Chapter 509 Situation
As the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, Su Yi was unwilling to kill envoys and discredit the Qin state.
After Lu Cong left, a group of generals also walked in curiously.
"Su Shuai..." Lian Xiao was the first to ask tentatively.
"What else can happen? Envoy Wu is here just to persuade him to surrender with huge profits." Su Yi understood what everyone meant.
"I knew An An had bad intentions, and this is the only trick Wu Guo has done."
"It's better not to take it lightly and concentrate on dealing with the coming war."
"Then does Su Shuai have a strategy for the next step in using troops?"
"Soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and soil will cover it." Su Yi said ambiguously.
On the Ningyang side, it is impossible for the Wu army to break through without increasing its troops.
But if we want to increase the number of troops, Wu's military mobilization will be too large.
The news was sent back to Wudu. Seeing that Su Yi could not be bribed by the heavy profits, the King of Wu consulted with his ministers and sent envoys again to the Chu State in an attempt to get the King of Chu to send more troops to the front line and put enough military pressure on Shanyuguan to force Su Yi.
Divide the troops.
But now, the King of Chu, under pressure from the Xuan army, has the supreme general in charge of Xiangnan County and cannot defeat Yan Qi, the commander-in-chief of Xuan Dynasty. He has plans to transfer Hanzhou back, so he has no spare energy to attack Shanyu Pass.
During this time of chaos among the various countries, King Xuan could be said to have been a great help to Qin's current predicament.
On the other side, the northern battlefield.
Qin general Nie Xing crossed Longshan Mountain and used surprise troops and lightning to attack Youzhou's side and rear, causing the entire Liang army's front to take a sudden turn for the worse.
Because Xue Wu deployed key points of defense on the frontal battlefield, he never expected that Xiao Yuan would come to attack him. Therefore, Nie Xing fought the battle relatively easily. He captured a city at a very small cost, which was temporary.
A place to stand.
This city is located in the upper right corner of Youzhou. It is still under the rule of Youzhou. It is not an important transportation route. However, if the Qin army occupies it, it can coordinate with the main force to attack Youzhou. On the other hand, it can ignore Youzhou and directly attack Youzhou.
Approaching from the direction of Liangdu.
Because it is behind the Xue Wu defense line.
You can imagine how piercing this nail is.
Similarly, Nie Xing is facing many difficulties now. The biggest problem is that supplies and the food and grass for the main force cannot be transported. He needs to find a way for these by himself. This strange army is more of a lone army.
After capturing the city, the first thing he did was to occupy the treasury and granary.
But this place belongs to the front line of Youzhou. The food and grass in the previous city had been allocated by Xue Wu for a long time due to the war.
There are many soldiers in the county government, so naturally this place has been occupied by Nie Xing.
In the Qin State, most of the mid-level generals were from Beiling, because before Xiao Yuan was the governor and fought against Xirong, before the founding of the country, there were many fierce men in that period, and this Nie Xing was no exception.
He was promoted from the early batch of young generals. He was in his thirties, with a short beard and an unkempt beard. He had a resolute appearance and exuded the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier all over his body.
In the hall, there were also several generals gathered.
Someone said worriedly: "Now, although our unit has succeeded in the surprise attack, the follow-up supply problem has never been solved. The city's food and grass can only be used for a few days. What should we do?"
Another person said: "In addition, the king's order has not arrived yet, so we don't know how our army's next military action will be carried out."
In fact, at this time, it is necessary to examine the personal abilities of the generals.
If Xiao Yuan's Wang Ling has not arrived, then they have been waiting here? Waiting to die? And even if Wang Ling arrives, Xiao Yuan probably doesn't know much about the situation here, and he might give some wrong information.
instruct.
You know, Nie Xing had 50,000 soldiers under his command, and he had absolute military command authority.
A general must act independently, otherwise he cannot be a general.
After thinking about it, Nie Xing said decisively: "In my opinion, we will quickly march towards Liangdu. This is not a place where we can stay for a long time. We will try to capture the next city before we run out of food and grass."
When the generals heard this, they all looked at each other, and then someone said: "But general, we still don't know the king's specific strategic plan, whether we are ready to let our troops coordinate the main force to attack Youzhou."
"We can't wait for this now." Nie Xing said: "After the king issued the surprise attack order, the order he gave me was to act at the right time. This means that we need to make our own decisions based on the current situation."
After saying that, he added: "If my commander stops here, after a few days, the food and grass will be exhausted, and there is only one way to die. And the people here are so poor that even if they search, they will not be able to find a few buckets of rice. So,
If that's the case, why not set your sights on the next city, there must be some granaries there."
"And if our army marches straight in and approaches Liangdu, the main force of the Liang army will be greatly frightened and will have to return for rescue. In this way, we have created an excellent opportunity for the main force!"
His idea was to attack Liangdu while getting some food along the way. After capturing the city, he would not stop or leave any soldiers to garrison. After taking the granary, he would continue to advance towards Liangdu.
From the current point of view, this approach is undoubtedly the wisest!
Because of his thorn, Xue Wu had to pull it out. If he didn't leave, he would be surrounded.
More importantly, in response to the Qin Army's war, the Liang Kingdom had mobilized all its troops. There were no regular troops behind the defense line at all!
If he wants to attack Liangdu, with the 50,000 Qin troops in his hands, his momentum can be described as overwhelming.
After making the decision, he did what he said and immediately began to rectify the army. At the same time, he ordered the Snow Clan intelligence personnel to send a letter to Xiao Yuan, informing his troops of the next actions.
At the same time, Sun Qi, Commander-in-Chief Huan, commanded an army of 200,000, and a war broke out with the Liang army in the eastern border of the Liang Kingdom.
Fortunately, Xue Wu had left a hundred thousand troops there when he left, otherwise the Huan army would have invaded in full force.
But even so, the Liang generals who stayed in the east were no match for Sun Qi, and their troops were at a disadvantage. After several battles, they were beaten and retreated.
The situation in Liang Kingdom changed drastically again with the participation of Huan Army in the war.
Judging from the entire battle situation, the main force of the Liang army lost about 150,000 people after the decisive battle between Ping and Tianjin, with 350,000 left.
The Qin army numbered 300,000, and later incorporated the Montenegro army, and now the total number is 240,000.
At this time, the main pressure on the Liang Army is still on the side of the Qin Army. Regarding the issue of the eastern border, it is impossible to divide the troops to support it, because Youzhou is too important!
But as the war continues, there is no doubt that before long, the 100,000 Liang troops in the east will be slowly eaten by Sun Qi.
Under such circumstances, after receiving the battle reports from all parties, the Liang Kingdom's court immediately exploded. For a while, all the ministers were a little panicked.
I thought that Cai Yan's strategy of weakening Qin would force the Qin army to return due to Wu Chu's participation in the war, but the determination of King Qin to attack Liang was something no one expected.
Chapter completed!
