Chapter 95 Qin Yiren vs Xiang Yan
If the army of the five countries flees, the Qin army will chase after them from behind, which will cause trouble and will be difficult to chase and kill them cleanly for a while. If they do not escape, it will be easier for the Qin army to act. As long as they are dealt with properly, they will likely wipe out the army of the five countries. Is there anything that makes Qin Yiren more happy than this?
Xiang Yan's move was a good strategy proposed to address the shortcomings of the Chu army, but it was exactly what Qin Yiren thought.
Qin Yiren wanted the army of the five countries not to escape.
At this moment, Qin Yiren went to see Wang Ling and reported the situation. Wang Ling immediately exploded like Mars fell into a powder barrel.
"What? The army of the five countries did not escape? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wang Ling's eyes were wide open, staring at Qin Yiren with disbelief on his face.
Wang Ling can't blame him. Who told Xiang Yan to break the rules this time and do the opposite?
Since Su Qin proposed the "Group" strategy, decades have passed. During these decades, the six countries have joined forces many times, and each time it is a war that is unfavorable or a battle is defeated. The army of the six countries will immediately disperse and escape, and no one cares about whom.
This time, the destruction of 200,000 Wei troops was a very heavy blow. If the army of the five countries did not escape, it would be unreasonable. It would be difficult to believe Wang Ling.
"Young Master, don't you be deceived by the scout?" Wang Ling rolled his eyes and burst into tears, saying, "Scout, come."
The scout who was inquiring about the news rushed forward.
Wang Ling yelled at them: "Listen, Qin Fa is so strict. If you dare to lie about military affairs, don't blame Qin Fa for being ruthless!"
These scouts originally thought that a military order was issued, but no one expected that Wang Ling would scold them and were all confused.
"Tell me! The army of the Five Kingdoms escaped?" Wang Ling shouted in a deep voice like spring thunder.
"Escape? The army of the five countries did not escape? What's the point?" Several scouts became even more confused.
"Didn't you inquire in depth? Are you lying about military information?" Wang Ling's face sank.
"General, the army of the five countries has not escaped."
"The army of the five countries not only did not escape, but also set up a formation of chariots and was ready to go, just waiting for us to go."
The scout finally understood that Wang Ling was questioning the authenticity of their intelligence and defying loudly.
"General, the military situation is very important, how dare we lie?"
"Qin Fa Wuqing, no one dares to lie."
Several scouts said in a verbal way.
When Wang Ling mentioned Qin Fa Wuqing, he felt a little loose and asked, "Take it serious?"
"It's true!" The scout didn't think about it, very sure.
"You said that the army of the Five Kingdoms set up a car formation, would it be a strategy? It only set up a car formation, but it had already escaped." Wang Ling said in contemplation.
"General, there are so many sounds of fighting in the military camps of the Five Kingdoms. How could there be no one?"
"Also, the Chu army is waiting for the battle behind the chariot formation. Can that be fake?"
"We saw it with our own eyes."
The scout was very depressed, but he had to patiently explain it to Wang Ling.
"This..." Wang Ling still looked in disbelief.
"General Wang, why is this difficult? This place is not far from Zhongmu. We will tell you just by rushing to see." Although Qin Yiren believed that what the scout said was true, he also wanted to see with his own eyes where the five-nation coalition sang.
"It's reasonable." Wang Ling agreed very much.
Immediately, Meng Ao and Huan Qiong came to me. When I talked about the situation, they were like Wang Ling, with disbelief on their faces. In the end, I still felt that what Qin Yiren said was reasonable and went to see it with my own eyes.
So, the crowd led a team of Qin army guards and headed straight to Zhongmu.
This place is not far from the Zhongmu Five-Nation Alliance Camp, but only takes more than ten or twenty miles away, and arrives quickly on horseback.
From a distance, you can see a huge chariot array, densely packed with chariots, forming a circular chariot array. Behind the chariot is the energetic Chu army. They set up their formations and are ready to fight back just by waiting for the Qin army to rush.
"This...isn't you really escape?"
"Why don't you run away?"
"Does they still want to fight to the death?"
Wang Ling, Meng Ao and Huan Qiong were surprised.
They fought a lifelong battle with the six Shandong countries. The first time they encountered such a thing, they could not help but be surprised.
Qin Yiren opened his eyes wide and looked around for a while, and was surprised: "This must be from Xiang Yan's hands! Xiang Yan is proficient in military paths, and the formation is arranged very well, like an iron barrel, not bad! Not bad!"
Xiang Yan was the only general who defeated the Qin army in the war of Qin Shihuang's destruction. It was not fortunate, but for him having extraordinary military talent. Of course, Li Xin's underestimation of the enemy was also an important reason for the defeat. Later, under the leadership of Wang Jian, the Qin army made a comeback, and Xiang Yan was no longer an opponent and was defeated by Wang Jian.
"You shouldn't be so surprised." Qin Yiren saw the surprise look of Wang Ling and the other two, which was very funny, and said, "Xiang Yan is a proficient in military affairs. His handling of this is the most appropriate plan."
"Yes." After all, Wang Ling and the other two were the long-standing generals who had been in the battle formation for a long time. Although they were surprised, they quickly calmed down. They focused on each other and said, "This Xiang Yan is a figure! The car formation is arranged very well, very good."
"Although the Chu army is large in the army of the five countries, it is because there are too many chariots and slow movements. If you want to escape, you will be caught up by us no matter what." Meng Ao pondered: "If we are caught up with us, the Chu army will face the battle hastily and suffer heavy casualties. If you don't, the entire army will be destroyed."
If the Chu army escaped when they heard the news, and at the speed of the Chu army, they would not be able to escape no matter what, they would definitely be caught by the Qin army. Once they were caught by the Qin army, they would be better if they were severely injured, and the entire army would be destroyed.
"Instead of being annihilated by us while running away, it is better not to escape. Take advantage of the advantages of the chariot, set up a car formation, and fight us to the death. Maybe there is still a glimmer of life." Huan Qi took over the conversation and smiled: "This Xiang Yan is a character! However, being an enemy of the Qin Dynasty means he cannot succeed!"
After a while of discussion, they began to discuss the way to break the enemy.
"Xiang Yan set up a car formation and waited for us to attack. The Chu army used the advantages of the car formation to fight the Qin army, which would be very cheap. I mean, we cannot attack hard, we must slowly." Wang Ling frowned, like a sharp sword unsheathed, and said: "Characters are mostly made of mulberry trees and zhe trees. Although they have been fire-proofed, they still cannot be fire-proof. We will temporarily delay the attack and wait for the arrival of fierce turkey oil. As long as the fierce turkey oil arrives, we will burn the tank."
The 10% chariot formation is like a temporary fortress. If the Qin army attacks for a strong attack, even if the Qin army is good at fighting, it will have to pay a considerable price, which is not cost-effective.
If the Qin army paid too much, it would put the Qin army in an unfavorable position. The five-nation coalition forces took advantage of the situation and it would be difficult for the Qin army to resist, and perhaps they would be defeated.
It is indeed necessary to slow down the attack.
The Qin army set out from Tunliu and rushed to the Wei army, which was light and simple. The large equipment was too bulky and did not bring it. Without these equipment, it was too difficult to deal with the vehicle array.
Among these devices, fierce tinder oil is the most useful. Ftinder oil is oil. Wherever it flows and burns, the Chu army's chariot will definitely be burned out.
The chariots in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were made of mulberry wood and mulberry wood. Although they were fire-proof, they could not withstand the burning of oil. As soon as the Qin army's fierce turbulent oil arrived, a passage would be boiled, and the Qin army could enter and hit the lair of the five countries.
Wang Ling is worthy of being a former general, and soon thought of the way to defeat him.
"As long as the turbulent oil is in hand, what can the chariot be calculated? Xiang Yan miscalculated!" Huan's voice was like a loud bell, and he was very happy.
Fierce turbulent oil is indeed a good way to deal with the chariots, and Huan Qi is not happy.
"No, Xiang Yan did not miscalculate." Meng Ao frowned, pondered for a while, and spoke slowly, saying, "Xiang Yan can use only a few thousand Jiangdong soldiers to wipe out Zhuang Ji. There must be something extraordinary, and he would not have thought of this. He did this to make us boil a gap and attack the nest of the Five-Nation Alliance."
"What does this mean?" Huan Qi couldn't figure it out.
If the Qin army burned the car and rushed into the lair of the Five-Nation Alliance, could the Five-Nation Alliance still make a difference? It was already a dead end.
"What General Meng said is very reasonable." Huang Shigong and Wei Liao agreed in unison.
"Yes." Wang Ling also figured it out and explained to Huan Qi, saying, "Look at the chariot formation, all of which were guarded by the Chu army. Look at it, the Chu army is good at fighting chariots, and they have no problem defending. However, after thinking about it carefully, we realized that Xiang Yan's move was evil and he wanted to attack us into the lair of the five-nation coalition forces. Think about it, if we really attacked, the troops of Han, Zhao, Yan, and Qi would be frightened and wanted to escape. The outside was defending the Chu army, and the Chu army would not let them escape. They had no choice but to turn around and fight with us. It is said that trapped beasts are still fighting, and the troops of the four countries would fight to survive, and in order to survive, we would definitely fight bloody battles. In this battle, our casualties will surely be huge."
Huan Qi suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Yan's intentions are really vicious."
It is true. With Xiang Yan's shrewdness, he would not have known that the Qin army had strong tinder oil to burn the car formation. The reason why he arranged this way was to survive in danger and survive in death, put the troops of Han, Zhao, Yan and Qi to death, and let them fight against the Qin army to survive. Only in this way can the combat power of the four countries be maximized and the Qin army can be given the greatest blow.
"Besides, the five-nation coalition forces still have the advantage of military strength. Once they fight to the death, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." Qin Yiren emphasized the point and agreed with this.
This time, the six countries dispatched a total of 850,000 troops. The Qin army annihilated 200,000 Wei troops and 650,000 troops, which was 250,000 more than the Qin army.
Wang Ling attacked the Qin army led by Handan for 200,000. Later, King Zhao of Qin agreed with Qin Yiren's plan and successively increased 200,000 troops, with a total of 400,000 troops in the Qin army.
Using 400,000 to deal with 650,000 outlaws is very, very unfavorable to the Qin army.
"This is not difficult. We will 'surround three ques and one', leaving a way out to escape from the camp, and we will chase them again." Huan Qi was also a long-time general. Although he was good at charging, he was also smart and tricky.
"That's all." Wang Ling, Meng Ao, Huang Shigong and Wei Liaoda agreed with this plan.
This is definitely a good way to resolve Xiang Yan's plan, but Qin Yiren said: "Although General Huan said good, it is not the best plan."
"Oh. Young Master, do you have a good plan?" Wang Ling, Meng Ao, Huan Qi, Huang Shi Gong and Wei Liao's eyes were all focused on Qin Yiren, and they were very eager.
"Xiang Yan, let's fight hard!" Qin Yiren did not answer them, but said in a deep voice. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, and faster!)
