Chapter 487 It doesn't matter what you think (at the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)
In August of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, the vanguard of a Qin army took the lead in crossing the Qin-Yan border and stepping across the Yishui River all the way to the north, and at this time the Yan State was still reacting, this country was like an old lady in the twilight years, in all aspects of the mechanism, its reaction speed was simply outrageous, but the unbearable Yan State was a good thing for the Qin army as its enemy.
In war, the enemy's weaknesses and mistakes are your own fighters.
It wasn't until the Qin army's vanguard followed the gap in the Great Wall system built by Yan to defend against Zhao and entered the boundary of Fangcheng that the Yan State reacted, but the poor mobilization ability of the Yan State made it impossible for the Yan State to mobilize a large army for a while, and this country, whether it was the princes and magnates at the top or the people at the bottom, was shrouded in a very lazy twilight.
Yan Dan, the only one who wanted to make a difference, just took the wrong path.
When the Qin army's forward crossed Fangcheng and went all the way to the northeast, the main force of the Qin army had also approached the Great Wall, and in the face of powerful enemies, whether it was Zhao or Qi, or now Yan, they seemed to like to build the Great Wall, but could the Great Wall really have the effect they should have?
First, the Qin army of 10,000 horsemen broke into the territory of Yan as if it were no one, and then 100,000 Qin soldiers came under the Great Wall, even if Yan Guo's reaction was extremely slow, but this time was enough for Yan Guo's fear to spread.
"So fast?" In the palace of King Yan, King Yan looked at the military newspaper in his hand, and his extremely fair face was full of thought, but what he was thinking about, no one knew.
"Father, please mobilize troops and horses as soon as possible to meet the Qin army." In the face of such a major event as the entry of the Qin army, several important ministers from the Yan Kingdom naturally rushed to the Yan Palace, among these people were the crown prince Yan Dan and Yan Chunjun, who was the younger brother of Yan Wang, and the person who spoke was Yan Dan.
At this time, Yan Dan had already understood why the plan he had set on Guo Kai had not been launched, it turned out that Yang Ming had such an idea, and he was directly pressing the realm with a large army, not caring about the calculations at all, purely crushing with strength, in the face of the absolute power of the Qin army for Yan Guo, all calculations would turn into dust.
"It's to mobilize troops and horses, general, as the top military general of our Yan Kingdom, do you have any suggestions in the face of this situation?" Yan Wangxi looked at the general Yan Yi and said.
Yan Yi saw that Yan Wangxi threw the topic to himself, and knew that he would not be able to escape this time no matter what, so he could only come out and say: "King, the Qin army only captured the Zhao State this year, and the Zhao State has a food shortage, under such circumstances, the Qin army can still attack our Yan State, which is really abnormal." ”
"But he's already happened, what's the point of saying this." Yan Chunjun snorted coldly, if you want to say who is the most panicked in the pressure of the Qin army, except for Yan Wangxi, it must be Yan Chunjun, he can be powerful in Yan State, and he can even bully Yan Yi as a general of Yan State, it is precisely because of his identity as a royal brother, if Yan Country does not exist, where else can he go to be powerful, although he may not love Yan Country much, but he cherishes his power.
"Yan Chunjun, let the general continue, do you know more about military affairs than him?" Yan Wangxi waved his hand and said, so that Yan Chunjun, who still wanted to say something, swallowed the words back into his stomach directly.
"Great King, Yan Junjun, the Qin army is attacking our Yan State at this time, Zhao Di can't provide them with even a trace of support, the grain and grass required by the Qin army can only be mobilized from the Qin country, between the mountains and the road, the Qin army's grain and grass supply must be very difficult, we just need to delay, drag until the Qin army is tired of food, they will naturally retreat." Yan Yi continued to explain to Yan Wangxi.
"It's as simple as that?" Yan Dan frowned and said, Drag? Who doesn't know that the best way for Yan Guo is to drag, but how to drag it and why to drag it? That's the crux of the matter.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, of course things are not so simple, the reason why this is so is not only because it is necessary to target the weaknesses of the Qin army, but also to target the strengths of the Qin army, the Qin army's combat strength is the best in the world, and it is Yang Ming's army, this person has been the best thing since the conquest, the best thing is a frontal decisive battle, the death of Zhao State is to suffer a loss in this regard, the main army was defeated by Yang Ming in a battle, and since then Zhao has no strength to resist the Qin army." Yan Yi expressed his opinion.
"There are lessons from the past of the Zhao State, so what we have to do is to avoid this situation, and the walls of our Yan Kingdom have been repaired for so many years, not just for the sake of good looks, as long as we order all the cities to guard the cities and let the Qin army attack, before the deep winter comes, how much can the Qin army capture?" Yan Yi continued, what he said could be described as the head of the road, so that Yan Wangxi, who was sitting on the throne, nodded frequently.
"So according to the general's intentions, is it to let the Qin army ravage the land and people of my Yan Kingdom?" Yan Dan questioned out loud, pinning the Yan Kingdom on the size of the enemy's appetite, is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?
"Prince, what do you think?" Yan Yi, who has been targeted by Yan Dan many times, also has a little more anger, when the Qin army did not come, because of the consistent tradition of the Yan Kingdom, he was afraid of the core figures of the royal family such as Yan Chunjun and Yan Dan, but now that the Qin army has come, who else does he, the general, need to be afraid of, and who else can hold the position of general in the current Yan Kingdom?
With Yan Chunjun or with him Yan Dan? At this moment, Yan Yi really may not be afraid of anyone.
The value of the great generals, especially the great generals of the Yan Kingdom, can only be fully reflected at this time.
In the face of Yan Yi's counterattack, Yan Dan was speechless for a while, what could he do, that was the Qin army, the only Zhao army that could compete with the Qin army no longer existed, and the Zhao army could beat the army of the Yan State, not to mention the Qin army whose combat power was still above the Zhao army.
"Relying on the city, do you resist the Qin army layer by layer?" Yan Wangxi groaned, looking at Yan Yi's gaze with a little more recognition, this general Yan Yi, although he is indeed average in terms of conduct, but in the end he is the only general who can be used in Yan Country at present, at least he will not brag, so as not to let Yan Wangxi misjudge anything.
Thinking of Yan Yi, Yan Wangxi couldn't help but think of the drama of the year, when the throne of King Zhao changed, and Zhao Wangyan forced away the general Lian Po under a series of operations that ordinary people could not understand, and made Pang Xuan, who was a lot older, become the general of Zhao State.
At that time, Ju Xin, who was still the general of Yan State, advised Yan Wang Xi, saying that he knew Pang Xuan's strength, and as long as he sent troops, he could defeat Pang Xuan, and then defeat the Zhao army, not only to recover the city that Zhao took from Yan State, but also to cut off a piece of fat from Zhao State.
At that time, Yan Wangxi believed it and sent a large army to attack Zhao State, and then the result was? The result was naturally a fiasco, not only did he not get the slightest advantage from Zhao State, but was pushed back by the Zhao army, and several cities were occupied by the Zhao army, and even Ju Xin himself died in that war.
Since then, Yan Wangxi has hated people who speak wildly, and he has become more cautious.
At this time, Yan Yi's statement was naturally very much in line with Yan Wangxi's appetite, because he himself thought so, so he also regarded it as the right decision.
"Exactly, my lord, time is more favorable to us." Yan Yi said firmly.
"yes, time is better for us." Yan Wangxi muttered to himself, he had already made up his mind in his heart, exchanging space for time, although Yan Wangxi didn't know this sentence, but many of the truths were the same, but they had different expressions, and Yan Wangxi just understood the similar truths.
It's just that the strategy in the war is not what you want, although your own ideas are good, but you also have to look at what the enemy's intentions are, otherwise it is just a unilateral effort, and it is easy to make things go in the opposite direction, and the more you try, the farther you go.
It's just that the current Yan Wangxi obviously doesn't understand this truth, as for Yan Dan, he is not as good as Yan Wangxi.
Between the gaps in the big river between the east and west sections of the Great Wall of Yan, the Qin army found a few huge building ships from somewhere, linked them with iron cables, and then pounced on the template between the building ships and the building boats, the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom, which was condescendingly occupying the terrain, was instantly leveled by the chain of iron chain warships of the Qin army, and the defenders of the Great Wall of Yan who lost their geographical advantage faced the Qin army that was two grades higher than them in terms of combat power. In less than half an hour, the Qin army attacked the Great Wall.
Of course, the chain chain warship is not invincible, he also has his own fatal weakness, but unfortunately, the knowledge of the Yan army makes them unable to find the weakness of the Qin army's warship in a short period of time, and all they can do is to face the powerful offensive of the Qin army.
When Yan Wangxi, Yan Yi and others were still discussing how to use the city to defend the Qin army layer by layer, the Qin army had already advanced more than thirty miles east and west along the Great Wall of Yan, and the end of the fall of the Great Wall of Yan was doomed, it was only a matter of time, and this time would not be too long.
When the Qin army attacked the Great Wall of Yan, the vanguard army led by Li Mu had already traveled all the way to the northeast, drove straight in, and directly attacked the big river ferry of Yan, and the lone army went deep into it, and the most taboo was that the back road was cut off, and when the ferry was captured, it could be transported by water, or by the big river, or by sea between Yan and Qi to transport grain and grass, so that the vanguard of the Qin army would not be trapped by the Yan army when blocking the Yanshan passage.
"What exactly does the Qin Army Pioneer want to do? With their 10,000 troops, they also want to capture Jicheng, but they can't? "The Yan Kingdom was confused by the Qin army's strange Qin army's offensive route, and when the Qin army began to march towards Jicheng in the northwest direction based on the Dahe port, Jicheng was even more confused.
