Zhongshan, Qin army camp.
"General, now that the reinforcements have arrived, it's time for our army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
Li Xin stood in the tent, his voice like a blazing fire, burning in the cold land of Yanzhao.
"Ahem."
Wang Jian, who was sitting at the top, covered his mouth and coughed twice, then picked up the silk beside him and wiped his nose.
He had suffered a little bit of wind and cold in the past two days. Even if someone lit a campfire in the tent, he could still feel the slightest bit of coldness entering his body.
It’s not cold when it snows, it’s cold when it melts.
Winter is coming to an end, but the weather is even colder than usual, which is really unbearable.
Seeing that Wang Jian was silent, Li Xin couldn't help but said: "General, if you don't seize the opportunity, wait until the Yan people's Liaodong Army and Zhao Jia's Dai Army arrive, join forces and defend Wuyang. We want to destroy If you lose the Yan Kingdom, it will be even more difficult."
Young people.
Wang Jian looked at Li Xin, who spoke energetically and had a rosy face, feeling both sigh and envy.
He smiled and asked, "What good plan does General Li have?"
Li Xin raised his head and said: "Xin is willing to lead the army forward, defeat Longdui and Wu Sui, cross the Yishui River, and directly take Wuyang, the capital of Yan State."
"As long as Wuyang is captured before reinforcements from the Yan State arrive, our army can use this as a basis to defeat the Liaodong Army and Dai Army of the Yan State that support Wuyang. Finally, the army will encircle Jidu and accomplish the great feat of destroying the country!"
Li Xin spoke loudly.
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "So what if we can't capture Wuyang before the Dai Army and the Liaodong Army arrive."
Li Xin frowned.
This is impossible in his opinion. Even Handan has been defeated, and the capital of the Yan Kingdom is just under the capital. How can it not be taken?
Wang Jian smiled again and said: "General Li, I have my own mind on military intelligence and strategy. Your military exploits will be indispensable when fighter planes appear, so don't worry."
"The soldiers from Guanzhong who have been reinforced by Your Majesty have just arrived, and I will leave them to you for training. This is a big deal and must not be neglected."
The general is old.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Xin's eyes. He took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "Wei."
Seeing Li Xin striding out of the tent, Wang Jian shook his head.
When using troops to fight, you must know the right time, location, and people.
In terms of weather, although the cold winter is about to pass, people are still shivering from the cold. Even his dignified generals have suffered from the cold, let alone the soldiers at the bottom. Attacking a strong city and a strong fortress in this weather is not a force. Do people want to die?
Besides the favorable geographical location, Wuyang, the lower capital, was a fortress in the western part of the Yan Kingdom. It had been managed by the Yan people for hundreds of years and had become a fortress.
According to reports from spies, the city is surrounded by Yishui in the north and south. The main body is divided into two cities, east and west, separated by a grain transport river. It is said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Yan army in the city is also ready for a bloody battle. , is it possible to win it easily as Li Xin said.
Finally, there is Hehe, the Yan army defends their homeland, and the Dai army and Qin hate the country's subjugation. Both armies have high morale and regard death as home.
Moreover, they are all local aborigines and have already adapted to this severe cold climate. However, the Qin army is just the opposite. Not only is their morale low, but many of them are not accustomed to the climate. The new soldiers who support them are hastily recruited. Without more training, they will not have much potential. combat effectiveness.
If the weather, the right place, and the right harmony are not met, there will be disaster even if there is victory.
Even if Li Xin's surprise attack was really possible to capture Wuyang and then destroy Yan State and achieve unparalleled feats, the risk was too great.
"When I fight a war, I always say the word 'stable'."
Wang Jian looked at the direction Li Xin left, blowing his nose and shaking his head.
Young people.
…
The newly built military camp.
An eight-foot-high wooden wall surrounded the perimeter, and the troops stationed inside were divided into five small camps: front, rear, left, right, and center. Each small camp has a separate camp area, and there are clear boundaries between the camps, and corresponding trenches have been dug to distinguish them.
Sentries are set up every 120 steps on the road in the military camp to prevent soldiers from passing without permission, and they are responsible for clearing the road.
Among the five small camps, they are divided according to hundreds of people.
"If there are not a hundred people, there is no way to get through. If there are not a hundred people who come in, punish them. If you don't punish them, they will be guilty of the same crime!"
The military order has been issued, and people who are not members of a hundred-man team are not allowed to pass. If someone enters other camps without authorization, the hundreds of generals in that camp will arrest the trespasser and severely punish them. If no punishment is carried out, the centurion will be seated together, not only the hundred-man team. The generals, the commanders of the villages, and all the others will be guilty of the same crime.
"It's so strict."
Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart. Lu Wu, the hundred generals who had just led them, had already conveyed the military order. Then he returned to the camp. Liang Guang, the commander of Xintun, gathered the five subordinates under his jurisdiction and repeated it.
"Those who do not follow the rules of generals and officials are not allowed to pass. Those who gather firewood and herdsmen must form a procession. Those who do not form a procession are not allowed to pass. Officials who have no integrity and soldiers who do not have a team will be punished by crossing the gate. Anyone who exceeds the quota of dry land will be punished... …”
Strict military law is not something you can talk about casually. Throughout the article, there are various kinds of failure and various punishments.
Everyone must stay in the camp until orders are given from above.
Once someone violates military orders, no one will be able to escape even if they sit down.
In this situation where he could not move around at will, Zhao Tuo could only huddle in the camp with Gengshi's robes and stare.
"It's too cold, my God. This kind of weather can make people fight. It's freezing to death just from the cold."
In the camp, Xiaobai sighed, huddled up in a ball with his quilt (qīn) in his arms, and his body was still shivering.
Zhu said: "Wait, when it's time to cook, you can put it on the fire."
The army had special handymen to collect firewood and cut grass, but because the Qin army had too many people, the firewood they brought could only be used for cooking. It was impossible to keep warm by the fire on weekdays.
There was a sigh, and most of the people in the camp were from Guanzhong. Although the winter in Guanzhong was not much better, at least it was the hometown where I grew up, and my body had certain adaptability.
Now that we have arrived in the land of Yanzhao, we are not only unaccustomed to the climate and climate, but we also happen to encounter the coldest snow melting day, which is much colder than when it snows.
Moreover, there were no beds in the camp, so everyone had to make beds on the floor. Not to mention the feeling.
Zhao Tuo was okay. He was originally from Zhao and was more adaptable to the climate here, but in order to be gregarious, he also acted cold.
"Just squeeze in, let's keep each other warm, and it'll be over after a while."
"Okay, Tuo, I'll sleep with you and let me warm up."
As soon as Black Butt's eyes lit up, he was about to get under Zhao Tuo's quilt.
You must know that in addition to weapons and armor, the Qin army had to bring not only a change of clothes, but also quilts or blankets or buy them at the market near the camp. Therefore, the thickness of everyone's quilt is related to their own financial resources. Of all the people in the account, Zhao Tuo is naturally the most important.
In this regard, Black Butt has already taken aim.
But before he could pull Zhao Tuo's quilt away, Shejian's head came out, and he gave Hei Butt a cold look. "Go find someone else."
Black Butt turned around angrily. At this time, everyone else formed a team with each other.
Only he and Xiqigu were left in the corner.
Xiqigu felt Hei Butt's gaze and shouted: "No!"
The black hipster smiled playfully and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he was stunned.
Not only him, but everyone in the tent quickly got out of their quilts.
A slow and heavy drum beat.
Accompanied by the roars of the messengers.
"General patrolling the camp!"
"General patrolling the camp!"
