Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1611 The Battle Begins

Chapter 1609: The Decisive Battle Begins

Zhou Yafu is undoubtedly a wise and brave commander.

At the beginning, although Zhou Yafu was not aware of Li Jing's intentions, this was the result of a blind spot based on intelligence.

As the direction of the army's march became more and more deviated from the main line, Zhou Yafu gradually realized that something was wrong.

"The whole army obeys the order and stops the pursuit." Zhou Yafu reined in his horse suddenly and shouted.

"Call..."

All the generals reined in their horses one after another, and looked at Zhou Yafu suspiciously, only to see that his face was cloudy and uncertain.

"It's a trick. Ran Min wants to transfer us away. If we continue to chase, even if we wipe out the cavalry of the Qin army, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the main force of the Qin army." Zhou Yafu said solemnly.

"We can ignore the cavalry of the Qin army and go after Li Jing's main force of the Qin army." Gongsun Shujin said.

Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Our army can ignore this cavalry, but they will not ignore us. Even if they catch up with Li Jing, I am afraid that they will fall into a situation of two sides attacking instead."

"What should I do?"

Xia Luqi frowned and said, he came to help Bei Han to make meritorious service, but he failed to fight Bei Han in the First World War but suffered repeated setbacks, and now he is caught in a dilemma again, this is too incompetent.

Hearing this, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a while, a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder.

Zhou Yafu took out the letter with no expression on his face. After seeing the content, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Jintai is not in Li Jing's army. Li Jing sent Jintai to lead two thousand cavalry back to Beihai in advance."

Zhu Tianpeng naturally released this carrier pigeon, and his information was too timely for Bei Han.

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and Ju Wuba asked suspiciously: "The Qin army has only five thousand cavalry in total, and two thousand of them have already been brought back to Beihai by Jintai. Where did Ran Min get the five thousand cavalry?"

"Suspicious tactics."

Sha Juanlian frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What we are chasing is not five thousand Qin troops, but three thousand. Ran Min tricked us by tricking us."

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed one after another, and everyone was furious.

If he had known that Qin Qi only had three thousand troops, Zhou Yafu would never have divided his forces into two groups before, because he could already be crushed by strength, and there was no need to implement any strategy at all, but it is not too late to know now, Zhou Yafu already has the will to win in his heart It's a strategy.

"From now on, the troops will be divided into two groups again."

A gleam flashed in Zhou Yafu's eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Gongsun Shu, you lead three thousand cavalry to contain Ran Min, and this general leads the rest of the cavalry, pretending to turn back and chase Li Jing.

Ran Min wanted to lure our army away to ensure the safety of the main force, but if he learned that our army ignored him and instead focused on chasing Li Jing, he would be shocked.

With you in control, General Gongsun Shu, Ran Min couldn't turn back easily, and if he knew that you only had three thousand cavalry, with Ran Min's arrogance, he would definitely fight you and defeat your cavalry before continuing Go to contain my department.

In fact, before the decisive battle is launched, the general will lead the army back again, and then the two armies will join forces to wipe out Ran Min. "

"Good plan." All the generals praised one after another.

"Tantaiyu, Juwuba, Shajuanlian, the three of you will act together with Gongsun Shu, and General Xia Luqi will stay by my side as the trump card."

"promise."

On the other side, when Ran Min's troops, who were fleeing to the southwest, suddenly found that Zhou Yafu behind him had stopped and did not continue to pursue him, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

"It should be aware of our army's intentions."

Ran Min sighed, and secretly thought it was a pity in his heart, if it was later, even if Zhou Yafu saw it through, he would still be sure to hold it back.

The generals also thought it was a pity in their hearts. After all, if the strategy is seen through, the next loss may be huge.

"Report... General Qi, Zhou Yafu has divided his troops again. Zhou Yafu asked Gongsun Shu to lead [-] riders to stay, and the other [-] cavalry were led by Zhou Yafu to the direction of Beihai."

"what?"

Everyone, including Ran Min, showed shock.

It was nothing to stop the pursuit, but the troops were divided into two groups again, and [-] cavalry were left behind, which is a bit intriguing.

This shows that Zhou Yafu not only noticed Qin Jun's intentions, but also saw through Qin Jun's falsehood.

"There is no other way, the only way to save the situation is to defeat the three thousand cavalry first."

Ran Min's eyes were full of seriousness, but then he sneered and said, "However, Zhou Yafu is really conceited. Do you think that leaving three thousand cavalry can contain our army?"

"But General Ran Min, this may also be Zhou Yafu's strategy to force our army to fight a decisive battle. Launching a decisive battle so easily runs counter to the strategy formulated by the prefect."

After hesitating for a while, Tai Shici still said: "The general thinks that we should follow the prefect's plan."

After pondering for a long time, Ran Min waved his hands and said, "Wars are all about being adaptable. After all, how could everything be expected? The situation we are facing now has greatly exceeded the prefect's expectations. Words are out of date."

"This...but..."

Tai Shici wanted to persuade him again, but Ran Min said: "The general will not accept the military order abroad. If the prefect is here, maybe he has other ways, but he is not here now, we have to rely on ourselves."

Tai Shici was speechless when he heard that, they really depended too much on Li Jing, everything was well planned when Li Jing was around, they only had to obey Li Jing's orders to reap the credit, now that Li Jing is not around, they don't seem to care Will think about the same.

The rest of the generals also agreed with Ran Min's plan. After all, the current situation has indeed exceeded Li Jing's estimate. If the original plan is implemented, if the enemy does not take the bait, there will be no hope at all.

Seeing that most of them agreed, Ran Min immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, the whole army obeys the order and prepares for a decisive battle."

"promise."

Following Ran Min's order, the Three Thousand Tigers and Ben Battalion turned around, facing the Northern Han army who had just chased them down.

"Qin Jun came, and Ran Min was really fooled."

A flash of excitement flashed in Gongsun Shu's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Send a message to General Zhou Yafu, everyone, let's go meet Ran Min."

"I've wanted to meet Ran Min for a long time. Not long ago, I wounded Yu Wencheng in Jizhou. Let's see if Ran Min is worthy of his ranking this time." Tantaiyu said with a smile.

Qin Jun's three thousand tiger and ben cavalry, and Liao's three thousand Liaodong cavalry marched at full speed in one direction, and soon met on a plain.

Neither of the two sides initiated a decisive battle immediately, but stopped tacitly, and both chose to observe each other.
