Chapter 651: Welcome to the New Era (6)

How is the war going? I don't know.

How many of your own cities have fallen, and which ones are still holding on? I don't know.

The number of troops deployed in the area, which units are at war, which units have been wiped out, which units are empty, and where the garrisons lack troops and need reinforcements are also completely blinded......

When the Fifth Cavalry Corps of the Han Army moved towards Xue County, the Linzi Center of Qi State could still receive battle reports from Xue County in front, but the military information reported later became less and less, until the back was completely interrupted.

Everything depends on guesswork, and it's easy to imagine out of thin air, but relying on even a blind guess to command a war is a pure joke!

A country can form effective rule because of many contacts and contacts, and once a certain part becomes a channel for communicating with each other, then it means that the country is no longer in a state of control over that part. Correspondingly, for the army, to get in touch with each other is also a kind of control, because the army is able to issue and receive orders as a whole, and then it can effectively use the most effective force to deal with various changes.

For the state of Qi, the central Linzi could not receive and understand the intelligence feedback from the warring areas, and immediately became the territory of those areas to "save zài" on the map of mountains and rivers, and since they could not receive it, it must be difficult to give orders, and any accusation and accusation were completely derailed.

The value of information feedback in human civilization is unimaginable, and it is related to a social effect that is difficult to explain in a small space, but it can be described in simple language in the military.

The most direct phenomenon is that after the commanders of the various regional battlefields of Qi State lose all sources of information, they can only know what is happening in the surrounding areas, and they completely lose control of the situation and control in the periphery. In the state of partition and blockade, the "collective" from the same country becomes scattered "individuals" at that moment, they no longer become a component and rely on coordination and cooperation to wage a war, they become one part after another, and can only focus and maintain the present.

Xutai fell, Guangling fell, Dongyang fell, and Huaiyin was besieged. What happened in Donghai County seemed to be two worlds with any Qi administrative or military unit outside the war zone, and they didn't know what was going on there.

The fall of Xiao County, the fall of Liuxian, the fall of Tingxian, the fall of Fengyi, the fall of Boyang, the siege of Pengcheng and Xinpei County, and the situation in the northern part of Surabaya County and the rest of the Qi State are also completely interrupted.

When the Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the Han Army broke into Xue County, Qi was thinking according to the normal state of the war in the past, from Qi Wang Dan to any official in the center, their brains exploded at once, and the Han army entered Xue County, so the Qi army in Surabaya County must be finished, otherwise how could the Han army enter Xue County?

After the movement of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Han Army to the north, the front appeared in the Lang Evil Army. The Linzi center of the Qi State was stunned, it was only the third month of the war, first the first Han army appeared in Xue County, and then the second Han army appeared in Langxie County, how fierce should the Han army be to eat up to 260,000 Qi troops in the northern part of Surabaya County and the entire Donghai County within three months?

Under the condition that the Qi State was prepared, and it was to strengthen the city defense and set up a stronghold defense line with the garrison troops, the Han army wiped out as many as 260,000 Qi troops in three months, and then successively captured the unknown number of cities, and the troops pointed directly at the territory of the Qi State at least 400 miles away from the Han mainland!

The 260,000 Qi army was still the establishment before the war. According to the rules of the past, when facing a defensive battle in the city, the defender will still recruit Latin troops in the city, so the total strength must have changed, and how much it increases depends on how many people in the city.

Like Guangling. She had a total of 13,000 defenders before being approached by the Han army, but under the operation of the Guangling guards, the number of troops defending the city increased to 30,000 in one day, if it were not for the Han army successfully breaking the city on the third day, according to Guangling's 130,000 city population. In the end, it would certainly not be such a surprise to bring together 70,000 or 80,000 people to resist.

Take an imaginary number, even if there are ten cities that Qi has arranged to hold in Surabaya County and Donghai County, each city will temporarily pull up 20,000 people into the army when it is defending. According to the past war situation, unless it is too unexpected, once the number of participants exceeds 500,000, the war will not be a matter that can tell the winner in three or five months, and it is the norm to still be in a stalemate after a year and a half.

The territory that has fallen so many times in three months is to fall with some preparations, how can the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State not be confused and unable to breathe?

Qi Wang Dan became more and more hysterical, completely unable to believe that the Qi army would be so useless in the face of the Han army, thinking that there must be some illusion that had happened. He asked his courtiers to do everything possible to find out about the battle ahead, and he also kept sending people to the side of Tian Rong's corps that was confronting the Qin army, first, to ask Tian Rong if it was possible to defeat the Qin Central Plains army led by Xu Yan in the near future, and second, to order that if Tian Rong was not sure that the Han army was not sure to defeat the Qin army when it approached Zicheng, he should prepare and withdraw his aid.

Tian Rong was also stunned when he received the order from Linzi, of course he knew that the Han Kingdom, which had been brewing for nearly four years, would not go to war, and once the war started, it would definitely be an offensive like raging waves. Although he had been mentally prepared, the development of things was really dumbfounded, he thought that even if the Han army was fierce, Qi State had made so many preparations, it should always be able to resist the Han army in Pengcheng, Boyang, and Xinpei counties in the north of Surabaya.

What does Linzi Center say? The latest news is that there are signs of Han army activities in Lu County, the capital of Xue County, and another Han army has also entered Langxi County, and Surabaya County and Donghai County have completely broken off contact, doesn't it mean that even if there are still cities in Surabaya County and Donghai County holding on, they are still fighting separately, and the Han State must have controlled the rhythm of the war, otherwise there would be no Han army breaking into Xue County and Langxi County.

How should Tian Rong answer Qi Wang Tian Dan's question? If the Qin army was so easy to defeat, the coalition forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao would not have fought for nearly two years or a stalemate, and the Qin army retreated twice and still took the initiative to retreat for some reason, not a defeated retreat, and the coalition army did not take advantage of anything at all in the battle with the Qin army except for eating the land that the Qin army retreated from.

It is almost impossible for the combined forces of Qi, Yan, and Zhao to defeat the Qin Central Plains Army led by Xu Yan in the well-fortified Sanchuan area in a short period of time.

Tian Rong repeatedly deduced and only came to one conclusion, the current situation is that unless the Huns can tear through the Mengtian defense line and divide the forces of the Central Plains Army of the Qin State led by Xu Yan again, it will be a continuous tug-of-war of attrition.

It is not clear whether the battle situation in Surabaya County and Donghai County is as unbearable as the Linzi Center guessed, but it is a clear fact that the Han army has begun to threaten the capital of Qi State, Tian Rong knows very well that it is necessary to return reinforcements, but what kind of way to return reinforcements, will the Qin army watch Qi State draw troops from the Sanchuan Front and be indifferent?

"If the news is not wrong, the Han State has not declared war on the Qin State at present, nor has it received any information that the Han army is marching into the territory of the Qin State?" Tian Rong was so worried that his hair turned white, and he didn't understand what was going on between the Han Kingdom and the Qin State at all.

Zang Di's face also looked very different: "No one has ever understood Lu Zhe, the king of Han, and he has never really understood it." ”

Lu Zhe declared war on Qi and Yan, and let Qin and Zhao pass, this is what has happened so far, this practice is very confusing, to say that it is a difference between distant and close attacks or intimacy, it doesn't look like it.

If you talk about which alliances are being destroyed, it is no secret that since the Xiongnu entered the northern border of Zhao State, Zhao State and Qi Yan began to deal with each other, Lu Zhe did so only to increase the distrust of the alliance, and it was not a fatal diplomatic strategy?

Lü Zhe is a rebel general of the Qin State, if it is out of common sense, the Han State established by Lu Zhe's hands should be the Qin State the most, this is the easiest thing to explain from the needs and psychology, but it did not happen according to common sense.

Zhao State has been weakened to the point that it is difficult to protect itself, for Lu Zhe, the relatively strong Qi State is the best alliance object, according to the geographical location, Yan State will also be the second alliance object, but looking at the recent situation, Lu Zhe instead focused his diplomatic relations on Zhao State, although Zhao State has repeatedly denied it, but there are some rumors that Lu Zhe sent envoys to discuss the Han and Zhao alliance, and it can be characterized without ground, which is the main reason why no one can understand what Lu Zhe wants to do.

In addition, there are some things that make people even more confused, and they don't know if they are true or not......

"It is rumored that the Han State and the Qin State also have the will to form an alliance, and the Qin State is willing to give up Ba County, Shu Army, and Hanzhong County in exchange for Han grain and weapons, and even the Han army to participate in the war against the Xiongnu." Tian Rong laughed when he heard these news that was obviously spread by the Qin State, but he believed it a little at any time due to the changes in the situation and some incomprehensible strategies of Lu Zhe.

Zang Di looked even more depressed, the reason why Yan formed an alliance with Qi is because of historical roots, and the other is that the wealth and technology from Qi helped Yan develop Liaodong and the peninsula, which was once considered the most cost-effective alliance, but now that the Han soldiers are threatening Linzi, Tian Rong also seems to have decided to return to help, but he didn't think about what kind of aid method should be?

What's going on in the world? Unprecedented confusion and chaos, this is! (To be continued......)
