Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Once the old pass falls, the 45 Zhao troops will be completely trapped in the vast battlefield on the north bank of the Dan River, with no way to go to heaven or go to earth!

Lian Po's face wrinkled slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Bai Qi's attack direction must be Guguan!

In fact, Lian Po was not alone in making this judgment.

In the secret letter from Handan, Zhao Dan, the current monarch of Zhao State, once reminded Lian Po not to attack easily, otherwise, Bai Qi might lure the main force of the Zhao army away from Daliang Mountain by fraudulent defeat.

Then the Qin army will surprise Xuan's city and seize the Xiaodongcang River Valley, thereby cutting off the passage of Guguan, and completely encircling the Zhao army on the Hanwang Mountain line.

The reason why Zhao Dan reminded him so was because of the historical battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo was defeated by Bai Qi in this way!

Of course, Lian Po didn't know the secrets behind Zhao Dan's letter. At this moment, he was only making a judgment based on years of experience and thinking of a famous general.

If you want to attack Guguan, the first thing you need to do is to break through Zhao Leibi's defense line, and then there are two ways to go, namely the Xiaodongcang River Valley and the Dadongcang River Valley.

These two river valleys happened to be distributed on the north and south sides of Daliang Mountain where Lian Po was at the moment.

On the north side is the Xiaodongcang River Valley. The Xiaodongcang River Valley is located between Xuanshi City, Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain, the three major strongholds of the Zhao Army. Among them, it belongs to the place with the strongest defense force in Zhao Jun's entire frontal defense line and the place where the largest number of reinforcements can be mobilized in a short time.

If you think about it with a normal person's thinking, it is obviously impossible for Bai Qi to choose this most difficult place as the main direction of attack.

In this case, there is only the last possibility.

Dadongcang River Valley on the south side of Daliang Mountain.

Although the Dadongcang River Valley is also close to Daliang Mountain and Xuanshi City, it is Zhao Jun's flank after all, and the defense force is obviously slightly weaker.

On the opposite side of Daliang Mountain, that is, on the Qin Army's position on the south bank of the Dan River, there is a mountain that is slightly shorter than Daliang Mountain, called Niu Mountain.

Since the Niu Mountain blocked the line of sight, the Qin army could quietly dispatch troops through the passage behind the Niu Mountain to break through the defense line of the Dadongcang River Valley in one fell swoop.

As long as it can break through the Dadongcang River Valley, then the Qin army can bypass the Guanling and take the old pass from the road along the Daliang Mountain. It can also cut off the back of the Zhao army and realize the grand strategy of encircling the Zhao army.

In fact, at the beginning, Lian Po didn't quite believe that Bai Qi had the courage to encircle 45 Zhao troops in one fell swoop.

But under Zhao Dan's harsh words, Lian Po had to make such psychological preparations and coping plans.

And judging from the current situation, it is really not impossible for Qin Jun to surround Zhao Jun.

If that time really came, if Lian Po and his 45 Zhao army wanted to break through, they would either try their best to regain the old pass, or risk breaking out westward from Danzhuling controlled by the Qin army.

But these two paths are close to death!

Of course, the situation facing Zhao Jun has not deteriorated to that point, and these are just Lian Po's thoughts in his mind.

As long as Zhao Jun guards the line of defense firmly, these extremely bad situations will not happen.

As long as the Qin army can't break through Zhao Lei's defense line, then all plans to encircle and eliminate the Zhao army are all futile clouds.

Lian Po took a deep breath and raised his head.

The night breeze was cool, and it brushed the old general's face, but at this moment, Lian Po's heart was full of fire.

Right under Lian Po's eyes, tens of thousands of soldiers from Qin and Zhao were fighting fiercely, shouting, the flames soaring into the sky, and the sound of killing filled the ears.

"Dadongcanghe? Bai Qi, I won't succeed!"

Chapter 98 Inside Thief (Sixth Watch for Subscription)

October 260, 10 BC, night.It's two quarters.

Changping Pass.

Although this battle is called the Battle of Changping, Changping Pass is not actually located in the center of the battlefield, but in the northwest of the battlefield. A line of defense, the "Bailishi Great Wall", guards the rear of Zhao's army.

It is precisely because of the extremely important position of Changping Pass, and because of the terrain that it directly faces the Danzhuling stronghold on the northernmost side of the Qin Leibi, so although this is only a small pass, General Zhao Guo Lian Po still stationed a total of [-] soldiers on the pass.

5000 people doesn't sound like much, but since Changping Pass is in front of a funnel-shaped canyon terrain that is gradually tightening, even if the Qin army came to attack aggressively, there are actually only 2000 people who can be placed in front of Changping Pass to attack .

Considering that the number of defenders needed by the defenders is often only a fraction of that of the attackers, 5000 troops is more than enough, and it can even be said that it is a bit too much.

Moreover, Changping Pass is only more than ten miles away from the Zhao Army Hanwangshan camp. Once a war breaks out, at most half an hour will be able to receive support from the first-line friendly forces on the Bailishi Great Wall and the main force of the Hanwangshan Zhao army at the same time.

So although the battle has lasted for three full days, and Changping Pass has experienced several attacks by the Qin army, the Qin army has found nothing except for leaving hundreds of corpses on the flat ground in front of the pass.

All this made the supreme commander of Changping Pass, Zhao Guoxiaowei Zhong Xingdun, both happy and worried.

Bank of China Dun is in his forties this year, with a weather-beaten face, a tall figure and a rough face, a typical Yanzhao boy.

Although it was late at night, Bank of China Shield did not fall asleep immediately, but came to inspect the pass as usual.

The thick torches were burning on the wall of Changping Pass. The condescending light of the fire illuminated the ground below the wall brightly. You could even see a few glares of dark color, which were left by the battles in the past few days. under the traces.

Thinking of this, Zhongxingdun couldn't help but sighed.

"Qin people, why don't you come!"

Although Changping Pass has experienced some attacks from the direction of Danzhuling in the past three days, they were all tentative and small-scale attacks. The number of Qin people who came to attack each time was only one or two thousand, which was completely irrelevant.

Bank of China Dun was very dissatisfied with Qin people's neglect of Changping Pass.

Without the people of Qin to send their heads to the door, how can the five thousand soldiers of Zhongxingdun and Changpingguan still do meritorious service!

But complaints are nothing more than complaints, Bank of China Shield still seriously inspected the Changping Pass wall back and forth, and confirmed that many defensive measures are effective, and the soldiers of the Zhao Army who are watching the night are also performing their duties. Only then did he walk down the wall with confidence, and walked towards his barracks.

A moment later, the Bank of China Shield, which had just removed its armor, was about to go to bed, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Opening the door, a commander of two or five hundred masters hurriedly appeared in front of Zhongxingdun: "Captain, something seems wrong!"

Bank of China Dun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Two or five hundred masters walked into the room, looked left and right, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "The two sentinels at Shangzhuang and Xiazhuang have not returned their orders for six hours."

A few miles away on the right side of Changping Pass, there is also a narrow valley mouth. Behind the valley mouth are two Zhuangzi, named Shangzhuang and Xiazhuang because one is upstream and the other is downstream.

After the war broke out, the people in these two villages had already fled, so Zhongxingdun stationed a [-]-man team in these two villages to avoid being attacked by the Qin army.

The upper and lower villages are facing Xiangong Mountain, several miles northwest of Danzhuling, the position of the Qin army. The terrain of Xiangong Mountain is extremely rugged, and it is full of extremely narrow mountain roads. Come on, a centurion stationed there as a warning will suffice.

And just in case, Bank of China Shield also stationed a team of 500 people in a place called Yaoshan after Shangxialiangzhuang, ready to support Shangxialiangzhuang at any time.

In the past six months, the Qin army once sent a small group of troops to try to attack the upper and lower villages, but was repelled by the Zhao army who discovered it in time. Since then, there has been no war here.

If it hadn't been mentioned by the two or five hundred masters, Bank of China Dun would have forgotten that there was such a place.

So Bank of China Dun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then frowned: "Hmph, the people of Qin are still undecided, can Yaoshan pay back?"
