Chapter 890: It is natural for the battle situation to turn around, and you will not survive if you do it yourself! An army of millions wields a golden hammer!
All the generals looked at each other, and Ma Fuxun was even more surprised and said: "Linle is an important place in Dukang!"
"How can three to five thousand people guard Dukang? Land? ”
“Is Mr. Qin Yang going to give up the land of Dukang?”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Mu’s voice: “Why not?” br>
"The land of Dukang is a top priority for the two countries of Yan and Qi, but it is of little importance to the two countries of Dai and Qin."
"If I were to be the head coach of Qin Linle, I would not With only 80,000 soldiers and horses to resist millions of enemy troops in the undefendable Dukang land, they will choose to completely abandon the Dukang land, gather all the troops to retreat to the front line of the Yishui Great Wall, and use the strength of the Yishui Great Wall to resist the enemy Army, buy time for reinforcements!”
“Although the coach Qin Linle is not the general, he is Qin Yang Wengzi. This general is mature and prudent and good at perseverance. It is not surprising to make such an arrangement.”
The land of Dukang is indeed important, but for the Qin State, even if the land of Dukang fell, there would still be the Great Wall of Yishui as a defense line against enemies coming from the northeast.
Compared with Dukang Land, the Yishui Great Wall is easier to defend and harder to attack.
If Yang Duanhe is given 300,000 soldiers and horses, Li Mu believes that Yang Duanhe will guard the Dukang Land and the Yishui Great Wall at the same time.
But now, Yang Duanhe is fighting against more than a million enemy troops with only 80,000 soldiers and horses!
Trying to defend Dukang Land and the Yishui Great Wall at the same time is actually a recipe for death. Gathering all the troops to defend the Yishui Great Wall is Yang Duanhe's only choice!
After Li Hong was stunned, he suddenly said: "So the commander originally ordered the Yan army to attack Linle, not because he wanted the Yan army to bear greater losses and a more difficult task."
"It's because Qin Linle's troops will inevitably rush south to aid Yicheng. Even if the Qin army is elite, it will still be prone to chaos if it is attacked and besieged during the march. This can make up for the weakness of the Yan army, and the Yan army can actually A wider and better force to encircle and annihilate the Qin army!”
"And the more elite Dadai soldiers and horses are attacking the more critical Yishui Great Wall in order to quickly defeat the enemy!"
Li Mu nodded lightly and said: "Of course."
"Even if the Yan army failed to intercept Qin Linle's troops and horses, because the Yan army has a larger force and the Yan State values the Dukang land more, the Yan army can still be faster than my army when the Dukang land is empty. Take all the Dukang territory and open up a smooth road to join forces with the Qi army!"
Li Mu is indeed a general of Dai, but his heart is not that narrow, and neither is Dai Wang Jia's heart.
Li Mu did not consider the nationality of the Dai and Yan armies at all, nor did he treat the two armies differently. He just gave the two armies soldiers and horses more suitable for their strategic goals.
Li Hong couldn't help but sneered: "The commander acted fairly and lived up to the officers and soldiers of the Dai and Yan armies."
"However, the King of Yan conspired to guess the commander's order, then disobeyed the commander's order, and then insisted on entertaining our army. , making it impossible for our army to reach the battlefield and intercept Qin Linle's troops before they moved south."
"So that the Yan army had to fight Qin Linle's camp alone"
"It's true! , You will not live for your own fault!”
The marching speed of Li Mu’s troops is indeed slower than usual, but they cannot go too far.
If King Xi of Yan had not forced Li Mu and other Dai generals to have a banquet, Li Mu's troops would have blocked Qin Linle's troops and horses on their way to Yicheng.
However, King Yan liked to treat the battlefield as a court and insisted on inviting Li Mu to banquets twice, so that Li Mu's troops "regrettably" missed the opportunity to fight.
If this matter spreads, no one in the world can blame Li Mu for it!
The corner of Li Mu's mouth slightly raised: "I have already made it clear to King Yan that military speed is the most important thing."
"The biggest advantage of our army in this battle is time. This general principle He has already told King Yan clearly.”
"On the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly."
"It is common for Qin Yang Wengzi, who was guarding Linle a few days ago, to suddenly go south to the Great Wall of Yishui."
"The King of Yan prides himself on knowing military skills. It seems that King Yan must have his own reasons."
Li Hong, Sun Yi and other generals all laughed.
What reason can King Yan have?
I'm afraid the only truth left is to sacrifice oneself for others!
Only Ma Fuxun was still worried: "Although the Yan army has 350,000 troops, it should not be defeated quickly by Qin Yang Wengzi."
"However, the Yan army is weak. , General Yan is incompetent, and he may not be able to complete the commander's order and attack the Great Wall of Yishui."
"If this is the case, how can our army join forces with the Qi army?"
A flash of light flashed in Li Mu's eyes. Helpless: "It is the best policy to join forces at the Great Wall of Yishui, but the place to join forces with Qi is not at the Great Wall of Yishui."
"Now Qin Yang Wengzi has abandoned the Linle camp. It can be seen that the Qin army has basically abandoned the Dukang area. Therefore, the defense on the east side of the Dukang area will also be quite sparse. It should be a smooth road for the combined troops."
The strategic shift of Yang Duanhe's troops allowed Li Mu to directly penetrate the Dukang territory and join forces with the Qi army.
If given the choice, Li Mu really doesn’t want to choose this time-consuming and laborious route.
But Li Mu did not dare to expect Yan King Xi to lead the Yan army to penetrate the Yishui Great Wall!
While sighing in his heart, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order!"
"Order Captain Sun Yi to lead his troops to besiege Linle. The rest of the troops will follow the general and move to the southeast, aiming for Wen'an City!"
"Send the order to the Qi army!"
"The army Turn to the north and join forces with our army in Wen'an City! "
——
On October 17, the 16th year of King Qin's reign.
Outside the north gate of Yicheng.
"Charge! Our army is five times stronger than the enemy, we will surely capture this city!"
"Be the first to attack the city! The one who retreats will die!"
" To repay the general's kindness, kill him!" One after another, the first warriors rushed towards Yicheng numbly, and were sent to the underworld with boiling oil, hammers, crossbows and other defensive weapons.
On the military chariot, King Yan Xi clenched the railings with both hands and stared at the city in front of him. His voice was hoarse and fierce: "Daiwu Anjun, how dare you deceive you!"
Up to now, How could King Yan not know that he had made the wrong choice?
But it was he who proposed the change of strategic goals. The time limit for conquering the Great Wall of Yishui within two decades was also agreed by Yan Wangxi himself. Yan Wangxi even took the initiative to say that he would conquer it within half a month. Yishui Great Wall.
Even if Wang Xi wanted to scold Li Mu, he didn’t know what to scold!
He could only swallow the loss of being mute, and said bitterly: "Send the order!"
"Qi Bao's troops stormed the Yixi city gate, Yan Badger's troops stormed the Yidong city gate, and Gongsun Gao led the royal guards to storm the Yibei city gate."
"Within today, Yi City must be captured at all costs! "
Qibao quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty! According to the current situation of the war, we, Dayan, really shouldn't attack Yicheng!"
"Yicheng is close to Yishui Great Wall. ..."
However, before Qibao could finish his words, King Yan Xi said angrily: "I have already told the whole army to capture the Yishui Great Wall within twenty days."
"Tomorrow is the last day of the two-ten-day period!"
"However, our army has not even conquered Yicheng today!"
"You are riding on the throne to make me break my trust. Allies, you have broken your trust with your soldiers!”
Qi Bao was speechless for a moment.
What's wrong with this?
If I can exchange your reputation for victory in this battle, or exchange for the lives of thousands of soldiers, it will be a very cost-effective deal. Anyway, Your Majesty, you have no credibility at all. It is equivalent to a business without capital. !
But Qibao could only remonstrate tactfully: "The king did not issue a military order, but only agreed with Lord Dai Wu'an."
"Jun Dai Wu'an failed to follow Lord Dai Wu'an's instructions. If we block Qin Linle's defenders like that, why should we, the Yan State, fulfill our promise to conquer Yicheng within two days?"
"I hope your Majesty will take the battle seriously!"
The King of Yan! Xi waved his hand and said: "Qin Yang Wengzi is guarding Yiguan more than ten miles to the south. This Yicheng guard is just a happy news. I know that this general is not very capable. How can this general stop our army?" Yan Ruishi!”
If the person guarding Yicheng was Yang Duanhe, King Yan Xi would never say anything about the two-decade agreement, but would greatly appreciate Qi Pao's words.
But the person guarding Yicheng was not Yang Duanhe, but Le Xun, the former captain of the Yan Kingdom who had followed General Qu to attack Qin and later returned to Qin after General Qu died in battle!
In Yan Wangxi's perception, Lexun's ability is mediocre, and it can become a stepping stone for Yan Wangxi to rebuild his trustworthy image.
The King of Yan said with joy and determination: "I have made up my mind. I love you and there is no need to persuade me."
"Every ministry listens to the order! Before sunset today, Yicheng must be conquered!"
Following Yan Wangxi's order, the Yan army surrounded Yicheng from three directions.
But just as the three Yan armies began to attack Yicheng, the gate of Yiguan, more than ten miles south of Yicheng, suddenly opened.
The cross chariot led a thousand infantry, a hundred cavalry, and a thousand knights to charge out along the Yiguan gate and plunged into the rear of the Qibao headquarters!
The west gate of Yicheng opened at the same time. The two tanks were the first to charge through a smooth road of flesh and blood, leading the three thousand elite soldiers behind them and the Yiguan soldiers and horses to form a front and rear pincer attack on Qi Bao's troops!
The defenders of Yicheng's rotation also climbed onto the west city wall without the Yan army noticing, and rained down arrows one after another on the defenders outside the city!
"The Qin Army attacks the rear of our army! Return quickly... stabilize the formation! The Qin Army attacks the front of our army!"
"The Qin Army's chariots are attacking! The spearmen are on top! Anyone who dares to retreat will die. !"
"No! Please surrender!"
"Those who dare to surrender will be killed!" >"We are no match for the Qin army, and the king has been defeated repeatedly. Although our army is far stronger than the Qin army, it is impossible to win. Rather than being defeated and killed, it is better to flee to Qin and fight for a way out!"
< br>
"The army is in chaos now. It's time to escape. Run!"
The morale of the Yan army was not high, and the siege battle that lasted for more than half a month with heavy losses but no achievements made it even worse. Most of the Yan army was dejected and panicked.
The front and rear pincer attacks formed by Yang Duanhe and Le Xun completely destroyed the morale of Qibao's troops. A large number of Yan troops fled in panic. The military judges had to wave their swords repeatedly and cut off one after another. The head of a deserter was used to suppress the army.
Qi Bao held the reins tightly with both hands and murmured in a hurry: "We can't fight like this! We can't fight like this anymore!"
Qi Bao roared: " Send the order! The entire army retreats!”
"I would like to report to your Majesty that our troops have suffered heavy losses and the Qin army is attacking fiercely. Please ask your Majesty to withdraw the troops with gold!"
As soon as Qi Bao finished speaking, a burst of music sounded from the north.
But what surprised Qibao was that the music that echoed through the battlefield was not the sound of trumpets, but the sound of drums!
Qibao suddenly turned around and looked back, and saw Yan Wangxi also turning his head to look northeast.
I saw flags jumping out of the horizon one after another, and endless black spots on the left and right, one after another, spreading towards the battlefield!
As the black tide got closer and closer, Qi Pao could clearly see that it was a crowd of famous soldiers!
Qibao looked overjoyed. He changed his panic and shouted excitedly: "Soldiers! Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Kill the enemy! Break the formation!"
A million-strong army waved their golden hammers and roared in disbelief, unable to break open this small Yicheng!
