"kill--!"
Accompanied by a shocking shout, Zhao general Lianpo led an unknown number of Zhao cavalry and Zhao infantry to the garrison of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
For a moment, the Qin and Wei coalition troops were in chaos. As soon as many Wei soldiers walked out of the tent yawned, they saw a group of vicious Zhao troops coming in. They were panicked and had no power to stop them.
"Zhao Army! Zhao Army is here!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Stop them! Block them!"
"Report to the Grand Sima and Fang Cheng Order quickly!"
Looking at the panic of the Wei soldiers, the morale of the Zhao soldiers was greatly boosted, and they instantly killed the nearby Wei soldiers and retreated step by step.
Seeing this, Lian Po, the generals who led these Zhao army, showed a smile on his face of success in his plan.
"Sure enough! Sure enough, the Qin and Wei coalition forces were not prepared..."
After being proud of himself, Lian Po looked around and shouted loudly: "Don't be in love with the battle, follow Lian Po, let's go straight in! Go to the central army of the Qin and Wei coalition forces!"
"Whoa whoa--!"
Countless Zhao soldiers shouted in unison, followed Lian Po and rushed straight to the hinterland of the Qin and Wei coalition troops.
At the same time, Meng Zhong was still lying in the tent in the Zhongjun Camp area.
A moment later, his guard suddenly walked into the tent quickly and woke Meng Zhong who was still sleeping lightly: "City Order, City Order."
“Hmm?”
Hearing the sound, Meng Zhong immediately opened his eyes and subconsciously fucked the sword on the side of the straw cage with his left hand. After seeing clearly that the person was his Guard Lechen, he let out a breath and rubbed his eyes that were still sleepy with his hands.
After the ambush Zhao Jun last night, he lay on the straw couch to predict Zhao Jun's actions. It took him a long time to fall asleep in a daze. Now is the time when he is the most sleepy.
But at this time, Le Chen said: "There was a noise coming from the city order, and there was a faint sound of war. I don't know what happened."
“…”
Meng Zhongzheng rubbed his sore eyebrow bones with his right hand, and suddenly he paused when he heard this.
He picked up the water bag placed next to the straw cuff, poured the clear water inside on his forehead, and then patted his cheek with both hands.
The clear and cool water immediately woke him much more. He walked out of the tent quickly and looked to the east of the station with a frown.
As Le Chen said, there was a faint noise coming from the east of the station at this moment. It seemed that there were many people shouting loudly over there, but because they were far away, Meng Zhong couldn't hear it sincerely.
"City Order, do you want to send someone to check what happened in Dongying?"
Koma Lechen asked.
Meng Zhong nodded slightly and continued to frown and look towards Dongying District.
He hoped that the soldiers of the Qin and Wei armies in the camp did something stupid, such as a fool accidentally lit the tent while cooking - don't doubt that there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and even among the Qin and Wei armies, there are not such idiots.
But the instinct in his heart told him that the Qin and Wei coalition forces were attacked by the Zhao army.
『Actually…』
Meng Zhong looked up at the sky that was about to be completely bright, and a strange look appeared on his face.
Of course, he would not forget the sneak attack before dawn that he used this trick to deal with the army of the royal army when he was in Zhao State. Unexpectedly, the Zhao army actually used this trick to him this time.
I have to say that Meng Zhong speculated that Zhao army might come to attack at night last night. After the prediction failed, he also tended to attack at night tonight, but he really didn't expect that Zhao army actually chose to copy the strategy he had used and chose to attack at night early the next morning.
『…It’s not Zhao Xi. Although Zhao Xi may not have thought of this move, he may not have the courage. It’s Lian Po…』
The face of Zhao General Lianpo immediately appeared in Meng Zhong's mind.
In his impression, Lian Po had both strategy and courage. Although he was the subordinate of Fengyang Jun Li Dui, he was indeed a rare general.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhong ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send orders to Chen Yang, Wei Gang and others to order all the soldiers to withdraw from the garrison, gather soldiers outside the garrison, and encircle the Zhao army's retreat routes that came to attack the camp.... Immediately send orders to Le Jin and immediately lead Fangcheng army out of the camp. Since the Zhao army is coming to attack the camp, there must be a supportive army outside the camp. Stop this army for me!... Immediately send people to send orders Jin Kuang, Changchi, Wu Rong, Zheng Yin, Fan Bu and other Qin generals to order the generals to gather at the food and grass..."
In just a short moment, Meng Zhong calmly issued more than a dozen general orders, sending all the guards around him, leaving only Le Chen to protect him.
At this time, Le Chen had already realized the current situation from the order Meng Zhong issued just now, and asked a little uneasy: "City Order, is the Zhao army coming to attack the camp? What should I do?"
"What's the matter?" Meng Zhong said calmly: "There are my 130,000 troops here. Even if the Zhao army in Taoyi is in full swing, our army may not be able to take action later!"
As he said that, he quickly walked towards Dongying District.
It is true that he did not expect that Zhao Jun would choose to come and attack at dawn. Although this was Meng Zhong's misunderstanding, he was not panicked.
Although he successfully attacked the King's Army with this move, he should know that one time and another. Before using this move, he first used a tired military strategy to make the soldiers of the King's Army sleepless all night and were tired during the day. Then he saw the right time and led the Xin Guard into the King's Army's camp in one fell swoop.
However, what is the situation now? The soldiers of the Qin and Wei coalition forces have not been exhausted much. Even though the surprise soldiers led by Lian Po seized the initiative, considering that the Qin and Wei coalition forces had more than 100,000, during the Zhao army's breakthrough in the camp, Meng Zhong had enough time to mobilize the army and quietly surrounded the Zhao army's surprise soldiers.
Of course, Meng Zhong was so calm, it did not mean that the other Simas of the Wei army could be so calm.
For example, Chen Yang, Wei Geng and several other military Simas.
Especially Chen Yang, he and his troops were stationed in Dongying District. The first thing Zhao General Lianpo attacked was his camp.
When the Zhao army was storming in, the army Sima was still resting on the couch. After being woken up by the guards, he heard that the Zhao army had entered the garrison. He was stunned and at a loss.
In short, the Sima of the Army did not help the chaotic situation in Dongying District. He just stared at the Zhao army who were chasing his soldiers in the camp with horror.
And at this moment, Meng Zhong's guards rushed here and ordered Chen Yang: "Chen Sima, Meng Sima has an order, and order you to lead your army out of the garrison immediately and reorganize the army outside the garrison!"
When he heard that Meng Zhong did not ask him to resist, but asked him to lead the army defeated by the Zhao army to withdraw from the base. Chen Yang did not hesitate at all. He immediately shouted and sent an order, ordering all the soldiers under his command in the camp to evacuate.
Seeing that the Wei army under Chen Yang was defeated and fleeing in all directions, the Zhao army led by Lian Po was very proud and immediately rushed towards the central army.
The road to the Central Army requires passing through the Wei army's extravagant camp of Sima and Wei.
It has to be said that although Chen Yang and his troops almost did nothing to resist the Zhao army, they also bought some time. At least Wei Geng received the incident that happened to Chen Yang in time and immediately summoned his soldiers.
But even so, his soldiers were unable to stop the Zhao army's raid due to hasty response.
Just as Wei Gau gritted his teeth and was about to defend this place, a guard sent by Meng Zhong suddenly ordered him to say: "Wei Sima, Meng Sima ordered you to immediately lead your troops out of the garrison, reorganize the troops outside the garrison, and launch an encirclement from behind the Zhao army."
After hearing this order, Wei Chuang was puzzled: "Why? Fang Cheng Ling immediately asked me to lead my army out of the garrison."
The children of Mengyi who came to pass the orders were not very good at speaking, and copied Meng Zhong's original words and said: "Fang Chengling believes that the army under Wei Sima may not be able to block this Zhao army. Considering that the Qin army may immediately send people to reinforce, the Qin and Wei armies were mixed in command, and the soldiers on both sides were not familiar with each other, which may affect each other's battle. Therefore, Wei Sima would still lead the army to withdraw from the camp and try to encircle the Zhao army's retreat."
Such disrespectful words made Wei Gang blush. After all, Meng Zhong's words were almost equivalent to saying that he was in the way.
However, he was also self-aware that he and his army might not be able to block the Zhao army. Instead of causing trouble for the Qin army, it would be better to retreat outside the garrison to reorganize the army and encircle the Zhao army's retreat.
Thinking of this, he nodded helplessly and issued an order to withdraw the entire army from the camp.
In fact, to be fair, Meng Zhong looked down on the army led by Wei Chu, but Meng Zhong estimated the speed of the Zhao army's surprise attack and believed that Wei Chu should not have enough time to face the Zhao army in the best condition. Instead of responding to the battle hastily and being defeated by the Zhao army, it would be better to withdraw outside the camp to reorganize the army.
Anyway, the Qin and Wei coalition forces had more than 100,000 people, so it would not be that Wei Geng's army would be defeated by the Zhao army because of the lack of Chen Yang. In fact, even if the Wei army evacuated, as long as the Qin army was given enough reaction time, the Qin army would be enough to defend the garrison.
With a command, the Wei army under Wei Chu retreated quickly, which made Lian Po, who was leading the Zhao army to fight on the front line, frowned.
Previously, the troops under the command of Wei general Chen Yang were evacuated, which was easy to understand. After all, Chen Yang's army had been defeated by his Zhao army. However, the Wei army here obviously had the power to resist, but for some reason he evacuated outward, which made Lian Po realize something was wrong.
"...Are you already commanding the troops?"
Lian Po frowned and glanced around, then fixed his eyes on the central camp of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
He didn't know who was commanding the army for the time being, but he could be sure that the senior generals of the Wei army were already commanding the army, either Zhai Zhang or Meng Zhong.
At this time, Zhao Zun beside him said happily: "Sima, look, the Wei army ahead has retreated, and our army can kill directly to the army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Zhao Zhuang smiled and said, "Haha, it turns out that these Wei soldiers seemed arrogant and unexpectedly they were so vulnerable!"
"Vulnerable? Really?"
Lian Po frowned and looked at the Wei army who was evacuating from both sides, looking at the empty space, as if someone was sending him a message: Are you coming to the Central Camp? Come, come over quickly.
"Kill--"
"Kill the Central Camp!"
Countless Zhao soldiers shouted and rushed to the central camp of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
At this time, Lian Po stood there with a long spear, looking at the Wei army who had retreated to the distance thoughtfully.
He instinctively felt that he was like entering a pocket at this moment. Although the Wei army on the southeast sides were killed by them for a moment before, the Zhao army did not cause too much casualties to these Wei army in order to save time, which means that it only takes a short period of time that these Wei army can reorganize the array, and in turn form a double-team for the Zhao army led by him.
"Sima, something is not right."
At this time, Deputy General Zheng Shen came to Lian Po and said in a low voice: "These Wei troops still have the ability to resist, but for some reason they evacuated to the southeast sides, as if they were luring our army into its hinterland, and suspected that there was a fraud in it."
“…”
Lian Po breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "You mean, the opposite side may deliberately lure our army into its hinterland, and then encircle the rear of our army, and put the buns on all sides?"
"It's not impossible." Zheng Shen said seriously: "For the sake of safety, it's better for our army to retreat."
"Retreat?" Lian Po frowned and said, "This time our army attacked the Qin and Wei coalition forces, and neither severely damaged the enemy's food and grass. You actually said to retreat?" After that, he looked at the battlefield in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This time, our army used Meng Zhong's strategy to attack the Wei army. If we cannot severely damage the enemy and burn the enemy's food and grass this time, then there will be no next chance..."
Yes, as smart as Meng Zhong, he would not have expected anyone to use the strategies he had used to deal with them. This is why Lian Po firmly believes that this sneak attack will be successful. But what about this time? Then, can Meng Zhong use similar strategies to plot against him again after being prepared?
Lian Po was unsure.
Although he was not convinced, he had to admit that in terms of strategy and military use, Meng Zhong on the opposite side was indeed above him. He was worthy of being Yicai, the father of Zhao, who was originally the man who would serve as the guardian of Jinyang in Zhao State.
