

"But Fan Yuzhi led the army in Dongjun, if he wanted to save it, he should have saved it a long time ago, why is there no news of the army now?"

Everyone didn't say anything, but they were very puzzled in their hearts.

It is said that Changping Jun and Hanyang Jun are Weng sons-in-law, and Fan Yuzhi should not watch Yang Duan and the army be destroyed.

Wang Jian smiled and said nothing.

"Someone outside the tent claimed to be the messenger of Hanyangjun and wanted to see the general."

At this moment, the voice of the herald made all the generals in the camp puzzled.

"Let him in!"

Mo Crow walked from the gate of the camp to the commander's tent, and it can be seen all the way that there is a degree of legislation in this camp, which shows that the master must not be an ordinary person.

"I've seen General Wang."

"Hanyang Jun summoned Er, why did you come?"

"Hanyang Jun will set up a formation in Fuyang Mountain and drag Sima Shangjun."

Wang Jian smiled.

"Hanyang-kun asked you to come just to say this?"

"Li Mu is still in Yandi, and the Zhao army is unmanned, so it is easy to take it. The king wants to give the general a chance to become famous in the world, but I don't know if the general has the ability to take it? ”

"Hanyang-kun's kindness, I already know."

The crow retreated. A group of generals who were originally suppressed immediately opened their mouths and asked.

"General, what does Hanyang-kun mean by this?"

"It's very simple, as long as our army takes Que and goes out of the well, the situation will naturally change."

"But I have few soldiers, and I am a new army, how can I take Luyang and Que?"

In front of the Qin army, there are two important towns of the Zhao army. In the eyes of everyone, with their current military strength, it is impossible to capture city by city, and it is an unsolvable problem.

It's just that Wang Jian has already made a calculation.

"It is naturally not easy to take Luyang first, and then take Que and. But if it's the other way around, it's different. ”

Wang Jian smiled, turned around, and walked to the map on the side. The generals followed.

"Luyang Road is near, and Que Road is far away. If our army attacks on a large scale and attacks Luyang, it will definitely attract the Zhao army to be on guard. If he leads a strong army, goes around his rear, and takes advantage of his unpreparedness to capture Que He, the Zhao army will definitely be in turmoil and will succeed. With the centurion and above officers in the army and my account strong, follow me to the north, take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Zhao army, take Que and take Luyang. ”

Wang Jian was the main general, and he gave an order, and the law was like a mountain, and everyone promised.

All the generals in the tent retreated, and Wang Jian was in the big tent. He was about to face a dangerous battle, but he didn't have a burden in his heart. On the contrary, he remembered the conversation that day in the wine shop, LΓΌ Buwei.

"Zhao Shuang?"
