Chapter 531: Victory Outside the Battlefield

Ten miles away from Pengcheng, Bai Yan rode a horse and listened to the report from his cronies, and when he learned that Kou Zhuang had succeeded in the direction of the south, the last condition in the whole plan had been achieved.

"General, the army of Chu has been found five miles away! In the direction of Peiyi and Dangshan, there are Chu troops deployed! ”

A cavalry soldier hurriedly rode to Bai Yan and reported to Bai Yan.

Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard this.

On the contrary, Xiao He on the side, after hearing the words of his cronies, looked at Bai Yan with a surprised expression, and then looked at the soldier curiously.

"Do you know, how many soldiers and horses there are?"

Xiao He cautiously asked.

When the soldier saw Xiao He speak, after glancing at Bai Yan, he found that Bai Yan had no opinion, so he did not hide it.

"There are 20,000 Chu soldiers in the Chinese army, about 5,000 Chu troops in the direction of Peiyi, and 5,000 Chu troops in the direction of Dangshan!"

The soldier said to Xiao He.

When Xiao He heard this, his eyes widened in an instant, and he turned his head to look at Bai Yan with a face full of disbelief, and that expression was as shocking as he wanted.

The reason is whether Huang Ye, the defender of Pengcheng, will send troops, when to send troops, how many troops, how to deploy troops, almost everywhere, Bai Yan predicted that it was not bad at all, and there was no deviation of half a point!

If it weren't for Xiao He following Bai Yan, if he didn't know that Huang Ye was a famous general in Chu State, Xiao He would have doubted whether Huang Ye's reinforcement was ordered by Bai Yan.

Xiao He's appearance fell in the eyes of the horse riding on the side, and he was proud, although there was not much smile on his burly cheeks, but the look was obviously saying, I saw that the general was amazing!

He didn't know how to lead the troops and the like, but he knew that following the general, what the general said was what it was, and he didn't need to doubt it, and he wouldn't doubt it.

"How did the general know about Huang Ye's soldiers?"

After Xiao He saw the rider leave, he couldn't hold back any longer, and asked while following Bai Yan.

The dove on the side couldn't help but turn his head curiously, looking at Bai Yan, and the dove was also very curious in his heart.

When Bai Yan saw Xiao He's appearance, he explained it to Xiao He.

"Huang Ye is known for leading the troops for his steadiness, he has drunk words, and he regrets it in his life, but he can't fight with Li Mu, so I only take three thousand horsemen, Huang Ye's heart, let him shrink into the city gate, and let the three thousand horsemen besiege the city, this move is tantamount to humiliating Huang Ye, even if Huang Ye hesitates, once it exceeds half an hour, it ......"

Bai Yan then looked at Xiao He: "In Pengcheng, there will be small works to spread rumors!" Huang Ye's temperament, if he is not strong, how can he specially lead the army of Chu to come to defend Pengcheng. ”

"Then why did Huang Ye transfer all his troops out of Pengcheng?"

Xiao He naturally knew what Bai Yan meant, Xiao He didn't expect that there were so many mysteries behind one thing after another, and Bai Yan was afraid that attacking Pengcheng would not be a sudden move.

But Xiao He still didn't understand why Huang Ye would not only have the army of Chu State, but also divide his troops.

"Although Huang Ye has a strong heart, the deployment of troops is extremely steady, and he will definitely beware of accidents, and I am now leading the iron cavalry, rushing from the beam, and its schedule is not expected by Huang Ye, so Huang Ye learned that I personally led the troops, and I am afraid of fraud, worried that after leaving the city, once Pengcheng is surrounded, the back road of the Chu army will be broken, so I will send troops out of the city as a precaution, no matter whether the side cavalry from the beam to go around Peiyi or Dangshan, will be blocked by the Chu army."

When Bai Yan said this, he looked in the direction of Pengcheng, just like when he led the troops, no matter where he was, whether it was Shanwu or Woyang, he would not say that there were any soldiers and horses left in the city, and any general would be the same as him, in such a situation, there would not be many soldiers and horses left in the city.

What's more, in addition to the scouts, there is also Changping Jun who is secretly helping Chu State, so that Chu State can get news of him.

"As long as Bai Yan is here, in Huang Ye's eyes, even if there is huge damage in the other two ways, it will be worth it!"

Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh, face, sometimes it really ruins a person, from the very beginning of this war, Huang Ye lost on face, if Huang Ye can withstand the criticism of others, can bear the words of outsiders mentioning the past, and laugh at his old friends and colleagues, Huang Ye will not lose this battle.

But there are a few people in this world who can do this.

Many people are often extremely angry when they are ridiculed, and extremely rational people may be able to forbear and restrain a point, but once they are ridiculed because of themselves, their best friends and other close people, at this time, many extremely rational people are easy to lose their minds and become irrational.

When Bai Yan was a child, he was very touched by this.

Therefore, Bai Yan never worried that Huang Ye would not go out of the city, Huang Ye was a disciple of the Huang family of the Chu State, and when he was born, he was destined to be a higher class than ordinary people, and the cultivators could not be compared, and they belonged to the high-ranking people.

People with such a background pay attention to fame and reputation, no matter how modest they are on the surface, they are extremely proud in their bones, and Huang Ye has led the troops so far, although the war of Chu is not as good as that of Qin, but every time Huang Ye leads the troops, he wins every battle.

"I see!"

After listening to Bai Yan's explanation, Xiao He nodded in a trance, looking at Bai Yan, Xiao He finally understood why the world scolded Bai Yan and had to admit that Bai Yan was a famous general.

If it weren't for Xiao He's own eyes, Xiao He wouldn't have believed that after one thing after another, Bai Yan planned in such detail, and Huang Ye's reaction from beginning to end was expected by Bai Yan, or that Bai Yan deliberately went south, so that Huang Ye had no chance to react, causing Huang Ye to have to go out of the city, and he had to be prepared.

In such a situation, how could Huang Ye have a chance of winning!

Think of these.

Xiao He couldn't help but sigh, he still wanted to help Bai Yan attack Pengcheng and make suggestions, but at this time, he knew how big the gap between him and Bai Yan was in terms of leading troops.

In fact, it is not only Xiao He who sighs, compared to Xiao He, as an iron cavalry general, the dove is much deeper than Xiao He.

After all, Xiao He is a person who has never led troops on the battlefield, let alone experienced the first battle of Jing Cheng, and compared to the first battle of Jing Cheng, the feeling of the dove at the moment, I am afraid that this Peng Cheng's plan is more complicated than when Jing Cheng, and the preparation time is longer, and even has to have an extremely rapid response, and the execution must be decisive, for example, Huang Ye from beginning to end, he did not expect them to arrive in Xiao County so quickly.

And there is another point that is more important, and the most crucial thing is that the success or failure of this plan, or in other words, the reason why this plan can be made is not because of the general, but because of Huang Ye as the enemy.

At this time, the dove remembered what Bai Yan had said, winning outside the battlefield.

Half an hour later.

When Jiu and Xiao He were still thinking about what Bai Yan said, as well as the key to the whole layout.

At this time, they had already seen the army of Chu in the distance, even if they were far away, at a glance, both of them clearly saw that the Chu general Huang Ye had already arranged the military formation, and they were waiting for a while to meet the iron cavalry, as if they wanted to understand the charge of the iron cavalry.

"Go and tell Huang Ye, the Chu general on the other side, I will pass through Pengcheng and go to Surabaya, can I borrow Pengcheng to pass!"

Bai Yan rode a war horse and said to the cronies beside him.

"No!"

When a cronie heard Bai Yan's words, he rode his horse without hesitation and galloped towards the army of Chu in the distance.

Beside and behind Bai Yan, three thousand iron cavalry soldiers held Changge and Qinzi black flags, quietly and patiently looking at the Chu army in the distance, even if the Chu army had 20,000 people, not a single iron cavalry soldier panicked, let alone the slightest fear and retreat.

This is the biggest difference between elite and ordinary cavalry, and it is also the most elite and the most loyal family foundation left behind by Bai Yan after experiencing bloody battles.

"General, looking at the deployment of the Chu army, this Huang Ye has a lot of experience in guarding against cavalry!"

The dove rode a war horse, glanced at the military formation of the Chu State in the distance, and couldn't help but speak.

From the time he saw the army of Chu, the dove has been looking for a breakthrough in the army of Chu, whether it can be divided or guerrilled, but after looking at it for a long time, after thinking of all the previous methods in his mind, he has to admit that the formed military formation arranged by Huang Ye, the commander of the Chu army, is indeed the most serious defense for the iron cavalry.

This was the first time the dove had seen such a military formation.

This made the dove a little curious about the Chu general Huang Ye who had never met.

"Huang Ye dared to say that he was not allowed to fight with Li Mu, he naturally has his ability, I am afraid that he has been grinding for many years on how to deal with the cavalry in the military array."

Bai Yan heard the dove's words, looked at the Chu army in the distance, and spoke.

After waiting quietly for a while, under Bai Yan's gaze, the cronies quickly rode back.

"General, Chu General Huang Yeyan, Jiuding fell into Surabaya, it is a gift from heaven to Chu, how can there be a reason for Qin, if Qin wants to take it, he will not hesitate to try the edge of Qin's sword, the general's ability!"

The cronies reported to Bai Yan.

Hearing the words of his cronies, his eyes looked straight at the army of Chu in the distance.

"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops and cut off the head of Huang Ye!"

He spoke.

Listening to Huang Ye's arrogant and provocative words, a trace of obsession with Huang Ye's head slowly emerged in his heart.

"No hurry!"

Bai Yan didn't let him attack the army of Chu, so he rode on his horse and looked directly at the army of Chu in the distance, and in the army of Chu, he vaguely saw a commander's chariot, which was fluttering with the flag of Chu, and kept looking at this side.

In front of Bai Yan's childhood experiences, Huang Ye's seemingly provocative words were not painful at all in front of Bai Yan, and it was even difficult to make waves.

The doves and Xiao He on the side were not so impulsive, and after knowing Bai Yan's plan, they all followed Bai Yan and patiently looked at the Chu army in the distance.

………………

In the army of the state of Chu.

On the main general's chariot, Huang Ye was wearing armor, wearing a sword, holding the plank of the chariot with both hands, looking at the Qin State iron cavalry in the distance, his brows were furrowed.

"General, why did the Qin army's iron cavalry remain motionless and did not look like attacking at all, could it be that Bai Yan saw the general's battle and wanted to retreat in spite of the difficulties?"

Seeing this, a general of the State of Chu riding on the side turned his head to look at Huang Ye on the chariot.

In fact, it was not only this general of the Chu State who was stunned, but even the other generals of the Chu State, led by Qiu Jiaxian, looked at the iron cavalry of the Qin army in the distance, and they all showed doubts, they had already led the troops here, and they did not start a war, what does this mean?

You must know that when they heard that when the Qin State went to the county, Bai Yan commanded more than 10,000 iron horsemen, and dared to block the 150,000 people of the Northern Yue Clan and the Xiongnu alone.

The iron cavalry under Bai Yan was even more famous in the first battle.

Although there were 20,000 of them now, with the elite of those iron horses, it should never be said that they did not even try to attack.

"No, since Bai Yan is leading the troops here, there is no such thing as giving up, I'm afraid Bai Yan must have some plans!"

Huang Ye stood in the chariot, looking at the iron cavalry in the distance, compared to others, at this moment, Huang Ye saw the actions of Bai Yan and the iron cavalry in the distance, and his heart vaguely began to appear worried.

Bai Yan can become a famous general, and he has fought with Li Mu, he can never be a mediocre person.

At first, Huang Ye thought that Bai Yan wanted to rely on the elite bravery of the Qin State Iron Cavalry to break through the Chu State army under his command with one blow, but in such a scene now, Bai Yan obviously did not have this purpose and plan.

When things are strange, there must be plans.

Huang Ye frowned, and there was a vague sense of worry in his heart, but for a while, he didn't know where to start, thinking back to all his deployments, whether it was leading the troops here, or guarding against the direction of Peiyi and Dangshan in advance, he had done his best, Huang Ye put his mind at ease, no matter what Bai Yan's plans were, as the book of war said, to respond to all changes with the same!

A moment later.

"General, the last general asks for orders and leads the troops to engage the Qin army!"

Qiu Jia waited for a long time, looking at the Qin army and still not having the slightest intention of starting a war, so he turned around and said to Huang Ye.

"No, when Bai Yan's plan is not revealed, it is not advisable to act rashly and wait for it to change."

Huang Ye opened his mouth to refuse, and did not let Qiu Jia lead the troops to attack first.

Now is not the time, Huang Ye is also guessing Bai Yan's purpose, just now he deliberately provoked the Qin general Bai Yan, but he didn't expect the Qin general Bai Yan to be unmoved.

However, before the specific news came, Huang Ye didn't mind waiting, now Qin General Bai Yan is a long-distance attack, and he has always been waiting for work, and the least afraid thing is to delay time.

Under the scorching sun.

Huang Ye patiently stood on the chariot, and with Chu Qi following the wind on the plains, constantly fluttering.

Gradually, an hour passed, and most of the soldiers of the Chu State in the Hou Chu army began to be impetuous.

Another half hour passed.

Not to mention that there was already a faint sound of discussion among the soldiers of the Chu State, that is, many of the generals of the Chu State frowned, looked at the Qin State Iron Cavalry in the distance, and then looked at each other.

"General, attack!"

Qiu Jiaxian naturally noticed the morale of the army now, so he stepped forward and asked for orders again.

Huang Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally thought about it, looking at the Qin State Iron Rider in the distance with doubtful eyes, still a little hesitant, from the beginning to the present, Bai Yan's actions made Huang Ye have a hunch more and more, Bai Yan must have a plan.

But looking at the morale of the soldiers, they have vaguely begun to be a little impetuous.

"Peiyi, Dangshan direction, is there any news?"

Huang Ye looked at the scorching sun, turned his head to Qiu Jia and asked, his heart full of worry.

"General, no news!"

Qiu Jia shook his head first.

Huang Ye heard Qiu Jiaxian's words and looked at the Qin army in the distance.

"What does Bai Yan want?"

Huang Ye was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to reach out and pull out the sword of his waist sword.

Since Bai Yan has not moved, then he will try what Bai Yan is capable of.

"The whole army obeys the order, relies on the cavalry, simplifies the whole army, and attacks !!"

Huang Yejian pointed in the direction of the Qin army's iron cavalry, and roared left and right.

Looking at the middle place of the Qin army in the distance, Huang Ye's eyes were full of heat, Bai Yan and Li Mu had fought each other, although it was only a simple once, but it made Bai Yan famous all over the world.

If he can defeat Bai Yan here today, wouldn't it prove that he is not weaker than Bai Yan, or even stronger.

And Bai Yan, who was able to fight with Li Mu without falling behind, is now fighting, but he is defeated in his hands......

Huang Ye couldn't help but feel short of breath when he thought about it.

Knock knock knock~

With Huang Ye's order, the army of Chu beat the drums in unison, and in the continuous drumming, all the generals of Chu saw the soldiers holding the Ling Flag, waving the Ling Flag while riding horses.

Looked at.

The generals of the Chu State turned around one after another, drew their swords and commanded the Chu army to change formations.

In an instant, the original phalanx began to change step by step, and the soldiers of the Chu State began to move around, and soon a new offensive army formation would be formed.

The chariot on which Huang Ye was standing also began to slowly move towards the Qin army with the army.

At this time, suddenly a cavalry in the distance hurried towards the chariot.

"Report, general, it's not good, news is coming from the direction of Piyi, and the Qin army scouts have been found!"

The horseman hurriedly came to Huang Ye and reported to Huang Yeyu.

Hearing this, Huang Ye suddenly looked at the cavalry in confusion, Piyi?

How could there be Qin army scouts in the direction of Piyi? It was all the territory of the Chu State over there, how could the Qin army have scouts, and where did the Qin army bypass it from.

"Not good! It's Pengcheng! Send someone back to Pengcheng quickly!! ”

Although Huang Ye didn't understand why there was a Qin army, he suddenly realized that Bai Yan's purpose on the other side was likely to be Peng Cheng, his face changed, and he hurriedly ordered.

However, Huang Ye didn't notice it at this moment, and as his exclamation sounded, all the Chu soldiers around him showed some worried expressions after hearing it.

The rumor that Huang Ye, and even all the generals and generals of Chu State did not take to heart, that 'the Qin army will definitely come to fight for Jiuding', is now accompanied by the east of Pengcheng, after the traces of the Qin army came from the direction of Piyi, and spread to the middle of Hubei where the Chu soldiers were killed, almost every Chu pawn who heard it began to emerge with a restless atmosphere.

"No!"

Qiu Jiaxian naturally realized that Peng Cheng did not have many guards now, so he had to go back to defend immediately, so he hurriedly surrendered his orders.

However, Qiu Jia was just about to leave, and before the drums had changed, he saw another hurried Chu pawn riding a horse.

"Report !! General, Pengcheng was attacked, and the north city gate was all Qin flags! There was a thick fog all over the city, and the gates were closed!! ”

A Chu pawn hurriedly came to Huang Ye and reported to Huang Yeyu.

"Impossible!"

Huang Ye, who got the news, looked at Chu Pawn with an incredulous expression, how could there be a Qin pawn in the city?

Fraud?

No, the Qin general Bai Yan was attacking the Great Liang of Wei before, and he had never received news that the Qin army was heading south, which was not a fraud......

But there is really a Qin army, I don't know what method to use, and it has already gone around and attacked Pengcheng.

"Grain and grass are heavy!"

Huang Ye, who reacted, turned pale in an instant, and suddenly turned his head to look at the Qin Iron Cavalry in the distance, and at this time Huang Ye understood why Qin General Bai Yan was not in a hurry to attack at all.

Huang Ye thought that Pengcheng's grain and grass had been burned by the Qin army, and he instantly despaired.

"General, it's not good, those Qin army iron cavalry seem to be preparing to block our army's retreat!!"

A general of the Chu State suddenly found that the iron cavalry of the Qin State, which had not moved, suddenly began to move, and hurriedly said.

How could Huang Ye not see it, looking at the actions of the Qin army's iron cavalry in the distance at this moment, Huang Ye realized at this time that he might not be able to go back in Pengcheng, and Bai Yan wanted to drag them.

I stayed up late and changed three watches, I was too sleepy, so I went to sleep first! Continue to make up for it in the evening.
