Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 253 Defeating Wei Zhuang
Ying Yuan's strategy is actually very simple.

Earlier, he asked Meng Tian and others to lead a total of [-] elites to attack Xiangcheng.

At this time, Yandan resolutely sent troops to assist Xiangcheng in order to prevent the Weizhuang tribe from being devastated.

After Ying Yuan heard the news, he asked Meng Tian to feign an attack, giving them the impression that the main force of the Qin army did not attack Xiangcheng.

Then, he personally led the army to attack Huaicheng. In this way, they felt that Xiangcheng was actually a feint attack, and his purpose was to make Yandan feel that this was Qin's strategy of attacking east and attacking west.

Yan Dan retreated because of this.

Once he withdrew his troops, he gave Meng Tian the opportunity and time to storm the city.

After Xiangcheng was captured, Yan Dan wanted to come back to help, but it was too late.

It is also because Huaicheng's geographical location is so important that Yandan dare not be self-willed and doubtful. In order to be stable, he can only choose to solve the danger of Huaicheng.

Otherwise, once Huaicheng is lost, they will lose this battle.

Xiangcheng, on the top of the city, Wei Zhuang was worried.

"Report to me the situation of the enemy troops outside the city every hour."

He can't do anything now, because he knows that once Yandan decides something, no one else can persuade him to go back.

In fact, his idea at the beginning was to delay Ying Yuan and find out Qin Jun's true intentions before taking any action, but now, Yan Dan didn't give him this chance at all.

"General, hasn't it been confirmed that only a small part of the Qin army came to attack the Chengguan? It's not the main force. If that's the case, why are you still worried?"

A Han army general asked.

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly: "Do you know how high Meng Tian's status is in the Qin army? He personally came to lead the army. Do you think it's just a small fight?"

He frowned deeply, and the worry in his heart was even worse.

The rest of the generals didn't dare to say anything, so they had to follow his orders.

Meng Tian also received the news that the Yan army was retreating, and decided to launch a general attack on Weizhuang's troops after six hours.

During this period, harassment was still the main focus.

In fact, Ying Yuan's strategy is also unsolvable in a sense.

After all, even Wei Zhuang would not risk losing Huaicheng to keep Xiangcheng.

What puzzled him was that Meng Tian was the main general who attacked Xiangcheng this time, and he didn't think that Ying Yuan's strategy would be so simple, it was just a direct application of the four words.

War has lost its identity.

However, are these issues affecting the overall situation?
No, so Wei Zhuang's doubts are his doubts. When he heard the news of Yandan's retreat, he could only choose to resign himself to his fate. After all, the direction of Huaicheng is indeed in an extremely critical state at this moment.

As soon as Yan Dan left Xiangcheng non-stop and approached Huaicheng, Meng Tian had already ordered a general attack.

An army of [-] troops attacked the city one after another in a dispersed manner.

Wei Zhuang stood on the top of the city and personally supervised the battle, but his heart was already filled with grief and indignation.

He understood that he had already lost.

Lost completely.

At this time, Ying Yuan had just heard the news, and Yan Dan had already chosen to withdraw his troops.

However, it was still about an hour before noon.

At the end of the season, he was asking him if he wanted to attack the city.

Ying Yuan shook his head and smiled and said: "We have already won this battle, as for Huaicheng, it is just a turtle in the urn, let him go for now, you will follow me back to the camp, and wait for Meng Tian and other generals to return in triumph. !"

At the beginning of June in the 12th year of Qin Wangzheng, Meng Tian, ​​Li Tong, and Yang Xiong joined forces to capture Xiangcheng and defeat Weizhuang. The latter fled to Huaicheng with less than [-] troops.

This battle completely wiped out the vital forces in South Korea, which is called a great victory.

In the history books of later generations, this battle was emphatically described, and Ying Yuan's strategizing was also given a very high evaluation.

Even the future Red Giant is full of praise for this.

After Meng Tian and the others returned to the camp, Ying Yuan warmly received them personally, and brought out many pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, in order to make the three armies feel ashamed.

In fact, to be honest, the reason why this battle can be won is all due to Ying Yuan's unparalleled military tactics.

The three armies are cheering, they stay here, the soldiers will be restrained.

Thus, Ying Yuan, Ji Mo, Li Tong, Meng Tian, ​​Yang Xiong and others began to take a walk outside the camp, and at the same time discuss the next strategic approach to the enemy.

In this battle, apart from feeling regretful, Wei Zhuang only felt resigned.

However, Yan Dan was so angry that he vomited blood.

After Ying Yuan heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry, and mocked Yan Dan for not being a gentleman, but for being a villain.

"Yang Xiong, this battle has already been reported by General Meng. You performed well. After the battle is completely over, this Marquis will ask for credit for you.

You are still young, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. In this world, there are fierce generals like clouds and wise men like rain. If you are a little careless in wars, you are very likely to face a scene of defeat like a mountain. "

Ying Yuan said to him earnestly.

In fact, in this world, there are too many young generals who are complacent after achieving a little achievement, and will not have any achievements in the years to come.

He was worried that Yang Xiong would eventually become such a person.

After all, according to the progress of history, he did not enter the political stage until Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben and other generals became unknown or died.

Letting him lead an army to join the battle now is tantamount to counterproductive, so he must be beaten carefully so that there will be no phenomenon of pride and complacency in his heart.

The generals of the Qin army in later generations were basically defeated by politics, not by the enemy.

Zhao Gao can also be regarded as a generation of heroes who have been dormant for many years, and only after Ying Zheng's death did he show his fangs.

Before that, even when facing Meng Tian, ​​he was a little cautious.

After that, Zhao Gao killed too many young talents.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. In fact, the general knows very well that the reason why this battle can be won is all due to Master Hou's resourcefulness."

Yang Xiong was very humble in front of him.

This scene made Ying Yuan more or less relieved.

"Next, we can strategically approach Huaicheng, surround them without fighting, and cut off their water sources and food and grass channels. After a long time, they will naturally be destroyed."

Ying Yuan has already beaten the South Korean native army to the point where there is no vitality at all.

Yan Dan also knew that the general trend was over.

It is absolutely impossible for him to joke about the lives of his [-] generals and be buried with South Korea.

As long as the Yan army withdraws, Ying Yuan can point his sword at Xinzheng at any time. At that time, South Korea will be in his pocket.

"In this way, will the offensive speed be slow?" At the end of the season, he was a little worried.

Because he knew very well that the previous strategic plan for Wei Zhuang had already caused many officials in Xianyang to impeach Champion Hou.

If this time, he still chooses to surround rather than fight, then it is conceivable that some people who are hostile to Ying Yuan will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

Moreover, the incidents they caused will not affect the interests of the family and the country, which makes people very helpless.

Otherwise, how could the world say that war is actually a game of power.

"This Marquis knows what you are worried about. Those people above the temple don't understand war at all. But the king does understand that we have suffered a lot of grievances in Handan of Zhao State since we were young. When we returned home, we also witnessed many wars with our own eyes. war.

The king knew very well that a war, even if it lasted for three to five years, was still possible. What's more, the king's mind had always been to unify the world.

Since we want to unify the world, then our country of Qin must have a relatively large number of viable forces. What this Marquis did is just to reduce the casualties of our soldiers. "

Ying Yuan never cared what other people thought, because he knew enough about his elder brother, the future First Emperor—Ying Zheng.

Meng Tian said: "A few days ago, Meng Yi wrote a family letter to the general, and it was mentioned above that someone impeached you, Lord Hou, but the king doesn't care about it."

Ying Yuan chuckled, and said slowly, "I don't need to think about it, I know that there must be Li Si's shadow behind this, let him go, after I rule the world, I will take good care of him."

Now he puts all his thoughts on the journey to unify the world, completely unaware that Tian Zhen's belly is getting bigger day by day.
