If you are wrong, you have to admit that there has always been an iron law of war.

This point has long been engraved into his bone marrow in one battle after another. Because failure is not terrible, what is terrible is knowing that you have failed, but you are unwilling to face it. This will inevitably lead to more serious consequences.

It is not too late to make amends, but if the disease is avoided and medical treatment is avoided, the Qin State will definitely fall into a deeper desperate situation.

Whether it was the fall of Hangu or the Zhao army in Los Angeles gaining a foothold and starting to extend the defensive front, it would lead to more serious consequences, and Wang knew that he had to act decisively.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhou Wangji's map flew through Wang Di's mind.

Soon, a place struck Wang Di's heart like lightning.

"Yiyang!" Wang Yi silently recited the name in his heart: "As long as you can occupy Yiyang, this eastward exit will not be regarded as a complete gain."

Yes, Yiyang, a small city located in the southwest corner of Zhou Wangji.

If it weren't for the loss of Los Angeles, Wang Yi's eyes would not have looked down on such a small city at all.

Although it is only a small city, it is also on the plain washed out by Luoshui, and it is also a city that can be slightly defended after coming out of the Cuihan Pass.

As long as this city is occupied, the Qin state will wedge a nail in the land of Zhou Wangji. It can not only be used as a gathering place for troops and grain, but also can be used to guard the passage of Cuihan and ensure the eastward exit of Qin.

In the next year, as long as you go east along Luoshui from the Hedong area, you can reach Yiyang in less than a day, and you can counterattack the Zhouwangji area at any time. In this way, Qin Jun should not be worried about taking the Kuihan Passage.

The only question is whether this small Yiyang City can withstand it!

Thinking of this, Wang Yi couldn't help but raise his head, and his eyes immediately patrolled among the generals of the Qin army-who to send to Yiyang was definitely a difficult problem.

If you want to keep the last spoils of this dispatch, you must leave a shrewd and capable general to be able to hold Yiyang.

For example, the Meng Fu that he is optimistic about.

However, it is impossible for him to leave too many troops for Yiyang, and even the small city of Yiyang itself cannot accommodate too many troops at all. 50,000 may already be the limit.

However, with a mere 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yiyang, the risk is self-evident.

If this puts Meng Fu in danger, this is obviously not the situation that Wang Yi wants to see.

Xu saw the hesitation in General Wang's eyes, and General Meng Yu on the side immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Wang Yu, and said, "General, the situation is urgent, please make a quick decision."

Sometimes, when the most difficult decision is made, the most important thing is the unconditional trust of your peers.

At this time, Wang Di, hearing this, Wang Di also sighed lightly.

Looking at the thousands of people who have gone to Mengfu, Wang Yi seems to see himself who is commanding the army to fight under Yancheng. Who has not been trained in this battle of blood and fire?

"The eagle will eventually be released one day, and only after experiencing the danger of jumping off a cliff can it truly fly high." Wang Ji kept telling himself in his heart.

Standing up, Wang Yi finally made up his mind.

"This is the end of the matter, and I have made up my mind." Wang Yi finally spoke, "Generals."

"Yes." Then everyone stood up in unison.

"The whole army is reorganized, and the camp is pulled out overnight, and the reinforcement is returned to Hangu." Wang Yi then ordered.

"Yes." All the generals agreed in unison.

"Obscure." After determining the general phalanx of reinforcements, Wang Di immediately began to point generals.

"The end will be." Meng Fu immediately went out of class and replied.

"With thy fifty thousand horsemen, make the way for my army." Wang Yi immediately waved his hand, flattened the map on the table again, and said, "Quickly seize this place."

"Yiyang?" Meng Fu asked.

"Yes, of course." Wang Yi nodded, and then continued: "The follow-up army will arrive, and you will be stationed in it with 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and you will hold Yiyang with me, can you be sure?"

Wen Yan,

Meng Fu was a little puzzled, didn't he want the whole army to come back for help? Why do you want to rest in this sunny place?

Wang Yi obviously understood Meng Fu's doubts, and immediately said: "Hangu and Los Angeles have been lost, and our army has been forced to return to help.

As he spoke, Wang Yi pointed to Yiyang City on the map, and said, "As long as Yiyang is held, the four cities in the southwest of Wangji are all in my hands this week, and our army can go east along Luoshui at any time. We only need to rebuild the defenses of Hedong and Hexi, and we can easily go east and reach Los Angeles in the coming year."

Hearing this, Meng Fu immediately understood the importance of this almost inconspicuous Yiyang City, and immediately received the order: "The last general understands and swears to defend this Yiyang City for my Great Qin, and to protect the results of the Battle of Los Angeles."

Listening to Meng Fu's answer, Wang Yi was half relieved and half helpless.

Thankfully, he didn't look at the wrong person.

Even though he knew that Yiyang City was not easy to defend and left a very likely situation of being surrounded by the Zhao army, Meng Wei still took over this important task without hesitation.

As the future general of the Qin army, Wang Yi is naturally quite pleased to have this responsibility and responsibility.

Helplessly, this stupid boy obviously didn't understand his intention to arrange troops.

The 50,000 army and 40,000 infantry were used to defend the city, and the 10,000 cavalry were used to escort him back to Qin in case of emergency.

If he just wants to defend Yiyang, wouldn't it be better to simply arrange 50,000 foot soldiers himself?

Obviously, the kid didn't realize the problem at all. However, Wang Di definitely couldn't give Meng Fu a chance to teach Meng Fu in front of the public, and he could only nod and signal Meng Fu to retreat.

"Zhou Xiong." After arranging the most critical part, Wang Yi immediately continued to point to the future.

"The end will be." Another big man immediately stood up and answered.

"Command 20,000 cavalry, for the queen of my army." Wang Yi then ordered again: "If the Zhao army dares to attack in Yicheng, give a resolute response."

This task was obviously not a good task, although Wang Yi judged that the Zhao army in Yicheng might not have the courage to go out of the city to face the battle, at least until the Zhao army in Los Angeles gained a firm foothold, they did not dare to send troops.

But if you are afraid of what happens, if Lian Po in the city is so confident, or has already received the message from Los Angeles, it is not completely impossible to send troops to attack.

In the face of such a situation, only a strong enough counterattack could be stopped by the Zhao army that held Yicheng. Of course, in the final result, I am afraid that the 20,000 troops behind this palace are very likely to be entangled by the Zhao army.

As a general of the Qin army, how could he not know the danger of the palace, but the general immediately agreed without saying a word, "Yes."

It's just like the one just now. Perhaps it is precisely with such soldiers who are willing to shoulder their responsibilities in times of crisis that the Qin army can continue to grow in the midst of repeated failures and failures.

"Zhongjun Sima." Wang Yi nodded and continued to nod.

"Yes." Another replied aloud.

"Immediately organize the supplies and follow the Chinese army." Wang Yi seemed to be not very relieved, and then emphasized again: "Los Angeles has been lost, the army has only enough grain for more than ten days, and it will take time to return to Hangu, and grain is the most important thing, so you can't be careless."

"Yes, don't worry, General, I will take care of it with my own soldiers." Zhongjun Sima immediately agreed.

"The rest of the army, immediately pack their bags, and after an hour, they will send back reinforcements, cross the water, circle Luocheng, arrive at Yiyang, and then make repairs." Wang Yi finally finished arranging.

"Yes." All the generals also received the order in unison.

An hour was almost fleeting, and Meng Fu and his 50,000 cavalry were the first to rush out of the camp.

In order to be as invisible as possible, the army marched out for a full 200 people before a torch lit it, but even so, the queue of the Qin army was still so neat.

Even the most difficult to control cavalry ranks maintained a fairly neat pace.

The fighting quality of the Qin army was once again vividly demonstrated at this time.

It's a pity that even though the Qin army has hidden their movements as much as possible, such a large-scale transfer was still detected by the Zhao army.

In fact, Lian Po, who was in Yicheng, had long expected that there must be something wrong with the Qin army, and the most likely thing was that Li Mu's department had arrived at the designated position.

The reason is very simple, the Qin army, which was attacking day and night, suddenly retreated, and all its forces shrank back to the camp. If it weren't for the problems in the rear, with the belligerence of the Qin army, they would definitely not let themselves have a chance to breathe.

After receiving the scout's report, Lian Po confirmed his judgment.

It's just that, even so, Lian Po did not send troops and horses to pursue the Qin army.

It's not that Lian Po can't send troops, in fact, there are 120,000 troops in Yicheng, and those who appear in the defensive battles for days are just foot soldiers, and tens of thousands of cavalry have hardly fought on the battlefield.

At this time, the cavalry who was holding their breath was bound to tear the retreating Qin army to pieces.

It is precisely because of this that Lian Po can't let this group of cubs out. The reason is very simple, Zhao Wangkuo's layout and Li Mu's thousand-mile attack are not aimed at a decisive battle with the Qin army, but to force the Qin army back.

At this time, if this group of cubs who were already suffocated go crazy, it would be fine if it was just piecemeal, but if they couldn't hold their strength and beat the retreating Qin army fiercely, it was very likely to form a decisive battle situation for Qin Zhao.

This is an outcome that all the top echelons of the Zhao army, including Lian Po, do not want to see.

Since they want to escape, let them escape! The farther you run, the better!

Of course, in order to prevent the Qin army from killing the horse pistol, for the sake of prudence, Lian Po still scattered a large number of scout cavalry to monitor the movements of the Qin army.

At the same time, Li Musuo's department, which had captured Los Angeles and was strengthening the city defense, also quickly got the news that the Qin army was coming west.

Because he didn't know how the Qin army chose, Li Mu was obviously more nervous than Lian Po, after all, this Los Angeles had only fallen into the hands of Zhao Jun for a few hours.

In case the Qin State left something behind in the tunnel, then Luocheng may not be easy to defend.

Fortunately, Li Mu's men have an army of 130,000, and most of them are still the elite troops of the Zhao army. Li Mu obviously also knew the importance of defending Los Angeles, and immediately spread out all the 130,000 troops.

In addition to the defense of the four gates of the east, west, north and south, a large number of sergeants were also arranged in the city to conduct non-stop patrols.

In a word, even if you don't sleep, you have to defend Los Angeles to death.

However, obviously, Li Mu's worries are somewhat unnecessary.

As mentioned above, Wang Di didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't bet, compared to Li Mu's worry about the Qin army's counterattack on Los Angeles, Wang Di was actually more worried about being entangled by the Zhao army.

In this way, under mutual vigilance, the two armies looked almost across the city, but they were like two parallel lines, never intersecting......
