I Want To Be Qin II

"Wait for the dead men in light clothes to clear out the Zhao army archers on both sides, occupy the two mountains, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Jingxing Pass City."

Zhang Han was so impassioned that after losing the first battle, he naturally wanted to lead his troops to fight in person to regain his morale.

"Before I left Xianyang, the king repeatedly reminded me that there is no time limit for the battle to destroy Zhao..."

Standing in the shogunate, Wang Jian said in a deep voice: "The battle to destroy Zhao should not be rushed. The reason why the king repeatedly warned before leaving is to let the soldiers restrain their anxious heart for revenge."

"As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Qin and Zhao have fought bloody battles for decades, and there is a deep blood feud between them. Once they meet, it will inevitably be a life and death battle."

"Our army is not the Zhao army. Our army is not trying to win a battle, but it is shouldering the mission of unifying the kingdoms of Shandong and fulfilling the king's ambition."

"So, we want to destroy the Zhao State, but this battle must be fought wisely and not forcefully. If in this battle, we destroy one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, how can our army destroy the other countries?"

…

Faced with Wang Jianzhi's question, the entire shogunate fell into silence. These words completely calmed them down.

They knew the seriousness of Wang Jian's words and the fundamental reason for the establishment of the new army in Lantian Camp.

They represent the hard work of Qin Wangzheng and the ambition of Qin Dong to destroy the country and unify the world.

Therefore, they can lose, but they cannot lose too much.

"Please make some plans, General. We shall fight for the Qin Dynasty and die for the King!" At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the army spoke one after another with great momentum.

After gathering his composure, Wang Jian glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes, and finally spoke: "This time to destroy Zhao, our army is coming from three directions, so our central army must be stable."

"Mengtian's army on the north road came out from Wu'an and went down from the north, squeezing the living space of Zhao State. At the same time, the prince's army on the south road marched to Handan to attack the southern part of Zhao State."

"In this way, our army only needs to contain Li Mu. As time goes by, the three armies can surround Li Mu and completely annex the Zhao Kingdom."

…

Outside Handan City.

An army of 200,000 people lay across the field, flags fluttering, covering the sky and the sun. The shogunate of the Qin army had already been established, and all the troops in the camp were on standby.

"Crown Prince, General Wang Jian has already confronted Lord Wu An of the State of Zhao..." When the news came, Ying Gao opened the information and read it again, then smiled.

"Let's fight a protracted war!"

Looking at the overall military plan for this time's dispatch of troops, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth. He naturally knew Wang Jian's plan.

I have to admit that a long-term confrontation is more beneficial to Qin.

Great wars and confrontations are often a test of a country's national strength. At this point, Da Qin naturally has an advantage over Zhao.

It's just that something happened in Handan, and he can't wait any longer. Once Pang Yuan takes care of the Zhao land, when the time comes, the Zhao government and the public will unite together, which will be a fatal blow to Da Qin.

At this thought, Ying Gao's eyes were full of murderous intent, but he also knew that it was impossible to conquer Handan with an army of 200,000.

"Sima, take this general's command and mobilize the old camp outside the pass to Handan."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Central Army turned and left. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao was planning to attack Handan.

"Master Sima, please pass this order to the Long Live Army..."

Speaking of this, Ying Gao suddenly stopped. Although the Long Live Army has good combat power, the officers and soldiers of the Long Live Army are all Rong Di.

From the beginning to the end, Ying Gao did not want to involve the foreign races in the disputes in the Central Plains. This was also the tradition that had been maintained on the land of the Central Plains.

"Let the Long Live Army be stationed in Liangzhou!"

Looking at the map marked with arrows, Ying Gao had an astonishing energy in his eyes. He believed that with the addition of the old camp outside the pass, it would be enough to conquer Handan.

Even excluding the Wan Sheng Army, the Po Army, the Python Bird Army, and the soldiers from the old camp outside the pass will be included in the whole Handan City, and there will be at least 2.67 million troops away from Handan City.

In Handan today, even if Lian Po defends the city, how can he go against the will of heaven.

"Master Sima, has Mr. Dunruo been picked up?" After a long silence, Ying Gao spoke to Master Sima and said.

"General Ying, Mr. Dunruo is under the control of Zhao State, and there is no way to rescue him at the moment!"

Master Sima's expression was ugly, and the post was heavily guarded by troops, preventing anyone from approaching. Even Jingyesi was helpless.

"never mind!"

After saying that, Ying Gao turned to Yang Duanhe and said: "Yang Duanhe, ordered all the catapults to be pulled out, and the bombing was carried out at different levels and intermittently. At the same time, he ordered the civilians to open the mountains and quarry stones."

"I am going to rely on catapults to completely knock down the Zhao city wall."

"promise."

Looking at Yang Duanhe, Ying Gao was silent for a while, and then gave a decisive order, saying: "At the same time, you will lead an army of fifty thousand pythons to inspect the east and west gates of Handan."

"promise."

Yang Duanhe left, and Ying Gao's eyes fell on Bai Zhong: "At the same time, Bai Zhong led the Python Bird Army to cruise at the north gate, cutting off Handan's grain and grass transportation and bringing in reinforcements."

"promise."

Speaking of this, Ying Gao said in a solemn tone: "I will personally lead the Po Army and the soldiers from the old camp outside the pass to attack the south gate head-on."

"This time, Handan is going to be in turmoil, and Pang Yuan is unable to integrate Chao Gang!"

"promise."

With the order, the Qin army moved in succession. On the wall of Handan, the armored Lian Po looked solemn. He knew in his heart that the 200,000 tiger and wolf Qin army would definitely attack Handan.

As the Qin army advanced in three directions, Zhao Bianqi, the frontier army and a small number of hinterland troops were at Li Mu's side at Jingxing Pass.

Most of them are in the Wu'an area to guard against Meng Tian and others, and the rest are in Handan City. Currently, there are only 150,000 troops in Handan City.

Only 100,000 people can actually be used for fighting, and the remaining 50,000 troops maintain the stability of the court and consolidate the results.

"Xiang Xiang, now the Qin army has marched outside Handan, and has already fought in the direction of Wu'an and Jingxingguan."

Hearing Sima Shang's words, Lian Po also nodded and said: "The main forces of Qin and Zhao are gathered at Jingxing Pass. It is impossible to determine the winner in a short time."

"Whether the Qin army wants to win or our army wants to win, the best direction to break through is Wu'an or Handan."

"Handan is a big city with a population of almost over one million. We have no shortage of food, grass, and soldiers, so we may not be unable to fight."

Lian Po knew in his heart that as a general, he was not only related to the stability of the military's morale, but also related to the stability of the government and the public in Handan.

At this time, he cannot be discouraged.

"Xiang Ya, the Prince of Qin is outside the city. If our army kills the Prince of Qin, it will definitely boost military morale..."

"impossible!"

Glancing at Sima Shang, Lian Po shook his head: "Since ancient times, few generals have charged into battle. What's more, I have received news that the prince of Qin is extremely afraid of death!"
