Chapter 181 Zhao Feng: Where are the Great Qin warriors? !
For Wuyang.
This princess is from another country.
Although marrying in seemed like a privilege, Wang Yan was still somewhat skeptical.
If she really has any ulterior motives, she must be stopped at the source.
And at this moment.
Wuyang was extremely panicked and even struggling.
"what do I do?"
"Now that I'm married to my husband, do I really have to listen to my father?"
"But if I really do this, I'm afraid I will be called the most vicious woman in history." Wu Yang thought with great struggle in her heart.
…
Cloud City! Military camp and general's residence.
"Admiral."
"Ten days' worth of dry food has been prepared for the entire army."
"The entire army can move with just one order from the general." Zhang Han reported with a fist clasped.
And at this moment.
In the general's palace.
All the generals gathered together, and the scene was solemn.
"map."
Zhao Feng spoke.
"promise."
Zhang Ming responded immediately.
The next moment.
Han Chenyan brought a few personal guards and brought up a map, which they spread out directly in the main hall of the general's mansion.
This map depicts the scenery of the State of Wei.
Zhao Feng slowly stood up and walked towards the map.
All the generals in the hall also stood up and gathered towards the map.
"Yunzhong City is closest to Yan State."
"But less than fifty miles to the south is the State of Wei."
"Since the destruction of Zhao, Wei Wuji has been gathering troops, training them, and developing his military strength."
"After I set up my Wu'an Camp."
"Wei Wuji also deployed heavy troops to defend the border city of Chiyanggao."
"According to secret reports, the number of troops stored exceeds 150,000."
"There is enough food and supplies, and the city defenses have been reinforced by Wei Wuji." Zhao Feng said slowly.
The generals nodded.
Since they were stationed in Yunzhong City, they had naturally been looking for intelligence about the State of Wei.
after all.
Wei Wuji also knew clearly that the establishment of Wuan Camp in Yunzhong City was aimed at his Wei State. Wei Wuji must be concerned about the defense of Wuan Camp.
"Admiral."
"Yanggao City has such a large military force, Wei Wuji clearly wants to defend it strictly."
"It won't be easy to break the city." Zhang Han said in a deep voice.
"Zhang Ming, tell the generals the details of the Wei general guarding Yanggao City." Zhao Feng said very calmly.
Zhang Ming immediately stepped forward, took out a piece of cloth, and said loudly: "The general guarding Yanggao City is named Long Zhang. He is the descendant of Long Jia, the former general of Wei State. Two years ago, he was invited by Wei Wuji to serve as the general to guard the border."
"In addition, under Long Zhang, there are several deputy generals selected by Wei Wuji himself. They are all new nobles of Wei State and have the ability to command troops."
"Inside Yanggao City."
"There are 50,000 elite soldiers of Wei State, and 100,000 new troops of Wei State."
"In addition to the 150,000 troops deployed to defend Yanggao City, another 250,000 troops were deployed to defend Heluo City west of Wei State to defend the Hangu Pass camp. Pang Wu, the descendant of Pang Juan, the former general of Wei State, was also deployed to guard the city."
"This is the 400,000-strong army that Wei State has deployed on the border."
"In addition, there are 200,000 troops guarding the Wei capital Daliang City. These 200,000 troops do not include the 50,000 imperial guards, let alone the private soldiers and slaves of the Wei nobles."
"In Yanggao City, there is enough food and fodder for a 150,000-man army for a year, all of which were collected by Wei Wuji a long time ago."
…
Zhang Ming reported Yang Gaocheng and even the details of Wei's military strength.
Without a doubt.
These news not only came from the Qin court, but also from Zhao Feng's Yan Court.
Over the past few years, Yan Ting has developed rapidly, and with the presence of dignitaries from various countries in Jiuxian Tower, a lot of news has been received.
"Generals."
"This is the inside story of Yanggao City."
"What do you think?" Zhao Feng smiled at the generals.
"Before hearing this news."
"Originally, I thought we could use the strength of our main camp to split up our forces, bypass Yunzhong City, and cut off all the food and military supplies for Yanggao City, thus forcing the Wei army in Yanggao City to fight."
"But now it seems."
"Wei Wuji had expected this a long time ago. He just wanted to delay the confrontation with our Great Qin and wait for something unexpected to happen."
"It's impossible to force them to leave the city to fight." Li You said seriously.
"Wei Wuji is an old general who has served for several dynasties. His ability to command troops is unquestionable. How could he not think of what you can think of?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
"Admiral."
"There is one thing I don't understand." Tu Sui looked at Zhao Feng and said.
"Speak." Zhao Feng said.
"It was Wei who first launched an attack on the Qin State. Now the Qin State has a legitimate reason to launch an attack. The Wei State is now isolated and helpless. What's the point of Wei Wuji delaying like this?"
"Is there really any country that dares to send troops to help Wei?" Tu Sui asked puzzledly.
"Yes." Zhao Feng was very sure.
All the generals looked at Zhao Feng.
"Chu."
Zhao Feng directly spat out two words.
"Chu State, do they dare?" Tu Sui was very shocked.
"hehe."
“Countries share interests.”
"My Great Qin has conquered two countries in a row. It would be a lie if Chu State did not feel tempted."
"but."
"If Chu really intends to mobilize troops, it is not something we can control. The king will make the decision."
"What we need to do is to break through Wei's defense and destroy Wei." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Please give the order, General."
"I will follow you till death."
Throughout the hall, the three main generals and six deputy generals all spoke in unison.
Everyone trusts Zhao Feng very much.
Zhao Feng deserves the title of the ever-victorious general because he has never been defeated since he joined the army.
"The king issued an edict saying that the harem would attack Wei in two months, but in reality it was only one month."
"There are only two days left until the one-month deadline."
"Yanggao City, although it has been repaired by Wei Wuji, the city defense has been strengthened and heavy troops have been stockpiled."
"But it's not unbreakable." Zhao Feng stared at the generals and had already made a decision.
"I am willing to follow the general and capture Yanggao City." Li You immediately asked for the order.
This battle is the first battle since the establishment of Wuan Camp, so he naturally has to seize this opportunity to prove himself.
Ever since joining the army, how could Li You not see the dissatisfaction of his generals.
But he also knew that he could only prove it by himself.
"Attack Yanggao City."
"There is no other way."
"The only way is to attack with force."
"Pass on this general's order."
"Tomorrow night, the army will break camp and march south to Wei State." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice and gave the order directly.
"I obey your command." All the generals said in unison.
"alright."
"Generals, go back and prepare." Zhao Feng waved his hand.
"promise."
All the generals retreated.
Zhao Feng's eyes were still on the map.
"Wei Wuji."
"You know that Wei can't possibly stand up to Qin."
"Is this your final desperate struggle?"
Looking at the map and the various secret reports from Wei State obtained through Yan Ting, a smile appeared on Zhao Feng's face.
This is not directed at the enemy, but at the confidant.
Wei Wuji.
Although we are enemies, we can still be close friends.
Although he is old, his ability is unquestionable.
Moreover, his loyalty and patriotism are worthy of his admiration.
only.
Qin conquered the six kingdoms and ruled the world. The general trend remains and this cannot be changed at all.
The Qin State, which destroyed and annexed the two countries of Zhao and Han, could be called the most powerful country in the world. Now, after annexing the two countries, with an increased population of tens of millions, it is conceivable that the national strength will be enhanced.
In this era.
Population is also an integral part of a country's strength.
Population represents the source of military personnel.
"Conquer Yanggao City."
“The border is breakable.”
"Divide our forces into three groups and destroy the State of Wei."
Zhao Feng scanned the map and already had a plan for this battle in his mind.
In the face of such absolute military force and strength.
No worries about logistics and food.
Zhao Feng naturally had no strategy and just attacked with force.
There is almost no strategy to speak of in this plain area. After all, this is not the land of Shu, nor the land of Baiyue, and there are not too many dangerous mountains and rivers.
"Zhang Ming."
Coming back to his senses, Zhao Feng shouted.
"My lord." Zhang Ming immediately walked over quickly.
"Send a hundred personal guards to protect my sister." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Zhang Ming immediately did as he was told.
As the army moved.
Doctors from the wounded soldiers' camp would also move with the troops.
Zhao Feng naturally had to take special care of his sister.
To be honest.
Zhao Feng didn't want his sister to come to the military camp, but she had Zhao Feng's stubborn character and would do what she decided to do.
"Destroy Wei."
"Strive to break through 10,000 in all attributes in this battle."
"But all that's missing is the true energy." Zhao Feng's heart was full of anticipation.
He also longed to rely on war to pick up more attributes and gain a longer life.
As I become stronger, perhaps I can find out why my lifespan is limited to 150 years.
Since he has this ability to pick up attributes, how could Zhao Feng not want to live longer.
and.
He also wants his loved ones to live longer.
Qin capital!
Zhangtai Palace! "Your Majesty."
"The war has begun!"
Wei Liao came to Zhangtai Palace and said only three words.
"The State of Wei will cease to exist within a year."
Ying Zheng raised his head, his tone domineering and majestic.
"I will keep an eye on the war situation. Once there is a battle report from the army, I will report it immediately." Wei Liao said.
"Huang Xie of Chu has made some moves."
"It seems that they are preparing to attack our Great Qin."
"We must be on guard against this matter." Wei Liao added.
"Huang Xie."
"An old fellow who should have been buried in the earth long ago."
"I will take care of it." Ying Zheng smiled faintly, and it was obvious that he had made some arrangements long ago.
No need to explain.
Wei Liao naturally understood instantly.
"Huang Xie."
“He is indeed a remarkable person.”
"It's a long life indeed."
"But there are also many people in Chu who want him dead." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Wei Qing."
"Keep a close eye on the food and supplies."
"Don't let the army run out of food." Ying Zheng reminded again.
"It's a matter of national importance."
"Prime Minister Wang and Lord Feng will not do anything reckless."
"I will also supervise from the side, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Wei Liao replied immediately.
Ying Zheng nodded and looked out of the hall with a dim gaze: "Wei, the last of the Three Jins!"
…
Yanggao City! "Report."
"Your Highness, General Long."
"The Qin Wuan camp in Yunzhong City has arrived at the border of our Great Wei."
"My border guards have been annihilated by the Qin army."
"Report."
"Your Highness, General Long."
"The Qin army has crossed the border, annihilated all the defense posts set up by Wei, and is heading straight for Yanggao City."
"Report."
"Your Highness, General Long."
"The Qin army is only five miles away from our city and has already begun to set up camp."
One by one, the scouts came to the Yanggao City General's Mansion and reported to the General Long Zhang who was guarding the city.
"The secret report said that Qin would mobilize its troops in two months. Now is not the time at all. Qin has a good plan to lead its army for a surprise attack." Long Zhang sneered, with a sense of surprise, but more of mockery.
“No need to panic.”
"Our Yanggao City has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass."
"The Qin army is impossible to break through."
"Again."
"The so-called Wu'an Camp of the Qin Army is just a reorganization of the surrendered soldiers of the Zhao State. They will definitely not serve the Qin State wholeheartedly." Long Zhang said slowly.
"General."
"The Qin Wu'an Camp has three main camps. According to the Qin Army system, each main camp has 100,000 soldiers."
"The Wu'an camp has 300,000 troops. If we attack by force, I'm afraid our Yanggao City will still not be able to withstand it." A Wei general said.
"Your Majesty has already worked out a defensive strategy with me regarding Qin's offensive measures."
"The Qin army is attacking."
"Generals, just urge your troops to defend with all their strength." Long Zhang said very calmly.
"I will obey your orders."
All the Wei generals responded one after another.
"The Qin army has already attacked."
"All the generals, listen to my orders."
"From today on, all generals are not allowed to leave the army they command. Those who leave their posts without permission will be punished by military law."
"From today on, the entire Yanggao City will be blocked off and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Long Zhang ordered loudly.
All the Wei generals bowed and said, "Yes."
As the Wei generals dispersed.
Long Zhang looked at a deputy general beside him and whispered, "Is everything arranged?"
"I have personally led my trusted aides to make arrangements throughout the city."
"If it really comes to that, we will perish together with the Qin army." The deputy general replied in a low voice.
"good."
Long Zhang nodded immediately, a look of determination on his face: "Your Majesty's kindness, the kindness of the Great Wei, my Long family will never repay it, so let me, Long Zhang, use my last bit of strength to protect the Great Wei forever."
Night has fallen.
Outside Yanggao City!
The main tent of the Qin army camp was brightly lit, and all the generals gathered in the tent.
As the supreme general, Zhao Feng occupied a high position.
"Admiral."
"All the elite soldiers have eaten and drunk enough, and are waiting for the battle tomorrow." Zhang Han reported with a fist salute.
Zhao Feng nodded, his expression serious: "I have already told you all when we were in the clouds."
"There are no less than 150,000 Wei troops in Yanggao City, with sufficient food and fodder. They intend to compete with our Great Qin for a long time."
"The only way to break this city is to storm it."
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"I will fight you."
The three commanders said in unison.
"tomorrow."
"Lord Tu Sui's archers are in charge. Shoot 500,000 arrows into the city and suppress the enemy as much as possible."
"Li Youdian, mobilize the elite soldiers of the main camp under your command as the vanguard and follow me in the attack."
"As for the cavalry, go around Yanggao City and block the Wei army's retreat."
Zhao Feng looked at the three generals in front of him and gave direct orders.
Upon hearing that he was responsible for leading the vanguard, Li You became even more excited.
"I obey your orders." The three of them shouted in unison.
"General Li." Zhao Feng's gaze fell on Li You.
"General." Li You looked in awe.
"Always."
"The generals in the army have criticized you for switching from a civilian to a military officer. They think you have done nothing but serve as the commander of a faction."
"And now, I will give you this opportunity to dispatch the main camp as the vanguard."
"I hope you cherish it." Zhao Feng said to Li You.
Li You was shocked and bowed immediately: "I will never let the general down."
"Yeah." Zhao Feng nodded and said no more.
Let Li You lead the main camp and serve as the vanguard.
This can also be considered as a credit given to him by Zhao Feng.
Although he was the supreme general, Zhao Feng still had to follow the customary practice of leading by example and killing the enemies in battle.
With him around, breaking the city is not difficult at all.
This time it is equivalent to giving Li You a reward for his military achievement.
As for whether Li You can handle it, that depends on himself. If he can't even dispatch the troops, then don't blame Zhao Feng for not giving him a chance.
Just at this moment!
Zhang Ming walked quickly into the camp with a secret report in his hand.
He quickly came to Zhao Feng's ear and whispered, "My Lord, this is the news reported by Yan Ting's secret agents hiding in Yanggao City. It is true."
Zhao Feng slowly opened the secret report, his expression changed slightly, but then he calmed down.
"Wei Wuji."
"You really caused great loss to my Great Qin."
"only."
"You overestimate the confidentiality of your subordinates."
"War is not just about fighting. Intelligence is also a key factor."
Zhao Feng smiled secretly in his heart, then closed the secret report without saying a word.
"Generals, go back and prepare."
"Move forward immediately after breakfast tomorrow." Zhao Feng said, glancing at the generals.
"promise."
All the generals responded in unison.
Then they all retreated from the tent.
The next day!
The sun is rising.
After breakfast.
From the Qin camp, the mighty sounds of military trumpets and drums resounded throughout the border of the Wei State.
Countless black-armored Qin troops have already formed their battle array and are marching towards Yanggao City.
Three main camps and three hundred thousand troops.
One hundred thousand cavalry and two hundred thousand infantry.
Seven or eight out of ten of them were former Zhao surrendered soldiers, now wearing Qin's armor, wearing Qin's military uniforms, and holding Qin's weapons.
From the outside, there is no trace of the former Zhao army at all, it is completely the Qin army.
The war begins today.
It was also the first major battle since the establishment of Wuan Camp.
The prisoners were naturally very nervous. Firstly, they were worried about their lives, and secondly, they were worried that the promises made to them by the Qin Dynasty would not count.
The closer you get to the war, the more you hear this kind of sound.
Although Zhao Feng had great trust in the prisoner army he had formed, each military camp was equipped with fifty combat supervisors. Anyone who dared to desert the battlefield would be executed; anyone who dared to mutiny on the battlefield would be executed; anyone who dared to disobey the general's orders would be executed.
Only after experiencing a real bloody battle can the prisoners truly return to their roots. Only when the prisoners see the hope of amnesty can they work wholeheartedly for the Qin Dynasty.
In front of Yanggao City!
The Qin army rushed to gather together, like countless long dragons, covering the sky and the sun. As the Qin army surged in, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a sense of oppression.
"Qin Jun."
"Wu'an Camp."
"Is this really a new camp of the Qin army?"
"It's only been a few months since we founded it, but there's already such a sense of oppression."
"From this point of view, there is no difference between it and other old camps of the Qin army."
When the Wei general on the city wall saw the Qin army's lineup, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Many Wei soldiers on the city walls also looked terrified and anxious.
Although Wei Wuji had prepared for more than a year to deal with the Qin State and recruited many young and strong men from the public, these young and strong men had never seen blood or been on the battlefield after joining the army. Their combat effectiveness was ultimately not comparable to that of the Qin elite soldiers.
And these new recruits are the easiest to disintegrate.
"Qin Jun."
"The Qin army kills without blinking an eye."
"And he is Zhao Feng, the killing god of the Qin army."
"Can we really hold on?"
"How long can we hold out?"
Many Wei soldiers on the city walls were in a state of panic; they were already panicking before the battle even started.
"General."
"Most of the people in the city are new soldiers. They have never been on the battlefield or seen blood."
"Now that the Qin army has arrived, they are so scared. Can we really hold on?" A deputy general looked at the generals guarding the city and said with great concern.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
"For the sake of Wei, we must fight Qin to the death." The Wei general's eyes were full of determination.
So much preparation.
Wei Wuji naturally spent a lot of effort on commanding generals. Maybe his ability to command troops was not good, but he was definitely loyal to the State of Wei. This was his final choice.
Time passes by.
Before the Qin army attacked, the entire Yanggao City was shrouded in an extremely terrifying depression.
More than five hundred catapults stood in front of the city.
More than five hundred crossbows are adjacent to each other.
All of them were aimed at Yanggao City.
And then.
Tens of thousands of Qin army archers lined up and marched ahead.
Cutting edge.
As the general, Zhao Feng stood on a chariot and looked at Yanggao City coldly.
"Where are the Great Qin warriors?"
Zhao Feng drew out the Longquan sword from his waist and shouted in a powerful voice.
