Chapter 337 337
Qi Xiaobai stood on a hillside, and below was the jet-black Qi army.
The 500,000 elites of the Qingzhou Legion and the 100,000 samurai legions, although they are not the strength of the Qi State, no one dares to underestimate this combat power in the empire.
After breaking Zhongshan City, Qi Xiaobai did not attack forward, because Qi Xiaobai planned to cut off the back road of Handan City, instead of storming Handan City.
The Wei army has been stalemate in Handan City because the back road of Handan City has not been cut off, and Zhao Jun has been able to deliver grain and grass to Zhongshan City.
However, as long as the grain and grass in Zhongshan City are cut off, and there is no grain in it, the Zhao army will be self-defeating.
After all, Zhongshan City does not have a huge grain storage, Zhongshan City is very close to Handan, and Qi Xiaobai is planning how to cut off its back road in Zhongshan City.
Qi Jie looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Duke Huan, I will lead 100,000 elite soldiers, and I can cut off the transportation route of the Zhao army!" ”
"Zhao State has no grain and grass at this time, the grain and grass they are transporting now is still given to him by us, even if we don't attack, as long as we don't supply grain to Zhao State for three months, this Zhao State will be self-defeating, but this Wei State may not be able to hold on for three months!" Qi Xiaobai said to Qi Jiao.
As Qi Xiaobai said, as long as you don't send grain and grass to Zhao State, after three months, this Zhao State will be self-defeating, but Wei State has obviously been supporting it for less than three months.
Therefore, Qi Xiaobai must lead the army to crush the Zhao State and let the Wei State be relieved.
"It is said that now Zhao Hao of Zhao State is organizing soldiers and horses to fight with us!" Sun Bin sat in a wheelchair and said to Qi Xiaobai.
"The main forces of this Zhao State are all in Handan City, even if he organizes them, the soldiers and horses that can be organized are just old and weak soldiers!" Qi Xiaobai said to Sun Bin.
Sun Bin was silent, as Qi Xiaobai said, now the main force of Zhao State is in Handan City, and the army that can be organized in battle is basically a peasant, an ordinary reserve army, and this kind of army is not the opponent of the elite of Qi State at all.
Kuang Zhang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Duke Huan, if I lead the 30,000 warrior corps, we can break the logistics line of this Handan City, and if we rush into Handan City, we can break through Handan City!" ”
Qi Jie and Kuang Zhang can crack each other's rear routes, but Qi Xiaobai looked at Qi Jie: "I'll give you 200,000 soldiers and horses, and this Handan City will be handed over to you!" ”
Qi Xiaobai doesn't care too much about whether to break through Handan City or not, he just needs to cut off the other party's logistics and transportation routes, but Zhao has an army, and Qi Xiaobai must defeat, that is Zhao Hao.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Kuang Zhang: "Don't think about Handan City, I have a more important task to be delivered to you!" ”
"Huan Gong, please speak, his subordinates will definitely do their best to complete Huan Gong's task!" Handan knelt on the ground and said to Qi Xiaobai
"I order you to lead 30,000 warriors to fight against Zhao Hao!" Qi Xiaobai said to Kuang Zhang.
Although Zhao Yong sent an envoy to Qi Xiaobai for talks, he also wanted to test Qi Xiaobai's strength.
So he wanted Zhao Hao to negotiate with Qi Xiaobai after he was defeated, and of course he also pinned his hopes on Zhao Hao to win Qi Xiaobai.
If they lose, for Zhao State, it will only lose 200,000 reserves, which will not hurt Zhao State's bones, but if they win, then they will have a chance to drive Qi State out of Zhao State.
Although the ministers and Zhao Sheng opposed Zhao Yong's proposal, Zhao Yong was the grand duke of Zhao State, and everyone was helpless if they disagreed.
Zhao Hao took 200,000 troops to the Nine Gates City of Zhao State, attempting to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army from the Nine Gates Valley outside the Nine Gates.
And Qi Xiaobai thought that Zhao Hao had to be solved, so he chose to send Kuang Zhang to the Jiumen Valley to face Zhao Hao.
There was a huge grassland in the Jiumen Valley, and the Qi army and Zhao Hao basically wanted to fight a decisive battle in that place.
The 200,000 brought by Zhao Hao, although they are not elite soldiers of Hufu cavalry and archery, but they are also soldiers who have been trained in horsemanship, they are all reserves, and they have basically received systematic training in Hufu cavalry and archery, but they are not as much as the actual combat and training of Hufu cavalry.
The reason why Zhao Hao dared to choose a valley for Qi Xiaobai to fight with him was mainly because Qi Xiaobai did not bring the Northern Hebei Army.
He knew that the Northern Hebei Army was staying in Northern Hebei to prevent foreign races, and the Northern Hebei Army did not come, so he felt that the Qi Army of Qi was not to be feared, at least compared to Zhao State.
Of course, he also knew about the samurai legion, but he also heard that the samurai legion was not strong in cavalry, but in heavy steps.
The samurai legion is actually an all-round legion, and if you want to attribute it to one class, that is, heavy steps.
Of course, the cavalry riding skills of the samurai legion are also very powerful, of course, this is something that Zhao Hao has not seen, although he has heard of it, but he thinks that a heavy infantry regiment, where can the cavalry be powerful?
These 200,000 are all from the north of Zhao State, where some of them are herdsmen, so Zhao Hao wants to give full play to the advantages of his army, so he has to choose this Jiumen Valley.
Of course, there is another point, that is, although there are plains in the Jiumen Valley, after all, there are still many dangerous terrain in the valley, and Zhao Hao wants to use this terrain to win the Qi army.
Qi Xiaobai chose to let Kuang Zhang face the battle, this is his trust in Kuang Zhang, and of course, it is also his trust in his samurai army.
Kuang Zhang dispatched 30,000 warrior legions to the Jiumen Valley, while Qi Xiaobai followed closely with 70,000 samurai legions.
In terms of the fighting strength of the two sides, the Qi army is at a disadvantage, but the warrior corps of the Qi country is the elite of the Qi country, and the equipment is also the top.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai must insist on destroying Zhao Hao's army, that is, if he doesn't care, when he is dealing with Handan City, this Zhao Hao attacks unexpectedly, how should this be?
At that time, the Qi army will have a situation where the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, which will be a great disadvantage to the Qi country.
So what Qi Xiaobai thought, he had to solve this Zhao luxury......
Of course, Zhao Hao's 200,000 troops, Qi Xiaobai didn't pay attention to it, he felt that with the elite warrior army of Qi State, it could be easily defeated.
The 200,000 soldiers and horses led by Qi Jie went to Handan City, while Qi Xiaobai and Kuang Zhang were 100,000 warrior legions, and the remaining Qi soldiers were organized by Sun Bin and Tian Dan in Zhongshan City, depending on the situation.
Dispatch there wherever it is needed, in case of emergency.
Qi Jiao studied the transportation roads of Zhao State overnight, and learned where the transportation roads of Zhao State were heavily guarded and where there were few soldiers.
Qi Jiao chooses to eliminate the places with a large number of soldiers, and in the places with few soldiers, they eliminate them one by one.
Although Handan City knew that the Qi army might attack their own transportation channel, they could not do anything about it, because once they dispersed their forces to fight the Qi army, the Wei State might take advantage of the weakness.
