"Okay, generals, go back and prepare for war. We will take action tonight! I will definitely burn the enemy's army to ashes." Wei Qing clenched his fists and pressed them against the desk.
"I'll wait for the order!"
All the generals bowed down one after another.
No matter what, if Lingu is burned, as long as Huernu's army is completely lost, the Liao Kingdom will not be able to withstand such a huge loss no matter what.
From the early days of the founding of the Liao Kingdom to the present, countless soldiers have died in battles in their own country.
All men in the country have been expropriated long ago. At this time, the majority of the people in the Liao Kingdom are old, weak, women and children.
Recently!
It’s also because it’s the time when the heat is at its strongest! Wei Qing's army naturally did not act so frequently against the Liao soldiers.
This also led Hu Ernu to believe that Wei Qing's troops wanted to postpone the battle until mid-September or October, when the weather was getting colder, before launching an attack on Lingu.
Liao army outpost!
"How is it, Wei Qing's army, is there anything going on?"
Hu Ernu has been a little restless recently and has to patrol the outpost every day.
"Wei Qing's army, as usual, did not make any movements."
the sentry replied.
"Um!"
Hu Ernu breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Wuyan Yu, the Qin army's laborious expedition and logistical supplies are their biggest problem. It won't be long before they retreat!"
This is what happens in a war. The front line is too long and supplies cannot keep up, which is the most fatal thing.
"What General Hu Ernu said is that as long as the Qin army retreats, we will have a chance to fight back and regain the lost territory." Wu Yanyu agreed.
But both of them knew in their hearts that the current Qin State was at its peak, and its country had reached an unprecedented peak. After the destruction of the Yan State, the only remaining Liao State was also unable to survive alone.
Today, it is unusually quiet.
The Liao army camp was no different from the past.
Each battalion of Wei Qing's army has received the order to attack, and the whole army is secretly preparing for war.
night!
Wei Qing gathered all the generals in the army.
"Generals, in tonight's battle, even if the enemy army cannot be completely wiped out, the Liao army will suffer heavy losses."
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
Wei Qing's face was extremely serious, and there was a bit of Dongfang Yu in his appearance.
He took out an order arrow and said, "Order, Pan Zhang and Wu Zhong, lead an army of 50,000 people, surround the enemy's right wing, and use the frontal fire as a signal to assist the attack."
Pan Zhang and Wu Zhong stepped out to the left and right, received the command arrows, raised their voices and clasped their fists, saying: "The last general takes orders!"
Then, return to the queue.
Wei Qing took out another command arrow and said, "Order! Wei Tong and Liu Kai will lead an army of 50,000 to surround the enemy's left flank and use the frontal fire as a signal to assist the attack."
Wei Tong and Liu Kai stepped out to the left and right, received the command arrows, raised their voices and clasped their fists, saying: "The last general takes orders!"
Then, return to the queue.
After the left and right military orders were issued, Wei Qing's eyes were on Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
"Order! General Meng Tian is the vanguard general. General Meng Yi and Li Xiaozhi are the vanguard deputy generals. They will lead a frontal attack of 150,000 troops with generals Luo Qingsheng, Huang Fu, Long Yue and Zhao Bing."
"This battle is a frontline battle. General Meng Tian is fully responsible for how to arrange the troops."
When Meng Tian saw this, he immediately took the order.
"The last general takes command!"
The other generals also took orders one after another.
"I, General Bai Qi, and General Xu Rong will be sitting in the rear, waiting for good news from you."
As a general, he should be in charge of the central army. Charge into battle is what the generals under their command should do.
"Please rest assured, three commanders. Just relying on the drums, urns, and golden hammers in the hands of the generals will definitely smash the enemy's troops and leave them with nowhere to escape."
At this time, Li Xiaozhi's condition improved instantly. The latter was simply a war madman.
"Um!"
Wei Qing nodded slightly.
The generals immediately withdrew from the tent, and the time for action was set at twelve o'clock tonight.
The army's artillery battalion and crossbow battalion are already in place.
Night is falling!
The three armies have arrived at the designated location.
At the forefront of Lingu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi led an army of 150,000 people and lined up in order.
"General Mengtian, when the fire starts intensifying later, I would like to lead an assault and seize the enemy's central camp directly." Li Xiaozhi took the initiative to request the order.
"General Li, lead an attack with 10,000 troops." Meng Tian said.
In the entire integrated Northern Conquest Army, Li Xiaozhi was a rare strong general. He could charge into battle, break out camps and occupy strongholds. It was most appropriate for Li Xiaozhi to entrust these tasks to Li Xiaozhi.
In the forest, the actions of the three armies naturally alerted the Liao soldiers patrolling in the forest.
"What's going on? Could it be another small group of enemy troops from the Qin Army, operating in the forest?" Outside the Liao Army camp, the patrolling soldiers suddenly heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the branches, and they suddenly became alert.
"It's nothing! Since the Qin army came to Lingu, they have sent out small groups of troops every night to harass our army. Don't worry too much." The young commander in charge signaled everyone to relax.
They would not know that the large army of soldiers and horses led by Meng Tian had already entered the forest.
Bang bang bang~
It was at this moment that the crisp sound of artillery firing resounded through the sky.
Artillery shells were flying in the sky towards the enemy's camp.
The patrolling Liao soldiers immediately turned their heads and looked at Kongji.
They couldn't see the cannons, but they found rockets shooting from all over the sky.
The rockets were so densely packed that it seemed like the entire sky was covered by the rockets.
Oh my God! They have never seen such a shocking scene since they were in the army.
"Quick, find cover."
The eyes of the Liao patrols were filled with fear. Under such a dense firepower group, not even flies could escape!
The next second!
The roar of artillery continued, and countless shells exploded on the ground, causing dust to fly. This carpet bombing instantly reduced the wooden wall built by the Liao soldiers to crumbs.
The soldiers in his camp had no way to hide, and the shells were blown away in all directions, with body fragments and mud flying everywhere.
"enemy……"
The patrolling soldiers were instantly shot to the ground by arrows before they could react.
The Liao soldiers in the camp were still wearing their armor, but before they could get up, the arrows, which were like raining down, were shot directly from the top of the camp.
A large number of the Liao soldiers inside fell down, and they were all shot to death in the camp before they could get out in time.
Just as the first wave of rockets fell, the next wave of arrows continued to shoot over.
Next!
The Qin troops on the left and right wings also began to fire.
Dry firewood had long been piled around and sprinkled with kerosene.
When dry wood meets the flame, for a moment! It immediately started burning rapidly.
Now is the peak season, and the wind in the northern grasslands is extremely strong. When the flames are lit, they are like beasts swallowing the sky.
At this moment, it is a good season for southeasterly winds.
When the strong wind blew, the entire Liao army camp was on fire.
