The flames are dancing, the earth is groaning, and the people are crying... You can blame the Wei army for causing all this, and you can despise Zhao, Han, and Chu for allowing all this, but this is war, no matter what A war that goes to all extremes.
And Wei Jun just wanted to add a weight to his victory. Was he wrong? If it is wrong, then it must be this era, this era where people cannibalize people.
The strong will rule, the weak will perish. This is the unchanging truth. Fortunately, after this suffocating despair, the Yulin guards and secret guards who had already lurked in Zhao began to play their role.
For these hundreds of thousands of people, Zhao's Yulin Guards and Secret Guards mobilized a large amount of manpower and spent a lot of material resources before they took root in Zhou Wangji's territory.
What they had to do was to tell the people around them: "Go to Zhao State and try your luck." Of course, their suggestion was not recognized by everyone at first. The reason was very simple. The Wei Jun who set the fire He is with the Zhao State. Wouldn't going to the Zhao State mean joining the enemy?
More importantly, they still have the slightest illusion in their hearts that Qin will not ignore them.
But, can Qin take care of it? Early the next morning, Wang Hao had received the news. But in the face of this conspiracy by the coalition forces, although Wang Lu was extremely angry, he seemed a little powerless.
He knew very well that once the coalition forces took action, it would not be just a few cities. I am afraid that the entire Zhou Dynasty's homeland would be within their attack range.
The entire homeland of the Zhou Dynasty! There are hundreds of thousands of people. You don't need to do calculations to know that Qin State cannot afford so many people.
What's more, Qin Guo gritted his teeth and took the burden this year. What about next year? The Qin State took the land for profit, but it was a waste of food and grass without seeing the benefit. How could the Qin State do anything about it?
Of course, in the final analysis, it was the Changping War that consumed too much of Qin's national power. Of course, it is not up to him to decide whether to save, how much to save, and how to save.
Immediately, Wang Lu sent another military report and delivered it to Xianyang by carrier pigeon. Unfortunately, no matter how fast the homing pigeon is, it still takes time, and the court's decision cannot be completed overnight.
Even Wang Lu didn't dare to express his position, let alone the temporary Qin managers stationed in those small towns.
Distribute food? That is absolutely impossible. As a result, the old people of the Zhou Dynasty who originally still had hope for the Qin Army gradually lost confidence and patience in the Qin State as they waited anxiously day after day.
Gradually, the desperate people began to pack their luggage and gradually marched towards the Kingdom of Zhao, whom they had heard about.
As for the battlefield, Wang Lu knew very well that the land of Zhou Wangji was flat, and it was included in the world, extending in all directions. It was almost impossible to stop them from burning food.
The only thing the Qin army can do is to find the right opportunity, explore its marching route, and then intercept and kill them halfway, which can be regarded as revenge against the coalition forces.
Naturally, the deployment of Han Zhiguo, which had long been targeted by King Qin and Fan Sui, became the key target of Black Ice Platform.
With almost no effort, Han Zhiguo's attack sequence was obtained by Qin's Black Ice Platform, and even the route the Korean army was preparing to march.
It's hard to say who is worth more than the lives of nearly a county's people in exchange for more than 10,000 Korean troops. In a blink of an eye, responsible
The "most dangerous" Wei army, who was working to burn grain to the east of King Ji of Zhou, returned to the camp. Except for a few soldiers who were knocked unconscious by the angry people, the entire Wei army did not suffer much losses.
Immediately afterwards, just as the Wei army was about to return to camp, the Chu army had already set off. In order to avoid the possibility of looting from various places, the deployment of the coalition forces is extremely compact.
Of course, in fact, the Qin army had ordered various places to immediately harvest autumn grain. However, due to poor transportation, the tragic situation in the east was not able to spread to various places at the first time, and all parts of the Zhou Dynasty were newly attached lands. Naturally, the orders of Qin were obeyed and disobeyed.
This is also the reason why the coalition forces dared to advance in batches. The generals of the Chu State who led troops into battle were still the vanguard generals of the past. It was not that the generals of the Chu State did not want to be replaced, but that the Chu State did not have many outstanding generals, and even fewer followed him.
He, the general, can't do it himself! He didn't want to take this risk, and there was no need to take it.
Fortunately, the Qin army already knew the order and direction of the various countries' troop dispatches. In order to continue to paralyze the enemy, the Qin army ignored the Wei army's food-burning operation.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the lack of food land in the south. Rather than expending troops to frighten the enemy, it would be better to endure the situation and focus the firepower on Han Zhiguo.
Therefore, when the Qin army set fire again, the Wei army also successfully and easily completed his arson mission.
Immediately afterwards, there is the country of Han. To be honest, the general of Han Zhiguo really regretted it.
You must know that the Qin army responded so slowly. He would definitely choose to be the first to attack, and he would also choose to be the second to attack again.
Judging from the current feedback, it is obvious that the later the attack is launched, the greater the possibility of encountering the Qin army. Of course, this is obviously an afterthought.
It's like drawing lots. The person who draws later always thinks that as the person in front fails to win and leaves, the probability of being drawn is higher than that of the person before him.
In fact, no matter when you arrange it, your probability of drawing is the same. Of course, the premise is that you are not given special treatment by the organizers.
But it is a pity that the country of Han was marked by Qin. But the general of Han Zhiguo knew nothing about it.
And the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu would not allow Han to go back on his word. In desperation, the general of Han Zhiguo could only order 10,000 soldiers and horses and handed them over to the deputy general.
Immediately, I was given many warnings and instructions: once I encounter the Qin army, even if it is only a small force, I must run away immediately and do not look back.
The lieutenant general also naturally understood that the troops and horses he brought were obtained by Han Zhiguo with great difficulty, and he was naturally aware of the pressure on him, so he nodded firmly in agreement.
However, whether the generals or lieutenants of Han Zhiguo still underestimated the Qin army a little too much.
When you saw the Qin Army, how could the Qin Army give you a chance to escape? On the winding mountain road, the Korean deputy general was shuttling quickly with more than 10,000 troops under his command.
Last night, they had successfully completed the task of setting fire to burn food. As long as they passed through this mountainous area, they would be able to return to the camp in a few hours.
This thrilling food-burning journey can come to an end without any danger. Thinking of this, the soldiers of Han's army also felt a burst of joy in their hearts, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace by two points.
But what no one knew was that in the valley ahead, 30,000 Qin troops led by Meng Ao had been waiting there all night.
Seeing the fires all around last night, the Qin army remained unmoved, in order to intercept and kill them on their way back when they were quite relaxed.
Speaking of the march of the Korean army, it was quite satisfactory. The scouting horse reports every ten miles: when there is a cliff tunnel, people must first climb to the top and signal with a specific whistle, so that the army can enter calmly; when there are mountain peaks and valleys, even if they are not steep, the exploring horses will be asked to go up the mountain to check first.
But in this way, the scouts would have a hard time inspecting the horses and the march would be slowed down! If Lian Po led the army, he would definitely not do so many bells and whistles.
You know, today's Han army is the kind that took out the Qin army's lair. Even if the Qin army has not arrived yet, it is definitely on the way to rescue. What is needed now is speed, and returning to the camp as soon as possible is the key.
More importantly, these roads have obviously been traveled the day before. According to common sense, the probability that the Qin army will ambush them within two days is very small. There is no point in checking again.
If you delay for an extra quarter of an hour, you will be more likely to encounter the Qin army, which is not worth the loss. It's a pity that the deputy general of the Korean army is obviously not as bold and careful as Lian Po.
Of course, you can't say that the Korean deputy general did anything wrong. At least, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
However, although the lieutenant general was familiar with military literature, he forgot a more important factor - people! They had set fire last night and had not slept all night. On the way back, they had to check everywhere. The few scouts were already exhausted.
Naturally, complaints gradually began to rise. Perhaps there was a captain who kindly tried to persuade us: "This road was explored two days ago. If the Qin army comes later, they will intercept our army instead of ambush us. Therefore, there is no need to be so nervous. You may be able to let the scouts rest for a while." ." can be
How could a lieutenant general who was regarded as "cautious" listen? What's more, before leaving, the general had repeatedly warned him to maintain the strength of his troops. Even if he was a little tired, it was better than falling into an ambush.
Therefore, the deputy general still goes his own way, just like the military manual. Since ancient times, there have always been policies from above and countermeasures from below.
As soon as they came to investigate, the detectives, who didn't even see a human hair, gradually became tired and impatient.
Then the whistles stopped coming from the mountain tops, and the valleys stopped being explored deeply. Sentence
"There is nothing wrong with the investigation ahead" was passed to the ears of the lieutenant general. And the 10,000 troops of Han Zhiguo are also saying
In "Nothing Different", we step onto the ladder to hell step by step. Finally, in front of that unremarkable valley, the deputy general was still waiting for Tan Ma's reply.
The setting sun gradually reflected on the deputy general's face, making his face red. The warm sunshine shone on the deputy general's body. The deputy general felt a burst of irritability in his heart, but he obviously did not take this sixth sense into his heart. I just thought that this irritability was not just the fatigue from the day's journey.
Just when the deputy general turned back to check the situation of the soldiers, the scout horse in front had already reported: "General, the valley ahead is clear." Hearing this, the Korean deputy general frowned slightly.
Without him, it’s too fast! He looked up at the rolling valley. It was obvious that such a long valley path was beyond the ability of this cup of tea to explore clearly.
But looking at the sweat dripping from the visitor's forehead, the deputy general also felt a little distressed for some reason. After all, these people were the ones who had the most trouble along the way.
Maybe we only explored a small section, but the problem shouldn't be big...
