"Divide and disintegrate, lure the enemy deep, divide and annihilate!"
"It makes some sense. This phrase appears many times in the internal handouts of the National Protectorate Academy. It seems that General Xin Sheng has gained a lot. That's it, let me explain the tactics in detail."
"We'll weigh it up."
General Wang Jian murmured, but there was still no judgment. However, the twelve words were somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he found their origin.
Protect the Nation Academy!
Only the internal lectures of the strategy courses and tactics courses of the National Defense Academy contain those words about military warfare. However, those internal lectures are only for military generals to read, unless they are at the level of chief general or above.
On the other hand, the level of reading within the academy is not high. Every few months, relevant course notes from the National Protectorate Academy are sent to me. I benefit a lot from reading them.
Maybe there are some views that he doesn't agree with, but the way of military warfare is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, Wang Jian feels that the things in the National Protectorate Academy are still acceptable.
"Here, General."
When Xin Sheng heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn. He bowed his hands in a bow, looked at the sand table in front of him, put one hand directly into the sand table, pointed at it, and kept talking.
"The key to this battle is that as long as one of our troops goes ahead and feints to attack where the crippled Zhao is, then... the three armies divided by the Yan State will definitely move. At this time, we spread rumors and alienate Yan and Zhao. This is a feud that has lasted for hundreds of years.
, it’s not that easy to solve.”
"At this moment, Zhao Ping will definitely lead his troops south to look for us to fight in order to protect the remnant Zhao. In this way, our army does not need to advance, but waits quietly at Yishui and Laishui, and then we can fight with it."
His arms kept moving on the sand table, and his mood was quite high-spirited.
"What do the generals think?"
Wang Jian smiled slightly and looked at everyone in the shogunate.
"wonderful!"
"good!"
"..."
Immediately, clear and loud voices echoed in the shogunate, and they looked at each other. Xin Sheng's strategy is very good. He has plenty of time to work, and he can annihilate all the enemies who will invade in the future.
"That being the case, who wants to be the master of feint attack?"
Now that the generals think this strategy is appropriate, it is time to go a step further and immediately enter into in-depth deployment.
However, after Wang Jian's words came out, the entire shogunate fell into a brief silence.
They looked at each other, but no general could take the lead. This was a tradition of the Qin army. After the Qin army gained meritorious service, the generals were more willing to kill the enemy head-on on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds.
Few people are willing to invite themselves to conduct a long-distance feint attack without the general's orders, especially the Qin army who counts beheadings as merit.
"The last general is willing to lead his troops as a feint attack force!"
After a few breaths, Silver Armor General Li Xin stepped forward to take on this important task.
"The general is also willing to lead men and horses as a feint attack force!"
When Xin Sheng heard this, he also smiled and bowed with his hands and fists.
Such a fight surprised the generals in the shogunate. Both Li Xin and Xin Sheng were very bright young men in the Qin army.
Logically speaking, one should be vigorously moving forward and making greater achievements, but this is still the case now.
"Li Xinbu, let's go."
"Tomorrow, we will set off immediately at 10 o'clock, and advance with great fanfare to where the remaining Zhao is. When Yan and other three armies move south, Li Xindang will return immediately and attack behind."
"The remaining generals will each lead their own troops and prepare for war with all their strength, build barriers, and wait for the battle."
Wang Jian glanced at Li Xin and Li Xin, turned around, pulled out a command arrow from the wooden case on the side and handed it to Li Xin. This time when the army marched eastward, Li Xin had already achieved considerable success in destroying Zhao.
meritorious deeds.
However, Xin Sheng was far behind. Sure enough, he could balance one and two this time, and the rest of the army would be stable and stable, which would be more beneficial. Seeing Li Xin happily accept the order, he immediately ordered it.
"Here!"
Within the shogunate, all the generals stood up and immediately entered into the detailed deployment and deployment of the war.
Early next morning.
Li Xin led 30,000 cavalry to dispatch with great fanfare from the valley area on the east bank of Yishui River. According to the general's careful plan, he first advanced from the upper reaches of Laishui River.
If the coalition forces of Yan and Zhao did not go south, they would cross the Laishui River and storm the territory of Can Zhao, forcing the Yan and Zhao coalition forces to make a choice. As expected, they were still unmoved. In less than ten days, Can Zhao would be truly destroyed.
Of course, that possibility is not great. Instead, Li Xin raised the flag and the news spread that one hundred thousand cavalry were attacking the land of Zhan Zhao. At that time, the entire sky over the Yan Kingdom was completely filled with the aura of iron blood.
The war begins!
******
"Your Highness, Qin General Li Xin led an army of more than 100,000 to attack the Kingdom of Zhao in Daidi."
"In this case, I'm afraid the tactics we established earlier will be useless."
However, in just two or three days, the situation on the entire battlefield changed. Originally, all parties in the Yan State thought that they could lead the Qin army across Laishui, and then besieged and killed them.
But now things have changed. Li Xin directly led an army of more than 100,000 to prepare to attack Zhao. They dispersed directly with the strategy of waiting for work.
In the shogunate's military tent, Lu Zhenlang, Yan Dan and other core generals gathered to discuss the next countermeasures.
"What's more, there are rumors in the army that Yan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely exhaust Zhao. Therefore, Zhao's 100,000 elite troops are divided into three groups."
"Then, on the battlefield, let them be the vanguard and risk their lives. In this way, it can not only relieve the pressure on the Yan Kingdom, but also resolve the hundreds of years of feud between Yan and Zhao."
Gao Jianli, dressed in white, held a long sword and looked at Yan Dan with a solemn expression. This was the news brought by the Mohist disciples from the front, if only it was just that.
The news spread to the army, and at this moment the army seemed to be in chaos.
The lack of Zhao's 100,000 elite troops is no less than breaking an arm for the coalition forces.
"What do you think will happen next?"
Yan Dan frowned, as bad news came one after another in his ears, and all that had happened. What he wanted to know was what good countermeasures would be taken next.
"I thought it was time to figure out the true intentions of the Qin army."
"Under the leadership of Li Xin, the Qin State's army of more than 100,000 troops rushed to attack the Zhao State in Daidi. Although it goes against our previously established strategy, it may not be the Qin Army's true intention."
"First wipe out the remnant Zhao, and the coalition forces will be weak, and then attack in depth. Qin's iron-blooded army does not have 100,000 Zhao troops, and Yan's current strength of about 300,000 troops is worrying."
Wrapped in black, he stood in front of the sand table with a pillow on the road, pointing his finger, and the flags representing the coalition forces moved on the sand table one after another, quickly deducing the debate.
Yu Yandan also responded quickly to questions.
The rest of the people in the military tent watched quietly. It was difficult for them to interfere in military and political matters.
"Report!"
"The Pingyuan Lord of the State of Zhao has sent an envoy!"
Inside the military tent, they were eagerly discussing the follow-up strategy. Another loud voice came from outside the tent.
"pass!"
Yan Dan felt a little irritable and gave the order directly.
"Where is Mr. Pingyuan?"
After a few breaths, looking at the middle-aged military commander in the military tent, Yan Dan took a step closer and asked quickly, his mood becoming more and more unstable.
"What do you mean, Prince?"
"Qin General Li Xin led an army of more than 100,000 to attack the State of Zhao. Naturally Lord Pingyuan would lead the Zhao army back to provide support."
"Now, the troops and horses have been reorganized, and I have a special order to report."
The envoy was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked at Prince Dan of the Yan State in front of him, bowed his hands and saluted, and told the whereabouts of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ping, and also told Zhao Jun's decision.
"This...is Lord Pingyuan's response?"
Yan Dan's frowning brows were filled with a trace of sadness.
"I may have a way to save the situation!"
At that moment, Lu Zhenlang stopped moving his hands, and there was a hint of soothing in his words. He came forward and bowed, looking at Prince Dan and the envoy from the Zhao Kingdom.
"What method?"
"What method?"
The Zhao State envoy and Yan Dan all looked at Lu Zhenlang. Sure enough, they had a good plan, so it was better.
"I think we can follow the example of Guigu Sun Bin who besieged Wei and rescued Zhao a hundred years ago. The Qin army Li Xin attacked Zhao. We led three armies and went south to attack the Qin army directly."
"Without Li Xin's more than 100,000 troops, Wang Jian is weak. We and our nearly 400,000 troops should be able to surround Wang Jian's troops in one fell swoop and even annihilate them."
"Moreover, it is certain that as long as our army goes south, Li Xin will definitely return with his troops. Otherwise, all the elite soldiers from Qin State will be destroyed, and Li Xin will not escape death."
"In this way, it is still the battle between me and the Qin State, but the battlefield has been changed, and the result is not different."
After all kinds of deductions, Lu Zhenlang quickly spoke out a good plan that came to his mind, and his words were a bit joyful. As expected, there was a high possibility that Wang Jian's men would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
And there is no need for Li Xin to panic, he...can't bear the subsequent pressure yet.
As he finished speaking, Lu Zhenlang looked at His Highness Prince Dan and the Zhao State envoy with sharp eyes. Since he was a military commander, he must have understood the important matters on the battlefield.
"This policy...will not put the people of our Zhao Kingdom into danger?"
The army commander sent by Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ping heard this, pondered for a few breaths, and then responded. Although this strategy was good,...it was Zhao State, not Yan State, who was in crisis.
Sure enough, if the Qin army Li Xin doesn't return, what should we do?
At that time, Yan State had no losses, but Zhao State suffered too much.
What's more, wouldn't it coincide with the rumors in the army that the Yan State wanted to take this opportunity to fully understand the hundreds of years of feud between Yan and Zhao, and that the people of the Zhao State no longer exist, and this is exactly what happened.
