Chapter 949: The Magnificent Power of Han (Seventy-Three)

"Speed ​​up, speed up!" Li Jianbin kept whipping his horse and galloped towards Erlong Mountain. He was the commander of the Qin cavalry. According to Ying Ying's previous deployment, if the battle to capture Longmen went smoothly, then he would seize the time and try to capture Erlong Mountain in one fell swoop. In this way, it would be considered a real tear in the defense line of Daliang. From Erlong Mountain to Daliang City, there would be no more defenses.

The battle to capture Longmen was unexpectedly easy. The Zhao army stationed there did not expect the Qin army to launch a surprise attack at all. Even the most necessary scouts were withdrawn. This allowed Li Jianbin to succeed in one blow. Three thousand cavalry easily tore through the defense line of Daliang. After opening the defense line of Longmen, when the Qin infantry led by Ben Kuan followed up, the battle was actually no longer suspenseful. After assisting Ben Kuan to sweep left and right again and defeat the Wei army on both wings, Li Jianbin immediately led his troops to Erlong Mountain.

Ying Ying told him that the Han army's replacement troops had a half-day time difference, and now there was still a little time difference. If he was lucky enough and the opponent delayed a little more time, then Erlong Mountain would be his.

Three thousand cavalrymen swept towards Erlong Mountain like the wind. When he saw the towering mountain in the distance, Li Jianbin couldn't help but smile. Everything was under control.

But the smile was only unfolded In that instant, it froze on his face. In front of him, which was originally pitch black, torches like stars suddenly lit up. Under the light of the fire, the infantry phalanxes showed their figures one by one. Looking at the crossbows ready to be fired in front of the opposite phalanx, Li Jianbin's scalp tingled.

"Stop moving forward!" he shouted loudly.

Three thousand cavalrymen reined in their horses and inevitably there was a chaos. On the opposite side, a loud military bugle suddenly sounded, and two cavalrymen rushed out from the left and right wings. The infantrymen in the middle shouted in a low voice, pushed forward the crossbows one by one, and slowly pressed forward. The two cavalrymen and infantrymen formed an inverted triangle. shaped formation.

"The Han army has already arrived at Erlong Mountain, they are waiting for me!" Li Jianbin felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about anything. He circled his horse and turned around, fleeing in the direction he came from.

The infantry galloped in front, with a strong bow in his hand, and shot three arrows at once. With a click, the flag fluttering beside Li Jianbin broke in the middle and fell down.

The arm crossbows that had been strung were raised by the Han cavalry on their horses, and with a sharp whistle, they rained down on the retreating Qin cavalry.

Li Jianbin ran fast, and the Han army didn't really intend to chase him. The two sides came into contact for a while, and the Qin army was caught off guard and left a hundred or so corpses, and then left the battle.

When Ying Ying stepped onto the Dragon Gate At that time, he couldn't suppress his joy. This was the biggest victory he had achieved since he took charge of this army. He annihilated thousands of enemies and captured the important Longmen, cutting off the connection between Wei and Zhao. After occupying Longmen, whether it was attacking Zhao or Wei, the initiative was in his hands.

However, in addition to being happy, he was also quite confused. Li Jianbin suffered a small setback at Erlong Mountain. Afterwards, the Qin army generals reviewed the situation and came to an incredible conclusion, that is, the Han army had already arrived at Erlong Mountain. They could have assisted Longmen when the Qin army launched an attack on Longmen and thwarted the Qin army's intention to seize Longmen, but for some reason, this The Han army did not do so, and watched the Qin people annihilate the Wei-Zhao coalition and seize Longmen.

Why did the Han army do this? All the Qin army generals could not understand. The only possible explanation was that the Han army wanted to completely cut off the connection between Wei and Zhao, reduce Zhao's influence on Wei to the bottom, and lay a good foundation for their final successful annexation of Wei.

Ying Ying brought his subordinates to observe Erlong Mountain. Although it was only a short period of more than ten days, Erlong Mountain had changed greatly. The solid defense line extending from the road at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain was taking shape, and fortresses were rising from the ground. The Qin army took Longmen, but because the Han army rebuilt the defense line at Erlongshan and still connected the previous defense line into one, the only thing the Qin army gained was the convenience of attacking Zhao.

Seeing all this, Ying Ying completely believed in his previous judgment. The newly established Han State was ambitious, there was no doubt about it. They already had a vast territory, and their tentacles extended to Wei, Qi and other places. Once they conquered these two populous countries, their strength would inevitably reach a new level and become a major concern for Daqin. I believe that the father and ministers in the court also knew this.

However, based on the strategy of starting with the easy and then the difficult, Daqin It is better to target Zhao first. A dynasty that is increasingly corrupt and declining is definitely easier to deal with than a new and vigorous emerging country. What's more, Ying Ying has great confidence in Qin. After dealing with Zhao, he will compete with Han!

He looked at the gradually formed defensive fortifications on Erlong Mountain and the enemy cavalry running towards him from a distance. He snorted coldly and rode away.

In Daliang, Wu Qi was a little panicked. The news of the loss of Longmen made him completely confused. "How could this happen? How could this happen? Didn't the Han army take over the defense line? How could it be lost?"

The Han army replaced the Zhao army to take over this section of the defense line, and in the following time, more Han armies would rotate the Zhao army on the front line to rest. This was the result of his discussion with Zhou Changshou and the infantry, and it was also the result of his vigorous efforts. The result of the coordination, in Wu Qi's view, was that when Zhao Qi decided to abandon Wei and give them to Han, Zhao's army was no longer trustworthy, so they were placed on the front line facing the Qin army. , maybe there will be trouble at some point. Zhao could sell them to Han, why wouldn't he sell to Qin?

Of course Wu Qi also knew about the issue between Zhou Changshou and Zhao Qi, but in any case, Zhou Changshou was also a general of Zhao State and would not ignore orders from the Zhao State court.

But there was a huge flaw in the first defense change, and the gantry was lost.

When Zhou Changshou and the infantry appeared in front of Wu Qi one after another, Wu Qi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When he saw the two people appearing, he immediately rushed in front of them and asked, "How is Longmen? ?Have you recaptured it?" He looked at the infantry and asked.

The infantry glanced at Zhou Changshou and snorted coldly: "How to take it back? As soon as the Zhao army in Longmen heard the news of the defense change, they hurriedly packed their bags and left the defense line. Only then was the Qin army sneak attack and succeeded. When we arrived, By that time, the Qin army had already stabilized its defense line, and their cavalry was even charging towards Erlong Mountain. In a fierce battle, we repelled the Qin army's cavalry, but we also lost precious time. The Qin army had already gained a firm foothold. "

When Zhou Changshou heard this, he immediately became furious: "Infantry, don't bully me too much. According to the scheduled time, you arrived half a day late. If you arrived on time, how could Longmen be lost?"

"Fart, don't say that we are only half a day late, even if we are late for ten days and a half, you should wait until we arrive before you can leave the position. Your defense mission will not be completed until you hand over the defense line to us. Besides, "Yes, it's not our Han army's responsibility that we are late for half a day, but there is a problem with the logistics supply. Without these preparations, how can we set off?" The infantry also jumped up.

Looking at the two generals who looked at each other coldly and looked like they were going to fight at the next moment, what could Wu Qi do except smile bitterly?

"Once the dragon gate is lost, the main beam will be threatened. What should we do now? Two generals, now is not the time to blame each other, but the time to work together to overcome the difficulties!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister Wu. Although our army failed to recapture Longmen, it has built a complete line of defense at Erlong Mountain. As long as our Han army is stationed at Erlong Mountain for one day, the Qin army will never think of overstepping the barrier." The infantryman vowed.

"If that's the case, that would be great!" Wu Qi relaxed a little.

"Wu Xiang, I have something unclear. The change of defense between us and the Zhao army should be top secret. How could the Qin army catch it so accurately, even calculating that we will be half a day late?" The infantryman looked at Wu. Qi asked.

Wu Qi is also a very smart man. As soon as he heard the infantry's words, he immediately understood the meaning of his words, and his face suddenly became heavy, "You mean, there are spies of the Qin army among us?"

"There must be one, and the level is not low!" Zhou Changshou jumped to the side and said, "Otherwise the Qin army had not moved for such a long time, and suddenly it started to move, and the timing was extremely accurate. Find him, I will cut him into pieces as a sacrifice to the souls of thousands of my soldiers in heaven."

"General Zhou's words are reasonable. This time, we have lost thousands of soldiers who are accustomed to fighting. Wu Xiang, I have thought about it carefully. This time, the spy design has two aspects. The first one is In our joint command, only the people involved here can know the specific situation of our defense change. The second aspect involves the logistics supply system. Only people with high authority in this aspect can use their rights to Delay the time for us to provide our logistics. In short, Prime Minister Wu, I am afraid that your court has been severely infiltrated by the Qin army."

"Those who can serve in these two departments are all people who have been tested and loyal to Wei!" Wu Qi couldn't believe it.

The infantryman laughed and said, "Xiang Wu, you are too confident. To be blunt, with the current situation in Wei, it is understandable that some people want to find a way out."

"Check, get to the bottom of it, find these rats, I'm going to skin them!" Wu Qi took a deep breath.

"Prime Minister Wu, if your own people come to investigate, I'm afraid they won't be able to find out the reason. I'm afraid these spies are all in high positions. If you move here, everyone will know about it, so how can you investigate?" said the infantryman.

"What does General Bu mean?" Wu Qi asked.

"Let us investigate, Prime Minister Wu, our Han Dynasty's Supervisory Yuan is very good at investigating cases!" the infantryman laughed.

"How is that possible? The Han Dynasty's Oversight Council? Under what name are you investigating, General Bu? This will cause an uproar in our court!" Wu Qi shook his head repeatedly.

"Of course in the name of our joint command." The infantryman spread his hands. R1152
