Chapter 166 Next Step
It is trapped in Fushan, at one hour of Hai.
The moonlight is gentle and bright, shining on the dim night sky. All the soldiers have gathered and are quietly waiting for the order. The air is filled with a solemn atmosphere, just like the tranquility a moment before the storm comes.
A Yue soldier was wearing the armor of the Qin army and respectfully knelt in front of Luo Qi.
Roqi wore soft armor and smiled: "If Ningchuan is attacked, he will definitely send a messenger to ask the other two cities for help in batches. I want you to rush ahead to them and ask Jingxiang to send troops in the name of Ningchuan. Whether they send reinforcements or not, I will remember your contribution."
The Yue soldier immediately bowed and took the order and stepped down to execute the order.
Seeing that the soldier had left, Ling Gu asked quickly: "Can you tell the generals that what is the purpose of such an arrangement?"
Luo Qi said: "Jing Xiang is personally stationed by Li Xin, and he is a general like him, and he will definitely be cautious in his actions. The soldiers we sent will definitely not hide it from him, and will only be easily exposed. At that time, he will definitely think that the soldier brought with him fake news. The so-called attack on Ningchuan is just a strategy for us to call out Jingxiang's guardians..."
Ling Gu's eyes lit up and she suddenly said: "At this time, Li Xin would definitely think that our target is his Jing Xiang, and would only choose to hold on to the army without moving to guard against our attack. Even if Ningchuan really ordered the soldiers to go to ask for help, they would be mistaken for our army's detailed work. In this way, the pressure on our soldiers who were feinting attacking Ningchuan suddenly disappeared!"
Luo Qi smiled slightly and looked at Han Yue standing behind him: "Now you should already know why I asked you to get those two sets of Qin soldiers' armor?"
Han Yue was still wearing a blue robe and a long sword. She turned her face and said indifferently: "I am ignorant. Please forgive me. But we have not escaped danger yet. Your Highness should not be too optimistic. You must know that our real opponent is the two thousand iron cavalry in Jiaxiang City. Whether we can eat them is the key to the decisive victory in this battle. Otherwise, even if we break through successfully, it will be difficult for us to get rid of their entanglement in the end."
Roqi stood with his hands behind his back, confident: "It is only the first step of my plan to deceive Li Xin into keeping his troops. As for the two thousand cavalry, I will prepare in Ping'anlin outside Jiaxiang City and arrange a grand... funeral for them!"
Han Yue looked at him, thinking.
====================================================
Outside Ningchuan City, the third hour of Hai.
Shi Mai held his waist knife and shouted: "Beat the drum as a trumpet, and the siege begins!"
The Vietnamese army immediately began to charge, pushing the simple rushing car to the city gate. As the distance gradually advances, the fierce offensive and defensive battle quickly kicks off.
Although it is just a feint attack, the intensity of the attack must be guaranteed. Only by making the defenders believe that they are the real main force can the smooth progress of this plan be ensured. The troops gathered here are half of the entire Vietnamese army, which is enough to persist in a long-term fierce attack. Shi Mai knew very well that his army could be said to be a desperate bet tonight, and if they fail, they will be successful!
In Jingxiang City, the temporary general's mansion.
Li Xin held the teacup and said lightly: "What do you think about the incident just now?"
The deputy general had a conclusion and quickly said: "The man who just made a detailed attempt to seek help in the name of Ningchuan, but he didn't even know the name of Ningchuan's garrison. What he said was that Ningchuan's attack must be just a plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. The purpose was to lead our guards and then attack Jingxiang in surprise. Our army would better keep the troops still and wait and see the changes!"
Li Xin put down the teacup and said, "It is only the worst way to keep the troops in motion. We can just use our plan and send half of the troops to come out of the city to rescue Ningchuan, and then return halfway. As long as the Vietnamese army thinks that they have the plan, they will definitely come out in full swing. Then we can attack them from the front and back and destroy them at the Jingxiang City."
The deputy general's eyes lit up and he said in admiration: "General wise!"
Li Xin didn't say anything, and there was a faint premonition of anxiety deep in his heart. He carefully sorted out his thoughts and confirmed that there were no omissions. He couldn't help but shake his head and secretly thought that he was too cautious. After these days of competition, he had figured out the level of the generals of the Vietnamese soldiers. Although there were some talents among them, they did not have the ability to fight back.
Sinking in the Fushan Mountains, there is silence.
A probe horse rushed over from a distance, and the commander immediately turned over and knelt halfway, saying loudly: "General Shimai had a small life to come and report to His Highness that our army is attacking the enemy city. Due to the extremely fierce war, Ningchuan has sent a commander to ask for help from the other two cities!"
Roqi nodded gently and smiled and said, "Shimai is doing well, let him continue to persevere. Go back and tell him that as long as the plan goes smoothly, I will definitely worship him as the general when the merits are rewarded."
The messenger immediately took the order and turned over and left.
Roqi stood up and said, "The whole army set out to rush to Ping'an Forest. Now is the time to let Li Xin see...my next step!"
Generals such as Ling Gufu quickly took the order, and their movements were respectful and neat.
Han Yue stood behind Roqi, silently watching his unfamiliar back. Her expression was still firm and cold, just like the snow that had not melted for thousands of years. But at this moment, she already understood that the young man in front of her was no longer the once stubborn and incompetent prince.
Han Yue gradually felt the existence of hope, maybe Yue Guo really has a tomorrow!
====================================================
In Jiaxiang City, in the Military Conference Hall.
Meng Wu wore heavy armor and said, "I just received an urgent report from our army that the Vietnamese soldiers were attacking Ningchuan. It seems that they were as General Li expected, and they could not help but want to have a last fight. Baili led two thousand cavalry to lead the way. I personally led the heavy troops to follow up, and then I must wipe out the Vietnamese soldiers at Ningchuan and succeed in one battle!"
Baili Shi hurriedly stepped out and said proudly: "The last general will take the order!"
Meng Wu handed the token to Bailishi and reminded: "The Ling Gufu in the enemy is a long-time general on the battlefield. This time the attack on Ningchuan may not be as simple as it seems. Although the messenger who came to report the news was not fake, we still have to be in case. You must not underestimate the enemy to advance rashly, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy by chance, especially Ping'anlin outside the city. You must be more careful!"
Baili Shi smiled confidently and said loudly: "I will understand!"
The Jiaxiang City Gate opened after a moment, and the two thousand iron cavalry who were ready to go immediately galloped out. The sound of horse hooves hit the ground, like a shaking dull drum beat. All the cavalry were fully dressed, holding sharp spears in their hands. They were all majestic, obviously all of them were elites who had experienced many battles.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at Ping'an Forest. Baili waved his hand and the troops immediately stopped moving forward, with uniform movements. He looked up at the forest in front of him, and saw thick branches intertwined and lush leaves covered tightly. It was indeed a good place to lie in ambush.
