Battle of Changping Chapter 167 Misjudging the Situation and Moving the Three Armies

Obviously, after this incident, the upper echelons of the Wei State gradually realized the importance of having more troops, but the record of 50,000 soldiers defeating 500,000 Qin troops in the Battle of Hexi is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

So Wei became the most embarrassing one of the seven heroes.

It was the first to complete the change, and it has the most and most profound experience, especially one of the changes, the infinite glory of Wei Wushu, which still shines in the hearts and minds of Wei people. Under such circumstances, the contradiction between the elite soldiers and the riot soldiers was almost irreconcilable in the Wei State.

If the national strength is strong, it is a big deal to develop on two fronts, grasp it with both hands, and both hands can be hard - there are not only the core Wei Wushu who attacked the fortification, but also enough troops to push flat. However, with the repeated loss of the three counties of Hexi, Hedong and Hanoi, the Wei State could no longer afford to maintain the consumption of both hands.

So, an awkward situation arises.

The elite Wei Wushu has always maintained a number of thousands, which is much more than the sharp soldiers of the Qin army, but the elite level has decreased, which is not enough to completely suppress and picture at a certain node; But the number of thousands is not enough to decide the trend of the battle in a big battle of hundreds of thousands of troops as usual.

The sharp knife bar is not sharp enough, and the heavy hammer bar is not strong enough, it is difficult to attack and retreat.

How so? It's embarrassing.

But the thousands of soldiers who didn't have much effect took away the already modest military budget of the Wei State, which also caused the Wei State to not be able to develop more troops, and it was even about the same as the strength of the Han Zhiguo, which had always existed at the bottom of the Seven Kingdoms, and even the training of the only 100,000 troops was insufficient.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Wei army had such a disjointed situation on the battlefield.

It's a pity that the upper echelons of the Wei State will never realize this, in their eyes, the Wei army has both a sharp knife and a thick force, not to mention returning to the top, but it is definitely not weak. If it is not fought well, it must be the problem of the main general, and it is absolutely impossible that the system and mechanism that once dominated it are not adaptable.

But the battlefield is never accustomed to anyone, it is always a mirror of honesty, and it is a mule or a horse walking on it, and it is all reflected.

But the question is whether the generals can understand it, and even if they do, whether they can feed back such a problem to the top management, and whether the top management will adopt it.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Lian Po!

Looking at the slow advance ahead, and then looking at the almost disconnected front and back connections, Lian Po immediately discovered the problem of the disparity in combat power among the Wei army.

is in the same situation as Sima Cuo, Lian Po is facing a situation that cannot be opened for a long time, although he is also anxious, but there is no better way, he can only use his life to pile up!

In today's battlefield, there is no strategy at all, what is fought is strength, that is, who can hold on to the last moment.

"The 30,000 foot soldiers of the Chinese army pressed on the front, and the 20,000 soldiers attacked the Qin army's flank and rear in two directions, left and right!" Lian Po slowly ordered.

"Yes!" The herald on the side immediately took the order.

The 50,000-strong army then accelerated away from the Chinese army and joined the front. And the arrival of this 50,000 army really relieved the Jin contempt, who was already a little dizzy - it was clear that the Qin army was already at the end of the strong crossbow, but he led the most elite 30,000 troops of the Wei army, but he couldn't break through the defense line of the Qin army.

Reinforcements have arrived, and the momentum of the Wei army has been greatly boosted, and the mighty will go to the Qin army.

The reinforcements of the Wei army arrived here, and the troops of the Qin army's attack fortress over there finally withdrew to their own positions at this time and joined the defense, but where would the Qin army, which had been fighting hard for more than half an hour, be the opponent of the Wei army's new force, and because of the existence of the Zhao army, more than half of the retreating Qin army still needed to stay on the other side to prevent the Zhao army's sudden attack.

Under such an increase and a decrease, even if both sides received reinforcements, it was obvious that the support of the Wei army would be stronger, and it was manifested on the battlefield: the Qin army was beaten back again and again by the Wei army, and it was about to be forced to move into the defense of the camp.

Of course, the arrival of the main force of the Wei army and the withdrawal of the Qin army's assault corps also announced that this surprise battle, which took several hours, was completely forced to transform into a positional war.

From a strategic point of view, the Wei army's surprise attack was undoubtedly a failure. Chisel through the Qin army

The strategic intention of the front and the Zhao army was not realized, let alone the encirclement of the Qin army.

However, judging from the actual results, this raid successfully disrupted the deployment of the Qin army, and led to heavy losses of the Qin army on the frontal battlefield and several sub-battlefields, and it is conservatively estimated that at least 40,000 horses and horses of the Qin army were hated on the spot in this raid, and the losses of the Zhao-Wei coalition army were even less than 10,000.

With a four-to-one battle loss ratio, it is a hearty victory wherever it is placed! Moreover, the losses of the Qin army are still increasing over time, and as long as the situation of internal and external attacks does not change fundamentally, then the demise of the remaining Qin army will be a matter of time.

Such a situation is almost on the bright side. Xin Lingjun knows, Lian Po knows, and Bai Qi understands. Naturally, as the "initiator" of this battle, Zhao Kuo, is even clearer.

However, the understanding of the situation is very different.

Xin Lingjun and Jin Cong firmly believed that the balance of victory had completely tilted in favor of Zhao Wei, and that as long as other countries intervened, or the Qin king could send out a considerable number of reinforcements, the defeat of the Qin army would be a sure thing. Unbelief? Look at the main force of the Qin army that is constantly retreating, and the Qin army camp that is close in front of you.

Bai Qi has absolute confidence in his subordinates, even if the current situation has collapsed, as long as the peripheral troops arrive, he can immediately form a counter-encirclement of the Wei army, and the outcome is still unknown.

Of course, it cannot be said that they are wrong.

It's just that because they have limited information, wrong perceptions lead them to wrong judgments.

Xin Lingjun and Jin Yi misestimated the combat strength of their 120,000 Wei army, and at the same time misunderstood Zhao Kuo's troops. They thought that the Zhao army in the encirclement would soon launch an attack, so that they would join forces with them from inside and outside, so even if the Qin army mobilized tens of thousands of troops from the pass, it would only be a salary to fight the fire.

In fact, the few remaining elite combat forces of the Zhao army in the encirclement were all transferred by Zhao Kuo to attack Light Wolf City. Even if it weren't for the fear that the Wei army would hesitate, even the counterattack with the remaining combat power, Zhao Kuo would still want to wait a little longer.

As for Wu Anjun Bai Qi, his analysis and judgment of the strength and combat power of both sides are obviously much more accurate than those of Xinling Jun, but he will never calculate that when Zhao Kuo is in such a desperate situation, he still has a hole card full of 100,000 elite soldiers that has not been opened.
