Chapter 1611 The decisive battle begins


    Chapter 1609: The decisive battle begins


    Zhou Yafu is undoubtedly a commander who is both wise and brave.


    At the beginning, although Zhou Yafu did not notice Li Jing''s intention, this was the result of a blind spot based on intelligence.


    As the direction of the army''s marching deviated more and more from the main line, Zhou Yafu gradually realized that something was wrong.


    "The whole army obeys the order and stop chasing." Zhou Yafu suddenly stopped the horse and shouted.


    “Wow…”


    The generals stopped the horse and looked at Zhou Yafu in confusion, only to see his face gloomy and unstable.


    "I''ve fallen into a trap. Ran Min wants to transfer us away. If he continues to chase us, even if the Qin cavalry is eliminated, he may not be able to catch up with the main force of the Qin army." Zhou Yafu said with a serious look on his face.


    "We can ignore the Qin cavalry and go directly to pursue Li Jing''s main force of the Qin army." Gongsun Shu said in a statement.


    Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Our army can ignore this cavalry, but they will not ignore us. Even if they catch up with Li Jing, they may fall into a situation of attacking both sides."


    "What should I do?"


    Xia Luqi frowned and said, "He came to help the Northern Han to make contributions. As a result, he was repeatedly frustrated without fighting the Northern Han in a battle, and now he is in a dilemma again. This is too incompetent."


    Hearing this, Zhou Yafu couldn''t help but fall into deep thought. After a while, a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder.


    Zhou Yafu took out the letter with a blank expression. After seeing the content, his expression changed drastically and exclaimed: "Jintai is not in Li Jing''s army. Li Jing sent Jintai to lead two thousand cavalry back to the Beihai in advance."


    Zhu Tianpeng naturally let this pigeon go, and his information was too timely for the Northern Han Dynasty.


    The generals were stunned when they heard this. Ju Wuba said in confusion: "The Qin army has only 5,000 cavalry in total, and two thousand of them have been brought back to the Beihai by Jintai. Where did Ran Min get the 5,000 cavalry?"


    "Suspect the plan."


    Sha Rolling Curtain frowned and said in a deep voice: "What we are chasing is not the five thousand Qin troops, but three thousand. Ran Min deceived us with a suspicious strategy."


    "What?"


    Everyone exclaimed, and they were all furious.


    If we knew that the Qin cavalry had only three thousand, Zhou Yafu would never have divided his troops before, because he could already crush his strength and did not need to implement any strategy. However, it is not too late to know now, Zhou Yafu already has a strategy to win.


    "From now on, we will divide the troops into two groups again."


    A glimmer flashed in Zhou Yafu''s eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Gongsun Shu, you lead three thousand cavalry to restrain Ran Min, and this general leads the remaining cavalry, pretending to be back and pursue Li Jing.


    Ran Min wanted to lead our army away to ensure the safety of the main army. If he learned that our army ignored him and was determined to pursue Li Jing, he would be shocked.


    With General Gongsun Shu, Ran Min could not easily turn back. If he learned that you only had three thousand cavalry in his hands, Ran Min would definitely fight with you, defeat your cavalry and continue to restrain our troops.


    In fact, before the decisive battle was launched, I will lead the army back again. At that time, the two armies will work together to wipe out Ran Min. ”


    "Good plan." The generals exclaimed.


    "Dan Tai Yu, Ju Wuba, and Sha Rolling Cloud, you three act with Gongsun Shu, and General Xia Luqi stayed with me as ace."


    "No." On the other side, when Ran Min''s troops fled southwest suddenly found that Zhou Yafu behind him stopped and did not continue to pursue, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.


    "I probably realized the intention of our army."


    Ran Min sighed, thinking in his heart that it was a pity that if it was a little later, even if Zhou Yafu saw it through, he would be sure to continue to hold it up.


    The generals also thought it was a pity, after all, if the strategy is seen through, the next loss may be huge.


    "Report to the general, Zhou Yafu divided his troops again. Zhou Yafu asked Gongsun Shu to lead three thousand cavalry to stay, and the other seven thousand were led by Zhou Yafu and headed towards the North Sea."


    "What?"


    Everyone, including Ran Min, was shocked.


    There was nothing to stop chasing, but the troops were divided into two groups again, and three thousand cavalry were left behind, which was a bit intriguing.


    This shows that Zhou Yafu not only noticed the intentions of the Qin army, but also realized the reality of the Qin army.


    "There is no other way. Only by defeating these three thousand cavalry first can we save the situation."


    Ran Min''s eyes were full of solemn expressions, and then he sneered: "But Zhou Yafu is really arrogant. Do you think that leaving three thousand cavalry can contain our army?"


    "But General Ran Min, this may also be Zhou Yafu''s strategy to force our army to fight to the decisive battle. The easy launch of the decisive battle is contrary to the strategy formulated by the prefect."


    After hesitating for a moment, Taishici said, "The last general believes that it should be based on the prefect''s plan."


    After thinking for a long time, Ran Min waved his hand and said, "Warning is about adapting to changes. After all, how can we predict everything? The situation we are facing now is much beyond the expectations of the prefect. It is no longer appropriate to follow the previous plan."


    “This…but…”


    Taishici wanted to persuade him again, but Ran Min said, "The general is not allowed to accept military orders from abroad. If the prefect is here, maybe he has other ways, but he is not here now, we must rely on ourselves."


    Taishi Ci was speechless when she heard this. They were indeed too dependent on Li Jing. When Li Jing was there, they planned everything well. They just had to obey Li Jing''s orders to reap the credit. Now that Li Jing is not around, they seem to be unable to think.


    The other generals also agreed with Ran Min''s plan. After all, the current situation did exceed Li Jing''s estimate. If the original plan was implemented, if the enemy did not take the bait, there would be no hope.


    Seeing that most of them agreed, Ran Min immediately said, "Okay, since that''s the case, the whole army obeys the order and prepares for a decisive battle."


    "No."


    With Ran Min''s order, the Three Thousand Huben Camp changed direction and went against the Northern Han army that had just been chasing them.


    "The Qin army is here, and Ran Min is indeed fooled."


    A hint of excitement flashed in Gongsun Shu''s eyes and she smiled and said, "Send a message to General Zhou Yafu, everyone, let''s go and meet Ran Min."


    "I have long wanted to meet Ran Min. Not long ago, I injured Yuwen Chengdu in Jizhou. This time I will see if Ran Min deserves his ranking." Dan Tai Yu said with a smile.


    The three thousand Tiger Cavalry of the Qin army and the three thousand Liaodong Cavalry of the Liao Kingdom marched in full speed in one direction and soon met on a plain.


    Neither side immediately launched a decisive battle, but stopped tacitly and chose to observe each other.
