I’m The King Chapter 1230: : Carry forward the past and open up the future (one hundred and twenty) to advance as a retreat

Standing on the top of Changping City, He Lanyan's mouth was pouted high, with a look of annoyance on her face, she lost the bet with Gao Yuan.

After one night, the Qin army, which was still desperately attacking yesterday, died down and retreated to the camp, without the slightest intention of attacking again. On the battlefield full of sores, only Zhao Jun was left busy.

The first line of defense has already been completely breached, the trenches have been filled, the parapets and fortresses have been pulled down, and the defense lines constructed by Zhao Jun have been wiped out. However, with the retreat of the Qin Army, Zhao Jun began to rearrange these defense lines, Although there are only some simple obstacles for the time being, if Zhao Jun is given a few days, these places will be revived.

"It doesn't make sense!" It's not just He Lanyan who doesn't understand, Zhao Xilie, Li Mingjun and others also don't understand the &pig&pig&dao&novel{www}.{zhuzhu}{}.{}, originally they already Prepared to meet the more violent attack of the Qin people today, but without warning, the Qin army stopped the attack. "How did Your Majesty predict that the Qin army would stop attacking today?" Zhao Xilie just found out about the bet between He Lanyan and Gao Yuan.

"Guess." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "Qin's army stopped attacking, and for us, we got a good respite. Take the time to restore the position and adjust the deployment."

Seeing Gao Yuan dragging the reluctant He Lanyan away, Zhao Xilie's eyes became even more confused, guess what? Certainly not, as the lord of a country, how could Gao Yuan be so irresponsible to speculate on the other party's actions by guessing? There must be factors that he doesn't know, but this is no longer his concern.

After several days of onslaught, the Qin army with higher combat effectiveness caused heavy casualties to the Zhao army on the front line. Zhao Che's city defense army at the forefront suffered more than half of the casualties. They basically lost their combat effectiveness and had to be withdrawn for repairs. , Li Mingjun's troops pushed to the front, ready to meet the second wave of attacks that would be launched at some point.

Not only did General Zhao not understand, but General Qin also did not understand Lu Chao's order to suspend the attack.

When Xu Yahua walked into Lu Chao's Chinese army tent. His face was very ugly. The frontline attack was commanded by him alone, and the progress made after paying heavy casualties was wiped out because of an order from the Chinese army. As the Qin army withdrew, he could imagine that when he appeared in Changping City again, he would face another well-defended fortress. This will cause Qin Jun to bleed more.

"General, what is this all about?" Xu Yahua's face was filled with anger. Because this order is completely contrary to the most basic quality of a military commander, and Lu Chao obviously does not belong to this type of person, then there must be other factors in it.

"Sit down!" Lu Chao pointed to the chair in front of him, and calmly motioned Xu Yahua to sit down. "How do you feel after fighting with Zhao Jun for the past few days?"

"The combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is just that, but they have received the assistance of the Han army, and they have an absolute advantage in long-range suppression, which makes our casualties very large." Xu Yahua said.

"Yes. Our casualties are not small. This is the first line of defense. The closer we are to Changping City, the more intense the resistance will be. General Xu, you have calculated that even with the current standard of casualties, we have to take Go down to Changping City. How many casualties will there be?" Lu Chao asked.

"This?" Xu Yahua really didn't count.

"I have calculated that it is between 20,000 and 30,000 people. This is still the case that no reinforcements from the Han army have arrived. We will fight alone with the Zhao army and the price we must pay to wipe out the Zhao army." Lu Chao Smiling: "Are you willing to pay the price?"

Xu Yahua was dumbfounded. "General, if this is the case, what is the purpose of our sending troops this time?" From Lu Chao's words, he actually heard a completely different meaning from the previous sending out of troops.

"It would be great if Gao Yuan drank that glass of poisoned wine that day!" Lu Chao said regretfully, "Unfortunately, this martial artist has become so cunning now."

Hearing Lu Chao's sigh, Xu Yahua didn't take it seriously. It would be too ridiculous for Gao Yuan to be killed like this. It was a ridiculous plan, but the result, of course, was not unexpected to him, and it failed, adding to the laughing stock.

"What is the purpose? Naturally there is a purpose." Lu Chao smiled slightly, but changed the subject, "Our Fan Shoufu is about to arrive at Hangu Pass, and he is here to work in the army."

Hearing Lu Chao's teasing words, Xu Yahua frowned slightly.

"Mingtai is also accompanying me."

Hearing the newly appointed commander of the Black Ice Terrace, Xu Yahua was startled: "It's nothing more than the chief assistant coming to work in the army. What does this guy from Mingtai mean by running here? General, will he..."

Lu Chao waved his hand, "Don't think too much, I have to go back to greet you when the first assistant arrives at Hangu Pass. After I leave, you will have full command here, but what you have to do is not to attack, but to do something else." One thing."

Draw out a blueprint from under the big case, "Start building a new line of defense with Lubin at the core."

Unfolding the blueprint in hand, a familiar feeling emerges spontaneously. "This is?"

"This is the defense system map of the Han army. We obtained it through some relationships before. This is the standard system map issued by their army. When it comes to each general, he will make corresponding adjustments according to his own characteristics. Change. These days, what we are attacking is a whole set of fortress defense systems strengthened with this as a template."

"With this, we will get twice the result with half the effort when we attack." Xu Yahua was overjoyed, but also a little puzzled why Lu Chao didn't take it out before.

"Knowing it is one thing, but fighting it is another." Lu Chao shook his head, "Although Changping's defense system was also born out of this blueprint, it has changed a lot. You know, these systems It was built entirely by Gao Yuan, and Changping was even built under his command, if you attack according to this map, you may suffer a loss." Looking towards Changping, for war, the one on the opposite side Guy, but it is hard to match in the world.

"Why did we build such a fortress?" Xu Yahua asked incomprehensibly.

"Because soon, we will switch from the offensive side to the defensive side." Lu Chao said: "I have seen it very clearly these days. To win Changping, the price we have to pay is that we cannot Accept it, the reinforcements from the Han Kingdom will arrive in a short time, so we will switch to defense, with Lubin as the core and Hangu Pass as the base camp, I will build a piece of our own in Jinyang Fortress position. Keep the enemy out of the country."

"Long-term war?" Xu Yahua changed color.

"Get ready for this." Lu Chao nodded.

"Yes, but what is this for?" Xu Yahua didn't understand what it was for.

"Why?" Lu Chao pondered for a moment, "General Xu, you are from the old general Meng Tian. You are a standard soldier, and it is your duty to obey orders, so there are some things that I don't want you to know. , but you need to understand one thing. Everything I do is for the good of everyone, and also for your own good. The ultimate purpose of war is for politics, and war is always for the sake of politics. When it comes to politics, not only It’s only an external enemy. Challenges from within are sometimes more terrifying than external enemies. You should also know in your heart how old General Meng passed away. You also know how many Mongolian generals have been purged out in the past few years .”

Lu Chao paused, and said directly: "I can tell you very bluntly, if you were not with me, the best ending for you now is to be an apartment in Xianyang."

Xu Yahua shook his body, and in the other army led by Zhou Yu that Meng Tian had sent out, a large number of the original Mongolian generals were purged and replaced by officers from Xuanyiwei, the royal family's own army.

"A general without soldiers is nothing." Lu Chao stood up, "Do as I say, I'm going back to Hangu Pass soon, and there are no new orders to issue Before that, you concentrated on the matter at hand."

"Yes, General." Xu Yahua stood up and nodded.

"The focus is on building Lubin, but we must maintain a moderate level of attack on Changping. A battle will be fought every few days. Of course, I don't need to teach you how to fight." Lu Chao laughed. .

"The subordinate understands." Xu Yahua nodded. Naturally, it was thunder and snow, and the rain was light. He had already glimpsed Lu Chao's intentions. This war has become a method used by General Lu to carry out political struggles.

There is a faint pain in my heart~IndoMTL.com~Xu Yahua thinks of those soldiers who fell in front of Zhao Jun's position these days. Thinking about something else. But this kind of sting was only a flash. What Lu Chao said about the Mongolian general hurt him. A high-level Mongolian general like him can still control the army on the front line. The only one left.

Lu Chao left the barracks with his personal guard battalion, and ran all the way towards Hangu Pass. Xu Yahua, who sent him out of the camp, watched the back that was gradually going away, but his heart was even more worried. Daqin is now It is already stormy, but the chief assistant in power and the general in charge of the army have their own calculations. Is this a sign that the country will not be a country?

What happened to Fan Sui coming to Hangu Pass at this time? I hope the two of them can reach a happy agreement, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Taking Lu Bin as the center, he built a defensive position in front of Hangu Pass. It seems that the general had already planned everything before the expedition. This battle was not just for the court to see, or the general wanted to attract the Han army to form a confrontation with the Qin army. Only during the war, the general's status will rise sharply, and he will become a leader. The country relies on the most important people, and all policies will revolve around the army and war.

Xu Yahua shivered, turned around and strode back to the camp. (to be continued...)
