Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 73 The Battle Is Coming
For several days, Pang Juan's camp did not move, and a strange breath spread quietly.It seems that there are no two large armies between Handan and Xindu, and the battle a few days ago may have been just a nightmare.

The army camp of Zhao State, the large tent of the Chinese army.Footsteps came, Fan Shun held the bamboo slips in his hands and before he finished the tent, the voice came in: "My lord, a letter from Yun Miao".

"letter?".Zhao Wuming looked at Fan Shun who was hurriedly approaching, slightly surprised, and stepped down from the main seat.Seeing this, Sun Buer hurriedly followed.

Fan Shun showed a hint of joy on his face, and reminded Zhao Wuming: "My lord, have you forgotten the news that you sent a letter to Dudu to inquire about it a few days ago?".

"The blue sparrow?"Zhao Wuming quickly took the bamboo slips and opened them impatiently, his eyes showed a hint of surprise for a long time.

Sun Buer looked at the two suspiciously, and Zhao Wuming handed him the bamboo slips in his hand.Sun Buer watched carefully, and looked at the two in disbelief: "Qingque is at Yunmiao's residence in Xindu."

"Of course there will be no fakes."Fan Shun looked at Sun Buer, but he couldn't stop the joy in his eyes.

Zhao Wuming turned around and looked at the map hanging behind: "Qingque is safe, and I can fight against Pang Juan to my heart's content."

"Since the destruction of Handan City, our army's morale has been low. We have lost more than half of our losses in successive battles, but fortunately, the whole army has unified orders, and we can fight against Pang Juan. It's just that Pang Juan's camp has been too weird these days. It stands to reason that I If the army attacked him at night, he would lead the army to attack the next day, but why did Pang Juan stand still uncharacteristically?"Sun Buer also turned to look at the map. He thought about this problem for many days, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Fan Shun gradually raised his brows, thinking in his heart: "Pang Juan has an army of more than [-], and consumes countless food and grass every day. Doesn't he know that every day that he delays, the strength of Xindu will increase. At the same time, he It will be more difficult to destroy our country of Zhao."

"Pang Juan's army is three times the size of our army. If he attacks our army by force, he will naturally be unable to defend it. But at this time, the decadence of our army has been swept away, and the whole army is united. Pay a price."Zhao Wuming looked at the map and fell into deep thought, subconsciously answering Fan Shun's question.

Sun Buer glanced at the map: "Could it be that night attack that made Pang Juan realize that he was attacking our army. Even after he was defeated, he would not be able to swallow our Zhao country in one fell swoop, so he stood still."

"Our army is stationed on the only way to Xindu and Handan, and there are mountains on both sides. If I were Pang Juan, I would at least fight a battle if I had nothing to do, but why was he so quiet?"Zhao Wuming looked at the map for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and felt bored for a while.

A thought flashed in his mind, Fan Shun looked at Zhao Wuming and blurted out subconsciously: "Young Master also said that there is nothing to do, what if Pang Juan has something to do?".

"Is there a way? There are mountains on both sides, and this is the only way to pass. Even if Pang Juan is capable, can he still fly over us?"Sun Buer felt that he had heard a joke. He had explored the terrain here in the past few days, and he had no other way to send letters except through his own camp.

Zhao Wuming took a few steps forward, and slid his hand across the map: "Maybe we thought in the wrong direction, Sun Buer, you have been exploring the terrain for the past few days. You can find that there are places where pedestrians can pass through these two mountain ranges."

"Yes, from our camp, there is a dangerous road on the left, only one person can pass at a time."Sun Buer thought about it carefully, and walked a few steps forward, marking the road on the map.

Fan Shun looked at Zhao Wuming suspiciously, not understanding what to say about this kind of road: "Young master, there is nothing to worry about on such a dangerous road that can only be walked by one person. Even if Wei Jun wants to pass, then the time... ".

As soon as he said this, Fan Shun was taken aback suddenly.time?Pang Juan's army has not moved in the past few days.

Seeing that Fan Shun only said half a sentence, Zhao Wuming turned to look at him: "What's wrong with the time?".

"Pang Juan's army of 30 has been quiet for the past few days. Are they building roads secretly? After the roads are completed, they will surprise our army's camp."Fan Shun was startled, and told Zhao Wuming his guess.

Zhao Wuming turned around again and looked at the map: "I don't know if the road will be built, but according to my inference. Pang Juan has not moved these days, so he must be setting up surprise soldiers. If he can't find out in advance, wait for him to attack At that time, it will be the day when our army will be defeated."

"In the past few days, my subordinates have been exploring the terrain everywhere. If Pang Juan wants to set up a surprise army, then it can only be here."Sun Buer still pointed to the dangerous road, with a particularly firm tone.

Fan Shun watched carefully on the map: "If the Wei army expands this road, there will definitely be movement, and our army will not be able to detect it. Unless he just sent troops to pass secretly these days, but did not expand the road on a large scale."

"Calculating the time, if the Wei army smuggled across the country day and night, there should be no less than [-] people left."Sun Buer silently calculated in his heart that maybe this number could be bigger.

Zhao Wuming heard eight thousand Wei troops, and looked at Sun Buer: "How many soldiers and horses do you need to destroy them?"

"The roads are dangerous, and the soldiers of the Wei army will definitely not wear heavy armor. If the subordinates go to destroy them, at least [-] soldiers and horses are needed to ensure that they are not lost."Sun Buer thought again, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a long time.

Ten thousand?Zhao Wuming was lost in thought and balance.At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and a soldier didn't care to salute, and hurriedly reported: "There has been a change in Pangjuan's camp, and there seems to be signs of massing troops."

"Pang Juan? You go down and summon the prince and Captain Xue to come quickly."Zhao Wuming was startled, it seemed that Pang Juan had already finished his preparations and was about to lead his army to attack.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, the soldiers quickly turned around and walked outside the tent.

Zhao Wuming didn't care about talking too much, and looked at Sun Buer and Fan Shun: "You two hurry up and order [-] soldiers, go to destroy Pang Juan's strange soldiers, and remember to return quickly if there are no soldiers from the Wei army."

"promise".Sun Buer and Fan Shun bowed to Zhao Wuming, turned around and walked outside the tent.

Not long after, Zhao Yu and Xue Qian hurried over, seeing Zhao Wuming, it was too late to be polite: "But Pang Juan sent troops."

"Soldiers came to report just now, and Pang Juan seems to be gathering. The eldest brother and Captain Xue can now reorganize the imperial army and private soldiers."Zhao Wuming hurriedly asked the most concerned question.

Both Zhao Yu and Xue Qian nodded: "The integration has been completed. As long as the fourth brother gives an order, both the imperial army and private soldiers can be dispatched."

"Okay, call the soldiers and prepare to face Pang Juan."A sense of pride suddenly rose in Zhao Wuming's heart, and he immediately gave the order.

The sound of drums resounded throughout the camp, soldiers began to gather one by one, and phalanxes gradually appeared.After a long time when the last soldier returned to the army, Zhao Wuming led Zhao Yu and Xue Qian, patted their horses and walked slowly towards the front of the army.Immediately, the drum beat loudly, and the three of them slapped the horse's back fiercely, galloping forward with the army behind them.
