In the entire camp, the only general who has not received a mission is Feng Yuqian's uncle. Everyone knows that one of the two missions will be given to him, but they don't know who will complete the other mission
The Northern Qi people spread the news among the Qin army and the people that they were fighting for revenge and that it was all the Qin's fault that this war was going to happen. They were brainwashing the soldiers and people of the Qin Dynasty. The few words Qin Jiyan said were also brainwashing the soldiers, and it was obvious that Qin Jiyan had a better brainwashing effect on them.
"In the Northern Qi Army, Aliguwu is the commander-in-chief. Without his orders, no one dares to act." Aliguwu's status in the Northern Qi Army is like General Feng Lao in Great Qin.
The two most difficult tasks are naturally to lead troops to attack Northern Qi from the front, and to lead troops to go behind the Northern Qi army and cut off their retreat.
"Very good." Qin Jiyan nodded approvingly, pointed to another deputy general and said: "You take two thousand men, bring all the kerosene in the army, and ambush across the river. Once you find that the soldiers of Northern Qi have crossed the river, If there is any sign, they will pour out the fire oil and set fire to it.”
Qin Jiyan asked everyone to retreat without saying anything.
"Yes, Lang'er Mountain has excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, and it is not suitable to set up an ambush." Qin Jiyan pointed at the back of the map and used a slight force on his finger, "But... if we cut off his escape route, he will have only two choices." With a flick of his finger, Qin Jiyan pointed to the river beside him, "Either lead troops across the river, or..."
You must know that each of them has his own mission, and even if there is no mission, they are not capable of cutting off the retreat of Northern Qi's 300,000-strong army.
With less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, who can cut off the retreat of Northern Qi's 300,000-strong army? Who can complete this task
His words and emotions quickly affected others. Some people lowered their voices uneasily and asked everyone, "In this battle tomorrow, we..." Do we still have a chance of winning
However, after receiving the order, they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they stood quietly in the camp, wanting to know who would complete the two most difficult tasks.
"Yes, Aleguwu is a veteran. He pays great attention to the combination of offense and defense when selecting camps." The lieutenants were decisively changed by Qin Jiyan.
The emperor's plan was indeed simple and straightforward, but he believed that the emperor dared to make such an arrangement because he must be relying on something...
The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Under his rule, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment without foreign invasion. Even if future generations distort the facts, they cannot say that he did something wrong.
"General, take the order." Feng Yuqian stepped forward and took the order.
They are all rivals, and each understands the other's fighting style very well. The veteran Northern Qi general Ali Guwu was very brave and had fought with Da Qin for decades. He knew Da Qin's methods very well and would not be fooled easily.
"He won't be fooled, others will!" Tomorrow night, Areguwu will die in the camp. Without a coach, Northern Qi will inevitably be in chaos. In addition, they take the initiative to launch an attack. In order to survive without a leader, those who Soldiers will surely enter the mountains.
Their biggest advantage is the towering city wall outside. That city wall blocked the footsteps of the Northern Qi army and blocked the artillery fire of the Northern Qi. Once they walked out of the city wall, they lost their advantage.
Thinking about it, of course, the officers and soldiers of Da Qin stood on the standpoint of Da Qin, thinking about the country of Da Qin and the people of Da Qin. Qin Jiyan's words were all from the standpoint of Da Qin, and everything he did was for the good of Da Qin. How could the soldiers not understand
If you have the ability, why not take the initiative to attack
Calculated in this way, the number of troops and horses to break off the rear is less than 10,000.
He had never been on the battlefield before. It wasn't that the Northern Qi royal family didn't trust him, nor was it because of his lack of strength. It was because the Queen Mother of Northern Qi wanted to support her son, so she could only kick Aliguwu away to make way for her son.
It's just that Qin Jiyan has this confidence, but the lieutenants don't, "Your Majesty, our current military strength is less than half of the opponent's. If we go out of the city to fight with the opponent, we have no chance of winning."
Who stipulates that if the opponent attacks the city, they can only defend the city
They admitted that the emperor's idea was wonderful, but it was too difficult to realize. "According to Aliguwu's old ways, even if we intercept him, he will not lead troops into the mountains. The mountain roads are narrow and it is easy to set up ambushes. The Northern Qi army has too many people." There are so many that if they go in and encounter an ambush, they won’t be able to get out. Rather than risk leading his troops into the mountains, he will choose to fight head-on."
Of course not.
After giving the army in the border town two days to adjust their mood, Qin Jiyan issued an order to take the initiative to attack.
The eyes of all the lieutenants shone brightly, and their ears pricked up, wanting to know who Qin Jiyan would let lead the troops to cut off the rear, but...
They had just walked not far when someone said impatiently, "Young general, did the emperor say who should go to the rear to cut off Northern Qi's retreat?"
"I have my own arrangements for this. You just need to complete your tasks." Qin Jiyan did not explain much, let alone tell everyone his plan. Pointing to the mountain peak on the right, he said to Feng Yuqian, "If you lead 30,000 people tonight and set up ambush on both sides, is it possible?"
But if the soldiers in the army accept it, will the soldiers below still struggle internally
No surprise, Qin Jiyan gave Feng Yuqian's uncle the task of leading the troops for a frontal attack, and left him an army of 130,000.
"Uh..." The lieutenants were all stunned. They wanted to ask but no one dared to speak. They could only walk out of the main camp with doubts and uneasiness.
The following words were not spoken out loud, but everyone could understand their meaning.
As for right and wrong
After the two major tasks were assigned, Qin Jiyan issued dozens of smaller orders, and none of the lieutenants who received the tasks hesitated.
Feng Yuqian originally didn't want to pay attention, but the eyes of several lieutenants met in mid-air, showing uneasiness and worry at the same time. He scolded with a cold face, "The Lord's plan must be foolproof. Just complete your tasks."
Qin Jiyan's finger landed on the mountain front on the right again, "Lead the troops into the mountain."
"There wasn't one before, but there will be one tomorrow night." Qin Jiyan spread out the map without explaining, pointed to the direction of Northern Qi, and said: "The Northern Qi army is stationed in Lang'er Mountain, with the river on the left and the mountain on the right. Excellent defensive position.”
As for those ordinary people? Qin Jiyan had no intention of reasoning with them. As long as they won this battle and the Northern Qi Dynasty was no longer able to invade the border of Da Qin, the people of Da Qin would say good things about him.
Qin Jiyan refused to give the Northern Qi soldiers a way to survive and forced them to walk into the mountain on the right.
"They can also choose to charge head-on. Moreover, we have no way to lead troops to cut off his retreat." Several lieutenants frowned, with a trace of disapproval flashing in their eyes.
His opening immediately aroused heated discussion from others, "It is not easy to break off the army. Most people can't do it. Who else in our army can lead the troops to stop the retreat of the Northern Qi army?"
"The general takes orders." Although the deputy general felt that Qin Jiyan's plan was impossible to work, the nature of a soldier still made him accept the order without hesitation.
"I've been listening for a long time, but I still don't understand. Who does the emperor want to send?"
"I have been thinking for a long time but I can't think of anyone who can do it. If the old general is here, the old general will definitely be able to do it. It's just that the old general is in the capital now, and water far away can't save the fire near." The speaker sighed, with a look. Frustrated, he seemed not to be optimistic about Qin Jiyan's plan at all.
