The Battle of Changping Chapter 177: Qin and Wei prepare for the battle against Zhao Junrun

That's right, Zhao Kuo is ready to moisturize.

Just when the spies reported that the Qin army in the north, about 20,000 men, suddenly moved eastward, and the Qin army in the west, about 10,000 men, suddenly moved south.

If it is not moisturized at this time, it will really not be moisturized!

Even if you think with your heels, you know what the Qin army in the north suddenly turns to the east and the Qin army in the west suddenly turns to the south are going to do.

What are you going for? What can you do? Naturally, they are to besiege the Wei army. However, there is only one possibility for the Qin army, which has been dormant for a night, to make such a sudden move - the army in the barrier and Guanglang City, Jiepailing has already arrived, or

They are about to arrive at the rear of the Wei army.

Then the question becomes, should the Wei army and our Zhao army attack the Qin army first, or should the Wei army or our Zhao army be unable to withstand the pressure and be defeated by the Qin army?

The answer to this question seems self-evident.

Let’s talk about his own side first. Although the nail position is still there, his own strength has shrunk. The 20,000 troops that went out to Light Wolf City, all the positions, the light and serious wounded were added together, Zhao Kuo couldn’t even gather 60,000 soldiers who could fight.

The army, and almost all of them were wounded and exhausted.

With such a shortage of troops, such a dangerous combat power, and facing the siege from all sides by the Qin Army's hundreds of thousands of troops, it is a miracle that it can persist until now. As for how long it can persist, Zhao Kuo really doesn't know. Even if it weren't for the timely attack of the Wei Army yesterday

When he arrived, the Qin army might have appeared outside the gate of his camp.

Talking about the Wei army. Although Zhao Kuo did not know the characteristics of the Wei army's strength and weakness, judging from the previous battles, whether it was the Battle of Yique or the Battle of Huayang, it was clearly demonstrated that the same strength of troops

The Wei army saw that the Qin army had almost no strength to fight.

After a little calculation of the Qin army's strength, it is not difficult to find that Bai Qi mobilized almost hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to attack the Wei army. So how many troops did the Wei army have? Zhao Kuo had calculated it before Lian Po set off.

One hundred thousand is the bottom line, but one hundred and fifty thousand may be the limit of our Wei army.

In this way, once the Qin army arrives, the Wei army's defeat is almost inevitable.

Then, the only question next is how many more Qin troops the Wei army can kill and how long it can hold out!

Zhao Kuo picked up his fingers and slowly calculated the score. From the beginning of the war, he was better at the front and worse at the back, but he finally used the lives of more than 200,000 Zhao troops under his command to defeat the Qin army of more than 200,000 troops.

The battle damage ratio is almost one to one;

In yesterday's battle, the Wei army raided the Qin army, and their own side also launched a counterattack against the Qin army. The effect was pretty good. Coupled with the fierce battle all night, the Qin army's losses were probably tens of thousands.

In today's battle, with Lian Po here, no matter how weak the Wei army is, they should be able to tear a piece of flesh and blood from the Qin army. Not too many, thirty to fifty thousand is enough.

In this case, the total number of Qin troops in Shangdang will probably not exceed 150,000, and his own troops in the periphery alone will be nearly 120,000

Even if the troops and horses that broke out from the encirclement are unable to enter the battle for the time being, there are 120,000 troops outside occupying a favorable location, and the Qin army is in critical combat strength, lacking food and weapons, and coupled with the reduced morale caused by the loss of food and grass, just relying on

It's not too difficult to break out of the siege with an army of 150,000!

In other words, the purpose of the Zhao army's current defense - to stabilize the Wei army - has disappeared as the Qin army launched an encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Wei army. Although if the Zhao army had stayed and continued to cooperate with the Wei army, it would have been possible to eliminate more Qin armies, but

All this was no longer necessary after the peripheral armies arrived.

Even the existence of Zhao Kuo has become the only comeback point for the Qin army.

Therefore, taking advantage of the great battle between Qin and Wei, what Zhao Kuo had to do was to quickly moisten it.

It must be moisturized, but it cannot go to Africa! Where it is moistened and where it is moistened are particularly critical and important.

"Command: The entire army shrinks and heads north!" Zhao Kuo put on his armor with the help of his own soldiers and ordered to Sun Gu next to him.

To the north! That’s right, to the north, only to the north!

To the east and south, although there was a counterattack by the Wei army, Zhao Kuo did not think that the remaining troops and horses he had could break through the Qin army's line, otherwise he would not have to defend himself. What's more, even if he was lucky enough to penetrate the Qin army's line, Zhao Kuo

The Qin army joined the Wei army, and there was also the Qin army on the outside. Zhao Kuo didn’t think that the allied forces would join forces.

After that, the combat power of one plus one is greater than two. There is a high probability that the trip will be delayed due to disagreements, and eventually the Qin army will defeat them one by one.

The east and south are dispatched first, so how to choose between the west and the north?

In terms of distance, it is obviously the closest to heading west towards Guanglang City, and there are only 20,000 elite soldiers in Guanglang City. Although Zhao Kuo's 60,000-strong army is broken, it can still fight if repaired. And in Guanglang City, there are only 20,000 elite soldiers in Guanglang City.

By hoarding the Qin army's weapons, food and grass, the Zhao army could get enough replenishment as soon as possible.

But precisely because of the importance of Light Wolf City, Zhao Kuo had to give up the idea of ​​breaking out from this side.

Knowing that the Guanglang City behind him is an empty city, and still hoarding his own food and grass, Bai Qi can still let you break through? Don't even think about it, even if all the troops are exhausted, or even the army is transferred back to the south, he still has to stop it.

You go to Light Wolf City!

So, only the north side was left.

By coincidence, the northern side, which originally had the strongest military strength, was reduced to only 20,000 troops after being mobilized again and again, making it the side with the smallest strength among the four sides.

This cannot be blamed on Bai Qi's negligence. It is really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. If you want to surround the Zhao army and avoid being "encircled for reinforcements" by the Zhao army, you must try to average the fighting power on all four sides so that the Zhao army has nowhere to attack; and

With the arrival of the Wei army, Bai Qi had to concentrate his main force to the southeast where the Wei army was.

As mentioned above, Bai Qi had to guard against the Light Wolf City behind him. Therefore, he retained more than 10,000 troops in the west. It was only an extra 10,000 troops. The Qin army was stretched thin.

It can be seen that the sequelae of fighting with Zhao Jun to defeat hundreds of thousands of troops are slowly revealed.

Of course, Bai Qi would not be without measures to encircle and suppress the Wei army over there, and to break through the possible encirclement of the Zhao army here. However, lacking the strength, the only thing he could do was to order his troops to attack, and completely

The enemy and the Zhao army fought fiercely together, not giving the Zhao army a chance to gather and break out.

The reason why Zhao Wei was able to take advantage of the loophole last night was because the Qin army contracted its defense line and the entire army was reorganized. Once the Qin army deployed, it would obviously be impossible for the Zhao army to hide the enemy.

However, the Qin army in the north was still too small after all, and with the current battle situation, it seemed that Zhao Kuo no longer needed to use the dangerous trick of concealing the enemy.

If you can’t hide it, then you shouldn’t hide it!
