Battle of Changping Chapter 193 Xinling broke through and Lian Po defended
It has to be said that the strength of the Qin army lies not only in its strong bow and crossbow, not only in its extremely strong individual combat ability, but also in its changeable tactics and resoluteness and coordination in the execution of tactics.
Even though the current Qin army has been in danger of personal combat strength due to long-term fierce battles, its flexible strategic and tactical changes have made the Wei army helpless, and the losses of the Wei army have also risen.
But both Xin Lingjun and Jin Cong turned a blind eye to the Qin army's wonderful tactical adjustments, and even turned a deaf ear to their own losses.
Without him, because it's worth it. Although the Wei army suffered a lot of losses, it was also advancing rapidly. Moreover, with the continuation of today's battle losses, breaking through the Qin army's front, the loss of troops is at most more than 10,000 and less than 20,000 horses.
Compared with the safe escape of the main force, the loss of more than 10,000 and 20,000 people is obviously acceptable to Xinlingjun and Jin Contempt, not to mention that the Wei army is now losing most of the teams with low combat power.
It's just that they never dreamed that breaking through the Qin army's front was just the first level.
Nearly two hours later, the time has come to the second quarter of the hour, and the sun has gradually risen, but there is no sense of heat as before.
On the ground, the vanguard corps led by Jin Qi finally approached the periphery of the Qin army, and Bai Qi's headquarters gradually advanced the defense line in front of the Wei army camp, and the Qin army, which had been divided, gradually became one.
It was also at this time that the Qin army's attack on the Wei army camp suddenly slowed down.
It turned out that Bai Qi received a message from Wang Di and learned that the Wei army was about to break out of the siege, so he quickly adjusted the battlefield strength again: "First, the internal Sima Co Division immediately slowed down the attack, and after Wang Di's Department closed the siege, it was attacked from both sides; Second, Sima Coo's division of 20,000 troops, and Wang Ji's division of 10,000 troops, prepared to pursue the Wei army that could not escape, and together with Wang Cai's department, completely annihilated the Wei army fleeing south."
Soon, the Qin army made adjustments, and Lian Po's department also ushered in a rare respite.
Lian Po knew that after the calm, there would be a storm, and there was still an hour left, and the Qin army had gradually appeared behind him, thinking that they should be about to break through to Lingjun.
In less than two hours, he was about to break through, which was a bit unexpected by Lian Po.
"If you could have such combat power two days ago, why do you need to run away in embarrassment now?" Lian Po thought helplessly.
That's right, in Zhao Kuo and Lian Po's assumptions, the best situation should be that the Wei army led by Lian Po to raid the Qin army succeeded, and then joined Zhao Kuo, and then more than 100,000 coalition troops fought with the Qin army in Shangdang, and in the end, whether the coalition army was defeated or the Qin army won a tragic victory, it was okay.
In the end, the army of Daliang Mountain attacked and wiped out the dying Qin army in one fell swoop.
In this way, there will be a lot less twists and turns, and the losses of the Zhao army will be minimized, at least, Lian Po will not have to bother to burn the grain, and the Qin army will have a lot less room to turn around.
It's just that everything is fate, and it's not up to anyone.
The Wei army, which was pinned on high hopes, except for the three thousand soldiers, whose combat strength was not bad, the combat power of the rest of the soldiers was simply indescribable, and in the face of the Qin army's not wide depth, the Wei army had not been able to complete the breakthrough; And the remnants of the army that have been crippled and are mostly young and strong Zhao troops are even more unable to break the siege, which gives the Qin army the opportunity to calmly deploy and rejoin the siege.
But what makes a good strategy good is that it is flexible and able to fully tolerate all kinds of surprises in the process of tactical execution.
At this time, Zhao Wei's plan to advance north and south could not be carried out in place, but it did not prevent the formation of a strategic encirclement of the Qin army. It's just that in order to make up for the problems caused by the lack of combat power of the Wei army, both the Zhao army and the Wei army need to pay more costs.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo needed to take advantage of the night to lead the army to break through;
Therefore, Lian Po needs to be willing to take risks and find ways to burn the grain;
Therefore, Xinlingjun could only take the remnants with him and hurriedly fled on the road to death;
Even, the four sects of the Shangdang still need to undergo a strict test - the death of the Qin army!
But at this point, Lian Po has nothing to complain about
, It is not easy to fight a bad battle to the point where it is now, and after fighting with the Qin army for three years, Lian Po knows the combat power of the Qin army too well. With 100,000 oil bottles, it is terrifying to be able to fight with the Qin army to such an extent.
Of course, when you burn out the grain, you will draw a perfect end to this damn battle.
"There is still an hour!" Looking at the Weizi military banner that had gradually faded away, Lian Po silently told himself in his heart.
Before Lian Po continued to enjoy, an eager voice had already arrived.
"General, the Qin army is strong, please help from the front line!" A herald got down on one knee and clasped his fists in his hands.
"Report: The rear army has broken through, and the Qin army is coming together, please make a decision quickly." Another herald brings a message of danger.
"General!" The martial arts captain who was resting on the side immediately asked for his life when he heard this, as the ceiling of the Wei army's combat strength, although it was only three hundred, but it has been repaired since it was distributed to Lian Po, and it has been two full hours, eating and drinking and sleeping well, but watching his comrades bathe in blood, this is obviously not what the soldiers are happy with. Especially at this time of peril
Just before the captain finished speaking, Lian Po waved his hand and interrupted him: "It's not your time yet, take a good rest, after an hour, I want you to be in the best condition."
"Yes!" Hearing this, the captain of the military commander immediately received the order, obviously a few days of marching battles, the Wei army, including the soldiers, still has great trust and recognition in Lian Po, the general of the Zhao State.
Immediately, Lian Po said to the herald: "Tell the whole army on the front line that we have no reinforcements, and we must hold on for another hour, and after an hour, our army will have a chance to break through."
"Yes!" Two heralds were also immediately ordered.
Although I don't know how they still have a chance to break through after being surrounded, the herald did not ask, and the Wei army did not suspect it, and since the dispatch of troops, General Lian Po has never lost his word. And the generals who can stay with them are more willing to believe in him.
Of course, holding on for another hour is not only because Lian Po is trustworthy, but also because Lian Po also needs Xinlingjun to move the Qin army on the periphery and move it to a long enough distance, so that he will have a better chance to break out of the encirclement after setting fire.
It's just that this hour is obviously very sad for the Wei army on the front line.
But if it's not good, you have to get through it, even if you use your life, you have to drag it out.
The Lian Po department here is not having a good time, and the Wei army that has broken through over there is not having a good time.
