Chapter 573 True Rescue vs. Fake Rescue
After the order of Shinling-kun was issued, the coalition forces soon began to prepare for war. However, the preparation of an army of more than 100,000 troops was not achieved overnight, and it took time to transfer grain, grass, and military supplies, assemble and arrange troops, and even pack up tents.
It's just quite surprising that the first to set off was not any of the troops in the main camp, but the army of Zhao led by General Lian Po, who hurried back to his camp from the main camp.
Seeing that his team had been assembled, but he couldn't wait for the order of Xinling Jun, who was the commander-in-chief, the general of Chu finally realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Immediately sent people to urge, but the reply he got was either that the army of Han Zhiguo was not ready, or that the cavalry of Wei was gathering.
What if you just know?
Did you tell Xin Lingjun that I would bring tens of thousands of troops to the rescue first, and you would come back later?
Isn't that going to deliver food? What if his own army of tens of thousands falls into it again?
Although the vanguard general is also a member of the Chu Guojing family, as the general of the Chu State, he has to put the interests of the Chu State first. Now the loss is only more than 10,000 Chu troops and one general, if he and the remaining nearly 40,000 Chu troops are filled in, it will be a big loss.
What's more, although he was a clansman, the general asked himself about his relationship with the vanguard general, and it was not good enough to allow him to take tens of thousands of troops on an adventure together.
As for the theory with Shin Ling-kun? Obviously, he has prepared an unknown number of reasons to wait for him.
However, apart from urging Xinlingjun over and over again to send troops as soon as possible, it seems that there is really no way to do it.
Unite with the generals of Han Zhiguo to coerce Xinlingjun together?
Don't make trouble, I'm afraid that Xinlingjun has already been angry with the general of Han Zhiguo, and he is alone in the dark.
Besides, does the general of Han Zhiguo dare to coerce with him?
Having said this, in case there is any accident on the way, or if he is defeated by the Qin army in a hurry, is this pot carried by Han Zhiguo's general or himself?
With just this sentence, Xinlingjun was able to shut General Han Zhiguo's mouth tightly.
Zhao Guo? They are capable of taking on this responsibility, but will they take risks for the sake of the people of Chu State?
Although Chu is an ally of Zhao, Zhao is the commander of the coalition army that Xinlingjun has just supported!
Just when the general of the Chu State was hesitating left and right, there were bursts of horns in the air.
"Could it be that Xinlingjun's conscience has found out?" The general of the State of Chu was shocked, and then hurriedly boarded the carriage beside him and looked in the direction of the sound.
However, the voice did not come from the main camp, but from outside the camp.
Following the sound, a pole embroidered with the word Zhao has risen tall, and the back is densely packed, standing full of tall horses.
It was the sound of the horn that General Lian Po had already assembled his troops and was preparing to advance towards Zhou Wangji.
General Lian Po, who was standing in front of the queue, was also taken aback, although his camp was not too far, but he returned from the coalition army, and he had been delayed for a lot of time, he had already assembled here and was ready to go, not to mention that the road had been opened, at least it was time to leave the camp, how to look at this situation, the armies of the three countries seemed to have not been assembled yet?
Even the army of Chu has not yet left the camp? There are more than 10,000 people and a general of the Chu State, don't they all want it?
"Herald." Lian Po suddenly called a herald: "Take a team of men and horses, go to the coalition camp to check, remember to find the general of the Chu army, and see what the situation is." ”
"Yes." The heralds around him immediately agreed, and then more than 20 horsemen broke away from the army and headed for the camp of the coalition army.
In fact, the moment he saw this situation, Lian Po already had some numbers in his heart, but even if he had a guess in his heart, Lian Po really didn't want to believe his guess.
That's 20,000 troops! More than 20,000 lives!
More importantly, the strength of the coalition army itself was not much more than that of the Qin army, and the 20,000 people being eaten by the Qin army would not only weaken the advantage of the coalition army in terms of numbers, but also greatly damage the morale of the coalition army.
This is the time to not back down!
But it appeared in front of him again, and for a moment, Lian Po was even a little lucky, fortunately, his army had always been firmly in his hands as a partial battalion.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the king's explanation: we must firmly hold the military power in our own hands.
"Perhaps, the king has already expected this." Lian Po muttered to himself in his heart, and at this time, Lian Po's mentality towards this battle was also quietly changing-maybe victory was no longer possible, and it was best to consume the Qin army as much as possible, and both sides would lose.
Even Lian Po's mentality has quietly changed in Xinlingjun's operation, not to mention the generals and soldiers of other countries.
Of course, from his point of view, there is no problem with Xin Lingjun's approach.
After all, the 20,000-strong army was already under siege, and it was not impossible to send a large army to the mouth of the scouts who sent back just by relying on the vague and untrue information in the mouths of the scouts.
Rather than that, it's better to play it steady.
It's just that Xinlingjun forgot that the battle is a morale. One step back, the biggest possibility is to retreat again and again.
The heralds of the Zhao army soon arrived at the camp of the coalition army, and soon met Xinlingjun who was changing into armor.
All words seem to be no longer important at this time, even the main general has only put on his armor and the army is out? Just wait!
After a long while, the heralds of Zhao met with the generals of the Three Kingdoms, and then returned to the camp of the Zhao army.
Xin Lingjun replied, and the army would be drawn in a quarter of an hour. The herald faithfully passed on Shinling-kun's reply.
"Another quarter of an hour?" didn't wait for Lian Po to speak, and the generals around him couldn't help it first. I've been waiting here for half an hour, and it's going to take a quarter of an hour?! Is this still a war? Wait another quarter of an hour, I'm afraid that the vanguard army will already have no bones.
"Silence!" Lian Po immediately reprimanded angrily, although he also had a fire in his heart, but obviously, this fire could not be issued in front of tens of thousands of Zhao Jun. After all, Xinling Jun is now the commander of the coalition army.
Hearing this, the general also immediately realized his gaffe, and immediately clasped his hands into fists to show that he had realized his mistake.
After a little hesitation, Lian Po finally made a decision, and then ordered the herald on the side: "Go to the main camp again, and inform the generals of the countries that the cavalry of my Zhao State is willing to take the front and go to Zhou Wangji first, hoping that the army will come to help quickly!" ”
"General." Without waiting for the herald to agree, Zhou Qi on the side was shocked, and immediately tried to persuade him.
But seeing that Lian Po waved his hand lightly, interrupted Zhou Qi's words, and said, "The execution is, it will have its own success." ”
"Yes." Helpless, Zhou Qi had no choice but to agree with the herald immediately.
Immediately, the heralds headed north, and the army headed westward, diverging directions. Judging by the speed of his army, it was no match for the speed of the herald's horse.
Before the heralds had reached the main camp, the thunderous sound had already reached the main camp.
Whether it was Xinlingjun, the generals of Chu and Han, or the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms who were still in the camp, they all got out of the camp, stretched out their heads, and followed the voice to look south.
But he saw a thick black line, which rushed straight to the west......
Everyone knows that Zhao Jun has set off! And listening to the speed of the horse, there is even more thunder, it can be seen that its speed is also fast, and everyone who hears it is shocked - Zhao Jun should go to the rescue alone?
Looking at the scene in front of him, the general of Chu State was suddenly anxious!
Zhao Jun has set off, but he hasn't set off yet? If this is told to the king of Chu by someone with a heart, how can he be a general?
Without saying a word, he rushed out of the camp with his team and went to the rescue.
Xin Lingjun, who was standing in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, was also dumbfounded, obviously Lian Po's approach greatly surprised him.
Sitting back and watching the success or failure of the friendly army, it was learned by Xinlingjun from Zhao Jun's hands, why are you still in a hurry! In the Battle of Changping back then, I didn't see you Zhao Jun caring so much about the army of my Wei State!
Seeing this, the general of Han Zhiguo on the side finally spoke: "Xinling-kun, let's hurry up and set off too!" ”
Listening to the words of General Han Zhiguo next to him, Xin Lingjun finally reacted - Zhao Jun's dispatch of troops, as long as he didn't want the alliance to collapse immediately, he had to send troops!
Xinlingjun is obviously also a person who can be decided.
Immediately, without saying a word, he ordered the herald beside him: "Beat the drum, blow the trumpet, and the whole army will follow the Zhao army forward." ”
"Yes." The herald beside him immediately received the order.
Soon, in the sound of whimpering horns, the gate of the main camp of the coalition army finally opened, and a large army dressed in various colors of armor immediately drove out.
The first to come out was naturally the army of Chu wearing earthy yellow clothes, followed by the army of Wei wearing red armor, and finally the army of Han Zhiguo wearing green armor.
It's a pity that the armies of the Three Kingdoms are all infantry, and of course they can't keep up with the cavalry of Zhao like the wind.
What's more, no matter how fast the orders of Xinlingjun and General Chu are, the army will be pulled out after the tea.
At this time, the cavalry team of Zhao State had already rushed out for a mile.
It's just that what no one knows is that after Zhao Guo's army rushed into Chongshan, the speed of tens of thousands of horses slowly decreased in accordance with General Lian Po's military order.
"Old general, what are you?" Zhou Qi, who slowly reined in the horse's head and lowered the horse's speed, immediately followed to General Lian Po's side, and looked at General Lian Po beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Boy, learn a little." Lian Po smiled and looked at Zhou Qi on the side: "If we don't come out, how can the main force of the coalition come out?" Let's come out, and the main force of the coalition will come out! If you don't believe me, send a scout back and take a look. ”
Some people died, but not completely......
