After the military discussion, everyone dispersed. Hardan walked with a military general and said worriedly: "What do you think?"
The Rong general glanced at him and said, "You and I both understand that there is no other way. Just wish yourself good luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away.
"This." Hardan stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh secretly.
At the same time, the Qin army camped on the southern front.
The Central Plains army, when marching and fighting, pays attention to strategy and tactics, and does not rely solely on bravery.
Forcing Baltu to return reinforcements, Xiao Yuan's strategic purpose has been completed. He said: "Next, no matter what military operations Xirong has, they will be controlled by our army and cannot be separated from two words, breakout."
"Therefore, the siege defense line must be made stronger, and the various departments must also achieve close cooperation."
Having said this, Shangguan Wenruo said: "Your Majesty, Baltu is now in a desperate situation. The morale of the Xirong army must be low. Perhaps we can force them to surrender without any bloodshed."
"It's useless." Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly: "This Baltu is the most solid fighting faction within Bai Rong. The possibility of surrender is almost zero. He will definitely resist and break through to the end."
After speaking, he waved his hand slightly.
Everyone understood and saluted together: "I'll take my leave——"
Two days later, Xirong's preparations were completed. Baltu divided the 50,000-strong army into four groups. The other three groups were each led by a Rong general. He and his deputy led the main force of 20,000 people.
At this time, three groups of soldiers and horses had attacked the Qin army's defense line from three different directions.
In Blackstone City, worried about defeat, the deputy general couldn't help but find Baltu: "General, Hardan and the others have begun to break out. It is not appropriate for us to stay here for a long time."
"Don't be anxious." Baltu said with a serious face: "Hadan and the others are marching from three different directions. It won't take long before the entire defense line of the Qin army is affected. When they are fighting fiercely, they will be my main force. The best time to break out.”
Upon hearing this, the deputy general couldn't help but glance at him secretly, and also understood Baltu's true intention.
It's completely nonsense to attack separately and then support each other after breaking through.
To put it bluntly, this is the last chance. Let the three groups of people attract the enemy first, so that you can choose the opportunity to escape.
The Qin army's camp and the Chinese army's tent.
Xiao Yuan, wearing brocade clothes and a jade hairpin, is behind the handsome case, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and reading a book.
The sound of footsteps was heard. Lin Chu entered, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Xirong has attacked from three sides and attacked many of my defense lines."
"Call the generals." Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips without any nonsense.
"No." Lin Chu bowed and retreated.
Not long after, all the generals gathered together, Xiao Yuan stood up directly, walked towards the sand table, and said straight to the point:
"Xirong divided its troops to break out. Baltu's decision was extremely wrong. It also gave us the opportunity to completely wipe out this Xirong army."
As he spoke, he pointed at the sand table: "Send an order to Nie Xing, asking him to support the northeastern and southeastern fronts while holding on to his headquarters."
"Tell Ning Zhan to focus on the northwest defense line and be careful to prevent the Xirong army from detouring northward."
"Keep an eye on Baltu's main force!"
"Each line of defense must destroy Xirong's breakout troops, and then shrink the encirclement toward Blackstone City."
After issuing a series of orders, he also glanced at the generals and said in a loud voice: "This battle is a key battle to eliminate the Bai Rong forces! If any of the generals escape from Baltu, they will lead the military law themselves!"
"No!" All the generals shouted in unison and clasped their fists.
Xiao Yuan was in charge of the central army and commanded the overall situation. In the afternoon, fighting broke out at various defense lines.
Before, Baltu couldn't break through even when he concentrated his forces. Now that he is dividing his forces, he will only become even weaker.
His three armies, each with only 10,000 men, could possibly tear a hole.
However, this was Xirong's last hope. Under the mobilization of the three generals, driven by the desire to survive, unprecedented combat power broke out.
This battle was far more brutal than before. The soldiers of the Qin army on all defense lines stood firm and refused to give an inch. It can be said that both sides were completely fighting for their lives.
Under Xiao Yuan's order, Nie Xing was not only responsible for the defense of the East Road, but also the mobilization of the Northeast and Southeast lines.
Based on the three-pronged battle situation, he quickly formulated a strategy of holding on to the southeast and destroying the enemy forces in the northeast first.
Northeast defense line.
The Qin army here has about 10,000 troops and is fighting fiercely with Hadan's Xirong soldiers.
There is actually no problem for the various defense lines of the Qin army to withstand Xirong's breakthrough, but Xiao Yuan has already issued the highest order to implement the annihilation plan.
This is a big battle. As for how each group fights, it depends on the command of each general.
According to Nie Xing's deployment, under the frontal defense of the northeastern line, a Qin army of 5,000 people had quietly circled behind Hardan.
Immediately, they launched front and rear double-teaming and side-attack tactics.
The Xirong soldiers, who had been unable to attack for a long time, began to be attacked from the back and front, and their right wing was pierced by a sharp knife. They did not hold out for long before they were defeated across the board.
This tactic is to give the southeastern front a dead order and must hold it. First, concentrate superior forces to destroy the enemy forces in the northeast, and then move southward in a roundabout way.
To put it simply, it was an encirclement and suppression campaign in batches.
The defeated Xirong soldiers scattered in panic and were forced to flee to a valley. Looking at the defeated soldiers around them and seeing the black armor and red tassels all over the mountains and plains, a Xirong young general couldn't help but screamed sadly: "General, the breakout failed. We have no hope..."
When Hardan heard this, he closed his eyes deeply, then fiercely drew out his scimitar, glared angrily, and shouted sternly: "Kill——"
This roar was full of final despair.
The Qin general in charge of encirclement and suppression looked cold and condescending, and waved his right hand directly: "Fire the arrow!"
There was a neat sound of armor clashing, and the Qin troops around the valley all loaded their bows with arrows, drawing them to full length in an instant.
A large rain of arrows came, flutter, flutter! The sound of arrows piercing flesh was mixed with screams one after another. Hardan still held his scimitar high, roaring and rushing to the front, constantly waving to block.
But he could block his head and chest, but not his abdomen and feet. Soon, a random arrow hit his thigh, causing him to stop moving.
And with one movement, his chest, shoulders, and abdomen were instantly nailed into a hedgehog!
The densely packed arrows were shocking. The scimitar in his hand still maintained the forward pointing position. Blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a pop.
"General -" the young general behind him yelled. He stepped forward in a panic and helped him up, but the arrows that followed also knocked him over on the spot.
There was no longer any suspense in this battle. Just as the soldiers of the Qin army were doing the finishing work, a messenger quickly ran over, knelt on one knee and said: "General Nie's military order, order our troops to go south immediately. Destroy the enemy forces on the southeastern front."
