Zuo Xiang nodded: "It's such a dark night, let's be too far away from the camp, don't fall into someone's ambush." 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

Gao Jie said: "Exactly, the gang who sneaked up on the camp was bait, trying to lure us into the camp." ”

He Renlong said: "Don't advance, or withdraw to the camp and report to Sun Dashuai." ”

The three generals withdrew to the camp with their men and horses.

Bai Qi waited until Wang Bao and the other three generals came to the front before nodding: "You guys didn't do a bad job." I saw that at least thousands of their tents were burned in this scene, and the officers and soldiers would suffer without these tents. ”

Wang Bao was very excited: "General, let's kill back again, rush through the officers and soldiers at the west gate, and go to the city gate, so that we can tell the Qin army in the city." ”

Bai Qi shook his head lightly: "There is no need for this, this fire, King Qin must know that it is our masterpiece." At this time, the battalion has also been stolen, the fire has been set off, and it is time for us to retreat. ”

Wang Bao was surprised: "Retreat? ”

Bai Qi said: "If you don't retreat, are you still waiting for the official army to come and surround us?" Sun Chuanting is not a fool, when these officers and soldiers go back to report, Sun Chuanting will inevitably send people to check, we are only 5,000 people, no matter how we pretend, we can't make a frame of 50,000 people, and if we don't retreat, we will die. ”

He immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw to the north while the sky was unclear.

Wang Bao said: "Retreat north? Don't you go back to Meixian County? ”

Bai Qi said: "Let's go and attack the three sides." ”

Wang Bao was completely confused: "General, we are obviously here to relieve the siege of Xi'an, why do we go to the three sides again?" Bai Qi said: "At this time, Sun Chuanting must have understood that we are taking three sides openly and secretly attacking his camp, so he will definitely strengthen his protection, so there is no chance here." Sun Chuanting understood this, and he must have known that he had been fooled, so the men and horses he sent to the three sides would definitely retreat in the starry night. ”

Wang Leopard was completely convinced.

Five thousand cavalry of the Qin army marched north overnight.

At this time, Sun Chuanting was rewarded by the three generals, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he immediately understood that this was a trick for nothing. Clearly going to attack the three sides, but in fact he came to attack his camp.

Sun Chuanting knew that Bai Qi's men and horses were no more than 10,000 people, and even fewer cavalry, but in the dark night, it was also dangerous for a lone army to go deep, so he did not blame the three generals, but comforted them gently and let them rest.

At this time, Fan Ju was on the side, frowning, and Sun Chuanting glanced at him: "Mr. Fan, do you have anything to say?" ”

Fan Ju said: "Bai Qi used soldiers, out of nowhere, this person with a large number of cavalry, around us, waiting for the opportunity to move, it is really dangerous." The handsome man must be guarded against. ”

Sun Chuanting snorted: "How could Ben Shuai not know." It's just that the white ones must be cavalrymen, coming and going like the wind, and in the dark, and it is impossible to measure his whereabouts, how to prevent it? If the whole army is on alert, after a long time, the soldiers will work hard, the morale of the army will collapse, and the taste of living in fear every day will not be pleasant, so that we will not have to attack in vain, and we will be in chaos ourselves. Therefore, finding Bai Qi is the best way. ”

Fan Ju thought for a moment before he said, "If you want me to say, Bai Qi is likely to go to the three sides now." ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned: "Go to the three sides?" ”

Fan Ju said: "Exactly, Bai Qi attacked us secretly, and it must be expected that we will be prepared and strictly guarded, so he will not attack us again." Instead, they will attack the three sides. ”

Sun Chuanting stood up and thought calmly: "Mr. is right. As soon as he sneaks into the camp, I will immediately find out that I have been fooled, and I will inevitably transfer back reinforcements from the three sides, and he will just go to attack the three sides, hum, it must be so. ”

He immediately ordered to continue to reinforce the three sides, and sent Zuo Xiang with 5,000 men and horses.

At this time, Fan Ju came up with another idea: "Dashuai, Bai Qi came to sneak attack, he must personally lead the team, Meixian County will inevitably leave a partial general to garrison, take advantage of this opportunity, let's send a team of men and horses to attack Meixian, it is best to capture it together with the three counties, cut off his back road, and make Bai Qi a lone army." ”

Sun Chuanting paced a few steps in the tent and shook his head slightly: "Bai Qi is not a fool, he brought the cavalry out, and he must have left the infantry to defend the city." As far as I can see, there are at least 5,000 infantry left behind, and we will send people to attack them in a short time, and once Bai Qi learns about it, he will inevitably return to help, and then the men and horses we send will be attacked from the front and back, and the situation is not good. ”

Fan Ju said: "But this is an excellent fighter." ”

Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "Fighting a war is the same as being a man, you can't be insatiable, you must know that you can't chew too much, we want to defeat Bai Qi, and we want to besiege Xi'an, and we want to take the three counties together, the appetite is too big, and the troops are insufficient." It is better to concentrate forces to deal with Bai Qi first, which is more secure. ”

Fan Ju nodded lightly in agreement.

Sun Chuanting sent someone to check the losses, and this investigation didn't matter, which surprised him too. As a result of Bai Qi's attack, more than 2,800 tents were burned, thousands of horses were scattered, more than 500 soldiers were killed and wounded, and more than 300 carts of grain were burned.

The war horses did not lose much food, but the tents suffered heavy losses, so that nearly 30,000 people, there was no place to live, although there were some reserve tents in the camp, but only a few hundred, and the remaining 20,000 people had to camp in the open air, and in such weather, sleeping outside, they must freeze to death, so Sun Chuanting ordered that people and horses from all over the country should bring more camp tents, and at the same time send people out to cut more wood, so that these soldiers who did not have tents slept around the fire.

After the arrangement, Sun Chuanting secretly scolded Bai Qi for being really slippery, Bai Qi knew that Xi'an City had a lot of savings enough to protect himself, so he didn't go to relieve the siege and specially burned his logistics materials, this trick was very vicious, Sun Chuanting suddenly thought that the grain road in his rear must also be protected by heavy troops, otherwise Bai Qi would rob the grain again, and his tens of thousands of horses would not be able to surround it anymore.

So Sun Chuanting sent a general with 10,000 horses to protect the grain road, so as not to come to rob the grain in vain.

Besides, in the city of Xi'an, there was such a commotion outside the city at night, and the Qin army at the head of the city had already seen it and hurriedly reported to Wang Qian. Wang Jian had been at the east gate and found that there was a fire in the enemy camp at the other three gates, and immediately understood that this was Bai Qi coming to relieve the siege.

When he came to the West Gate, Li Kang, Shehuai and Ji Mengdie all arrived, Li Kang looked at the fire outside the city, very excited, and was about to lead people out of the city to pick up Bai Qi, but was stopped by Wang Qian.

Li Dang was stunned: "General, why is this?" Obviously, General Bai Qi came to relieve the siege of Xi'an, why did you stop me and not let me kill him for a while. ”

Wang Jian said: "Sun Chuanting is scheming, whether this fire lures us out of the city is unknown, so we can't act rashly." Li Dang stomped his feet: "General, look, this fire is burning so badly, the enemy camp has been in chaos, and countless tents have been set on fire. ”

Shi Huai also said: "I don't think it's fake, the cavalry in the firelight rushed back and forth, I think it's a real killing." ”

Wang Jian still insisted on his decision: "Even if General Bai Qi arrives, let's pick him up, do we want to take him into the city?" ”

Li Dare said: "Needless to say, General Bai Qi has entered the city, and we have a lot of people, so the defense will be more comfortable." No matter how many officers and troops there are, they can't get in. ”

Ji Mengdie shook her head lightly: "I don't think General Bai Qi will come into the city." ”

Li Dang was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

Ji Mengdie said: "It's very simple, if General Bai Qi enters the city, there will be no more mobile forces outside our city, everyone will be surrounded in the city together, and they will not be able to rush out, and they will die sooner or later." And if General Bai Qi is outside, he can attack the officers and troops at will and disturb the officers and soldiers, which is no better than defending in the city. ”

Li Dang suddenly realized. But he still can't get enough: "This one is a good killing, I really want to go down and join in the fun." ”

Wang Jian said: "Since General Bai Qi is here, he must have a comprehensive plan, he didn't send a letter in advance to let us answer, he just didn't want us to answer." In my opinion, there must not be many men and horses he brought, and if there are too many, he must write in advance and make an appointment to jointly attack the officers and soldiers. ”

Shi Huai said: "Then let's just do it and watch?" ”

Wang Jian said: "Of course not, let's ...... Go back to sleep! ”

Early the next morning, Wang Jian came to see the King of Qin alone, and the King of Qin immediately asked: "Yesterday evening, did General Bai Qi sneak attack the official army?" ”

Wang Jian nodded: "The last general also guessed like this." ”

King Qin said: "Okay, as long as General Bai Qi is outside, as a foreign aid, the officers and soldiers will have to worry all the time, sleep and eat restlessly, it won't be long before Bai Qi will stir them up, and when the officers and soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, it will be the time when our Qin army counterattacks." ”

Wang Jian said: "What the king said is very true. The last general had an idea and wanted to ask the king to decide. King Qin smiled: "You and I, the monarch and the minister, if there is anything polite, just say it." Wang Jian thanked him: "My lord, I think at this time, most of the attention of the officers and soldiers is with General Bai Qi, and taking this opportunity, the last general wants to ask for an order to take the cavalry out of the city at night, and charge and kill fiercely, so as to give the soldiers and people in the city a strong reputation." ”

King Qin thought for a moment and shook his head lightly: "Sun Chuanting is scheming, while he is guarding against Bai Qi, he will not fail to strengthen the defense of the city, you go out of the city at this time to sneak attack, it may not have any effect." ”

Wang Jian said: "The king thought very thoroughly, and the last general also thought of it, but the last general meant to attack the officials and troops as much as possible and make them restless day and night. In the second half of the night, I quietly led my troops out of the city, carrying more rockets, and when I approached the enemy camp, if the camp was heavily guarded, I would not go in, but only put rockets at a distance and burn the tents of the officers and soldiers. ”

King Qin nodded again and again: "This plan is very good, you go, remember, you must not fall in love with the battle, once there is an enemy out of the camp, hurry back to the city." ”

Wang Jian got the order, returned to the east gate, selected a thousand elite cavalry, prepared fast horses, rockets, and waited until dark.

On this night, at the second watch, Wang Jian ordered the drawbridge to be lowered, and a thousand cavalry quietly went out of the city, each soldier carrying twenty rockets, and secretly approached the official camp.
