Chapter 480: The Yan Army Arrives in Yanhe City
"Lucky enough!" Qing Qin, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, but his heart was full of luck.
Just now, the former spies came to report, and the city and the city,
The banner of the word "Zhao" is waving in the wind, but it is the general Zhao Kuo who has arrived in the city. Hearing this report, Qing Qin couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart that he was lucky: if he hadn't forced the troops to walk an extra five miles last night, at this moment, he might not be able to reach Yanhe City.
And wait for the day, perhaps, Zhao Kuo has already left the city of Yanhe and went to Handan City. The purpose of his trip was completely defeated.
Fortunately, the luck of inviting heaven was also at the last moment, blocking Zhao Kuodi's way in Yanhe City. That's right, from Qing Qin's point of view, he just blocked Zhao Kuo on the road, but Qing Qin never dreamed that Zhao Kuo was waiting for him in Yanhe City.
And before his 60,000 troops arrived in the city, the 30,000 cavalry of Daidi had already rubbed his shoulders and went straight to Handan.
If he had been able to force the march earlier, he might have been able to reach the city one day in the morning, and perhaps he would have been able to block the way for the Daidi army to go south.
It's a pity that he is still a step slow. It was this slow step that allowed him to successfully avoid the big battle with the elite cavalry of Daidi, whether it was a blessing or a curse, who can say clearly!
Of course, in the face of Zhao Kuo, Qing Qin did not dare to be presumptuous, and if he could block Zhao Kuo, he was already lucky, but there was no need to rush to attack.
At least until he finds out the situation in the city, he will not send troops easily. Immediately, set up camp less than five miles away from the city and the city, dug deep trenches, widely distributed and rejected horses, looking like they were afraid that Zhao Kuo would intercept the camp, even in the middle of the night, they still scattered a lot of scouts of horses, one to block the road to the south, and the other to spy on the real world in the city.
I have to say that although Qing Qin is not a top general, he is also a qualified general.
At least he knew very well what he wanted - blocking Zhao Kuo from going south would be a great achievement. For this reason, guarding the road is the most important thing he needs to do.
And all this was naturally seen by Zhao Kuo in the city and Zhao Kuo in the city. Zhao Kuo was naturally happy to be relaxed about the Yan army's turtle shrinkage tactics, and immediately ordered Sun Gu to continue patrolling the city, so he no longer paid attention to the Yan army's scouts and horses, and continued his great artillery making business in the city with peace of mind.
In this way, on the first night when the Yan army arrived outside the city, the two sides remained peaceful and quiet, like two unrelated strangers, standing opposite each other, but the well water did not interfere with the river water.
It wasn't until the second day, after a night and a morning of exploration, that Qing Qin finally determined that Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao State, was in the city, and at the same time, he also got a piece of news that made him extremely entangled: there were only less than 5,000 people in the city today.
So an extremely difficult multiple-choice question was placed in front of Qing Qin! To fight or not to fight?! Not to fight is the safest choice, as long as it can be determined that Zhao Kuo is in it and has not returned to Handan City, he will be a great achievement!
However, in the face of Zhao Kuo, who is famous all over the world! There are only less than 5,000 people around him, but there are 60,000 troops on his side!
Not to mention capturing or killing Zhao Kuo, even if he just knocked down the city from Zhao Kuo's hands, it was enough to make him famous!
But if it's really fighting, it's Zhao Kuo on the other side! In case of...... That's just stealing chickens and rice.
However, it seems that being defeated by Zhao Kuo is not something unspeakable, and even if it can't be defeated, with the numerical advantage of his 60,000 army, it is impossible to break out of the camp.
As long as Zhao Kuo doesn't break the camp and go south, how can he be regarded as defeated? It seems that this is a sure-fire deal!
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qing Qin was persuaded by the demon in his heart - he decided to give up the defense and attack the city with the whole army!
Of course, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and similarly, a general who does not want to be a famous general is not a good general.
Qing Qin's behavior obviously can't be said to be wrong. On the contrary, put yourself in your shoes, and even Zhao Kuo himself will make the same choice - human nature is like this, and this may also be Yan Jun's last chance in the dark.
It's just that the so-called opportunity is naturally secretly marking its price! In any case, the big war is already on the verge of breaking out!
"Order: In a few moments, the whole army will be reorganized, and the target will be: the city and the city." Qing Qin decisively gave the order to attack.
"Yes." The herald next to him immediately agreedγγγγγγ In a moment, the Yan army, which had already rested, walked at a fairly neat pace, slowly approaching the city of Yanhe!
General Qing Qin rode on the high-headed horse, half apprehensive, half excited, Xu is his own emotions infected the war horse under the crotch, but when he saw that the war horse kept snorting in the direction of Yan and the city.
Can you not be apprehensive? It's Zhao Kuo on the other side! This is the most popular general in the limelight this year, and there is no one left.
Even the iron armor of the Qin State, which is known as invincible in the world, was broken in front of him, and Bai Qi, who had won a lifetime of battles, was forced to die in the land of Shangdang by this person.
In the face of such an enemy, apprehension is the normal reaction. However, it was precisely because the enemy on the opposite side was Zhao Kuo that Qing Qin was even more excited.
Without him, this battle is simply too rich! One to twelve enemies and friends, Qing Qin has never fought such a rich battle in his life, but he also met Zhao Kuo.
If it weren't for this exaggerated comparison between the enemy and me, Qing Qin would not have dared to take the initiative to attack the city! But it is precisely this exaggerated comparison of friend and foe that makes defeating Zhao Kuo no longer a dream, but a future that can be grasped.
Just, be careful, be careful, be careful! The title of the first general of the Warring States will fall on his head!
How can you not get excited?! Touching the head of the war horse under his crotch, Qing Qin tried hard to warn himself that he must calm down, strictly guard against Zhao Kuo's sudden attack, and must not give Zhao Kuo any opportunity.
"Report!" An urgent report from the herald pulled Qing Qin back to reality.
"Speak." Qing Qin immediately replied.
"The generals on the left and right flanks have led 5,000 men from their headquarters to the designated position and arranged the defensive line." The herald replied dryly.
"Okay." Qing Qin nodded.
"Report!" Before the words fell, another urgent report came.
"Speak." Qing Qin ordered again.
"The front army of 20,000 horses has reached the front, and the vanguard will ask for an attack." The herald replied immediately.
"There's no hurry." Qing Qin shook his head and said, "Wait for our Chinese army and siege equipment to advance another three hundred steps." Tell the vanguard general to strictly guard the front line, and dare to attack recklessly and ruin the formation, even if he wins, he will be killed. β
"Yes!" The herald immediately agreed, then turned on his horse and headed straight for the front.
"The Chinese army continues to advance slowly." Qing Qin immediately continued to order the army around him. The Chinese army, which was like a behemoth, immediately continued to move forward slowly.
That's right, Qing Qin's tactics are very simple, that is, to pile them up with human lives! There are no bells and whistles, everything is stable.
Even in order to prevent Zhao Kuo's sudden attack, among the 60,000 soldiers and horses, Qing Qin divided 10,000 people to the left and right wings.
Of the remaining 50,000 troops, all 45,000 men were pushed into battle, except for 5,000 men who guarded the camp and continued to make siege equipment.
20,000 in the forward army, 25,000 in the middle army! The target is directed at the south gate of the city. We don't have any main feints, that is, to attack the south gate with the widest front.
Make it clear, we just rely on the large number of people to consume you to death. Aren't you Zhao Kuo good at using strange weapons, we won't give you a chance to show it directly.
You only have a chance to redeem your son, even if two or even three people fight you alone, the victory is mine.
It's a pity that Qing Qin still underestimated Zhao Kuo. To be precise, the power of technology should be underestimated.
The more concentrated the formation, the more
A delicious meal of "return to the gun"! Of course, it's just the infantry, but it's not the time for the return cannon to show its fangs.
Zhao Kuo, who was standing on the south gate, almost laughed out loud as he looked at the Yan army's formation. This seemingly safe arrangement is actually a waste of his advantages.
If Zhao Kuo is arranged, it must be according to us
The battle layout of "Li Tianwang Laozi" - without his mother's assist, all fucking is the main attack. Brother Yunlong dared to attack from all sides with eight times the strength, not to mention that he had a twelve-fold advantage in strength.
This general of Yan State is good, and directly gave up the attack on the other two sides, what? Will attacking both sides of the east and west take up a lot of your troops?
No matter how wide the southern wall is, it can't spread an army of 20,000 or 30,000 for a while?! Of course, Zhao Kuo has wronged Qing Qin a little.
You must know that he Zhao Kuo just has more than 10,000 troops, who dares to easily divide his troops and attack.
If the forces are apportioned, you take advantage of the siege to kill a large army, and the situation will collapse!
It's not like you haven't done this before, of course people have to guard against you. Instead of wasting troops on the east and west gates, and giving Zhao Kuo a chance to take advantage of it, it is better to concentrate the troops at the south gate, and the east and west gates will directly put on a defensive position, and the main thing is to be safe!
Looking at the formation of the Yan army, Zhao Kuo did not immediately adjust the layout, and he was not busy increasing troops at the South Gate, what if the other party was showing weakness?
Observe it first, if he really specializes in the South Gate, it is not too late for Zhao Kuo to make adjustments.
"All stopped!" While Zhao Kuo was still trying to observe, a loud horn accompanied by the voice of the herald quickly spread through the ranks of the Yan army.
It's a pity that although the whimpering horn sound is loud enough, and the herald almost shouts hoarsely, the Yan army's front is as if it has inertia, and it just can't stop.
Seeing that the eastern piece had finally stopped, the western one took a few steps forward.
After a while, Yan Jun's queue finally stopped. Looking at Yan Jun's dog-like front, Zhao Kuo and Sun Gu couldn't help but look at each other and smile - sure enough, this Yan Jun is elite enough.
