The four armies of the Qin State were mobilized from Qinzhou and Sichuan. To reach the four front lines, they had to travel thousands of miles. Compared with the troops mobilized by the Ling State, the distance was much longer.
Although Lingguo's military intelligence is not as good as Qin's, it is still very fast. In terms of time, it is too late for Lingguo to deploy troops and garrison.
In other words, when Qin's four armies arrive at the front line, Ling's army can also arrive.
As soon as Cheng Ping finished speaking, Ling Commander Huang Zu stood up and agreed: "Master Cheng is right. Now Qin's four-pronged army has just set off from Qinzhou. We have time to complete the task." For those who are on war alert, Your Majesty should first issue an imperial edict and order the whole country to be on war alert, and then say anything else."
"Only by preventing the Qin army from advancing even an inch can there be room for diplomatic relations and discussion of war or peace."
"Well..." After listening to what he said, King Ling nodded in agreement and said: "In the opinion of the old general, regarding King Qin's strategic deployment, what should we do on these four fronts? Such troop deployment measures."
Huang Zudao: "I think we can deal with them one by one."
"Fuyang is close to the Yellow River Basin and was the original Huandi. It has great strategic significance. Once Fuyang is in danger, we will lose the northern barrier and the Qin army can cross the Yellow River and follow the water from north to south. Invasion."
"Therefore, 200,000 heavy troops should be deployed in the Fuyang area, especially in the Yellow River Basin. The important waterways must be controlled by our country, otherwise, there will be a risk of embezzlement."
"Yes." The Spirit King nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Huang Zu continued: "Now, according to the Qin army's large-scale troop deployment, we only know the four battle lines, and we have not yet found out where the King of Qin will appoint the commander. I think we should target Su Yi to death."
"This man is a famous general of the Qin State. He uses troops cunningly and is very good at attacking. He will be relied upon by the King of Qin to break through. Therefore, he must be in the most important place, which is Jingyang."
"Jingyang is the middle line of Qinling's border. Once the Qin army breaks through on a large scale from here and marches straight in, it is possible that our great spirit will be divided into two, and the north and south will not be connected, and then it will be completely shaken."
"Therefore, the Jingyang area also needs to be guarded by 200,000 heavy troops, and another general needs to go there."
The Spirit King nodded again.
Huang Zu continued: "On the contrary, the Dingyuan and Jianchang areas are not that important. Even if they are defeated, there is enough room for maneuver and it will not affect the overall situation."
His military strategy was clear at a glance. He detailed the four fronts and their overall impact on his own side. He considered Jingyang to be the most important and guessed that Su Yi must be there. It should be regarded as the first defensive position.
Fuyang is second.
Just defend Dingyuan and Jianchang without attacking.
In total, the Ling Kingdom also employs a total of 600,000 troops in the four theaters, namely 20, 20, 100,000, and 100,000 troops respectively.
After listening to what he said, the ministers in the palace couldn't help but start whispering to each other, and started discussing quietly with the people next to them.
King Ling looked around and said in a calm voice: "Do you have any doubts about General Huang's military strategy?"
Cheng Ping took the lead and said: "Old General Huang has not only rich experience in the military throughout his life, but also has unparalleled military strategies. I deeply agree with this strategy."
As soon as he finished speaking, other ministers also said in unison: "I have no doubt..."
"That's good!" King Ling stopped talking nonsense and immediately adopted Huang Zu's strategy and said loudly:
"Obey the order!"
"I will appoint Huang Zu as the first commander-in-chief, lead 200,000 troops, and rush to Jingyang! We must defeat the Qin army!"
"I obey the order!" Huang Zu immediately lifted his robe, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.
"Ren Bu Shuo is the commander-in-chief of Fuyang War Zone, leading 200,000 troops and rushing to the north!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Assign Wei Guang as the commander-in-chief of the Dingyuan War Zone and lead 100,000 troops to resist the Qin army!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Let Murong Yan be the commander-in-chief of the Jianchang War Zone and lead one hundred thousand troops to defend our country!"
"I obey the decree!"
An appointment directly selected the four commanders, Huang Zu and Bu Shuo. Needless to say, Wei Guang and Murong Yan, these two are also famous generals of the Ling Kingdom. Although they played very few games against Qin, , but in the original struggle for hegemony among the countries, it was someone who had made great military achievements, and was definitely not a loser.
After giving this order, the Spiritual King stood up again, looked around, and said with a glare:
"Today, I issue the emperor's first edict to defeat the traitors! Kill the violent Qin!"
On the Lingguo side, as the emperor's order was issued, the various armies began to mobilize quickly, and they were not carrying food, grass and baggage, but rushing everywhere, traveling day and night.
Their food and fodder will also arrive later.
Millions of troops from both countries are rushing to the front lines. It won't be long before war breaks out on all fronts.
A few days later, Huang Zubu.
Countless soldiers of the Spirit Army formed several long queues and were running forward.
The scene was filled with the sound of armor rubbing against each other.
Huang Zu was riding a war horse on one side of the middle of the team, walking at the same speed as the march.
In his hand, he also held a military map.
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard from ahead.
"Report~~~~"
The spies came on horseback, but before they arrived, they were already shouting.
Huang Zu also reined in the reins slightly.
The spy turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Huang, we just found out that Lichuan has been occupied by the Qin army."
"What did you say?" Huang Zu frowned. When he mobilized troops from home, the battle report from Jingyang had not yet arrived, so he did not know about it.
The spy repeated it again.
Huang Zu frowned even more tightly, waved his hand and said, "Explore again!"
"promise!"
After he left, General Yin Dian couldn't help but come over: "Huang Shuai, this is so strange. After Lichuan was in Jingyang, why was it suddenly occupied by the Qin army?"
Huang Zu glanced at him and said: "The main force of the Qin army has not arrived at the front line yet. This must be a small force secretly used to attack Lichuan in order to block the connection between our reinforcements and Jingyang. Go and deliver the order quickly." ! Let the soldiers speed up their pace! Try to reach Lichuan as soon as possible and open the main road, otherwise, Jingyang will be in danger."
With his experience and leadership ability, he immediately figured out the problem.
"Yes!" Yin Dian heard this and did not dare to neglect.
The 200,000 spirit troops began to quicken their pace and marched all the way. They still had three days to go, but in less than two days, they had arrived outside Lichuan.
Thirty miles away from the city gate, the army was exhausted from traveling for days. Huang Zu ordered a temporary camp for rest and recuperation. He called Yin Dian and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will lead the front army to test Lichuan." Virtual reality.”
Although we knew the importance of Lichuan, we had no choice but to attack the city with a tired army.
When Yin Dian heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and shouted, "No!"
As the Ling Army approached Lichuan, this military information had naturally reached Peng Shuang.
In the city, a captain said with some worry: "General, according to the intelligence reports, the spirit army stretches for dozens of miles, covering the sky and the earth, at least hundreds of thousands of people."
"What are you afraid of!" Peng Shuangyi glared: "The little thief of the Spirit Army is nothing more than a rat!"
