315 Prepare to Counterattack
"No one is allowed to retreat, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
Delicate beads of sweat were gradually covering Pang Nuan's forehead. Chengzhou City, which obviously had few people without a single bullet, had a lot of people coming out of nowhere after the full attack began. The gunshots that had been stopped for several days also rang again. It was not dense, but it had a great impact on the morale of the Zhao army soldiers.
"General! General! Not good!"
"explain!"
"To the east! A large number of Qin troops appeared in the east, with at least tens of thousands of soldiers!"
"Don't panic, continue to inquire."
Tens of thousands of Qin troops sounded scary, but it was not worth worrying about Pang Nuan. He had a total of 270,000 troops in his hands, and calmly arranged 30,000 troops to intercept them.
"Strange, how could there be more than ten thousand Qin soldiers in the east?"
After adjusting the deployment, Pang Nuan began to talk to herself. Although these Qin soldiers did not pose a threat to themselves, the place where they appeared was really strange.
Chengzhou is the hinterland of Qin, and you can go east to the border of Qin and Qi. It has been so long since Qin and Chu started the war. There should definitely be no Qin soldiers on the east side, and there is such a large number of Qin troops.
"General, is it possible that there is a Qin soldier who retreated from Xinzheng?"
"From Xinzheng?"
After hearing the views given by the deputy general, Pang Nuan thought about it and seemed that only this explanation could make sense. If the Qin army retreated from Xinzheng, wouldn’t it mean that the Chu army had made a full breakthrough and it was just around the corner to meet with the Chu army?
"Hurry up, seize the time to attack the city, and be sure to win Cheng Zhou today!"
The more I thought about it, the more I felt happy. Once Zhao Chu met, it meant that the entire line of Yingchuan County of Qin was penetrated. Next, it was to completely clear all the Qin troops outside Hangu Pass like a clear wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Then, cooperate with the Wei army to clear the north, Qin would be driven back to Hangu Pass again.
However, Pang Nuan's joy lasted for less than an hour.
"Report! Qin army! Qin army is coming!"
"What's going on? Haven't I sent someone to stop me?"
"Yes... it's Li Ling! At least 30,000 Qin troops have broken through our flanks and cannot be stopped at all."
“Where have you been!”
"It's less than twenty miles away from Cheng Circle!"
"Waste, just 30,000 Qin troops can't stop them."
He was cursing, but Pang Nuan did not underestimate the 30,000 Qin troops in his heart.
Li Ling's appearance confirmed his previous guess, and these Qin troops must have retreated from Xinzheng.
Pang Nuan was very clear about the reputation of the Qin Taifu, and it was obvious that Li Ling planned to forcibly attack the Zhao army, either to rush into Chengzhou to take refuge or to directly break through his troops and flee back to Hangu Pass. The Qin army was obviously out of power.
"No matter what happens, you must hit Cheng Zhou before sunset today, hear no!"
"promise!"
After looking at the situation on the battlefield, although Cheng Zhou's counterattack was more fierce than before, it was still the case. Pang Nuan decided to hand over all the command power here to the deputy general, and he himself led a 100,000 army to intercept Li Ling.
Li Ling cannot be let into Chengzhou, but if Li Ling can be blocked or even captured Li Ling alive, there will be a good show. Li Ling's identity is so special, so what else can Qin resist?
The 100,000 Zhao army siege reserve team led by Pang Nuan immediately rushed to the east, with only one target, Li Ling!
As soon as Zhao Jun was moved, he was noticed by Baili Meng, but he was not in a hurry and he had to wait.
It is unclear why Zhao's army was suddenly mobilized, but it is almost a month since Li Ling requested. Baili Meng probably had something to happen in the east of Chengzhou. Maybe reinforcements have arrived, or Qi sent troops to rescue.
No matter what the reason is, Baili Meng knew that she had been pretending to be a grandson for so long, and it was time to be proud.
"How are the artillery prepared?"
"The artillery position was prepared a few days ago. Just wait for the commander, you can open fire at any time."
"Very good, go and inform them, and once I fire the flare, fire immediately!"
Hiding in the cover of the city wall, Baili Meng was ready to fight. Since he destroyed the Huns and returned to Qin for large-scale military reform, he transferred from the 38th Army to the 54th Army and exchanged with Meng Tian. According to Li Ling, Baili Menglai's main task is to form artillery for the 54th Army, and at the same time implement some of his tactics and tactics that he thought of against automatic rifles to the 54th Army. Now, his artillery, his 54th Army artillery unit, is finally about to show his strength.
"Send the order, the Second and Third Divisions are ready to go out of the city to counterattack at any time!"
Baili Meng was thinking about the time, and he wanted to ensure that once the counterattack began in full, the 100,000 Zhao troops who had just left would not come back immediately.
When an army faces 140,000 Zhao troops, it seems that it is absolutely necessary to hit the stone with eggs, but the army in Baili Meng's hands is equipped with all the members of the Bayi Bar. Although they have been in Chengzhou City for so long, they consume very little ammunition, and he has sufficient ammunition to squander himself.
Half an hour later, just as Baili Meng was still struggling to start a counterattack now, the rear of the Zhao army suddenly became a little panicked. The wave of siege troops that Zhao army had just retreated, which was supposed to be resting, began to gather again!
"Captain, are they going to run away?"
"No, I probably want to run away. If I didn't see the siege, would I continue!"
"But the people behind them don't seem to continue siegeing the city? Unless..."
"Unless they have trouble behind their butts! Haha!"
Laughing loudly, then suddenly got up, came out of the cover, took out the signal gun, and loaded the signal flare!
Whoosh~~~
A red signal flare dragged a loud whistle and rushed into the sky.
"Open fire!"
......
"General, it's not good, the ferry! The ferry was attacked! Our food and grass were attacked!"
The deputy general who was calmly commanding the siege was panicked after hearing the report from his subordinates. Pang Yan took away 100,000 troops. Now the ferry was attacked again, and he had already smelled the scent of conspiracy.
"How many Qin soldiers are there?"
“Very many!”
"Hurry, send someone to report to the general immediately that the ferry was raided by the Qin army! One hundred thousand Qin troops said that 100,000 Qin troops raided the ferry!"
The deputy general didn't know the specific number of Qin troops, but he directly raised one hundred thousand. In this way, even if he was defeated, Pang Yan would not blame him. Maybe Pang Yan would come back to rescue him after hearing this.
When the sender left, the deputy general immediately began to prepare for reinforcements to the ferry. He seemed to have a total of 140,000 troops in his hand, but it was divided into two waves to attack the city, and the siege could not be delayed, so in fact, there were not many troops who could bring out reinforcements to the ferry.
Send 30,000 people to rescue him, which was the decision he made after weighing the trade-offs.
