Chapter 341: Zhao Ping finally counts the troops

With only a few hundred Qin troops, more than 10,000 main forces of the Zhao army will be detoured, and even the army in the north will be answered, those who know will say that Zhao Kuo is cautious in using troops, and those who don't know will laugh at Zhao Kuo for making a fuss, and even killing chickens with a knife.

Of course, Zhao Kuo doesn't care about the opinions of others, and even compared to the inconsequential opinions of others, Zhao Kuo knows that his life is more important. But the problem is that there is more to it than that.

The Qin army that brazenly entered the hinterland of Zhao State did not receive the punishment it deserved, and this is the crux of the matter!

Once they retreat into the city, no matter how stupid the Qin people are, they will know that they have leaked the news, and seeing that there is no chance, whether the Qin army will flee by a detour or scattered, they will always give up the attack and immediately hide their whereabouts and leave the Zhao State.

However, the forces in his hands were simply not enough to pursue and encircle the Qin army. In this way, even if the party and other places carry out a big rope, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch all of them.

And once the Qin army returns safely, it doesn't need much, even if only a third or even a quarter is left, it will give a very bad message to Qin and even other countries: the hinterland of Zhao can enter and exit at will!

The so-called special operation was even born ahead of schedule, which Zhao Kuo absolutely could not accept!

Whether it is his upcoming offensive against the Hu people or his subsequent plan against Handan, he needs a stable rear and will never allow anyone to make trouble in his back garden. It is necessary to tell all countries, including Qin, with the strongest attitude: If you come, don't think about leaving.

In other words, the small detachment of the Qin army of several hundred people must die, and the whole army must be completely submerged in the land of Zhao. Because, the Jingguan made of their heads and blood is the most favorable monument that can deter the nations.

Therefore, it is impossible to shrink from a turtle! Not only can he not shrink, but he even has to increase the speed of movement appropriately, if Qin Jun mistakenly thinks that he has received the news and shrinks, it will be all over.

Zhao Kuo had to make himself appear in the sight of the Qin army as soon as possible, so as to lure the snake out of the hole, and then encircle and exterminate this Qin army.

However, how could this Qin army, who dared to sneak into the hinterland of Zhao State to besiege Zhao Kuo with hundreds of people, be easy to match?

And Zhao Kuo now has only 450 soldiers in his hands

Although I don't know how many people there are in the Qin army on the other side, it is obvious that if he can pick such an opportunity, the King of Qin must have already discovered the number of his own soldiers, so in just a short calculation, the number of the Qin army will not be less than five hundred.

If it's a one-on-one ......

Zhao Kuo was a little entangled, it wasn't that he was not sure about his own soldiers, he was selected among the hundreds of thousands of troops, and he had the bonus of his own heavy armor Mo knife, Zhao Kuo didn't think that he would lose to the Qin army, even if the Qin army came to the legendary sharp soldiers, Zhao Kuo was sure to pull them off the altar.

It's just that his heavy armor Mo knife is still too little, and it is not so easy to play a role. If the last secret weapon is revealed......

Zhao Kuo needs to measure the question of value and worthlessness: if it can be completely annihilated, maybe it is not a big problem?!

A plan quickly took shape in Zhao Kuo's mind, but before that, Zhao Kuo still needed to confirm a few things.

"Is there a definite number of Qin troops in the north?" Zhao Kuo raised his head and asked Zhao Ping on the side.

When Zhao Ping heard this, he thought for a while before replying, "Pingyuanjun only said that there were hundreds of people, and the specific number is unknown."

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Zhao Kuo's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table—three or four hundred is hundreds, eight or nine hundred is also hundreds, but the combat power among them is several times different. If there are five or six hundred people, it may not be a big problem to completely annihilate them themselves, but if there are nearly 1,000 people, I am afraid that with their own manpower, it will be difficult to completely annihilate them.

It's a matter of whether or not that secret weapon can be used. At the same time, the tactics to be used will vary greatly depending on the number of people, so it is important to know the number of enemy troops!

Of course, if you want to figure out the number of the Qin army, it is not necessary to determine the number of people, as long as you can lock a general range, as long as there are no more than 100 people up and down, it is not a big problem.

can

The problem is that now Zhao Kuo can't send scouts to check, or rather, once the scouts come into contact with the Qin army, the battle will already be over, and he won't have a chance to make any adjustments.

"Since you can't take it straight, why don't you ask for it in the song?" Zhao Kuo's mind flashed again.

"The number of people and the number of carriages and horses of the Qin State Mission? After the diversion of the northward Qin army, will the mission exercise its regularity?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask Zhao Ping.

Before the Qin delegation entered the Zhao state, it was necessary to report how many people, horses, and cars in the mission were to the pass, and the pass would also pass this message down to ensure that there would be no accidents in the Qin mission. For example, if he was stolen, the Qin envoy could claim compensation from the local government with the help of the customs declaration. Of course, what is more important is that Zhao State has to prevent Qin State from carrying smuggled goods from it, such as spies or something.

No matter which party such a customs declaration is for, this step will not be saved, and as the final destination of the Qin State Mission, Handan Mansion will obviously receive such a record.

Today's Zhao Ping happens to be Handan Wei, and these numbers can not only be accessed, but even the focus of Zhao Ping's daily work. And this will test Comrade Zhao Ping's work ability.

Fortunately, Zhao Ping did not disappoint Zhao Kuo, although he had just taken office for a few days, the work had obviously entered the state, especially in order to form a secret agent organization, Zhao Ping was even more concerned about the arrival of the Qin State Mission.

"The number of customs declarations in the Qin State is about 768, 52 cars, and about 800 horses." Zhao Ping replied fluently: "After the northbound army was diverted, the mission was still moving normally."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kuo's heart had roughly already counted the number of northbound Qin troops.

Since the mission can still drive normally, then according to the standard of at least two people per car, at least 100 people will go, plus the envoy himself and his servants one or twenty people, plus one or twenty indispensable people such as horsemen and miscellaneous servants, and the number of people who can be diverted by the Qin State mission will not exceed about 600 at most.

Again, the number of horses speaks volumes, and even if all the carriages were two-horse, the number of horses that could be fought was only seven hundred, and a number of three-horse and four-horse horses were certainly in line with the above number.

Six hundred, it should already be the limit of the Qin army.
