However, Zhao Jun's series of almost stagnant movements did not affect Qin Jun's pace.
Within one night, all units of the Qin army had set off.
The Qin Army on the northern route, Ying Xue's cavalry had already rushed frantically towards the northwest defense line for dozens of miles, and was taking a rest in the mountains and forests. They would turn around when it got dark, heading straight east and inserting themselves into the northern part of the Zhao Army; The infantry led by Wang Lu has also arrived at the predetermined position, and it will take another two to three days of running to reach the mountain pass.
The Qin army in the south, without the worry of being discovered by Zhao Jun, continued to march during the day. The leading troops could reach Jiepailing in just one and a half days at the earliest.
In Guanglang City, Sima Cuo stayed up all night and finally sorted out his troops one by one. Their respective captains and commanders were leading the recruits to inspect their defense lines. What makes Sima Cuo extremely excited is that more than 3,000 of the wounded soldiers have returned to the team after treatment and rest. Although these 3,000 people are currently part of the strategic reserve team, no matter what, Sima Cuo is crucial to defending Guanglang City. The front line has more confidence.
Hu Shang's headquarters on the east bank of Danshui also received a general from Bai Qi late at night. Immediately, 25,000 elite soldiers took advantage of the night to slowly move to the vicinity of the Hanwang Mountain camp. There were even 5,000 warriors. Crossing the Hanwang Mountain camp, they quietly ambush near the east bank barrier. As soon as the encirclement and annihilation battle on the west bank begins, the two defense lines of Hanwang Mountain and the East Bank Barrier will be taken down immediately.
Everything was within Bai Qi's expectation.
As for Zhao Jun's stagnation, Bai Qi just wanted to say: Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo! If you come slower, let me make the surrounding fence stronger!
As a result, both Zhao and Qin ushered in a rare calm during the war, although this calm revealed a lot of weirdness.
Although Zhao Kuo didn't know where Bai Qi would come out and where to surround him, Zhao Kuo believed that he was like a small insect caught in a spider's web, and that the big spider would appear in front of him at any time. There is really no other way except clenching your fists, taking every step, and waiting for external rescue.
Immediately, this rare and peaceful day passed quietly, and the process of the war slowly advanced in the silence of both sides. The spider web surrounding Zhao Jun gradually revealed its shape, and the final battle was about to come.
"Woo..."
The low horn sound sounded again, just like the rising sun rising again.
Groups of high-spirited Zhao troops, wearing the same neat and clean armor, holding bright swords and swords, marched in neat steps, with their flags half-rolled, and slowly drove out of the barrier camp.
The green mountains are beside you, and a cool breeze blows from time to time.
The war horses opened the way ahead, and a few horse neighs were heard from time to time.
But this happy march was eventually interrupted by Zhao Kuo's military order.
"The soldiers go out on guard, and the troops behind build forts along the mountain."
As a result, the army marched and stopped. In just a few hours, there were dozens of fortresses built along the mountain. The largest one could accommodate several soldiers (thousands of soldiers per soldier), and the smallest one could hold several soldiers. They can also station hundreds of troops.
According to the size of each fort, the defensive troops are arranged, but they are not stationed in it. They are only made familiar with the location. Depending on the size of the fort, one or several soldiers are left for guarding purposes. .
Of course, the soldiers who were left behind were unlucky. Not only did they have to succumb to this small fortress, but they also lost the credit for killing the generals and capturing the flag.
Therefore, most soldiers were unwilling to stay.
It's just that there are so many military orders, even if you don't want to stay anymore, you can only stay after the military order is issued.
Looking at the retreating figures of their comrades and recalling the teasing remarks they made before leaving, all the soldiers who were left behind were dejected.
After the commotion, the soldiers who stayed behind had not yet experienced the feeling of loneliness and the sadness of losing the opportunity to perform meritorious service. Then they ushered in Zhao Jun's follow-up troops, and their arrival also brought different information to the soldiers who stayed behind.
That was the baggage force at the rear of the palace responsible for escorting supplies.
"Come here, collect the goods!" The leading captain drove the car and shouted towards the soldiers sitting in the fort.
"Yes." Although he was depressed, he did not dare to delay in the face of the captain's order. He arrived outside the fort one by one, ready to receive supplies. After all, it was already miserable enough for him to stay behind, but he didn't want to do it again. Hungry.
However, no one expected that there would be so many supplies in front of them.
The bulging bags of grain are enough to feed one person for more than ten days;
Bundles of extremely sharp arrows are probably enough for an archer to fight several times;
There are also buckets of gold juice, even several riprap trucks, and large tanks for storing drinking water...
A large amount of supplies and weapons were unloaded from the carriage and placed in front of them in the astonished eyes of the soldiers left behind.
Looking at the supplies being carried off the car like running water, it was obvious that the climb to the peak would not be done without aim, let alone waste so much supplies in this wilderness. No matter how slow your reaction is, you will know that something is fishy.
Apart from "there must be a big war here", Zhao Jun could not think of any more reasons for being left behind.
As for why the war happened here, it was not something that Chief Shi and his soldiers could know. After all, the information they received was really limited. Of course, they don't need to consider these books.
However, if a war breaks out here, wouldn't the front become more and more dangerous?
The commander and his subordinates looked at each other, and they obviously reacted. There was a bit of disbelief in their eyes, and a bit of happiness.
Without the slightest hesitation, the commander led his soldiers and baggage troops to carry the supplies together.
With the completion of the transportation of materials, nearly one-fifth of the originally empty fortress was instantly occupied, which clearly shows Zhao Kuo's preparation.
After the captain of the baggage commander gave a few more instructions on precautions and confidentiality, he immediately led his soldiers and a long convoy to the next fort.
And how can the chiefs in the fortress sit still.
"Ergou! Take your men and strengthen the fortress, prepare more spurs, and dig deeper ravines."
"Sanwa, cut down the unsightly woods in front of the fortress!"
"Sixi, go fill the big tank with water, dig a few big holes, and fill them all with mountain springs for me."
...
Shi Chang was obviously proficient in defensive operations. He ordered his soldiers one by one to make final preparations before the war. After experiencing the scene of transporting supplies, it was obvious that the soldiers had a vague idea of what might happen next. For Shi Chang There was no sign of resistance to the arrangement, and everyone got busy immediately.
Soon, the dozens of fortresses laid out by Zhao Kuo gradually sprouted fangs one by one. In the semi-permanent fortifications, the angles of the riprap trucks had been adjusted, ready to give the intruder a fatal blow at any time. hit.
