Chapter 258 This is not a war, this is hunting!
“Attack but don’t attack by force, retreat but don’t return to camp.”
Looking at the Yan army’s formation in the distance, Ying Chengyu frowned: “What does General Yan want?”
If he intends to attack the camp on a large scale, he should not just send 10,000 troops, but directly concentrate his superior forces to attack in a large scale.
If you want to stabilize the canal and only want to send a small force to make a big impact, then you should not let the entire army leave the camp.
As for the 60,000 Yan troops who had formed a defensive formation in the north of the Qin army's camp early, Ying Chengyu was even more confused.
Wake up!
It’s not me who’s sneak-attacking you, it’s you who’s sneak-attacking me!
As a sneak attacker, why do you use more than half of your troops to defend against our attack?
No matter which angle Ying Chengyu analyzed it from, he could not figure out what Jiang Qu was thinking.
But how can a person who can serve as the prime minister of a country be a fool?
Ying Chengyu always feels that there is a scam in this!
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Ben finally said: "If a general makes sudden and puzzling actions, it is mostly due to the king's order."
Ying Chengyu was slightly startled.
After thinking for a while, Ying Chengyu's eyes widened: "Is this attack on the camp the order of King Yan Xi?"
Jicheng is more than 1,300 miles away from here!
In an era without telephones or telegraphs, did the messengers complete a distance of more than 1,300 miles and send orders to the frontline generals to attack the enemy camp at night?
This is simply more outrageous than sitting in the rear and commanding the frontline machine gun position to move five meters to the left through a telegraph!
Wang Ben sighed softly: "The general is just a guess, it cannot be true."
"The general's guess is just because it is common for generals to be trapped by Wang Ling. After all, the battle situation is changeable. , and Wang Ling lags behind.”
"If you obey the king's order, you will probably lose your army, but if you don't respect the king's order, it is a serious crime. It's difficult to be a general!"
"Only as a great king's general can we not be swayed by such ridiculous orders. . ”
“My generals in the Qin Dynasty are the envy of the generals in the world!”
All the heroes have records of interfering in frontline operations, but Ying Zheng has never interfered with frontline generals.
Wang Ben’s fierce praise came from his sincerity, and he also hoped that Ying Chengyu could convey all his praises to Ying Zheng’s ears, put the high hat on Ying Zheng’s head, and let Ying Zheng wear his hat in the future. Even if you want to micromanage the front line, you are too embarrassed to do so.
Ying Chengyu did not think about Wang Ben's little thoughts, but looked at the Yan army thoughtfully: "In order to obey the king's order, we had to sneak attack our army."
"But because he understood that the sneak attack would definitely not be successful, Okay, so more than half of the troops are used for defense?"
"That makes sense."
"But the general has arrived, but King Yan is not only unwilling to retreat. Even ordered a night attack on the front line? "Did King Yan think that our soldiers couldn't carry their swords?"
The defensive formation composed of 60,000 troops seemed to be extremely solid.
But if the catapults were not heavy and difficult to transport, and were all sent back to Xianyang City by Ying Chengyu, Ying Chengyu would now be able to use the coordinated tactics of walking and throwing to smash open the turtle shell of the Yan army.
Even though the catapults had not arrived with the army, the Yan army in front of him was still full of flaws in Ying Chengyu's eyes.
The two most important flaws are King Yan who is determined to have his own way and likes to micro-manage, and a coach who is supposed to shine in the field of internal affairs but has to lead troops into battle!
After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Xiao Tu's troops immediately went thirty miles north and ambush behind Daliu Mountain."
"Wang Ben's troops circled the west side of the Yan Army, Meng Nan's troops circled the east side of the Yan Army, and Jiang Ming's troops The troops arrived at the south side of the Yan army..."
Following Ying Chengyu's order, all 110,000 Qin troops came out of the camp and poured across the entire battlefield.
Looking at the Qin army surrounding him, Jiang Qu said in a deep voice: "Order! The rear army turns to the front army to open the way. The Chinese army maintains its military formation and slowly withdraws to the northeast!"
However, the Yan army had just made a move, and Li Xin's troops immediately led troops to attack the Yan army's right wing from the south!
Seeing the Qin army galloping in, Qu felt shuddered and quickly gave the order: "Stop the whole army! Reorganize the phalanx!"
The 80,000 Yan troops all stopped and panicked. Zhang's spear was pointed at the Qin army.
Li Xin's troops, who had just rushed in, turned around and left, causing the Yan army to look at each other.
Jiang Qu once again ordered: "The front army should clear the way and retreat!"
The Yan army began to march again, but Li Xin's troops came as promised, and their target was that there were loopholes in the Yan army's formation. direction.
General Qu had to order for the second time: "The whole army stops!"
Li Xin's troops retreated again.
Wang Ben and Jiang Ming's troops have also taken advantage of this time to outflank them.
But none of the Qin troops took the initiative to attack. They just cruised around the Yan army and threatened them as soon as the Yan army made the slightest move!
Looking around at the Qin army that had surrounded the Yan army on three sides, Jiang Qu’s hands were filled with sweat.
Yan An solemnly said: "Commander, if we continue to consume like this for a long time, our army's losses will be far greater than those of the Qin army!"
On the current battlefield, the Yan army is like a flock of sheep huddled together to keep warm.
But the Qin army was wandering around the sheep like 110,000 hungry wolves, greedy but patiently waiting for the opportunity to hunt.
But Yan Jun is not a sheep after all, they are thoughtful people!
Under the long-term stalemate, the morale of the Yan army will definitely collapse!
Jiang Qu slowly exhaled a breath: "What Captain Yan'an said makes sense."
"We can't be in such a stalemate anymore."
"Order, the whole army marches twenty feet northward ! "
With the order, the entire Yan army quickly marched twenty feet north, and Li Xin's troops also moved accordingly.
However, Li Xin's troops had just made some moves, but the Yan army had already rearranged their formation and continued to block the enemy with a hail of guns.
Seeing this, Li Xin could only lead the army back again and continue to cruise around the Yan army.
Yan An excitedly shouted: "The coach's strategy is useful!"
"As long as our army can march, even if the marching speed is slower, the soldiers will have hope in their hearts."
< br>"Once the Qin army's flaw is discovered, our army can break out of the encirclement!"
Jiang Qu also looked excited: "It doesn't matter if you go slower, if you go slower, you will be more stable."
"Perhaps I can bring all these 80,000 robes back to Dayan!"
"Send the order to the whole army to continue marching twenty feet north!"
The Yan army withdrew little by little, and time passed. It's also moving forward little by little.
Four Quarters of Sunrise (6:00)
The sun has not yet risen, but the sunshine is already shining around Yangjin. The Qin Army's Central Army.
Looking at the Yan army, which only stopped once after walking dozens of meters, Ying Chengyu said softly: "The battle situation is so far, but there is still no change of formation or ambush?"
"Old Xiangbang, this general is here Waiting for dawn, what are you waiting for!”
“Do you really think you can crawl back to Yan?”
Ying Chengyu needs to get up at dawn to explore the surrounding areas to detect ambushes and surprise soldiers to ensure his safety. The guess is correct.
Ying Chengyu needs to get up at dawn to see the entire battlefield clearly!
Looking at the battlefield, Ying Chengyu ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order to Li Xin's troops."
"Continue to confuse the Yan army as now."
"Send the order to the king. The Qun Division and the Xifeng Division joined forces and ordered the Xifeng Division to wait for the next opportunity for the Yan Army to stop. "Once the Yan Army stops, attack immediately!"
On the battlefield, the Yan army once again began to march north.
With more stops and starts, Yan Jun has also come out of experience.
Now Yan's army is not only satisfied with walking twenty feet every time it marches, but also walks forty feet at a time.
Seeing that Li Xin's troops never attacked forcefully, the vigilance of the Yan army also dropped. Now they were not just walking, but running, and even started to jump!
Li Xin laughed in anger, but had to order again: "Soldiers, charge!"
After quickly marching forty feet north, the Yan army stopped again and looked provocatively at Li Xin, who was leading his troops to retreat.
However, Li Xin retreated, and the forty heavy bronze chariots commanded by the West Front, pulled by one hundred and sixty tall horses, galloped towards the Yan army!
"Heavy crossbow, shoot!"
On the chariot in the middle, Xi Feng gave the order in a deep voice, and in the next moment, forty crossbow bolts shot out towards the Yan army.
“The Qin army will retreat soon, right?”
"My mother! Do you see any intention of retreating from the Qin army? Get your gun quickly!"
"The enemy is attacking! The Qin army is really coming!"
"Hurry up! Commander, the Qin army has launched an attack on our army!"
Gongsun Gao, the captain guarding the left wing, saw the Qin army getting closer and closer. His voice was a little flustered, but he still kept calm and ordered: "Left Prepare to meet the enemy with spears, and kill anyone who dares to retreat!"
Fifty feet!
Thirty feet!
Xifeng's troops still did not retreat like Li Xin's troops. Instead, all the people on the left and right standing on the chariot picked up hand crossbows.
Xi Feng shouted: "Continuous crossbow fire!"
"Get ready for a collision!"
While shouting, Xi Feng also held the crossbow in his left hand and pulled the lever with his right hand at full speed. Pull up and down.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
The sound of bow strings exploding is endless.
Eight hundred hand-held crossbow arrows were all tilted out within ten breaths of time!
Although the crossbow arrows could not penetrate the Yan army's armor, they could only damage the faces and limbs of the front row spearmen.
But even if a ball hits him, who can control his instinct and not dodge?
The Yan army's spearmen in the front row are in chaos, that's enough!
“Bang!”
The heavily armored war horse broke through the chaotic forest of guns and ran straight into the spearman blocking him.
The defense line built by three layers of spearmen looks like paper and will be shattered when hit by a tank!
The Western Front pierced the face of a Yan soldier with his halberd, shouting angrily: "Avoid the impact!"
"Go through the gaps between Yan's troops!"
"Don't slow down!"
Wang Qun shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, follow the chariots and charge to kill!"
In collision After breaking through the most solid outer defense line, the Qin army's chariots deliberately avoided collisions. With the speed of their horses and the defense of their chariots, they crisscrossed the Yan army's formation, unstoppable!
After the chariot, 15,000 Qin troops followed and followed the gap opened by the chariot to continue to expand the results.
The Qin army's sudden attack not only stunned the Yan army, but even General Qu didn't recover for the first time.
Seeing that the Qin army had entered the Yan army's formation, the general Qu quickly shouted: "Order!"
"Le Xun's troops reinforced the left wing, and the entire army retreated into formation to block the gap on the left wing. "
"Trapped the Qin army in our army formation, surrounded and killed it!"
As long as the Yan army can complete the reorganization of the army formation, a local battlefield can be formed. Use more troops to attack the smaller troops, and then completely annihilate the Western Front troops.
However, at the same time as he gave the order to Qu, Ying Chengyu also gave the order again: "Order!"
"Wang Qun's troops stabilized the withdrawal channel, and Xifeng's troops immediately turned to withdraw."
< br>"Jiang Ming advanced, the crossbow arrows were scattered!"
"Wang Ben's troops advanced with infantry!"
"Li Xin's troops led by a thousand men, harassing the Yan army Former army! ”
Withdrawing troops on one side and increasing troops on three sides, the battle situation changed in an instant.
In desperation, the general could only change his order: "Let the Qin army's chariots leave the formation, order our army's chariots to move south, and destroy the Qin army's crossbowmen!"
"Order the Chinese army to reinforce The rear army and the front army are not allowed to act rashly!"
But just as the Yan army completed the change of formation, Ying Chengyu ordered again: "Let Jiang Ming's troops retreat and Meng Nan's troops advance!"
< br>"The Xifeng troops moved to the southwest, joined forces with Wang Ben, and penetrated the Yan army's rear formation!"
"Li Xin's troops join forces and attack the weak point!"
Ying Chengyu kept scanning the entire battlefield with his eyes and mouthed one order after another.
Jiang Qu had to follow Ying Chengxuan's attack to devise a defensive strategy.
If Pang Nuan were still alive, he would definitely find this scene extremely familiar!
The war model of high frequency, multiple battlefields, and coordination among various ministries was exactly Pang Nuan’s combat policy against Ying Chengyu when he was building Fish City.
However, during the battle of Xiuyu City, Pang Nuan's troops and Ying Chengyu's troops fought back and forth with similar losses, just like a master-disciple teaching game.
But today’s battle is not teaching, or even war.
But a hunt!
