Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1535 Sweeping Jizhou
Chapter 1533: Sweeping Jizhou
There are a total of 20 cavalry in the Qin army, plus the 22 surrendered troops of the Ming Dynasty, a total of [-] cavalry.

This time, Qin Hao dispatched [-] cavalry at one time only in the early stages of the Jizhou Campaign.

What is the concept of one hundred thousand cavalry?The combined cavalry of the four countries of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Qi barely reached [-], which shows that Qin Hao is determined to win Hebei.

Such a huge cavalry, if they act together, would be a waste of manpower. After all, the biggest advantage of cavalry is speed and impact.

Sometimes [-] cavalry can have the same impact on a war as [-] cavalry.

If some of the fortifications on the border between South Korea and Zhao could be broken by dispatching only [-] cavalry, why would it be necessary to dispatch [-] cavalry?
Zhang Liao naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words. Although he had done enough homework before leading the army, his understanding of Jizhou was much worse than that of Guo Jia who had been in Jizhou for many years.

"What the military adviser said is reasonable. Now that the Han and Zhao countries are not yet alert, and their troops have not yet been mobilized, it is indeed better to divide the troops to fight than to concentrate the troops."

As he spoke, Zhang Liao spread out the map, and after a quick glance, he pointed to several important places on it, and said in a deep voice: "The fortifications here, here, and here, and here must be broken as soon as possible, so I think that, The troops should be divided into four groups and act at the same time."

Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and said in his heart: As expected of the general appointed by the lord, he does have a few brushes, just a little mention, and he already has a complete plan.

"This general personally led [-] cavalry to raid the southeast border of Zhao State, and was responsible for destroying the five villages and seven forts along the way.

General Zhao Yun, you lead [-] cavalry to raid the border of Zhao State in the northeast, and you are responsible for destroying the three villages and nine forts along the way.

General Long Qie, you lead [-] cavalry from the headquarters to raid the border of Northwest Korea and destroy the two villages and four forts along the way.

General Xu Huang, you led [-] cavalry to raid the border of South Korea in the central part, and were responsible for destroying one village and five forts along the way. "

"promise."

The [-] army was divided into four, and quickly galloped towards the border of Han and Zhao, just like four sharp swords piercing Jizhou's throat.

South Korea, Hejian County, Lecheng County.

Han Fu served as the prefect of Hejian at the beginning, and after completely losing Yecheng, Han Xin moved the capital back to the Hejian government, Lecheng County.

Although Han Xin temporarily formed an alliance with Yuan Shao and the war ended, there were still many headaches for him.

First of all, the loss of Wei County caused South Korea to lose nearly half of its population and one-third of its land at once. The potential for war was greatly reduced.

The second is the defection of a large number of civil officials headed by Xin Ping and Guo Tu, which suddenly reduced the number of civil servants in South Korea by half, so that Han Xin had few available people.

As for the generals who defected, there were relatively few people, only a few such as Ju Yi, but they took away tens of thousands of South Korean troops and surrendered in one fell swoop.

For a powerful country like Qin, the loss of tens of thousands of troops can be quickly made up for, but Han Xin's South Korea is different, tens of thousands of troops have already been injured.

After finishing his day's work, Han Xin stretched himself, walked to the window and looked north, and said to himself, "Wang Mang went to lobby Liu Che, saying that he wants to form an anti-Qin alliance. I don't know if it will be successful."

And right now.

"Reporting to my lord, there is important information from Bingzhou that the Qin army has suddenly assembled and is marching towards Huguan, with unknown intentions."

There was a flash of understanding in Han Xin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "This is too soft to be ready to be tough. I hope that Longqi can stay in Huguan for a while, so as to buy time for the Anti-Qin Alliance."

The next day.

"Report... my lord, something is wrong. The Ming army surrendered. The Qin army occupied Huguan and the eleven counties of Jizhou without bloodshed. Now a large number of Qin army cavalry is marching towards the border."

"What? The Ming army surrendered to Qin? How is this possible?"

Han Xin's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Wang Mang had mentioned it to him before, but he didn't give any reason, so Han Xin naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't expect that the Ming army had really surrendered to Qin.

"Not good, 15 Ming troops descended to Qin, plus hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, Jizhou is in danger."

Han Xin's eyes were full of solemnity, and he thought a lot in his heart, and then he ordered: "Decree all the camps on the border, no matter how provocative the Qin army is, they are not allowed to fight. You must guard the camp for five days, and the reinforcements will arrive soon."

"promise."

Looking at the back of the spies leaving, Han Xin's eyes were full of gloom.

Without the Ming army and Huguan as a barrier, the Han and Zhao countries will face the Qin army directly, which makes Han Xin feel a great pressure.

"Hopefully it's still in time."

After Han Xin sighed, he hurried to make arrangements.

Now that the Qin army has entered Jizhou and has eleven counties in the west of Jizhou as its base, it must be a protracted battle to drive the Qin army out of Jizhou, and the previous arrangement is obviously not enough.

Han Xin quickly made adjustments and prepared to lead the army himself to the border to resist the Qin army, but he got a series of bad news before he arrived.

"Report... The Qin army came too fast, and before our army had time to react, the Beiqiu camp was captured by Long Qie."

"Report... Guangchuan camp was captured by Zhang Liao..."

"It is reported that seven of the nine castles have been captured, and our army has suffered heavy casualties."

"Damn."

A series of bad news made Han Xin clenched his fists.

The Qin army came too fast and too fiercely. Although Han Xin had issued an early warning, the troops stationed in various places also needed time to react, and Zhang Liao took this gap.

In just one day, wars ignited everywhere on the border of hundreds of miles in South Korea. Before the three battalions and nine forts set up had time to respond, they were trampled under the iron hooves of the Qin army one after another. How could the human camp and fortress be able to withstand the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry?

It has to be said that this action by Zhang Liao and Guo Jia overturned all Han Xin's previous arrangements at once, and it also opened a perfect start for the Battle of Jizhou.

"Send the order down, and set up camp on the spot." Han Xin ordered coldly.

Zhang Yun couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "But my lord, the Dongwu camp hasn't fallen yet."

Han Xin didn't answer, but Ju Shou said, "It's too late. By the time we get there, the Dongwu camp will definitely fall, so it's better to choose a dangerous place to camp and defend now."

As soon as the words fell, another spy came to report.

"Report... the Dongwu camp was breached by Xu Huang."

"what?"

Zhang He widened his eyes and said in shock, "The Dongwu camp is separated from the Guangchuan camp by dozens of miles. How could the Qin army break through so quickly?"

"It seems that all the Qin troops came were cavalry."

After Han Xin sighed, he ordered: "The cavalry of the Qin army is numerous and invincible. Order all cities to close their gates and not allow them to fight."

"promise."

On the other hand, the situation on Yuan Shao's side was even worse than Han Xin's. Most of the Bazhai and Sixteen Forts on the border also fell, causing turmoil in the entire Zhao Kingdom.

Yuan Shao also reacted quickly, and sent Lian Po to lead the reinforcements to support them, but the reinforcements had not arrived yet, and the remaining camps had already been breached by Zhang Liao.

After Lian Po arrived, the Qin army had already packed up and left, leaving only ruins everywhere.
