Chapter 701: One general can defeat thousands of troops! Ying Chengyu rushed thousands of miles to help!
Two hours ago.
Listening to the intelligence sent back by the scouts, Ying Chengyu's eyes narrowed: "Zhao Jun has actually invaded Li City!"
This was far beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation.
This puts Ying Chengyu’s overall plan in jeopardy!
Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "Commander, Zhao Jun has captured half of the east wall of Licheng."
"In this way, the defenders of Licheng will no longer be able to rely on the city wall to resist Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun's military superiority will be completely eliminated Show."
"With the strength of Licheng's defenders, even if Magistrate Ge doesn't surrender, he can only hold on for a few more hours."
"And if our army wants to arrive. It will take at least seven hours to reach Licheng!”
“But the sun will set in three hours at most.”
"If our army marches overnight, it will take at least ten hours to reach Licheng."
This is the result of the whole army's rush.
As we all know, the soldiers after a rapid march are seriously exhausted. If they are directly thrown into the battlefield, it is tantamount to sending the soldiers to the enemy for slaughter!
If Ying Chengyu's troops want to maintain the most basic combat effectiveness while rushing to Licheng, they will have to wait until noon tomorrow at least.
But at that time, Licheng must have already turned into the state of Zhao!
Meng Tian was unwilling but helpless and said: "Master."
"Licheng can't be saved!"
Su Jiao and other generals lowered their heads, unwilling to let the unwillingness in their eyes be suppressed. Ying Chengyu noticed.
Ying Chengxuan tightened his grip on the reins and looked towards the direction of Licheng, with determination in his eyes: "Licheng cannot be lost!"
"Once Licheng is lost, this battle will The initiative will fall into the hands of Zhao Jun. ”
"It is very detrimental to our army!"
Although Li Mu was a general of the Zhao State, Li Mu did not participate in the Qin-Zhao wars many times. Li Mu's main opponent in his war career was the Huns, followed by the Yan State. .
So compared to the mountain battles that often broke out between Qin and Zhao, Li Mu was better at annihilation battles in wide terrains!
Once Licheng falls, Li Mu can break through the Taihang Mountains and enter the Changzhi area, and use the Changzhi area to spread his army and bring the war to the rhythm that Li Mu is good at.
Ying Chengxuan thought it would be difficult to defeat Li Mu.
If the rhythm of the battlefield is controlled by Li Mu again, how will this battle be fought?
Meng Tian comforted him with a warm voice: "The coach is already trying his best to help."
"And the coach had predicted that Zhao Wuanjun would attack quickly and win the battle quickly before setting off for the battle. "
"It's just that Wu'an City is too close to Taihang Mountain and Xianyang City is too far away from Taihang Mountain."
"This is not a crime of war"
Su Jiao said firmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Licheng is indeed crucial, but this city is only temporarily handed over to Zhao Jun for safekeeping for a few days."
>"When our army arrives in Licheng, I will lead my troops as the vanguard to recapture Licheng for you!"
Sima Shang's judgment is correct.
The main force of the Qin army led by Wang Jian has not yet left Hedong County and entered Shangdang County.
Even though Wang Jian was trying his best to hurry, it would take at least ten more days for Da Qin's main army to reach the Taihang Mountain battlefield.
Ying Chengyu, on the other hand, asked Ying Zheng to order Shangdang County to immediately organize the army on the spot during the pre-war military meeting. The day after he decided to go on an expedition, he personally led a thousand soldiers and one army. Thousands of knights from the Lantian Camp and a group of generals set out on horseback and carriages.
When passing by Shangdang County, Ying Chengyu did not stop at all. After taking the 70,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Shangdang County, he ran away!
With all his efforts, Ying Chengyu finally arrived in Changzhi today.
Although Ying Chengyu still failed to catch up with the battle of Licheng.
But whoever evaluates it can only say that Ying Chengyu's judgment was correct, and Ying Chengyu really tried his best.
It’s a pity that the distance between the two countries and the Taihang Mountains makes all Ying Chengyu’s efforts turn into sighs!
Ying Chengyu tapped his horse's back with his fingers and said softly: "No!"
"Licheng is certainly dangerous, but Licheng has not fallen yet."
" It takes ten hours for our army to reach Li City, but if we only attack with knights and prepare one person and three horses for each knight, our army can reach Li City in only two hours!"
"Two hours!"
"I believe Magistrate Ge can delay these two hours for me!"
All the generals including Meng Tian, Su Jiao and others were shocked.
Su Jiao said without hesitation: "No!"
"If our army can enter Licheng before the battle of Licheng begins, it will be enough to help Licheng resist the enemy."
"If our army moves forward, we can take advantage of the geographical advantage to fight Zhao Jun."
"But our army only has more than 15,000 good riders, and most of them are following me from Xianyang City. Weary soldiers who came with the army."
"There are only two thousand knights among them!"
"How can we defeat Zhao General Sima with only fifteen thousand knights? Shang's 80,000 soldiers and horses!"
Even if we add in the remaining troops in Li City, there is more than four times the strength difference between the troops that Da Qin can show up on the battlefield in Li City within two hours and the Zhao army. !
Without a city wall to rely on, Ying Chengyu's move was not to rush for help at all.
But to die!
Ying Chengjian asked solemnly: "Where is the fool!"
The fool, with thick arms and powerful arms, rode his horse forward and said in a deep voice: "I am here!"
Ying Chengxiu asked again: "Can you protect this general, the great banner, in good condition?"
The fool hugged the big banner tightly in his arms and said decisively: "If you are here, the banner will be there, and if you are not, the banner will be there!"
Ying Chengyu looked at Su Jiao and other generals, and said in a calm voice: "This is enough."
It is indeed difficult for the more than 15,000 tired knights to defeat the 80,000 Zhao army after running thousands of miles.
But with this big bamboo pole, that’s enough!
Su Jiao's heart was full of passion and he suddenly handed over his hands: "General, please be the vanguard!"
Qiang Huai, Meng Nan and other captains also raised their hands and shouted: "General, please be the vanguard!"
Although Meng Tian has followed Ying Chengyu on several expeditions, Meng Tian will always be placed in the partial division. Or guarding the flank battlefield, so Meng Tian could not understand the fanaticism of Su Jiao and others.
But seeing everyone like this, Meng Tian stopped trying to persuade them, and just thought about how to make the infantry go faster.
Ying Chengxiao laughed loudly: "Now that the general's banner has been released, how can I give up the vanguard position to you?" "Order!"
"All the war horses in the army were recruited and handed over to the knights in the army, so that the knights in the army could have three horses per person."
"Captain Mengtian, Commandant Meng Nan and other captains commanded the infantry and continued to advance."
"Captains Su Jiao, Commander Qiang Huai, Commander Xifeng, and Commander Ren Xiao led their knights to follow behind me."
"Rush to the aid of Licheng!"
Su Jiao and other generals handed over their hands without hesitation:
"Wei!"
The horseshoe wheels carry the knights running eastward along the narrow road!
Finally, the city they had longed for appeared in front of them.
Looking at the west gate of Licheng that was still closed, and listening to the shouts of killing that erupted from Licheng, Ying Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Licheng is still holding on!"
"Ge Ping lives up to his command!"
"Generals..."
Ying Chengjing was just about to order the entire army to dismount and take a break so that they could enter the battle in a better condition.
But before Ying Chengxuan’s order was uttered, a gap opened in the west gate of Licheng.
Ying Chengyu's heart suddenly lifted.
“It’s your mother’s fault!” Seeing that the crack in the door was getting wider and wider, Ying Chengyu shouted: “The knights prepared their horses and handed them over to the cavalry, and then all of them were assigned to the two divisions of Captain Meng Nan and Captain Ren Xiao. ”
"Order Captain Ren Xiao to select two thousand elite soldiers with strong physical strength, and form a group of a hundred people to climb up the cliffs on both sides of Li City with golden drum flags. When they reach the left and right sides of the Zhao army, the golden drums will sound in unison!"
"Order Captain Meng Nan to lead the remaining infantry to follow our troops as support!"
"All the cavalry should prepare their horses, string their bows, and return to my command!"
Meeting The knights who rode horses but did not know how to fight on horses gave all their spare horses in good condition to the cavalry.
The cavalrymen rode on their own spare horses, and held the spare horses sent by the knights beside them, and followed Ying Chengyu.
After all the cavalrymen had changed their horses, Ying Chengyu tightened his grip on his halberd and shouted angrily:
"Everyone, listen to your orders."
"Follow me."
"Charge!!!"
Hitting the horse's belly with his legs, Ying Chengyu took the lead and took the lead in the charge!
The stupid man's arms tensed up with muscles, he raised Ying Chengyu's big banner high, and followed closely behind Ying Chengyu.
Although the more than two thousand cavalry were exhausted and sleepy, they knew that they were about to charge against 80,000 enemy troops.
But when they saw the pure white cloak flying in the front and the towering banner galloping forward, new power emerged in the hearts of all the cavalry, urging them to roar in unison: < br>
“Wind!”
“Wind!”
"Strong wind!"
The setting sun shone on Ying Chenglong's armor, making Ying Chenglong's already golden armor look even more dazzling.
Looking at this god-like figure charging from a distance, Li Piao froze on the spot with his muscles tense and murmured: "Jun Chang'an?"
"This person is really Qin Chang'an Jun" ? ”
“How could Lord Qin Changan really be ambushing me in this city!”
Li Piao, who had been killing the Qin army just now, was now shrouded in fear.
This is both the fear of Sima Shang’s misjudgment.
The fear of facing Ying Chengyu directly!
After taking a deep breath, Li Piao finally came to his senses and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order!"
"Don't panic!"
"Form a phalanx! Set up a forest of spears!"
"Hold the city gate!"
"The enemy troops are all knights. As long as we hold the city gate, our army will win!"
>Li Piao made the most correct decision.
Facing a powerful enemy, confusion and running will only lead to death.
Only by facing up to the difficulties can we gain survival - at least we can gain the survival of the robes!
Unfortunately, the right decision may not bring you the desired results.
Ying Chengyu leaped into Licheng on horseback, using the speed of his horse to move his halberd forward, and the forest of spears was wiped out by Ying Chengyu!
The war horse squeezed into the forest of guns along the gap opened by Ying Chengyu like a swimming fish, and the euphorbia in Ying Chengyu's hand had already stabbed out.
“Kill!!!”
Li Piao roared hoarsely, and pointed the spear in his hand at Ying Chengyu.
He originally thought that he would be hit by Ying Cheng's chop as heavy as a mountain, but he never thought about it.
Ying Chengyu didn’t even look at the Zhao army warrior. He lightly but firmly cut off the head of a Zhao soldier with his halberd!
The blood from the aorta spurted out, staining Ying Chengyu's pure white cloak with blood red.
Ying Chengyu didn't stop at all, and his halberd was already thrust out towards the side of the neck of another Zhao Jun commander!
Li Piao was overjoyed and poured all his strength into his hands, dreaming of the rewards he would get if he transformed his sword into a dragon.
It's a pity...
"Dang~"
A spear stabbed upwards. Su Jiao just swung the gun in his hand, and then swung Li Piao's spear to the ground. Fly upward.
Before Li Piao could adjust his posture, Ying Cheng’s horse collided with Li Piao’s body!
"Bang!"
Li Piao was knocked upside down and flew out until he knocked down three Sergeant Zhao soldiers before finally falling to the ground.
Enduring the severe pain all over his body, Li Piao looked back at the figure that had completely torn apart Li Piao's formation like a sharp knife, and laughed at himself and sighed:
"This is Qin Mr. Changan!”
