The Qin army's Qin army method was to find the weakness of the defenders of Nanjun, and it was obviously an arrangement made after careful consideration.

Deng County and Shanshan are two large counties in Nanyang County, and the two places are separated by more than 50 miles, so they can march from morning to night. At the same time, the distance between Yuxian and Shandu and Deng County is 65 miles and 70 miles, and the distance between Yuxian County and the two places can basically be reached within two days.

Sima Xin has two ideas, one is to see which way can break through, and the main force will march to that side; The second is that the road successfully attracted a large number of defenders from the south county, and they entered the south county from the weak one.

Obviously, Sima Xin's temptation did not get the desired effect, Deng County's breakthrough along the way was not smooth, and Shandu had not yet started fighting because it had slowed down the march time in the forest.

The news of the loss of more than half of the road led by Shao Ai reached Sima Xin in Yu County within three days, and he faced the danger that if he did not support Deng County, he might be dragged down and annihilated by Lu Zhe's troops along the way.

The Qin army was annihilated by the advance of the first line in the battle of unification, and Sima Xin's request for help from Deng County all the way was actually an ambiguous attitude, focusing on the next development of the war situation.

If you can attract Lu Zhe's main force to the past, then it is not impossible to sacrifice 20,000 Qin soldiers all the way. Sima Xin even wished that Lu Zhe would send all the troops over to besiege Shao Ai's department, so that he could lead the main force to join the troops on the front line of Shandu, and with Deng County's way to attract the main force of the enemy, there would be more chess paths to take.

The military intelligence reported by the front told Sima Xin a fact, the defense system of Nanjun was very perfect, and if he wanted to attack Nanjun, he couldn't do it without knowing it, and he didn't break through the forts blocking the road one by one, even if he found a way to bypass it. Then the supply lines will definitely be disrupted.

According to Shao Ai's report, it seems that it is not difficult for the Qin army, which has the advantage of the arrow array, to break through when there are no reinforcements in the fort? Sima Xin's main force is not like Shao Ai's only three stone-throwing vehicles along the way, suppressing it with an arrow array, and then using forty or fifty stone-throwing vehicles to throw stones day and night, it shouldn't be difficult to smash the fort in one day, right? smashed it one by one, there are only a few forts on this side of Shandu, and it takes about four days, isn't that a breakthrough in the defense line?

It's just that Sima Xin also knew that the defense line of the Bingbao in Nanjun was only one of them, and not only did each county have cities in the back, but even some mountains were fortified by Lu Zhe. It's really as defensive as a turtle shell.

Sima Xin's well-established fortifications made Sima Xin understand a fact, and after thinking about it, he wrote to Xu Yan of Luoyang, Sanchuan County, clearly stating that the result of the preliminary test was that Nanjun did not have the conditions to sweep hundreds of miles in a few days and nights. After writing the letter and sending it out quickly, Xu Yan, who was in Luoyang, would receive the letter about seven days later, what kind of thinking would he have, it was not for Sima Xin to guess, he could only pull out the camp before he got a new order.

The 60,000 Qin army has now arrived about twenty miles south of Zhuyang, which is about fifteen miles away from Shandu and about twenty miles away from Deng County. After Sima Xin was stationed in the camp, he sent troops to ask for grain from the two counties. At the same time, he knew that the news of his swaggering march should have been fed back by the Nanjun scouts.

In order to let Lu Zhe know the news that his main force had advanced, Sima Xin deliberately let the enemy scouts arrive to reconnoitre, and he believed that Lu Zhe, who had received the news of his main force, would lead his army north, and if he could have a field battle at the junction of Nanyang County and Nanjun at that time. If he can defeat Lu Zhe's army, then what if there are more fortifications in Nanjun, and after losing the army, it will still become an ornament?

Lu Zhe received the news that the main force of the Qin army was going south, and he really went north, and Mei Kai's 30,000 troops rushed to the aid of Dengxian Soldier Fort was the news that Sima Xin already knew. It's a pity that the 70,000 led by Lu Zhe came to Yan County and stopped, which was unexpected by Sima Xin.

According to Sima Xin's thinking, Lu Zhe was just a military marquis a year ago. Although I heard that I am familiar with the art of war, but I am very young, and being young means that I can't hold my breath, I didn't expect that although Lu Zhe was young, he didn't rush to press the whole army, which really made Sima Xingao take a look.

If it can't be attracted, Sima Xin should think about the situation in Deng County. Although the vanguard army was wiped out many times in the history of the Qin State, the impact would not be great, but since it was impossible to break through by detour, the Shandu road did not move for the time being, and the whole army rushed to Deng County after the main force finished supplying the grain and straw.

Qin Jun likes to be dignified, Sima Xin doesn't believe that after the main force goes, Lu Zhe still cowers behind and does not move, this kind of thing is like fishing, Lu Zhe does not move Sima Xin can swallow Mei Kai, a small fish of 30,000 troops, by the way, Shao Ai has not captured the fort for three days, and then study what kind of internal structure makes the fort still last so long after losing the peripheral fortifications.

The main force of the 60,000 Qin army marched fifty miles on the first day of the outbreak of the war, and was delayed for two days from the supply of grain from the two counties, during which Lü Zhe also led the army to Yan County.

Yan County is now a front-line grain hoarding place, and within two days, a total of 300,000 stone grains and grass were transported here. The first city where Lü Zhe led his army north was also in Zeyan County.

In front of Yan County, there is also a Ye County, the distance between the two places is only about 25 miles, when the war broke out, if the soldier fort is the first early warning line and blocking line, then the formation of Ye County and Yan County echo each other is the first line of defense of Nan County in the face of Nanyang County's defense line.

In film and television works, the offensive and defensive battles always see the defenders all shrinking into the city, and the outside of the city is full of enemy troops, in fact, it is impossible to retreat all the troops in the city, and there needs to be at least one satellite camp within five miles of the city, and there will be more than one satellite city if you are well prepared in advance.

In the history of China, there have been countless offensive and defensive battles in the city, and there are countless examples to prove one thing, if the troops are all reduced to the city, then it is equivalent to completely giving up the initiative and no longer have the opportunity to turn around, and the fall of the city is only a matter of time.

Nanjun's urban defense arrangement in Ye County and Yan County was basically based on the original garrison camp to become a mutual defense trend, and history has proved that such a layout can effectively contain the enemy army, which is an effective arrangement confirmed by hundreds of thousands of war examples.

After Lu Zhe led an army of 70,000 to Yan County, he had been paying close attention to the movements ahead, and he sent 30,000 troops from Mei Kai's army to support the fort before he learned the news of the annihilation of Zhou Wen's army.

When he first heard the news, Lu Zhe was really shocked, he had always subconsciously felt that the Nanjun troops, who had just been in the army for less than half a year, would not be the opponent of the Qin army, but when he really heard that the 13,000 troops were killed by the 10,000 Qin army, there were less than 100 people left, although he was prepared in his heart, but it was inevitable that he would be stunned.

After repeatedly sending people to confirm that the military situation was finally complete, Lu Zhe was a little stunned when he understood the comparison between the entire battle and the casualties. Zhou Wensuo's army was not wiped out, at least more than 2,000 people fled back to Ye County, and only more than 3,000 people were left after the 10,000 Qin troops returned. He calculated that his own side lost 11,000 people, and the Qin army lost 7,000, and the proportion of battle losses did not seem to be so exaggerated.

For the more than 2,000 auxiliary soldiers who fled back to Ye County, Lu Zhe's way of dealing with it was not tolerated, and an order was sent to He Yi in Ye County.

He Yi carried out the punishment of one out of ten according to the order, and he would also take these two thousand to Cangwu County as hard labor, Wuliang was short of people to develop minerals, so let these guys who escaped from the battle go to mining for three years. Mining was very dangerous in these years, and all the previous deposits were mined by prisoners of war, but nearly 10,000 prisoners of war died in accidents in less than a pound in five months, and it is really hard to say how many people he will survive next year in three years.

Yan County is about forty miles away from the No. 2 Soldier Fort, and the fast horse can run back and forth in four hours, and on the night when the 70,000 troops settled down, Lu Zhe also received the first battle report from Mei Hong.

The guest army did not have a strong sense of battle, and the Qin army's round bed crossbow actually collapsed 1,500 guest archers, and Mei Kai did not dare not report this military situation. He also truthfully reported the news of the killing of the guest army before the battle, explaining the danger that would be caused if he did not kill a hundred people.

30,000 reinforcements have successfully rescued the No. 2 soldier fort, tried four times at the cost of more than 3,000 people only to attack the second layer of the Qin army's camp, Mei Kai's military intelligence report said that the number of Qin troops defending the camp will not exceed 5,000, and asked if he would bear the necessary price to capture the pro-army camp.

Lu Zhe naturally hoped that Mei Kai would be able to capture the camp before the main force of the Qin army arrived, but judging by Mei Kai's meaning, if he attacked strongly, he might have to pay at least 15,000 people, which was too high.

Too many deaths of the guest army will inevitably make Wu Rui rebound, if Huan Chu's guest army in Nanjun knows that Nanjun will use the lives of the guest army to fill in the road to break the camp, what will be the result? What Lu Zhe needs to think about is not the part, but the whole.

Just as Lu Zhe was about to make a trade-off, Mei Kai sent someone to report urgently, and the spies who went deep into Nanyang County reported the intelligence that Sima Xin's headquarters of 60,000 Qin troops were rushing towards them, and it was expected that they would arrive on the battlefield within a day.

Now it's okay, Lu Zhe doesn't have to continue to weigh it at all, he doesn't think that Mei Kai can capture the Qin army camp in one day, and now he needs to think about whether to let Mei Kai, including the defenders of the fortress on the line of Deng County, retreat to Ye County, and use the built city and acropolis to continue to defend. Or he took 70,000 reinforcements to the top and had a battle with Sima Xin's main Qin army on the edge of the Han River.

After thinking about it again, Lu Zhe decided to continue according to the original plan, the purpose of sending reinforcements to support Fort A No. 2 was to drag out the enemy army, and now the main force of the Qin army is pouring in, so it is time to let the Qin army go to the city of Yexian County.

Lü Zhe sent someone to inform the front to burn the fort, and Mei Kai immediately retreated with his troops. At the same time, he also sent people to Hengshan County to order the co-lieutenant to attack Nanyang County from the flank. However, he didn't know one thing, Xu Yan sent Sima Xin to lead 100,000 Qin troops south, and then transferred 50,000 Qin troops to continue south.

So far, the Qin army has moved Lu Zhe to respond, since Sima Xin's main force has arrived, then the deployment of the entire grand strategy will be considered to be fully operational at this moment. (To be continued......)
