However, revenge must be avenged!
Bai Qi sat down slowly, thinking about his mistakes - yes, since the northern battlefield contained the Zhao army and the western barrier was back in his hands, especially the successful raid on the Zhao army's fortress the day before, Let yourself underestimate the enemy.
He clearly knew that the powerful Zhao army in northern Xinjiang, which could suppress his elite cavalry, was still in the hands of Zhao Kuo, but he was confused by the current situation of Zhao's army running out of food. Therefore, after the war, the deployment of troops was not adjusted in time, resulting in a gap in the east, which gave Zhao Jun an opportunity.
Bai Qi took a deep breath, and his emotions gradually calmed down. It's good to find the reason. Although the loss of 15,000 elites is a bit distressing, it is only a slightly larger loss to the 300,000 troops. It is worth it to use more than 10,000 people to make up for the loopholes in the encirclement!
What's more, although Zhao Guo won this battle, it also completely exposed its final combat strength.
With such a series of plans, they are obsessed with annihilating Ying's fifteen thousand troops. If they have sufficient combat power, they should immediately take advantage of our army's fear of making rash moves to attack the west bank barrier and open up a lifeline. But now the battlefield to the east is peaceful. Zhao Jun should have withdrawn after one battle.
There is only one possibility for such a strategy: Zhao's army is insufficient in combat power and can only initiate small-scale battles, but is unable to support large-scale battles. In other words: Zhao Jun's food shortage situation has not been solved. And this is what Bai Qi is most concerned about.
Of course, Zhao Kuo's ability was once again proven by this battle, which also made Bai Qi determined to completely keep this "general of tomorrow" on the Shangdang battlefield!
As for Ying Xi...
Bai Qi gritted his teeth, still unwilling to accept the news of Ying Shi's death. But I can only comfort myself a little: the body is still being searched, and there is still hope. Even if Ying Xi finally... he still has time, enough for Da Qin to select and train the next generation of successors.
As long as Zhao can be defeated in this battle, Qin's march to the east will be unstoppable. He will also have enough time and opportunity to prepare for Great Qin's future.
Yes, as long as we defeat Zhao.
"Call the generals to discuss matters in the army!" Bai Qi, who had already made up his mind, immediately ordered the generals to gather together.
Bai Qi here mobilized his troops and generals for the ambush of Ying Xin, preparing for strong and rapid revenge, while Tan Ma also quietly brought the situation of yesterday's battle between Qin and Zhao to Lord Xinling and General Lian Po.
"Did the Zhao army really fight back?" Lord Xinling murmured in his heart: "He also killed more than 2,000 Qin soldiers in a direct formation. What was the Qin army doing?"
Of course, Lord Xinling was not against Zhao Jun's counterattack. On the contrary, he was very eager for Zhao Jun to counterattack. It was just last night that I had an argument with Lian Po until midnight about Zhao's current combat strength. Today, someone told me that Zhao Jun had begun a counterattack. It all happened so suddenly that it was almost too coincidental to be true.
In the dark, Lord Xinling even felt that there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing everything forward.
All this is both accidental and inevitable.
The reason why the reinforcements refused to come out was due to the terrifying combat power of the Qin army. Facing the aggressive Qin army, the Zhao army was bound to fight back. Of course, the intensity and method of this fightback were different from those of Zhao Kuo in the 21st century. It's because I learned from Mr. Su, it's a bit strong and fast.
When Lian Po heard the news, although he was a little shocked, he was more secretly happy and proud.
What was surprising was that Zhao Kuo's counterattack came so quickly, but it also felt a little bit anticlimactic. After all, the number of two thousand enemies killed seemed a bit too small in a decisive battle with hundreds of thousands of troops.
From the brief exchange at their hometown, Zhao Kuo's step-by-step layout ability amazed both Lian Po and Tian Danna. It was obvious that he had already made all the plans before coming to the party. Based on this, Zhao Kuo should have made a decision before taking action. And with Zhao Kuo's demonstrated strategic and layout capabilities, if he counterattacked, it would not be just for the Qin army to suffer such a small loss.
But no matter what, being able to quickly capture the fighter plane under the heavy siege of the Qin army and give the Qin army a counterattack shows its ability.
now that
Zhao Kuo has already taken action, so naturally Lian Po cannot let Zhao Kuo take action in vain.
Lian Po looked at the confused Lord Xinling, and his heart became even more happy - we agreed yesterday!
"Your Majesty!" Lian Po said with a smile: "It seems that I have not said anything about the combat effectiveness of our Zhao army. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give us accurate information as to when our army will advance."
When Lord Xinling heard this, he thought to himself: It's broken.
Yesterday, this old man made a bet that once Zhao Jun succeeded in counterattacking, he would agree to attack with the whole army. It is believed that Lord Ling really does not want to attack at this time from the bottom of his heart.
A voice shouted in Lord Xinling's ears: Wait, wait, wait!
Waiting until Zhao Qin is exhausted is the best time for Wei Jun to join. Lord Xinling understood this, but Lian Po on the side knew it even more.
If Lord Xinling had waited until Zhao and Qin were exhausted before agreeing to send out the army, this would undoubtedly have completely destroyed the weak trust between the two countries: Will Lian Po still be able to command well? After defeating the Qin army, will Lian Po fulfill his contract and lead troops to attack Hanoi? Even after he committed such a betrayal of the alliance, would Lord Xinling still dare to trust Lian Po from Zhao?
Obviously, doing so will only completely disintegrate the fragile alliance.
Some people say that the Wei army has both Xinling Lord and Jin Bi, so it can completely abandon Lian Po and decide how to fight independently. Lord Xinling said: The last person who abandoned Lian Po was surrounded by the Qin army. Do you want to ask him if he regrets it?
From the moment they learned that the commander-in-chief of the Qin army was Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, neither Lord Xinling nor Lord Jin Bi had any nostalgia for the position of the commander-in-chief of the army. They both knew very well that they could resist Qin's Lord Wu'an. Only the old man in front of him - Zhao Guo veteran Lian Po.
Therefore, Lord Xinling must find a balance point, a balance point that will not humiliate and leave the battlefield in anger, but also minimize his own casualties.
But obviously, the military change of annihilating a mere two thousand troops was not the balance point that Lord Xinling was happy with. To put it simply, Zhao Guo’s fight is not painful enough. Only when Zhao Guo hits Qin Guo enough, Qin’s army will become angry and attack Zhao Jun. Only in this way can the balance that Lord Xinling wants be obtained. point.
"Old General Lian Po is mistaken. A mere two thousand Qin soldiers cannot be considered a counterattack. It is just a local conflict in which the Zhao army had a slight upper hand." Lord Xinling was telling lies with his eyes open. , of course, this skill is obviously a basic quality necessary for a mature politician.
