Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 251 Race against time! ! !

Baifeng didn't rest all day and all night, and when he returned from Huaicheng to Xiangcheng, he was exhausted.

He did not complete the task Wei Zhuang entrusted to him, so he told the truth.

In this way, their previous careful deployment was completely abolished.

And Ying Yuan's side, two days later, is also making a detailed strategic plan.

In the huge military tent, Meng Tian and others have already lined up on both sides, waiting for his orders at any time.

Ying Yuan, on the other hand, has been staring at the map, and doesn't seem to be in a hurry to give orders.

After a long time, Li Tong couldn't bear it any longer, and asked in a low voice: "Master Hou, I wonder if this Yan Dan will be fooled and delay the march towards us?"

Ying Yuan turned around, looked at him, and said slowly: "Actually, this Marquis is also considering this point, but our current state is that we have no choice but to take action. If we hesitate again and again, the deployment we made before Isn't it a waste of effort?"

"However, if the Yan army still insists on attacking our army and understands our army's purpose of making their offensive plan public, it will be enough to make our army fall into a passive position."

Li Tong said in a deep voice.

He is an extremely calm person, which is also caused by insufficient military talent.

Therefore, every time he fights a battle, he will think again and again, and only after he has fully considered the pros and cons, will he carry out the battle plan.

But in this way, he also missed a lot of good opportunities.

"The battle is imminent, so there is no need to think too much. You are all contemporary famous generals with rich battlefield experience, and you should know a word called adapting to the situation.

Without affecting the grand macro strategy we have set before, you have to consider whether to temporarily change the small battle plan based on factors such as the right time and place. "

Ying Yuan's greatest ability is the ability to know people and make good use of them, and it is also the kind of unconditional trust.

All the officers and men immediately stood ready.

Ying Yuan asked again: "Now, what questions do you have?
We still have two hours to solve these problems first. Otherwise, when the battle starts, you will be fighting on your own. At that time, success or failure will depend on your performance on the spot. "

What he said was mainly to make the atmosphere more serious, so that these generals in front of him should not rely on their own strength to be arrogant and indulgent at will. After all, he understood the truth that arrogant soldiers must be defeated many years ago.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, all the soldiers began to discuss.

Until the end, Meng Tian bowed his head and said: "Please give the order, Lord Hou, I have no problem waiting, I just need to go to battle and kill the enemy!"

Sometimes Ying Yuan really likes the arrogance of Meng Tian.

He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Meng Tian listens to the order. This commander ordered you to lead 5 troops to face the main force attacking Weizhuang."

"The last general takes orders!"

Meng Tian took two steps forward and bowed solemnly.

Ying Yuan's eyes fell on Li Tong, and he ordered: "You lead 3 troops and raid the Weizhuang tribe from the left. After your surprise attack, use the name of Wolf Smoke, and then the Mengtian tribe will attack the enemy's camp. error."

"The last will obey!"

"Yang Xiong, your qualifications are still low, and you are still young. Logically speaking, the Marquis should not let you lead the army in this battle, but I heard that you were taught by your uncle Yang Duanhe since you were young, and you are proficient in the art of war and formation." .

This Marquis will give you a chance today, ordering you to lead 2 troops to harass the enemy army from the right side, and create an opportunity for Li Tong to surprise the enemy army. "

Ying Yuan looked at a young general and said solemnly.

This young general, named Yang Xiong, is Yang Duanhe's nephew.

Qin's military is like this. It is basically hereditary. In ten years, there are not many soldiers who emerge as generals because of their meritorious service.

And this Yang Xiong, in later generations, was hailed as a Qin general who was as famous as Zhang Han.

"Historical Records Huainan Hengshan Biography" records: "The great generals are not special Zhang Han and Yang Xiong."

"Please don't worry, Lord Hou, if you can't complete this task, you will be willing to come and see me at the end!"

Yang Xiong knew very well in his heart that the other party could give him such a chance because of his uncle's face.

Therefore, he will be more confident and not do things that would embarrass his uncle.

Ying Yuan smiled and said, "I am very happy that you have such determination. Remember to act prudently and carefully."

After a pause, his face became serious, he looked around at the generals, and said: "Everyone, this battle is no small matter, whether we can completely defeat the main force of the Korean army depends on this opportunity.

Please be sure to complete this operation smoothly, give Benhou a hard fight, and show the momentum of my Qin army! "

After finishing speaking, all the soldiers bowed in unison, "No!"

The momentum was earth-shattering.

After the generals left, Ying Yuan still stayed in the main tent. He didn't intend to go to rest, but stayed here all the time, waiting for news from all sides.

In fact, whenever a decisive battle begins, the most difficult thing is not the soldiers on the front line, but Ying Yuan.

His nerves are always tense, and he never relaxes for a moment.

Until the early morning of the next day, Ying Yuan still hadn't gone to rest.

At the end of the season, I couldn't stand it anymore, and said worriedly: "Master Hou, your body is important, so let's sleep for a while."

Ying Yuan shook his head. He had been staring at the map. After seeing Ji Mo approaching, he asked, "What's the news? Many of Yang Xiong's 2 people are cavalry. He It should be the fastest to arrive near Xiangcheng, right?"

In order to prevent himself from being besieged and wiped out by Ying Yuan, Wei Zhuang did not put all his troops in the city, but gathered the main force in front of the city. It's better than fighting in an isolated city.

"Back to Lord Hou, there is no news yet. According to the progress of their march, it is estimated that it will take at least a few hours."

The end of the quarter responded softly.

Ying Yuan nodded, "I'll just squint here for a while. If there is any war, no matter how good or bad it is, report it to me in time."

"No!" Ji Mo bowed.

Afterwards, he stayed in the tent and did not allow anyone to disturb him, unless there was any news about the battle ahead.

In the Yan army camp.

Someone reported to Yan Dan that a large number of Qin troops marched towards the place where Wei Zhuang was located.

"Is this accurate?"

Yan Dan was taken aback.

The scout said: "The humble official dares to use the head of the item as a guarantee!"

"My lord, we can't wait anymore, we should take the initiative to attack while Ying Yuan is empty at the moment!"

"Yes, son, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wouldn't it be nice for us to benefit from his fight with Wei Zhuang?"

"."

Hearing the voices of the officers and men, Yan Dan shook his head resolutely, and said: "The relationship between us and Wei Zhuang at the moment is one of prosperity for all, and loss for all.

Ying Yuan dared to expose the target so nakedly, he must have nothing to fear.If we march into Xingqiu now, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

Pass down the order to allocate 5 horses, no, 7!Mobilize [-] people and rush to help Weizhuang! "

He made an extremely smart choice.

Because he knew very well that if Xingqiu could not be captured in a very short period of time, then those remnants and defeated generals in Weizhuang would have been wiped out by the extremely elite soldiers of the Qin army long ago.

As long as Wei Zhuang's entire army is wiped out, then Yan Dan knows without thinking that Qin Jun's next target will be himself.

Therefore, it is not a wise choice to attack Xingqiu, it is reasonable to go to rescue Weizhuang.

As long as his army arrives, the Qin army will definitely not dare to fight to the death, and can only choose to retreat. At that time, the siege of Xiangcheng will be resolved.

After Ying Yuan heard the news, Meng Tian and other soldiers had already started fighting with Wei Zhuang's army.

"Master Hou, are we going to intercept Yandan? After all, once his army arrives in Xiangcheng, I'm afraid it will be of no benefit to our army, and it may even cause a complete rout."

At the end of the season, he said as if he was facing an enemy.

However, Ying Yuan's expression was very calm, and he said slowly: "It's too late, our plan has to change."

The Yan army has been marching for about half a day, and it is estimated that the distance is from Xiangcheng. I am afraid that it will not take much time. If we send troops to intercept at this time, I am afraid that nothing can be intercepted.

After a pause, he instructed the scouts: "You should change horses halfway without changing people as quickly as possible, and tell General Meng Tian that you should change the main attack to a feint attack, not seeking great momentum, only seeking small momentum.

To create an impression on Wei Zhuang, the troops we went to attack Xiangcheng were not our main force. "

"Master Hou, why is this?" Ji Mo didn't understand for a while.

But it was too late for Ying Yuan to explain to him. After all, everyone is racing against time and there is no room for delay.

"As for why, I will explain to you later.

You personally lead 1 people to launch a fierce attack on the remnants of Yandan, but you must advance and retreat with certainty, and remember not to be entangled by the enemy. After the matter is completed, the Marquis will personally send troops to meet you. "

Hearing the order, Ji Mo did not hesitate at all, and immediately proceeded to do it.

Ying Yuan looked at him and the scouts leaving the big tent, frowned and murmured, "Now it's up to you to see if you can liven up this game of chess. If you do, the Han army will have no power to fight."
