Chapter 1158: Encirclement and annihilation of Yang Lin (Part 2)
For generals who command troops, having a strong opponent''s stimulation is undoubtedly a great improvement in their own abilities.
Yang Lin has been beaten since he met Bai Qi, and under this huge psychological pressure, his commander has been permanently increased by as many as 2 points.
Now Yang Lin''s commander attribute has risen from 93 at his peak to 95.
But facing Bai Qi, who is commander 103, 95 points is still useless. Yang Lin can barely compete with the city. Once he leaves the Yewang City, he still beats him up in various ways, and even an effective counterattack is difficult to achieve.
For Yang Lin, who was trapped in Sizhou, the only way to survive is to break the encirclement and break through Hangu Pass with Yang Guang, and then he can return to Guanzhong smoothly.
However, Bai Qi obviously knew this, so he would definitely set up an ambush on the way to Hangu Pass.
Yang Lin had fully appreciated Bai Qi''s power. He was not sure that under Bai Qi''s ambush, he broke through layers of ambush and arrived at Hangu Pass, so this road of life was almost blocked.
The trapping of Yewang City is a dead end, and taking back Hangu Pass is still a dead end. The Liang army seems to have fallen into a state of death without life.
Yang Lin was unwilling to fail like this. He racked his brains to think about the way to break the deadlock, and even his hair turned white. Finally, he came up with a way to die and survive.
The wild king''s food and grass are about to be exhausted and cannot be kept for a long time, and Hangu Pass is in danger and is destined to be difficult to reach. So it is better to change direction and enter Henan Yin, to disrupt Sizhou, and then raise food and grass on the spot to delay time.
The biggest crisis of the Liang army is about to be exhausted. Once the food is exhausted and the army has no food, the Qin army will not need to attack, and the Liang army will collapse on its own.
Therefore, for Yang Lin, the most urgent task is not to leave Sizhou, but to find life-saving food. Only by having enough food and grass, even if you stay for another year, Yang Lin is sure to do it.
The city of Luoyang is sufficient food and grass, which is enough for the Liang army to consume, but with the strength of Yang Lin, it is obviously impossible to capture Luoyang.
However, there are 21 cities in Henan Yin. If any city is captured, Yang Lin can collect grain from the people or even grab grain. This will not completely solve the food crisis, but at least he can survive for a while.
Yang Lin felt that with the power in his hands, it was impossible to escape successfully when facing Bai Qi, so he placed all his hopes on Yang Guang outside Hangu Pass.
As long as Yang Guang can persevere until he breaks through Hangu Pass, the dead end will become a way to survive. At that time, Yang Lin will naturally retreat to Guanzhong smoothly.
As for the lives of the people in the city, it is not something that Yang Lin can do. After all, he is unable to protect himself now. Between the lives of soldiers and the lives of the people, Yang Lin decisively chose the former.
After he decided to upset Sizhou, Yang Lin ordered the confiscation of all the food and grass from the people in the Yewang City, and after he held the Yewang for another ten days, he took all the food and grass to leave the city and fled at night.
Yang Lin pretended to go to Hangu Pass, but halfway changed direction and rushed eastward to Henan Yin.
Yang Lin thought that he gave up a more secure solution, but chose the plan of "putting it to death and living". Bai Qi was absolutely impossible for him, but he didn''t know that Bai Qi was also wary of him. Yang Lin was anxious to jump over the wall.
After Bai Qi realized that Yang Lin was about to abandon the city and fled, in order to prevent Yang Linyu from breaking the dead, he chose to deliberately let him lead the army.
Bai Qi had only a total of 60,000 troops. Since he was still uncertain about Yang Lin’s specific goals, he chose the most secure arrangement.
Bai Qi ordered Jiang Song to lead 20,000 troops to ambush the Hangu line, and ordered Ran Min to lead 30,000 troops to ambush the Luoyang line, while he personally led 10,000 troops, disguised as 30,000 troops, and posed as an illusion that the main force was still in the wild king.
As soon as Yang Lin left, Bai Qi then occupied the Yewang City. When he learned that Yang Lin had turned around, Bai Qi and Jiang Song''s army immediately surrounded him. Yang Lin did not easily fall into the trap, but instead wanted to ambush Ran Min''s army, but Ran Min was also extremely cautious and did not fall for Yang Lin.
Ran Min decisively gave up the ambush and retreated to the necessary road to enter Henan Yin, using the defensive fortifications built in advance and the advantages of the crossbow to temporarily block the Liang army.
Yang Lin launched several attacks, but under the sequel of the Qin army, they were all shot back.
Just as Yang Lin was considering whether to take a detour, he learned that Bai Qi and Jiang Song had already come up in the two directions behind.
Yang Lin, who faintly noticed that it was difficult to break through Ran Min in the short term, decided to choose a detour. After all, although the detour took two time, it would at least avoid the risk of being surrounded by three sides.
But what Yang Lin did not expect was that the Qin army still blocked the road after the detour. In order to avoid being surrounded, Yang Lin could only continue to detour. Anyway, the terrain of Sizhou was unavailable, and the Qin army was not sufficient. No matter how the encirclement was, Yang Lin could always get around.
In this way, Bai Qi, Ran Min and Jiang Song encircled Yang Lin''s Liang army from three directions, from the east, southwest and northwest.
After Yang Lin’s three detours, the Qin army’s encirclement had shrunk and smaller, and the living space was getting closer and closer, until Bai Qi took advantage of the terrain and was trapped at the junction of Hongnong at the Henan Yin.
After listening to Qin Hao''s explanation, all the generals were shocked when they heard it.
The 60,000 army besieged nearly 50,000 troops. Thinking about it, I know how difficult it is. Bai Qi''s troops must be extremely nervous now and are waiting for their support.
"The 60,000 army besieged and dealt with nearly 50,000 Liang troops. It was impossible to arrange everything in full, but Bai Qi has almost achieved perfection, and now we have to fill the last link of the encirclement."
After saying that, Qin Hao pulled out the Tianwen Sword from his waist and shouted, "The whole army went to war."
“Kill and kill…”
The 12,000 army made a roar like a shocking sound, and the whole army was full of morale. After leaving Luoyang, it headed straight for Hongnong battlefield.
Two days later, the junction of Henan Yin and Hongnong.
After getting rid of Bai Qi''s siege again, Yang Lin still led the army to constantly find a way out, but after several days of rushing marches, the entire army seemed extremely tired.
"General, the road ahead has been blocked by Ran Min again."
Yang Lin''s face turned pale when he heard this, and he quickly asked to his left and right: "How many days'' worth of food and grass are left?"
"It''s less than five days. If you save some food, you can still last for seven or eight days."
Yang Lin suddenly felt dizzy. After quickly stabilizing, he couldn''t help but mutter to himself: "The city closest to this place needs to be marched for two days, and if you detour, you will have to walk for four days."
Yuwen Chengdu heard that Yang Lin wanted to take a detour when he heard that Yang Lin was so serious that he looked at Yang Lin and said in a deep voice: "General Yang, you can''t forgive me anymore. If the road ahead is blocked again, our army will have no hope."
