Battle of Changping Chapter 214 Concealed march to wait for dawn
Bowing slightly, after thanking the king, Fan Sui immediately continued to add: "My king: without further ado, Weichen will immediately go to prepare and strive to make the trip before the time comes."
"It's hard work." King Qin nodded slightly.
Immediately, Fan Sui was about to retreat, but as if he had thought of something, he saluted again and said, "Before leaving, there are still two things, please ask me Wang Sizhi."
"Xiangguo, please." King Qin also hurriedly replied.
"In other words, don't think about victory before you think about defeat." Fan Sui said slowly: "First, although Wei Chen is going here, although he is sixty percent sure, the major affairs of the military state are completely taken from the heart of King Zhao, in case ...... My king needs a little bit of preparation."
King Qin nodded and said, "Xiangguo rest assured, the widow will immediately transfer 20,000 troops from Chu to secretly go north, and the 20,000 troops will not affect the overall situation of Chu land. Once things are not harmonious, the troops that Guanzhong is now recruiting plus the troops of Chu should be enough to deal with, and no matter how bad it is, it will only be a matter of time before Guanzhong levies tens of thousands of troops."
"My king had a plan." Fan Sui continued: "Of the two, as stated in Wu Anjun's silk book, Zhao is suspected of deceiving the Wei army, and he also suggests that we do something about it. Therefore, according to the will of Wei Chen, the king can send an envoy to Wei State, if it can be said that Wei State can be mobilized to send troops, then a major event can be accomplished, even if it can't, it can also divide the relationship between Zhao and Wei, which is conducive to Wei Chen's actions in Handan."
"What Sangkook said is reasonable." King Qin agreed, "The widow will arrange personnel."
"Thank you, King!" Fan Sui bowed slightly, which was regarded as the final farewell.
Under the sun, Fan Sui's figure gradually disappeared into the main hall, and King Qin looked at the blue sky outside the door and gradually became distracted. How many years, how many years has the Qin State not been so embarrassed, it seems that since the grandfather appointed Shang Ying to change the law, the Qin State has never suffered such a big loss!
It's a lot of nerves! Even Xiangguo had to go to the tiger's den in Longtan in person......
Fortunately, the arrival of the eunuch order brought back the King of Qin, who was trapped in the jade. Now is not the time to be sad, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shangdang are still waiting for the rescue of the widows, and Xiangguo also needs the response of the widows! It's not over yet, it's still unknown.
Even if the party is lost, the ambition of Daqin to go east cannot be lost, let alone lost!
My Great Qin is still nearly a quarter of the territory of Kyushu in the world, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people with armor, and no matter how difficult the situation is now, it is difficult to be difficult than my grandfather who is worried about internal and external troubles, it is difficult to be difficult for my father, and even when I first ascended the throne.
It's nothing more than a new one!
King Qin, who had sorted out his thoughts, exhaled a long breath and threw himself into the next government affairs: "Doctor Cai Ze."
Here, the King of Qin and Xiangguo Fan Sui were very busy as envoys to Wei Zhao, and before they knew it, the sky was already dark, and in the dim night, the battlefield of Shangdang gradually returned to calm.
The vanguard of the Qin army had already arrived in the mountains and forests less than three miles away from Jiepai Ridge. A distance that is not long or short. Speaking of long, the cavalry can almost be instantaneous, and short, it is obviously out of the scope of the scouts of the Zhao army.
In order to maintain the suddenness of the attack, and at the same time to wait for the arrival of follow-up ordnance materials, Wang Yi immediately ordered: the 30,000 troops under his command died down, stationed in the dense mountains and forests, and quietly waited for the dawn.
The dark night covered the black Qin army with a thick layer of camouflage, and the dense mountains and forests were not only the best natural cover for the Qin army, but also the material for the Qin army to cut down trees for the ladder.
Taking advantage of the night, the Qin army slowly and secretly accumulated strength—the strength to try to hit with one blow.
It's just that what the Qin army doesn't know is that the march they thought was still secretive was actually under the monitoring of the Zhao army's scouts and horses, and the news of the Qin army's entire army to the south was also rapidly passing to the Danshui Barrier in the east, the Changping Pass in the north, and the Jiepai Collar.
Even the destination of the Qin army's trip, a few miles away, has been rewarded by the scouts, and the guard general Zhou Qi is ready to face the Qin army alone, and with the arrival of Tiandan's general order, the already well-defended city tower is already three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry are ready to be battled.
The people of the former Han Zhiguo in the city were also mobilized by the Zhao army, and the huge rolling wood and stones were like flowing water
In general, it was carried up to the castle tower; Bundles of arrows were carried up the towers and placed between the stacks; Every few meters, there is a large vat, and the golden juice is already full of flavor before it is boiled; On several protruding battlements, several bed crossbows left behind by the Qin army were ready to fire, and the fine iron arrows with the thickness of their arms glowed faintly under the moonlight.
Under the gate, the gate was already closed, and one person hugged the thick and thin log, and locked the gate firmly, and several thigh-thick hardwoods leaned against the deadbolt at one end, and the other end was embedded in the dug pit, and the pit was piled up with gravel on top of the mound. Apparently the tight defenses had completely locked the gate, and it was impossible to enter through it unless it was completely destroyed.
However, the gate, which is more than a foot high, is covered with several layers of cowhide and reinforced with fist-sized iron rivets, which cannot be poured through water, and the fire must be burned! What's more, not far behind the door hole is a mountain of rolling wood and stones, once the gate is in an emergency, Zhao Jun can use this pile of stones to completely seal the gate at any time.
It can be said that the Zhao army on the Jiepai Ridge is fully prepared and ready to surprise the invading Qin army at any time.
Not only Jiepai Ling, but also the weak point of the pocket that Tian Dan and Lian Po were most worried about, the Light Wolf City, was also managed by Zhao Wei like an iron pass.
After receiving Tian Dan's instructions, Zhao Wei even made further adjustments to the defense system. Especially in order to deal with the problem of insufficient troops, Zhao Wei directly ordered all the doorways to be blocked with stones, not giving the Qin army a chance to break into the door at all.
Of course, in this way, the Zhao army, including the people in the city, were not allowed to enter or leave. If the Qin army acted like this, it would definitely cause a lot of public resentment, but under the command of Zhao Wei, the people in Guangwolf City not only did not complain, but even spontaneously organized to move stones and arrows for the Zhao army and strengthen the barriers.
It's not that Zhao Wei has any magic power, it's just that Zhao Wei, who was born poor, knows too well what the people want. It's nothing more than being born and living.
So, the rest is easy to do. Since the closed city gate has cut off the livelihood of thousands of people, it is enough to give them another way of life. Coincidentally, there is not much in Zhao Wei's hand, but there is enough grain.
