I’m The King

Changping, Yangfeng, and Zilai are the two strategic points of the confrontation between Qin and Zhao. When Qin is strong, they will be taken away by Qin, and when Zhao is strong, the two places will fall into the hands of Zhao Guo. Although the place is not large, It has always been a battleground between the two countries, but since the Handan Change, Xi Zhao became a vassal of the Qin people, the importance of these two places has plummeted, and both sides believe that there is no need to station troops in this place. A strategic point was deserted. Many people lived here before, but after Bai Qi killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army in Changping, there was no more smoke here, according to the people who finally fled here. Speaking of, every night, you can always hear the wailing of countless people, which makes people change their voices, and when they are frightened, how can they dare to stay here?

An extremely lively place that was originally so decayed.

The famous Changping that Gao Yuan first saw was a desolate scene of ruined walls. Pushing open the half-hidden city gate, walking into the city, the thick snow almost buried the city, the snow on the street, after a winter accumulation, almost covered half of the doors on both sides of the street, pushing it with ease. A window was opened and there was a click, and the window fell completely at hand, which shocked Gao Yuan.

All the furniture in the house was fully furnished, except that thick dust fell on it, and a stale smell came from the open window. He put his hand on the edge of the window and jumped into the house under the support. When it fell to the ground There was a puff of smoke from his feet.

"It used to be a barracks here?" Gao Yuan asked, taking a look at his bosom in the house.

"Yes, Great King, Changping City has always been a fortress city. Those who are stationed in the city are the families of the army and some officers and soldiers, and then there are administrative officials." Zhao Xilie on one side responded.

"Desolate and this is awesome!" Gao Yuan shook his head, walked to the corner, picked up a rusty iron spear head from the dust on the ground, and threw it on the table. There was a sound.

"Changping here is an ominous place for Da Zhao. Everyone does not want to come here." Zhao Xilie whispered, "After we arrived in Jinyang, due to various reasons, we didn't even come to worship. Maybe, slowly, it will become like this here."

"I understand!" Gao Yuan sighed, "Fortunately, this place is deserted, but at this time, it will be our advantage. Let's start to clean up here, repair the city wall, and set up defensive positions. Next, this will be our core. Position and center point."

He Lanyan, behind Gao Yuan, took out a picture from her arms and handed it to Zhao Xilie, "General Zhao, this is the defensive setup diagram of the Changping Central Position. All the position setup and parameters are clearly marked on it."

Zhao Xilie took the defensive map with both hands, opened it only for a few glances, his face changed slightly.

"General Zhao. Can all the settings be completed in a few days?" Gao Yuan walked a few steps in the room with his hands on his back. Before reaching another window, he stretched out his hand and pushed it aside. Some snow came in unexpectedly outside. The terrain is low here. The snow outside has surpassed the lowest edge of Chuanhu.

Zhao Xilie swallowed, "Ten days."

"We don't have ten days!" Gao Yuan smiled. "Because the outer defense also needs time, five days. I can give you five days at most. I want to see a brand new Changping."

"Yes!" Zhao Xilie bowed awe-inspiringly, "The minister will start acting immediately."

The deserted Changping ushered in a vigorous and vigorous project. Tens of thousands of soldiers began to rebuild Changping. They had to deploy a solid defense project within five days. With the current quality and combat effectiveness of the Zhao army in the west, There is not much hope for a field battle with the Qin army, but defending from the city is not without chance. The stronger the defense line is repaired, the more protection for the soldiers.

When Li Mingjun arrived in Changping, Changping had undergone earth-shaking changes, and a brand new Changping appeared in front of Li Mingjun. The criss-crossing trenches, the parapet wall spread over the position centered on Changping City, and the broken city wall was restored again. The snow cleared from the city was piled outside the city wall and poured water to form a new one. Ice wall.

Li Mingjun almost couldn't believe his eyes. He knew what was going on in Changping. Now, where there is still a little bit of shadow.

"Li Mingjun is here?" Gao Yuan stood up in amazement, "How did he arrive so fast, please ask him in."

A tired Li Mingjun stepped into the Changping General's mansion, which was already clear and clean. His legs were still weak. For the last tens of miles, he gave up his horse to the soldiers who could not run, and he just ran all the way. of.

"My lord, the final general is ashamed. I only brought less than 10,000 people, and the remaining few thousand people were left behind on the road." Li Mingjun lowered his head.

Gao Yuan nodded. He knows what Li Mingjun’s army looks like in Shanggu. Their condition is far worse than that of Zhao Xilie’s army in Jinyang. They are almost as beautiful as the county army when he was in Fufeng. Now, Li Mingjun’s ability to maintain such a team without falling apart is evident, and it is even more remarkable to be able to bring such a team to Jinyang in less than ten days. In terms of managing the army, I'm afraid he is better than Zhao Xilie.

"Don't say you have brought 10,000 people, even if you only brought 5,000 people, it is a great achievement." Gao Yuan walked up to Li Mingjun, gave him a big hug, and beat his hands hard. He punched his back, "Now is when we need manpower, you are here, we have greatly eased the predicament above the military strength, Xi Lie, Ming Jun's army must be exhausted, make a good arrangement, let They have a good meal, and then take a good rest."

"Yes, Lord." Zhao Xilie bowed.

"Ming Jun came in time. Tomorrow we are holding a sacrificial ceremony. Your troops will have a good rest today, and all members will participate tomorrow." Gao Yuandao.

"Are you paying homage to Zhao Guoerlang, who died here unjustly?" Li Mingjun's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Yes, they died here. Today we are here. More importantly, in this battle, you are the protagonist and the main force." A high and low voice sounded in Li Mingjun's ears.

"Thank you, King." Li Mingjun bowed deeply. He didn't expect Gao Yuan to avoid that they were once Zhao people, and he didn't care whether this memorial would arouse the soldiers' nostalgia for their homeland, but he knew that this time. The sacrificial offerings will definitely arouse the soldiers' hatred of the Qin people, and their morale will be greatly improved.

At night, Changping was covered by a thin layer of mist. The wind was very small, blowing the mist to and fro, making the bright lights above the tower appear hazy. Zhao Xilie and Li Mingjun sat side by side. On the watchtower above the newly restored city wall, sniffing the icy breath in the air, the two of them were silent, as if not far from them, that looked like a very ordinary small mountain bag. There are tens of thousands of Zhao Jun soldiers sleeping under the small mountain bag. There was no such small mountain bag there.

The two of them were silent, but they seemed to hear a cry of grief and a call in their hearts, which made them involuntarily remember the tragic years.

"We have to win this battle. For nothing else, just for the 80,000 robes who sleep here." After a long time, Zhao Xilie burst out these words from his teeth, "Not for the big man, not for the sake of Our future is only for these 80,000 colleagues."

Li Mingjun clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall beside him: "You said it was right. This battle has nothing to do with the big guy or the future. Just for these fellow robes, they are looking at us and watching. We start this battle of revenge."

"Do you know why the king named this battle the Changping Meat Grinder Project?" Zhao Xilie asked.

"Of course I know that this battle is not a short and quick battle, but a protracted war. We are here to let the people of Qin shed their blood." Li Mingjun nodded and said, "Xie Lie, you have fifty thousand soldiers. This time I brought ten thousand to sixty thousand troops. Compared with the Qin Army, although the field is insufficient, the defense does not necessarily fall short. There are more than 10,000 Han cavalry to help. As long as we can persist in the first stage, Victory is ours, you don’t know. This time I came from Shanggu and saw the powerful mobilization ability of the big man. From the time the king gave combat orders, within a short period of time, Han was ready for all wars. Prepare, when I traveled this way, what I saw along the way was the endless transportation team, countless grain, grass, ordnance, advancing toward Jinyang in an endless stream, and these were all taken care of by some merchants, Han The army of the country, regardless of other, strong mobilization ability, strict organization ability, is amazing. Seeing this, I am more determined in my heart that the victory of this war is none other than us~www.wuxiaspot.com ~My biggest wish is to catch Bai Qi." Zhao Xilie said, "It's a pity that he is not here."

"Zhu, when we enter Handan, you will do what you want." Li Mingjun said: "By the way, when entering the city, I saw that the defense system here is very different from our previous ones. This is the fighting system of a big man, right? , Can our soldiers and command adapt?"

"In the past few days, I am trying to adapt to this system. The principles are the same. The principles are always the same. There are still many supporting equipment in this defense system that have not arrived. They must be combined to play a greater role. Those caravans come early."

"Where are the two cavalry divisions?"

"They dispersed." Zhao Xilie said: "The Qin army has nearly 20,000 cavalry. The main opponents of the two cavalry divisions are them. We must guard against them threatening our logistics line."

"The most difficult thing is the previous month. After this stage, the Han army will come up." Li Mingjun said, "Come on, Xi Lie, we will definitely win."

"Of course!" (to be continued)
