Chapter 320: General Mobilization Before the War

Gongsun Yan made up his mind to raid Linyun City, and he also intended to keep the news secret, so as not to let his opponent Su Qin know. However, what Gongsun Yan didn't expect was that he was getting into the lure strategy designed by Su Qin and others.

Su Qin didn't wait for anyone to tell him the details, but just heard the secret report that Gongsun Yan had stepped up the army's combat training, so he completely concluded that he was going to take action.

Su Qin was vigilant, and he sent cavalry to reconnoiter and monitor, monitoring Gongsun Yan's movements day and night.

Early in the morning, the cavalry in front quickly sent back the battle report: the Qin camp gathered troops early in the morning, and it seemed that a large-scale military operation was going to be carried out.

When Su Qin heard this, he immediately ordered the guards of the Chinese army to beat drums and gather the generals, and sent messengers to inform the troops from all walks of life, so that all the soldiers immediately put on their helmets and armor and wait for the upcoming military order.

The sound of the snare drum beat densely and powerfully, resounding throughout Linyun City, whether it is the soldiers of the three armies or ordinary residents, they all understand: there is going to be a big battle that is about to start.

Everyone in the city suddenly became nervous. The generals acted urgently, and soon gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army. Su Qin also made an exception and did not sit upright, but stood solemnly in the big tent, his face was majestic and his expression was solemn.

Su Qin waved his hand and greeted the generals, his gesture was firm and powerful, his gaze looked directly at the generals, and he did not hesitate to retreat. The generals were already waiting for the battle, and found that Su Qin's expression was grim, as if he was inviolable, and they even cheered up and listened carefully to Su Qin's orders.

Su Qin said loudly: "Summoning the generals today, I don't think I need to say more, everyone also knows the arduous task we are facing. ”

"I just got a tip-off that Gongsun Yan led the 60,000 troops of the Qin State and has come straight to Linyun City. What should we do, should we let him Qin Jun bully us? ”

Ning Jun listened to Su Qin's rhetorical question, was very unconvinced, and replied: "Just a Gongsun Yan, I have never taken him seriously. He was also bold and bold, and even threw off the army besieging Anyi, regardless of the jealousy of the soldiers, and rushed straight to Linyun. We will make him suffer. ”

With Ning Jun's words, Yan Sui, Zhou Shao and other generals also rubbed their fists, and the crowd was angry, eager to enter the battlefield and fight it out.

When Su Qin heard the generals' answers, his expression perked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "The generals have such arrogance, which really makes me Su Qin feel happy, and I am more confident to defeat Gongsun Yan." Although our army has only more than 50,000 men, if it is skillfully arranged, it will definitely be able to defeat the enemy with a small number of victories. ”

"I have full faith, do you?" After speaking, Su Qin raised his voice to make his words more powerful.

The generals led by Ning Jun all shouted excitedly: "Prime Minister rest assured, we are also confident!" ”

Su Qin said: "We have to fight this battle well, and in the case of not having an advantage in numbers, it all depends on the skillful arrangement of the formation and the coordination of the generals. If we can twist it into a rope, we will cut Gongsun Yan's troops into several sections, divide and eat, and make the Qin army go and have no return. ”

Su Qin's impassioned words had already aroused the determination and morale of the generals. They also heard that Su Qin already had a mature formation, and they were even more determined to win.

After Su Qin provoked the generals, he began to resolutely assign tasks to the generals, clarifying their respective defensive positions, the order of attack, and the direction of the main attack. In particular, he emphasized the meaning of the drums and flags he trained.

He asked again after the last question: "If any of the generals is still unclear, please bring it up now, so as not to delay the fighter plane on the battlefield." ”

All the generals silently recited their mission in their hearts, and nodded to Su Qin one after another, indicating that they were completely clear.

Su Qin then bowed his hand to the generals and said: "Then please return to your position, and then you must listen to the drums of the Chinese army, watch the command flag of the Chinese army, and then resolutely and decisively meet the incoming enemy." ”

The generals shouted in unison: "No, I will accept the order of the prime minister." ”

After the generals left, there were two people left in the tent, one was Chen Xu and the other was Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi was very quiet, and Chen Xu couldn't stay still.

He looked at Su Qin and said, "Prime Minister Su Cheng's impassioned words just now, even I, Chen Xu, are full of enthusiasm, and I really want to pick up a knife and gun and go to the front line to kill the enemy and serve the country." ”

Su Qin smiled indifferently and said in his heart: "You Chen need to have this courage, but I'm afraid that you have more than enough heart and not enough strength." ”

Su Qin didn't speak, so Chen Xu asked, "What is the task assigned to me by Prime Minister Su, why didn't you tell me?" ”

Su Qin smiled lightly again and said, "Although Prime Minister Chen and Doctor Zhao boarded the carriage with me, we stood on top of the high post and watched how the soldiers of the three armies killed the enemy and made the Qin army return defeated. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was overjoyed, he was very curious in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Su Qin's gourd. He couldn't help but ask again: "I don't know which formation Prime Minister Su used today, can you reveal a message first, so that Doctor Zhao and I can see it." ”

Su Qin said: "Let me tell you one thing, the array set up today is still taken from the hexagram in the gossip, as for which one it is, with the wisdom of the two of you, you will know at a glance at that time." ”

Su Qin said, he took Chen Xu and Zhao Xi's hands with both hands, everyone got out of the big tent, boarded the chariot together, and behind them, followed by five military chariots, each with two big drums, four military drummers stood separately, and then twenty riders holding special military command flags more than one zhang long, sitting firmly on the carved saddle, set out together.

After the men and horses of the coalition army gathered, Su Qin ordered to set off, and the war drums followed a long and short drum beat, and the banner soldiers pointed forward in their hands, and the coalition army marched out of Linyun City.

After the men and horses left the city, they divided their actions and galloped over according to the pre-arranged position.

Su Qin's Chinese army was no exception, and he followed the Zhao army led by Zhou Shao and deployed on the rearmost line of defense closest to Linyun City.

Su Qin took the guards of the Chinese army, the drummers of the drummers and the banner soldiers, and arrived at the highest point outside the pre-selected Linyun City, the carriage stopped, and Su Qin got down from the carriage, he stood at the forefront of the high post, his eyes staring motionlessly at the winding official road leading from Anyi to Linyun.

Following this official road, Su Qin carefully arranged the formation, only waiting for Gongsun Yan's army to enter the pre-set formation.

After the men and horses of the coalition army were stationed in their respective positions, more than an hour passed, and it was not until it was close to noon that the figure of the Qin army was seen from the official road.

At this time, the men and horses of the coalition army were already waiting impatiently, and Ning Jun and the others forcibly suppressed the anxiety in their hearts, and kept reminding their soldiers to keep quiet and wait patiently.
