On April 13th, the sky was clear and there were clouds.

At dawn, according to Meng Zhong's arrangement, Le Yi and the Hedong Army Sima Liang Xi led 5,000 Wei soldiers to the Han army camp, fulfilled the agreement with Bao Yuan and took over the Han army camp.

After completing the handover with the Korean army, the Han Army Camp, a military camp established in the south of Yique Mountain, will become the current main business of the Wei army.

Since it was the main business, it should have sent heavy troops to guard it. After all, if this camp was attacked by the Qin army again, the Wei army would be completely destroyed and would even drag down the Han army. Therefore, Meng Zhong originally planned to divide 20,000 people to garrison, Liang Xi, Zheng Xi and Cai Wu, all the troops under the Sima of the army of Liang Xi, Zheng Xi, and Cai Wu to the barracks, and only the Sima of the army of Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui, and Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge in Luoshui. A total of nearly 60,000 Wei troops were responsible for the important task of pursuing the Qin army. However, the reaction of the Qin army forced Meng Zhong to give up his original plan.

The Qin army refused to evacuate, and all signs showed that they decided to confront the Wei army head-on again. With the intention of starting a first move, Meng Zhong tried to launch a fierce attack on the Qin army on April 13th.

Some people may wonder, the Wei army has no time to build long ladders, rushing vehicles and other attacking equipment, so how to attack the Qin army that guards the camp?

In fact, the Wei army did not need these equipment this time.

The reason is very simple, because the Qin army will definitely go out to fight, as long as they have the intention of confronting the Wei army head-on, otherwise, if they were blocked by the Wei army and dared not attack like the previous time, this would inevitably have a great negative impression on the morale of the Qin army soldiers.

To put it bluntly, if the Qin army retreated today, they would naturally not have enough morale to confront the Wei army head-on.

Given that today's likely to evolve into a decisive battle between the Qin and Wei armies, even Meng Zhong couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so that on the way to Qin camp, he had a tense face and thought about a speech that would boost morale later.

At the third hour of Mao, Meng Zhong and Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui, Zheng Shi, Cai Wu and other military sages led more than 60,000 Wei troops to a place about four or five miles away from Qin camp.

There are patrol soldiers from the Qin army around the area. After seeing the huge Wei army, these people immediately returned to the camp to report. Meng Zhong was too lazy to send people to pursue them. He ordered the Wei army to station on site in order to give the final encouragement.

"...Look forward, my soldiers from Wei State!"

Meng Ao, the clan brother, drove the chariot and parked in front of his own army array. Meng Zhong pointed at the camp in the distance and said in a loud voice: "It was originally the main camp of our army... Two days ago, on April 11, when I asked me to wait for the unforgettable day, the Qin people sneaked around the back and attacked the main camp. With far less troops than our army, they defeated us, brought me the deep shame of 180,000 Wei soldiers, and forced us to abandon the camp.

Escape into Yique Mountain... Xiwu has been humiliated and killed by the Qin army, and those hateful Qin people still tried to kill us... Greed, this is the nature of the Qin people in history! Since Zhang Yi was appointed as the prime minister of Qin, our Wei State has become the most targeted country in Qin. The Qin people have all the best to weaken Wei State. Why? Because they are afraid! Fear our Wei State! Because our Wei State was the most powerful country under this sky, and our Wei State soldiers,

He was once the most brave and brave soldier under this sky! If the Wei State could not be weakened, the Qin people would not be able to sleep or eat... Xiwu, he was careless. He did not expect that the Qin people were so tricky that they were so scheming that the Qin people succeeded in the sneak attack that night, causing more than half of my 180,000 Wei soldiers to be damaged... I think that after that night, the Qin people were probably laughing. Maybe they thought that this battle was sure to win, and that the defeated soldiers of us were not enough to treat them.

What threat is caused... They underestimated our soldiers in Wei State too much. Wu Qi, a famous general of our country, was able to defeat the 500,000 Qin army with 50,000 military soldiers. Now, our army still has 80,000 or 90,000 military soldiers, and there are still nearly 50,000 of them. How can we tolerate the Qin people on the opposite side looking at us with the eyes of the defeated war? If we defeat our army upright and I will submit, it will be like the night attack two days ago... Can you swallow this? "

"Can't swallow it!"

With the roar of Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui and other military Sima, the Wei soldiers' emotions were quickly mobilized.

"Yes, I can't swallow this breath no matter what I say."

Clenched his fists and waved for a moment, Meng Zhong glanced at the Wei soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Then today, let the Qin army see the courage of our Wei men! I hereby predict that within three days, our army will definitely defeat the Qin army, defeat the Qin people in the way of our Wei army, avenge the revenge for Xiwu, and for the soldiers who were unfortunately killed by the Qin people that night, and declare to the world with a cheerful victory that our Wei army is still the invincible army that we were trying to do back then! No one can stop our army's edge! No one!"

“…No one!”

Waves of sounds sounded from the array of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, one after another.

Seeing that the Wei soldiers under his command had almost moved their emotions, Meng Zhong waved his hand to the Qin camp in the distance and shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army obeys the order and moves forward slowly... There is no need to be anxious, because the victory of this battle belongs to our side after all!... The Wei army will definitely win!"

"It will win!"

"It will win!"

More than 60,000 people held up the weapons in their hands, and their emotions gradually rose.

At the same time, in the Qin camp in the north of Yique Mountain, Bai Qi had already learned the news that the Wei army was moving in full swing from the patrol soldiers who came to report the news, and couldn't help but frown.

As Meng Zhong guessed, Bai Qi was indeed not ready to evacuate, in fact, strictly speaking, it was not that he did not want to retreat, but that he knew that the Wei army would never let them go easily.

Otherwise, what would the Wei army do to garrison Yishui first? What would it do to build a dam on Yishui on the east side of Yique Mountain? Is this to prevent the Qin army from evacuating from the east to Xiangshan?

If the troops withdraw, the Wei army will inevitably catch the flaws and launch a fierce pursuit. Knowing this, Bai Qi decided to confront the Wei army head-on.

After all, the Qin army has no chance of winning.

Anyway, his army also defeated the strong army of more than 200,000 Wei and Han coalition forces in one night. He was slightly defeated by the Wei army yesterday. It was just because the Wei army captured him and the weak period of Qin army was weak. As long as the soldiers under his command recovered their physical strength, what is the point of defeat in the Wei army in Yiqueshan?

It was precisely with this idea that after the Wei army retreated yesterday, Bai Qi ordered all the soldiers to rest and recover their strength. After two days of rest, there was no way to launch a general attack on the Wei army in Yique Mountain. After all, the Qin army was rushing to the long distance, and their military rations were insufficient. They had to defeat the Wei army as soon as possible, otherwise they would fall into a passive position.

I remember that after making this decision, what Bai Qi was most worried about was the endless harassment and attack of the Wei army.

Now, his premonition was fulfilled. The Wei army on the opposite side did not give them a chance to breathe. It was obvious that they had just recovered some morale through a lucky victory yesterday, but today the Wei army moved in full swing and gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people to attack again. This clearly did not want the Qin soldiers under his command to completely restore their overdrawn physical strength.

In response to this, Bai Qi could only say helplessly that the Wei army on the other side had a very vicious vision.

"Bai Shuai, what should I do?"

General Ji Hong, who came to hear the news, asked Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was silent for a moment when he heard this.

According to his original intention, he did not want a war with the Wei army today. After all, according to his understanding, the soldiers in his army have not yet fully recovered. After all, overdrawing of physical strength is not a matter of resting for half a day, and can completely recover in one day. Just like a person who can only run ten miles on weekdays, you suddenly ask him to run thirty miles in one breath. Then even if this person slept for a nap, he would still feel muscle aches all over his body when he woke up the next day.

This is the case with the soldiers in his army now.

After resting yesterday afternoon and evening, my physical strength and energy have gradually recovered, but my hands and feet are generally sore. The more serious soldiers can't even hold their weapons. If someone slapped his arm, they may not say that even the weapons in their hands will fall. In this state, how can I fight to the death with the Wei army?

"It would be great if Wei Jun came again tomorrow..."

Bai Qi said with a deep feeling of sadness.

He guessed that it might be that his order to build a camp to make the Wei army on the other side guess what he guessed.

But Bai Qi had no choice but to do this. After all, the Qin army occupied only a southern camp that was the main camp of the Wei army. Except for the strong defense capabilities in the south, there was only a piece of ruins on the west, east and north sides, and there were almost no defensive facilities. As a general who was good at sneak attacks, Bai Qi could certainly not keep such flaws. What if the Wei army also launched a night attack on them?

It is precisely for this reason that even Bai Qi had expected in advance that the additional defense would expose his Qin army's subsequent strategic policies, but he still ordered the soldiers to simply build some defenses.

"If it really doesn't work, why not stay in the camp for the time being today?"

Seeing Bai Qi's face showing hesitation, Ji Hong suggested.

Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head, frowned and thought, "Gongsun Xi is dead. I don't know if the person who commands the Wei army is the person I think... No, that precise eyesight is probably him! This person is quite cunning and clever. He knows that our army is currently tired, so he takes the initiative again and again... Take today as an example. Even if our army cannot defend it, he will still order an attack. At worst, the attack will be on the west, east and north sides, which have relatively weak defenses."

Speaking of this, he breathed a long sigh, frowned and said, "Today, the Wei army has arrived, we will not defend and attack by the Wei army blocking the camp gate; tomorrow, the Wei army will come again, we will not defend and attack by the Wei army blocking the camp gate. How can our army have any morale?... Once the morale is lost, there will be no chance to recover the disadvantage!"

"..." Ji Hong nodded silently, and he also felt that Bai Qi's point of view was correct.

"Go to fight!"

After breathing a long sigh, Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "I hope I can kill a fair share with the Wei army today... If I unfortunately lose, I will rude away from the despicable and shameless Wei army, and take the opportunity to attack when our army's vitality has not yet recovered. The morale in the army should not have much impact. After all, after all, we will defeat the victorious army of more than 200,000 Wei and Han in one night. The soldiers are still very confident, and a small loss is nothing."

"Bai Qi thought it through thoroughly."

Ji Hong praised Bai Qi a little, but it is undeniable that Bai Qi's point of view is undoubtedly correct.

In this current situation, not being able to defend is equivalent to acquiesce to the fact that "cannot defeat the opponent's Wei army", which is the most harmful to the morale of the army, far more injured than the thousands of Qin soldiers who died in battle.

Considering this issue, Bai Qi immediately ordered the army to take the initiative.

Having said that, in fact, only 30,000 Qin soldiers were sent outside the camp in the end, and they were also deployed next to the camp, saying that this was an active attack, to be honest, it was a bit reluctant, but no matter what, the Qin army at least walked out of the camp, invisibly letting the Qin soldiers in the camp understand: We are not afraid of the Wei army!

Having said that, as for the casualties of these 30,000 Qin soldiers after today's fight, even Bai Qi could not take into account.

"Tread"

"Tread"

With the trembling of the ground beneath his feet, more than 60,000 Wei soldiers in the distance slowly came and gradually closer to the array of 30,000 Qin troops outside the camp.

"Well? Still moving forward?"

At the open camp gate, Bai Qi stood in a chariot and looked at the Wei army in the distance. He frowned as he looked.

Generally, when two armies confront each other, the troops of both sides will reserve at least two miles of space to prevent emergencies. It is important to know that once the distance is too close, the soldiers of both sides are likely to break out in advance. This is not a good thing for the generals of the two armies. After all, if the distance is too close, if there is any change on the battlefield, it will be difficult for the commander to react immediately and make timely countermeasures.

After a moment, under Bai Qi's frowning gaze, the Wei army stopped advancing only one mile away from the 30,000 Qin troops.

At this time, looking at the Wei army from Bai Qi's perspective, it seemed that the Wei army was covered with the sky. Even if it was as proud as Bai Qi, it was inevitable that it was a little nervous at this moment, and subconsciously clasped the railings on the chariot.

"So that's it... Relying on the large number of people, we intend to put pressure on our army."

Bai Qi seemed disdainful, but in fact he snorted coldly with fear and murmured: "I'm very confident..."

At the same time, the Sima of Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui and other soldiers were also muttering secretly.

As for what he muttered, he naturally muttered that his array was too far ahead and he almost met the Qin army outside the opposite camp.

At this time, Meng Zhong stood on a chariot and slowly came to the front of the array.

Seeing this, Dou Xing, as a pioneer general, immediately ordered his soldiers to drive the carriage and dock with Meng Zhong in parallel.

"Meng Shishou, is our army's array too far ahead?" he couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong smiled and replied: "Isn't it good? When Dou Sima massacred the Qin soldiers on the opposite side, he can also run two steps less."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Dou Xing was amused by Meng Zhong's words and couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Meng Zhong explained in a low voice: "I just took the opportunity to put pressure on the Qin army opposite..."

"I see."

Dou Xing nodded, then looked at Meng Zhong and wanted to speak but stopped.

It doesn't matter to him that he is close to or far away from the Qin army. After all, he is the chief general of the former army and is destined to be the first to fight against the Qin army opposite. He is just worried about Meng Zhong, and is afraid that the two armies will be too close to each other, so Meng Zhong will not be able to respond to the changes in the situation on the battlefield in a timely manner.

As if seeing Dou Xing’s concerns, Meng Zhongcheng said earnestly: “Sima Dou must trust me.”

Dou Xing stared at Meng Zhong for a while, and suddenly smiled heartily: "That's natural!... I rely on Meng Shishuai as his backing."

"Don't worry, Sima Dou."

After a few simple conversations, Dou Xing glanced at the Qin army opposite, licked his lips and said, "It seems that the Qin army does not intend to attack, so I will attack first!...Meng Shishuai, what else do you have to tell the soldiers?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong turned around and looked at the more than 60,000 Wei soldiers behind him.
To be continued...
