Chapter 69 Confrontation
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cong let go of his tightly clasped hand. "Say!"
The scout said after coughing a few times, "Although the cave I hide is hidden, you can vaguely see the road leading to Handan. In the past few days, several waves of troops have moved south almost every day, and roughly estimated that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000!"
"Do you know the consequences of lying about military affairs!" Zhao Cong threatened after hearing this.
"I, Niu Er, swear to the sky, every word I say is true. If there is any falsehood, I will deal with it!" The scout named Niu Er swears.
"Well, you go down first, you did a good job this time. I will definitely receive a reward." Zhao Cong said.
"General Thank you!"
"General, do you think this matter..." After the scout left, Zhao Lin walked up to ask.
"We're fooled!" Zhao Cong said angrily.
"Please teach me?"
"Bairen City is high and deep, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Qin army's target is probably not Bairen City at all, but heading straight to Handan." Zhao Cong analyzed,
"According to what the scout said just now, the Qin army had already moved south by 70,000 to 80,000. The total number of Qin army in the remaining Qin army was only about 90,000. It can be said that the maximum number of Qin army camps was only 10,000 or 20,000 people."
"Why did the Qin army do this with great effort?" Zhao Lin continued to ask.
"If I was not wrong in guessing, it should be to paralyze me. If you want to attack the cypress people, it will take a long time to lose troops and lose generals. It is better to let the cypress people go directly to attack the relatively weak Handan. Once the city of Handan is broken, I will become a rootless grass, which will be difficult for a long time.
However, Wang Jian was afraid that our army would attack its retreat, so he set up a maze here to paralyze me, making me unable to reach the outside world and dare not attack. I guess the sound of training in the Qin army camp was just a bluff of more than ten thousand people."
"General, you have great opinions! It's beyond our ordinary people." After Zhao Cong said that, Zhao Lin quickly flattered him.
"After I study hard every day, you will be alone!" Zhao Cong said proudly, "This Wang Jian is a bit capable, and he almost hides me!"
"General, since we have understood the Qin army's intentions, what should we do next?"
"The Qin army camp is empty, and with the 30,000 troops that I Bai people have, it is enough to swallow them. When our army breaks through the Qin army camp, we will go south to rescue Handan!" Zhao Cong immediately made the next step of the war deployment.
Since it has been concluded that the defense of the Qin army camp is relaxed, it is just a strong man on the outside and the middle. Zhao Cong, who is proud and satisfied, will naturally not think about any conspiracy. In his opinion, he directly pressed his more than 30,000 troops directly with overwhelming force, and cleanly and neatly dealt with the Qin army with the force of Mount Tai to show his great military achievements.
On that day, Zhao Cong's orders were passed down one by one, and the troops began to rectify their military preparations and prepare for the expedition.
The next morning, before the dawn was dawn, the Zhao army troops had already gathered and prepared to attack.
"When you attack the Qin captives, the enemy camp will cook early!" This is the bold statement made by Zhao Cong in front of the soldiers of the three armies.
In his opinion, the Qin army who remained behind would never have thought that it would take the initiative and be unprepared. In addition, the troops were weaker than themselves, so they could get no less than taking things out of their pockets.
When you break through the Qin camp and directly make food in the enemy camp, you can show that you are using your troops like a god and have no choice but to do it.
In the future, future generations will talk about his classic battle example of Zhao Cong's "breaking the enemy and cooking early" and there is no such honor.
Therefore, under the wise decision of General Zhao Cong, 30,000 Zhao troops were all out when they were hungry, and their troops were aimed directly at the Qin army camp.
As the saying goes, people are boundless, and the spread of 30,000 people and horses in Bairen City has a momentum full of mountains and fields.
"If such a powerful army is bound to be defeated!" Zhao Cong said proudly while standing on the wall of cypress.
As a matter of such a risky war, Zhao Cong, who has a noble status, naturally cannot do it himself, even in the battle that it seems to win.
After all, there is no eyebrow on the battlefield. If his daughter is a little surprised, he will suffer a huge loss.
Therefore, the task of capturing the Qin army camp was arranged by Zhao Cong to his fellow clan, Comrade Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin, who also came to gilt to earn some military merits, was reluctant, but under the military order, he had no choice but to lead his troops to war.
However, Zhao Lin, who was timid and afraid of death, would naturally not charge forward. After handing over the task of the first attack to several generals who were filial to him, Zhao Lin stayed at the rear army with peace of mind.
With such a division of troops, only more than 25,000 troops were left, and the remaining 5,000 troops were naturally left in the rear army to protect him.
As soon as the Zhao army approached the Qin camp, a few generals felt something was wrong. When Li Mu was there, they were basically just some middle and lower-level officers and could not come to the table at all. As soon as Li Mu left, these people reached the high position with flattery, and their experience in leading the army to lead the troops to fight was basically no.
But even if they were fools at this time, they felt something was wrong.
What Zhao Cong said to them was that there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people in the Qin army camp, and without any defense, the army rushed to win.
And what they saw at this time was far from what Zhao Cong said.
The Qin army was not prepared, and the Qin army in the camp had already arranged in an orderly manner to face the enemy. There were only 10,000 or 20,000 people. Now the Qin army troops they saw seemed to be far more than the Zhao army that was attacking, with at least 30,000 to 40,000 people!
At this moment, several generals were afraid and dared not attack.
"Dongdongdongdong..." A series of rapid war drums sounded, and the Qin army began to attack.
"Kill!" A series of thunderous shouts and killing sounds poured towards Zhao army with passionate drum beats.
At this time, due to the sudden change in the situation, the Zhao army did not have a unified leadership. Several generals acted independently, but issued completely different military orders.
Some brave men ordered their troops to advance and face the Qin army's edge; some ordered them to retreat, and faced the sudden attack of the Qin army, and thought they were incapable of the enemy and wanted to retreat to the Bai people; some ordered the troops to defend on the spot, trying to withstand this wave of attack from the Qin army before making plans.
For a moment, before the Qin army could attack, the Zhao army himself became a mess. The retreating Zhao army and the attacking ones squeezed together, and the retreating ones could not retreat, and the advance ones could not move. You pushed me and I pushed you and squeezed into a group of people in some places, and there was no formation at all.
Many of the troops in the brigade were in chaos. The soldiers could not find generals, and the generals could not find soldiers. The shouts, shouts and scolds were mixed with the orders of the generals, and they were all in a mess.
I don’t know how to follow, and the hungry Zhao army met the well-prepared and energetic Qin army. Naturally, the winner was decided at first contact.
