"Is there any news from Jijing?"

"Back to the lord, there is no news yet?"

"It's been seven or eight days, and we've sent two pieces of news to Jijing, but there's no news from Jijing, I always feel that something is wrong, and now Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben are leading the Qin army and are facing off against the Daijun army on the border of Daiyan, so there won't be any accidents."

"Lord, please rest assured, Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben are both famous generals of the Qin State, proficient in the art of war, experienced in a hundred battles, and the plateau is leading the army on the side of Hongshangsai, in addition to the Yuanyuan, who else in the army can deal with them, there should be no accidents, even if there is a small setback, and General Wang is in charge of Jijing City, it will not affect the overall situation."

Han Teng nodded and said, "Cao Wuxian, what you said makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, there has been no news for seven or eight days, which has never happened before." ”

Although the Qin army is divided into two ways to attack, but the two Qin armies have always communicated with each other, informing each other of their progress, generally every three or four days, Han Teng will receive news from Jijing to understand the progress of Jijing's first line, of course, Han Teng will also send the situation on his side to Wang Jian in a very timely manner.

Since the Dai army retreated from the Jingcheng Fortress, the Qin army immediately regrouped and launched a pursuit attack on the Dai army. Meng Tian led the newly formed mixed army of infantry and bicycles, attacked continuously, fought several times with the Dai army, and won two big victories, one small victory, and one draw, killing a total of more than 6,000 people in the Dai army.

Although the scale of these battles was not too large, only one battle had more than 10,000 people, and the rest of the battles were all below 10,000 people, and the Dai army did not dispatch heavy armored cavalry, but the forces invested by the Qin army in each battle were all under the Dai army, or roughly the same, so these battles still proved that Meng Tian's mixed army tactics were effective.

Moreover, the scale of these battles is not large, and it may not be a good thing for the Qin army, because it can just give the Qin army a rare opportunity to practice this kind of mixed tactics, so Meng Tian is also more and more familiar with the fight, and the more he fights, the more handy he becomes. However, the Dai army fought and retreated, and retreated to the border of Hongshangsai and stationed.

Although the Dai army did not completely retreat to the Hongshang Fortress to garrison, the Dai Army had already built a large number of fortifications within the range of fifteen to twenty miles outside the Hongshang Fortress, and arranged a large number of heavy long-range strike weapons, and although the Qin army relied on Meng Tian's mixed army to win a few battles, the Dai army did not break its muscles and bones, and still maintained a strong enough strength, if it dared to attack the position of the Dai army, the Qin army was not very sure of victory, and would suffer a heavy loss.

In addition, after these battles, although the Qin army's chariots did not suffer much losses, but the wear and tear was very strict, nearly 100 chariots had one or another failure, although the damage was not strict, but to repair it, it still took a considerable amount of time, so the Qin army divided its troops into two ways to go down the village on the periphery of Hongshangsai, and did not launch an attack on the position of the Dai army, and the two sides temporarily held each other.

At this time, Cao Wuxian said: "My lord, I think that on the Jijing side, he may be the same as us, and he is fighting against the Dai Army, so there is nothing to say, so he didn't inform us." ”

Han Teng listened and was silent.

At this time, Huo Lieyang said: "I wonder if the acting army is using delaying tactics?" Now the national strength of the Qin State is insufficient, and it is difficult to maintain this war for a long time, so it wants to use this delaying strategy to drag on until the Qin army is unable to maintain it, and then send out to attack. ”

Cao Wuxian nodded and said: "Yes, now the Qin State can probably support it for about four months, so as long as it drags on like this, it will be beneficial to the Dai Army, and the plateau did this in the battle to defend the Great Liang, which consumed the Qin army for nearly two years, but at that time, the national strength of the Qin State was strong and it could afford it, and now the Qin State can not afford it." ”

Han Teng shook his head and said: "This battle is different from the Great Liang War, the Great Liang War, the plateau is to use the national strength of the Wei State to consume the Qin State, but this time, it is the power of the Dai County that is consumed, and it is not good for the Dai County to be consumed for a long time, because after all, the Dai County is small and has few people, if the national strength is fought together, it is impossible to fight the Qin State, in addition, with the habit of the plateau, I am afraid that this kind of tactic will not be used." ”

Cao Wuxian said: "But apart from delaying tactics, I really can't think of any other way for Gao Yuan, but ......." He smiled bitterly again, and said: "If Gao Yuan's intentions can be guessed so easily, then he will not be our most difficult opponent." ”

Han Teng also nodded and said, "Yes, although I can't guess what the purpose of the plateau is, there are two things I can be sure of, first, although we have won a few victories in the past few days, the scale of these victories is not large, and the Dai army has never dispatched their armored cavalry army, which shows that the Dai army still retains considerable strength, and we can't be carried away by these victories; Second, we can now be sure that the people of the White Spirit Clan have taken refuge in the plateau, and the White Spirit Clan is best at training beasts to fight, but until now, the plateau has never used fierce beasts to fight, maybe he is still hiding his last strength, and the two trump cards in our hands, the Kuafu clan and the chariot, have been blown out, and there is nothing to hide anymore, so this is also the point I am most worried about. ”

Huo Lieyang and Cao Wuxian listened, and they both nodded again and again, the two armies are fighting, and the most taboo thing is that the strength in their hands is exposed earlier than the opponent, and that side can maintain its strength to the end, the chance of victory will often be greater, and now the strength of the Qin army has all been blown out, and the Dai army obviously has reservations, so the situation of the Qin army is indeed not optimistic.

Han Teng said again: "There is another point that you have thought about, now the plateau is only using the Juyi cavalry army on our line, so the generation army on the first line of Jijing, is there a Jujia cavalry army, and the Bailing clan, will it be hidden in the generation army on the first line of Jijing, if there are really two such two armies in the generation army on the first line of Jijing, even if there is only one, if it is suddenly used, I am afraid it will be able to catch the Qin army by surprise, so now there is no news on the front line of Jijing, I think there must be some accident." ”

Cao Wuxian said: "If according to what the lord said, there is really an accident on the front line of Jijing, then there should be news coming, why has there been no news for seven or eight days?" ”

Han Teng also smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about this." ”

――――――――Dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― "Okay, it's really good." ”

Although Gao Yuan has always been calm, he finally couldn't help but scream at this time. Of course, not only the plateau, but also the people in the tent, Li Yinghong, Yuan Xuan, Zhao Xuan, Jiang Huanwu, Ling Feng, Chun Yubo, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and others are also overjoyed and surprised.

Because the news of the success of the raid on Jijing has just reached the hands of Gao Yuan.

The Dai army led by Sima Shang and Chen Shi not only achieved complete success in assaulting Jijing, but also killed Wang Jian, the chief general and general of the Qin army, and then defeated the Qin army in the pursuit battle, beheading more than 60,000 Qin troops before and after, and capturing more than 27,000 people, while the Dai army itself only lost more than 15,000 people, and more than 7,000 people were injured, and also captured a large number of tents, baggage, and materials of the Qin army. By the time the plateau received the good news, the Dai army had already driven the Qin army to the south bank of Yishui, and the entire Yan region, except for the Liaodong region far away in the northeast, was basically under the control of the Dai army.

To be honest, the victories achieved by Sima Shang and Chen Shi were indeed somewhat unexpected by the plateau, although it was said that the plateau began to be arranged nearly a year in advance, so it was not surprising that the assault on Jijing was successful. However, this battle not only killed the general of the Qin State, Wang Jian, but also killed and captured nearly 90,000 Qin troops, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Qin army was completely annihilated. Such a brilliant result was indeed something that no one expected.

It can be said that the victory of the Jijing front line has enabled the Dai army to gain a comprehensive initiative, because on the south bank of Yishui, the Qin State has not had many troops, and the Dai army can cross the Yishui with a little trimming, and enter Dongyang County, Julu County and other places in the past Zhao State, not only to cope with the battle on the Jingcheng-Hongshang front, but also to continue to open up the Yi domain and expand the sphere of influence of the Dai County.

Therefore, Li Yinghong immediately said: "We should immediately order Daijun to send reinforcements to General Sima, so that they can cross Yishui as much as possible and continue the attack." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "That's right, I'll give an order to Daijun right away." ”

At this time, Jiang Huanwu also came out and said: "Since the Jijing front line has made such great progress, our side can no longer be idle, and now that the Qin army has left Jingcheng and lost its geographical advantage, it is also the time for us to attack." ”

Yuan Xuan frowned and said, "However, during this period of time, the Qin army's mixed tactics of chariots, infantry and cavalry are quite powerful, if we want to attack the Qin army, we must first deal with this tactic of the Qin army." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, to be honest, when he first saw the Qin army using this kind of mixed tactics of chariots, infantry and cavalry, Gao Yuan was also startled, he didn't expect that in this era, he could actually produce this kind of armored machine and step coordination tactics similar to modern warfare, although it is still relatively rudimentary, but this tactical idea is correct, and it can give full play to the power of the chariot.

However, the combat vehicles used by the Qin army are not modern armored vehicles after all, and they cannot be compared with each other in terms of mobility or speed.
