For the entire day, Baiqi was making plans for the Battle of Changping.
Just like before, Baiqi used the strategy of luring the enemy deeper into the city.
They were prepared to cut off all the retreat routes of the Zhao army and gather them in Sang City before sending troops to attack Sang City.
At that time, the Zhao army that had lost their rations would definitely leave the city and fight to the death with the Qin army.
The Qin army would then be able to lure the Zhao army to Ping Shan, limiting the combat ability of the Zhao cavalry. After that, the Qin army would surround the Zhao army and trap them all in Ping Shan.
At that time, the defeat of the Zhao army was only a matter of time.
However, the premise of the plan was to block the supply route of the Zhao army.
This important task was handed over to Ying He and Meng Wu.
That night, Ying Mo told Wang Jian about his next move.
"Little Wang, do you dare to fight me?”
"Brother Qin, can I join the battle too?”Wang Jian had an excited expression.
Ying He patted Wang Jian's shoulder and said," Of course you will go. Don't forget our bet. If you don't witness it, what will you do if you say that I'm cheating?”
Wang Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, he had never taken Ying He's bet seriously. He thought that it was just a joke.
After all, it was impossible to kill a thousand people in the first battle!
He didn't expect Ying Chi to take it seriously!
" Cough cough, Brother Qin, the war is the most important thing right now. There's no need for us to…"
"What? You don't have confidence in me?" Ying Kong raised his eyebrows.”
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Wang Jian hurriedly shook his head, thinking that this was not a matter of confidence at all, because this was completely unrealistic!
"Then have a good rest tonight and follow me tomorrow!”
Wang Jian opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, it turned into a soundless sigh.
He really did not know what to say.
Did he mean that Ying Mo didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?
Or is it that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers?
They really treated war as a game!
Seeing that Ying He had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep, Wang Jian thought to himself,"Looks like I have to think about what I should ask of him in advance.”
The next morning.
Ying He, Wang Jian, and Meng Wu came to a hill behind the camp.
A thousand cavalrymen were waiting on the hill.
Everyone was wearing armor, holding a weapon, carrying bows and arrows on their shoulders, and carrying dry rations.
Ying Chi glanced at the one thousand cavalrymen and found that all of them were brave and valiant, and their eyes were filled with killing intent. Clearly, they were all elite soldiers who had been through the baptism of war.
"This is a surprise attack. All operations must be carried out in secret. Do not expose your whereabouts. Otherwise, everyone will be punished according to military law.”
"Understood!"
One thousand people said in unison.
Ying Chi slightly nodded, then said to Meng Wu and Wang Jian,"1,000 people is too much of a target. I've decided to split into three groups. I'll lead 400 troops, and the two of you will each take 300.”
Meng Wu and Wang Jian looked at each other and nodded."Understood!"
Ying He mounted his horse and said to the two,""I'll wait for you at the Valley of the Plains!"
After that, Ying He led 400 cavalrymen and set off toward the northeast.
"Why do I feel uncertain?" Meng Wu suddenly said.”
Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu and thought in his heart, so you don't have confidence either.
"Forget it. I should hurry up and head to the Valley of the Plains.”
After that, Meng Wu and Wang Jian each led 300 cavalrymen and set off.
Meng Wu headed southeast while Wang Jian headed north.
Qin army camp, on the city tower.
Wang He looked at Ying He's back as he left, and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes.
"Wuan Jun, wouldn't it be a little rash to hand this matter over to the Third Young Master?”Wang He couldn't help but say.
"You don't trust him?" Baiqi said calmly.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but Third Young Master has never fought before, so it's inevitable that people will be worried.”
"Moreover, he only brought a thousand soldiers. If anything were to happen, we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.”
Wang He voiced his worries.
Bai Qi shook his head." Then you're underestimating him. This kid isn't that simple."”
"Wu Anjun seems to be very confident in Third Young Master?”Wang He looked at Baiqi in surprise.
Bai Qi smiled. How could he not trust Ying Chen?
After all, he was the one who had taught Ying Chen, and he had learned seventy to eighty percent of his skills!
As for Ying Mo's lack of battle experience, Baiqi was not too worried.
Experience was gained through hard work, and Ying He would take this step sooner or later!
"He is a natural leader. You have only spent a short time with him, but you will understand after a while.”Baiqi said meaningfully.
A natural leader!
Wang He was startled. He didn't expect Baiqi to have such a high opinion of Ying He.
He couldn't help but become interested in Ying Chen." Then we'll just have to wait and see!"”
……
Pingchuan Canyon was not far from the Qin camp, and they could arrive in a day at most.
However, this time, Ying He and his men were doing this in secret. They couldn't let the Zhao army find them, and they had to bypass the Zhao army's defense line.
Therefore, it would definitely not take a day.
Ying He decided to go deep into the forest and use the forest as a cover. This way, he would be able to greatly reward the risk of being exposed.
However, this would also reduce the speed of the army.
After all, the mountain forest was not suitable for cavalry to travel.
Ying Mo felt helpless about this. If he was alone, he could have abandoned his horse and walked on foot.
With Ying Chen's speed, he could definitely reach the valley within a day.
However, Ying Mo was not the only one in this operation, so he had to be patient and lead his subordinates through the forest.
As for getting lost?
Of course, that was impossible. Ying Jiu had been cultivating with Baiqi for many years, and Baiqi had taught him a lot of ways to determine the direction of the army in the forest.
Even if he could walk out of the forest with his eyes closed, he would know where to go as long as he looked up at the sun in the sky and followed its trajectory.
He could also cut down an old tree and tell the general direction by the direction in which the tree rings rotated.
These were the basic skills that soldiers should master in battle.
After two days of traveling in the forest, Ying Kong and his men finally walked out of the forest.
After that, they secretly marched for half a day before arriving at their destination.
As for Meng Wu and Wang Jian, they were still on their way and estimated that they would arrive a day later.
In other words, Ying Mo had arrived at Pingchuan Valley one day earlier.
"Let's go up the two mountains first, then rest and wait for the Zhao army to transport the rations!”Ying Kong ordered.
The 400 elite soldiers were very fast. They hid themselves in the bushes on the mountains on both sides of the canyon.
After that, Ying He sent two more scouts to scout the area.
Just as Ying Kong was about to take a sip of water and rest before a rock, a scout suddenly ran over from afar.
"General, we found traces of the Zhao army's grain team 500 meters ahead!”
"What a coincidence?" Ying Kong paused.
This was too much of a coincidence. They had just arrived when the Zhao army's grain team arrived!
"How many people came?"
"There are about 2,000 people, including about 1,800 armored soldiers and more than 200 grain carts!”the scout replied.
Ying Mo did some calculations in his mind. One cart of grain was nearly 200 catties, so 200 carts of grain would be about 40,000 catties of grain!
"Good heavens, how poor must the Zhao Country be? They only shipped 40,000 catties of grain, and it's not even enough for 360,000 Zhao soldiers to eat for a few days.”
"No wonder the State of Zhao wants to end this war as soon as possible. It turns out that they can't afford to raise an army anymore.”
Ying Kong thought.
Then, Ying Kong compared the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
Meng Wu and Wang Jian's six hundred soldiers would take at least half a day to arrive, while their side only had four hundred men, while the enemy had two thousand men. They were at a disadvantage in numbers.
Fortunately, they had set up in advance and had an excellent geographical advantage.
Moreover, the Zhao army only had 1800 armored soldiers.
I have the advantage!
Ying Mo was excited and immediately ordered,"Get the brothers ready and listen to my orders!”
"General, we only have 400 people."”
