Chapter 264: A Shocking Mystery
There is also a registration point in the Light Wolf City, which is registered by a Qin military captain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Ouyang Shuo finished registering, he didn't leave immediately, and said, "Dare to ask the general, what is the current battle situation?" ”
When the captain registered, he knew that the alien in front of him had 10,000 troops, so he did not turn a deaf ear to Ouyang Shuo's question, and replied briefly: "Wu Anjun used his troops like a god, and sent General Yingbao to lead an iron cavalry to insert behind the Great Wall of Shi, successfully captured Changping Pass, and cut off the passage between the Zhao army and the hinterland of Handan; General Wang Ling led an iron cavalry into the valley of the Xiaodongcang River, cutting off the connection between the Zhao army and the Shicheng Great Wall fortress. Now the main army of more than 400,000 people of Zhao State has been trapped in the mountains of the Changping River Valley and has become a trapped beast. ”
"What?" Ouyang Shuo was shocked, he didn't expect that Gaia had already deduced the battle situation to this point. According to normal logic, at this point, Zhao Jun will definitely be defeated.
Something is wrong, it's just so wrong. One is that Gaia will not arrange such an unequal battle, and the other is that since Emperor Chen and they learned the inside story in advance, they still chose the camp of Zhao State.
If there were no variables in this, Ouyang Shuo would not believe it.
Unlike Ouyang Shuo, the lords who lined up behind them to register, when they heard the captain's answer, they were all elated, thinking that they had chosen the right camp and were waiting to pick up the cheap.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, left the registration point, and found the allies of the Shanhai Alliance.
Among the allies, Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner are both first-class earls with 3,000 troops. The rest except for Song Wen, who is a third-class earl, the rest of the people are all second-class earls, leading a thousand soldiers.
Therefore, the total strength of the Shanhai Alliance reached 20,500 people, and all of them were cavalry troops.
Among the cavalry, the cavalry of Lingxi County and Xunlong County were the most elite, and their commanders were the generals Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong.
Of course, no matter how gorgeous it is, it can't compare to the strong lineup of Shanhai County.
Among the generals of Shanhai County, Shi Wansui and Evil Lai have all appeared, but Luo Shixin is the first time to be exposed, which naturally attracts the envy of Bai Hua and others.
Especially the phoenix prisoner, her territory still does not have a decent general. When he saw the three generals of Shanhai County, Shi Wansui, Evil Lai and Luo Shixin, he almost drooled, and there was no lady image at all.
Speaking of which, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong still have intersections, and when the two meet, they have mixed feelings.
Among the generals, Shi Wansui was skilled in foot riding, and he was the oldest and was appointed as the main general by Ouyang Shuo. Zhang Liao and Evil Lai are deputy generals, and Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are deputy generals.
If you count Mu Guiying, the generals of the Shanhai Alliance can be called luxurious.
In order to facilitate command, Ouyang Shuo discussed with Bai Hua and the others, and simply divided the troops into 20,000 teams. The 10,000 cavalry of Shanhai County formed a team of its own, commanded by the original team of Shanhai County, with Evil Lai as the main general, and Luo Shixin and Lin Yi as the deputy generals. The remaining 10,500 people formed another team, with Zhang Liao as the main general and Mu Guiying and Qin Qiong as the deputy generals. Shi Wansui, as the chief general of the whole army, coordinates and commands in the center.
As for the lords of Bai Hua, they basically don't have to go to the battlefield. It was Ouyang Shuo himself, after getting the Heavenly Demon Spear, he was a little eager to try, and his current strength was enough to protect himself on the battlefield.
Just when the members of the Shanhai Alliance were reorganized into teams, the battle announcement sounded at the right time.
"Battle Announcement: Battle of Changping, a total of 100 lords participated, with a total strength of 73,000. There are a total of 28 lords in the Qin camp, with a total strength of 31,000; There are a total of 72 lords in the Zhao camp, with a total strength of 42,000. ”
In this battle, all 100 lords with county-level territories participated, and none of them were absent. Among these lords, more than eighty percent of them were third-class counts, and they could only lead five hundred troops; The rest are basically second-class counts, with a thousand troops. As for the second-class earl and above, there are only three people, Ouyang Shuo, Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner.
Emperor Chen, they played all the relationship cards and successfully won over two-thirds of the lords, which is indeed remarkable.
It's a pity that the title advantage of Ouyang Shuo, Bai Hua and Phoenix Prisoner completely makes up for the difference in numbers, and the comparison of the strength of the two sides is not a huge difference.
"Campaign Announcement: Because the Qin faction is weaker than the Zhao faction, according to the campaign rules, the Qin faction will automatically receive a 20% increase in the movement speed of the troops."
It's a movement speed bonus, which is unusual. For the Shanhai Alliance army, which is all cavalry, it is undoubtedly another major good news.
"Battle announcement: According to the results of the title and merit value test, the representative of the Qin State camp is a third-class marquis. The representative of the aliens in the Zhao camp is Emperor Chen, a second-class earl. ”
Ouyang Shuo's identity as a representative of the alien can be shaken. However, with the forbearance of the Battle of Muye, Emperor Chen finally surpassed Chun Shenjun and became the alien representative of the Zhao camp.
The 30,000 troops of the Inhuman Legion of the Qin State camp were placed in the military camp of Light Wolf City, under the control of General Mengfu. After the army was properly settled, the members of the Shanhai Alliance rushed to Ouyang Shuo's camp to discuss matters with great tacit understanding.
Ouyang Shuo introduced what he had learned to his allies.
Wu Anjun Bai had five generals under his account, namely Wang Di, Meng Fu, Wang Ling, Huan Di and Ying Bao, and after completing the encirclement of the main force of the Zhao army, there were still 500,000 troops.
Zuo Shu Chang Wang Ji did not need to be introduced, and the veteran Lian Po confronted for three years, at this time led more than 200,000 troops, stationed on the front line of Laomaling, built the Laomaling camp in the west, and blocked the passage of the Zhao army from the west to the east of the river.
The defender of Guangwolf City, Meng Fu, led an army of 150,000 to build a southern line of camps, and the passage for the Zhao army to break through the south along the Danshui River Valley was also blocked.
Wang Ling and Ying Leopard are two strange soldiers, and now they have a firm foothold.
Wang Ling led 25,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers to build a northern camp at the confluence of the Guguan and Xiaodongcang rivers, and the connection between the Zhao army and the northern support base Shi Great Wall was cut off.
Ying Bao led 25,000 iron cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers to build a camp in the northeast area of the Great Wall of Shi, and the passage out of Taihang Mountain in the east was completely blocked.
In the end, it was the 50,000 iron cavalry led by Huan Yu, hidden behind the Light Wolf City, as the general reserve.
As for the shogunate of the great shogun Bai Qi, it was located on the Wolf Mountain outside the Light Wolf City.
Like the Qin army, the Zhao army also had more than 500,000 troops, of which more than 400,000 main forces were besieged in the Changping area. The remaining 100,000 troops were stationed at the fortress. Therefore, Guan is also the chief grain and grass warehouse of Zhao Jun. The grain and grass hoarded in the Guanguan were enough to support the whole army for two months, even without the support of the capital Handan.
Such a strange situation made Bai Hua and the others puzzled.
"This, is Gaia funny, in such a situation, the Qin camp will win steadily, what else is there to fight in this battle, just wait for the harvest contribution to be worthwhile." The siege lion spoke first.
"I think it's you who show off, Gaia must have a deep meaning when he arranges it like this." The Dragon Finder immediately retorted.
"You!"
"Okay, stop arguing." The phoenix prisoner interrupted the two enemies, "Even if Gaia Xiu is funny, Emperor Chen and they are not stupid, how could they jump into the pit with their eyes open, and make a war against us with great fanfare." ”
"Mr. Gonghe, do you think Zhao Jun wants to break this situation, what can you do?" Bai Hua did not participate in the argument, but looked at Fu Zhu and consulted his opinion. Like Ouyang Shuo, she trusts professional strategists.
"According to the current situation and historical trend, the next step should be for the Zhao army to fight to the death, trying to capture the camp of Wangling, and join the defenders stationed in the old pass to obtain food and grass supplies." Fu Zhu did not immediately express his position, but first analyzed the situation in front of him, and then said: "Historically, this great breakthrough, including the breakthrough of the follow-up organization, ended in failure. In the end, 400,000 Zhao troops had to surrender because of the lack of food. ”
Therefore, his subordinates thought that the key to Zhao Jun's breakthrough was in the first big breakthrough. At this time, there were still a few days of food and grass in the Zhao military camp, and it was a battle against the water, with the strongest morale, and the physical strength was well preserved, and the combat power was comparable to the peak. Historically, this breakout was almost successful, and in the end it fell short. Now the more than 40,000 Inhuman legions joined by the Zhao camp are the biggest variable in this battle, and the key to breaking the situation, and the only hope for the Zhao army to turn the situation around. ”
Ouyang Shuo frowned, and said suspiciously: "According to what Mr. said, the Zhao State camp has added more than 40,000 Inhuman legions, but doesn't the Qin State camp also have 30,000 Inhuman legions?" In terms of combat power, I don't think it will be comparable to the opponent's 40,000 army. ”
"That is, not to mention the elite cavalry brought by the eldest brother, it is the tacit understanding formed by our Shanhai Alliance several joint operations, and the gap of 10,000 troops is not enough to change the trend of the battle." The dragon point is also puzzled.
"Also, with the caution of Emperor Chen and the others, such a small advantage in strength is simply not enough for them to take such a risk to join the Zhao State camp, and there must be other variables in this." Phoenix said.
"If, I mean, what if, if Emperor Chen and they carry a large number of military food pills to supply the main force of the Zhao army?" He followed suit and made a bold assumption.
"When it comes to military ration pills, Wuyi has the most right to speak. No clothes, do you think this is possible? Bai Hua asked.
Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, then shook his head resolutely and said, "Impossible." The main force of the Zhao army is more than 400,000, plus the consumption of war horses and the consumption of the Inhuman Legion itself. Even if you save money, you will need at least 600,000 or more military food pills a day. With such a huge consumption, even if Emperor Chen can prepare it, they can't afford it. Converted, it is more than 6,000 gold coins a day. In less than ten days, Emperor Chen and they will have to go bankrupt. ”
"What's more, with the production capacity of Shanhai County, it can only produce 5,000 military food pills a day. Millions of military food pills, how long in advance to start preparation, and how many units of grain to consume. With the strength of Emperor Chen, combined with the recent food crisis, it is simply impossible to achieve. ”
All of a sudden, the meeting reached an impasse. (To be continued.) )
