My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 406 The decisive battle at Dahongshan? Damn it!

Su Jiao excitedly raised his hands and said, "The Chu army is indeed ambushing in Dahong Mountain."

"The coach is wise!"

Yang Hu, Li Xin and other generals also raised their hands and shouted:

"The coach is wise!"

Although it is still unknown how many troops the enemy has deployed, all the generals including Li Xin and Yang Hu showed smiles of relief.

They never made the journey in vain!

The efforts of Cen Bian and Meng Tian were also worth it!

More importantly, Ying Chengyu once again proved that he can lead everyone to victory!

However, there was no smile on Ying Chengyu's face.

He was indeed gambling, but it didn't matter whether he won or lost.

If the bet fails and there are no hidden troops on the front line of Dahong Mountain, and Xiang Yan indeed only brought 80,000 navy troops to the southeast, it means that Xiang Yan's troops are just bait, and the Chu State will continue to send heavy troops to the battlefield of Chencheng. This means that Qin's overall strategic failure.

But in that case, the pressure will be on Wang Jian, and on the local battlefield where Ying Chengyu is responsible, Ying Chengyu will be able to go south along the Dahong Mountain and cut off the Chu army's supply line.

Then he turned to the northwest and cooperated with Cen Bian, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Nan to continuously compress the living space of the Chu army, and finally surrounded and annihilated the Chu army!

But now, Ying Chengyu won the bet.

This means that the Chu State has indeed sent a large number of troops to advance into the Jianghan Plain, and the war before Ying Chengyu will become more and more dangerous!

Ying Chengyu asked solemnly: "Have you ever been caught by the enemy's tail?"

The scout quickly shook his head: "Absolutely not!"

"Our unit followed the commander's order and discovered the traces of the Chu army's activities. We pretended to be refugees and approached."

"After seeing the Chu army from a distance, he immediately left. He did not investigate the strength of the Chu army in depth, nor did he have direct contact with the Chu army."

The scout looked at Ying Chengyu with burning eyes: "May I ask the commander, are our troops going to return to Xiaozhaizi Peak and conduct an in-depth investigation?"

All the generals looked at Ying Chengyu.

They had been galloping day and night for so long, and now they finally caught the Chu army's tail.

The swords of all the soldiers are thirsty!

However, Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Get the map of Kun!"

Following Ying Chengyu's order, the soldiers immediately unfolded the map of Kun in front of Ying Chengyu.

"Xiaozhaizi Peak."

Ying Chengxuan pointed the Xiaozhaizi Peak with a wooden stick and glanced back and forth on the map of Kun.

It can be seen that Xiaozhaizi Peak is located in the northwest of Dahongshan Mountains and is the area closest to the plains in the Dahongshan Mountains.

Xiaozhaizi Peak faces Huashan Mountain in the distance, and together with the terrain in the southeast, it forms a natural pocket array!

Once the flat land between Xiaozhaizi Peak and Huashan is sealed, the Qin army will turn into a turtle in an urn!

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Ying Chengyu murmured softly: "I expected that Xiang Yan had other soldiers and horses."

"The general also expected that this army would be hidden in Dahong Mountain."

"Of course, did Chu Shangzhu's congress expect that this general would expect all this?"

As long as the general of the Qin army is a general who has a good view of the overall situation, even if he is not a famous general, he is likely to see that the Chu army has to do this.

There was more certainty in Ying Chengyu's voice: "The State of Chu Shangzhu must have expected that the general had expected all this."

"Even if it is just for safety, Chu Shangzhu Kingdom will not give up such a terrain suitable for ambush."

"Xiaozhaizi Peak will definitely not be where the enemy's main force is."

Xiaozhaizi Peak is to the surrounding terrain what a drawstring is to a pocket.

Who would use the drawstring to store things when there are pockets available?

Ying Chengyu raised his voice: "Order!"

"Send out four thousand scouts and sneak to Huashan, Baierjian, Changling...and the direction of the main peak of Dahong Mountain to investigate."

"There is also no need to check the enemy's strength. Once you find traces of the enemy, just go back!"

The scout immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"

The four thousand scouts quickly changed into short linen clothes, packed enough food for several days, and headed towards the mountains and forests.

Ying Chengxuan turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Instruct all county magistrates in Nanyang County to add checkpoints and abolish the qualifications of counties, townships and boroughs to issue passes (passes). No one is allowed to leave the country without a military order."

"Every city closes its gates and no one is allowed in or out."

"Especially, let the county magistrates of each city keep an eye on the people in the city. Once any of the people's subordinates want to leave the city, they will be punished as disobeying the military order. The three clans of Yiqi family! This order is clearly announced to all cities!"

"I sent an order to the county magistrate of Wancheng that Wancheng should give up the autumn harvest and must bring all the people in the city into the city. The list was checked against the books, but one person did not enter the city, and the neighbors were sitting together!"

"All the scouts will be released pretending to be county soldiers. We must keep our troops hidden. Anyone who might reveal the whereabouts of our troops will be executed immediately!"

"Instruct Meng Nan's troops to speed up their march and arrive at Shandu County within half a month!"

All the generals raised their hands: "Wei!"

All the generals knew that the enemy troops were not far away, but no one knew how many there were.

A tense atmosphere hung over Qin Jun's head.

But they could do nothing but wait quietly.

As time passed, a scout returned to the military camp.

"Report to the commander! Huashan has found traces of the Chu army!"

"Commander! Bai Erjian has not found any traces of the enemy!"

"Commander Qi..."

As news came back one after another, chess pieces of different colors were placed on the map of Kun.

Looking at the Chu army's position map outlined by the red chess pieces, Li Xin couldn't help but look stunned: "The Chu army really set up an ambush!"

"Did the Chu army already expect that our army would come to Dahongshan?"

Even though he didn't know how many troops each chess piece represented, Li Xin could still feel how dangerous this pocket array of flags was!

Yang Hu cupped his hands in admiration and said: "The coach knows things like a god!"

However, Ying Chengyu's brows furrowed even deeper:

"I have expected that Chu Shangzhu Kingdom has expected that I have expected his arrangement."

"Then Chu Shangzhuguo can expect that I have expected that he has expected that I have expected his arrangement?"

"If Chu Shangzhu Guo expected it, what would he do?"

"Luring me deeper? The navy landed and launched a side attack?"

"Or maybe..."

"Is this the second battlefield he chose?" "Could it be that Chu Shangzhu's country allocated its troops like that just to attract this general to lead his army here?"

If the Qin army is good at field warfare and the Han army is good at powerful crossbows, then the Chu army is especially good at water warfare, mountain warfare, jungle warfare and rushing warfare.

The legs of the Chu army were definitely the fastest among all the soldiers of the Warring States Period, and they could be said to be in a constant running state.

And mountain warfare and jungle warfare are the Chu army's special skills!

If a decisive battle is really launched in Dahongshan, the Qin army will still be at a disadvantage due to geographical advantages.

Many possibilities and follow-up plans were constantly intertwined in Ying Chengyu's mind, eventually forming a lush tree diagram.

After pondering for a long time, Ying Chengyu murmured slowly: "From Dengcheng to Dahongshan, it takes three hundred miles by land and four days by water."

"enough!"

Finally, Ying Chengyu made up his mind: "Order!"

"The Chinese army detoured to the northeast and turned to the north of Dahong Mountain to ambush."

"All the scouts carried a basket of oil on their backs and sneaked into Xiaozhaizi Peak, Huashan, Changling... and around the main peak of Dahong Mountain."

"Sprinkle oil where the foliage grows after nightfall!"

"When you hear the general's order, you may see the mountain fire ignite."

"Set fire immediately!"

"Burn the mountain!"

decisive battle?

Damn it!

How could I use my own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?

……

September 27th.

The northeast wind that had been blowing in Dahongshan for more than half a month turned into a southwest wind that can blow light dust.

As the weather gets colder and colder, the Chu troops hiding in the deep mountains and old forests feel increasingly cold.

But the coldness belongs to the soldiers.

All the generals of the Chu army were burning in their hearts.

"The commander has sent an order to our troops!" Jingchou said excitedly, holding the bamboo slip in his hand: "We must first send out scouts to carefully scout the surrounding area."

"If it is confirmed that there is no Qin army around, I will lead one hundred thousand troops to move northwest and attack Danyang City to cut off the Qin army's retreat."

"After seizing the city, defend Danyang City and lock the main force of the Qin army between Danyang and Dengcheng!"

"Let Captain Xiang Rong lead 40,000 troops to move to the northeast, attack Wancheng, and seize the Great Wall to force the Central Plains!"

All the generals cheered and raised their hands: "Wei!"

Xiang Rong couldn't help but move his shoulders and laughed loudly: "Finally there is no need to stay here anymore."

"Our officers and men can finally have two hot meals and enjoy themselves over the fire at night!"

The other generals also smiled.

All the generals are from noble backgrounds. For them who are pampered all day long, these days for more than half a month are undoubtedly torture.

They really don't want to miss a day of the cat's life in the deep mountains and old forests!

Zhaohuang couldn't wait to admonish him: "General, do you want to eat early tomorrow and break camp at dawn?"

Xiong Ao also nodded in agreement: "Although our unit sticks to the mountains and forests, the scouts are always out exploring."

"However, neither the scouts nor the people in the surrounding cities have heard any news of the Qin army crossing the border."

"The general will think that there is no need to investigate further."

Jingchou shook his head: "During the pre-war meeting, Shangzhu State judged that the Qin army was likely to send a partial division to Dahong Mountain to detect the strength of our army or cut off our army's food and grass."

"To this day, although our army has not discovered any Qin troops, we cannot slack off."

"After all, the commander of the Qin army is Lord Qin Chang'an, so he should not be underestimated!"

The generals in various ministries also restrained the joy on their faces when they heard this.

They all remember clearly how badly they were beaten by Ying Chenglong last year.

To underestimate Ying Chengxiang is to underestimate themselves!

Jingchou said in a deep voice: "Instruct all the scouts to leave the camp immediately and go out for forty miles to conduct reconnaissance. Once the Qin army is discovered, report back quickly."

"If the Qin army is still not found tomorrow, we will make food over an open fire at Mao hour (5:00) the day after tomorrow, and break camp at Chen hour (7:00)!"

All the generals raised their hands: "Wei!"

The military discussion ended hastily, and the generals of each department opened the tent curtains with the good expectation of having hot meals every time.

Then Jingchou frowned.

Pointing to the stars and fire in the distance, Jingchou asked in a deep voice, "Which direction is the kitchen cave for that army of soldiers and horses?"

"Why are people still raising fire at 21:00!"

"Why don't you use fire to make rice but don't cover it?"

Xiong Ao said uncertainly: "Looking at the direction, it seems to be the area where the general's troops are stationed."

"Of course..."

However, before Xiong Ao finished speaking, Jingchou had already shouted angrily: "How many times have I told you this?"

"Hidden! Hidden!"

"Are you going to burn down all the forbearance our army has endured for more than half a month?"

Xiong Ao didn't care to express his doubts anymore, and immediately handed over his hands solemnly: "General, I will return to my headquarters immediately, and I will deal with it according to military law!"

Xiang Rong suddenly said in a deep voice: "Something's wrong!"

"The fire doesn't look like it's coming from the stove."

"And..." Xiang Rong's voice rose unconsciously: "There are more and more fires!"

Jingchou suddenly raised his head and looked around, and saw fires lighting up one after another.

Then, it gradually spread to all directions!

At this moment, a scout ran towards Jingchou, shouting:

"General, the Qin army has been discovered north of Dahong Mountain!"
