Linwang. Next to the big tent of the Qin army, on the wooden tower lookout.

In the fierce wind, the large and small battle flags were puffed up one after another, hula and fluttered. The majestic soldier stood tall and motionless like a sculpture. Countless swords and spears went straight to the sky, reflecting the sunlight and making it difficult to look at them directly. Fused with the aura of the battle array, Han Yong's face became more and more like a knife and an axe, and his sharp eyes were sunk in the deep eye sockets, like an eagle falcon.

The wind whistling in my ears was as if I hadn't heard it. Han Yong propped his hands on the railing, half of his body leaned forward slightly, and the Mingguang armor that was properly draped was dazzling. He was condescending, his eyes swept over the orderly pieces of military tents in his army, the soldiers in front of the battalion, and looked into the distance, in the distance, under a small mountain, the enemy's military camp was densely covered, and countless battle flags and wolves seemed to go straight to the sky.

He watched silently for a while, thoughtful, and his face became more and more cold like water. Behind him, the generals of the Qin army surrounded him, originally quiet, but when he retracted his gaze, they all began to be a little lively.

"General! It has been half a month since our army and the enemy confronted each other like this. If it continues to be consumed, the grain and morale will slowly decrease. And the enemy has 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and our army is small, which is not conducive to long-term stagnation, so it is better to rush over in one go, I am willing to be the first to break through! ”

Yang Jian's head was dressed in fine and soft chain mail, which made him more and more heroic and sensitive. Originally, what was assigned to him was the Mingguang Armor, which was not only gorgeous compared to the two-gear armor and other armor at that time, but also lighter in weight, but the defense power was greatly improved. The Xiangwu Ordnance Division has created a batch of excellent ones, and Gao Yue ordered that the senior generals in the army should give priority to the distribution of equipment.

But Yang Jiantou was unwilling, as long as the chain mail was relatively light and unrestricted. Chain mail is very useful for defending against the penetration of arrows, but it is more difficult to resist slashing and stabbing at close range with knives and guns. Yang Jiantou is proud of his bravery, thinking that as long as he can prevent stray arrows, as for melee combat, it is difficult for anyone to hurt him, which can be described as full of confidence.

Previously, Han Yong led an army of 20,000 gallops, and Yang Jiantou was the vanguard of the army. When he arrived at Linwang, he also took the lead in leading his elite subordinates, repeatedly attacking the enemy formation several times, and making early exploratory attacks for the main force.

At present, Yang Jian saw that his army had never been able to hold out, and although he had firmly blocked the enemy, he had been facing each other day and night, and there was no distinction between victory and defeat, which made him feel futile. And he is brave and warlike by nature, fearless, he just wants to ride his horse and dance his sword, rush out and kill for a while, and use supreme force to defeat the enemy hard.

Hearing him ask for his life like this, Han Yong didn't answer him immediately, he just glanced at him, and seemed to be still thinking. Next to him, Lei Qizhi suddenly said: "If you want to talk about attrition, the enemy is tired from afar, and the supply side is even more difficult." It should be delayed until the veterans of his division are tired, and then a surprise thunderbolt blow can be a complete victory. It would be unwise to strike head-on now. ”

Lei Qizhi's opinion is diametrically opposed. Therefore, Yang Jiantou heard every word, as if he was against himself, and immediately collapsed his face, and said horizontally: "After a long time, things change, and when time drags on, any accident can happen." Didn't you see that the enemy army was strong, so you were cowardly and afraid of fighting. ”

Lei Qizhi snorted coldly, but he didn't look at him, just looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "Some people regard marching and fighting and slashing people as the same thing. Forget it! And a reckless man, what is there to say. ”

Fan Sheng and Lei Qizhi have worked together for a long time and are more familiar, and they can't help but be biased at the moment: "Sun Tzu has a saying, for the general, he will not take the enemy lightly. Lao Qi has become calm now, and I agree with it. ”

Yang Jian was depressed and was about to step forward to argue, but Han Yong turned around at this moment, and Peng Jun grabbed Yang Jian's head and shook his head at him.

Han Yong's eyes were cold, staring left and right, so everyone was silent for the time being. Han Yong said bluntly: "These days, it's not that I'm passive and don't fight, but to seize the opportunity. Now that I have a plan, you can see. ”

The generals hurriedly gathered around, and they all looked around. Han Yong stretched out his arm and pointed, "...... The enemy camped against the hills, and this was correct. But if you look closely, Pu Hong's department is at the forefront, and most of them are infantry. Chen Anjun's position was more wrong than Pu Hong's, and it was close to the foot of the mountain, and there were more cavalry. However, the Hun army was at the rear of the enemy formation, and most of them were cavalry. ”

He paused, and then said: "Previously, according to the news brought back by the scouts, the three armies of Pu Hong, Chen An, and Jin Chong had the phenomenon of passing the buck to each other and preserving their own strength, and no one was willing to fight our army head-on first. After some arguments, Pu Hong, who was relatively weak, was forced to become the front army, and I expected that he would have a grudge in his heart—which gave me the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and avoid the real attack. ”

"But if the general wants to concentrate his superior forces and defeat the weaker Puhong army head-on, he can frustrate the enemy's overall morale and shake his morale, and then he can expand the results of the battle and win the battle in one fell swoop?"

Li Hu couldn't help but inquire. This time he also went out with the army, although he was still the rank of lieutenant of the middle base, but Han Yong also knew that his identity was unusual, and he was considered a cadre, so he did not treat him as an ordinary captain, but asked him to accompany the Chinese army and participate in the military. Hearing Li Hu's words at the moment, the rest of the generals couldn't help nodding frequently, this plan is very feasible, it should be the strategy drawn up by the main general.

Unexpectedly, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Han Yong's mouth, shook his head, and said categorically: "No." ”

The generals were stunned, but they heard Han Yong have ordered loudly: "Fan Sheng and Lei Qizhi led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and outside the camp, they put up many banners, erected spears and spears, and used the main force to confuse, contain, and attract the attention of the enemy. Peng Jun led 3,000 soldiers and horses, lined up behind Lei Qizhi's department, and waited for the crossbow with strong attack, and when he saw the banner of my lord waving, he just fired ten thousand arrows. I led my army, and after going around the mountains, I attacked Jin Chong's headquarters with all my might. ”

Han Yong said in a deep voice: "No matter whether there is any doubt now, all departments will arrange it as soon as possible according to my military order." After half an hour, all must be in place, and there must be no mistakes. He glanced around solemnly and accentuated his tone, "If there is a slack person, he should be punished with the crime of delaying the military plane, and the military law will deal with it, do you hear?" Let's go! ”

A few days later, Gao Yue personally led the army to seek death, galloped to Linwang, and Han Yong and below, all came to worship. Before Gao Yue could sit down, he urgently asked about the current battle situation, and when he learned that he had won a great victory, he was surprised and overjoyed.

It turned out that the weakness of the three coalition forces was the disagreement. Pu Hong and Chen An came almost with all their strength, and the two families had nearly 30,000 troops, but the two families had never been strong in combat, especially the Pu Hong army as the vanguard, which was even worse, so they all counted on the Hun army to support the overall situation; However, Jin Chong thought that he had come to help in the war this time, and his strength was only 5,000, so he naturally didn't want to take the sword for others, so he took the lead in fighting with the Qin army.

This subtle psychology and battle situation were captured by Han Yong. After careful consideration, he believed that although Pu Hong's army was relatively the weakest, it had a large number of soldiers, and it was the largest among the three enemy forces. If Pu Hong is taken as the main direction of attack, even if he can gain the upper hand in the early stage, Pu Hong can rely on a large number of troops to support him, and when Chen An and Jin Chong in the rear quickly come to support, then the two sides will immediately become a frontal battle, and the situation is not favorable to me.

And Jin Chong's department, although the combat power is very strong, but the number is small, but only four or five thousand people. As long as he was taken by surprise and attacked from behind the mountain, Jin Chong was defenseless, he would be caught off guard, and he would be forced to fight in a hurry, how could he not lose. Because our army is attacking from east to west, then the enemy's three formations are not as good as unified scheduling, chaotic and fighting, and when the Huns are defeated, Pu Hong and Chen An's troops are cold, and the enemy is on their backs, most of them will break and flee, even if there is a desperate counterattack, under the strong shooting of Peng Jun's department, it will not help, so as to be completely defeated.

In this battle, because of the effective strategy of avoiding the real and breaking the void, the Qin army won a great victory. As expected, when the defeat first appeared, in order to preserve his strength, he hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield and rushed away; And Chen An tried his best to fight back, but the overall situation had been decided, and he had no choice but to flee in embarrassment. In addition, the Xiongnu army was almost completely annihilated, and the main general Jin Chong, the general of Zhenbei, was only spared.

Liu Yao received the report of defeat and was furious. demoted Jin Chong to General Chong and whipped him severely. Then he sent Liu Gan, the general of the clan and the right, as the main general, and ordered Jin Chong as a deputy general to go out with the army to atone for his crimes. The two led 10,000 elite horsemen and quickly rushed to Linwang, stabilized the situation, and attacked again. Because Liu Gan brought it, it was the cavalry of the Huns who had been fighting for a long time in the Huns' own army, wearing strong armor and advancing with a strong front, which was extremely fierce. Lei Qizhi and Yang Jiantou led the cavalry of the Qin army to charge together, but they were also difficult to defeat, and after several battles, they could not defeat Liu Gan for the time being, so although they had won a big victory before, the Qin army was still forced to stop here.

Listening to General Han Yong's detailed account of the causes and consequences, Gao Yue nodded again and again, deeply affirming his achievements in successfully defeating the three coalition forces and beheading Jin Chong, and introduced Xie Ai slightly, and also said that General Han's plan to defeat the enemy coincided with what this person said before. Han Yong was a little surprised to see that Xie Ai was so young but proficient in general strategy, and saw that Gao Yue seemed to attach great importance to it, so he praised it in person. Xie Ai was very excited and came forward to greet him.

Gao Yue thought about it for a while, and ordered people to go to Tianshui quickly, so that Hu Song rushed to Xinping, intending to open up a flank battlefield, and then crusade when Pu Hong was panicked and had no help. At the same time, Yao Xiang, who came with the army, was summoned to front of him and explained: "...... Jingguo, you should return to Nan'an as soon as possible, and let your father send 5,000 troops to you, as Hu Song's second lieutenant, and go to recover Xinping together, and return triumphantly. Pu Hong is your family's great enemy, and the truth of going all out, I believe I don't need to say more. ”

Yao Xiang was excited and took the order to leave. Gao Yue paused, turned his head and said, "If Hu Song goes, I expect that Pu Hong will be mostly defeated." Even if Xinping can't be determined by the whole territory, it will basically be captured by me, and there should be no worries over there. So the problem here is that it is the enemy's powerful cavalry brought by Liu Gan that has caused our army to be in a dilemma, but is this so? ”
