Qin Gong

Ten miles away from Pengcheng, Bai Yan rode on horseback and listened to his cronies coming to report. When he learned that Kou Zhuang had succeeded in the south, the last condition of the entire plan had been fulfilled.

"General, the Chu army has been spotted five miles away! Chu troops are deployed in the direction of Peiyi and Dangshan!"

A cavalry soldier hurriedly rode up to Bai Yan and handed him a report.

Bai Yan was not surprised when he heard this.

On the contrary, Xiao He on the side looked at Bai Yan in surprise after hearing the words of his confidant, and then looked at the soldiers curiously.

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are?"

Xiao He asked cautiously.

Seeing Xiao He speak, the soldiers glanced at Bai Yan and found that Bai Yan had no objection, so they didn't hide anything.

"The central army has [-] Chu soldiers. There are about [-] Chu troops in the direction of Peiyi and [-] Chu troops in the direction of Dangshan!"

The soldier said to Xiao He.

When Xiao He heard this, his eyes widened in an instant, and he turned to look at Bai Yan with disbelief on his face. His expression was as shocking as he wanted.

The reason is that whether Pengcheng guard Huang Ye will send troops, when he will send troops, how many troops he will send, and how he will deploy troops, Bai Yan predicts almost every aspect accurately without any deviation!

If Xiao He hadn't followed Bai Yan, and if he hadn't known that Huang Ye was a famous general in Chu State, Xiao He would have doubted whether Bai Yan ordered Huang Ye's reinforcements.

Xiao He's appearance fell into the eyes of Mang who was riding a horse beside him, and Mang was quite proud. Although there was not much smile on his burly cheeks, his eyes were obviously saying, see how powerful the general is!
He didn't know about the planning of leading troops, but he knew that if he followed the general, he would do whatever the general said. There was no need to doubt him, and he would not doubt it either.

"How did the general know about Huang Ye's deployment of troops?"

After Xiao He saw the cavalry leaving, he couldn't help it anymore and asked while following Bai Yan.

Jiu on the side couldn't help but turned his head curiously and looked at Bai Yan. Jiu was also very curious in his heart.

When Bai Yan saw Xiao He's appearance, he explained to Xiao He.

"Huang Ye is known for his prudent leadership. He once said drunkenly that he regretted that he could not fight with Li Mu. Therefore, I only brought three thousand cavalry with me. Huang Ye's temperament allowed him to huddle inside the city gate and let the three thousand cavalry go. Besieging the city is tantamount to humiliating Huang Ye. Even if Huang Ye hesitates, once it exceeds half an hour..."

Bai Yan then looked at Xiao He: "There will be spies spreading rumors in Pengcheng! If Huang Ye's character is not strong, how could he lead the Chu army to defend Pengcheng."

"Then why did Huang Ye transfer all his troops away from Pengcheng?"

Xiao He naturally knew what Bai Yan meant. Xiao He did not expect that there were so many mysteries behind each incident. Bai Yan's attack on Pengcheng was probably not a sudden move.

But Xiao He still didn't understand why Huang Ye not only sent out all Chu's army, but also divided his troops.

"Although Huang Ye has a strong heart, his troops are extremely stable and will be wary of changes. Now I am leading the cavalry to attack from Daliang. The schedule is not what Huang Ye expected. Therefore, Huang Ye learned that it was me who personally The leader of the army was afraid of fraud. He was worried that once Pengcheng was besieged after leaving the city, the Chu army would be cut off. Therefore, he sent troops out of the city as a precaution. No matter whether the frontier cavalry detoured from Daliang to Peiyi or Dangshan, they would be defeated by the Chu army. Block.”

When Bai Yan said this, he looked in the direction of Pengcheng. Just like when he led the troops, no matter where he was, Shanwu or Woyang, he would not say that there were any troops left in the city. No general would Like him, in such a situation, there would not be many soldiers left in the city.

What's more, in addition to the scouts, Chu State also had Changping Lord secretly helping Chu State so that Chu State could get information about him.

"As long as Bai Yan is here, in Huang Ye's eyes, even if the other two roads suffer huge damage, it will be worth it!"

Bai Yan couldn't help but sigh, face can really destroy a person sometimes. From the beginning of this war, Huang Ye lost face. If Huang Ye could withstand the criticism of others and endure the words of the past mentioned by outsiders, Laughing at his old friends and colleagues, Huang Ye would not lose this battle.

But there are only a few people in the world who can do this.

Many people tend to get extremely angry when they are ridiculed. Extremely rational people may be able to tolerate and restrain themselves. However, once they, close friends, and other close people are ridiculed, many extremely rational people will become extremely angry. , it is easy to lose their minds and become irrational.

Bai Yan felt this very much when he was a child.

Therefore, Bai Yan never worried that Huang Ye would not leave the city. Huang Ye was a disciple of the Huang family, a powerful family in Chu State. When he was born, he was destined to be of a higher status than ordinary people. Farmers were even more incomparable. He was a superior person.

People with such a background pay attention to fame and reputation. No matter how humble they are on the surface, they are extremely proud in their hearts. Since Huang Ye has been leading the army, although the wars of the Chu State are not as good as those of the Qin State, every time Huang Ye leads the army, he is always proud of himself. Then they all win.

"I see!"

After listening to Bai Yan's explanation, Xiao He nodded in a daze. Looking at Bai Yan, Xiao He finally understood why the world scolded Bai Yan but had to admit that Bai Yan was a famous general.

If Xiao He hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiao He would not have believed it. After each incident, Bai Yan planned it in such detail. Huang Ye's reaction from the beginning to the end was expected by Bai Yan, or Bai Yan deliberately went south to let Huang Ye had no chance to react, so Huang Ye had to leave the city and be prepared.

How could Huang Ye have any chance of winning in such a situation!

Think of these.

Xiao He couldn't help but sigh. Before that, he had wanted to help Bai Yan attack Pengcheng and make suggestions. However, only now did he realize how big the gap between him and Bai Yan was in terms of leading troops.

In fact, it was not just Xiao He who was feeling emotional. As a cavalry general, Jiu was much more deeply moved and shocked than Xiao He.

After all, Xiao He is a person who has never been a leader in the battlefield, let alone the battle of Jingxing. Compared with the battle of Jingxing, I feel that the plan of Pengcheng is more complicated than that of Jingxing, and the preparation time is also longer. It will take longer, and there will even be an extremely quick response and decisive execution. For example, Huang Ye never expected that they would arrive in Xiao County so soon from the beginning to the end.

And there is another point that is more important, and the most critical, is that the success or failure of this plan, or the reason why this plan was possible, is not due to the general, but to Huang Ye as the enemy.

At this time, Jiu remembered what Bai Yan once said: "The victory is better than the battlefield."

After half an hour.

Dangjiu and Xiao He were still thinking about what Bai Yan said and the key points of the entire layout.

At this time, they had already seen the Chu army in the distance. Even though they were far away, at a glance, they both could clearly see that Chu General Huang Ye had already arranged the military formation and was waiting to meet the cavalry. , seems to want to experience the charge of the cavalry.

"Go and tell Huang Ye, the Chu general on the other side, that I am passing through Pengcheng and heading to Surabaya. Can you use Pengcheng to pass by?"

Bai Yan rode his war horse and said to the cronies beside him.

"promise!"

When a close aide heard Bai Yan's words, he rode his horse without hesitation and galloped towards the Chu army in the distance.

Beside Bai Yan and behind him, three thousand cavalry soldiers held Changge and black flags with the word Qin in their hands. They looked quietly and patiently at the Chu army in the distance. Even though the Chu army numbered 2, not a single cavalry soldier panicked or even showed any signs of panic. The meaning of fear and withdrawal.

This is the biggest difference between elites and ordinary cavalry. It is also the most elite and most loyal family left behind after Bai Yan has gone through bloody battles.

"General, looking at the formation of the Chu army, Huang Ye has quite a lot of experience in guarding against cavalry!"

Jiu, riding a war horse, glanced at the military formations of the Chu Kingdom in the distance, and couldn't help but speak.

From the moment he saw the Chu army, Jiu had been looking for a breakthrough point for the Chu army, whether it could be divided or shot. However, after looking at it for a long time, after thinking of all the previous methods, Jiu had to admit that Huang, the leader of the Chu army, The formation formed by Ye is indeed the most stringent defense for the cavalry. The combination of Chang Ge, curved bow and shield can form a defense, and Chang Ge also has the opportunity to counterattack.

This is the first time Jiu has seen such a military formation.

This actually made Jiu a little curious about the Chu general Huang Ye, whom he had never met before.

"Huang Ye dares to say that he regrets not having to fight with Li Mu. He certainly has his abilities. I'm afraid he has been practicing how to deal with cavalry in military formations for many years."

Bai Yan heard what Jiu said, looked at the Chu army in the distance, and said.

After waiting quietly for a while, under Bai Yan's eyes, the cronies quickly rode back.

"General, Huang Yeyan, the general of Chu, said that the Nine Cauldrons falling into Surabaya were given to Chu by God. How could Qin get it? If Qin wants to seize it, he will not hesitate to test the edge of Qin's sword. The general can do it!"

The cronies raised their hands to Bai Yan to report.

After hearing the words of his confidant, Mang stared straight at the Chu army in the distance.

"General, I am willing to lead the troops to chop off the head of Huang Ye!"

He opened his mouth and said.

Listening to Huang Ye's arrogant and provocative words, a trace of obsession with Huang Ye's head slowly emerged in his heart.

"Not urgent!"

Bai Yan did not let him attack the Chu army. He just sat on his horse and looked straight at the Chu army in the distance. Moreover, among the Chu army, he vaguely saw a commander's chariot accompanying him. Watching the Chu State flag fluttering, I kept looking over here.

In the face of Bai Yan's childhood experiences, Huang Ye's seemingly provocative words were indifferent to Bai Yan and even hardly caused any trouble.

Jiu and Xiao He on the side were not that impulsive. After learning about Bai Yan's plan, they both followed Bai Yan and patiently looked at the Chu army in the distance.

………………

In the Chu army.

On the general's chariot, Huang Ye was wearing armor and holding a sword. He held the wooden boards of the chariot with both hands and frowned as he looked at the Qin cavalry in the distance. "General, why is the Qin army's cavalry motionless and showing no signs of attacking? Could it be that when Bai Yan saw the general's formation, he wanted to retreat?"

Seeing this, a Chu general riding a horse on the side turned to look at Huang Ye on the chariot.

In fact, it was not just this Chu general who was confused. Even Qiu Jiaxian and other Chu generals looked at the Qin cavalry in the distance with doubts on their faces. They had already led their troops here and did not start a battle. What does this mean?

You know, they had heard that when the Qin State came to the county, Bai Yan commanded more than 15 cavalry and dared to stop [-] Yuezhi and Xiongnu in the north alone.

Bai Yan's cavalry became famous all over the world in the first battle.

Although there are 2 of them now, with the elite of those cavalry, they should never say that they don't even try to attack.

"No, since Bai Yan has led the troops here, there is no way to give up. I'm afraid Bai Yan must have something up his sleeve!"

Huang Ye stood in the chariot and looked at the cavalry in the distance. Compared with what others said, Huang Ye began to feel vaguely worried when he saw the actions of Bai Yan and the cavalry in the distance.

Bai Yan can become a famous general and has fought against Li Mu, so he cannot be a mediocre person.

At first, Huang Ye thought that Bai Yan wanted to rely on the elite and brave Qin cavalry to break through the Chu army under his command with one blow. However, in the current scene, Bai Yan obviously did not have this purpose or plan.

Something is fishy and there must be a plan.

Huang Ye frowned, feeling vaguely worried in his heart, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start. Looking back on all his deployments, whether it was to lead the troops here, or to prepare for the direction of Peiyi and Dangshan in advance, they had all been done. At the best, Huang Ye felt relieved. No matter what Bai Yan's plans were, as the military book said, remain unchanged in the face of all changes!
After a while.

"General, please give me orders to lead the troops to fight the Qin army!"

Qiu Jia waited for a long time and saw that the Qin army still showed no intention of starting a war, so he turned around, raised his hands to Huang Ye and said.

"No, when Bai Yan's plan is not revealed, it is not advisable to act rashly and wait for it to change."

Huang Ye refused and did not let Qiu Jia lead his troops to attack first.

Now is not the time, Huang Ye is also guessing Bai Yan's purpose, just now he deliberately provoked that Qin general Bai Yan, unexpectedly Qin general Bai Yan was unmoved.

However, Huang Ye didn't mind waiting until the specific news came. Now Qin general Bai Yan is on a long-distance raid, but he has always been waiting for work at leisure. The last thing he is afraid of is delaying time.

Under the scorching sun.

Huang Ye stood patiently on the chariot, following Chu Qi as the wind on the plains continued to blow.

Gradually, an hour passed, and most of the Chu soldiers in the Chu army began to become impetuous.

Another half hour passed.

Not to mention the vague chatter among the soldiers of the Chu State, many generals of the Chu State frowned and looked at the Qin cavalry in the distance, and then looked at each other.

"General, attack!"

Qiu Jiaxian naturally noticed the current morale of the army, so he stepped forward and asked for orders again.

Huang Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally thought about it. He looked at the Qin State cavalry in the distance with puzzled eyes, and still hesitated. From the beginning to the present, Bai Yan's actions made Huang Ye more and more premonition that Bai Yan must Have a plan.

But looking at the morale of the soldiers, they began to feel a little impetuous.

"Is there any news from the direction of Peiyi and Dangshan?"

Huang Ye looked at the scorching sun, turned his head and asked Qiu Jia first, his heart full of worry.

"General, there is no news!"

Qiu Jia shook his head first.

Huang Ye heard Qiu Jiaxian's words and looked at Qin Jun in the distance.

"What exactly does Bai Yan want?"

Huang Ye was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to reach out and pull out the sword.

Since Bai Yan has been motionless, he will try what Bai Yan is capable of.

"The whole army obeys the order, relies on the cavalry, simplifies the whole army, and attacks!!!"

Huang Ye pointed his sword in the direction of the Qin army's cavalry and roared from left to right.

Looking at the place in the middle of the Qin army in the distance, Huang Ye's eyes were full of scorching heat. At the beginning, Bai Yan and Li Mu fought against each other. Although it was only a simple one, it made Bai Yan famous all over the world.

If he can defeat Bai Yan here today, wouldn't it prove that he is no weaker than Bai Yan, or even stronger.

And Bai Yan, who had even been able to fight against Li Mu without losing, was defeated by him...

Huang Ye couldn't help but breathe quickly when he thought about it.

dong dong dong~
Following Huang Ye's order, the Chu army beat the drums to the same name. Amidst the continuous sound of the drums, all the generals of Chu saw the soldiers holding the order flags, and they were riding horses while waving the order flags.

see.

The Chu generals turned around one after another, drew their swords, and directed the Chu army to change formations.

In an instant, the original square formations began to change one by one, and the Chu soldiers began to move around, and soon a new offensive formation would be formed.

The chariot that Huang Ye was standing on also began to slowly follow the army and move towards the Qin army.

At this time, suddenly a cavalryman in the distance hurried towards the chariot.

"Report, General, it's bad, news came from the direction of Piyi, Qin Army scouts were found!"

The cavalryman came to Huang Ye in a hurry and reported to Huang Ye.

Hearing this, Huang Ye immediately looked at the cavalryman in confusion, Pi Yi?
How could there be Qin army scouts in the direction of Piyi?That's all the territory of the Chu State. How could the Qin army have any scouts there? Where did the Qin army go around?

"No! It's Pengcheng! Send people back to defend Pengcheng quickly!!!"

Although Huang Ye didn't understand why there was a Qin army, he suddenly realized that Bai Yan's target was probably Peng Cheng. His expression changed and he quickly ordered.

However, Huang Ye didn't notice at this moment. As his exclamation sounded, all the Chu soldiers around him showed some worried expressions after hearing it.

The rumor that "the Qin army will definitely come to fight for Jiuding" that Huang Ye, and even all the Chu generals and generals did not take to heart, is now accompanied by the traces of the Qin army east of Pengcheng and the direction of Piyi. In Hubei, where the Chu soldiers were dying, almost every Chu soldier who heard about it began to feel restless.

"promise!"

Qiu Jiaxian naturally realized that there were not many guards in Pengcheng and he had to go back to defend immediately, so he quickly accepted the order.

However, Qiu Jia was just about to leave, and before the sound of drums changed, he saw another hurried Chu soldiers coming on horseback.

"Report!!! General, Pengcheng has been attacked. All the north gates are Qin flags! There is thick fog everywhere in the city, and the city gates have been closed!!!"

A Chu soldier hurriedly came to Huang Ye and reported to Huang Ye.

"impossible!"

After receiving the news, Huang Ye looked at the Chu soldiers in disbelief. How could there be Qin soldiers in the city?
fraudulent?

No, Qin General Bai Yan was attacking Wei Guo Liang before, and he never received news that the Qin army was going south. This is not a fraud...

But there is really a Qin army, who has used some method to sneak around Pengcheng and attack Pengcheng.

"Grain and grass baggage!"

After reacting, Huang Ye's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the Qin cavalry in the distance. Only then did Huang Ye understand why Qin general Bai Yan didn't rush to attack at all.

Huang Ye suddenly became desperate when he thought that Pengcheng's food and grass supplies had been burned by the Qin army.

"General, no, those Qin army cavalry seem to be preparing to block our army's retreat!!!"

A Chu general suddenly noticed that the Qin cavalry, which had been motionless, suddenly began to move, and said quickly.

How could Huang Ye not see it? Looking at the actions of the Qin army's cavalry in the distance, Huang Ye realized at this moment that they might not be able to return to Pengcheng, and Bai Yan wanted to drag them with him.

I stayed up late for the third update. I was too sleepy, so I went to bed first!Will continue to make updates tonight.
