Chapter 251: Decisive Battle
Qin camp.
Baizhong has done nothing but training his troops recently.
He ignored Xiang Yan outside and allowed the other party to approach or use any means to test him, as if he couldn't see it.
"General, Xiang Yan is approaching five miles again."
Chen Ping walked into the main tent and said.
Xiang Yan is eager to push back the Qin army and defeat Baizhong within three months. Once this time is exceeded, they will no longer be able to hold on and will be severely defeated.
After confirming that the Qin army had no other ambush, Xiang Yan wanted to keep approaching, test Baizhong's strength, and find an opportunity to attack the Qin army's camp.
The Chu army has more than 200,000 people, but the Qin army here does not even have 200,000 people, only more than 180,000 people. Xiang Yan thinks that he can fight like this, and as long as he plans well, he can still win.
So he was a little anxious and led his troops to approach the Qin camp again. Firstly, he could create pressure on Bai Zhong, and secondly, he could better understand the current strength of the Qin army.
Bai Zhong said: "Don't worry about it, just be vigilant."
He couldn't even feel the pressure from the Chu army at all.
Chen Ping was still worried, fearing that the general's plan would fail.
In the military camp, apart from training, there is rest, just like the calm before the storm.
"Teacher, is it really okay?"
Fusu asked worriedly.
Bai Zhong said confidently: "It's really no problem. After this battle, Xiang Yan will probably die."
As the pillar of Chu State, if Xiang Yan dies, Chu State will no longer be able to fight.
Time passed slowly and soon came the next day.
"Teacher, the Chu army is approaching again, only five or six miles away from us!"
Fusu walked back from the camp gate worriedly.
Bai Zhong still said calmly: "As we get closer and closer, it seems that Xiang Yan is getting more anxious."
Fusu asked: "Should we do something?"
At this point, we need to do something to continue to confuse Xiang Yan. Bai Zhong thought for a while and said: "The whole army is on alert and mobilized. Let Xiang Yan see that we are a little nervous now, but we refuse to retreat.
There will probably be a fight early tomorrow morning."
"good!"
Fusu had already tried to learn how to handle military affairs, so he was asked to convey this order.
Chu camp.
"Ah Weng, the Qin army is on alert."
Xiang Liang looked in the direction of the Qin army's camp.
Xiang Yan asked: "Have there been any changes in other Qin troops?"
"Not at all!"
Xiang Liang shook his head and said: "Zhang Han had a fight with his eldest brother, and then returned outside the city father to prepare to attack the city, but the fight did not start. The Qin army in Juyang and other places outside the city were also thinking of ways to attack the city. There was nothing strange.
.”
Jinglan added: "We have sent people to check the area near Qinying and on the east bank of Yingshui River again and again. We can't see any problems, nor ambushes or traps."
In other words, they can directly attack the Qin camp.
Everything that is happening now seems to be inducing Xiang Yan to formally attack the Qin camp with all his troops. As long as Bai Zhong is defeated, the Qin army will definitely retreat, and the crisis in their Chu country will be relieved, and a true peace will be established.
.
Chu State can only rely on itself, and there is no way to unite with Qi State. According to the latest news obtained by Xiang Yan, the Qi Army is in the north and is beaten to the ground by Yang Duanhe's Qin Army.
Three months passed quickly, and there was no need to delay it any longer.
"Send troops tomorrow and destroy the Qin camp."
Xiang Yan finally said.
Xiang Liang and Jing Lan immediately went to make arrangements. They had been thinking about it for a long time and finally they could go to war.
Early next morning.
The Chu army was assembled and launched a full-scale attack to attack the Qin army. Because this was the final decisive battle, the Chu army was fully prepared and the Chu army was in high spirits.
"Fight!"
Bai Zhong saw it and said calmly.
He wasn't panicked at all.
——
Li Ji, who was in Xincai, saw that the time was almost up and opened the note given to him by Bai Zhong.
"Back to the rescue!"
There were only two words on the note, and he immediately understood it and said: "Retreat, go back to the camp, quickly!"
The Qin army outside Xincai didn't even want tents. They brought enough food and hurriedly fought back. The guards of Xincai were stunned.
Not only did the Qin army in Xincai, Juyang, Qiuqiu and other places also do the same thing, they also quickly retreated.
The last person to open the note was Zhang Han.
They also saw two words - support!
"When the time comes, go back immediately!"
Zhang Han said loudly.
They are not very far from the Qin army's camp.
The timing arranged by Bai Zhong was also very subtle. He calculated exactly when Xiang Yan would take action. Therefore, Zhang Han and others basically opened the note a day or half a day before Xiang Yan took action.
Taking advantage of the time difference and information difference, they were able to rush back and outflank the Chu army outside the Qin camp.
Hearing that they could go back, Gengwu and the others didn't even want to camp. They packed up their weapons and food and ran back. The guards on Chengfu were also stunned.
Gengwu led the cavalry in front, and Zhang Han led the infantry behind. They had just walked not far when a row of sharp arrows came from the front.
"withstand!"
He swung his sword to deflect the sharp arrows that came close to him.
The other cavalrymen reluctantly blocked it.
"stop!"
Zhang Han shouted.
After the army stopped, they immediately became alert and looked around vigilantly.
The Chu army's chariot appeared at this time, and the sound of its wheels rolling over the road came from all around.
Xiang Rong stood on a chariot and galloped forward with the army. He sighed in his heart that his father's guess was correct. The 100,000 people here will definitely go back to rescue Bai Zhong when the time comes.
His mission is to eliminate these 100,000 people.
"kill!"
Xiang Rong shouted angrily.
The speed of the chariot was getting faster and faster, and it was galloping forward. However, it soon became tragic, because the section of the road where they ambush was exactly where Zhang Han and others dug a hole.
This location was chosen by Zhang Han and Gengwu after a long period of research. The nearby environment was very suitable for an ambush, and Xiang Rong indeed chose to ambush here.
The next moment.
Bang!
The chariot in the front row crashed into the pit trap, and both the horses and the chariot were trapped.
The chariot behind could not stop its speed and kept bumping forward one after another.
"not good!"
Xiang Rong was shocked. He didn't expect the Qin army to be prepared for this. He quickly jumped outside. Just as he stabilized his body, he saw that the chariot he was riding in had fallen into a pit.
"Kill!"
Zhang Han ordered.
The crossbowmen drew their bows and shot at the Chu troops around them, including those in the pit.
The iron eagle warriors and cavalrymen lifted up their reins with force and charged into the Chu army.
After experiencing this astonishing change, the soldiers of the Chu army were unable to react to what had happened. They saw the Qin army charging towards them and had to resist in a hurry.
"You are seeking death!"
Xiang Rong was so angry that his eyes were red. When he saw that the chariot was destroyed instantly and thousands of people were killed on the spot, he crossed the pits and led the remaining soldiers to kill Zhang Han desperately.
Zhang Han's sword shook and blocked Xiang Rong's sword.
"I'll kill you first today!"
Xiang Rong has a rather impulsive personality, and without Xiang Yan around to calm him down, when he encountered this kind of failure, he became so angry that he ignored his own troops and only wanted to kill Zhang Han, the Qin general.
