Battle of Changping Chapter 033 Danshui is cut off and waiting for dawn
Of course, Wang Yu did not answer wrong.
Bai Qi's words of explanation were originally meant for Wang Yi.
Seeing that Wang Di responded, he already knew that he had already understood his intentions, and then continued to give orders.
"Herald Sima wrong!" Bai Qi summoned a herald and said, "Quickly rectify the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Light Wolf City, and within two days, the Light Wolf City and the fortress need to make all defensive preparations." At the same time, it is necessary to send cavalry to clear the walls along the way, one is to cut off the possible source of information for the Zhao army, so that the Zhao army must not find our army's barriers before arriving in the light wolf city, and the other is to let the Zhao army be trapped by our army, and there will be no food to replenish it, so as to weaken its combat strength. β
"Yes!" The herald immediately took the order.
After ordering the last line of defense, Bai Qi immediately stood up and said to the generals in the tent: "The first part of this battle, the name is: luring the army to go deeper. Whether it is defensive or interspersed, all departments must unify the steps of action, and must not act in advance without authorization; Even for his own soldiers, he can't say a word, and he must not find clues for Zhao Jun. You can understand! β
"The last general understands!" The answer to him was naturally yes.
Bai Qi waved his sleeves and motioned for the generals to leave. Then he closed his eyes and silently thought about his layout. There should be no omission, there should be none, there is one to attract the Zhao army, as long as the Zhao army comes in, there are my troops in the east, west, north and south, and the encirclement is impermeable.
The Qin army's army of about 450,000 was roughly divided into four parts:
50,000 elite soldiers were led by the general Wang Cai to prevent the Zhao army from flowing through Hanoi;
In the north, General Hu Shu led 25,000 elites up the water, intending to go around behind the Zhao army and block the road to the east;
On the front, 270,000 troops were gathered, and the echelons were arranged in the west bank barrier and the rear camp;
The last 100,000 troops, led by Sima Cuo, were in the Light Wolf City, and were the last line of defense of the Qin army.
It was like opening a bloody mouth, waiting for Zhao Jun on the opposite side to automatically send it to the door.
- No, it's not enough! The pockets are still a little thin, and the 100,000 army is defending the fortress of Light Wolf City, and in the face of the all-out attack of the Zhao army, I am afraid that it will be overwhelming.
"General Wang Di!" The tiger's eyes widened and Bai Qi shouted angrily.
Fortunately, Wang Yi walked last and the slowest walk, just outside the tent, heard Bai Qi's call, quickly ran back, promised: "The end will be!" βγ
"Drafting a military report, one is to briefly introduce the current situation and the arrangements of our army to the king, and the other is to ask the king for reinforcements! The more reinforcements, the merrier! Bring the king with the right arrangement! β
"No!" Although Wang Ji didn't understand why the battle hadn't been fought yet and why he needed reinforcements, he still did what Bai Qi asked, and Bai Qi must have discovered something omission and needed more troops.
With Bai Qi's general order, the entire Qin camp also quietly operated, but compared to the vigorous Zhao army, the movement of the Qin army was obviously much smaller, especially the Qin army that stayed in the barrier defense line, and even the captains on it were completely unaware of the news of the upcoming attack of the Zhao army.
Of course, this is also what Bai Qi specially instructed.
What you want is to be real, to give Zhao Jun the most real feeling of "caught off guard", of course, for this, the Qin army will also pay more casualties, but in Bai Qi's eyes, every casualty of the Qin army is a bait for Zhao Jun to be hooked - reluctant bait where can catch a big fish!
In order to hide people's eyes, even the Qin army, which was transferred from north to south, also went out of the camp in batches, as if they were on a normal patrol.
Qin Jun's actions were really unaware, and even Zhao Kuo, who was inspecting the Danshui defense line, did not particularly notice the abnormality of Qin Jun. However, Zhao Kuo knew that no abnormality was the biggest anomalyβQin Jun must have begun to calculate himself.
Forget it then! See who counts more and who counts less.
β¦β¦
After inspecting for several days, marking more than a dozen places to cross the river, dragging his tired body, facing the starlight in the sky, Zhao Kuo hurriedly returned to the military tent in the camp of Hanwangshan.
Perhaps because of the imminent war, there was silence in the barracks, only the sound of sharpening blades echoed in the camp with the whirring mountain wind.
Don't wait to sit firmly on the big case, while using some food, while listening to the report of General Sun Gu below.
"General Yu: According to the general's orders, General Zhou Qi has completed the exchange of troops in the Great Grain Mountain, and a total of more than 103,000 elite soldiers have been exchanged." Sun Gu took the bamboo slips and reported one by one: "At the same time, a total of 100,000 quintals of grain have been transported, which can be used by the army for a month. β
"Hmm!" Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction, it seems that under the governance of General Lian Po, the action of the army is still very strong, and the military order he just issued in the morning has been completed in just a few days.
Just as Zhao Kuo was about to reward Sun Gu's work, an urgent report had already appeared outside the big tent.
"Enter!" Zhao Kuo put down the food, pushed it aside, and said to the outside of the tent.
Immediately, a scout dressed in red with a short flag on his back lifted the curtain and entered the tent.
"Report!" The scout kneeling on one knee clasped his fists in his hands.
"Speak." Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense.
"General Yu: General Chen Zhang passed the book, Danshui has been cut off, and tomorrow after midnight, you can cross the river." The herald immediately replied.
"Oh?" Zhao Kuo said in surprise.
Ignoring anything else, Zhao Kuo immediately asked, "What time is it now?" β
"It's not time yet!" General Sun Gu on the side glanced at the copper kettle in the corner and replied immediately.
"Hai Shi, that is to say, there are less than three hours left before Yin Shi." Zhao Kuo muttered to himself.
Standing up, Zhao Kuo paced a few steps behind the big case, and his mind kept running: "The army has been preparing for a long time, and it has done its best, but the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and it doesn't matter if you are an hour early in this battle, but it may make the army tired, but it is not conducive to the war." β
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed, and he ordered Sun Gu: "Order: The leader of the army is three o'clock, bury the pot to make rice, and the army will get up and eat at the end of the day, the men and horses will be half full, and the soldiers will be divided into three ways, and the target will be the Qin army barrier on the west bank." β
"Yes!" Sun Gu agreed with some excitement.
β¦β¦
With Zhao Kuo's general order, the night also completely shrouded the Danshui coast, even several generals who knew the timing of the attack were also under Zhao Kuo's strict order, and they could only wait for the dawn with their eyes, and the Qin army on the west bank of Danshui was even more unprepared. It seems that everything is so calm and everything is business as usual.
It's just that in the camp behind the barrier, Bai Qi is ecstatic about a military report.
The military newspaper came from Heibingtai (Qin's intelligence agency), and the content was very simple, just a few words......
