In the next few days, Baiqi led his army into complete seclusion.
Other than sending out some scouts to clean up the Wei army's scouts and keeping in touch with Meng Ao, Sima Geng, and Wang He, there was no other action.
Even the scouts he sent out were experienced veterans of the Qin army. He did not dare to send new recruits out, afraid that he would accidentally alert the enemy.
However, even though Baiqi was being extremely careful, as time passed, the Wei army still felt that something was amiss.
The scouts sent out by the Wei army had not returned to the camp to report for several days, which naturally aroused the vigilance of Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng, and the others.
However, even if the Wei army realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.
Meng Ao, Sima Geng, and Wang He each led 50,000 troops. The 150,000 troops were only 10 kilometers away from the Wei army camp.
Meng Ao led 50,000 troops from the west to the Wei camp.
Sima Geng and Wang He led the Qin army from the north of the Wei camp and headed straight for the Wei camp.
Including Ying Zheng's 50,000 strong army, once the Qin army gathered, the Wei army camp would be attacked from three sides.
After receiving the news from the other three armies, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile. The Qin army had a total of 200,000 soldiers, and they were spread out to the west, north, and east of the Wei army. This time, the Wei army of 100,000 soldiers had no way of escaping.
He was going to take down these 100,000 Wei troops. None of them could escape.
"Reporting, Great General, a large army has been discovered in the southeast direction. They are marching towards Handan City.”
Just as Baiqi thought that victory was within his grasp, a spy from the Qin army suddenly reported.
"Which country's army is it?" Bai Qi frowned and asked.
"Looking at the flag, it seems to be the army of the Chu Country.”The scout answered truthfully.
"The army of Chu?" Bai Qi muttered softly after hearing this. He seemed to have expected this, so he was not too surprised.
Furthermore, the reason why Baiqi ordered the other three Qin armies to join him was to prevent the Chu army and even the Han army from providing reinforcements.
Otherwise, if it was just Wei Wuji's 100,000-strong army, Baiqi's 50,000-strong army would be enough to deal with them. There was no need for Meng Ao, Sima Geng, and Wang He's three armies to gather.
"How many people does the Chu army have?" Baiqi asked.
"I don't know the exact number of people, but the initial estimate is 100,000.”the scout replied.
"Continue to track the movements of the Chu army. Report to me if anything happens.”Baiqi ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The scout bowed, cupped his fists, and left.
Following this, Baiqi handed the 50,000 troops to another Qin general, Commander Meng Wu.
Meng Wu was the son of Meng Ao, the father of Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
At this moment, Meng Wu was only around 30 years old and was in his prime.
Furthermore, he had been following his father Meng Ao and Baiqi through many battles, so he had a lot of experience. Baiqi naturally trusted Meng Wu.
Baiqi led Bai Mang and several hundred of his personal guards north to meet up with Wang He and Sima Geng.
……
Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng, and the other generals of the Wei Army were seated in the tent of the commander of the Wei Army.
However, the atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing at the moment. Everyone had a miserable look on their faces.
"Lord Xinling, why don't we retreat?”
"That's right. Now that Handan City has been taken, the morale of the Qin army is sky-high. With the Qin country's Great General Baiqi personally leading the army, it will be very difficult for us to defeat the Qin army with just 100,000 Wei soldiers.”
After a long time, the Wei generals in the tent spoke up one after another. Their opinion was to retreat.
If Handan City had not fallen yet, they could still save Handan City if they joined forces with the Zhao army.
But now that Handan City had fallen, everything was meaningless.
Especially when the commander of the Qin army was the famous Great General Baiqi.
Not many of the generals of the Six Nations had the courage to face Baiqi.
"Who said that we only have 100,000 people? The Chu Country has already agreed to send troops. Moreover, the Chun Shenjun of the Chu Country, Huang Xie, has already led 100,000 Chu troops over.”
"The Qin army is currently attacking cities and plundering territory within the Zhao territory. They are very tired and scattered. If we encounter the Qin army, our army will definitely win.”
Wei Wuji immediately said.
Although he was not confident in facing Bai Qi, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to act as if victory was within his grasp.
Otherwise, if they already thought that they couldn't win before the war even started, how could they fight the war?
He only hoped that he would not encounter Baiqi or the main force of the Qin army. With the 200,000 soldiers of the Wei and Chu armies, they would definitely win.
"General, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie of the Chu Country has led 100,000 Chu soldiers and appeared 5 kilometers southeast of our camp.”At this moment, a Wei spy came to report.
Baiqi mainly scattered the Qin scouts in the east, west, and north of the Wei camp. In order to prevent the Wei army from discovering the movements of the Qin army in these three directions, he basically cleared out all the Wei scouts in these three directions.
Especially after Baiqi received the news from the Chu army in the southeast, he intentionally did this so that the Wei army could also receive the news of the Chu army coming to help.
It was obvious that Baiqi wanted the Wei and Chu armies to meet up and wipe them out.
"Good!" After Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng heard this, their faces lit up.
This was the only good news they had heard in this period of time.
"Immediately send someone to send a message to Chun Shenjun and ask him to come to the camp to discuss the strategy to resist Qin.”Wei Wuji ordered the scout.
……
"Greetings, Great General!"
Just as Wei Wuji was sending a message to Chun Shenjun, planning to discuss the strategy to resist Qin, Baiqi appeared in the camp of Wang He and Sima Geng.
In the tent, Wang He, Sima Geng, and the other generals of the Qin army stood up and bowed to Baiqi.
All the generals looked at Baiqi with admiration and respect.
"Generals, you're welcome!" Bai Qi said calmly.
"Send someone to General Meng Ao and ask him to come over to discuss the battle.”
Bai Qi instructed Bai Mang after he sat down.
"Yes, sir!" " Understood!" Bai Mang replied before turning around and leaving the tent.
