The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 76 Retreat without attacking
so;
The soldiers and horses here must not be going to the hinterland of Qin to attack the city, but to ambush Qin's reinforcements, or for other purposes.

According to the scouts, there should be five thousand soldiers and horses of the Qi State here, and they are all elite.

And it is obvious that they sneaked into the hinterland of Qin secretly, otherwise the Yiyang defenders should have discovered it long ago.

Thinking of this, Princess Xia immediately made a decision in her heart.

A thousand trapped troops plus [-] Qin warriors are fully capable of defeating [-] Qi soldiers.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Qi State in front saw the Qi General at the head looking at the soldiers who were eating, with a proud look on his face.

"It is difficult to attack Yiyang together with the soldiers of other countries. It is better to go directly into the hinterland of Qin and deploy troops directly outside Hangu Pass. In this way, we can also show the power of Qi!"

"Notice, march carefully along the way, don't alert the Qin army!"

General Qi's words aroused questions from his subordinates, who couldn't help but ask: "General, should we reach Qin's Hangu Pass first and then start attacking the city?"

"Of course not!"

General Qi shook his head, "Hangu Pass is more difficult to attack than Yiyang. However, because the soldiers of other countries are attacking Yiyang, Qin will definitely hold on to prevent changes. By then, even if we have reached outside Hangu Pass, Qin will The army doesn’t dare to send troops!”

"At that time, we just need to wait quietly for the troops from Chu, Zhao and other countries to gather!"

This is indeed the case. Yiyang City has been unable to be captured for a long time, and it only has this credit. If it is divided among the six countries, how much will it fall into the hands of Qi?

But it is different to arrive at Hangu Pass of Qin State first. By then, Qi State will definitely become the leader of the coalition forces!

"The king of Qin has passed away, and the new King of Qin has succeeded to the throne not long ago. The government is in chaos. He will definitely not take risks to advance and take the initiative to attack!"

This is where General Qi's confidence lies.

On the other side, the troops led by Princess Xia were all ready to go, and then under Princess Xia's order, they surrounded the Qi soldiers.

……

Yiyang.

Gan Mao looked at the flags of the six-nation coalition waving outside the city and was filled with murderous intent. He could only order his soldiers to stick to the city wall and stay behind closed doors.

The Allied Forces of the Six Nations are coming in a mighty force, and the soldiers are in their prime. They cannot face each other head-on, they can only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

Beside Gan Mao, Bai Qi looked at the soldiers outside the city with a solemn look on his face.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, then looked at Gan Mao aside and said:

"General, do you still remember Princess Zhenguo's plan to capture Yiyang?"

"Oh..., you mean to attack the heart first!?"

When Gan Mao heard this, he blurted out immediately.

"That's right!"

I only heard Bai Qi analyze: "Although the Six-Nation Alliance seems to be as strong as an iron barrel, whether it is the last Six-Nation Alliance or this time, they are all the same. I am afraid there will be conflicts between them!"

"As long as we seize the contradiction between them, amplify it and sow discord, we will make them collapse without attacking, and we can solve the crisis in Yiyang!"

"……good!"

Gan Mao thought for a moment, nodded immediately, but frowned and said: "There is no Qin State in the six-nation coalition, how can it spread conflicts among the six nations?"

"Don't worry, General, I have a plan for this humble duty!"

Bai Qi said so.

……

Time passed slowly, and in late autumn, the weather was cold. Except for the patrolling soldiers, all the coalition forces of the various countries hid in their tents to avoid the cold.

We attacked Yiyang City today, but could not do so for a long time. Instead, we lost [-] soldiers, which was not worth the loss.

Among the three hundred soldiers, Wei's soldiers were the most numerous, which made Wei's generals quite unhappy.

The generals of the Wei State believed that only the Wei State sent the most troops and strength, which was very unfair to the Wei State. However, other countries were happy to do so and did not say anything.In this way, the gap between the six countries has arisen.

It was late at night, and suddenly there was a conversation with soldiers on patrol from the Wei State. They said that although the coalition forces of the various countries intended to attack Qin, it was the Wei State that contributed the most today, and the real purpose of the various countries was to attack Qin and weaken Han, Wei, and Zhao. !
At that time, Qi, Chu, and Yan can take advantage of Qin's counterattack and attack from behind to capture the city and seize the territory.

When the Wei soldiers heard this, they were all amazed. For a moment, they lost all will to fight and were very angry.

In fact, these words reached the ears of the generals of Han, Wei, and Zhao, making the generals of the three countries shocked and uncertain. They finally discussed it and found the general of the coalition forces to ask for an explanation.

……

Outside Hangu Pass, in the hinterland of Qin.

In a mountain forest, the night was cold and the dew was thick, soaking the dead leaves and rocks. The moisture was diffuse, adding to the chill.

The mountain forest was shrouded in darkness, but in a valley, the fire was bright, dispelling the darkness and maintaining the light.

It was accompanied by a strong smell of blood, mixed with dew, and turned into a gurgling trickle, flowing to low-lying areas.

Princess Xia Duan was sitting on the snow, holding a spear. Blood flowed from the blade of the spear and fell low on the dead leaves.Surrounded by Qin soldiers cleaning the battlefield, her eyes were fixed on the map of Kanyu in front of her.

A soldier in the camp on the side raised the torch and placed it close to him, which also brought some warmth.

"These five thousand Qi soldiers should be the main force of the Qi coalition this time. This can be regarded as relieving some of the pressure on Yiyang City!"

Princess Xia was thinking in her heart, but she didn't have too many worries about the Yiyang defenders.

He put the map away and then looked around.

She had killed all the [-] soldiers of Qi she had encountered before, and she had only lost more than [-] of her [-] soldiers.

After all, it was a sneak attack on the enemy, so such a record was normal.

At the same time, they also learned their purpose from the prisoners, but what Princess Xia didn't expect was that their purpose was so simple.

"It seems that I still think highly of them!"

Princess Xia couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. Under the firelight shrouded in darkness, Princess Xia's smile was particularly beautiful, which made the soldiers on the side mesmerized for a moment.

After Princess Xia finished cleaning the battlefield, she ordered the soldiers to rest in the open space aside and march to Yiyang tomorrow.

……

To the east of Yiyang, there is the camp of the Six Nations Allied Forces.

The Qin soldiers in Yiyang City looked into the distance, but unexpectedly found that the camp of the Six Nations Allied Forces seemed to be slightly different.

So he quickly returned and reported to the general Gan Mao.

After a while, Gan Mao and Bai Qi appeared on the city wall together, looking towards the six-nation coalition camp outside the city.

"The plan to attack the heart has been accomplished!"

After a long time, Gan Mao finally showed a smile on his face, and Bai Qi beside him also felt relaxed.

Because in their eyes, they have seen the flag of Yan State disappear, which means that the soldiers and horses of Yan State have left.

Looking at the other soldiers and horses, the banner of Chu State is fluttering and moving away.

The six-nation coalition, the alliance, will collapse on its own without attacking!

Seeing this scene, a look of loneliness appeared on Gan Mao's face, which was then hidden again.

When Princess Xia arrived in Yiyang, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations had already retreated for three days. Princess Xia was also a little surprised when she heard the news.

However, he also told Gan Mao about the soldiers and horses of Qi he encountered on the way.

"Fortunately, there is a Zhenguo princess. Otherwise, when the Qi soldiers and horses arrive at Hangu Pass and the news spreads to Xianyang, I'm afraid..."
