Within the territory of Xirong, the Corrido region was named after its proximity to the Corridor River.
There are mountains and plains here, and it is not an important military area of Xirong. However, Su Yi's tribe has been active nearby recently.
The Qin army made a temporary camp, with falcons circling in the sky.
"Report~~~~"
A Snow Tribe spy hurried in, knelt down on one knee, stepped in and saluted, and said: "Commander Su, we have discovered the enemy situation. A Xirong army is coming towards Corrido, which is less than three days away."
"What's the opponent's military strength?" Su Yi asked directly.
"The specifics are unclear, but judging from the scale of their march, it should be no less than 20,000 people." The spy returned.
"Explore again."
"promise!"
Kuban is a walking road, and it is not divided into small groups like Su Yi. With the intelligence of the Qin army, it is not too easy to find out these.
Of course, due to the lack of detailed information from both sides, the Qin army was unable to know the specific situation of Kuban, let alone his military habits.
After the spies left, Goldman said tentatively: "Since there is an enemy situation and he will come for our army, then we will prepare in advance, occupy the important road halfway, and ambush him."
"It's useless." Su Yi shook his head, maybe due to physical reasons, he clenched his right fist again, put it under his mouth, coughed slightly, and said: "We are fighting in a foreign land, and the opponent knows this place better than us, and it's If you come here specifically for our army, you will definitely be wary of the main roads, this ambush will not have any effect."
Goldman paused.
Another general said: "Judging from the military situation, the opponent's number is not very large. If we don't have a decisive battle with them, with the courage of our soldiers, we can defeat the enemy."
"Yes, this should be the last force that King Xirong can mobilize, except for the Di and Qiang tribes. As long as they are defeated, our army can march straight in and capture Rongdu." Some generals agreed.
"Well..." Su Yi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "This is a bad idea. If there is a decisive battle, without fortifications, their cavalry will pose too great a threat to our infantry."
As he spoke, he turned his back to the generals and looked at the military map on the wall.
An excellent commander will consider all the conditions on the battlefield. There are too many vast plains in the Corridor area. The Qin army is confident in a decisive battle, but even if it wins, it will inevitably suffer serious losses and will no longer be able to capture Rongdu.
This is not what Su Yi considered.
Knowing that he was thinking about something, none of the generals dared to disturb him.
After a moment, Su Yi turned back, glanced at the generals and said, "Do you think Xirong knows my specific strength?"
Goldman Sachs said: "We have had several encounters with small units. From the marching traces, it is impossible for the other party to know that clearly."
"You are right, this is a point that can be exploited." Su Yi said: "Then I will ambush them as you said."
Hearing this, Goldman perked up and asked, "Then where will our army place its ambush?"
"Right here." Su Yi said concisely.
ah? When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Goldman Sachs was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion: "This, Commander Su, this place is really not suitable for setting up an ambush. General, did you hear me right?"
Their current location, firstly, is not on an important road, secondly, there are no steep mountains and valleys, and thirdly, the view is wide.
This is so inconsistent with the art of war that the generals will inevitably react this way.
Su Yi smiled slightly, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Don't panic, when the time comes, heroes will descend from the sky."
A hero descending from heaven? The generals became even more confused.
But before they could speak, Su Yi started to give orders directly:
"Goldman Sachs took charge and immediately ordered the soldiers to fill the bags with soil for later use."
"Yes." Although Goldman Sachs was puzzled, under the military order, he could only clasp his fists.
Su Yi continued: "When we faced the enemy, our army abandoned the camp and retreated to the middle section of the Corrido River."
Hearing this, some generals couldn't help but ask: "Commander Su wants to lure the enemy with a deceitful defeat?"
"certainly."
"But what if the Xirong army doesn't fall for it?"
"I have my own way to make him chase." After Su Yi finished speaking, he added: "In addition, send an order to Wang He, telling him not to stop at Quanqiu and to choose an opportunity to go north."
"No!" The general in charge of military intelligence immediately took the order.
After the military discussion ended, the generals of each department began to carry out their respective tasks in accordance with military orders, to deceive the enemy. The enemy might pursue him or not, but Su Yi was so confident.
And their place was not very far from Quanqiu. Through the falcon, the letter quickly reached Wang He.
At this time, Cuban was still on the march.
Wang He was overjoyed when he received this letter, because he had not wanted to stay in Quanqiu for a long time, but there was no order to transfer.
The five captains under him were also in the hall. Seeing this, one of them couldn't help but asked: "General, I wonder what Commander Su has ordered?"
Wang He glanced at the five of them and said, "Right now, Xirong has mobilized another force and is marching towards Corrido. Commander Su told us that we don't have to stop at Quanqiu anymore and can make our own decisions and choose the opportunity to go north."
"Okay!" After hearing this, the five thousand captains were equally excited. Someone said: "It is meaningless for our troops to stay in Quanqiu. Going north at this time can make great achievements!"
"General, please give the order!" Others also clasped their fists.
"Well..." Wang He nodded, walked to the sand table, lowered his head to look at it, and then said: "According to military information, Xirong can reach Corrido in up to three days, and within this time, if We can appear behind them without anyone noticing. At that time, whether we continue to go north and raid the Rong capital, or cooperate with Su Shuai to wipe out this Xirong army, it will be very feasible."
All the captains gathered in front of the sand table, also staring down. Someone said: "But the Inuqiu Road is winding. Even if our troops rush, I may not be able to make it in time."
"Then go in a straight line." Wang He said, pointing to a mountain range on the sand table: "As long as we climb over Baizhang Mountain, we can greatly shorten the distance."
He was right. From the map, the normal road curved for hundreds of miles. Going through this mountain and reaching the other side of the mountain in a straight line would save a few days of travel.
After going through it in their minds, all the captains nodded in agreement.
When Wang He saw this, he said no more and immediately said: "Okay, you go down and prepare immediately. Since we are walking on a mountain road, put down the unnecessary baggage as long as you can. The soldiers will carry their crossbows and weapons to win food."
"No!" The five captains clasped their fists together.
If you want to get behind Cuban, you have to grab time.
Wang He did what he said without any delay. After everything was ready, he led the army to set off on the same day.
Su Yi's order was to let him choose the opportunity to act, not to cooperate with the extermination, but to make his own decisions.
