Luojian, three watches, Qin army camp.

The brightly lit camp looked empty, even the patrol sentries who usually came and went, all of them were gone, and even on the watchtower tower, there were no sergeants on duty in the past, except for some braziers that were still crackling and burning, and the entire camp seemed to be empty.

On a hidden arrow tower, two pairs of blazing eyes stared at the southeast direction, on the quietly flowing Luojian stream, which was only more than thirty steps wide and knee-deep, the moonlight rippled, illuminating the open space on both sides of the stream more than 200 steps, a piece of light, even the jumping of some pikas in the shallow grass could be seen clearly.

Wang Xian, the assassin of Yangzhou, is still the thin little old man in his fifties, wearing a leather armor at this time, frowning slightly, and said to Liang Cheng beside him: "General Liang, why have you been observing this Luojian in the east every day these days, and you almost don't look at Hu Bin who we are besieging." ”

Liang Cheng smiled slightly and shook his head: "Hu Bin is already a dead dog, their army has been out of food for two days, and the sergeants have begun to eat the wood on those fences and the leather strings on the bows, if it weren't for the Jin reinforcements, I could kill the surname Hu with a little finger." ”

Wang Xian still looked suspicious: "General Liang, do you think this Jin reinforcement will really come?" There has been no one for so many days, although it is said that in the afternoon, the king of heaven is in a hurry, saying that the Jin army may come to rescue Hu Bin, but it is unlikely. The army is in Shouchun, thirty miles to the north, and it can arrive in an hour, and the Jin army will not dare to attack even if it eats the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”

Liang Cheng said with a smile: "If even Wang Tingshi thinks so, then ordinary people will slack off, or eat Hu Bin's men and horses, and the task will be completed." In the art of war, this is called unpreparedness, and immediately afterward, it is unpreparedness to attack. ”

Wang Xian suddenly realized and nodded: "General Liang is really proficient in the art of war, even I, a civilian official who is not very familiar with military affairs, can understand it, but if you want to lure the whole army of the Beifu Army over like this, will they really be fooled?" After all, the king is very close. ”

Liang Cheng waved his hand: "They just want to take advantage of our mentality, thinking that the army is nearby, so they will send a small force to fight and rush, not seeking to have any impact on us, just to open a passage and quickly respond to Hu Bin's rush out of the siege, so that it is a great achievement." ”

Wang Xian breathed a long sigh of relief: "No wonder General Liang put out such an array, just to target this strategy of the Jin army, and obey it, so there is only one last question left, why do we ambush here, instead of Caiqiao Beach in the south?" That's the easiest place to rescue Hu Bin. ”

Liang Cheng said with a smile: "This is to fight wits and fight, generally speaking, the camp of the large army is all virtual and real, the Chinese army camp is the largest, and the defense is the strictest, but it is rarely really placed the main force, more to attract the enemy to attack, Xie Xuan is also an excellent soldier, naturally knows this, so, if I were him, I would definitely use the suspicious soldiers to blempty before this quarry beach, and the real killing move is to send troops straight here." ”

Wang Xianqi said: "But after all, this is a big camp, and the defense is tight, even if thousands of people are stationed in it, it is difficult to break through for a while, Xie Xuan should still attack elsewhere." ”

Liang Cheng shook his head: "But in addition to being a big camp, this is also the closest place to Hu Bin, the width of the big camp is only five miles, and it is only three miles away from Hu Bin's camp, plus this five hundred steps wide beachhead, it is also about ten miles away, once the two sides are attacked, the fastest can rush out in half an hour." The enemy only wants to rescue, not to inflict heavy damage on our army, and it is this time to rob it. Therefore, when I set up the camp at the beginning, I deliberately designed the camp in this way to lure the Jin army to attack. ”

Wang Xian smiled: "The general is clever. However, wouldn't the Jin army combine the virtual and the real, and simply attack directly from Caiqiaotan? ”

Liang Cheng waved his hand: "I also arranged 10,000 soldiers and horses there, even if the Jin army really breaks through from there, I will be enough to lead the army to help." This is the point, I used 3,000 men and horses to monitor Hu Bin, and 7,000 men and horses to defend the shallows in the north as a warning, and there were 30,000 elite soldiers left here, including the 7,000 iron cavalry of the whole army are here, even if all the Beifu army comes, I am confident that I will win the battle against the water. ”

Wang Xian nodded: "When the fight starts, the Heavenly King will also lead the army to help, and when the time comes, the two sides will attack together, and they will definitely be able to break the Jin army!" ”

Liang Cheng laughed: "Wang Tingshi, you are too conservative, this time the Jin army wants to rescue Hu Bin, 80,000 horses must be dispatched by the whole army, in the afternoon Tianwang's battle report, the Jin army may just be a test, if you can save it, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you can leave, so, in order to avoid the Jin army from escaping, wipe them all out north of the river, is the top priority of this battle, we, as courtiers, should share the worries of the lord, not trouble the king of everything." ”

Wang Xian was surprised: "General Liang, are you, are you going to fight against all the Beifu Army alone?" Isn't this a little too confident? ”

Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Since I, Liang Cheng, led the troops, I have attacked Yan in the east, invaded Dai Guo in the north, and captured Xiangyang and Shouchun in the south. This time, my 50,000 elite soldiers are here, except for the 10,000 reinforcements of Nading and Zhai Bin, all of them are the elite old troops who have followed me for many years, and they are like commanders. Just wait for the Jin army to come to die, if the Jin army attacks first, I will use a small force to block the water to defend, induce it to invest all the troops behind, and then our army will ride out, first cut off, and then ravage it head-on, even if he has more than 100,000, it is just a bid to sell the head, send me military merit! ”

As he was talking, in the direction of about three miles to the south, there was a dense and rapid sound of golden drums, the sound of killing shook the sky, the fire was everywhere, the whole earth and the river were trembling, Wang Xian jumped up at once, and shouted: "The Jin army is coming, the Jin army is coming, rushing to Caiqiao Beach!" ”

Liang Cheng smiled slightly, slowly got up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, hit the signal flag, send an order to Zhai Bin, and ask him to calm down, only defend without fighting, if the Jin army is forced to cross, shoot it with a bow and crossbow." The battalion opened the camp gate and sent out 3,000 infantry to defend along the river, remember, only defend and not attack, if the Jin army comes with the whole army, it will rely on Luojian to defend, and must not take a step back! ”

Speaking of this, Liang Cheng put on a helmet, a bright red helmet bloomed in the dark night, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Send an order to the Heavenly King, ask him to quickly send out the army to outflank the enemy's east bank, tonight, we will destroy the Beifu army, all the kings will do it!" ”

More than a dozen generals behind him got up one after another, and pressed their fists to their chests and saluted: "Great Qin will win!" ”
