The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1440 Clearing Obstacles
"My lord, is there a need to make the trebuchet?" the staff couldn't help asking, he felt that the wood in the southwest was really good, and it would be a pity to burn all of it.

"It's not bad to make a batch, but the wind in this season is a bit chaotic. At least cut out a fire zone, so that after the war, the strong wind will not turn to burn your own people." Han Xin stood up from the tree stump, glued to his skirt. A lot of bright rosin.

The staff member bent down, grabbed a handful of dry grass and wiped it for Han Xin.

"Strange, how come there are so many pine trees here?" Han Xin asked curiously as he looked at the soldiers forming a pile not far away, eating roasted pine nuts.

"There are many pine trees in the southwest, which is normal. It is a good thing that the raw materials for making rockets in our army can be obtained locally." The staff stroked the goatee and couldn't help laughing.

Han Xin became a little worried: "This kind of thing is too easy to catch fire, and a little spark can cause a catastrophe."

"It's the same for our army, and it's the same for the Shu army." The staff said with a smile.

Han Xin walked forward here and said: "Our army has decided to attack from the left flank of the Shu army, but in some places we cannot rely on the peaks to transmit signals, so we still need to build high platforms. Once the war starts, the high platforms will become Shu. Where the Chu army is attacking by force, as long as the Chu army breaks through the high platforms, the military orders passed by our army will be completely broken, so prepare grass balls, and as soon as the high platforms in the low valley fall, the grass balls will be ignited and rolled down to burn those who come to attack the high platforms. Shu army."

"This is really a seamless strategy, and my subordinates deeply admire it." The staff expressed their admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

Han Xin didn't speak, he walked up to the high platform in front of him, and thought for a while, "Zhu Ti is surrounded by mountains, this is a city built in a small basin, if Jiang Song and the others took Yangshan Pass , then our army will not be so passive now."

The staff stopped talking, and the dozens of generals who followed Han Xin did not dare to speak.

Han Xin looked back at the silent generals, smiled, and went down the hill: "The battle will start tomorrow, and all the deployments have been made, it depends on the generals' abilities!"

"We will swear to serve our country to the death! Fight the enemy bravely!"

The passionate words reverberated among the mountains and ravines, frightened flocks of birds flapped their wings and flew up into the sky, screaming in panic.

"The Shu army has already started to move. The crossbowman in front was captured alive by Han Xin, and Han Xin left a message saying that they will attack from the right flank of our army." Li Jing said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin pondered: "When we set up the army array like this, we had already thought about this problem, but..."

"It's just that Han Xin directly stated that he wants to attack from the left wing, but we are not sure about it." Li Jing took Li Shimin's words and laughed.

"The right wing is all rugged and mountainous, and it is really not suitable for a strong attack." Li Jing's staff is now called Mr., but the word Nanhai was added before this, so he is called Mr. Nanhai.

Li Shimin said: "According to the previous plan, when Han Xin's army attacked the left wing, our army would send troops from the middle to attack Han Xin's camp. Who can lead the army?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Guang cupped his hands and came out and said: "The last general is willing to command the army!"

"The general is willing!" There was one person who surrendered his hands and came out, and it was none other than Deng Yu.

Lu Su beside Deng Yu also smiled, cupped his hands and said: "The last general is also willing to command the Chinese army and attack the Chu army's central army camp."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jing, and then said: "The three generals are willing to lead the battle, which makes me a little embarrassed... How about this, Deng Yu is the main general, Lu Su and Zhao Guang are the left and right assistants, this army in the middle , I will leave it all to you.”

"The final general will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Ever since Pei Yuanqing, Wu Yunzhao, Han Shizhong, Zhou Yafu and others died in battle outside Nanguang City, Li Shimin has always been brooding in his heart.

From the perspective of strategy, there is no problem in itself, who knows that there will be such a change in the middle, even Li Yuanba almost died.

The flames were slowly burning in the cold wind. All the hidden archers of the Shu army had to retreat. In order to prevent the fire from becoming too strong, Li Jing set all his hiding places on fire. Li Jing mobilized [-] soldiers, Cleared out a fire zone.

The vanguard of the Shu army advanced ten miles forward, with their feet stepping on the hot ground, and when all their bodies were under the heavy armor, they felt dry and hot all over their bodies.

Standing behind the heavy shield, Guan Fu wiped the sweat from his brow, swung the big knife in his hand forward and pierced the empty knife with fish scales, and shouted: "Keep moving forward, the front army pays attention, beware of the Shu army counterattacking."

Han Xin, who was ten miles away, was sitting in a thatched hut, and he could see a group of flag soldiers on a mountain not far away, waving military flags and reporting the situation ahead to Han Xin.

"Has the Shu army been retreating all this time?" Han Xin stood up and said to the standard-bearers beside him, "Tell Guanfu to retreat, and we will reach here today."

The flag bearer began to wave the command flag, and the flag bearer standing on the top of the mountain saw Han Xin's order, and immediately waved the command flag according to the regulations, and the flag soldiers in different places received the signal.

"General! The marshal has an order! Withdraw the troops!"

Beside Guan Fu, a general who understood semaphore shouted loudly.

"What?" Guan Fu stopped and looked back. The semaphore meant to withdraw the troops, "Order the whole army to retreat!"

"Back up!"

"Back up!"

The commanders of the various armies in the army shouted loudly. Li Jing, who was far away on the mountain ridge, saw Guanfu's army suddenly retreating, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes. Behind him was a trebuchet that had been ambushed. Go half a mile further, and you will suffer a devastating blow. "

On Han Xin's side, he had already got on his horse and trotted forward. Guan Fu retreated less than half the distance, and when he saw Han Xin arrived, he couldn't help but go forward.

"Marshal, the Shu army is retreating steadily, why is it withdrawing at this time?"

Han Dao said: "What's the hurry? Now it's two tigers fighting. Before you start, you have to weigh each other. If you still have the strength to use up, you can bring people to burn all the grass and trees around this trail. It's winter now, and once spring arrives, it won't be so easy to ignite."

Guan Fu looked around and swallowed, "Is it really all burned? There are many people around here..."

"Drive them all away." Han Xin said blankly, "When the battle really starts, none of these people will survive."
