Chapter 20: Infiltrate the Enemy
"General, why do we only besiege Yu County and not attack Yu County? If we attack Xia Yu County, then we will have the greatest credit!"
A deputy general of Zhao State was very confused and said to Zhao Yuan on the stage.
"Don't worry, our main purpose is not to attack Yu County, but to contain the 30,000 Qin soldiers in Yu County."
"But if there are reinforcements from the Qin people, we will have to retreat and join General Li Mu. If the Qin people cruelly abandon these 30,000 Qin soldiers."
"Then we can take the opportunity to capture the remaining counties and annihilate the 30,000 Qin soldiers in these remaining counties!"
Zhao Yuan smiled and explained the reason to his lieutenants, and the other lieutenants also nodded. They had long known that General Li Mu's goal had always been to go to the county, but they did not expect that he and others were only part of the effort to contain Wang Jian's troops.
.
"This is a great plan. If the Qin people come to support, then Shangjun will be defeated. If the Qin people don't come to support, then we will just accept these 30,000 Qin soldiers!"
"Wonderful, really wonderful. Only General Li Mu can come up with such a strategy!"
The generals of the Zhao State were full of praise for Li Mu, and Zhao Yuan also nodded slightly. If the old general Lian Po had not left, the famous generals of the Zhao State would have died or been injured, and coupled with the natural and man-made disasters in the Zhao State, this war would have been fought long ago.
You might even win.
At the same time, more than a thousand Zhao soldiers came to the camp in disgrace.
"Stop, who are you, and who is the general?"
A group of Zhao soldiers immediately gathered around and carefully observed the group of Zhao soldiers.
"We are soldiers under General Zhao Yuan. Today we went to Niutoushan to encircle and suppress the remaining Qin soldiers. However, the Qin people had reinforcements and killed us. We suffered heavy losses, and even General Zhao Yuan also
He was killed by the Qin people."
"The leader now is Deputy General Sima, but Deputy General Sima has passed out and is in urgent need of rescue. I hope brothers can save my general as soon as possible!"
Several soldiers stepped forward and saw that it was indeed Deputy General Sima, so they stopped trying and immediately sent a military doctor to rescue him.
On the other side, Wang Ben and Meng Yi had already reunited, and then Wang Ben directly led 20,000 Qin soldiers to kill them.
"What, the Qin people only came with 20,000 Qin soldiers!"
When Zhao Yuan knew that only 20,000 Qin soldiers came, he knew that the other side did not send too many soldiers, so there was a trace of uncertainty in attacking Shangjun.
"Yes, general, the person coming is none other than Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben!"
With only 20,000 people, he dared to come here to seek death. He was worthy of being Wang Jian's son. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog sons, and it is true.
"Hurry up and hand over the letter to General Li Mu, and we will send troops to confront you immediately!"
Then a secret order was passed directly, and Zhao Yuan went directly to the battlefield.
"The person opposite is Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben!"
Zhao Yuan asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth!
"Exactly, who are you? Tell me your name quickly!"
Wang Ben drew his sword directly and pointed the tip of the sword at Zhao Yuan.
"I am the general of the State of Zhao, and so is Zhao Yuan!"
Zhao Yuan responded by pointing his sword at the opponent, as if he was about to start a fight if they disagreed. However, Zhao Yuan knew that he could only contain them and not really start a fight. Moreover, he had to quietly join Li Mu's troops.
However, what Zhao Yuan did not expect was that the other party was also trying to buy time, and at this time, the two hundred Qin soldiers who had sneaked into the Zhao army's barracks began to take action.
They immediately found out the opponent's granary, and a few of them secretly broke through the siege of 50,000 troops and secretly used bows and arrows tied with letters to shoot into Yu County.
Within Yu County...
"The general has arrows to send a message!"
General Li, who had previously questioned the reckless man, immediately picked up the arrow. This arrow was from Qin and had Meng Yi's seal on it.
"It's the seal of that boy Meng Yi!"
General Li burst into laughter after reading the contents of the letter, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to start rectifying, wait for the order, and then open the city gate and fight out.
"General, be careful of fraud."
The deputy general came over immediately and said worriedly.
"It's okay. People in the Zhao Kingdom don't know about these letters, but just in case, if there is fire coming from the Zhao Kingdom camp later, 30,000 troops will be dispatched immediately!"
…………
"Captain, everything is ready!"
Dasha walked over excitedly. He was wearing a Zhao soldier armor, and several other people also came back.
"Captain, we have figured out where the other party's granary is!"
Zhefu, Wang Yi and others also said cautiously, while the reckless man laughed.
"Okay, let's take action when it's almost dawn!"
…………
"General, these Qin soldiers have already begun to set up camp. They won't attack tonight!"
A deputy general looked at the Qin soldiers who were already stationed and said directly.
"The night is too late, which is not conducive to fighting. Even so, you still have to take turns to check the movements of the Qin people!"
It was already very dark before, so it was not convenient to carry out, but now it has become completely dark, so there won’t be much change no matter what.
So Zhao Yuan went back to the camp directly. He had to wait for a few days before joining General Li Mu. Otherwise, if the Qin people found out about Duan Xi, they would go back to support Shangjun, which would put Li Mu and his 100,000 troops in danger.
The night was completely dark, and the soldiers around him began to sleep, but the reckless man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Time's up, let's take action!"
All of a sudden, two hundred people started to act like ghosts. The more than a thousand Zhao soldiers who had been captured before were also confused, but they still started to act with the reckless man and others. There was no way Zhao soldiers wanted to survive.
From the moment they brought Mangfu and others in, they were already betraying Zhao. If they were caught, not only would they die, but their families would die as well, so they had no choice but to rebel.
Then quietly, the reckless man and others reached the granary and directly set fire to the grain and grass here.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Put out the fire!"
The disheveled Zhao soldiers immediately got up and began to revive them, but they were shot dead the moment they came out.
Yes, these people are the reckless men and others. They took out all the bows and arrows, equipped more than a thousand of them with arrows, and shot every one as soon as they came out.
"How is this going!"
Zhao Yuan put on his military armor, took out his bronze sword, and walked out directly. While the panicked soldiers were carrying big basins to put out the fire, Zhao Yuan immediately stopped him.
"It's on fire, the granary is on fire, go put out the fire quickly!!!"
There was fire everywhere, these soldiers were running around, and Zhao Yuan also felt something was wrong at this time.
"What, you said the granary was on fire, and the weapons depot was also on fire. Why did it catch on fire!!!"
"not good!!!"
