"General, now that the reinforcements have arrived, it's time for our army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
Li Xin stood in the camp, his voice like a blazing fire, burning in the cold land of Yanzhao.
"Ahem."
Wang Jian, who was sitting at the top, covered his mouth and coughed twice, then picked up the silk on the side and wiped his nose.
He had suffered a little bit of wind and cold in the past two days. Even if someone lit a campfire in the tent, he could still feel the slightest bit of coldness entering his body.
It's not cold when it snows, it's cold when it melts.
Winter is coming to an end, but the weather is colder than usual, which is really unbearable.
Seeing that Wang Jian was silent, Li Xin couldn't help but said: "General, if you don't seize the opportunity, wait until the Yan people's Liaodong Army and Zhao Jia's Dai Army arrive, join forces and defend Wuyang. We want to destroy
If you lose the Yan Kingdom, it will be even more difficult."
Young people.
Wang Jian looked at Li Xin, who spoke energetically and had a rosy face, feeling both sigh and envy.
He smiled and asked: "What good strategy does General Li have?"
Li Xin raised his head and said: "Xinyuan led the army forward, defeated Longdui, Wu Sui, crossed the Yishui River, and took Wuyang, the capital of Yan State."
"As long as Wuyang is captured before Yan's reinforcements arrive, our army can use this as a basis to defeat the Yan's Liaodong Army and Dai Army that support Wuyang. Finally, the army will encircle Jidu and accomplish the great feat of destroying the country!"
Li Xin spoke loudly.
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "So what if Wuyang cannot be captured before the Dai army and the Liaodong army arrive."
Li Xin frowned.
In his opinion, this was impossible. Even Handan was defeated. How could he not capture the capital of Yan State?
Wang Jian smiled again and said: "General Li, I have my own mind on military affairs and strategy. Your military exploits will be indispensable when fighter planes appear. Don't worry."
"The soldiers from Guanzhong who have been reinforced by Your Majesty have just arrived, and I will leave them to you for training. This is a big deal and must not be neglected."
The general is old.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Xin's eyes. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "Wei."
Seeing Li Xin striding out of the tent, Wang Jian shook his head.
When using troops to fight, you must know the right time, location, and people.
In terms of weather, although the cold winter is about to pass, people are still shivering from the cold. Even his dignified generals have suffered from the cold, let alone the soldiers at the bottom. Attacking a strong city and a fortress in this weather is not a force.
Do people want to die?
Besides the favorable geographical location, Wuyang, the lower capital, was a fortress in the western part of the Yan Kingdom. It had been managed by the Yan people for hundreds of years and had become a fortress.
According to reports from spies, the city is surrounded by Yishui in the north and south. The main body is divided into two cities, east and west, separated by a grain transport river. It is said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Yan army in the city is also ready for a bloody battle.
, is it possible to win it easily as Li Xin said.
Finally, there is Hehe, the Yan army defends their homeland, and the Dai army and Qin hate the country's subjugation. Both armies have high morale and regard death as home.
Moreover, they are all local indigenous people and have already adapted to this severe cold climate. However, the Qin army is just the opposite. Not only is their morale low, but many of them are not accustomed to the climate. The new soldiers who support them are hastily recruited. Without more training, they will not have much potential.
combat effectiveness.
The weather, the right place, and the right people, if the three are not met, there will be disaster even if there is victory.
Even if Li Xin's surprise attack was really possible to capture Wuyang and then destroy Yan State and achieve unparalleled feats, the risk was too great.
"When I fight in a war, I always talk about the word 'stability'."
Wang Jian looked at the direction Li Xin left, blowing his nose and shaking his head.
Young people.
…
The newly built military camp.
An eight-foot-high wooden wall surrounds the perimeter, and the troops stationed inside are divided into five small camps: front, rear, left, right, and center. Each small camp has a separate camp area, and there are clear boundaries between the camps, and
Corresponding trenches were dug to distinguish them.
Sentries are set up every 120 steps on the road in the military camp to prevent soldiers from passing without permission, and they are responsible for clearing the road.
Among the five small camps, they are divided according to hundreds of people.
"If there are not a hundred people, there is no way to get through. If there are not a hundred people who come in, kill them. If you don't kill them, they will be guilty of the same crime!"
The military order has been issued, and people who are not members of a hundred-man team are not allowed to pass. If someone enters other camps without authorization, the hundreds of generals in that camp will arrest the trespasser and severely punish them. If no punishment is carried out, the centurion will be seated together, not only the hundred-man team.
The general, the commander of the camp, and all the other people will be guilty of the same crime.
"It's so strict."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart. Lu Wu, the hundred generals who had just led them, had already conveyed the military order. Then he returned to the camp, and Liang Guang, the commander of Xin Tun, gathered the five subordinates under his jurisdiction and repeated it.
"Those who do not follow the rules of generals and officials are not allowed to pass. Those who collect fuel and feed grass must form a procession. Those who cannot form a procession are not allowed to pass. Those who have no integrity among officials and no soldiers will be punished by crossing the gate. Anyone who exceeds the allotment of dry land will be punished...
…”
Strict military law is not something you can talk about casually. Throughout the article, there are various kinds of failure and various punishments.
Everyone must stay in the camp until orders are given from above.
Once someone violates military orders, even if they sit down, no one can escape.
In this situation where he could not move around at will, Zhao Tuo could only huddle in the camp with Gengshi's robes and stare.
"It's too cold, my God. This kind of weather can make people go to war. It's freezing to death just from the cold."
In the camp, Xiaobai sighed, huddled up in a ball with his quilt (qīn) in his arms, and his body was still shivering.
Zhu said: "Wait, when it's time to cook, the fire will be ready."
The army had special handymen to collect firewood and cut grass, but because the Qin army had too many people, the firewood they brought could only be used for cooking. It was impossible to keep warm by the fire on weekdays.
There were sighs and sighs. Most of the people in the camp were from Guanzhong. Although the winter in Guanzhong was not much better, at least it was the hometown where I grew up and my body had certain adaptability.
Now that we have arrived in the land of Yanzhao, not only are we not accustomed to the climate and climate, but we also happen to encounter the coldest snow melting day, which is much colder than when it snows.
Moreover, there are no beds in the camp, everyone has to make beds on the floor, not to mention the feeling.
Fortunately for Zhao Tuo, he is originally from Zhao and is more adaptable to the climate here, but in order to be gregarious, he also behaves coldly.
"Just squeeze in a little bit, let's keep each other warm, and it'll be over after a while."
"Okay, Tuo, I'll sleep with you and let me warm up."
As soon as Black Butt's eyes lit up, he wanted to get under Zhao Tuo's quilt.
You must know that in addition to weapons and armor, the Qin army had to bring not only a change of clothes, but also quilts or quilts or buy them at the market near the station. Therefore, the thickness of each person's quilt is related to his or her financial resources.
Of all the people in the tent, Zhao Tuo was naturally the most important.
In this regard, Black Butt has already taken aim at it.
But before he could pull Zhao Tuo's quilt away, Shejian's head came out, and he gave Hei Butt a cold look. "Go find someone else."
Black Butt turned around angrily. At this time, everyone else formed a team with each other.
Only he and Xiqigu were left in the corner.
Xiqigu felt Hei Butt's gaze and shouted: "No!"
The black hipster smiled playfully and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he was stunned.
Not only him, but everyone in the tent quickly got out of their quilts.
A slow and heavy drum beat.
Accompanied by the roars of the messengers one after another.
"General patrolling the camp!"
"General patrolling the camp!"
"Eight Hundred Years of the State of Yan·The Natural Environment of the Land of Yan" P17: The climate from the Warring States Period to the early Han Dynasty was slightly cooler than modern times. Starting from the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the climate became warmer.
