Dongheng City.

The figure of Zhao Wangqian appeared here, and after resting for a day, he continued to go north, heading to the Beidai land on the border with the Yan Kingdom.

The army of the Yan State began to gather towards the Hejian area, and it would take about ten days to complete the gathering and march into the Zhao State.

Between the rivers.

Yan Dan held the latest battle report in his hand, and the Qin army had begun to attack the cities of Jingcheng, Bairen, Shadune, House, and Fei, which were still a hundred miles away from the south bank of the Hutuo River.

At the same time, the Qin army outside Yanmen Pass also showed signs of eastward movement, and the vast territory of Zhao was about to become a place for the Qin army to step on horseback, and the generals of the Zhao army guarding various places were afraid that it would be difficult to resist the Qin army.

Yan Dan asked the guards to pass on the order to Fan Yu.

Yan Dan continued to look at the terrain and map, looking for the best geographical location to resist.

Time passed, and a voice came from outside the tent, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, General Fan has arrived." ”

Yan Dan: "General, please come in." ”

Fan Yuzhi opened the curtain and walked into the military tent, saluting, "Your Highness." ”

Yan Dan: "General, come and see, it is the best choice for the Yan army to stop the Qin army there." ”

"The Qin army in Yunzhong and Yanmen also has signs of eastward advance, Wang Jian and Meng Wu have led the Qin army to the north, and what the Yan army needs to do now is to protect Zhao Wangqian to ensure that the national glory of Zhao is not destroyed."

Fan Yuqi looked at Yan Dan's position on the topographic map back and forth, and frowned.

As a former general of the Qin State, Fan Yuqi was quite familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and Yan Dan was too confident or conceited in several positions.

Fan Yuqi "Your Highness, according to His Royal Highness, he only needs to ensure the life of Zhao Wangqian and protect the national glory of Zhao State, and the last general thinks that the fortification of these places will be better than the geographical location that His Highness is optimistic about." ”

Yan Dan looked at the position that Fan Yuzhi was pointing at, raised his eyes and asked, "General, tell me." ”

Fan Yuqi: "Your Highness, please see, the position that His Highness originally looked at was that the Yan army was evenly distributed, but because it was too balanced, the Yan army would not be the opponent of the Qin army with concentrated forces at all. ”

"Although the Mo family has created many trap beasts and giant crossbows for the Yan Kingdom, if you follow the layout of His Highness, these trap beasts and giant crossbows will not be able to concentrate at all, and if they are too scattered, they will be broken one by one by the concentrated Qin army."

"The Qin army was able to destroy the capitals of Han, Wei, and Zhao in such a short period of time, relying on their powerful military suppression and concentration of troops."

"If we have no way to resist the concentrated Qin army, this war will end in the same way as the Three Kingdoms."

Yan Dan looked down, and after Fan Yuzhi spoke, Yan Dan realized that he had unconsciously thought that the Yan army was capable of fighting the Qin army on the battlefield.

ignored the terrifying armament of the Qin army, thinking that he could rely on the Mo family's machinery to compete with the Qin army.

Yan Dan looked at the position that Fan Yuqi pointed to and said, "According to the general, is it in this position that you concentrate your military forces and confront each other with the Qin army?" ”

Fan Yuzhi: "Yes, Your Highness. ”

"The terrain here is narrow, the Qin army's iron cavalry is useless, and it is difficult to spread out a large number of armaments. Our army relied on trap beasts and equipment to defend against the Qin army, so that Zhao Wangqian would have enough time to gather the Zhao army, and then the two countries would hold on to this place, and it would be difficult for the Qin army to set foot on it. ”

Yan Dan nodded, Fan Yuqi was indeed more perfect than he thought.

Yan Dan "General, since you are confident, then this battle will be entrusted to the general." ”

Fan Yuzhi saluted and said, "I will live up to His Highness's trust." ”

Fan Yuzhi left the military tent, and Yan Dan summoned another messenger and asked him to go to Zhao Wangqian's escape route and hand a secret letter he wrote to Zhao Wangqian.

Lingshou City.

Wang Jian had already led 70,000 Qin troops across the Hutuo River and besieged Lingshou City.

The first rays of sunlight shone down in the early morning, and the sound of war drums was heard in the Qin army's barracks.

The Qin army, which had been ready for battle last night, began to form a formation out of the camp and ran towards the arranged military formation under the leadership of their respective captains and centurions.

Wearing silver-white armor on his body, hanging oxtail knives and quivers around his waist, and carrying a crossbow machine on his back, this is the Qin army's infantry crossbowman; Holding a spear in his hand, he is a foot spearman; Holding a giant shield in both hands, this is the shield soldier standing in front of the military formation.

In a group of ten, led by two commanders, the Qin army of giant crossbows and catapult bed crossbows were armed soldiers wearing only armor, with knives hanging from their waists and holding small shields or round shields, who were responsible for pushing siege equipment and climbing cities.

In half an hour, the 30,000 Qin troops had already finished arranged, and Wang Jian began to attack Lingshou City according to the process he was already familiar with.

The catapult bed crossbow and the giant crossbow began to bombard the gate of Lingshou City, and Lingshou City, which was not a heavy city, was not able to hold out until dusk and was broken into the city by the Qin army, and then the two sides carried out street battles in the city, and the work efficiency of the crossbow machine was much stronger than that of the bow and arrow, so a large number of Zhao troops who surrendered soon appeared in the city.

At dusk, Wang Jian entered Lingshou, and the county guards and generals in the city had fled, Wang Jian didn't care, and began to pacify the people in the city and pacify all the nobles according to the process, and harvest their wealth to help the slaves and commoners in the city.

The end of the city in front of the Qin army is basically two, take the initiative to surrender the city or break the city and flee.

Anping, a city built on the banks of the Hutuo River, blocked the path of Mengwu, who had been blocked here for three days.

When the news of the destruction of Lingshou City came, Meng Wu gave the order for a general attack.

Under the orders of Meng Wu, 60,000 Qin troops began to forcibly cross the river ten miles upstream from Anping City.

On the south bank, the giant crossbow and catapult bed crossbow troops responsible for vigilance are always observing the situation on the north bank, and once there is a trace of the Zhao army, they will directly attack to cover the foot soldiers to cross the Hutuo River.

The Zhao army in Anping City really attacked, and the Qin army, which had been in the forefront, conveyed the news of the Zhao army's cavalry attack and passed the direction to the south bank.

Receiving the news, the giant crossbow and the ejection bed crossbow began to attack in front of the target, and the roar and hissing continued to sound.

The cannonballs and exploding spears flying across the Hutuo River were greatly reduced in power and did not pose much threat to the attacking 2,000 cavalry.

First, the line of sight is not good, second, the distance is too far, and third, the accuracy is too much.

The Qin army, which had crossed the Hutuo River, began to fire crossbows, and quickly formed a formation during this time period, and a half-moon-shaped horse-repulsion formation quickly took shape under the struggle of three waves of crossbows.

Both sides have a small number of people, and each has the same thing to do, which is to reduce the number of the other side in the fastest time and block the progress of the other side.

The two armies collided, and the crescent moon turned into two full moons, leaving behind the mutilated bodies of more than a hundred horses and many soldiers.

As soon as the Zhao army rushed out of the Qin army's formation, it was greeted by an overwhelming barrage of cannonballs and bursting spears.

At this moment, the cavalry generals of the Zhao army understood why the Qin army used the weakest crescent moon formation to meet them, and it turned out that there was still an attack waiting for them in the back.

Within the line of sight, the three conditions of closer distance and clear location converged, and the end of Zhao Jun came like this.

Before the Zhao army, which was at the forefront, could turn around, it was pierced by the exploding iron piece, and even the men and horses fell, and were trampled into the river bank by the horses' hooves behind.

By the time Zhao Jun left the meat grinding ground, less than half of the 2,000 cavalry remained.

The general of the Zhao army disappeared, and the army's spirit was broken and began to run towards the way it came, without the slightest intention of stopping.

This short confrontation cost the Qin army a thousand people in exchange for crossing the Hutuo River.

Meng Wu led the Qin army and began to move towards Anping City downstream, and saw traces of the march halfway, which should be the news of the defeat of the cavalry, so that the Zhao army that came to stop them retreated into Anping City.

The Mengwu faction reprimanded and began to fully shrink the surrounding terrain to avoid encountering an ambush.

After Hou Xuan confirmed that it was safe, Meng Wu continued to order the army to move forward.

came to the outside of Anping City to prepare for the siege, and the front army came to report, and the gate of Anping City was opened.

Meng Wu came to the front of the military formation, looked at the Zhao army out of the city, and found that these Zhao troops were older and the armament on their bodies was old, and the experienced Meng Wu had already understood everything that happened in Anping City.

Meng Wu sent people into the city to inquire about the news, and when the three stars were in the field, the captain who went to find out the news returned to the outside of the city and explained the situation in the city one by one, and the result was really as Meng Wu thought.

Meng Wu ordered the takeover of Anping City, and began to take over Anping City according to the Qin system.

After collecting all the weapons in the city, freeing all the slaves and relocating them, leaving 3,000 Qin troops to garrison and waiting for the arrival of the rear army, Meng Wu continued to lead the troops to attack.

Handan.

Yan Yan looked at Qingling and Yan Yan who appeared in front of him, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

With the two of them on the streets of Handan City, asking about the experience of the two during this time and the school entrance examination? Some learning.

Flame? Answering one by one, Yan Yan gave Yan Yan from another direction after listening. Explain and deepen his understanding of different things in one thing.

Yan Yan took the two to the Zhao Palace, walked in the corridor, looked at the withered beams and paintings and arches and cloud tiles of the Zhao Palace, and watched the architectural skills that were different from the customs of the Qin State.

Yan Yan began to tell about the different lifestyles, rituals and policies of a local folklore.

Yan Yan is holding Yan with one hand? , holding Qingling with one hand, listening while walking, asking questions, and asking questions one by one, he asked things he didn't understand.

Yan Yan answers them one by one, and a question will give different answers from two or more directions, and the results will naturally not be the same.

Qingling accompanied quietly, such a scene is not uncommon, as long as Mr. is in Xianyang, he is either Fusu Gongzi or his own children, and he is teaching them all the time.

[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Coming to the garden in the palace, Yan Yan sat by the lake, looking at the swimming fish in the lake, so that Yan? Go play on your own.

Qingling sat beside him and told the experience of this time in more detail, Yan Yan listened, and lightly wrapped his hand around his thin waist.

Qingling leaned on him, and her heart was peaceful and quiet.

Yan Yan: "Have you encountered any danger along the way?" ”

The head on Yan Yan's shoulder shook slightly, and then a small voice sounded softly in his ears, "It's all some little thieves, and there is no danger." ”

Yan Yan: "The pace of the Qin State has made the situation in the world clear, and many forces that do not want to be ruled by the Qin State will stand on the opposite side of the Qin State. ”

"The danger we will encounter next will be much greater than the destruction of Han Wei Zhao."

"In desperation, incidents of breaking the kettle and fighting against the tide will often occur, and we must always be vigilant."

Qingling: "The concubine body understands. ”

Yan Yan "The surveillance of the Yin and Yang family was removed, leaving the shadow guards and nets, and the flames and snowflakes went all out to infiltrate the Mauryan Dynasty in the west, the Qiang people in the southwest, Yelang and other countries, and made a sentence in advance. ”

Qingling: "Does Sister Xue know?" ”

Yan Yan nodded, his head against his head, and looked at Yan together. A small figure.

The officials who set out from Xianyang felt that Handan City had not yet settled down, so they quickly rushed to the surrounding cities under Yan Yan's order, carrying out the work of promoting the Qin Law, planning fields, and household statistics.

The moon is getting fuller and fuller, and there are only two days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Flame? Following Meng Wu's side, walking in the barracks, carrying a wooden sword on his back, which was sharpened by Yan Yan when he was in Handan City.

When the soldiers saw the two of them, they would stop and salute, "I've seen the general and the spring boy." ”

Mengwu and Yan? After returning the gift, we will continue to move forward.

Meng Wu: "Childe, will the Mid-Autumn Festival Master come here?" ”

Flame? He looked up and shook his head and said, "Father's letter says no, let?" Son and the general admired the moon together. ”

Meng Wu: "Will the prince miss the Taishi?" ”

Inflammation?" Yes. ”

Twenty days ago, Mrs. Qingling appeared in the barracks with Chun Gongzi and startled Meng Wu.

Qingling said that it was Yan Yan's order, so that Yan? Staying in the army and witnessing the courage of the Qin army, Meng Wu was relieved.

This incident was originally accompanied by the Taishi with the Fusu Gongzi, and this time it was Mrs. Qingling and the Spring Gongzi who walked together, both of which were to let the two people with prominent backgrounds in the Qin State witness the majesty of the Qin army.

The next day, the flames? A person appeared, and Meng Wu learned from him that Mrs. Qingling had left, so he hurriedly wrote to Yan Yan to inquire about the situation, and the reply he got was only three words, I know.

Posterior inflammation? In the army, he accompanied Meng Wu to eat and walk, and watched him give orders to command the army and judge the situation on the battlefield.

Mengwu convened a meeting of generals? still sat on the side, and sometimes put forward different ideas from another angle, which made him gain the respect of some generals.

Xianyang City.

Qingling returned to Liu Yang's mansion and found Xue Ji to send Yan Yan and Yan? The situation has been explained again, Xue Ji pulled her towards the yard, the four Menghu are no longer there, and the yard is much empty.

Zhao Li and Lang Yu were playing the qin, Yan Yu was in Mrs. Hu's arms, and Hu Mei and Mrs. Hu were sitting together with Yan Yu.

The sound of the piano was mixed with Yan Yu's crisp laughter, and the pavilion was full of laughter.

The arrival of the two attracted the attention of the women, stopped their movements and got up to salute, after all, Xue Ji is a wife, a large and small housewife, and there should be etiquette.

Yukihime waved them all to sit down, and then Yukihime said, "Gentleman and? The Mid-Autumn Festival does not come back, this year is still the same as usual, everyone gathers together to enjoy the moon, and has a lively festival. ”

"Langyu, you wait to inform Flame Spirit Ji and Li Ji, and Zhao Li will notify the startled salamander."

Zhao Li and Lang Yu nodded, and Xue Ji pulled Qing Ling to sit down and said, "The gentleman also said, after the war is over, take everyone out for a trip, and everyone should think about where to play." ”
