"Send the order, siege chariots attack, cloud chariots advance, lightly clothed dead soldiers advance——!"
Yang Duanhe gave an order, and all 60,000 troops under his command moved together and pressed towards Handan City. Zhao Yan watched this scene and the pressure increased sharply.
Facing a 60,000-strong army pressing down on the territory, and an army that has been victorious in every battle, the terrifying momentum is enough to overwhelm a person's nerves.
Holding back the discomfort, Zhao Yan continued to issue military orders and organized the army to resist step by step. Arrows rained down, the army swarmed, and the sky and the earth were filled with black heads.
The northern army was attacking, and the messengers from the south arrived again, shouting at Huan Jue's messengers.
"Order from the General: Instruct the Southern Army shogunate, General Huanjue to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the south gate, and Li Xin to lead an army of 70,000 to circle from the south to the direction of the north gate. Remember to erase any traces."
"promise."
When Huan Yan heard the news, a sharp look appeared in his eyes. He understood Zhao Shu's thoughts almost instantly.
Gathering a large army to defeat Handan in one battle is indeed a feasible method.
With this thought, Huan Jue led the short soldiers towards the command chariot and replaced Li Xin: "Li Xin, immediately lead an army of 70,000 to the north gate to meet Yang Duanhe, erasing all traces during the march."
"promise."
When a military order is issued, a general must obey it.
Without any hesitation, Li Xin handed over the battlefield to Huan Jue, and then disappeared on the vast battlefield.
At the same time, on the Tianqiong Mountain, the messengers sent news and rushed towards Zhao Shu, saying: "General, the scouts sent news that both the northern and southern armies were at war, and the offensive in Beicheng was extremely fierce, but Zhao Jun's counterattack was somewhat Weak.”
"Li Xin of the Southern Army is leading the army in a roundabout way and will be outside the North Gate in two days."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu's expression did not change. He knew these things well: "It seems that Guo Kai is still holding on and does not let Lian Po fight."
"This is a good thing for us. Send an order to the Northern Army to replace Yang Duanhe with Xin Sheng to give Zhao Army a chance to breathe."
"Send orders to the east and west gates at the same time. If we encircle the two gates without attacking them, we will inevitably contain the two Zhao armies and not relax."
"promise."
Fen nodded, and then passed the news to the messenger. At this time, Zhao Shu was more calm than before. It was obvious that Zhao Shu had grown the fastest during this period of time.
An hour later, the messenger rushed to the Northern Army shogunate again: "The general has an order: Order, Northern Army, let Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng replace each other to give Zhao Army a chance to breathe."
"promise."
Xin Sheng nodded in agreement, and then replaced Yang Duanhe, gradually changing the army's offensive. Both of them knew what Zhao Shu meant.
Once the attack is too urgent and the Zhao army cannot resist, it is very likely that Lian Po will be released. Zhao Shu did this in order to give the Zhao army the illusion that the Qin army was nothing more than this.
In the city of Handan, in Lian Po's house.
Although Lian Po went to the field, he was not imprisoned. He naturally got the news of the Qin army's attack on the city, and news continued to come from his confidants, so he conducted military campaigns on the sand table.
"The Northern Army attacked first, and two hours later, the Southern Army attacked, and then the Northern Army attacked with the main force, and the Southern Army continued like this."
Lian Po looked at the sand table with his old eyes, and said in a faint tone: "Now, the main force of the Northern Army has been withdrawn, and only the partial troops are attacking. Moreover, there are Qin troops outside the east and west city gates, but they are not attacking."
"There is something strange outside the south gate. The actions of the Qin army seem to be scattered, but in fact there are people controlling everything behind the scenes. As the war continues, the magnitude and frequency of attacks from the north and the south have become consistent."
"Liancang, immediately send someone to verify the movement and number of the Qin army outside the south gate, and ask the garrison in the city to send more scouts to find out the Qin army's movement."
Lian Po looked ugly and turned towards Lian Cang and said, "Tell Guo Kai that I want to see him and Lord Chunping."
"promise."
Watching Lian Cang leave, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Lian Po's mouth. He could clearly feel that behind Qin Jun, there was a big hand controlling everything.
If this continues, Handan City will be in danger.
For Zhao Guo, he did not care about any cost, even if he bowed to Guo Kai.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Lian Cang arrived, Guo Kai was having a banquet with Lord Chunping, and he heard his elders coming in a hurry and said to Guo Kai.
"Prime Minister, the elders of Lian Po's house came here and said that Lian Po wanted to see the Prime Minister and Lord Chunping."
Hearing this, Guo Kai frowned and said to his elder, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know, I just heard from my elder that General Lian Po is in the army, and then he wants to see the Prime Minister and Lord Chunping." The elder said quickly and respectfully.
Guo Kai and Chunping Jun looked at each other, pondered for a long time, and said, "I understand. Invite Old General Lian Po over."
"promise."
A quarter of an hour later, Lian Po rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, nodded towards Guo Kai and Chunping Jun, and said: "The war outside the city has changed. I feel that someone is secretly controlling the war situation."
"The Qin army's attack seemed to be scattered, but in fact it was actually involved. The northern and southern armies started attacking in different directions, but now they are unified."
Lian Po said to Guo Kai and Chunping Jun: "I suspect that someone is commanding the Qin army from the north and the south at the same time, trying to conquer Handan in one fell swoop."
"Besides Wang Jian, the only person in Qin who can do this is Meng Tian."
"Now that Wang Jian is confronting Lord Wu An at Jingxing Pass, I suspect that Meng Tian secretly entered the city of Handan. The Qin army is imitating Bai Qi's story."
After saying that, Lian Po glanced at Guo Kai and Chun Pingjun and said, "This is all I have to say, take my leave!"
Watching Lian Po leave, Guo Kai turned to Lord Chunping and said, "What do you think of Lian Po's words?"
"Prime Minister, Lian Po is loyal to the State of Zhao and is a famous general who has experienced many battles. Nine times out of ten, what he said is true."
Lord Chunping also looked ugly at this moment. As a member of King Zhao's family, he naturally knew that he would be the most dangerous once the city was broken.
"Prime Minister, should we pay more attention and send scouts to investigate the Qin army's movements?"
Hearing this, Guo Kai nodded and said to Lord Chunping, "I am stationed in Handan City. You should immediately send scouts to verify this matter."
"I will ask Han Cang to assist you. You must confirm whether Meng Tian is outside Handan City."
"promise."
Watching Lord Chunping leave, Guo Kai looked ugly. He somewhat believed in Lian Po, but he had to be on guard, after all, he was at odds with Lian Po.
Once Lian Po and others seize the opportunity and seize the military power in Handan, he will have no choice but to die.
The closer to the edge of danger, the calmer Guo Kai becomes. He needs to test it. After all, Handan is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhao Guo is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Although Yang Duanhe defeated Wu'an, captured Xindu, and cut off Jingxing Pass and Handan, the situation in Zhao State was not largely lost.
It's just that Li Mu in Jingxingguan is under greater pressure.
