The Battle of Changping Chapter 068 The thunder in the flat ground has been prepared
However, Zhao Jun's series of near-stagnant movements did not affect the pace of the Qin army.
In the middle of the night, all the units of the Qin army had already set off.
The Qin army on the north road, the cavalry of Yingyi's department had already frantically rushed towards the northwest defense line for dozens of miles, and was resting in the mountains and forests for a while, just waiting for it to get dark to turn around, straight to the east, and directly into the north of the Zhao army; The infantry led by Wang Yi had already arrived at the predetermined position, and there were two to three days of running to reach the pass in front of the mountain.
The Qin army in the south, because there was less worry about being discovered by the Zhao army, was still marching during the day, and the vanguard only needed another day and a half to reach Jiepai Ridge at the earliest.
In the Light Wolf City, Sima Coo's stay up all night and finally sorted out the headquarters one by one, and the respective captains and captains were leading the recruits to patrol their own defense lines. What made Sima Cuo very excited was that more than 3,000 of the wounded soldiers had returned to the team after treatment and rest, although these 3,000 people were currently part of the strategic reserve, but no matter what, Sima Cuo had more confidence in holding the front line of Light Wolf City.
The Hu Wound Department on the east bank of Danshui also received the generals from Bai Qi in the middle of the night, and then, 25,000 elite soldiers took advantage of the night to slowly move to the surroundings of the Hanwangshan camp, and even 5,000 warriors had already crossed the Hanwangshan camp and quietly ambushed near the east bank barrier. As long as the siege and annihilation battle on the west bank begins, this side will immediately connect the two defense lines of Hanwang Mountain and the east bank barrier.
Everything was expected by Bai Qi.
As for Zhao Jun's stagnation, Bai Qi just wanted to say: Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo! Come slowly, let me tie the fence around me a little stronger!
As a result, both Zhao and Qin ushered in a rare calm in the war, although this calm revealed a lot of weirdness.
And although Zhao Kuo didn't know where Bai Qi would come from and where he would be surrounded, Zhao Kuo believed that he was already like a small worm that fell into a spider's web, and the big spider would appear in front of him at any time. There is really no more way than clenching your fists, taking steps of the camp, and waiting for the rescue of external forces.
Immediately, this rare day of calm passed quietly, and the progress of the war slowly advanced in the silence of both sides, and the cobwebs surrounding the Zhao army gradually revealed its shape, and the final battle was coming.
"Woo......"
The low sound of the trumpet sounded again, just as the rising sun rose again and again.
A team of energetic Zhao Jun, dressed in the same neat and clean armor, holding a bright sword, walked with neat steps, half-rolled the flag, and slowly drove out of the barrier camp.
The green mountains are beside him, and a little cool breeze blows from time to time.
The war horses opened the way ahead, and from time to time there were a few neighing sounds.
It's just that this happy march was finally interrupted by Zhao Kuo's military order.
"The soldiers are on guard in front, and the army is fortified in the mountains."
So, the army marched a way, stopped a journey, but in just a few hours, there were dozens of fortresses built along the mountain, the largest can accommodate a few soldiers (a thousand people for a song), and the smallest can also garrison hundreds of soldiers.
Each fortress is different in size, arranging the troops for defense, but not stationing them in them, but only familiarizing them with the location, and leaving one or a few soldiers according to the size of the fortress for guarding.
Of course, the soldiers who were left behind were unlucky, not only did they succumb to this small fortress, but they also lost the credit of capturing the flag.
As a result, most of the soldiers were reluctant to stay.
It's just that the military order is like a mountain, even if you don't want to stay anymore, the military order has to hate and stay.
Looking at the distant figures of his comrades, recalling the teasing words before leaving, all the soldiers who were left behind were dejected.
After the hustle and bustle, the soldiers left behind did not experience the taste of loneliness and the sadness of losing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so they ushered in the follow-up troops of the Zhao army, and their arrival also brought a different message to the soldiers left behind.
It was the baggage unit of the queen who was responsible for escorting the supplies.
"Someone, receive the goods!" The captain at the head of the school drove the car and shouted to the soldiers who were sitting in the fort.
"Yes." Although he was depressed, in the face of the captain's order, the chief did not dare to delay, and came to the outside of the fort one by one, ready to receive supplies, after all, it was miserable enough for him to stay behind, but he didn't want to go hungry anymore.
It's just that no one expected that there would be so many materials in front of them.
Bags of bulging grain are even enough for a person to eat for more than ten days;
bundles of sharp arrows are enough for a curved archer to fight;
There are also barrels of gold juice, and even several stone-throwing carts, as well as large vats for storing drinking water......
A large amount of supplies and ordnance, in the stunned eyes of the soldiers left behind, was unloaded from the frame and placed in front of them.
Looking at the materials that were carried out of the car like flowing water, it was obvious that Shangfeng would not be untargeted, let alone waste so many materials in this wilderness. No matter how slow you are, you know that there must be something wrong.
In addition to "there must be a big war here", Zhao Jun, who was left behind, really couldn't think of any more reasons.
As for why there was a big battle here, it was not something that the commander and his subordinates could know, after all, the information they received was really limited. Of course, they don't have to think about it.
It's just that if there is a big war here, won't the front be more and more dangerous?
Shi Chang and his subordinates glanced at each other, obviously reacting a little, with a little disbelief in their eyes, and even a little bit of happiness.
Without the slightest hesitation, the commander led his soldiers and baggage troops to carry the supplies together.
With the completion of the transportation of materials, the originally empty fortress was instantly occupied with nearly one-fifth of the territory, which can be seen from Zhao Kuo's preparation.
After a few more instructions on precautions and secrecy, the lieutenant immediately rushed to the next fortress with his officers and a long convoy.
And where can the chiefs in the fortress sit still?
"Two dogs! Take your men and fortify the fortress a little more, keep more spurs out of the spurs, and dig deeper ravines. ”
"Sanwa, cut down the unsightly forest in front of the fortress for me!"
"Sixi, go fill the vat full of water, dig a few big pits, and fill me with mountain springs."
......
The chief is obviously proficient in defensive operations, and he ordered all the soldiers under his command to make the final preparations before the battle, and after experiencing the scene of transporting materials, it is obvious that the soldiers also vaguely know what may happen next, and they have no intention of resisting the arrangement of the chief, and they are busy one by one.
Soon, the dozens of fortresses arranged by Zhao Kuo gradually grew fangs one by one, and in the semi-permanent fortifications, the stone throwing trucks had been adjusted to the angle, ready to give the attackers a fatal blow at any time.
