"Quick! Take this map with you, set off and return quickly, and be sure to tell Meng Wu to break through the defense line as quickly as possible and hand over the map to General Meng Fu, who is still in Gaocheng! ”

After shooting the man to death, before Li Ling could calm down, a soldier came to report a major discovery.

Following the soldier into another room, Li Ling suddenly found the battle map hanging on the wall.

Although he didn't recognize the Korean characters, Li Ling knew the combat map, and according to the marks on this map, the South Korean 150,000 troops facing Mengwu were not the main force of the South Korean army at all, and the real main force was gathering north of Gaocheng at the moment.

Taking down the map and handing it to Baili Meng, Li Ling became a little flustered.

It should have been a good thing to know that Meng Ling's location was only a few dozen miles away from his large army, but this battle map clearly told Li Ling that a sword of Damocles was hanging above their heads at this moment.

"General, the military situation is so urgent, the general should leave first, and the last general can take his men and horses to continue to investigate the information, and then return."

"That's okay, you must bring me all the valuable things, if you find that the situation is not right, I allow you to directly lead people to find a suitable route and return directly to Qin."

The person in front of him is named Liu Teng, just a partial general, not famous, but the three thousand soldiers brought out by Li Ling this time are all his troops.

Except for the battle map and a large number of documents, no talisman was found in this village, and Li Ling went back to lead the army first, and it was a good idea to hand it over to Liu Teng here.

It was already late at night, and as soon as he stepped up, Li Ling took Baili Meng and ordered ten more people to accompany him, and went straight to where the Mengwu army was.

By dawn, Li Ling had finally arrived at the battlefield.

After a fierce battle that lasted one day and one night, although the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, it had also divided and surrounded the 150,000 Korean army and inflicted heavy losses.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, as long as he fought for a few more hours, it would not take more than noon, and the 150,000 Korean troops could be completely annihilated, but Li Ling knew that he didn't have that much time at all.

"Go back to Shigao City, hurry up!"

Led by a soldier, Li Ling soon found Meng Fu's father and son, and they were already in one place.

"Master, can't you see that in a little more time, we can wipe out the main force of the Korean army here?"

"Fart, if you don't go back now, when dawn comes, we will be all wiped out!"

Regardless of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, he directly took the map from Baili Meng and handed it to Meng Fu.

After unfolding the map, Meng Fu only glanced at it and realized the seriousness of the situation, and then thought of what Wang Jian had said in Gaocheng before.

Wang Jian came from the north of Gaocheng, and he specifically mentioned that he did not encounter large-scale movements of the Korean army in the north of Gaocheng, but he found many well-equipped Korean cavalry moving westward.

Now it seems that those troops are likely to be the scouts of the main force of the Korean army, and the reason why they moved westward is the same as marked on the current map, that is, to cut off the back road of Gaocheng and completely besiege the Qin army in Gaocheng.

"Report~~!"

"Say!"

"General Qiyu, to the north... The main force of the South Korean army was found in the north, at least tens of thousands of people! ”

"What!"

"It seems that they already know that you have left Gaocheng, and you are planning to fight our army to the death in this place!"

Hearing the report from the scout, Li Ling immediately realized that the situation had changed again, and the Han army did not besiege Gaocheng according to the original plan, but wanted to go straight between Gaocheng and the battlefield!

Without a strong city to rely on, the remaining less than 100,000 Qin soldiers are simply not enough to fight against such a large scale of the main force of the Korean army, although the map does not indicate the number of troops of the Korean army, but it is obvious that the number of the Korean army that can be used as the main assault force is definitely far beyond the scale of the 150,000 people they are encountering at the moment.

"Gather troops and return to Gaocheng!"

"No, no!"

"What's the matter, Master?"

Meng Ling's side had just ordered the troops to return to Gaocheng, but he didn't expect Li Ling to raise objections again, you must know that it was Li Ling who shouted to let the troops return to Gaocheng just now.

"Now that the Korean army has concentrated all its forces in the north, it is better to change our strategy now when we return to Gaocheng. The infantry returned to Gaocheng to hold on to reinforcements, and the cavalry units, which had the advantage of high mobility, quickly attacked southward and penetrated directly into the Korean hinterland, all for the purpose of destruction, without the need to attack the city, thus forcing the Korean army to divide its forces. This can not only reduce the pressure on Gaocheng, but also disrupt the deployment of the Korean army, and if there is a chance, you can also kill back to Daqin for help. ”

"Good! Then according to the Master's words. ”

Riding a horse to find a place with a better view, he glanced at the translucent battlefield illuminated by the fire, and directly adjusted the deployment.

The infantry led by Li Ling and Meng Wu quickly returned to Gaocheng, and he personally led the cavalry troops to the south.

It seems that this arrangement is to put Li Ling in the dangerous situation of being besieged by the main force of the Korean army, but in fact, Meng Fu knows very well that it is safe to stay in Gaocheng.

Because of the cavalry, there is not much left.

After receiving the new order, the Qin army began to adjust its deployment, and the original situation of division and encirclement of the Korean army has also revealed a lot of gaps.

Although there are a large number of these South Korean troops, most of them are strong men who have been temporarily captured, and so many people have already died, they have long been completely frightened.

"Stop them for me, and make sure the army returns to the city!"

Not long after the Qin army completed the division of troops and separated from the battlefield, the main force of the Korean army had already been killed, and at this moment, there were still nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army who had not had time to enter Gaocheng.

After giving the order, Li Ling rode directly into the city and completely threw the command of the battlefield to Meng Wu.

Seeing Li Ling enter the city, Meng Wu didn't say much, after all, he is now the main general, and at this moment, the main general must stay in a safe place to be able to command the battle.

The strategies of the Qin and Han armies were all temporary adjustments, the Qin army hurriedly returned to Gaocheng, while the Han army originally moved westward, and now turned back to the south, and the first to kill Gaocheng was all cavalry without exception.

The cavalry troops could not attack the city, but they could completely crush the Qin infantry who had not yet had time to enter the city.

Meng Wu saw that the elite cavalry of the Han army was getting closer and closer to the gate of the city where he was, and the only thing he could do was to temporarily pull up a group of crossbowmen to suppress it, and then watch the Han cavalry wantonly kill the soldiers of the Qin army who had not yet had time to enter the city.

However, at the moment when Meng Wu, who was the commander of the front line, almost didn't dare to open his eyes and look at the battlefield, a person suddenly made a move!
