The Battle of Changping Chapter 169 The One Who Travels a Hundred Miles is Half Ninety
Under Sima Cuo's unremitting efforts, the Qin army's front finally stabilized. Although dozens of Qin troops were killed on the spot almost every moment, Sima Cuo believed that as long as he continued to stabilize for one day, the balance of victory would be tilted in favor of Qin again!
At least, that's the news from Pegasus, who was sent by Bai Qi! The reinforcements from the three places have already been drawn at night, and even the flying pigeon messenger to the King of Qin for reinforcements has been issued, and if you hold on, you will be able to complete the encirclement of the Wei army from a broader space.
The fact is indeed thinking about the direction that Bai Qi expected.
It's just that what Bai Qi didn't know was that there were more Zhao troops on his periphery, and they were preparing to take advantage of the gap between his troops to sneak attack the pass and completely block the Shangdang battlefield.
Some people may ask why Bai Qi didn't just retreat or stay put, and also trapped the Zhao-Wei coalition army in the Shangdang area, since the Zhao army could lock up the Qin army through the barriers, Jiepai Ling, and Guangwolf City.
Let's start with the retreat program.
If Bai Qi broke his wrist and directly retreated to the Light Wolf City with 100,000 troops in the northeast, and at the same time ordered the armies on both sides in the southwest to break through in the direction of Jiepai Ling, then the Zhao Wei coalition army would not be able to stop it.
Of course, the losses of the Qin army will not be less. A slightly better army in the northeast would have 60,000 horses to escape; The southwest side will be worse, and it would be nice to have 30,000 horses and horses finally flee to the land of wood.
So what's next? The more than 10,000 defenders of the fortress were quickly wiped out by the Wei army, and the troops of Jiepailing were forced to retreat to Hanoi under the powerful offensive of the Zhao-Wei coalition forces.
Although in the end, the Qin army was able to preserve nearly half of its combat strength, but in the territory of Shangdang, I am afraid that only the Light Wolf City can be defended. lu
Once the Jiepai Ridge is lost, the Qin army's important material supply channel will be cut off, and if you want to defend the Light Wolf City, you must come from Hedong County across the Kongcang Ridge. Kongcangling, that was the first line of defense arranged by Lian Po after arriving in Shangdang County, although General Wang Yi took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Zhao army at that time and immediately sent troops to defeat the Zhao army.
But to be selected by Lian Po as the first line of defense to block the Qin army, not to mention the danger, and if the Qin army needs to cross this ridge for a long time to transport supplies and supplies, the loss is self-evident.
On the other hand, on the Zhao Wei side, with Jiepai Ridge in hand, the Wei army could export materials to the coalition army at any time by taking the flat route of Zhou Wangji. Although Zhao has been hollowed out, Wei is an old power, although it is now in decline, but in the end, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, God knows how much inventory Wei still has - the name of the rivers and mountains in the table is not covered.
Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the Zhao-Wei coalition army does not even need to fight against the Light Wolf City, and wait for the Qin army's supplies to be urgent, and the Qin army will retreat if it does not retreat.
If the real battle is at this point, the Shangdang battle will be undefeated and defeated.
This is obviously unacceptable to Wu Anjun Bai Qi no matter what.
So can you be stationed on the spot and trap the coalition forces?
Apparently not! Without him, there are not enough troops!
Whether it's a frontal battlefield or a defender in three places. On the frontal battlefield, the Qin army still had 200,000 troops, but under the surprise attack of the Wei army, the loss of combat power was very large, and the Zhao-Wei coalition army still had about 200,000 after the war. What's even worse is that the whole battlefield presents a situation where you have me, and I have you.
His own soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and it is not a big problem to fight the equally tired Zhao army, but it is obviously not enough to fight the Wei army that has come to recuperate; Coupled with the shortage of troops, as well as the fact that the battlefield was divided by the Zhao army, and it was difficult for them to reach their own reinforcements, it was obvious that if the Qin army did not move the reinforcements, it would definitely suffer a loss on the frontal battlefield, or even a big loss.
And once the Qin army suffered a big loss on the frontal battlefield, there were only more than 10,000 defenders everywhere, and it was obvious that it would not be able to stop the Zhao and Wei coalition forces at all, so the strategy of trapping the army could not be completed.
Therefore, unless Bai Qi admits defeat and immediately leads his troops back to Hedong and Hanoi, otherwise, if Bai Qi still has a little bit of a desire to win, the best and only way in front of Bai Qi is to make a desperate bet, transfer troops to help, mobilize all forces, and give the Wei army a counter-encirclement.
On the Zhao army's side, the 120,000 army, although it is not much, is enough to trap the remnants of the Qin army after the battle.
Of course, the premise is that it cannot be discovered by the Qin army in advance, otherwise,
Although there are only 10,000 Qin troops stationed there, it is enough to delay the Zhao army for a certain time, and this time is enough for the flying pigeon to send a message to Bai Qi. And Bai Qi, once he knows that the Zhao army still has a new force that has not appeared, I am afraid that he will immediately order a retreat.
At that time, perhaps the Qin army will still withdraw from the party.
But after all, the Qin army still retained most of its combat strength, and with the temperament of the Qin State, I am afraid that it will make waves again in two years and attack the party again! By then, will the Zhao army fight or not?
Moreover, if the Qin army is allowed to leave, the Qin army, which retains most of its troops, will inevitably defend Hedong and Hanoi counties, and if the Wei army "invites" the Zhao army to attack Hanoi, should the Zhao army not?
If he responds, in the territory of the Qin army, he will fight with Bai Qi and the Qin army like mourning soldiers, and Zhao Kuo and Lian Po obviously do not have such confidence. If you are not careful, it is not impossible for the whole army to be wiped out.
But if it shouldn't, first, you can't get over it morally, and the Wei State is here to save your Zhao State, and the second is that the ownership of this Shangdang land, maybe Xinling Jun, who has an army of 100,000 troops, will have a good talk with you Zhao State.
Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety!
In the encirclement, Zhao Kuo gambled with his life and the lives of 100,000 Zhao troops to go to the front line in person, just to pave the last ten miles of the Zhao army to victory;
In the Great Grain Mountain, under the gaze of 100,000 soldiers, invisible pressure was quietly projected onto Tian Dan's body. He knew that his decision, even a moment and a half of the difference, would completely affect the direction of the entire battle.
Just like the night of the "Fire Bull Rushing Battle", but the country behind him has changed from the State of Qi to the State of Zhao.
With such an important ending in the future of him as an outsider, Tian Dan did not admire Zhao Kuo's courage, especially since he was once the political enemy of his father, Ma Fujun, and his mind was so big-minded that Lin Xiangru would be ashamed to know it! The urge to die for his confidant haunts me.
It's just that this finale is really not good!
It's good, and it's rejuvenated; stinks, although it will not lose all the games, but it will also make the future completely obscure, not only the future of Zhao Guo and Zhao Jun, but also his own! The layout of more than a month, it's up to you!
He took a deep breath and looked at the bright moon overhead.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and I get rid of all other thoughts and look at the burning gaze in front of me.
