Chapter 577: Create all possible opportunities to defeat the enemy's plan [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Wang Jian looked at Yan Yan and sighed.

My intentions have been seen through.

I can only say that the statement that geniuses are just the threshold to see me, and only those who cross them are qualified to fight with me, is really not an arrogant statement.

At least as soon as I made a move, the other party had guessed what I was going to do, and they cooperated with me to help me eliminate the soldiers' tension.

"Li Xin and Qiang Wei have already captured Fanwu. The next target is Jingxing Pass!"

Wang Jian rarely revealed military intelligence to Yan Yan.

Although Yan Yan could find out these things by asking directly, ever since he came to the military camp, he really came here to get free food and drinks, and did not ask about military affairs at all.

With the tactics of Bingjun revealed by the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

During the entire central military meeting, no one dared to suggest that Bingjun be invited to participate in the discussion.

If the other party really speaks, and he is the king of a country, and there are orders from the king, should they cooperate and execute them?
Therefore, out of sight is pure.

Although Xianyang also sent a letter asking him why he did not send troops to attack Yanyu City, Wang Jian found a good excuse to reply.

You won’t allow it!

This reason is strong enough.

Anyway, Xianyang City wants to get Bingjun for free, and it is assumed that after Bingjun arrives, the command of the army will be handed over to Bingjun.

If you have the guts, go ask Bingjun. Why are you making things difficult for an old man like me?
As for whether Yan Yan received Xianyang’s inquiry.

Wang Jian felt that the message was probably received, but the other party was just willing to cooperate with him and pretend to be stupid to help him get away with it.

Wang Jian felt very comfortable about this. There was nothing wrong with keeping such a mascot and a piece of trash who could provide him with emotional value.

It's just a bit hard for their children, as they have to go all over the mountains and fields to hunt all kinds of game for the other side every day.

A captain of a large army's main battalion had fallen to the point of chasing pheasants and rabbits all over the mountains.

"General Wang, do you know the difference between sieging Bingzhou and sieging the Central Plains?" Yan Yan continued to tease Wang Jian.

"I would like to hear the details!" Wang Jian was indeed a little curious.

Although Bingzhou's strict sieges only targeted a few cities such as Wuwei and Hongshangsai.

"For example, the Qin warriors and Bingzhou blood riders went to chase a rabbit. The rabbit escaped into the forest. The Qin warriors went into the forest first and came back soon to say they didn't catch it. Then the Bingzhou blood riders went in. A cup of tea later, a bear was beaten and ran out, saying, 'I am a rabbit!'"

Yan Yan spat out the grape skins as he spoke.

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, he understood what Yan Yan meant.

When Bingzhou attacked the city, they didn't care about the lives of the people in the city.

Even if the civilians were killed or the city was massacred in the battle report, it would be said that they were the enemy army!

But that is something that only Bingzhou can do, because Bingzhou is attacking foreign tribes.

The Central Plains could not do this, so the Qin army would be restricted in its siege.

"I just want to tell General Wang that sometimes intimidation is actually quite useful. At least it can prevent the people of Zhao from helping the Zhao army anymore!" Yan Yan turned over and lay on the couch to bask in the sun on the other side.

Wang Jian looked at Yan Yan, who was lying on the couch with his back to the sun.

He was not the superficial person who could not understand or read the subtext in Yan Yan's words.

Bing Jun's words seemed to show that he didn't care about the lives of the people, but in fact he cared about the lives of the people more than anyone else.

His intimidation was meant to force the people of Zhao to voluntarily withdraw from Yanyu City and stay away from the battlefield to avoid disaster, rather than really disregarding the lives of the people.

Many times and in many things, don’t look at what others say or do, but look at the results of doing so.

"Wang Jian, I will teach you!" Wang Jian bowed and saluted with his sword in his arms, not caring whether Yan Yan accepted it or not. Yan Yan lay down and waved his hands, without saying anything else.

Wang Jian did not stay any longer and began his daily patrol of the camp.

Finally, after another five days, Jingxing Pass and Yecheng fell one after another. Li Xin and Qiang Wei led their troops south and began to occupy the cities in the central and northern parts of Zhao State. Yang Duanhe had also crossed the Yellow River and annexed the city of Handan.

"It's time!" Wang Jian came to the generals' platform again.

Then I found that Yan Yan had already wisely moved away his soft couch for basking in the sun, and I don’t know where he ran off to hide.

"Have you told Bingjun about the progress of his army?" Wang Jian was a little surprised.

He had never seen Yan Yan in the central army tent, and the guards had never said that Yan Yan had been in there, so how did Yan Yan know that they were going to go to war and took away the soft couch that was in the way in advance?

"No, Mr. Bing didn't even ask!" Wang Ben shook his head.

"It's a bit scary!" Wang Jian finally understood why Yang Duanhe and Meng Wu went to Bingzhou and came back saying that Bingzhou could not be attacked.

I'm afraid that after Bingjun saw through my strategic intentions from the very beginning, he calculated the army's marching speed by himself and guessed my next move, especially the exact time when the next move would be launched.

"It's a pity that Wushuang Gui didn't come, otherwise I would really like to borrow it." Wang Jian thought with some envy.

Their battle was a surprise attack.

If Wushuang Gui led a team of assassins to take the Beast Path and suddenly appeared on the city of Yanyu, then the fall of Yanyu would be smooth sailing.

"Finally, I confirmed with the herbalist and the woodcutter that the two animal paths were indeed unknown. I sent a small team of scouts to investigate and confirm that there were no Zhao troops stationed there."

Wang Jian was still very cautious.

At least before taking action, he pretended not to know the existence of the two beast paths and did not send scouts to investigate.

Only when an attack is imminent will people be sent to investigate.

This is also to avoid the scouts being discovered by the Zhao army when they go for reconnaissance.

Wang Ben nodded and asked the scout camp to send out an elite scout disguised as a woodcutter to investigate.

However, this did not affect Wang Jian's plan to mobilize troops to attack the city.

In order to make the surprise attack successful, it is necessary to first attract the attention of the Zhao army to the front, otherwise the surprise attack will not have any effect.

After all, the maximum number of people who can pass through the Beast Path is thirty.

They had to make the Zhao army relax its attention on the city walls on both sides.

Therefore, the Qin army began to attack the city, desperately attacking the gate in front of Yanyu City.

As the Qin army launched a frenzied attack, the Zhao army's attention was indeed attracted to the majority.

However, Wang Jian had been observing the number of defenders on both sides of the city wall.

The defenders on both sides must also be pulled to the middle.

Otherwise, the surprise attack team that crossed the stream from the mountain to the city would be just delivering food.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, once he has a method to defeat the enemy, he will try every means to create an absolute environment and advantage for this method.

So even though the first team of death warriors had been on the mountain for several days, Wang Jian never gave the order for them to climb the city.

At this time, Wang Jian had always envied Bingzhou for having Dian Qing and Wushuang Gui, two natural battlefield killing machines.

If there were such people in Qin State, he would not have to wait so long and could directly order them to climb the city and fight.

Finally, on the tenth day of the siege, Huo Ze could no longer withstand the pressure and was negligent in his command, so he transferred the defenders on both sides of the mountain stream to the central city tower.
