Chapter 84: The Seventh Day

The unscrupulous soldiers fell down in time, dodging a rain of arrows. Meng Fu shouted again: "Get up! He jumped to his feet and lunged forward. Then he heard the sound of the bowstring pulling, and shouted, "Lie down! ”

A few ups and downs, killing the Zhao army in front of him, but instead of confronting the Zhao army head-on, he turned to the side. The flexible turn disrupted the formation of the Zhao army, and in the rain of arrows of the Qin army, many people fell, and the Zhao army on the flank was stabbed down several times because it was difficult to turn around.

Seeing this, the Zhao army immediately stopped the drumming, and the Zhao army retreated, avoiding the flank detour of Meng Fu. At the same time, the other archers in the camp shot at Meng Fu and the others to block them. Meng Fu could only retreat.

Because Meng Fu went too deep, he also paid a heavy price, and in the process of retreating, more than a dozen people were shot and injured, which was still quite embarrassing. This made Meng Fu even more admired the flexible command of the Duke Doctor he saw this morning.

Just when the two places were inseparable, the Qin army around Xiaoshanbao suddenly came out of the camp, and without waiting for the formation to be formed, they rushed to the back of the Zhao army under the east ridge with the queue of two columns. Seeing the attack from all directions, the 10,000 people of the Zhao army felt that it was difficult to deal with it, so they immediately ordered a retreat and fought with their backs to Zhao Bi. The Zhao army guarding the barrier also went up to the wall one after another, preparing for defense. Seeing that there was no gap, the two armies of the Qin army withdrew their troops. Zhao Jun did not chase either, opened the wall door, and entered the wall in turn. Zhao Jun's sortie thundered heavily and rained little. After all the 10,000 people guarding the granary entered the camp, Zhao Meng also collected his troops and returned to the camp. - His goal of containing the Qin army has been achieved.

The fiercest battle of the day took place in Danzhuling.

was attacked by Wang Ling at night, although Zhao Kuo did not blame, but 10,000 people will think that it is a great shame. That military camp was one of his camps, surrounded by his own military camp. The extremely angry 10,000 people concentrated four battalions and launched a three-sided attack on the military camp captured by the Qin army.

Wang Ling lives on the main peak of Danzhu Ridge, the terrain is the highest, and the Qin army has a topography advantage over the Zhao army. Wang Ling lives on the ridge, and you can clearly see the battle in the military camp in front.

The official doctor controlled a hundred archers in the center of the camp, and flexibly attacked all sides according to the formation of the Zhao army's advance. There are quick and slow, there are long shots, and there are flat shots. One hundred shield soldiers and one hundred halberd soldiers stood under the wall, and the other two hundred halberd spearmen were behind the camp gates on both sides, ready to go out and kill at any time.

Due to the good command of the officer, the archers were very effective in shooting. Urged by the drums, the Zhao army suffered heavy losses in the process of approaching the camp fence quickly; barely climbed the camp fence, but was also picked off by the soldiers on the wall. Subsequently, the door of the Qin army camp was opened, and two hundred halberd spearmen were killed, and the Zhao army, which was climbing the wall, was unable to resist and had to retreat.

Without waiting for the Qin army to catch its breath, the second formation of the Zhao army came over again. Then came the third formation, the fourth formation. Although the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties, it also consumed a lot of the physical strength of the Qin army. 10,000 people put in the new force, and finally rushed into the Qin camp and started a melee. 10,000 men would immediately throw other troops into battle, intending to oppress the Qin army out of the camp. The Qin army resisted desperately, and every inch of land was contested.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Ling ordered two battalions of Qin troops to attack the Zhao camp on the flank. The Zhao army of that battalion had been completely engaged in offensive operations, and there were only a few soldiers left in the battalion. Seeing the Qin army attacking, 10,000 people rushed to the surrounding Zhao army to rush to reinforcements and engage the Qin army head-on. After all, there were many Zhao troops, and after fierce battles, they finally repelled the attack of the Qin army and recaptured the camp gate lost last night. Almost all of the soldiers on both sides were wounded. Due to the large number of Zhao soldiers, there are naturally many wounded, and there are many arrow wounds that are difficult to treat.

The 10,000 people of the Zhao army reported to Zhao Kuo the battle report of the recapture of the camp gate, and at the same time reported that because there were too many wounded and could not continue the attack, they asked to hold the camp gate. Zhao Kuo left a living word, asking him to quickly rectify the army and attack the Qin army in Danzhuling.

The 10,000 generals on the Danshui front line, because the Qin army came to attack in Dongling, the troops guarding the warehouse failed to attack the Danshui Qin army, and he did not go to war as he wished.

The day's fighting was fought in a fierce manner, and all the objectives of the battle were not achieved. Zhao Kuo was even more worried in his heart. When the retainers brought him corn porridge, he said: "I have ordered the whole army to eat half, and I must not abolish my order." May they all be half eaten. ”

Bai Qi gathered Li Bing, Meng Fu, and Nanjun Lieutenant together at night to discuss the next step of the battle. The Qin army fought very smoothly, encountered almost no strong resistance, and had basically occupied all the key points on the periphery of the Zhao army, and the next step was to attack the most difficult southern barrier group.

The bulwark complex consisted of seven mutually supportive barracks and shooting towers. The archery tower is about ten zhang high, made of multiple sections of rough wood, in the center of the barracks, and the arrows from the top down, can bypass the protection of the shield and shoot at the enemy in the back row, and the enemy archers can hardly take it; It seems that there is only one way to attack it and overturn it.

The two sides of the fortress group are the granary in the east and the Danshui in the west, and the two wings have solid supports, so there is no need to worry about being outflanked.

The Danshui defense line is a complete defense line, starting from Danzhuling in the north and going down along the Danshui River. Due to the small area of operation, it was impossible to gather heavy troops, and it was difficult to attack. The granary is built on a mountain, surrounded by a city, the walls are strong, and the upper end of the granary can be garrisoned, which is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Nanjun Wei said: "In the past, the minister heard that there were Lu people who lost classes, and they were good at skillful skills, and they were the ones who made hooks and rejections for the Chu Water War, and attacked the city and built cloud ladders. All are French. There are good people in Nanjun, and they can go to Gaodu to build together. ”

Bai Qi asked, "But how long will it take?" ”

Nanjun Wei said: "If you say that the cloud ladder and other genera, it will be completed after more than a month." Now you can build a car, push it forward with a pawn, and the elite will be behind. The current period shall be ten days. ”

Bai Qi asked, "What is the method?" ”

Nanjun Wei said: "It grows up like a shield, weighs more than ten catties, and it is difficult to hold manpower." Loaded in the car, pushed forward, behind which can hide more than ten soldiers. Lieutenant Nanjun said as he drew a sketch.

Bai Qi said: "The craftsmen are all in Anyi, and if they have any needs, they can be taken from Hedong." You can gather all the Chu workers and go to Anyi together. Hedong Weiwan is good at planning, and if he gets his help, he will be able to succeed. He didn't dare to explain that King Qin saw that he was in Anyi, and only launched Pi Xuan.

Nanjun Lieutenant said: "The minister is going to Anyi, what are the soldiers of Nannan County?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I will take it myself, and I will not be ashamed!" ”

Li Bing said: "The grain mountain is an important land for Zhao, and the ministers are willing to attack it to cut off its grain." Even if you can't stop it, it can help. ”

Bai Qi said: "The mountains are rugged, and the use of troops is unfavorable. ”

Li Bing said: "It will be attacked, so that there will be no food." ”

Bai Qi said: "Its power and strength can force it to close its four doors and not get out." ”

Meng Fu said: "Many parties make mistakes, and with great force, they will be done." ”

Li Bing introduced his battle plan. Bai Qi said: "I wish to climb the mountain and watch it." ”

Meng Fu said: "It's dark, I'm afraid it's inconvenient." ”

Bai Qi said: "There is nothing left. ”

So Bai Qi took his entourage as an excuse to patrol the camp, made a detour to Dongling, and entered the Qin camp that was attacked today. Qin Ying and Zhao Ying are no more than a mile away, almost a charge can be reached, and the voice is loud, and the opposite side can also be heard. Being so close to the enemy is a fresh experience.

Today's sky is dark, and there is no moonlight. Fortunately, the Zhao camp is not far away, and the Zhao army has prepared more bonfires, and the general situation can still be seen clearly in the faint light. After observing the situation of the enemy army, Bai Qi inspected the six battalions on the mountain along the mountain road, and the Zhao army camp under the mountain was crowded with people. Bai shook his head and said, "Enough for the first ear!" ”

Li Bing said: "The ministers ordered people to attack him night and night, so that he could not be stable. ”

Bai Qi said: "Yes." Even if he doesn't attack at night, he can't do anything. ”

Meng Fu said: "But he has no way to attack me." ”

White nods. Suddenly asked, "What camp is the swordsman?" ”

Li Bing said: "The camp of the swordsman is behind the mountain. ”

Bai Qi took advantage of this effort to carefully inspect the defense of Shicheng and pointed out what could be improved. Then go down the mountain to meet the swordsman.

There are also 10,000 swordsmen in Stone City, which is a terrifying force. Bai Qi has a high prestige among the swordsmen, and the upper echelons basically know him. Bai Qi said to them: "All battalions are fighting, but you can live in peace, and you have no idleness!" ”

The public attendant who led the team said: "The Zhao army does not fight, but guards the wall!" What can I do? ”

Bai Qi said: "I heard that there are 100 people, and there is merit in the battle." There are 10,000 people today, and the wall is not broken! Thou shalt examine it. If you get it, the merit is not small. ”

Gong Cheng said: "Why fight? ”

Bai Qi said: "The grain of the Zhao army is all in Nanshan, how can you care?" ”

Gong Cheng said: "But there is a drive, I dare not resign." ”

Bai Qi said: "His strategy has been paid to the lieutenant of the north, and you can listen to the order." ”

Gong Cheng said: "My swordsmen are all under the orders of the king. Captain Beidi, the public doctor also. Why? ”

Bai Qi said: "The king is in Anyi, and Qing is in Changping." It is not the king's command to hear it. Destroy Zhao Yu as soon as possible, and return to the king's order. ”

Gong Cheng said: "With my swordsman ten thousand, everything is restrained, but why is it postponed for more than ten days without decision?" ”

Bai Qi said: "There are more than 400,000 troops in the army, and I still kill 10,000 people for more than 40 days, and the situation is war?" Be careful! There are 50,000 swordsmen, all of whom are the essence of the world, and once they feed the enemy, they are hopeless. Be careful! ”

Gong Cheng said: "Oh! ”

After Bai Qi inspected the swordsman's camp, he came to Li Bing's big tent in the valley with Li Bing and Meng Fu. - Actually, it's just a small hut, with wind on all sides. Bai Qi said: "Let the swordsmen harass Zhao Cangcheng and the rest." Thou art good at devised a siege strategy. But in ten days, everything will be done! ”

Meng Fu said: "The minister is willing to take the grain mountain first with the army in the north, which is fundamental." ”

Bai Qi said: "I watched the situation at night, but I didn't get a plan. In his words. ”

Meng Fu said: "Although the grain mountain is heavy, the land is not enough, and the soldiers are not thousands." If you have to cut off the reinforcements, you will break them. ”

Bai Qi said: "Why do you cut off their help? ”

Meng Fu said: "If you get 10,000 swordsmen, the reinforcements can be cut off." ”

Bai Qi said: "The swordsman is the essence of the world, and he must not feed the enemy lightly. It will also be sharp. ”

Meng Fu said: "The grain mountains are dangerous, and the casualties of the attack will be great." The reinforcements have no fighting spirit, and if they are slightly sharpened, they will cower. It was the army of the north that attacked its city, and the swordsmen were its aid. ”
