Su Jiao threw his hand excitedly: "The Chu army is really ambushed in Dahong Mountain. ”

"The boss is wise!"

Yang Hu, Li Xin and all other generals also shouted in unison:

"The boss is wise!"

Although it is not yet known how many troops the enemy army has deployed, all the generals such as Li Xin and Yang Hu have already shown a relieved smile.

They didn't run empty!

The efforts of Cen Bian and Meng Tian are also worth it!

What's more, Ying Chengcheng once again proved that he can lead everyone to victory!

However, there was no smile on Ying Chengcheng's face.

He was indeed gambling, but it didn't matter if he won or lost.

If the bet is lost, there are no hidden troops on the front line of Dahongshan, and Xiang Yan does only bring 80,000 sailors to the southeast, then it means that Xiang Yan's department is just a bait, and the Chu State will continue to put heavy troops on the battlefield of Chencheng, which represents the overall strategic failure of the Qin State.

But in that case, the pressure is Wang Qian's, and on the local battlefield that Ying Chengcheng is in charge of, Ying Chengcheng will be able to go south along the Dahong Mountain and cut off the supply line of the Chu army.

Then it turned to the northwest, cooperated with Cen Bian, Meng Tian, and Mengnan to continuously compress the living space of the Chu army, and finally encircled and annihilated the Chu army!

But now, Ying Chengcheng has won the bet.

This means that the State of Chu has indeed sent heavy troops to advance into the Jianghan Plain, and the war in front of Ying Chengcheng will become more and more dangerous!

Ying Chengcheng asked solemnly: "Have you ever been caught by the enemy's tail?" ”

The scout hurriedly shook his head: "Absolutely never!" ”

"Our department obeyed the commander's order, and after discovering the traces of the Chu army's activities, he pretended to be a homeless and approached."

"After seeing the Chu army from a distance, he immediately withdrew and left, and he never deeply explored the strength of the Chu army, nor did he have direct contact with the Chu army."

The scout looked at Ying Chengcheng with fiery eyes: "Dare to ask the boss, do I want to return to Xiaozhai Zifeng and investigate deeply?" ”

All the generals looked at Ying Cheng in unison.

They galloped day and night for so long, and now they finally caught the tail of the Chu army.

All the soldiers are hungry for their swords!

However, Ying Chengcheng shouted in a deep voice: "Take the Kun Yu map!" ”

With Ying Chengchan's order, the family soldiers immediately unfolded the Kunyu map in front of Ying Chengchan.

"Little Zhaizi Peak."

Ying Chengcheng pointed at the small village peak with a wooden stick, and his eyes scanned back and forth on the Kunyu map.

It can be seen that Xiaozhaizi Peak is located in the northwest of Dahong Mountain, which is the area closest to the plain of Dahong Mountain Range.

The small village peak and Huashan are far away, and the topography in the southeast direction forms a natural pocket array!

Once the flat land between Xiaozhai Peak and Huashan is sealed, the Qin army will turn into a turtle in an urn!

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Ying Chengcheng muttered softly: "The general expected that there were other soldiers and horses in Xiang Yan's department. ”

"The general also expected that this army of soldiers and horses would hide in Dahong Mountain."

"However, did the Chu Shangzhu Congress expect that Ben General expected all this?"

As long as the chief general of the Qin army is a general who has a good view of the overall situation, even if he is not a famous general, it is likely to see that the Chu army has to act like this.

Ying Cheng's voice was a little more determined: "Chu Shangzhu Kingdom must have expected all this. ”

"Even if it's just to be safe, Chu Shangzhu State will not give up the terrain that is so suitable for ambushes."

"Xiaozhai Peak will definitely not be the main force of the enemy."

The small village peak is to the surrounding terrain what the rope is to a pocket.

Who's going to use a drawstring to load something when there's a pocket available?

Ying Cheng's voice was raised: "Order! ”

"Send four thousand scouts and sneak to Huashan, Baierjian, and Changling...... And the direction of the main peak of Dahong Mountain is investigated. ”

"There is also no need to check the strength of the enemy army, once you find the traces of the enemy, go back directly!"

The scout immediately surrendered: "Only! ”

The four thousand scouts quickly changed into short sackcloth clothes, brought enough food to eat for several days, and walked in the direction of the mountains and forests.

Ying Chengcheng turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Order all county orders in Nanyang County, add bayonets, and abolish the qualifications of counties, townships, and li to issue passes (passes), and no one is allowed to leave the country without a military order." ”

"The gates of each city are shut, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Especially let the city and county orders keep an eye on the people in the city, once the people want to go out of the city, they will be dealt with according to the disobedience of the military order, and the three clans of the head of the family will be razed! This decree is made clear to all cities! ”

"Decree Wancheng County, Wancheng give up the autumn harvest, be sure to bring all the people in the territory into the city, check the list against the books, but one person has not entered the city, and the neighbors sit together!"

"All the scouts are released under the guise of county soldiers, be sure to keep our department hidden, and anyone who may leak the whereabouts of our department will be killed!"

"Order Meng Nan's subordinates to speed up their march and be sure to arrive in Shandu County within half a month!"

All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "Only! ”

All the generals knew that the enemy army was not far away, but no one knew how many enemy troops there were.

A tense atmosphere hung over Qin Jun's head.

But they couldn't do anything but wait quietly.

As time passed, a scout returned to the barracks.

"Boss! Huashan found traces of the Chu army! ”

"Boss! Bai Erjian has never found any trace of the enemy! ”

"Coach ......"

As the messages came back, the Kunyu map was dropped with chess pieces of different colors.

Looking at the location map of the Chu army outlined by the red chess pieces, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned: "The Chu army really arranged an ambush!" ”

"Didn't Chu Jun have long expected that our army would find Dahong Mountain?"

Even if he didn't know how many troops each chess piece represented, Li Xin could still feel how dangerous the pocket array formed by this flag was!

Yang Hu arched his hand in admiration: "The coach is like a god!" ”

However, Ying Chengcheng's brows wrinkled even deeper:

"Ben Jun expected Chu Shangzhu, Guo expected Ben Jun to expect his arrangement."

"Then Chu Shangzhuguo, can you expect Benjun to expect him, Benjun to expect his arrangement?"

"If Chu Shangzhu Guo expected it, what would he do?"

"Tempting me to go deeper? Naval landing flank? ”

Or ......

"This is the second battlefield he chose?"

"Chu Shangzhu State allocated troops like that, could it be just to lead the army here?"

If the Qin army is good at field warfare, and the Han army is good at crossbows, then the Chu army is good at water warfare, mountain warfare, jungle warfare and rush warfare.

The legs of the Chu army are definitely the fastest two legs among all the soldiers of the Warring States Period, which can be called the permanent state of sprinting.

And mountain warfare and jungle warfare are the Chu army's housekeeping skills!

If a decisive battle is really launched in Dahong Mountain, the Qin army will still be at a disadvantage above the geographical advantage.

Many possibilities and follow-up plans are constantly intertwined in Yingcheng's mind, and finally form a lush tree-like diagram.

After muttering for a long time, Ying Cheng muttered slowly: "From Dengcheng to Dahong Mountain, it takes three hundred miles by land and four days by water. ”

"Enough!"

Finally, Ying Chengcheng made up his mind: "Order!" ”

"The Chinese army detoured to the northeast and turned to ambush north of Dahong Mountain."

"All the scouts carried a basket of oil and sneaked into Xiaozhai Peak, Huashan, and Changling...... Around the main peak of Dahong Mountain. ”

"Sprinkle oil on the foliage at night!"

"Wait until you hear the general's order, or see the wildfire ignite."

"Set fire now!"

"Burn the mountain!"

Decisive battle?

!

How can this gentleman attack the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings!

……

September 27.

The northeast wind that has been blowing in Dahongshan for more than half a month has turned into a southwest wind that can blow light dust.

With the increasingly cold weather, the Chu soldiers hiding in the deep mountains and old forests felt more and more cold.

But the cold is for the soldiers.

The hearts of all the generals of the Chu army were on fire.

"The boss has an order for my department!" Jing Chou held the bamboo slip in his hand and said excitedly: "Be sure to send scouts first to scout carefully." ”

"If it is confirmed that there is no Qin army around, then this general will lead 100,000 troops to the northwest and attack Danyang City to cut off the Qin army's rear route."

"After capturing the city, defend Danyang City and lock the main force of the Qin army between Danyang and Dengcheng!"

"Then order the commander Xiang Rong to lead 40,000 troops into the northeast, attack Wancheng, and capture the Great Wall to force the Central Plains!"

All the generals threw their hands excitedly: "Only! ”

Xiang Rong couldn't help but move his shoulders and laughed loudly: "Finally, there is no need to stay here." ”

"The officers and men of our army can finally eat two hot meals, and they will be roasted at night!"

The other generals were also smiling.

All the generals are from noble backgrounds, and for them who are pampered all day long, there is no doubt that this half month of life is torture.

The days when cats are in the deep mountains and old forests, they really don't want to spend a day!

Zhao Huang couldn't wait to admonish: "General, do you want to eat early tomorrow and leave the camp at dawn?" ”

Xiong Ao also agrees: "Although our department is sticking to the mountains and forests, the scouts are always out to investigate. ”

"However, regardless of the scouts or the people of the surrounding cities, there has never been news of the transit of the Qin army."

"The general thinks that there is no need to probe any more."

Jing Chou shook his head: "At the time of the pre-war meeting, Shangzhu Guo judged that the Qin army was likely to send a partial division to Dahong Mountain to explore the strength of our army, or cut off our army's food and grass. ”

"To this day, although our army has not found any Qin troops, we cannot slack off."

"After all, the commander of the Qin army is Qin Chang'anjun, and he can't be underestimated!"

The generals of the various ministries also restrained their joy when they heard this.

They all remember how badly they were beaten by Yingcheng last year.

To underestimate Yingcheng is to underestimate themselves!

Jing Chou said in a deep voice: "Order the scouts of all departments to leave the camp immediately, go out for forty miles to reconnoitre, and once they find the Qin army, they will report back quickly." ”

"If the Qin army is still not discovered tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow (5:00) the open fire to make rice, and the morning (7:00) to pull out the camp!"

All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "Only! ”

The military discussion ended hastily, and the generals of the various departments opened the tent curtains with the good expectation that they would be able to eat a hot meal at all.

Immediately after that, Jing Chou frowned.

Pointing to the stars and fires in the distance, Jing Chou asked in a deep voice: "That direction is the stove hole of the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Why is Rending (21:00) still raising fires?"

"Why don't you cover it when you raise a fire to make food?"

Xiong Ao said uncertainly: "Looking at the direction, it seems to be the area where the last general's department is stationed." ”

"Then ......"

However, before Xiong Ao finished speaking, Jing Chou had already scolded angrily: "How many times has Ben told him?" ”

"Hidden! Take cover! ”

"Are you going to burn all the forbearance of our army for most of the month?"

Xiong Ao didn't care about the doubts in his heart, and immediately gave up his hand: "The last general will return to the headquarters and will be dealt with according to military law!" ”

Xiang Rong suddenly said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong! ”

"It doesn't look like the fire is leaking from the stove."

"And ......" Xiang Rong's voice unconsciously raised: "The firelight is getting more!" ”

Jing Chou suddenly looked up and looked around, and saw that the fires were lit up one after another.

Then, it gradually spread to all sides!

At this moment, a scout rushed towards Jing Chou, shouting:

"General, the Qin army has been found north of Dahong Mountain!"
