"General, signs of enemy activity have been found east of Black Rock."
"General, there are enemy troops in the northeast of our army..."
Spies came one after another. Shocked, Baltu hurriedly walked to the map and began to search back and forth on it with his fingers.
After a moment, he turned around and looked at the generals, seemingly incredulous: "Our army is surrounded?"
ah? Hearing this, all the soldiers were shocked and couldn't sit still.
"General, this."
"How can this be……"
"Where did the Qin army come from? Yang Heng cannot have so many troops..."
"Don't panic!" Baltu raised his hand and stopped the noisy scene. After calming down for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Our attention is all on Yang Heng. We expected that the Qin State must have increased its troops. , but how did they complete these deployments without anyone noticing."
"And the Qin State only had one supply of food and grass, and it was cut off by our army. This is too abnormal."
Due to the existence of Qin Pass, Xirong cannot enter the Central Plains at all. Therefore, even if Xiao Yuan mobilizes hundreds of thousands of troops to the pass, as long as he does not attack, Xirong will not know it immediately.
This is the intelligence gap.
The 100,000 soldiers of the Qinzhou camp had been standing still, waiting for the time to come, and quickly attacked from Qinguan without any trace of other activities, and rushed directly to the strategic location.
This is similar to a lightning attack. In terms of military situation, by the time Xirong reacts, the deployment has been completed.
Now, facing the issue of encirclement, Baltu had to re-examine the battle situation, and the generals were even more panicked. Some people said anxiously: "If the situation is true, our army is surrounded by enemies on all sides, what should we do next. "
"I told you not to panic!" Baltu was very upset by this feeling of being at a loss. After glaring at the general, he looked around and said, "The war is at this point. The only way is to seek a breakthrough. Since Yang Heng’s troops are not large to begin with, we can concentrate our advantages and march south to defeat Yang Heng!”
"When the time comes, you can choose whether you jump out of the encirclement and circle back, or attack Qinguan in the southeast direction."
Being surrounded, finding a point to open an opening was an inevitable military action. All the generals had no other choice but to look at each other and agree.
Baltu did not intend to sit back and wait for death. He prepared to break out to the south and continue to fight Yang Heng. After making the decision, he also personally took command, gathered 50,000 troops, and headed south out of the city. The other nearly 30,000 Western soldiers were left behind in Black Rock City. .
This is a retreat that a general must consider. If the breakthrough fails, he can retreat safely.
Two days later, south of Black Rock.
At present, the Qin army's camp has been set up long ago, with walls and guard horses on both sides of the gate. The entire camp relies on the favorable terrain. As long as Xirong dares to attack hard, they will definitely suffer a head-on attack.
Fifty thousand Xirong troops have already arrived in front of the camp.
Based on the military intelligence of the Qin Army, it was natural that the news had already been detected. At this moment, Xiao Yuan and a group of generals were standing on the wall of the stronghold, observing the Xirong army.
The opponent's formation has infantry in the center, with cavalry on the left and right wings. The 50,000-strong army can't be seen to the end at a glance, and the scene is extremely huge.
After observing, Yang Heng said subconsciously, "This should be Baltu's main force."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "How about it? Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"
"Of course!" Yang Heng clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the morale of the soldiers is as high as a rainbow. As long as Xirong dares to attack, there will be no return!"
Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "In this siege, the defense lines must not waver in any way. No matter where Baltu breaks through, his spirit must be defeated! The morale of the Xirong soldiers will be completely destroyed!"
There was a certain buffer zone between the two sides. Baltu did not launch a strong attack as soon as he came up. Instead, he sent out a general in advance and called for formation in front of the camp.
Similarly, he also wanted to weaken the Qin army first, or to test it, and prepare for the next all-out attack.
The Rong general took the order, shook his reins, mounted his war horse, and within a stone's throw outside the camp, he began to raise his sword and shout:
"Listen, little thief of Qin Army!"
"I urge you to surrender immediately!"
"Open the Qin Pass and offer the girl from the Central Plains! Only then can we avoid this disaster!"
"Otherwise, when the camp is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
The generals were so arrogant that they became angry. Peng Shuang was so angry that he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty! The last general is asking for your orders!"
When the two armies are fighting, morale comes first. If they are allowed to shout, the soldiers will inevitably be depressed. Xiao Yuan did not talk too much and pointed directly at the general below: "Behead this thief quickly!"
"I have the order!" Peng Shuang raised his knife and made a fist, then walked quickly down the wall of the village.
The village gate opens.
"drive!"
The war horse galloped out, and in the sunlight, the long sword as tall as a person shone with an icy cold light.
The momentum of such a fierce general who has traveled across the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles is undoubtedly intimidating.
Na Rongjiang's heart tightened inexplicably, he stopped shouting, and frowned unconsciously.
The war horse under its crotch seemed to feel the power of the tiger general, and it stamped its hooves uneasily and hissed lowly.
The general lowered his head, confused by the behavior of the war horse. When he raised his head again, Peng Shuang had arrived fiercely, and his long sword brought a cold light and came down on his head.
The wind is blowing!
Rong Jiang subconsciously screamed, his eyes widened in an instant, his sword crossed, and he instinctively wanted to take the blow forcefully.
There was a clang, a harsh sound of gold and iron, and Rong Jiang felt his arms go numb, his shoulders instantly slumped, his jaws trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand.
ah! ? His expression changed instantly, and his eyes showed deep fear.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength was so amazing, but before he could react, Peng Shuang suddenly changed his stance after striking out with his sword. With one wrong move of his hands, he swept his sword directly towards the general's neck.
The latter's pupils contracted violently.
The edge has arrived.
With a pop, blood sprayed out, and the severed head was thrown away and rolled to the ground.
The headless body fell off the horse and kicked up a cloud of dust.
The general's war horses were also frightened, neighed and ran away.
After beheading the enemy general, Peng Shuang held the reins in his left hand, pointed the sword at the Xirong army in his right hand, and shouted loudly:
"Xirong rats! Who dares to come out and fight me!"
The shouts spread to the other side, and at the same time, the Qin soldiers on the wall raised their swords and shouted in unison, boosting their morale.
Xiao Yuan said quietly: "My general is here, and Xirong is still selling his head."
On the other hand, Xirong was shocked for a long time. One of the generals even stammered: "Ke...General Ke was actually beheaded by a horse. This, this, it is impossible for Yang Heng's men to have such bravery." General."
Baltu's face was extremely ugly. He couldn't help but pointed at Peng Shuang on the field and asked sternly: "Who is coming!"
"I am General Peng Shuang!"
The latter pulled the reins slightly, the horse stepped back and forth, and the long knife was still bleeding.
