Chapter 1158: Encirclement and Annihilation of Yang Lin (II)
For the generals who command the army, the stimulation of having a strong opponent is undoubtedly a great improvement in their own ability.
Yang Lin has been beaten since he met Bai Qi, and under this huge psychological pressure, his commander has also been permanently improved by as much as 2 points.
Now Yang Lin's commander attribute has risen from 93 at his peak to 95.
But in the face of Bai Qi, the commander of 103, the commander of 95 points is still useless, Yang Lin can barely compete with it with the help of the city, as soon as he leaves Yewang City, he is still beaten by all kinds of violence, and it is difficult to even fight back effectively.
For Yang Lin, who was trapped in Sizhou, the only way to survive was to break the encirclement and break through Hangu Pass with Yang Guang, and then he could return to Guanzhong smoothly.
However, Bai Qi obviously knew this, so he must have set up an ambush on the way to Hangu Pass.
Yang Lin had fully appreciated Bai Qi's power, and he was not sure that under Bai Qi's ambush, he broke the layers of ambushes and arrived at Hangu Pass, so this way of life was almost blocked.
Trapping and defending Yewang City is a dead end, and retaking Hangu Pass is still a dead end, and the Liang army seems to have fallen into a situation of ten deaths.
Yang Lin was unwilling to fail like this, he racked his brains to think about a way to break the game, and even his hair turned white most of the time, and finally he came up with a way to put him to death and come back to life.
Yewang grain and grass will not be able to hold for a long time, and Hangu Pass is in danger and is destined to be difficult to reach, so it is better to turn around and kill Henan Yin, turn Sizhou upside down, and then raise grain and grass on the spot to delay time.
The food and grass will be exhausted, which is the biggest crisis of the Liang army, once the food is exhausted, if the army has no food to eat, there is no need for the Qin army to attack, and the Liang army will collapse by itself.
Therefore, for Yang Lin, the top priority is not to leave Sizhou, but to find life-saving food, only with enough grain and grass, even if it is another year, Yang Lin is sure that he can do it.
There is enough food and grass in Luoyang City, which is enough for the Liang army to consume, but with the troops in Yang Lin's hands, it is obviously impossible to capture Luoyang.
However, Henan Yin has 21 cities, and no matter which city is captured, Yang Lin can also collect grain from the people, and even grab grain, which cannot completely solve the grain and grass crisis, but at least it can survive for a longer period of time.
Yang Lin felt that with the strength in his hands, it was impossible to get out of trouble smoothly in the face of Bai Qi, so he pinned his hopes on Yang Guang outside Hangu Pass.
As long as Yang Guang can persist until he breaks through Hangu Pass, then the dead end will become a way to live, and then Yang Lin will naturally be able to retreat to the pass smoothly.
As for the life and death of the people in the city, it is not something that Yang Lin can manage, after all, he is now difficult to protect himself, between the lives of the soldiers and the lives of the people, Yang Lin decisively chose the former.
After finalizing the decision to turn Sizhou upside down, Yang Lin ordered to collect all the grain and grass in the hands of the people in Yewang City, and after holding on to Yewang for ten days, he abandoned the city with all the grain and grass at night.
Yang Lin pretended to go to Hangu Pass, but halfway changed direction and killed Yin in Henan to the east.
Yang Lin thought that he would give up a more secure way, but he chose the plan of 'putting it to death and then revital', Bai Qi would never have thought of it, but he didn't know that Bai Qi also prevented him Yang Lin from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
After Bai Qi realized that Yang Lin was about to abandon the city and flee, in order to prevent Yang Linyu from dying and breaking the net, he chose to deliberately let him lead the army to leave.
Bai Qi only had a total of 60,000 troops in his hands, and since he was not sure about Yang Lin's specific goal, he chose the most secure arrangement.
Bai Qi ordered Jiang Song to lead 20,000 troops to ambush on the front line of Hangu, and ordered Ran Min to lead 30,000 troops to ambush on the front line of Luoyang, while he personally led 10,000 troops and disguised himself as 30,000 troops, posing as if the main force was still in the wild king.
As soon as Yang Lin left with his front foot, Bai Qi then occupied Yewang City, and when he learned that Yang Lin had changed his course, Bai Qi and Jiang Song's army immediately surrounded and left.
Yang Lin did not fall into ambush easily, but wanted to ambush Ran Min's army, but Ran Min was also extremely cautious and did not fall for Yang Lin.
Ran Min decisively gave up the ambush, and instead retreated to the main road to enter Henan Yin, using the fortifications built in advance and the advantage of bows and crossbows to temporarily block the Liang army.
Yang Lin launched several attacks, but under the thousands of volleys of the Qin army, they were all shot back.
Just when Yang Lin was thinking about whether to make a detour, he learned that in the two directions behind, Bai Qi and Jiang Song had already killed.
Yang Lin, who was faintly aware of the bad situation, saw that it was difficult to break through Ran Min in the short term, so he decisively chose a detour, after all, although the detour was time-consuming, it would at least avoid the risk of being surrounded on three sides.
But what Yang Lin didn't expect was that there was still a Qin army blocking the road after the detour, in order to avoid being surrounded, Yang Lin could only continue to detour, anyway, the terrain of Sizhou was open, and the Qin army's strength was not sufficient, no matter how to encircle, Yang Lin could always bypass.
In this way, the 60,000 troops of Bai Qi, Ran Min, and Jiang Song surrounded Yang Lin's Liang army from the east, southwest, and northwest.
After Yang Lin made three detours, the encirclement of the Qin army had shrunk smaller and smaller, and the living space was getting tighter and tighter, until Bai Qi took advantage of the terrain and trapped him at the junction of Hongnong and Yin in Henan.
After listening to Qin Hao's explanation, all the generals were shocked when they heard it.
60,000 troops besieged nearly 50,000 troops, think about it and know how difficult it is, now the troops on Bai Qi's side must be extremely tight, waiting for their support.
"The siege of 60,000 troops against nearly 50,000 Liang troops is impossible to arrange everything, but Bai Qi has almost done it perfectly, and now we have to fill the last link of the encirclement."
After speaking, Qin Hao pulled out the Tianwen sword at his waist and shouted: "The whole army will go on the march." ”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
The 12,000-strong army roared like an earth-shattering roar, and the morale of the whole army was like a rainbow, and after leaving Luoyang, they went straight to the Hongnong battlefield.
Two days later, Henan Yin and Hongnong junction.
After getting rid of Bai Qi's encirclement again, Yang Lin still led the army to constantly look for a way out, but under the rapid march of several days, the whole army looked extremely tired.
"General, the road ahead has been blocked by Ran Min again."
Yang Lin's face instantly turned pale when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked left and right, "How many days of grain and grass are left?" ”
"It's less than five days, and if you save some food, you can still last seven or eight days."
Yang Lin suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, and after quickly stabilizing, he couldn't help muttering: "The city closest to this place still needs to march for two days, and if you take a detour, you will need to walk for four days. ”
As soon as Yuwen Chengdu heard it, Yang Lin still wanted to make a detour, so he looked at Yang Lin with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "General Yang, you can't spare it, if the road ahead is blocked again, our army will have no hope at all." ”
