The battle of Qin Yan is related to the battle of the unification of the Central Plains.

Whoever can win in this battle is destined to be the master of the unified Central Plains.

In recent years, the Qin State has been fighting every year without a moment's rest. It seems that there are many soldiers, but many people have seen the fatigue of the soldiers. Especially since the battle of Chu has not yet ended, and he turned around to fight Yan, it is no wonder that Wang Jian wants to confront the Yan army on the bank of the Yishui River, because he does not want to fight the Yan army at all.

The Yishui River is a barrier of the Yan Kingdom, and with the help of the natural danger of the river, it can block the enemy from foreign invasion. The river not only protects itself, but also protects Wang Qian's army on the other side of the river. The northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and neither Qin nor Yan dares to start a war on the river, both sides have a common consciousness, whoever wants to cross the river, the other party must cross the river halfway.

No one is stupid, everyone is spending on both sides of the Yishui to see who is more patient.

Zhao Jia and Prince Dan spent more than ten days with Wang Jian and suddenly came back to their senses. They have long been prepared to consume for a long time, but the other side actually thinks the same, who is the other party? That's the god of war Wang Qian, doesn't he understand such a simple truth?

Compared with consumption, Yan State considers itself stronger than Qin State. The reason is very simple, the Qin State has been fighting in recent years, and the Chu State has not finished fighting, and it has come to fight the Yan State again. Even if the treasury of the Qin State is a mountain of gold, it is almost consumed. What is the war fought? The fight is logistics, and whoever has more money and food will be able to win the war.

But Wang Jian on the other side was willing to accompany them, there was definitely a conspiracy. Wang Jian uses soldiers, focusing on the word 'stability', but sometimes he will use tricks and conspiracies. Xiang Yan was so capable of fighting, but he was played by Wang Jian and finally ended up killing himself.

Zhao Jia said to Prince Dan: "Prince Yan Dan, do you think that when the two armies are stalemate, will King Yan move the capital?" ”

Prince Dan raised his head suddenly, and said affirmatively: "No, my father has already begun to move the capital, and I don't know if he is still in Jicheng at this time." ”

Zhao Jia pounded his feet and said: "Can your country be reliable, during the war, King Yan actually didn't think about boosting morale, so he moved the capital alone. No wonder the royal family looks down on him, with this open-mindedness without responsibility, it is estimated that the Yan State will be annexed by the Qin State sooner or later. I can see it, King Yan was frightened by Yingzheng, and when he heard the Qin army calling, the first thing he thought about was to escape. ”

"Brother Yan Dan, let me tell you clearly, we can't win this battle, what kind of king will bring out what kind of soldiers. The other party's army is as steady as a mountain, and he is holding on to us, but he wants to drag us here and not move. There are still a few soldiers and horses in the Qin State, as long as they bypass the Yishui River and fight on multiple fronts, can we explain the fight? ”

The prince Dan said worriedly: "If that's the case, then you and I will each lead a soldier, and everyone will act separately." ”

Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "There are only two people between you and me, according to what I know about Ying Zheng, he will definitely send two famous generals to drag us down." Don't doubt it, if I were Yingzheng, I would definitely do it. If Ying Zheng really divides his troops to fight like this, I am not too worried, I am afraid that Ying Zheng will conduct a long-distance battle and directly attack Daicheng, then the coalition army will be self-defeating. ”

Prince Dan was silent, Daicheng was the foundation of Zhao Jia, if Yingzheng attacked there, Zhao Jia would rather lose this battle than let Daicheng lose. Don't talk about any alliance friendship, this is not a fart for the royal family, what the royal family pursues is eternal interests, and no one will do anything without interests.

The two sighed for a long time, looking at Wang Qian's army on the other side of the river, the camp was too stable, and there was no chance to steal the camp.

And the big tent of the Qin State Central Army on this side of the river, Wang Jian was not only not happy, but also stared at the map and kept looking, the more he looked at it, the more worried he became. Ying Zheng's plan was too risky, and he wanted to eat the Yan army on the other side of the river in one go, but he was afraid that if he ate it in his mouth, he would choke himself.

The soldiers and horses of all parts of the Qin State were stared at by the Yan army, and it was impossible to divide the troops to fight. Wang Jian kept pointing on the map, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. Everyone thought that there were only so many soldiers and horses in the Qin State, but no one could have imagined that Ying Zheng would secretly smuggle a soldier over.

Where did this army come from? It was from the garrison barracks. In this battle, Yingcheng personally went into battle with his wounds, with Li Xin as the vanguard, bypassing the ancient battlefield of Zhao Guogu and lurking into the other side of the river from the northwest. As long as you set up a stable camp on the high slope upstream, you can make a posture of building soil and water and flooding the Yan army. As long as the camp is settled, it is impossible for the Yan army not to know, and it is estimated that Prince Dan will charge at any cost.

Then Wang Jian then came to the rescue, making the entire Yan army dumplings and cutting off the backup, and the battle would inevitably end in the victory of the Qin State. But there is a premise, the soldiers brought by Yingcheng are only 30,000 soldiers in the garrison camp, and he must hold out for a day and a night, otherwise Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe will not be able to support the army at all.

If it can't hold out for a day and a night, and the Qin State can't encircle the Yan army at all, then this battle will only turn into a war of attrition. As Zhao Jia said, what Qin was most afraid of was a war of attrition, and Ying Zheng formulated a strategy of quick victory before sending troops. If the war drags on until winter, it will be difficult for the Qin army not to withdraw, once the army is withdrawn, the Qin State will be defeated for this war, and if it wants to recover, it will have to be five years.

On both sides of Yishui, the two armies combined amounted to more than 800,000 troops, except for Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe on the border of Zhao and Wei, no one knew that there was a small army of 30,000 people, secretly lurking in the upper reaches of Yishui.

As the night approached, countless torches suddenly rose in the upper reaches of Yishui, and the flames raised from the fires were as high as three zhang, and people could see them dozens of miles away.

Walking out of the big tent and looking at the fire over there, Wang Jian summoned the three armies and issued orders one after another. At this moment, all the soldiers and horses of the Qin State moved, and they all rushed to the place where the fire was.

The reason why it takes a day and a night is only because the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are far and near, and they must all be assembled before they can form a joint encirclement. I went early, the army under Wang Jian was not more than half of the Yan army, and it was fighting in other people's territory, and there were not as many soldiers as the other party, so I knew that I would lose without fighting.

The Yan army and the southern army of Chu State, many of them had fought with the Huns, and they often fought with the Zhao army in the past, and most of them were veterans. One-on-one, Wang Jian still dares to fight, one-on-two, Wang Jian doesn't have to think about it, he can't win at all. Therefore, all the soldiers and horses must rush to the corresponding place on time according to the established plan before they can carry out the final decisive battle.

On the north bank of Yishui, the Yan army in the big tent, Prince Dan and Zhao Jia suddenly heard the noise outside the camp and hurriedly ran out of the tent. Looking at it, the fire in the upper reaches of the water is soaring, and countless figures are shining.

Zhao Jia glanced at the direction and glanced at Prince Dan, and the two gasped.

Zhao Jia said sharply: "Immediately order the whole army to capture that high ground, that position is the uphill pass, if it is filled with water there, our army will inevitably be flooded." ”

Prince Dan immediately turned around and said, "Soldiers, immediately lead their respective soldiers and horses, and be sure to take that place down." There won't be too many people on the other side, even at any cost, they have to take it down. ”

The two men each ordered their men to march quickly into the darkness of the night, and rushed to the place where the fire was burning. They all know that the Chinese army has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the big tent, and if it is flooded, the Yan army will be self-defeating. Few northerners are water-based, and if they really fill the people over there with water, the two of them don't dare to think about it at all.

At the same time, the Yan army hurried towards that place, and the Qin army also rapidly gathered towards the firelight. The location where Yingcheng is located is the fire prevention point, and 30,000 people have built the fortifications in a short time. When everything was ready, Yingcheng personally lit the fire and lit the entire fire.

Ying Zheng stood at the top and shouted loudly: "Brothers, according to my king's plan, store water in the upper reaches of Yishui, pile up fortifications, and flood hundreds of thousands of Yan troops. But the king said again, the lone army is deep, and it will not be discovered by the Yan army before it is full of water, and the only way to do this is to use this hillside and use himself as bait to attract the arrival of the Yan army. ”

"I know people wonder why I lit the fire so early. The reason is very simple, this is already the land of Yan Kingdom, and my army of Great Qin is not familiar with it at all, and if it drags on for a long time, it will inevitably cause a long-term war of attrition. ”

"After several years of war, we have not stopped to rest, and we are going to fight this war again. We can't afford to consume it at all, and neither can the treasury of Great Qin. Only with the help of this hillside, taking advantage of the arrival of the Yan army, soldiers and horses from all over the country launched a siege of the Yan army. There is no need for more, we only need to hold on for two days and two nights, and the Yan army will be defeated. ”

30,000 people said in unison: "The Yan army will be defeated." ”

Yingcheng said loudly: "Hold your ground, retreat or die, and advance or live." Great Qin will win, and the Yan army will be defeated. ”

The 30,000 people shouted in unison: "Great Qin will win, and the Yan army will be defeated." ”

"Great Qin will win, and the Yan army will be defeated."

……

Even Li Xin shouted loudly in it. It turns out that there is still this emphasis on leading troops, even if the Qin army is brave, it also needs to encourage morale. The reason why Li Xin failed to attack Chu was because he was too confident, saying that it was prudent to say that it was good, and it was to be rigid and self-serving.

Yingcheng is just different, he was born in the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard has his own unique combat style and never sticks to one model. All kinds of small means are used, as long as they can protect their own profits, they will do it.

There are still 10,000 garrison guards in the garrison camp here, and there is a mixture of veterans and new soldiers, so few people know how much real combat power there is. Yingcheng also drove ducks to the shelves, and took the initiative to provoke this big beam, this military merit, he must obtain, otherwise where can he get the trust of the Ying clan.

Even if he was injured, Yingcheng took the initiative to participate in the war, because only he could lead these soldiers, and if he replaced Li Xinlai, at least he would not be able to serve the public in terms of status and official position. Many of these soldiers are children of the royal family, and Yingcheng is afraid that they will be timid, so he has been boosting morale.

In fact, Yingcheng is also very worried, he only has 30,000 people in his hands, can he stop hundreds of thousands of Yan troops? Ying Zheng didn't have a score in his heart, but Ying Zheng gave such an order, and he would carry it out. After all, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield in person, and if you wait for the reunification of the Central Plains, Yingcheng will not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, so this time he took the initiative to ask for his life, not only to boost morale in the back, but also to serve as a supervisor.

Whoever dares to take a step back, no matter which powerful son of the family, will be killed immediately.

The soldiers knew such words, but they would not have thought much about it under the leadership of the veterans. In normal times, they can act like a soldier and don't give any face to the officials, but when they arrive on the battlefield, they must obey the military orders, even if they die, they must carry out the military orders.

The shadow of the Yan army can already be seen, and everyone knows that the war is about to break out.
