Chapter 560: The Battle (2)
Cao Wuxian said: "Back to the lord, now there are two choices, one is to stop the attack, immediately collect the troops and retreat, then all the arrangements on the plateau will be invalid, but in this way, the morale of our army will also plummet, if the plateau takes advantage of the opportunity of our army's retreat to launch a full-scale attack, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist the attack of the representative army, and it is very likely that the whole army will be defeated." β
Han Teng nodded, although he is not very proficient in the art of war, but he is also very pure, the main thing to fight in the war is morale, and the morale of the soldiers can only be drummed but not vented, the current scene is that the Qin army has the advantage, so the morale of the Qin army will naturally improve with the advance step by step, once the order is ordered to retreat, the morale of the Qin army is naturally quite large, and under this elimination, the representative army took advantage of the situation to launch a comprehensive counterattack on the Qin army, and the Qin army will definitely not be able to resist it, and it will collapse for thousands of miles. Unless the plateau did not order an attack on all fronts, but only fought back locally, the Qin army may still be able to hold on, but with the plateau's military talent, it will definitely not miss this fighter.
From this point of view, this choice is obviously the next policy, so Han Teng said: "What about the other one?" β
Cao Wuxian said: "That is, we first launched a full-front attack and forced the plateau to dispatch the whole army for a decisive battle, but in this way, the whole army fought a decisive battle, and our subordinates were not sure of victory." β
Han Teng couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, in this kind of large-scale battle, without a certain degree of certainty, it is very dangerous to launch a full-line attack, unless he has a considerable advantage in strength, because in this way, it is equivalent to playing all the cards in his hand, leaving not a single hole card, completely giving the initiative to the opponent, and the opponent often still has considerable leeway, which can be adjusted and assigned according to the situation of the battlefield, and can advance or retreat. It can almost be said that it is invincible. Therefore, the average famous general will often keep a considerable part of the reserve force for the unforeseen needs, and will not send all the troops to attack on the whole line unless they have to do it or if there is an excellent fighter.
But in the current situation, the Qin army is already difficult to ride a tiger, because the 20,000 soldiers who have been put into the battlefield cannot be recovered, unless this group of soldiers is abandoned, there is no other choice at all.
It's just that once the whole army is ordered to attack, that is, to prepare for a comprehensive decisive battle with the Dai army, and in case of defeat, the Qin army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the entire front will also fall into a comprehensive passivity, that is to say, now the Qin army has no way to retreat, either a big victory or a big defeat, there is no third way to go. It's just that Han Teng knows very well in his heart, because he is forced to have a full-scale decisive battle with the Dai army, if he still has one or two thousand Nanyang troops in his hands, he may still be able to fight, but the current situation is indeed not a little certain. Therefore, Han Teng was also hesitant in his heart, whether to take the risk of attacking or preserve his strength.
At this time, Huo Blazing Sun said in a deep voice: "Lord, now we can't hesitate, we can only attack in an all-round way, and fight to the death with the Dai army, we would rather be defeated by the Dai army, but we must not be afraid of the enemy without fighting, just let a few of us go out and take the lead in the charge, we are not completely without a chance to win." β
Han Teng's heart moved, and he immediately realized that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although the Qin State is famous for its military force, it is not without defeat, so even if it loses this battle, it is not a big deal. As far as the overall situation is concerned, the defeat in this battle only affects this line of attack, at most the Qin army retreated to Jingcheng, and was able to hold the front, and it was not a rout on the whole line. On the contrary, if he withdrew from the army, although he could preserve some of his strength, it would not only greatly damage the morale of the Qin army, but also completely discredit the prestige he had established in the Qin State in the past few years. The Qin State values military exploits the most, and the soldiers of the Qin army also admire heroes the most, and no one will respect a person who is afraid of the enemy like a tiger on the battlefield and does not even dare to fight.
And more importantly, in his heart, he will have a terrible shadow of not daring to fight against Gao Yuan from now on, so how will he compete with Gao Yuan on the battlefield in the future.
After thinking about this, Han Teng suddenly woke up like an initiation, this battle would rather be defeated than have to fight. Therefore, Han Teng did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the Qin army on the left and right roads to attack with the whole army, reinforce the Qin army on the battlefield, and conduct a comprehensive decisive battle with the Dai army, and at the same time divide 20,000 of the 30,000 troops in the middle to join the Qin army on the left and right.
The soldiers of the Qin army didn't think so much, they only saw that their comrades fighting on the battlefield had achieved a relatively obvious advantage on the battlefield, forcing the Dai army to retreat again and again, so they all rubbed their fists and sharpened their hands, eager to try, and they couldn't wait to join the battlefield immediately and expand the results. After hearing Han Teng's order, the morale of the people suddenly rose, so they all lined up and pushed forward under the leadership of the respective generals.
However, Han Teng only ordered all the Qin troops to fight, but he did not send the five gods around him to fight, and after dividing the troops from the middle lane, now Han Teng's side is now only 10,000 troops, all of which are infantry, but this 10,000 army is Han Teng's personal private army, although the strength cannot be compared with the Nanyang army in the past, but it is also one of the elite soldiers in the Qin army.
But Han Teng's order really puzzled **, so after Han Teng gave the order, Huo Laming Yang immediately asked, "Lord, why don't you give us an order to fight." β
Han Teng smiled faintly, raised his arm, pointed forward, and said: "The highest mountain over there is the banner of the plateau, it must be the command point of the army, and the plateau must be there, I will divide the troops to reinforce the strength of the left and right armies, if the plateau does not make adjustments, on the left and right roads, our troops will be superior, and the probability of victory will increase, and if the plateau also divides troops to reinforce both sides, then his middle force will be weakened, and the task of our army is to attack this mountain with all our strength and go straight to the center of the army, At that time, Huo Lieyang, Jin Changdou, and Cao Wuxian will be injured, and the three of you will take the lead in the charge, and I will answer later. β
Only then did Huo Liyang understand Han Teng's intentions, and he had to admire, because now that the decisive battle is being held, the chances of the Qin army winning are really small, and Han Teng's arrangement is actually to attract the plateau to divide the troops, and then use the tactics of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, concentrate the elite soldiers and fierce generals, and attack the command center of the Dai army with all their might, give full play to the advantages of Han Teng's many masters, and strive to make a breakthrough on the local battlefield, even if the plateau cannot be killed or captured alive, as long as the plateau is forced to lead the army to retreat, it can also shake the military spirit of the Dai army. This is also where the Qin army's chance of victory lies.
Therefore, Huo Lieyang and Cao Wuxian were immediately excited, and said in unison: "Your subordinates have an order." And Jin Changdouyin said: "It seems that it should be my turn to play." β

As Ling Feng reported to the plateau, the soldiers responsible for managing the map layout hurriedly pushed all the black wooden blocks in the rear of the Qin army to the battlefield. Suddenly, the map was covered with black wooden blocks, and the black pressed formed a large patch.
Gao Yuan looked at the map, and then rushed to the top of the mountain to look into the distance, although there are many places blocked by trees and hills, but it can still be seen very clearly, the Qin army in the distance is really dispatched by the whole army, and the whole line of the Dai army is pushed over, so Gao Yuan also nodded, and said with a smile: "Very good, the Qin army really can't hold its breath." The order went down, and the whole army on the left and right attacked to meet the Qin army. β
With Gao Yuan's order, someone immediately rushed to the left and right flanks to give the order.
At this time, someone came to report to the plateau, and the banner of the main general of the Qin army had begun to move forward.
Gao Yuan nodded, and immediately understood the intention of the Qin army, obviously the Qin army also knew that it was not beneficial for the Qin army to launch a full-scale decisive battle now, so he wanted to use the tactics of the black tiger to give full play to the advantages of Han Teng's many masters, so as to concentrate superior forces to attack their own own formation, and win in danger. This is also the best plan for the Qin army to win.
However, Qin Jun's move did not disrupt the plateau's plan, and immediately said: "Ah Ran Shi beggars." β
Since Jiang Huanwu was promoted to the chief general of the Wu'an Army, the Fan Yong Army has also expanded its establishment, and now it has reached 10,000 people, and is divided into two armies, left and right, and two generals are set up respectively, which is actually to form two armies. And Ah Ran Shi Qimo was originally one of the seven thousand cavalry commanders of the Fan Yong Army in the past, because of his outstanding achievements in the Battle of Daliang, so after the expansion of the Fan Yong Army, he was promoted to the general of the Fan Yong Left Army.
After hearing Gao Yuan's call, Ah Ran Shi Qi Mo rushed to Gao Yuan's front in a few steps and said, "The last general." β
Gao Yuan said: "You immediately lead the left army of Fan Yong, detour from the woods on the right to the rear of the Qin army, and then launch a surprise attack on the left route army of the Qin army, and after defeating the left route of the Qin army, immediately turn to attack the middle route army of the Qin army, there must be no mistake." β
Ah Ran Shi Qimo immediately said: "The last general will be honored." After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, and led the army to attack.
Subsequently, Gao Yuan ordered two new armies in his middle to also be dispatched to reinforce the Dai army on the left, first to defeat the right army of the Qin army, and then to attack the middle of the Qin army together with the Dai army on the right, so that on the left and right roads, the Dai army will have a local advantage in strength. However, the army guarding and commanding the top of the mountain was only 6,000 soldiers from the Beiwei Army, as well as 2,000 female soldiers, and the remaining scout army under Ling Feng's command and the guards of the plateau, a total of no more than 9,000 people.
Because the female army is an all-cavalry army, the task of guarding the mountain and defending the plateau naturally fell on the body of the Beiwei army, and before the plateau gave the order, Zhao Jiang, the general of the Beiwei army, began to arrange, and ordered the Beiwei army to take down the hillside and prepare to meet the Qin army.
Gao Yuan is also very satisfied with the performance of the Beiwei Army, and he is indeed worthy of being one of the ace troops of the Dai Army.
In fact, the tactics of the plateau were as expected by Han Teng and others, first sending a small number of troops to fight, using the tactics of fighting and retreating, leading the Qin army to the front of the Dai army, if the Qin army did not increase its strength, then he would concentrate superior forces and defeat the Qin army that participated in the battle; And if the Qin army increases its strength, then the garrison of the main formation must be weak, and Zisi can dispatch cavalry troops to cover the mountains and dense forests to assault the main formation of the Qin army.
