Before uttering the words of the queen, Lian Po had already made a comprehensive plan.

As the three giants of the Wei army reached an agreement, the Wei army immediately took action.

There is no need to make a big move: the outer defensive legion will replace 10,000 soldiers, and 20,000 troops will be transferred from the attacking inner legion to form the central army commanded by Lord Xinling. At the same time, a thousand soldiers will be mixed with these 10,000 soldiers. The well-equipped reserve troops were transferred to the rear army to form a vanguard army to break through. What was left was the rear legion led by Lian Po who was left on the inside. From the outside to the inside, there are three, three, and two layouts.

Jin Bi, who knew that soldiers are valuable and quick, immediately used the soldiers as the vanguard to launch an attack on the Qin army on the periphery after receiving the participation of military soldiers and reserves.

Obviously, Jin Bi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army's formation had not yet been fully deployed and needed further adjustments to catch the Qin army off guard. However, the Wei army, which lacked cavalry, obviously underestimated the distance between the two armies, and also underestimated the Qin army's adaptability.

Seeing that the surrounded Wei army dared to rush forward regardless of life and death, what else did Wang Lu have to say? He immediately gave the order for a general attack at three o'clock and ordered the entire army to launch a counterattack. In a head-on attack, infantry was the main force, and Wang Hao really wasn't afraid of anyone.

Then the two armies quickly entered into a fight.

As soon as Qin and Wei started fighting here, Bai Qi quickly received the news and immediately judged that the Wei army was about to run!

Immediately, two instructions were issued immediately: "First, the entire army immediately launched a full-scale attack on the Wei army facing them, and must trap and delay the Wei army; second, Wang Qi led 15,000 cavalry and immediately went south, preparing to intercept them halfway. Kill the Wei army."

That's right, Bai Qi had already judged the direction of the Wei army's breakout at the first opportunity. Of course, it was not difficult to guess. After all, there were no great talents in Wei who could break away from their conventional thinking.

As for sending cavalry to ambush, firstly, the cavalry is fast and can reach the destination quickly; secondly, it is foreseeable that the two armies will be infinitely integrated in the next battle, and the cavalry with bows and arrows as the main means of attack In such a battlefield, in order to avoid accidentally injuring one's own side, it is simply difficult to exert combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is better to send these cavalry out for an ambush. Obviously, whether it is an ambush or even a subsequent pursuit, the cavalry can exert greater combat power. Of course, in order to confuse the generals of the Wei army, Bai Qi only asked Wang Qi to take away 15,000 of the remaining 20,000 cavalry. The remaining 5,000 cavalry were enough to show off and protect the two wings.

Of course, Bai Qi was just buying insurance. If he could annihilate the Wei army on the spot, Bai Qi would obviously prefer to bury it on the spot.

However, what Bai Qi didn't know was that his plan played into Lian Po's hands. In other words, Lian Po had guessed from the beginning that once the Wei army showed signs of retreating, Bai Qi would definitely use his cavalry to attack in the south. Set up an ambush.

However, Lian Po did not share this judgment with Lord Xinling and General Jin Bi. Perhaps if Jin Bi's words were more tactful, perhaps if Lord Xinling were more responsible, Lian Po would tell the truth about his judgment. It's just that both Lord Xinling and Jin Bi put their own and Wei's interests first.

Since you are unkind, you cannot blame me for being honest and unjust. After all, I'm just guessing.

Of course, maybe even if Lian Po expressed his judgment, Lord Xinling and Jin Bi would not change their breakout route in the end. Maybe even if they finally changed their breakout route, they would not be able to break out? Who knows?

The only thing that is certain is that the battle has completely begun.

When the swords struck each other, blood flowers bloomed in the air in their most beautiful form.

General Jin Bi was obviously ruthless, and he brought his own soldiers to join the ranks of the soldiers. With a slash of his long sword, a Qin soldier immediately lost his life.

Without any pause, he struck another sword with his backhand, and the long sword hit the Qin army's shield. The huge force directly knocked away the Qin army in front of him, and even several Qin soldiers who followed were forced to retreat. A small gap instantly appeared in the long front line of the Qin army.

The surrounding Qin troops were obviously well-trained, and they were about to rush towards this small gap, obviously intending to take advantage of Jin Bi's moment of recovery to block the gap again.

However, the Qin army moved quickly, and the reaction of the Wei army's soldiers was not weak.

The commander closed his shield, and several short spears were fired from the air. With a few puffs, they sank into the bodies of the Qin soldiers who were trying to block the gap.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jin Bi had already regained his strength, wielding his long sword with both hands and charged in through the small gap. As they were swinging from side to side, the two Qin soldiers drank in hatred again. As the last general of Wei State, Jin Bi still showed his due ability and combat power in critical moments.

When the soldiers and soldiers behind him saw how heroic the general was, their hearts were filled with excitement. Seeing the situation, they immediately bullied themselves. Because the gap was too small, the Wei army's shield almost brushed against the Qin army's shield. It can be said that the Wei army was forced to attack. He used his body strength to push away the Qin soldiers on the left and right.

Then, the small gap turned into a slightly larger gap.

The long sword in Jin Bi's hand danced more and more fiercely. Jin Bi knew very well the principle of "strengthening, weakening, and exhausting three times." If the gap cannot be opened this time, it may be more difficult to open it later.

Therefore, even if Chang Ge was added to his body, Jin Bi would not retreat at all.

Compared with Jin Bi's desperate resistance, Lord Xinling, who was in charge of the central army, had a hard time. Lian Po held on to nearly 100,000 Qin troops on the inside. Jin Bi personally led the battle and dispatched troops to check for deficiencies. All of a sudden, Lord Xinling can only do the errands, and this can be regarded as Lord Xinling's first appearance on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Lord Xinling has been staying with Lian Po these past few days, and he has learned a lot of battlefield experience. In addition, as a member of the royal family, he has read no less military books than Zhao Kuo. For a battle of such intensity, It's still manageable.

However, it was inevitable that the fierce battle still made Xinling Jun, the first brother on the battlefield, somewhat stretched.

Compared with the embarrassment of Lord Xinling and General Jin Bi, Lian Po, who was on the inside, seemed a little more comfortable. He neither went to the battlefield personally nor frequently deployed troops in the rear.

Twenty thousand versus ninety thousand, nearly five times the number of troops, this was obviously an unequal battle.

Even though the Wei army was on the defensive.

There is a saying in the art of war: if you are ten, you will surround it, if you are five, you will attack it, and if you double it, you will divide it. Apparently even Sun Tzu believed that as long as he had five times the force, he could win with a high probability.

Even with the combat power of the Wei army, it is quite difficult to successfully defend for three hours on this vast combat surface.

But Lian Po said: I am not panic at all!

Three hours, this is Lian Po's promise to Lord Xinling and Jin Bi, and Lian Po will naturally fulfill it. However, Lian Po's method of achieving it was not just relying on the 20,000 troops in front of him.

Didn’t you see that thousands of soldiers were quietly busy in the camp, regardless of the tense front line?
