Bags of grain were dragged out of the camp by the soldiers of the Wei army and piled up behind the camp; then, jars of kerosene were splashed wantonly on the long fortifications made of grain and the wooden walls. Above the camp.
With just a little spark, the wooden camp and the food and grass will burst into flames!
And this is Lian Po's trump card, and it is also the basis for Lian Po to want to keep the queen and dare to keep the queen.
The purpose of keeping the queen behind was to destroy this batch of grain and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Qin army. Lian Po knew very well the importance of grain and grass to an army.
Now the four sects of Shangdang are under the control of Zhao Jun, but the number of troops in each place is not large. If the Qin army has sufficient food and grass, they can choose one of them and attack it slowly. It’s even okay to wait for help on the spot. With Qin's national strength, as long as there is enough time, it is not impossible to mobilize or form an army of more than 100,000 people.
With the current strength of the Zhao army, they are defending everywhere, with at most 30,000 to 40,000 men at each location. Facing the fierce attack of more than 100,000 Qin troops, it may be possible to defend for a while, but it is difficult to defend for a long time. Once the Qin army in the encirclement is rescued, there may be another battle against Shangdang in the coming year. This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Guo.
The Qin army in the encirclement must be short of food and medicine, so that the Qin army can rush to break out of the encirclement. Only in this way can the Zhao army encircle and annihilate the Qin army when its combat strength is in danger due to lack of food. Only by completely wiping out this Qin army can Qin's covetousness for the Shangdang area be eliminated.
Now, it should have been two days since the Zhao army occupied the fourth gate. As Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi should have gotten some news more or less. Someone as smart as Bai Qi would naturally be able to guess his current situation from the clues very quickly. In this situation, Bai Qi would naturally know the importance of this batch of food to him and his Qin army. Bai Qi even ordered to seize the grain and fodder of the Wei army for his own use.
Therefore, the Qin army will not sit back and watch this batch of grain be burned. Once Lian Po ignited the grain, the Qin army would have to work hard to save the grain. This gave the Wei army time to delay and Lian Po the opportunity to escape.
And this is the reason why Lian Po dares to be the queen.
Everything is ready, and things are becoming more and more difficult to distinguish on the battlefield!
Under the threat of total annihilation, the Wei army burst out with an astonishing fighting spirit. Lord Ling knew that he would die if he didn't fight, so under the leadership of General Jin Bi, he also unleashed an astonishing fighting force. .
On the Qin Army's side, the fierce battles for several days have worn down the bodies of the Qin Army's soldiers. In addition, the news of the confiscation of grain and fodder spread like wildfire, which cast a shadow on the hearts of the Qin Army's soldiers. The crossbow carts and beds The lack of crossbow-powered heavy ordnance is more like the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Under this situation, the Qin army on the periphery was defeated by the Wei army.
However, Wang Lu didn't panic, because he knew that Bai Qi had been prepared. Even if the Wei army was lucky enough to break out, Wang Qi's troops waiting halfway would give them a surprise.
Of course, if you want to pass the level of his king, you can't do it without peeling off your skin.
Without any hesitation, facing the advancing Wei army, Wang Hao decisively moved all his reserve troops to the front line.
Suddenly, the arrow rain above Wei Jun's head became denser!
Jin Bi, who had just beheaded a Qin soldier, was panting heavily. When he looked up, he saw that an airtight rain of arrows was already coming.
Fortunately, the soldiers around him reacted quickly, with shields on the left and right, able to protect Jin Bi tightly before the arrows fell.
Even so, Jin Bi was inevitably injured: an arrow penetrated the gap in the shield and penetrated straight into it. Fortunately, at the last moment, Jin Bi turned sideways, and the arrow immediately pierced his left arm.
A sharp pain swept through his left arm.
Gritting his teeth, Jin Bi chopped off the arrow feathers exposed on his arm with a knife, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "The Qin army reserve team has been sent out. Please inform Lord Xinling quickly and ask him to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"Yes!" A soldier immediately agreed, then turned around and headed towards the rear formation.
"Hold on!" Jin Bi waved his sword again and roared at the soldiers and soldiers around him: "Hold on and you will win!"
Jin Bi knew that as long as he could withstand Qin
After this wave of counterattack by the army reserve force, when Lord Xinling's reinforcements arrive behind him, the situation on the battlefield will completely tilt to his side.
However, facing the surging force of the Qin army, Jin Bi knew the difficulties and kept thinking in his heart: "Your Majesty, you should hurry up!"
Perhaps he heard what Jin Bi was thinking, but after just a cup of tea, when Jin Bi was about to lose his strength and be forced to retreat by the Qin army, a large group of Wei troops from behind had already surged up to replace Jin Bi. Offensive front.
Obviously, this short time is not enough for the soldiers to rush back to the main formation.
This reinforcement was sent out on the initiative by Lord Xinling. Yes, Lord Xinling also noticed the intensity of the Qin Army's arrow rain, and immediately judged that the Qin Army had invested reserve forces, which meant that the Qin Army's counterattack was imminent.
Seeing that the front line was in danger, Lord Xinling, who was in charge of the central army, decisively invested his troops, even with his few remaining thousands of soldiers.
And Lord Xinling's hard work soon bore fruit.
The investment of the Qin army's large establishment did not achieve the desired results. Not only did the front line fail to be recovered, but several nodes were occupied by the ensuing Wei army.
Wang Hao knew that Wei Jun was completely desperate.
The Qin army is resisting here. Maybe it will be able to withstand the desperate attack of the Wei army after all, but the losses will definitely be considerable. Judging from Bai Qi's order on collecting grain and rationing distribution, I am afraid that something happened to Guanglang City and Jiepailing. , that is to say, this battle may not be the end.
Therefore, whether it is to save troops or to consider the possible follow-up battles, continuing to stick to the hard cap is obviously not the best choice.
It would be better to let the remnants of the Wei army go for a while and let Wang Qi's troops who were ambushing halfway to deal with them.
Just do what he said, and Wang Lu, who had made up his mind, quickly ordered to adjust the campaign objectives: not to stop the Wei army, but to kill as many Wei troops as possible.
The general issued the order, and the Qin army officers and soldiers under his command also understood it.
He immediately let go of Jin Bi and his soldiers, who had strong frontal combat power, and instead carried out piecemeal attacks on the Wei troops who were following them.
The Wei army that progressed slightly faster and broke away from the line was quickly divided and surrounded by the Qin army;
The progress was slightly slower, and the Wei army who stayed at the end was quickly swallowed up by the Qin army;
Even if the Wei army maintains its formation neither quickly nor slowly, the Qin army must create conditions with a counter-charge to reduce the Wei army's numbers. Many Qin troops even hid in the forest, allowing the stronger Wei troops in front to advance, and suddenly rushed out to deal with the weaker Wei troops that followed.
In a word, let go of the strong ones and attack the weak Wei army.
