The night before the Qin army approached Tucheng

The front of Tucheng is lively, it was already an empty city full of desolation, here because of its proximity to Qin, it was repeatedly captured by the Qin army, and finally the people had to choose to leave, today is completely different, a large group of people and horses appeared, and the clothes on their bodies were even more peculiar, not Chu people and non-Qin people, it was Zhao Kuo who led the army, all the way straight to the location of Tucheng, there was no available terrain along the way, and the troops in their hands could not fight head-on with the Qin army.

"This is it!"

A stream is from top to bottom, the water surface is wide, and the water flow is not turbulent, Zhao Kuo nodded, "Enough, immediately lead people to the upstream to build an earthen dam, and arrange defenses along the line, the speed should be fast." ”

Zhao Jun does not stop, the things held by the soldiers are even more strange, there is a thing under the wooden handle, there is a point below, and a large piece of soil can be dug up downward, it is also convenient to carry it on weekdays, the soldiers carry it, move it, and the huge stones are transported to the upstream, one person points with his hand, "It's good here, the terrain is relatively open, and it is also easier to build an earthen dam." ”

"Okay."

The soldiers lined up in a long line, cut down the trees found along the way, and then sharpened one end with a long sword, and then smashed it down with a stone hammer, with the force again and again, the wooden stake quickly went down, the time was not long, thousands of wooden stakes were erected on the water surface, the water flow through the gaps in the wooden piles, the speed was also accelerated, as long as the earth dam was built, the upper terrain was obviously higher than the downstream, and the water kept injecting to form a strong height difference, once it suddenly opened, it immediately formed a turbulent water flow, and the instantaneous strength was unimaginable.

A long deep pit was dug on one side, and the soil was quickly thrown in from both sides, and most of the mixed water was washed away. ”

"Put more rocks underneath and the branches across the top."

The earth dam on both sides quickly advanced to the middle, and the stones were thrown in to increase the strength of the earth dam, if it was filled with sediment, it would inevitably collapse.

The torches were lit, nearly 10,000 people fought for a day, only the last gap was left in the earthen dam, the water became more and more fierce, the stones were thrown in and washed away instantly, and on the side of the earthen dam, several long defenses were built, and the earth was excavated from the ground to build the earthen dam, and the two cooperated with each other.

"The general's water is too fast, and it is difficult to block it for a while."

"Even if it's blocked by people, it has to be blocked!"

Just said it casually, and the man's eyes lit up, "This method is good!" After saying that, he turned around and went straight to the earthen dam.

"What a way!"

"Give Lao Tzu the water, quickly."

At the sound of an order, the soldiers jumped in one after another, pulling each other tight, the water instantly did not pass the shoulder, the water was too urgent, fortunately, the strength was overpowering, grabbed each other and hugged each other's shoulders, a wave came, everyone disappeared instantly, and the shore lord could see clearly, "What nonsense!" Just as he was about to step forward, the group that had just disappeared reappeared, with mud on their faces, and spit out vigorously.

"No problem."

"Happy."

Everyone under the water shouted in unison, with a smile on their faces, and another wave of water hit, and they hurriedly closed their breath, their arms tightened, and once they were washed away by the water, life and death were unpredictable.

"Well done."

"Quick, throw it back."

The human wall played a role to block the power of the water waves, the soldiers acted quickly, the earth dam was finally completed, and everyone under the water went ashore one after another, and the whole person completely turned into a mud figure.

"You kid usually has a tendon in his head, how did you come up with such a good way this time?"

"It was the general's order, so I used people to block it."

"When did Lao Tzu give the order?"

"The general didn't say that the use of people to block must also be blocked."

Everyone laughed, fatigue was completely replaced by joy, with the formation of the earth dam, the water potential also tends to be stable, the water level slowly rises, do not dare to be careless, the water above keeps pouring in, the water potential rises, want to be foolproof can only keep the earth dam high, once all the efforts will be in vain.

"Heightened, reinforced."

With the completion of the earth dam above, the water flow below disappeared, Zhao Kuo stood on the opposite bank, the earth dam has been completed, accumulated overnight, the water potential can reach the height of their own needs, once the Qin army approaches, the Chinese army will immediately let go when it approaches, rushing floods down, the whole camp is instantly cut into two sections, the Chinese army camp has the most soldiers and horses, the most casualties must be the most, and then the ambush on both sides will be exhausted, if this battle is successful, it can consume a lot of strength of the Qin army.

"King, the earthen dam has been completed, and the black bull is leading people to strengthen it."

"You've been homesick for so long, haven't you?"

"Don't dare, I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes before the great cause is accomplished."

Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently, "If the family is prosperous, the country will be determined, and if the country is prosperous, the people will be strong, this king promises you to return to Handan, and let all the families prosper." ”

"I don't know if Mu Chen and Bai Ying have arrived in Yiyang!"

"It should be soon."

The land of the sun

There are many fortifications on both sides, especially in the place close to each other, a few zhang high earth wall is built on the flat ground, the earth wall is several zhang wide, the elite is arranged above, there is a deep ditch dug behind the earth wall, the earth wall is still an earth wall behind the deep ditch, the earth wall is connected to each other, the connection is equipped with a pipe card, the level is easy to defend and difficult to attack, only a team of elite needs to be arranged here, no matter how many people attack the earth wall and want to rush into the camp will pay a great price.

After five years of confrontation, there was no conflict between the two sides, and it seemed that an agreement had been formed invisibly, and as the main general, he also knew that the importance of the location of this place would inevitably affect the whole body once the battle was fought, and even caused a war between Qin and Zhao Kuangshi.

Li Mu sat in the big tent, dozens of mud piles were placed in front of him, the fortifications built by Zhao were slightly higher than Qin, and the other party could be vaguely seen from above, "Wonderful." Li Mu praised again and again, worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, every defense is exquisite, not built indiscriminately, especially in connection with each other.

"The general's ability is above the other party, why is that!"

Li Mu said with a smile: "The winner on the battlefield is respected, and the others are just false names, how many famous generals have been flashy in their lives and finally lost to the hands of nobodies, and finally their reputations are ruined, it's not that their skills are inferior, it's just that some things can't be measured by these at all, look here!" Li Mu pointed with his hand, it was the middle ring defense, "It must not be difficult to break through the front, the difficult thing is precisely here, the defenses are connected to each other, and you can flexibly mobilize people and horses, once my army rushes in, if you can't fully control these four places, you will be completely passive during the battle, and even lose all your previous efforts." ”

"These four places are too far away from each other, and it is inadvertently more difficult to control at the same time."

"Yes, the most rare and valuable thing is that in the rear of Qin, there was no need to add any defense, Wang Ling also integrated the arming into it, and the entire arming was like an iron bucket, and it was even more difficult to overcome.

Li Mu nodded, "If you want to win, you can only rely on the king to drag the army of Qin, Mu Chen and Bai Ying directly cut off the retreat of the other party's grain route, forcing the other party to defend the city alone, such a strong defense is equivalent to digging your own grave." ”

"When will the men and horses brought by the two generals arrive?"

"It should be soon, Li Mu has been waiting for this day for too long." Li Mu was originally a brave general on the battlefield, seeing that others followed the king to attack the city and plunder the land, he could only lead people to build fortifications, and his heart was inevitably lost, even so, there was still no complaint, if it were not for the king, he would still be stationed in the northwest border.

The two teams of men and horses quickly interspersed along the border of Chu and Qin, trying to avoid the eyeliner of the Qin State, once they found that there was a Qin army stationed in the army, they immediately besieged the army and never let go of a person, Mu Chen held a broad-edged sword, and the war horse exhaled white breath in his mouth, and he couldn't help but be tired when he ran all the way, "How far is it from Yiyang?" ”

"Arrive before dusk tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, the army is resting, it's not too late to wait for Bai Ying to bring people over."

At the sound of an order, the cavalry got off their horses one after another, and the infantry and archers behind were even more tired, sitting on the ground and constantly beating their thighs, and the cavalry was also not happy, even if there were horses to walk, people were also uncomfortable after a long time on it, and the feeling was indescribable.

It didn't take long for Bai Ying to lead the troops to catch up, and the soldiers sat left and right, and turned around and said, "Rest in place and wait for orders." After saying that, he urged forward along the middle.

Mu Chen got off the horse, saw Bai Ying Pegasus from a distance and walked a few steps closely, the two of them each led a team of men and horses forward, and rarely met along the way, "Lao Bai, I thought that your kid was hiding from a woman in the nest and was happy." ”

After Mu Chen finished speaking, he laughed, Bai Ying didn't argue, flew off the horse, his legs were a little sore, and he couldn't stand firmly, Mu Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "Be careful." ”

"After walking for a few days and nights, it's time to take a break."

"Can't rest, let's rest for one more day, the king will have one more day of danger, this kind of blocking the road should be handed over to others, and once you get two archers around, you will inevitably suffer!" Mu Chen was still uncomfortable with not leaving himself that day, and one of the points was that he wanted to have a good fight with the Qin people.

"Yiyang is a battleground that must be fought for, this time the king is willing to take risks and do it is enough to see its importance, you and I should live up to the king's trust and capture it as soon as possible."

"Of course, let's discuss the route of the march."

"Good!"

Mu Chen took out the topographic map of Yiyang from his arms, the location of the Qin army is at the exit of Yiyang, as long as it is blocked here, the entire Zhao army will not be able to pass through Guò, there are dangerous mountains and rapids on both sides, if you want to detour for at least a few more days, the rear is also vulnerable to the attack of the Qin army, Zhao Kuo is determined to capture Yiyang, and it is precisely this that Yiyang likes, and then threatens Hangu Pass.

"There are two roads, you and I will each bring people and horses to block them directly, one is used to block the reinforcements in the direction of Xianyang, and the other is to block the defenders of Yiyang."

"Bai Ying hits here." Pointing with your hand is the direction of Xianyang.

"No, I'll leave it to Mu Chen here."

Once Yiyang is surrounded, the direction of Xianyang will inevitably fight to the death, and it will inevitably be a hard battle, both of them are interested in this, and there is really no interest in just being sleepy and not fighting.

"Don't argue, the king said that the Qin army in Yiyang is close to 100,000, and once you find that the back road is broken, you will definitely lead troops to counterattack, which one is a difficult bone to gnaw."

"Even if it is a stone, it has to be gnawed down, this city is close to the land of Hangu, it is inevitable that there will be Qin troops guarding it, be careful all the way."

"Don't worry, Bai Ying has her own way to deal with it."

The fists slammed together, "Remember Lao Tzu's wine, you must return to Handan alive, otherwise you won't be let go of the ghosts." ”

"I'm still worried about my own good, Bai Ying's life is longer than others."

On the battlefield, how many brothers can never see each other again, there is a fork in the road ahead, the two teams of men and horses are separated from each other, one route is Commander Mu Chen goes straight to the periphery of Yiyang, and all the way to the west to cut off the reinforcements in the direction of Xianyang.
