This one-on-one duel between the fierce warriors lasted from the morning until the sun turned west. The battle lasted for more than 270 rounds and ended in a deadlock.
After returning to the camp, Tang Yue was still angry.
Seeing that his face was flushed and his forehead was covered with sweat, Xue Wu quickly came over and said in a trembling voice: "General Tang, how could you rush after the enemy just now?"
"Young Mengli, you have insulted me too much!" Tang Yue said angrily: "If we fight again tomorrow, I will take his head!"
"This..." The generals looked at each other one after another. With these two people's martial arts skills, if they fight again tomorrow, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to determine the winner.
At this time, Xue Wu frowned slightly and began to pace back and forth a few steps, murmuring: "We can't fight like this. With the two armies facing each other, our army will not be able to advance further. Over time, the country's strength will be exhausted. "
Everyone knows that fighting a war means burning money.
Once the war drags on for too long, the only thing that will matter is national strength!
What Jin wanted was to delay, but Xue Wu had to hurry.
The deputy general also began to say: "The former king made an alliance with the King of Qin and agreed to attack Jin. The reason is that whoever captures the city will belong to him. Whoever conquers the Jin capital first will own the Jin capital and the wealth of the royal city. The other party is not allowed to interfere."
"Now, our army is entangled here by Ren Ying and cannot make any progress. As time goes by, it will be difficult for the king to explain."
"You're right." Xue Wu sighed, and then asked: "How is the situation over there with the Qin Army?"
"According to the reconnaissance report, Su Yi tested Puyang's defense line several times but did not go any further." the deputy general replied.
"It's the same thing." Xue Wu pondered for a moment and said: "My commander-in-chief still wants to cut off the Jin army's food route. Their supplies are transported from the rear. When they reach the front line, we can send out a surprise force to walk through the dangerous mountains. , marching under starry night to cut off the Jin army’s supplies.”
"But if this happens, this strange army will penetrate deep into the Jin region and be surrounded by enemies on all sides. It may become a lone army, which will be very dangerous." said the deputy general.
"This is also the problem..."
Xue Wu shook his head slightly again, and then looked at Tang Yue subconsciously.
Seeing this, the latter asked in confusion: "Xue Shuai, what do you want me to do?"
"Haha..." Xue Wu smiled and said nothing more, but began to think deeply again.
Jin army camp, Chinese army tent.
After Meng Li came back, he was a big man. After ordering the soldiers to remove their armor, he couldn't wait to unplug the water bag and drank it.
Seeing his appearance, Ren Ying smiled slightly and said, "It seems that General Mengli has met his opponent?"
It wasn't until a while later that Meng Li put down the water bag, took a deep breath, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "That's right, I called the formation today, and a white-faced boy suddenly appeared among the Liang army. He looked like a mother. They seem to be successful, but they are very powerful in martial arts. I fought fiercely with them for a whole day, but I couldn't win."
"Hiss..." Hearing this, Ren Ying couldn't help but take a breath, and then nodded slowly, saying: "I know, according to what you said, this person should be General Tang Yue of the Liang Kingdom. A spear."
"Yes, that's right, it's him." Meng Li received it.
"Well..." Ren Ying pondered for a moment, and said after a moment: "Now that Tang Yue is here, Xue Wu's confidence will definitely increase. In order to win, he will most likely attack my food and grass."
When the deputy general heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Commander Ren, our army's food and grass camp has hidden secrets. Xue Wu has not been fooled."
"He won't be fooled." Ren Ying waved his hand: "What I'm talking about is not the food camp here, but the food road!"
"Oh? Ren Shuai said..."
"Everyone, please take a look." Ren Ying pointed sideways at the military map and gestured: "Where do our army's rear supplies have to pass in order to be transported to the front?"
"Songling City!"
"And Xue Wu is very likely to send out a surprise army from here, over the mountains and ridges, and attack Songling in a diagonal way."
"And we can set up a game for him."
After Ren Ying finished speaking, the Jin generals in the tent couldn't help but look at each other, and the deputy general said: "But what if Xue Wu doesn't do this?"
"Regardless of whether he will do this or not, we must guard against his move. Our army's supply line cannot be cut off. Once it is cut, the consequences will be disastrous." Ren Ying said seriously.
On the Guangling side, neither Xue Wu nor Ren Ying could do anything to the other. In order to invade Jin as soon as possible, Xue Wu had the idea of taking a risky move, but with Ren Ying's military ability, this would obviously be another battle. A duel with edge.
On the other side, the Puyang front line.
Under Guan Jie's arrangement, one hundred thousand Jin troops were in Puyang City, and the other half relied on the terrain to form a barrier defense line on the Puyang side.
From the current point of view, there is no problem for Guan Jie to do this, because if he puts all his troops in the city, Su Yi will definitely ignore him and pass directly by and enter the hinterland of Jin.
But now, there are 100,000 Jin troops guarding the main roads leading to the country.
Once Su Yi storms Puyang, the Jin army on the defensive line next to it will form a shrinking counter-encirclement. If the defensive line is attacked, the opponent will have a geographical advantage and will suffer heavy losses.
For the Qin army, the current Puyang defense line is difficult to break, and it can even be said that there is no hope.
As for the Jin army, Guan Jie was very satisfied with his strategic arrangement.
Under this situation, Su Yi had no choice but to send generals to the formation to provoke the Jin army to fight before thinking of a way to defeat the enemy.
But Guan Jie was cautious in his life. He had already issued a death order. Without other military orders, officers and men were not allowed to leave the camp!
On this day, Peng Shuang once again led his troops to the Jin military camp. He started on his horse, raised his sword and shouted.
But no matter how he shouted, the Jin army remained unmoved, and the guards on the wall all looked at him with big eyes and small eyes.
This was not the first time. After shouting for a while, Peng Shuang lost his patience. He took the water bag handed by the soldier, pulled out the stopper, and said dullly: "You go ahead and shout. If you can't, scold them." , the more ugly the better, as long as the Jin army can be forced out."
"Understood!" the soldier responded, and then shouted:
"Listen to the Jin troops inside! You little thieves are as cowardly as rats! You are not worthy of being a soldier!"
"You are so cowardly that you don't even dare to go to the battlefield! What kind of soldier do you want to be? Why don't you go home and feed yourself!"
"Hurry up and take a look! Stop being a soldier! Your wife might end up on someone else's bed! Hahahaha——"
It is difficult to hear what soldiers are, but there is still no movement from the Jin army.
It wasn't until he cursed until his mouth went dry that he stopped and said helplessly: "General, the Jin Army is so thick-skinned that I can't even scold him."
"Alas!" Peng Shuang also sighed loudly: "Forget it, let's go back to the camp first."
On this day, the Qin army did nothing as before.
The war has been going on for more than two months. After Peng Shuang returned to the camp, he found Su Yi immediately and couldn't help but say:
"Su Shuai, our country's national strength is not as good as that of the Jin State. Food, grass and weapons are all hard-earned. If we continue to waste them in vain every day, what should we do?"
Su Yi was looking at the military map on the wall with his back to him. After hearing this, he said slowly:
"General, don't be anxious. If you want to annihilate 200,000 enemies, you can't do it in a day or two. You need to wait patiently and look for opportunities..."
