Chapter 20 Counterattack (1)

(Today is Qingming Festival, I deeply mourn the martyrs who died and their fellow countrymen who died in the fight against the disease.)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The news of the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements has been known by Wang Yan, the commander of the Qin army.

In the Gaoping Pass occupied by the Qin army, the commander Wang Yi also summoned the Qin army generals and held a military meeting in response to the arrival of Zhao army reinforcements.

In the room where the Qin army held a military meeting, Wang Ying looked at the Shangdang map hanging on the wall. The map clearly marked the current combat situation of the Qin and Zhao armies in the Shangdang area.

Although the Qin army had already broken through the Kongcangling defense line, as the Zhao army retreated to the second line of defense - the Danshui River defense line, and with the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements, the Qin army's early advantage was no longer there.

Seeing this, Wang Ling, the deputy general under the hall, knew that the head coach Wang Yi was worried, so he stepped forward and said to Wang He: "General, the Danshui River defense line of the Zhao army is more difficult to conquer than the Kongcangling defense line. Now with the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements, it is even more difficult to conquer the defense line of Guanglang City and Jiebeiling."

"General, we have to find a way now to let the Zhao army come out from Guanglang City and Danshui River defense lines to fight our army. Otherwise, our Qin army will have no choice but to the Danshui River defense line!"

After hearing Wang Ling's words, the Qin generals and other Qin army generals nodded one after another.

Before the Zhao army's reinforcements arrived, Lian Po led less than 200,000 Zhao army, relying on Danshui River to resist the Qin army on the front line of Guanglang City and Jiebeiling, which made the Qin army anxious and difficult to set off. Now the Zhao army's reinforcements have arrived, and their troops are on par with the Qin army. The Qin army's previous tactics are relatively unsuitable.

After hearing the words of the deputy general Wang Ling, Wang turned around and said to Wang Ling and the generals: "Generals, our army has been fighting with Lian Po for three years in Shangdang. If there is no external force, Lian Po will not come out. I just hope that with the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements this time, it will bring Lian Po's courage, allowing the Zhao army to rush out of Guanglang City and Danshui River defense line and come to compete for Gaoping Pass."

Wang Yan turned around, pointed to the map, and continued to say to Wang Ling and the generals: "Generals, if the Zhao army rushed out of Guanglang City and Danshui River defense lines, it would be the best opportunity for our army to annihilate the Zhao army. After a little resistance, our army can give up the occupied two cities and barriers from the east and west. Lead the Zhao army to attack Gaoping Pass."

Speaking of this, Wang Yan turned around and looked at the generals of the Qin army and ordered: "Dear generals, if the Zhao army rushed out of Guanglang City and wanted to fight our Qin army to decisively, our army will follow the following plan. General Wang Jian, you can temporarily postpone the attack on the Zhao army's defense line at the southern end of the Bible Monument; two generals Wang Ben and Wang Xian, you two lead our army to retreat step by step while resisting the Zhao army."

Then he turned around and clicked on the Yuxi River Valley under Gaoping Pass on the map. He said to Wang Ben and Wang Fan, "You two have a great responsibility. While resisting the Zhao army, you must also be responsible for gradually leading the Zhao army to the Yuxi River Valley under Gaoping Pass, and our Qin army ambushed in advance."

Wang Ben and Wang Fan hurriedly stood up and said to Wang Feng: "I will never let down the general's entrustedness."

Wang He nodded and said to other Qin generals: "According to the terrain of Shangdang, once the Zhao army enters the Yuxi River Valley, General Wang Ling, you will lead the army from the right to the north, and General Meng Ao will lead the army from the left to the north to the south, cutting off the retreat of the Zhao army. Wang Ben and Wang Xian, two generals, you will then lead the army to counterattack, and be sure to annihilate the Zhao army in the Yuxi River Valley."

Speaking of this, Wang Feng sighed and said to the generals of the Qin army: "I hope that after the arrival of the Zhao army reinforcements, the old man Lian Po will not come out to fight our army as if he was like a turtle in the past. To tell the truth, I am really afraid of the "turtle tactic" of Lian Po's!"

After hearing the words of the head coach Wang Yi, the Qin generals burst into laughter and felt the same feeling.

Wang He also smiled and said to the generals: "Generals, after you go down, you can deploy our army as soon as possible as planned. We will wait for the arrival of Zhao's army in the Yuxi Valley under Gaoping Pass! I hope that this time, Old Man Lian Po can lead his army to attack and do not disappoint us."

The deputy general of the Qin army, Wang Ling and the generals stood up and bowed to Wang He and said, "No."

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the Zhao army of Shangdang, after the end of the Xuan clan military meeting, at Lian Po's request, Zhao had already entered the area of ​​Guanglang City and Jiebeiling in advance, and was ready to counterattack the Qin army.

In the early morning, the sky was just shining slightly.

Standing on the west wall of Guanglang City, Lian Po looked into the direction of Kongcangling in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Lian Po turned around and looked at Zhao Jia, Wang Rong, Fu Bao, Su She and many other generals who were preparing to lead troops to counterattack the Qin army and came to say goodbye to him, as well as Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County.

Lian Po looked at the deputy general Zhao Jia and said, "General Zhao, the commander of the Qin army, Wang Feng, is full of tricks. This time, you are the chief general of the middle line of the army. When facing the Qin army, you should fight steadily and be careful in everything."

Zhao Jia clasped his fists and bowed to Lian Po and said, "Please don't worry, the old general."

Lian Po nodded and instructed the other generals: "Generals, this time our army will counterattack the Qin army, headed by General Zhao Jia. You must pay attention to the response of General Zhao Jia. If the progress goes well, my subsequent army should cooperate with General Zhao Jia and attack the Qin army without hesitation, and regain the defense line of Gaoping Pass and Kongcangling."

After pausing, he then instructed everyone: "If General Zhao Jia can occupy the two obstacles in the east and west and attack Gaoping Pass, the left and right armies led by Wang Rong and Su She must defend the east and west obstacles to prevent the Qin army from seizing them. As for General Box, while you are defending Guanglang City, you must pay attention to the three generals including Zhao Jia, and do not be careless."

Then he frowned and continued to say to the generals: "If it really happens, Wang Rong, Fu Bao, Su She and you must stick to the retreat and be sure to respond to General Zhao Jia's main force retreat. Huayang Jun, you lead your army to stand on the front line of the Bible Monu Ridge. Without my order, you are not allowed to attack at will."

"No." The generals replied in unison.

After saying goodbye to the Zhao army commander Lian Po, deputy general Zhao Jia led an army of 100,000 to break out of Guanglang City, and then launched a counterattack against the Qin army. Wang Rong and Su She each led an army of 50,000, divided into two left and right directions, forming a "Pin" shape with Zhao Jia's army, advancing in unison, and attacking the Qin army.

The bao led a 50,000 army to guard Guanglang City, ready to respond to the front army at any time; Feng Ting, the magistrate of Shangdang County, led a 50,000 army to defend the defense line of the Bianbeiling to prevent the Qin army from invading.

After the head commander of the Qin army, Wang Ying, learned of the news of the Zhao army's attack, laughed and said to the deputy general Wang Ling and the generals: "Generals, proceed as planned! Our army resisted a little, abandoned the occupied eastern barriers and western barriers, and led the Zhao army to Yuxi Valley under Gaoping Pass. Be careful not to let the Zhao army see the flaws."

The generals of the Qin army all looked excited and said in unison: "No."

Zhao Jia, deputy general of the Zhao army, rushed out of Guanglang City with his army. When he first fought with the Qin army led by Wang Ben and Wang Fan, he was still very cautious and took action step by step.

With the cooperation of the left and right Zhao troops led by Wang Rong and Su She, after a hard battle, Zhao Jia led the middle army and finally defeated the Qin army besieging Guanglang City, Qin generals Wang Ben and Wang Fan, who led the Qin army to retreat.

Then Zhao Jia led the Zhao army to slowly advance to Dongzha City occupied by the Qin army. After arriving at Dongzha City, he did not attack immediately, but ordered camping.
