Chapter 25: The Battlefield (Happy New Year)
Zhao Di, Wu Sui.
This was originally a famous military fortress of the Zhao State.
Today, however, the site is in ruins.
The remnants of armor scattered everywhere, the smoke of gunpowder, and the flames of war, witnessed the tragic battle here not long ago.
In the face of the war weapons made by the domineering mechanism of the Gongyi family, even the Wusui city wall, which was more than several zhang high, could not support it in the end, and under the repeated bombardment of various war weapons, most of it finally collapsed.
A fortress that lost its walls is like losing the west of Jerusalem two thousand years later.
Although the city is still there, it is no different from the young woman's boudoir that does not close late at night.
Today it is an abandoned fortress.
However, no one found out.
It was here that the war had just ended.
After being repulsed, a Qin army team quietly returned to the ruined city and began to rebuild the collapsed city walls.
"Uncle Dajiang, what are we doing here?"
In the Qin army team, a recruit named "Reed" was carrying blue bricks and gravel in the ruins, and he couldn't help but ask the senior next to him.
"Build the wall!"
"What? Repair walls? At this time, repair the wall, in case Zhao Jun suddenly returns, what should we do? When Lu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't worry! Now that the front-line army has led the Zhao army to the battlefield a hundred miles away, even if the other party begins to retreat at this time, it is impossible to return here without four or five days. ”
Regarding the reed's worries, the veteran 'Dajiang' didn't care at all, and said with a big grin.
However, hearing this, the reed not only did not let go of his heart, but felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Four or five days? But if such a wall is to be repaired, it will take a month at the earliest! ”
As soon as these words came out, before the veteran 'Da Jiang' could speak, he heard another veteran on the side grinning at him: "Hey~~ boy, new here!" Today, I will let you know what it means to be miraculous. ”
······
······
At the same time.
Qindi, Yanmen.
Meng Wei stood on the wall wearing battle armor, followed by Meng Tian on the left and Qin General Huan Qi on the right. The three of them looked at the 100,000 Zhao military camp tents stationed outside the city, and their eyes were cold.
A month ago.
The Qin general Meng Wei led an army of 200,000 troops to the border of Zhao State, and asked the king of Zhao for an explanation on the grounds that "the [new grain] of Qin State was stolen a few months ago".
Zhao Guo naturally refused to admit it.
It is true that Luoxingmen stole the [New Grain Seed] just Mo Jun and Ying Zheng made it up, but it is a fact that Zhao Guo stole the [New Grain Seed].
But the theft was done by a thief, and Zhao Guo, as one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, naturally could not openly admit that he had done such an unbearable thing.
So Zhao Guo said: "Old Qin! You came over to question me so openly, my old Zhao can't get over his face. It's hard to do! ”
Then Qin Guo flipped the table: "Difficult to do? Then don't do it! ”
Ling Te Niang opened her eyes and took a good look.
My Lao Qin came over with so many troops, as if he was doing a good job with you?
So the war was on the verge of breaking out.
Meng Wei led an army of 200,000 troops to march from two roads, and in less than half a month, he connected the Yanmen and Yunzhong places of Zhao State.
And it is still advancing towards the internal line of Zhao until it reaches the outside of the city of Wusui of Zhao State.
Until this time.
Zhao Wangqian finally couldn't sit still.
Hurriedly dispatched General Zhao to lead 100,000 troops to rush to the aid from the rear, and finally fought with the Qin army outside Wusui City for three days and three nights.
After paying the price of half of the destruction of Wusui City, the Zhao army finally succeeded in keeping the Qin army out of the city, and launched a counterattack, sending the Qin army back to the land of Yanmen.
Well!
At least in Zhao Guo's view, Hu Yu at this time did push the battle line back.
However, in reality, this was originally a plan to lure the enemy into the depths.
······
"It's almost time!"
Looking at the scorching sun gradually rising in the sky, Meng Wei took out a 'sundial pocket watch' from his arms, and after silently calculating the time it would take to build the city wall on Wusui's side, he said in a deep voice.
"Where is Meng Tian?"
"Here's the lowly position."
"I will order you to command an army of 50,000 and march from the left flank to block the enemy's left retreat, and there must be no mistake."
"Subordinates receive orders."
Meng Tian bowed down to receive Meng Fei's general order.
Immediately after that, Meng Fu spoke to the right again.
"Where is Huan Qi?"
"The subordinates are here."
"I will order you to command an army of 50,000 men, march from the right flank, and block the enemy's right retreat, without mistake."
"Subordinates receive orders."
Huan Qi also respectfully hugged his fists and received the general order.
"The rest of the soldiers obeyed the command of the general, marched from the front, and attacked!"
With Meng Fu's order, the 200,000 Qin army suddenly dispatched and suddenly launched an attack on the Zhao army camp with an unprecedented momentum.
It was just the first round of charge, and countless Zhao Jun were immediately stunned.
After all, in the past few days of war, it has been obvious that Zhao Guo has been fighting and winning successively, why did all of a sudden, the situation suddenly become like this?
It's only half an hour.
The front-line army of the 100,000 Zhao army was crumbling under the repeated impact of Meng Fu.
Seeing that his army was about to collapse, General Zhao could only issue military orders and was forced to choose to retreat temporarily, intending to return to the rear to regroup before making plans.
And yet next.
What Hu Yu didn't expect happened again.
In this battle, the Qin army had obviously achieved a huge advantage, but they didn't even clean up the battlefield, and directly pursued the defeated Zhao army.
This kind of behavior should be even more unbearable, and I can't help but be stunned.
To know.
Today's Zhao army is only defeated, but it has not completely routed and lost its combat effectiveness.
In this case, it is never the right decision to chase after it like this.
When the forest does not enter, the poor do not chase.
This is the most basic essence of the art of war.
War is about repeatedness, decay, and exhaustion······
Not only does a long chase consume a lot of physical strength, but if the chase fails to achieve results, it is easy to cause a decline in your morale.
If it's this time.
If the enemy suddenly launches a counterattack, it is easy to make a desperate comeback.
This kind of low-level tactical mistake, logically speaking, should not appear in the body of a master of the art of war.
Hu Lu was quite puzzled by what Qin Jun had done, but Qin Jun's reluctance did not give Hu Lu much time to think.
In the face of the pursuit of nearly 200,000 troops, Hu Fan could only fight and retreat.
Until five days later.
When the remaining seventy or eighty thousand Zhao troops under the commander of Hu Yu retreated back to Wusui, the group looked at the scene in front of them and instantly widened their eyes.
······
Chinese New Year's Eve, a little busy, late update, sorry!
