Chapter 1651 Sweeping the Heaven Devouring Empire (15)
In the big tent.
Bai Qi stood with his hands behind his hands, staring at the military map in front of him with a solemn expression. He looked back and forth and suddenly said:
"Generals, the battle for the Royal City is temporarily postponed. If the enemy does not take the initiative to attack, our army must not attack it in vain."
"Before the decisive battle with the Sky Devouring enemy, we must first understand the situation of Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Rengui. Otherwise, even if the Huben and Huben armies capture Zhan Wang City with their divine power alone, they will not be able to capture Taichu City in one go."
"The commander-in-chief is right, I will send out more scouts now!"
Wang Yanzhang raised his fist and said, he stood up and was about to walk out of the big tent. Suddenly, there was a noise from outside the big tent, and the long neighing of horses pierced the night sky.
"Commander, you are back, the scout is back!"
The guarding soldiers entered the tent, and hurried voices rang out. Bai Qi's generals stood up and looked outside the tent, only to see three scouts striding towards them.
The three of them grasped the broad swords at their waists and knelt down to salute. Bai Qi raised his hand to signal the three of them to stand up and asked: "Can you see the three commanders-in-chief Li Jing, Wei Qing and Xue Rengui?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. I will fulfill my mission and meet Commander-in-Chief Li!"
"Go back to the Commander-in-Chief, I will fulfill my mission and meet Commander-in-Chief Wei!"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. I will fulfill my mission and meet Commander-in-Chief Xue!"
"Okay, let's quickly tell you how the situation is with the three armies?"
Bai Qi turned around and sat down in front of the wooden case, and the generals also took their seats one after another. The three scouts began to inform Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui of the situation of the three armies.
Hear the sound.
Lu Bu flew into a rage, slapped the wooden table in front of him with his palm, and shouted angrily: "Yun Huan, Hill, the three kingdoms of mythical beasts turned against each other before the battle, putting our army in danger. Their true energy is extremely sinister."
"Feng Xian, there is no need to be angry. Fortunately, the casualties of the three armies are not serious yet, but it is good that the situation is clear now. All four countries are enemies of Wu and Chu. The next battle must be carefully planned."
Bai Qi knew that the three armies of Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui were approaching Zhanwang City, but enemy troops from the Four Kingdoms were also coming with them. He had to make plans in advance to deal a heavy blow to the armies of the Four Kingdoms.
Otherwise, when the enemy armies from the four kingdoms arrive and encircle the enemy armies in the King of War's city, the Chu army will be in danger again. Therefore, Bai Qi prepared to strike preemptively and set up an ambush while the enemy armies were pursuing the three Chu armies.
Obviously, Bai Qi was preparing to turn his passivity into an initiative and severely inflict heavy losses on the enemy without their understanding of their situation.
"As a courtesy and as a filial piety, someone has a plan to defeat the enemy's army. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Commander Bai, don't be too pretentious. As long as you can defeat the enemy, I'm interested!"
Lu Bu's strong voice sounded, and when he saw Bai Qi's signal, he led the generals forward quickly and looked at the military map.
"According to what the scouts said, the three armies of Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Xue Rengui are approaching Zhanwang City, and they will be pursued by the enemy behind them. Therefore, we divided our troops into three groups and set up ambushes at Fengshan Mountain, Qingfeng Cliff, and Wangfeng Slope."
Bai Qi held the long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the military map. The generals nodded. Setting up ambushes at Fengshan Mountain, Qingfeng Cliff, and Wangfeng Slope was indeed a good choice, but they also had worries in their hearts.
"Commander, if our troops divide into three groups to ambush the enemy, and the enemy troops in the King of War take the opportunity to attack, our army will still be in danger."
Luo Cheng frowned slightly, expressing his worries. The other generals nodded one after another. Luo Cheng's words also worried them.
"Haha, what Luo Shaobao said makes sense. Since the generals think that an ambush battle is feasible, then we have to discuss the details and how to hide it from the enemy so that no news can be obtained from Zhan Wangcheng."
Bai Qi returned his long sword to its sheath, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, motioned for the generals to take their seats, looked sideways at Li Cunxiao, and said: "Cunxiao, you have eight hundred dead soldiers under your command. They are good at concealment, spying, and archery. They are the key to this battle."
.”
"The commander-in-chief said bluntly, what should Cun Xiao do with the eight hundred dead men under his command?"
"Cunxiao, ordered eight hundred dead soldiers to sneak outside the four gates of Zhanwang City. We must not allow the messengers or scouts entering and leaving Zhanwang City to leave alive. We must completely cut off contact between the enemy and Zhanwang City."
"Second, Cunxiao, Fengxian, Gao Aocaoer and three others led the army to Fengshan Mountain, Qingfeng Cliff, Wangfengpo three places to set up ambushes, and a certain person was stationed here to confuse the enemy in the royal city."
Bai Qi informed the generals of the plan, Li Cunxiao, and everyone in Lu Bu looked worried. If they took away the army, Bai Qi would have less than 100,000 soldiers at his side. Once the enemy in Zhanwang City was aware of it, the army would come out in full force.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses were unable to stop nearly a million enemy troops.
Seeing that the generals were worried, Bai Qi chuckled lightly and said, "Generals, don't worry. After today's battle, the enemy is already frightened. They will not take the initiative to attack before they are sure of victory."
"You are going to ambush the enemy. It will only take five days at the earliest. I believe Xian Zhen and Li Keyong will not notice it!"
Bai Qi seems to be strategizing and confident, but in fact he is also betting that the enemy will not dare to leave the city to fight, but if any link goes wrong, his life will be in danger.
However, Bai Qi did not show it, because he had made up his mind. Even if the enemy army was aware of it, he would still be able to fight with the march of 100,000 gods, and his life or death was not yet known.
But if the three ambush battles are won, the direction of the battle for the Heaven-Eating Empire will be biased towards the Chu Kingdom.
The way to use military force lies in surprise, danger, and treachery. Bai Qi thought it was worth a gamble.
"Okay, generals, don't worry about me. Go down early to prepare. In the middle of the night, the army will set off to three ambush locations."
Li Cunxiao, Lu Bu, and Gao Aocao led the Chu generals to leave. Bai Qi motioned for Di Qing to come forward and whispered in his ear. Di Qing followed the order and left. His face was as dark as water and he was lost in thought.
at this time.
Inside the War King's City.
The general's mansion was brightly lit, illuminating the entire mansion as if it were daytime. In the meeting hall, Xian Zhen took his seat at the top, while Li Keyong, Du Hui, Shi Jiantang, Ruan Wengzhong, Li Wudi and others sat on both sides.
"Commander, there was a battle with the Chu army below the city today. Our army lost troops and generals. We are now sending a scout general to report to Taichu City. I am afraid that His Majesty will be furious because we are not doing things well."
Du Hui looked sideways at Xian Zhen, raised his fist and saluted, and said, only to see him shake his head and said: "The enemy is so brave that our army cannot defeat them completely. I am just reporting truthfully so that Your Majesty can make arrangements early."
"If we are worried that your majesty will punish you, we will hide it and not report it. If the Chu army invades King Zhan's city in the future, we will all lose our heads."
"The commander-in-chief's words make sense. Don't underestimate the Chu army outside the city. The Shenxing, tiger and Ben army that fought against our army today are more powerful than Li Jing's army."
"Therefore, it can be seen that the army led by Bai Qi, Lu Bu, and Li Cunxiao is the strongest vanguard of Chu State. We must report to Your Majesty to make early arrangements so that we can unite our forces to annihilate the Chu army."
Li Keyong fought against Li Jing and Bai Qi one after another, and he knew that the Chu army's combat power was terrifying. It was not that he had no confidence in his army, but that the Chu army was too powerful.
Wherever I go, I feel like I am invincible and you are free to do whatever you want. (To be continued)
