Chapter 2028 Grass on the Wall
After receiving the information from the Black Water Pavilion, Chen Sheng and Li Zuoche analyzed where Meng Heilong's army would choose to cross the river. There are three places where the greatest possibilities are. The nearest one is only more than ten miles away from the Qin army camp. The river is narrow, sedimentary, and less than ten zhang wide. Moreover, the river is not deep, so even if you cross the river on horseback, you don't have to worry about accidents.
Chen Sheng decided that Meng Heilong would cross the river from here. According to Meng Heilong's psychological analysis, Chen Sheng believes that he will not be a person who is willing to seek the near and far. It's just that he wants to spread suspicions, so that Chen Sheng mistakenly thinks that he will not choose this place to cross the river.
In order to cooperate with Meng Heilong's actions, Chen Sheng also deliberately laid troops and horses here, but he showed flaws, so that people could find at a glance that there were signs of ambush on the other side. But in fact, Chen Sheng's killing move is not here. Rather, in a flat field behind the riverbank.
The 5,000 new troops were sent by Chen Sheng to work here, digging a large area here full of holes and laying one killing trap after another. Moreover, most of these traps are designed for cavalry, if they are ambushed, it will be difficult for cavalry to fly.
Meng Heilong's detour was originally to paralyze Chen Sheng, the army first walked hundreds of miles slowly, and after transferring Chen Sheng's army away from the mountain, he suddenly turned back and completely pulled out the large battalion where Chen Sheng was standing, and then turned back to eliminate Chen Sheng's main force.
But Chen Sheng would not be fooled. In fact, Meng Heilong's move was great news for Chen Sheng. It would have taken time to capture the enemy's large battalion to thoroughly digest and consolidate the spoils of war. When he wanted to doze off, Meng Heilong sent a pillow, Chen Sheng was overjoyed, and on the one hand, he tried his best to "cooperate" with Meng Heilong's actions, making a move of arming the army, on the other hand, he seized the time to build the camp into a soil city, and made the defense impermeable, and a nail was firmly rooted in the land of South Vietnam. It directly alleviated the resistance of the Qin army that was attacking the pass.
Meng Heilong didn't know that Chen Sheng had already seen through his plan. After arriving at Jinpudu, he pretended to cut down wood and build a boat, but in fact, the main force quietly pulled out the camp and returned the same way, ready to surprise Chen Sheng.
Seeing Li Zuoche's worried state, Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Meng Heilong won't be so stupid, retreat to Jinpudu, it's almost close to Panyu, after crossing the river, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, and Mercedes can reach us in two days." Why bother? If it weren't for the difficulty of the road, we would have taken Panyu a long time ago, how could we still stay here and fight with him? Rest assured, Meng Heilong will inevitably turn back, and at the greatest possible point to land closest to our camp. Not to mention Meng Heilong, even if it was me, I would choose here. Because the cavalry is attacking from here, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the cavalry will appear in front of us, and the effect of such a surprise attack will definitely be good, right? ”
Li Zuoche nodded and said, "The adult's analysis is very reasonable, but we still have to be careful to prevent accidents." Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, who knows if Meng Heilong will change his mind. ”
Chen Sheng nodded solemnly, knocked on the desk, and said, "This is not bad, let Tian Peng pay attention to the information on the Heishui Pavilion side, and report the news about the enemy's military situation at any time." ”
Li Zuoche asked again: "There is also the army led by Xiong Qi and Haifeng, how can we deal with it?" ”
Xiong Qi still has thousands of remnants, and he is still in the camp ten miles away. Moreover, these thousands of people are the combat effectiveness of Xiong Qi's own tribe, and their strength is strong, if they fight hard, the Qin army will suffer heavy losses, so Chen Sheng stationed 10,000 troops outside the walled city, and built a fenced earthen wall to prevent the enemy from having the possibility of escaping. Now the two sides are at a stalemate. Li Zuoche initially thought that he had cut off the enemy's road for water and food supplies, and Xiong Qi would soon surrender. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of food hoarded in Xiong Qi's military camp, and it didn't hurt to support it for several months. Moreover, because the camp is close to the river, the water source of the well dug is sufficient, and the water source is guaranteed, which is also one of Xiong Qi's confidence.
"Xiong Qi has his own mind." Chen Sheng pondered for a while before he said, "It is understood that he is the patriarch of the Yue clan. When he led the army to rescue Luo Weihu that night, he brought no soldiers from his clan, which shows that his loyalty to Meng Heilong is questionable. Such a Yue nationality is worthy of our wooing. To treat the Lingnan Yue people, we can't blindly suppress them like Tu Ju; This is counterproductive and provokes the resistance and hatred of the Vietnamese people. The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson. We have to win over a group and suppress a group, and finally be able to completely subdue them and include the land of the South China Sea in our Great Qin territory. ”
Li Zuoche nodded, but said helplessly: "Although Xiong Qi is like this, he still refuses to surrender under the siege of our army, what should we do?" ”
Chen Sheng grinned and said, "Wrong, Xiong Qi is not unwilling to surrender, he is not afraid to surrender." ”
"Oh?" Li Zuoche was a little confused.
Chen Sheng said: "If you are Xiong Qi, you are not loyal to Meng Heilong, and now you are in a desperate situation, but you dare not surrender to the Qin army, what will you be afraid of?" Li Zuoche is very good at marching and fighting, but Chen Sheng, who still has not systematically read psychology, knows much about human nature.
After thinking for a while, Li Zuoche came to his senses and said, "Is he worried, in case he surrenders, Meng Heilong will be angry with his people?" ”
Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction. After a while, he said, "Not bad." Xiong Qi, as the leader of the clan, naturally had to consider the entire clan. His primary concern was the survival of the tribe. He did not lead the main force to fight us, but also to preserve his strength. In South Vietnam, only the powerful tribes were not annexed and enslaved by other tribes. Xiong Qi is not a fool, and in a rash situation, he will fight with the foundation of his own clan. Someone will not rush to break through. He's waiting for an opportunity before he can react next. ”
"When?" Li Zuoche found that Chen Sheng's words were becoming more and more unfathomable.
"The time when we completely defeat Meng Heilong's main force, or when we are defeated by Meng Heilong." Chen Sheng said with a smile.
"I see." Li Zuoche patted his head and said hatefully: "This Xiong Qi is really an old fox. "Whether Chen Sheng or Meng Heilong fails, it can make Xiong Qi make up his mind which side to fall. Naturally, the losing side does not need to be considered. Xiong Qi's idea is very safe.
