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

Chapter 898: Destroy the altar and the sacrifices, break the sacrificial technique! Li Mu still has no choice!
Generals: Huh? ! !
Li Hong said with almost gnashing teeth: "Zheng Xian was unwilling to convey the commander's words, but personally angered Qin Chang'an Jun with words."

"I thought Zheng Xian would have a countermeasure."

“I never thought that Zheng Xian would be unable to break the sacrifice of Qin Chang’an Jun?!”

"If Qin Chang'an ordered the Earth Dragon to turn over in our army at the critical moment, what would happen to our army?"

Li Mu's provocation against Ying Chengjiao served the overall strategy, which was conducive to Li Mu's implementation of the strategy of luring the enemy deep into his territory, and he had already prepared countermeasures.

Now, Zheng Anqi did not provoke Ying Chengjiao on behalf of Li Mu as Li Mu had said, but instead provoked Ying Chengjiao himself, directly escalating the war between mortals into a war between immortals and gods.

It would be fine if Zheng Anqi had a good idea and a way to counter it.

Zheng Anqi now says that he is in charge of killing but not burying?!

How could Li Hong not be angry!
Zheng Anqi was also extremely devastated. Could he blame Zheng for this?

Who would have thought that Qin Chang'an was born in the year of the dog!
Zheng was just sending out a signal of cooperation, but he was chased and bitten by Qin Changan!
But on the surface, Zheng Anqi said calmly: "Qin Chang'an Jun used witchcraft to defeat the enemy, and Zheng used fairy dates to help his friends."

"Zheng is unable to defeat Qin Chang'an's command to perform the Earth Dragon Sacrifice, and Qin Chang'an is also unable to defeat Zheng's merit of the Immortal Date!"

"And if the Lord of Qin Chang'an wishes to command the earth dragon to turn over, he must build an altar and offer sacrifices."

"According to Zheng's calculations, our army can stop Qin Chang'an!"

Li Hong wanted to say more, but Li Mu shouted in a deep voice: "Captain Li Hong, shut up!"

Li Hong had to swallow his subsequent words and could only look at Zheng Anqi angrily.

Li Mu continued, "When I was fighting against Qin Chang'an Jun at Fukou Xing, I personally felt the power of Qin Chang'an Jun's earth dragon turning over and defeating the enemy."

"As far as I know, this sacrifice can certainly attract the help of the Earth Dragon, but there are many conditions."

"The altar for worshiping the earth dragon can be hidden in a hidden place, and there is no need to build an altar on the front line. However, before the earth dragon turns over, the soldiers need to bury the sacrifices at the place where the earth dragon turns over."

"I think that if we destroy the altar and the offerings, we may be able to defeat Qin Chang'an Jun's ritual to ask the Earth Dragon to turn over!"

Li Mu firmly believed that Ying Chengjiao had really invited the Earth Dragon Arm to help.

But when Li Mu thought rationally along the superstitious line of thought, he vaguely discovered one of the real conditions for Ying Chengjiao to order the earth dragon to turn over.

But what Li Mu didn’t know was that what Ying Chengjiao sent his soldiers to bury was not a sacrifice, but black gunpowder!
Zheng Anqi heard this and said solemnly: "Zheng thinks this strategy can work!"

Li Mu ignored Zheng Anqi's agreement.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Send a message to the King of Yan, asking him to lead the Yan army back immediately and join forces with our army!"

"Pass this general's order!"

"Deputy General Tian Sheng leads his troops to attack the left wing of the Qin army!"

"Captain Li Hong led his troops to attack the junction of the Qin army's left wing and the front army!"

"Central troops, listen up and press forward!"

at the same time.

In the Qin army, Wang Ben gathered his troops and rode up to meet Ying Chengjiao. He bowed and said in a deep voice, "My Lord!"

"I think that our army is far inferior to the enemy in terms of manpower at the Yishui Great Wall. We should be more cautious in our actions."

"It is true that our army defeated the enemy in this battle and even caused the Yan army to flee. However, I do not think this is enough to prove that our army was able to defeat more than a million enemy troops with only 440,000 troops. It is just the result of a contest of military strategies between the two sides."

"Now that the enemy hears that Lord Chang'an intends to build an altar and command the earth dragon, they will surely do their best to attack our army, and their morale will surely rise!"

"I advise you to temporarily postpone the construction of the altar and lead the troops back to the Yishui Great Wall first, and use the strength of the Yishui Great Wall to resist the enemy's attack."

"When the enemy's morale is weakened, Lord Chang'an will secretly order the civilians to build an altar in a hidden place and sacrifice to the Earth Dragon. I will take advantage of the enemy's fatigue and cooperate with the Earth Dragon to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"

Ying Chengjiao's words that he was going to sacrifice to the earth dragon could certainly make the enemy panic and cause some of them to lose their will to fight, but it would also fill more of the enemy with a sense of urgency and fighting spirit and weaken their fear of dying on the battlefield.

If he were to be overturned by an earth dragon, he might die; if he were to confront the elite Qin army head-on, he might also die.

The former is unavoidable, while the latter has a chance to survive, and if there is a gain, one can be rewarded.

In that case, there’s nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, in the next period of time, the enemy's morale will be extremely high and the enemy's offensive will become more fierce.

But once the enemy's morale fades, their fear of the dragon's turn will grow, and their morale will begin to decline.

In Wang Ben's opinion, Ying Chengjiao's declaration when answering the question in front of the battle line could not be said to be right or wrong.

Whether you can avoid the attack when the enemy's morale is high and seize the opportunity to win when the enemy's morale is declining is the standard for judging right and wrong!
However, what Wang Ben never expected was that Ying Chengjiao actually looked at Wang Ben in surprise and said, "General Wang, do you also think that I want to build an altar to command the earth dragon?"

Wang Ben was greatly surprised: "Didn't the commander just say that he wanted to build an altar for sacrifice and command the earth dragon to turn over?"

Ying Chengjiao's image of being trustworthy was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even Wang Ben did not doubt whether Ying Chengjiao was fooling people.

Ying Chengjiao shook his head slightly and said, "As early as the Zheng County sacrifice, I told the king and the three dukes, nine ministers and generals that I do not have the ability to command the earth dragon, but I can occasionally hear the whereabouts of the earth dragon."

"Whether I build an altar or offer sacrifices, the Earth Dragon will rise this year."

"I built the altar not to command the earth dragon to turn over..."

Wang Ben blurted out: "It's to lure the enemy!"

"The enemy army did not know that Lord Chang'an had already caused the Earth Dragon to rise this year during the Earth Dragon sacrifice in Zheng County."

"After Lord Chang'an's reply in front of the battlefield today, the enemy will definitely pay special attention to the altar built by our army and destroy it at all costs!" "But for our army, the altar is not used to command the earth dragon, but to lure the enemy deep into our territory!"

Wang Ben finally understood why Ying Chengjiao said those words in front of the two armies.

Ying Chengjiao built the altar not to command the earth dragon, but to seek victory!

The sacrifices required by the altar were not grains and animals, but the flesh and blood of the enemy!
Every altar built under the supervision of Ying Chengjiao will be a place that the enemy must attack.

The Qin army could build countless such altars to disperse, guide and pull back enemy forces.

Not only that, the Qin army can also build altars in canyons, valleys and other places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, forcing the enemy to take the initiative to step into terrain that is unfavorable to the enemy!

Ying Chengjiao smiled and cupped his hands: "As expected, you are General Wang!"

"My plan cannot be hidden from General Wang's keen eyes!"

Wang Ben hurriedly bowed in return: "I need the commander's enlightenment to understand the deep meaning of your strategy."

"I think it is impossible for the enemy to figure out the commander's plan!"

"Even if I was enlightened by the commander, I would not be able to carry out such a brilliant strategy. I can only provide some assistance from the side."

"It is my honor to be able to follow the commander in chief and witness such a brilliant strategy in person!"

Wang Ben's words contained three parts of flattery and seven parts of sincerity.

Throughout history, only a great wizard like Ying Chengjiao, who is recognized by the world, can arrange such a military strategy using the altar!

Ying Chengjiao immediately shook his head: "General Wang is too modest!"

"I would like to order General Wang to lead an army of 100,000 to Xibanyu (now Shimenyu, Baoding) to build an altar."

"Then I will personally lead 340,000 troops to ambush on both sides of Xibanyu."

"What do you think, General Wang?"

Ying Chengjiao sincerely asked for advice, but Wang Ben's eyes lit up: "Commander-in-chief wants to invite the enemy to confront him in Xibanyu?"

"I think this strategy is a great one!"

"If I really lead an army of 100,000 into Xibanyu to build the altar, Dai Wu'an Jun will have no choice but to send troops to attack Xibanyu!"

"In this way, the enemy's superior force can be contained, and our elite forces can be fully utilized!"

Before the Ming and Qing dynasties began to mine stone slabs from this area on a large scale for the construction of the capital, most of the roads inside Xibanyu were no more than three meters wide, and some roads were even less than ten meters wide. Most of the roads were not passable by horse-drawn carriages and could only be traversed by manpower or horses. The stone walls on both sides looked as if they were carved by knives and axes, and monkeys had to take detours when they saw them. It was indeed an excellent place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could restrict the deployment of large enemy troops.

More importantly, through Xibanyu in Yi County, you can cross the remaining range of Hengshan Mountain, and then turn into Feihu Pass, one of the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountain, and head north to Feihu Valley.

The distance between Feihu Valley and the Dai State capital, Wei County, is only twenty-eight miles!
Elite soldiers can arrive in half a day with their rapid march!
Even if Li Mu saw through Ying Chengjiao's plan to build the altar to lure the enemy, what would it matter?

Would he dare to let 100,000 Qin troops disappear in Xibanyu and threaten the short-handed Wei County? !
Li Mu, no choice!
Ying Chengjiao said sincerely: "If we implement this strategy, it will be too dangerous for General Wang."

"But apart from General Wang, I really don't dare to hand over this task to any other general!"

"And I have promised Yang Wengzi the first victory in the battle of Yishui Great Wall."

"General Wang shouldered such an important responsibility but was not able to take the first place in this battle. I feel guilty about this!"

Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

If the credit for this battle had not been given to Yang Wengzi, I would never have been willing to take on this responsibility!

After a moment's thought, Wang Ben said in a deep voice, "It is difficult for our army to obtain supplies in Xibanyu."

"If I were to lead the army, I would not only need 100,000 elite soldiers, but also 200,000 civilians. These 200,000 civilians would all have to push the Chang'an carriages, which would be fully loaded with baggage."

"General Qiemo can only hold out for three months at most!"

"Three months later, if my troops are unable to break out, I will lead them to Feihu Pass and rest in the direction of Lingqiu from the west side of Feihu Pass!"

Ying Chengjiao said in a serious tone: "I will agree to all of them!"

"If the battle situation is not going well, I will allow General Wang to retreat to Feihu Pass at any time!"

Wang Ben's last bit of worry also dissipated, and he solemnly bowed and said: "The commander trusts me, and I will not let you down!"

Ying Chengjiao laughed loudly and returned the greeting with a salute: "May our Great Qin be victorious!"

at the same time.

Easy to close.

Yang Duanhe stood on the city gate tower, looking eagerly at the army in the distance, and smiled with joy in his eyes, "Finally, Lord Chang'an is leading his army to help us!"

"I never thought that this first achievement would be so simple and easy..."

"Chang'an Jun?"

"Chang'an Jun!"

Looking at the big banner heading northwest, Yang Duanhe became anxious: "I have been defending the Yishui Great Wall for three full days!"

"Changan Jun, it's time to change defense!!!"
