Although in Zhao Kuo's calculations, there should be enough time to attack Daliang, Zhao Kuo still tried his best to urge the army to advance quickly.
However, even so, the temporary diversion still took Zhao Jun several days to enter Wei territory.
Fortunately, the war in Daliang had already started burning before Zhao Kuo's army arrived.
Without him, Tian Dan, who received the message from Fei Ge, didn't delay at all. He didn't even wait for the army from Huaisi County to finish gathering towards him, and rushed towards him with the 35,000 troops already gathered in Dong County. Beam.
Obviously, Tian Dan, who had experienced many battles, had smelled the danger from Zhao Kuo's orders.
Although Zhao Kuo did not mention the loss of Zhi City in his order in order not to affect the morale of the army, how could Tian Dan, as a veteran general, not know that the king would never let himself give up the defense of Qi State unless it was a last resort? , all troops were transferred to Daliang.
Combined with the Wei army's appearance at the border the day before yesterday, Tian Dan almost instantly judged that the Wei army must have participated in the war, and that it was the kind where the whole country participated in the war, and had even captured important cities on the western front. This forced the king to "encircle Wei and save Zhao" ”.
Only under such circumstances will the king let himself lead his army to attack Daliang.
And now that the entire Wei army has launched an attack, there is only one thing he has to do, which is to do his best to lead his army to Daliang City.
Therefore, while Tian Dan ordered the Huaisi County army to gather towards him, he led the troops from Dongjun County and rushed into the territory of Wei.
The journey from Dongjun to Daliang, the capital of Wei, is much shorter than the journey from Zhao Kuo.
Within three days, Tian Dan arrived at Daliang City with his troops, horses and even a large number of siege equipment.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo here had just set foot on the Wei border, and the carrier pigeons sent by Daliang for help had already fallen into the hands of Lord Xinling of Zhi City in a steady stream.
The reason is simple. Although Zhao Kuo's main force has not yet arrived, after arriving in Daliang and confirming that there were not many troops stationed in the city, Tian Dan launched an attack on Daliang without hesitation.
But under this attack, the huge Daliang City became really dangerous.
Fortunately, King Wei sent thousands of his palace guards to the city tower in time, and the defense of the city wall was barely maintained.
Perhaps it was the aura of subjugation that made King Wei wake up. Seeing the menacing Zhao army, King Wei could be said to have shown staggering wisdom.
While organizing the aristocratic families in the city to contribute their young men to defend the city, Fei Ge sent a letter ordering Lord Xinling to return immediately for rescue.
Yes, ordering Lord Xinling to return for rescue was still a wise decision.
At least, from the perspective of Wei State and the position of King Wei, this is the wisest decision.
Even if this decision will lead to the defeat of the Qin army, only in this way can Wei State avoid the fate of being subjugated, and he can also avoid being killed.
Without him, King Wei knew very well that the real elite soldiers in the city plus his own palace guards were only six to seven thousand people. Even if all the aristocratic families in the city poured their money into help, they would probably not be able to gather 20,000 people.
It is simply impossible to face tens of thousands of troops outside the city.
Moreover, the tens of thousands of troops in front of them should be nothing more than the vanguard of the Zhao army.
However, King Xinling of Zhi City was really surprised by King Wei's order.
Lord Xinling couldn't figure it out. According to the intelligence, Zhao Kuo's army, which was still in Zhao State two days ago, and even divided its troops to go to Yewang City, why did it suddenly arrive in Daliang?
Will they still be able to fly?
Lord Xinling really hoped that this information was false, but looking at the hidden message on the letter, it was clearly written by King Wei!
And the scenes described in the silk books are not fabricated at all!
Just when Lord Xinling was suspicious, Lord Xinling also noticed a detail in the scene. The name of the big book was: Tian.
Tian surname?
Lord Xinling had already thought of Tian Dan stationed in Dongjun without any effort?
Could it be that it was not Zhao Kuo's army that arrived in Daliang, but Tian Dan from Dongjun?
That shouldn't be the case. Tian Dan only has tens of thousands of troops over there. If they are all brought to Daliang, isn't he afraid that Qi will also join the fight?
Just as Lord Xinling was puzzled, the latest information soon arrived. Zhao Kuo's army had indeed not reached Daliang yet, and had just entered Wei territory.
In this way, Lord Xinling no longer has to guess. Tian Dan, who was stationed in Dongjun, must have led his army to the west.
For a moment, Lord Xinling felt dizzy.
I have to admit that Zhao Kuo does have a heart and courage that is difficult for ordinary people to do.
Zhao Kuo doesn't want the 300,000 troops here?
Don’t you want Dongjun, Huaisi County, and Jibei County over there?
Are you so sure that Tian Dan can end the battle to destroy the beam before the front line is cut off?
Are you so sure that Qi State really won't act upon the news? That is a land of several counties and a territory of thousands of miles!
A series of emotions and questions almost filled Lord Xinling's mind, but soon, Lord Xinling pushed all these thoughts out of his mind.
Because none of this matters anymore. What matters is what you should do.
Should he return to his profession, or should he continue to wait and see what happens?
Returning to the army may not save Daliang. Even if Daliang is saved, once Zhao opens the grain road, Qin's offensive will fail.
What's even more terrible is that once the Zhao army took advantage of the opportunity to save Daliang from the entanglement with Tian Dan's troops, he turned west again and joined forces with the army in Yingchuan County to launch a counterattack against the Qin army. Qin would lose this decisive battle.
And once Qin loses, Wei's own country will only be destroyed for two years.
Why don't you go back to school?
There are at most 20,000 people in Daliang City to defend the city, and their combat power is still at a third-rate level. They cannot hold out for long under Tian Dan's men. Not to mention, Zhao Kuo still had an army of 100,000 men.
I'm afraid that when Zhao Kuo's army arrives at the city, it will take less than two days to break the city.
And once Daliang City is broken and the King of Wei is captured, the Kingdom of Wei will also be dead!
Once Wei falls, Zhao Jun can even use the food in Daliang City to be sent directly to Yingchuan, which will only take a day or two at most.
At the same time, Wei's land will also become a solid food route for Zhao's army, and Zhi City, which he worked so hard to capture, will instantly become worthless.
In fact, if Zhao Jun surrounded Zhi City again, he would be the one who would run out of food.
Thinking of this, Lord Xinling suddenly realized that the battle situation that had been a good one just now had turned into a losing situation in the blink of an eye.
For the Wei State, it was just the difference between losing the country earlier and losing the country later.
This is really unacceptable to Lord Xinling.
Obviously he had calculated so accurately, he had obviously been so careful, but why did he still let Zhao Kuo break the situation so easily.
It should be said that such a situation is absolutely unacceptable to anyone.
Between the ups and downs, he might even go crazy.
Fortunately, although several battles did not allow Lord Xinling and Wei to gain too much advantage, at least Lord Xinling's psychological quality was tempered.
After a short period of distraction, Lord Xinling was already immersed in the map on the desktop again.
"Since Zhao Kuo can show off his tricks, he can do it too!" Lord Xinling tried to cheer himself up in his heart.
It's a pity that Zhao Kuo was able to show off his tactics because he still had cards in his hand, but Lord Xinling had already played all the cards in his hand.
After pondering for a long time, Lord Xinling finally realized that he seemed to have no third choice at all.
In other words, he never had a second choice.
Returning to school is his inevitable outcome.
Without him, the King of Wei would not allow himself not to return to the army, and the soldiers of Wei would not allow themselves not to return to the army.
Although his prestige in the army has grown in recent years, it is obvious that King Wei does not have no confidants in the army.
At such a critical time, King Wei would not just give himself a
The king's order comes. And once you receive the king's order but don't take any action, I'm afraid someone will immediately take the king's order and take you down.
Even at this time, the news that Zhao Jun soldiers were surrounding Daliang had already spread within the army. Once the army knew that Daliang was in danger, even with its own prestige, it might not be able to control the fierce military situation. ..
Returning to the army was what most of the soldiers desperately wanted, and Lord Xinling was powerless to stop it.
However, although there is no chance of winning this war with his return, it does not mean that Zhao will definitely win!
Soon, Lord Xinling had preliminary ideas in his mind.
Immediately, Lord Xinling also found the chief general of the Qin army, and then told the whole story about Zhao Jun's current actions and the crisis in Daliang.
The Qin army's general was obviously not a fool, and he immediately understood Lord Xinling's intention.
However, as a member of the Qin army, he knew the importance of Zhi City now. Even if he had to persuade Lord Xinling to hold on for a few more days, the Zhao army on the front line might collapse in a few days.
Lord Xinling shook his head slightly and said: "Since Zhao Kuo dares to take risks, he must have a good plan. Wait a few days, maybe the Zhao army on the front line has not collapsed, and the Wei army under me will collapse first."
Hearing this, the Qin army's general was immediately speechless.
Obviously, having been with Wei Jun for more than a month, Qin Jun's general also knew what Wei Jun was like. If they really knew that Daliang was besieged but did not come back to help, I am afraid that many people would really desert and leave.
After some silent calculations, the Qin army's general insisted: "The general wants to leave Zhi City, and I can't stop him. However, the order I received is to occupy Zhi City and cut off the Zhao army's food route. Please forgive me for not being able to follow." General, leave."
Lord Xinling had already expected the Qin Army's general's persistence, and he had no intention of taking the Qin Army away with him. Moreover, if the Qin army is blocked here, it can be considered as the queen for himself, and Lord Xinling is also happy.
Of course, Lord Xinling called Qin Jun here, but he didn't ask him whether he should stay or leave.
"After our army leaves, the Zhao army is bound to counterattack." Lord Xinling nodded and agreed to General Pi's request, and then continued: "General, please inform your Majesty, Wang Lu and General Meng Ao as soon as possible. For this reason Winning is no longer possible, undefeated is victory. Of course, if..."
