Chapter 714 The Yingchuan Barrier Starts Again

As the battle between Qin and Zhao gradually came to the table, the battle between the two sides gradually entered a white-hot stage.

Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao.

Thousands of soldiers were rushed to the battlefield, and time was still something that both sides were fighting for.

It's just that Wang Yi, the general of the Qin army who is on the front line, has noticed something abnormal.

Obviously, the entire Zhao Kingdom has already moved, and the Black Ice Platform and the fine work sent by him have always had the news that the Zhao army has entered Yingchuan County.

But Wang Yi always felt that the Zhao army on the opposite side was not only not increasing troops, but reducing them.

If this is the case, it is very likely that the Zhao army on the opposite side is shrinking the defensive line. As the side that is about to attack, such news is, of course, unfavorable.

Of course, Wang Yi wanted to engage in a field battle with the Zhao army, rather than storm the city that the Zhao army had entrenched.

Of course, it is not difficult to determine the true situation of the Zhao army, as long as tens of thousands of troops are used to launch an active attack on the defense line of the Zhao army.

However, the premise of this is that their own troops must be sufficient.

In this way, if the Zhao army is really shrinking the defensive line, he can send enough troops to pursue and destroy the Zhao army in time;

If the Zhao army did not shrink the defensive line, he would be able to hold on to the existing land and not be counterattacked by the Zhao army in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the forces under Wang Di are still seriously insufficient, and even if Wang Di has suspicions, he can't act rashly. What's more, Wang Di should not act until Meng Fu's Second Route Cavalry and the Qin-Wei coalition army arrived at the designated position.

How so? Invisibly, Meng Fu also bought a certain amount of time for Zhao Guo.

Such doubts and suspicions continued until the Qin army's front-line armor increased by 200,000.

Although the expected 250,000 troops have not yet arrived, the sufficient troops finally gave Wang Yi enough courage, and of course, Meng's position in Hedong also made Wang Ji have no worries.

With the sound of orders, 50,000 Qin soldiers and 10,000 cavalry crossed the middle ground and launched an attack on the area occupied by the Zhao army.

Lian Po, who was withdrawing the army according to Zhao Kuo's deployment, received the news at the first time.

Looking at the menacing Qin army, Lian Po certainly understood that this was a temptation by his old rival Wang Di.

Lian Po knew better that once Wang Di was sure that the defensive line in front of him was useless, a tentative attack would instantly turn into a thunderous blow.

Without hesitation, Wang Yi would lead the remaining Qin army to pounce and eat all the remaining 30,000 or so Zhao troops on this position.

I have to say that Wang Di's timing of this temptation is still so well grasped.

It happened to be Zhao Jun's most embarrassing moment.

Withdraw, there are still tens of thousands of troops, and they may not be able to outrun the menacing Qin army, especially when there are cavalry in the Qin army.

Defend it, this point of the army is very easy to be seen by the other party, once the whole army is pressed, these tens of thousands of troops will immediately become powder.

Take the initiative and launch an attack? And then take advantage of the Qin army's paralysis and carelessness to withdraw from the position?

This may be a good solution for other generals, but it is not feasible for his old friend Wang Yi at all.

There is no need to think about it, once the battle is engaged, Wang Yu's department will definitely stick to his body like a piece of dog skin plaster.

What's more, knowing that the strength of the Qin army has increased greatly, he still took the initiative to attack, isn't this a move of three hundred taels of silver here!

Sure enough, war never has to be a little fluke.

If I had given up these ordnance materials earlier, maybe there would have been no such disaster.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is only one last way left - sacrificing the small part and preserving the majority.

Looking at the generals who were quietly waiting for orders in the tent, Lian Po smiled slightly.

"The 3,000 troops of the Chinese army will be stationed at the same place with the general, and the rest of the armies will abandon all ordnance and materials and quickly evacuate like Xinzheng." Lian Po immediately issued a military order.

"Old General, how does this work?!"

"General, let the last general stay!"

Hearing the order of the old general Lian Po, all the generals suddenly became anxious and persuaded General Lian Po to withdraw his order.

"If you stay, can you stop the Qin army?" Lian Po ignored the persuasion of the crowd at all, and ordered, "Needless to say, set off immediately, and the faster you go, the safer I will be."

The generals who heard the words were still waiting to look at each other, but Lian Po had already snorted coldly: "This is already a military order."

"Yes." Helplessly, under the strong pressure of Lian Po, everyone could only promise one after another.

Immediately, the generals turned around and walked out of the military tent.

Bursts of neighing of horses followed, and it was clear that Zhao Jun's action was as fast as ever.

Of course, the Qin army came in a mighty way, and there was still time, and Lian Po never thought that he could stop the Qin army with just himself and the 3,000 army.

If there is not enough manpower, we can only take the power and the great power of heaven and earth.

The power of heaven and earth can be borrowed from people to be used by people, and it is nothing more than the words "water" and "fire".

Although there is a small stream flowing in the wall, it is not a big river, and it can only be used to quench thirst, and there is no way to talk about water attack.

The only thing left is the fire attack.

"Decree to the Chinese army, from now on, the barrier is allowed to enter but not to leave." Seeing the rapid departure of the army, General Lian Po immediately ordered, "Pour fire oil all over the barrier."

"Yes." Zhongjun Sima immediately agreed.

With the order of General Lian Po, only 500 of the remaining 3,000 people were assigned to guard all the entrances and exits, and the remaining 2,000 people began the "irrigation operation".

Barrels of fire oil were poured on ordnance, grain and grass as if they were not for money, and behind the wooden fence were bundles of hay soaked with fire oil, and on the wall of the village, there were many scarecrows soaked in fire oil and dressed in armor.

After more than two hours of rushing work, with the unremitting efforts of the elite of the Chinese army, the core defense line of the entire fortress has become a bundle of dry firewood, as long as there is a little spark, it will be ignited.

Even, under the warm autumn sun, it may not be long before this barrier full of fire oil will spontaneously combust.

Immediately, except for the hundreds of people on the city wall to make the final delay to the Qin army, the rest of the army followed Lian Po behind the wall, waiting for orders.

And Qin Jun finally stepped on the brilliance of the scorching sun and appeared in Zhao Jun's field of vision.

"Report!" An urgent report came from a galloping war horse not far away.

Wang Yi immediately raised his right hand, and the Xuan-colored Daxu was raised high, swaying slightly twice against the breeze, and tens of thousands of Qin troops immediately stopped their sonorous steps.

As the scouts galloped, a harrier rolled over and landed firmly in front of Wang Di.

"General." With both hands clenched into fists, the scout immediately reported: "Above the Zhao army barrier ahead, the Lian Zi Daxu is still hanging high, but above the wall, from a distance, there are only a thousand people stationed."

"Got it." Wang Yi waved his hand lightly and said, "Continue to investigate."

"Yes." The scout immediately took orders.

"General, will the ramparts be deceitful?" One of the generals, who also heard the scout's words, immediately stepped forward and asked.

"What can you deceive?" Wang Yi shook his head lightly.

"What if there are tens of thousands of ambushes hidden inside the barrier?" The general on the side then continued.

"If there are tens of thousands of soldiers, why do you need to?" Wang Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

"What does the general mean?" The general then asked, "Is this a trick on the old thief?"

"If it's a trick or not, you'll know if you attack it." Wang Yi smiled slightly, but ordered: "The front army is three thousand, attack!"

"Yes." The herald next to him immediately agreed.

Immediately, the big drum behind Wang Ji shook gently again, and the drums and trumpets also played in unison.

Immediately, the 3,000 soldiers of the front army slaughtered the barrier of the Zhao army.

At the same time, the Zhao army quickly discovered the movements of the Qin army above the fortress, and informed Lian Po under the walled tower with a banner.

"Fortunately, for the sake of stability, Wang Di only used 3,000 soldiers to come to the test." Lian Po silently breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the more than 2,000 elite Chinese troops waiting behind him, and Lian Po was slightly settled: "Three thousand soldiers, I can delay for a while longer."

Not long after, a signal came from above the city: the Qin army was five hundred steps away from the wall.

"Five hundred steps, it's time!"

Lian Po knew that the only way to prevent the Qin army from discovering the lack of bows and crossbows on the city walls was to defeat the Qin army beyond range.

Immediately, Lian Po ordered, "Open the door."

Immediately, with a creaking sound, the door of the rampart was slammed open.

Lian Po immediately raised the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Sons, kill the enemy with me!"

"Kill!" As he spoke, holding a long knife, Lian Po took the lead in breaking out of the barrier.

Immediately afterwards, more than 2,000 elite Chinese troops behind him also followed the footsteps of the old General Lian Po one after another and rushed out of the barrier.

In just an instant, the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world.

The Qin army that was marching obviously didn't expect that the Zhao army would break out of the barrier at all, and the Zhao army was all cavalry, and the distance of five hundred steps was just a matter of an instant for the cavalry.

In the panic, Rao was the elite of the Qin army, and he didn't have time to adjust his formation.

Just as he was stunned, the cavalry of the Zhao army had already thrown the first round of arrows at the Qin army. The dense queue made the Qin army suffer heavy losses in an instant.

The originally well-organized military formation instantly became like gnawing through teeth.

Without waiting for the Qin army to reorganize its formation, Lian Po's long knife had quietly fallen.

A large head was thrown into the blue sky in an instant, followed by a second and a third.

Immediately another round of arrow rain fell, almost in the rhythm of arrows falling, and the cavalry of the Zhao army followed immediately into the Qin army's formation.

In just one face, the Qin army's 3,000 army had already lost hundreds of people.

Seeing that the military formation was in chaos, the captain of the Qin army still did not give the order to reverse, and even wanted to reorganize the military formation.

It's a pity that the big knife, which had already been aimed at him, didn't give him more opportunities to speak......
