326 The First Battle
"Boss, how long will we stay here?"
In the quiet night, besides the buzzing of mosquitoes, only Baili Meng asked softly.
The Wei army had been completely defeated. According to Li Ling's instructions, after driving the Wei army out of the Qin border, Baili Meng did not pursue it, but directly entered Yecheng with great fanfare.
But after entering Yecheng, Baili Meng left only one battalion in Yecheng as a cover. The rest of the troops quietly left the city in batches and soon joined Li Ling's troops.
Their current location is in a dense forest on the Qin and Zhao border. Such a large number of Qin troops have been hiding here for ten days, but Li Ling has not taken any action.
"Don't worry, I have to wait. I have to wait for news from Meng Yi."
Once again, due to the backwardness of communication methods, Li Ling was anxious but destined to be unable to make changes. It could not be solved by his cleverness or scientific knowledge. He is a soldier, so he can't make radio stations, telephones, and he doesn't even have the ability to do the most basic generators.
"Why!"
Baili Meng heard Li Ling say she had to wait, and she felt a hundred unhappy, but he knew that he had to obey the order.
The Qin army piled up in this dense forest now has 90,000 troops. The State of Zhao has long been empty. These 90,000 troops can easily flatten Zhao, but they just don't let the attack. Baili Meng is really worried.
The boring waiting was so hard that I could not even eat a bite of hot rice. In order to be absolutely hidden, Li Ling did not allow the fire to cook. In this case, the soldiers relied on dry food to fill their stomachs. Some steamed buns were even hard as stones, and the pot-kick was completely unable to swallow them. They could easily smash people's heads. There was no way, so they could only soak them in cold water and eat them. Some of them could not even soak them, so they could only soak them a little softer and then grind off some of the crushed pieces like grinding teeth.
After waiting for two more days, Li Ling finally waited for the news he wanted. The Qin Chu war officially ended, and Wang Jian also came with the news.
"Send the order to make a fire and cook!"
As soon as the news arrived, Li Ling did not order an attack immediately, but instead issued an order to make a fire and cook.
It was too difficult to hide for nearly half a month. The soldiers were in poor health. Li Ling even suffered from severe constipation. Of course, it was not just Li Ling, but there were many people in the army.
Now the overall situation is settled, and at that moment, he has to adjust the physical condition of the soldiers first.
When the soldiers heard the fire to cook, they all looked at Li Ling, looking expectant but a little unbelievable.
"Cheer if you want to cheer. From today on, we don't need to hide!"
With Li Ling's words, the mountains and fields were filled with joy and a huge momentum.
The Qin army here was quite excited, but at the border town of Zhao State at the foot of the mountain, the guards of the border town were pale.
The entire hill was smoking, and it was obviously smoke from cooking. Even a fool knew that there must be a large army stationed there.
The guards only had five thousand soldiers, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. He was worried all day long, but now there are so many Qin troops suddenly appearing. How could he have a little so-called calmness?
"Boss, boss, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?"
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Li Ling looked at the sentry running to him, looking puzzled.
Zhao State had been beaten up by himself long ago. What would happen at this time?
Could it be that Zhao State can still generate hundreds of thousands of troops overnight?
"Run! Run! All ran!"
"Tell me! What the hell is going on! Who ran away! Which unit belongs!"
With a bang, Wang Jian stood up directly and heard the sentry saying he ran away. Wang Jian was even more anxious than Li Ling.
After he arrived, he asked about the situation here and looked around. He found that the troops were in very bad condition. Seeing the sentry coming to report and said he had run away, Wang Jian almost subconsciously thought that there were deserters in the Qin army.
"Zhao Jun ran away! They abandoned the city and ran away!"
"ah?"
"Bastard! Let me make it clear in the future! Haven't your squad leader taught you?"
When Li Ling heard that Zhao Jun had abandoned the city and fled, he was stunned. Wang Jian started to curse directly. He had really scared him before, but he didn't expect that the result would be like this.
"Don't worry when you go back to have a meal. In addition, you notify the troops and immediately go down the mountain and enter that small town after dinner!"
Okay, it doesn’t take a single soldier or a single gun or a single bullet. Just a meal, Zhao Jun actually ran away. Is there such a good thing in the world?
Having a quiet meal and then entering the city in a mighty way, Li Ling never thought that the first battle to officially attack Zhao State would have started like this.
......
"Captain, the Chu army has come over, it seems to be a general, and he wants to see you."
"I understand. You should be alert and never be careless. Be careful of their fraud."
After hearing the reports from his soldiers, Meng Tian tidi packed up his clothes and got up and went down the mountain. He wanted to see what the Chu people sold.
"Are you a general of the Qin army?"
"It's me, my name is Meng Tian, who are you?"
"I am Xiang Liang!"
The two were several meters apart, and there was a team of people behind each other to be on guard. This was the first time the coaches of both sides met. Obviously, neither of them expected that the opponent was the other, one was Meng Wu's son and the other was Xiang Yan's son. They were all famous families in their respective countries and were both outstanding among young generals.
"I wonder what the major general is saying about this time?"
"If I knew it was you who led the army, I would never come today!"
After Xiang Liang knew that it was Meng Tian, his face was full of regret. He had already found out that this was the 38th Army of Qin and the commander of Baili Meng, so he would come to inform him in person after receiving the order to stop the war between the two countries.
But I didn’t expect that the leader was not Baili Meng, but Meng Tian!
If he had known that it was Meng Tian, he would never have come here in person. He would even plan to directly order the army to attack and find a way to kill Meng Tian, because Meng Tian's identity is quite special, and the person who led the peace talks in Qin State was Meng Yi!
If it weren't for this peace talks, his father wouldn't have been removed from office, and the State of Chu wouldn't have handed back all the cities that had been captured to Qin!
"Why are you going to let me go?"
Seeing Xiang Liang's reaction, Meng Tian immediately realized that there was no trap. It must be that Qin and Chu had already ceased to fight. His purpose of rushing around in the heart of Chu State has achieved.
"My king has a life, and I will escort you out of my Chu territory!"
He always gritted his teeth when speaking, and you can imagine how Xiang Liang was feeling at the moment.
"Oh, then the relationship is good. I'll just be in charge of the army now. General Xiang, please?"
