The Northern Qi people spread the news among the Qin army and the people that they were fighting for revenge. 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. Those words Qin Jiyan said were the same.
He was brainwashing the soldiers, and it was obvious that Qin Jiyan was more effective in brainwashing them.
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?
But if the soldiers in the army accept it, will the soldiers below still struggle internally?
Of course it won't.
As for the ordinary people? Qin Jiyan has no intention of reasoning with them. As long as they win this battle and the Northern Qi Dynasty is no longer able to invade the border of Da Qin, the people of Da Qin will say good things about him.
As for right and wrong?
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.
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.
Who stipulates that if the opponent attacks the city, they can only defend it?
If you have the ability, why not take the initiative to attack?
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."
Their biggest advantage is the towering city wall outside. That 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.
"There wasn't one before, but there will be one tomorrow night." Qin Jiyan did not explain, but spread out the map, 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.”
"Yes, Aleguwu is a veteran, and he pays great attention to the combination of offense and defense when selecting camps." The lieutenants were decisively changed by Qin Jiyan.
"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." His finger slipped.
, Qin Jiyan pointed to the river beside him, "Either lead troops to cross the river, or..."
Qin Jiyan's finger landed on the mountain front on the right again, "Lead the troops into the mountain."
"They can also choose to charge head-on, and there is no way we can lead troops to cut off their retreat." Several lieutenants frowned, with a trace of disapproval flashing in their eyes.
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 of them that if they go in and encounter an ambush, they will not be able to get out. Instead of risking leading troops into the mountains, he will choose to fight head-on."
They are all rivals, and each understands the other's fighting methods very well. The veteran Northern Qi general Ali Guwu is very brave and has fought with the Qin Dynasty for decades. He is very familiar with the Qin's methods and will 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 definitely enter the mountains.
"In the Northern Qi Army, Aliguwu is the commander-in-chief. Without his orders, no one dares to act rashly." Aliguwu's status in the Northern Qi Army is like that of General Feng Lao in Da Qin.
He had never been on the battlefield before. It was not that the Northern Qi royal family did not trust him, nor was it lack of strength, but that the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty wanted to support her son, so she could only kick Aliguwu away to make way for her son.
"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. He pointed to the mountain on the right and said to Feng Yuqian, "You
Is it possible to lead 30,000 people tonight and set up ambushes on both sides?"
"General, take the order." Feng Yuqian stepped forward and took the order.
"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 are any signs, they pour the kerosene and set fire to it.”
Qin Jiyan said that he was not giving the Northern Qi soldiers a way out, forcing them to walk into the mountain on the right.
"The last 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.
After the two major tasks were assigned, Qin Jiyan issued dozens of smaller orders, and none of the lieutenants who received the tasks hesitated.
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.
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.
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?
You must know that each of them has his or her own mission, and even if they do not have a mission, they are not capable of cutting off the retreat of Northern Qi's 300,000-strong army.
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.
Calculated this way, the number of troops to cut off the rear is less than 10,000.
With less than 10,000 troops and horses, who can cut off the retreat of Northern Qi's 300,000-strong army? Who can complete this task?
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...
Qin Jiyan asked everyone to retreat without saying anything.
"Uh..." The lieutenants were all stunned. They wanted to ask but no one dared to ask. They could only walk out of the main camp with doubts and uneasiness.
They had just walked not far when someone said impatiently, "Little General, did the Emperor say who should go to the rear and cut off Northern Qi's retreat?"
"I've been listening for a long time, but I still can't figure out who the emperor wants to send?"
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?"
"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, he 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.
His words and emotions soon affected other people. Some people lowered their voices uneasily and asked everyone, "In this battle tomorrow, we..." Do we still have a chance of winning?
The rest of the words were not spoken out loud, but everyone could understand what they meant.
Feng Yuqian originally didn't want to pay attention to it, 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."
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...
