As soon as Fan Haosheng's iron army began to move, Qin Qiong's side got the news.

"Hmph, this Fan is competitive, but it is a good plan, to use the ordinary army to consume our crossbow arrows, and only now will we use the iron army. ”

"The treatment of this henchman army is just different!"

A lieutenant behind Qin Qiong snorted coldly, and there was some disdain for Fan Hao's competitiveness in his words.

Although this kind of army command can ensure the combat effectiveness of the henchmen's army, it cannot guarantee the loyalty of the ordinary army.

After a long time, it is strange that ordinary soldiers have no other thoughts in their hearts.

"Alas, although Fan Haosheng's behavior is shameful, I have to say that the effect is indeed good, and now our crossbow arrows are consumed less than one-tenth, and we can no longer pose much of a threat to the enemy army. ”

"In this case, once the Iron Army attacks, we must go head-to-head with the enemy and engage in close combat, which is really not good news for us who are at a disadvantage. The other lieutenant sighed softly.

Qin Qiong didn't speak, just stood on the Chinese army's chariot with a solemn face.

As a general of the Southern Yan Kingdom, Qin Qiong had a good understanding of Fan Hao's iron army.

This army has 300,000 people, and it is an army composed of elites from all sides selected by Dong Zhuo, and the soldiers are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

Even if Qin Qiong was confident in the elite soldiers under his command, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to block the attack of the Iron Army.

Now, for Qin Qiong, it is the biggest crisis since he led the troops.

"Hit!"

After a while, Qin Qiong said in a deep voice: "No matter who the enemy is, we must block it, only in this way can we ......"

"Report, General Qin, the secret envoy of the Jinyi guard asks to see you. ”

Before Qin Qiong's words were finished, a scout hurriedly ran over.

"The Secret Envoy of the Brocade Guard?"

Qin Qiong was a little surprised, the Jinyi Guard's secret envoy would only enter the battlefield when something very important happened.

Could it be that General Feimeng has instructions?

Qin Qiong immediately said, "Let him come over." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a secret envoy in a black flying fish suit and a black embroidered spring knife brocade cloth came to Qin Qiong.

"The secret envoy of the Jinyi guard visited General Qin Qiong. ”

"This time, I am under the order of Lord Liu Ji, and I have come to give the general an order. ”

Without waiting for Qin Qiong to ask more, the Jinyi Wei secret envoy took out a jade cylinder and handed it to Qin Qiong.

This jade cylinder is something that the Jinyi Guard uses to carry important news, and only the generals of the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom and the secret envoys of the Jinyi Guard with more than a thousand households know how to open it.

Qin Qiong took it and opened it to use perception to probe the information recorded inside.

After a while, his face became a little weird, and he muttered, "Lord Liu Ji actually wants to act like this?"

"General, what's wrong?"

The adjutant general beside Qin Qiong immediately asked.

"See for yourselves. ”

After handing the jade cylinder to the deputy general behind him, Qin Qiong stared at the offensive formation that the enemy army was gathering at the foot of the hillside, and thought with his eyes.

When several lieutenant generals saw the news, they were all stunned, and then they exclaimed: "Lord Liu actually asked us to let go of the defense line and let the enemy commander leave?"

"How does this work?"

"Our army has held out here for several hours, repelling waves of enemy attacks, how can we let the enemy commander leave now? This is absolutely not possible!"

"That's right, General, if that's the case, then our sacrifice won't make any sense!"

"General, we must not agree to such a decision!"

A group of lieutenants looked at Qin Qiong and said urgently.

But Qin Qiong didn't answer immediately, but said after a while: "Guys, do you think we can block the enemy's attack without enough crossbow arrows?"

"This ......"

The lieutenants are all hesitant, and they can become lieutenants, they all have some ability, so they naturally know what the situation is now.

"Can't!"

Qin Qiong didn't wait for these lieutenants to answer, but shook his head and said, "Instead of the last line of defense being broken through, it is better to follow Lord Liu Ji's strategy, open the defense line, and wait until Fan Haosheng leaves with a few generals before launching a fierce attack." ”

"When the time comes, cooperate with Lord Liu Ji's 200,000 reinforcements to attack in the rear, which will definitely cause chaos to the enemy. ”

"At that time, we will win!"

"General, but in this way, won't Fan Haosheng just run away?" A lieutenant general said with an anxious face: "If Fan Haosheng is allowed to run, he will go to the city in the rear, and then gather the troops in those places, at least there will be three or four hundred thousand, it will still be a big trouble!"

"So, there's one more thing we have to do......"

With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Qin Qiong said coldly: "Fan Haosheng will definitely let his army cover the retreat of grain and grass, and when their grain and grass retreat, order all the bowmen and crossbowmen to replace them with rockets and burn all their grain and grass." ”

"When the time comes, even if he has three or four hundred thousand troops, what will he do?

When the deputy general heard this, he suddenly realized that Qingfeng City was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside Yue Fei's army, and the grain and grass inside could not be transported, even if Fan Haosheng could retreat with hundreds of thousands of troops, it would still be useless when there was no grain and grass at that time.

After understanding, these lieutenants did not say much more, and immediately went down to arrange for the army to abandon the defensive line.

Qin Qiong looked at the Jinyi Guard's secret envoy and said, "Go back and tell Lord Liu Ji, I, Qin Qiong, will definitely act according to his strategy." ”

"Yes!"

The brocade-clothed guard envoy left quickly.

At the moment when Qin Qiong's army formation began to move on the hillside, Fan Haosheng got the news.

"What is Qin Qiong doing?"

Fan Haosheng stared at Qin Qiong's army on the hillside that was rapidly closing up, his face was puzzled, because he could see that once the army formation was closed, then Qin Qiong's army on this hillside would be equivalent to giving up.

In this way, he could completely lead the army across the hillside, and there was no need to fight with Qin Qiong's army at all.

"General, could it be that the crossbow arrows in Qin Qiong's army were consumed too much, and he knew that they couldn't stop the attack of the Iron Army, so he chose to close the army now and didn't plan to fight us again?" said a lieutenant general.

"But this is not right! This is not like Qin Qiong's style, he is a hardliner in the Nanyan Kingdom, and he firmly supports all of Lu Feng's actions, not those generals from the family. How could he choose to gather the army at this time and let us go?"

The other lieutenant was full of doubts.

But they couldn't figure it out, so they finally turned their attention to Fan Haosheng, and the meaning was obvious, you are the main general, you decide.

Fan Haosheng looked at the army on the hillside, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Since Qin Qiong got out of the way, how can we not go?" Order the army to immediately prepare to cross the hillside. ”

"But general, what if Qin Qiong has a conspiracy?"

"Conspiracy?"

Fan Haosheng's face was full of disdain, and he said: "I want to see what conspiracy he can have in the face of the iron army!"
