Chapter 96 Night Attack

October 13, 260 BC, at night, at 3:00 a.m.

This is the third day since Changping launched a large-scale attack on the Qin army.

During these three days, the Qin army launched an extremely large-scale offensive and launched wave after wave of attacks on Zhao Lubi’s defense line.

On several occasions, the Qin army had almost broken the defense line of the Zhao army, but under the command of Lian Po, the Zhao army was always able to launch a counterattack at the most critical moment and fight back the Qin army that was about to succeed.

According to Wang Yu's previous experience when he was still the chief general of the Qin army, the Qin army should temporarily quit after three days of unsuccessful attack.

But the world-famous Wu'anjun seemed to have no such intentions. Instead, the offensive was higher and higher, which put Zhao's army under great pressure.

Of course, it was not the only one who was under pressure. In these three days alone, the Qin army on the attacking side had already paid the price of more than 10,000 people killed, but the Wu'anjun seemed to be completely indifferent to this, and the Qin army's offensive showed no sign of stopping.

If the Zhao army seemed like an extremely flexible bow string, then the Qin army had gradually begun to tighten the Zhao army's string to the extreme during these consecutive days of battle.

Next, either the bowstring is broken directly or it is a Jedi rebound.

······

Daliang Mountain, Zhao Jun commander's tent.

Almost at the moment when he heard the first shout of killing, the commander of Zhao army Lian Po jumped up from the hard marching collapse and subconsciously held the sword at the head of the bed.

"What's the matter?" the old general asked loudly outside the commander's tent.

A few seconds later, a reply came from outside the tent: "General, the enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack?" Lian Po was shocked and strode out of the commander's tent.

The moment she walked out of the handsome tent, Lian Po was shocked.

It was already late at night, but there was a fire in front of Lian Po. The ubiquitous torch lighted up from the north bank of the Dan River. Countless stars gathered on the earth to form a continuous dragon, which made everyone who saw it frightened.

Lian Po widened his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face at first, but this surprised expression was quickly replaced by the fierce fighting spirit.

"Bai Qi... I can't hold back."

At this time, unless you are blind, anyone can see that the Qin army has begun to launch a night attack!

To be honest, Lian Po was not surprised at all about Bai Qi's night attack.

There is a saying that you know best is never your friend, but your enemy.

Lian Po put some effort into studying Bai Qi as an enemy.

In Lian Po's view, what Bai Qi is best at is winning unexpectedly.

During Bai Qi's famous battle between Yique, the 150,000 Qin troops led by Bai Qi took advantage of the heavy fog to launch an attack. First, they bluffed the Han army with a small number of troops, and then attacked the Wei army on the flanks with all their might, quickly defeated the Wei army, and then surrounded the Han army from the flanks, defeated the Han army, and finally established the victory.

During the Battle of Huayang, Bai Qi led the Qin army to complete a thousand-mile raid day and night, causing the Zhao-Wei coalition forces, which were completely caught off guard, to suffer a super defeat.

In the battle to defeat Chu and defeat Yanying, Bai Qi alone entered the Chu territory, flooding hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and civilians in Yandu, forcing King Xiang of Chu to flee, Xiong Heng, who was not fighting and caught.

In short, Bai Qi seems to have a thousand plans in his mind, just as Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "Those who are good at being strange are as endless as heaven and earth, and as endless as rivers." You can't guess what this Wu'an Jun will do next!

This is obviously not good news for Lian Po, because Lian Po suddenly discovered that Bai Qi had too many routines and could not guess thoroughly.

So after some painstaking thought, Lian Po made the decision he thought was the safest.

This general won't guess.

Anyway, Bai Qi is going to attack. Since that's the case, then this general only needs to defend the defense line, which is enough.

As long as this general manages the defense line without any leakage, what if Bai Qi has a thousand plans? If you have the ability, fly over!

This is called "to respond to changes with constant change".

It has to be said that at least in the past three days, Lian Po's strategy has been successful.

Although the Qin army launched hundreds of attacks of all sizes on the front dozens of miles, and even used ace troops like Qin Ruishi, the Zhao army, under the central dispatch of Lian Po, could be said to have almost perfectly blocked the Qin army's offensive, and did not allow the Qin people to cross the line.

This even made the old general feel a little complacent in his heart.

Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, but that's it!

But even so, Lian Po did not relax his vigilance. The veteran general, who had been through many battles, knew very well that he could not be blindly optimistic until the day of complete victory.

It is precisely for this reason that Lian Po has been issuing orders to various troops for several days - beware of the night attack of the Qin army!

Sure enough, on the third night of the battle, the night attack of the Qin people came.

So when Lian Po looked at the countless fires suddenly gushing out of the south bank of Dan River, he was not afraid or panic in his heart, but instead felt endless fighting spirit.

There is no doubt that this sudden night attack was definitely the moment when Bai Qi's picture was revealed.

Since this is the case, let this general see Bai Qi’s ability!

Although the killing sounds on the south bank of Dan River were shocking at this moment, Lian Po was not in a hurry to make a judgment, but calmly stared at the ubiquitous firelight in front of him, trying to find out the real direction of Bai Qi's attack.

You should know that night attacks like this are usually a suddenness.

After all, from a simple attacking point of view, because of poor vision at night, holding a torch is easy to become a living target for guard archers, so you must succeed in one blow, otherwise, if you wait until guard archers react, it will be basically in vain.

At this moment, just as Lian Po was watching, five fire dragons composed of hundreds of torches had begun to cross the river and attacked Zhao Renbi's defense line on the front battlefield about ten miles wide.

With just a glance, Lian Po could conclude that these five troops were all fully equipped with Qin army formations, which are the so-called "teams".

There are 6,000 people in one unit, so the total number of Qin troops that launched attacks at night is at least 30,000!

In less than a few minutes, the 30,000 vanguard troops had already crossed the Dan River with the firepower of the Zhao army and launched an attack on Zhao Lebi.

Not only that, there are also many long dragons wandering and rushing farther away.

In fact, the Qin army launched a comprehensive offensive on the entire Danhe battlefield that lasted dozens of miles.

One after another, the messenger came to Lian Po and reported the situation loudly.

"General, Xuanshi City was attacked by Qin army, and the battle situation was very fierce. The guards asked for help!"

"General, Han Wangshan encountered the Qin army and the offensive was extremely fierce. The defender asked for help!"

"General, Daliang Mountain was attacked by Qin and was fighting against the enemy. The enemy was in a hurry to attack, and the defender asked for help!"

One after another, the information reached Lian Po's ears, which made Lian Po's brows slowly frown.

To be honest, this situation is unusual.

As a famous general who is familiar with military strategy, Lian Po asked himself that if he had been in a place with Bai Qi, he would have sent several suspicious soldiers to attack and create momentum to cover the real main attacking troops to launch a raid.

As long as the main attacking force can tear a gap, the main force of the Qin army can follow suit and break the surface with a point and completely defeat the Zhao army's defense line.

But the question is, where is Bai Qi's main attack direction?

If we judge based solely on the information in front of us, it will give people a feeling that every direction is the main attack direction of the Qin army.

This is simply impossible!

Lian Po stood on the Daliang Mountain and slowly turned his head to stare at the battlefield.

There are smoke everywhere, fires soaring into the sky, and shouts of killing are everywhere.

Lian Po's face gradually became cold.

Obviously, Bai Qi didn't want Lian Po to guess which was the main attack direction of the Qin army.

Lian Po's mouth moved slightly and he sneered.

"Bai Qi, may you really think that this general is so easy to deceive!"

Lian Po waved his hand and immediately issued an order: "Ship all soldiers of the army to resist on the spot and do not take a step back. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"

After issuing this order, Lian Po immediately issued the next order.

"So quickly investigate this general. Where has it fallen and where hasn't encountered the Qin army yet!"

Lian Po's order was quickly sent one by one and received a response soon.

"General, Hyun City has not yet fallen."

"General, Han Wangshan is also in a fierce battle."

"General, Changping Pass has not replied yet!"

"General, Daitokura River Valley is in a tough battle!"

Just as the last messenger was rewarding, Lian Po seemed to have suddenly caught something.

"Dadongkura River Valley?" Lian Po slowly chewed on the name, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

This Dadongcang River Valley is not an insignificant place. Once it is occupied by the Qin army, the Qin army can head north along the Dadongcang River Valley and head straight to Guguan on the southeast side of the Bailishi Great Wall.

Once the Guguan was captured by the Qin army, the main retreat of the Zhao army on Daliangshan, Han Wangshan and Xuanshi City will be cut off by more than half!

When he thought of this, Lian Po subconsciously took a breath of air conditioning.

Could it be that the real attack direction of the Qin army is the Dadongcang River Valley?
