Chapter 231: Besieging Julu
Zhang Han led the newly victorious tiger and wolf army of the Qin Dynasty and quickly marched towards Zhang Er of Julu.
Whether this battle can be successful depends on whether they can arrive at Julu before Zhang Er notices Li Jian’s bluffing momentum and complete the siege of Julu Zhao Army.
Once this encirclement is completed, Zhang Er's Zhao army will face a catastrophe.
Now let’s see if the psychological shadows caused to Chen Yu before are big enough. Once Chen Yu really falls into the trap and doesn’t come to rescue Zhang Er, then the game Zhang Han and Li Jian will be completed.
At that time, the army will command troops and wipe out the rebels of Zhao State.
It's just that time is a bit urgent.
Just when Zhang Han's troops were dispatched to Julu, he also received a report from a scout that the three coalition forces of Wei, Qi and South Korea were gathering and preparing to cooperate with the Zhao army to attack Hangu Pass.
Judging from this news, these three families do not know that Hangu Pass has launched an attack on the Zhao army and do not want to give Zhao a chance to enter the pass alone. Because whoever enters the pass first will first seize control of the Daqin Imperial City.
All fools know that Xianyang has a treasure of the country left by the Qin Dynasty.
"The whole army is moving forward at full speed. Be sure to arrive at Julu before the hour of Mao, cooperate with General Li Jian to complete the encirclement of the Zhao army. At the same time, we will reveal the news to Chen Yu that we only surround Zhang Er's army without attacking, with the purpose of attracting Chen Yu's Zhao army and intercepting it halfway." Zhang Han's eyes flashed with cold light and ordered the side generals around him.
He and Li Jian had already agreed that the real goal of this war was to eat Zhang Er's main force in one fell swoop. As for what he said to Chen Yu, it was a smoke screen. As long as Chen Yu did not dare to act rashly, they would win half of this battle.
The soldiers of the Great Qin Jiaxing walked in a hurry at night and finally arrived at Julu before the hour of Mao.
At this time, the Qin soldiers led by Li Jian were bluffing, scaring Zhang Er inside so much that he did not dare to go out to test the camp. He just set up fences made of war chariots around the camp in Julu to guard against them.
When Li Jian saw Zhang Er's formation, he sneered at the corner of his mouth.
The troops he brought were not enough to besiege the entire Zhao army. If Zhang Er really had the courage to go out of the city to fight, he would know his reality.
But Zhang Er is just a scholar. If it weren't for this troubled time, he would be just an aide who was shaking his lips and swaying in front of the noble son of the palace. The ability to truly lead troops to fight is not worth laughing at.
One moment before Mao was about to go, a military soldier came to report that Marshal Zhang Han's main force in Hangu Pass had arrived, and he completed the encirclement of the Zhao army in the other direction.
When Li Jian heard the news, he laughed and ordered: "Stop bluffing and make trouble this night. I'm tired. Be careful and hurry up and take the time to rest."
"No." The messenger agreed and went directly to promote the order.
Li Jianze sorted out his armor and stepped onto the war horse and rushed towards Zhang Han.
Although Zhang Han's army had just arrived, these soldiers were well-trained and camped in an orderly manner.
Seeing the state of the Qin soldiers, Li Jian nodded secretly. Zhang Han and Zhang Er were both literati. But their abilities to lead troops were completely different. Just look at it in turn, Zhang Han has the style of a famous general. Zhang Er, in Li Jian's eyes, is only good at defending himself. As for attacking and killing the enemy, he is probably not good at it.
Li Jian came to Zhang Han's tent and turned over and dismounted.
A soldier had long seen Li Jian and hurriedly informed Zhang Han about his location. At the same time, someone led Li Jian towards the place where Zhang Han was.
From a distance, Li Jian saw Zhang Han.
Because he had just arrived, Zhang Han's commander's tent had not been raised yet. He was now surrounded by several generals, and the torches around him were illuminated by the map between them.
"You are responsible for the siege in the north; you two are responsible for the east and Li Jian is responsible for the south, and I am responsible for the west... You two are responsible for finding the Zhao army's food route, and after finding it, intercepting the Zhao army's food transport..." Zhang Han arranged these things in an orderly manner.
"Marson, Li Jian pays homage to you." Li Jian rushed over, clasped his fists at Zhang Han, and immediately participated in Zhang Han's arrangement.
"General Li Jian, you have been confused by the Zhao army for nearly six hours, tell me the situation." Zhang Han asked.
Li Jian glanced at everyone, and without hesitation, he pointed directly at the map of Zhao army camp in front of Zhang Han and said, "Look, before I arrived, this ear formed a battle formation with chariots and surrounded outside the camp. This formation is conducive to defense. Judging from his deployment, I am afraid that he was originally counting on Bai Ba to attack the city, but he did not intend to lead the army to attack the city himself. From this, it can be seen that it is ridiculous that King Zhao chose this person as the main general."
Zhang Han and others followed and smiled, some acknowledged Li Jian's analysis and some shook their heads slightly.
"This kind of defender is not easy to attack. The last general believes that this confrontation with Zhang Er may last for several days. Our siege is like an iron barrel and cut off their food route. In just a few days, the Zhao army will definitely be defeated without a fight." Li Jian continued to talk about his thoughts.
Most generals felt it made sense after hearing Li Jian’s analysis.
Zhang Han also nodded and recognized Li Jian's idea, pointed to the two generals beside him and said, "I think so too, so I sent them to find the enemy's food route. As long as I find the food route, Zhang Er's bloodline will be cut off."
Li Jian looked at the two side generals, both of whom were brave generals under Wang Ben’s command. The two were brave, but if they wanted to complete the task of finding food channels, they might not be competent.
He glanced around and asked, "Marcenary, when Mo Jiang left Hangu Pass, he once asked two partial generals to protect the Marshal. Why are these two people not here now? Could it be that they were killed?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han bowed to Li Jian and said, "When talking about this, I really want to thank the general for being so meticulous. What the general mentioned is Chen Ke and Wei Gui?"
Li Jian nodded and replied, "That's right, why didn't you see these two people coming?"
"They not only saved my life outside Hangu Pass, but also captured Bai Ba alive. This time, he made great contributions." Zhang Han smiled and continued, "It was just that Wei Gui was slightly injured at that time, so I let them stay at Hangu Pass."
Li Jian heard this and wanted to continue saying something, but after looking at the few perverse generals around him, he had to give up.
Zhang Han didn't think it was different, he just thought that these two people might be Li Jian's old soldiers and was very concerned about it, and did not think much about it.
Several people continued to arrange military disputes until it was dawn and more than 100,000 soldiers from Daqin were camped.
After a night of trouble, these soldiers not only did not look tired, but also were full of fighting spirit.
"Soldiers, this is the first battle we have siege Zhang Er. Who would like to go out and give us the lottery?" Zhang Han asked proudly, looking at the side general under the tent.
After hearing this, several generals went forward to fight.
