Chapter 299: Lian Pokquwo (1st Update)

January 10, 258 BC.

Quwo City.

Lian Po stood on top of the tall Quwo city wall, looking down on the entire battlefield from a high vantage point.

At this moment, the smoke of gunpowder in Quwo City had not completely dissipated, and Lian Po could even hear some faint shouts of killing faintly coming from some corners of the cityβ€”it was the last fight of the Qin people who still insisted on resisting before despairing.

For the 200,000 army under Lian Po, it was not too much of a problem to capture a city with only a few thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians defending.

The only problem may be that due to the winter, the slowness of the siege this time is somewhat beyond Lian Po's own imagination.

A burst of footsteps gradually approached, and the dusty Le Cheng appeared in front of Lian Po, gave a military salute to Lian Po, and said loudly: "General! ”

Lian Po nodded slightly, and asked, "How about the casualties?" ”

Lian Po was talking about the casualties of the Three Jin Coalition forces.

Le Cheng said: "It has not been fully counted, but it should not exceed three thousand!" ”

Lian Po's face obviously didn't look too satisfied, and he asked again: "How about the casualties of my soldiers?" ”

This time it was Zhao Jun who asked.

Le Cheng said: "It's about five hundred!" ”

After hearing this answer, Lian Po's face eased a little, and he continued to ask, "What are the specific casualties of Wei Han?" ”

Le Cheng said: "The casualties of the Wei army are twice as many as those of Han!" ”

In this siege of Quwo, Lian Po did not let Korea or Wei act as the main force of the siege alone, but directly attacked the city of Quwo from three different directions.

After several days of attacking, Zhao's army was the first to break through the northern wall of Quwo City with minimal casualties, and only then did it have a chance to break the city.

"Han Wei's soldiers are far inferior to Zhao Zhijun's soldiers!" Lian Po looked at some Han and Wei soldiers back and forth under the city wall, and made a very positive conclusion.

Le Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "The general doesn't want to think about it, this Han Wei soldier is far inferior to Zhao Guo, otherwise how can Zhao Guo dominate the world?" ”

Lian Po snorted and said, "If this Han Wei soldier is my opponent, then I will naturally be happy in my heart, but it's a pityβ€”β€”"

Lian Po snorted twice and walked towards the city without saying a word.

Lecheng and a bunch of incorruptible guards hurriedly followed.

A moment later, Lian Po arrived at one of the largest mansions in Quwo City.

The mansion should have been very luxurious, as if it was inhabited by some big man, but after a war, the luxurious mansion became obviously a little dilapidated.

Lian Po walked into the hall of the mansion, where a group of people were already waiting for his arrival.

"General!"

More than a dozen generals of Han and Wei saluted Lian Po in unison.

The commander of Korea was Jin Di, while the commander of Wei was Wei Qing.

But in front of Lian Po and Zhao Guo, these people are undoubtedly just little brothers.

Lian Po didn't talk nonsense, walked directly to the main seat and sat down, and then spoke.

"Now that we have captured Quwo, the next thing is to continue to attack the rest of Hedong County. In the opinion of the generals, how should we attack? ”

Perhaps under the influence of Zhao Dan, Lian Po also consulted the opinions of many generals under his command before sending troops.

At this moment, the four big cities of Quwo, Jiang, Gujiang and Pingyang have been occupied by the Sanjin coalition army, and it can be said that half of Hedong County has fallen into the hands of the Sanjin coalition army, and only Anyi, a big city, is still in the hands of Qin in the entire Hedong County.

Overall, the situation is very good.

Then now there is obviously only one way in front of the Sanjin coalition army, and that is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the entire Hedong County.

As soon as Lian Po's words fell, the generals began to put forward many opinions.

Some people hope to attack Pu and Qu first, take the southern part of Luliang Mountain, and then go south to attack the shore gate.

Some people want to concentrate all their efforts on capturing Anyi first, and then turn around and conquer Yiyang.

There were many opinions, and the hall was very noisy for a while.

Lian Po's tiger eyes were like lightning, and he shot at the body of the South Korean general Jin Huang: "General Jin Huang, it's better to talk about your opinion." ”

In Lian Po's opinion, the Wei army without Wei Wuji's troops is a bunch of waste, but this Jin Huang is inconspicuous, and the combat effectiveness he shows does make Lian Po a little surprised, and it is worth asking.

Jin Di didn't seem to expect Lian Po to ask him for advice, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly spoke: "General, now that there are many Qin troops in Anyi City, it is better to send a surprise army to raid Anmen and Pusaka, if these two cities are in hand, then the retreat of the Qin army in Anyi will be exhausted, and this battle will be won!" ”

As soon as Jin Di's opinion was raised, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little warm.

This is actually quite a bold strategy.

The cities of Kishimon and Kamasaka are not large, but their locations are quite crucial.

The bank gate is the westernmost part of Hedong County, facing the Yellow River, and on the opposite bank is the Hexi Land of the Qin State and the important town of Shaoliang City in the west of the Qin State.

Occupy the shore gate, then the connection between Hedong County and Qin State Hexi will be completely cut off.

If the location of the Kishimon Gate is important enough, then the location of Kamasaka is even more important than the Kishimon.

Kasaka is an important thoroughfare connecting Hedong County and Kanchu.

Once Pusaka is occupied, then not only will Anyi's back road be copied, as long as the river is crossed from Pusaka, the Sanjin coalition army will be able to enter the Guanzhong mainland of Qin without hindrance!

Wei Qing, the commander of the Wei army, couldn't help but question: "The position of the shore gate and Pu Han is so important, the people of the Qin State must have heavy troops to defend it, how can they overcome it for a while?" ”

If you can't conquer these two cities in a short period of time with lightning speed, then not only will the surprise attack fail, but the battlefield situation of the entire Sanjin coalition army in Hedong County will be frustrated.

Jin Huang was obviously prepared for this, and said unhurriedly: "General Wei Qing doesn't know, now that the army of the Qin State is fighting in the Chu State, the Qin Wangji can mobilize nothing more than some county soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of this county is low, and the defense of the city is also coping, how can it resist the surprise attack of the elite soldiers of the Three Jin Alliance?" ”

Saying that, Jin Huang arched his hand towards Lian Po and said, "If the general does not give up, I am willing to send out 5,000 elite Korean troops to capture the shore gate!" ”

Wei Qing had nothing to say now.

Lian Po thought about it, and made a decision directly and decisively: "Since this is the case, then, as General Jin Huang said, send troops to capture Anmen and Pusaka, and the rest of the main force will attack Anyi with me, and we must annihilate all the Qin troops in Anyi City!" ”

Lian Po had already received the news that three days ago, the reinforcements urgently dispatched by Qin Wangji had arrived in Anyi City, and it was said that the number was at least 150,000 or more.

In Lian Po's opinion, since the 150,000 Qin army appeared in front of the Three Jin Coalition Army, of course there was no need to go back.
