Chapter 55: Using Soldiers Like God (Subscription Requested!)
"Yan Dan's corpse experience is good?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei, who was carefully checking the map of the Hexi military, asked without looking back.
"There is no doubt that the corpse is Yan Dan, there is indeed a huge suspicion, he was obviously assassinated by a sharp blade, but the real cause of death is poisoning!"
Zhao Gao said.
"Dead twice?"
Lu Buwei's gray brows raised, he shook his head with a sneer, and suddenly his face condensed, "As soon as Yan Dan dies, the king will have more excuses to eliminate the war, Cheng Chan must be protected, and before the end of the war, there must be no accidents!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Gao received the order.
He stepped back silently, Lu Buwei closed his eyes slightly, and his straight waist was a little rickety.
Since Gan Luo left the miscellaneous family, Lü Buwei's trust in Wei Yu and Sikong Ma has also been greatly reduced, and he has worked harder than before, and his energy is already low.
Only Zhao Gao has been following the left and right, which reassures him the most.
Of course, Lü Buwei has been in power for more than ten years, and he knows that if he holds it for a long time, he will lose, and the key is the defeat of Changping Jun and Changwenjun.
The next moment, his eyes opened, his essence flashed, he pointed at Tunliu, and whispered, "Li Mu, don't disappoint the old man!"
......
......
Changping Jun walked out of the tent and swept around, only to see the starry sky covered by lights, extending to the end of the sky.
The place is very high, and the firelight on the cantonment city wall is clearly visible several miles away, and Zhao soldiers patrol, walking back and forth.
Looking at it from afar, Changping Jun's heart was also hot.
Although twenty years have passed since the Battle of Changping, another group of young and strong people have grown up in the Zhao State, but the gap between the recruits and the veterans on the battlefield is huge, and the northern Xiongnu have never been honest, although Li Mu was defeated, it is not without losses, so today's Zhao State, with the strength of the whole country, is only 200,000 troops.
There are only 200,000 people, the Wei State in the south, the Yan State in the east, and the alien races in the north must be on guard, and if they divide their troops, they will be even more stretched.
In terms of generals, Zhao Guo, who was a famous general in the past, also fell into an embarrassing situation, Lian Po was expelled, and Li Mu, who was known for his prestige, was constrained by Yan Guo's general, which was simply ridiculous.
At this moment, it is a godsend!
And once he Changping Jun is victorious, the ministers will inevitably give up Lü Buwei, and the power of Chu's relatives will rise, and the king will inevitably rely on him even more.
Returning to the camp with great ambition, Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun plotted.
The key to this battle lies in the city not far away-
Tun Liu!
Not only because the tunliu is at a critical point, but also because it is a place where soldiers must fight, Cheng Cheng surrendered to Zhao, and the old department under his command is among them.
Previously, Changping Jun had determined the situation through secret spies, there were 40,000 soldiers in the city, and King Zhao deliberately left 50,000 Zhao soldiers to guard them strictly in order to prevent Cheng Cheng from surrendering.
This kind of trick called surrender, but in fact house arrest, will inevitably lead to the cessation of the old department, once the Qin army launched an attack from the outside, giving the pawn a chance to surrender, it will inevitably be able to cooperate with the outside and break the city in one fell swoop.
The only thing to worry about is that there are 50,000 Zhao troops stationed in Lucheng, echoing each other, and once a war breaks out in the garrison, they can immediately rush to help, or even outflank them before and after.
So it's a delicate battle.
The two sides are like making dumplings, you layer by layer, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the passivity of attacking from both sides.
But the Qin army had a huge advantage, that is, it had a large number of troops.
There are only 50,000 Zhao troops in Tunliu, and 50,000 reinforcements, which add up to only half of Qin's 200,000 army.
Of course, if Daqin worked together, Changping Jun would definitely press on with the upright king's army, but unfortunately, Wang Jian had already arrived in Taiyang, and was eyeing the tiger and ready to take over the military power at any time.
If the troops are divided into two routes, they cannot be attacked for a long time, and the losses are serious, Lü Buwei can take the opportunity to transfer him back, so he must fight quickly.
The final plan is to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
If 50,000 Zhao troops come to support, they will be eliminated, and if 50,000 Zhao troops do not come, they will directly break through the city and take back the old department.
In this regard, the two made strict arrangements, and set up military sentry traps near the cantonment, layer by layer of fortifications.
Tribulus terrestris, spikes, hook thorns, and antlers, under the blowing of the evening breeze, grow densely like weeds, and thousands of sentinels stare back and forth.
All preparations were made, and in the early morning of the second day, the Qin army began to attack the city.
In this era, siege equipment is far less diverse than that of later generations, but the morale of the Qin army honed by iron and blood in the past dynasties is not comparable to the armies of later generations-
Only the first batch of 30,000 people charged, and the vast army had already formed a vast ocean, and the angry tide was surging, and the waves were rushing, and they burst into the city wall that stood in front of them.
They are like a pack of fierce beasts, looking at their prey under their claws, and their eyes are spewing with invincible and invincible flames!
It seems that Zhao Jun didn't dare to come, a rational decision. ”
This battle lasted all day, until the sun went down, and when night fell, the Qin army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and Changping Jun made a judgment and summoned the doorman, "You are connected with the old department of Cheng Chan, ready to open the city gate, the soldiers are fast, I will take Tunliu tonight!"
"Yes!"
After a few hours, the light of the city wall shook with the light of the fire, and after a few moments, the gate slowly opened.
"It's done!"
Changping Jun was overjoyed: "Attack!"
He was not without vigilance, ordered 50,000 Qin soldiers, and rushed into the city in two batches, even if the enemy cheated, with the strength of the Great Qin soldiers, he could also break the trick with force.
Indeed, the Qin army was like a bamboo all the way, and the urn city that stayed in the tun couldn't withstand their impact at all, until there was an earth-shattering loud bang.
Bang!
The Great Qin soldiers, who were not afraid of heaven and earth, were stunned to find that there was a large-scale collapse on the ground around them.
A deep annular ditch with a width of six or seven meters and a depth of more than ten meters was intercepted in front, and the ditch was covered with spiked wooden stakes, skillfully blocking the inside and outside.
The 20,000 Qin soldiers who rushed into the city first had no way to enter and no way to retreat, and were trapped alive in this trench circle, and the 30,000 troops behind them were also blocked by the deep ditch and could not advance for a while.
It was too late, and countless archers had already appeared on the wall.
"Put!"
"What?"
When the urgent report came, Changping Jun's heart suddenly fell into a cold cave.
Who ordered such a deep ditch to be dug in the city?
This is Tunliu!
The former important place of Korea!
With such a digging, it will be impossible to resist the offensive of the Qin army for at least a few months.
Could it be that Zhao Guo is going to finish his work in one battle, and then completely give up his stay?
"Li Mu!"
Such a bold tactic made a name come to Changpingjun's mind.
Turning over his hands for clouds and covering his hands for rain, such a ruthless door to beat the dog, only this person can do it.
And that's just the beginning.
"Kill!"
The next moment, Zhao Jun rushed out of the other city gate and outflanked him.
Steady stream.
"No!
Changping Jun was in danger and dispatched troops, but soon his face became more and more pale.
Because the number of troops left behind is beyond the ordinary!
Even if the Zhao people saw through the tricks of the inside and the outside, the soldiers were always in a constraint, and during the daytime when attacking the city, they could drive the soldiers into battle, but at night they had to divide their forces to guard them, and they could not go all out.
But now there are more than 30,000 people fighting?
"Oh no!
Changping Jun himself is also proficient in the art of war, and immediately reacted, I am afraid that the 20,000 Qin army soldiers have already been transferred, and those who are connected with the secret spy are traitors who have completely surrendered to Zhao State!
In other words, the troops retained in the tun are not 50,000 Zhao troops, but a full 90,000, and without the Qin army's descending soldiers, they can exert complete combat power!
This kind of misjudgment was absolutely fatal, and the Qin army was immediately shrouded in a huge crisis of being completely annihilated by the enemy.
"Retreat!"
Changping Jun gritted his teeth, but he also made a decision immediately, preparing a strong man to break his wrist and give up the Qin soldiers to protect the overall situation.
However, Li Mu didn't give him the slightest chance.
"General, it's not good, there is Zhao Jun rushing over at the big camp!"
"Lucheng reinforcements?"
"No! It's Li Mu! Li Mu personally led the cavalry!"
When the Qin army camp in the rear shouted to kill the heavens, and there was a burst of fire, Changping Jun grabbed the herald's collar and roared angrily, "Impossible! Li Mu was still attacking Taiyang yesterday, how could he travel hundreds of miles in one day? Why didn't we find out earlier in the defense line we had arranged?"
"I don't know! I don't know!"
The herald was trembling and incoherent, Changping Jun's face was bloody, and he shouted, pulling out his sword, "Rush with this general and kill a bloody road!"
