Chapter 764 Please enter the urn
This is a face-to-face duel on the plains. There are no clever tactics. What matters is the bravery of the soldiers on both sides.
After several hours of fighting, both sides began to withdraw their troops.
On the battlefield, random arrows struck the ground, leaving corpses everywhere.
It can be seen from this that the war is so tragic.
After this war ended, judging from the loss of troops on both sides, it was a fairly even fight, with no one benefiting from it.
This is based on the fact that most of Sun Qi's troops are new troops. Although they are well-trained, they have not experienced the baptism of blood, and there is some gap between them and the tiger and wolf divisions.
However, after this war, this army will definitely become stronger and stronger.
After the battle, after the generals reported, Sun Qi also made a comprehensive analysis of the combat strength of both sides. Originally, the Wu army should be at a disadvantage in this battle, because it was related to the weather and the morale of the army, but this combat strength was in the new army.
The top is leveled.
This cannot be blamed on the soldiers, after all, they are not battle-hardened veterans.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Qi said directly: "Send an order to Guan Kui and tell him not to take the initiative to attack. His mission is to cooperate with the main force."
"Nuo!" General Yinbiao followed the order and left.
On the other side, Huangfu Ye seemed quite satisfied with today's battle, a head-on confrontation with the Qin army, and how it could be fought like this. If it continues like this? Sun Qi's troops are weaker than his own, so he can't escape with his tail between his legs.
Is he in a good mood? The generals of the Wu army were also very happy, and Xiang Mo even said: "They say that the infantry of the Qin army are tigers and wolves. I can't see it like this. Our army is extremely poorly equipped to withstand the cold? Isn't it the same?
A good fight was fought!”
"Really? If we fight for another two days, Sun Qi will definitely be defeated..." Another general agreed.
What did Huangfu Ye just want to say? At this moment, a spy ran in quickly? He knelt on one knee and said: "General, a small group of enemy troops were discovered on the right side of our army."
"Oh?" Huangfuye looked stern and asked quickly: "How far is it from here?"
"About thirty miles." The spy returned.
"Well..." Huangfu Ye habitually touched his chin and rolled his eyes. After a moment, he said: "Let's find out more about the situation and find out the approximate number of enemy troops and their generals."
"No!" The spy took the order and retreated.
After he left, all the generals also looked at Huangfu Ye. Someone said: "General? Why did a small group of troops suddenly appear on the right side of our army?"
"Presumably? This is a troop that Sun Qi sent out during the decisive battle."
"This? What does the Qin army want?"
"Judging from the current terrain, Sun Qi probably wants to prevent our army from joining forces with the Spirit Army, and also has the idea of cutting off the retreat." Someone else pointed to the sand table.
Hearing this? Xiang Mo immediately said: "Then this small group of enemy troops has become a nail. It must be removed."
Huangfu Ye thought for a while, raised his hand slightly and said: "Don't worry, Sun Qi doesn't have enough troops to launch an siege against our army. Let's first understand the situation on the right side."
Seeing that he was relatively confident, the generals also nodded slowly.
A night of silence.
The next day, the spies reported again and had a rough idea of the situation of the Qin army on the right.
Huangfu Ye asked questions one after another.
The spy replied truthfully: "The exact number of people is unclear, but judging from the location where the enemy is stationed, it should be no less than ten thousand. According to the military information and the flags of his generals, this enemy army should be the Qin General Guan Kui's troops."
"Is it him?" Huangfu Ye raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand towards the spy, signaling him to step back.
In the tent, all the generals of the Wu army were here. After listening to the conversation just now, General Youbiao couldn't help but said: "General, have you already thought of a countermeasure?"
Huangfu Ye glanced at him and said with a smile: "There is a very good saying in the art of war, which is to know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles."
"Guan Kui was born in Cao Mang. He was a senior general under the King of Qin. He followed the King of Qin in the south and north. He had many military exploits and was ranked as one of the eight brave generals of the Qin Kingdom."
"The person he respected the most in his life was King Qin Xiao Yuan. This also led to him being accustomed to learning from King Qin while under his command."
"The most common method used by the King of Qin in using troops is to refuse to retreat after defeat and cut off people's food routes."
"Just like this time, the grand strategy deployed by King Qin was to lock the Shanyu Pass and cut off the Allied supply lines."
"It's a pity that Guan Kui likes to learn from King Qin, but he only learned a few superficial things. His strategic vision is still not up to King Qin's standards."
He said so much in one breath without pointing out the key point. After listening to it, the generals were somewhat confused and couldn't help but look at each other.
Xiang Mo was impatient and was about to ask, but Huangfu Ye said again: "So, we took advantage of Guan Kui's character and deliberately exposed the location of the grain and grass camp so that Guan Kui's spies could find out, and made a decision in this camp.
He looks lazy."
"Guan Kui must have been very happy when he saw this, and then he wanted to take the opportunity to cut off our army's supplies and lead his army to attack at night."
"This is called inviting you to enter the urn."
After he finished speaking, everyone understood and couldn't help but look at each other again. Xiang Mo looked happy: "This is a wonderful strategy. If Guan Kui really dares to come, then all the more than 10,000 enemy troops will be killed."
Tell me here!"
"He will definitely come, because King Qin likes to use this trick!" Huangfu Ye said with confidence.
Wu Jun is planning to set a trap to lure Guan Kui.
That night, behind a hillside, two Qin Army spies were lying there motionless.
When I looked around, I saw torches were brightly lit in the distance. At the gate of the village, many soldiers from Wu were busy, pushing bags of things in. Perhaps accidentally, one of the sacks fell to the ground, and the mouth of the bag cracked.
The white flowers of rice are exposed.
Seeing this scene, the two Qin soldiers suddenly widened their eyes, and one of them whispered: "Grain and grass! This is the place where Wu Jun's grain and grass are stored!"
"That's right! Hurry, report back to the general!" The other person became energetic, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them left here quickly and quietly.
An hour later, Guan Kuibu.
"Report~~~~~"
The former Qin army hurried in, knelt down on one knee, and said excitedly: "General! I visited the camp tonight and found the enemy's food and grass!"
"What did you say!?" Upon hearing this, Guan Kui stood up immediately. There were other young generals in the tent who also became nervous.
The Qin army continued: "My subordinates have seen with their own eyes that the enemy's food and grass are stored there, and the surrounding defenses are not tight."
After receiving his confirmation, Guan Kui showed excitement on his face and couldn't help but hit his left palm with his right fist: "Okay, okay!"
Seeing him like this, some generals couldn't help but ask: "General, what are your plans?"
