After seeing off the members of the Shanhai Alliance, Ouyang Shuo began to mobilize the army and make final preparations.

The troops that went on the expedition included the Imperial Guard Brigade led by Wang Feng, the Second Heavy Cavalry Brigade led by Lin Yi, the Fourth Light Cavalry Brigade led by Luo Shixin, and the Independent Light Cavalry Brigade led by Shaobu.

The First Brigade of the First Division guarded the Daying in the West of the City, and the Third Brigade guarded the Daying in the East of the City. The Fifth Brigade of the Bows and Cavalry led by Sun Chuanlin replaced the defense to the Daying in the North of the City, and assisted the remaining 500 cavalrymen of the Independent Brigade to guard the Daying in the North of the City.

Of course, the two generals Shi Wansui and Elai also had to go to war with each other.

Fortunately, all the troops were cavalry, and within one day they all rushed to the base camp to gather. In terms of logistics support, Ouyang Shuo directly took 200,000 military ration pills from the War Preparation Department, which could be used by the army for twenty days. If the war horses were included, they could only last less than ten days of consumption.

Ouyang Shuo also wanted to bring more military ration pills. One was the storage capsule space was limited, and the other was the production capacity of military factories. Two hundred thousand military ration pills were already the output of military factories for nearly a month and a half.

Therefore, unless the Qin State's logistics support was not provided, Ouyang Shuo would not use these military ration pills.

Based on the price of 1 silver coin for a military ration pill, 200,000 military ration pills are 2,000 gold coins, plus the teleportation fee of 10,000 gold coins. Before the battle began, Ouyang Shuo had already consumed 12,000 gold coins. If he could not achieve a fruitful result, he would suffer a lot.

***************

On November 14, the first year of Gaia, at 9:00 a.m., the system announcement rang out on time.

"System announcement: In 262 BC, the Qin army attacked Han Yewang. The Yewang surrendered to Qin. Shangdang was exterminated. The Han Dynasty was panicked and proposed to offer Shangdang to relieve Qin's troops. The county magistrate Feng Ting was unwilling to enter Qin, so he sent an envoy to ask Zhao to surrender. King Zhao was furious and ordered the Zuo Shuchang Wang to lead his army to attack Shangdang again. Zhao Sui ordered Lian Po to lead his army to aid and fight with the Qin army in Changping."

"In the third year, the Qin envoy's daughters rebeled in Zhao. In July, Zhao people changed their generals and Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po to fight. Qin secretly transferred Bai Qi, the Jun of Wu'an, as the general. Bai Qi used the combat policy of pretending to be defeated and retreating, luring the enemy out of the position, and then divided and surrounded him, and annihilated it. He won the war and killed 200,000 surrendered troops in Zhao State. The third epic battle - the Battle of Changping, officially began!"

Ten thousand elite cavalry in Shanhai County were arranged in the square and ready to go.

As usual, the conditions for participating in the war are tested, the number of people participating in the war is determined, and the camp is selected.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for Wuyi's start of the battle teleportation. The number of teleporters is 10,000. After deducting the player for Wuyi's 10,000 gold coins teleportation fee."

"System prompt: Transmission starts!"

After a brief spontaneous turn, Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared on the Changping battlefield.

"System prompt: Players are welcome to say that Wuyi has arrived at the base camp of the Qin camp - Guanglang City."

In 262 BC, the Qin State conquered the Yewang, an important town in Hanoi.

The Ye Wang Zhengzhong was at the exit of Taihang Xing, the second pass of the eight passes in Taihang. It is an important stronghold to ensure that Shangdang County, South Korea enters Hanoi and then connect with the areas south of the Yellow River in South Korea.

The Ye Wang was abandoned, and the connection between South Korea's Shangdang County, north of Taihang, and South Korea's capital Xinzheng was broken. For South Korea, the land was barren and the sparsely populated Shangdang County was a dead land. Therefore, South Korea planned to exchange land for peace and ced Shangdang County to Qin. However, Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County, gave Shangdang County to Zhao and continued to resist Qin, which triggered the war between Qin and Zhao for Shangdang - the Battle of Changping.

At that time, Zhao Ting had a fierce debate on whether to accept Shangdang. Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng believed that Zhao State had "a great benefit" to possess Shangdang without spending one soldier and one soldier, and agreed to accept it; while Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, based on the national strength of Qin and Zhao, the comprehensive national strength of Qin was far better than Zhao State, and firmly opposed accepting the feud between Shangdang and Qin State.

Zhao Kuo analyzed from the perspective of ********* and concluded that Zhao State must accept Shangdang's conclusion.

Because if Qin State obtained Shangdang County, then occupied Huguan, and then went east to the fourth Taihang Xing, Fukou Xing, and directly attacked the capital of Zhao State, Handan.

It is precisely based on this that Shangdang is useless for South Korea, but it is indeed a life-and-death place for Zhao State. Qin State attacking Shangdang, on the surface, was fighting with South Korea, but in fact it was preparing for the next attack on Zhao State. Therefore, regardless of whether it was accepted or not, there must be a battle between Zhao and Qin, and accepting Shangdang, Zhao State can fight for the initiative to deploy defense in advance and be prepared for the battle. This is a wise move.

In 262 BC, the famous general of Zhao State, Lian Po led the Zhao army to accept Shangdang and at the same time deployed defenses in the Changping area to prevent the Qin army. Lian Po chose to deploy defenses in the Changping area because of geographical conditions.

First, Changping is a strategic location with many superior military and geographical conditions in the entire Shangdang area. The area is dominated by hills, followed by mountains and Pingchuan. The main river is Dan River, and there are five tributaries, Xu River, Dongcang River, Xiaodongcang River, Dongda River, and Yonglu River, which are spread in a network shape throughout the entire area and are rich in groundwater.

In the case of war, there are dangers in the mountains, especially in the west and north, which are higher than Guan and Changping Pass, so the gates and other groups can be defended. The so-called "one man should be the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open"; hills can be carried out without major obstacles in the movement of troops, but they can act in a hidden way; river valleys and rivers are flat, and it is very suitable for large troops to dispatch and transport baggage, and there is no risk of food and drink from large troops. All of these are very beneficial to the main army but not the guest army.

Secondly, whether the Qin State attacked Shangdang or attacked Handan, there were two strategic channels between the mountains, namely, whether it was taking the west road on the Wuling and Laomaling line, or the south road on the Yangchanban and Tianjingguan line, Changping was a strategic shortcut and had no choice but to pass. In other words, as long as Lian Po had a strong army and a strong soldier who was defending Changping without losing his losses, the Qin army could not step on Shangdang, let alone approach Handan.

The Zhao army went west from the capital Handan, and passed the fourth pass of the "Eight Passes of Taihang", and then went westward and passed Hukou Pass to the hinterland of Shangdang. From then on, they headed southwest, followed the Bajian River, passed Bayi Village, passed Guguan and entered the Changping War Zone, followed the Xiaodongcang River Valley, passed through Jinmen Town to the Xuan Family, and then divided the troops and deployed defenses.

Xuan is located in the center of the Danhe River bed, at the confluence of Danhe and Xiaodongcang River. The terrain is relatively low and humid, and the terrain is wide and flat. The two banks of the river are unkempt with an open land of about 10 kilometers. Although there are many hills in the middle, they do not block movement and have dangers to rely on. Here, they can move along the Danhe River bed to the southeast, and the Danhe River bed to the northwest, and the roughly parallel original village, and the Macun Erhe River bed to the southwest.

After Lian Po entered the Changping area, he set up three lines of defense in turn.

First, the Laomaling defense line. The center of Laomaling is a huge Xingkou, commonly known as Gaoping Pass. The left cliff is steep and the right steep stream is, and only the middle line is connected to the east and west. Xingkou is 350 meters long from east to west and 1,000 meters wide from north to south. There are river valleys in Guandong and Guandong to reach the foot of the mountain. Guanxi has a tributary of Duanshi River to go west. Although there is a Haoshan top to the top of Guandong, there are Danhe tributaries of Xuhe and Liangyuan Macun River in the south and north of the mountain. The Yuancun River is descending from east to east, and the river valleys are all well-traffic and military rushes between Hedong.

After Lian Po set up defenses on Laoma Ridge, he built Erjun City at the intersection of Macunhe River and the intersection of Yuancunhe River on the southern foot of Haoshan Mountain in Guannei, thinking that the support of Laoma Ridge outposts formed a horn. Both cities of Erjun City were backed by mountains and rivers, and were gathered in a stable situation. He could station heavy troops and rush to Gaoping Pass at any time.

The eastward direction of the Shunma Village River and Yuancun River in Erzhen City, Kangying Village is at the intersection of Erhe River, Xu River is in the south, Beiling Mountain in Henan, Ma Village in the west, Langshan in the original village is in the intersection of Erhe River, and Langshan in the west. This village can be said to be surrounded by four mountains and converges with three rivers, forming a closed geographical environment. At the same time, the three river valleys are bent and connected outside, forming a typical military rush that can be advanced or retreated, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Kangying is the "Guanglang City". This was originally an important support and supply base for the Xuan family in the rear of Zhao, Daliang Mountain's defense outpost against Laomaling; later it was captured by the left-handed king of Qin, Wang Yu, and became the base for the Qin army to advance eastward.

The Guanglang City where Ouyang Shuo and his party arrived is here.

Not to mention this, let’s first introduce the other two defense lines arranged by Lian Po.

Second, Danhe defense line. Danhe originates from Gaoping, the Changzijie Mountain Danzhu Ridge, winds southeast, runs from Gaoping Central, runs across the entire territory, passes through Jincheng in the south, and flows into the Yellow River to Henan. The valley is deep and the flow is large, and the terrain along the coast is wide, which facilitates the movement of the large army.

Lian Po used this natural barrier to build a second line of defense along the mountain on the east bank of the Dan River, which is the main line of defense for the Zhao army, that is, the main position. This line of defense is from Zhaozhuang on the southeast along the east bank of the Dan River, Daliang Mountain to Gaoping, Shangxiacheng Gongcun on the junction of Jincheng; from the northwest of the Xuan family along the east bank of the Dan River, Dian Shang, Qijiayuan, Weicheng, Shimen, Arrowhead, Sanjun, Han Wangshan, Yonglu, Changping, Dishan, Jushui, and Danzhuling.

Daliang Mountain is the place where Lianpo Village has accumulated grain and cucumber. From this, the mountain travels northeast, and there are Guanjialing, Qifo Mountain, and three mountains to the foot of the mountain, which is actually a mountain. The mountain is the highest among the mountains above the central part. You can see Guguan to the northeast and Laomaling to the southwest. And Hanwang Mountain, which is more than 10 kilometers north, is one south and one north, and is located high, forming two eyes on the Zhao army's defense line for dozens of miles, which can make the enemy and us on the entire battlefield like a pointing palm, and can freely dispatch us in Hedong and look at the enemy in Hexi.

This situation is extremely superior from a military and geographical perspective, especially in ancient wars without modern communication methods. It is more important. At the bottom of the mountain, there is the Xiaodongcang River Valley on the left and the Dongcang River Valley on the right, which extends parallel to the northeast and directly to Handan. It can maintain close contact with the rear and ensure the supply of supplies of food and straw.

The Lianpo shogunate was located in Daliang Mountain.

Hanwang Mountain is located 7.5 kilometers north of Gaoping. It is Dan River. The watershed between Xiaodongcang River and Yonglu River. This mountain is independent of Moyun. When you climb to the four sides, you can see the river, villages and scenery on both sides of the Dan River for dozens of miles. It is vivid in your mind.

There is a remaining General Ridge on the west side of the King of Han Mountain, which is almost as high as the main mountain. If you climb up to the distance and look out, you can see the Dan River line for dozens of miles. Just like the Daliang Mountain in the three-year confrontation period, it is set up a temple in Lianpo, Han Wang Mountain is the shogunate of the main general Zhao Kuo in the decisive battle. The western foot of the King of Han Mountain to the Dan River line is the main battlefield for the decisive battle, that is, the central area where the Zhao army was besieged in the end.

Changping Pass is located at the junction of the northern border of Gaoping and Changzi. The north of the pass is the source of the Zhuozhang River, which belongs to the source of the Zhuozhang River. There is Danhe Pass in the south of the pass, and the southeast is the mountain head. The west is the Danzhuling Mountain, which is the highest peak. The northern slope of Changping Pass is relatively gentle, and the south slope of the pass is steep. When you climb to the south, you will see a high point.

Changping Pass is the northern terminal of the second deep defense line of the Zhao army built by Lian Po, which is to defend against the Qin army's huge defense from the east or north.

Third, the Baili Stone Great Wall Defense Line. This line generally also runs in the northwest to southeast, mainly east-west. This line starts from Changping Pass in the west, winds eastward through Nangong Mountain to Yangtou Mountain, and then passes through Jinquan Mountain to Ma'anhe River at the junction of Lingchuan and Huguan. It is named because it is built along the mountains and ridges, which is a simple Stone Great Wall that lasts 100 miles long.

If Laomaling is Zhao's defensive outpost and Danhe is the main position, then the Baili Stone Great Wall is Zhao's rear path. This defense line is the northeast built by Lian Po, that is, the deepest in the rear of Zhao, which is the last huge defense related to the safety of Shangdang and even the base camp Handan.

In the spring and summer of 262 BC, Lian Po set up defenses on the front line of Laomaling, and Wang Feng led his army to prepare for an assault along the Qin River. The defenders of Zhao Laomaling encountered the Qin outpost troops, but the defenders could not resist it, so the Qin army advanced step by step.

Wang He broke through Zhao's natural danger Laomaling and its defense cluster, captured its response and supply base - Sishan Environmental Sanitation, and the Wangu Fortress Guanglang City, where the three waters converged, was wiped out all obstacles to the Dan River eastward, and arrived at the west bank of the Dan River in one go, forming a situation of confronting Zhao across the river.

Lian Po understood the Qin army's combat power during the encounter and could not fight head-on with it. He could save his strength and wait for an opportunity to fight the enemy. Without organizing resistance, he would withdraw back to the east bank of the Dan River along the mountain line, defend the favorable terrain, and rely on the Dan River as a supporter to strengthen the Dan River defense line with all his efforts.

At this point, Lian Po was waiting for Qin, and Qin challenged several times, but Zhao's troops did not come out. In this way, he made full use of the favorable terrain he occupied, held his foothold, and responded to changes with the same stability. He persisted for several years. Wang Yan, who was strong and eager to fight, was at a loss and could never cross the Dan River.

The battle situation is in a stalemate state of no distinction between victory and loss.

The Qin army came from afar, and the supply of grain, grass, and supplies were difficult. It was also known as the so-called "tiger and wolf country" of war and blood. It was called "lost support" in Shangdang; the Zhao army waited for labor with leisure, and supplies could come in a steady stream, and the full support and cooperation of Shangdang officials and people. This determined that the Qin army was conducive to quick battles and Zhao was conducive to a protracted battle.

The situation of the war cannot stay on a horizontal line for a long time. Either it will continue to develop according to Lian Po's strategic thinking, and the camera will counterattack, defeat or destroy the Qin army; either a change occurs, or Zhao's own constraints, or a countermeasure from the Qin court, causing the situation to develop in the opposite direction.

As a result, King Xiaocheng of Zhao, who was young and impetuous and had at most military knowledge, regarded Lian Po's strategy of waiting for labor and later defeating the enemy as "not daring to fight."

King Zhao thought it was a mercy, and Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju sent people to Gan Jin to Zhao as a counter-espionage, so he sent Zhao Kuo to attack Qin on behalf of Lian Po. At the same time, when Qin heard that the horse was a general, he secretly sent Wu'an Jun Bai Qi to be the general, and Wang Yan was the deputy general of the lieutenant general, and ordered anyone in the army to dare to vent Wu'an Jun to be killed. From then on, the three-year stalemate between weak Zhao and strong Qin was finally broken, and the battle situation turned sharply and fell in a direction that was beneficial to Qin but not to Zhao.
