Chapter 409 Withdrawal

Bai Qi took charge of the army, and a system notification sound came from Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, whose general Bai Qi has obtained the command of the Qin Dynasty camp. He will be rewarded with 50,000 battle contribution points and a 20% bonus to the battle contribution value."

Tough!

Fifty thousand battle contribution points are enough to make the eyes of other players bloodshot with envy. Battle contribution bonus means that if Ouyang Shuo gains 10,000 contribution points, he will get an additional 2,000 contribution points.

With the achievements of Shanhai City's army, Ouyang Shuo will gain another big fortune.

Immediately afterwards, there was a battle announcement.

"Battle Announcement: General Bai Qi of Shanhai City has fulfilled the hidden conditions and obtained the command of the Qin Dynasty camp. Bai Qi succeeded Zhang Han and commanded the Qin Dynasty camp's 450,000 troops and the alien army."

As soon as the announcement came out, all the lords had mixed feelings.

For the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp, they have made the right bet this time. The military god Bai Qi commands the army of this camp, which is definitely much better than Zhang Han.

The most important thing is that Bai Qi will not be constrained by the court, which is the most important thing.

After Bai Qi took charge of the army, the first military order issued was to order Wang Li's army and Zhang Han's army stationed in the tunnel to withdraw, lift the siege of Julu, and retreat to Jiyuan City.

This move was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Zhang Han was a little puzzled.

"Mr. Wu An, Wang Li's army managed to surround the giant deer, why did they withdraw?"

Bai Qi shook his head and asked, "In your opinion, can you capture the giant deer with Wang Li's army alone?"

"cannot!"

Zhang Han shook his head resolutely, if he could, he wouldn't have been around for two months without making any progress. Looking back at the Battle of Julu, there is a real behind-the-scenes hero who has been deliberately forgotten by history.

The behind-the-scenes hero is Chen Yu, Minister of Zhao.

As mentioned above, Li Liang, the general of Zhao Wang Wuchen, was insulted by Wuchen's sister, so he killed Zhao Wang Wuchen and his sister in the capital Handan in a rage.

After Zhao's ministers Zhang Er and Chen Yu escaped, Xindu in the north of Handan supported Zhao Xie, an old aristocrat, as King Zhao, and then defeated Li Liang who was chasing him.

This Chen Yu is that Chen Yu.

The real organizer of the Battle of Julu was Chen Yu.

Why do you say that? Let's take a look at what Chen Yu did during the Battle of Julu.

First, gather the remnants.

After Julu was besieged, Chen Yu actively recruited foreign aid to form an army in Hebei.

Second, communicate with Julu City.

The two ministers of Zhao Guo, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, were close friends. Zhang Er and Zhao Wang Zhao Xie were trapped in Julu. During the siege, it was Chen Yu who kept in touch with the city.

Third, communicate with Xiang Yu's army and Zhao Jun.

Xiang Yu beheaded Song Yi and sent his troops to rescue Julu. The contact between the two armies was Chen Yu.

Therefore, the core of the connection between the city and the reinforcements is Chen Yu.

With Chen Yu coordinating outside the city, it is absolutely difficult to capture Julu City with Wang Li's army alone.

As soon as Zhang Han finished speaking, before Bai Qi could explain, he frowned. Thinking about it carefully, withdrawing troops now is indeed the best choice.

Although there is an alien army joining, the Qin army can go to reinforce Wang Li's army. But don't forget that the camp of the Chu army on the other side of the Yellow River has also increased by more than 500,000 foreign troops.

Waiting for Ruo said, in order to attack Julu, the Qin army was divided into two parts.

One part is in Julu City, and the other part is in Jiyuan City.

If the two armies can link up, it will be nothing. The difficulty is that the Chu army led by Xiang Yu is stuck in the lifeline of the communication between the two armies, which is extremely uncomfortable.

It's like a snake being trampled seven inches.

Continue to attack Julu? Can't beat it in a short time. Stand firm? He also faces the threat of the Chu army at any time.

It's really hard to get off a tiger, a dilemma.

With Bai Qi commanding, although there will be no historical situation where Xiang Yu broke the boat and attacked Wang Li's army, while Zhang Han's army stood on the sidelines.

However, it is extremely difficult to defeat the anti-Qin allied forces based on this.

The two sides can only maintain an invincible and undefeated battle situation at most, and they don't know how long the confrontation will last. If you don't pay attention, you may be caught by the Chu army and caught off guard.

Therefore, after Bai Qi understood the whole battle situation, he decisively decided that the strong man cut off his wrists, gave up the siege of Julu, and instead retreated to Jiyuan City with the whole army.

This is Bai Qi, never using troops according to common sense.

Withdrawing troops is only the first step in Bai Qi's strategy, and he has further considerations.

The characteristic of Bai Qi's use of troops is that he likes to ponder, ponder his opponents, and battles thoroughly. He can often hit the nail on the head and point out the key to a battle.

Seeing that Zhang Han had already figured it out, Bai Qi went on to say: "The key to victory in this battle is the word grain and grass."

After Zhang Han conquered Handan, he searched all the grain around Handan and transported it to the base camp of Jiyuan City. Therefore, in history, Zhang Han's army was besieged for more than half a year, but still did not run out of food.

In the anti-Qin alliance, if the siege of Julu is lifted, the food and grass problem of the Chu army can be alleviated in a short period of time. It seems that the problem is not big.

In fact, the crisis lurks in the alien army.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.

The 530,000 alien army of the anti-Qin camp certainly brought a strong combat power. At the same time, it also brought an unexpected burden to the logistics of the Allied forces.

Julu City was besieged, and there was not enough food and grass in the city.

If it's just the allied army, it's okay to say that it can last for half a month, but with the addition of more than 500,000 alien legions, within a week, the allied army will run out of food.

However, in the surrounding area, there is no food for the Allied forces to plunder.

Therefore, comparing the two, the Qin army retreating to Jiyuan City was already invincible before the battle started.

At the same time, Bai Qi also had a thorough analysis of Xiang Yu's character.

With Xiang Yu's conceited character, he will never spend with Qin Jun forever. The only way out is to use Xiang Yu's best method to solve the problem, which is to forcibly attack Jiyuan City.

In this way, the Qin army has a geographical advantage.

For a time, the right time and place were on Qin Jun's side.

It has to be said that Bai Qi's plan is more than one step higher than Zhang Han's.

After Zhang Han heard this, he couldn't help but admire.

The next step is to discuss how to ensure that Wang Li's army can withdraw smoothly without being raided by the anti-Qin allied forces. In this regard, Zhang Han is experienced, so there is no need to give advice in vain.

On the first day of the battle, Bai Qi set the general tone for the entire battle.

Of course, Xiang Yu's strong individual combat power and terrifying explosive power are the biggest uncertain factors. Anyone who dares to underestimate Xiang Yu will suffer a big fall. The title of the most powerful general in the ages is not called for nothing. In history, both Wang Li and Liu Bang have suffered greatly from Xiang Yu.

The Jiangdong warriors led by Xiang Yu launched a madman, which is simply terrifying.

The battle of Julu is far from the time to draw a conclusion.

***********

In the next two days, under the escort of Zhang Han's army, Wang Li's army successfully withdrew to Jiyuan City.

Before Wang Lijun withdrew, he took away all the food in the camp. Those who could not be taken away were all burned up, and not a grain of food was left for the Allied forces.

At the same time, Xiang Yu was able to complete the reorganization of the Alien Legion.

Knowing that Wang Lijun had withdrawn, the siege of Julu was unexpectedly lifted.

Xiang Yu didn't think about it, crossed the Yellow River, and moved the whole army to Julu City.

At the same time, the 300,000 allied armies of princes who had been watching from the sidelines also entered Julu City. So far, the Battle of Julu has completely embarked on a trajectory completely different from the historical trajectory.

The two sides of the camp, each occupying a city, confront each other from the north to the south.

The specific location of Jiyuan City is Shuiya Town in the west of Anyang, where the north, south and west sides are the remaining veins of Taihang, which is shaped like a pocket, and Shuiya Town is located at the bottom of the pocket.

And Anyang City happens to be the mouth of the pocket. Although it is a pocket, it is not a Jedi.

From Shuiye Town to the west, there is a road that passes through the steep Taihang Mountains and leads directly to Linzhou, and then southward, you can enter Hanoi County, the rear of Zhanghan.

The terrain here is dangerous, with the watershed between Zhangshui and Huanshui in the north. Zhangshui and Huanshui flow out from west to east along the foot of the mountain, forming a natural barrier.

After Bai Qi took charge of the army, he arranged a large army on the front line of Jiyuan City and built three fortifications overnight. Advance one after another until they reach the base of Jiyuan City.

Although retreating to defend Jiyuan City, Bai Qi pursued an active defense strategy.

Building fortifications is Bai Qi's strong point.

At the same time, Bai Qi also roughly reorganized the 450,000 Qin army and more than 700,000 alien legions, and allocated a rough defense area.

The 150,000 Wang Li army, mainly elite light cavalry, was arranged by Bai Qi as the general reserve army, responsible for supporting and reinforcing all parts of the battlefield at any time, equivalent to a fire brigade.

There are 300,000 Zhang Han troops, of which 150,000 are stationed in Jiyuan City. The remaining 150,000 troops formed a vertical defensive chain around the three fortifications.

More than 700,000 alien legions were either arranged on the three fortifications or placed on the city wall.

Each unit has a specific defensive area.

In this way, for the Alien Legion, if they want to win the battle contribution value, they should directly confront the anti-Qin allied forces in the section they are responsible for.

If you win, you will be fruitful; if you lose, you can't blame others.

Bai Qi's arrangement minimized the contradictions and confrontations within the Alien Legion.

Regarding this arrangement, the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp had nothing to say, and completely dispelled their doubts. Bai Qi is in charge of the army. Before that, the lords had no doubts that Bai Qi would have a special preference for the Shanhai League.

Facts have proved that they are just using the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman.

Bai Qi truly treated everyone equally.

The only weird thing was that the three thousand feather forest guards led by Ouyang Shuo disappeared in Jiyuan City while taking advantage of the chaos.

From then on, until the end of the battle, the lords of the Qin Dynasty camp never saw Ouyang Shuo again. Disappearing with him, there are also Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Prison and Huang.

Although the lords were puzzled about this, they didn't take it to heart.

As long as the army of Shanhai City is still sticking to Jiyuan City, the rest will not be a problem. In such a big war, the role of the lord is minimal.
