Baizhong defeated Xiang Yan, counted all the military achievements, and wrote a report to be sent to Xianyang, so he sent troops to advance eastward.

The army marched for several days and finally arrived at the edge of Yingshui River.

Xiangcheng, the birthplace of the Xiang family, was right in front of us, but Baizhong did not attack immediately.

The Chu army on the other side saw the Qin army catching up again, and the whole army was on alert and looked at the shore vigilantly.

In the main account.

Bai Zhong looked at the map and analyzed: "The closest to Xiangcheng is Chengfu. Xiang Yan plans to use Chencheng as the center and cooperate with Chengfu, Juyang and other places to form a cornering force and intercept us in Shouchun.

Outside."

"How does the general prepare to fight?"

Zhang Han asked.

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said: "There is news from central Guizhou. Governor Ning and others are still besieging the city of Guizhou, deliberately dragging the Qu family to deprive the Chu army of this great support. Xiang Yan should not be able to hold on for long.

They will definitely be very anxious and anxious about how to repel us."

"In that case..."

"Zhang Han led one hundred thousand troops to attack the city father."

"According to the latest news brought back by Heibingtai, Chengfu is the current granary of the Chu army in Huaibei. Xiang Yan also stored the recently delivered grain in Chengfu, and the degree of guarding is not weak."

"When we send troops to attack, Xiang Yan will definitely take action, but how to deal with it depends on my arrangements."

He added: "Xin Sheng led 30,000 troops to attack Juyang, Zhang Tang led 30,000 troops to attack Qiuqiu, Li Ji also led 30,000 troops to attack Xincai, but you don't really need to

To attack, just pretend to attack and camp under Xincai City. Don't take the initiative to fight and wait for my arrangements."

Hearing such instructions, they were stunned for a while.

Chen Ping first said: "General, after the last battle, our entire army only has about 380,000 people left, and 190,000 people have been dispersed and left. Xiang Yan still has 400,000 people here. If Xiang Yan comes to attack by surprise, the army will be destroyed."

What to do with the camp?”

Everyone else thought so and were very worried about this arrangement.

Bai Zhong continued his analysis: "When Xiang Yan learns that I have arranged for 100,000 people to attack Chengfu, he will definitely allocate part of his troops to defend the granary in Huaibei. Even if the remaining Chu army comes to attack, I can hold the camp."

Chen Ping thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still felt that the general's arrangement was a bit risky. He was about to refute when he heard Bai Zhong say again: "Tie Ying Rui, follow Zhang Han. Let's arrange this first. Tomorrow morning, you guys

Just leave."

"only!"

They had no choice but to accept orders.

Bai Zhong is confident that he will not let the camp fall.

After giving these instructions, he asked Zhang Han and others to leave.

"What's your trick?"

Ying Shu did not leave, but stayed and asked curiously.

Bai Zhong smiled and said: "The trick that can defeat Xiang Yan is actually not dangerous. If you wait, you will get the result soon."

"I trust you."

Ying Shu naturally trusted her husband, so she threw herself into his arms.

The next morning.

After Bai Zhong got up, he wrote a few notes and gave them to Zhang Han, Xin Sheng, Zhang Tang and Li Ji respectively, and determined the opening time based on their distance from the battle.

The note can only be opened when the time comes. The time to open it is different for everyone.

They were quite confused about this, but they didn't ask too many questions. The general must have some clever plan to defeat the enemy.

As soon as the Qin army mobilized its troops, they were immediately noticed by the Chu army on the other side.

After Xiang Yan received the news, he spread out a map and studied it carefully.

"The Qin army going north must be attacking Chengfu. Bai Zhong should know that our food and grass are stored in Chengfu, and he will run out of food again."

Xiang Yan analyzed and said: "The other Qin troops, I think they are leaving in the direction of attacking Juyang, Qiuqiu and Xincai respectively. Looking at their formation, there are still a lot of troops sent out. How could Bai Zhong suddenly separate?

Send so many troops?”

Jinglan said: "Since Bai Zhong has divided his troops, wouldn't the Qin camp be empty?"

If you are empty, you can sneak attack.

They still have an army of 400,000 people here. The Qin army has divided their forces, and there must not be many left.

Xiang Yan fell into deep thought: "Bai Zhong did this for no reason. There must be some reason. He must have some conspiracy."

Xiang Rong reminded: "But City Father cannot lose it!"

If all the food and grass were gone, I wouldn't be able to survive three days, let alone three months.

"Xiang Rong led one hundred thousand troops to rescue the city father. He must not let the Qin army succeed."

Xiang Yan thought for a while and realized that it would be extremely difficult to repel the Qin army within three months. He then said: "There is no need to send troops to Juyang and other places for now. They will send out scouts to monitor them. Wait until the Qin army has gone far."

, we crossed the river to test the Qin army’s situation and launched an attack first.”

"only!"

Xiang Rong, Jing Lan and others all echoed.

If Baizhong can be defeated after crossing the river, the remaining dispersed troops will be vulnerable.

Their Chu country can win again and truly bring peace.

——

In the afternoon.

"General, the Chu army has crossed the river."

Chen Ping walked back eagerly.

Bai Zhong was not surprised by this and said calmly: "Gather the entire army and prepare to fight."

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of war drums echoed in the Qin camp.

After the soldiers of the Qin army gathered together, they came to the shore and saw that the Chu army was quickly building a pontoon bridge and preparing to forcibly cross the river. In addition to the pontoon bridge, there were many ships that began to extend towards the shore.

Ying Shu asked worriedly: "What should I do?"

The Qin army did not have enough troops. If the Chu army attacked in full force, even if it could be blocked, the losses would not be small.

Bai Zhong said calmly: "Let them build the pontoon bridge smoothly, arrange the first echelon of troops, and first resist the enemies coming by boat."

The flag was quickly passed down.

The sound of the war drums seemed more passionate.

The soldiers of the first echelon came to the shore, and when the enemy came within shooting range, they immediately fired a volley of crossbow arrows and struck the enemy ships.

The shield bearers of the Chu army raised their shields to resist, while others tried their best to push the boat. If the shield bearer was unfortunately shot and killed, the people behind him would immediately take over, continue to raise their shields, and risk their lives to land on the shore.

Bai Zhong picked up his bow, asked the short soldiers beside him for a pot of arrows, and shot an arrow on an enemy's shield.

Whoosh!

The arrow penetrated the shield on the spot and killed the shield bearer behind.

The Chu soldiers who tried to take over the shield were killed by a hail of arrows before they could do anything.

"Where did your bow come from?"

There was one thing that Ying Shu had always been curious about, and she said: "When we were in Xiangjiang River, you gave me your sword, but where did you take it out from?"

She had been curious about this matter for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask today.

"This is my secret."

Of course, Bai Zhong would not tell the system. He looked at Yingshui in front and said: "The enemy's pontoon bridge is approaching the shore quickly. Second echelon, get on!"

The second command flag was quickly passed on.

The sound of the war drums was more urgent and passionate than before.

On the pontoon, the Chu army raised hundreds of shields and forcibly pushed towards the shore.

Bai Zhong picked up another arrow and shot it against a shield.
Chapter completed!
