Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

While the debate was still going on in Diqiu City, the Qin army had already entered the territory of Wei State. On top of a hill, Yang Ming unfolded the map in his hand, and familiar names appeared in his field of vision.

Following a line that ran through the entire map, Yang Ming found a familiar name on one side of the line: White Horse.

"What's the situation like here in Baima?" Yang Ming closed the map and asked a military clerk recruited from Hanoi County.

"Reporting to General Zuo, the full name of Baima is Baima Yi. It is named after Baima Jin, a ferry crossing the river. This place is the only ferry connecting the north and south of the river within a radius of 300 miles. Therefore, there are many business trips. Over time, Baima Town was formed. However, There are no more than three thousand people here, and no more than three hundred soldiers. They are mainly used to maintain local security." The clerk replied respectfully.

He understood how terrifying the authority of the young man from Xianyang in front of him was. He was less than a year old and could lead an army on an expedition with the temporary post of General Zuo. This kind of treatment was probably only available to the direct descendants of the royal families of various countries, but Yang Mingming is not from a royal family, which makes it even more unbelievable.

If he can win the favor of such a person, then his future will be bright. Even if he completes the jump in life class, it is not impossible. Moreover, even if this is not the case, considering that Yang Ming and the Lieutenant of Hanoi County not long ago He did not dare to neglect the possible relationship between Yang Duan, who was promoted to the governor of Hanoi County, and the possible kinship.

"Baima Jin, a name from a long time ago." Yang Ming muttered.

"Li Jue." Yang Ming suddenly called to Li Jue, the general beside him.

"The humble position is here." Li Jue stepped out and said.

Because of his previous military exploits at Wucheng City, he accompanied Yang Ming on the expedition to defend the country. Yang Ming directly promoted him to the rank of captain of thousands, in charge of thousands of cavalry.

"You lead our troops, and I will allocate you two thousand more infantry to go to Baimayi and control it as quickly as possible to isolate the north and south of the river to prevent Zhao from sending a large army to rescue Weiguo." Yang Mingdao.

"No." Li Jue responded.

"If you can keep it, keep it. If you can't, you must destroy the floating bridge on the river." Yang Ming reminded.

Although it is unlikely that Zhao will send troops, in the war, we must make complete plans to avoid being in a hurry. The war is not just about success or failure on the bamboo slips, but also about living lives.

Yang Ming is relying on the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to exchange for his own future, and he himself is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

"When people stay on the pontoon, the pontoon will die." Li Jue assured firmly.

"Don't be so nervous. After all, I have the advantage." Yang Ming said. Although this sentence does have a magical quality, like a mysterious curse, it will not come true every time.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of troops marched towards Diqiu City. Along the way, the Qin army attacked with light cavalry. Within two days, they captured all the traffic arteries up and down the Wei Kingdom, and the entire Wei Kingdom's transportation system fell to the Qin Army. in hand.

Although there are several county towns and more than 20 small towns in Weiguo, they have all become scattered isolated islands, located on the plains formed by the impact of large rivers. The Qin army on the main road was invisible.

In mid-August, the Qin army's vanguard appeared at the gate of Diqiu City.

All the big cities in the Central Plains have a common feature, probably because they are virtually undefendable, that is, the city is deep and the city walls are extremely strong, using artificial power to create dangerous mountains and rivers.

The same is true for Diqiu City. Although Wei State is small, it is not poor. As one of the most densely populated areas in the world, agriculture here is developed and industry and commerce are also extremely prosperous. Although due to the Wei State, Wei State has Most of the armaments above and below were ruined, but their equipment was still excellent. At least in terms of accuracy, it was not inferior to that of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Diqiu City is indeed well-deserved. It is not easy to capture such a city." Wang Jian, who led a troop of soldiers and horses to join 10,000 Dongjun troops and rushed to the gate of Diqiu City, said to Yang Ming.

After all, Yang Ming had never led a large army on his own. Although he had experienced the battle of Wucheng before, Yang Ming only had 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command in Wucheng. Although his command was skillful and unrestrained, Yang Ming also We know that a person with three thousand soldiers and horses can be invincible in all directions, but with thirty thousand soldiers and horses, it is not necessarily possible, not to mention that the soldiers and horses under his command now are fully fifty thousand regular soldiers.

Such a troop of soldiers and horses can be called an army of one hundred thousand to the outside world.

Yang Ming did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to command 50,000 soldiers and horses as smoothly as he did in the Battle of Qicheng. In order to prevent possible mistakes, Yang Ming used Zhao Ji's relationship to recruit Wang Jian, who was not yet famous in the world. But he has already brought with him a military master who is qualified to become the top general of the seven countries.

With Wang Jian assisting him and Yang Ming's own abilities, not to mention defending the country, even his 50,000-strong army would be enough to directly defeat the Wei Kingdom.

Besides, the opportunity to have Qin's future Marquis Wu Cheng serve under him as his lieutenant is a rare opportunity.

Decades later, when the world talked about Wang Jian's achievements, they mentioned that Wang Jian had been Yang Ming's deputy general, which seemed to be a good feeling.

Moreover, Yang Ming was able to realize that Wang Jian had fallen into the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, and Wang Ben had been transferred to his side by Qin Wangzheng and became Yilang. This was a sign that Qin Wangzheng wanted to win over Wang Jian for his own use.

Faced with such a situation, for Yang Ming, cheap and high-quality manpower like Wang Jian can be said to be used once or less. But since Wang Jian has completely risen, Yang Ming will naturally cherish the opportunity to use it.

"Although the city is dangerous, there are still people guarding the city. It is difficult to attack Emperor Qiu, and it will eventually fall on the guards." Yang Ming said.

"If we can destroy the courage of the defenders in one battle, we can get twice the result with half the effort." Wang Jian agreed.

"So, take a good rest today and attack the city tomorrow to test the courage of the guards." Yang Ming said.

As the Qin army set up military camps one after another under Diqiu City, the atmosphere in Diqiu City became extremely depressing.

"Have you sent a messenger?" On the wall of Diqiu City, Lord Wei looked at the Qin army camp like a long dragon under the city, and asked the general Gongsun Yu beside him with a slightly pale face.

"It has been dispatched, but it may not reach Daliang and Zhaodu. The Qin army moved too fast. Before the army could press the border, it had dispatched light cavalry to cut off all the major traffic routes." Gongsun Yu said solemnly.

"So, now Weiguo has to face the Qin army alone outside the city?" Weijun's face turned even paler when he heard this.

"There is no shortage of smart people in Zhaodu and Daliang. They may take the initiative to send troops." Gongsun Yu comforted.

"That's right, if the Wei Kingdom is lost, the Qin Kingdom will completely occupy the areas on both sides of the river. No matter Zhaodu or Daliang, they will definitely not sit back and watch this happen." Upon hearing this, Wei Jun felt like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. generally.

During the long night, countless people in Diqiu City could not sleep. Tens of thousands of Qin troops outside the city slept with them, which brought too many nightmares to their sleep.

As the general of the Wei Kingdom, Gongsun Yu lived directly on the city wall. Although the Qin army showed no sign of launching an attack, this kind of thing was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

As the sun opened the night here, the defenders of Diqiu City, who had not rested all night, woke up one by one to the sound of the war drums of the Qin army. Compared to the defenders of Diqiu City, they could not sleep at night, while the Qin army rested Everyone was very good. They all had breakfast in high spirits, arranging their armor and weapons during the rest, waiting for the order to attack.

On the city wall, Gongsun Yu looked at the movements of the Qin army outside the city and the status of the defenders on the city wall, but his heart was already calm. The current embarrassment was what he had expected.

"Right now, if we just defend, we won't be able to hold on. The Qin army may not have conquered Diqiu, but the morale of the defenders will collapse first." Gongsun Yu said to the deputy general beside him.

"Everyone knows the Qin army's reputation for being ferocious. When fighting with them, it is normal for them to be timid before fighting. What can we do?" the deputy general replied.

"It all depends on people. The Qin army is not invincible. No matter how fierce the Qin army is, it will be far away from the defeat of Dahe and close to the danger of Guanzhong. As long as we plan properly, we may not be able to reverse the tide of the war." Gongsun Yu said.

"What does the general mean?" the deputy general asked hesitantly.

"When the Qin army attacks the city, I am going to lead a group of elite soldiers to find an opportunity to break out of the city and catch the Qin army by surprise. I don't want a big victory. I just want to defeat the Qin army slightly and let the defenders up and down the Diqiu City fight. The people saw that the Qin army was not invincible, which increased the confidence of the defenders and the people to defend the city." Gongsun Yu said.

"General, is this too risky?" the lieutenant general asked in horror. Under the current circumstances, Gongsun Yu, the great general of the country, still wants to fight back. In his opinion, such a thing is too much. Unbelievable.

Although Gongsun Yu is the general of Weiguo, Weiguo is too small and weak after all. How valuable the general is is really a question worth discussing.

"My sword has not drunk blood for twenty years. Now it is time to take it out of its sheath." Gongsun Yu pressed the long sword on his waist, and a burning fighting spirit burst out from his old body.

Looking at Gongsun Yu in front of him, the deputy general saw an old tiger hibernating in the mountains in a trance. Although the tiger was old, its momentum was still there.

At that moment, he suddenly realized why Gongsun Yu could become the general of Weiguo.

For as long as he can remember, Gongsun Yu has been the general of Weiguo, and now thirty years have passed.

In these thirty years, Gongsun Yu has never led an army in battle, so Gongsun Yu only has the reputation of being a master of swordsmanship, but other than that, he has nothing. However, he has always been a general of the Wei Kingdom, even if Weiguo has experienced the drastic changes of that year, but it is still the same.

He once couldn't figure out the question, but now he seemed to see the answer.
