Chapter 210 What is our army’s goal in this battle? A good opportunity for Chu
Daliang City was filled with cheers from the Qin army. Many Qin troops ran wildly on the streets, searching for the Wei army that was still resisting and trying to gain more military glory.
But the excitement was theirs, and Ying Chengyu felt helpless.
Now that Daliang City has fallen into the hands of Da Qin, King Zeng of Wei has been captured, Wei's military strength has been defeated, and Wei has no chance to stand up.
But an embarrassing question was placed in front of Ying Chengyu.
Da Qin's pre-war meeting clarified the core goals and guiding ideology of this war.
The goal of this battle is to destroy Zhao!
The strategic goal of Ying Chengyu's troops was to pretend to attack Wei and lure Zhao to send troops to help, so that Wang Jian's troops could take advantage of Zhao's emptiness to attack Handan.
Neither Da Qin nor Ying Chengyu personally thought about destroying Wei from the beginning to the end!
Who would have thought that Wei would die like this!
"I haven't even dug embankments to divert water to the city. How come the Wei Kingdom has perished!" Ying Chengyu sighed softly: "It's too inexperienced!"
"What will I do next? Let’s do it!”
Gao Ming, who had just returned from searching for the coffin:? ? ?
Gao Min looked at Ying Chengyu in disbelief, his voice trembling with anger: "What are you talking about?"
"You are not the son of a man! You are not the son of a man!"
"You led the troops to destroy our Wei Dynasty, and it's my fault, Wei Dynasty?"
Ying Chengyu's words are too hurtful!
I, Wei, have tried my best!
In your eyes, is it too rough?
Even the King of Wei drew his sword and joined the battle, what more do you want from me, the Great Wei!
Ying Chengyu had no mind to pay attention to Gao Min. He waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to escort Gao Min to the city gate tower. He immediately gave the order: "Send orders to Meng Nan, Jiang Ming, Xifeng... and other captains to come immediately after counting the troops in our headquarters." Meet me!”
Not long after, a beaming Meng Nan came on horseback.
"Lieutenant Meng Du?" Seeing Meng Nan from a distance, Jiang Ming greeted with a smile: "Lieutenant Meng Du can't even hide his smile. I think I will gain a lot in this battle!"
Meng Nan said modestly: "Just so so."
But soon Meng Nan couldn't help but said with a smile on his face: "It's just a matter of beheading six thousand people and capturing the city! ”
No wonder Meng Nan couldn't hold back his laughter despite his age.
Although winning 6,000 in the siege battle is not enough to upgrade the first-level title, coupled with the first victory in the battle to attack Daliang City and the victory in capturing the city, Meng Nan has a chance to improve his title and military position. Mention it.
In this way, Meng Nan is fully qualified to serve as deputy general when he goes to war again!
You know, the Meng clan has not produced a deputy general-level figure for decades!
Meng Nan couldn't help but feel longing in his heart.
As long as he hugs Ying Chengyu's thigh, maybe he can lead the Meng clan back to its former peak!
Jiang Ming handed over his hand in surprise: "After this battle, the title of Lieutenant Meng Du will have to be mentioned again!"
Meng Nan laughed heartily: "Hahahaha~ Pontu The captain even retired and returned home a few years ago. "
"I'm lucky that I didn't let the coach trust me and fought this battle well."
"I'm lucky to follow the coach. Only by fighting this battle can such great achievements be achieved!”
Meng Nan smiled and asked: "I haven't asked yet, how did Captain Jiang achieve in this battle?"
Jiang Ming also made a gesture with a smile.
Meng Nan asked uncertainly: "Nine hundred?"
Jiang Ming laughed: "It's nine thousand!"
"In addition to the nine thousand gains, our troops also Captured more than 6,000 Wei troops!”
As he spoke, Jiang Ming felt excited.
Since Jiang Ming joined the army, he has never gained so much in total!
Sure enough, it is fun to fight with Lord Changan!
Meng Nan was shocked: "How could there be so many!"
Another captain, Xi Feng, had also driven over. Hearing this, he laughed heartily: "Wei's reinforcements were frightened by the coach. Courage, run away in embarrassment.”
"How can you not kill the enemy who has fled in pursuit?"
"Not to mention Jiang Duwei's troops, our troops also beheaded more than 7,000 people!"
"If it weren't for the Wei army, The surrender was too quick, and I would have won at least over ten thousand in this battle!"
Meng Nan was paralyzed.
How come you guys have gained so much?
Meng Nan felt a little sour.
But after the sourness, Meng Nan also gave up and praised: "In this way, after this battle, the two of you will be promoted to another title!"
One will become famous and thousands of bones will wither.
There are more than tens of thousands of corpses exposed inside and outside Daliang City?
All the generals of the Qin army gained a lot in this battle, and more than 30% of the captains were promoted to another rank after the war.
As the generals gathered together, the chatter and laughter became more and more enjoyable.
But when Meng Nan saw Ying Chengyu from a distance, he pulled Jiang Ming's sleeve: "Silence!"
Meng Nan looked at Ying Chengyu from a distance and whispered: "Coach I don’t seem to be in a good mood.”
The captains quickly shut up.
Don’t let your leaders have fun when they are unhappy. You still have the foresight to see them.
Quickly approaching Ying Chengyu, Meng Nan and other captains dismounted from their horses and saluted: "Greetings, Commander!"
Ying Chengyu was still frowning in thought, and only nodded slightly when facing the questions from the captains.
Meng Nan asked tentatively: "But what changes are there in the war?"
"The last general can lead the army to share the worries of the commander!"
Jiang Ming and other captains also came together Qi Qi cupped his hands and said: "The last general is willing to go!"
Ying Chengyu then raised his head, looked at the captains and asked: "Have you forgotten the goal of our army in this battle?"
Meng Nan blurted out: "How could you forget?"
< br>"In this battle, our army is trying to delay Zhao's troops for General Wang Jian's command..."
Halfway through the words, Meng Nan was stunned.
Yes!
Their goal in this battle was to help Wang Jian delay Zhao's troops.
Let’s take a look at the results of their work.
They only held back Zhao's 50,000 troops and one veteran general. Even Zhao's standing troops were not brought to Wei, and they were still fighting fiercely with Wang Jian in Zhao.
The planned strategy was for Ying Chengyu to hold back the Zhao soldiers and horses for Wang Jian. But now it's better, it's Wang Jian who is holding back Zhao's troops for Ying Chengyu!
From this perspective, Ying Chengyu’s unit had a lonely battle, and its strategic objectives were completely accomplished.
If Ying Chengxuan had opposition in the court, he could even be impeached in the name of disrespecting the king's order!
Meng Nan's voice became lower: "But if we destroy the Wei State, we should be able to overcome it... right?"
Looking at all the captains looking at each other, Ying Cheng Xiu steeled himself and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about the blame for the failure of the strategy."
"The strategy of the army is determined by this general. If there is any culpability, this general will shoulder the responsibility." ”
"How many soldiers and horses do you have under your generals' command?"
Meng Nan immediately said: "Our remaining troops are 49,760."
Other captains also hurriedly replied: " We have six thousand three hundred and eighty-two remaining soldiers."
"My army..."
After all the captains finished answering, Ying Chengyu murmured softly: "There are still ninety thousand left. More than 8,600 soldiers and horses.”
"Including the Mengwu Department, our department can mobilize more than 132,000 troops."
The battle to destroy Wei was both for the Wei State and Ying Chengyu. Both sides tried their best and the fight was extremely brutal.
From the Battle of Xiuyu City to the Battle of Daliang City, Ying Chengyu's troops suffered great losses in this battle.
But fortunately, Da Qin won the final victory.
Three days after the first attack, a military exploit was enough to cover up all the sadness!
Ying Chengyu gently tapped the map of Kun with the wooden stick in his hand, thinking constantly in his heart.
There are two choices before Ying Chengyu.
First, immediately lead all the troops and horses to the north. After crossing the Yellow River, they will join Wang Jian's troops on the left and right to attack the State of Zhao.
This is the choice that is most in line with the established strategy. After the war, no one can find anything wrong.
Second, postpone the march northward and invade the territory of Wei.
This is not in line with the guiding ideology of the pre-war meeting, and Ying Chengxuan may be punished afterwards.
But, it’s coming!
Wei has been completely destroyed. We can’t let Ying Chengyu return empty-handed and give those territories to Chu, Yan and other countries in vain!
Ying Chengyu really wanted to ask Ying Zheng what he should do next.
It can be said that the soldiers need to gallop day and night for seven days to run from Daliang City to Xianyang City. The round trip takes half a month.
However, it only takes two days to reach Handan by land from Daliangcheng, and it only takes three days to reach Shouchun by water.
If we wait for Ying Zheng’s order before taking any action, the day lily will be cold!
Ying Chengxuan must make his own analysis based on the current situation.
While looking at the map of Kun, Ying Chengyu asked: "Did the county magistrate of Wei be captured in this battle?"
Jiang Ming immediately said: "Our troops captured Li Feng and Lin, the magistrates of Xiangcheng County. Tang Luo, the county magistrate, both of them are willing to surrender.”
Xi Feng immediately replied: "Zou Yun, the magistrate of Xiangling County, took the initiative to surrender to our army and is now under the custody of the Chinese army."
Ying Chengyu said with a smile on his face: "Very good!"
"With General Wang's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to hold on for another month or two."
Considering Wang Jian's ability, Ying Chengyu finally made a decision: "Order! The entire army will rest for three days. ."
"After declaring his merits, he ordered Captain Jiang Ming to lead his troops and carry the general's handwriting and transfer to Yangzhai with Li Feng, the magistrate of Xiangcheng County."
"First, use my general's order to mobilize the Yangzhai soldiers and horses to join forces, then go to Xiangcheng to capture Xiangcheng County soldiers, and seize the cities around Kunyang and Luyang in Xiangcheng!"
"Order Duwei Wangqun and Duwei Xifeng to join forces. , with the western front as the main force, march eastward with the Xiangling County magistrate, capture the Xiangling troops and then march towards Chengqiu. "
"Before the expedition, we will order Wei Zengzhi to issue a document requesting surrender from the king of Wei, so as to facilitate the attack. The generals persuaded them to surrender."
"The rest of the troops followed the general and marched into the forest!"
Ying Chengyu finally decided on the overall strategy of going to Te Niang.
How can you not eat the fat that reaches your mouth!
All the captains were excited, and they all raised their hands: "Wei!"
......
Three days later.
Shuchun Palace.
King Chu Han, who was thirty-two years old at the time, was sitting on the high platform. His uncle, Yin Liyuan, the commander of Chu State, was sitting next to King Han Han like Lu Buwei in the past.
On both sides of the stairs, the important officials of Chu State are sitting here.
Just below the stairs, Wei Jia, who had fled all the way here, bowed his hands and saluted: "Prince Wei Jia, pay your respects to the King of Chu!"
The King of Chu asked in a warm and gentle voice: "I don’t know, Prince Wei What are you doing here in Dachu?"
Wei Jia said sincerely: "The foreign minister is here to ask for help!"
King Han of Chu kept silent habitually, but Li Yuan actually spoke: "After the battle against Qin, our great Chu is exhausted and still needs to cultivate itself."
"We will wait for our great Chu to straighten out the affairs of the country." , we should send troops to reinforce Wei."
"Please wait a moment, Prince Wei."
Wei Ji said anxiously: "It is not just a matter of one country to weaken Qin. If Qin is strong, If Wei does not exist, Chu will not exist either!”
“Rescuing Wei is not only to save Wei, but also to save the future Chu!”
Li Yuan nodded seriously: "What Prince Wei said is very true!"
"Qin is the public enemy of all countries in the world. Only when all countries unite, reinforce each other, and attack Qin together can we Keep all countries safe!"
Wei Jia tried his best to persuade.
What Li Yuan said was more pleasant than Wei Jia!
The necessity of rescuing Wei was clearly stated by Li Yuan, but when it came to reinforcements, Li Yuan kept delaying it.
Just when Wei Jiu was already sweating, Wei Jiu, who came with Wei Jiu, finally said: "With the strength of the Qin army, our great Wei may no longer exist."
Wei Jiu He looked at Wei Jiu in disbelief: "Brother Jiu, what are you talking about!"
Li Yuan and King Chu Han couldn't help but look at Wei Jiu.
Wei Jiu greeted everyone's gaze calmly and said solemnly: "But even if we are defeated as Wei Dynasty, the Qin army will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"When the foreign ministers left Daliang City , nearly half of Chang'an Jun's troops have been lost in the battle, and there are less than 100,000 troops. "
"Now that Qin is at war with Zhao and Wei at the same time, Qin no longer has the troops to reinforce Chang'an Lord's troops!"
After a pause, Wei Jiu asked: "Don't the King of Chu think this is a good opportunity for Chu?"
