305. Chapter 305 Winning the First Battle

When Su Qin heard this, he fully understood the situation of the Wei army in a dilemma. If he tried his best to save the defenders of Anyi City, he might lose more of the Wei army. At that time, Anyi could not be saved, and the loss of Wei would be even greater. After the battle, he would probably not even be able to guarantee the troops guarding the territory.

However, if the Qin army was allowed to attack the defenders of Anyi as hungry tigers were killed and attacked the defenders of Anyi, then the city of Anyi would not be able to defend. More than 30,000 soldiers were swallowed up by the Qin army, so how could the Wei State be faced? So many men died in Anyi, but the Wei army watched them not rescued. How could they explain to the people of the Wei State?

As Chen Xie spoke, tears rolled out from his eyes again. He cried in front of the generals, feeling inappropriate, so he hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Seeing Chen Xiao's helpless expression, Su Qin thought to himself: "This person has tried all his skills and has barely supported the current situation. If it weren't for such a dedicated prime minister who coordinated all parties in the difficulties and asked for help everywhere, I'm afraid the defenders in Anyi City would have been taken down by Qin."

Su Qin thought: "What the Wei army needs most at this time is not more reinforcements, but morale. No matter how many reinforcements there are, if the main Wei State does not work hard and cannot raise its energy, it will inevitably be defeated in the end."

The situation that Su Qin did not want to see was that the more troops other countries invested, the more they were like adding firewood into the prosperous fire, which could only encourage the Qin army to become more arrogant. The United Army led by him followed the sluggish momentum of the Wei army and fell into the situation of being driven and eroded by the lamb.

Su Qin had fought in the Qin army and had a thorough understanding of the Qin army's tenacious military strength and intimidation tactics. It was with this special advantage that they could be invincible and tore up any country's blocking troops.

If you lose your psychological initiative and feel scared when you hear the Qin army's wind, even if the number of troops in the Eastern Union clan is dominant, it will be just a meal for the Qin army, and it will be pitifully for the Qin people to enjoy.

Su Qin understood: He is now the prime minister of Zhao, Qi and Yan. With the joint efforts of Wei, the power of the small Hezong has taken shape. The Allied forces in the war will be the most critical battle. We must win completely to boost the momentum of the Wei army.

Chen Xu detailed the current emergency situation of the Wei army, and then Su Qin fell into deep thought. Zhang Yi, Ning Jun, Yan Sui and others looked at Su Qin and saw that he had been frowning slightly, and they were deeply worried about him.

When they heard what Chen Xu said, they all felt that the battle situation in Anyi was extraordinary, but they were afraid that more defeats, and eventually returned empty-handed.

Su Qin was thinking about various strategies in his mind, thinking about as many emergency measures as possible, and hesitated for a long time.

He finally decided to avoid the depressed Wei army. The first battle was mainly soldiers brought from Qi State. Although the Qi army was small in number, it was the first time to enter the battlefield in Anyi. He did not have any psychological fear of the Qin army, but instead weakened his disadvantages.

Su Qin felt that he had almost thought about it, so he began to ask everyone for advice. At this time, half an hour had passed since Chen Ying entered the account, which showed the torment he had experienced in his heart.

Su Qin finally spoke and said, "I plan to take action against the Qin army as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on the Anyi defenders. I wonder what you think."

Chen Ying was overjoyed when he heard Su Qin's idea. He was looking forward to the moon, but he just had to wait for the arrival of the new force and immediately enter the battlefield of Anyi to reduce the pressure on defending the city? Now Su Qin has taken the initiative to propose tomorrow's battle, so how could he disagree?

Chen Qiao slapped excitedly and exclaimed loudly: "Prime Minister Su has high vision, long-term plans, courage and knowledge, and is truly a hero today. Chen Qiao admires him very much. Prime Minister Su let go of the battle, and I will celebrate the great achievements of our country's king immediately, please give me a title."

Su Qin smiled indifferently again. What he thought was "celebrating the commendation" and "please give up"? The most important thing at this moment was the deployment of the first battle. He nodded at Chen Jie without hesitation, turned to look at Zhang Yi, Ning Jun and others, with a sense of inquiries in his eyes.

Ning Jun has a deep grudge with Qin because the general Wei Se, who had been with him for many years, died innocently in Qin. Moreover, he himself was from Wei, so of course he was eager to serve Wei.

Therefore, Ning Jun first asked for a fight and said, "The last general is not talented and is willing to lead three thousand troops. He will fight the Qin army for the first time tomorrow. If he cannot defeat the Qin army, he will never return to the camp."

Su Qin nodded at Ning Jun and thought to himself: "The most suitable general for the first battle against the Qin army is Ning Jun. Because he served in the Qin army for more than ten years, he is very familiar with the Qin army's formation. He knows the weaknesses of the Qin army, and has good martial arts skills, so he is 70% sure to defeat the Qin army's spirit with one as much as ten."

Yan Sui was also a tiger general. When he saw Ning Jun asking for a fight, he was not willing to fall behind and wanted to win glory for the Qi army that participated in the war for the first time. He also asked: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and work with General Ning Jun to kill the enemy."

Su Qin looked at Yan Sui and smiled happily. Yan Sui was brave and bold, which was what the Qin army needed most in the first battle and was very useful. With these two people working together, even if they could not defeat the Qin army completely, they could still strive to ensure that they were strong in the first battle.

Zhang Yi's motherland was Wei, so he was naturally willing to contribute to Wei. He echoed: "Although Yi is not talented, he is willing to fight for the battlefield and save Anyi in an urgent manner. Leave the arrangements of Senior Brother Su."

Su Qin proposed to seize the time to launch his first attack on the Qin army, which received the response from the generals. His morale suddenly rose. He knew that this was the primary condition for defeating Qin, and he was very pleased.

However, with confidence and high morale and no detailed preparation, they obviously cannot defeat the arrogant Qin army. They have not lost for many years and have repeatedly defeated opponents from various countries on the Eastern battlefield. They are in a period of great combat momentum.

Fighting without careful preparation is a taboo in military strategists. Whether it is "Taigong's Art of War" or the military books left by his senior brother Sun Bin, there are clear warnings: never fight unprepared battles. Three years ago, Su Qin and Wei Cheng led the Qin army to raid Yiqu and won a complete victory. What they rely on was the careful preparation time in advance that was unhappy.

Therefore, after Su Qin and the generals discussed, they immediately agreed that Chen Xu would quietly leave Linyun City that night and go to the two armies to reconnaise the terrain and the military information of the Qin army.

When the sun sets and the moon climbs to the treetops in the east, Su Qin and Chen Qiu change into common peasant clothes, short clothes and brown, tie their hair with cloth belts, holding a sickle commonly used by ordinary peasants in their hands, sneaking out of Linyun City, and only four close-fitting followers were followed behind him.

The group of six of them tried to pretend to be nothing and slowly walked along the ridge of the fields. From a distance, these people seemed to have just returned from labor in the fields. To be on the safe side, Su Qin hid Jun Tongjuan in his arms.

They arrived at the joint location of the two armies, stopped in a farmland, and hid behind a pile of jute straw. Su Qin saw the bonfire in the Qin army camp from afar, and observed that the Qin army camp was also built on a high ground, simply rammed it with earth to form a small besiege that was one mile square and one meter high.

Su Qin asked Chen Xu beside him, "I wonder how many Qin troops are there opposite? What's wrong with the place where they are stationed?"

Chen Xu replied: "The Qin army was stationed in a village. After the Qin army came here, they drove the people in the village to other places and requisitioned the private houses in the village to serve as camps."

Chen Xu was a government official. When he talked about the disasters that the people suffered, his tone was filled with indignation. Su Qin listened carefully, with a solemn expression and his body remained motionless.

Chen Xu then introduced: "There are about 10,000 Qin troops stationed here, and they are one of the Qin troops supporting the besieged city of Anyi. Their main task is to monitor the Wei army in Linyun City."

After hearing this, Su Qin thought to himself: "It turns out that there are only more than 10,000 people on the other side, and the Wei army in Linyun City still has 20,000 people. They have an absolute advantage in terms of number of people, but they hide in Linyun City and dare not go out to save Anyi. This shows the fear of the Qin army by the Wei people. It is so terrified."

Su Qin carefully inspected the Qin army's camp and found that their village walls were not only low, but also without sharp objects such as thorns to protect them. There were not many observation posts, and there were only about four places, distributed in four corners of the camp.

Looking at the Qin army's defense state, Su Qin secretly felt that the Qin army was too confident. They probably never thought of staying here for a long time, so they were too lazy to build the barriers of the camps seriously. They just rammed the soil in a hurry, and it looked like they were just perfunctory.

And what is most painful is that the morale of the Wei army was so sluggish that it had made the Qin people look down on it. Just imagine: If such a camp was replaced by the Wei army, then the Qin people would not have left them a chance. They would have to go to steal the camp immediately and take advantage of the unpreparedness to get rid of their opponent's nest in one fell swoop.

However, the Qin army was just under the Linyun City of 20,000 or 30,000 Wei troops, and such a simple camp was built in a grassland. Moreover, the Qin army was blatantly moving in the village, without any cover, and it was not enough to keep the Wei army's combat power in mind at all.

The meaning is very obvious: "We are so rough. If your Wei army has the courage, we will come to rob the village. We are waiting for you to come."

Su Qin sighed in his heart: What happened to the Wei army in Anyi was just a crisis of gains and losses, but a complete defeat. It was the decline of the national fortune, and the Chinese people's ambition was already at its peak.

It is a pity that Wei Wenhou was so powerful that he destroyed Zhongshan, attacked Qin in the west and went to the Luoshui River Basin in the hinterland of Guanzhong, attacked Zhao in the north and Han in the south, which was magnificent to the Central Plains and overlords of the world.

Even though Chen Xu suffered a long siege of the Qin army in Quwo three years ago, the morale of the Wei army did not fall to such a slump. Chen Xu led Quwo's ​​defenders and struggled to support them, but forced the Qin army to make no progress under the city for three months. Finally, with Su Qin's mediation and the arrangement of the Qin army's chief general Wei Seo, the siege was broken in one fell swoop. When Su Qin heard this, he fully understood the situation of the Wei army's dilemma. If he tried his best to save the defenders in Anyi City, he might lose more Wei's military strength. By then, Anyi could not be saved, and the loss of Wei State would be even greater. After the battle, he would probably not even be able to guarantee the troops to defend the territory.

However, if the Qin army was allowed to attack the defenders of Anyi as hungry tigers were killed and attacked the defenders of Anyi, then the city of Anyi would not be able to defend.
