ββββ the following textββββ
ββ¦β¦ Le Sima, touch Zi and send you a message below: If it is beneficial to Wei and Han to besiege and kill the good generals of the Qin army such as Bai Qi and Sima Cuo in this place, it is beneficial to Wei and Han and not beneficial to our Qi and Yan countries, and the strategy of Yuncheng Jundi is enough to take over Yin and Jin, why do we Qi and Yan need to eradicate Qin generals like Bai Qi and Sima Cuo for Wei and Han? β
In the Yan army's main formation on the north side of the Qin camp, in front of Le Yi, the commander of the Yan army, the henchmen sent by Tian Touch whispered Tian Touch's original words.
After listening to this person's words, Le Yi said lightly: "I know, you can step down." β
"No!" The man clenched his fists and retreated.
Glancing at the back of Tian Fu's henchman, Le Yi shook his head slightly.
I have to say that in fact, Tian Touch's proposition is indeed correct, as a general of Qi Guo, where Kuang Zhang was cultivated, Tian Touch is not only good at leading troops, but also has a political vision, and knows how to think about a war from a strategic level, rather than simply sticking to a temporary victory or defeat.
The fly in the ointment is that this person ...... How to say it, it's too petty.
For example, at present, when his five-nation alliance forces are working together to seize Yin and Jin and relieve the hidden danger of grain and grass embarrassment, this Tian Touch does not forget to weigh the pros and cons, and secretly creates some future troubles for Wei and Han.
But in fact, Meng Zhong didn't care whether the Qin generals Bai Qi, Sima Cuo and others were dead or alive in this battle - this can be seen by Le Yi from the distribution of Meng Zhong's arrangement of garrisons to surround the Qin camp.
From the distribution of the garrison besieging the Qin camp, Le Yi knew that Meng Zhong did not want Bai Qi to break through to the east or south, so he ordered Wei and Han to attack the east camp and the south camp of the Qin camp respectively, just to ensure that Bai Qi could be blocked from breaking through in these two directions.
Why?
Actually, the reason is very simple.
Bai Qi broke through to the east, and it is very likely that he will adopt the tactics of killing the net, trying to destroy his coalition camp, and burning the only grain and grass that the coalition army has now at any cost.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops in exchange for the coalition army only have land grain and grass, which seems to be a loss, but don't forget, Yin Jin and Huayang Jun Mi Rong's army, in the case of the whole army short of food, even if there are more than 200,000 coalition troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to pose any threat to Mi Rong's army.
This is what Meng Zhong should be wary of.
As for preventing Bai Qi from breaking through to the south, it would be simpler, it was nothing more than not wanting Bai Qi to 'chance' run into him and the coalition forces were secretly seizing Zheng County.
In other words, as long as Bai Qi didn't break through to the east and south, Meng Zhong didn't care where he broke through.
And so far, Le Yi has not received an order from Meng Zhong to send Min, ordering them to fight to the death to block Bai Qi, what does this mean? Doesn't this mean that Meng Zhong intends to drive Bai Qi in the direction of Yin and Jin?
To put it bluntly, Meng Zhong himself hoped that Bai Qi would break through to the north, and even, he never expected that his Qi and Yan armies would intercept and kill Bai Qi, but here Tian Touch still calculated each other's gains and losses, and deliberately secretly let Bai Qi, Sima Cuo and other Qin generals go, and made a judgment.
"Completely seen through......"
Le Yi smiled with a bit of self-deprecation.
At this time, the shouts of his Yan soldiers came from the direction of Qin Ying in the distance.
"Block! Obstruct! β
"Get in!"
"Damn, the Qin army's counterattack is getting more and more ferocious......"
"It's almost impossible to get into...... What?'
Frowning, Le Yi stared at the countless torches in the distance, judging the situation of the battle between the enemy and us.
It is worth mentioning that in today's night attack, Le Yi did not mean to release water, because he hoped to test the army under his command through the Qin army.
The reason is very simple, because more than a month ago, in that night attack on the feint crossing of Menshui, the Yan army under his command was beaten very badly by the Qin army, and the loss of troops was almost three or four times that of the Wei army.
To be honest, the main purpose of the night attack on the night attack of the Feidu Gate Water that day was to cover Meng Hu and Hua Hu and lead the Fangcheng cavalry to sneak through the chassis of the Qin army, and the victory or defeat was not important, but the losses of the Yan army that night still made Le Yi feel a little unbearable on his face.
Yan Jun, is it really so weak?
Yes, even Di Leyi, who served as the Grand Sima of Yan State, must admit this indisputable fact: the army of Yan State is almost the bottom of the Central Plains countries in terms of weaponry and combat capability, and it may not even be able to fight Qi State.
The reason for this is that the Yan State was almost destroyed after the Zizhi Rebellion, and almost all the facilities in the domestic military industry and weapons workshops were destroyed by the Qi army, although Le Yi strengthened the training of the army after serving as the Great Sima of the Yan State, but these trained Yan troops were still much worse than the elites of Wei, Zhao and Han, not to mention the army of the Qin State - the Qin army, which was only slightly inferior to the Wei army.
A strong and resilient army is bound to need to be watered with blood, such as the Hedong Army of Wei, which was almost wiped out in the Battle of Yique, even if Meng Zhong turned the tide, he also paid half of the sacrifices, and in the end, only more than 40,000 of the 100,000 Hedong troops returned to Hedong County alive.
Although it sounds very miserable, it turns out that the veterans in the Wei army who survived the battle of Yique, whether it is momentum, courage, or combat ability, are a few points stronger than before, no, according to Le Yi's attention, at this moment, the four armies around the Qin camp are attacking the four armies, and the Hedong Wei army led by Dou Xing and Wei Qing has the most fierce offensive, and has already captured the gate of the Qin camp in the east camp and entered the camp, and the Qin army has been defeated and retreated.
But what about the other three directions?
On this side alone, his Yan army couldn't even attack the north camp gate of the Qin camp.
This may be the gap caused by the number of battles experienced, although the army of his Yan State is also well-trained, but compared with the Qin army and the Wei army, it still lacks the tempering of the battlefield, which makes Le Yi have the idea of using the Qin army as a whetstone - anyway, the Qin army is in a hurry to break through, and it is bound to dare not fall in love with the battle, which is the best time for his Yan soldiers to gain battlefield experience.
Le Yi was thinking about it, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "Da Sima, the Qin army is gathering troops, and it seems that they are preparing to break through to us!" β
"Hmm." Le Yi nodded unexpectedly, frowning slightly and thinking about the coping strategy.
At this moment, whether it was Meng Zhong's attitude or Tian Yi's instructions, Le Yi was all behind, what he thought in his heart was just to use this Qin army to train and sharpen the soldiers under his command.
"Let's take a look at it for a while, if the loss is too great...... I had to let it go.'"
Le Yi thought secretly and immediately gave an order.
But the strange thing is that he issued an order here, but the Qin army didn't seem to have the intention of breaking through from the north camp immediately, and even, the sound of killing coming from the north camp in the distance was a little smaller than Fang Cai.
At this time, General Yan, who was supervising the battle outside the North Camp, shouted: "Attention of the whole army!" Attention the whole army! The Qin army is ready to break through from the direction of our army, be sure to block them! Repeating, the Qin army is preparing to ...... from the direction of our army Huh? Qin Jun retreated? β
Qin Jun retreated?
Yes! The Qin army retreated!
The Qin soldiers, who had gathered in the north camp a moment ago, ready to break through to the north at any time, suddenly poured into the depths of the camp for some reason, as if they had given up breaking through to the north.
What's going on?
Seeing this scene, General Yan, who was supervising the battle in front, immediately sent someone to report the situation to Le Yi.
After learning of this situation, Le Yi was also shocked.
He also plans to use this Qin army to train the Yan army under his command...... Well, this is not the most important thing, the key is why did the Qin army suddenly give up on breaking through to the north? Don't they want to break through to the shadows?
γβ¦β¦γ
Staring into the distance, Le Yi frowned, feeling that the situation was a little wrong.
Tonight's night attack has been fought so far, it is impossible for the Qin army not to know who the enemy troops in the four directions outside their camp are, and naturally they can judge the resistance in each direction based on this-the Wei army in the east is the strongest, followed by the Han army in the south, the Qi army in the west, and finally the Yan army in the north.
Yes, the weakest Yan army happened to be on the north side, in the direction of the Qin army's breakthrough to the Yin and Jin Dynasty.
In this case, what reason does the Qin army have for not breaking through from the north side?
Unless...... Qin Jun realized!
"Have you seen through it? That white ......"
Under the light of the torches held by the soldiers beside him, a trace of surprise flashed in Le Yi's eyes.
You must know that Meng Zhong's series of strategies tonight are also very ingenious in his opinion, if he is in the middle of it, in the position of Bai Qi, he is not sure that he can see through Meng Zhong's strategy.
But that's white...... Seems to have guessed.
"They are rivals...... Is it? Hmph.'"
Secretly snorting softly, Le Yi decisively ordered: "The cunning Qin army must be trying to break through to the south, pass the order, step up the attack, and encircle the Qin army!" β
"No!"
Just as Le Yi judged, the Qin army, which had originally gathered in the northern camp and was preparing to break through to the north, was all transferred to the southern camp under Bai Qi's order, and launched a fierce offensive against the Korean army outside the southern camp, trying his best to tear apart the formation of the Korean army.
Although the Han soldiers tried their best to block it, they were still inevitably gradually suppressed by the Qin army, and when they learned of this battle situation, they stomped their feet on the chariot again and again.
I remember that before attacking Nanying, Storm Kite swore to Meng Zhong that he would never give the Qin army a chance to break through to the south, but now, it seems that the Qin army is really about to break through his Korean army.
"How so?! Then why didn't Bai Qi break through to the north? Did he notice it? Damn!'
Loud and scolding, the violent kite asked eagerly, "Have the people sent to Yunchengjun's side come back?" β
"Not yet!" The left and right guards shook their heads and said.
Hearing this depressing news, Storm Kite gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Tell Han Zu, tell every Sima in front of you, you must block the Qin army for me!" Block me no matter what! β
"No!"
At the same time, there were also Qin soldiers who came to Bai Qi and Sima Cuo to report: "Captain Qi and old general, the Korean army outside the southern camp is strong, and the two generals Tong Yang and Meng Yi have been repelled by the other party several times!" β
"Go on!"
Bai Qi ordered with a calm face: "So far, Li Dui's Zhao army and Meng Zhong's Fang Cheng army have not yet appeared, I guess Li Dui's Zhao army should be in the north, and Fang Cheng's army has not yet been mobilized by Meng Zhong's side, if it is delayed for a long time, Meng Zhong will inevitably send Fang Cheng Army to support the Han army, and when our army wants to break through to the south, it will be even more difficult!" β¦β¦ In any case, we must rush before the Fangcheng army supports the Korean army and break through the blocking of the Korean army! β
"No!" The herald departed.
At this time, Sima Coo's beard was stroked and looked in the direction outside the southern camp, and asked Bai Qi in a deep voice: "Captain, just now you said that Meng Zhong's sending troops to besiege our army's military camp is just a pretense, or is it just to cover up his intention to capture Zheng County?" β
"Hmm." Bai Qi nodded and said: "Meng Zhong has always been cunning, he knows that we have made up our minds to defend Yin Jin, so he simply abandoned Yin Jin and seized Zheng County, and then threatened Xianyang, forcing us to give up guarding Yin Jin and rush to Xianyang...... In this way, he didn't need to storm Yin Jin to get the city and solve the urgent need of the coalition army to lack food. β¦β¦ Although I am in the enemy, Meng Zhong's scheming, even as an enemy, I have to admire. β
Sima Wrong glanced at Bai Qi when he heard this, and said wistfully: "If the misfortune is expected, then ...... Oops. β
At this moment, the veteran's face was full of worry and shame.
Worried, naturally worried about Xianyang, after all, Xianyang has no city wall, once the Wei army that was attacked in Xianyang crossed the Weishui, then everything was over, even if the defenders of Weirong Xianyang were finally able to repel the sneak attack of the Wei army, but it could not avoid the buildings and farmland in Xianyang being destroyed by the Wei army.
Fortunately in misfortune, Xianyang Palace and Ganquan Palace may not be able to break through in a short period of time because of the protection of the city wall, but Xianyang itself, as the capital of his Qin State, if it is attacked by a Wei army, killing people everywhere and setting fires, this will be the consequence ...... I can't imagine it.
And it is ashamed that such an insidious strategy as Meng Zhong, he, a veteran of his life, failed to see through it at the first time, and if Bai Qi hadn't detected Meng Zhong's intention in time to prevent the whole army from breaking through to the north, and instead to break through to the south, everything would have been over.
Thinking about it, I also know that once they choose to break through to the north, the coalition army will undoubtedly take advantage of the situation to occupy this city, cut off the passage between Yin Jin and Zheng County, and then divide their troops to the west to threaten Xianyang.
"The afterlife is terrifying......
Sighing secretly, Sima Cuo felt a little bitter in his heart.
He felt more and more that as a veteran of Rong Ma's life, he gradually couldn't keep up with young people like Meng Zhong and Bai Qi.
With a long sigh, he solemnly said to Bai Qi: "Captain, please be sure to stop that Meng Zhong!" β
Hearing Sima Cuo's tone, which seemed to be entrusted with the future, Bai Qi was slightly stunned, and then nodded and said, "I...... Do all in one's power. β
He didn't dare to say everything, not because he was afraid of taking responsibility, but because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up.
Thinking about it, I also know that if that Meng Zhong really planned to seize Zheng County's idea, then at the moment when the Korean army launched an offensive, the local soldiers in charge of this matter would have already gone to Zheng County.
And on his side, he is still being dragged by the Han army, how can this be in time?
Previously, because there was this military camp blocking the coalition army, and the focus of the coalition army had always been on the Jinyin side, they did not pay much attention to Zheng County, so that they only stationed 5,000 soldiers in Zheng County.
Is 5,000 soldiers few?
It's quite a lot, under normal circumstances, it is more than enough to defend a city, even if the coalition forces launch a sneak attack, it is enough to support him or Huayang Jun Qirong to send reinforcements over.
But if it was in the face of Meng Zhong's long-planned sneak attack, only 5,000 Qin soldiers would ...... Bai Qi really didn't dare to guarantee that these five thousand Qin soldiers would be able to hold Zheng County.
"Report!"
An urgent report interrupted Bai Qi's thoughts.
When he looked up, he saw one of the soldiers panting and clenching his fists and reported: "Just now, a soldier on the watchtower saw an army in the distance outside the camp holding torches and hurrying towards the south side......
"Damn! Is it so fast?'
Bai Qi clenched his fists hatefully.
He didn't have to think about it to know that that army must be rushing to the aid of the Korean army and going to the local city army.
And this once again proves Bai Qi's guess: Meng Zhong tried to sneak attack Zheng County, so he didn't want him to break through to the south!
If not, what reason did Meng Zhong have to send Fang Cheng's army to stop him?
Didn't he Meng Zhong want to seize Yin Jin?
In this case, wouldn't it be more in line with Meng Zhong's intentions to break through in the opposite direction of Yin Jin in vain, so that Meng Zhong would be more sure to seize Yin Jin?
It can be seen from this that Meng Zhong is not thinking about attacking Yin Jin at all, so it doesn't matter if he breaks through in the direction of Yin Jin or not, the real target of that bastard is Zheng County!
"It's too late......"
Gritting his teeth, Bai Qi hurriedly ordered: "Pass the order, order the soldiers of the southern camp to push the camp fence to the barracks, and the whole army will immediately break through to the south, break through the blockade of the Korean army, and retreat to Zheng County!" β¦β¦ In addition, the Qi army on the west side is weak in blocking, and you can also break through to the west, and then break through to the south after you get out of the camp! β
"No!"
At the sound of an order, the Qin troops in the camp immediately took action, and some generals led their soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Qi army on the west side, trying to repel the Qi army, and then break through to the south; Most of the Qin soldiers, according to Bai Qi's order, knocked down the camp fence on the south side of the camp and stepped on these fences to kill the camp.
This has made the pressure on the South Korean army even greater.
Originally, the Han army blocked several camp gates on the south side of the Qin camp, as long as these gates were blocked, the Qin soldiers in the camp could not get out, but now, the Qin army knocked down the camp gate, and suddenly countless Qin soldiers were killed, like a wave.
"Unstoppable! Unstoppable! The Qin army has come out! β
"Block! Obstruct! β
For a while, the Han army array was in chaos, after all, it was at night, even if the soldiers on both sides were holding torches, the visibility was not high, once they saw the Qin army pouring out like a tide, many Han soldiers were immediately stunned.
Fortunately, at this time, the Qin army also had no intention of fighting, and under Bai Qi's order and urging, tens of thousands of Qin troops did not entangle with the Korean army and forcibly broke through to the south.
For a while, countless Qin troops broke into the array of the Han army, and the Han soldiers wanted to block it but were afraid of accidentally injuring Tong Ze, and after a hesitation, they were broken by the Qin army.
Fortunately, at this moment, Le Jin, who led the Fangcheng army to rush to support, had already used the time that the Korean army was desperately fighting for to build another defensive line behind the array of the Korean army, so that although the Qin army broke through the array of the Korean army, it was blocked by the Fangcheng army.
At this time, Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Le Yi, Tian Touch and other generals had also received orders from Meng Zhong, and led the Wei army, Yan army, and Qi army under their respective commands, and killed them from behind, and launched a siege and killing on all sides against Bai Qi's army.
At the same time, Meng Hu and Hua Hu had already led the Fangcheng cavalry to the area of Zheng County, peeking at this silent and peaceful city from a distance.
"Smack."
Jin Wei jumped off the horse behind Meng Hu, patted Meng Hu's waist and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, take a good rest, and then look at our ......"
Meng Hu laughed a few times, and saw with great interest a famous Hedong warrior jumping to the ground from the back of the Fangcheng cavalry, rubbing his stomach one by one with an ugly face, and even some people were lying on the ground and vomiting silently.
During this period, several horse-drawn wagons carrying grain can be faintly seen, and some siege ladders are piled on them.
It's not a lot, but it's enough to capture an unsuspecting city!
