A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 227
Xiapi, Huai army camp.

When Xu Jian heard that the reinforcements had arrived, he was also relieved.After all, he was under a lot of pressure. Qi Guo ordered Zou Ji to lead an army of 25 to come this time, and he couldn't resist it.

Now that he has reinforcements, he is more confident that he will continue to spend with Qi.

It's just that when he saw the main general of the reinforcements this time, he was a little dumbfounded. Why did a teenage doll come here?
"Xu Jian." Zai Otsuka shouted.

"Master Otsuka, why are you here!" Xu Jian quickly stepped forward to support the old man.

"The conditions on this battlefield are difficult, how could your majesty order you to come here?"

"Let's not talk about that for now." Otsuka Prime Minister waved his hand, then pointed at Sun Bin and said, "This is Sun Bin, the military advisor appointed by your majesty."

"Military division?" Xu Jian was stunned, and then quickly reacted, pointing to Sun Bin and said, "Is he 15 years old this year? Let him command the battle?"

Xu Jian had an unbelievable look on his face, and he almost wanted to ask if your lord was confused.

Otsuka Zai said indifferently: "Your Majesty's edict, do you dare not listen?"

Xu Jian immediately shut his mouth, and then said: "Is he a disciple of the academy?"

"Hey, he is not only a student of Xuegong, but also the fourth grandson of Wu'an Jun's grandson Wuzi! How about it, what else do you want to ask?" Zai Otsuka said calmly.

"The fourth grandson of Lord Wu'an?" Xu Jian's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Since your majesty has appointed him as a military advisor, does the military advisor have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

"I already have some thoughts!" Sun Bin didn't care about Xu Jian's attitude just now. Just before he served as a military adviser and went to Huaibei, Wang Kan had already mentioned the difficulties, doubts, contempt, etc. he was about to encounter.

Then persuade him not to be careless.After being tempered in the military camp, Sun Bin already had some ideas.

After the Huai army had reinforcements, the number had reached 20. Although they were still fewer than Qi, they were confident of defeating Qi.

Now that Huai State is fighting on three sides, he needs to solve Qi State as soon as possible, and then go to reinforce Zhong State and defeat the Allied Forces of the Three Jins.

"Our army's reinforcements have arrived. If Qi still wants to win, the only way left is to raid Huai'an, or simply retreat." Sun Bin came to the army tent and pointed to Kanyu map.

"Qi State has won consecutive battles and has high morale. If we retreat like this, I am afraid that we will not be reconciled. Nine times out of ten, we want to attack Huai'an by surprise. And before I came, I knew that Qi State has the advantage and is pressing every step of the way, but there is no strong attack. The purpose of the city is to make the defenders paralyzed, and then let the Huai country mobilize the Huai'an army, resulting in a partial emptiness."

"Then fight more and fight less, and capture Huai'an, the important town of Huai State in World War I. After occupying Huai'an, the army cut off the canal, and even if there are more Xiapi defenders, they will only be defeated if they are cut off."

Sun Bin quickly speculated on the thoughts of Qi's general through clues.

"No, the reinforcements have arrived now, and Huai'an is empty. What if the Qi State raids Huai'an at this time?" Xu Jian's face changed, and he was about to send troops south.

"Be safe and don't be impatient! The matter hasn't happened yet, everything is just speculation!" Zai Otsuka grabbed Xu Jian and said.

"Continue to listen to what the military division has to say!"

Xu Jian immediately realized that since the military division had seen through the strategy, it was natural that the arrangements had already been made.

"Military division, you continue!"

"If my predictions are correct, the Qi State should go south secretly. Let people pay attention these two days to see if there is any difference in Qi State's army from before." Sun Bin said.

Soon, after the Huai State increased its troops, the frequency of Qi State's fighting dropped instantly, and at the same time, Qi State began to switch from offense to defense.

As for the barracks, it doesn't look any different, but the number of soldiers in the barracks has increased a lot.

After observing, Sun Bin found Xu Jian and said, "Qi has already divided its troops. Tonight, Commander Otsuka and I will go south with [-] troops. General Xu will continue to confront the Qi army."

"Ah, has it gone south? Impossible. I sent scouts and found that there are no fewer people in every camp, and there is no obvious change in the smoke." Xu Jian asked with some doubts.

Sun Bin said: "The frequency of entering and leaving the barracks of the Qi State has been shortened by one-third."

"They sent out the army secretly at night, and then let part of the [-] army return to the barracks during the day. In this way, you will feel that Qi is also sending reinforcements instead of dividing troops to attack Huai'an."

"As for the problem of cooking smoke, this is even simpler. Just set up twice as many stoves, and the original group of ten people can be changed to a group of five people."

"Then plant a large number of grass men in the camp, and put clothes on them. As long as you don't get close, you won't be able to find out whether it's true or not. In this way, General Xu won't be able to find out that they have gone south to attack Huai'an!"

"Military Master, what should we do next?" Xu Jian was completely convinced by Sun Bin at this time.

"Zai Otsuka and I led the army to the south. The Qi State did not dare to go south with fanfare at this time. The march must be slow. We waited at the Huaihe River first. After I went south to attack the Qi State, General Xu also attacked and defeated the Chu army in one battle! "

Immediately, Sun Bin and Otsuka Zai took advantage of the night to go south. By the next day, Sun Bin's army had already arrived near the Huaihe River.Sun Bin let the army hide, and then quietly waited for the arrival of Qi.

Sun Bin didn't make Sun Bin wait long, and soon tens of thousands of Qi troops came rushing forward. Seeing this situation, Sun Bin didn't send a large army to attack but continued to wait.

Sure enough, the Qi army came prepared. Although the Qi army did not have naval assistance, they prepared a large amount of wood to build the pontoon bridge.

The Qi army built five pontoon bridges at once, and then the army quickly crossed the river.After Qi's army had crossed half of the river, Sun Bin waved the command flag and ordered an attack.In the next second, many small boats that had been hiding in the reeds rushed out instantly!

These Huai soldiers directly lit the boats with torches, and then let these boats hit the pontoon bridges, which quickly ignited the pontoon bridges.

Seeing this situation, Qi Jun was shocked.The Qi army who had already crossed the river also wanted to flee back.

Sun Bing waved the command flag again, and saw the Huai army rushing towards the Qi army from the hidden area.After the Qi army was suddenly attacked, they were in a panic.The Lord General of Qi desperately tried to stabilize the army, but unfortunately it was already too late.

The army was suddenly attacked, and it was in chaos. Although the Qi army was elite, its combat quality was far inferior to that of the Huai army.The soldiers of the Huai State simply gave them a chance. After the army attacked, they immediately interspersed with the Qi army, dividing and encircling the Qi army.

Sun Bin commanded the army, and the Huai army quickly divided and surrounded the Qi army on the north bank of the Huaihe River, and then annihilated them bit by bit, while the Qi army on the south bank of the Huaihe River wanted to rescue them, but they could only watch the pontoon bridge burn down.

Soon the Qi army began to surrender on a large scale.
