My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1067 Cut off their food supply and besiege Wei to save Zhao! I am the leader of the Dongling Mountain Bandit Camp!
January 14, the 17th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang.

Sixty miles southwest of Lishi City, on the side of the West Mountain.

Seeing the military report from Jicheng asking for help, Bater smiled softly: "Is this the Qin Changan Jun who killed you all?"

Bater's ridicule of Ying Chengjiao was just a pretense. In his heart, Bater was always wary of this young man who was so powerful in China.

But this time, Battelle's sneer came from the bottom of his heart!
This king is only trying a small trick, and even thinks that the probability of success of this strategy is less than 20%.

This Qin Chang'an Jun has already walked into a trap!

Mao Sui bowed solemnly to Bater and said, "Qin Chang'an Jun is the best general of Qin State, invincible in every battle!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun can even urge the earth dragon to turn over when the battle situation is unfavorable. In a matter of days, the earth dragon can swing its tail and blow away the city wall, causing the city defense to be burned to ashes!"

"Now Qin Chang'an Jun is leading his army to attack Jicheng. Jicheng is in danger!"

"Please, Commander, rush to Jicheng to help!"

Mao Sui tried his best to describe the horror of Ying Chengjiao in words that Bater could understand.

Bater also cooperated by pretending to be surprised and said in shock: "Qin Chang'an Jun was able to make the earth dragon accurately sweep away the city wall without hurting his soldiers when attacking and defending the city?!"

"Mr. Qin Chang'an, you are truly the Great Shaman!"

Before Mao Sui could agree, Bater's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, there's no need to worry."

"If Qin Chang'an Jun wants to seize Jicheng, it will be meaningless even if our army rushes to Jicheng to provide assistance."

"If Qin Chang'an Jun does not want to seize Jicheng, it will not matter if our army does not rush to Jicheng to provide assistance."

"If this great shaman exerts all his strength, no ordinary warrior can resist him. And my Great Shaman Tungus did not go with the army in this battle. Our army will not be able to resist Qin Chang'an!"

Mao Sui was confused.

He felt that he had suffered the biggest setback in his lobbying career!
He did hope that Bater would pay attention to Ying Chengjiao, but he did not hope that Bater would be afraid of Ying Chengjiao and would not return to help Jicheng!
Mao Sui immediately changed his perspective and advised: "Even with the ability of Qin Chang'an Jun, it is not easy to urge the earth dragon to turn over."

"In every previous battle, Qin Chang'an could only activate the Earth Dragon to flip over once or twice, and it was always used to decide victory or defeat."

"I hope the commander-in-chief will not regard Qin Chang'an's activation of the earth dragon as something that can be done easily. From what I have seen, although there is a possibility that Qin Chang'an can activate the earth dragon to overturn and destroy the wall of Jicheng, it is very small!"

"Once Jicheng falls, our army's food supply will be cut off, and Beicheng will be in danger. Our granary may fall into the hands of the enemy, and our army will be in urgent need of food and grass."

"This battle will be lost!"

"I hope the commander will send reinforcements to Jicheng immediately!"

Mao Sui persuaded from the perspective of food and fodder for the coalition forces, and Battelle could not refute him.

But there is no need for Bartel to refute.

Bater pretended to be shocked and surprised and said, "If I remember correctly, I ordered the King of Dai to lead 150,000 soldiers to defend Jicheng, and another 50,000 Dai soldiers to stay in Jicheng to guard the granary of Jicheng and rush to Jicheng at any time."

"Jicheng is only 140 miles away from Jicheng. If we rush to help, it will only take three days to arrive."

"Although the Qin army claims to have a million soldiers, according to military reports from all sides, Qin Chang'an Jun's army has at most 800,000 to 900,000 soldiers."

"No way? No way!"

"Are the 200,000 Dai troops defending Jicheng still not enough to resist the 800,000 Qin troops under the command of Qin Chang'an Jun?!"

The small city of Ji is simply not enough to support the full deployment of a million-strong army. In a siege and defense battle involving such a large force, the defenders will be at an overwhelming advantage for a considerable period of time.

Even if the forces of both sides were reduced in equal proportions, a ratio of four to one was definitely not an insurmountable gap.

If Li Ke had said this, Mao Sui would have responded with confidence.

But when this was said by a barbarian like Bater, Mao Sui blushed from face to neck and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Lord Qin Chang'an is very brave!"

Bater leaned back slightly, shook his head and said, "My subordinates are mainly Tungus warriors and Hu warriors. They are good at guerrilla warfare and field battles, but not good at fighting in a city."

"If a full 200,000 Dai army can't resist Qin Chang'an Jun, what's the point of me leading my army to rescue Jicheng?!"

"I think that instead of giving up our military advantage and fighting the Qin army in the city, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity when Qin Chang'an Jun leads the main force of the Qin army to attack Jicheng and attack the enemy by surprise!"

"Get the map of Kun!"

Ling Dalai took out the Kunyu map, and Bater pointed to the Dukang area and said, "The Qin army is heading north to Jicheng, but the Qin army's food and grass can only be transported through this place."

"Qin Chang'an Jun's troops are the main force of the Qin army. They have many soldiers and generals. It is impossible for them to carry too much food and grass with them."

"Once our army captures this place, we will be able to cut off the Qin army's food supply, causing the Qin army's front line to be short of food!"

"By then, the Qin army will collapse without a fight!"

"What do you think of this plan of mine?"

Mao Sui finally came to his senses, and looked at Bater with a sudden realization, saying, "From the very beginning, the commander-in-chief intended to lure the main force of the Qin army with Jicheng, and then seize Dukang when the main force of the Qin army left?!"

Bartel nodded calmly: "Not bad."

"This king did have this idea from the beginning."

"I also made it clear that Qin Chang'an Jun would most likely attack Jicheng, and I even left 200,000 soldiers and horses to defend Jicheng."

"Prime Minister Mao, do you think there is anything wrong with my arrangement?!"

What's wrong?

Mao Sui felt bitter at the corners of his mouth.

Although Battelle used Jicheng as bait, he left 200,000 soldiers to defend Jicheng. He did his best. Even if the Chinese people from other countries were to judge, they would only say that Battelle was really righteous.

As long as the enemy general is not Ying Chengjiao, Jicheng will not be easily captured. But unfortunately, the enemy general is Ying Chengjiao!
Seeing this, Bartel patted Mao Sui's shoulder and said, "Why are you being so shy?!"

"I know that Prime Minister Mao is worried about the safety of Jicheng, and also the safety of the King of Dai."

"But what I am doing is also to save Jicheng!"

"For the Qin army, the survival of the grain route is far more important than the ownership of Jicheng."

"Once our army captures Du Kang, Qin Chang'an Jun will definitely stop attacking Jicheng and immediately return to fight our army in Du Kang."

"By then, the danger of Jicheng will be resolved!"

"Isn't this what you call siege Wei to save the other?"

"If Prime Minister Mao is still worried, then this is what we should do." Bater said generously: "I will make the decision and allow Prime Minister Mao to lead 50,000 Dai troops to rescue Jicheng."

"In this way, Dai State is gathering all the troops in the country to defend Ji City, and this can also show the king's sincerity!"

After Mao Sui's brain worked rapidly, he had to admit that Battelle's strategy was indeed a better strategy.

It is a pipe dream to expect the Xiongnu and Donghu troops to attack and defend the city. Instead of detaining the Xiongnu and Donghu troops in Jicheng, it is better to let these two troops truly play the advantages of the Hu bandits.

As for leading his army back to Jicheng?

If an army of 200,000 is unable to do anything to Ying Chengjiao, then adding another 50,000 soldiers would only serve to give Ying Chengjiao military merit.

With a sigh in his heart, Mao Sui solemnly bowed his hands and said: "The commander's strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao is indeed the best strategy!"

"I am willing to be the vanguard and follow the commander's orders!"

Bartel curled his lips secretly.

He originally wanted Mao Sui to become a stumbling block blocking Ying Chengjiao from returning for help, but he never expected that Mao Sui chose to stay.

Bater laughed heartily and said, "Why should Prime Minister Mao be the vanguard?"

"The key to this battle is speed! Urgency! Surprise!"

"Therefore, only the warriors of the Hu Kingdom can serve as the vanguard of this battle."

"But when we attack the enemy city, we will have to trouble the Dai and Yan armies!"

Mao Sui and Li Ke immediately cupped their hands and said, "We will definitely live up to the commander's trust!"

Bater shouted solemnly: "Pass on my order!"

"The Yan army followed the Hu Kingdom to attack the two cities of Anci and Qizhou!"

"The Dai army followed Gao Yi to attack Fangcheng!"

"The rest of the troops will follow me to attack Zhuocheng!"

"Set off immediately! Quick battle and quick decision!"

The generals from all departments responded in unison.

The troops of Dai and Yan quickly broke camp and prepared to set off, while the troops of the Xiongnu, Gaoyi and Donghu did not even need to break camp and their horses galloped eastward!

Relying on the speed of horses, Battelle's troops covered a distance of a hundred miles in just one day. After a short rest at night, they arrived at the city of Zhuo!

"How can I, a general, defeat an enemy force of more than 400,000 with only 10,000 soldiers?"

Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Deng Ming shouted angrily: "Pass on my order!"

"Two thousand soldiers will be stationed at each gate to guard it, and another two thousand elite soldiers will be stationed in the city as a reserve force."

"Take out all the weapons for defending the city and place them on top of the city wall!"

As soon as the order was given, Deng Ming saw hundreds of old, weak, women and children from Shanggu County being driven and crying towards Zhuocheng. Deng Ming frowned slightly, held down the crossbowmen behind him, and watched these old, weak, women and children slowly move forward in silence.

Seeing this, Bater sneered: "The southerners are really just like what their ancestors said."

"There is a stupidity called kindness!"

Since he was a child, Bater had heard from the elders of his clan that using the Chinese people as cannon fodder to attack Chinese cities would likely cause the city defenders to not fire a single arrow, helping them to easily capture the city.

Judging from the reaction of the defenders of Zhuocheng, Battelle felt that the defender of this city should be the kind of fool that his ancestors had said, and the city was about to fall into his hands.

But just as Battelle was about to order the vanguard to capture the city, arrows shot out from the top of the city, accurately and ruthlessly killing all the women, children, the elderly and the weak!

Putting down the longbow with a trembling bowstring, Deng Ming looked coldly at the white banner behind Bater and said calmly: "Does the enemy general not know that I was once the leader of Dongling Mountain?"

A gentleman can be deceived by tricks, but I was once the famous leader of the Dongling Mountain bandit camp in the underworld, okay?

Isn't killing women, children, the elderly and the weak my specialty?

After the kill, I cannot plunder the remaining wealth, which makes me feel itchy.

Seeing that the enemy had sent out a group of women, children, the elderly and the weak as cannon fodder, Deng Ming gave the order in a deep voice: "Crossbowmen, be on guard. Archers, aim before shooting. Be sure to conserve arrows!"

While giving the order, Deng Ming shot three arrows in succession, piercing the foreheads of the three old men!

After sending out five teams of women, children, the elderly and the weak, Bater finally gave up his fantasy and ordered his servants and slaves to dismount from their horses, carry ladders, and charge towards Zhuocheng.

Deng Ming's heart was warmed when he saw this, and he shouted loudly: "All the generals, listen to my orders!"

"Shoot for me!"

“Shoot hard!!!”
