Chapter Twenty-Six: The Power of the White Rise
Wild King Castle.
Bai Qi stood on the bank of Shaoshui, his deep gaze through the layers of clouds and mist, and fell to the other end of the mountain.
There is Changping.
Suddenly, Bai Qi turned around, and he heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.
Not long after, a horse galloped from a distance, and when he saw Bai Qi, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and saluted Bai Qi.
"General, there is an envoy in Xianyang."
Bai Qi was a little surprised, according to his prediction, King Qin should not have sent him on the expedition so soon, could there be other circumstances?
Bai Qi strode towards the courtyard where he lived.
Wang Ji paced back and forth in the courtyard, and there was a eunuch standing next to him, and when he saw Bai Qi, a smile suddenly appeared on their faces, and the eunuch saluted Bai Qi: "I've seen Wu Anjun." β
Even if he represented the King of Qin, he didn't dare to face Bai Qi coldly, only the Qin State knew how many people Bai Qi had killed.
Bai Qi nodded slightly, in response.
The envoy straightened his waist, took out the edict, and preached: "The widow wants to worship Wu Anjun as a general, and I hope that Wu Anjun can share the worries of the country, command the Qin army, send troops to Changping, and crusade against Zhao." β
Bai Qi just bowed slightly: "No." β
The messenger was not angry, but gave the edict to Bai Qi, and went down to rest.
After leaving the courtyard, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason, when he stood in front of Bai Qi, he always felt uncomfortable all over his body.
Wang Yi walked over excitedly and said happily: "General, I can finally fight with you again." β
He specially rushed back from Light Wolf City to witness this moment.
Wang Yi admires Bai Qi very much, trusts Bai Qi even more than himself, in his opinion, as long as he follows Bai Qi, he can always win.
In fact, it is!
"General, I'll put on your armor." Wang Yu excitedly ran into the house and took out the white armor.
Wearing armor was very cumbersome, and under normal circumstances, it was worn by close doormen for the master, or for the husband of the wife and concubine.
Bai Qi was named Wu Anjun, but he did not support guests, his wife had been dead for many years, and his only son was still in the army.
It is only up to Wang Yi to put on the armor of his idol himself.
Bai Qi did not refuse, looked ahead, and stretched out his arms.
This is a complete set of battle armor, exclusive to Bai Qi, divided into six parts: helmet, inlay, battle armor, chest guard, battle skirt, and combat boots.
When Sima Cuo killed a transcendent rhinoceros in Longxi, Qin Wangji ordered its skin to be made into three sets of armor and gave them to three of Qin's most famous generals: Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, and Wei Ran.
Bai got up and stood there in military uniform, his eyes looking straight ahead, and there seemed to be countless battlefields fighting in his pupils.
At this moment, Wang Yi felt that the temperature around him dropped instantly, and he fell into the cold winter.
Bai Qi grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist and stepped out of the courtyard step by step.
β¦β¦
"Based on my understanding of Bai Qi, if he is really in charge, he will inevitably aim to annihilate our army. In front of Bai Qi, there are no victors and vanquished, only the dead and the living.
Our army has a large army of 400,000 and the Qin army is about 600,000. Although the number of the Qin army is half more than ours, our army is the defender, and under normal circumstances, let alone total annihilation, even encirclement cannot be achieved. If you want to be completely annihilated, you can only rely on geographical advantages. β
Tian Dan pointed to the Danshui on the map and said.
"At the beginning of the battle of Yique, Bai Qi avoided the real and attacked the weak, first weak and then strong, led the main force of the Qin army to the rear of the Han and Wei coalition forces, cut off the supply of grain and grass between the two countries, surrounded the Han and Wei coalition forces in Yique, and finally annihilated the 240,000 Han and Wei coalition forces in a battle."
"In the battle of Huayang, Bai Qi was taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, traveled a hundred miles a day, traveled eight days in a hurry, went around to the rear of Wei, and launched an attack at the time of the Han and Wei wars, annihilating 130,000 Wei troops, and then defeated our Zhao army."
"I speculate that Bai Qi will use the same method this time."
"If I were Bai Qi, I would definitely find a way to attract our army into the Danshui River Valley." Tian Dan pointed to the two valleys to the north and south of Changping City.
"The North Danshui River Valley, the terrain is narrow, but to the north is the Bailishi Great Wall where our army is stationed, and it is unlikely that the Qin army will choose here. The Nandanshui River Valley, the terrain is relatively wide, and it is more difficult to annihilate it completely, but it is farther away from the Bailishi Great Wall, which is more beneficial to the Qin army. β
"As long as the Qin army lures our army into it, only 100,000 people will be enough to seal both ends of the valley, and no matter how many people in the valley are, they will not be able to escape. It is even possible to build dams upstream to flood the army. β
Tian Dan said slowly, his voice making everyone's hearts feel a little chilly.
If it is really according to what Tian Dan said, Zhao Jun is introduced into the Danshui River Valley, I am afraid that even if the gods come, they will not be able to save them.
Zhao Kuo didn't know how Bai Qi defeated Zhao Kuo in history, but he felt that what Tian Dan said was probably not far from ten.
"Of course, it is not excluded that Bai Qi chooses the Beidanshui River Valley, after all, the terrain advantage is more obvious." Tian Dan said again.
"So what should we do?" Zhao Kuo immediately asked.
"If the Qin army is an ordinary commander, our army can use Danshui to lure the Qin army to take the bait, but the commander of the Qin army is in vain...... Send people to defend the Great Wall of Bailishi and the eldest son, and ensure that the back road is unblocked. Tian Dan said.
"If you want to defeat Bai Qi, you can only unite with other countries, and I am afraid that Zhao State alone will not be able to do it." Le Yi said.
Lian Po didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
"The king has already sent two waves of emissaries for help, and no country is willing to send troops."
Zhao Kuo sighed.
The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu have been frightened by the Qin State, the Qi State and the Zhao State have enmity, and the Yan State has always worn a pair of pants with the Qin State, and it would be good not to stab them in the back.
Moreover, for the other five countries, it is in the best interests to sit on the sidelines and wait for the first and second powers in the world to lose, how can they easily help Zhao State.
Historically, no country in the Battle of Changping sent troops to help Zhao.
It was not until the Battle of Handan that Zhao was in danger of extinction that Wei and Chu sent troops to rescue each other.
"When General Lian Po was in command of the army, the king sent an envoy Zheng Zhu to the Qin State to negotiate peace, and the Qin State received the envoy hobbyly while ordering the Qin army to strengthen military preparations. And to other countries to publicize that Qin and Zhao had reconciled, and other countries really believed that they would no longer send troops to help Zhao. β
"Unless we promise heavy profits, or our country suffers a catastrophe, I'm afraid the five countries will not send troops." Liu Ping said.
"Our army is running out of food and grass, and Handan has now begun to send wheat and mushrooms......" Lian Po did not continue.
But everyone understood what he meantβthere was no more food in Handan.
"Alright, you all go back, I'll think about it again." Zhao Kuo waved his hand impatiently.
Lao Tzu called you over to let you say how to defeat Bai Qi, not how powerful Bai Qi was.
Zhao Kuo was a little irritable in his heart.
Several people glanced at each other and retreated silently, leaving Zhao Kuo alone.
Zhao Kuo looked at the map hanging on the wall, thinking about the route that Bai Qi might attack, how many troops he would probably send, what kind of response he should make, and how many people he should send to defend or counterattack......
Half an hour later, Zhao Kuo slammed the table to the ground and walked outside with a decadent face......
