Ninety-Seven, The Great Escape of Life and Death (6)

This battle of the ghost ditch must be extraordinary, and even the fifth prince doesn't want to pick it if he is so bold. But the opportunity lies in the weight of this crisis. If I'm done, the temporary commander will be secure, and there may be other surprises!

Thinking of this, the excitement and excitement were abnormal, and his heart was like a cat scratching, and he didn't sleep peacefully all night. Early in the morning of the second day, he set out with an army of 40,000 and went straight to the ghost ditch eighty miles northeast.

Who is the season? He is a bold and careful person who wants to be ahead of everything. When he knew that everything had passed, he knew that the Qin army must have decided to make a detour twenty-six days ago, so he sent a large army to occupy the ghost ditch; Therefore, as soon as he received the military order, he ordered his Yuanli army to expand from division to army! The people selected from various armies, especially those left by Zhang Bao, were all transferred to the Yuanli army. When it is formed, it will order the whole army to rest! The next day, he went to eat at the morning and set off lightly at three o'clock, as the vanguard of the whole army, and hurried to the ghost ditch. He wanted to grab the moment is the moment. He also ordered the commander of the Yuanli army: As long as he sees that the Qin army occupies the ghost ditch, don't care about anything else, ignore the order of the whole army, and attack to the death! It can't be stopped until the last person dies.

Shun Ji is a general who is good at inciting sergeants. Before the departure of the army, he had already told the sergeants about the importance and death of this mission. He also asked the military officials at all levels to instill in me the slogan of revenge for Anyi. The 40,000-strong army of the Ten Seasons is gone. Gongsun Marting's army of 38,000 has not yet left.

On the 29th, Gongsun Ying waited on the shore of the water of the Minggua, and also recalled the army next to Gaojing to the camp, and the three army hedgehogs gathered together, blatantly where they were, waiting for Gongzi's army to arrive at the Minggua.

All day on the 29th, Gongsun Ying did not receive the news that Gongzi Wei had arrived at Minggua, but instead received the news that Ao Bao had sent a detective to find the location of the ambush against the Wei army. Gongsun Ying looked at the map and smiled slightly: "Ao Leopard, there is no need for this. Childe: I know too well. He didn't arrive today, but he will arrive tomorrow morning. Now it is impossible to say that it is marching overnight. ”

Ao Bao was puzzled: "Master! You know Childe, so don't we fight Childe? ”

Gongsun Ying shook his head: "Don't fight." Now it's about speed. Whoever is fast wins. You do the math: the army we sent to garrison the ghost ditch was twenty-seventh. The retreat of our army was also on the twenty-seventh. ”

Ao Bao came back to the words: "The marching speed of our army is sixty miles a day. The ghost ditch is more than 230 miles away from the life melon, and it takes four days. And the Wei army only made up its mind to conclude that we should make a detour, so the fastest is to send troops to seize the ghost ditch this morning. Guigou is at least eighty miles away from Dushan, and according to the speed of the Wei army, it can be reached in one day, counting the mountain road, and it will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest. As far as the seizure of the ghost ditch is concerned: "If you go by, our army and the Wei army will reach it tomorrow." If it doesn't go well, it will be reached in the afternoon. Anyway, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the two armies will definitely fight fiercely for the sake of the ghost ditch. Who wins and who loses, it depends on the destiny of heaven? As he spoke, Ao Bao looked at Gongsun Martingale and thought that Gongsun Martingale could see something on his face, so he could continue to speak.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ying's face did not fluctuate, but Gongsun Ying's face still lightly criticized: "Ao Leopard." Do you have a little confidence? are all commanders who lead two armies, how can they do this? ”

Ao Leopard smiled sheepishly: "Master! I don't know how to do it, I don't have confidence when I get in front of you, I always think that I am wrong or incomplete, and there must be those subtleties missing. ”

Gongsun Ying smiled slightly: "You are dependent, aren't you without confidence?" Okay, go ahead!"

Ao Bao then said: "As for my army, which marched forty miles a day, it has been four days now, and it has traveled at least one hundred and sixty miles. Even if our section head army wants to catch up, it will take two days; Therefore, it is very unlikely that the army will fight with Gongziwei, unless the ghost ditch is occupied by the Wei army, and our army is forced to press on the wide plain east of the ghost ditch. In this case, it will become a melee of my 140,000 troops, 200,000 Gongzi Wei and 40,000 Hexi Generals. But I think that after General Baihu receives a briefing on our detour, he will definitely draw out at least one army, maybe two armies, to attack Guigou from the north and open the way back to Fenyin with us. That's why, master, you just said that there is no need for us to find a place to ambush the Wei army. ”

"Then when Gongzi comes, how will you face it?" Gongsun Ying did not say whether Ao Bao was right or wrong, but continued to ask questions.

Ao Bao thought for a while before saying, "Just face Gongzi directly." His 240,000-strong army needs a marching road, which is not the road that our nearly 40,000-strong army needs. This one is two hundred miles in radius, all of which are mountainous and cannot be placed; Therefore, we can use three divisions to slowly retreat face to face with him. Let him see us, and put us in a way. He's attacking! I'll resist. Anyway, the widest part of the battlefield is 30 miles to the northeast and 100 miles to the northwest, and these two places can carry out a battle of 10,000 people on both sides of an army. The others could only engage less than one division, at most two thousand men. What I want is to use small-scale contact battles to constantly block the speed of the Wei army, to win four days for the army, and to walk one hundred and twenty miles more, plus it has been four days, that is, eight days, and the distance of three hundred and twenty miles is enough for General Ju, and under the response of General Bai, he returned to Fenyin. At the very least, they have also withdrawn to the area of Guigou, and the worst case scenario is not that our Ketou army is in the area of Guigou, and then we will buy three days for the army. If General Ju can't retreat back to Fenyin in eleven days, there are only two situations: First, I want to forget the day. The second is that the Wei army in Guigou is a heavenly army, and under my front and rear attacks, it can hold out for seven days, which is also the destiny of heaven. ”

Gongsun Ying looked at Ao Bao with satisfaction and smiled happily: "Okay, you kid!" I can finally rest assured. Just do what you want. From the moment I saw Gongzi, I started to ignore it and handed over the three armies to you! I rushed to the ghost ditch. The ghost ditch is what worries me the most. You have to be prepared, too! In case the ghost ditch can't be attacked. I won't be able to wait seven days, and I'll send troops to replace you. You will take the Ketou army to rush to the ghost ditch and destroy the heavenly army of the Wei army for me! ”

Ao Leopard straightened up and replied loudly: "Yes!" Left Shu Chang. The head army will always be the head army. In front of the Kotou Army, there is no Heavenly Army, only the army defeated by the Kotou Army. ”

Gongsun Ying smiled and said, "Okay! I have informed the cook that I have prepared a good dish today. You go and call a few of them commanders and adjutant generals, and after we have a comfortable meal together, from tomorrow onwards, we will flee for life and death. ”
