NFBE Chapter 243 My King of Qin is Really Fierce
Chapter 243 My King of Qin is Really Fierce
The ancients had thirty-six strategies, all kinds of tactics, but there was no such large-scale landing war that would cut you in half.
Because they are all called "water masters", who has ever been to the sea? If you don't know anything about the sea, how can you understand these things?
Okay! A death game officially begins.
The royal capital was unable to send reinforcements to rescue Babutai, and the Qin army sandwiched Babutai and the 50,000 troops in the middle.
The only thing Bochijin could do was to quickly issue an order to his third brother, asking him to lead the barbarian troops to rescue the 50,000 people.
The Third Prince immediately wrote a letter to the Khan who was far away outside the Great Wall. Bochijin's command was a mess! It led to the siege of 50,000 soldiers and horses. He was not qualified to be the commander!
the other side……
The south also received news that Qingzhou had been almost completely recovered.
Moreover, Li Jize not only recovered the entire Qingzhou, it should be said that he would definitely recover it. Moreover, he also achieved the feat of encircling the 50,000-strong "Two Qi Army" of the barbarians.
Oh my God!
This kind of fighting method has never been seen or heard of before.
When some people began to review Li Jize's fighting style, they had to admire the King of Qin's boldness and deep scheming.
Everyone thought the news had leaked, but Li Jize chose not to follow the usual path and continued his attack step by step.
Babutai was just happy that this idiot would follow the plot he had designed and fight to the death on the front line, killing countless Qin soldiers...
Li Jize was all talk and no action; he simply didn't attack! In fact, he had drawn the main force of the barbarians to the front line, while his other army went around from the sea to cut off the enemy's retreat.
Of course, no one expected that Bochijin would dispatch a Korean navy.
What was even more unexpected was that Li Jize also dispatched a "Western navy".
"If nothing unexpected happens... I believe these 50,000 soldiers will organize a breakout."
As the only person in the southern court who knew about military affairs, Gao Pan came to this conclusion when summarizing the Qingzhou Campaign.
The Empress was a little dissatisfied, "Can't these 50,000 people be eaten?"
Gao Pan's answer was embarrassing.
"To completely surround the enemy, our forces must be several times greater than theirs! The only thing the Qin army did was to circumvent their rear and cut off the supply lines of these 50,000 men."
It’s very simple. How many people do you need to cover 50,000 people?
Unfortunately, the Qin army took the elite route, and their number was their shortcoming.
The empress felt a little regretful. She looked at Ruan Daying again and asked, "Mr. Ruan, now that the Qingzhou campaign has concluded, does that mean... we've missed our chance?"
What she meant was that, while Li Jize was fighting fiercely with the other side, we also wanted to send troops to the north to get a piece of the pie?
Ruan Daying shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, this is difficult! Furthermore, we have powerful enemies surrounding us on both sides. If we send troops north, how can we guarantee our own safety?"
The implication is that even though Li Jize is having fun in the north, we cannot get involved.
Our mission is to unify the south! Why not let Li Jize fight the barbarians and bandits in the north? After we unify the south, Li Jize will unify the north. In theory, the Great Qi will be restored.
really……
The Empress felt that Ruan Daying was right. What she should do was to unify the South, and then gather enough strength...
When the three forces in the north are exhausted from fighting, launch a thundering attack to kill all three bastards.
"Where is the King of the Northern Expedition?"
The empress was so excited that she immediately called out to her "King of the Northern Expedition". Before the Northern Expedition...
You'd better help me pacify the south first.
Poor Gao Pan, she met such a guy. Seeing that Li Jize had won and gained the advantage, she also wanted to resort to war.
"Chen is here!"
"Which one do you think we should attack, the Zuo Santong group or the Lin Jiaxuan group?"
Gao Pan: “…”
OK! Knowing that he couldn't avoid this matter today, Gao Pan could only answer truthfully, "I think we should attack Zuo Santong's army!"
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers in the court were whispering and discussing.
"Oh? Why not the Lin family's Xuanbu?"
"Your Majesty! Lin Jiaxuan only cares about business and lacks strategic ambition. If we attack Zuo Santong's forces, he will definitely stand idly by. Conversely, if we attack Lin Jiaxuan's forces, Zuo Santong will surely take advantage of our weakness and launch an attack."
I have to say that Gao Pan crawled out of a pile of dead bodies after all, so he is still very insightful.
Of course, he would not tell His Majesty that he was good at land warfare.
Lin Jiaxuan's specialty is naval warfare! The navy he controls is said to be the pirate king of the entire Daqi and Dongwo seas!
Even if a seagull flies by, it will be slapped hard in the face.
What's more, there's the history of Li Jize conquering Qingzhou. What if Lin Jiaxuan follows suit and turns against him?
Because of this, after much thought, he felt that attacking Zuo Santong would be the safest option.
but……
One problem is that Zuo Santong claims to have 300,000 people!
Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
Li Jize, who commanded 50,000 Qin troops, looked so LOW no matter how you looked at him.
How many men does Gao Pan have?
One hundred thousand!
But everyone knows that basically when these military leaders say 100,000, you have to give them a discount!
If he hadn't committed some act of drawing a salary without working, he wouldn't be considered a general in this era.
Well, it’s one thing to collect the salary without working, but then there’s also some embezzlement on weapons and armor.
When the generals separated these soldiers, they found that the most capable fighters were actually their "retainers"! In other words, their private soldiers.
These private soldiers are different from ordinary soldiers. They have the best weapons, armor, and the highest salaries. They are only loyal to their own masters and do not care about the emperor.
Of course, the price is also very expensive.
Gao Pan didn't have many private soldiers, only about 3,000 or so.
In fact, this is already very high. Look at how many people Li Jin has. Only about 800!
What about Li Jize?
His private army is 0! You can also say that his private army is 50,000 Qin troops. Each one is an elite!
"How sure are you?"
The empress lowered her head. Before the battle started, she asked the other party if they were sure they could win.
Gao Pan looked embarrassed. "This... is a matter of war, Your Majesty! I dare not say that I am sure of victory."
The Empress didn't say anything, but just sighed, and it was obvious...
I, the Empress of Great Qi, have only conferred titles on two princes, one is the King of Qin and the other is the King of Zhengbei!
When the King of Zhengbei heard this, he understood what the empress meant. She had high hopes for him and hoped that he would be able to recover the north in the future.
but……
A prince is a prince, he is not as good as my prince, not as good as my King of Qin.
Li Jize is really awesome, whether he was leading the charge before or he is now sitting in the rear and making plans, he has endless tricks up his sleeve.
But he is so fierce! He is so deadly!
