Battle of Changping Chapter 159 Hearing the war, the attack was postponed
Of course, who to attack and how to attack is obviously a key and secret matter for the army. The Lord could not and should not divulge such a secret matter to the Lords.
Lian Po, as the commander of an army, should not lose control of the army so much, even if he is leading the army of Wei. This can be seen from the advance layout of the marching path. The only explanation is that Lian Po deliberately released the news and deliberately let the Wei army know that he was about to attack the Qin army with the Zhao army.
First, you can cure the Wei army's Qin-phobia for many years, so as not to go to the battlefield and learn that you are going to fight to the death with the Qin army, and your heart will beat the drum; Second, Lian Po is the general of Zhao State after all, and a powerful Wei State is not good for Zhao State in the end.
Even when the need for common hatred was greatest, the two countries, as well as the Xinling Jun and Lian Po who represented them, calculated each other, and this was a game between great powers—all skill, without the slightest emotion.
But no matter what, Lian Po finally took advantage of the night to bring the Wei army to the designated position, in another mountain forest less than ten miles away from the main battlefield.
Looking at the faintly revealing glow of the mountain, Lian Po knew that the rising sun was hiding there, and the final victory was there. It's just that at this time, Lian Po became more cautious and restrained, and immediately ordered the whole army to be repaired and ready to meet the Qin army attacked by the rising sun at any time.
It's just that plans don't always keep up with changes.
Soon, Lian Po, who had just sat down to rest, received the news that the Qin army was attacking overnight.
Don't underestimate this little change, the Qin army attacked overnight, which means that the Qin army must be attacking in rotation, which means that there is always a force to stay vigilant. And he originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army was still sleepy, quietly move closer to the Qin army, and then take advantage of the morning sun to launch a surprise attack on the Qin army from east to west.
And now it seems that such a method is obviously impossible to achieve, and he can't sneak closer to the Qin army at all.
In other words, although the raid was still a raid, it was impossible to appear outside the Qin army's tent like a divine soldier descending from heaven as Lian Po had imagined.
"How often does the Qin army rotate?" Lian Po asked the Tanma who came to report.
"Returning to the General." Tan Mario thought for a moment, and replied softly, "It rotates about once every two hours, and it was just rotated three quarters of an hour ago."
Hearing this, Lian Po nodded slowly. Then he ordered the herald on the side: "Order: The whole army will be repaired on the spot for an hour and a half, and tell General Jin Contempt that the whole army will attack immediately with the three-pillar beacon fire."
"Yes!" The herald immediately took the order and left.
Xinlingjun on the side naturally also heard Lian Po's order, which was obviously different from what he said before he set off, according to the previous arrangement, the army should take advantage of the dawn to slowly move towards the Qin army, and when the rising sun rose, then the slightly dazzling light of the rising sun, from east to west, covered the Qin army.
But now the order is to trim for an hour and a half.
An hour and a half later, it was Shen Shixu, although the sun was not yet in the center, but it was already bright, not only did it not cover the effect of the new entry of its own army, but even the effect of "dazzling" was insufficient.
What's more, the front line had just informed the Qin army that it would attack overnight, and Lian Po, who was concerned about the Zhao army, did not forget the rhythm of the attack in advance, but postponed the time of the attack, which really puzzled Xin Lingjun.
But because of Lian Po's performance along the way, it can be said that he has conquered Xinlingjun. Xin Lingjun believes that there must be a reason why Lian Po temporarily changed the attack plan, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
In the face of the overnight attack of the Qin army, Lian Po was of course anxious, and he couldn't wait to kill the Wei army immediately. But reason told Lian Po that he couldn't do this, even though the Qin army had already entered the army, it was the Qin army! Until the last moment, no one was sure that they would be able to defeat the Qin army.
Therefore, Lian Po must be cautious, cautious and cautious!
In the face of the Qin army's fierce battle overnight, it was already impossible for him to "descend from the sky", so Lian Po had to choose a time when the Qin army was the weakest to launch an attack to increase the chance of defeating the Qin army. And when the Qin army is the weakest, of course, it is because the front strength has been exhausted, and the rear strength has not been achieved
When I was born.
Specifically, it is the time when the newly replaced rotating troops have gone through a certain period of attrition, their fighting spirit is no longer so high, their combat power is no longer so elite, and the replaced teams have also filled their bellies, completely relaxed, ready to rest, and even have been lying down but have not yet fallen asleep, and their combat strength has not recovered.
Such a time should occur between one and two quarters of an hour after the rotation.
Obviously, the best time for this batch of rotating nodes to strike has passed. Some people say that it is just a quarter of an hour past the best time, is it that different? Kill the past now, Zhao Jun can suffer for two hours less, and he can lose a lot less!
A quarter of an hour, fifteen minutes, it's really a big difference!
Science has shown that a fifteen-minute nap can give a person enough energy to support a hard day of work in the afternoon. Of course, Lian Po didn't know such science, but he knew that as long as he was given a fifteen-minute rest after a full meal, he would be able to recover at least three to forty percent of his combat strength when he was exhausted.
And this time the node passed, of course, we can only wait for the next node, that is, about an hour and five quarters of an hour later. And the extra quarter of an hour is the time for the army to prepare.
As for Zhao Jun's losses, Lian Po said: Ci is not in charge of the army!
Looking at Xin Lingjun beside him, who wanted to speak and stopped, Lian Po was not ready to tell him the secret, without him, Wei Guo had an extra general who could fight, which was obviously not very good news for Zhao Guo.
The current Xinlingjun knows a little about military affairs, just right! Although he has keen insight and a rare view of the overall situation, he lacks the ability to control the details of the battle situation and the armies of both sides, and these details, although they are meticulous and add up, can also become his fatal weakness, especially when facing Zhao Jun in the future.
In the world, between countries, there are never eternal enemies, let alone eternal friends. Don't you hear the story of "Wai Wei to save Zhao"? The State of Wei once almost destroyed the State of Zhao.
Of course, if Xinlingjun asked, Lian Po would naturally answer. After all, Lian Po is now commanding the army of Wei, if Xinlingjun wants to stop Lian Po's command, and Lian Po can't move a single soldier, then it will be a big trouble!
However, it is obviously not practical to ask Xinlingjun to pull down his face and ask, after all, it is not as good as only two people in the big tent now, it doesn't matter what you say, the surrounding area is full of big-headed soldiers now......
