Chapter 1290: Thousand miles to the Zhenbei Pass (Part 1)
Chapter 1288: Turning to Zhenbei Pass for thousands of miles (Part 1)
What Gao Chong and Jiang Song didn''t know was that Bai Qi''s calmness was actually pretending to be, and he was actually panicked in his heart, but he believed in the judgment of the lord and the military advisors, so he exposed himself so proudly.
"Report to the Grand Governor... Report to the Grand Governor, after Murong Chui learned about our army''s intelligence, he not only did not lead the troops to attack, but instead reduced his troops to the surrounding Yinshan City."
"What?"
Jiang Song and Gao Chong both showed surprise, and Bai Qi felt relieved.
This news came in time, and Bai Qi almost broke his efforts.
"Murong Chui has an army of 200,000. Instead of taking the initiative to attack, he shrinks his troops. Is he stupid?"
Gao Chong expressed difficulty in understanding this. He really couldn''t understand what these famous generals were thinking.
"Maybe Murong Chui just wanted to concentrate his troops and then eat it in one bite at Yinshan City." Jiang Song said with some uncertainty.
Bai Qi glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "Murong Chui is afraid that we will defeat them one by one."
Jiang Song and Gao Chong''s eyes widened again, and Damn, the 200,000 army was facing a 50,000 army, and they were afraid that the other party would defeat them one by one? Will famous generals be cautious to this extent when they implement wars?
Bai Qi did not explain it carefully with the two generals. They were in different positions, and it was difficult for them to understand no matter how they explained it.
"Murong Chui concluded that our army was going to rescue Yinshan City on this trip, so he concentrated 90% of its troops around Yinshan City, which just exposed the biggest weakness of Yuan Meng, thus giving our army a chance to win."
As he spoke, Bai Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth. Jiang Song and Gao Chong hugged him excitedly after seeing this. That was the smile that the governor would show only if he was sure to win.
"The final battle has begun."
Bai Qi''s eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he smiled faintly: "Next, our army will divide the troops into two groups to start the operation. The governor personally led 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry soldiers, pretending to be 50,000 rescue troops, attracting Murong Chui''s attention head-on, and restraining Yuan Meng''s troops concentrated in Yinshan City."
As he said that, Bai Qi took out a map and pointed to a route and said, "General Jiang Song is the main one, General Gao Chong is the deputy. You two ordered 25,000 cavalry to go north, take this route while the night is dark, bypassing Yuan Meng''s spies and posts, and head straight for this place as fast as possible, where there are the supplies you need the most."
After Jiang Song and Gao Chong looked at each other, Jiang Song stood up and said, "Grandmaster, the task of restraining Murong Chui is too dangerous, so let''s leave it to the last general. You and General Gao Chong lead the army north."
The 25,000 army will contain the 200,000 army. If you are not careful, it will definitely end up being wiped out. Bai Qi is the second-in-command of the Qin army, so Jiang Song is unwilling to take this risk in vain.
Bai Qi naturally knew Jiang Song''s kindness, but he shook his head and refused to accept it, and explained: "If Murong Chui cannot see the governor, he will definitely find the truth and reality of the army. Therefore, only if the governor leaves Murong Chui behind, he dare not make any abnormal movements."
Jiang Song was silent for a while and said, "You can pretend to be the governor of the city. You don''t have to take risks."
Bai Qi shook his head again and said, "Fakes are fakes after all. If they are seen through, they will lose all the money."
"This..." Jiang Song was speechless.
Late at night that day, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led 25,000 cavalry and walked around the east after leaving the camp, while Bai Qi led the remaining 25,000 troops, pretending to be 50,000 troops, and continued to march towards Yinshan City with great swagger to confuse Murong Chui.
"Report to the general, Bai Qi slowed down the marching speed and only walked more than ten miles a day. At this speed, it would probably take seven or eight days to reach Yinshan City." Murong Chui had just received the news that Zhuge Liang was defeated by Huoqiuquan with the Fire Cow Formation and Yuan Meng had 120,000 soldiers. So as soon as he got the news, he subconsciously thought that this was a trap that Bai Qi could not get.
"Bai Qi deliberately lowered the speed of the march. On the surface, it seemed that he didn''t care about Yinshan City anymore, but in fact, he must have set up a trap similar to the "Fire Bull Formation" and waited for us to take the initiative to attack, but I was not fooled by him."
Murong Chu''s eyes were full of wisdom, and then ordered: "I ordered the slave army to increase my attack on Yinshan City. I don''t believe that Bai Qi can still bear it."
"No."
Yinshan City, which had a little breath, became even more difficult because of the arrival of Bai Qi''s reinforcements. Even Yang Liulang personally participated in the defense of the city. Fortunately, Li Jing was here to control the overall situation, otherwise Yinshan City would have been defeated by Murong Chui long ago.
After one day''s siege, the Yuan Meng''s slave army lost more than 4,000 troops, and the Yinshan defenders suffered more than 1,000 casualties, of which 300 were the main force.
"Report... Report to General Murong, Bai Qi''s army still only walked less than twenty miles yesterday."
Murong''s eyes flashed with a flash of light, more than he had walked yesterday, so he said in a deep voice: "Send me the slave army to continue to attack Yinshan City to death."
"No."
After another day''s siege, the Yuan Meng''s slave army lost more than 4,500 troops, and the Yinshan defenders suffered more than 1,500 casualties, of which 400 were the main force. This time, even Li Jing participated in the war in person.
Murong Chui looked at Yinshan City, which had been shaking but could not be captured. He felt his head beating and sighed softly, "Yang Liulang and Li Jing''s will to resist is too strong."
"Report... Report to General Murong, Bai Qi''s army walked less than twenty-five miles yesterday."
Murong Chui immediately smiled when he heard this and said, "Bai Qi is panicked. It seems that he is not as weak as the legendary one. I will continue to attack Yinshan City and force Bai Qi to do it again."
Murong Chui was actually thinking too much. He thought Bai Qi would not get into the trap and wait for him to get into the trap. But what he didn''t know was that the reason why Bai Qi''s marching slowed down was because most of the cavalry in the army had left, and the remaining 25,000 troops were infantry, so the marching speed would naturally slow down.
Of course, even if 25,000 cavalry left, the Han army''s marching speed could not be so slow. The reason for this was that Bai Qi deliberately used it to confuse Murong Chui''s strategy and delayed Jiang Song and Gao Chong.
Murong Chui thought Yinshan City was in danger and would force Bai Qi to speed up his march, but what he didn''t expect was that Bai Qi''s army not only did not continue to march, but also stopped to camp on the spot.
Yinshan City was in danger, but Bai Qi refused to leave, which made Murong Chui puzzled.
At the same time, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led the 25,000 elite cavalry, and after a big circle, they finally arrived thirty miles south of Zhenbei Pass.
Here is a small armory secretly arranged by the Jin army.
