Chapter 348 People are like tigers, horses are like dragons!
In mid-October, the Qin army launched a three-pronged attack on the territory of Yan.
Meng Ao returned to Xianyang shortly after the destruction of Chu, and then under the command of Zhao Huaizhong, he became the first general of the Three Route Army to approach Yan.
Meng Ao's route was pushed forward from the middle road, and the troops were directed towards Wuyang, an important town to the west of the Yan Kingdom (the capital of the Yan people, northwest of today's Baoding, Hebei).
During the Zhou Dynasty, Wuyang was once the capital of the Yan people and the largest city in the western border of Yan.
The majesty of its city walls is unparalleled in any other country.
Wuyang is rectangular in shape and its scale was rare throughout the Warring States Period.
There is also an ancient river running through the city from north to south, which is said to be a river for transporting grain.
Prince Dan personally led his troops to guard this place, faced off against the Qin army, and was ready for battle.
The Mongolian soldiers forced themselves outside the city, set up camp, dug trenches, and arranged various fortifications in an orderly manner, not in a hurry to attack the city.
But the Qin army was like a tiger, and Prince Dan did not dare to ignore it at all.
By mid-to-late October, Prince Dan received the news.
It was learned that Lian Po led his army from Wucheng to the Hejian area, close to the southernmost point of Yan.
Lian Po was very experienced in employing troops, and the choice of this march route was extremely unreasonable, which made Prince Dan very uncomfortable.
The position where it appeared was like a war spear, pointed obliquely at the armpits of the Yan people, but it was hanging without firing, and it happened to be blocked on the only way to pass the junction of Yan and Qi.
If the people of Qi want to aid Yan, they must first go through Lian Po.
The appearance of Lian Po's army echoed that of Meng Ao's middle army, and together with Wang Jian's troops in the Chu territory further south, they formed a situation of two fronts, the north and the south, attacking the Qi people from afar.
Lian Po's march route was chosen wonderfully.
The Yan people's pressure increased sharply.
The situation in Yandi became increasingly tense.
It was not until late October that the Northern Route Army led by Li Mu was discovered by the Yan Army.
When he received the news, Prince Dan was patrolling at the top of Wuyang City, looking at Meng Ao's headquarters outside the city.
In the Qin Army's military camp, there is a bronze figure facing off against the Qin Army's troops, simulating a confrontation.
Nuo Da's bronze men moved sideways like mountains, while the Qin army used military formations to fight with the bronze men.
The Qin army's flexible formations and the bronze men's brutal force made the Yan army generals feel heavy.
At this moment, the Yan people's spies sent a battle report.
Qin general Li Mu selected 30,000 tiger warriors from the 100,000 Qin troops on the northern route, and used the remaining 70,000 to station troops on the northern route of Yan's territory to attract the attention of the Yan people.
Then Li Mu personally led 30,000 elites, marched in secret, detoured from the northern line of the Yan region, took advantage of the conflict between the Donghu and the Xiongnu, and was too busy to take advantage of it. He stayed close to the border between the Donghu and the Yan people, bypassed the northern border defense of the Yan people, and approached the Yan people.
Zaoyang, an important town in Yanbei (starting at the northwest end of the Yanjing Great Wall, present-day Zhangjiakou, Hebei).
We must know that if Yanbei's Zaoyang City is destroyed and the Qin army moves south, it will pose a threat to Jicheng, the capital of the Yan people.
The position chosen by Li Mu to send troops is exactly what the art of war says: attack the enemy when he is unprepared, seize the enemy and defend it, and attack directly when the enemy is weak.
The two sides had not officially started fighting yet, and Li Mu had taken the absolute initiative simply by relying on his marching skills.
You must know that Li Mu had fought with the Yan people many times before when Zhao was the general. Li Mu had deduced countless times how to deal with the Yan people.
The current march is just to turn the idea into reality.
Li Mu was able to give full play to his full potential and was no longer constrained by various objective conditions when Zhao was a general, so he was able to suppress the Yan army as soon as he sent troops.
Wuyang City Head.
When Prince Dan saw Li Mu's marching route mentioned in the newspaper, his face suddenly turned pale, his chest felt distressed, and his eyesight turned black.
The appearance of Li Mu along the way, directly attacking Yang, not only made the Yan army lose all the initiative.
Moreover, all of Prince Dan's previous defense arrangements will have to change with Li Mu's appearance, and it may not be too late to reconstruct the defense line.
The people of Qin fought in three directions, each one more sharp than the other.
At the end of the journey, Li Mu went straight to save the Yan people.
At the same time that Prince Dan saw the news, the capital of Yan, Jicheng, and King Xi of Yan also learned the same news.
If Zuoyang is destroyed, Jicheng will be threatened by the Qin army's front.
King Yan Xi quickly summoned Prince Dan to dispatch troops to deal with Li Mu's troops on the northern front.
The next day, Prince Dan sent his generals and 40,000 Yan troops to make Yang for reinforcements.
Among the Qin army, Meng Ao also received the marching route sent by Li Mu. After reading it, he was quite amazed: Li Mu, under the layers of defenses of the Yan people, actually found a route that the Yan people were led to follow.
Meng Ao studied Li Mu's marching strategy in the Chinese army's tent. The more he studied, the more interesting it became: "Li Mu is really talented.
Come on, send an order to the entire army to cooperate with Li Mu and advance forward to suppress the Yan people and Wuyang soldiers and horses, so that they will not dare to divide their troops easily."
"No!" A private soldier quickly went down to deliver the order.
Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong passed the mirror sentry and received the battle report from the front line immediately.
He was reading the battle report at the study window and couldn't help but curl up his lips.
This hasn't started a formal battle yet, but the early game using marching methods is already quite exciting, making Zhao Huaizhong even more looking forward to this battle.
There are good generals emerging one after another, and the biggest advantage is that you don't have to be too happy to be the boss.
There haven't been many state affairs these days, and everything in Qin's territory is stable.
Zhao Huai was free after noon: "No one has come to trouble me recently, but I feel a little uncomfortable... I haven't used the thick ground hammer since I got it..."
On October 23, the sky was overcast.
When the Qin army launched a three-pronged attack on Yan, the Qi people also mobilized nearly 100,000 elite troops, went north to approach Yan, and stationed troops in Rao'an City, on the north side of Qi's territory, adjacent to Yan, and kept sending troops to confront Qin at any time to disturb it.
The deployment situation of attacking Yan.
Just when Li Mu's troops were forcing Yang to retreat, the Qi army resolutely sent its troops northward to aid Yan in its fight against Qin.
Lian Po's troops responded immediately and marched eastward along the river.
One day later, the Qin and Qi armies encountered each other first.
On the same day, Wang Jian's troops also sent troops north from the original Chu territory to attack Qi.
The battle to attack Yan has not yet begun, but Qin and Qi are fighting on two fronts.
The Qi people launched a national war with a scale of more than 100,000 people on both the northern and southern fronts.
The Qin people's resolute fighting will and quick response, Wang Jian and Lian Po's echo and skillful cooperation were beyond the Qi people's expectation.
The Qi army was forced to make changes. The army that was aiding Yan just showed up and then retreated, confronting Lian Po and Wang Jian.
At this point, the Qin army attacked Yan, and no one could interfere or stop it.
To the west of Yandi, the capital is Wuyang.
Meng Ao's middle route army raised troops to attack the city.
In the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Outside the city of Wuyang, bronze warriors of war ran wildly towards each other, stepping on the ground and shaking the mountains.
Its whole body glowed as it ran, and under the countless symbols engraved in its body, the phantom of a small cauldron appeared in its Dantian.
Suddenly, the bronze man opened his mouth, and a blue beam of light spit out like a cannonball.
That beam of light was the phantom of a Nine Cauldron, carrying the power of the vast land of China, and struck the head of Wuyang City.
There was a loud noise like the earth was shattering.
The whole city of Wuyang shook.
And right behind the bronze man was the dark Qin army...
At the same time, the Yan people hundreds of miles away were attacking Yang in the north, and Li Mu was also attacking the city simultaneously.
The Qin army he led was all elite, and the dragon-armored forbidden army led by Fang Junhu was used as the leading edge to attack the gate of Zaoyang City.
In front of the two armies, Fang Junhu took the lead and led the dragon-armored imperial army in a cone shape to launch an offensive against the city gate.
At the top of Zaoyang City, the famous Yan defender Lu was a middle-aged general with a strong body but a slender face.
He stared at the Qin army under the city with a stern look, waved his hands and ordered, threw boulders and fired crossbows to prevent the dragon-armored imperial army from approaching the city gate.
Suddenly, arrows rained down inside and outside the city, bowstrings vibrated, and boulders flew away.
But when the six hundred dragon-armored troops were attacked, the armor on their bodies immediately evolved into a defensive shield with the secret text of origin, instantly removing the defenders' offensive.
The speed of the dragon-armored army increased instead of decreasing, and they rushed toward the city gate like sharp arrows.
At this moment, following Fang Junhu's gesture, the six hundred forbidden soldiers inhaled at the same time, and even their breathing became unified.
Fang Junhu jumped up on his horse and raised his fighting weapon high.
Behind him, the secret writings on the armors of the six hundred forbidden soldiers circulated, and combined with the energy in the body, they converged together and landed on the war gun raised by Fang Junhu.
The Zhan Ge was blessed by six hundred secret texts, and it suddenly grew in size, like a siege tree. The secret texts coiled on the sword were as dense as stars.
Suddenly, there is a black dragon on Zhan Ge, circling and swaying.
Fang Junhu's face turned red, as if he could not bear the weight of the sword in his hand, and the big tendons on his neck tensed up: "Come again!"
So the six hundred armored dragons exhaled for the second time, and the armor secrets on their bodies, together with their own aura, once again blessed the Zhan Ge in Fang Junhu's hands.
At this time, Fang Junhu's whole body swelled, and his whole body became bigger.
At the head of the city, the leader of the Yan people, Ju Lu, his eyes red and red, shouted: "Let go!"
The Yan defenders at the top of the city also worked together, and a huge boulder broke through the air and fell from the top of the city.
Click!
Fang Junhu threw his weapons amidst the roar.
He turned a blind eye to the huge boulder that was pressed down, and the six hundred forbidden troops worked together to create a secret shield to help him deflect the blow.
But at the same time that the boulder was lifted, a cold arrow shot over like lightning, right between the eyebrows of the Fang army.
At the top of the city, Ju Lu looked gloomy and held a long bow in his hand.
The arrow strikes at a critical moment.
Fang Junhu's figure seemed to have turned into a phantom, somewhere between reality and reality, narrowly avoiding the arrow.
And the force he projected, combined with six hundred forbidden troops and countless secret texts, suddenly struck the city gate.
The defensive formations on the Zaoyang City Gate were instantly shattered by the sharp edge contained in this sword.
puff!
A huge hole appeared in the city gate.
Fang Jun's horse galloped wildly, and the six hundred forbidden troops behind him screamed in unison. Their armors were intertwined and secret texts were connected, and a black dragon totem was actually formed.
The secret texts on each Forbidden Army are connected and together form part of the Black Dragon.
This black dragon followed Zhan Ge closely and crashed into the city gate.
The city gate exploded with a bang and was torn into pieces.
Six hundred dragon-armored troops transformed into black dragons and rushed into the city brazenly.
Behind the Qin army, the heavily armored Liu Han shouted wildly: "Okay!"
Six hundred forbidden troops worked together and were able to break into the city!
Liu Han was shocked, but he couldn't help but feel excited.
Next to him, Li Mu's chest, which had been silent for many years, could not help but feel a touch of warmth.
The Qin army is like a tiger, and as a general, how lucky it is to be able to lead such a team across the battlefield!
The city gate has been broken!
Li Mu immediately ordered a general offensive!
In the rear, horses are like dragons, people are like tigers, and the Qin army is like a tide, rushing towards Wuyang!
What no one noticed was that in the clouds above the battlefield, a man and a woman stood looking down.
"You asked me to watch the Qin army attack the city. Do you want to show the bravery of your subordinates?"
The woman with a beautiful and cold face turned her head and asked the young man in black robe beside her.
"I'm not that bored. I just thought about the changes in various places when the seal of the ends of the earth is lifted, so I came out to take a look. Did you find that after the seal of the ends of the earth was lifted, the strength of the Yan army also increased, and they are not weak."
A slight smile appeared on the young man's angular face: "It's just that our Qin army is stronger."
