Chapter 250: Digging a Pit

After receiving the news of the security of the other side, Xiang Yan fell into deep thought again.

How could Bai Zhong not even send out scouts, something was abnormal, there must be a problem, but where the problem came from, I couldn't see through it for a while.

"Shangzhuguo, what should I do?"

Jinglan asked worriedly.

Xiang Yan said: "Explore again! ”

The scouts who crossed the river, as well as the other soldiers, after receiving the order, continued to investigate the other side in depth, and the time soon passed for more than a day, and they surveyed all the areas within a radius of more than 50 miles, but the result was still nothing, and it was completely unclear what the Qin army was doing.

Xiang Yan has analyzed a variety of possibilities, and finally overturned the analysis, always feeling that things are not so simple, and at present, there is a situation in front of him, whether to cross the river or not, and then approach or even attack the Qin army camp.

This is also a good opportunity to cross the river, if lost, under the defense of the Qin army, Yingshui will become the defense line of the Qin army.

"Cross the river!"

Xiang Yan thought about it for a long time, and finally passed down the order.

The Chu army quickly pulled out the camp and crossed the river, and when Xiang Yan and the others stood on the river bank, it was still calm, nothing happened, no traps, ambushes, etc., did not appear.

"Strange!"

Jing Lan's face was full of doubts.

Xiang Yan frowned and said: "It's really strange, but let's stay here first, and at the same time keep 30,000 people on the east bank, if there is anything wrong, there can be a way out, and continue to send people to investigate." ”

All kinds of Chu army scouts and soldiers who were in charge of investigation were sent out one after another.

In the end, there was not much difference, and the Qin army did not take any other action.

Xiang Yan still didn't dare to be careless, kept making various arrangements, and even sent a message to Xiang Rong, telling him not to let Zhang Han's 100,000 people come back to help.

——

Inside the Qin camp.

When Bai Zhong got the news that the Chu army had crossed the river, he didn't worry or panic, and couldn't help but smile: "It's already half of the success." ”

"What do you want to do next?"

Yingshu asked curiously.

Bai Zhong said: "Lure the enemy deep and outflank in a roundabout way, even if you can't kill Xiang Yan, you can completely destroy the Chu army here." ”

Ying Shu nodded as if she didn't understand.

"According to this time, Zhang Han and they should have taken action."

Bai Zhong said again.

Ying Shu asked, "Can they really take down the city father?" ”

Bai Zhong shook his head and said: "I can't take it, from the beginning, I didn't plan to take down the city father now, I just did it for Xiang Yan to see, so that he felt that our purpose was to cut off the grain and grass of the Chu army." ”

Ying Shu smiled: "The beloved's plan makes Xiang Yan unguardable. ”

After that, she saw that there was no one else around, so she blushed, hugged Bai Zhong, and said softly, "No matter what you do, I will support you." ”

Bai Zhong smiled: "I will not disappoint you, nor will I disappoint the king. ”

He still can't do what he is not sure of, and he is confident that he will succeed.

——

Zhang Han left with 100,000 people and had already come to the outside of the city father.

According to Bai Zhong's instructions, he didn't rush to attack the city near the city father, he opened the note given by Bai Zhong first, and saw that it was written that there was no need to break the city, and there was no need to attack the city father to solve the Chu army in the rear.

So, he asked people to look behind.

Sure enough, they found that Xiang Rong led 100,000 people, who were already following behind them, and were approaching the city father, preparing to sneak attack the rear of the Qin army when they were attacking the city.

"The handsome man is like a god!"

Geng Wu admired it very much, and he was able to guess the movements of the Chu army in advance.

Zhang Han said: "Xiang Rong has 30,000 cavalry, we only have 10,000, plus the Iron Eagle Warriors, that is, 15,000, General Geng thinks that the cavalry against the cavalry, can you fight?" ”

"Yes!"

Geng Wu said confidently.

Zhang Han said decisively: "If you can, let's beat Xiang Rong back first." ”

The Qin army immediately prepared for battle.

The sharp soldiers led by Geng Wu, as well as 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard, left the ranks first.

The guards of the city father did not dare to go out of the city to support when they learned that the Qin army was going to make a move against the Chu army in the rear, for fear that as soon as the city gate was opened, the city would not be able to hold it.

At this time, Xiang Rong got the news from Xiang Yan again, saying that the Qin army had retreated for twenty miles, and he didn't know what tricks he had, so he had to drag Zhang Han's 100,000 people, and his father seemed to have other plans.

Xiang Rong also had a plan, but he didn't approach the Qin army immediately, but just prepared in advance.

"General, the cavalry of the Qin army is here."

The scout came back and said.

Xiang Rong hadn't made a move yet, and Qin Jun had already taken the initiative to provoke him, and said decisively: "Go to war!" ”

Since the Qin army first attacked with cavalry, Xiang Rong also sent cavalry to meet the battle first, and the two sides fought on the plain outside the Chu army camp, which was full of plains, which was most suitable for cavalry and chariots.

"Kill!"

Geng Wu saw the cavalry of the Chu army appear, and shouted angrily that he was about to kill him.

Fifteen thousand cavalry, against thirty thousand cavalry, the latter is not the former's opponent, after all, the former is better equipped, and quickly repels the latter.

"Infantry, up!"

Xiang Rong did not panic and continued to command calmly.

As soon as the infantry of the Chu army went into battle, the infantry of the Qin army, led by Zhang Han, also followed, and the two sides fought fiercely together.

In the end, the Chu army was still behind, and Xiang Rong chose to avoid the edge and had to retreat.

As soon as the Chu army retreated, it retreated for more than ten miles.

Zhang Han did not send troops to chase after him, and then returned to the outside of the city father, opened the second note that Bai Zhong gave him, only to see that it was written on the way back, looking for a suitable place to dig a pit to defend against chariots and war horses.

The chariots of the Chu army are indeed very powerful, and there are enough plains to provide flat land for them to drive chariots to fight and gallop.

Xiang Rongjun also carried a chariot.

I just didn't take it out and use it.

"Dig a pit first!"

Zhang Han sent 10,000 people to dig a pit on the way back, a place suitable for the enemy's ambush, and it is not clear when he will go back.

Bai Zhong gave him three notes, and only now opened the second one.

The last one, it's not time to open it yet.

Although the general's plan was strange, they believed that it was absolutely fine, and they just did what they were told.

Geng Wu probably understood what the general might do next.

Their purpose may be to lure the enemy, and to kill Xiang Yan by surprise, and admired: "The general's plan is wonderful. ”

"The State of Chu will definitely be destroyed in the hands of the generals."

Zhang Han agreed: "Xiang Yan and them are just making a final resistance. ”

Meanwhile.

Xiang Rong had just retreated, and he didn't know what Zhang Han was doing now, let alone digging a pit.

According to the information he received, Bai Zhong had retreated, his father had crossed Yingshui, the strength of the Qin army's camp was insufficient, and his father should soon launch a full-scale attack on the Qin army.

"Ah Weng asked me to attack Zhang Han, in addition to not wanting the city father to lose, I still don't want Zhang Han to go back to save Bai Zhong."

Xiang Rong thought so.

He felt that the current battle could prevent Zhang Han from attacking the city father, but it could not prevent Zhang Han from going back, and some measures should be taken to deal with it.
