In fact, Zhao Kuo's worries are also a bit unnecessary.

Bai Qi has always wanted to fight a war of annihilation, not a war of defeat. Before blocking the escape roads in all directions, taking advantage of the night to rob the camp, the best result was only the collapse of the Zhao army, the Qin army captured the barriers on both sides of the Danshui River, and Qin Zhao continued to confront each other on the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall.

This is by no means the result that Bai Qi and the Qin State want.

Compared with the tranquility of the Zhao army's camp tent, the Qin army's light wolf city fortress was a different situation.

Most of the Qin troops who were withdrawn from the barrier and the Qin troops behind the palace had already moved to the Light Wolf City, and they were greeted in tatters. Hot water, hot soup, hot meals, and clean clothes. It is not easy for them to retreat from the beacon fire, and they need to rest and adjust too much.

Bai Qi has only one requirement for them: rest, rest completely! They were then placed in the General Strategic Reserve.

And not far from the camp they repaired was among the fortresses of the Light Wolf City, which had been built according to the Light Wolf City.

On top of the barrier several feet high, a water of black clothes and black armor - even almost every node is guarded by a team of great swordsmen.

The crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone-throwing carts were swinging out as if they were not for money, and their density was more than twice as high as the fallen west bank ramparts.

There are so many rolling logs and stones that I feel like I can't use them up, and the people under the barrier are still moving up vigorously.

Because the Zhao army had not yet arrived, the most deadly and disgusting gold juice was tightly covered in large vats. The large vat made of clay pottery, except for the cheap bowl, has no other benefits, and the large vat that can only be surrounded by three people has one every ten meters, although there is a lid to block it, but because the number is too far away, the whole barrier is immersed in the stench.

Not far behind the majestic fortress is the newly erected tent of the Qin army.

In the tent, there are still crowds, a huge map is placed in the middle of the big tent, a veteran general wears a white scarf on his head, wears silver armor, covers a white robe, holds a Qin army long sword in both hands, his feet are slightly divided into a straddle shape, his eyebrows are frowned, he sits on the side of the map, and quietly listens to the report of the generals under his command.

"At present, Zhao Jun has crossed the Danshui on all fronts!" A general pointed to the Danshui on the map and said: "Its main force has spread out in a north-south direction along the barrier on the west bank of Danshui. The headquarters of the Zhao army, which was pursuing our army, has also temporarily retreated to the main camp on the west bank. ”

"The main force of the Zhao army camped less than a hundred miles in front of our army's fortress, which seems to have the intention of repairing. On the south side, there are about 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, wandering outside our boundary card collar, as if to defend our army from the boundary card collar; The other was about 20,000 to 30,000 men, and our army advanced south from the Xiaodongcang River to defend the north side as foot soldiers. Another general then added.

"It is well defended, and even under victory, it does not get carried away and underestimate the enemy." Another lieutenant said.

"It seems to be thorough, but in fact there are loopholes everywhere!" Sima Cuo, who had been leading the Wolf City defense line and not fishing for the battle, said urgently.

"General, give the order!" A group of Qin army generals coaxed under the instigation of Sima Cuo.

"What's the hurry! The Zhao army has already crossed west, and it can't fly out, and you will fight it! As he spoke, Bai Qi glanced at the initiator, Sima Cuo.

Sima Coo lowered his head anxiously, and silently thought in his heart: I have nothing to do with it!

Ignoring the anxious Sima Cuo, this veteran had been transferred to this light wolf city to build a barrier a few months ago, and he didn't fight a single battle, so it was not surprising that he was a little impatient.

But Bai Qi knew that the people below could be anxious, but he couldn't! Then he continued to ask: "In the past few days, in addition to pursuing our army, has the Zhao army made any other changes?" ”

"Wu Anjun (because the war has started, there is no need to keep it secret, so it can be called Wu Anjun)." The lieutenant in charge of the scout immediately went out and replied: "Scout report: The Zhao army is building fortresses along the way, which seems to have the intention of advancing step by step. ”

"Oh?" Bai frowned slightly.

The generals were also in an uproar when they heard this.

"If you are a victorious army, why do you build fortresses along the way?"

"It's only a hundred miles away, why don't you go straight down to Light Wolf City?"

"Has our army's intentions been discovered?"

For a while, the generals were talking.

In the face of the uneasiness of the generals, Bai Qi was as steady as Mount Tai, and then said: "No." If we had already sensed our army's intentions, the Zhao army would have already withdrawn to the east bank of Danshui, so why bother building a fortress and advancing to Light Wolf City? ”

Bai Qi's words were like a reassuring pill, instantly calming down the worried minds of the people present.

It's just that if Zhao Jun hadn't discovered his intentions, why did he go to such great lengths to organize a large army to build a fortress? Isn't this delaying the attack?

Without waiting for Bai Qi to continue answering, Wang Yi on the side had already begun to analyze.

"From Zhao Jun's point of view, my barrier division has been defeated and defeated, and there is not much difference between the siege of Light Wolf City one day earlier or one day later. Rather, here. Wang Yi pointed to the Hanoi area and said: "If our army draws troops from Hanoi at this time, enters from the boundary plate, and attacks the flank of the Zhao army, the battle may be reversed." ”

"Not bad! The Zhao army was defending against the army on our flank, and only then did it arrange a fortress to defend the rear. A general chimed in.

Although Bai Qi had a little doubt in his heart, he still added after a little thought: "Judging from the previous attack and defense of the barrier, Zhao Kuo is worthy of being familiar with military books, and there is no lack of caution in the use of troops, and it is reasonable to have such a defensive strategy. ”

Hearing this, the generals nodded one after another, and finally settled down on Zhao Kuo's fortress tactics. Of course, the generals were not unaware of the difficulties that these fortresses would have for their subsequent partition and encirclement, but everyone chose to ignore this. After all, there is no fortress that the Qin army cannot break, not to mention that this group of Zhao troops will soon run out of food in their encirclement, how long can the Zhao army hold out without the support of grain?

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Bai Qi immediately continued to ask: "How is the progress of our army's northern and southern divisions?" ”

"The North Road Division reported in the evening: General Hu Shu has led 25,000 elite soldiers and horses to intersperse between the Great Wall of Zhibaili Stone and Hanwang Mountain, and at the same time searched south and found that the military camp on Hanwang Mountain was empty!" One of the generals immediately came out of the shift and replied.

"Therefore, General Hu Shu changed the route of the march, leaving 5,000 foot soldiers to continue to cut off the connection between Changping Pass and the main force of the Zhao army, and the main force directly took the camp of Han Wangshan, which is expected to arrive tonight, and did not avoid being discovered by the army on the west bank of the Zhao army, and decided to launch an attack when our army began to encircle the Zhao army." Pi will continue.

"Good!" Bai Qiqi nodded, looked at the map and instructed the general: "Inform General Hu Shu that you must be bold and interspersed." ”
