Chapter 345 The Battle of Changping

The Qin and Zhao coalition was blocked west of Changping by Lian Po. In order to alleviate the pressure of the Qin and Zhao coalition, Lian Po followed the order of Zhao Xing and retreated to Taihang's eldest son again. With the dangerous terrain, the Qin and Zhao coalition forces were blocked tightly in the Changping area, and the three sides formed a confrontation.

Faced with the obstruction of the Tang army, the first heavy snowfall in the cold winter came, and the war between the Three Kingdoms temporarily subsided.

The Tang Dynasty no longer attacked Zhao State, and also allowed Zhao State to do its best to manage the Shangdang region.

Zhao Bao, the new commander of the Zhao army, made a request to Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, requiring the withdrawal of Shangdang.

The King of Qin and Bai Qi were both talented and stubborn. Of course, they knew that Shangdang was the northern hub. If they wanted to occupy it, they didn’t know how much blood they had to pay. Now that they occupied it, how could they give up easily?

Of course, Bai Qi firmly refused this request - kill the donkey without a grinding? Don't even think about it.

Zhao Bao also knew that the Qin army could never give up on Shangdang easily, but he had full confidence to let the Qin army get out.

While the envoys were negotiating, Zhao Bao began to mobilize the 250,000 troops in his hands, and began to prepare for an attack on the Qin army.

In Zhao Bao's view, his 250,000 army was three times their number against the 70,000 Qin army, and he was sure to win.

Bai Qi had already grasped the movements of the Zhao army. Bai Qi just smiled slightly at the aggressive Zhao army: "It's great to give away military merits. It's just a pity that I destroyed the 250,000 Zhao army, but now it's just a cheaper Tang Dynasty. Zhao Xing, you should thank me."

Faced with the situation of the Qin and Zhao families, Zhao Xing was preparing to relieve them of pressure. So, facing the Zhao army opposite, Zhao Xing reduced his troops again and acted as if I didn't plan to fight again, so that Zhao He and Li Dui could rest assured and let go of their hands and feet.

Sure enough, when Li Dui saw that Zhao Xing stopped acting, he immediately ordered Zhao Bao to take action. Before the beginning of spring, he must deal with the Qin army of Shangdang and prepare for the attack on the Tang army after the beginning of spring.

Zhao Bao's mind was to delay for two or three months to consume the Qin army's logistics supplies, and the Qin army cut off food and grass due to heavy snow in winter? At that time, the victory and defeat were determined in a battle.

Unfortunately? Zhao Bao's plan was soon lost. In fact, Zhao Bao was ready to first defeat the Qin army by waiting for work? Then wait for a favorable opportunity to attack. However, he did not expect that Qin State summoned millions of young and strong men to clear the channels so that Qin State could transport grain directly from water, and its grain transport was even faster and smoother than Zhao State.

On the contrary, Zhao State, due to fierce battles with the Tang Dynasty, it had consumed all its storage. Shortly after the war started, there was a shortage of food and grass, and Zhao Bao delayed it for two months. At the same time, Zhao State was in a situation where there was no food to eat. At the same time, the Zhao army, which was originally good at field battles, was used to confront each other, allowing the Qin army to successfully encircle the rear of Zhao State? Continuously harassing Zhao State's food routes, made Zhao State even worse? At the same time, due to Zhao State's diplomatic failure (Wei, Han, and Chu are all afraid of Qin? Qi hates Zhao that he has participated in the attack on Qi? Yan State has a good relationship with Qin), Zhao State has fallen into a Jedi with no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside.

Li Dui exhausted all the methods later, but he could not supply the consumption of the army ahead, so he could only constantly urge Zhao Bao to use troops as soon as possible. However, Zhao Bao firmly firmly determined his strategic thinking. His goal was to fight against the Qin army, and then defeat the Qin army with all its strength in the spring.

On this day, Zhao Bao was carrying a bowl of porridge, and it seemed that he had to write a letter to him.

The letter said that this time, Li Dui devoted all his methods and finally raised half a month of grain for Zhao Bao's front army, but it was the last grain. If you want it, there will be no more.

Faced with Li Dui's firm attitude, Zhao Bao complained angrily: "What's the use of half a month of food? In this winter, how can we start a war within half a month? No, we immediately write to help. We must raise another month of food. As long as there is another month, we can persevere until the beginning of spring. At that time, we can attack Qin."

As a result, his subordinates were drafting a document, and there was a shrill report outside the account: "Report - the general is not good."

With the shouting, a bloody man staggered in and saw Zhao Bao, and he fell to the ground: "The general is not good. The food transported to our army in Handan was intercepted by the Qin army. General, our retreat was intercepted by the Qin army.

When Zhao Bao heard this, the bowl of porridge in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He stood there blankly, his head full of food and grass.

Just when he was in a daze, another soldier rushed in and shouted: "General, enemy, enemy is rushing in."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bao rushed out directly. Standing on the high ground, he saw a black torrent rushing into his military camp. When his Zhao army faced such a torrent, it was like ice and snow meeting the sunshine, and had no ability to block it at all. In a blink of an eye, his camp was broken by the enemy, and then occupied a ridge in the middle of the Baili Joint Camp and guarded tenaciously. The Zhao army's joint camp was isolated in two halves.

Zhao Bao organized an army at that time and attacked the nail in the middle of the joint camp. As a result, Bai Qi repeatedly attacked the Zhao army in a team of 5,000 people, so that the Zhao army could not take care of each other, and the war was difficult to solve.

At this time, King Zhao of Qin learned that the main grain pipeline of Zhao's army had been cut off, so he personally went to Hanoi County and granted the title of local people a higher level. He also recruited young and middle-aged people over 15 years old across the country to concentrate on the Changping battlefield to intercept the reinforcements and grain transportation of Zhao.

Half a month later, the Zhao army completely ran out of food and the Zhao army began to eat each other.

Zhao Bao was beaten back several times when he organized a breakthrough. In the end, Zhao Bao was killed in battle, and the remaining 150,000 Zhao troops surrendered to Bai Qi.

The Battle of Changping ended with Bai Qi's complete victory.

But at this time, the entire Qin State was almost exhausted. It was already spring, and the King of Qin disbanded the people who were urgently recruited and went home to farm. On the battlefield, only the 50,000 people lost to Bai Qi in several battles were left.

Facing a prisoner who is three times more than himself, Bai Qi was the first to face the problem of their food.

For the sake of Shangdang, his Qin State had almost consumed all the food reserves, and the Tang Dynasty would never give up Shangdang. Lian Po squatted at the door of Shangdang, watching the war with Zhao State. The war had just begun, and the real contest had just begun. Then, food was needed even more. Where could there be food for them?

Once these prisoners are hungry, they will inevitably rebel to the death. According to Zhou Li, they will release them? Is it because they are seeking death by themselves?

If these prisoners go back, they will strengthen their enemies for themselves.

So, under the excuse of waiting for food and grass for three days as a pacification, the Zhao army was hungry for three days, and then suddenly the entire army advanced and massacred the hungry Zhao army prisoners who could not even lift their fingers. One day later, all 150,000 Zhao army prisoners were killed and then buried in the battlefield in Changping.

The news of the last elite of Changping's destruction of 250,000 Zhao State was sent back to Zhao State, and Zhao State was crying and crying.
