"Yes, it's a sneak attack on Changping Pass!" Guo Ting interrupted the captain's reply and said in surprise, "Old Huang, let's wait for the meritorious service! It will be a greater achievement than being the first to get there."
"What? Credit? Here?" Huang Chong obviously didn't believe it.
"That's right!" Colonel Guo Ting nodded and said with certainty: "Of course we don't need to attack Changping Pass, but the Qin army will!"
Before Huang Chong could react, Lieutenant Guo immediately broke off a branch and made signs on the ground: "Old Huang, look, the Qin army's barrier has been breached by our army, and they are retreating to Guanglang City, right? .”
"Yes, isn't this obvious? So let's finish the investigation quickly and go back to see if we can still catch some soup!" Qu Changhuang Chong said impatiently, and the meaning couldn't be clearer: if you fart, hurry up. !
Colonel Guo looked at the impatient Huang Chong, but didn't care at all. He continued to say slowly: "You have to know that we just caught the Qin Army by surprise. Although the Qin Army suffered losses, its main force is still there. If you are Coach Qin Jun, do you want to make a comeback? If you want to make a comeback, how do you want to make a comeback?"
Huang Chong thought for a while again, and then slowly analyzed: "If we reorganize our troops and confront our army head-on, although the Qin army is more elite than our army, in the plain areas, the number of our army's cavalry is several times that of the Qin army." , coupled with the victory of seizing the barrier and attacking it with the victory, the advantage lies with me. Therefore, the Qin army general will not do this."
"Standing on the front line of Guanglang City is an isolated city, but with the Qin army's craftsmanship, it is not difficult to build a simple barrier in a short time. It may be the best choice to stick to it and wait for changes." Huang Chong also folded his head. He gestured with a branch on the ground and said: "If it still doesn't work, we can only retreat to the front line of the empty warehouse and occupy the favorable location to wait for our army."
"Of course!" Guo Ting nodded in agreement, and then continued to add: "However, no matter whether you stick to Light Wolf City or lead the empty warehouse, you can only be undefeated. If you want to make a comeback, it is impossible!"
"If so, the Qin army wants to turn defeat into victory?" Guo Ting said slowly.
"Changping Pass?!" The two of them pointed their branches at the same place and said in unison.
"However, if Changping is lost, the old pass will be in danger. If the old pass is lost, we can attack Handan directly if we advance, and cut off our army's food routes and surround our army if we retreat. The comeback only takes a moment." Guo Ting concluded: "But If our army explores the road here and makes an ambush on the way, then..."
There is no need for Guo Ting to say more words next.
"Damn, General Xu is crazy, he can think of all this. I just said that General Xu can't let us elites do useless work. No one is allowed to speak ill of General Li behind his back in the future, especially you. You don't know how drunk you are. , and even yelled at General Tu Xu. Get out of here!" Huang Chongqu jumped three feet high, pointed at Guo Ting's nose and cursed.
"I don't know who scolded him first!" Guo Ting's face darkened, and he drew a circle in his mind to curse someone. Guo Ting, who was born in a family of generals, really didn't have many options for dealing with such a treacherous person, the kind who was his benefactor.
"I'm afraid this matter was arranged by General Zhao Kuo and Zhao." Guo Ting threw away the branch in his hand and said slowly.
Obviously, Guo Ting, who was born as a general, is more aware of the capabilities of the upper echelons of the Zhao army than Huang Chong.
"Who cares who arranged it? As long as he can lead us to win the battle!" Huang Chong said without any concern.
Indeed, for the Zhao Army officers and soldiers who are working hard below, it is really not that important who is in charge, whether their surname is Xu, Zhao or Lian. What is important is that the person in charge can lead them to win the war and lead them to win the war. To help them return home, that's all.
Of course, as a lower-level soldier, Huang Chongqu could not understand, think, and ignore. Captain Guo Ting, who was a middle-ranking officer in the Zhao army, couldn't, especially because behind Guo Ting there were generals from Daijun. Obviously, Guo Ting has now become a die-hard fan of Zhao Kuo, and this trust and admiration will also play a key role in helping Zhao Kuo gain a foothold in Dai County. Of course, this is a story for another day.
Guo Ting was just thinking about how to tell his family about this, when he suddenly heard Huang Chong's rough voice again.
"Brothers, check carefully, search carefully! The captain said, find a way and enjoy a bottle of wine!" Commander Qu ignored Captain Guo who was thinking, and turned around to offer a reward in the name of the captain.
In an instant, Colonel Guo's face darkened. But obviously, looking at his subordinates who were in full swing at the moment, Guo Ting had no better way except to accept it. After all, this was the result he wanted.
The mountain patrol team here thought they understood the leader's intention, but Captain Chen Zhang, who hurried south from Danshui and had just taken over the barrier and rear army, was having trouble with the general's order and frowned. Think carefully about the leader's intentions.
"First of all, rule out the possibility that General Zhao is a spy of the Qin Army. After all, he just led everyone to break through the Qin Army's barrier that has not been broken for three years, and he also ordered a large number of Qin troops to be killed."
"Secondly, we can rule out the possibility that General Zhao has nothing to do. After all, issuing orders so carefully cannot be useless."
"Then what does General Zhao want to do? The breached barrier is already dilapidated. It needs to be repaired. Even if a large army is used, it will take ten days and a half to repair it. But the rear army under his command is not only responsible for the transportation of food and ordnance. , where are the extra manpower to repair the barrier? Moreover, why are they repairing it! Shouldn’t the valuable troops be put into the frontal battlefield? Will the Qin army come back from behind? "
"The Qin army mobilized our troops on such a large scale and we were unable to detect it in advance? Then what do our army's cavalry sentries do for food? Since the Qin army can't get around behind them, what's the point of repairing the barriers?"
Chen Zhang was quite puzzled, but fortunately out of his trust in leading the Zhao army to break through the Qin army's barrier, Chen Zhang still followed the order and sent out nearly half of the rear army to repair the barrier.
The rear troops of the Zhao army here were busy repairing the barriers and transporting grain, fodder and ordnance. The pursuit troops led by Sun Gu of the Zhao army in front did not tear the Qin army apart as expected, but became somewhat passive.
During the retreat, the Qin army not only showed no panic or confusion, but instead exploded with stronger combat power.
Just like a hedgehog, if you make the slightest movement, it will immediately explode its thorns. Several attacks have no effect, but it was hit by several counterattacks by the Qin army, causing heavy losses.
It’s no wonder that Sun Gu is not good at defending but not attacking. It’s because the Qin Army has already prepared. The Qin Army has already planned the route and method of retreat. Of course, the Qin Army has also prepared for Zhao Jun’s pursuit. Have a plan.
