On the Qin army's side, all the soldiers followed the commander without any dispersion.
The 120,000-strong army was active on the right side of the Baisha River. There were no camps. They rested wherever they went. After resting, they continued on their way. It seemed that they were trying to get rid of the pursuers behind them, but Su Yi was not in any panic. look.
A few days later, various units of the Spirit Army arrived at the corresponding locations in accordance with the combat instructions.
In the commander's tent, Huang Zu was looking at the military map. After a moment, he shouted directly: "The messenger!"
"exist!"
"Record the commander's military orders."
"yes!"
Huang Zu drew out his battle sword and started pointing at the map:
"Order, Liao Yaoguang's troops, take the lead in crossing the Baisha River, march sixty miles eastward, reach the right wing of the Qin army, and build a barrier."
"Order Wu Xiangming's troops to cross the river and advance northward."
"Order, Yin Dian's troops, to make a detour to the northeast and block the Qin army's continued northward path."
"Order, Zhou Jin's troops build a defense line along the east bank of the Baisha River."
Generally speaking, the Ling Army was still the same as before. It was impossible to surround the Qin Army in a dead end and build defense lines on all sides. If Huang Zu wanted to complete the encirclement deployment, he had to follow Su Yi across the river.
The situation on the battlefield has changed again. From the map, if the Qin Army is compared to a point, this point is slowly moving upward to the east of the Baisha River. The various encirclement and suppression arrows of the Ling Army are gradually crossing the river and forming The overall circle quickly shrinks toward the center.
But how could Su Yi let his encirclement be completed? He made a decisive turn from heading north to attacking southwest, preparing to complete the second breakthrough across the river.
The first time, he crossed from left to right, that is, eastward. This time, he crossed west, which is equivalent to fighting back to Jingyang area.
The strategic significance of this is mainly to involve Huang Zu's 400,000-strong army, so that all the spiritual troops have to follow him to prepare for the subsequent plan.
A few days later, Zhou entered the ministry.
Huang Zu's deployment this time was to have him deploy defenses along the east coast, which was equivalent to peripheral support.
After the last encounter, Zhou Jin still has lingering fears, but he is quite satisfied with receiving this task this time, because in his opinion, after Su Yi crosses the Baisha River eastward, the most likely possibility is to go south to find King Qin The main force, now heading north, can only want to break through from other places. There is absolutely no danger here.
But after all calculations, he never imagined that Su Yi actually killed a carbine.
The camp of the Spirit Army is still being set up here, and soldiers can be seen everywhere carrying wood and other things.
In the simple camp, Zhou Jin was drinking. He couldn't help but sigh: "Hurry up and encircle and suppress Su Yi. If Su Yi is not eliminated, our army will be restless."
"The general is right." The young general next to him said: "Now, Su Yi is heading north and there is no way out. Our army's encirclement and suppression troops are advancing from all directions. It won't take long before the war is decided."
"I hope so. Anyway, we can just stay here and wait for news." Zhou Jin felt relaxed.
But he didn't want to run into Su Yi, but God didn't want him to.
It seems that he was unlucky enough. Just when he was about to pick up the wine bowl and drink again, a soldier ran in in a panic. Before he arrived, he screamed:
"No, General! The Qin army is coming to kill us!"
"What!?" Zhou Jin stood up abruptly, not caring about drinking.
"Qin...Qin's army is coming!" the soldier repeated in a trembling voice.
oops! Zhou Jin screamed when he heard this, and his first reaction was to panic: "Withdraw! Get out quickly!"
"General." The young general reminded this time: "Shuai Huang ordered our troops to be stationed on the east coast. It would be difficult to explain if we just withdraw like this."
Of course, the encounter and the loss of the defensive line cannot be compared.
But now Zhou Jin has long been afraid of being beaten. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Can you defeat Su Yi's main force! If you don't retreat, not only will the defense line be lost, but our entire army will also be annihilated!"
"This..." The young general didn't know what to say.
"Oops! Withdraw! Withdraw quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!" Zhou Jin gave the order decisively without waiting for him to say anything else.
His 30,000 soldiers and horses had already lost nearly 10,000 in one encounter. How could he dare to stop now?
As the military order was issued, the Qin army had just launched an attack. The Ling army had directly given up its defense line and ran to the right, once again preparing to meet Liao Yaoguang.
This retreat was done in a hurry. Many of the soldiers who were still carrying the wood threw away their things and ran away, not to mention the food and grass baggage in the camp.
Zhou Jin ran, but Su Yi did not pursue him, so he entered the camp and prepared to cross the river for the second time.
Looking at the situation around him, Ning Zhan couldn't help but said happily: "This is the first time I encountered Zhou Jin in the wild. I didn't expect to meet him again this time. But this guy has learned to be smart. He knows how to retreat early and return it to us." There’s so much left behind.”
"Haha, that's good. Bring all the food and grass for the Spirit Army." Su Yi was also happy.
Not long after, another general walked over quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Su, I found that there is a pontoon bridge built by the Ling Army in the Baisha River."
"Okay, it just saves our army the preparation to cross the river." Su Yi said: "Send my military order that the entire army will not stay here. After crossing the river, all the pontoon bridges will be destroyed."
"No!" The general took the order and left.
The situation on the battlefield was very clear. For the first time, Su Yi took the initiative to attack the southeast and crossed the river to the right. The Ling Army followed. In the battle zone to the right of the Baisha River, they were about to shrink the encirclement, but Su Yi made another detour and came through the gap. Kill and come back.
This sounds simple, but in fact it requires very precise military judgment. A slight mistake can lead to death.
This shows Su Yi's commanding ability.
Since the encirclement and suppression began in early October, it is already November.
The news of Zhou Jin's ministry was sent back to the commander-in-chief. Huang Zu was furious again, and he stood up and asked sternly: "Let Su Yi run away again!?"
"This...yes, the Qin army appeared and disappeared, detouring from the north to the southwest, almost passing General Wu Xiangming, crossing the Baisha River and returning to the Jingyang war zone." The general in charge of military intelligence swallowed his saliva.
If the river is used as the boundary, now there are 400,000 spiritual troops on the right and the Qin army on the left.
"This is unreasonable!" The Ling Army once again missed the target. Huang Zu was already furious and immediately said: "Pass this commander's military order! Take Zhou Jin back to the camp immediately! Military law is engaged!"
"What's the crime?" the general asked tentatively.
"Don't you need to say this! He ran away from the battle!" Huang Zu said angrily.
Seeing that he was extremely angry, the general did not dare to plead for mercy, and quickly said respectfully: "Yes, I will go and deliver the order right now."
After he left, a civilian officer in the army stood up, raised his hands and said, "Shuai Huang, Su Yi has fought in many places and returned to Baisha. Although it is of little significance, it will tire out our army."
"Our army is tired, and the Qin army is like a lost dog!" Huang Zu said in a shocked voice: "No matter what, I will make it difficult for Su Yi to fly!"
