Chapter 870 Zhao Kuo Begins Attack

Huangfu Chaobo's words made Bai Qi and the other two fall into deep thought. It was very likely that Zhao Kuo had already known their strategic intentions. So how to deal with it next was indeed a very important question.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "As Feng Xiao said, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, so I decided not to change the layout. However, Huangfu Junhou's suggestion is not wrong. No matter how Zhao Kuo responds, Sima Geng's army must increase its strength. General Wang Ling!"

"I will not be here!" Wang Ling saw this and responded with a fist;

"You will return to the right army camp immediately and draw 10,000 soldiers from the foreign troops. I will draw 10,000 elite soldiers from Sima Geng's left army headquarters. The 20,000 troops will quickly and lightly support Sima Geng. At the same time, send him an order that if Changping Pass cannot be captured, then set up a barrier behind the pass and nail it there until my order arrives!" Bai Qi ordered coldly;

"I will not obey the order!" Wang Ling hurriedly obeyed the order and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, he remembered something and returned. He handed Bai Qi a Zhuge Liannu in his hand and introduced the crossbow in detail.

After listening to Wang Ling's introduction, Bai Qi and Wang He's eyes lit up. While Wang Ling introduced the crossbow machine, he also talked about the situation of several elite troops in the alien army. After listening to Wang Ling's introduction, Bai Qi and Wang He looked at Huangfu Chaobo with even more different eyes.

After a brief contemplation, Bai Qi said: "Huangfu Junhou, I hereby appoint you as a general and put all the elite soldiers of the foreigners under your command. In the next battle, your troops will be commanded by General Wang Ling!"

Huangfu Chaobo was overjoyed and hurried forward to receive the order: "I will obey the order!"

Then, Bai Qi said: "General Wang Ling, except for the 10,000 soldiers supporting Sima Geng and Huangfu Chaobo's troops, all other soldiers will be transferred to the first line of defense to cooperate with the soldiers of the front army. Then, 30,000 elite soldiers from the first line of defense will be transferred to the central army to increase the strength of the counterattack army."

Wang He and Wang Ling's eyes lit up. Since these foreign soldiers were not strong, it was just right to transfer some of the elite soldiers of the front army headquarters and keep them for use in the counterattack, and use these soldiers to lure the Zhao army to attack.

Huangfu Chaobo secretly smacked his lips. Tens of thousands of players and their troops were used as cannon fodder by Bai Qi. Fortunately, his 4,000 elite troops were assigned to Wang Ling's command. It seems that they will be deployed in the Xiaodongcang River Valley position between Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain.

However, this is also a meat grinder. . .

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but feel a headache.

In Bai Qi's eyes, there is only victory. The elite troops of the Qin Dynasty are regarded as nothing, not to mention the tens of thousands of alien troops that fell from the sky. However, when leaving the general's mansion, Huangfu Chaobo received a personal system prompt, saying that his suggestion was accepted by the commander of the Qin Army, and the player influenced the battle situation and received a reward of 50,000 copy points.

This news made Huangfu Chaobo overjoyed. You must know that the rewards for the copy task, in addition to the famous general card given by the general in the copy, there are also points rewards for killing enemies. At the end of the copy task, the copy points can be exchanged for various reward items.

According to the copy settings, players get one point for each ordinary soldier killed in the copy, five points for the sergeant, ten points for the squad leader, and so on. The points earned by the soldiers and horses commanded by the players are directly counted as the players' personal points. For example, Huangfu Chaobo was appointed as a general, and 10% of the points earned by the soldiers and horses he commanded will be counted as his personal points.

Before the war started, Huangfu Chaobo had already killed 50,000 enemies. How could he not be overjoyed?

In the next few days, everything went on step by step as it had at the beginning. It seemed that the addition of 200,000 players and soldiers had no effect on the war. In fact, the real situation was that, as Guo Jia said, both sides had made a lot of preparations, and the arrows were on the string and had to be fired. Now they could not allow them to make too many changes to their layout, whether it was Zhao Kuo or Bai Qi.

On the 16th day of the seventh lunar month in the 55th year of King Nan of Zhou (260 BC), the Zhao army, which had been silent for several years, finally broke out. Of the 580,000 Zhao troops, 20,000 stayed in the Xuanshi Central Army Camp, 80,000 stayed in the rear army food and grass camp, and 30,000 supported the Baili Stone Great Wall. Only 50,000 troops were left to defend the Zhao army barrier on the east bank of the Dan River, which was dozens of miles long. The remaining 400,000 troops were like tigers descending from the mountains, launching a tidal attack on the Qin army barrier on the west bank of the Dan River.

The Qin army on the west bank of the Dan River had already made preparations. Under the strict order of the Central Army, they fought desperately, making the Zhao army's attack extremely difficult, and every step forward required a huge price. However, under Bai Qi's deliberate arrangement, the number of Qin troops on the first line of barriers was not large. In addition to the 50,000 Qin soldiers, there were 15,000 soldiers and horses under Huangfu Chaobo's unit and 10,000 players and horses transferred to support Sima Geng's unit, a total of 40,086 players and soldiers.

The Qin barrier, which was defended by nearly 100,000 soldiers, caused huge losses to the 400,000 Zhao troops. The 60,000 Zhao troops were almost wiped out, and the 100,000 elite troops were almost lost, but the gains were also huge. In Zhao Kuo's view, although he lost 150,000 troops, he had broken through the Qin defense line. The 100,000 troops on the front line were almost wiped out by him in one battle, and the Qin barrier had been completely broken.

Next, the army began to attack Guanglang City, where the Qin army was located. In Zhao Kuo's view, being able to reach Guanglang City, where the Qin army was located, the loss of 150,000 troops was worth it.

Qin's morale will surely drop sharply after losing all its barriers. Guanglang City can only accommodate 80,000 to 100,000 troops, and they still have 250,000 elite troops. They can attack with victory and win in one go.

At this time, in Guanglang City, Qin generals asked their leader Wang He for battle. Seeing that the Zhao army was about to capture the first line of barriers, the general was still unwilling to send troops to counterattack, which made all the generals anxious.

A deputy general pleaded: "General, the Zhao army is so arrogant, when can we fight?"

Wang He shook his head and said nothing, indicating that the army should hold the camp and not send troops to fight.

Another general said: "General, why don't you send troops to rescue the barriers in front, and why did our army suffer heavy losses!"?

Wang He did not answer. No matter what, the Qin army did suffer heavy losses, and he, the leader, could not escape the blame.

The general then said, "If the general is timid, I am willing to lead an army to meet the enemy." After that, he made a tent and led the troops to support. The other generals were also ready to move, looking at Wang He, as long as he did not object, they were ready to lead the troops to fight with this general.
