"Guowei, what happened?"

Just when Bai Qi was in deep thought, the veteran Sima Cuo hurried to the commander's tent. Seeing Bai Qi standing outside the tent with thoughts, he shouted from afar.

Bai Qi turned his head and looked at it. Seeing that it was Sima Cuo, he took a few steps forward and bowed to Sima Cuo and said hello: "Old Sima."

Sima Cuo waved his hand, and then asked again with a serious expression: "I heard the noise of the people in the east of the camp, and there was a faint sound of fighting. Could it be that the enemy attacked our camp at night?"

"Well." Bai Qi nodded and said, "According to the soldiers, most of the enemy soldiers who attacked our camp were Wei troops."

Hearing this answer, Sima Chou was neither surprised, but also a little surprised.

The reason why it is not surprising is that among the coalition forces, only the Wei and Han armies have the strongest fighting spirit. From Meng Zhong to Bao Yuan to ordinary Wei and Han soldiers, they seem to have the high fighting spirit of defeating him. Therefore, Sima Cuo did not feel surprised when the Wei army came to attack the camp.

What he was surprised was the reason why the Wei army suddenly launched a night attack.

Gan Zhao, the envoy sent by Qin, is now in the coalition camp. He thought he was negotiating with the commander of the coalition army, Fengyang Jun Li Dui. Whether it is the Wei army or Meng Zhong, he should not have launched a night attack at this time.

As the saying goes, one moves the whole body, the Wei and Han armies alone may not threaten the Qin army here; on the contrary, if the Wei and Han armies retreat, they may drag the Zhao, Qi and Yan armies into the abyss of defeat.

You should know that the strongest army in the coalition is the Sanjin coalition, and the most difficult general is Meng Zhong. If Meng Zhong and Wei and Han armies were defeated, how could the other coalitions stop the Qin army, which has greatly boosted morale?

"... As Sima Cuo said, with Meng Zhong's character, he would definitely not be so arrogant that he could defeat our army and capture Yin Jin with only the Wei and Han armies. But he still launched a night attack. I suspect... He might have convinced Li Du, or even, maybe convinced Tian Chu and Le Yi." Bai Qi said his guess in a deep voice: "In other words, our army is likely to face a strong attack from the entire coalition tonight!"

Sima Cuo's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he frowned and asked, "You said Meng Zhong convinced Li Du? This... I think that the purpose of Li Du and even Zhao State has been achieved and should not help Wei and Han again. You know, although Han has already attached to Wei, Zhao State did not. Even during the reign of King Hui of Wei, Wei State wanted to annex Zhao and Han, which made Zhao State regard Wei State as an enemy. As a result of the past, Zhao State would not tolerate such a thing happening again. If Zhao State helped Wei and Han State severely inflict our Qin Dynasty, wouldn't this have encouraged Wei State to restore its ambition to dominate the Central Plains? As long as Li Du was not confused, he would not obey Meng Zhong's advice."

Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded and said, "As Sima Lao said, Zhao State should not help Wei and Han continue to attack our Qin, but this does not mean that Li Dui does not want to take Yin Jin..."

"Yin Jin?" Sima was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized, "You mean..."

"Um!"

Bai Qizhong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although Sima Lao and his subordinates' strategy is wonderful, they may not be able to hide it from Meng Zhong. What's more, the coalition forces have realized the hidden danger of food shortage in the army. How could Meng Zhong wait for the arrival of winter? According to the speculation below, Meng Zhong may have told Li Du of our delayed military strategy and asked Li Du to consider the negotiations with us after seizing Yin Jin.... If you were Li Du, would you reject Meng Zhong's proposal?"

“…”

Sima Cuo frowned and thought for a moment.

As Bai Qi said, even if he was Li Dui, he would listen to Meng Zhong's opinions. First, conquering Yin Jin is indeed the key to solving the hidden dangers of food shortage in the coalition forces; second, it is indeed unnecessary to have a grudge against a young general like Meng Zhong for a battle.

As he thought about it, Sima Cuo's mood suddenly became heavier. After all, once Li Dui compromised with Meng Zhong, it means that the night attack tonight is not only the Wei army, but also the coalition forces of Wei, Zhao, Han and Jin, and even the Qi and Yan armies may intervene. After all, the coalition forces are short of food, and the Qi and Yan armies are also short of food.

As if he had guessed Sima Cuo's heavy mood at this moment, Bai Qi comforted in a deep voice: "But Mr. Sima can rest assured. I have ordered all the soldiers and generals in the camp to wake up. Even if the coalition forces attacked all their heads, they may not be able to fight."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and then added: "In addition, Meng Zhongye attacked my camp, I don't care. I just worry that he pretended to attack my camp and actually took Yin Jin!"

Hearing this, Sima Cuo immediately asked, "Did someone have been sent to Yin Jin?"

"Sent." Bai Qi nodded and said, "I ordered someone to convey to Huayang Jun that he would not have to support my camp, but just guard Yinjin City."

Seeing that Bai Qi had made arrangements, Sima Cuo nodded with confidence.

And at this moment, I suddenly saw several Qin soldiers rushing to Bai Qi and Sima Cuo, and clasped their fists with strange expressions and told: "Qi Guowei, Qi Report to the old general, Yiqu cavalry sent someone to send news that the enemy seemed to be preparing to attack our camp at night..."

When Bai Qi heard this, his face turned red with anger.

What does it mean that the "enemy army seems to be preparing to attack my camp at night"? The mother Wei army has long been attacking Dongying Gate!

It was clearly a cavalry responsible for night warning and patrol, but the time to send the alarm was not as fast as the Wei army on the opposite side. Is there any use for such patrols?

At this time, when I looked at Sima Cuo again, I saw that Sima Cuo was also full of anger.

He let out a breath of viciousness, and then Bai Qi asked with a calm face: "Where is the Yiqu cavalry now?"

"Report to the National Guard, according to the Yiqu cavalry who came to report the news, they were fighting with the cavalry of the coalition." The soldiers who came to report the news replied.

Hearing this, Bai Qi and Sima looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces looked a little better.

"I know, wait and step down."

"promise!"

After waiting for the soldiers to leave, Bai Qi turned to look at Sima Cuo, and said with deep dissatisfaction: "After all, it's not a soldier of my Great Qin."

Sima Cuo nodded slowly and said, "But... the power of these Yiqu cavalry is still needed, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the Fangcheng cavalry and the Zhao cavalry..."

At this time, the shouts of killing in the Qinying East Entrance area became more and more violent, and gradually spread to the surrounding areas.

For example, on the north side of Qin camp, enemy situations appeared.

Immediately, a Qin soldiers reported the battle situation to Yu Bai Qi and Sima: "Report! The enemy army appeared outside the Northern Camp, and they didn't know where they belonged, and were attacking our camp."

"I know."

Bai Qi calmly sent the soldiers who came to report the news, then turned to Sima Chou and said, "As expected, the coalition forces really attacked the Beiying of our camp. Fortunately, we had ordered Zhongxu to guard the Beiying."

Hearing this, Sima chou stroked his beard and said lightly: "Ah, the other party wanted to cut off the connection between Yin Jin and our camp, and even lure Yin Jin to send troops to rescue us. If Huayang Jun leads his army to help at this time, he will definitely be ambushed by the coalition forces..." As he said that, he turned to look at Bai Qi and asked: "The National Guard is sure that the people you sent can send the message to Huayang Jun?"

As long as he ensures that Bai Qi's army does not break through to Zheng County, he will achieve his goal, even if Bai Qi leads the remaining troops to escape to Yin Jin, it doesn't matter.

"Report!"

After a burst of hurried footsteps, soldiers came to report: "The four Simas of Yancheng, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Jin Bi, and Lian Po are ready."

"good!"

Meng Zhong nodded and ordered: "Let them start to act in half an hour!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Bao Yuan and said, "Master Bao, you can let the soldiers of your army attack the south side of the Qin camp."

Bao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll cover it with Brother Yu."

After saying that, he curled his smile and ordered left and right, "Send the order and attack the south side of Qin camp according to the established strategy!"

"promise!"

After a while, countless Korean soldiers raised their torches, came from the direction of the coalition camp, and headed straight to the south side of the Qin army camp.

At this time, on the north side of the Qin camp, Qi general Tian Chu faintly saw a 'fire snake' heading straight for the Qin camp from the direction of their coalition camp. He immediately realized that the Han army had been dispatched, so he said to his left and right confidants: "Send someone to inform Le Yi Sima that the Han army has moved. I will move the west side of the Qin camp according to the established strategy and ask him to be careful that the Qin army forcibly breaking north."

As he said that, he looked around a few times, lowered his voice and said to the confidant: "Tell Le Yi that the surrounding and killing Bai Qi, Sima Cuo and other good generals of the Qin army will be beneficial to Wei and Han, but not to our Qi and Yan countries. Meng Zhong's strategy is enough to seize Yin Jin. There is no need for us to eliminate Qin generals like Bai Qi and Sima Cuo for Wei and Han countries. If the Qin army really breaks out from the north later, Le Yi will not have to fight to the death."

The confidant nodded and immediately left with his fists.

Although Tian Chu still had his own selfishness at this time, in the overall situation, he followed Meng Zhong's strategy, quietly pulled troops, and turned to attack the Xiying of Qin's camp.

At this point, the Qin army was led by Dou Xing and Wei Qing in the east camp, the Yan army led by Le Yi in the north camp, the Qi army led by Tian Chu in the west camp, and the Han army led by Bao Yuan in the south camp, the four armies of Wei, Han, Qi and Yan almost surrounded the Qin camp.

Only Fengyang Jun Li Dui led the Zhao army infantry to ambush the Qin camp and Yinjin City to prevent Meng Zhong from making mistakes in judgment. Huayang Jun Mi Rong led the army to support Bai Qi and Sima Cuo.

The forces of the Wei, Han, Qi and Yan army jointly attacked the Qin camp, which naturally brought great pressure to Bai Qi's army.

In an instant, bad news was sent to Bai Qi and Sima Cuo one after another.

"Report! The Nanying was attacked by the enemy, and the army belonging to it is currently unknown!"

"Report! Xiying was attacked by the enemy, and its troops were temporarily unknown!"

"Report! The enemy troops outside the Northern Camp suddenly strengthened their offensive, and General Zhongxu begged to send reinforcements!"

"Report! Dongying is about to fall. The two generals of Jin Kuang and Tong Yang are eager to ask for reinforcements!"

Listening to these unfavorable battle reports to me, even Bai Qi was shocked and sweating in his forehead.

What's going on? Didn't that guy Meng Zhong pretend to attack my camp, but actually take Yin Jin? Why do you feel that the direction of the coalition forces' attack is my military camp?

Bai Qi, shocked and suspicious, immediately sent someone to each battalion to confirm the number of enemy troops. It was not until he learned that the enemy troops outside each battalion were continuous like locusts that he realized that he had been fooled by Meng Zhong.

"I've fallen into the trap!"

He said to Sima Cuo, who was also surprised and suspicious, "Damn it, we all thought that Meng Zhong was pretending to attack our camp and actually took Yin Jin, but this guy went the other way. He guessed that we would definitely prevent Yin Jin, so he simply did not take Yin Jin and attacked our army, trying to defeat our army in one fell swoop, and then attack Yin Jin..."

Sima Cuo said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, you must break through as soon as possible!"

It has to be said that after realizing the intention of the coalition forces opposite, Bai Qi and Sima Cuo did not dare to defend the camp at all.

Although their camp has nearly 90,000 troops, the problem is that there are more coalition forces on the opposite side. God knows whether the 200,000 coalition forces will be in full force tonight?

What's even more embarrassing is that Bai Qi made a mistake in his judgment and mistakenly thought that the coalition forces were pretending to attack his camp to lure Huayang Jun Mi Rong to send troops to rescue him so that he could ambush the latter on the way. Therefore, Bai Qi had to send someone to Yinjin to report the news early, tell Mi Rong the so-called truth and prevent Mi Rong from leading troops to rescue him.

Now that Mi Rong will definitely not lead his army to aid. How can the 90,000 troops here stop the 200,000 coalition forces?

Only by breaking through, forcibly breaking through, retreating outside Yinjin City, and joining forces with Huayang Jun Mi Rong to prevent the coalition from taking over Yinjin.

"Send the order, the entire army will be dispersed, breaking northward, and protecting its troops as much as possible!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Qi decisively issued an order to force a breakthrough.

However, when Bai Qi was about to break north in a chariot, he suddenly felt a little stunned and felt something was wrong.

He must admit that Meng Zhongye attacked his military camp tonight and played a trick. This trick was very clever. Even he was trapped, causing him to lose about half of his 90,000 Qin troops under his command.

But if you think about it carefully, although Meng Zhong’s strategy is smart, has he solved the problem of the coalition forces?

In fact, it's not!

Although he made a mistake in his judgment, it was actually beneficial to prevent Huayang Jun Mi Rong from sending troops to rescue him, such as ensuring that Yin Jin would not be captured by the coalition forces.

Wait until he leads the remaining soldiers to join Mi Rong, the number of guards in Yinjin City will be more.

Let me ask, how did Meng Zhong capture a city with at least 70,000 to 80,000 Qin troops defending it in just two months before the beginning of winter?

According to common sense, it is impossible to conquer in such a short time.

So, what is the point of Meng Zhong doing this? Is it just to kill him 30,000 to 40,000 Qin troops?

You know, once this battle is delayed until winter, the coalition forces will lose far more than 30,000 to 40,000!

...It's not right. Meng Zhong went on to plot against Yin Jin. This is equivalent to him having given up attacking Yin Jin, but he could attack Yin Jin forcing him. Even if he had more than 200,000 coalition forces, he might not be able to do it... Could he have given up seizing Yin Jin? No! If you want to solve the problem of the coalition shortage of food, you must seize Yin Jin. Meng Zhong will never be greedy for the small and lose the big ones. He gave up attacking Yin Jin in order to plot against me. He ordered the coalition forces to besiege our camp. There must be some other meaning! For example, in order to confuse the public... Well, Meng Zhong often uses a large army to cover a small group of elite troops...

As he thought about it, Bai Qi suddenly felt a move in his heart, turned his head to look to the south side, and then slowly turned his gaze to the southwest direction.

After looking at the night sky in the southwest for about a few breaths, Bai Qi's face gradually showed a look of horror.

"broken……"

After muttering to himself, Bai Qi, who was standing on the chariot, would wave his arms and shout anxiously: "The whole army obeys the orders, everyone breaks through the southwest and retreats to Zheng County! Repeat! The whole army breaks through the southwest and retreats to Zheng County!"

“…”

The nearby Qin soldiers looked at each other, not understanding why Bai Qi, who had just ordered to break north, suddenly changed his mind.
Chapter completed!
