Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 156
How to ask for help is also a science.

If the number of enemy troops is reported truthfully, if the commander feels that the current strength of the army is sufficient, it is very likely that he will not be able to ask for reinforcements at all.

For fear that the Qin army would break through the defense line and threaten their own safety, the "emperor nobles" naturally went to sea and falsely reported the number of the Qin army, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops flocking to the Chu army's defense line like a tide, and it is difficult to accurately estimate How many people are there.

These lords not only tried their best to report the size of the Qin army to the sea, but also tried their best to exaggerate the ruthlessness of the Qin army.There is only one purpose, to make Jing Qi believe that this is the main attack area of ​​the Qin army, and send reinforcements as soon as possible.

In Jing Qi's military tent, urgent calls for help soon poured in like snowflakes, piling up in front of Jing Qi's case.

Roughly added up, the number of Qin troops presented by all the generals of the emperors and generals was as high as one million.

Anxiously putting the letter of appeal for help on the case, Jing Qi stroked his head at a loss.Judging from the letter, it must be that the generals estimated the number of the Qin army wrongly, but it can also be seen that this time the Qin army is indeed different from the past, and it is quite likely to fight decisively.

Although Jing Qi has been in the army for a long time, it is still a young girl who has never been on the sedan chair to command such a large-scale battle, and she doesn't know how to make a decision for a while.

"General, the Qin army is aggressive and has the potential to fight to the death. According to the generals, the main force of the Qin army should be on the two wings of our army. It is very likely that they intend to break the two wings first and attract the Chinese army to help them. After swallowing our army, they will encircle them. Chinese army, why don't our army do the opposite and disrupt the enemy's phalanx?"

The one who spoke was Jing Lun, the nephew of Jing Qi's family. He was familiar with the art of war since he was a child.

As soon as Jing Lun opened his mouth, Jing Qi raised his head and stared straight at Jing Lun.

"What do you want to do?"

Hearing Jing Qi's inquiry, Jing Lun was even more elated. The dignified Sima didn't have a clue, but I, Jing Lun, was able to turn the tide at this time. With this strategy, after the war, I would definitely be able to rise to the top and even become a marquis and prime minister. possible.

Immediately pretending to be profound, he said: "The Qin army's move is to lure our central army to send troops to rescue the two wings, and attack halfway. When the central army is empty, they will surround them.

If this is the case, the center of the Qin army must be empty. Why don't our army go the other way and send an army to test and attack it. If it is empty, the army will attack and break it with the force of thunder.

If the Qin army's camp is still well-organized, the left and right wings will definitely be a feint attack, and our army can retreat immediately. "

After Jing Lun finished speaking, Jing Qi, who was still at a loss just now, suddenly had some bright eyes.

The Qin army never expected that the Chu army, which had been on the defensive, would have the courage to attack the central camp of the Qin army.

If it was true what Jing Lun said, the central camp of the Qin army was now empty, and it must have been a piece of fat that fell to his mouth. Once the Qin camp changed hands, the two wings of the Qin army would be in chaos.

At that time, it was possible for my 60 Chu army to swallow the [-] Qin army by defeating the strong. Then my prestige would definitely overwhelm Xiang Yan and catch up with Bai Qi and Wang Jian.

Even if the guess is wrong, it is nothing more than sending out a tentative army, and the loss will be lost, and it can't be said that it hurts the bones.

Thinking of this, Jing Qi couldn't help becoming a little excited, as if the time to defeat the Qin army was right in front of him.

"Immediately lead [-] troops to test the Qin army. If the Qin army's camp is empty, you will believe the beacon smoke. If the Qin army is deceitful, return immediately!"

Jing Qi immediately gave the order and sent Jing Lun to lead the army to test it out.

Jing Lun, who was full of thoughts of making contributions, gladly accepted the order, and immediately dispatched the army with Jing Qi's military order.

In his mind, the Qin army's camp must be extremely empty at this moment, and if he can succeed in this expedition, he will definitely be able to enter the king's sight.

The camps of the two armies were only tens of miles apart, Jing Lun encountered at least a dozen scouts from the Qin army along the way, but seeing Jing Qi's army clearing the way, they all pulled out their horses and left.

Not long after, Jing Lun led [-] Chu troops outside the Qin camp.

At this distance, through the gap between the camps, the scene in the Qin army's camp can already be seen.

"Hahahaha..." Several long laughs came from Jing Lun's mouth.

"Everyone in the world agrees that Wang Jian is a famous general in the world, and Mr. Chang'an is even more wise and tricky. In my opinion, this is nothing more than that!"

"The general's words are not very clear to the general!" After Jing Lun finished speaking, the surrounding generals immediately asked.

"Just look at it, what's unusual about the horses in the Qin camp?" Jing Lun said with a smile.

The general and school took a closer look through the gaps, and saw that many horses in the Qin army's camp were still tied with many tree branches and other sundries.

Seeing this, the general was still a little puzzled and said: "The last general is dull, I don't know what the general is talking about."

Jing Lun said confidently: "In the past, there was Luanzhi of the Jin Dynasty who sent his father to pull firewood to escape in a false way, luring the Chu army to gallop away. Now there is the king of Qin who pulls firewood to gain momentum and deceive our army. If it wasn't for my relatives, how could it be for Qin? The army has succeeded."

Jing Lun is talking about the old story of the Jin-Chu struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Battle of Chengpu, Luan Zhi of the Jin State dragged the branches with a chariot, creating a false appearance of a large army fleeing, luring the Chu army to attack, and finally defeated the Chu army. Help the state of Jin win the supremacy.

Jing Lun was well-versed in military books, so he knew his country's defeat that year. When he saw the scene where the horses were dragging the branches, Jing Lun immediately recalled this period of history.

However, Qin Jun did this probably to cover up the emptiness of his battalion, and thinking of the more than ten waves of Qin Army scouts he encountered along the way, Jing Lun immediately connected all these together and made up a reasonable idea. Explanation.

There are so many scouts along the way, I am afraid that they are also set up to prevent the Chu army's spies from getting too close to the Qin camp to detect the reality of the Qin camp.

"Light up the flames and send a message to Da Sima." Jing Lun immediately ordered.

At that moment, there were sergeants who lit up the smoke and reported to Jing Qi.

Seeing the direction of the central camp of the Qin Army rushing towards Xiaohan, Jing Qi, who had been tense since Jing Lun set off, immediately became excited, as if the great contribution to saving the Chu State had already been beckoning to him, and he ordered to go early without a moment's hesitation. The Chu army, which was ready to go, attacked the central camp of the Qin army.

After getting rid of the 13 vanguard troops led by Jing Lun, [-] Chu troops rushed towards the central camp of the Qin Army.

Before the arrival of the main force of the Chu army, Jing Qi would naturally not be idle. Looking at the Qin army camp behind the camp, the defensive soldiers were no more than ten thousand. If he could break through the Qin camp before the arrival of the main army, it would be a breakthrough.

Jing Lun, with his mind fluttering, immediately drew out the long sword hanging from his waist and pointed it at Qin Ying.

"Hit it!" Jing Lun yelled, and the [-] Chu troops rushed towards the seemingly weak Qin camp.

On a hillside behind the Qin army's camp, a handsome young man in brocade clothes was looking at the distance from the main force of the Chu army to the Qin camp with his hands behind his back. This person was none other than Zhao Ziying, the current Chang'an Lord of Qin.

Besides Bao Sheng, Ziying's number one advisor, there were only two guards guarding him.

"The people of Chu are really cooperative, they rushed to die even before the plan to lure the people of Chu to investigate the emptiness of the camp was implemented." Ziying said with emotion: "I really don't know who is so sensible. "
