"Please ask General Lian Po to issue an order to march!" After saying this, Lord Xinling stepped aside and handed the protagonist's position back to Lian Po.
Lian Po was not polite. He coughed lightly to hide his excitement, and then ordered: "Generals!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.
"This general orders: At two o'clock tonight, the entire army will set off and march into Shangdang territory at night. Join the Zhao army to attack the Qin army." Lian Po ordered.
"Yes!" All the generals replied in unison again.
It was now almost Unity hour, and after the military meeting, it would take time for the camp leaders to rush back. This meant that the Wei army had less than three hours left to make preparations before departure. This time was obviously rushed.
But Lian Po didn't want to and didn't dare to wait any longer.
He knew that Zhao Kuo had some bad cards in his hands now. The Qin army came out in full force. Lian Po didn't know how long he could hold out, but thinking about it, every moment and every minute was torture.
If the Wei army cannot set off at midnight, it means that the Wei army cannot complete the strategic transition at night, and it will not be able to suddenly appear on the Qin army's flank after dawn and give the Qin army a sudden blow.
Once the Wei army's appearance loses its tactical surprise, the effect of flanking the Qin army will be greatly reduced, and the Wei army will suffer heavy losses because it is exposed to the Qin army's vision early.
Lord Xinling will never allow this to happen.
Then there are only two choices, either be prepared to be in a hurry and leave at 2:00 tonight, or be fully prepared and leave at 2:00 tomorrow night.
There is a whole day here and there. Can Zhao Jun withstand this day longer?
Maybe, but Lian Po doesn't want to gamble, and he doesn't want to gamble. If he faces it alone for one more day, it means thousands of casualties. Obviously Lian Po succeeded in persuading Lord Xinling in the end. Of course, there was some intimidation involved, but no matter what, the two giants of the Wei army finally reached an agreement.
Seeing that the generals had no objections, Lian Po immediately continued the order: "General Jin Bi."
"The general is here!" Jin Bi, who was standing on the left side of Lian Po, immediately left his shift and agreed.
"With your 30,000 troops, you will be the vanguard of my army..."
Just as Lian Po was orderly giving orders to the Wei generals, the Zhao army on the Shangdang battlefield was experiencing the most difficult moment since the war began. Even Zhao Kuo had no choice but to defend.
The Qin army on the battlefield was obviously furious. Under Bai Qi's command, the back-and-forth battle yesterday became one-sided.
The battlefield has always had its iron laws. What it tests is the resilience of an army, a country or even a nation. Whoever can persist better will be the final winner. The Qin Army just came the day before yesterday to "break ten bases in one day", and the Zhao Army's backhand was to "encircle the point and call for reinforcements" and wiped out the Qin Army's more than 10,000 elite troops. Now, it is obviously the Qin Army's turn.
Heavy armored infantry armed with long swords appeared at the forefront of the attack.
You must know that the heavy armored infantry is the most elite unit among the Qin army's conventional forces, second only to the cavalry. Their soldiers are stronger, their armor is thicker, and their swords are thicker and stronger than ordinary long swords. It is longer, so it is also called the "Great Swordsman" by the armies of other countries. Such troops are usually dispatched at critical moments to make the final decision.
Today, Bai Qi placed these troops at the forefront, obviously intending to use this generous long sword to completely smash Zhao Jun's fortress.
Not only the "Great Swordsmen", but also the "Dead Soldier Battalion" who had left a distinguished life at the end of the Battle of the Barrier were all transferred out by Bai Qi, not to mention the crossbowmen that the Qin Army was proud of, and they were all guarding him throughout the process. .
Bed crossbows, chariot crossbows, as well as ladders, arrow towers, and city ramming vehicles used for siege, one by one, were all mobilized by Bai Qi.
It can be said that Qin Jun's entire family fortune was revealed.
Without him, Bai Qi wanted to win this damn war and slaughter all the damn Zhao people, because there was definite news from Wang Lu that Ying Xi had been hit by several arrows. Suffering from fire, he also bled to death.
The moment he received the silk letter, Bai Qi obviously aged several years.
The Qin army's attack became sharp as a result.
And it became cruel - don't take prisoners, this was the secret order conveyed by the captains secretly to the Qin army soldiers.
The great swordsmen opened the way, the crossbowmen guarded, the dead soldiers attacked the fortress, and the cavalry protected the wings. The Qin army pushed forward in an orderly manner regardless of everything.
On the other hand, Zhao Jun's combat power was insufficient, and because he was immersed in the joy of last night, his defense was full of loopholes.
In less than an hour, a fortress from the east, west and north was captured.
What made Zhao Kuo even more depressed was that although Zhao Jun had a fortress to defend, the battle loss ratio was an astonishing one to two. Zhao Jun, who had the defensive advantage, actually lost more troops.
Zhao Kuo really regretted having angered the Qin army. The angry Qin army was really "terrifying".
After Zhao Kuo knew that he was "encircling the point for reinforcements", the Qin army was bound to retaliate brilliantly, but he did not expect that the Qin army's revenge would come so quickly and so powerfully.
Although Zhao Kuo had made all the preparations he could for this, the 40,000 elite troops led by Zhao Wei were divided into four groups by Zhao Kuo when they returned, and they strengthened defenses in four directions. But the garrison of 40,000 elites still failed to change anything, and they were still crushed by the powerful combat power of the Qin army at every turn.
Fortunately, after the huge casualties, Zhao Jun's bloody spirit was gradually inspired. The character of being "brave and unafraid of death" is by no means exclusive to "Correcting Old Qin". After a counterattack, the Qin army failed to expand its results after breaking three fortresses in a row.
Despite this, the situation on the front line is still not optimistic. The huge gap in combat power cannot be made up for by a moment of bloody courage. What's more, the Qin army never lacks that "bloody courage". Although Zhao Jun had fought for his life, he was still pressed by Qin Jun in all directions and was almost suffocated.
It was only a matter of time before the fortress continued to be breached.
And Zhao Kuo only had the last 20,000 mobile troops left in his hands.
It can be said that Zhao Kuo has no cards left to fight. Even if he throws 20,000 elites into a certain battlefield, it will be like mud and cattle into the sea, and there is no way to save the war situation.
Soon, an hour later, bad news came from the north and east almost at the same time: a fortress in each was breached, and no soldier in the fortress was spared.
Zhao Kuo, who was still lying on the bed, shook the medicine bowl in his hand slightly, then raised his neck and drank the black and slightly cold medicine in one gulp. The bitter taste bloomed in his mouth instantly.
Although this medicine is bitter, it is not as painful as Zhao Kuo's thoughts - Brother Lianpo, where have you been? Brother, I really can't hold on any longer! For the sake of Zhao Guo, help your brother!
Give me a brother!
