Chapter 255: The Broken Yan Wangdan
"Report, King, Jicheng has an emergency military situation." Amid the curse of Yan Wang Dan, an extremely panicked voice rang outside the tent.
"Jicheng?" Yan Wangdan's face suddenly turned pale.
The army of 120,000 people disappeared for a month, and now Jicheng has received emergency military information. All these signs point to the fact that the Qin army launched an attack on Yan State.
"What the hell is going on?" Yan Wangdan ran out of the tent anxiously, and passed a roll of sealed bamboo slips from the guards, and walked like inside the tent while dismantling them.
As the bamboo slips were opened, lines of words belonging to Yan State jumped into Yan Wang Dan's eyes, and his face became paler.
When Yan Wangdan's face was extremely pale, it suddenly became rosy, and his mouth was undoubtedly opened and closed until a mouthful of blood mist was sprayed out, and his face turned pale again.
"Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng, you are so cruel." Yan Wang Dan held the bamboo slip in his hand.
"King, what happened? How is Jicheng?" Ju Meng looked at Yan Wangdan's pale face and vaguely thought of a terrible possibility.
Yan Wang Dan took a look at Ju Meng and did not hide anything. Some people must conceal the news he just got, but if he had to hide his general from him, what else would the Yan army fight? Could it be that King Yan himself would let him go to battle?
"The Qin army left Shangjun and walked through the Great Wall. Three days ago, crossed the Yanshan Mountains and attacked Jicheng. According to the speed of the Qin army's march, the troops were almost at the Jicheng City." Yan Wang Dan said without any emotion.
"Qin Army, Jicheng?" Ju Meng looked at Yan Wang Dan with a deep thought.
In the past half a month, 100,000 Yan troops have been on the frontier of Qin and Yan. In the end, Is it a good show that was led by the Qin army?
Jicheng, where there is no new army guard, may be able to defend Jicheng? And the army here has the opportunity to return to aid? In this era, although it is not easy to attack the city, the purpose of the Qin army may not be to capture Jicheng. If the Yan army is ambushed by the Qin army halfway through the Yan army's return to aid...
Such a battle example is not unfamiliar to Ju Meng. The battle between Pang Juan and Sun Bin has been seen by people. No one who is willing to make achievements on the battlefield does not know the key points, but when such a thing happens again, people will realize a fact.
Pang Juan may not be unable to see the key point back then, but did he have another choice? He did not. He was just a general of Wei, not the King of Wei.
The current situation is just like the situation back then, and he is not as good as Pang Juan. The Yan army is not even more powerful than Wei Wuzhang in the Wei Kingdom. The King of Yan may be able to compare with King Hui of Wei back then, but the Qin army is not the Qi army back then.
"Go back to help." Yan Wangdan closed his eyes in pain. Even though he knew that the process of returning to the help ground must be full of dangers, what can he do with Yan Wangdan? He had no choice.
"King, our army must be on guard against the Qin army that retreated during the day. That is 60,000 Qin troops." Ju Meng couldn't help but remind.
But as soon as he said that, Ju Meng regretted it. If he had to guard against the Qin army and return to the capital Jicheng, then there was only one way, that was, to leave a soldier and horse to cut off the back, and it seemed that he was the only one who could take on this great task.
But once he stays, what if he is unfortunate enough to say that the 60,000 Qin army is waiting for him, and will Yan Wang Dan leave him enough power to deal with the Qin army?
That is impossible. If we leave enough power here to resist the Qin army that is likely to return, how can we return to Jicheng?
However, how many troops will the king leave for himself? 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000?
It is impossible to exceed 30,000.
When Ju Meng was thinking about his future fate, Yan Wang Dan had already put his eyes on him.
After the initial confusion, Ju Meng quickly realized that his Yan King was waiting, waiting for him to speak, and he took the initiative to speak and stay in the palace behind him.
The opera Meng was extremely complicated at this time. He didn't know what he should say. If he knew Liu Yi, the Korean Sima of that year, he might have another idea at this time.
"King, I am willing to stay and cut off the rear to stop the Qin army that may return." Ju Meng said in a deep voice.
"Okay, the general is worthy of being a loyal minister of my Yan State. Don't worry, as long as you can stop the Qin army, I will definitely be able to break the siege of Jicheng, and Yan State will still be the same Yan State." Yan Wang Dan said with satisfaction.
"For the sake of the king and for the sake of Yan State, I will never refuse to die." Ju Meng said with a kneeling kneel.
"Okay, I'll leave 10,000..." Yan Wangdan paused at this point.
But the words of Yan Wangdan made Ju Meng's heart completely sink to the bottom.
Ten thousand? The opposite side was the 60,000 Qin army, which was like a wolf and a tiger. Before, Yan Wangdan, who had a 100,000 army in hand, still looked like he was walking on thin ice in the face of the 60,000 Qin army. Now he was letting himself command 10,000 people to resist the Qin army? This is a complete gift of heads.
"Five thousand, ten thousand army." Yan Wang Dan seemed to realize that there were too few people left behind. He was not worried about Ju Meng's reaction, but he also thought that 10,000 people were not enough to stop the Qin army, so he had to add five thousand troops.
But if he was allowed to leave more troops, he would not want to.
If too many troops are left behind, then the closure of the rear becomes a decisive battle. If so, what else would the so-called closure of the rear be interesting?
"promise."
·······
The capital of Yan State Jicheng, this Yandu, who had never seen the enemy in decades, was completely in panic at this time. The uninvited 100,000 Qin troops completely exploded the capital of Yan State, which was weak but had never experienced any fierce battles.
The Qin army camp, Meng Wu, as the commander of the Qin army, looked at the terrain sand table around Jicheng in the big tent with a serious expression. For the Qin army, Yan State was certainly not a strong enemy, but as the commander of the first army, he did not dare to slack off at all. Even a slight mistake in the war could lead to an opposite result.
"When will the army of Yan Wang Dan return to Jicheng?" Meng Wu retreated his gaze from the sand table and asked Ji Wuye, who was waiting for military orders in the reconciliation.
"Report to the general, if the last general is not wrong, Yan Wang Dan should not be able to come back." Ji Wuye replied with his fists.
"Uh? General Ji, don't be joking." Meng Wu frowned.
"How dare the last general joke about such things? General, Yan Wang Dan faces the king. Do you think Yan Wang Dan can escape from the king's hands?" Ji Wuye said.
"King, he only has 60,000 people after all." Meng Wu said.
"General, it's not that the king has an army of 60,000, but that the 60,000 army has an army of 60,000." Ji Wuye said with a smile.
