"After completing the capture of the Hanwang Mountain Camp, immediately launch an attack on the Zhao Army's east bank barrier and completely cut off Zhao Army's escape route to the west. Then when our army attacks the west bank barrier, we can attack it from the east bank of Danshui River." Bai Qi pointed to the map, He was giving instructions to his subordinates as if he were ordering a book.
"Yes!" General Pi agreed immediately.
"How is the situation in the south?" Bai Qi turned around and faced the generals and continued to ask.
"On the south road, General Wang Qi's 50,000 horse and infantry troops have formed a semi-encirclement of Zhao Jun's South Road Division. General Wang replied: "You can cut off the return route of Zhao Jun's South Road Division at any time, and you must not allow Zhao Jun's South Road Division to divert. One soldier and one soldier returned to the main battlefield in the middle." Another general immediately answered.
"Okay!" Bai Qi nodded again and said, "Tell Wang Qi that after the annihilation battle begins, we must quickly encircle and annihilate Zhao Jun's partial division on the south road, and at the same time send a powerful force to quickly penetrate northward, aiming directly at the west bank barrier. . Use a strong posture to suppress the Zhao army from crossing the river, and buy time for Hu Shang's troops on the other side of the river.
At the same time, after our army started taking action, we divided another 50,000 troops to join the Southern Army. After the main force of our army rushed to the barrier, they quickly joined forces with the main force of our army and Hu Shang's troops to break through the Zhao Army's barrier defense line and defeat the Zhao Army. The main force was completely locked on the west bank of Danshui. "
"Yes!" The general said excitedly.
After giving orders to the troops in the south, Bai Qi immediately continued to ask: "Well, have the king's reinforcements arrived?"
"The king has issued an order to recruit all men over fifteen years old from Hedong. The first batch of 50,000 people has arrived in Guanglang City." The voice of a captain sounded from behind.
"Fifty thousand people!" Bai Qi murmured to himself, then turned his eyes to the hanging map, silently calculating the strength of the troops in his mind as he looked at it.
The barrier suffered a deliberate defeat, and the number of troops in its hands was reduced to less than 370,000. Adding in the current reinforcements, the number is more than 420,000.
The North Road partial division plus the troops led by Jiepai on the South Road amounted to 75,000 troops.
If the southern route wants to break through as soon as possible and complete the deterrence and attack on the west bank barrier, it still needs at least 50,000 troops.
To the north, once Zhao Jun finds himself trapped, the north is bound to be Zhao Jun's only breakthrough point. The key point in the battle between the enemy and us here should also be the most difficult place. Once the northern defense line is not secure, Zhao Jun can pass through the mountains and return to the Changpingguan line, and then the pockets he finally laid will be empty.
Therefore, the north must be defended.
But the north is not like Guanglang City. There are city walls to defend, and there is no need to collect boundary cards. There is a good location and a flat area. It is obviously not that simple to block Zhao Jun's cavalry.
There is only one way--code people, code ruthless people! There are enough people on the dock to make it desperate and suffocating.
An army of 150,000 people!
Only this number can bring enough peace of mind to Bai Qi. And this is the greatest sincerity that Bai Qi can show.
But as a result, Bai Qi only had 155,000 people left in his hands. Logically speaking, these 150,000 should be enough to defend the front line of Light Wolf City, but the problem is that only these 150,000 people are left. There are more than 50,000 people and horses who came down from the barrier and broke off the rear army, and now they cannot be put into use immediately.
Even Bai Qi couldn't give him all the elites of the remaining 100,000 troops.
Thinking about this, Bai Qi glanced at the general on his left hand, who was lowering his head and thinking about something - Sima Cuo.
"Sima Cuo!" Bai Qidian said.
"The general is here!" Sima Cuo, who was also calculating the strength of his troops, suddenly raised his head and responded.
"These 50,000 new soldiers are given to you in exchange for 30,000 old soldiers!" Bai Qi said without hesitation.
Sima Cuo was slightly startled when he heard this?
Fifty thousand for thirty thousand? Well said! The troops under his command are truly the elite among the elite of the Qin army. They have strong crossbowmen and great swordsmen. Almost every soldier has a title. In other words, almost every soldier is on the battlefield. Rolling through bloody water.
With such a strong army, with only 50,000 new soldiers, I can kill them with 10,000 old soldiers! You actually want to replace me with 30,000 old soldiers!
Sima Cuo looked at Bai Qi pitifully, almost crying, as if to say: "No, boss!"
"Huh?" Bai Qi, who didn't hear Ying Nuo's voice, glanced at Sima Cuo with doubtful eyes.
With this look in his eyes, Sima Cuo seemed to see the God of Death waving to him again.
However, as a senior general of the Qin army, Sima Cuo would naturally not go against Lord Wu An's wishes. Of course, he also understood better that if he wanted to surround the main force of the Zhao army with almost the same force, the force would inevitably be stretched thin. And since Mr. Wu An arranged it this way, he must have his reasons.
Whatever! As a veteran general of the Qin Army, Sima Cuo still had some awareness of this point. Without any more words, he clasped his hands and agreed, "Yes! The last general will order troops now!"
"I want crossbowmen and great swordsmen!" Seeing Sima Cuo's hesitation, Bai Qi made a decisive move with his sword.
Sima mistakenly touched a mouthful of old blood, but remembering the gloomy little eyes, he swallowed silently, "Are we so unreliable?"
In desperation, Sima Cuo had no choice but to raise his hands and lower his head and shout loudly: "Yes!"
It seems that this is the only way to vent the depression in my heart.
"Wang Hao!" After sending Sima Cuo away, Bai Qi continued to point out the generals.
"The last general is here!" General Wang Lu, standing on Bai Qi's right hand side, immediately took the order.
"With your 150,000 troops and all our cavalry, we will set out at starry night and quickly penetrate between the north of Zhao Jun and the mountains and forests, completely sealing Zhao Jun's north passage!" Bai Qi pointed at the map and slowly ordered.
"Yes!" Wang Hao immediately accepted the order.
"Ying!" Bai Qi continued to point.
"The general is here!" Ying Xi, who had already been restless and wanted to make new achievements, stood in front of Bai Qi almost as soon as Bai Qi announced his name.
"You are Wang Lu's deputy general and will lead our army of 100,000 cavalry to support him." Bai Qi immediately ordered without any nonsense.
As soon as this order came out, all the generals in the audience were in an uproar. If they hadn't known that Ying Si was from the official family, they would have thought that Ying Si was the illegitimate son of Lord Wu An.
One hundred thousand cavalry! That's not a hundred thousand infantry on the barrier. Although he was only a deputy general, one cavalryman could withstand several infantrymen, which was almost one-third to more than half of the entire army's combat strength. It was actually given to a grader so easily. However, whether it was due to Lord Wu An's majesty or recognition of Ying Xi's good command performance in the Battle of the Barrier, there was actually no objection from the generals on the field.
"Yes!" Ying Xi agreed immediately.
After he finished speaking, Bai Qi's eyes immediately looked at the map. In Bai Qi's eyes, there were streaks of red and black, and the situation between the enemy and ourselves on the entire Changping battlefield seemed to come alive on the map.
