Bai Qi would rather believe that this is an army of his own wearing the flag of the Zhao army. However, let alone where to get the uniforms of a hundred thousand troops, what is the meaning of this disguise?
But, Zhao Jun?
Zhao Jun!
Wasn't Zhao Jun crying for his father and mother after being beaten by him? Wasn't he almost wiped out by him? Why is he suddenly surrounded by himself?
Zhao Jun's losses, the corpses on the battlefield cannot lie! Where did Zhao Jun conjure up an army of 100,000? Can we still spread the beans and form an army?
For a moment, even Bai Qi, who was known as the number one general in the Warring States Period, was a little confused.
"Have you ever fought with him?" Bai Qi asked unwillingly.
"When the Zhao troops from the three places saw our troops coming, they all went out of the city to pursue our troops. Judging from their fighting methods, there was no doubt that the Zhao troops were at that time." The scout captain obviously understood what Bai Qi wanted to ask, and immediately cut off Bai Qi's last trace. hope.
"How is the strength of the troops?" Bai Qi did not feel depressed again. Instead, he cheered up and continued to study strategies to defeat the enemy.
It's not that Bai Qi figured out where Zhao Jun came from, it's just that Bai Qi knew that if he still wanted to survive with his army, he had to think about how to disappear that damn Zhao Jun.
"This." The scout captain was obviously a little embarrassed. After all, the investigation time was too short and the enemy was in the pass. It was indeed difficult to find out the specific strength of the troops.
"Approximately how many people are there on the city barrier?" Bai Qi also knew that the specific information would not be available for a while, but what he wanted to do now was not a quantitative arrangement, but a qualitative analysis.
After Bai Qi's prompt, the scout captain immediately knew what the information he wanted was, and immediately replied: "There are no less than five thousand soldiers stationed on the city wall on Jiepai Ridge; as for Guanglang City and Danshui Barrier , the general's subordinates advanced along the road, and the troops were deployed quite densely, probably no less than tens of thousands."
"That's not a bluff!" Bai Qi said silently in his heart.
Then Bai Qi stood up, came to the hanging map, and thought about it carefully:
Although I don’t know where Zhao Jun got another 100,000 troops, the reality is such that there is no other way but to accept it. However, this army came from the State of Zhao, which explains why the opponent clearly had an absolute advantage in strength, but did not use it to encircle and annihilate it. Instead, he used tactics to add fuel to the fire, allowing himself to repel the State of Wei in vain.
Because if Wei Guo knew that Zhao Guo still had some remaining strength, he would definitely not be willing to send troops, but would wait until Zhao Jun and our army fight until both sides suffer losses.
Zhao Guo's idea should be to use the previous siege of 400,000 troops to deceive reinforcements from the Wei army, and then use the Wei army as the main force to engage in a war of attrition with our army, thereby taking advantage of the situation. It was a pity that the Wei army was too weak, so Zhao Jun had to tear off his mask and rejoin the battlefield.
That should be the case...
It has to be said that Bai Qi is still the same Bai Qi. With just a flag, he has already deduced what happened.
Now that we know it, we should be able to break it!
Bai Qi's complexion gradually improved.
Now that the army's combat strength is at a critical stage, coupled with the lack of food and fodder, there is no intention to fight again, and the priority should be to preserve its strength. The green hills are left without worries of no firewood, and they can no longer quarrel with Zhao Jun. Now it's not that Zhao Jun can't fight, it's that Da Qin can't fight anymore.
I just want to break through, but it's very difficult now!
Bai Qi's fingers immediately began to gently rub the map.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the Alchemy Barrier to the east. It is contrary to the direction of our Great Qin. The further we go, the more desperate we will become.
Take the North Road to Zuomaling and then go around Danzhuling? no.
Not to mention that climbing up the mountain will consume a lot of energy and the consumption of food and fodder will also increase, and today's food and fodder cannot support this long detour. What's even more troublesome is that the Zhao army has just broken out from the north. Even if their combat strength is critical, they should number in the tens of thousands. As long as they block the few exits, their hundreds of thousands of troops will have to survive. Starved to death in the mountains and forests of Zoumaling.
Attack the light wolf city barrier to the west? My family knew about their own affairs, and most of their wealth was abandoned in Guanglang City. There were people at almost every pass.
With the bed crossbow guards and the ample food and ordnance in them, as long as the Zhao army wanted to defend it, it would not be a problem for them to defend it for a year and a half.
What's more, even if they are lucky enough to break through Guanglang City at a huge cost, Zhao Jun can retreat to Kongcang Territory. Even if I were the general of Zhao Army, I would have already sent troops to seize the defense line of Kongcang Territory.
Given the current situation in the military, it is already an almost impossible task to break through Light Wolf City. And after breaking through Light Wolf City, do you have to quickly move dozens of miles and climb mountains to pretend to attack Kongcang Territory?
Bai Qi shook his head. Although he had great confidence in the Qin army under his command, that was not how soldiers were used.
After going around in a circle, there is only one place left - go south and attack Jiepai Ridge.
But that’s Jiepailing! Jiepailing is known as a natural hazard. Although the Zhao army probably did not have a large army deployed like a fortress at Jiepailing, the natural danger has always been so steep that one man can't break it. If he attacks the dangerous place with such an exhausted army, the result is self-evident.
It can be said that, except for the east side, which is completely impossible to choose because the journey is in the opposite direction, the difficulty of breaking through on the other three sides is almost hell-level, either through mountains and ridges, strong city defenses, or natural dangers There are even several unfavorable factors at the same time. It's hard to tell which of the three places is easier.
Some people ask why the Qin army didn't imitate the Wei army and sneak away. This makes you look down on Lian Po more or less. You know, it was Lian Po who led the Wei army to the battlefield! Would Lian Po not be prepared for the Qin army to make such a move?
The reason why the Wei army was able to sneak in was because the Qin army never thought that any country would dare to participate in this battle, so Lian Po dared to boldly intervene. The Qin army in Daliang went to encircle it, which also led to the lack of defenders of the barrier. This gave Wei Jun a chance;
As for the Wei army's ability to sneak across and escape, the most important factors were firstly the absence of the main force of the Qin army, and secondly the sudden heavy rain. The presence of Lian Po and the burning of grain and fodder successfully attracted the main force of the Qin army to the central battlefield, without even thinking about the Wei army behind them. The small Qin army that was chasing the Wei army also lost trace of the Wei army due to heavy rain.
Once the Qin army wants to go south along the Danshui River, the Danshui barrier is now full of people, guarding this waterway. What will the Qin army do if they attack halfway across the river? Are you waiting for the entire army to be wiped out?
No general with any sense would take such a risk.
Soon, Bai Qi judged with great frustration: He couldn't attack with just his own fighting strength. Since he can't attack it by himself, he needs the King of Qin outside to open a door for him.
And if he had to choose where to open the door, Bai Qi looked around and then hit it hard...
