25. What Li Jian wants is not a defeat, but a total annihilation!
Faced with Zhao Kuo's crazy impact, Li Jian's expression was very calm and even wanted to laugh.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Tragedy often occurs when the ability is not enough to match responsibilities.
Zhao Kuo in history is such a tragedy.
Today, let’s end this tragedy here.
Li Jian slowly stretched out his hand and landed on the map.
"Zhao Dutong, in order to prevent your attack, I will gather heavy troops in the front line of Guanglang City to defend."
"With the elite of the Qin army, no matter how sharp your offensive is, you will never be able to take down Guanglang City within one or two days."
Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and recognized Li Jian's judgment, but was not discouraged.
"Dutong Li, although you can defend the defensive line, the Qin army's defense line where you are is not suitable for defense. At the beginning, I couldn't defend the line of defense in Guanglang City. Now as long as I attack hard, you will never be able to stick to this line of defense for too long."
Looking at Zhao Kuo's firm eyes, you know that he is indeed prepared.
Li Jian smiled and continued to tap the map with his fingers.
"What Zhao Dutong said is indeed correct. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend the front line of Wolf City, but it is actually a bad idea to defend."
"Of course I can't be beaten passively like this. In fact, when Zhao Dutong launched an attack, my counterattack had already begun."
"The first counterattack place...is here, Changping Pass."
Looking at where Li Jian's finger was, Zhao Kuo was stunned.
"Li Dutong, one of my three armies is to start from Changping Pass and attack your left wing defense line of Guanglang City head-on. Do you mean to defeat my 100,000 troops on the right and then capture Changping Pass?"
Seeing this, Le Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Defeat the 100,000 elite Zhao soldiers head-on? Are the other 300,000 elite Zhao soldiers all fools, just let the Qin army do whatever they want?"
Lian Po glared at Le Cheng and raised his tone: "Le Cheng, what we are deducing now is Li Jian and Zhao Kuo. You should not have so many things to do with a judge and supervisor. Stop your mouth!"
Le Cheng then realized that the audience was filled with dissatisfaction, so he could only close his mouth awkwardly.
Li Jian was not disturbed by this small episode. He stretched out his hand and moved to the other end of the map.
"Zhao Dutong didn't know that from Guanglang City to Changping Pass, there was not only the Xiaodongcang River Valley on the front."
"In fact, in the northwest of Kongcangling, the left wing camp of Qin army, there is a small path that can go north secretly along Kongcangling."
"As soon as you launch an attack, I will send 30,000 troops to hike from the trail of Kongcangling, spend a day detouring, and launch an attack on Changping Pass the next night."
"At this time, your main force on the right wing is concentrated in the Xiaodongcang River Valley area, and the defense of Changping Pass must be extremely empty."
"My 30,000 soldiers can completely take down Changping Pass before your right-wing main force responds, and cut off your connection with the three counties in Tunliu, the northern part of Shangdang County."
After Li Jian finished speaking, the audience was shocked at the same time.
Zhao Kuo suddenly rushed to the map and stared at the direction Li Jian pointed.
"Impossible, where the path comes from, it's impossible to have a path!"
Zhao Kuo obviously didn't believe it.
Li Jian laughed.
"The road is something that people walk out of. Kongcangling is originally a necessary road to the south and north of Shangdang County. Why can't there be a road?"
"No one noticed the path on the left side of Kongcangling before. It was because there was a flat route like Xiaodongcang River Valley on the right side of Kongcangling. Of course, normal people don't need to work hard to climb mountains and wade on the left."
"But there are no cliffs on the left side of Kongcangling, but they are just dense forests and difficult shrubs. As long as you find a way, you can overcome these difficulties."
"Besides, what if there is really no road? After three years of confrontation, can the Qin army 600,000 people secretly open up a path of more than ten or twenty miles?"
Li Jian's words hit Zhao Kuo's heart word by word, making Zhao Kuo's body tremble.
Zhao Kuo was powerless to refute.
In other words, in the deduction, Changping Pass has fallen!
Zhao Kuo tried hard to calm his mind and said to Li Jian: "The only way for our army to retreat is not only Changping Pass, but also Gu Pass! Even if Changping Pass has been captured by you, as long as Gu Pass is still there, the situation of war can still be supported."
Li Jian smiled and nodded: "That's the truth. So, when my first surprise attacks against Changping Pass, my second surprise will naturally attack at the same time."
At this moment, the minds of the bystanders were completely attracted, and countless eyes locked on Li Jian, and his eyes moved along the map with his fingers.
Li Jian said: "The second surprise soldier set out from the right side of our Qin army camp. With five thousand cavalry as the main force, one thousand chariots and twenty thousand infantry as follow-up support, it was inserted into the Dadongcang River Valley in one fell swoop."
"Zhao Dutong, your main force is concentrated on the opposite side of Guanglang City, and the defense of the Dadongkuang River Valley is relatively empty. Once my troops capture the Dadongkuang River Valley, then your other retreat will be cut off by me."
Zhao Kuo's face turned red and he couldn't help but refute: "It's simply nonsense. Shangdang County is all mountainous areas. How could there be mobile troops like 5,000 cavalry and 1,000 chariots!"
Li Jian laughed.
"I repeat again, Zhao Dutong. You and I have been in the mountainous area of Shangdang County for three years! Three years is enough for me to open a small path from the dense forest of Chongshan to attack Changping Pass, and it is also enough for me to transport five thousand armored cavalry and one thousand chariots to the front line!"
Zhao Kuo's face was trembling and he looked at Li Jian incredibly.
"You, you had already planned it from the beginning?"
Li Jian's smile became brighter.
"Otherwise, why would I spend three years here with you? It's impossible for me to be in a stalemate for three years just to fight an unprepared 55 war with you, right?"
Zhao Kuo was speechless.
There were obviously hundreds of people at the scene, but at this moment, everyone fell into silence.
There was an expression of disbelief on every face.
Tian Dan murmured to himself: "After Changping Pass and Gu Pass were cut off, Da Zhao's 400,000 troops were all surrounded in this narrow area of Han Wangshan and Xiaodongcang River Valley."
Lian Po was trembling all over excitedly and said, "And Changping Pass and Guguan were originally dangerous places where one man could not open a pass. Li Jian could withstand Zhao Kuo's army's full-scale counterattack with a small number of elite troops."
"What's more, Li Jian and his main force can tightly restrain Zhao Kuo's main force on the front. The entire battle is simply too calm. He can easily trap Zhao Kuo's 400,000 people in the encirclement!"
Lian Po looked at Li Jian. At this moment, the famous general of Zhao State was full of unconcealed appreciation in his eyes.
"I thought Li Jian wanted to defeat Zhao Kuo and occupy Shangdang County. Unexpectedly, his appetite was so big."
"He wants to wipe out Zhao Kuo's 400,000 troops...and he did it too!"
Accompanied by Lian Po's passionate commentary, everyone watching was in a huge shock.
Encircle and annihilate the 400,000 troops?
This... is an unprecedented feat.
