Chapter 1288: Thousands of Miles to Battle Zhenbeiguan (I)

What Gao Chong and Jiang Song didn't know was that the calmness on Bai Qi's face was actually pretended, and he was actually panicked in his heart, but he believed in the judgment of the lord and the military advisors, so he exposed himself so grandly.

"Report ...... After Murong Chui learned the information of our army, not only did he not lead the army to attack, but instead shrank his forces around Yinshan City. ”

"What?"

Jiang Song and Gao Chong both showed surprises, and Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

This news came in such a timely manner that Bai Qi almost broke the work.

"Murong Chui has an army of 200,000, and he doesn't take the initiative to attack but shrinks his troops, is he stupid?"

Gao Zhong said that he couldn't understand this, he really couldn't understand what these famous generals were thinking in his head.

"Maybe Murong Chui just wants to concentrate his forces, and then under Yinshan City, we may be able to eat it in one bite." Jiang Song said with some uncertainty.

Bai Qi glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "Murong Chui is afraid that he will be broken by us one by one." ”

Jiang Song and Gao Chong's eyes widened again, lying down, 200,000 troops against 50,000 troops, would they be afraid that the other party would break them one by one? Will the implementation of famous generals fight wars to such a degree?

Bai Qi didn't explain it carefully to the two generals, they were in different positions, and no matter how they explained, it was difficult for them to understand.

"Murong Chui concluded that our army was going to rescue Yinshan City on this trip, so he concentrated ninety percent of his troops around Yinshan City, and this just exposed Yuanmeng's biggest weakness, thus giving our army a chance to win."

As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Jiang Song and Gao Chong hugged him excitedly when they saw it, which was the smile that the Metropolitan Governor would only show when he was sure of victory.

"The final showdown has begun."

Bai Qi's eyes were full of battle intent, and he smiled lightly: "Next, the generals of our army will start to act in two ways, and the governor of Pontus will personally lead 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, pretending to be a 50,000 rescue army, attracting Murong Chui's attention head-on, and containing Yuan Meng's troops concentrated in Yinshan City." ”

As he spoke, Bai Qi took out a map, pointed to a route and said: "General Jiang Song is the main one, General Gao Chong is the deputy, the two of you order 25,000 cavalry to go north, take advantage of the night to take this route, bypass the spies and sentry posts of Yuanmeng, and go straight to this place as fast as possible, where there are the materials you need most." ”

After Jiang Song and Gao Chong glanced at each other, Jiang Song stood up and said: "Dadu Governor, the task of containing Murong Chui is too dangerous, so let's leave it to the last general, you and General Gao Chong will lead the army north." ”

The 25,000 army pinned down the 200,000 army, and if he was not careful, it would definitely be the end of the entire army, and Bai Qi was the number two person in the Qin army, so Jiang Song was unwilling to take this risk in vain.

Jiang Song's kindness was naturally known, but he still shook his head and refused, and explained: "If Murong Trai can't see the Governor of Pontus, he will definitely find out the reality of the army, so only if the Governor of Pontus leaves Murong Trai will not dare to make any changes." ”

Jiang Song was silent for a while and said, "You can let people pretend to be Chengdu Governors, and you don't have to take risks." ”

Bai Qi shook his head again and said, "A fake is a fake after all, if it is discovered, it will be a loss." ”

"This ......" Jiang Song was speechless.

Late that night, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led 25,000 cavalry and detoured to the east after breaking away from the camp, while Bai Qi led the remaining 25,000 troops, pretending to be 50,000 troops, and swaggered to continue marching towards Yinshan City to confuse Murong Chui.

"Report ...... General Qiqi, Bai Qi slowed down the speed of the march, and only walked more than ten miles a day, and if you want to reach Yinshan City at this speed, I am afraid it will take seven or eight days. ”

Murong Chui had just received the news that on the grassland, Zhuge Liang had defeated Huchuquan with a fire ox formation, and Yuan Meng had 120,000 soldiers, so as soon as he got the news, he subconsciously thought that this was a trap that could not be raised in vain.

"Bai Qi deliberately reduced the speed of the march, on the surface, it seems that he doesn't care about Yinshan City, but in fact, on the contrary, he must have set a trap similar to the 'Fire Bull Array', waiting for us to take the initiative to attack it, and the general will not be fooled by him."

Murong Chui's eyes were full of wisdom, and he immediately ordered: "Send an order to the slave army, give me an increase in the attack on Yinshan City, I don't believe that he can bear it in vain." ”

"No."

Yinshan City, which breathed a sigh of relief, was in a more difficult situation because of the arrival of Bai Qi's reinforcements, and even Yang Liulang personally participated in the defense of the city, fortunately, Li Jing was in control of the overall situation, otherwise Yinshan City would have been broken by Murong Chui a long time ago.

After a day's siege, Yuanmeng's slave army lost more than 4,000 soldiers, and the defenders of Yinshan suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including 300 main forces.

"Report ...... Qi General Murong, yesterday Bai Qi's army still only walked less than twenty miles. ”

Murong Chui's eyes flashed, and he had walked more than yesterday, so he said in a deep voice: "Give me an order to the slave army and continue to attack Yinshan City." ”

"No."

After another day of siege, the slave army of Yuan and Mongolia lost more than four or five thousand soldiers, and the defenders of Yinshan suffered more than 1,500 casualties, including four hundred main forces, and this time even Li Jing personally participated in the battle.

Murong Chui looked at Yinshan City, which had been crumbling but could not be attacked, and only felt that his head was big for a while, and he sighed lightly: "Yang Liulang and Li Jing's will to resist is really too strong. ”

"Report ...... Qi General Murong, yesterday Bai Qi's army walked less than twenty-five miles. ”

Murong Chui immediately smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Bai Qi is panicked, it seems that he is not like the legend that he has no weaknesses, he will continue to storm Yinshan City, and then force Bai Qi." ”

Murong Chui actually really thought too much, he thought that Bai Qi couldn't set a trap and wait for him to fall into the trap, but what he didn't know was that the reason why Bai Qi's army's march had slowed down was only because most of the cavalry in the army had left, and 20,000 of the remaining 25,000 troops were infantry, so the marching speed would naturally slow down.

Of course, even if the 25,000 cavalry left, the Han army's marching speed could not be so slow, and the reason why this was the case was also a deliberate strategy by Bai Qi to confuse Murong Chui and delay Jiang Song and Gao Chong.

Murong Chui thought that Yinshan City was in danger and would force Bai Qi to speed up the march, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Qi's army not only did not continue to march, but also stopped and camped on the spot.

Yinshan City was in danger, but Bai Qi didn't leave, which made Murong Chui puzzled.

At the same time, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led the 25,000 elite horsemen, and after making a big circle, they finally arrived thirty miles south of Zhenbei Pass.

There is a small armory secretly arranged by the Jin army.
