862. Pingyang Slope

"No, let Wu Zixu go, just to see the strength of the vanguard legion!"

"Your Majesty, the vanguard legion built at a great expense has not been on the expedition so far, and today I want to see if this vanguard legion is worth this value!" Qi Jie looked at Feng Tan and said.

Feng Tan nodded: "Then I'll contact Wu Zixu and ask him to lead a large army to attack the sand dunes!" ”

The Qin State entered the army of 500,000, and the Qi State also invested a lot of money in order to seize the Dai Land, Qi Tang sat in the town of Dai Di, and the vanguard army of the Qi State had also entered the Dai Land from Luoyang.

The current Daidi is not so much controlled by Zhao Zhang, but by the Qi State, which has now occupied a large part of the Daidi territory without spending a single soldier, while Zhao Zhang only has a small part of the Daidi territory.

Five days later, Wu Zixu led a 100,000-strong vanguard army to launch a surprise attack on the sand dunes, shocking Zhao He's forces.

Zhao Cheng learned that the sand dunes were attacked, and had to send a part of the army back to help the sand dunes, he thought that the Qi State would be a bystander, and he only needed to deal with Zhao Zhang, but he didn't expect the Qi State to raid the sand dunes.

Dune City was already in chaos, and the general defending the city inside, looking at the black and oppressive Qi army outside the city, he touched his head and felt a pain.

"This hateful Qi country actually attacked the sand dunes!" The general defending the city said angrily.

"General, what are we going to do?" A soldier asked, looking at the general defending the city.

Fight to the death? Looking at the black and oppressive Qi army, I am afraid that it will not take three days for the city to be broken, he is waiting for Zhao Cheng's reinforcements, Zhao Cheng's reinforcements have arrived, so he can fight with Wu Zixu, otherwise with his dune garrison army, it is not enough to fight at all.

Although there are 50,000 troops stationed in the dunes, most of them are logistics support troops and logistics brigades that transport granaries.

And the one in front of him, wearing white armor and holding a shield and a sword, is the 'Vanguard Legion', a new legion of the Qi Kingdom.

The Pioneer Legion is a legion composed of sword and shield soldiers as the core, named Vanguard, which means to charge, so most of the soldiers of the Vanguard Legion wear shields.

Even the spearmen wore shields, and the 100,000 vanguard legions commanded by Wu Zixu consisted of 50,000 sword and shield soldiers, 20,000 cavalry, and 30,000 sword and spear soldiers.

Wu Zixu looked at the battle report in his hand at this time: "Zhao Cheng returned with 50,000 troops to help, but there is a general to intercept?" ”

At this time, a young general in black armor stood up: "20,000 cavalry is enough to intercept this Zhao Cheng and strike him a hard blow!" ”

"Luo Xin, then I'll leave it to you, you can only succeed, you can't fail!" Wu Zixu looked at Luo Xin and said.

Luo Xin is a soldier of Wu Di who follows Wu Zixu, and most of Wu Zixu's side follow Wu Di's disciples, which is a small core of Wu Zixu.

Because they are all from Wudi, in the general environment of Qi State, they report to the group for warmth and take care of each other.

Because Wu Di is the residence of the Jiang family, Wu Zixu is friendly with the Jiang family to protect the peace of Wu Di, hoping that the Jiang family can protect Wu Di well.

"No!" Luo Xin clenched his fists and said.

The vanguard corps is a corps formed in Luoyang, which is composed of two forms of armies, the garrison army and the standing army, one is used to defend Luoyang, and the other is used to attack other places in Luoyang.

This time, the Qi State sent 600,000 troops to enter Daidi, and there were 200,000 people in the vanguard legion, as well as the Northern Hebei Army in Yandi, and the Northern Hebei Heavy Cavalry.

Wu Zixu stayed behind the 100,000 vanguard legions to garrison the Daidi city, and he commanded the 100,000 legions to attack the sand dunes, of course, the reason why he commanded 100,000 was because the 100,000 soldiers and horses marched fast. 、

In fact, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, only 80,000 soldiers and horses were fighting, of which 20,000 sword and shield soldiers were used for logistics and transportation.

Because cavalry was not needed in siege warfare, Wu Zixu handed over all the cavalry to Luo Xin.

For Luo Xin and Wu Zixu, he is still very important, but Luo Fangshi is alive, and Wu Zixu believes that with 20,000 soldiers and horses, he can break this Zhao Cheng army.

However, he also knew the strategy of Qi State, his purpose was only to intercept Zhao Cheng, and he did not intend to kill Zhao Cheng and destroy Zhao Cheng, who would deal with Zhao Zhang?

"Remember, you only need to intercept Zhao Cheng, you don't need to kill him, just repel and defeat him, get the information that we have broken through the sand dunes, and immediately return to the sand dunes!" Wu Zixu looked at Luo Xin and said.

He was worried that Luo Xin wanted to make meritorious contributions when he was young, and he was fighting fiercely with Zhao Cheng, but once he hit Zhao Cheng hard, or killed Zhao Cheng, it was not in the interests of the Qi State.

"No!" Luo Xin clenched his fists and said.

Then Wu Zixu waved his hand and let him go.

Zhao Cheng led his soldiers and horses to the sand dunes overnight......

The next day, Luo Xin collided with Zhao Cheng's army with cavalry, Zhao Cheng's army was a long and rapid march, and Luo Xin was waiting for the rabbit, he knew that Zhao Cheng would arrive here, so when he learned how long Zhao Cheng would have to arrive at this place, he ordered the army to storm.

Zhao Cheng knew that there was an interception force of the Qi army ahead, but what could he do if he knew it, so he could only face it head-on.

Because he had to hurry, Zhao Cheng's army was in a hurry, so his war horses and army were very tired, and Luo Xin's army rested here for a long time.

The topography of the Mingyang slope here does not have much advantage for the cavalry, because there are mountains, so it is easy to ambush, but Luo Xin led all the cavalry, and he couldn't give full play to the advantages of the cavalry.

And Zhao Cheng is the attacking party, he has just arrived here, and this place has no advantage for him.

The two sides are the collision of legions, one side is tired, the other side has just finished resting.

The two sides fought fiercely until the night, Luo Xin immediately collected his troops and retreated, of course, it was not that he couldn't fight, but he was almost done, he knew that he needed to rest at this time, after all, the two sides fought fiercely, and his army suffered a lot of casualties.

And Zhao Cheng exerted the bloody nature of the Zhao people to fight here, although Luo Xin suffered heavy losses, but his army also lost a lot because it was tired of fighting.

Zhao Cheng looked at the terrain of Pingyang Slope: "Set up camp on this hillside, recuperate, and prepare for tomorrow's impact!" ”

Zhao Cheng knew that the longer he stayed, the more dangerous the sand dunes became, and he had already mobilized the defenders of other places in Zhao Di to support the sand dunes.

And as the main general, he has to feel the sand dunes, but he knows that there is a Qi army in front of him to intercept it, and he will definitely not be able to cross it for a while.

But with the support of his defenders, Zhao Cheng believed that the sand dunes would definitely hold out for a while.

As long as he and those reinforcements can reach 200,000 people, and when the time comes, he will unite with the defenders in Dune City, and he will definitely be able to drive out Wu Zixu of this Qi country.

When the time came, he placed heavy troops in the dunes and built fortifications to strengthen the defense of the dunes.

Ensure the safety of the granary in the dunes, and at the same time defend the grain transportation road, and launch a general attack on Zhao Zhang as soon as the Qin army arrives.

Luo Xin took the remnants of the army to a wood, and there were only 8,000 left of the 20,000 cavalry overnight, and Luo Xin was deeply shocked by the blood of the Zhao people.
