Chapter 341
Lian Po was very calm, which was due to his character, but being too calm became a military disadvantage.
The military newspaper in front said that the coalition forces of the Qin army and the Zhao army were just the vanguard who had arrived a hundred miles away, and the large army was probably still 200 miles later. At the same time, he had sent veteran Jia to lead 500 soldiers forward. He did not expect Jia Jia to succeed in the first battle, but was just sent as the frontier of the army to guard the army.
With these 500 soldiers fully alert, they can camp here with peace of mind.
The soldiers rushed over and although they successfully accepted half of Shangdang's regional cities, after all, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, the roads were rugged, and they quickly accepted them. They competed for time with the Qin and Zhao coalition forces, which also made their army exhausted.
A war that was about to break out began. He brought a group of tired troops, and there was absolutely no chance of winning against the enemy due to the disadvantages in terms of numbers. So Lian Po decided to set up his own camp in this place suitable for camping, then repair his team and accumulate strength. In this way, the situation would reverse. He raised his energy and the enemy was tired, and he fought a battle, and the winner would be 55 points.
In fact, as a commander, if you have a chance of winning by 55 in your heart, this battle will be destined to end with your own victory.
Walking on the camp, Lian Po admired his brother's ability. The military shovel he invented was sharp and has many uses. With a shovel, it can solve almost all problems with excavation, chopping, etc., so that soldiers can quickly build a strong camp while saving effort. The iron nails invented by his brother replaced mortise and tenon. The construction of the camp fence no longer requires many carpenters. It can be completed by soldiers alone. This not only greatly reduces the number of military and civilians? It reduces the drag? It also speeds up the construction of the camp.
Observe and inspect along the way, urging the soldiers to speed up: "Before dark, we must complete the construction of the camp? Then let us rest for a night of peace? Prepare to welcome the enemy's attack." Lian Po loudly encouraged the soldiers, and of course he also received the promises and cheers from the soldiers.
While Lian Po was inspecting the camp, he didn't stop for a night and ran over from a distance on a war horse. Before he could run to Lian Po, he shouted loudly to him: "General General is not good, the Qin people are attacking."
Hearing this news, Lian Po felt that his ears were not growing right, as if he had heard it wrong? So he reached out and held Ye Bushang, who was flying down: "Aren't General Tang Jia and his 500 soldiers ahead? Why did the enemy suddenly rush over?"
Ye Bushang replied breathlessly: "General Tang Jia was ambushed, and all five hundred soldiers and the old generals were killed in battle. The Qin army and Qin army have already rushed across the ancient road and are here to kill."
Lian Po didn't believe it and wanted to make sure it was confirmed again? But the shouts of killing in the south, the black sea of people? Plus the red cherry blossoms of Zhao people had already flowed over like a flood.
Calm, even calmer, even if he was already burning, he had to jump up. Seeing Ruhai's enemy rushing to the soldiers who were scattered and building the barracks, Lian Po immediately shouted? Ordered the troops nearby to assemble? Then he ordered them to pounce on the enemy without hesitation. Use these few soldiers to stop the enemy's attack. Then he immediately summoned the somewhat panicked soldiers around him, organized a group, and sent them to another group. Although there was no way to add fuel to the tactics, there was no way.
The group that rushed up was flooded by the enemy's army in a blink of an eye, but the second group was organized and could not enter. They didn't have time to pick up their weapons and put on armor, so they waved their weapons and shovels to face the enemy. But in a blink of an eye, they were flooded by the enemy again.
Fortunately, the first two batches of soldiers still blocked the enemy's attack, and more soldiers organized, and the people behind had already started to wear armor and pick up weapons.
After one hundred people after another, a ten thousand team was finally formed. Lian Po said coldly to the ten thousand team: "Immediately block your ten thousand team at this mountain pass. The army behind did not retreat ten miles away. You must not throw this mountain away. Even if you pile your body into a city wall, you must hold it back.
Then he turned around and ordered loudly to the remaining soldiers: "Discard all your materials that affect your running, retreat to Duwei City, and the first person to run to Duwei City will be the first to achieve his goal."
Such a strange order not only changed the nature of a defeat, but also invisibly increased morale. The 35,000 Tang troops ran towards the Duwei City with a storm of overwhelming momentum.
Duwei City was a city of Shangdang that Lian Po had just occupied. Lian Po needed to rely on this city to stabilize his position and gain a foothold.
Lian Po took the lead and used his bravery to charge into battle, but he fled to the Duwei City.
There were only 500 defenders in Duwei City, and they were still Korean soldiers. When they saw Lian Po running all the way, they were shocked and quickly asked about Lian Po's condition. Lian Po ordered panting and decisively: "You go to the city immediately and defend it firmly."
When the last Tang army soldier in the out-gu camp fell, Bai Qi finally felt a sweat. Zhao Sheng, the commander of Zhao State, had to admire the young general: "First use a small number of soldiers to lure the enemy's front army, completely annihilate them, isolate the news, and then cover up the killing all the way. Sure enough, defeat the Tang army, the young general is really a god."
After being praised by the famous Pingyuan Jun, Bai Qi did not show a smug look on his face, but anxiously asked the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield: "How many enemies have we wiped out in this battle?"
The general reported excitedly: "According to a rough estimate, we seized no less than 30,000 pairs of armor, swords and guns from the enemy, as well as enough food for us to eat for half a month."
Bai Qi shouted impatiently: "I don't care about the captures. I'm asking you how many enemies we killed?"
The general was so scared that he shrank his neck. The name of Bai Qiren's slaughter had long been spread throughout the world. This guy deserves his reputation when he killed people. He killed his enemies with harsh hands and was never vague. He immediately reported: "It is roughly estimated that he killed the enemy and captured four enemy commanders, namely the commanders of the Tang army. Unfortunately, they were all captured with great injuries. What should the general do if he dealt with it?"
Bai Qi did not listen to him and issued a loud order to Quan Lingbing: "Gather all the soldiers and don't be greedy for those captured, we will continue to pursue the enemy immediately." Then he added: "First go to the Duwei City to record two ranks, and the last hundred people will be rectified on the spot."
After the order was issued, Bai Qi asked Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng: "Do you continue to pursue the enemy with me?"
Pingyuan Jun said without hesitation: "Watch with your head and don't let the enemy gain a foothold. You are so smart, we--" Bai Qi didn't listen to his nonsense, and had already led his army to run far away.
