Chapter 264 Shocking Mystery

There is also a registration point in Guanglang City, and a captain of the Qin Army is in charge of registration.

After registering, Ouyang Shuo did not leave immediately, he said, "May I ask the general, how is the current battle going?"

When the captain was registering, he knew that the strangers in front of him were leading a total of 10,000 troops, so he did not ignore Ouyang Shuo's question, and simply replied: "Mr. Behind the Great Wall, Changping Pass was successfully captured, cutting off the passage between Zhao Jun and the hinterland of Handan; General Wangling led an iron cavalry into the valley of the Xiaodongcang River, cutting off the connection between Zhao Jun and the old pass of the Shi Great Wall camp. Now Zhao Guo The main army of more than 400,000 has been trapped in the Changping River Valley and the mountain plateau, becoming a trapped beast."

"What?" Ouyang Shuo was shocked. He didn't expect that Gaia had pushed the battle to this point. According to normal logic, at this point, Zhao Jun will undoubtedly be defeated.

It's not right, it's just so wrong. One is that Gaia would not arrange such an unequal battle, and the other is that since Dichen and the others knew the inside story in advance, they still chose Zhao's camp.

If there were no variables involved, Ouyang Shuo would not believe it even if he was killed.

Unlike Ouyang Shuo, the lords queuing up to register at the back were all elated when they heard the captain's answer, thinking they had chosen the right camp, and were waiting to take advantage of it.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, left the registration point, and found all the allies of the Shanhai League.

Among the allies, Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang are both first-class earls, leading three thousand troops. Except for Song Wen, who is the third-class earl, the rest are all second-class earls, leading a thousand troops.

Therefore, the total strength of the Shanhai League has reached 20,500, and all of them are all cavalry troops.

Among the cavalry, the cavalry of Lingxi County and Xunlong County are the most elite, and their commanders are generals Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong respectively.

Of course, no matter how gorgeous it is, it can't compare to Shanhai County's powerful lineup.

Among the generals in Shanhai County, both Shi Wansui and Elai had shown their faces before, but Luo Shixin was exposed for the first time, which naturally aroused the envy of Bai Hua and others.

Especially Feng Prison Huang, her territory has not yet had a decent general. Seeing the three generals of Shanhai County, Shi Wansui, Elai, and Luo Shixin, almost drooling, there is no ladylike image at all.

Speaking of which, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong still had a relationship, and when they met, they had mixed feelings.

Among the generals, Shi Wansui was proficient in foot and cavalry, and he was the oldest, so he was appointed as the chief general by Ouyang Shuo. Zhang Liao and Elai were deputy generals, followed by Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin.

If Mu Guiying is counted, the Shanhai League's general team can be called luxurious.

In order to facilitate the command, after discussing with Bai Hua and the others, Ouyang Shuo simply divided the troops into two teams of 10,000 people. The 10,000 cavalry in Shanhai County formed a team of their own, led by the original Shanhai County troops, with Elai as the chief general, and Luo Shixin and Lin Yi as the lieutenants. The remaining 10,500 people formed another team, with Zhang Liao as the main general and Mu Guiying and Qin Qiong as the deputy generals. Shi Wansui, as the general of the whole army, coordinated and commanded in the center.

As for the lords like Baihua, they basically don't need to go to the battlefield. On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo himself, after getting the Demon Spear, was eager to try. His current strength was enough to protect himself on the battlefield.

Just as the members of the Shanhai League were reorganizing their teams, the battle announcement sounded at the right time.

"Battle Announcement: In the Battle of Changping, a total of 100 lords participated, with a total force of 73,000. There were 28 lords in the Qin camp, with a total force of 31,000; 72 lords in the Zhao camp, with a total force of 42,000."

In this battle, all one hundred lords with county-level territories participated, and none of them was absent. Among these lords, more than 80% are third-class earls, who can only lead five hundred soldiers; the rest are basically second-class earls, who lead one thousand soldiers. As for the second-class Earl and above, there are only Ouyang Shuo, Bai Hua, and Feng Prison Huang.

Dichen and the others played all their relationship cards and managed to win over two-thirds of the lords, which is truly remarkable.

It's a pity that Ouyang Shuo, Bai Hua, and Feng Prison Huang's superior titles completely made up for the difference in numbers, and the strength of the two sides was not too disparate.

"Battle Announcement: Because the Qin camp is weaker than the Zhao camp, according to the battle rules, the Qin camp automatically gains a 20% increase in troop movement speed."

It turned out to be a movement speed bonus, which is strange. For the Shanhai League army, which is all cavalry, it is undoubtedly another great news.

"Battle Announcement: According to the test results of title and merit, the representative of the alien from the Qin camp is Qiyue Wuyi, a third-class Marquis. The representative of the alien from the Zhao camp is Dichen, a second-class earl."

No one can shake Ouyang Shuo's status as a representative of another person. On the contrary, Di Chen finally surpassed Chun Shenjun by virtue of his forbearance in the battle of Muye, and became the representative of Zhao Guo's camp.

The 30,000-strong army of the Alien Legion of the Qin camp was placed in the Guanglang City barracks, under the control of General Meng Ao. After setting up the army properly, the members of the Shanhai League rushed to Ouyang Shuo's camp to discuss matters with a tacit understanding.

Ouyang Shuo introduced what he learned to all his allies.

Wu Anjun Baiqi has five generals under his account, namely Wang He, Meng Ao, Wang Ling, Huan He, and Ying Bao. After completing the encirclement of the main force of the Zhao army, there are still 500,000 troops.

Needless to say, Zuo Shuchang, Wang He, confronted the old general Lian Po for three years. At this time, he led an army of more than 200,000 troops, stationed on the front line of Lao Maling, and built a barracks at Lao Maling to the west, blocking the passage of Zhao Jun's west out of Hedong.

Meng Ao, the defender of Guanglang City, led an army of 150,000 to build a camp on the southern line, and the passage for Zhao Jun to break through the encirclement and go south along the Danshui River Valley was also blocked.

Wang Ling and Ying Bao are two surprise soldiers, and now they have gained a firm footing.

Wang Ling led 25,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to build a northern camp at the intersection of Guguan and Xiaodongcang River, and the connection between Zhao Jun and the northern backup base Shichangcheng was cut off.

Ying Bao led 25,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to build a camp in the northeast area of ​​the Shichang Wall, and the passage to the east of Taihang Mountain was completely blocked.

In the end, the 50,000 cavalry led by Huan Lu hid behind Guanglang City as the general reserve team.

As for the shogunate of General Bai Qi, it was set up on Langshan outside Guanglang City.

Like the Qin army, the Zhao army still has more than 500,000 troops, of which more than 400,000 main forces are besieged in the Changping area. The remaining 100,000 troops were stationed at Guguan Fortress. Therefore, Guan is also the general granary of Zhao Jun. Therefore, even without the support of the capital Handan, the grain and grass hoarded by Guan would be enough to support the entire army for two months.

Bai Hua and the others were also puzzled by such a weird situation.

"Here, isn't Gaia showing off? In such a situation, the Qin camp is sure to win. Why fight this battle? Just wait for the harvest contribution value." The siege lion spoke first.

"I think you are showing off. Gaia's arrangement must have a deep meaning." Xunlong immediately retorted.

"you!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Feng Prisonhuang interrupted the couple, "Even if Gaia was making fun of it, Dichen and the others are not stupid, why would they jump into the pit with their eyes open, and slap us with great fanfare? Gauntlet."

"Mr. Gongyu, what do you think Zhao Jun wants to do to break this situation?" Bai Hua did not participate in the debate, but turned to Jushou to ask for his opinion. Like Ouyang Shuo, she trusted professional counselors.

"According to the current situation and the trend of history, the next step is to fight to the death of the Zhao army, attempting to capture the fortress of the royal tomb, join the defenders stationed in the old pass, and obtain food and supplies." Ju Shou did not express his position immediately, but first analyzed the situation in front of him. He continued: "Historically, this big breakout, including the breakouts of follow-up organizations, all ended in failure. In the end, the 400,000 Zhao troops had to surrender because they ran out of food."

"Thus, my subordinates believe that the key to Zhao Jun's breakthrough lies in the very first major breakout. At this time, there are still several days of food and grass in Zhao Jun's camp, and it is another last stand. The morale is the strongest, and the physical strength is well preserved. The peak period is quite similar. Historically, this breakout was almost successful, and it fell short in the end. The more than 40,000 alien legions joined by the Zhao Kingdom camp are the biggest variable in this battle and the key to breaking the situation. It is Zhao Jun who reversed the situation only hope."

Ouyang Shuo frowned, and said doubtfully, "According to what Mr. Zhao said, the Zhao camp has increased by more than 40,000 alien legions, but isn't the Qin camp also has 30,000 alien legions? Comparing the combat power, I don't think so. , will not be comparable to the opponent's 40,000 troops."

"That is, not to mention the elite cavalry brought by the elder brother, but with the tacit understanding formed by our Shanhai League's several joint operations, the difference of 10,000 troops is not enough to change the direction of the battle." Xunlong Dianxue was also puzzled.

"Also, with the prudence of Di Chen and the others, such a small advantage in military strength is simply not enough for them to take such a risk to join Zhao Guo's camp. There must be other variables in this." Feng Prisonhuang said.

"What if, I mean if, what if Dichen and the others carry a large amount of ration pills to supply the main force of Zhao's army?"

"When it comes to Junliangwan, Wuyi has the most say. Wuyi, do you think this is possible?" Bai Hua asked.

Ouyang Shuo thought about it for a while, then shook his head resolutely, and said, "Impossible. The main force of the Zhao army is more than 400,000, plus the consumption of war horses and the consumption of the alien army itself. Even if it is used economically, it will cost at least 600,000 a day." More than 10,000 grains of military ration pills. Such a huge consumption, even if Dichen and the others prepare for it, they cannot afford to consume it. After conversion, it costs more than 6,000 gold coins a day. In less than ten days, Dichen and the others will have to go bankrupt."

"What's more, with the production capacity of Shanhai County, only 5,000 military grain pills can be produced a day. How long does it take to prepare millions of military grain pills in advance, and how many units of grain will be consumed. With Dichen and the others Strength, combined with the food crisis not long ago, is simply impossible to achieve."

For a while, the meeting reached a deadlock.
