Losing the first battle, Zuo Liangyu frowned, he didn't expect that the military formation he had carefully arranged was actually vulnerable in front of the Qin army, and he lost thousands of people in the blink of an eye, it seemed that this formation could not work, so he immediately ordered to change the formation. [Full text reading. 】

This time, he used his shield soldiers in front to cover the musketeers, and when he wanted to get close to the Qin army, he used the muskets to win. But Bai Qi saw through his trick again, and still used the turtle scale array to block the shield soldiers of the official army, and used a salvo of bows and arrows in the back to suppress the musketeers of the official army, and then still sent the trapped men to rush into the official army formation and slash and kill. The musketeers' muskets were afraid of hurting their own people, so they didn't dare to fire them, so Zuo Liangyu lost a lot of men and horses in this formation, and he retreated in disgrace.

Losing two battles in a row, and being broken by the Qin army with the same tactics, Zuo Liangyu was extremely angry, and he only understood at this time that if he fought the formation, he was by no means an opponent of Bai Qi.

Zuo Liangyu shook off his battle robe, waved his spear, and ordered all the men and horses to attack, regardless of the formation, and rushed up to start a melee with the Qin army.

Even if he can't win in vain, he will inflict heavy losses on the Qin army, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 himself, and once the melee starts, the Qin army's battle array advantage will no longer exist.

Tens of thousands of officers and troops began a general offensive.

They brandished swords and spears, and killed them with shields, but Bai Qi still did not give the order to attack, and the three armies were in strict formation, still focusing on defense.

The officers and soldiers rushed up, and the iron shields of the two sides collided together, making a deafening loud sound, this time the officers and soldiers fought for their lives, no longer caring about the formation, and became a single soldier, where the two armies met, it was the sound of weapons colliding, and people's shouts.

Under the impact of the official army like a huge wave, the Qin army did not move. Like a reef in the sea, if someone in the front row is injured or falls, those behind will immediately make up for it, and resist the oncoming enemy to the death.

At this time, the military formation exerted great power.

After all, the military formation was originally created to reduce the number of enemies. An army formation of 100 people, as long as it is properly coordinated, can block the attack of 500 people.

Bai Qi knew this very well, and when he saw that Zuo Liangyu no longer used the military formation, but changed it to a group impact, his heart was already clear, and the official army would definitely lose this battle.

It's just that at this time, the officers and troops rushed forward with all their might, and their sharpness and courage were at the highest point.

He understands very well a sentence in the ancient tactics of war, one drum, then decline, and three exhaustions. As long as you resist the first few attacks of the enemy, the enemy's morale will be lost, the courage will be weakened, and when exhaustion takes over, it is the time when the enemy will collapse.

Therefore, Bai Qi repeatedly ordered that no one should attack, as long as they firmly held their positions. Whoever dares to take a step back and cut it immediately.

The casualties on both sides were increasing, and many people in the Qin army fell, or were shot by stray arrows, or killed or injured by weapons.

In comparison, the casualties of officers and soldiers were much greater.

The Qin army with iron shields in front, archers in the back, constantly firing arrows, those iron shields lined up together, like an iron wall, very strong, Qin soldiers in the wall in the crack stretched out knives and guns, stabbing indiscriminately, very handy.

And Zuo Liangyu was afraid of the cavalry of the Qin army, so he did not dare to throw the cavalry into the charge, and his power was greatly weakened.

After such a stalemate for a while, Zuo Liangyu felt that it was not good, his men and horses had too many casualties before the battle. Moreover, there is no gap that can break through the battle formation, and if this continues, the morale and morale of the army will be low.

So Zuo Liangyu ordered Mingjin.

With the sound of gongs on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers retreated like a tide.

When Wang Bao saw that the enemy had retreated on all fronts, he was very happy, and immediately asked Bai Qi to ask Bai Qi if he wanted to pursue the whole line. Bai Qi leaned up on the horse, took a closer look, and then waved his hand: "The army does not move, let Zuo Liangyu withdraw." When Wang Bao heard this, he was very puzzled: "General, at this time, it is a good opportunity to chase down the officers and soldiers, why don't you move?"

Bai Qi sneered: "You see the cavalry of the official army,"

Wang Bao was stunned: "I didn't pay attention." After saying that, he also stood up on his horse, and looked into the distance, only to see the cavalry of the officers and soldiers all reined in their horses, standing on both sides of the infantry, watching the infantry retreat. Then he said: "These cavalry, they are waiting for the infantry to withdraw, and then they will go,"

Bai Qi said: "Naturally not, these cavalrymen are waiting for us to chase and kill a horse pistol." If we pursue, it is impossible to maintain the formation, as long as the formation is dispersed, the officers and cavalry can gallop at will, and then Zuo Liangyu will come back with the infantry to kill, and defeat will turn into victory. ”

Wang Bao suddenly realized: "We don't have cavalry, we all rely on the military formation, so we can't chase it." ”

Bai Qi said: "Zuo Liangyu lost today's battle, he must return to the camp to rest, let's go back too." Fight again another day. ”

After that, Bai Qi watched the officers and soldiers retreat, and as expected, when the infantry had finished retreating, Zuo Liangyu left with those cavalry.

When the officers and troops were completely withdrawn, Bai Qi gave the order to return to the camp.

All the horses still held their formations and slowly retreated. When they returned to the camp, it was almost dark, and the sergeants were very tired, so Bai Qi ordered the 5,000 people who were guarding the camp today to watch the night, and the soldiers who participated in the battle rested early, and then sent people to invite Li Yan and Yizhimei to come.

Li Yan had just had dinner, and when he heard that the general was invited, he hurried over, and when he entered the big tent, he found that Yizhimei was also there.

At this time, Yizhimei has become a big girl, although she was born without a red lady, Ji Mengdie and other women are beautiful, but she is wearing the clothes of the Jianghu people, and she looks chivalrous.

For many years, she followed the Qin army to fight in the south and the north, and gradually adapted to the life in the military camp. When she was in Xi'an, she and the Red Lady, Xiaoqing and others were in charge of the Women's Army, and over time, they also had a little general demeanor. Sitting there, there was a bit of the majesty of giving orders.

When Li Yan saw that she was there, he couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking to himself that this person was a general, and he didn't know what kind of ghost idea he had come up with.

After he saw Bai Qi, Bai Qi asked him to sit down, and then spread out a map, which was the terrain of the Zhao platform.

Bai Qi pointed to a place on the map and said to the two: "This is in Zuo Liangyu's camp, during the day, I have already sent someone to investigate secretly, and the camp is set up for several miles, and there are thousands of tents. With such a large camp, there must be loopholes in the inspection, I want to send you two on an errand, I don't know if you dare to take it. ”

When the two of them heard this, they both pursed their lips and smiled, and said in their hearts that this was the method of agitation.

Yizhimei arched his hand: "General, I have not made any contributions in the army in the past two years, so if you have any errands, just give orders, and the general will definitely do his best." ”

Li Yan also said: "Is the general going to rob the village?"

Bai shook his head: "Zuo Liangyu is well versed in the art of war, and if he is defeated today, he must pay strict attention to the movements of our army to prevent our army from robbing the village, so if he mobilizes the army to go, he will definitely return in vain, and if he doesn't get it, he will be ambushed by the official army, and the gains outweigh the losses." I invited the two of you to come this time, but naturally I didn't want you to rob the village. ”

Yizhimei said: "What is that for?"

Bai Qi said: "I want to ask Miss Mei to sneak into the official camp to set fire, it is best to find Zuo Liangyu's place to store grain and burn it." ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "General, this plan is not possible. ”

Bai Qi said: "Why not," Li Yan said: "Miss Mei went in alone, even if she set fire, how much movement could it cause, presumably the fire head was immediately discovered." When the time comes, the grain will not be burned, and people will be vulnerable to danger. So I don't think it's feasible. ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "That's why I called you." Zuo Liangyu was defeated for a while, retreated to the camp, and with his management of the army, he must be ready to prevent our army from robbing the camp. Li Gongzi can take a team of people and horses to pretend to rob the camp before going to Zuo Liangyu's camp to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. ”

Yizhimei listened to it and was proud. Li Yan was a little worried: "There is a huge military camp, Miss Mei goes in alone, if she can't find a place to hoard grain and grass, wouldn't she take a risk in vain?"

Bai Qi said: "It doesn't matter, but where the army hoards grain and grass, it must be separated from the camps, and for the convenience of access, most of them are hoarded in the middle of the camp, so it is easy to guard." After Miss Mei enters, if you can't find it, you can catch an official and ask her, I think with Miss Mei's skills, you will definitely be able to find a place to store grain. ”

Yizhimei said: "This is not difficult, but once the fire starts, the officials and soldiers will inevitably come to put out the fire, and then I can't do anything." What if the fire is not big enough to burn?"

Bai Qi said: "The girl can bring some fire oil, and first light the horse grass of the official army, if it is cold today, the horse grass is hay, as long as it is lit, it will definitely be a fire." Wait until there is a riot in the camp and then burn the grain, even if the grain cannot be burned, it is also a credit to burn the grass of the officers and soldiers. ”

Yizhimei nodded, Li Yan was still worried, and said in vain: "Li Gongzi, in order for Miss Mei to succeed in one fell swoop, you must bring more people and horses, let Wang Bao help you, lead an army of 10,000, and you must rush to the death." The harder you fight here, Zuo Liangyu won't notice the grain and grass in his camp. ”

Li Yan said: "Okay, I'll do my best." But general, we don't have much food and grass, and we still need a quick battle, once this plan fails......"

Bai Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry about fighting, this plan is set." ”

Li Yan had to settle the account, and went down with Yizhi Mei to prepare, and Yimei prepared a fast horse, put on a night suit, and carried a fire fold with him, as well as two bottles of fire oil. Li Yan found Wang Leopard, lit up 10,000 cavalry, and asked these people to prepare more feather arrows to facilitate the surprise attack, and then marched.

Yizhimei did not follow the brigade, but walked around the path alone, and went straight to Zuo Liangyu's camp.

Li Yan and Wang Bao took 10,000 horses, did not light torches, walked away, and quietly pounced on the official and military camp.
