The Battle of Changping Chapter 025
Chapter 0025: The initial layout is about to cross Danshui, but the third route army surprises the Qin army again
With just two words, he easily forced back the words of everyone who wanted to redress the injustice.
This is the most important purpose of Lian Po's keeping of these two confidants: even General Lian Po's confidants were promoted and secretly demoted without saying anything, so what else can others say and dare to say anything?
Seeing that the generals were no longer silent, Zhao Kuo immediately nodded with satisfaction and began to issue orders according to the plan discussed at the old pass: "The order: First, the leader of the army, starting from now on, prepare enough dry food for the army.
(Fried millet and other items). Be sure to ensure that after crossing the river, each person will carry enough dry food for three days." Zhao Kuo ordered again.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, the food and grass go first. In history, a large part of the reason why the Zhao army was besieged to death was because the Daliang Mountain where the food and grass was stored was blocked by the Qin army.
Since they are following the Qin Army's intention, it is inevitable to cut off contact with Daliang Mountain. Since they already knew that they would fall into a food shortage, Zhao Kuo and others would not deliberately miss this point. They rushed to produce three days of dry food.
, is just a tiny part of the Yin Qin Army's plan.
Although this seems a bit strange to the generals, considering the difficulties of water transportation and land transportation, it is not an unacceptable order to prepare some dry food for personal use.
Immediately, the captain in charge of military supplies went out to take the order and responded: "Yes! The gang leader army will make three days of dry food as soon as possible."
"Second, Captain Chen Zhang." Zhao Kuo nodded and continued to speak.
"The end will be here." A lean and capable man immediately left work and responded.
"Although the Dan River is not fast, it is also very deep, which is not conducive to a large-scale attack by our army. You are hereby ordered to lead your headquarters of 3,000 troops to quickly cross the north bank of the Dan River along the east bank of the Dan River, avoid the Qin army's west bank barrier, and choose
Where the waterway is short, Danshui is intercepted to lower the water level of Danshui and create conditions for our army to cross the Danshui westward. After successfully intercepting the Danshui, the envoy will report." Zhao Kuo took out another token and handed it to the lean man and said
.
"Yes! Cut off the elixir to repay!" Chen Zhang briefly repeated the instructions.
"Third, the entire army is in urgent combat readiness. All vacations are cancelled. Those who have gone out are immediately recalled. The armor, spears, and spears have been repaired, and the war horses and supplies are fully prepared to launch an attack at any time."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice.
"I have spoken beforehand. Anyone who dares to leak military plans to outsiders will be killed!" Zhao Kuo said fiercely.
Although he knew that the Qin army on the opposite side had long expected that he would switch from defense to offense, he had to do enough to put on a show. After all, he had to rely on "surprise and attack when he was unprepared" to build the west bank barrier.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed again.
"As for the battle across the river!" Zhao Kuo paused for a moment, then continued: "Sun Gu! Xu Li! Li Jie! Where are the three generals?"
"The general is here!" The three of them immediately stepped out from the side.
"I ordered you and three other people to divide the north, middle, and south routes into three groups and launch an attack on the west bank barrier. The vanguard battle to attack the barrier will be led by Sun Gu, and assisted by two generals, Xu Li and Li Jie.
." Zhao Kuo took out another token and handed it to Sun Gu.
After Sun Gu received the token, the three of them answered in unison: "Yes!"
"After the barrier was breached, the army immediately approached.
The army on the northern route consisted of about 20,000 troops, mainly infantry, and was led by General Xu Li. After crossing Danshui, they immediately attacked and advanced towards the Bailishi Great Wall. Note: Go north first to get through the Bailishi Great Wall.
The defense line is connected, and then goes westward, towards the direction of the empty warehouse.
The main force in the central part was a mixture of cavalry and infantry, commanded by General Sun Gu. After crossing Danshui, the cavalry quickly attacked and advanced. On the premise of preserving themselves, they pursued and killed the Qin army as much as possible. The target was directly at Guanglang City, and the infantry followed.
The city of Light Wolf was besieged, and the cavalry moved to the siege for reinforcements!
The southern army, about 20,000 infantrymen, was led by General Li Jie. After crossing the Danshui River, it quickly turned to the south for defense to prevent the reinforcements from the Qin army from coming to Guanglang City. At the same time, it waited for the main army to break through Guanglang City and meet again.
Attack the boundary card leader and open the passage with Hanoi County."
"Yes!" The three of them agreed in unison again.
Looking at the three people present and receiving instructions, the generals would be lying if they said they were not envious, but everyone also understood that they could not replace any of them.
Let’s talk about the most inconspicuous Li Jie first. He was a veteran general second only to General Lian Po. General Lian Po was his assistant general at that time. Not to mention his seniority, Li Jie was from a famous family in the Daizhou border army.
I don't know how many people in the army have been his subordinates. The main battle in the south is already overqualified, and it is no problem to switch to the middle.
Using such a veteran general will undoubtedly give the army a reassurance, and no one will dare to provoke anything.
Let's talk about Sun Gu, he has a long history of being good at defense. Judging from the situation, he should be like Zhou Qi, one attack and one defense. This was the trump card that General Lian Po left for the general before he left. But I don't know why.
Zhou Qi, who was good at attacking, was transferred to Daliang Mountain, but Sun Gu, who was good at defending, stayed behind.
Of course, if you are a shrewd person, you can naturally think of the origins of the two people, and then think about who Zhao Kuo is? Ma Fujun's son is a famous general, and he is naturally closer to Sun Gu, who is also a general, and does not like to see the poor family.
Born in Zhou Qi. Even though Zhou Qi is better at attacking, he is more suitable for attacking barriers.
Everything seems so reasonable and logical!
In any case, since Zhou Qi was transferred to Daliang Mountain, the remaining Sun Gu must be reused out of respect for the old general and to stabilize the morale of the army.
The right choice of a pioneer is just right. It not only fully respects the meaning of the recommendation of the old General Lian Po, but also blocks the crowd - if you have the ability, you can recommend it to General Lian Po!
More importantly, if you lose, it will be due to the veteran general’s poor recommendation; if you win, it will be due to the admiral’s wise eyesight!
Wonderful!
In the end, Xu Li, a man who has been away from the battlefield for a long time, is the most undisputed candidate.
Without him, Xu Li was the only person brought by General Zhao Kuo. He also served under Ma Fujun and took the lead in the battle with him. He made many meritorious deeds and was admired by everyone for his bravery in force.
In eyes.
Obviously, as the representative of General Zhao Kuo's will, he must have a place in the battle of the fortress. And the arrangement of Changping Pass in the Northern Alliance is even more exquisite - if there is any disharmony, you can reach it directly through the mountains in the north
Changpingguan is undoubtedly an escape route prepared by the general for himself and his army.
At least, that's what the Lord present will think.
Similarly, the Qin army would also think so after seeing Zhao Kuo's arrangement!
And this is exactly what Zhao Kuo set up for the Qin army.
Chapter completed!
