I Want To Be Qin II

The sun sets in the west and the afterglow fades.

The world fell into darkness. After eating in the shogunate, Ying Gao looked at the map and remained silent for a long time.

He knew in his heart that he did not want to break through Anyang as soon as possible and had the idea of ​​​​training troops in his heart, but Jingxing Pass was different.

Li Mu was like a hungry wolf.

Moreover, the terrain of Jingxing Pass was too favorable for the Zhao army, which would put Da Qin at a disadvantage. The truth is that the time, place and people are favorable.

In war, location is extremely important.

"General Ying, Li Mu has the home field advantage. General, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the set goal in a short time!" Fan Zeng held the tea cup and said to Ying Gao.

"Li Mu not only occupies the home court advantage, but also the geographical advantage!"

The pole in Ying Gao's hand moved slightly and passed through the Jingxing Pass area: "Taihang Mountain and its Shangdang Mountains are natural barriers."

"The Taihang Mountains stretch from north to south. This is a vast mountain plateau that spans more than a hundred miles from east to west."

"This is a highland that is nearly a thousand miles from north to south and hundreds of miles from east to west. And this dangerous place that stretches for thousands of miles has only exits on the east and west sides."

"The canyon passages that cross from east to west are, from south to north: Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing, Baixing, Fukouxing, Jingxing, Feihuxing, Puyinxing, and Junduxing?"

At this point, Ying Gao's tone changed slightly, he chuckled at Fan Zeng, and said: "According to reliable information and the teacher's pre-war plan, Li Mu and the teacher have the same goal."

At this time, Ying Gao's zhangzhang pole landed on the place circled in red: "That is Jingxing Mountain. There is a pass here called Jingxing Pass."

"Jingxing Mountain is not a towering mountain, but Jingxing Pass is indeed a dangerous place for military strategists."

"This time the Zhao State is defending in danger, and the main general is Li Mu. Even though the teacher has a peerless general, it will be difficult to break through in a short time."

"So, the only way now is for us or General Meng Tian to make a breakthrough."

Hearing what Ying Gao said, Zhang Liang was a little confused. He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Ying Gao: "In that case, why doesn't General Ying take the opportunity to attack Anyang in one fell swoop, thereby reducing the pressure on the general?"

Hearing this, Ying Gao glanced at Zhang Liang and couldn't help but smile. Today's Zhang Liang is still too young and has not experienced much, so that he has big deficiencies in terms of vision and other aspects.

It's just that Zhang Liang has full potential after all. At this time, he didn't mind giving a few pointers and said to Zhang Liang.

"Three armies destroyed Zhao at the same time. If the Zhao army was not held back in the direction of Wu'an and Jingxingguan, even if we attack Anyang, it would be of no use."

"..."

Ying Gao said some words, but he didn't say them so clearly. He believed that even if Zhang Liang didn't understand them at the moment, he would eventually understand them.

With an army of 250,000, even if it was one of the best, it would be difficult to truly destroy the State of Zhao, not even if he personally led the army.

Therefore, whether he or Meng Tian breaks through, the remaining two parties need to hold back the rest of the Zhao army. Only in this way can they advance all the way without worries.

Without the restraint of the other two groups, even if Anyang is conquered, it will be of no use. A city is of no great use to the Qin Dynasty.

This was also the reason why Ying Gao chose to train in Anyang, but did not attack Anyang immediately.

"Everyone go down and rest. In three days, we are going to attack Anyang and march outside Handan City!"

"promise."

With a nod of agreement, everyone left one after another, and only Ying Gao was left in the shogunate. At this moment, Master Sima hurried over.

"General Ying, the general has given orders. All armies are in position. It's time to attack Anyang."

"Immediately send our people to tell the two generals that after three days, we will conquer Anyang, and on the fourth day, the army will march under the city of Handan."

At this point, Ying Gao changed the topic and turned to Sima Division: "When our army Chen Bing arrives outside Handan City, we will need the command of all the Qin armies except the Jingxingguan army."

"Within three months, we will take Handan, and then the general will encircle Li Mu."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Master Sima turned and left. He was Ying Gao's confidant, so naturally he would not doubt Ying Gao's orders.

Watching Master Sima leave, Ying Gao thought for a long time. Facing Tie Ying: "Send someone to General Meng Tian's army and deliver a letter to the general."

"promise."

Without saying much, Ying Gao wrote a letter, put it in a copper tube, sealed it with mud, and handed it to Tie Ying.

…

Anyang.

"General, there has been no news from Anyang Order. At the same time, our rear has been captured by Qin Army Yang Duanhe's troops."

The deputy general's eyes were full of worry, and he turned to the Anyang guard: "Now, Anyang is an isolated city, and neither reinforcements nor baggage can come in."

Hearing this, General Anyang's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that the Qin army was so frantic that they still divided their troops at this time.

"Shameless boy, how dare you underestimate me, the State of Zhao!" In his opinion, Ying Gao simply looked down on him.

After being angry, General Anyang calmed down. He also knew that Ying Gao's illustrious reputation naturally meant that the other party had the right to underestimate him.

"Let brothers be more vigilant and be on guard against the Qin Army's Ye Zi!" Having said this, General Anyang said to the deputy general: "Tonight, you will personally lead your direct line to break through."

"If no reinforcements arrive from the rear, the isolated city of Anyang will not be able to hold on for long."

This was the only strategy that General Anyang could think of. He knew in his heart that the huge gap between him and Ying Gao, as well as the gap in the numbers of Qin and Zhao armies, was definitely not something that a single city could erase.

As a military commander, he naturally knew the process of Ying Gao's rise and was extremely afraid of Ying Gao.

"General, Yang Duanhe is blocking our army's route from the rear. It will be difficult to break out!" The deputy general's eyes were full of worry. He knew in his heart that breaking out would almost mean death.

"There is no other way!"

General Anyang looked ugly, and spoke earnestly to the deputy general: "It is not yet known whether the Anyang order will convey the news to Handan. Today, Anyang is an isolated city. Weapons, food, and reinforcements cannot enter."

"If we don't take the opportunity to break out and ask for help, when the food and grass in the city are cut off, that will be the real end of the road. Even if the Qin army doesn't attack the city, the people in the city will tear us apart."

General Anyang saw this very clearly. Between life and death, many rules, laws, and morals are simply difficult to restrain and will lose their effect.

Survive!

Survival is the first priority.

Some people once said that people who are about to starve to death are no longer human beings. General Anyang believed this.

He has seen such a scene and naturally knows how tragic Anyang will be if food shortage occurs.
