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

Chapter 892: Seize the weak spot and strike! Punish the untrustworthy and the unjust, and the thief who betrays the alliance shall be punished by everyone!
October 18th, the 16th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

An army of 700,000 soldiers, accompanied by 300,000 corvée laborers and a force of one million, marched towards the Du Kang area in a mighty force.

In the middle of the army, Wang Ben said in a relaxed tone: "I thought the commander-in-chief would lead the elite troops to help Yang Wengzi first, and I also thought of many words of persuasion. I never thought that the commander-in-chief would not do the old battle of Fukouxing, and was willing to go with the army."

Chang'an Jun's plan is not as crazy as Aweng said!
Ying Chengjiao shook his head slightly and said, "Dai Wu'an Jun is definitely not an ordinary general."

"In the Battle of Fukouxing, I led my elite troops to the front line and caught Dai Wu'an Jun off guard."

"In this battle, Dai Wu'an Jun will definitely be more prepared. If I lead my elite troops to attack thousands of miles away, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help the front line stabilize its position, but will instead be surrounded by the enemy and die on the battlefield!"

"Moreover, both the enemy and our army have extremely large forces in this battle. Although tens of thousands of elite soldiers can break the stalemate and create opportunities for battle, they can hardly influence the overall situation."

"Instead of leading elite troops to the front line, it is better to trust Yang Wengzi to stop the enemy's front for our Great Qin and hold out until our troops arrive!"

Ying Chengjiao was also worried about the battle situation of Yang Duan and his troops.

But what Ying Chengjiao knew more clearly was that for a general of Li Mu's level, it was almost impossible for them to be hit by the same tactics twice!
Rather than repeating the past with huge risks and extremely low returns, it is better to place our hopes on Yang Duanhe!

Wang Ben nodded slightly and said, "According to the time, the main force of the enemy should have been attacking the Yishui Great Wall. I only hope that Yang Wengzi will hold on and buy time for our troops to deploy!"

As he was speaking, a cavalry squad came galloping over with their tokens held high. Finally, led by Ying Chengjiao's personal soldiers, they arrived in front of Ying Chengjiao and bowed solemnly, saying, "Your Excellency Chang'an, we are here to report the military situation on the front line to you, Lord Chang'an, under the order of the king."

"According to our scouts, Dai sent a total of 150,000 troops, Yan sent a total of 350,000 troops, and Qi sent a total of 700,000 troops. The total number of troops from the three countries is 1.2 million!"

"Yesterday, the troops of the three kingdoms joined forces in Yicheng."

"On the day of the joint forces, Dai Wu'an Jun ordered the capital official Kuang Yong to lead 60,000 troops to Santai City, and ordered the general Chang Chao to lead 40,000 troops to Fenmen City. The remaining troops were deployed around Yicheng and attacked Yicheng and Yiguan!"

Hearing the report from the guard, Ying Chengjiao frowned slightly: "Dai Wu'an Jun only sent 100,000 troops to attack Santai and Fenmen, and the remaining 1.1 million troops were deployed around Yicheng?"

The waiter nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at Wang Ben and asked, "General Wang, why do you think Dai Wu'an Jun arranged it this way?"

Gathering an army of 1.1 million in one place is not only a huge waste of manpower, but also stupid!

Ying Chengjiao believed that Li Mu was by no means a stupid general, and he definitely had his own motives for doing so!
Wang Ben pondered for a moment and said, "First, there may be some grudges between the troops of the three countries. Dai Wu'an Jun needs to use the power of one side to balance and suppress the troops of the other side, so he has to gather the troops of the three countries first and then divide them in Yicheng."

"Secondly, Dai Wu'an Jun needed a key victory to boost the morale of the army. The target of this key victory was set as the Yishui Great Wall! Dai Wu'an Jun knew that this move could not be concealed from our army, so he assembled almost all his troops for a quick victory."

"Third, Dai Wu'an Jun lacked capable generals under his command, so Dai Wu'an Jun had to shrink the battle line and limit the battlefield to one county."

The famous generals of Dai State had been expelled by King Zhao, and the capable and battle-hardened generals of Dai State had been almost all killed by Qin State.

As for the two countries of Yan and Qi, there is no need to mention that these two countries have not had any capable and fighting generals in the past decade or so.

Wang Ben believed that Li Mu was probably in an awkward situation with too many soldiers and too few generals.

Although dividing the troops to fight can better play the military advantage of the coalition forces of Dai, Qi and Yan, if there is no suitable general to command the small forces, it would be better for Li Mu to command the main army alone!
After a pause, Wang Ben added: "I think these three do not exist separately, but are more likely to exist at the same time!"

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly and said, "General Wang's thoughts are similar to mine."

"Besides that, I think Dai Wu'an Jun's move is also an attempt to draw as many troops of our Great Qin as possible to the Yishui Great Wall."

"In this way, my Great Qin will become even more empty behind!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Ben nodded in agreement and said, "What Chang'an Jun said makes sense!"

Ying Chengjiao's mouth curled up slightly: "This is our army's opportunity!"

After a moment's silence, Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order!"

"Commander Li Xin led 50,000 troops to attack the Dai Kingdom's Wuyang City, and Commander Qiang Huai led 50,000 troops to attack the Dai Kingdom's Jingruan City."

"When attacking the city, Lieutenant Li Xin and Lieutenant Qiang Huai will work together to sweep the roads along the way and not allow any Dai Kingdom baggage train to go south to the Yishui Great Wall!"

"Commander-in-chief Meng Tian led 50,000 troops to recapture Pingshu City, and Commander-in-chief Peng Yue led 50,000 troops to recapture Zhongyi City."

"When attacking the city, Commandant Meng Tian and Commandant Meng will join forces to clear the roads along the way and not allow any baggage train from Qi to go north to the Yishui Great Wall!"

"Commander Jingpo led 30,000 troops to rush to the aid of Santai City, and Commander Mengnan led 30,000 troops to rush to the aid of Fenmen City."

"We don't ask for the loss of the two cities, but to exploit the enemy's weakness and annihilate the enemy soldiers."

"Send a message to Yang Wengzi's troops, asking them to hold out for another three days. I will lead the main force from Li Pass to the north and attack the enemy from the flank!"

"If Yang Wengzi can hold the Great Wall for three days without losing it, Yang Wengzi can be credited with the first merit in this battle!"

Listening to Ying Chengjiao's arrangement, Wang Ben said with emotion: "Dai Wu'an Jun really has the potential to be a great general."

"It's a pity that Dai Wu'an Jun should not be the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."

"The conflicts of interest between countries will eventually make this great general's talent go to waste!"

In Wang Ben's opinion, Li Mu can be regarded as a great general of the time.

If the two armies were to face each other, Wang Ben would not dare to say that he would definitely defeat Li Mu. However, Li Mu's strengths and weaknesses were obvious. He was not good at handling court affairs and diplomatic affairs.

And Ying Chengjiao's series of orders were like a series of heavy hammers that hit Li Mu's weak spots!

As a general, Wang Ben even felt a little sympathy for Li Mu!

Ying Chengjiao's voice was also somewhat complicated: "Although I have fought against Dai Wu'an Jun's army many times, I respect Dai Wu'an Jun."

"If I could raise a cup and drink with Dai Wu'an Jun, and fight together as my comrades, I would consider it the greatest pleasure of my life!"

"It's a pity that I will be the enemy of Dai Wu'an Jun again this time."

"In this case, only by going all out can I show my respect to Dai Wu'an Jun, and only by going all out can I help the Qin army win this battle!"

Show mercy when fighting against Li Mu?
Will this general be worthy?

Not worthy at all!
Shaking his head regretfully, Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "Send a message to the entire army."

"Hurry forward!"

The six armies immediately broke away from the main army and rushed towards their respective targets.

The remaining 440,000 troops also accelerated their march under the leadership of Ying Chengjiao. That evening, they crossed the Yishui Great Wall along the Li Pass and then turned northwest, getting closer and closer to the flank of Li Mu's troops.

On October 20th of the 16th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the Qin army scouts had already begun fighting with the coalition scouts. Correspondingly, the general movements of Ying Chengjiao's troops had also fallen into the eyes of the coalition forces.

However, Ying Chengjiao did not change the marching route. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to make a brief rest and then personally led the main force to charge head-on into the Yan army camp stationed on the right wing of Li Mu's troops!

Listening to the scouts' reports, King Xi of Yan became increasingly anxious. He finally looked at Li Mu and said sincerely, "Dai Wu'an Jun, I know that although our soldiers of Great Yan are brave and good at fighting, their combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Qin army."

"Can we ask the elite troops of Dai to fight against the Qin army, and let our soldiers of Dayan support them?"

Tian Sheng looked at King Xi of Yan with a little more contempt, and solemnly bowed and said: "The Qi army invites you to fight!"

"Although Qin Chang'an is brave and valiant, my warriors are also brave as dragons and tigers!"

"The whole Qi army is willing to help Zuo Xiang!"

Listening to the words of King Xi of Yan and Tian Sheng, Li Mu couldn't help but frown.

Since King Xi of Yan has already taken the initiative to request to avoid the war, he will certainly not resolutely resist the enemy next time.

The Qi army was willing to fight, but the combat effectiveness of the Qi soldiers was worse than that of the Yan army. If the Qi army faced the Qin army alone, it would probably collapse quickly.

Li Mu was once again in a dilemma with no choice!

With a sigh in his heart, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Order! The army will turn around!"

"Let our elite troops of the Great Dai be the vanguard, with the Yan army as the left wing and the Qi army as the right wing, to fight the enemy!"

King Yan was very grateful and bowed his hands, saying, "Thank you, Dai Wu'an Jun!"

Following Li Mu's order, the coalition army began to change its formation. Seeing this, Ying Chengjiao raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation: "Captain Su Jiao will lead 100,000 elite troops to stop the Dai army."

"The rest of you, follow me and turn south. Target the enemy's left wing. Charge!"

With shouts, Ying Chengjiao took the lead and led an army of 340,000 to charge forward.

Li Mu immediately ordered: "The front troops advance and stop the Qin army!"

Su Jiao also shouted at the same time: "Soldiers, follow me and charge!"

Like Mars hitting the Earth, Su Jiao's troops collided suddenly with the coalition's vanguard and engaged in a fierce battle. The Dai army was completely distracted by Su Jiao's troops and could only watch as Ying Chengjiao led the main force of the Qin army to rush towards the left wing of the coalition.

And that is where the Yan army is stationed!
Ying Chengjiao roared angrily: "Soldiers! In the past, Prince Dan of Yan assassinated our king, causing us, the Qin officials, to suffer great shame and humiliation!"

"My king is kind and generous. He has let Yan live and has even formed an alliance with Yan to stop attacking each other!"

"And today, the State of Yan broke the alliance and attacked our Great Qin! These traitors must be killed by everyone!"

"Soldiers! Follow me and charge!"

Behind the great banner, 340,000 Qin soldiers roared in unison: "Punish the unfaithful, punish the unjust, and the traitors who betrayed the alliance, and everyone has the right to kill them!"

"kill!"

With a roar, Ying Bu took the lead, crossed the army, and charged into the Yan army's formation!

The warhorse under Ying Bu's crotch screamed and fell to the ground, but Ying Bu used the force of the collision to directly break through three lines of spears and quickly pierced through the fourth line of spears with the spear in his hand!
Listening to the roar of the Qin army and seeing the defense line being pierced in the blink of an eye, King Xi of Yan was completely dumbfounded!

Bypassing the Dai army and attacking our Yan army?
What kind of hatred or grudge do we have?
