Chapter 264 Bai Qi warns, Lian Po strikes(2/2)

Lian Po has indeed arrived.

About forty or fifty miles west of the battlefield between the two sides, there is a small city called Zhongmu City (not Zhongmu, Zhao State).

Although Zhongmu City is a small city, its geographical location is very important. From the east of this small city, it only takes two hours for the cavalry to see the back of the Qin army's camp. About ten miles west is Putianze, which is famous for its numerous swamps and lakes. Putianze further west is the East Great Wall of Korea.

It is precisely because of the importance of this small town that Wei Ran specially arranged a 15,000 troops here, and was stationed by a general named Si Li. Although most of these troops came from Hedong County, the fact that the Qin State had just conquered him was still enough to show that Wei Ran attached great importance to this place.

At this moment, Lian Po was looking at the Zhongmu City.

Behind Lian Po were 15,000 Zhao cavalry.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated.

However, due to the extremely backward reconnaissance methods in this era, it is extremely difficult to completely find out the opponent's military configuration.

Therefore, Wei Ran and Bai Qi, the two highest generals of the Qin army, did not know that Zhao He brought this westward to Daliang City, not just 10,000 cavalry, but most of the elite troops of the famous border cavalry army in the six northern counties of Zhao State. In addition, the Longxiang Army, a total of 25,000 cavalrymen!

Lian Po pulled the reins and stayed on the north shore of the canal.

At this moment, Zhongmu City on the south bank had obviously noticed the existence of this Zhao cavalry army. The warning smoke on the top of the city was vertically facing the sky and could be seen more than ten miles away.

Lian Po looked at the smoke and laughed a few times: "Show warning? What's the use of warning? A bunch of idiots! Hello, guide, is this place?"

The last half of the sentence was said to a Wei State guide beside him.

The Wei State guide looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed to a small beach on the other side and said, "Please look at it, General, this is the ferry of five miles outside Zhongmu City. Those small wharfs supported by wooden boards are the places where we usually cross the river. We usually call this place..."

Lian Po interrupted the guide impatiently: "The king said, this ferry is called Guandu!"

The guide hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's Guandu. General, this section of Guandu is a little east... It's there, General, please see, the water is the shallowest in the area twenty or thirty feet in front and behind. Now it's the low water level, so you can let the cavalry cross the river."

Lian Po glared at the guide: "Are you sure? If you miss the military plane, I will go back and tell the King of Wei that you will kill the entire clan!"

The guide was frightened by Lian Po's words, but he said with great certainty: "It's definitely this place. This place is where our ancestors live for generations. If the years are not good, they will come here to catch fish, which is absolutely impossible!"
