"General, the battlefield has been cleared. Our army only lost more than 200 people, but we completely wiped out the 5,000 Zhao cavalry who came to the rescue. Our army has won a great victory."
Huang Tianhua said with excitement, looking at Li Jing with eyes full of admiration.
These five thousand Zhao cavalry are the last cavalry in Bohai. They are well-deserved elites. If they are used well, they will not be at a disadvantage even if they face 30,000 infantry.
The total strength of the Qin army was exactly 30,000, but in the face of Zhao's 5,000 elite cavalry, they were annihilated with only more than 200 casualties. This battle was too easy, wasn't it?
Li Jing naturally saw the admiration in Huang Tianhua's eyes and smiled lightly: "Well, it's not bad."
What Huang Tianhua saw as a great victory was nothing more than a normal operation in Li Jing's eyes, and there was nothing to be proud of.
"General, how do you know that high-ranking officials will definitely take this path?" Huang Feihu asked puzzledly.
From Huang Feihu's point of view, the most important thing at this time should be to support Su Dingfang. After defeating Lian Po's main force of the Zhao army, it would not be a waste of effort to eliminate only high-ranking officials. However, Li Jing decided to do the opposite.
The reason why Li Jing did not attack Lian Po first, but instead set up an ambush to plot high officials, was because Lian Po was already the thorn in the urn.
With Su Lie watching over the battlefield, Lian Po couldn't withdraw even if he wanted to, but the high-ranking cavalry came and went like the wind. If he wanted to withdraw, not even Li Jing could stop him.
If you attack Lian Po first, the senior officials will definitely run away.
Attack high-ranking cadres first, but Lian Po cannot escape.
Therefore, Li Jing chose to deal with the high-ranking cadres first, and took advantage of the high-ranking cadres' impatient weakness to calculate the Zhao army's route in advance and set up an ambush, and finally annihilated the Zhao cavalry.
After hearing Huang Feihu's words, Li Jing smiled calmly and said: "If our army arrives in advance, Lian Po's army will be defeated under attack from two sides.
If the senior officials want to catch up with and block our army, they can only catch up by taking a shortcut.
There are only three roads from Bohai to Julu, and this road is the shortest. If Gao Gan doesn't take this route, where will he go?"
Huang Feihu suddenly understood, clasped his fists in admiration and said: "The general has foresight and my subordinates admire him."
Looking at Huang Feihu, who looked like he was willing to be taught, Li Jing couldn't help but secretly nod his head, and said to himself: "Huang Feihu is calm, humble, low-key, wise and courageous. He is a general who can lead an army on his own. I will take the initiative to recommend him to you."
"
Looking at Huang Feihu's two sons who were still in excitement, Li Jing couldn't help but shook his head in his heart and thought to himself: You are a foolhardy man.
Through these days of getting along, Li Jing has figured out the character of the Huang family, father and son. Brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang are not stupid either, they are just simple-minded.
At this thought, Li Jing couldn't help but complain in his heart that Huang Feihu was so careless about his own son's education, and that these two talented people were turned into a reckless man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.
"In the future, Zha'er and his three brothers must not be like the Huang brothers." Li Jing thought to himself.
What Li Jing didn't know was that Huang Feihu had never failed to care about his sons' education, but no matter how he taught his two sons, their nature was like this, so what could he do?
Li Jing will soon experience Huang Feihu's experience. The three beloved sons he has high hopes for are not much better than the Huang brothers, especially the youngest son Nezha, whom he loves most. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a demon king. In short, none of them are
People inherited his intelligence and military skills.
——————————
On the Julu battlefield, the Zhao army's camp was built on the mountain. It relied on the terrain and was carefully laid out. Its protective power was no less than that of the city. It was precisely in this way that the Qin army, which was attacking so fiercely, could not advance even an inch.
"Report... to Commander Lian Po, important information came from Julu. Li Jing secretly led the army into Jizhou, intending to join forces with Su Lie to attack the main force of our army from both sides.
My lord has sent five thousand elite cavalry to intercept, and I also ask the governor to be careful and be careful not to let Li Jing take advantage of him."
After listening to the report, Lian Po had no expression on his face. As he was always cautious, it was naturally impossible for him not to leave a secret sigh in the direction of Qingzhou.
In fact, Li Jing had just entered Jizhou, and Lian Po of Julu already knew it. The time he received the news was even faster than that of the Bohai Sea.
After learning about this, the generals of the Zhao army were in an uproar. They used 80,000 troops to fight against the 125,000 Qin army. They were already very reluctant, and now tens of thousands suddenly appeared from behind. Who can bear this?
?
Lian Po immediately prepared to make arrangements, but Su Lie suddenly invaded. Under the fierce offensive of hundreds of thousands of troops, Lian Po could not separate his troops. Naturally, he understood that Su Lie and Li Jing had premeditated the plan.
All the generals of the Zhao army proposed to retreat, but only Lian Po knew that retreating at this time would be the real doom and gloom.
Lian Po and Su Lie had fought against each other more than ten times, and both sides already knew the truth. If their positions were exchanged, Lian Po would not let Su Lie withdraw under his nose.
If they withdraw their troops, not only will they not be able to escape, but the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who are chasing after them will actually eat up the Zhao army to the core.
While Lian Po was stabilizing the morale of the army, he was waiting for news from the Bohai Sea. Now he had no choice but to hope that the Bohai Sea could stop Li Jing.
At this time, Lian Po was extremely lucky to have left 5,000 cavalry for emergency response on the Bohai side. Otherwise, there would really be no hope at all now.
"Who will your lord send to lead the army to help this time?" Lian Mei asked.
"It's a senior general."
"High cadre?"
Lian Po unconsciously raised his voice and asked: "Why is it him? Why not General Ju Yi?"
"General Ju Yi is also responsible for the city defense of Bohai."
Seeing Lian Po's reaction, Tantai Yu couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Grand Governor, what's wrong with the high-ranking generals coming to help?"
"General Gao Gan is young and energetic, his temperament is not stable enough, and he lacks awe of Li Jing. If he were to lead the army, he would easily fall into an ambush by Li Jing in his impatience." Lian Po said in a condensing voice.
"ambush?"
Tantai Yu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals all exclaimed. Yan Liangqiang smiled and said: "The main force of our army is 80,000 in Julu. How could Li Jing go and ignore the main force of our army, but instead ambush the 5,000 cavalry of General Gaogan?"
What? The governor is worried too much."
"Yes, yes..." All the generals agreed.
"I also hope I'm worrying too much."
Lian Po's eyes were full of anxiety and he shouted: "Immediately send a flying pigeon message to General Gao Gan to alert him to Li Jing's ambush."
"promise."
Obviously, before Lian Po's flying pigeon message could reach the senior officials, he was ambushed by Li Jing.
"Report, General Gao Gan was ambushed by Li Jing, the entire army of five thousand elite cavalry was wiped out, and Li Jing is about to arrive at Julu."
"hiss……"
All the generals of the Zhao army took a breath of cold air. Li Jing actually left the main force alone and instead went to ambush the high-ranking troops.
A trace of determination flashed in Lian Po's eyes, he looked at the generals below and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, prepare to fight hard."
