Seeing off the members of the Shanhai Alliance, Ouyang Shuo began to mobilize the army to make final preparations.

The armies that went out included the Praetorian Guard Brigade led by Wang Feng, the Second Heavy Cavalry Brigade led by Lin Yi, the Fourth Light Cavalry Brigade led by Luo Shixin, and the Light Cavalry Independent Brigade led by Shaobu.

The 1st Brigade of the 1st Division defended the camp in the west of the city, the 3rd Brigade guarded the camp in the east of the city, and the 5th Brigade of the crossbow cavalry led by Sun Chuanlin changed the guard to the camp in the north of the city to assist the remaining 500 cavalry of the independent brigade to defend the camp in the north of the city.

Of course, Shi Wansui and Evil Lai, the two generals, also have to go out together.

Fortunately, all the troops were cavalry, and within one day, they all rushed to the base camp to assemble. In terms of logistical support, Ouyang Shuo directly took 200,000 military food pills from the Combat Readiness Department, which could be used by the army for 20 days. If you count the war horses, it can only last less than ten days.

Ouyang Shuo also wanted to bring more military food pills, one storage bag space is limited, and the production capacity of the two military factories is limited, and 200,000 military food pills are already the output of the military factory for nearly a month and a half.

Therefore, unless the Qin State could not provide logistical support, Ouyang Shuo would not use these military food pills.

According to the price of 1 silver coin of a military food pill, 200,000 military food pills are 2,000 gold coins, plus the transmission cost of 10,000 gold coins, before the battle started, Ouyang Shuo had already consumed 12,000 gold coins, if he couldn't achieve fruitful results, it would be a big loss.

************

On November 14 of the first year of Gaia, at nine o'clock in the morning, the system announcement sounded on time.

"System announcement: In 262 BC, the Qin army attacked King Hanye. Yewang surrendered to Qin, the party said goodbye, the whole of Korea was greatly panicked, and it was proposed to offer the party to rest the Qin soldiers, and the county guard Feng Ting was unwilling to enter Qin, so he sent a messenger to Zhao to ask for surrender, and the king of Zhao gladly accepted the party. Qin Jun was furious and ordered Wang Di, the chief of the left house, to lead the army to attack the party again, and Zhao Sui ordered Lian Po to lead the army to help, and the Qin army held on to Changping. ”

In the third year, Qin made a thousand gold lines against Zhao, and in July, Zhao changed generals and fought with Zhao Kuo instead of Lian Po. Qin Ze secretly transferred Wu Anjun Bai Qi as a general, and Bai Qi aimed at Zhao Kuo's weakness of pride and underestimation of the enemy, and adopted the operational policy of feint defeat and retreat, lure the enemy from the position, and then divide and encircle, and annihilate it, won the victory of the war, and killed 200,000 troops of Zhao State. The third epic battle, the Battle of Changping, has officially begun! ”

The 10,000 elite cavalry of Shanhai County completed the formation on the square and were ready to go.

After checking the conditions for participating in the battle as usual, the number of participants is determined, and the faction is selected.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for opening the campaign teleportation without clothes, the number of teleporters is 10,000 people, and the transfer fee of 10,000 gold coins will be deducted from the player's Wuyi."

"System Prompt: Teleportation Begins!"

After a brief whirlwind, Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared on the Changping battlefield.

"System prompt: Players are welcome to come to the base camp of the Qin State camp - Light Wolf City."

In 262 BC, the state of Qin captured Yewang, an important Korean town in Hanoi.

Yewang Zhengka's exit from Taihang Ba Cheng and Taihang 2 Taihang is an important stronghold to ensure that South Korea's Shangdang County enters Hanoi and then connects with the area south of the Yellow River in South Korea.

Losing Yewang, the connection between Shangdang County, which is located north of Taihang, and Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, was broken, and the barren and sparsely populated Shangdang County was a dead land for South Korea, so South Korea planned to exchange land for peace and cede Shangdang County to Qin, but Shangdang County Shou Feng Ting instead gave Shangdang County to Zhao to continue to resist Qin, which led to the war between Qin and Zhao for Shangdang - the Battle of Changping.

At that time, there was a fierce debate within the Zhao court on whether to accept the Shangdang, and Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, thought that Zhao Guo took possession of the Shangdang "Limo Dayan" without spending a single soldier, and agreed to accept it; Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao proceeded from the national strength of Qin and Zhao, Qin's comprehensive national strength was far superior to Zhao's, and he resolutely opposed accepting Shangdang's friendship with Qin.

Zhao Kuo analyzed from the perspective of ******** and came to the conclusion that Zhao Guo must accept the party.

Because if Qin State gets Shangdang County in South Korea, and then occupies Huguan, and then goes east to the fourth Taihang Prefecture, it can directly attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

It is precisely based on this that the Shangdang is a chicken rib for South Korea, but it is indeed a matter of life and death for the Zhao State, and the Qin State fights the Korean Shangdang, ostensibly to fight with Han, but in fact to prepare for the next attack on the Zhao State. Therefore, whether it is accepted or not, there will be a battle between Zhao and Qin, and by accepting the party, Zhao can gain the initiative to deploy in advance and prepare for the battle, which is a wise move.

In 262 BC, Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao, led the Zhao army to accept the Shangdang, and at the same time set up defenses in the Changping area to stop the Qin army. Lian Po's choice to deploy defense in the Changping area was determined by geographical conditions.

First, Changping is a strategic center with many superior military and geographical conditions in the entire Shangdang region. The area is dominated by hills, followed by mountains, and Pingchuan is secondary. The main river is the Dan River, and there are five major tributaries, the Xu River, the Dongcang River, the Xiaodongcang River, the Dongda River, and the Yonglu River, which are all over the whole territory in the form of a network, and the groundwater is abundant.

Such a geographical environment for war, the mountains are dangerous, especially in the west and north, there are higher passes, Changping passes, old passes and other groups of fortresses can be defended, the so-called "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open"; The hills are not hindered in the movement of troops, but they can act in concealment; The river valley and Pingchuan are extremely suitable for the dispatch of large troops and the planning and transfer of baggage, and there is no risk of food and drink for the army. All these are those who are extremely beneficial to the main army and not to the guest army.

Second, whether the Qin State attacked Shangdang or Handan, there were two strategic roads to take, namely the west road of the first line of Wuling and Laomaling, and the south road of the first line of Yangjiban and Tianjingguan. In other words, as long as Lian Po has a strong army to defend Changping, the Qin army will not be able to tiptoe to the party, let alone approach Handan.

The Zhao army went west from the capital city of Handan, crossed the fourth Shenkou of the "Taihang Eight Mountains", and then went west through Hukou Pass, began to enter the hinterland of Shangdang, and then turned southwest from then on, along the Bajishui, through Bayi Village, through the old pass into the Changping War Zone, and then followed the Xiaodongcang River Valley, through Kinmen Town to Hyunshi, and then divided the troops to deploy.

Hyun is located in the middle of the Dan River bed, at the confluence of the Dan River and the Xiaodongcang River, the terrain is relatively low and humid, and the terrain is open and flat. There are about 10 kilometers of open land on both sides of the river, although there are many hills in the middle, but it does not hinder the movement, and there are dangers to be feared, here you can not only move southeast along the Dan River riverbed, but also trace the Dan River riverbed to the northwest, and you can also trace the riverbed of the original village and Ma Cun that are roughly parallel to the southwest and go deeper.

After Lian Po was stationed in the Changping area, Dafan set up the following three lines of defense in turn.

First, the Laomaling defense line. In the center of Laomaling is a huge pass, which is known as Gaopingguan. Close the left cliff, the right steep stream, only the middle line, to pass the east and west. It is 350 meters long from east to west and 1,000 meters wide from north to south. There are river valleys leading to the bottom of the mountain in the east and west of the Kanto region, and there is a tributary of the Duanshi River in the west of the Yuxi River in the west of the Kansai region, although there is a Hao Mountain top in the east of the Kanto region, there are two sources of the Dan River tributary Xu River in the north and south of the mountain, and the original village river is under the east, and the river valley has good traffic conditions, and it is another heavy traffic throat and military key point between Shangdang and Hedong.

After Lian Po fortified on Laomaling, he built Eryan City at the intersection of the riverbed of the Macun River at the southern foot of Haoshan Mountain in the Guannei and the intersection of the riverbed of the Yuancun River at the northern foothills, thinking that it was the backup of the Laomaling outpost and forming a horn trend. The two cities are backed by mountains and rivers, and they are the gathering of a solid situation, and they can be stationed with heavy troops and rush to help Gaoping Pass at any time.

Erxiangcheng Shunma Village River and Yuancun River go east, to the confluence of the two rivers there is Kangying Village, the south of the village is the Xu River, the Henan is the Beiling Mountain, the west of the village is the intersection of the two rivers of Ma Village and the original village, and the west of the river is the Wolf Mountain. This village can be described as four mountains and three rivers confluence, forming a closed geographical environment, and at the same time, the three river valleys are bent outward, forming a typical military fortress that can advance and retreat, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Kangying is the "Light Wolf City", which was originally an important backup and supply base for the defense outpost of the Hyun clan and Daliangshan in the rear of Zhao; Later, it was captured by Wang Di, the chief of Qin's left house, and became the base for the Qin army's eastward advance.

The Light Wolf City where Ouyang Shuo and his entourage descended was here.

Not to mention this, let's first introduce the other two lines of defense arranged by Lian Po.

Second, the Dan River defense line. The Dan River originates from Gaoping, the eldest son of the boundary of the mountain Danzhu Ling, flows southeast, runs through the whole territory from the center of Gaoping, passes through Jincheng in the south, and flows into the Yellow River in Henan, the valley is deep and the flow is large, the coastal terrain is open, which is convenient for the movement of large troops.

Lian Po took advantage of this natural barrier to build a second line of defense along the mountain line on the east bank of the Dan River, which was the main defense line of the Zhao army, that is, the main position. This line of defense runs from the southeast of Hyun along the east bank of the Dan River to Zhaozhuang and Daliangshan to the junction of Gaoping and Jincheng, and the line of Xiachenggong Village; From the northwest of Hyun's along the east bank of the Dan River to Dianshang, Qijiayuan, Siege City, Shimen, Arrow, Sanjun, Hanwang Mountain, Yonglu, Changping, Digging Mountain, Jushui, Danzhuling line.

Big grain mountain, is the place where Lian Potun accumulates grain, from this mountain northeast line, there are Guanjia Ridge, seven Buddha Mountain in turn, three mountains even foothills, it is really a mountain. It is the highest mountain in the middle of the mountains, you can see the old pass to the northeast, you can see the old horse ridge to the southwest, and the Hanwang Mountain of more than 10 kilometers to the north, one south and one north, condescending, constitute the two eyes on the defense line of dozens of miles of the Zhao army, can make the whole battlefield enemy and us situation like the palm of the hand, can freely dispatch the self in the east of the river, and look at the enemy in the west of the river.

Such a situation, from the perspective of military geography, is extremely superior, especially in cold weapon warfare and ancient warfare without modern means of communication. There is a small Dongcang River valley on the left and a Dongcang River valley on the right, which extends parallel to the northeast and points to the direction of Handan, which can maintain close contact with the rear and ensure the supply of heavy grain.

The Lianpo shogunate is located in Daliangshan.

Hanwang Mountain, located in the north of Gaoping 7.5 kilometers, is the watershed of Dan River, Xiaodongcang River and Yonglu River, this mountain is independent Moyun, ascend to overlook, but see dozens of miles of river plains, villages, scenery on both sides of the Dan River, can be said to be vivid.

There is the general ridge of the remaining vein in the west of Hanwang Mountain, the towering can be compared with the main mountain, climb high and overlook, the line of the Dan River for dozens of miles, can also be seen in the end. Just as Daliangshan set up a curtain for Lian Po in the three-year confrontation stage, Hanwangshan was the shogunate of Zhao Kuo, the main general in the decisive stage, and the line from the western foot of Hanwangshan to the Dan River was the main battlefield of the decisive battle, that is, the center of the siege of the Zhao army in the end.

Changping Pass, located in the north of Gaoping and the junction of the eldest son, the north of the Guanbei is the source of the Turbidity Zhanghe River, belongs to the source of the Turbidity Zhanghe River, and there is the Dan River in the south of the Guannan. Guandong, west are the top of the mountain, the west mountain head is the Danzhu Ridge, is the highest peak of one side, the north slope of Changping Pass is relatively gentle, the south slope of the pass is steep, climb to the south and overlook, there is quite a condescending trend.

Changping Pass was the northern terminal of the second in-depth defense line of the Zhao army constructed by Lian Po, and was a huge defense to defend the Qin army from going east or north.

Third, the defense line of the Great Wall of Bailishi. This line of defense is also generally trending in the northwest and southeast, mainly in the east-west direction. This line of defense starts from Changping Pass in the west, winds east through Nangong Mountain to Sheep's Head Mountain, and then passes through Jinquan Mountain to the saddle gully at the junction of Lingchuan and Huguan, because there is a simple stone Great Wall that is 100 miles long along the mountain range, hence the name.

If Laomaling is Zhao's defensive outpost and Danhe is the main position, then the Bailishi Great Wall is Zhao's back road. This line of defense is the northeasternmost part of the line built by Lian Po, that is, the deepest into the rear of Zhao, that is, the last huge defense line related to the safety of the Shangdang and even the base camp Handan.

In the spring and summer of 262 BC, Lian Po deployed defenses on the front line of Laomaling, and Wang Yi led his army to prepare for an assault along the Qin River. The defenders of Zhao Laomaling encountered the Qin outpost troops, the defenders could not parry, and the Qin army advanced step by step.

Wang Di broke through Zhao's dangerous Laomaling and its defense cluster, captured its response and supply base - Guangwolf City, a fortress of four mountains and three rivers confluence, and swept away all the obstacles to the eastward entry of the Dan River, and entered the west bank of the Dan River in one go, thus forming a situation of confrontation with Zhao across the river.

In the encounter, Lian Po figured out that the Qin army's combat strength could not fight head-on with it, or in order to preserve its strength and wait for the opportunity to attack the enemy, he would withdraw to the front line along the mountains on the east bank of the Dan River without organizing resistance, stick to the favorable terrain, and rely on the Dan River to strengthen the Dan River defense line.

At this point, Lian Po waited for Qin, Qin Shu challenged, and Zhao Bing did not come out. In this way, he made full use of the favorable terrain he occupied, stuck to his position, and persisted for several years in a row, but Wang Di, who was strong and eager to fight, was at a loss and could not cross the Dan River one step.

The battle situation is in a state of stalemate.

The Qin army came from afar, and it was difficult to supply food and baggage, and it was also known as the so-called "country of tigers and wolves" that was warlike and thirsty for killing. Zhao Jun waited for work at ease, supplies could come in a steady stream, and he had the full support and cooperation of the party officials and the people. This determined that the Qin army was conducive to a quick battle, and Zhao was conducive to a protracted war.

It is impossible for the war situation to stay on the same level for a long time, or continue to develop according to Lian Po's strategic thinking, counterattack, and defeat or destroy the Qin army; Either there was an accident in the middle of the situation, or the Zhao court constrained itself, or it came from the Qin court's countermeasures, causing the situation to develop in the opposite direction.

As a result, Zhao Xiaocheng, who was young and rash and had military knowledge that was at most better than nothing, "did not dare to fight" with the strategy of waiting for work at ease and attacking the enemy later.

The king of Zhao thought that he would let go, and Qin Xiang Fan Ju made the people do gold in Zhao, because Zhao Kuo was able to fight Qin; At the same time, Qin Wen Ma served the general, Naiyin made Wu Anjun Bai Qi a general, and Wang Yi was a lieutenant general, and even made those in the army who dared to leak Wu Anjun's generals beheaded. From then on, the three-year stalemate and balance between the weak Zhao and the strong Qin were finally broken, and the battle situation took a sharp turn in the direction favorable to Qin and unfavorable to Zhao.

Ouyang Shuo descended to Guangwolf City, but it was not known how far Gaia would deduce the battle, whether it was in the stage of the three-year confrontation between Lian Po and Wang Di, or the stage of the decisive battle between Bai Qi and Zhao Kuo, everything was unknown. (To be continued.) )
