The Battle of Changping Chapter 168 Quiet Game in Psychological Warfare

And all of this is what Zhao Kuo and Lian Po wanted. Even if the Wei army failed to break through the Qin army's defense line as quickly as expected, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for the Zhao army as a whole.

Although the raid battle can kill and injure a large number of the Qin army's combat power, the positional warfare like a meat grinder can make both the Qin and Wei armies lose and lose.

Of course, there is still a danger, that is, once the Wei army collapses, the Zhao army is very likely to collapse in an instant because of the combat strength, so even if the army in the mountains of Daliang can lock the party around, Zhao Kuo and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are bound to hate the party.

The best way, of course, is for the Zhao army to continue to hold the fortress with peace of mind, wait for the Qin and Wei armies to fight to the death, and wait for them to reap their profits. It can be inferred from the combat strength of the Qin and Wei armies now, although the Wei army has the advantage of a surprise attack, the Qin army still needs to divide troops to hold the Zhao army, but gradually the Qin army that the naked eye can see is already beginning to launch a counterattack, if the Zhao army does not make a move, the Wei army may not be the opponent of the Qin army soon.

The Wei army must not fall, at least until the Great Grain Mountain army completes the encirclement, and before Zhao Wei's 20,000 army breaks through the Light Wolf City and cuts off the grain and grass of the Qin army, the Wei army must not fall!

"Three days!" Zhao Kuoyou continued to secretly set the countdown in his heart. As long as it takes three days, Zhao Kuo believes that as long as it takes three days, Zhao Wei will definitely be able to arrive at and break through the Qin army's logistics terminal - Guangwolf City, and Tiandan's department will definitely be able to completely close the doors on the east and south sides.

"Order all the armies in the northwest to draw half of their forces and reinforce the southeast; All the fortresses, all positions, and all the troops in the southeast immediately attacked on all fronts, and tore through the Qin army's defense line at all costs to join forces with General Lian Po!" Zhao Kuo ordered coldly.

He knew that if this ruthless order continued, the army on the front line, tens of thousands of soldiers who might not have to die, would lose their lives because of this. Even he himself will be in danger because of this military order.

Once it loses its fortress and geographical advantages, mixed with a large number of young and strong, and has experienced several fierce battles, the Zhao army, which is in danger of combat strength, is no match for the elite Qin army even if it has a morale bonus now.

Qiang charged out, in addition to huge casualties, Zhao Kuo couldn't think of any benefits for himself at all, and even if the losses were too heavy, the Qin army would take advantage of the situation to kill, perhaps......

But Zhao Kuo had to do this! Both internally and externally, he must take a stand!

Internally, reinforcements are close at hand, and if you don't send troops, you will definitely not be able to say it; Externally, it is even more necessary for his soldiers to appease the Wei army with their lives, so that they can continue to fight with the Qin army.

"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety", Zhao Kuo didn't want to fall in these ninety miles, so he had to use the bones and blood of himself and his soldiers to pave the last ten miles.

Everyone knows: the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. But who knows how much effort the fisherman spent and how much effort he spent in order to make the sandpiper and clam fight, and at the last moment of the profit: how many dangers the fisherman had to go through and how long he had to wait.

The arrow wound on his body had just scabbed, and Zhao Kuo immediately supported the injured body, and with the support of his own soldiers, he came to the various positions on the front line. There is only one purpose: to motivate the soldiers and fight bravely.

As the counterattack of the Zhao army finally came, the last reserve army under Sima Cuo was forced out, and the night finally came.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, no matter who Qin, Wei, or Zhao Sanjun are.

The current battlefield format is:

On the frontal battlefield, Sima Cuo held less than 70,000 combat strength, resisted the two-sided attack of the Wei army's 120,000 troops and the Zhao army's more than 60,000 troops, and had already abandoned the peripheral positions on the southeast and retreated to the village; Facing the Zhao army in the northwest, the Qin army was quite comfortable.

The more than 90,000 troops in the north and west of the Qin army have all shrunk, and they are facing off against the less than 30,000 troops left in the Zhao army, and no one dares to move easily; And the 40,000 troops drawn from the Light Wolf City, Jiepai Ridge, and the east and west barriers were quietly encircling the Wei army's flank and rear on three sides.

Further out, there are 100,000 Zhao troops in the Great Grain Mountain, slowly advancing towards the lifeblood of the Qin army in the dark night.

Lighting a bonfire, on the battlefield, as the news of the Zhao army's entry into the battlefield reached the Wei army, the situation of the Qin army became more and more difficult.

"Newspaper:

The southeast corner of the camp is lost! The 3,000 troops of the Wei army have broken through, so please make a quick decision to the general."

"Report: The former army is under-strengthened, and the Zhaimen is in danger, please send reinforcements as soon as possible."

An urgent report resounded in Sima Cuo's account, one crisis has not been dealt with, another crisis has come, in the face of the strong oppression of the Wei army, the current Qin army has become like an old water pipe, leaking almost everywhere.

Sima Cuo is a general who has experienced wind and waves, and in the face of such a situation, he also behaved unhurriedly, which has a kind of meaning of "soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth".

"The Rui Shi immediately sent 2,000 men to the southeast corner to block the attacking Wei army."

After thinking about it for a while, Sima Coo, who had no rice to cook, could only demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and then continued to order: "The Zhao army will transfer another 1,500 troops on the side, and together with 500 personal soldiers, reinforce the Zhaimen."

The calm voice instantly reached everyone's ears, and this short sentence was not only an order, but also Sima Cuo's calm mentality. God knows how much a firm command will inspire everyone in such a fierce and hesitant battle.

"The general doesn't seem to be panicking at all!" The crowd whispered.

"That's it! General Sima hasn't seen anything, Bashu knows! General Sima's 5,000 soldiers were surrounded by the 200,000 allied troops of Bashu, and in the end, guess what?" I don't know where to drill a "jack of all trades" and stir at everyone's heartstrings.

"What's wrong?" One of them hurriedly asked.

"My king has already sent a 50,000 elite army to the lair of the Bashu army, and General Sima is here to attract the Bashu coalition army." That person didn't sell it, and quietly told the battle of Bashu in a different way.

"Yes, yes! I've heard of it too! When the Bashu coalition army learned that the nest was attacked, they hurriedly retreated, but were pursued by General Sima's 5,000 troops and slaughtered. The battle of Bashu is decided!" The idlers on the side also immediately helped.

"So, we're fighting today?" The person who asked the question just now seemed to have discovered something, and almost screamed.

"Silence! This is a secret, and it cannot be passed on!" Jack-of-all-trades immediately blocked the way.

......

Soon, with Sima Cuo's calm orders, a wave of confidence was also invisibly transmitted to other people in the military tent, and the calmness of the Chinese military tent was as calm as ever, and it slowly rippled into all the Qin troops that were blocked like ripples on the water.

Even the herald was not as eager as he had just been, clenching his fists and taking his orders, and walked away with his hands held high.

Obviously, psychological warfare is not just something that Zhao Kuo can fight.
