"Do you really think that with a mere 150,000 troops, you can ignore the people of Zhao State?"
In the city of Yi'an, most of the people in this city have left a few days ago. Most of the people who are left behind are the laborers who have been recruited and the people who may be needed to defend the city in the future.
With no choice but to retreat from Taixing Pass, Baixing Pass has become the breakthrough point. The hundred thousand troops of the Handan Camp alone may not be able to stop the highly mobile cavalry, and the Qin Army's attack on Jingxing Pass was beyond their expectations.
.
In the original plan, even if the Qin army could break through Jingxingkou, it would have to cost a huge price. But that night, with the help of the fierce fire oil, the city wall collapsed. Who could have imagined that the fierce fire oil could have such power.
Since the war, soldiers have been lost one after another for many days. Jingxingkou and Baixingkou have lost more than 20,000 people. Now they still have less than 100,000 troops in hand. Zhao Cong leads an army of 50,000 to garrison in Yuanshi City.
It is about a hundred miles away from Yi'an.
In this way, the combined army of Zhao State will be 150,000!
As for the Qin army, Zhenjun Daowu broke through Baixingkou without spending a lot of money. Now in terms of military strength, the two sides are almost the same, and the other side has 60,000 cavalry, crisscrossing the plains, and their chances of winning are even greater.
In the hall of the city lord's palace, a general shouted angrily, the more than 100,000 Qin troops had already breached Jingxingkou and massacred Xingcheng, what else do they want?
Are you really planning to annihilate them all?
That was a delusion. They crossed the Eighth Route of Taihang. The front was very long and it was absolutely impossible to fight for a long time. However, Zhao State was their hinterland and they had an unparalleled advantage.
What's more, Li Mu's 100,000 elite border troops can go south at any time and surround the Qin army, making their army of more than 100,000 unable to leave Zhao. Now, they are trapped in the city, watching the Qin army looming in front of them, and their hearts are filled with anger.
Medium burning endless.
"The situation is like this, can the generals have a strategy to retreat?"
He was sitting on his knees at the head of the hall. On the table in front of him, there was a map that was very different from the one at Taixing Bakou. It was a map of the entire Zhao Kingdom. It was extremely detailed. With the anger of his generals, how could he not be the one?
anger.
But anger alone cannot solve any problem. If anger can solve the problem of Qin, then Qin has completely disappeared decades ago, and Zhao will not tolerate such humiliation.
"The general has a plan. Not only can he retreat, but he can also completely keep Qin General Meng Wu and his party in Zhao State, making Zhao State their burial place."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rugged military general with a beard on his face stepped forward, bowed his hands and bowed solemnly. He was wearing red heavy armor and had a slight trace of sweat on his forehead, which was how it was in the hot midsummer.
"Oh, tell me?"
As soon as he said this, the other generals in the hall looked over. They knew this person. He was the same clan Hu Zha who led the army of Zhao State in the past few years.
When the Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal, the Zhao State originally wanted to take advantage of the Qin State's chaos to attack Han Valley and recapture the land of Shangdang. Unfortunately, it was defeated by the troops led by Wang Jian and others, and Hu Zhou was also killed.
"The final general thought that although the Qin army controlled the eight mouths of Taixing and had 150,000 troops entering the Zhao Kingdom, it was actually a place of death."
"One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers require at least 300,000 follow-up civilian forces. When they are beyond the eight mouths of Taihang, Shangdang is enough to satisfy them. But within Zhao State, is it possible that the 300,000 civilian forces still need to follow them?"
"Therefore, with the food and grass they carry, it is impossible for them to stay in the Zhao Kingdom for too long, at most three to five days. If they continue, the food and grass problem will be enough to overwhelm them without our help."
Hu Zha's loud voice echoed in the hall. The soldiers were fighting not only the frontline soldiers, but also the logistics supplies, the length of the battle line, and the topography. Those Qin people didn't know whether to live or die, and they didn't even bring the logistics and civilian power, so they dared to cross Zhao State.
The hinterland of the country.
It really made all Zhao people feel angry!
Facing them now, all they have to do is avoid fighting and wait for three to five days before they retreat on their own. If they really don't retreat, then their advantage as Zhao people will become greater and greater.
"What General Hu said is reasonable. General Hu, I think this strategy is feasible."
"You only need to avoid the Qin army's sharp edges and wait for a few days to achieve a great victory."
The rest of the generals present were not stupid. They immediately understood the meaning and looked at each other. But it was the same reason. According to the news from the scouts, the Qin State's more than 100,000 troops crossed the Eighth Gate of Taixing, and the thirty men behind them
Wan Minli did not show up.
This shows that Qin will not stop in Zhao.
"This strategy is feasible, but... do you think Meng Wu and Wang Jian would ignore such an obvious problem?"
Lian Po, who had a white beard and hair, nodded lightly. This was what he had considered before. In the battle between eight people in Taixing, both sides basically suffered no losses. As for the massacre of Xingcheng, the people there had already left, leaving the city empty.
However, this time the Qin State launched troops against the Zhao State, such a victory obviously could not give the King of Qin victory in politics. He had to kill more Zhao people, or plunder more land and property first.
The problems that Hu Zha could think of have already been thought of by himself, and the Qin State General Meng Wu should also have thought of them. Then, if nothing unexpected happens, the Qin Army will not stay in the Zhao State for a long time, but the more this is the case, the more the Qin Army feels
Join forces and make surprising moves.

"This time, a total of nearly 150,000 troops crossed the eight gates of Taixing in the country. The entire army did not bring 300,000 logistical personnel and only had five days of rations. Therefore, in the next five days, sufficient results must be obtained."
"After five days, no matter what the situation is, you must leave Zhao State in case the situation changes."
In the hilly and dangerous area fifty miles outside Yi'an City, more than 100,000 troops were stationed in separate camps. Generals wearing various armors gathered at the shogunate of the Chinese army. General Meng Wu stood in front of a newly made sand table.
On the sand table, the outline of the area with a radius of thousands of miles centered on Yi'an is all clear, and the area close to the city of Yi'an is even more clear. As for the city of Yuanshi, it is also ordinary. The troops are facing each other, and the two sides do not distinguish between you and me.
Holding a sword in one hand, he kept moving on the sand table. General Meng Wu said about the situation facing the Qin army now. After the Battle of Changping, the reason was that nearly a million people were not far apart, and the main force of Zhao collapsed. Only Bai Qi, Lord Wuan, dared to
He led his army to surround Handan.
But now, the main force of the Zhao State has not been lost, the civilian power is cut off from the great rivers, and it is already a dangerous move for more than 100,000 troops to enter the Zhao State alone. Therefore, they cannot stay for a long time, and they have to leave even if they cannot achieve sufficient results.
The expression was a little solemn, and they only had five days left!
"If we can break through the city of Yi'an with this, then with the strength of the Qin army, we should not be afraid of the Zhao soldiers."
"In the battle of Jingxingkou, the concentration of fierce fire and oil in one place can produce a powerful force that is enough to destroy Guancheng. So, it may not be impossible to give it a try now. As long as the city of Yi'an can be broken open, and our army is at its peak."
"It's enough to win!"
Wang Jian, who was wearing heavy black armor, took a step forward, bowed his hands, and then looked at Zhou Qing. It was Wu Zhenjun's plan to break through the gate city with the power of fierce fire oil at Jingxingkou.
Nowadays, it may not be possible to re-exercise such destructive power. When I saw it back then, there was literally no one alive within a radius of ten feet.
"The fierce fire oil at Jingxingkou is almost used up, but there is still a lot of fierce fire oil gathered in the other seven mouths. If there is no accident, the defense of Yi'an City cannot withstand the same amount of fierce fire oil."
"Wu Zhenjun, if the king hadn't sent you here to fight this battle, it would have been very difficult for us."
Relying on the power of fierce fire oil, they recreated the power of breaking through the Jingxingkou Pass on that day, blasted open the Yi'an city, defeated the Zhao army with the martial arts of the old Qin people, and further expanded the results of the battle.
What Wang Jian said was exactly what General Meng Wu thought. In addition, if he wanted to capture Yi'an in five days in front of Lian Po, who was good at defense, he would have to fight to the death at any cost.
If that were to happen, both sides would probably perish together. In fact, even if all the Zhao troops were killed, what would be the use? Using the power of the fierce fire oil, Meng Wu saluted Zhou Qing again.
It is true that the fierce fire oil has been used on rockets for so many years, but I did not expect that the fierce fire oil gathered in one place would have such power. Since it has such power, it will be of great use when the Japanese troops leave Hangu.
.
Unfortunately, Fierce Fire Oil is not a specialty of the Qin State. It is also available in the Yan State. By breaking through the Jingxingkou Pass, Zhao soldiers may have peeked into the power of Fierce Fire Oil. In this case, it is even more important to quickly use the power of Fierce Fire Oil for the second time.
Otherwise, it would be a disaster for the Qin army if the State of Zhao also obtained fire oil from other sources.
"Everything is put to its best use. It is not my fault, it is the power of fierce fire and oil."
"With Lian Po's level of leadership, he should be strengthening the city of Yi'an, and even introducing water from the Yuan River to protect the city. Xuan Qing thought that he should send troops immediately and not give Lian Po a chance to rectify the city of Yi'an."
For any famous general, it is almost impossible to make a second mistake in the same place. Lian Po has used his decades of experience in leading troops to explain this. The soldiers are very fast. They only have five days and cannot wait.
Zhou Qing said deeply as he cupped his fists and saluted.
"Yes, what Wu Zhenjun said is true. Now we have entered the Zhao Kingdom for one day."
"Now is the time of Xu. General Wang Jian thinks that we should reorganize the army immediately. Tomorrow at Yin time, we should start cooking, let the soldiers eat and drink well, and at Mao time send troops to attack Yi'an. If everything goes well, this battle will be the place where Lian Po died.
!”
Wang Jianshen agreed. The power of fierce fire oil is indeed miraculous, but it cannot give Lian Po much time to prepare. If Lian Po is really allowed to strengthen the city, even fierce fire oil cannot destroy it. It will be difficult to achieve anything in the remaining four days.
.
As soon as the words fell, all the generals in the shogunate of the Central Army nodded, and then, their gazes automatically gathered and fell on General Meng Wu.
"Can!"
"In accordance with the wishes of General Wang Jian and Lord Wu Zhen, the army will be reorganized and ready to go immediately. We will open fire at Yin Shi tomorrow and go out to fight at Mao Shi. We will strive to succeed in the first battle, capture Yi'an, and destroy 100,000 Zhao troops!"
Glancing over, Meng Wu also nodded deeply as he met the gazes of the generals in front of him. The fighter plane could not be delayed. If it was delayed, there would be variables. We must take advantage of the strong military momentum to complete the victory in one battle.
"Here!"
In the shogunate's military tent, the generals received the order and looked high-spirited. Seeing the general pointing his sword at the city of Yi'an on the sand table, his heart was filled with excitement. Tomorrow's battle will make those Zhao people taste the majesty of the old Qin people.
