Battle of Changping Chapter 195 The Qin army was besieged in order to grab grain

Sima Cuo silently calculated the details of this battle in his heart.

First, the Wei army raided the rear of our army, lured our army to transfer the surrounding troops, and then took advantage of the emptiness of the surrounding cities and barriers to send troops to seize it, so that we could completely trap the tiger and wolf of our Great Qin in the land of Shangdang.

However, this is unreasonable!

If there really are so many troops, it is completely possible to advance from the north to the south, form a complete encirclement of our army, and directly exterminate it, wouldn't it be better!?

Such an act is tantamount to adding fuel to the tactics and is a taboo in the art of war. And how can someone who can lay out such a big picture have such an obvious omission?

For a while, Sima Cuo's head couldn't turn around.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Sima mistakenly got into the tip of a bull's horn. Not all people and all countries will put aside all barriers and unite with the outside world in times of crisis. What's more, the opponents on the opposite side are still from different countries.

The so-called wholehearted cooperation did not exist from the beginning, whether it was Xinlingjun of Wei or Zhao Kuo and Lian Po, they all hoped that the other party would resist the Qin army, and the other party would pay more, and then let their side get more benefits.

Therefore, the Wei army repeatedly postponed its entry into the battlefield, and the Zhao army returned the favor, and its subsequent actions, including the breakthrough of Zhao Kuo's department and the counter-encirclement of Tiandan's department, naturally did not explain to the Wei army.

Of course, from the very beginning, when Zhao Kuo was hiding the army in the Great Grain Mountain, it was impossible for the two armies to meet frankly. It can even be said that from beginning to end, the enemies of the Qin army are only Zhao Kuo and Lian Po, and as for the so-called Wei army, they are just tools invited by Zhao Kuo and Lian Po.

Most of the damage caused by the refueling tactics was only the strength of the Wei army, but it was not a big problem for the Zhao army. Under the premise that the above-mentioned Zhao Jun controls the initiative, the very unreasonable tactics of adding fuel tactics have become reasonable.

Even this is Zhao Kuo's must choose! Otherwise, once the north and south advance against each other, regardless of the distribution of the fruits of victory after the war, coordinating the Wei army on the battlefield would be enough to give Zhao Kuo a headache. In this way, it is better to simply consume the strength of the Wei army.

Of course, although there were doubts in his heart, this did not affect Sima Cuo's determination to order the rescue of food, no matter whether the Wei army on the opposite side knew about his lack of food, it was always right to snatch the food and talk about it.

The so-called heroes saw the same thing, and almost at the same time, the same orders were passed on together in the outer Wang Yu's subordinates.

As a result, tens of thousands of troops immediately turned into a firefighting team, and in the back camp, a cart of mountain springs was sent to the front line, and even Changge, who was carried by the Qin army, was turned into a flat pole, and carried water to pour it on the fire, and the nearby pines and cypresses also suffered, and the branches and leaves of the large pu fan were ruthlessly cut down to extinguish the flames.

It's a pity that once the fire is ignited, how can it be so easily extinguished.

Looking at the Qin army, which had turned from offensive to defensive and was busy fighting the fire, Lian Po knew that if he didn't leave at this time, he might not have a chance!

Immediately, with the last 300 soldiers as the guide, each of them was wrapped in a layer of cloth, and then doused with cold water, and then formed a sharp arrow formation and broke through to the east.

For the breakthrough of the Wei army, Wang Yi, the main general of the outer line, had also foreseen, but he judged that the Wei army should follow the main force to the south, and there were already enough troops in the south to pursue and intercept, plus the need to fight the fire, Wang Yi did not deliberately arrange the troops to block the attack.

I didn't want this Wei army, which was less than 5,000 people, to go the opposite way and go straight to the east.

Because the Qin army was almost unprepared, after breaking through the wall of fire, the Wei army was almost overwhelmed, but in a quarter of an hour, the 5,000 army led by Lian Po had already completed what Xinlingjun's army of more than 60,000 took more than two hours to complete.

Facing the Wei army that fled eastward, Wang Yi was very surprised!

In the east, even if he can break through the Danshui barrier, he will also enter the sphere of influence of Zhao State, and this Wei army will not return to the country, is it going to be an errand for Zhao Jun?

It's just that now Wang Ji doesn't have the heart to think more, and how to save more food is his top priority. As for the thousands of remnants in the Wei Military Region, to be honest, Wang Di really didn't see it, even if he was foreseeing it on the battlefield, a team of 1,000 people under his command could rush him to the ground

It's here.

Immediately, 5,000 soldiers were symbolically sent to pursue the Wei army, while the rest of the soldiers put everything aside and devoted themselves to the great cause of fighting fires and saving food.

Riding on the war horse, Lian Po, who highlighted the encirclement, breathed a long sigh of relief: Dangerous! It's too dangerous!

If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army was too tight on those grains, if it weren't for the fact that more than half of the troops on the periphery had been taken away by Xinlingjun, and if it weren't for the fact that he had held on to the three hundred soldiers and refused to fight, he might have been buried in the sea of fire.

Even if the Qin army was almost defenseless, it still maintained a strong combat power and will to fight, if it weren't for the soldiers desperately tearing a gap, it was really possible to be sealed in the camp by the Qin army.

And even if everything went according to Lian Po's vision, the Wei army still paid a huge price. From the beginning to the end of the breakthrough, the distance of the charge was only two miles, and the time was only a quarter of an hour, but in such a short distance and time, the soldiers under the command of Lian Po were once again sharply reduced from 5,000 to less than 3,000.

The strength of the Qin army's combat power can be seen.

Well, of course, the weakness of the Wei army is also visible to the naked eye.

But no matter what, Lian Po finally rushed out, although there was still a small tail behind him. Lian Po didn't care about this, there was his own army in front, only 5,000 Qin soldiers, and even Lian Po wanted to slow down a little, and the back of this little tail was already a welcome gift to the friendly troops of the barrier! I believe that General Tiandan will be happy to accept such a gift.

Just thinking of the combat power of Wei Jun's crotch pulling, Lian Po finally gave up this tempting idea. There's no way to do anything with the guy in your hand, once you get rid of it, I'm afraid that you will also be involved, and it will be a little more than worth the loss.

Although the five thousand Qin soldiers could not be swallowed, the Qin army wanted to extinguish the fire and save food, but it was also a fool's dream.

The grain poured with fire oil, coupled with a circle of wooden walls to help burn, is impossible to extinguish without a large amount of water poured in a short period of time. Even if one accidentally burned the entire camp, the losses of the Qin army would not be small.

Just thinking about it, a shallow smile slowly appeared on Lian Po's face, which was not only a blessing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but also a schadenfreude for the huge losses that the Qin army was about to face.

Halfway through, the Qin army, which pursued fruitlessly, could only obey Wang Di's general orders, hastily collected his troops and returned to the camp, and looking at the distant figure of the Qin army, Lian Po's mood became better and better.
