When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 499: The Qin army is divided into three points, and Zhang Ji attacks Dai

The black dragon flag of the Qin Dynasty fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers of the Qin army were dressed in black military uniforms. The 40-strong army rolled forward like a black torrent, and its overwhelming momentum was unstoppable.

When passing through the Tunliu camp, the mighty Qin army divided the army into three in this fortress, which was about to become the logistics hub of the Qin army.

Wang Jue led the 20-strong Southern Route Army and marched into Zhongmou and Yecheng, the important towns of Zhao State, from the direction where they had been tricked.

As a prosperous city with military and political center conditions north of the Yellow River and south of the Zhang River, Zhongmou was once the de facto companion capital of the Zhao State when it established Jinyang as its capital in the early days.

Later, Zhongmou became the capital of Zhao State twice. The first time was when Zhao Xianzi moved the capital from Jinyang to Zhongmou. Although it only served as the capital for 38 years, it helped Zhao State advance into the Hebei Plain, conquer Zhongshan State, and expand the northwest frontier territory. , and even finally settled on Ding Danhan, laying a solid foundation.

The second time was in the 21st year of Zhao Chenghou (355 BC). During the Battle of Zhao and Wei, the Wei State besieged Danhan for three years and conquered Danhan.In the next three years, Zhao State used Zhongmu as its temporary capital and continued to fight with Wei State until Wei State returned Danhan City.

After that, the significance of Zhongmu became more and more important. It was not only a military fortress to defend Wei State, but also became the companion capital of Zhao State to prevent Danhan from being conquered.

Yecheng is a large city that Zhao State finally obtained from Wei State. It is not only rich in output and developed in commerce, but its military value is even more important.

If Zhongmou is captured and then Yecheng is captured, then there will only be a southern Great Wall separated from Danhan, the capital of Zhao State.

The South Great Wall of Zhao State is shaped like a long dragon, passing through mountains and river valleys, winding at the foot of Linlu Mountain, with stone barriers and earthen walls.

In the western section, it was built along the mountains and hills; in the eastern plain area, the embankments of the Zhang and Fu rivers were connected and expanded, and the embankments were rammed and raised, which took several months to complete.

Although the name is very famous, its effect is not even as good as the barracks built during the position battle between the two armies. In addition, the Zhao State has been straining its treasury over the years and does not have sufficient funds to maintain this section of the South Great Wall, and its defensive power is even further reduced.

And if the Qin Army has already marched to the South Great Wall, it means that the Qin Army is only a hundred miles away from Danhan!

Therefore, the Zhao army will never sit back and watch the Qin army attack Zhongmou and Yecheng.

Faced with the Qin State General Wang Yan personally leading an army of 20, Zhao State would definitely send Li Mu to deal with it. As long as Li Mu could be contained, this would be a strategic victory for the Qin Army.

Of course, if Li Mu doesn't come, Wang Ye doesn't mind letting the Zhao people see whether this old general who beat Lian Po up and down can still survive!
Of the other two routes, the army on the west route was commanded by General Wang Jian, and 10 people marched through Jingxing and attacked Zhao's fortress, Yanyu.

Although Yanyucheng is remote, it has important strategic value.

If the Qin army conquers Yanyu, they can drive straight into the hinterland of Zhao State from here, blossoming in the center and turning Zhao State upside down.

After Wang Jue's South Route Army and Wang Jian's West Route Army separated their troops from Tunliu, they advanced slowly. They changed their previous turbulent posture and turned to camp step by step without arrogance or impetuosity.

Li Mu's best fighting method was the one he used when fighting the Xiongnu. He would first show the enemy with weakness to lure them in, and then encircle and annihilate them.

As for the Qin army's strategy of using force to overwhelm others and moving forward step by step, although they marched slowly, there were no flaws. Li Mu could not find a gap to penetrate and it was difficult to set up an ambush.

Whenever the Qin army passed through a dangerous place, they would inevitably send out scouts and snare killers to investigate. Li Mu's ambush was discovered many times by Wang Jue and Wang Jian.

This is the biggest advantage of using force to overwhelm others. It can be said that every step is impeccable, but the shortcomings are also obvious.

The consequences of moving step by step will inevitably be slow progress, and it is easy to fall into a situation of food shortage. If the Zhao army sends light cavalry to detour and harass the Qin army's food routes, it will push the Qin army into a desperate situation.However, the Qin army is not short of food at all now, and Qin is worrying about expanding its granaries.

If we expand the granary, with the current grain prices in Qin, the cost of building a granary is higher than the value of the grain in that warehouse.

If we don't expand the granary, so much food will have nowhere to put it, but it will give the governor a headache.

Now that the food is simply sent to the Tunliu camp, the Qin army has even changed the two-meal system to a three-meal system, which ensures to the greatest extent that every Qin army is well-fed and clothed and will never be short of food.

As for disturbing the Qin army's food routes, the Qin State was worried about this, so it sent Lu Buwei to personally guard Tunliu.

At the same time, Ba Linglong was also in charge of Tunliu. As the leader among the Eight Linglongs, Jiang Jiangbi was even more familiar with Tunliu than many local people. Together with Lu Buwei, he developed several transportation routes, as well as understanding Tunliu. Reinforcement of the camp's defense.

In addition, the commander of the baggage camp was named Ma Xing.

The one who thrives on horse is after Zhao Ma obeys the king Zhao She.

After the Battle of Changping, although King Zhao Xiaocheng fulfilled his promise and did not pursue Zhao Kuo's relatives, Ma Fujun's Zhao clan was disliked by King Zhao Xiaocheng and deeply hated by the Zhao people.

Therefore, some of the Zhao clan members secretly fled into the Qin Kingdom and called themselves the Ma clan.Ma Xing has made many military exploits. Although he is a descendant of Zhao She, the king of Ma Fu who defeated Qin in the past, he was also reused by Ying Zheng.

In the battle to destroy Zhao, Ma Xing, as a person who was well versed in the terrain of Zhao State, took the initiative to serve as the commander of the transport camp. Ma Xing also knew where there were dangers and where ambushes could be set up on the transportation route. Zhao Jun wanted to attack the Qin Army's food supplies. The Tao is never easy.

And if the Qin army's food route is still blocked by the Zhao army under this situation, then it will be the turn of the public loser Bat Wing to appear.

The bat wings built by public losers can not only be used for reconnaissance, but also for transporting food and grass.Although the quantity that can be transported is not large, it can still solve the Qin army's urgent needs when the food road is cut off.

It can be said that in order to deal with Li Mu, the Qin army has thought of all ways to break the situation under adverse circumstances.

However, unlike the two armies of Wang Jie and Wang Jian who were marching step by step, the last army was galloping forward.

Outside the city of Jinyang, Mi Dian, who was a lieutenant of Taiyuan County, glanced enviously at the Qin army who continued to march after a day's rest, and a trace of envy arose in his heart.

Among the three Qin armies, the last north route army was led by Zhang Ji, who went north to Taiyuan County, continued northward from Jinyang, and then drove straight into Daidi!

Zhang Ji's army was mainly composed of cavalry, with [-] infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] Yulin cavalry also dispatched with the army.

Moreover, today's Qin Army cavalry are elite cavalry equipped with high-bridge saddles, horseshoes and double stirrups proposed by Zhang Ji.

Among the cavalrymen of the Qin Army, Longxi County, Beidi County and Shangjun had the most children. The two areas were covered with pastures and were rich in good horses. There were also many naturalized grassland Hu people who were good at riding and shooting.

The Qin army selected the best among them and trained [-] dragon and tiger cavalry. This time they were also incorporated into the [-] cavalry under Zhang Ji. Supplemented by these three treasures of horses, even the Qiang people who grew up on horses Qiang Xu, who grew up on his back, lamented that such cavalry would never be inferior to the grassland Hu cavalry.

With this cavalry, Zhang Ji dared to march straight into Dai.
