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

Chapter 599: Did this general fall into a trap? Ben will do it on purpose! Seventy thousand soldiers and horses are just bait!

West of Xiapi City.

Xiang Yan stood on the urn city, looking deeply into the night sky outside the city that was burned red by the fire.

Qu Huan punched the city wall with a fierce fist: "It's his mother's fault!"

"The enemy is deceitful!"

"The Qin-Qi coalition forces must have already set up empty camps and are just waiting for our troops to get in."

"Our army has fallen into a trap!"

The moment the fire arrow flew into the sky, Qu Huan knew that the Zhao and Xiang Parts were over!

The fire arrow was definitely not set by the Zhao and Xiang tribes, but by the Qin and Qi coalition forces.

Since the Qin-Qi coalition forces will take the initiative to throw fire arrows at the Qin-Qi coalition camp, it means that Ying Chengyu has already made the overall arrangements.

That camp was not a resting area for the Qin-Qi coalition forces at all, but a trap carefully laid by Ying Chengyu!

Qu Huan couldn't understand why Xiang Yan sent 40,000 troops to attack the Qin army's camp at night.

Qu Huan only knew that these 40,000 soldiers and horses would probably be lost!
For the Chu army, which had already suffered a major defeat, this not only represented the failure of the battle plan, but also a heavy blow to the Chu army!

Qu Huan exclaimed heartbrokenly: "Do all the waiting people do what they want to eat?"

"Are all the scouts blind?"

"The scouts and waiters have misled me!"

Xiang Yan did not express any opinion on this, but turned his gaze to the east and said in a calm voice: "I'm afraid Xiang Han's troops have also fallen into the trap!"

Qu Huan suddenly looked to the east and saw the fire dragon belonging to Xiang Han's unit converging with the fire dragon formed by the fusion of Jing Huan and Sun Xing at high speed.

"Have Xiang Han's troops also fallen into the trap?" Qu Huan murmured in confusion: "Aren't Xiang Han's troops working with..."

Just looking at the battle situation, Qu Huan didn't see anything wrong.

But the next moment, the conflict between the overall strategy and the battle situation jumped into his mind, and Qu Huan's eyes suddenly condensed: "Too fast!"

"They joined together too quickly!"

In the original plan, Xiang Han's headquarters first had to take on the task of attracting the attention of the Qin and Qi coalition forces.

After attracting enough Qin troops, they immediately formed a siege with Jing Huan and Sun Xing's troops, and quickly killed part of the enemy's troops with superior force on local battlefields and undermined the enemy's morale.

But according to the current speed of Xiang Han's troops, unless Xiang Han has the unstoppable impact of Xiang Rong, it means that there are not many enemy troops in front of Xiang Han's troops!
This not only means that the encirclement plan between Xiang Han's troops and Jing Huan and Sun Xing's troops was broken, but it also means that Xiang Han's troops failed to complete Xiang Yan's orders and failed to attract much attention from the Qin and Qi coalition forces.

more than this……

Xiang Yan spoke in a calm voice: "My general's plans today were all within the expectations of Lord Qin Chang'an and General Jian of Qin."

"That camp must have been carefully arranged by the Qin and Qi coalition forces. Not only did they deceive our scouts, but they also hid a large amount of grease earlier."

"Although the ambush looks majestic, it may just be a suspicious soldier made by one person holding many torches like when the Qin and Qi coalition forces attacked Zhao."

"The two strategies of attacking the camp and involving others have failed."

Qu Huan, Xiong Liu and other generals suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yan, their eyes full of fear, and then there was an uproar:
"What our army did tonight was unexpected by Lord Qin Changan?"

"How could it be so! How could it be so! If so, how could our army win? What should our army do? What else could our army do!"

"Our army made two strategies, and two troops fell into encirclement. How many arrangements and back-ups are there for the Qin-Qi coalition waiting for our army?!"

"What should we do next? Looking at the situation of this battle, I am afraid that even if our army wants to retreat to the south of the Huaihe River as the king said, it will be difficult to achieve success!"

What is the most feared thing about war?
It’s not that we are outnumbered, or that we are outnumbered.

But all your thoughts have been learned by the enemy!

Now, the Chu army was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and there was pressure from the King of Chu. They were facing Ying Chengyu, who had defeated the Chu army twice, and the Qin-Qi coalition blocked the city gate and scolded him for more than a month!
They are already under a lot of pressure.

When they knew that their plan was all within Ying Chengyu's expectation.

Many generals are almost mentally broken!
Qu Huan took a few deep breaths, suppressed his trembling heart, and said in a bitter but firm voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom is so peaceful. I guess you have already expected that Lord Qin Changan would know about our army's arrangements, right?"

Xiang Yan nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Xiong Liu quietly took two steps back and looked at Xiang Yan with a little more suspicion.

He couldn't help but have a thought in his mind.

Could it be that Xiang Yan had secretly surrendered to Qin? !
But a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the hearts of more generals, and their hopeful eyes suddenly looked towards Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan looked in the direction of the Qin army's camp, and his voice was a little more hopeful: "The Qin-Qi coalition must have expected that Ben would try to fight again before withdrawing."

"This general will definitely fight again before withdrawing our troops."

"For this reason, I ordered Zhao and Xiang's troops to attack the enemy camp at night, and also ordered Xiang Han's troops to seduce the enemy."

"If it can be done, it will really be my great fortune."

"If it fails, no matter what arrangements Lord Qin Chang'an and General Jian of Qin have made before, they will definitely seize the opportunity to win twice and storm Pi City!"

Xiang Yan finally revealed his real plan for this battle.

Perhaps Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian made a perfect siege.

But when Xiang Yan took the initiative to expose the flaws of the Chu army and exposed the emptiness of Xiapi City, how could Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian remain indifferent?

Although the total strength of the Qin-Qi coalition was large, it could not form an absolute advantage over the Chu army in the siege, and it was somewhat stretched when it was actually used.

In order to seize Xiapi City, Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian will definitely take the initiative to abolish a series of arrangements and send their troops to Xiapi City.

In this way, Xiang Yan will have the initiative in the battle!
But none of the generals cheered for Xiang Yan.

Looking at Xiang Yan's overall layout, it is not difficult to find.

Although Zhao Xiang, Xiang Han and other six troops did have a slight chance to achieve the strategic goal, they only had a slight chance. Their main purpose in the battle is just bait thrown by Xiang Yan to Ying Chengyu!

That’s more than 70,000 robes!
Many of them are their own blood relatives!
Is the strategy gained with their blood worthy of applause?
Qu Huan just looked towards the gate of Wengcheng: "These dead objects are the real decisive strategy for Shangzhu Kingdom, right?"

Originally, there was only a bare city wall directly above the city gate of Xiapiweng City.

But Xiang Yan ordered the craftsmen to build a pavilion here. In recent days, he would stand under the pavilion every time he commanded the battle, as if he wanted to use the pavilion to protect him from the sun and rain.

But today, behind the pavilion, a wooden platform was built with extremely thick wood.

There are also more than ten long boulders weighing dozens of stones placed on the wooden platform!
On the back side of the city gate building, there is also such a general layout!

Originally, Qu Huan didn't know Xiang Yan's purpose of doing this.

But when Xiang Yan admitted that Xiapi City was the main battlefield for tonight's battle, Qu Huan finally understood Xiang Yan's thoughts.

Xiang Yan said in a sincere and firm voice: "You officers and soldiers are the basis for our decisive victory!"

"The gains and losses made in this battle will be handed over to the imperial court after the war."

"Of course, our army will definitely avenge this battle tonight!"

"I beg you all soldiers to die for our great Chu!"

What else can Qu Huan and other soldiers do?
Compassion does not control military righteousness.

They also understand this.

After experiencing the initial intolerance, all the generals acquiesced in Xiang Yan's bait strategy and handed over their hands: "You must die!"

Xiang Yan smiled happily: "Good!"

"Very good!"

Looking back towards the Qin-Qi coalition camp, Xiang Yan murmured softly: "I only hope that Zhaoxiang's troops can escape smoothly!"

"Otherwise, this strategy will be difficult to achieve!"

……

at the same time.

Zhaoxiang, who had just escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire, was disgraced and miserable. He had cut off several pieces of cloth from his lower clothes to prevent the spread of the fire.

If Zhaoxiang hadn't been wearing the heavy armor of a Chu general, it wouldn't be inappropriate to say that he was a beggar fleeing from famine.

But as soon as he emerged from the sea of ​​fire, Zhaoxiang ran into Tu Sui's flanking troops.

Zhaoxiang had no choice but to brace himself, ride his horse, raise his spear, and charge into the enemy formation himself.

"My lord, withdraw!"

After Zhao Piao, the commander of the family army, swung a spear and stabbed Zhao Xiang, he screamed sadly: "The enemy has already ambushed here, and the Lord only has more than a hundred robes around his body."

"If we don't fight out early, we will all die in this battle!"

Zhaoxiang pulled out a spear from the heart of a Qi soldier, breathed in oxygen, and kept scanning the battle situation with his eyes: "Withdraw?"

"Will the enemy allow our troops to withdraw easily?"

"The enemy clearly wants to annihilate our army here!"

Zhaoxiang has killed three Qi soldiers in a row, and he is still wearing the eye-catching heavy armor of a general, but he has not yet heard the call to persuade him to surrender.

The Qin-Qi coalition forces made it clear that they wanted his life!
After scanning the entire battlefield, Zhao Xiang finally made up his mind: "Go back to the fire site!"

Zhao Piao was stunned: "What?"

Zhaoxiang did not explain, but just tightened the reins and ran towards the fire.

Zhaoxiang has already rushed. As the commander of the family army, what can Zhaopi do?
He could only face his scalp and rush back into the hell-like sea of ​​​​fire behind Zhao Xiang!

All the Qi troops looked at each other.

"Should we chase or not?"

"You're chasing after this! Any head with burn marks will be deemed burned to death, and you can't get any money at all!"

"No money? Why fight for your life if you don't give money!"

"That's right, let them burn themselves to death."

The burned heads cannot be exchanged for money by individuals, but can only be distributed as collective rewards after the war according to merit.

This alone dispelled the enthusiasm of all the Qi troops, and saw Zhaoxiang's troops return to the scene of fire again.

Looking back, Zhao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Qi Jun did not continue to pursue him, and then shouted in a hissing voice: "This general is here!"

"Chu Army Pao Ze comes here quickly to join forces!"

Zhao Piao and other soldiers finally understood Zhao Xiang's thoughts and hurriedly shouted in unison:

"The captain is here!"

"Pao Ze, come quickly!"

Under the shouts of Zhao Piao and others, more and more Chu soldiers who were lost in the fire moved closer to Zhao Xiang.

It wasn't until more than 2,000 remnant soldiers gathered around him, and the fire became more and more intense. Many soldiers couldn't help but want to run out. Only then did Zhao Xiang give the order again: "Follow me and charge back to the city!"

"I will definitely bring you all with me."

"go home!"

In the fire scene, more than 2,000 Chu troops could not see Zhao Xiang's general flag. They could only hear the shouts of Zhao Piao and other family soldiers, but they still shouted excitedly:
"go home!"
