Chapter 1708: Ten-sided ambush (Part 1)


    Chapter 1706: Ambush on ten sides (Part 1)


    The Qin army had an army of 210,000 in Yecheng. This time, in order to confuse Han Xin and put it on the trap, Zhang Liang used a army of 110,000 to act.


    Therefore, the actual ambush coalition forces were only 100,000 troops, while the coalition forces fleeing north also happened to be only 100,000.


    Ambusing 100,000 is definitely a difficult task to others, but in Bai Qi''s eyes it is just a routine operation.


    Bai Qi is good at using terrain to fight. Even if the number of opponents is the same as that of him, as long as the terrain is used well, he can completely annihilate the opponent.


    As for the 110,000 army left on Yecheng, Qin Hao naturally had other functions. After all, if the Qin army did not pursue Han Xin after fleeing north, wouldn’t it be that he told Han Xin that there was an ambush in front?


    "Where are Gao Shun and Yu Jin?" Qin Hao ordered in a deep voice.


    Gao Shun and Yu Jin stood up together and shouted, "The last one will be here."


    "Gao Shun, I ordered you to be the chief general and Yu Jin as the deputy general, leading 50,000 troops to guard Yecheng, appease the people, and prevent rioters from causing trouble."


    "No." Gao Shun and Yu Jin shouted.


    Qin Hao nodded and continued to order: "Where are Zhang Liao, Long Qi, Xu Huang, Yue Xi, Li Jin, and Jiang Jiong?"


    "The last general is here." The six generals stood up and responded.


    "I will lead the remaining 60,000 troops to pursue Han Xin. You and others will lead 10,000 troops. One thing must be remembered, that is, the bigger the momentum, the better. It is best to pretend to be 150,000 people for me." Qin Hao ordered with a confident look on his face.


    "No." The six generals responded in unison.


    Although Han Xin piled up a large amount of fire-induced objects in the Northern Camp, and it was fine to burn them for a day, he was extinguished by the Qin army after only burning them for a long time.


    After the fire was extinguished, Zhang Liao led his men to quickly clear out a way. Then, under Qin Hao''s personal leadership, a 60,000 army embarked on the road to pursue the north.


    Although the North Chase Army had only 60,000, it carried a large number of flags, and the momentum along the way was very loud. When I saw it, I thought it was a 150,000 army chasing me.


    Soon, through the secret spy left behind, Han Xin received the news that the Qin army had already chased him, and immediately ordered: "Tell Zhang Kui in the rear to set fire when the Qin army pursued the main road."


    Yes, even if he fled in a panic, Han Xin didn''t want to be beaten passively. Instead, he wanted to ambush the Qin army who came to pursue him with fire.


    "Report... Report, lord, the Qin army discovered our intention. Not only did they not come in, but they also shot and killed many of our people. General Zhang Kui had no choice but to set fire to block the pursuit."


    Hearing this, Han Xin suddenly showed disappointment and muttered to himself: "It''s true that it still failed."


    Generally, when the army retreats, in order to catch up with the enemy as soon as possible, the enemy often ignores some details when they are impatient, and this is the most suitable for setting up an ambush.


    But we also need to determine who the opponent is. If a famous general like Bai Qi is, it is almost impossible to successfully ambush with such a trick.


    Han Xin also knows that the chance of success is not high, but it is not bad to try it. What if Bai Qi is careless and makes him succeed? But the facts ultimately failed.


    "Transfer the orders of the former army to speed up."


    Han Xin''s eyes were full of solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "There is not much turmeric oil left in our army, and there are not many important roads left. The method of blocking the road by fire can be used once or twice. If you cannot take advantage of this gap and completely get rid of the Qin army, once you are caught up, you will have a dead end."


    The coalition army marched fast enough. After all, this hastily abandoned the city and retreated, all they took away were supplies, and there was no small family for the officials.


    Most of the officials in Zhao State were already taken away by the Qin army in the Bohai Sea, while the Korean officials were young and were all in northern Hebei. Without women and children, the marching speed of the army was naturally faster.


    The coalition''s marching speed was far beyond ordinary times, but Han Xin was still unsatisfied. For some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if he had missed something important, but he couldn''t say what it was.


    "Am I too worried?" Han Xin said secretly.


    At the same time, Bai Qi had already set up a pocket array a hundred miles away, just waiting for Han Xin to come to him.


    At this time, there was another person beside Bai Qi, beside Zhang Liang. He was Li Jing who left the Bohai battlefield and took the initiative to go to the Yecheng battlefield.


    Shortly after Li Jing arrived in Yecheng, he received news that Yecheng was about to be unable to hold on. He concluded that Han Xin would not sit still and wait for death and would definitely abandon the city and break through, so he prepared to ambush Han Xin on the road to return north.


    The ambush location prepared by Li Jing is much further away than Bai Qi and is already in South Korea.


    Although Li Jing didn''t know which side Han Xin would break out, no matter which direction Han Xin went, he was destined to return to South Korea, so he was preparing to ambush Han Xin at the door of South Korea.


    In Li Jing''s view, Bai Qi is there in Yecheng. Even if Han Xin finally breaks out, his army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. The 30,000 troops in his hands can just take down Han Xin''s remnants, which are trapped in the trap.


    What Li Jing did not expect was that Zhang Liang also thought of an ambush strategy and confused Han Xin and ordered him to break out from the north. It would be useless for him to continue setting up an ambush at the South Korean gate, so he immediately led the army to meet with Bai Qi.


    After Bai Qi and Li Jing joined the army, the army also rose to 130,000. Even if there is no ambush, it can defeat Han Xin''s 100,000 coalition forces head-on. However, in order to minimize casualties, Bai Qi chose to ambush.


    Faced with famous generals like Han Xin, ordinary ambushers are destined to be difficult to achieve success. If an improper arrangement is made, Han Xin will see the flaws.


    It is precisely because of this that Zhang Liang offered advice to Bai Qi, not setting up ambush in dangerous places, but setting up ambush in relatively flat places, which can minimize Han Xin''s vigilance.


    "This place is the only way to go north to northern Hebei. As long as Han Xin wants to return to South Korea, he will definitely pass here."


    Zhang Liang pointed to a plain on the marching map and said confidently: "Although the terrain here is flat, it is not conducive to ambush, but there are many earth pits and slopes, which are easy for the army to hide.


    Therefore, there are two benefits to setting up an ambush here. One can catch Han Xin off guard, and the other can completely use our army''s strength. ”


    Bai Qi stared at the map for a long time, hammered the table heavily and said strongly: "It is here that completely ruined Han Xin''s 100,000 Northern Han coalition forces."


    Zhang Liang smiled and then offered another suggestion: "Liang has another move. If he uses it in conjunction with the ambush, he will definitely easily ruin Han Xin''s army."


    Bai Qi''s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Military advisor, please tell me."


    A strange look flashed in Zhang Liang''s eyes, and he smiled faintly, "This plan is called: ambush on ten sides."
