"Doubt?" Ye Yu raised his eyebrows. Do you think that with Li Mu's prestige as the God of War, what kind of doubt can't be suppressed?”
Wei Liao was speechless.
In fact, not only would the army be suspicious if they gave up on the national border, but the people of Zhao would also be suspicious.
When the ministers of the Zhao Kingdom heard this news, they would probably send a letter to the King of Zhao and Li Mu!
However!
Li Mu's prestige in Zhao was unquestionable.
It could even be said that even the King of Zhao could not compare to Lord Wu 'an and Li Mu.
That's right, Li Mu was the Lord of Wu 'an of the State of Zhao. In the Han Dynasty, this position was equivalent to the position of a sealed wolf!
Therefore, no matter what happened, Li Mu could stay outside and not accept the orders of the monarch.
Unless Zhao Wangqian was retarded and changed his general during the battle.
"I'll leave the borders of Zhao to you, but on your way to Handan, there are a total of seventy to eighty cities. I'll leave a thousand to two thousand men of sacrifice in each city.”
"Then, I will order Sima Shang to lead tens of thousands of elite Zhao Border Cavalry to attack your rear!”
"And this old man will stay in the middle of the army and wait and see. What can you do?？”
……
Wei Liaozi frowned. There were seventy to eighty cities, and each city had one to two thousand death warriors, which meant that there were more than a hundred thousand people!
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to gather so many men of sacrifice.
However, the situation where Zhao was invaded by Qin was an exception.
After all, the God of Slaughter Baiqi had killed 400,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao before, so Ye Yu's Deathsworn move was feasible!
"If that's the case, if Great Qin wants to attack Handan, we'll have to suffer at least 100,000 casualties, and the war will continue to drag on!”
Wei Liaozi was thinking about how to solve this problem.
Ye Yu suddenly added," As your Qin army enters the interior of the Zhao Kingdom, Sima Shang and the Zhao Border Cavalry will be able to attack your logistics army at any time!”
"With just tens of thousands of cavalry, our Zhao Border Cavalry is definitely more powerful than Great Qin's Tiger Leopard Cavalry.”
"And if you want to stabilize the logistics supply, unless you take down all the surrounding cities every time you pass by!”
……
Ye Yu grinned. What he wanted was to use the territory to exchange for the Qin country's living forces!
At the same time, he would extend the war indefinitely!
The Qin Country's national strength was indeed astonishing, but the 400,000-strong army had to travel long distances to fight. The test of logistics was extremely arduous!
If there were still the most elite soldiers of the Zhao Country attacking, then the Qin army would be in a very difficult position!
"Take down all the surrounding cities…"
Wei Liao shook his head. Unrealistic, this was too unrealistic!
This was because occupying the cities along the logistics transportation route was something that had to be done, and it was also something that could be done.
However, if they wanted to take down all the surrounding cities…it wasn't that the Qin army couldn't do it, but how many people would be left behind to guard them?
The casualties of the soldiers and the time spent to take down those cities had to be taken into account!
Wei Liao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice," Then I will personally lead the army and attack Handan, the capital of Zhao, at all costs!”
"Then this old man will continue to leave thirty thousand of the most elite men of sacrifice in Handan and move the capital!”
Ye Yu said without hesitation. He had expected Wei Liao to go all out.
However, Wei Liao was still stuck in his mindset, thinking that taking down Handan was the end.
But…
Wei Liao did not think about the King of Zhao moving!
"You…"
Wei Liao's eyes widened, he was just short of shouting at Ye Yu to go back on his words!
Because he had never thought of moving the capital.
After the Battle of Changping, when Baiqi besieged Handan City and almost destroyed the Zhao Country, the King of Zhao did not even move.
In addition, out of all the cities in Zhao, Handan City was the strongest and the most difficult to take down!
That was the faith of the people of the Zhao Nation!
"As long as there are people, the city is nothing. Even if this old man drags it on…I can always drag it on until the day your State of Qin can't hold on.”
"Even if you pay the price of blood to take down Handan City, how many troops do you have to leave behind to defend it?" Ye Yu said lightly. How long could they defend? One had to know that the other five countries were watching!”
It was easy to take down a position, but the most difficult thing was to defend it.
There were hundreds of thousands of Zhao people in Handan City. Was the Qin army going to massacre the city and destroy the country?
The God of Slaughter Bai Qi was already dead.
Wang Jian could not do such a bloodthirsty thing, nor could he do that.
Because if they were to go too far, they would touch the bottom line of the other five countries 'defenses, causing the vertical alliance army to appear again. At that time, how would the Qin country deal with it?
“……”
Wei Liao was speechless. Right now, he only had one feeling, and that was that he had the strength but no place to use it!
Water had no fixed shape, and soldiers had no fixed momentum!
This was guerrilla warfare. They did not fight directly with the enemy's large army, but constantly blocked the enemy's rear, extending the battle line and at the same time, prolonging the war!
Ye Yu continued," To swim without attacking is to escape, and to attack without swimming is to risk your life. This tactic of mine is called guerrilla warfare." The most important point was the following sixteen words: When the enemy is stationed, we harass him; when the enemy is tired, we attack him; when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue him!”
"Use your position to exchange for time, and use your new recruits to exchange for your elite soldiers.”
"After all, no matter how untrained the soldiers are, they can still throw boulders and rolling logs. Needless to say, they can shoot arrows. One out of ten arrows can kill one!”
" Then, I will gather the most elite troops to block your rear. This is the basic principle of following the most advantageous battle location, deploying the most effective troops to block the enemy, and constantly searching for the fleeting opportunity to retreat as soon as the battle is over!”
"In this way, the State of Zhao will not be easily captured by the State of Qin unless the King of Qin is willing to pay the price in blood! There's even the risk of the country being destroyed!"
……
After Ye Yu finished speaking, he placed down a white piece. The outcome of the chess game was decided!
He had won!
“……”
Wei Liao was stunned in his seat, the essence of guerrilla warfare kept ringing in his ears!
Old Yellow sat at the side, his eyes shining brightly!
Now, he could confirm that Ye Yu was not Beiming Zi.
This was because Beiming Zi's attainments in the art of war were definitely not at Ye Yu's level!
Wei Liao: " Sir, you are a citizen of Qin. You are really a great fortune for the country!!”
After saying that.
Wei Liao solemnly stood up and bowed,""Thank you for your guidance, sir. This junior is grateful!”
"What's the use of your gratitude?" Ye Yu stretched out his hand. Lose ten gold coins to this old man for a game of chess, listen to this old man talk about war stories, and add one gold coin. Hurry up and pay! I don't buy on credit!"
Wei Liao was speechless.
Old Yellow was speechless.
