Chapter 589 Late at night, Zhao Jun quietly arranged

The Battle of Los Angeles is almost a microcosm of the current situation in the Warring States Period.

All nations have their own ghosts, alliances everywhere, and betrayals everywhere.

Just when the entire main camp of the coalition army was gradually sleeping, in the Zhao army camp on the side, Lian Po gathered all the generals above the rank of captain.

Yes, Lian Po has already received the news of the Qin-Han Alliance, although it is not clear when Qin-Han will start to launch, but Lian Po's intuition tells him that the retreat of the army must be arranged as soon as possible.

In the tent of the Chinese army, the dim flames kept jumping, just like the soldiers of the Zhao army present.

"Qin Han has a secret alliance." Lian Po's words continued to resound in the hearts of the generals.

This statement is almost self-evident to the generals who are still thinking about how to defeat the Qin army.

Fortunately, out of trust in General Lian Po, although the soldiers were stunned for a moment, they did not feel afraid because of this, but looked at Lian Po calmly one by one, quietly waiting for General Lian Po's instructions.

Even the two Hu people's lieutenants were the same.

Seeing this, Lian Po also nodded secretly, and then continued: "Actually, my king has already known about this matter, and he has already informed General Yu. That's why General Zhou Qi turned back to Yicheng."

In one sentence, the doubts of the generals were dispelled in an instant.

Even the king already knew that the king must have already thought of a complete strategy, so what else to say, just do it.

Suddenly, the nervous look on the faces of the generals disappeared completely, and was replaced by a look of anticipation.

Yes, look forward to it! Many of the generals present are veterans who have followed Zhao Kuo to fight Changping, attack the Hu people, and defend the city, and for their king, it is no longer trust and worship, and has even risen to the realm of blind obedience.

Hearing the news that the king had made arrangements, the generals naturally thought of victory, that is, meritorious service, and the faces of the generals were naturally filled with anticipation.

Seeing this, Lian Po immediately continued: "The king has already made a comprehensive layout for the battle of Los Angeles, and the task of our army."

At this point, Lian Po paused slightly, and the generals immediately looked at Lian Po with wide eyes, waiting for the next article anxiously.

"Our army's mission is divided into three phases." Seeing that everyone's interest had been fully mobilized, Lian Po continued: "The first stage: our army should preserve its strength as soon as possible after Qin and Han launched and retreat to Yicheng."

"In the second stage, our army will work with the Shangdang defenders to defend the city and wait for another reinforcement." Lian Po then continued: "As for the third stage, it is natural to cooperate with another reinforcement to besiege the Qin army."

Listening to General Lian Po's three expositions, the hearts of the generals were really itchy, and there were too many questions they wanted to ask General Lian Po.

For example, how long will it take to defend the city, where will the reinforcements come from, and how will the Qin army be besieged?

Obviously, General Lim Po's plan was too vague and had little execution.

But there is no execution, not only is there no execution, but even the key words in it, Lian Po has made some considerations, for example, Li Mu's department is not here to aid Yicheng at all, but Lian Po called them reinforcements.

The reason is very simple: if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if everything is not secret, it will be harmful.

Now, it's not time to give a showdown to the armies under your command.

Sure enough, Lian Po's sharp gaze swept over, and instantly pressed everyone's desire to discuss.

Lian Po then continued: "In the next two stages, when the time comes, the general will explain in detail with you, and now, what our army has to do is to complete the tasks of the first stage."

"Yes." The people who had been taught the lesson immediately agreed in unison.

"Qin and Han have signed an alliance, and we can learn about this news later, so naturally the Qin army and the Han army have also received the news. Although we don't know the exact time, in order to avoid necessary losses, the time of the next Qin army's attack should be the time it agreed." Lian Po continued.

"Scout camp." Lian Po then nodded.

"Yes." One of the lieutenants immediately clenched his fists and commanded.

"Immediately scatter all the scouts in your hands, and once the Qin army leaves the city, report back immediately." Lian Po immediately ordered.

"Yes." The lieutenant of the scout battalion immediately agreed, and then came out with his fists clenched and arranged for the scouts to leave.

"Where is the camp?" Lian Po continued to point out.

"The end will be." A bearded man immediately came out of class and replied.

"Your army of more than 17,000 people, most of them foot soldiers, once you march, I am afraid that you will be dragged down by the army. Now that the enemy situation is clear and the mission is clear, there is no need for your troops to stay here." Lian Po immediately said: "Take advantage of the darkness of the night, immediately retreat slowly, divide into three groups, and evacuate to Yicheng."

As he spoke, Lian Po took a bag from the desk and handed it over, saying, "This is the route of your army. Remember, no matter what the subsequent battle of Los Angeles is, as long as your troops cross the water and return to Yicheng, they will be victorious. If you encounter an attack by the Qin army, you don't need to pay attention to it, just bypass it, and return to Yicheng is the first priority."

"Yes." The general of the rear camp immediately took the bag with both hands and agreed.

"Left and right battalion generals." Lian Po continued to point out.

"The end will be." The two generals in charge of the left and right battalions immediately went out of their shifts and agreed.

"Your troops are all 12,000 men, and after the mixed battle of infantry and cavalry begins, you don't need to pay attention to the Qin army, and you will evacuate to the north, which is the route of the march." Lian Po said as he handed over two tips: "In the same way, if you encounter an attack, don't dwell on it, you can act cheaply."

"Yes." The two generals immediately took the bag and agreed.

"The middle army and the front army, a total of 30,000 horses." Lian Po continued to instruct: "After the battle begins, join the general to meet the Qin army and buy time for the evacuation of the left and right battalions."

"Yes." The rest of the generals agreed in unison.

"Okay." Lian Po then waved his hand and said, "Everyone is ready to go."

"Yes." The generals then replied with their fists clenched again.

Looking at Lian Po's arrangement, in fact, his method is very simple, that is, to disperse and break through.

The reason why Lian Po would arrange it like this was naturally based on the possible offensive route of the Qin army.

Lian Po knew very well that even if the Han army defected, the impact on the Zhao army's camp was not great, and if the Qin army wanted to win this battle, it was bound to start from the main camp of the coalition army.

Only by taking the main camp can the Qin army concentrate its forces against itself. This also means that at least in the early stage of the battle, the Zhao army will not face too many Qin troops.

Even in order to paralyze themselves, the strength of the Qin army as soon as it appeared, I am afraid that it would only use 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry to contain itself, just like the usual battles.

In the face of such a situation, the best way for the Zhao army to escape is not to continue to pretend to know nothing, send the same twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses to fight against it normally, and then let the main force take advantage of the chaos to retreat!

In response to the long and narrow terrain from east to west, the Qin army could not know the defense line along the river, naturally, it was best for the army to act separately, even if one team was intercepted by the Qin army, it could also ensure that the main force could return to Yicheng safely.

Of course, such an arrangement obviously has a fatal problem.

That is, the 30,000 soldiers and horses fighting with the Qin army must calm down, not only to delay the Qin army as much as possible, but also to quickly adjust the formation and withdraw backwards after the main camp is broken.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Lian Po personally stayed.

Only if he stays, can he suppress his generals, and can he let the soldiers under him fight with peace of mind, of course, only Lian Po himself can be sure to bring the remaining Zhao army out of the encirclement.

With the departure of the generals, the night finally deepened, and the foot soldiers of the Zhao army quietly left the camp and disappeared into the vast night.

After another hour or so, snoring gradually sounded in Zhao Jun's camp, and even heaven and earth entered a deep sleep.

At this moment, when everything was silent, there was a sound of rustling in the main camp of the coalition army.

General Han Zhiguo's personal soldiers informed the generals, captains, and even captains one by one.

The generals who were disturbed and drowsy did not dare to complain much, so they could only put them on

armor, and followed the soldiers to the camp where the general of Han Zhiguo was.

Soon, the generals gathered in the camp tent, but no one knew what kind of task it would be to come so late - to attack the Qin army at night?

It shouldn't be, it's all said that the Qin army will attack!

And it's not enough to defend the city by yourself, and you can sneak attack the Qin army? How could the Admiral agree!

While he was guessing, the general of Han Zhiguo had already come to everyone.

"General." The generals then saluted.

"Excuse me." The general didn't talk nonsense, and immediately raised his hand to help him, and then went straight to the point and said, "Time is pressing, so I'll make a long story short."

"My king has made a resolution against Zhao Mengqin." The Admiral said as he glanced at the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly widened?!

Mengqin?!

What is the situation! I was still fighting with the Qin army two days ago, and today you told me that the Qin army is going to be an ally with us? How is this acceptable?!

Seeing that everyone seemed to have a big opinion, the general immediately explained to the generals a little: "This proposal has been decided, our king has signed an alliance with Qin, and Qin has even sent protons and Xinzheng, and even promised that after repelling Zhao, one-third of Zhouwangji's territory will be divided with our country. If it is profitable, it should be changed."

It's just that how can such a theory of "having milk is a mother" convince these men who are really bleeding and crying, as soon as the words fell, some generals wanted to put forward different opinions, but the general of Han Zhiguo would not pay attention to him at all, and would not even let him have a chance to speak at all.

Of course, this is also what he must do as the general of Han Zhiguo.

Even so, he didn't quite agree with King Han's approach. Just as of course he was opposed to joining the coalition army, but still led the army under the king's order, today he can still only compromise in the royal power.

"It's not helpful to talk too much." The admiral shook his head, and then said, "I have received the king's order to retreat today. And there is only one hour to spare, if you don't want to become a revenant under Qin's sword, hurry up and obey the order."

This is, of course, an intimidation, but it is also an obvious prisoner's dilemma.

If everyone opposes and resists together, of course, they can stop the Qin army's attack, but what is the price to pay?

Are you sure that the people around you will stick with you after the order is given, and not answer the call?!

Once even one person opens this opening, can this already dilapidated city defense still be wanted?

Hearing this, the generals also looked at each other, questioning each other and guarding each other.

After a long time, the generals scattered their fists and received the order, "Obey the king's orders."
