The Ling Army failed to encircle the enemy for the second time and fell into the air again. There was no doubt that they all started to turn around again and follow Su Yi to cross the Baisha River to the west.
It was originally an encirclement and suppression arrow from left to right, but after a turn, it started from right to left again.
This is truly leading the way.
But Huang Zu had no choice. He wanted to encircle and suppress an army of 120,000 people. It was not possible with a small number of troops. He had to move all his troops together.
But this time, after Su Yi returned to the Jingyang war zone, not only did he not go to Jingyang City, but he also had no intention of running around anymore. Instead, he chose a place with better terrain and started to set up camp.
The manpower of 120,000 soldiers is so huge. They can cut trees up and down very quickly. Moreover, the troops have military tents and can be stationed on the spot.
It will take at least several days before the Spiritual Army arrives, and it will take some time to complete the encirclement and deployment. During this period, the simple camp has long been completed.
In the tent, Su Yi touched his chin and was looking at the military map.
He didn't speak, but someone couldn't help it and interrupted his train of thought: "Commander Su, what is the purpose of fighting back after we crossed east? The soldiers have been marching for many days and are already a little tired."
"It doesn't matter, aren't we setting up camp to rest?" Su Yi replied without even looking back.
Peng Shuang said: "But if we camp here, it won't be long before the Ling Army will surround this place. It's better to retreat to Jingyang."
"Haha." After hearing this, Su Yi smiled, turned around and said, "We just want the spirit army to surround this place."
"Su Shuai means..."
Su Yi did not explain, and said directly: "After all the ministries have rested, they will be mobilized and prepare to cross the river for the third time."
"You still want to cross the river?" All the generals were stunned.
"Why, I, the soldiers of the Qin Army, have never fought any kind of vicious battles. Can't we bear the pain of marching?" Su Yi glanced around.
"That's not what I mean, but..." Some generals hesitated to speak.
"Okay." Su Yi understood what he meant and interrupted him: "This crossing is very important, so don't slack off. Go down and prepare!"
"Promise." The generals had no choice but to accept the order.
Afterwards, Ning Zhan couldn't help but said: "Since we have to cross the river for the third time, do we still need to continue to build the current camp?"
"Of course, otherwise, why would the Spirit Army let you cross again?" Su Yi said concisely and to the point.
Here in the garrison camp, the Ling Army moved to battle one after another, and after the various ministries turned around, Huang Zu also received this information a few days later.
Spiritual Army Command Office.
A spy was reporting. When he finished, Huang Zu asked subconsciously: "You mean, the Qin army is camping in the Cangling area?"
"Yes." The spy returned truthfully: "Although my subordinates were not able to get closer, they also found out clearly that the Qin army's camp is not small, and there are many felled trees above and below. And near the gate of the camp, there are one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. , heavily guarded.”
"Hiss..." Huang Zu took a breath and said with a solemn expression: "So, Su Yi is preparing to build a barrier in Cangling and hold on to wait for help."
This is an obvious question.
However, the civil servants in the army said: "Since the Qin army is no longer running away and is preparing to wait for reinforcements, why not retreat to Jingyang and defend the city."
"There are still our garrisoned troops in Jingyang. In Su Yi's opinion, this is risky, and Cangling, depending on the terrain, will be better than the city." Huang Zudao.
After listening to these words, the civil servant also nodded slowly and agreed: "Huang Shuai's words make sense."
Huang Zu thought for a while and said decisively: "Since Su Yi dares to defend, he must have asked the King of Qin for help. No matter what, we must surround him in Canngling before Qin's reinforcements arrive!"
"Instruct all the troops to speed up the march!"
"Order Wu Xiangming's troops to station troops on the northern line of Cangling, and at the same time, control the Qin army's westward escape route."
"Order Liao Yaoguang to station on the southern line of Cangling."
"Command Yin Dian to control the east of Cangling."
This deployment was simple and clear, and directly formed a situation of surrounding Canngling.
Huang Zu believed that Su Yi had turned to the main force of the King of Qin for help, and Qin's reinforcements might arrive, otherwise, he would not be stationed in Canngling.
In order to confuse the Lingjun, Su Yi did send a letter to Xiao Yuan, asking for the deployment of troops as a pretense of support.
A few days later, the Ling Army began its initial deployment to Canngling. At the same time, intelligence came that the main force of the King of Qin had been divided into supporting troops.
After Huang Zu learned about it, he already thought that Su Yi was really going to make a final stand in Cangling, so he accelerated the encirclement without saying a word.
After completing this, he immediately summoned the generals and held a crucial military discussion.
Judging from the scene, the 120,000 Qin troops in Canling have become turtles in the urn.
This military discussion was mainly about formulating a battle plan.
Huang Zu did not sit in the command position, but stood in front of the military map. After looking around for a week, he pointed his sword sideways at the map and said directly: "Instruct Wu Xiangming and Liao Yaoguang to launch an attack simultaneously from the north and south at midnight tomorrow."
"Send orders to Yin Dian to advance quickly, break through the eastern defense line of Cangling, arrive in front of the Qin camp, and join forces with Liao Yaoguang."
After saying this, he added: "According to our army's intelligence, King Qin's reinforcements are now dispatched. Therefore, Su Yi must be completely eliminated before they arrive!"
After the order was issued, a civilian officer in the army stood up and said tentatively: "Shuai Huang, since King Qin's reinforcements are coming, why don't we take this opportunity to ambush him halfway."
"Well..." Huang Zu pondered for a moment and said, "This idea can be implemented. You might as well give it a try and set up an ambush on Funan Road."
"Huang Shuai is wise." The civil servant saluted.
This is a simple attack plan, using almost 400,000 spiritual troops to fight a large-scale encirclement, suppression and annihilation battle in Cangling.
With the transmission of the highest military order, various departments of the Spiritual Army began to make final preparations for the war, and the generals were full of confidence.
They have surrounded the Qin army in Canngling, so they naturally have this mentality of winning.
At Chen time the next day, the Ling army deployed on multiple fronts and began to launch a full-scale attack.
I thought that this would be a fierce battle. There must be a line of defense blocking the Qin army's camp and a fierce battle would be necessary to break through. However, as soon as the war drums sounded and they arrived at the battlefield, the Ling army collectively shouted and charged, but they were all dumbfounded.
There was no trace of the Qin army in the defense line.
Such a strange scene made the soldiers of the Ling Army look left and right, holding their swords in hand.
"What's going on!?" The spirit general asked.
"Here, there's no Qin army here..." someone stammered.
General Ling was also full of doubts. After thinking for a moment, he immediately shouted: "Keep fighting in!"
This is just one corner of the battlefield, there are many more places where this happens.
By noon, Liao Yaoguang's department.
At this time, he had already advanced to the front of the Qin army's camp.
Looking from a distance, there are many armored soldiers standing on the wall of the village, all holding halberds in their hands, looking heavily guarded.
Liao Yaoguang didn't say anything, and waved his hand directly: "Fire the arrow!"
Arrows are coming.
Plop, plop!
In an instant, a large row of them had been shot, but even though the 'soldiers' above were covered with arrows, they still stood there motionless and did not even let out a miserable howl.
