Chapter 22 Attack (4)

At several passes in the Taihang Mountains from Duan to Daicheng, beacons have ignited.

In order to cover the two raid troops led by Li Min and Rong Yan, Chang Guojun led the main force of the Yan army and began to attack the pass guarded by the Zhao army.

In one day, with the attack of several large armies of Yan State, Daijun, which borders Shanggu, Yan State, was silent for many years, broken, and wars were ignited in many places.

On the 22nd day, noon.

A large number of Yan troops rushed into a fortress in Dai County, Zhao State.

On a hillside outside the fortress, Rong Yan put down the telescope in his hand and burst into laughter.

Fang Hai, the deputy general next to Rongyan, also smiled on his face and said to Rongyan:

"General, the Zhao army in this fortress did not expect that our army would appear here. After this fortress was taken down, our army could not only attack the Zhao army that blocked our main army, but also to reinforce our army in Daicheng to the west."

Rong Yan, covered in dust, nodded and excitedly said to the other side:

"Hmph! Since our army has crossed the Taihang Mountains, the initiative is in the hands of our army. Dai County can be dispatched today."

Speaking of this, Rong Yan said with emotion:

"It would be best if Li Min led his army to not conquer Daicheng. If Daicheng is asked to conquer Daicheng, it would be the best."

After saying that, Rong Yan was full of longing and began to laugh again.

Fang Hai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

As the commander of a military army, is this appropriate for you to say?

But Rong Yan's personality is like this, and Fang Hai is too lazy to pay attention to him.

Li Min was standing on the wall of Dai City at this time, looking at the ancient city with a long history under her feet. The battle to attack and replace the city was over, and thick smoke was also emitting in many places in the city, but the fire had been extinguished by the Yan army and the people.

Wang Youde, covered in blood, and brought a few people to Li Min and reported to Li Min:

"Qi reported to General, Daicheng has been occupied by our army."

Then he turned around, pointed to the injured people behind him, and introduced to Li Min:

"General, this is Liu Qi, the head of intelligence in Daicheng City. This is the General who opened the East Gate, this..."

After Wang Youde finished introducing it, Liu Qi and several others bowed to Li Min and said, "See General."

Li Min quickly bowed and bowed back and said:

"You don't have to do this. It is your merit to be able to win Daicheng so smoothly."

Wang Youde, who was beside Li Min, opened his mouth and smiled:

"General, after our army occupied Daicheng, we had already made the Zhao army, which intercepted our main army in the front row, and made "dumplings". Our army occupied the entire Dai County, just around the corner."

The pasta food "dumplings" has become the favorite of the people of Yan because of the words "the best food is dumplings" by the king. Now in Yan State, during festivals, weddings and funerals, "dumplings" have become a must-have for the people.

Wang Youde used the word "making dumplings" to describe the current situation of Yan and Zhao armies in Daijun. It is very appropriate.

At this time, a major desecrated naval major came to report: "Report, General, our army has killed 316 people, injured 587 people, and captured 2,372 enemies."

When Li Min and others heard this, their faces became solemn.

Looking at the thick smoke still emitting in the city and listening to the faint crying sounds coming from the city, Li Min didn't speak for a long time.

Attacking the city is the shortcoming of the navy. Fortunately, Liu Qi and other intelligence personnel responded in this battle and opened the city gate. If the navy attacked alone, the number of casualties would inevitably be greater.

Before coming to Daicheng, I heard that the domestic military engineer and armor research institute was studying what a "paper armor" is based on the characteristics of the navy's war. It is light and very strong, comparable to steel armor.

If this so-called "paper armor" can be studied, then the navy's shortcomings in siege will be completely filled. In the future, the navy will not only be able to fight naval and water, but also be able to fight land to attack cities.

After a long time, Li Min said to the major despised:

"Crench these brothers who died in battle, and then transport them back to the country."

"No." The navy repelled the major and took the order to get up and left.

By the time the sun sets, the entire Dai City has settled.

Because the Yan army attacked Dai City quickly, the granaries, workshops, and many warehouses in the city were intact. The injured soldiers, including the injured soldiers of the Zhao army, were placed in a clean camp and started treatment.

The Yan army had already smelled the fragrance of food in various camps in the city.

In the Daihou Mansion, Li Min took two steps forward and helped the Dai army who was preparing to worship him: "Daihou should not do this. If our army can occupy Daicheng, Daihou should be the first to be the master. I will report to the king and ask for the Daihou for the master."

Dai Bing, who heard Li Min's words, had already smiled into a crack on his eyes on his fat face.

"Oh! The general has a great reputation and proper command, so he occupied Dai City. I followed the will of heaven and assisted my benevolent army. How could I make any contribution? The general is too proud."

After the words of the Bian Bing, he stretched out his fat right hand and bowed to Li Min, Wang Youde and other Yan generals, and said:

"My generals, I'll beg you for a short banquet. I'll invite you all the generals!"

Li Min and others bowed and bowed back and said, "Thank you, Dahou. Dahou, please!"

The news of Daicheng's occupation reached the Zhao army's front and front, and the entire Zhao army completely collapsed.

The rear was occupied by the Yan army, so how could I fight this battle?

After fully communicating with the envoy sent by Chang Guojun Le, all the officers and soldiers of the Zhao army set down their weapons and collectively surrendered to the Yan army.

In the following days, Lejian led the main army to Daicheng.

After Lejian arrived at Dai City, he did not immediately lead his army to the south, but sent people to send edicts to various cities and towns of Dai County to surrender to Yan State. Except for the two counties who were unwilling to surrender, all other counties all surrendered to the Yan army.

The two cities that were unwilling to surrender to Yan State were later captured by the Yan army.

At this point, the 16 counties including Pingshu (now Pingcheng Township, Shilixi, West of Guangling County, Shanxi), Dangcheng (now Huangmei Township, Weixian County, Hebei), Sangqian (now northeast of Weixian County, Hebei), and Banshi (now southeast of Datong, Shanxi), were all included in the territory of Yan State.

On February 26, in Jinyang County, Zhao State, Langmengcheng (now Yangqu County, Shanxi Province).

In the conference hall, General Le Cheng of Zhao State sat upright in the main seat, his face extremely gloomy.

In the lower head of Le Cheng in the hall, there were many Zhao generals accompanying him, as well as the guardian Xu Kai, the Lang Mengcheng.

Le Cheng led his army of 50,000 to Langmeng and then turned to the north. Not long after he left the city, he received the military information sent back from Dai County. Dai City had been captured by the Yan army.

Under such circumstances, reinforcement of Dai County has no effect at all.

Le Cheng had no choice but to lead his army back to Lang Meng and gathered the generals to discuss the next countermeasures.

The intention of Yan State is very clear. Since it occupied Dai County, it will definitely go south and conquer Jinyang in the next step.

The generals of Zhao State in the hall were under great pressure.

Xu Kai looked at Le Cheng sitting on the head, feeling very complicated.

In order to lift the siege of Handan, Yan State traveled through Jingxing and came to Langmeng.

The general Xu Kai of the Lang Meng of the State of Yan, and the generals such as Rongyan and Zuozong were very happy to interact.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, we will soon meet these people on the battlefield.

Many Zhao army generals here are still unclear about the combat power of the Yan army, but Xu Kai knows it very well.

If Dai County is not lost, the Zhao army could still fight against the Yan army with the mountains and terrain of Dai County.

But the most important thing at the moment is that Dai County has been lost. From Dai City to Langmeng, the entire basin plain. The Taihang Mountains in the eastern part of Jinyang have been completely broken by the Yan army. How can this battle be fought?

Xu Kai was still very welcome to Le Chengneng leading a 50,000 army to Langmeng. Otherwise, he would have only a few thousand people under him, and it would be impossible to stop the Yan army's more than 200,000 army.

After Le Cheng came to Langmeng, the current Langmeng City gathered in Langmeng City. The nearly 60,000 Zhao army was strong. Even if the Yan army was strong, tens of thousands of Zhao troops could not fight in one battle with the reliance on Langmeng City.

Before the meeting began, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall.

"Report." A Zhao army scout came in from outside the hall.

After entering the conference hall, the scout came to the front and knelt on one knee to report:

"Qi reported to the general, just probing horses and sending news from Dai County, Lejian led the main force of the Yan army and has entered Dai City."

"I understand." Le Cheng frowned.

"Does the Yan army move south?" Le Cheng asked.

"General, after the Yan army has entered Daicheng, there is no movement to go south for the time being."

This scout bowed and reported.

"You can send more people to inquire about the movements of the Yan army in Daicheng. Once you find out that the Yan army is heading south, you can report it."

Le Cheng ordered in the head of the emperor.

"No." The scout stood up and left.

Le Cheng glanced at the Zhao army generals in the lower hall and said:

"I know that my cousin is using troops, and I have always been a steady and steady battle. Now that the Yan army has occupied Daicheng and has a relatively strong force, the army will only move south after the Dai County is stable."

"Dear generals, no matter what, the Yan army will definitely go south to attack me Langmeng and Jinyang. The battle between our army and the Yan army is inevitable. How should our army deal with it? Everyone, please speak freely and say it."
