Battle of Changping Chapter 189 Qin and Wei are preparing for battle
Bai Qi still has the last hope, what if something happens in the city and is delayed, or maybe there is some landslide accident on the way? Although Bai Qi also knew that such a possibility was almost minimal, even if it was a landslide disaster, it would be impossible for more than ten waves of messengers to be silent.
Of course, the reason for sending scouts is not just for the hope of what if. The so-called "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible", it is more that Bai Qi needs to know who his opponent is.
"Yes, one light and one dark, investigate three accurate situations." The scout camp leader was not ambiguous at all, and immediately took the token and repeated Bai Qi's command.
"Third, after today's battle, all battalions of grain will be collected and distributed by the Chinese army." Bai Qi looked at the quartermaster and said, "From tomorrow, from this general, one meal a day, one meal and one tael ration."
"Yes!" The quartermaster immediately agreed.
Bai Qi knew that the shortage of military rations could not be concealed, so it was better to control the military rations first, and if he could last one more day, that would be the hope of one day. Of course, in order to avoid affecting the upcoming battle, Bai Qi still postponed the order to collect military rations and control food until tomorrow.
And Sima Cuo, who heard this order, naturally knew the deep meaning of Bai Qi: the Wei army must be solved today.
"Let's do it!" Bai Qi waved his hand, and all the generals immediately saluted together and came out.
Bai Qi, who was sitting in the tent, was not idle, wrote a silk book, and began to draft a report to the King of Qin asking for help. Although Bai Qi was not 100% sure that the Light Wolf City had been lost, and even the scouts he had just sent out had not yet left the camp, Bai Qi's inner uneasiness told him that perhaps the situation was more dangerous than he imagined.
There was even a moment when Bai Qi wanted to withdraw his troops and rush back to Light Wolf City.
But reason told him he couldn't. The situation in the light wolf city is not clear now, if it returns to the army with one or two thousand partial divisions, it is afraid that it will be broken by the enemy army, but if the whole army retreats, then the Wei army in front of it is a big trouble, although its combat power is average, but there are still nearly 100,000 troops in the end, and the rash withdrawal is to give the Wei army a chance.
Therefore, the annihilation of the Wei army in front of it is the top priority of the Qin army now. As for the follow-up actions, I'm afraid we still have to wait for the scout's return to decide.
Of course, this does not contradict asking for help from the King of Qin.
As the god of war of the Qin State, writing such a letter asking for help, especially when it is very likely that your side will be besieged by an unknown army.
But Bai Qi did not hesitate at all, just like before this battle, the entire Qin court, including his sworn enemy Fan Sui, unanimously recommended Bai to go out of the mountain to command this battle. And Bai Qi knew that he was highly meritorious, and he took over the tiger talisman of the whole army without hesitation.
Without him, it was just for the victory of the Qin State.
Whenever the country is in danger, the old Qin people will always put aside all their prejudices and go to the fire together for the Qin country.
The so-called "old Qin, go to the national disaster together" is like this. Compared with the national fortunes of the Qin State, in Bai Qi's eyes, his slight gains and losses and reputation are not worth mentioning at all.
Suddenly, a military newspaper was written.
The sergeant in charge of the carrier pigeon was summoned, and the silk book was carefully handed over and instructed carefully.
Soon, the carrier pigeon, which had always been strong, took off from the Chinese army and flapped its wings in the opposite direction of the sun.
Under the rising sun, the Qin army commanded by Sima Cuo had also completed the formation, ready to launch the final blow against the Wei army in front of him.
At this time, there was also a lot of noise in the Wei army's tent. Lian Po, Xinlingjun and Jin Con are fighting over the map, to be precise, Xinling Jun and Jin Con are arguing about breaking through. Due to the urgency of the war, the two did not pursue too much about why the Qin army could come together.
If it was an ordinary time, Lian Po would not mind sitting and watching the internal struggle of the Wei army, and even arch the fire to deepen the estrangement between the two. Only now, apparently not the time.
Feeling the temperature in the tent gradually rising, Lian Po knew that the sun had gradually risen, and the corresponding Qin army's attack might be in the next moment, and there was no point in fighting any longer. He immediately interrupted Xin Lingjun's words, waved his hand and said, "You two don't need to argue any more! The army of the queen of the palace will be in charge of this future! The army that broke through was by Jin
General Contempt is in charge, and Xinlingjun is in charge of the Chinese army."
After that, Lian Po looked up at the two, and the two had no opinion on this, some were just surprised and admired.
Unexpectedly, Lian Po, as the general of the Zhao army, would take the initiative to stay behind the palace, you must know that the army of the palace will not be able to return nine times out of ten. Of course, what I admire is Lian Po's mind and responsibility.
Of course, Lian Po also knew the danger of His Royal Highness, but there was really no other way than for him to take the initiative to take this responsibility.
Needless to say, Xinlingjun is the main general in the true sense of the army in terms of identity, and it is impossible to ask the main general to be the queen, and in terms of ability, he does not have the ability to break the queen;
What about Jin Contempt? If it is an ordinary partial general, it is the best choice for the queen of the palace, but Jin Contempt has another identity - the representative of the King of Wei in the army, if Jin Contempt dies in the broken queen, and the Wei army has suffered too much losses in this battle, what do you make the King of Wei think?
Therefore, no matter whether it was Xinlingjun or Jin Contempt just now, no matter how fierce the discussion was, it was only talking about the direction of the breakthrough and the distribution of troops, but it never touched on the fundamental question of who would break the rear.
Instead of letting them continue to discuss meaninglessly, it is better to take down the work of this palace, so that Lian Po will have more say in the layout of the battle situation - against? That's okay, you come to the back of the palace.
Of course, Lian Po's move to put himself and himself in danger is not just to end the discussion and grasp the right to speak. There is a more important task for his stay, but of course, this is a story for another time.
Lian Po looked around at the two of them, and saw that neither of them had any objections, so he immediately began to grasp the right to speak: "The allocation of troops, there will be 20,000 elites, and the two of them have no objections, right?"
Xin Lingjun and Jin Con glanced at each other, although they had a thousand words in their hearts, they could only keep their mouths shut. They knew very well that Lian Po's requirements were not high, and 20,000 soldiers had to hold back the Qin army's nearly 100,000 troops, which was really not much. But the key problem is that among the 20,000 elites, the last more than 1,000 soldiers of the Wei army cannot be included, after all, whether they can break through or not depends on watching more than 1,000 soldiers.
Of course, Lian Po understood their thoughts, and immediately said, "One thousand soldiers and 30,000 troops followed General Jin to open the way out, and the remaining less than four hundred soldiers followed the general's palace. The other 30,000 troops were deployed with Xinling Jun. How so?"
The eyes of the two people who heard the words were full of surprise, they thought that Lian Po was going to leave all the soldiers, but they didn't know how to speak, but Lian Po made concessions first, and this made the big step far beyond the expectations of the two - they just wanted to leave half of the soldiers to be satisfied.
Of course, Lian Po's arrangement is not without a price.
