Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1290: Traveling thousands of miles to fight at Zhenbeiguan (Part 1)

Chapter 1288: Fighting for Zhenbeiguan from thousands of miles away (Part 1)

What Gao Chong and Jiang Song didn't know was that the calmness on Bai Qi's face was actually an act, and he was actually panicking in his heart. However, he believed in the judgment of his lord and the military advisors, so he acted so openly. Expose yourself.

“Report...to the Grand Governor, after Murong Chui learned the intelligence of our army, instead of leading the army to attack, he instead reduced his troops to the surrounding area of ​​Yinshan City.”

"What?"

 Jiang Song and Gao Chong both looked surprised, while Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This news came so timely that Bai Qi almost lost his power.

“Murong Chui has an army of 200,000, but instead of taking the initiative to attack, he shrinks his troops. Is he stupid?”

Gao Chong found it difficult to understand this. He really couldn't understand what these famous generals were thinking.

"Perhaps Murong Chui just wants to concentrate his troops, and then he can eat us all in one bite under Yinshan City." Jiang Song said with some uncertainty.

Bai Qi glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "Murong Chui is afraid that we will defeat him one by one."

Jiang Song and Gao Chong widened their eyes again. Damn it, an army of 200,000 people faced an army of 50,000 people. How could they be afraid that the other side would defeat them one by one? Are famous generals so cautious when conducting battles?

Bai Qi did not explain it carefully to the two generals. They were in different positions, and it was difficult for them to understand no matter how he explained it.

“Murong Chui concluded that our army was going to rescue Yinshan City, so he concentrated 90% of his troops around Yinshan City. This exposed Yuanmeng’s biggest weakness and gave our army a chance to win.”

As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corners of his white lips. Jiang Song and Gao Chong were so excited to hug him when they saw it. It was the smile that the Governor would only show when he was sure of victory.

 “The final battle has begun.”

Bai Qi's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he said with a faint smile: "Next, our army will divide into two groups and start taking action. The governor personally led 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, pretending to be a 50,000 rescue army, and attracted Murong Chui's attention head-on. And contain Yuan Meng's troops concentrated in Yinshan City."

As he spoke, Bai Qi took out a map, pointed to a route and said: "General Jiang Song is the leader, and General Gao Chong is the deputy. The two of you will order 25,000 cavalry to go north. Take this route at night and bypass it. Pass Yuan Meng's spies and sentry posts and head straight to this place as quickly as possible, where you will find the supplies you need most."

After Jiang Song and Gao Chong looked at each other, Jiang Song stood up and said: "Grand Governor, the task of containing Murong Chui is too dangerous, so I'll leave it to the general. You and General Gao Chong can lead the army north."

The 25,000-strong army restrains the 200,000-strong army. If you are not careful, the whole army will definitely be annihilated. And Bai Qi is the second-ranking figure in the Qin army, so Jiang Song is not willing to take this risk with Bai Qi.

Bai Qi naturally knew Jiang Song's kindness, but he still shook his head and refused, and explained: "If Murong Chui can't see the governor, he will definitely find out the true nature of the army, so only if the governor leaves Murong Chui behind, he will not dare to There is something unusual.”

Jiang Song was silent for a while and then said: "You can let someone pretend to be the governor, and you don't have to take risks yourself, the governor."

Bai Qi shook his head again and said: "Fake goods are fake after all. If they are discovered, everything will be lost."

 “This…” Jiang Song was speechless.

Late that night, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led 25,000 cavalry and circled eastward after leaving the camp, while Bai Qi led the remaining 25,000 troops, pretending to be an army of 50,000 , arrogantly continued marching to Yinshan City to confuse Murong Chui.

"Report... General, Bai Qi has slowed down his marching speed. He only walked a dozen miles a day. At this speed, it will probably take seven or eight days to reach Yinshan City." Murong Chui has just received the message from the grassland In the book, Zhuge Liang defeated Huchuquan with the Fire Bull Formation, and Yuanmeng lost 120,000 troops. So as soon as he got the news, he subconsciously thought that this was a trap that Bai Qi could not fall off.

"Bai Qi deliberately slowed down his marching speed. On the surface, it seemed that he didn't care about Yinshan City. But in fact, it was quite the opposite. He must have set up a trap similar to the 'Fire Bull Formation', waiting for us to take the initiative to attack it. The general did not Fooled by him.”

Murong Chui's eyes were full of wisdom, and he immediately ordered: "Send the slave army to increase the attack on Yinshan City. I don't believe that Bai Qi can endure it."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Yinshan City, which had taken a breath of relief, became even more difficult due to the arrival of Bai Qi's reinforcements. Even Yang Liulang personally participated in the defense of the city. Fortunately, Li Jing was here to control the overall situation, otherwise Yinshan City might have been defeated early. It was defeated by Murong Chui.

After one day of siege, Yuanmeng's slave army lost more than 4,000 troops, and the Yinshan garrison suffered more than 1,000 casualties, including 300 main force.

"Report...to General Murong, Bai Qi's army still only traveled less than twenty miles yesterday."

Murong Chui's eyes flashed, he had walked more than yesterday, so he said in a deep voice: "Give me the order for the slave army to continue attacking Yinshan City to the death."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 After another day of siege battle, Yuanmeng's slave army lost more than 4,000 to 5,000 troops, and the Yinshan garrison suffered more than 1,500 casualties, including 400 main force. This time, even Li Jing personally participated in the battle.

Murong Chui looked at the Yinshan City that had been crumbling but could not be captured. He felt a headache and sighed softly: "Yang Liulang and Li Jing's will to resist is really too strong."

"Report to General Murong that Bai Qi's army traveled less than twenty-five miles yesterday."

Murong Chui immediately smiled when he heard this and said with a smile: "Bai Qi is panicking. It seems that he is not as flawless as the legend. I will continue to attack Yinshan City and force Bai Qi again."

Murong Chui actually thought too much. He thought Bai Qi could not lay a trap for him to fall into, but what he didn't know was that the reason why Bai Qi's army's march slowed down was because most of the cavalry in the army had left. , 20,000 of the remaining 25,000 troops are infantry, so the marching speed will naturally slow down.

Of course, even if the 25,000 cavalry left, the Han army would not be marching so slowly. The reason for this was Bai Qi's deliberate move to confuse Murong Chui's strategy and delay Jiang Song and Gao Chong. .

Murong Chui originally thought that Yinshan City was in danger and would force Bai Qi to speed up his march, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Qi's army not only did not continue marching, but stopped and camped on the spot.

Yinshan City is in danger, but Bai Qi refuses to leave, which makes Murong Chui puzzled.

At the same time, Jiang Song and Gao Chong led 25,000 fine cavalry, and after making a large circle, they finally arrived thirty miles south of Zhenbeiguan.

There is a small armory here secretly arranged by the Jin army.
