To the right of Caizhou, there is a defensive stronghold of the Ling Army.
The general in charge of this place is named Feng Sheng. He is not a high-ranking general. He is just a junior general. However, he has been attacked the most recently.
Today, his men went out for inspection and were once again attacked by a small force of the Qin army. After the attack, Qin general Xu Rong led a group of troops and made a loud noise in front of the camp.
This kind of thing has happened many times. In the past six months or so, the Qin army has not stopped attacking the outer perimeter of Caizhou's defense line. As a result, the range of activities of the Ling Army in many places has been limited to the defense line.
Feng Sheng had a hot temper and wanted to fight the Qin army for a long time. However, there were strict orders from above to prevent him from leaving the wall.
But this time, he couldn't bear it any longer. It was just like near his home. People often cause vandalism and point at your door and shout wantonly. No one can stand it.
When his subordinates were attacked, he became furious. He immediately ordered the camp gate to be opened, led the troops out, and wanted to fight Xu Rong.
When the latter saw this, without saying a word, he turned around and ran away with the reins.
After taking advantage of this and leaving, Feng Sheng was not willing to follow him, but just when he was about to pursue him, the general beside him quickly stopped him and said in a hurry: "General, please don't be impulsive. Huang Shuai has already issued a military order to hold the entire front, and you are not allowed to attack without permission." ."
"Hold on, hold on! How long have you been holding on! How many of our brothers have been harassed and attacked by the Qin army. Every time, they come and leave when they want! If this continues, there will be no fight!"
Feng Sheng was furious. As he spoke, he pushed the general away, got on his horse, pointed his sword and said: "Cavalry troops, follow me to pursue the enemy! We must wipe out these Qin troops!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out at the lead. If the general tried to stop him, it was already too late, and Feng Sheng was the person in charge of this stronghold. After giving the order, the spirit cavalry behind him did not dare to neglect and followed closely. .
Xu Rong did not lead many men and horses, just a small force, so Feng Sheng only led more than 200 horses. Seeing that the Ling Army really chased them out, Xu Rong kept running away, and at the same time he became energetic.
The soldiers around him also said excitedly: "General, that guy Feng Sheng has been fooled!"
"Haha!" Xu Rong said happily: "It's been more than half a year, and there are always people who can't help it! Get out quickly and lure them over!"
The two sides started chasing each other, and the distance got closer and closer. Seeing the enemy in front, Feng Sheng couldn't help but pointed his sword, rode his horse and shouted: "Don't leave, rat!"
The cavalrymen behind them also became more energetic, and they all jerked their horses' buttocks and rushed faster.
But at this moment, there was a crashing sound in the woods on both sides of the road, and then, arrows shot out.
During the cavalry charge, an unknown number of people were hit by arrows. The horses neighed and fell to the ground. The soldiers were thrown away. There was a chaos in the flying dust, mixed with miserable howls one after another.
"There is an ambush! The Qin army has an ambush——"
Someone screamed in panic, but before the sound could be heard, they were already nailed into hedgehogs by random arrows.
Feng Sheng had already tightened his reins and waved his sword to block randomly.
There were only more than two hundred cavalry, and when they were ambushed, they couldn't withstand two rounds of arrows. Soon, the random arrows stopped, and shouts of death began. Countless infantrymen with halberds rushed out of the woods on both sides in an instant, all in one color. The black armor and red tassels, in a short time, had surrounded the remaining spiritual army.
Looking around, they were all densely packed with long halberds. The few remaining Lingguo cavalry were shocked. Where there was any resistance, they all looked around nervously.
"Put down your weapons! You may survive, otherwise, there is only death!"
A loud shout frightened the remaining spirit troops. Some people couldn't help but loosen their grip and dropped their weapons to the ground.
Feng Sheng stared forward, his eyes almost splitting: "Xu Rong! Rat—"
"Hahahaha——" Xu Rong heard this, looked up and smiled, and said: "Feng Sheng! General, I have been waiting for this day for half a year! Today, you finally came out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand directly: "Take them all!"
This is just a small battle in a certain stronghold and has no impact on the entire war situation.
The news of Feng Sheng's unauthorized attack quickly reached Huang Zu. After hearing this, the latter almost didn't even think about it and said: "Feng Sheng, a common man, is impulsive and gets into trouble. I have already said that you should not fall into the trap of luring the enemy." This was a good plan, but it cost me my own life."
"Shuai Huang is saying that Feng Sheng will definitely be ambushed?" A general couldn't help but ask.
"Does this need to be said?" Huang Zu said angrily: "The Qin army has no intention of attacking by force, but in the past six months, they have been harassing us, not just to lure us out of the defense line."
"Then...since General Feng is in danger, shall we mobilize troops to rescue him?" The general said again tentatively.
"What do you think?" Huang Zu glanced at him.
Everyone knows that if you mobilize the various ministries now, wouldn't it be tantamount to being truly deceived? The general realized what he meant, realized that he had made a mistake, and immediately became silent.
After saying this, Huang Zu sighed helplessly: "Oh! Feng Sheng, Feng Sheng, you are so stupid!"
On the other side, the Qin army camp.
The two sides of Qin and Ling have been facing each other for such a long time. Qin's food supplies and soldiers have been continuously replenished and have been within a sustainable range.
Now the Qin army's military discussions have focused on how to fight decisively and how to eliminate these 700,000 spiritual troops in Caizhou.
Because both sides have elaborate operations at home, Lingguo's actions cannot be hidden from Qinguo's informants. The enemy's army is short of food and grass, and there are many turmoils in the country. If it has been delayed so far, sooner or later, a final counterattack will be launched.
This is Xiao Yuan's strategic purpose this time, which is to force the spirit army to fight decisively.
Their 700,000-strong army is shrinking in defense and is difficult to fight. Only by forcing them out and turning into an active attack can the Qin army maximize its chances of victory.
Based on this issue, Xiao Yuan took the lead and said: "Lingguo can no longer sustain the duel in terms of national strength. It can be as short as a month or as long as two or three months. There will be a decisive battle. Therefore, all ministries should make all preparations and formulate a complete annihilation plan." The enemy's plan! We must not let these 700,000 spiritual troops leave Caizhou!"
As soon as he said this, Xu Rong came quickly. He smiled heartily, then clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty! The last general went to battle today and successfully lured the enemy, annihilated more than two hundred cavalry, and captured the thief general Feng Sheng. !”
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan said happily, "This is a bonus before the decisive battle! I will mark your contribution!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Xu Rong heard this, his face was filled with excitement. Having meritorious service and being praised by the king meant that to him, he was feeling elated.
Xiao Yuan praised him without hesitation and said: "Now that we have captured the enemy general, let's take him back."
"Yes!" Xu Rong responded, turned around and waved outward: "Hurry up!"
Following the words, Feng Sheng was dressed in the armor of a general of the Spirit Army and was brought up with five-flowered belts. As soon as he entered the tent, the two soldiers who were escorting him kicked his legs and wrists and shouted at the same time: "Kneel down!"
