(Yesterday, I spent a lot of time checking out the details of the Battle of Changping, so I didn¡¯t update the second chapter. Now a large chapter worth 5500+ will not be divided into two chapters. I will make up for yesterday¡¯s second chapter. Let¡¯s count it as today¡¯s first update. There will be another chapter later. Please subscribe and vote!
The Battle of Changping was one of the largest battles during the Warring States Period and in ancient Chinese history. Many middle school students have heard of the general process of the battle. According to the description Chen Yu saw in middle school textbooks, it was roughly the battle between Qin and Zhao. Zhao State initially used veteran general Lian Po to fight. Based on the situation on both sides, Lian Po believed that "Qin The army came from afar, and the advantage was to fight quickly." Therefore, they took advantage of the advantageous location they occupied to build strong walls, stand firm, and remain unchanged in response to changes. No matter how challenged the Qin army was, the Zhao soldiers could not hold on and held on for two or three years. At this time, Qin State used counterintuitive tactics and sent people to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to spread rumors, bribe King Zhao's left and right officials, and sow discord between King Zhao and Lian Po, saying that Lian Po was nothing to fear and the reason why he stood firm was because He was ready to surrender to the Qin army. The only thing the Qin army feared the most was Zhao Kuo, the son of "Ma Fujun" Zhao She.
King Zhao believed the slander, so he replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, who could only "talk on paper". Although Zhao Kuo had previously accompanied his famous general father Zhao She to defeat the Qin army in a certain battle and achieved a great victory, at that time he was only a staff officer and had no experience in personally commanding an army. His father Zhao She also said to Zhao Kuo's mother before his death, "War is a matter of life and death, but Zhao Kuo always talks rashly. If Zhao Kuo doesn't use Zhao Kuo as a general, that's it. But if the State of Zhao must make him a general, then it must be Zhao Kuo himself who destroys the Zhao army." Therefore, knowing that King Zhao wanted to appoint Zhao Kuo as the general, Zhao Kuo's mother quickly went to see King Zhao and begged not to let Zhao Kuo be the general. King Zhao refused to listen and insisted on making Zhao Kuo the general. Zhao Kuo's mother had no choice but to ask Zhao Kuo to be the general. The king promised that if the Zhao army was destroyed at the hands of Zhao Kuo, then please do not implicate other members of the family because of the failure of this battle. King Zhao agreed to her request, and then continued to appoint Zhao Kuo as the commander to replace Lian Po.
Zhao Kuo is a man with his own wisdom, but he is very rash and lacks practical experience. After taking office, he did not listen to the advice of Lian Po, who was about to leave, and quickly changed Lian Po's approach in an all-round way. He also changed Lian Po's strategic defense policy and actively planned strategic offensives in an attempt to win in one fell swoop.
Of course, although Zhao Kuo's active offensive strategy is simply written as Zhao Kuo's own idea in many books, more historians believe that three years before the Battle of Changping, both Qin and Zhao each carried dozens of Tens of thousands of armies have been in a stalemate for so long, and the economies of both sides can no longer afford it. The Qin State is better off. After all, there is the famous "Guanzhong Plain", and after the previous "Shangfa Reform", the food accumulation is also very sufficient, so It can still last for a while, but Zhao State has now reached the point where it has to borrow food from Qi State - of course, the result is that the food is not borrowed and several other surrounding countries take advantage of Zhao State's sleepiness to attack - -So, the Zhao State itself was almost unsustainable at this time. It replaced Lian Po, who had been delaying and defensive, with generals who advocated attacking, and quickly ended this war that was almost unsustainable. In fact, it was more of the Zhao royal family's fault. In their opinion, Zhao Kuo is just the candidate they need.
But in any case, Zhao Kuo himself does have no actual combat experience, talks on paper, and recklessly underestimates the enemy. After the State of Qin confirmed that Zhao State had appointed Zhao Kuo as a general, it immediately adjusted its military deployment: it immediately increased its troops and recruited Bai Qi, who was experienced in actual combat, as the main general to command the entire army. In order to avoid the victorious general Bai Qi from attracting the attention of the Zhao army, the King of Qin also ordered the army to strictly keep this secret: "Anyone who dares to reveal that Bai Qi is a general will be killed."
In this way, on the one hand, they had already begun to plan and set up an ambush; on the other hand, they underestimated the enemy and thought that defeating the enemy was just around the corner. The war soon started in full force. The Qin army attacked and then pretended to be defeated. Zhao Kuo immediately led the main force regardless of the actual situation. Carry out pursuit. Then, when the Zhao army was led into the pocket that the Qin army had already prepared, the Qin army's surprise troops quickly attacked, penetrated behind the Zhao army's attacking troops, seized the strategic position, and intercepted the attacking Zhao army and its large store of grain and grass. The connection between the battalions achieved a comprehensive encirclement. The Zhao army was besieged for more than 40 days, and their food was cut off. They even secretly killed and cannibalized each other. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to make a desperate move and personally led Zhao's elite troops to break out of the encirclement. However, he was still defeated and was killed by the Qin army. under the arrow. The Zhao army lost its commander and had been hungry for many days. Then the entire army of hundreds of thousands surrendered - and then, except for the 240 young soldiers who were sent back to Zhao by Bai Qi to report the news, the rest of the 400,000 surrendered troops were all trapped. Killing, almost all the strong men in the Zhao State were lost in this battle, and they have been unable to recover since then. The Qin State took advantage of the situation to attack and almost directly destroyed the Zhao State. Fortunately, Qin State's internal generals fought secretly, and at the same time, another "Xinling" incident occurred in the Wei State. "You stole the talisman to save Zhao", Zhao State barely survived.
In one fell swoop, more than 400,000 troops of the State of Zhao, the most powerful among the six eastern kingdoms, were wiped out. The Battle of Changping played a decisive role in the end of the Warring States Period.The impact of the situation in China is self-evident. Because of its significant influence, this war has been mentioned many times in various history books or books related to history. So in general, Chen Yu, Wu Ren and Lin Fei now know more or less about the process of this war, and of course the heroic spirits do the same.
In this battle, the ratio of the number of NPCs to the number of soldiers invested in that battle in history is 1:5, that is, one NPC is equivalent to five soldiers. The current number of NPCs in Qin and Zhao is 70,000:90,000. Corresponding to historical facts, it is 350,000 The Qin army faced off against 450,000 Zhao troops. According to records, in the middle of the war, the King of Qin personally went to Hanoi and granted him the rank of civilian nobility, allowing all young men over 15 years old in Hanoi to join the battlefield to block the reinforcements from the Zhao army's periphery. These temporarily recruited troops have not yet been included in the total.
The scaling ratio of the battlefield is 1:2, but the width of the river and the height of the mountains are not scaled. The terrain of the entire map is very complex. The battlefield is surrounded by tall and insurmountable mountains on all sides. The east and southeast are Taihang Mountains, the southwest is Wangwu and Zhongtiao Mountains, the west is Taiyue Mountains, and the north is Wuyun Mountain and Ba. Fuling and other mountainous areas. There is only a pass called "Gu Pass" in the northeast corner, which is the only route for the Zhao army to send reinforcements from Handan, while there is a long narrow road in the mountains in the southwest corner, which is the only choice for the Qin army to advance from the west. In addition, there is a long and narrow river valley on the outer edge of the battlefield and on the back of Taiyue Mountain to the west. Although it is not convenient for large armies to march, a small number of troops can still detour through it if they are lightly armed and simple. This river valley was the most important route for the Qin Army to later send out surprise troops to outflank the Zhao Army's rear path and cut off the Zhao State's reinforcements from Handan.
In the center of the map, there is a river that runs from north to south, originates from the mountains in the northwest, and then extends to due south and east, which can be said to almost traverse the entire battlefield, called Dan River (Danshui). To the southwest of the river is the Qin Army's camp area. It is mountainous and has almost no flat land, which is convenient for the Qin Army's infantry to fight. The northeast is the area controlled by the Zhao army, and there are many mountains. However, there is still a certain amount of flat land between a large mountain called "Hanwang Mountain" running from due north to due south in the "center" and the Dan River. This flat land was also the place where the Qin army later made a "pocket" for the Zhao army. Because Hanwang Mountain extends from due north to due south to the vicinity of the Dan River, and "cooperates" with the Dan River flowing from northwest to southeast, it is natural that it is right here. The area where the two meet forms a natural narrow mouth, just like the intersection of two strong straight lines. This intersection area is obviously a battleground for military strategists. Zhao Jun's camp was originally located here, with strong fortifications. However, after Zhao Kuo attacked rashly, the position was occupied by another surprise force of the Qin Army. The strong fortress built by the Zhao Army turned into a "pocket mouth" for the Qin Army to strangle Zhao's attacking army.
This narrow mouth is called "Hyunshi" Fortress, and it is the junction of Hanwang Mountain, Dan River and a tributary of Dan River flowing from the northeast. To the northeast of it, the valley formed by the tributary river between Hanwang Mountain and another mountain range called "Daliang Mountain" is the food and supplies base that Zhao Jun originally placed behind the base camp of Xuushi City. There are guards. But not much, and their combat effectiveness is low. The north of the river valley is also a high mountainous area, connected to the "Gu Pass" pass mentioned before in the northeast. It was from Gu Pass that the Zhao army sent reinforcements along the river valley and also transported grain and grass. In the mountainous area where the "Gu Pass" is located, the veteran general Lian Po had previously built a "Baili Stone Great Wall" that ran from west to east on the mountains and was hundreds of miles long. This Great Wall, with the Gu Pass to the east, was the Zhao army's reinforcement. At the entrance, there is a pass in the west called Changping Pass. It was built on the "Danzhu Ridge", the source of the upper reaches of the Dan River. It can be used to prevent the Qin army from sneak attacks from the valley behind Taiyue Mountain. It can also take advantage of the high mountains. The terrain is favorable, and if necessary, the battlefield in the Danhe area can be reinforced from Changping Pass - but later, after Zhao Kuo was carelessly captured by the Qin army's surprise troops, this pass became the Qin army to block the Zhao army and surround the Zhao army. an important basis.
The terrain of the entire battlefield is roughly like this. There are mostly high mountains and complicated mountains and rivers. This kind of battlefield is what military experts call a "dangerous area". The marching formation should be a cautious place. Of course, General Zhao does not pay attention to this - General Zhao is already deploying troops. Because after the Qin army completed its preliminary preparations, it had officially begun to lure the enemy.
"System prompt: It is reported that the Qin army is advancing towards our army."
After everyone made a cursory introduction, soon, both Qin and Zhao in the dungeon began to take action.
"So, what are our arrangements now?" the uncle asked.
He said and looked at Han Xin beside Lin Fei.
"General Han, please tell me your opinion." Lin Fei understood what he meant and quickly said to Han Xin.
Even though he has no memory of his previous life, Han Xin obviously still has the talent from his previous life. In the current situation, compared to Chen Yu, Uncle and Lin Fei, who are easy to "talk on paper" like Zhao Kuo and other later generations of players, it is obviously better to arrange it with a "soldier fairy" like Han Xin.Our strategic layout needs to be more reliable.
"As you can see below, we now have three players and the Heroic Spirits they brought with them. The troops are divided into three groups and act on their own." Han Xin thought for a while and quickly squatted down while quickly making simple battlefield gestures on the ground. Tu, while speaking unhurriedly, "Although I don't know the detailed process of this battle in history, but the current battlefield terrain, if I were the commander of the Qin Army, in addition to moving the Zhao Army as everyone should know, In addition to luring him into this 'dead land' (he said, pointing to the area between Hanwang Mountain and Danhe), he would also definitely take advantage of the battle between the two sides when the Zhao army had withdrawn most of its troops. A strange force, the first one, circled behind Zhao Jun from behind this mountain range (Taiyue Mountains), and then quickly divided into two groups, quickly captured Changping Pass along the way, and quickly captured Gu Pass along the way, and assisted the siege at Changping Pass. Block the Zhao army and block the reinforcements sent from the periphery of the Zhao army at the old pass. The second branch took advantage of the emptiness of the main camp of the Zhao army and quickly occupied the narrow entrance of Xuushi City, using the mountains and the Dan River to divide the Zhao army into two. : The attacking Zhao army was blocked to the west of Xiaokou, with troops and no food. The Zhao army that stayed behind was blocked at the logistics base in the northeast of Xiaokou, with food and no soldiers. Then they relied on the mountains and Dan River, plus Changping Pass and Xun. In Shicheng, the attacking Zhao army was forced into a "pocket"-shaped death zone that was surrounded and unable to move. After besieging the Zhao army, they relied on the dangerous mountains and rivers and defensive barriers to hold on and exhausted the food brought by the attacking Zhao army. At the same time, Hyunshi City and Guguan in the northeast used these two mountains (Hanwang Mountain and Daliang Mountain) to form a second 'pocket' for the Zhao army who stayed in the rear and was responsible for food and grass. This part of the Zhao army did not have The Qin army will naturally surrender after being surrounded for a long time. In this way, the Qin army cooperated with other surprise troops and mountain passes to occupy a Xuushi city, and suddenly formed two consecutive bags, strangling the Zhao army here. It is said that this Xuushi City is the centerpiece of the entire battle."
"Then according to your opinion, we will defend this place to the death?" Chen Yu said.
"No, this place needs to be thrown away." Han Xin said slowly, "It must be temporarily lent to the Qin Army, and then it can be slowly held back."
"What does this mean?" Chen Yuhe and his uncle heard this and immediately asked in confusion. Even Han Xin's protagonist Lin Fei is quite puzzled.
¡°Have you ever heard of something called ¡®chicken ribs¡¯?¡± Han Xin said calmly.
¡°Tasteless?¡±
"The ribs of a chicken are mostly bones and there is meat, but not much. If people get it, it will be tasteless to eat, but if they want to throw it away, it will be a pity." Han Xin said unhurriedly, "If we start from a If they defend Xuushi City from the beginning, the Qin army will soon consider other strategies after the failure of the Qin army. Even if they do not attack Xuushi City, they will still have many other options, and the initiative will still be in their hands. In their hands, after all, we ourselves are not the coach. Even if we have a hundred strategies, we can't get Zhao Kuo's approval and we can't get Zhao Jun out of the situation of being led by the famous general of the Qin Army. "
"Then you mean, with the help of this place we take the initiative to lead Qin Jun by the nose?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.
"It's not like leading the opponent by the nose, but if it can play a certain role in containing the enemy, it should still be very helpful to the battle. At the same time, it will also make our general here realize that the opponent's strength is not as strong as he imagined. Simple." Han Xin smiled and said, "We lent the key area of ????Xunshi City to the Qin Army. The Qin Army won it hard and cannot bear to give up. At this time, if this area suffers a violent attack, then the Qin Army will have to They passively mobilized their troops and repeatedly reinforced this place. In this way, the Qin army was pinned here. It was like a person stretching out his hand to take something, but was suddenly nailed by an iron cone, and his hand was restrained. , The whole body is passive. If Zhao has reinforcements coming from the northeast at this time, the scene will be interesting. "
"But in this case, the attacking Zhao army will not last long if they don't have food, right?" the uncle said.
"How long has this Zhao army lasted in history?" Han Xin said with a smile.
"It seems more than forty days" Chen Yu said angrily, "No matter how rash Zhao Kuo is, he still knows how to carry a little rations, not to mention that he can think of other ways when he is forced to do something - There are many villages near the Dan River.¡±
"Then if they have to stay here for half a month, it should be okay." Han Xin said.
""
Half a month, it should really be able to hold on.
"In just half a month, the Qin army's pinned hand will shed a lot of their blood." Han Xin continued unhurriedly, "At the same time, I will try my best to find ways to make them The Qin Army has assembled as many troops as possible here. If the Zhao army's reinforcements arrive and then attack from both sides, in this case, the one who will be made into a 'pocket' will probably be the Qin Army himself ¡ª¡ª Mountains and rivers, these are not terrains that only the Qin army can borrow, we can also use them. "
"" After hearing him finish his thoughts, Chen Yu and his uncle could not help but be silent for a moment.
This kind of strategy and vision allows the enemy to change from active to passive, from encircling to being surrounded
As expected, it is only owned by famous marshal-level figures.
"But according to your idea, in addition to the food issue that Wu Ren just mentioned, there are two most important issues." After a while, Chen Yucai opened his mouth again and said, "The first issue is what you just said. Fierce attack. In history, the Zhao army also violently attacked the Qin army in an attempt to recapture the camp, but in this pocket situation, they failed to attack many times. Now we"
"We can do this attack." Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Lin Fei on the side had habitually pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Zhao Army soldiers are Zhao Army soldiers, and we I have soldiers who are stronger and better able to fight together.¡±
"Really" Chen Yu heard the words and murmured in response.
Speaking of which, as a "soldier fairy", it is not surprising that people like Han Xin have their own recruiting skills. What's more, Lin Fei has clearly stated before that Han Xin's skill is to continuously increase troops, and Zhang Xun, Ban Chao, Xu Da They are all experts at leading troops, and they must have corresponding "strengthening troops" skills. Han Xin's soldiers were already very strong when fighting in groups, not to mention that they were now assisted by the skills of other famous generals.
Therefore, Han Xin said here that he could launch a "violent attack" on the Qin army. If he can say it, he can do it.
"Soldier Immortal" Han Xin vs. "Killing God" Bai Qi. Although these two great marshals were separated by less than a hundred years in history, but unfortunately they had never fought against each other, they actually faced off here.
"Then as you said, it's up to you to deal with the area around Xuushi City and contain the Qin army," Chen Yu sighed secretly in his heart, and then continued, "But the second question, the reinforcements of the Zhao army you just mentioned ¡¡±
"This will be left to you or another person to make the 'Gu Pass' into the second place to pin the Qin army and attract the Zhao State to use all its strength to rescue." Han Xin listened to his question and felt relaxed. Smiling slowly, he said, "In the southeastern part of Guguan, there is a mountain trail between the mountains. It must have been the route used by the Qin State to send reinforcements from Hanoi in the south. The terrain of the mountain trail is difficult, so you or this lord only need to take your subordinates with you." The heroic spirits below set off immediately and went to the mountain road to block the key points before the old pass was lost. They defended the enemy tightly. Even if there were 100,000 NPC reinforcements from the Qin army, they could not fly over, while the Zhao reinforcements could attack without backup. The Qin Army's garrison at the Gu Pass will surely recapture the Gu Pass within fifteen days, and then march straight into Xuushi City to complete the front and rear pincer attack on the Qin Army's garrison at Xuushi City - So, who of you will do it now? To block that vital point?"
