Chapter 692: Persuade them to retreat

No matter how this big man came, Shang Wen always understood one thing, that is, the ability of Yan Guo to send a special envoy must be related to the military. Otherwise, Qin's military adviser would not remind Shang Wen on the side.

Shang Wen talked to the Guowei Mansion on the phone to find out the situation.

"According to the report sent by our military observation mission, Yan is not very optimistic. Not to mention low morale, and, most importantly, their frontline defense system is no longer able to support much. In addition, our air power is weakened. , These situations overlap, I am afraid that the Yan people will not be able to support it for long." Wei Liao said.

"Yep". Shang Wen just gave a gratitude. Did not say anything. He doesn't know what the front line has developed into. But in short, the power between the Yan army and the Qi army has been out of balance.

"According to the report, the Qi army’s commandos are frequent, and the guerrillas in the control area cooperate with each other. If the Qi army has artillery, then I think it will not take long before the Yan army will collapse across the board. I have already talked to Wang Jian and General Wang on the phone. His meaning is also very clear. Sooner or later, the Yan army will have a large-scale rout. Moreover, the extent of this rout will depend on whether the Yan army has a viable force. At present, there is still another division in Yan State that has not been engaged in combat. But the combat effectiveness of this division is worth doubting." Wei Liao unceremoniously pointed out the fact that the Yan army's combat effectiveness was poor.

"So, do you have any necessary measures?" Shang Wen asked on the phone.

"Yes, that is, let the Yan Jun take the initiative to retreat. Retreat to near the border. At the same time, we will send a large-scale trainer. This number may be between 2,000 and 5,000." Wei Liao said .

"Why do you need so many people?" Shang Wen asked.

"We need to re-establish a brand-new Yan army. Only in this way can the front be kept near the borders of Yan and Qi." Wei Liao said.

"En. I understand." Shang Wen nodded. But is it possible? Can Yan's economy support the emergence of such a huge army? And still actively retreat. With Yan Guo's style of taking advantage of nothing but eating. Shang Wen really didn't know how courage Yan Guo had to order the retreat.

"Okay. Military, I understand. I will explain to Yan Guo as soon as possible." Shang Wen said. Then the two detained the phone.

Immediately, Shang Wen and Ju Xin communicated on the phone. Sure enough, Ju Xin told the current situation of Yan State on the phone, and the Qin State Military Observer Group clearly pointed out that Yan State’s current situation was unable to form an effective counterbalance with Qi army in terms of military power. Especially the Qi State Commando, Yan State simply does not have a complete set of defense systems to contend with. Especially the basic unit of his combat power, the infantry. Morale is not high. If this continues, Yan Guo will be defeated sooner or later. Therefore, the Qin State Military Observer Group gave a suggestion to withdraw early.

When this proposal was presented to King Yan. King Yan was shocked. He thought that his army maintained a strong fighting capacity. Now he is facing such a scene. He has no choice. Had to push the problem to Qin State, let Qin State find a way. Or in exchange for more military assistance, or hope that Qin will send troops.

"Mr. Ju. I tell you clearly that it is impossible for Qin to send troops. Sending troops is an unrealistic problem." Shang Wen clearly told Ju Xin on the phone.

"But, what shall we do?" Ju Xin asked anxiously.

"Retreat, take the initiative to retreat. We will find a way to complete this retreat." Shang Wen said.

"Retreat, my king's request is not to retreat." Ju Xin said.

"At present. Retreat is indeed a good choice. If the Qi army comes, we will be all over at that time. Yan will suffer heavy losses. I am afraid that Yan will not be able to bear such a loss. Moreover, Yan does not currently have it. A decent new force will be put into battle again. If this happens, the country of Yan is likely to face the situation of being beaten to Yandu." Shang Wen told Ju Xin of the worst situation.

"Here, Master Qin, think of a way. We must help Yan State. You know, Qin Yan is an alliance. We have many things in common. Qin State has set up a concession area in Yan State." Ju Xin Said.

"I understand. I will definitely protect my nationals from harm. You can rest assured about this." Shang Wen said.

\"But it’s not time for Qin State to dispatch ground troops, and our country does not allow ground troops to intervene. This requires our king’s approval. This is difficult to achieve. However, I still suggest that you listen to our military observation team. As well as the opinions of the National Lieutenant Mansion, prepare for the retreat as soon as possible. In addition, we have also dispatched a larger training group to help you retrain an army in order to solve the problem of low morale and poor combat effectiveness of the Yan army. "Shang Wen said comfortingly.

Although Ju Xin knew that this was Shang Wen's comforting words, the premise was after all that Yan Guo took the initiative to retreat. Under such conditions, he really didn't know how to speak to King Yan.

Then after hanging up the phone. Shangwen also specifically consulted Wang Jian’s opinion. After all, he is an expert in this regard. Wang Jian’s meaning is that it is best to establish a stable defensive line near the border between the two countries. This defensive use of reinforced concrete structure bunker is composed of forts. . Barbed wire, dense machine gun bunkers provide a cross firepower net. Reinforced concrete fortifications can prevent any shelling. In particular, the emergence of machine gun shelters. These can effectively form a firepower net to prevent the opponent from breaking into one's own position.

The last time the Qi army commando boldly attacked the Yan army's position, after the Yan army's civil structure bunker was exploded with explosives, the Qin State Observation Group planned to build such a strong fortification after the emergence of reinforced concrete. Naturally think of this. At the same time, these defense systems constitute an intricate defense in depth. As a result, even if the Qi army is powerful as a commando, it cannot effectively break through its defense in depth.

If Wang Jian was dealing with Qi Jun, he would naturally not be willing to spend so much money to build such a fortification, but the target was Yan, and the offensive was Qi, which was a time consuming national power for them when they came. Wang Jian naturally proposed such a defense system to Yan.

Yan Guo doesn't care whether he accepts it or not. Qin will sell this defense system to Yan. Because this can drive Qin's cement and steel production. This is a good thing that serves multiple purposes. It is impossible for Qin to quit projects that are profitable. The military thinks so too. And they also hope to use this to test their defense system plans.
