Defective Yang, one of the three counties of Hexi, is south of Jinshan and north of Yanghe on three sides, so it is called Defective Yang.

The Wei army followed the Jinshui from the Meng clan to the city, which was only more than 200 miles away from Anyi, and as the only way for the Qin army to retreat to Puhan, Xinlingjun chose this place as the main battlefield.

There are words in the use of soldiers, I dare not be a guest for the Lord, I dare not advance an inch and retreat, it is said: there is no line, there is no arm, and there is no soldier to throw invincible.

First be invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious.

Xinlingjun climbed high and looked into the distance, looking at the plain area in front of him, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

Fu Nian was beside Xinling Jun and said, "The prince is worried about the attack of the Qin army? ”

"The courage of the Qin army is far better than ours, this battle will be a bitter battle, if this battle can not stop the enemy, then the offensive and defensive momentum is different, when the Qin army can enter the enemy, retreat can withdraw from Puban, so that it will be difficult for our army to break through the Qin army, and it will be difficult to achieve the goal of this alliance." Xinling Jun Road.

"I'm afraid that once our army is defeated, the coalition army's heart will be scattered......"

This battle is the key to his plan, and he must ensure that everything is in order, otherwise it will fall short.

He believed that Meng Fu would never let go of such a crucial fighter.

He had always regarded Fu Nian as an existence of the same level as him, and he asked, "Nian, do you know why I chose to fight the Qin army here?" ”

Fu Nian looked at the mountains and rivers under his feet and replied, "The land of the four stops is easy to defend; The suburbs extend in all directions, which is conducive to war; It is better to defend than to fight, and war is better than to change by chance.

The flawed yang is the throat of the three places, which is enough to command the three places of Anyi, Xie and Pusaka, and control and strangle Qin. ”

"Xinlingjun is to force out the Qin army and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army."

"Exactly." Xinling Jun bowed his head and said, he was very satisfied with Fu Nian's answer.

"Say, how should this battle be fought?" Xinling Jun Road.

"The strategy of the king is not comparable to ordinary people, so I will talk about the strategy of the king." Fu Nian said.

"What Jun Zhi thinks is the battle method of the center flowering, using the strength of our army to lure the enemy to attack, drag the Qin army, and wait for our follow-up reinforcements to arrive, if you can hold on to that time, the Qin army will be defeated."

The concept of this battle is to stick to a certain strategic area, induce the enemy troops to move towards oneself, cooperate with friendly and neighboring forces to carry out counter-encirclement of the enemy, and when the time is ripe, cooperate with friendly and neighboring forces to strike at the enemy and completely annihilate the enemy army.

"As you said, the key to this battle is whether our army can withstand the fierce offensive of the Qin army until reinforcements arrive." Xinling Jun Road.

"However, there is no danger to defend the plain, how do you say to resist the offensive of the Qin army?" Xin Lingjun said again.

"Those who are skilled in soldiers, learn their hands and feet, use equipment, accumulate organs, and establish the winner of offense and defense, so they should follow this principle and seek the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak." Fu Nian said.

Xin Lingjun glanced at Fu Nian appreciatively, although Fu Nian was young, but he was a person with real talent and learning, he said: "I know that you have learned from the past and the present, and you must have a way to deal with it." ”

Fu Nian knew that he was serious, and immediately told what he wanted in his heart.

………

In the northern suburbs of Fangyang, the Wei soldiers were ramming the earth, and piles of gravel, gravel, laterite, and lime were dug into the pit and stirred, and then piled aside, poured a layer of mud and tamped with plates.

The so-called plate building is to use two wooden planks to sandwich a space when building a wall, the width between the two boards is equal to the thickness of the wall, the outside of the board is supported by a wooden column, and then firmly tied and fixed with a rope, and a pestle is used to build a layer by layer.

This rammed earth used to build walls is also known as tricolor soil, and most of the buildings in the Qin and Han dynasties were built with rammed earth.

In the middle of the two sides of the ramparts, there is a width of 120 zhang, and the Wei army's main formation is arranged here, and there are two reasons why it is 120 zhang wide: first, compared with the number of subordinate soldiers, the defense line is very long, so it is necessary to build enough tents and move the width of the temporary troops without hindrance in the current situation of the whole line. Second, when the Qin army launched an attack on the Wei army's internal and external defense lines, it was conducive to the Wei army's rapid attack.

Under the mound to the west, Zhang Tan looked like an overseer, observing and pointing at the same time, shaking his head and sighing as he pointed, looking very annoyed.

A Wei soldier raised his head from the trench and said, "Lord Zhang, we have dug deep enough, we don't need to continue digging, right?" ”

Zhang Tan glanced at this Wei soldier and said: "You don't understand, we haven't dug it completely at the moment, and we still need to strengthen it again. ”

"Need to dig another foot." Fu Nian said to Zhang Tan.

When Zhang Tan heard Fu Nian's words, he immediately replied to those Wei soldiers.

Fu Nian inspected the construction site, and this was the first time he was in charge of the construction of the fortifications.

This was the first time he was really in charge of the tactical setup, and Shin Lingjun took his advice.

At present, the trenches in this land are intricately intertwined, criss-crossing and criss-crossed, even if the cavalry of the Qin army comes, it is impossible to easily break through these trenches.

The key to the success or failure of this battle lies in how to set up an encirclement, according to the practice of ordinary people, "encircling points to send reinforcements", the encirclement will never trap itself, but the encirclement of Fu Nian is the opposite, but it wants to trap itself.

According to Fu Nian's assumption, the Wei army set up an encirclement network across the river in Fangyang, which was divided into two large circles, inside and outside. The inner ring defense line is 31 miles long, the outer ring is about 50 miles long, and the middle of the two circles is the battlefield of the Wei army, which is also a safe zone, the narrowest point is 120 meters, this width is necessary for the soldiers to attack and move unhindered, and even if it is attacked by the Qin army, if the Qin army cannot break through the previous line of defense, the Wei army located in the inner defense line can still operate safely because it is located outside the range.

After Fu Nian inspected Xiqiu, he went to the eastern suburbs, and this area was in charge of Han Huan.

A part of the Wei army was collecting trunks or hard thick branches, sharpening the front ends, and then digging four-foot-deep holes along the outside of the trenches and burying the sharpened front ends facing up. In order to prevent these spikes from being easily plucked, the trunks and thick branches were connected to each other before being buried, and the spikes were arranged in five columns around the entire line. If the enemy steps there, he will be stabbed by a sharp stake.

In addition, the Wei army also excavated many four-foot-deep caves on the periphery, which were similar to wolf-hunting caves, and the narrower shape became the closer to the bottom. The cave is buried with sharpened, burnt wooden stakes, reinforced with earth up to a third of the depths, and covered with twigs or firewood.

In order to defend the effect, another layer was added to the outer side of these two layers, and a wooden stake with a hook at the front was buried 30 cm long, and the ground was also covered with hook thorns.

The entire project was divided into two sides, and the seven-story defense project, which was the same as the inner side, was also carried out on the outer side in the same order.

As the only safe passage for the two major battlefields of the Wei army, Fu Nian is now on the west bank of the Yang River as the second battlefield.

Xinling Jun ordered Long Jia and Ji Huan to lead their troops to rely on the river to arrange a formation, and arranged an opening to limit the flank breakthrough of the opponent's superior forces.

Once the enemy enters this opening, reserves are actually deployed. When the opponent tried to flank themselves along the riverbank, the flank reserves immediately used the riverbank to close the breach.

If the mouth of the river bank can be closed, it will not only disrupt the offensive deployment of the opposite side on the right flank, but also actually shake the overall deployment of the two flanks of the other side.

This will become a meat grinder, which seems to be a breakthrough, but in fact it is a death zone that lures the Qin army to attack continuously.

………

"Report! General! Traces of the Qin army were found north of the flawed sun! ”

A scout horse galloped quickly to the tent and reported.

"How many miles from here?" Shin Ling-kun asked.

"About a hundred miles." Tanma replied.

In this way, it will be at most two days before the Qin army is pressurized.

In the past few days, he ordered Ji Yanran, Yang Gongxie and other knights to pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army.

The people of the Black Ice Platform and the knights of the Six Nations have already gone through countless bloody battles in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.

Xin Lingjun walked out of the tent, came to the outside of the camp, and looked at the defense line under the mountain, although the entire envisioned defense line was not fully completed, it was basically completed.

A hundred miles away, the Qin army was surging like a black tide, and it was a huge army that was suffocating.

The general Meng Fu sat in the Chinese army, wearing red armor, majestic and imposing, with a pair of tiger eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

He looked to the south, where the sun was headed.

This place can go north at any time to cut off his grain route, so he can't help but come, he has never been a person who sits idly by.

Besides, this place is a large plain, which is suitable for his large army to attack.

This Xinling Jun dared to choose this place as the battlefield, which shows his courage, but he is not afraid of being defeated, as long as he can take the lead in breaking through the large array of the Wei army, he can take the initiative and reverse the situation.
