Chapter 408: Withdrawal
Bai Qi took charge of the soldiers, and Ouyang Shuo heard a system prompt sound in his ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, the generals under his command are white, and they have obtained the command of the Qin Dynasty camp, and the campaign contribution value will be rewarded with 50,000 points, and the campaign contribution value will be increased by 20%."
Tough!
50,000 campaign contribution points is enough to make other players' eyes bloodshot with jealousy. The campaign contribution point bonus is equivalent to saying that Ouyang Shuo will get an additional 2,000 contribution points if he earns 10,000 contribution points.
With the record of the army of Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo will win a lot of money.
This was followed by a campaign announcement.
"Battle announcement: General Bai Qi of Shanhai City, reached the hidden conditions, and obtained the command of the Qin Dynasty camp. Bai Qi succeeded Zhang Han and commanded the 450,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty camp and the Inhuman Legion. ”
As soon as the announcement came out, the lords were mixed.
For the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp, they were betting on the right treasure this time. The military god Bai Qi commanded the army of his camp, which must be much better than Zhang Han.
The most important thing is that Bai Qi will not be constrained by the imperial court, which is the most important thing.
After Bai Qi took charge of the army, the first military order issued was to order Wang Li's army and Zhang Han's army stationed in Yongdao to evacuate, lift the siege of Julu, and withdraw to the city of Thorn Yuan.
This hand is really beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Zhang Han was a little puzzled.
"Wu Anjun, Wang Lijun finally surrounded Julu, why did he withdraw his army?"
Bai Qi shook his head and asked, "In your opinion, can you capture the giant deer just by relying on Wang Li's army?" ”
"Can't!"
Zhang Han shook his head resolutely, if he could, he wouldn't have to make no progress for two months. Looking back at the Battle of Julu, there is a real hero behind the scenes, who has been deliberately forgotten by history.
This behind-the-scenes hero is Chen Yu, the minister of Zhao State.
As mentioned above, Li Liang, a general under King Wuchen of Zhao, was insulted by Wuchen's sister, and in a fit of rage, he killed King Wuchen of Zhao and his sister in the capital city of Handan.
After the ministers of Zhao Zhang Er and Chen Yu escaped, they supported the old nobleman Zhao Xie as the king of Zhao in Xindu, north of Handan, and then defeated Li Liang, who was chasing him.
This Chen Yu is his Chen Yu.
The real organizer and planner of the Battle of the Giant Deer was Chen Yu.
Why? Let's take a look at what Chen Yu did in the Battle of Julu.
First, gather the remnants of the army.
After Julu was besieged, Chen Yu actively recruited foreign aid to form the Hebei army.
Second, communicate with Julu City.
The two ministers of Zhao State, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, were close friends. Zhang Er and Zhao Wang Zhao Xie were trapped in Julu, and during the siege of the city, Chen Yu always had contact with the city.
Third, communicate with Xiang Yu's army and Zhao Jun.
Xiang Yu killed Song Yi and waved his army to rescue Julu, and the liaison between the two armies was Chen Yu.
Therefore, the core of the connection between the inside and outside the city and the reinforcements is Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was linked outside the city, and with only Wang Li's army, it was difficult to capture Julu City.
As soon as Zhang Han's voice fell, he frowned himself without waiting for Bai Qi to explain. If you think about it carefully, withdrawing troops now is indeed the best choice.
Although the Inhuman Legion joined, the Qin army could go to reinforce Wang Li's army. But don't forget, the Chu army camp on the other side of the Yellow River has also increased by more than 500,000 Inhuman legions.
In order to attack Julu, the Qin army was divided into two parts.
Part of it is in Julu City, and part of it is in Thornland City.
If the two armies can be linked, there will be nothing. The difficulty is that the Chu army led by Xiang Yu is stuck on the lifeline of the two armies, which is extremely uncomfortable.
It's like a snake that has been trampled on seven inches.
Continue to attack the giant deer? It couldn't be played in a short time. Standing on the defensive? and faced the threat of the Chu army at any time.
It's really hard to ride a tiger, and it's a dilemma.
There is Bai Qi commanding, although there will not be a situation in history where Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and attacked Wang Li's army, while Zhang Han's army watched from the wall.
But it is also extremely difficult to defeat the anti-Qin allies with this.
At most, the two sides can only maintain an undefeated battle, and they don't know how long they will face off. If you don't pay attention to it, you may be caught by the Chu army and caught off guard.
Therefore, after Bai Qi understood the entire battle situation, he decisively decided to break the wrist of the strong man, give up the siege of Julu, and instead retreat to the city of Thorn Plains with the whole army.
This is Bai Qi, never using troops according to common sense.
The withdrawal of troops is only the first step in Bai Qi's strategy, and he has further considerations.
The characteristic of Bai Qi's use of troops is that he likes to ponder, ponder through the opponent, and ponder the battle. He is often able to pinpoint the key to a battle.
Seeing that Zhang Han had already figured it out, Bai Qi continued: "The key to this victory and defeat is only the word grain and grass. ”
After Zhang Han defeated Handan, he scavenged all the grain around Handan and transported it to the base camp of Thorn Yuan City. Therefore, in history, Zhang Han's army was besieged for more than half a year, and there was still no food.
In the anti-Qin alliance, if the siege of Julu is lifted, the grain and grass problem of the Chu army can be alleviated in a short time, and it seems that the problem is not big.
In fact, the crisis lurks in the Inhuman Legion.
As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.
The 530,000 Inhuman Legions of the anti-Qin camp certainly bring powerful combat power. At the same time, it also brought an unexpected burden to the logistics of the Allied forces.
Julu City was besieged, and the food and herbs in the city were not sufficient.
If it's just the allies, it's better to say that it can last for half a month, but with more than 500,000 Inhuman legions, the allies will run out of food in less than a week.
However, in the surrounding area, there was no food for the Allies to loot.
Therefore, compared with the two, the Qin army that retreated to the Thorn Plains City was already invincible before the war.
At the same time, Bai Qi also had a thorough analysis of Xiang Yu's character.
With Xiang Yu's conceited character, he will never be consumed with the Qin army all the time. The only way out is to use the method that Xiang Yu is best at to solve the problem, that is, to forcibly attack Thorn Yuan City.
In this way, the Qin army has a geographical advantage.
For a time, the time and place were on the side of the Qin army.
I have to say that Bai Qi's plan is more than a step higher than Zhang Han.
After listening to this, Zhang Han was not convinced.
The next step was to discuss how to ensure that Wang Li's army could evacuate smoothly and not be raided by the anti-Qin allied forces. In this regard, Zhang Han is experienced and does not need to point out in vain.
On the first day of the battle, Bai Qi set the general tone for the entire battle.
Of course, Xiang Yu's strong individual combat power and terrifying explosiveness are the biggest uncertainties. Whoever dares to underestimate Xiang Yu will definitely fall on his heels. The name of the first fierce general in the ages is not called in vain. In history, both Wang Li and Liu Bang have suffered a lot from Xiang Yu.
The Jiangdong warriors led by Xiang Yu launched a madman, which was simply terrifying.
The battle of the giant deer is far from the time when it is possible to make a conclusion.
**********
In the next two days, Wang Li's army, under the escort of Zhang Han's army, successfully withdrew to Thornyuan City.
Before the king left, he took all the food in the camp with him. Those who couldn't take it away were burned all the way up, and not a single grain of grain was left for the allies.
At the same time, Xiang Yu was able to complete the reorganization of the Inhuman Legion.
Upon learning of the king's retreat, the siege of Julu was unexpectedly lifted.
Xiang Yu didn't think about it, crossed the Yellow River with the situation, and the whole army moved to Julu City.
At the same time, the 300,000 princes who had been watching from the wall also entered Julu City. At this point, the Battle of Julu has completely embarked on a trajectory completely different from the historical track.
The two sides of the camp, each based on a city, confronted each other in the north and south.
The specific location of Thorn Yuan City is in Shuiye Town in the west of Anyang, where the north, south and west sides are the Taihang Yu Vein, which is shaped like a pocket, and Shuiye Town is located at the bottom of the pocket.
And Anyang City happens to be the mouth of the pocket, although it is a pocket, but it is not a Jedi.
There is a road to the west from Shuiye Town through the steep Taihang Mountains, leading to Linzhou, and then to the south, you can enter Hanoi County, the rear of Zhanghan.
The terrain here is dangerous, the north is the watershed of Zhangshui and Huanshui, and Zhangshui and Huanshui come out of the mountain from west to east along the foot of the mountain, forming a natural barrier.
After Bai Qi took charge of the army, he arranged a large army on the front line of Thornland City and built three fortifications overnight. One by one, they reached the foot of Thorn Plains.
Although he retreated to Thorn Plains City, Bai Qi pursued an active defensive strategy.
Building fortifications is Bai Qi's strong point.
At the same time, Bai Qi also carried out a rough reorganization of the 450,000 Qin army and more than 700,000 Inhuman legions, and allocated a rough defense area.
The 150,000 kings left the army, mainly elite light cavalry, and were arranged by Bai Qi as the general reserve army, responsible for responding and reinforcing all parts of the battlefield at any time, which was equivalent to a firefighting team.
Of the 300,000 Zhang Han troops, 150,000 of them were stationed in Thorn Plains City. The remaining 150,000 troops are centered on three fortifications to form a longitudinal defensive chain.
More than 700,000 Inhuman legions were either arranged on three fortifications or placed on the city walls.
For each unit, there is a specific defensive position.
In this way, for the Inhuman Legion, if it wants to gain campaign contribution points, it is necessary to directly confront the anti-Qin Allied forces in the section it is responsible for.
If you win, you will be fruitful; defeated, and I can't blame others.
The arrangement of Bai Qi minimizes the contradictions and confrontations within the Inhuman Legion.
Regarding this arrangement, the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp had nothing to say, and completely dispelled the doubts in their hearts. Bai Qi was in charge of the troops, and the lords had no doubts before, and Bai Qi would have a special preference for the Shanhai Alliance.
Facts have proved that they are just living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Bai Qi truly treats everyone equally.
The only weird thing was that the three thousand forest guards led by Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the chaos to disappear in Thorn Plains City.
After that, until the end of the battle, the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp did not see Ouyang Shuo again. disappeared with him, as well as the two daughters of Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner.
In this regard, although the lords were puzzled, they did not take it to heart.
As long as the army of Shanhai City is still holding on to Thorn Plains City, nothing else is a problem. In such a great war, the role of the lord is minimal. (To be continued.) )
