Chapter 219: Say it, who can sleep.
After knowing that no less than 100,000 Zhao troops were seven miles away from here.
A trace of cold sweat appeared behind Bai Yan and Wang Ben.
Almost, if you walk five miles further, or arrive here a little later, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Bai Yan looked at the sky.
At dusk, there should be no battle now, but it is not ruled out that Li Mu will send a large army to attack at night, after all, the distance of seven miles, not to mention Zhao Bianqi, even if the soldiers take advantage of the night to attack, it will not take long to walk.
"Probe!"
Bai Yan said to the soldiers.
"No!"
The soldier surrendered his hand, and then, under the gaze of everyone, rode his war horse and turned away.
"General Wang Ben thinks it's offensive or defensive right now?"
Bai Yan did not rush to order, but turned his head to look at Wang Ben.
Whether it is age or combat experience, Wang Ben is far better than him.
Now that they are only seven miles away from the Zhao army, they need to make a decision as soon as possible whether to attack or defend.
"Offensive or defensive?"
Wang Ben was a little surprised when he heard Bai Yan's inquiry.
Wang Ben didn't expect Bai Yan to think about attacking after knowing the number of Zhao troops.
After pondering for a few breaths, Wang Ben shook his head, he advocated sticking to it.
"Wang Ben thinks that he should hold the wall and wait for my father to lead the follow-up army to arrive here."
Wang Ben said.
Then give Bai Yan an analysis.
Now the Qin army has been divided into three parts, here is the first part, the second part of the army is besieging Yanhe, and the third part of the army is the army under his father's command rushing to Yanhe.
Li Mu's army must have planned to come here, or camp closer to Yanhe, but they arrived here first.
As the first line of defense against Li Mu, and it is also the road with the most soldiers in the army, it is a matter of success or failure in the fight against Zhao, and it must not be lost.
Secondly, although the Zhao army has lost the opportunity at the moment, Zhao Bianqi was brought out by Li Mu, and he has experienced vicious battles all year round, and his combat power is by no means ordinary.
However, once Zhao Jun came back to his senses and there were no reinforcements, the consequences were unpredictable.
It was too important to take risks.
"Good! Then we'll be stationed here. ”
Bai Yan listened to Wang Ben's analysis, thought for a moment, and nodded.
Wang Ben was relieved to see that Bai Yan did not choose to rush to send troops.
"In order to prevent the Zhao army from attacking at night, the soldiers can dig deep trenches and divert water into the trenches."
Wang Ben said.
At the moment, you can use the Zhangshui River next to it to help defend, even if Zhao Bian rides over on the second day, he can also block the momentum.
As long as they hold here, Zhao Jun can't do anything to them.
"At night, let the soldiers burn more bonfires."
Bai Yan added.
The corners of Wang Ben's mouth rose and he nodded with a smile.
"Then the two of us will go down separately and set it up."
Bai Yan looked at Wang Ben and arched his hand.
Wang Ben bowed to Bai Yan, then turned around and led the horse away.
Bai Yan looked at Wang Ben's departing back, looked down and saw that his war horse had already drunk water, so he led the war horse and walked in the direction of the iron cavalry army.
Before dark.
The wagon, loaded with grain and grass, finally arrived.
All the soldiers were allowed to eat, retreat to the back, and set up tents.
Piles of bonfires lit on the plains.
Bai Yan walked in the camp, and Ye followed behind Bai Yan.
Looking at the people sitting in front of the fire talking about the soldiers with each other, Bai Yan felt a pressure in his heart.
Thinking that his opponent was Li Mu, Bai Yan was a little worried.
Even when the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu went south, he didn't have so much pressure, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu went south, he was in the dark at that time, and the Yueshi and the Xiongnu were not of the same mind.
But this time, Li Mu and Sima Shang are both famous generals of Zhao State.
"General, it has been arranged, if the Zhao army attacks at night, it will definitely be able to predict in advance."
Yan Mao came to Bai Yan at this time and arched his hand and said.
Bai Yan nodded.
"You go down and rest first!"
Bai Yan said to Yan Mao.
After Yan Mao left, Bai Yan turned his head to look in the direction of the well diameter.
Counting Li Mu's deeds, Bai Yan vaguely felt that Zhao Guodai encountered an earthquake, coupled with years of drought, once Li Mu knew that he was a suspicious soldier here, he would definitely charge at any cost.
After all, as long as Li Mu occupies this place, he can go to Qicheng, and the Qin army will never be able to fight in Yanhe, and it is bound to retreat to Qicheng again.
Today, he didn't take the lead and didn't take advantage of the situation to seize the initiative, Bai Yan always had a hunch, which was very fatal.
Li Mu is not Pang Juan, and these bonfires alone may not be able to deceive Li Mu.
Under the bonfire, the burning stones made a continuous cracking sound.
Bai Yan walked and walked, and suddenly saw the two of them, Qi and Feng Nian, sitting by the bonfire.
"General!"
"General!!"
The two were still arguing about something, but when they saw Bai Yan coming, they got up one after another and smiled.
Bai Yan listened to the two of them call him, and he was already used to it.
In the army, Bai Yan can't do many things casually, but fortunately, whether it is Qi or Feng Nian, he is the same as always.
"What are you fighting for?"
Bai Yan looked at the two of them, a little curious.
Feng Nian and Qi saw Bai Yan asking, and Feng Nian was the first to speak.
"This kid used to peek at family letters from time to time, I always wondered, and I learned later that this kid was going to be a father!"
Feng Nian looked at Bai Yan and pointed at Qi with his thumb.
When Bai Yan heard Feng Nian's words, he looked at Jue with a surprised face, he had been to Jue's hometown and had seen Jue's parents and the woman.
It seems that five or six months have passed.
"Awesome!"
Bai Yan was a little amazed at his ability.
Jue lowered his head, his old face was flushed, and he kept scratching his head, feeling uncomfortable.
After all, it was the first time for him to be a father, and he was also confused, he felt that he had called his parents when he went home before, but suddenly, when he went home in the future, he also had his own children.
It's hard to describe, a little scared, a little overwhelmed, but also excited and happy.
"Why don't you tell me?"
Bai Yan looked at Jue.
Listening to Feng Nian's words, calculating the time, when he was in Gaonu, he should have received a letter from home.
"I don't want to go back at this time!"
When he heard Bai Yan's words, he raised his head, and looked at Bai Yan with a straight look on his red old face.
The meaning of that look, Bai Yan can know what it is.
Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, it's not so easy for you to go back now."
Bai Yan said.
In the night, Bai Yan sat by the fire with Jue, Feng Nian and Ye, and chatted for a while.
Speaking of which, after being the main general, there have always been many things in the army about Gao Nu, as well as those soldiers who were killed and wounded, all of which need to be dealt with by Bai Yan.
Bai Yan rarely sat with Feng Nian and Qi like now.
It was at this time that Bai Yan knew that after Feng Nian came to Gaonu with him, he had been working hard to learn Qin characters, so that he could understand it when his favorite woman asked someone to send letters in the future.
Bai Yan admired Feng Nian's infatuation very much.
Looking at the sky, Bai Yan thought that Qi Du was already preparing to be a father, and he didn't know if his father and mother had found a relative for his brother in Qi Kingdom.
Once Tian Feiyan Tuo Luqi brought him a message and vaguely told him that she had found a reason to give money to his family.
Come to think of it.
Bai Yan felt that his father and mother should be looking for a family affair for his eldest brother.
I just don't know how the woman is, whether she is fierce or not, and whether she can get along with her eldest brother.
Come to think of it.
Bai Yan couldn't help laughing, his eyes full of longing.
I think of my father, my eldest brother, and the time we spent together when I was a child.
"What's wrong?"
When Jue's voice came, Bai Yan came back to his senses and shook his head.
We chatted for a while.
Bai Yan asked Feng Nian and Jue to rest early.
Before leaving, Bai Yan did not tell Qi and Feng Nian about the fact that Zhao Jun was a few miles away.
At this time, it is likely that a battle with Li Mu is unavoidable, in this case, it is better not to say it and let the two of them sleep well.
After all, if you know that there are no less than 100,000 Zhao troops seven miles away, as well as Zhao Guowu Anjun Li Mu.
Who can sleep!
