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

Chapter 478: Encirclement the site for reinforcements or ramming earth to seal the city? Chang'an Jun is delaying time on purpose!
Although Ying Chengyu had long been worried that he would be faced with the dilemma of wearing a yellow robe.

But the diners' desire for profit and Mrs. Han's determination were beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation.

When Mrs. Han stepped into Xianyang City with a feeling of despairing of death, the unknowing Ying Chengyu jumped out of the flying boat and laughed loudly: "General Meng!"

"Come and be safe!"

Meng Wu stood up and dismounted, bowed his hands and said with shame: "I failed to comply with the king's order, please trouble Chang'an Lord to lead the army to reinforce."

"General, I'm ashamed!"

Ying Chengyu smiled warmly and said: "Our Qin Dynasty is not good at attacking cities, and General Meng only has 40,000 troops. It is not easy to always pose a threat to Handan City, so there is no need to be too harsh on yourself."

"This general has arrived with 110,000 troops and horses. With the combined strength of your troops and mine, I think this Inner Yellow City will be destroyed soon!"

The Qin army's siege capability was relatively weak.

In order to avoid losses, Da Qin also tried its best to suppress the generals' desire to attack the city and guide the generals to seek opportunities for field battles.

"If the commander hadn't arrived with reinforcements, the general would have decided to form a camp and hold on."

Meng Wu's expression actually relaxed a little: "The battle situation is not that bad."

However, Tian Jia knew very well that all he had was a title, and all he could do was fight for one or two when Ying Chengyu used the Qi army as cannon fodder. He did not have the power that a lieutenant general should have, let alone Meng Wu. ability.

"In addition, thousands of troops were stationed in Yanghu City, twenty-six miles to the west of Neihuang, and Jipu City, sixty miles to the southwest. They served as horns and helped each other, and even ordered the navy to make frequent raids by taking advantage of the surrounding rivers. Our army will quickly switch to battle."

The Qin State, which had gone through a great war, was defeated.

The State of Qi knew what was right and did not ask for the formation of a coalition. Instead, it directly merged the Qi army into the Qin army.

The Xia capital, Xihe City, and the Shang capital, Yin City, are both nearby here, making this place the center of China for a long time and making the city density here terrifying.

But there are seven fortified cities with strategic significance blocking this road!

"As of four days ago, King Zhao had only recruited more than 10,000 troops. Including the garrison around Handan and the guards of Handan City, King Zhao could only reinforce no more than 40,000 troops."

At this moment, Ying Chengyu truly felt what it was like to be one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

"The Zhao army has been stationing 10,000 defenders in Neihuang City for a long time to withstand the front of our army."

Leaving the chores to his generals, Ying Chengyu got on his horse and walked side by side with Meng Wu. He asked in a solemn voice: "What is the current situation of the battle in Inner Huangcheng?"

"Although there are cities such as Feicheng after the Huan River, Zhao State does not have that many soldiers to defend the city."

Just listening to Meng Wu's story, Ying Chengyu felt a headache for Meng Wu.

But Ying Chengyu also had to understand the rules, so he gave Tian Jia the title of deputy general.

This indeed allowed Da Qin to reduce the losses in siege as much as possible, but it also created a vicious cycle in which the Qin army became less and less good at siege.

So Tian Jia politely handed over his hand first: "The second son of King Qi Xiang, Gongzi Jia, pays homage to Vice General Meng!"

After a brief greeting, Ying Chengxuan ordered: "Master Gua, lead your robes to follow Vice General Meng to the camp and set up camp."

"Our army currently has only 31,692 combat troops left, and the enemy still has more than 17,000 troops."

If an ordinary general were to come here, not to mention taking the opportunity to completely annihilate the Zhao navy, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on until now and they would be defeated!
But this is not the most troublesome thing. Ying Chengyu frowned and said: "This is only the defense line east of Huanshui River."

"We can't trap Handan City until we break through this line of defense!"

"General Meng, this is Mr. Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, and the deputy general of our army."

But the situation in Zhao State was worse than Qin State.

"According to the ascertainment of the candidates, the king of Zhao began to recruit troops two days after the general left Qi, but the income was not abundant."

There is only a short distance of more than two hundred miles from Neihuang City to Handan City.

"Even if our army captures the cities in Neihuang and crosses the Huan River to the west, it will still have to face the defense line composed of the four cities of Fei and Lieren, namely Pei and Ge Ni!"

Meng Wu said seriously: "It must be like this!"

Meng Wu kept the distance between him and Tian Jia, and politely returned the salute: "Greetings to Vice General Tian, ​​Vice General Tian is very polite."

The defenders of the three cities can maneuver and assist each other at any time, and follow the strategy of a group of wolves hunting tigers.

If Ying Chengyu hadn't been by his side, Tian Ji would have given him a generous gift.

Although Meng Wu's troops seemed to have more troops, 40,000 soldiers and horses could not form an absolute strength advantage against 20,000 enemy troops in a siege battle, let alone face three cities at the same time.

"Please give me some advice when Lieutenant General Meng is free!"

For the same general, if he can be promoted to the rank with a profit of two thousand in field battle, he will need to make a profit of eight thousand in a siege battle.

"This general rarely goes on expeditions, and his military strategy is inferior to that of Lieutenant General Meng."

Ying Chengyu solemnly raised his hands: "In this case, there will be General Lao Meng."

Meng Wu shook his head: "Not optimistic."

"If it hadn't been for the late general's mission to annihilate Zhao Jun's navy at the end of last year, our army would not have been able to hold on now!"

Every time Meng Wu tried to counterattack, he would only end up hitting a solid city wall!
It's no wonder that Meng Wu couldn't fight for a long time.

"This general has received the king's order and will lead our army under the command of Lord Chang'an. The last general will also be the deputy general of Lord Chang'an and obey the commander's orders!"

"When you are in the military, just say your job."

"Vice-General Meng, Vice-General Tian, ​​let's talk while walking."

A tragic defeat in Changping left Zhao Guoqingzhuang with very few, and the subsequent fierce battles with Qin caused Zhao Guoqingzhuang to suffer a lot.

Unless Li Mu's troops are recalled, King Zhao will no longer be able to mobilize more troops to resist Ying Chengyu!

Ying Chengyu asked thoughtfully: "How do you think Vice Admiral Meng should conduct this battle?"

Meng Wu immediately spoke: "Today, the commander has borrowed 100,000 Qi troops. In the end, the general and the commander will join forces, and the total force will reach more than 140,000."

"The situation of the war has also changed drastically!"

"The general thought that we should attack Neihuang City with a hundred thousand heavy troops, and then use 40,000 troops to ambush on the only way." "Not only attack the city, but also send reinforcements!"

Ever since the military report that Ying Chengyu led an army of 110,000 troops arrived, Meng Wu had been thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.

But after thinking about it, Meng Wu found that he didn't need to think so much.

Just do it!

They have so many troops, so they are so arrogant!

But Ying Chengyu shook his head: "The Qi army is weak and has low morale."

"Although our army now has as many as 140,000 troops, it is vast but not sophisticated."

"Vice General Meng should know the situation of the battle in Echeng. Our Qi army is only slightly better than Chu Zhao'an army."

"If our army uses the Qi army as the main force to attack Neihuang, it will be difficult to defeat it quickly."

"Soldiers who are broad but not skilled have obvious shortcomings and cannot be deployed according to the regular army."

"In the event of an enemy surprise attack or night attack, our army may blow up the camp at any time!"

Tian Jia's smile faltered.

My Daqi soldiers are so weak, I really feel sorry for you!

But no matter how weak our Daqi soldiers are, they can't be compared to the bandits!
Meng Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, coach, I will eventually gain some experience from training together."

"Although the Qi army is weak, it is due to lack of training and rewards."

"When attacking Neihuang, the last general will also train the Qi army at the same time."

"Practice while fighting, and use battle as training. As long as there is enough food and grass and the battle is hard work, after three months, although this army will not become a strong army, it will at least be able to fight."

When it comes to military training, Mengwu is professional.

Give Meng Wu three months, he is confident that he can train this Qi army into a combatable soldier like the Yan army and the Han army!

Tian Jia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to promise: "Don't worry, Lieutenant General Meng!"

"I will summon Linzi immediately and ask my king to send more grain and grass."

"The gold reward can be compared to that of martial arts warriors in the past. All rewards will be borne by me, Daqi!"

"This general will also report to the king, admonishing the king to give land to reward the meritorious generals, and give full support to Lieutenant General Meng!"

No matter how much money and food they pay, or even if all these 100,000 soldiers and horses are wiped out, as long as they can learn the skills of Mongolian military training, Qi will make a profit!
Meng Wu's eyes flashed, and his smile became more intimate: "A lot of food and grass are consumed during military training!"

Meng Wu was excited about the food and grass that was about to be put into his bag.

Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Three months is too long!"

"It will take a long time to pull out the city one after another and approach Handan."

"I can't wait that long!"

According to Meng Wu's plan, it would take at least four or five months for the Qin army to reach Handan City.

Four or five months is not a long time compared to a war.

But Ying Chengyu will not forget why he came.

He doesn't seek victory, he just seeks to force Li Mu to return for help!

Meng Wu's military strategy is certainly sound, but soundness is not suitable for this battle!

Meng Wucheng asked for advice: "May I ask the coach if he has any good ideas?"

After Ying Chengyu pondered for a long time, he spoke slowly: "I thought that we could trap the city!"

He took out the map of Kun from his arms and unfolded it in front of Meng Wu. Ying Chengyu asked in a deep voice: "According to the map of Kun, except for Jipu City, the rivers adjacent to Neihuang and other cities are not big rivers?"

Meng Wu thought while replying: "Of course!"

"The general has just been to Jipu City last month."

"Although Jipu City is adjacent to the Huan River, as the Huan River changed its course, Jipu City is now five miles away from the Huan River. Now Jipu City digs ditches and canals to divert the water from the Huan River into a moat."

"So the river that Jipu City faces is not considered a big river."

Ying Chengqiao smiled happily: "Very good!"

"In this case, I would like to order General Meng's troops to block the gates of the three inner and yellow cities and not allow them to leave the city."

"Let the Qi army carry more soil and cut off all the rivers flowing into these three cities."

"At the same time, ram the city with earth and trap all the soldiers and horses in the three inner and yellow cities inside the city."

Meng Wu couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "This strategy will consume a lot of physical strength of our soldiers, and will also cause our army to lose part of its combat power and be in danger."

"But I don't think this strategy will have much effect."

"In the past twenty years, all the cities in Neihuang have been the first barrier to the southeast of Zhao State. These three cities have accumulated a lot of food and grass."

"If we adopt the strategy of trapping the enemy, it will probably take at least a year to exhaust the food and grass in these three cities."

"But in one year..." Meng Wu hesitated for a while before saying slowly: "Xianyang is in danger!"

While speaking, Meng Wu looked at Ying Chengyu with hesitation.

Meng Wu had already received the order from Ying Zheng and knew that once Ying Zheng died, Ying Chengyu would inherit the throne.

Now that he heard Ying Chengyu's military strategy, Meng Wu inevitably had an idea in his mind.

How long does this strategy take?
But Chang'an Jun's military strategy will obviously take longer!

Lord Chang'an may not be delaying time on purpose, just to sit back and watch the death of the king in a reasonable manner!
