Xuandi battlefield.
Sun Qi's intention to defend the war was very clear. Since Qingtian Pass could not be defended, let it lose something valuable, and use Ma Lin's death in exchange for favorable war time for his side.
Today, the fortifications are complete, and the defensive front stretches for dozens of miles, blocking many traffic passes. From the military map, this line of defense perfectly blocks the possibility of the Ling Army spreading to Xuandi.
At present, the Ling Army has entered Qingtian County and used this place as a base to attack Xuandi.
Many local people also fled backward with their families. Because the national customs of the Xuan Kingdom were very good, and Queen Xuan paid the most attention to morality and etiquette when she was in power, people had a strong sense of belonging.
However, Huang Zu didn't take these seriously at all. His expedition this time was also to establish the future military territory.
There are many soldiers in the county government, and in the hall, all the generals of the spiritual army are gathered together.
Huang Zu pressed his hands on the edge of the sand table and looked at it seriously.
On the sand table, the Qin army's defense line was clearly visible. Because of this, too many traffic arteries were blocked, which made Huang Zu frown all the time.
You know, when marching and fighting, without transportation strongholds, you can't transport food, grass, ordnance. Without these, you can't march.
The Ling Army wants to erode Xuandi, so this Jianyang defense line must be uprooted.
Seeing that he kept staring down, Ye Gui couldn't help but said: "What's Shuai Huang's plan?"
"It's difficult to handle." Huang Zu shook his head slightly, straightened up and said, "Sun Qi had deep ditches and high fortifications, and occupied the favorable terrain first. The entire defense line spanned more than sixty miles, and the various camps were interconnected. , deeply understand the essence of war defense."
"In the original battle of Puyang, the Jin army's defense line stretched longer and was equally impregnable. In the end, it was not washed away by a flood. We may be able to attack it at the right time." Some generals suggested.
Huang Zudao: "This cannot be compared. The Qin army today is condescending. From the terrain point of view, their entire defense line is more like a Great Wall that winds for sixty miles. Sun Qi has a good military strategy and will never make any mistakes. This is a taboo for military strategists, but it gives us the opportunity to take advantage of the weather.”
"Then attack! What's the use of talking nonsense!" Ye Gui interrupted impatiently.
Huang Zu glanced at him and said: "Our army suffered nearly 60,000 losses in a forced attack on Qingtian Pass alone. Now that we know that the opponent has a favorable location, it is not advisable to attack again with a short attack and a long attack."
"Moreover, your strong attack is exactly what Sun Qi wants to see most."
Hearing this, Ye Gui said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do! After all, there is no good way. Let me tell you, there are more than 300,000 soldiers in our Ling Army, which is more than three times the number of enemies. , I don’t believe that if we really fight, Sun Qi can withstand it.”
With such a personality and extremely high military rank, Huang Zu could only glare at him and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you!"
Before formulating good tactics, if we really have to attack the barrier so hard, the opponent will have an absolute advantage. Even if all the 100,000 Qin troops are wiped out in the end, there will probably be only a few left of the more than 300,000 spiritual troops. Maybe, you yourself will have to die first.
This was the last resort. Of course Huang Zu couldn't do this. What he was thinking about was a breaking point.
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Bu Shuo tentatively said: "Can we fully bloom, disperse the elite troops, cause fluctuations in the entire Qin army's defense line, and then find a weak point and choose the opportunity to attack fiercely."
This is a good suggestion. After Huang Zu thought about it for a while, he nodded and said: "Look for the weakness first, and then make a plan. This strategy is feasible, so let's do this first."
After saying that, he also stepped forward to the handsome case, looked around and said: "Generals, listen to the order!"
The generals on both sides trembled and looked at him.
On the Ling Army's side, after formulating the initial battle plan, they quickly implemented it. In the morning two days later, they began to attack the entire defense line of the Qin Army.
This war broke out in many places, and the battle lines stretched for dozens of miles. Generals from both sides personally directed the battles on the front lines, and battle reports from many places were continuously sent back to the commander.
The Qin army took charge of the stronghold.
"Report~~~~~"
"Reporting to Commander Sun, the southern front was attacked. General Ye Gui is leading his army to attack our fortress..."
Sun Qi waved his hand.
"No!" The soldier knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and left.
Immediately afterwards, another soldier ran in quickly.
"Reporting to Commander Sun, Shilinkou was attacked, and the spirit general Zhu Wei is leading his army to attack..."
Sun Qi waved his hand again.
"Report~~~~~"
"Reporting to Commander Sun, the Ling Army is launching a fierce attack on our northeastern line at Bohu Road..."
"Report..."
In a moment, there were already five or six soldiers running in. Every time, Sun Qi did not convey any orders, but only waved his hands to show that he understood.
Because his defense line is very tightly arranged and the coordination between the various barriers has already been arranged, no matter how large the Spirit Army's front line is, it will be impossible to penetrate in a short period of time.
At present, all the generals of the Qin army have already gone to the battlefield, and only Lu Fan and Sun Qi are left in the commander's tent.
Lu Fan, who served many times as the army chief Bo and secretary of the Dian army, can also be said to be a counselor. Of course, an army such as this kind of civil servant is indispensable. This time he went out with the army and was also transferred by King Xiao Yuan's order. .
After listening to the report just now, he frowned slightly at first, and then said tentatively: "Shuai Sun, it seems that this spiritual army has no intention of concentrating superior forces, but is going to fully bloom."
"The outbreak of war along the entire defense line is of no benefit to the Ling Army." Sun Qi said: "This is a bit like knowing that something cannot be done and doing it deliberately."
"Sun Shuai means..." Lu Fan's heart moved.
Sun Qi smiled and said: "Huang Zu knew very well that there would be no results in fighting like this, but he did it anyway. Why? There is only one reason. There is no doubt that he was looking for flaws in our army to see where the most vulnerable areas are. Good for the offense.”
"Hey... Sun Shuai's words make sense." Lu Fan took a breath and nodded in deep agreement.
Sun Qi added: "Since he wants to find a loophole, let's do what he wants."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Herald!"
"Commander Sun." The soldier entered, knelt down on one knee, and stepped in to salute.
"Immediately send my commander's military order to tell Qiao Xin that if you make a weak move, you don't have to fight too bloody. There will be an opportunity for the Ling army to take advantage of, but you must not lose it."
"Ah? This..." The messenger looked suspicious and felt confused. He thought there was something wrong with his ears.
We don't have to fight to the death and lose our defense. This is completely inconsistent!
Sun Qi did not explain, and continued: "Send the order to the second line in the south, and they all made a mistake."
"Order the southern front line to retreat from the enemy with difficulty."
He issued three orders in succession, and the ordering soldiers were dumbfounded. They stammered: "Commander Sun, my subordinate... did you hear it correctly?"
"Your ears are very good." Sun Qi said: "Did you hear everything clearly? Repeat it again if you heard clearly."
"Ah? Yes..." The ordering soldier was stunned for a moment, and then dictated the order.
After hearing this, Sun Qi saw that there was nothing wrong, so he waved his hand: "Yes, go quickly!"
"This... is." The coach was already sure, and the orderly didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only swallow, salute and retreat.
