Chapter 599: Did this general fall into a trap? Ben will do it on purpose! Seventy thousand soldiers and horses are just bait!
West of Xiapi City.
Xiang Yan stood on the urn city, looking deeply into the night sky outside the city that was burned red by the fire.
Qu Huan punched the city wall with a fierce punch: "It's your mother's fault!"
"The enemy is deceitful!"
"The Qin-Qi coalition forces must have already set up empty camps and are just waiting for our army to get in."
"Our army has fallen into the trap!"
When the fire arrows were thrown into the sky At that moment, Qu Huan knew that the three parts of Zhao and Xiang were over!
The fire arrow was definitely not set by the Zhao and Xiang tribes, but by the Qin and Qi coalition forces.
Since the Qin-Qi coalition forces will take the initiative to throw fire arrows at the Qin-Qi coalition camp, it means that Ying Chengyu has already made the overall arrangements.
That camp was not a resting area for the Qin-Qi coalition at all, but a trap carefully laid by Ying Chengyu!
Qu Huan could not understand why Xiang Yan sent 40,000 troops to attack the Qin army camp at night.
Qu Huan only knew that these 40,000 troops and horses would probably be completely lost!
For the Chu army, which had already suffered a major defeat, this not only represented the failure of the battle plan, but also a heavy blow to the Chu army!
Qu Huan exclaimed heartbrokenly: "Do all the waiting people do very much?"
"Are all the scouts blind?"
"The scouts and waiters have misled me!"
Xiang Yan did not express any opinion on this, but turned his eyes to the east and said in a calm voice: "I'm afraid Xiang Han's troops have fallen into the trap!"
Qu Huan suddenly looked to the east and saw the fire dragon belonging to Xiang Han's troops merging with Jing Huan and Sun Xing at high speed. The fire dragons converge.
"Xiang Han's troops have also fallen into the trap?" Qu Huan murmured in confusion: "Aren't Xiang Han's troops working with..."
Just looking at the battle situation, Qu Huan didn't see anything wrong.
But the next moment, the conflict between the overall strategy and the battle situation jumped out of his mind, and Qu Huan's eyes suddenly condensed: "Too fast!"
"They met too fast! ”
In the original plan, Xiang Han’s headquarters first had to take on the task of attracting the attention of the Qin and Qi coalition forces.
After attracting enough Qin troops, they immediately formed a siege with Jing Huan and Sun Xing, and quickly killed part of the enemy troops with superior force on local battlefields, and undermined the morale of the enemy troops.
But according to the current speed of Xiang Han's troops, unless Xiang Han has the unstoppable impact of Xiang Rong, it means that there are not many enemy troops in front of Xiang Han's troops!
This not only means that the encirclement plan between Xiang Han's troops and Jing Huan and Sun Xing's troops has been broken, but it also means that Xiang Han's troops failed to complete Xiang Yan's orders and failed to attract much attention from the Qin and Qi coalition forces. force.
What's more...
Xiang Yan said in a calm voice: "The general's layout today was all within the expectations of Lord Qin Chang'an and General Jian of Qin."
< br>“That camp must have been carefully arranged by the Qin and Qi coalition forces. It not only deceived our scouts, but also hid a large amount of grease earlier.”
"Although the ambush looks majestic, it may be just like the Qin and Qi coalition forces attacking Zhao. They were made by one person holding many torches."
"The two strategies of attacking the camp and involving others were defeated. Yes."
Qu Huan, Xiong Liu and other generals suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yan, their eyes full of fear, and then there was an uproar:
"Our army What happened tonight was what Qin Changan expected?"
"How could it be so! How could our army be victorious? What could our army do?"
"Our army made two moves, and the two troops fell into siege. How many arrangements and back-ups are waiting for our army between Qin and Qi?"
"What should we do next? Watch the situation of this battle. , I am afraid that even if our army wants to retreat to the south of the Huaihe River as the king said, it will be difficult to achieve success!"
What is the most fearful thing about war?
It’s not that we are outnumbered or that we are outnumbered.
But all your thoughts have been learned by the enemy!
Now, the Chu army was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and there was pressure from the King of Chu. They were facing Ying Chengyu, who had defeated the Chu army twice, and the Qin-Qi coalition blocked the city gate and scolded him for more than a month!
They are already under a lot of pressure.
When they knew that their plans were all within Ying Chengyu's expectation.
Many generals are almost mentally broken!
Qu Huan took a few deep breaths, suppressed his trembling heart, and spoke in a bitter but firm voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom is so peaceful. I guess you have already expected that Lord Qin Changan would know about our army's arrangement, right? ”
Xiang Yan nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Xiong Liu quietly took two steps back and looked at Xiang Yan with a little more suspicion.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.
Could it be that Xiang Yan has secretly surrendered to Qin? !
But a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the hearts of more generals, and their hopeful eyes suddenly looked towards Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan looked towards the direction of the Qin army's camp, and there was a bit more expectation in his voice: "The Qin-Qi coalition must have expected that we would try to fight another battle before withdrawing."
"This general It is true that there will be another battle before the withdrawal. "For this reason, I ordered Zhaoxiang's three troops to attack the enemy camp at night, and ordered Xiang Han's troops to lure the enemy."
"If it can be done, it will really be our great fortune."
"If it can't be done, no matter what arrangements Qin Chang'an Jun and Qin General Jian have made before, they will definitely seize it. Two chances to win, storm Pi City!”
Xiang Yan finally revealed his real plan for this battle.
Perhaps Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian made a perfect siege.
But when Xiang Yan took the initiative to expose the flaws of the Chu army and exposed the emptiness of Xiapi City, how could Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian remain indifferent?
Although the total strength of the Qin and Qi coalition forces was large, it was unable to form an absolute advantage over the Chu army in the siege, and it was somewhat stretched when it was actually used.
In order to seize Xiapi City, Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian will definitely take the initiative to abolish a series of arrangements and devote their troops to Xiapi City.
In this way, Xiang Yan will have the initiative in the battle!
But none of the generals cheered for Xiang Yan.
Looking at Xiang Yan's overall layout, it is not difficult to find.
Although Zhao Xiang, Xiang Han and other six troops did have a slight chance to achieve the strategic goal, they only had a slight chance. Their main purpose in the battle is just bait thrown by Xiang Yan to Ying Chengyu!
That’s more than 70,000 robes!
Many of them are their own blood relatives!
Is the strategy gained with their blood worthy of applause?
Qu Huan just looked in the direction of the gate of Wengcheng: "These dead objects are the real decisive strategy for the Shangzhu Kingdom, right?"
The original gate of Xiapiwengcheng Directly above is a bare city wall.
But Xiang Yan ordered the craftsmen to build a pavilion here. In recent days, he would stand under the pavilion every time he commanded the battle, as if he wanted to use the pavilion to protect him from the sun and rain.
Today, behind the pavilion, a wooden platform was built with extremely thick wood.
There are more than ten long boulders weighing dozens of stones placed on the wooden platform!
On the back side of the city gate building, there is also such a general layout!
Originally Qu Huan didn't know Xiang Yan's purpose of doing this.
But when Xiang Yan admitted that Xiapi City was the main battlefield for tonight's battle, Qu Huan finally understood Xiang Yan's thoughts.
Xiang Yan said in a sincere and firm voice: "You officers and soldiers are the basis for our decisive victory!"
"The gains and losses I made in this battle will be left to my own hands after the war. The court will deal with it."
"However, our army will be avenged in this battle tonight!"
"Please die for our great Chu!"
What else could Qu Huan and other soldiers do?
Compassion does not control military righteousness.
They also understand this.
After experiencing the initial intolerance, all the generals acquiesced in Xiang Yan's bait strategy and handed over their hands: "You must serve your life!"
Xiang Yan smiled happily: "Good! ”
"Very good!"
His eyes fell in the direction of the Qin-Qi coalition camp again, Xiang Yan murmured softly: "I only hope that Zhaoxiang's troops can escape smoothly!"
"Otherwise , This strategy is difficult to achieve!”
……
At the same time.
Zhaoxiang, who had just escaped from the sea of fire, was disgraced and miserable. He had cut off several pieces of cloth from his lower clothes to prevent the spread of the fire.
If Zhao Xiang hadn't been wearing the heavy armor of a Chu general, it wouldn't be inappropriate to say that he was a beggar fleeing from famine.
But as soon as he emerged from the sea of fire, Zhaoxiang ran into the flanking troops of Tu Sui.
Zhaoxiang had no choice but to steel himself, ride his horse, raise his spear, and charge into the enemy formation himself.
“My lord, withdraw!”
After Zhao Piao, the commander of the family army, swung a spear and stabbed Zhao Xiang, he screamed sadly: "The enemy has already ambushed here, and the Lord only has more than a hundred robes around his body."
"If we don't fight out early, we will all die in this battle!"
Zhaoxiang pulled out a spear from the heart of a Qi soldier, breathed in oxygen, and kept scanning the battle situation with his eyes: " Withdraw?"
"Will the enemy allow our army to withdraw easily?"
"The enemy is clearly going to wipe out our army here!"
Zhaoxiang has killed three Qi soldiers in a row, and he is still wearing the eye-catching heavy armor of a general, but he has not yet heard the call to persuade him to surrender.
The Qin-Qi coalition forces made it clear that they wanted his life!
After scanning the entire battlefield, Zhaoxiang finally made up his mind: "Go back to the fire!"
Zhao Piao was stunned: "What?"
Zhaoxiang did not. To explain, he just pulled the reins and ran towards the fire.
Zhaoxiang has already rushed. As the commander of the family army, what can Zhaopi do?
He could only face his scalp and rush back into the hell-like sea of fire behind Zhao Xiang!
All the Qi troops looked at each other.
"Should we pursue it or not?"
"What a fart! Any head with burn marks will be deemed burned to death, and there will be no money in exchange for it!"
"No money? No money to fight for!"
"Just let them be burned to death by fire."
A head burned by fire cannot be replaced by an individual Money can only be distributed according to merit as a collective reward after the war.
This alone dispelled the enthusiasm of all the Qi troops and watched Zhaoxiang's troops return to the fire scene again.
Looking back and seeing that Qi Jun did not continue to pursue and kill, Zhaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted in a hissing voice: "This general is here!"
"Chu Army Paoze come here quickly to join forces!"
Zhao Piao and other soldiers finally understood Zhao Xiang's thoughts, and hurriedly shouted in unison:
"The Captain is here!"< br>
"Pao Ze, come quickly!"
Under the shouts of Zhao Piao and others, more and more Chu army soldiers who were lost in the fire came closer to Zhao Xiang.
It wasn't until more than two thousand remnant soldiers gathered around him, and the fire became more and more intense. Many soldiers couldn't help but want to run away. Only then did Zhao Xiang give the order again: "Follow me and charge back to the city!"< br>
"I will definitely bring you all with me."
"Go home!"
In the fire scene, more than two thousand Chu troops could not see Zhaoxiang's general flag, so they could only Hearing the shouts of Zhao Piao and other soldiers, he still shouted excitedly:
“Go home!”
