Chapter 759: Set up an ambush and rest the heart cliff
Hearing this information, Qin Ning and Sha Xingping felt incredible. The Eastern Prince himself couldn't jump for two days, and was dragged by the Qin army, and he actually had the leisure to rescue the Northern Prince.
This is really a noble sentiment that cares about oneself and worries about the lives and deaths of others, which is typical of self-harm and self-benefit.
But after thinking about it, Qin Ning understood the key. The Eastern Prince definitely does not have this courage, according to the personality of the Eastern Prince, not to mention that the Eastern Prince, even if the Eastern Prince is in peacetime, he will not make such a great effort for others.
It must be someone behind the East Prince's back, and the East Prince has no choice but to do this. The black-robed man behind the Northern Prince, Qin Ning has already seen it, and Qin Ning believes that behind the Eastern Prince, there will definitely be a terrifying existence like the black-robed man. This guy can command the Eastern Prince to make a decision.
I have to say that the opponent in this dark place hidden behind the East Prince still has a big picture. As long as the Northern Prince is not destroyed, the Qin army will fight on two fronts, which is the only hope for the opponent to turn the tables.
Once one of the Eastern Princes and Northern Princes is destroyed, and the Qin army joins forces, no one will be able to stop the Qin army's great cause of unifying the Blue Star Empire.
From the analysis of the entire battle situation, as soon as the 500,000 army of the Eastern Prince opens here, the Qin army is really a little troublesome.
The Northern Prince has gone completely insane, completely defending a city with two-legged wolves, and the Qin army has paid a huge sacrifice for this, and it seems that the Northern Prince cannot be destroyed in a hurry.
Once the 500,000 army of the Eastern Prince is reinforced to the northern front, the Qin army will not be able to attack for a long time, and will face the flanking attack on the two lines in a tired state. It's hard to say what's going to happen.
A little lighter, the Qin army may retreat, and a little heavier. If you don't do it, you will lose big. The more you get to the end, the more careful you have to be with your march. There are countless examples of overturning boats in the gutter.
Sha Xingping asked Qin Ning, "General Qin, the shape is not good for us, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Qin Ning frowned and thought for a while and said, "The way to use soldiers is to judge the situation. I think the battle on our northern front will end first. 500,000 reinforcements, let's withdraw even if we give some face. ”
Sha Xingping laughed and said, "How can General Qin be so humorous in a major military situation? I think General Qin should have a good idea, right?"
Qin Ning said with a smile: "Since the Eastern Prince has sent an army of 500,000, the enemy on the battlefield on the Eastern Front is bound to be empty, and it is time to give the Eastern Prince a beating." ”
Sha Xingping laughed. Ask what to do on the battlefield of Qinning's northern front.
Qin Ning groaned and made arrangements, the Northern Prince has now reached the point of exhaustion, as long as he keeps an eye on it, he can exert enough pressure on the Northern Prince.
Since the Northern Prince's side can't take it in a hurry, let's confront them. As long as the Qin army stabilizes its position, the 500,000 army will not be able to help the Qin army at all, and when something happens to the Eastern Prince, the situation of the 500,000 army will be very embarrassing.
Qin Ning decided to personally go to the battlefield on the Eastern Front and let Sha Xingping take full command of the Qin army on the Northern Front. Qin Ning's construction of Sha Xingping is to stabilize the defense, harass at the right time, the enemy retreats and I advance, and the enemy advances and I retreat.
Within the framework of this grand principle. Sha Xingping handles the rest of the qiē related matters on his own.
After explaining, Qin Ning immediately set off and flew to the battlefield of the Qin army's eastern front.
Qin Ning was the first to find the general in charge of intelligence, and Qin Ning wanted to know the specific movements of the Eastern Prince's army of 500,000.
The general in charge of intelligence reported to Qin Ning. The 500,000 troops drawn by the Eastern Prince have already hit the road, and they are within the jurisdiction of the Qin army on the Eastern Front. The army of the Eastern Prince did not dare to use aircraft and other equipment to transport troops, so it always adopted the method of ground marching.
At present, the 500,000-strong army has been assembled. The march was fifty miles north, and it was disengaging from contact with the Qin army on the eastern front.
Qin Ning looked at the map and said to himself: "At present, the Donglean City is in the hands of the Qin army, and the main transportation route for the army of the Eastern Prince to go north has been occupied. If you want to get out of contact with the Qin army and go north, you can only take a detour. And this part of the army detoured to the north, and the only way to accommodate such a scale of marching was Qianmo Ridge, which was about 300 miles northeast of the east-leaning city. ”
When the general in charge of intelligence heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, General Qin, the 500,000 troops of the Eastern Prince are marching in the direction of Qianmo Ridge, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Qianmo Ridge in two days." ”
Qin Ning laughed, he fought desperately to win the East Tilt City, and its significance was finally reflected. If the city was still in the hands of the other party, this part of the reinforcements would be able to go north through the city of Dongluo, a distance of nearly 800 miles.
And now, the army of the Eastern Prince has to go north through barren mountains and mountains like Guò Qianmo Ridge to support the Northern Prince.
Qin Ning looked at the map carefully, pointed to a location on the map and asked the general in charge of intelligence, "What is this place?"
The general looked at it and replied: "General Qin, this is Xixin Cliff, which is a place that is inaccessible. Originally, there was a road to the north, but because of the eastward tilting city, it was much closer to the north than there, so it was gradually abandoned. The army of the Eastern Prince was also forced to have no choice but to take that road, because it was too long, so there was no name on the map. ”
Qin Ning smiled at the general: "This shows that your work is very meticulous, if it weren't for the careful work of your intelligence department, it is very likely that this position will be ignored." ”
The Cliff of Rest, it should be a place where something can happen.
Qin Ning summoned the senior generals of the Qin army on the eastern front to discuss countermeasures with the generals on the matter of the Eastern Prince's dispatch of 500,000 troops to the north.
Almost all the generals said that now is the time when the Eastern Prince's forces are relatively empty, and it is a good time to launch a large-scale campaign against the Eastern Prince, both from the psychological level and the level of troop comparison.
Qin Ning patiently listened to the opinions of each general and expressed his thoughts: "The Eastern Prince's side must be fought, but we currently have to warm up and prepare for a large-scale battle. Didn't the Eastern Emperor send 500,000 troops? This living force is a piece of fat, and you say that if this army is severely damaged, what will happen to the Eastern Prince?"
One of the generals laughed and said, "That blow will be very big." didn't make any contributions, but he was slapped with a slap, and it was unacceptable to put it on anyone. Especially for the soldiers on the front line, the morale is already low, and with the damage to the brother troops, the morale will be even lower. ”
Another general understood something, and tried to say: "General Qin means to do something to this 500,000 army? ”
Qin Ning laughed and said, "I don't have the appetite to annihilate this part of the army, but why not ambush it in the right place?"
Spreading out the map, Qin Ning marked the location of Xixin Cliff. Because it was an ambush, the Qin army only needed to dispatch 100,000 people.
Starting from the East Tilting City, the Qin army had to arrive at Xixin Cliff one day earlier than the 500,000 army of the Eastern Prince, set up an ambush there, and a single fight would be enough for the Eastern Prince's army.
Qin Ning asked the generals to discuss the attack plan against the Eastern Prince, and he ordered 100,000 Qin troops, set off from Dongqi City, and rushed to Xixin Cliff.
Xixin Cliff stands next to the mountain, and the cliff face is almost a steep slope up and down vertically, and it is more than three zhang high from the ground to the top of the cliff. On the opposite side of the Resting Cliff is a steep slope, and a deserted road leading to the north stretches north between the Resting Cliff and the steep slope.
Qin Ning arranged heavy artillery on the Xixin Cliff, and on the steep hillside, he arranged hand gunners and rainstorm pear flower bombardiers.
In this way, on the Xixin Cliff and at both ends of the steep hillside, the Qin army's ordnance was able to tightly seal this deserted road.
Qin Ning led the soldiers of the Qin army to hide on the Xixin Cliff and the steep slopes, scattering scouts to listen to the information of the Eastern Prince's reinforcement army.
After a long time, the scout came back to report to Qin Ning that the army of the Eastern Prince was already less than ten miles away. Qin Ning asked the scouts not to go out again, and waited with the large army for the Eastern Prince's army.
Soon, a team of top soldiers appeared in Qin Ning's field of vision, these people were responsible for opening the way for the large army, of course Qin Ning would not attack such a few people.
After another two hours, the large army of the Eastern Prince's northward reinforcements drove into the sight of Xixin Cliff.
Qin Ning was not in a hurry, and waited for the army of the Eastern Prince to pass in front of him little by little.
When the army of the Eastern Prince went out for half of the number, Qin Ning ordered, fight!
The heavy artillery on the Resting Heart Cliff and the long-range high-grade alchemy ordnance on the steep hillside opened fire together, and suddenly, on the road below the Resting Heart Cliff, flames rose into the sky.
The sound of explosions, flames, and strong lights came and went, and the army of the Eastern Emperor was cut off at once by the fierce fire of the Qin army! More than 1,000 soldiers were wiped out in an instant, and many more soldiers were beaten into a sieve by the rain of shrapnel and bullets flying in the sky.
The heavy artillery on the Xixin Cliff, the army of the Eastern Prince has no way at all, because there is no way to set up heavy artillery to fight back here, let alone climb the vertical Xixin Cliff to destroy the heavy artillery, so they can only grit their teeth and insist on being hit by the heavy artillery.
For the side of the steep hillside, the army of the Eastern Prince can attack, but attacking the dense firepower points of the Qin army from the back is purely an act of seeking death.
In less than an hour, 50,000 soldiers of the Eastern Prince's army died here.
Qin Ning also wanted to expand the results of the battle, and suddenly bursts of black mist were emitted in the army of the Eastern Prince, and these black mist slowly rose, with the meaning of spreading to the range where the Qin army was. Qin Ning could see that this black mist was poisonous, and the soldiers of the Qin army would have a lot of trouble if they came into contact with it.
This should be something equipped by the mysterious person behind the Eastern Prince, to prevent accidents. Qin Ning didn't want to annihilate the 500,000 army, but seeing that it had caused a lot of damage to the army of the Eastern Prince, and the strategic goal had been achieved, he ordered the Qin army to retreat.
Back to the Chinese military tent on the Eastern Front, the generals had already drawn up a detailed battle plan and reported it to Qin Ning for the final decision. (To be continued......)
