General Qin

The lower capital of Yan State, Wuyang.

"What, Wang Jian refuses to fight?"

Yan Dan roared angrily, crumpled the silk book in his hand, and threw it on the ground.

Zhao Jia, the acting king on the side, pouted and said, "Why should the prince be angry? It doesn't matter whether Wang Jian fights or not, our army just sticks to Wuyang. The city's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, only tens of thousands of people can stop him here There is a million troops, why bother to fight the Qin army. If Wang Jian does not enter the army, he will be reprimanded by the Qin king sooner or later. At that time, we only need to defend the city, and we will be able to kill the Qin people in this Wuyang city."

Yan Dan gave Zhao Jia a cold look, what kind of nonsense is this guy talking about.

If you can defend the city, who is willing to take the risk to fight the Qin army?

In the era of cold weapons, when attacking and defending a city, the side that defends the city has a great advantage, especially for a strong city like Wuyang, where tens of thousands of people defend it, they can block hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.

But isn't this Yan country can't afford it?

Not only is there a warning sign in Liaodong, but the Donghu will invade on a large scale and needs the help of the Liaodong frontier army.

More importantly, as the father said, the country of Yan has consumed a lot of food and grass in the past few months, and spring plowing is imminent. If the war is not ended as soon as possible, the people of Yan will not be able to farm with peace of mind. Not even a grain of grain can be taken out.

And what is the meaning of Zhao Jia's beating, do you really think Yan Dan doesn't know?

Last year, when Zhao Guo died, Zhao Jia took a group of old nobles and went to Daidi to become the king, and regrouped tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people.

But his territory is only more than three hundred miles away, and there is a famine year after year, so he can only go to Shanggu County to set up troops, saying that he wants to join hands with Yan State, but his food depends entirely on Yan State's supply, and now he even leads people to go to Coming to Wuyang City, the name is to unite against Qin Dynasty, but it is actually eating and drinking.

With so many people eating horse chews, even if the Yan Kingdom had a little savings before, they couldn't bear the consumption.

However, the Kingdom of Yan still needed Zhao Jia's soldiers and horses. Thinking of this, Yan Dan said calmly: "What the king said is reasonable. But our army's food and grass are not enough, and we have to go to Liaodong to warn, and we must fight that Wang Jian decisively."

"What if he doesn't come?" Zhao Jia asked.

"If you don't come, then we will cross Yishui and take the initiative to defeat the Qin army!"

A rough and domineering voice sounded, and a tall man eight feet tall, wearing iron armor, and full of beards walked in.

Qin Wuji.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Frontier Army. After Qin Kai, the famous general of Yan State, he is also the elder of Qin Wuyang. He is the first-class general of Yan State today.

Qin?

It is just a country of barbarians in Xirong, and it is similar to the savages in the east.

I heard that the Qin army claimed to be invincible in the world?

He hadn't been beaten to the bum by Li Mu of Zhao State before.

Wang Jian, Li Mu's subordinate was defeated.

And I, Qin Wuji, have won every battle and am a famous general in the world.

So Qin Wuji was not afraid at all, he felt that he was Li Mu of Yan Kingdom.

No, he wants to become someone like Qin Kai, the former ruler, or Le Yi, the ruler of Chang, who defeats King Jian in one battle, and destroys Qin in another!

...

Boom!

Drums were beating in the battalion.

Zhao Tuo was the first to wake up and called out. After a long period of training, all the people in the tent had already become sensitive to the golden drum. They got up one after another, put on armor, and looked for weapons.

After the five drums, everyone had eaten the court food, and under the command of military officials at all levels, they walked out of the camp and formed square formations under the flag.

Li Xin came galloping on a white horse, and beside him, two school lieutenants followed closely, and all the military officers under him had already assembled their soldiers.

Wearing armor, Li Xin stood impassionedly on the Dianbingtai, and seemed to be saying some oaths to send troops, but Gengshi was at the back, and he was facing the wind, so he couldn't hear clearly. He could only see the phalanx at the front shouting loudly. .

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

Excited emotions spread in the barracks, forming waves of sound that spread layer by layer. Even Zhao Tuo, who was in the rear, was infected by that emotion, and the blood in his body boiled.

He looked around and saw that Zhu, Heiyu and others were also raising their arms and shouting. Even Shejian, who had always been silent, blushed slightly and raised his hand.

army!

Once you join the army, you are no longer a single individual, and everyone's life and emotions are all connected together.

One prospers all, one loses all.

As the brightly colored flags headed east, each battalion marched in units of thousands of people and began to move eastward.

Zhao Tuo's eyes were shining brightly, and while directing Gengshi's people to move forward, he recalled the military situation he had learned during this period.

It is said that a few days ago the general had sent his deputy general Xin Sheng to capture Sanqiu and other important cities to the west of Yishui. The troops approached Nanyishui, but they stopped there and did not cross the river to attack the Great Wall of Yan on the east bank of Yishui. It seemed that they were waiting wearing something.

There are gossip rumors that the people of Yan have already waged war letters, and they will take the initiative to fight the Qin army in a life-and-death decisive battle in the west of Yishui.

Zhao Tuo didn't know if the news was true or not, but now that even their reserve troops have started to move, it seems that the decisive battle is not far away.

"Wang Jian will win this battle, and then sweep the land of Yan like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and finally encircle Jicheng and take down the capital of Yan State. However, King Yan will flee to Liaodong. After Chu State is destroyed, Qin State will be free to capture Yan State. , generation to eradicate together"

Zhao Tuo recalled the historical knowledge he had learned in his mind, Qin would surely win this war, so Zhao Tuo only needed to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, and he didn't have to worry about the big situation.

Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking about it, he found that something was wrong.

"No, this is not the road to Sancho, why is it going due north."

Zhao Tuo was recruited into Jingke's convoy after following the refugees to the vicinity of Sanqiu, so he knew the road.

It stands to reason that Wang Jian's army was stationed in Sangqiu, and even if the Yan people wanted a decisive battle, they should be near there. However, their reserve troops avoided the roads to the two places and walked to another northward path.

Could it be that they were not going to support Wang Jian?

The answer will be revealed in an hour.

At that time, the army had strayed far from the official path, and arrived in an uninhabited valley.

When you get here, you are not afraid of leaking military information.

General Li Xin stood on a high place and told them the purpose of the trip. Feng'er brought his voice into Zhao Tuo's ears.

"The general has lured out the Yan people, and will fight in the west of Yishui."

"Our department does not need to participate in this battle, because the general has other important tasks."

"When the two armies confront each other, our troops will bypass the battlefield, cross Yishui to the north, go straight to the Yannan Great Wall, conquer it, block the escape route of the Yan army, and strangle the defeated Yan Dynasty army!"

"This battle, our Qin army will surely win!"

"The Qin army will surely win!"

"The Qin army will surely win!"

...

As Li Xin's words fell, countless excited voices sounded.

Zhao Tuo was also surprised.

His first reaction was that Wang Jian was too confident.

The old general didn't need the reinforcements sent by the King of Qin, but he also had the confidence to defeat Yan and Dai coalition forces head-on.

At the same time, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but praise "Jiang is still old and spicy".

The army confronted each other head-on, and the strange soldiers went around and stole the house.

If they win the frontal battle, they will be able to cut off the retreat of the coalition army, strangle the rout, and wipe out the vital forces of the Yan Dynasty.

Conversely, if the two armies were at a stalemate on the frontal battlefield, and the stealthy soldiers captured the Yannan Great Wall, the Yan-Dai coalition forces who were cut off from the rear would inevitably be in chaos and be broken by the Qin army.

As for losing head-on, is it possible?

"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Qin Ji II": Wang Jian defeated Yan, fought with Yan Shi and Dai Shi in the west of Yishui, and defeated it.

"Historical Records: The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang": Wang Jian and Xin Sheng were sent to attack Yan. Yan and Dai sent troops to attack the Qin army, and the Qin army broke through Yan Yishui to the west.

Wuyang, the lower capital, is located in the north and east of Yishui, so in history, the coalition forces of the Yan Dynasty did not defend the city, but took the initiative to attack (Yan and Dai sent troops to attack the Qin army) to cross Yishui, and fought with the Qin army in Yishui. The Great War in the West was defeated by Wang Jian.

The reason why Yan Dai took the initiative to attack is unknown, it may be self-confidence, or it may be other reasons, here I can only guess for myself.
