Chapter 408: Death or Survival?!

Jing Chou excitedly shouted: "Order the whole army, turn west!" ”

Before the generals had time to respond, Xiang Rong subconsciously shouted: "Don't!" ”

Jing Chou's fierce gaze suddenly swept towards Xiang Rong.

Because of Xiang Rong's identity, Jing Chou is willing to respect him a little bit and sell him face on weekdays.

But the big war is imminent, and the military orders are like a mountain.

Jing Chou will not allow anyone to resist his orders!

Jing Chou scolded in a deep voice: "Xiang Duwei, dare to ......"

However, before Jing Chou's words were finished, Xiang Rong had already spoken in a loud voice: "The Qin army is coming from the northwest, since the Qin army can arrange fire in three directions, there is no reason not to ignite the fire in the west. ”

"The last general thinks that the Qin army is not attacking the city but still besieging Sanqueyi, it must be to guide our army to the direction."

Xiang Rong took a step forward, and his voice became more and more anxious: "And now it's the southwest wind blowing!" ”

"The fire is in the wind, and the wildfire will spread from the southwest to the northeast."

"As we all know, when a wildfire rises, it's easier to escape against the wind."

"According to common sense, our army must rush to the southwest."

"Even if Qin Chang'anjun thinks that our army has other preparations, how can he not ignite the fire in the west?"

"It's all fraud!"

"If our army turns to the southwest, it will definitely crash into the encirclement of the Qin army!"

Although there is only a quiet night in the West.

But compared with the east, south, and north directions where the mountain fires were burning, the pitch-black west brought Xiang Rong even more terrifying fear.

The battles that Xiang Rong had deduced, the military books he had read, and the teachings he had heard were all blended into intuition in Xiang Rong's mind, making him feel as if he had seen a demon who was about to pounce under the Western night!

This seems to be the safest direction, but in Xiang Rong's opinion, this is the most dangerous road!

Xiong Ao shook his head: "The west of the main peak of Dahong Mountain is a wide valley like a bag. ”

"There are Tibetan soldiers of our army on the peaks of the small village peaks and Huashan on both sides of the wide valley, and there are many scouts at the mouth of the valley."

"If the Qin army really drove straight into the wide valley, how could our army scouts not be aware of it!"

"The Qin army should have discovered the ambush soldiers arranged by our army in Xiaozhaizi Peak and other places, so as not to be discovered by our army scouts, so they did not enter the valley, but directly ignited a mountain fire!"

"The widest part of the wide valley is more than 200 miles, and there is the Wenxia River in the valley, even if the mountain fire is ignited in Dahong Mountain, our army can still hold out in the wide valley until the mountain fire ends."

"That's why our army can be transferred into the wide valley."

"You can even use the mountain fire to resist the Qin army, sit and wait for the Shangzhu State to return to the division, cooperate with our army, and encircle and annihilate the Qin army!"

"Therefore, I will agree with Vice General Jing's order!"

Xiong Ao's words were recognized by most of the generals.

Although the first line of Dahong Mountain has been captured by the Chu army, this place has belonged to the Qin State for the past few decades, and from the perspective of the Qin court, this is the territory of the Qin State.

If the Qin army hadn't discovered the ambush, how could it have burned Dahong Mountain for no reason?

"Qin Law" pays special attention to environmental protection, and even cutting down trees needs to be reported to the township on weekdays, let alone burning mountains!

Even if Ying Chengcheng is not afraid of breaking the yang longevity and damaging the yin virtue, isn't he worried about the post-war accountability!

And if the Qin army had already discovered the ambush, then how could the Qin army drill into the trap knowing that there were ambushes?

Compared with Xiang Rong's words, Xiong Ao's consideration is undoubtedly more reasonable and thoughtful.

All the generals bowed their hands in unison: "The last general seconded the proposal!" ”

However, Jing Chou's heart was struggling and entangled.

Jing Chou believes that most generals will be like Xiong Ao.

But the problem is, Ying Chengcheng is not a normal general!

How did this person ever play cards according to the routine?

Jing Chou asked anxiously: "Captain Xiang thinks that we shouldn't turn to the west, where does Captain Xiang think our army should turn into?" ”

Xiang Rong said decisively: "Turn into the Northeast!" ”

All the generals were stunned: "This place is a dense forest, but Captain Xiang wants our army to flee with the wind?!" ”

"There is also a fire in the northeast, there must be an ambush by the Qin army, and the terrain in the northeast is higher, isn't this the way to die!"

"Isn't Xiang Duwei crazy?!"

Different fire sites have different ways to escape.

In a forest fire, running away from the wind and running up the mountain is an absolute act of seeking death.

And if you can clearly feel the wind, or you can see the wind blowing the leaves, you can say that you have booked a one-way ticket to Huangquan!

Because people can't run away from the mountain fire that is carried by the wind!

At the same time, the flame will spread significantly faster to higher places than to lower places.

The only way to cross the line of fire is to cross the line of fire by going against the wind and looking for places where the vegetation is sparse and the fire is small, so that you can reach a safe area where the fire is burned out and cannot be restarted.

Living to die is the way to survive!

But now, Xiang Rong actually let the Chu army run along the wind to a higher terrain?

It's not crazy what it is!

In the face of a lot of doubts, Xiang Rong said in a deep voice: "You can order the scouts to go first, use sand and soil to extinguish the fire lit by the Qin army in the northeast, and open up a road for passage!" ”

"It's southwesterly tonight, but it's autumn!"

"The last general thought that this southwest wind would definitely not last too long!"

"One day at most, maybe just wait until the sun rises, and the wind will turn!"

"And it's not very windy tonight."

"My Chu army is already good at running, with the speed of my Chu army, there is a chance to get rid of the mountain fire, leave Dahong Mountain from the northeast, and enter the range of Suixian!"

Jing Chou asked in disappointment: "That's all?" All speculation? ”

Jing Chou originally thought that as Xiang Yan's eldest son, Xiang Rong could say what military strategy theory to help Jing Chou convince himself and the whole army.

But what is in Jing Chou's ears?

I thought, maybe, there was a chance.

There are no theories to back it up, just intuition and speculation!

These intuition can help Xiang Rong make up his mind to be reckless.

But how can you persuade Jing Chou, the generals of all departments and the soldiers of the whole army to take a risk with an army of 140,000 in a way that goes against common sense!

Xiang Rong looked at Jing Chou sincerely: "The last general's strategy is indeed relatively risky, but it should be able to avoid the main force of the Qin army. ”

"As long as you enter the territory of Suixian, even if the Qin army has another ambush to stop it, our army can annihilate the Qin army and regroup with its familiarity with the mountains and forests!"

"On the contrary, our army may crash headlong into the encirclement of the main force of the Qin army as soon as it leaves the mountains and forests!"

"Vice General Jing, give the order!"

However, Jing Chou waved his hand: "All of Xiang Duwei's admonitions are based on conjecture. ”

"I guess the wind won't get stronger tonight."

"Guess the wind will turn tomorrow."

"Guess that the main force of the Qin army can bypass our army scouts, and Chen soldiers are in Kuangu."

"But can you guarantee that your judgment won't be wrong?"

Xiang Rong was speechless.

How can he guarantee it?

He's not a weather forecaster!

Even if it's a weather forecast, it's not guaranteed to be 100% accurate!

Xiang Rong could only say: "The last general thinks that this is the most beneficial choice for our department!" ”

Just running against the wind, in Xiang Rong's opinion, is not living to death at all, but drilling into the urn!

Judging by past celestial phenomena, it seems that the downwind running away from death is the real life to death!

Jing Chou said in a deep voice: "If the fire takes advantage of the wind and the wind helps the fire, the mountain wind will become more and more vigorous and will not turn." ”

"Have you ever wondered what will happen to my department?"

Jing Chou shouted angrily: "The whole army is annihilated!" Not a single one to stay! ”

"The Shangzhu State Department will even use 80,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Qin army that is unscathed and victorious!"

"Who will bear the responsibility for the defeat then!"

"I, Dachu, all the people, how can I accept this loss!"

The strategy of the scenery only needs to consider the arrangement of the Ying Cheng Chan, and it can be inferred according to the battlefield environment.

But Xiang Rong's strategy needs to rely on God's reward to eat.

Entrusting the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers to the will of heaven?

Don't talk about Jingchou, the whole army can't agree!

After some angry reprimands, the pressure in Jing Chou's heart was relieved a little, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered in a deep voice:

"Order!"

"The whole army abandons all baggage, only carries dry rations, armor, and blades, and assembles immediately!"

"Captain Xiong Ao's department served as the vanguard, and all the copper shovels in the army were handed over to Xiong Ao's department."

"Cover the soil in case of fire, open the way with fire!"

"Captain Quou's department is the left wing, and Captain Lauder's department is the right wing, always reconnoitring the fire."

"The rest of the troops are scattered and hurrying, even if they disrupt the tribe, it will not hinder."

"Run west at full speed and join forces in the wide valley!"

All the generals agreed: "Only! ”

Before their hands were completely down, all the generals hurried in the direction of their headquarters.

The fire waits for no one.

They've been delaying for too long, it's really too late!

Jing Chou spoke again: "Captain Xiang, the soldiers and horses of the army are merged into the rear army." ”

Xiang Rong looked at Jing Chou in disbelief: "Why! ”

Jing Chou patted Xiang Rong's shoulder and said softly, "Ben will not be able to deny your judgment. ”

"Although our scouts have not detected the movements of the Qin army, the Qin army can take advantage of the mountain fire and the chaos of our army to quickly send the main force to advance into the wide valley and intercept our army."

"At that time, the front army of our army was exhausted by extinguishing the fire, and the middle army of our army would also lose its combat strength due to the heat wave."

"Your troops are the most proficient, and your troops should maintain their combat strength as much as possible and break the situation for our army!"

Xiang Rong asked incomprehensibly: "Since General Jing also thinks that the Qin army may arrange ambushes in the west, why don't you listen to the advice of the last general!" ”

Jing Chou shook his head: "Captain Xiang Du needs to convince not only the generals, but also the soldiers of the whole army!" ”

"Otherwise, there is no need for the enemy to ambush our army, and our army will have collapsed!"

Let the 140,000 people who know the mountains and forests go against their instincts and experience when a wildfire occurs, and flee with you.

This can only be done with a convincing reason given by a commander who has a strong command of the army.

Otherwise, when the night is dark and the soldiers are in chaos, why should people go with you to die?

You don't let the soldiers run against the wind?

Legs on the soldiers, what can you do!

Even the aristocratic lieutenants may disobey the order and leave the army!

Xiang Rong finally understood where his mistake was, and bowed apologetically: "Vice General Xie Jing mentioned!" ”

Jing Chou patted Xiang Rong's arm again: "Go and transfer troops!" ”

Seeing Xiang Rong leave, Jing Chou looked at the four directions with a calm gaze.

The oil sprinkled in advance was connected by the flames, and the southwest wind made the mountain fire complete the encirclement of the main peak of Dahong Mountain, Xiaozhaizi Peak, Huashan and other mountains.

The flames are more than 100 miles long, and the smoke is clouded and the moonlight is obscured!

Wildfires have become a trend!
