The next day, all the generals of the Qin army gathered together and began to discuss the war.
In the big tent, Xiao Yuan was in front of the sand table and directly raised the matter of King Xuan's northern line breakout.
He said: "In this battle, we must support the Xuan army, otherwise the strategic purpose of Yuezheng will be achieved and the Allied forces will be defeated."
Hearing what he said, all the generals looked at each other and shouted: "Even if the Xuan army breaks through, King Xuan will not choose the rear, nor will he choose to go to our army, but choose the northern line where the main force of the Yan army is. Your Majesty, Is it possible that Xie Hongling’s information is wrong?”
"Of course not." Xiao Yuan received: "Xie Hongling managed to fight his way out among thousands of troops and narrowly escaped death. How could he bring wrong news? This can only mean that King Xuan has other plans."
"What does the king mean?" Lian Xiao asked in a calm voice.
Su Yi frowned slightly and said tentatively: "If this is the case, then King Xuan's purpose should be to connect with our army first."
Xiao Yuan nodded: "Su Yi's analysis is correct. If this is the case, King Xuan probably wants to retreat the main force of the Yan Army first, and then cooperate with our army to counter-encircle Li Po's troops behind him."
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "Such an arrangement is indeed feasible."
"This queen, despite the difficult situation, is still planning a counterattack. She should not be underestimated."
Xiao Yuan sighed slightly, then looked around the generals:
"Listen to the order, on the ninth day of August, as soon as the hour comes, our army will attack the main force of the Yan Army from the hills and plains!"
"Use the infantry to advance forward to support the Xuan Army's northern front."
"Lian Xiao leads the cavalry and makes a detour from the right wing."
"Generals of all ministries, go down quickly to prepare for war!"
"This battle is of great importance. Tell the soldiers below to tear open the Yan Army's defense line!"
"No!" As soon as he finished speaking, all the generals clasped their fists.
On the other side, the main force of the Yan Army is located.
At this time, Yue Zheng was here, also discussing military affairs with the generals.
Someone said: "According to the intelligence, the Xuan Army sent Xie Hongling out from the direction of Guanshan at all costs with 10,000 elite troops."
"How do you know it's Xie Hongling?"
"That female general has the courage of a general. There is no one else in the Xuan army except Xie Hongling."
"Yes." Yue Zheng nodded and said, "Since King Xuan paid such a price and risked the life of the general, it seems that she wanted to get in touch with the Qin army and break out of the encirclement."
The deputy general agreed: "It's just that now, we don't know the direction King Xuan has chosen to break out, nor do we know when they will break out."
Hearing this, Yue Zheng glanced at the generals and suddenly said: "Do you think King Xuan will choose this place?"
As he spoke, he pointed at his feet.
Seeing this, the generals couldn't help but look at each other, and the deputy general said: "Commander Yue, the northern front is where the main force of our army is. If King Xuan chooses this place, then it really doesn't make sense."
He was right. Under normal logic, with support, he would definitely choose the easiest place to break out.
Moreover, here, in addition to the troops setting up ambushes at various strategic points, the main force of the Yan Army is more than 200,000 strong. If King Xuan is not good, he will be outflanked by the army.
Seeing that Yue Zheng was silent, the deputy general said again: "Commander Yue, in my opinion, the place where King Xuan breaks out is most likely the location of General Li Po and the Qin army. Otherwise, we can mobilize some troops there just in case." ."
"No, no, no." Yue Zheng shook his hand and said, "This is a difficult question to guess. Instead of daydreaming, it's better to do a good job of defense. On the main force's side, it's best not to act rashly. Send orders to everyone and deal with them carefully. ."
"This is!"
On Yue Zheng's side, he could not determine where Xuan's army would fight from, so he had concerns and did not dare to mobilize his troops easily. However, no matter whether his main force moved or not, King Xuan's decision had been made and it was impossible to change it.
The ninth day of August, Mao hour.
In another hour, it will be the appointed time.
At this time, the Xuan army generals had already prepared, and the army was assembled, waiting for King Xuan's final order.
At the meeting place, people lined up on the left and right. King Xuan, dressed in brocade clothes and with his hair bound in jade hairpins, stood in front of the handsome case directly above.
At this time, there is no doubt that some generals naturally began to beat drums in their hearts.
Due to the lack of information, not one of the 10,000 elites returned from the previous round, and there was no news from Xie Hongling.
"I wonder if General Hongling will succeed?"
"Yes, the Yan Army is heavily encircled. Guanshan is not easy to break out of. Ten thousand soldiers will all die in battle."
"Even if General Hongling meets King Qin, I don't know if King Qin is willing."
People were talking in hushed tones, whispering to left and right.
When King Xuan saw this, his thoughts were not disturbed, but he said directly:
"Whether General Hongling succeeds or not! Regardless of whether King Qin agrees or not, the three-day agreement has arrived. Today, all officers and men of the Xuan Army will break out from the northern front!"
She is a king. As soon as she opens her mouth, the generals naturally stop talking and clasp their fists at the same time: "No!"
"Let's go!" King Xuan ordered immediately.
This time the Five National Alliances all sent 200,000 troops. Due to the previous war and two breakouts, the total strength of the Xuan Army is now about 170,000.
Following King Xuan's order, the 170,000-strong army moved up and down and rushed directly to the northern front.
As soon as the hour came, the war broke out immediately.
At the same time, on the side of the Qin Army, Xiao Yuan also issued an order to attack.
This is a huge breakout battle, not just limited to a small area, but the entire front, stretching for a long time.
Hilly plains, frontal battlefield.
King Xuan is holding the king's sword on the chariot and personally directing the battle.
At her order, the infantry of the Xuan Army began to move away and launched a large-scale charge.
On the opposite side, countless Yan troops were overwhelming and had already set up defense lines.
Facing Xuan Jun's charge, the front row crossbowmen quickly loaded their bows and arrows, and immediately released their fingers after they were a certain distance away.
Thousands of arrows came out in unison.
Xuan Jun's heavy shield bearers began to raise their shields in unison, and a large rain of arrows hit the heavy shields, and the clanging sound never stopped.
There were also Xuan soldiers who were shot by stray arrows from time to time and fell to the ground howling miserably.
At the same time, their crossbowmen also bent their bows and nocked arrows while charging forward, pointed diagonally upward, and fired back.
Arrows from both sides flew back and forth.
Yue Zheng was also in Shuai Che, pointing his sword forward.
"Chariots out of battle!"
Following his order, the crossbowmen immediately retreated, the infantry separated from the left and right, and chariots galloped out one by one, pulled by three or two horses, dragging huge maces and other things behind them.
The soldiers on the chariot, Sergeant Yan, shook their reins one after another and whipped their riding whips fiercely.
The war horses were in pain and galloped desperately, and dust was flying on the plains.
The two sides came into contact quickly. The Xuan army was well-trained, and the front row immediately formed a tilted shield formation. The chariots rushed over, and the wheels rolled diagonally past the shields. They banged on the ground and rolled far away. Various vehicles were also overturned. The blockbuster Xuanjun soldiers.
The man was lying on his back, and the sound of howling could be heard.
The war is undoubtedly tragic.
