"Everyone." Sima Cuo's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, slowly passing through the tent.
He glanced at Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan... The sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through their souls made the two generals feel uncomfortable.
Sima Cuo looked away as if nothing had happened and said steadily: "Just as everyone guessed - Ganyukou, a place where grain was stored, was attacked by Mi Liang. All the grain and grass were burned, and the 20,000 defenders were almost wiped out."
When the generals heard this, their expressions varied.
Sima Cuo took a deep breath.
Although Sima Cuo had no expression on his face in order to stabilize the morale of the army, his heart was actually very heavy.
A secret report from the border has just come - the State of Zhao is preparing to move on the border between Qin and Zhao, and there seems to be signs of sending troops to attack Qin.
The moment Sima Cuo heard the news, he truly experienced what "cardiac arrest" meant.
The Zhao people were ready to move, but the food and grass of the coalition forces were burned again.
Winter is coming soon.
Everything points to the same result - the coalition forces of Qin, Wei and South Korea are no longer able to fight for a long time. They must either take advantage of the victory and withdraw their troops when they see the situation is good, or step up their offensive and strive for a quick victory.
Zhao Guoren, the sixth brother, has been very mysterious and low-key in recent years, and their specific combat power is unknown.
However, it is not too weak after all.
Sima Cuo didn't want to know what it felt like to be stabbed in the back by these gangsters...
Bai Qi was a little anxious and whispered: "Guowei..."
Sima Cuo let out a long breath.
We are really not willing to withdraw our troops!
Although this battle resulted in many beheadings and fruitful results, it also taught the archenemy Chu a profound lesson...
However, Xiong Wuliang in front of him was still alive.
As long as this Xiong Wuliang is still alive, he will be a huge threat to Qin!
The capital of Ying is right in front of us... If we just withdraw our troops like this, what will the officers and soldiers of the three armies be willing to do?
Not willing to give in! Really unwilling!
Bai Qi stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Guowei, part of the kerosene you asked for has been delivered - although the quantity is not a lot, it can still pose a considerable threat to the city wall."
"Now our army is not conducive to a long-term war, so we must fight quickly and decisively!"
"With the help of kerosene, maybe we can try an attack..."
Sima Cuo pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
We are under the city of Yingdu and have an absolute advantage in military strength - if we retreat without fighting, we will really not be willing to do so!
"The whole army begins to prepare immediately," Sima Cuo ordered: "Starting tomorrow, launch a full-scale fierce attack!"
Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan looked at each other and understood. Although they still accepted the order, they both had the intention of not doing enough work.
As for the generals of the Qin army, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all shouted angrily: "I will obey the general's order! Attack with all-out force!"
The "all-out fierce attack" described by Sima Cuo is by no means comparable to the previous temptations.
There must be hundreds of thousands of people taking turns to fight, and tens of thousands of people will be launched at every turn to attack... trying to conquer Yingdu City in one fell swoop!
Don't look at the Chu people who have kerosene - firstly, the Chu people must not have enough kerosene, and secondly, our Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces also have kerosene to help!
At worst, we’ll hurt each other!
As long as an earthen jar full of fire oil hits the city wall, the Chu people's defense will immediately drop by a notch...
The Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces had an absolute advantage in strength.
Although 20,000 people were lost at Ganyukou, there were still 280,000 troops.
In a word -
The advantage is mine!
Sima Cuo gave the order, and the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition camps quickly became busy...
…
The head of the city of Yingdu.
Xiong Wuliang had already received the Ganyukou battle report from the Qingyu Guards. He was now standing on the top of the city, looking at the busy camp of the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Sima was in a hurry.
Playing right into Xiong Wuliang's plan!
In fact, Sima Cuo couldn't help but launch an all-out offensive at this moment, and it was all under Xiong Wuliang's control - even if the Xiaoqi army failed to capture Ganyukou, Sima Cuo wouldn't be able to stay there for too long.
Because to the north of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han, there is another Zhao State that is watching covetously.
Zhao Yong, that old soldier, was good at hiding his clumsiness, and he had the temperament to ignore the rabbit before he saw it. At this moment, the military strength of the Zhao State was already considered one of the best, but the other countries in the world didn't know it yet, and they only thought that the Zhao State was still the second-rate Warring States Period it had been.
Only Xiong Wuliang, a time traveler, knows that Zhao Guo’s combat power is definitely not weak!
The Linhu and Loufan cavalry recruited by Zhao Yong, plus Zhao's new light cavalry unit modeled after the Hu people... With such a powerful army, if it really rushes to the battlefield in the Central Plains, it is still unclear who will win.
In real history, Zhao Yong originally had plans to go south to the Central Plains after annexing Zhongshan Kingdom.
The main direction of using troops is to attack Qin and compete with Qin for hegemony!
It is a pity that Zhao Yong is a man who seeks stability and will never take action easily until he encounters an absolutely excellent opportunity... As a result, until King Zhao Wuling died of starvation in the Sand Dune Palace, he did not wait for the best opportunity to send troops in his mind.
How pathetic!
There is a saying that Zhao Yong is not only an extraordinary king, but also an 'S+' level commander.
It is said that since ancient times, the six kingdoms of Shandong have attacked Qin from east to west - the main direction of attack is Hangu Pass.
After so many years of fighting, Qin's eastern defense line has become very strong after constant tug-of-war and continuous improvement.
Hangu Pass is extremely dangerous and almost insurmountable.
Zhao Yong ingeniously planned a strategy of fighting from north to south - directly north of the Guanzhong Plain is the endless Loess Plateau, which extends to Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County, which were just brought under the rule of Zhao State. Although the road was not smooth, it was much easier to walk than the old road at Hangu Pass that the Qin people strictly guarded.
What a genius strategic idea!
In order to explore the feasibility of this road that had not been visited before, King Zhao Yong of Wuling of Zhao decisively passed the throne to his son, and then led a team of elite cavalry to repeatedly explore this road.
He even risked his own life to enter the territory of Qin.
For such courage and courage alone, he is truly a hero of a generation!
Unfortunately, Zhao Yong did not wait for the best time to send troops, so he died in a tragic civil strife... and died of starvation in the Dune Palace.
He was a well-deserved King Wu of Zhao. Because of this bizarre palace incident in his later years, another word "ling" was added to his posthumous title - chaos without damage is the spirit.
In fact, subsequent history proved that the path explored by Zhao Yong was very feasible and very feasible!
Hundreds of years later, the Xiongnu cavalry repeatedly marched along the route envisioned by King Zhao Wuling - the Xiongnu occupied the Hetao area, raced along the Loess Plateau, and were able to break through to the hinterland of Guanzhong in a short time, allowing the emperors of the early Han Dynasty to Worried.
…
In real history, Zhao Yong failed to wait for the perfect opportunity to send troops until his death.
But at this moment, Xiong Wuliang has created enough opportunities for him!
The Qin army has already moved out in full force, and the main force is in the hinterland of Chu.
In a short period of time, it will be impossible to return to defense.
With the advancing speed of the Zhao Cavalry Group Army, if troops are sent out quickly and accurately, even if Xianyang cannot be captured, the Qin people can still smash the Guanzhong hinterland, which is enough for the old Qin people to drink a pot.
Therefore, Sima Cuo will definitely be limited by Zhao Yong's threat and speed up the attack on Yingdu!
Everything was as expected by Xiong Wuliang!
