Chapter 1706: Ambush on All Sides (Part I)
Chapter 1706: Ambush on All Sides (Part I)
The Qin army has an army of 210,000 in Yecheng, and this time in order to confuse and let Han Xin be tricked, Zhang Liang used an army of 110,000 to act.
Therefore, the strength of the real ambush coalition army is only 100,000, and the coalition army that fled north happens to be only 100,000.
100,000 ambushes 100,000, this is definitely a formidable figure in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Bai Qi, it is just a routine operation.
Bai Qi is good at using terrain to fight, even if the opponent's number is the same as his own, as long as the terrain is used well, he can completely annihilate the opponent.
As for the 110,000 troops left on Yecheng's side, Qin Hao naturally had another role, after all, after Han Xin fled north, if the Qin army didn't pursue, wouldn't it tell Han Xin that there was an ambush ahead?
"Where is Gao Shun and Yu Ban?" Qin Hao ordered in a deep voice.
Gao Shun and Yu Ban stood up together and shouted: "The end will be." ”
"Gao Shun, this king ordered you to be the main general, Yu Ban as the deputy general, and lead 50,000 troops to guard Yecheng, pacify the people, and prevent the rioters from rioting."
"No." Gao Shun and Yu Ban shouted.
Qin Hao nodded and continued to order: "Where are Zhang Liao, Long Ji, Xu Huang, Yue Xi, Li Jin, and Jiang Yi?" ”
"The end will be." The six generals stood up together to answer the road.
"This king will have the remaining 60,000 troops to pursue Han Xin, and you will each lead 10,000 troops, there is one thing that must be urgent, that is, the greater the momentum, the better, it is best to pretend to be 150,000 people for this king." Qin Hao ordered with a confident expression.
"No." The six generals responded in unison.
Although Han Xin piled up a large number of ignition materials in the northern camp, and even burned it for a day, it was only burned for half a day before it was extinguished by the Qin army.
After the fire was extinguished, Zhang Liao led his people to quickly clear a road, and then under Qin Hao's personal leadership, an army of 60,000 embarked on the road of pursuit in the north.
Although there were only 60,000 people chasing after the north, they carried a large number of flags, and the momentum along the way was very great, so they thought that the 150,000 army was chasing after them.
Soon, Han Xin's side received the news that the Qin army had chased after him through the secret agents left behind, and immediately ordered: "Order Zhang Kui in the rear, when the Qin army's pursuers enter the main road, they will set fire." ”
That's right, even if he fled in embarrassment, Han Xin didn't want to be beaten passively all the time, but instead wanted to use fire to ambush the Qin army that came to pursue.
"Report ...... Qiyu, lord, the Qin army found out about our intentions, not only did not come in, but also shot a lot of our people, General Zhang Kui had no choice but to block the pursuit. ”
Hearing this, Han Xin's eyes suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and he muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it still failed." ”
Generally, after the retreat, the pursuing opponent will ignore some details in impatience, and this time is the most suitable for ambush.
However, it is also necessary to distinguish who the opponent is, if it is a famous general like Bai Qi, it is almost impossible to succeed in ambushing with such a small trick.
Han Xin also knows that the chances of success are not great, but there is no harm in trying, what if he is careless and makes himself successful? But the truth is that in the end, it still failed.
"Send an order to the front army, speed up."
Han Xin's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "There is not much fire oil left in our army, and there are few important roads that must be passed, and the method of fire attack and blocking the road can be used once or twice, if you can't take advantage of this gap to completely get rid of the Qin army, 10,000 people will only be caught up with a dead end." ”
"No."
The speed of the coalition army was fast enough, after all, this time the city was abandoned and retreated in a hurry, and only material materials were taken away, and there was no small family of officials.
Most of the officials of Zhao State have been served by the Qin army in the Bohai Sea, and the Korean officials are all in northern Hebei, and there are no women and children to slow down the marching speed, and the marching speed of the army is naturally faster.
The marching speed of the coalition army was far faster than usual, but Han Xin was no longer satisfied, and for some reason, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, as if he had missed something important, but he couldn't say what it was.
"Am I being too careful?" Han Xin said secretly.
At the same time, a hundred miles away, Bai Qi had already set up a pocket array, waiting for Han Xin to take the initiative to send it to the door.
At this time, in addition to Zhang Liang by Bai Qi's side, there was another person, who was Li Jing who broke away from the Bohai battlefield and took the initiative to go to the Yecheng battlefield.
Not long after Li Jing arrived in Yecheng, he received the news that Yecheng was about to be unable to hold out, and he concluded that Han Xin would not sit still and would definitely abandon the city to break through, so he prepared to ambush Han Xin on the road back to the north.
The ambush site prepared by Li Jing was much farther away than Bai Qi, and it was already in the territory of South Korea.
Although Li Jing didn't know which side Han Xin would break through, no matter which direction Han Xin was going in, he was destined to return to South Korea, so he was ready to ambush Han Xin at the gate of South Korea.
In Li Jing's view, Yecheng is in vain, even if Han Xin finally breaks through, the army under his command will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the 30,000 army in his hands can just take down the remnants of Han Xin's army.
What Li Jing didn't expect was that Zhang Liang also thought of an ambush strategy, and confused Han Xin to break through from the north, so it would be useless for him to continue to set up an ambush at the Korean gate, so he immediately led the army to come and fight with Bai Qi.
After Bai Qi and Li Jing joined forces, the army also rose to 130,000, even if there was no ambush, Han Xin's 100,000 coalition army could be defeated head-on, but in order to minimize casualties, Bai Qi still chose to ambush.
In the face of famous generals like Han Xin, ordinary ambush soldiers are destined to be difficult to make contributions, and Han Xin will see flaws if they are not properly arranged.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liang offered advice to Bai Qi, not to set up an ambush in a dangerous place, but to set up an ambush in a relatively flat place, which could also minimize Han Xin's vigilance.
"This place is the only way to go north to Hebei, and as long as Han Xin wants to return to South Korea, he will definitely pass through here."
Zhang Liang pointed to a plain on the marching map, and said confidently: "Although the terrain here is flat, which is not conducive to ambushes, there are many pits and slopes, which are easy for the army to shield.
Therefore, there are two advantages to setting up an ambush here, one is to catch Han Xin off guard, and the other is to completely deploy the strength of our army. ”
After staring at the map for a long time, Bai Qi slammed down the table and said in a sonorous voice: "The 100,000 Northern Han coalition troops who completely buried Han Xin here are here. ”
Zhang Liang smiled, and then offered another advice: "Liang has another shot, if it is used in conjunction with the ambush, it will definitely be able to easily bury Han Xin's army." ”
Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Strategist, please speak." ”
A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he smiled lightly: "This plan is called: Ambush on all sides." ”
