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

Chapter 910: Yang Wengzi, I congratulate you on your fortune! What was taken away must be taken back one by one!

December 2, the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin Shi Huangdi.

Yang Duanhe stood on the top of Yiguan City Wall. His silvery hair and beard blended into the white snow. His body remained as straight as a pine tree and as still as a mountain despite the cold wind. He just looked towards the north with a look full of stories.

Finally, a large banner appeared in Yang Duanhe's field of vision, like a stone thrown into an ancient well, causing thousands of ripples.

Yang Duanhe took two steps forward unconsciously and hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands.

After confirming that he was not mistaken, Yang Duanhe's voice was choked with sobs: "The reinforcements have finally arrived!"

On September 29th of the 15th year of King Zheng of Qin, 350,000 troops of Yan State arrived at Yicheng and began to attack Yang Duan and his troops.

On October 17th of the 16th year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, Li Mu led the armies of Qi and Dai to Yicheng, and the 1.1 million-strong army began to attack Yang Duan and his troops in turns.

On October 20th, Ying Chengjiao led reinforcements to Du Kang and engaged in a battle with the coalition forces. However, while the coalition forces were fighting with Ying Chengjiao's troops, they also never stopped attacking Yang Duan and his troops!

It was not until the great victory at Xibanyu that the coalition forces fled hastily to the northeast and stopped their attack on Yicheng.

Facing the frenzied attacks of armies ranging from over 200,000 to over 1 million, Yang Duanhe managed to hold out for over a month with only 80,000 soldiers!
Only 80,000!

God knows how Yang Duanhe managed to survive that month!

Now that he finally saw Ying Chengjiao leading reinforcements, Yang Duanhe was like seeing a relative, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate!"

"Send out scouts... No!"

"Call up my family soldiers and personal soldiers. I will go to welcome the commander in person."

"This time, I will not let the commander lead his troops away again no matter what!"

Fearing that Ying Chengjiao would slip away again after circling around the area, Yang Duanhe personally rushed out of the city gate and went to meet Ying Chengjiao's troops.

"General Yang Duanhe pays respect to the commander-in-chief!"

Yang Duanhe stopped his horse in front of Ying Chengjiao, bowed, and then stared at Ying Chengjiao with a resentful look: "Smelling this strong smell of blood, the commander must have gained a lot in this battle!"

Su Jiao said excitedly: "Yang Wengzi's prediction is correct!"

"Thanks to the wisdom of Commander Lai and the planning of Deputy General Wang, our army has captured 179,803 enemy heads since joining the battle!"

"Not only that, our army also captured eight enemy immortals!"

"It's a pity that tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were swallowed by the earth dragon, making it difficult to capture their heads. Moreover, a large number of enemy soldiers fled or surrendered voluntarily. Otherwise, our army would have gained more in this battle!"

As he spoke, Su Jiao subconsciously felt a little regretful.

Unfortunately, the enemy retreated and surrendered too quickly. After overcoming the initial chaos, they set up multiple blockades in succession. The commander was also cautious and did not pursue them relentlessly.

Otherwise, the gains in this battle would have been tens of thousands more!

Yang Duanhe was stunned: "What?"

"Did you comrades capture an immortal in this battle?!"

Can a noble being like an immortal be captured?
Wang Ben laughed and said, "We can win such a great victory in this battle, all thanks to Lord Chang'an!"

"Chang'an Jun cleverly used the rifts between the coalition forces to sow discord among them, and even ordered the Earth Dragon to devour tens of thousands of enemy troops in Xibanyu, severely damaging the enemy's morale. He also announced to the world that the Earth Dragon would turn the tables on Dai this year, causing the Dai army to panic and not dare to fight again."

"Only our military can achieve a great victory!"

"It is a blessing from heaven that I can follow Lord Chang'an to achieve such a great feat!"

Feng Wuzhe, Xi Feng and other generals, even the middle and grassroots generals, all showed satisfied smiles like old farmers with a good harvest, and it was obvious that they were quite satisfied with the results of this battle.

Yang Duanhe looked towards Ying Chengjiao with an increasingly resentful look.

You have a large army at your command, with Chang'an Jun as the commander and the Earth Dragon Arm as your helper, so it will be easy for you to win a great victory.

This general led a force smaller than that of a detachment, and guarded the northeastern gate of the Qin Dynasty under the fierce attack of an enemy force several or even dozens of times its size. Even though he tried his best, the military merit he gained was only a small profit.

Not to mention being promoted to the rank of general, it is not even enough for me to be promoted to the next level of rank.

Mr. Chang'an, aren't you bullying the elderly?

Ying Chengjiao was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he cupped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Yang, I congratulate you on your fortune!"

Yang Duanhe was stunned and asked in confusion: "Master, congratulations to me on my fortune?"

"I have never been a businessman, and where did I make my fortune?"

Ying Chengjiao said with a smile: "Although our army did not capture any cities or strategic locations in this battle, we have made great achievements. We have captured more than 200,000 enemy leaders, severely damaged the coalition forces, and eliminated a large number of young and strong enemy soldiers, which is very beneficial to the overall development strategy of our Great Qin."

"The king will surely be delighted and reward generously!"

"Our army was able to achieve such a great victory, all thanks to Yang Wengzi who defended the Yishui Great Wall for our army with only 80,000 soldiers and horses, and also tied up many troops of the coalition army."

"Yang Wengzi is the first to achieve merit in this battle, and he will definitely receive the heaviest reward!"

"Isn't this going to make me rich?!"

Yang Duanhe no longer felt resentful. He looked directly at Ying Chengjiao and glanced at Wang Ben from the corner of his eye, and asked tentatively: "Can my contribution really be regarded as the first merit in this battle?"

Wang Ben said sincerely: "What the commander said is also what I think!"

"Although Yang Wengzi didn't seem to have gained much in this battle, his contribution far surpassed mine!"

"Yang Wengzi deserves the credit for this battle!"

"I hope Mr. Yang will not refuse!"

Only after the war ended did Wang Ben feel frightened.

According to the achievements in the battle of Xibanyu, I am afraid that Wang Ben’s title will catch up with Wang Jian before the war is over!
He doesn't want Wang Jian to see his son die before him!

Seeing Ying Chengjiao and Wang Ben's sincere but somewhat nagging gazes, Yang Duanhe's two-month depression was swept away, and he laughed out loud: "Hahaha~" "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief and Deputy General, for your appreciation!"

"I am honored to be the first to achieve this victory!"

Ying Chengjiao and Wang Ben looked at each other and could see deep smiles in each other's eyes.

It was not the best choice for Ying Chengjiao and the Wang father and son to go to the expedition.

It would be perfect if Ying Chengjiao and the Wang father and son went to the battle and then brought Yang Duanhe along to carry the responsibility!

Taking advantage of Yang Duanhe's good mood, Ying Chengjiao asked, "How much combat power does Yang Wengzi's army have left?"

Yang Duanhe's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile on his face slowly faded. He sighed softly, "Since the start of the war, 33,813 soldiers of my army have been killed, and 7,602 have been seriously injured."

"There are only 38,585 people left who can still fight."

As he spoke, Yang Duanhe was extremely sad, but Ying Chengjiao's eyes showed some admiration.

It was not easy for an ordinary general to defend the Yishui Great Wall with such a huge difference in troop strength, but Yang Duanhe not only defended the Yishui Great Wall, his casualty ratio was even lower than that of the Yan army!

He is worthy of being Yang Wengzi of the Great Qin!

Ying Chengjiao said immediately: "Before the expedition, the king allowed Yang Wengzi to recruit 100,000 soldiers from Xuejun, Sichuan, Jiujiang, and Huaiyang, and transferred General Ren Xiao, General Tu Sui and other generals to serve under Yang Wengzi."

"It's just that the war is urgent, and Yang Wengzi has been slow to join forces with the newly recruited troops, and only led the Linle garrison to fight the enemy."

"This is my fault!"

"All the soldiers recruited from Xue County and other counties were placed under the command of Yang Wengzi."

"The remaining soldiers in Linle Camp will also continue to be under the command of Yang Wengzi!"

Hearing this, Yang Duanhe's eyes suddenly lit up: "Where does the commander want me to attack?"

"I will definitely defeat the enemy!"

Although there are only more than 30,000 soldiers left in the Linle camp, those who are still alive can be considered elite soldiers.

The 100,000 newly recruited troops led by them are a force that can decide the victory or defeat on the local battlefield!

In Yang Duanhe's opinion, Ying Chengjiao took the initiative to help him build muscle, which obviously meant that he had an important task to assign to him!
Ying Chengjiao looked at Yang Duanhe sincerely and said, "I don't need Yang Wengzi to defeat the enemy, I just need Yang Wengzi to intimidate the enemy!"

"I will follow the pre-war military strategy and transfer Yang Wengzi to Pingyuanjin, using his reputation of being undefeated in hundreds of battles to intimidate the State of Qi!"

"All the soldiers recruited from the four counties of Xue County have arrived at Pingyuanjin to respectfully await Yang Wengzi!"

Yang Duanhe's smile froze on his face, and then he said with a flattering smile: "Commander, can I change my mission?"

The rich expression on Ying Chengjiao's face slowly faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain!"

The light in Yang Duanhe's pupils gradually dimmed, and resentment appeared in his eyes again.

That's it again! That's it again!
When the war is about to begin, I will be transferred away from the front line.

What is Pingyuanjin?
More than 700 miles away from Yicheng!

If I went to Pingyuanjin, I would not be able to earn any military merit!

Fortunately, he still had a first merit. Although Yang Duanhe was a little resentful, he was not dissatisfied and bowed and said, "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao drove his warhorse forward a few steps, approached Yang Duanhe's side and whispered: "I will not hide it from Yang Wengzi."

"The Pingyuanjin battlefield is of great significance to this battle!"

"I ask Yang Wengzi to do his utmost to threaten Qi at Pingyuanjin, and use all means to force Qi to dispatch troops to Pingyuanjin."

"If my plan can be successful, the credit for this plan will also go to Yang Wengzi!"

Yang Wengzi's originally dim eyes brightened up again: "Really?"

Ying Chengjiao asked in return: "When have I ever broken my promise?"

Yang Duanhe was excited and bowed loudly: "I will do my best to fulfill your mission!"

Then Yang Duanhe could not wait to rein in his horse and make way, calling out in a loud voice: "Comrades, please enter the city!"

Seeing Yang Duanhe eagerly asking the generals to change positions so that he could rush to Pingyuanjin, Wang Ben praised softly: "Good man!"

"However, Yang Wengzi is so eager to fight. Will his fierce attack ruin the commander's plan?"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "Deputy General Wang can trust Yang Wengzi's offensive ability as much as he trusts Yang Wengzi's defensive ability!"

"Yang Wengzi's desire to attack is stronger, so he can attract the attention of Qi State."

Caution and meticulousness are ingrained in our nature.

In the original history, Yang Duanhe tried his best to attack the Great Wall of Zhao guarded by Sima Shang, but the effect was still equivalent to scraping.

If Yang Duanhe was not allowed to be more radical, Ying Chengjiao was worried that Qi would not know whether Yang Duanhe was attacking or not!
Wang Ben burst out laughing.

Ying Chengjiao looked at Wang Ben and said, "The important task of our army's attack still needs to be handed over to Deputy General Wang."

"Next, I will lead 200,000 soldiers to guard the Yishui Great Wall, and wait for the right opportunity."

"The remaining troops will all be dispatched by Vice General Wang."

"Wang Wang's deputy general seized the opportunity of the coalition army's exhaustion and Dai Wu'an Jun's weakness of being alone, and launched a fierce attack!"

Wang Ben nodded slightly, and said calmly and matter-of-factly: "After five days of rest, I will lead the troops north."

"The cities and prestige that were taken away from my Great Qin will be taken back one by one!"
