In addition, Wang Jian, the general, had absolutely miscommand his command. Why didn't Wang Jian personally lead the army to block the Chu army on the north bank of Honggou, and why did he order Wang Ben to lead the army? Why did the 250,000 Qin troops instead of all Qin troops to fight against the Chu army?

With many doubts, the generals almost suspected that Wang Jian had received huge gold from the Chu people, so they made such an inappropriate arrangement. The only thing that made people not sure about this idea was that Wang Ben died in battle. If the 250,000 Qin troops on the north bank of the Honggou were deliberately defeated by the Chu army, Wang Ben would not have died in battle. Of course, perhaps this is also the reason why Wang Ben died in battle was mentioned in the newspaper.

Unlike the Chu army, the Qin army also had heavy defenses inside, which were extremely tight. Qi He and others did not know all the truth, nor did they know that Wang Jian opposed the 100,000 people to rescue Shahai in the news to Zhao Zheng.

Just because the news that the generals knew mentioned that Wang Ben, who led 250,000 troops to block the Chu army in Honggou, had already died in battle, they then determined that Wang Ben's 250,000 troops had been defeated. Except for the part of Zhifu of Qi, the rest of the Zhou army was stationed near Honggou. It was impossible for the Zhou army to block the Chu army in Honggou, but the Zhou army could not not participate in the war. Or was the Zhou army defeated? Is the Chu army really only 120,000 troops?

"The heavy snow continues, our army cannot do it!" Qi Xi glanced at Jing Hua in Mingtang, Rongyang County Magistrate's Mansion, and his expression was as helpless as the Vulcan 120 miles south of Daliang. "Our army was newly defeated, with 250,000 people not one ten, and 700,000 troops only 450,000 left..."

"Seven hundred thousand army?!" Jing Hua didn't know how many people were under Wang Jian's command, but was shocked when he heard this number.

"There were 600,000 troops in Shahai, and tens of thousands were killed in the battle of Shashui, so he summoned tens of thousands of troops from various places. The previous month, the king ordered General Bai to lead the army of Longxi to Shahai. General Bai was 60,000 soldiers, and tens of thousands of fifteen-year-old boys were summoned in Guanzhong, only 100,000." After all, Qi Xi was a lieutenant general, and he knew more than Jing Hua, the new noble. Speaking of the scale of the Qin army, he was angry again and said, "This is the second in Changping, but why did the general divide his troops to block the Jing people in the gulf instead of the entire army to block the Jing people in the gulf? If Wu'an Jun is alive..."

The army led by Qi He was just in case. If the troops were not strong enough, at least 40,000 of these 100,000 people would be useful. Except for the lieutenant, the guards equipped with giant iron weapons, the remaining 60,000 were all bronze soldiers. Qi He was heartbroken and condemned Wang Jian for being inferior to Wu'an Jun Bai Qi. He believed that if Wu'an Jun Bai Qi had led the army, the Chu army would have been surrounded long ago. Involved in the general Wang Jian, Jing Hua didn't know how to respond, and Du Fu, the Rongyang Order, did not dare to echo casually, and just looked at Qi He and smiled dryly.

After a slowdown, Jing Hua looked at the Rongyang Order Du Fu who was smiling dryly and asked, "Can County Magistrate Du know how to get to Shahai?"

"The storm is storm and snow is gone, how can we reach the sea of ​​sand?" Du Fu frowned and shook his head repeatedly. "And where General Wang blocks the people of Jing, it should be south of the sea of ​​sand and west of Daliang..."

Rongyang is in Rongze, west of Wei Great Wall. From Rongze to Shahai, the nearest road is not to follow Honggu to Shahai, but to the south to Xinzheng, then turn to Huayang to the east to Yuguan, enter Yuguan and pass through Daliang to reach Shahai.

Daliang is 170 miles away from Rongyang Water Road, and the land route is definitely more than 170 miles. Moreover, Qifeng is 50 miles east of Yuguan. When you walk east from Yuguan to Qifeng to Daliang, you must follow the official road between Qifeng Daliang to go north. The Chu army heads north to Daliang, and this road has been occupied by the Chu army.

Jing Hua knew the difficulty of going to the sand sea, and was speechless when he heard this. But someone was not going to take the land route. Dong Guo Ruo, under Qi Lu's command, said: "The storm is storm and snow is not enough, but I don't know if the gap is blocked?"

"Honggou?" Du Fu did not understand his meaning. "If Honggou was not sealed, Rongyang would not have transported 100,000 people."

"No." Dong Guo Ruo said. "If the gulf is sealed, it can be moved above the gulf and reach the sea of ​​sand."

"Honggou..." Qi Hen nodded repeatedly after being surprised, and said, "Of course, our army can go from Honggou to the sea of ​​sand!"

"General is wrong." Du Fu hurriedly stopped it. "Honggou is frozen to Honggou, but to the east of Yanshi is the Great Wall of Wei, and to the east of the Great Wall is the vast zodiac. This is more than 40 miles away from Yanshi, and Yanshi is more than 120 miles away from Daliang. With strong winds and snowstorms, the army can stay in Rongyang, and in Yanshi, and to the east of Yanshi, where can it stay?"

"This..." As the leading army, Qi Xi basically marched inside. Generally, before the army arrived at the camp, local counties and towns had sent people to send food and firewood. After entering the east of the Great Wall of Wei along the Gangou, there were no cities and towns for 120 miles. Usually, it was barely enough, but now it was snowing heavily, and the Chu army occupied the Gangou west of Daliang, so this kind of march would definitely not work.

"Is the Daze frozen? If you can't, you can't stay above the Daze..." Dong Guoruo, who proposed to go directly to Daliang from the frozen gulf, did not want to give up his proposal. He still thought about how to rush to the sand sea as soon as possible. Before he finished speaking, he saw everyone turning his head and looking out the window. The north wind was swept wildly, and the sky suddenly became dark, and the Mingtang, which had no light, fell into darkness in an instant.

He was speechless. Although it was snowing heavily in the morning, the sky was still a little bright. It was now dark, which shows how heavy the snow was. The weather in Rongyang may not be the weather in the sand sea. If the snow in the sand sea was not so heavy, the battle would have ended before the 100,000 troops arrived. By the time the 100,000 people arrived, the Chu army had already rested. In this case, what's the point of rushing to the sand sea?

Dong Guoruo's idea was actually Wang Jian's idea. He thought the two armies would fight the next day, and the Qin army was most likely to defeat him. It was based on this idea that Zhao Zheng did not send reinforcements. Instead of rushing to the sand sea, these reinforcements were better at garrisoning Hangu Pass. As for the Chu army to attack Guanzhong from Wuguan, the Danshui was not smooth in winter, and the Chu army would have to wait until tomorrow Friday or June before entering Guanzhong again.

There was a blizzard in the sky. Since last night, the sea of ​​sand has been in the dark. It was only dawn at dawn, but it was also gray, and the sky was dark at the rest of the time. It was not snow, it was falling snow. The snowflakes poured down from the sky like mud chips, covering the sunshine. Wang Jian could only rely on the leaking pot warmed by carbon fire, otherwise there would be no leaking pot, and he didn't know when.

Blizzard is not a good thing for the Qin army. Wang Ben's army finally exhausted the Chu army. After a few days and nights, the fatigue of the Chu soldiers was gradually fading away, and the slightly injured soldiers once again joined the battle. The comparison of the forces of the two armies - plus the cavalry, plus the 60,000 people retreating back to the sand sea, has dropped from the original 710,000 to 120,000 to the current 510,000 to 110,000. If the Wei and Zhao armies in Daliang City also participated in the war, it would be 510,000 to 140,000.

The troops were greatly reduced, the army was insufficient, and the battle formation was even more unfavorable. Not only Wang Jian, but also the generals, including the right general Zhao Yong, began to feel that the hope of victory of the Qin army was very slim. The heavy snow and dark sky fell for three consecutive days, and it was only a little rest on the fourth day. In the swaying candlelight of the shogunate, Liu Chi left behind others and made a suggestion to Wang Jian: "Our army has no army and armor and cannot exhaust the enemy. This battle will inevitably be unwind. Can we go?"

"Let's go?!" Wang Jian stared at Liu Chi, and he said angrily: "You are leaving now! You..."

The decisive battle plan was conceived by Liu Chi and others. Now Liu Chi has changed his previous plan and suggested retreating. Wang Jian met Liu Chi again, but never thought that he was such a person.

"Our army has more than 80,000 armor, only 60,000 armor, and only 160,000 spears. The rest are all wearing leather armor, tens of thousands of soldiers holding iron spears, and tens of thousands of soldiers holding copper spears. How to fight?" Liu Chi reported the exact number of armor and weapons in the army. Originally, there were more armor and spears, so Wang Ben took away 20,000 armor and 20,000 spears, but the number of armor and spears that could be used was no more than the number of people in the Chu army.

"The general should know that the cavalry is wearing cloth armor. In this way, the infantry's armor is only 20,000. In addition, the more than 80,000 sets of large armor are only more than 100,000." Wang Jian was angry, and Liu Chi was excited. He proposed to withdraw his troops because he was afraid of death, but he had set up troops with his advisers for days and nights, and had no hope.

"Our army has a formation of 2,500 rows, each of which is forty rows. This is a hundred thousand people. Forty-eighty-thousand infantry can be arranged in five formations, but 83,000 sets of giant armor are only 33 rows, and they are divided into five formations. There are only six people wearing giant armor in each formation! In addition, 20,000 sets of cloth armor, only eight." Liu Chi, who was excited, pointed his hand at Wang Jian and compared it with a horoscope. "The remaining 380,000 soldiers are all wearing leather armor, and the Jing people can kill them with arrows. How can this battle be won? The major general and the war are exhausted by the Jing people, but the snow falls in the sky, so what if the heaven doesn't help Qin Nai?"

The weapon of the strategist is a smart plan, but when all the tricks fail, despair will naturally arise. Wang Jian is not a strategist, he is a general. Like the warriors, they rely not on smart plan but force. As long as they can still kill people, they will not despair. Whether it is 80,000 sets of giant armor or 40,000 sets of giant armor, or like Wang Ben, without giant armor, as long as the array is not collapsed, they will continue to fight.

Originally, Wang Jian was extremely angry at Liu Chi's rebellion, but when he thought that the strategist was not the general, they were just some smart diners, so how could he be angry with a diner as the lord? He bowed to Liu Chixu, who was still excited, and said calmly: "Daliang is not Linzi, I must fight with the Jing people."

"The general really thinks that a stone caster can break the Jing people?" Liu Chi looked at Wang Jian incredibly. "The temple thought..."

"I defeat the Jing people with the courage of the Qin people!" Wang Jian stood up suddenly. He looked at the soldiers at the mute gate with a look that looked like a plague. If he was not careful, it would be infected on a large scale. He subconsciously called out a word, and the soldiers quickly stepped forward. When Liu Chi was surprised that when Wang Jian summoned the soldiers, Wang Jian said, "Before the war, Liu Chi was imprisoned in a private tent, and he was not allowed to go out, nor could he whisper to others!"

"General!" Liu Chi was shocked. He never thought that Wang Jian would imprison him. "General..."

"It's only a few days." Wang Jian said with a gentle voice, then waved his sleeves and asked the soldiers to take Liu Chi away.
