Out of this mentality, Li Ji naturally developed a state of certainty.
He didn't take Goldman Sachs to heart.
As the military orders from the commanders of the two armies were conveyed one after another, obvious changes occurred on various fronts.
First of all, on the west bank of Baishui, the Qin army began to retreat in defeat, unable to withstand the raging Jin cavalry, leaving corpses everywhere.
The messengers began to ride their horses back and forth, and the general's message was immediately conveyed to the commander's position.
After Li Ji heard this, he immediately said: "Okay! Send the order, and our cavalry will quickly pull out the Qin Army's grain and grass camp on the west bank. Then, they will approach from the left wing and arrive in front of Laomaling. They will coordinate with the main army and implement a strategic encirclement." "
"Got the order!" The messenger shouted and held his fists in the air.
The position of head coach of the Qin Army.
"Report~~~~~"
"Commander Su, the Jin army's cavalry has broken through our army's west bank defense line. Our army has been defeated and the grain and grass camp is in danger."
After hearing this, Su Yi didn't feel any nervousness: "Okay! Send an order to Wang Ye to burn down the camp and flee in the direction of the main force with the force of defeat, across Laomaling and into Xuanshi territory."
"No!" the messenger responded immediately.
Wang Ye is the defender of the Qin Army's west bank defense line. Hearing this, Goldman Sachs said with a worried look on his face: "Commander Su, our army's food and grass..."
"Huh? It doesn't matter, there aren't many things there, just burn it." Su Yi interrupted him.
Near the Qin Army's grain and grass camp.
"Report~~~~~"
The horses' hooves trampled the ground, and the messengers arrived in a hurry. After dismounting, they knelt down on one knee:
"General, Commander Su has an order for you to burn down the camp, lead your troops to fake defeat, and retreat from our western front to Xuanshi territory to join the main force."
Wang Ye heard this and said rather reluctantly: "It's just that the west bank has been lost inexplicably. At this time, they actually go to the grain and grass camp and ignore it. I am really puzzled by this defeat!"
"But General, this is Commander Su's military order." the ordering soldier said.
After hearing this, Wang Ye took a deep breath and waved his hand: "I know!"
The soldiers were ordered to salute and retreat.
Then, Wang Ye began to conduct:
"Quick! Throw kerosene!"
"Don't worry about those things!"
"Move quickly!"
Su Yi commanded the overall situation. Even though the battle line was extremely long, he commanded all the ministries in an orderly manner without any panic.
Following the arrangement of the Qin army, it didn't take long for the Jin cavalry to rush here at lightning speed.
But what greeted them was a sea of fire.
In the raging fire, many Jin cavalry were burned and ran around, letting out pitiful howls. Upon seeing this, the Jin general waved his hand decisively and said: "Since the Qin army's food and grass have been destroyed, then leave this place alone! General." Order, approach the left-wing front!"
Following his order, the remaining cavalrymen turned their horses one after another, and the situation of the battle was quickly reported to the commander.
"Report~~~~~"
"Report to the general, the Qin army destroyed the grain camp and burned our cavalry with fire, resulting in thousands of losses."
"Yes." Li Ji nodded: "It's nothing to worry about if it's a small skill. That's all Goldman Sachs has. Since the Qin army doesn't want to leave food and grass, then Goldman probably wants to gather all the troops to fight our army decisively." ."
"This is exactly what I wanted. I sent an order to the left and right wings to shrink the front and try to drive the Qin army's existing forces to Laomaling. They were surrounded on three sides."
"promise!"
Li Ji thought that there was no problem with his deployment, that Goldman Sachs was invincible, and that the situation on the entire battlefield was moving in a favorable direction. In fact, the fighters he saw were all flaws that Su Yi deliberately sold to him.
The commander-in-chief of the Qin army.
"Report~~~~~"
This time, the messenger looked very flustered, and his armor was even a little crooked:
"Commander Su, the front line of our army encountered the main force of the Jin army. The left wing was attacked by the Jin cavalry. On the right wing, a large number of Jin soldiers appeared, many with crossbowmen. The situation on the front battlefield is critical. The Jin army has been attacked. It’s like being sandwiched on three sides!”
"This, Commander Su!" As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the generals became a little anxious and looked at Su Yi involuntarily.
"Don't panic." Su Yi raised his hand slightly and said in a calm voice:
"Li Ji thought that his strategic purpose had been achieved, but in fact, the terrain here was not suitable for his combat concept at all."
"To implement a true strategic encirclement, the situation planned is not what is in front of us."
As he spoke, he also drew out the King of Qin Sword and pointed at the military map spread out on the ground:
"Everyone, please take a look."
"This is Laomaling. Our 60,000 infantry troops were besieged from three sides and were defeated. We slowly retreated to lure the Jin army into the direction of Xuanshi Valley."
"After the main force of the Jin army enters Xuanshi, General Peng Shuang, take 20,000 cavalry to the northeast, from the first river bed, across the Jin army's east bank of the Baihe River, to the northern end of the east fortress, at the deepest barrier of the Jin army. , direction to the right, to outflank!"
"No!" Peng Shuang cupped his fists and followed the order.
Su Yi didn't even raise his head. He continued to point on the map with the tip of his sword. Finally, he pointed the tip of the sword behind the Jin army and said:
"The Jin army's food, grass and baggage are all in Daliang Mountain, and Li Ji's commander's tent is near Laomaling. He ordered General Gao Sheng to lead 10,000 elite troops to move through Qianshuigou area, pass the Jin army's second base, and arrive near Daliang Mountain. Pierce between the two mountains and divide the Jin army into two, cutting off the main force on the western front from the grain, grass and baggage and supplies on the eastern front."
"No!" Goldman Sachs clasped his fists and turned around.
Su Yi continued: "Order, General Guan Kui, lead 10,000 elite troops, march to the Dongcang Mountain area, reach the third barrier of the Jin army, and form a line with General Peng Shuang and Gao Sachs."
"No!" Guan Kui cupped his fists and left.
After deploying these, Su Yi sheathed King Qin's sword and said:
"As far as the entire battle situation is concerned, our army will be behind and control the entire Jin army between Xuanshi Valley, Youguan, and Daliang Mountain."
"The book of war says: Encircle it at ten and attack it at five. Now our Qin and Jin have equal forces. This encirclement plan is dangerous. However, the Jin army's rear line is cut off and their retreat is cut off. They cannot retreat from the enemy in front. Without food and grass, as long as it survives the first two days, it will collapse on the third day!"
"In two days, the morale of their troops will be gone. Without food, they will be completely dead. By then, our troops will be able to sit back and enjoy their gains, waiting for the enemy to capture them."
As he spoke, he added: "Although our army's troops and the surrounding soldiers all have mountains as barriers, if the Jin army concentrates its forces and desperately attacks our gap, it will also cause our army to have a difficult battle. Therefore, in front of the mountains, , a continuous army should be deployed on the mountains, with many archers and crossbowmen stationed on high ground to guard the main roads, supplemented by huge rocks and rolling logs."
After speaking, he also stepped forward.
He was wearing a cape and the armor of the general of the Qin army. He stood at a high point and looked at the soldiers from both sides who were still fighting below, and said quietly:
"Su Yi has finally lived up to your Majesty's trust. What he can do has been done. Whether this battle will be successful or not, the next step will depend on our Qin army officers..."
