Ying Chi's words were like a flash of inspiration to Wang He and the others, as they had many questions answered.
In fact, they had felt strange about this battle at the beginning.
For example, three years ago, Qin had clearly taken Shangdang from Korea. At that time, Qin had stationed as many as 100,000 troops in Shangdang.
After that, Shangdang County Governor Feng Ting defected to Zhao. Zhao then sent troops to snatch it, but only 50,000 troops came.
At that time, the Qin army in Shangdang could have repelled the 50,000 troops of the Zhao army.
However, the King of Qin ordered Wang He and the others to stay put and allow Zhao to send reinforcements.
When the 450,000 soldiers of Zhao gathered in Shangdang, the King of Qin ordered Wang He and the others to counterattack. At the same time, he mobilized the entire country's soldiers to reinforce Shangdang.
Now that they recalled all of this, Wang He and the others finally understood that the King of Qin had done this intentionally.
He had deliberately made Zhao send a large number of soldiers to Shangdang so that he could capture them all in one fell swoop!
Unfortunately, the King of Qin had underestimated the Zhao army.
To be more precise, he had underestimated Lianpo's ability to defend the city!
This old thing was really good at defending. For the past three years, no matter how the Qin army provoked him, he would not come out.
After all, Lianpo understood that the Zhao army was far inferior to the Qin army in terms of strength.
For this, Qin could only use a plan to sow discord and provoke the King of Zhao's dissatisfaction towards Lianpo, appointing Zhao Kuo as the general of the Zhao army.
"So, this is King's true intention!”
Wang He and the others suddenly understood, and then their faces became awkward.
They had been in Shangdang for three years, but they still didn't understand the King of Qin's intention. Instead, Ying He, who had never been on the battlefield, revealed the true purpose of this battle with just a few words.
This made them feel ashamed.
Especially when she thought about how she had mocked Ying Chen just now, she felt even more ashamed.
Seeing the ashamed faces of the others, Ying Chi didn't look down on them.
After all, he had the ability of a transmigrator's 'foresight' to understand the deeper meaning of the Battle of Changping.
Moreover, the King of Qin was worried that his plan would be exposed, so he never revealed these things to anyone.
Therefore, it was understandable that Wang He and the others didn't know about this.
"Perhaps the only person who truly understood Father's intentions is this old man.”Ying Chi looked at Baiqi.
Baiqi was also shocked. He had only wanted to test Ying Mo, but he had not expected Ying Mo to see through the King of Qin's intentions.
This made him feel somewhat incredulous!
One had to know that Baiqi had spent a long time trying to figure out the reason for this battle.
"This kid's talent in military affairs is far more monstrous than this old man imagined!”Baiqi thought to himself.
"Cough cough, Third Young Master is right. The real purpose of this battle is to capture the Zhao army in one fell swoop.”
Baiqi said, proving that Ying Lin was right.
Wang He and the others all showed admiration. At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate this eleven-year-old youth!
"Alright, back to the main topic!"
"The Shangdang War is no longer important. What's important is how to make these 360,000 Zhao soldiers stay."”
As he spoke, Baiqi pointed at the Geomancy Map of Changping and said,"If we want to capture the Zhao army in one fell swoop, there are two steps.”
"First, completely cut off the supply of grain to the Zhao army. This is the grain transportation route of the Zhao army. I have decided to send 2,000 soldiers to bypass Mount Ping and lay an ambush in this valley. Once the grain transportation team of the Zhao army appears, we will take them by surprise…"
"Once the logistics of the Zhao army is cut off, our army will first take down Ling City, then circle around the waterway and block all the retreat routes of the Zhao army.”
"At that time, the Zhao troops scattered around Mount Ping will definitely gather at Sang City to prevent us from attacking them one by one.”
Before Baiqi could finish, Wang He interrupted,"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to take down Sang City? After all, the Zhao army has been guarding the city all this time.”
The others nodded. They knew that Baiqi wanted to gather the scattered Zhao troops into one city and capture them all.
However, the problem was that this would strengthen the cohesiveness of the Zhao army, and the difficulty of attacking the city would increase!
" It's indeed more difficult to attack the city," Ying Mo said." But don't forget that the Zhao army has run out of supplies. Even if we don't attack Sang City, they won't be able to hold on for long with the supplies in the city.”
"Not bad!" Baiqi gave Ying He an appreciative look.
As expected, Ying Cui understood him!
Wang He and the others froze.
That's right, they had cut off the supply routes of the Zhao army.
Even if they did not come out, they would not be able to hold on for long.
At that time, Zhao Jun would be so hungry that he could not walk. Wouldn't he be at their mercy?
"Then who should we send to intercept the Zhao army's rations?”Sima Jin could not help but ask.
Meng Wu, who had been acting as an invisible person at the side, was instantly delighted. The opportunity had come!
"Lord Wu An, I'm willing to…"
"Old man, let me go. I don't need two thousand soldiers, just one thousand!”
Before Meng Wu could finish his words, Ying Lin spoke first.
What a joke! This was a good opportunity to make a contribution, how could he let it go!
Meng Wu's face stiffened. He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Ying Chen's cold eyes, he immediately shut his mouth.
Forget it, I can't afford to offend you, the Second Wang's substitute!
Seeing that Meng Wu had given up, Ying Chi gave him a look that said," At least you know what's good for you."
"Third Young Master, you've never been on a battlefield before," Wang He said."Won't you be a little…"
Wang He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Blocking the supply route of the Zhao army was the most crucial step to annihilate the Zhao army. Ying He had never been on the battlefield, nor had he commanded an army to fight. If anything happened, it would affect the subsequent plans.
In addition, it was also the most important point.
They didn't know how many soldiers the grain transport team of Zhao had, but they were sure that it wouldn't be less.
Ying Mo only brought a thousand people to intercept them. Wasn't he a little too confident?
He didn't want to get himself killed before the grain road was cut off.
Wang He and the others had to consider this point.
After all, Ying He was the son of the king of Qin. If anything happened on the battlefield, they would be held responsible!
Facing Wang He's question, Ying He only said one sentence,""I'm willing to make a military pledge. If I can't do it, I'll be punished by military law!”
" But…" Wang He wanted to say something, but Baiqi interrupted him,""Have you decided?"
"Lord Wu An!"
The expressions of Wang He and the others changed. Baiqi was going to agree to Ying He leading the army!
Ying Jiu nodded with a firm face.
Bai Qi was silent for a while, then said,"I'll let you go. However, you'll have to bring 100 Iron Eagle Warriors with you."”
Upon hearing the name, Wang He and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
With the protection of the Iron Eagle warriors, even if Ying Mo failed, his life wouldn't be in danger.
But Ying Rong refused!
"No need, if you say 1,000 people, then 1,000 people. A real man's word carries nine tripods!”Ying Kong said.
Bai Qi knitted his brows. He knew that Ying Mo was powerful, and that he could fight hundreds of people alone.
However, this was a battlefield after all, and individual strength was limited!
Moreover, Ying Mo had never led an army before, which made Baiqi worried.
As if he could read Baiqi's mind, Ying Chen said,"How about this, let Meng Wu be my assistant and follow me?”
Meng Wu couldn't help but be stunned. Did he have a chance to fight again?
Baiqi looked at Meng Wu, thinking that with Meng Wu helping Ying He, there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, Meng Wu had stayed in Changping for three years and participated in many battles. Moreover, his ability to lead troops in battle was not bad.
"Sure!"
Seeing that Baiqi had agreed, Ying Mo heaved a sigh of relief, and then his mood became excited.
He could finally go into battle and kill the enemy!
