Chapter 770 The best hero in the world? They're just rats! There is only one goal in this battle!
May 20th, the 14th year of King Qin’s reign.
Four days have passed since Yan Dan issued the order to join forces.
However, only six troops successfully joined forces with Yan Dan, and the remaining ministries could only send back one famous messenger!
"Report! Our troops are surrounded and attacked by Qin Duwei Su Jiao and Qin Duwei Li Xin. The enemy's strength is nearly 40,000. Our troops request support!"
"Report! Our troops are attacked by Qin Duwei Ren Xiao, Qin Duwei Qiang Huai, and Qin Duwei Li Xin. The enemy's strength is more than 40,000. Our troops request support!"
"Report! Our troops are attacked. Qin Duwei Xifeng, Qin Duwei Li Xin..."
Yan Dan suddenly interrupted the messenger and asked in a deep voice: "Who did you say your department was surrounded by just now?"
The messenger hurriedly replied: "Qin Captain Xifeng, Qin Captain Li Xin!"
Yan Dan looked at the other messengers: "You just said it, you are also Qin Captain Li Xin!" Letter to attack? ”
The three messengers looked at each other, and then anxiously raised their hands and said: "That's true!"
"Li Xin, the captain of the Qin Dynasty, may have divided his troops and made fake flags to confuse our army."
>"Whether it is Qin Captain Li Xin's troops besieging our army or not, our army is actually facing more than 40,000 Qin troops. Please ask the prince for reinforcements!"
All the Yan generals had strong emotions in their eyes. Deeply shocked.
Yan Badger even said in a difficult voice: "If the Qin army lets the other Qin armies set up the general flag of Qin Captain Li Xin, then how many Qin armies are there in the north of our army now?!"
"If the Qin army did not let other Qin armies raise the flag of Qin Captain Li Xin, then where is Qin Captain Li Xin?!"
If the fact is the former, then this battle of the Yan Army is the biggest The advantage has been invalidated!
If the fact is the latter, it means that the movements of Li Xin's troops are completely beyond the control of Yan Dan. The battlefield in the northern part of Neihuang will be like a fog of war for the Yan army. They will have to fight on their own!
No matter which situation occurs, it will be a great disadvantage for Yan Jun!
Yan Dan sighed with emotion: "I fell into the trap!"
"As Vice General Yan said, Lord Qin Chang'an doesn't care about the ownership of the cities in Zhao State at all, but just wants to induce our army to divide our troops." According to your calculations, Lord Qin Chang'an had just summoned Qin Captain Li Xin's troops early and ordered him to lead troops to intercept and kill our troops and block the opportunity for our troops to return!"
" You deserve to be Lord Qin Changan! You deserve to be Gu’s best friend!”
Yan Dan understands!
He finally understood!
Unfortunately, he understood it too late.
The battlefield in the north of Neihuang is completely beyond Yan Dan's control, and it is difficult for all the troops and horses to join forces with Yan Dan in a short period of time. Yan Dan ignores the baggage and the army, and decides the outcome in one battle. Strategy is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve!
At this moment, more than ten scouts covered in blood rushed back.
Without even having time to dismount early, the scout commander rode directly five feet in front of Yan Dan, shouting anxiously: "Report!"
"Our troops have detected that the Qin army is in the camp. Crossing the Yellow River from the east port!”
Yan Dan suddenly looked at the scout commander and asked anxiously: "Have you ever ascertained the number of Qin troops crossing the river?"
The scout commander shook his head bitterly: "He is humble and incompetent!"
" The subordinates of Beizhong only saw the flags of the Qin army on the other side of the Yellow River, but were unable to cross the river to conduct a detailed investigation. "
"The subordinates of the Beizhong wanted to hide on the east bank of the Yellow River and observe secretly, but they were discovered by Qin army scouts. After a bloody battle. I just escaped and couldn't find any more information!"
Looking at the scout commander whose left arm was cut off by the root, Yan Dan could not say any words of accusation.
Feeling anxious under pressure, Yan Dan patted the war horse on the crotch of the scout commander and said warmly: "Let's go find a doctor to treat the injury first."
"After this battle, you all will come to Gu Mansion."< br>
"Gu will not let the soldiers who fight to the death bleed and shed tears!"
More than a dozen scouts gratefully handed over their hands: "Thank you, Prince!"
Given After making a promise, Yan Dan looked back at the generals: "Qin Chang'an is crossing the river at this moment. He wants to take advantage of the fact that our troops have not returned yet and attack our army by force!"
"Do you have any good advice?"
Gongsun Gao's voice was particularly solemn: "The soldiers and horses of our army have not returned yet, but according to the messages sent back by the soldiers and horses, we can know that the soldiers and horses of the Qin Changan Lord He has not returned yet."
"Our army now has 150,000 troops. On the other hand, Lord Qin Chang'an may have only 80,000 troops."
"The advantage still lies with our army!"
“The only weakness of our army is that the food and grass can only last our army another half month.”
"The general thought that our army should take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of Qin Changanjun's troops to cross the river, and attack halfway across the river!"
Yan Badger shook his head decisively: "No!"
"Although Qin Chang'an Jun only has 80,000 troops under his command, don't forget that there are more than 40,000 Qin troops under Mengwu's command in Neihuang City!"
"Once the two Qin armies join forces, the enemy will be ours. The difference in military strength is negligible."
"The king has sent an additional 200,000 troops south to support our army, but Qin State can hardly reinforce Qin Chang'an."
"The general believes that we should continue to dig deep into our army's fortifications, resist the Qin army on the spot, and wait for the return of our army's reinforcements!"
A group of Yan army captains argued endlessly about passive resistance and active attack.
Yan Dan also frowned and thought carefully while listening to the generals' advice. After a long while, Yan Dan finally made up his mind: "Qin Chang'an Jun ordered Qin Duwei Li Xin to wander in the north of our army to intercept the troops and horses of our army."
"However, whether it is Qin Both Chang'an Jun's troops and Qin Duwei Li Xin's troops are inferior to our army."
"Send the solitary order!"
"Abandon the siege of Neihuang City."
"The whole army breaks out of camp and crosses the river to go north!"
"Send the order to all ministries. If each ministry The soldiers and horses are still facing the Qin army's strong attack, but they are holding on to the spot, waiting for Gu to lead the army to rescue."
"Daigu joins forces with various ministries, and even joins forces with the reinforcements from the DPRK, and then chooses one to surrender to the city. Let’s fight to the death with Lord Qin Changan!”
Yan Dan proposed a path that no Yan general had ever proposed.
Does this strategy make sense?
Of course it makes sense.
The soldiers and horses of various ministries were blocked by the Qin army and could not return, so I led the army to meet the soldiers and horses of various ministries to complete the integration of troops. It seemed that if the mountain did not come, I would go to the mountain.
After joining forces with various troops, Yan Dan's troops will once again be far superior to Ying Cheng's troops, and Yan Dan will be able to crush Ying Cheng's troops with superior force!
Gongsun Gao said worriedly: "But our army's food and grass are only enough for our army to last for half a month!"
Yan Dan did not hesitate and said: "When passing by the surrendered city, it is convenient to go to the city to seek food and grass supplies. "Yes."
Gongsun Gao wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Badger sighed in his heart.
He knew that when Yan Dan revealed his strategy, he would not give others a chance to question it.
All Yan Badger and other generals can do is to shout: "Wei!"
Under Yan Dan's order, the Yan army's central army did not wait until sunrise tomorrow before setting off. Instead, they immediately broke camp and turned northeast.
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Dan's troops boarded a warship 'borrowed' from Zhao Jun, broke through the waves and headed north, galloping towards Guanshi City (today's Guan County) on the north bank of the Yellow River!
——
May 21, the 14th year of King Qin’s reign.
In the dense forest in the southwest of Guan County, birds hovered in the sky and dared not fall down for a long time.
On the south side of the dense forest, a hundred knights stood on the bank of the Yellow River, looking far into the distance.
When he saw a Zhao warship flying the flag of Yan, Ying Chengyu showed a mocking smile: "Prince Dan of Yan, he has indeed gone north!"
Meng Tian couldn't believe it. He looked at Ying Chengxuan and asked: "Prince Dan of Yan actually never stationed himself at the camp in the northwest of Neihuang City to wait for the troops to return, nor did he take the initiative to attack our army."
"But like Chang'an. Did you cross the river and go north as expected? "
Like the generals of the Yan army, the Qin army generals are also thinking about the next strategy that the Yan army can formulate in order to predict the enemy first.
However, no Qin general ever considered that Yan Dan would abandon the camp that had been in operation for several months and march north after Ying Chengyu sent the suspicious soldiers across the river!
The sarcasm in Ying Chengyu's words became more and more obvious: "Prince Dan of Yan seems to be a heroic hero."
"But in fact, although this person is courageous, he is just a coward. Although he has a lot of courage, he only has a small amount of courage. Although he is known as the best hero in the world, he is no more than a rat."
"Although I am not a general, I will eventually come with the power to destroy Zhao."< br>
“How can someone who can send assassins to assassinate my king dare to take the initiative to fight head-on with me when the difference in strength is not big!”
In Ying Chengyu's view, although Yan Dan was regarded as a heroic hero by knights all over the world, this was only because Yan Dan was happy and loyal enough to give money to officials and women.
When it comes to courage and character, Yan Dan is far from a hero, let alone a wise master!
Whether it is the Great Qin in the original history or the Great Qin today, there is already an extremely huge gap in the national power of Qin and Yan.
And Yan Dan’s failed assassination was tantamount to pushing the Qin and Yan countries to the point of endless struggle. There is no possibility of peace talks between the two countries. As long as Ying Zheng does not want to face assassins every day when he opens his eyes. , we must destroy the Yan Kingdom and make the Yan Kingdom pay the due price!
What if Yan Dan’s assassination was successful? This is undoubtedly great news for the other remaining vassal states, but whether anyone such as Ying Chengyu, Fusu or even Hu Hai succeeds to the throne, the successor must attack the Yan State regardless of whether they are willing or not. The Yan State remains Must die!
A real hero will never assassinate Ying Zheng and anger the Qin State in this situation. Instead, like King Yan Zhao, he will accumulate national strength internally, expand foreign wars, accumulate young men, search for good generals, and finally end with a magnificent victory. The irresistible victory avenges the past and eliminates external troubles!
So in Ying Chengyu's view, Yan Dan, who tried to reverse the country's decline as a retainer and passed the responsibility for the country's survival to a small assassin, did have some courage, but definitely not much.
When the Qin army came with the power to destroy Zhao, Yan Dan's first reaction would definitely not be to fight head-on!
Facts have proved that Ying Chengyu’s judgment was correct.
Regarding Ying Chengyu's evaluation, Meng Tian and other generals nodded in unison: "That's right! Prince Yan is nothing more than a rat!"
Ying Chengyu looked deeply at the galloping warship, and said in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order!"
"I ordered Captain Cen Bian to immediately lead his navy to the battlefield, and wait until the Yellow River There is smoke rising from the north bank, intercept and kill the Yan army's navy immediately!"
"Order all troops to retreat another two miles, so as not to be noticed by enemy scouts."
"Order General Meng Wu. He personally led the main force to rush here and cooperate with our army to block the Yan army's retreat."
"Send an order to all the commanders."
"There is only one goal in this battle, and that is..."
"The head of Yan Dan!"
