Chapter 898: Destroy the Altar, Destroy the Sacrifices, and Break the Sacrificial Technique! Li Mu Still Has No Choice!
Generals: Huh? ! !
Li Hong said almost with gnashing teeth: "Zheng Xian was unwilling to convey the commander's words, but personally used words to anger Qin Chang'an Jun."
"I thought Zheng Xian would have a countermeasure."
"But I never thought that Zheng Xian was unable to break Qin Chang'an Jun's sacrifice?!"
"If Qin Chang'an Jun ordered the earth dragon to turn over in our army at a critical moment, what would happen to our army!"
Li Mu's provocation to Ying Chengjiao was in the service of the overall strategy, which was conducive to Li Mu's implementation of the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the depths, and he had already prepared countermeasures.
Now Zheng Anqi did not provoke Ying Chengjiao on behalf of Li Mu as Li Mu said, but provoked Ying Chengjiao himself, directly upgrading the war between mortals to a war between immortals and gods.
It would be fine if Zheng Anqi had a good plan and a countermeasure.
As a result, Zheng Anqi now said that he was in charge of killing but not burying? !
How could Li Hong not be angry!
Zheng Anqi was also extremely upset. Can he blame Zheng?
Who would have thought that Qin Changan was born in the year of the dog!
Zheng just sent out a signal of cooperation, but was chased and bitten by Qin Changan!
But on the surface, Zheng Anqi said calmly: "Qin Changan used witchcraft to defeat the enemy, and Zheng used fairy dates to help his friends."
"Zheng is unable to break Qin Changan's order to sacrifice the earth dragon, and Qin Changan can't break Zheng's fairy date merit!"
"And if Qin Changan wants to order the earth dragon to turn over, he needs to build an altar for sacrifice."
"According to Zheng's calculations, our army can stop Qin Changan from doing this!"
Li Hong wanted to say more, but Li Mu shouted in a deep voice: "Captain Li Hong, shut up!"
Li Hong had to swallow the subsequent words and could only look at Zheng Anqi angrily.
Li Mu continued, "When I was fighting Qin Chang'an at Fukouxing, I personally felt the power of Qin Chang'an ordering the earth dragon to turn over and defeat the enemy."
"As far as I know, this sacrifice can certainly attract the earth dragon's help, but there are many conditions."
"The altar for worshiping the earth dragon can be hidden in a hidden place, and there is no need to build an altar on the front line, but before the earth dragon turns over, the soldiers need to bury the sacrifice at the place where the earth dragon turns over."
"I think that by destroying the altar and eliminating the sacrifice, we may be able to defeat Qin Chang'an's sacrifice to ask the earth dragon to turn over!"
Li Mu firmly believed that Ying Chengjiao really asked the earth dragon to help.
But when Li Mu thought rationally along the superstitious line, he vaguely discovered one of the real conditions for Ying Chengjiao to order the earth dragon to turn over.
But what Li Mu didn't know was that Ying Chengjiao sent soldiers to bury not sacrifices, but black gunpowder!
Zheng Anqi heard this and said solemnly: "Zheng thinks this strategy can work!"
Li Mu ignored Zheng Anqi's agreement.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Send a message to the King of Yan, asking the King of Yan to lead the Yan army back immediately and join forces with our army!"
"Pass on my order!"
"Deputy General Tian Sheng leads his troops to attack the left wing of the Qin army!"
"Commander Lieutenant Li Hong leads his troops to attack the junction of the left wing of the Qin army and the front army!"
"The central army listens to the order and presses forward!"
At the same time
In the Qin army, Wang Ben gathered his troops and rode to meet Ying Chengjiao, bowed and said in a deep voice: "Report to the commander!"
"I think our army is far inferior to the enemy in the Yishui Great Wall, and we should be more cautious."
"It is true that our army defeated the enemy in this battle and even caused the Yan army to flee, but I think this is not enough to prove that our army can defeat more than one million enemy troops with only 440,000 troops, but it is just the result of the military strategy of both sides."
"Now the enemy will definitely try their best to attack our army after hearing that Chang'an Jun wants to build an altar and command the earth dragon, and the soldiers will definitely attack our army. The morale will also rise accordingly! "
"I advise you to postpone the construction of the altar and lead the troops back to the Yishui Great Wall first, and use the strength of the Yishui Great Wall to resist the enemy's attack."
"When the enemy's morale declines, Chang'an Jun will secretly order the civilians to build an altar in a hidden place and sacrifice to the earth dragon. I will take advantage of the enemy's fatigue and cooperate with the earth dragon to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!"
Ying Chengjiao's words that he was going to sacrifice to the earth dragon can indeed make the enemy panic and make some of the enemy lose their will to fight, but it will also make more enemy soldiers feel a sense of urgency and will to fight, and weaken their fear of dying on the battlefield.
You may die if you are overturned by the earth dragon, and you may also die if you confront the elite of the Qin army.
The former is inevitable, and the latter has a chance to survive, and if you gain something, you can get a reward.
In this case, what's there to be afraid of!
So in the next period of time, the morale of the enemy will be particularly high, and the enemy's offensive will become more fierce.
But when the enemy's spirit fades, the enemy's fear of the earth dragon will increase day by day, and morale will begin to decline.
In Wang Ben's view, Ying Chengjiao's declaration when answering in front of the battle is neither right nor wrong.
Whether you can avoid the impact when the enemy's morale is high and seize the opportunity to win when the enemy's morale is declining is the standard for judging right and wrong!
However, what Wang Ben never expected was that Ying Chengjiao looked at Wang Ben in surprise and said: "General Wang also thought that I wanted to build an altar to command the earth dragon?"
Wang Ben was shocked: "Didn't the commander just say that he wanted to build an altar for sacrifice and command the earth dragon to turn over?"
Ying Chengjiao's image of keeping his word is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even Wang Ben did not doubt whether Ying Chengjiao was fooling people.
Ying Chengjiao shook his head slightly and said, "As early as the Zheng County sacrifice, I told the king and the three dukes, nine ministers and generals that I have no ability to command the earth dragon, but I can occasionally hear the whereabouts of the earth dragon."
"Whether I build an altar or offer sacrifices, the earth dragon will turn over this year."
"I will not build an altar to order the earth dragon to turn over..."
Wang Ben blurted out: "It's to lure the enemy!"
"The enemy did not know that the Lord of Chang'an had already sacrificed to the Earth Dragon in Zheng County and had already made the Earth Dragon stand up this year."
"After Lord Chang'an answered in front of the battle today, the enemy will definitely pay special attention to the altar built by our army and destroy it at any cost!"
"But as far as our army is concerned, the altar is not used to command the earth dragon, but to lure the enemy deeper!"
Wang Ben finally understood why Ying Chengyu said what he said in front of the two armies.
Ying Chengyu built the altar not to command the earth dragon, but to seek victory!
The sacrifices required for the altar were not grains or animals, but the flesh and blood of the enemy!
Every altar built by Ying Chengyu will be a must-attack location for the enemy.
The Qin army could build countless such altars to disperse, guide, and draw enemy troops.
Not only that, the Qin army can also build altars in canyons, mountain cols and other places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, forcing the enemy to take the initiative to enter terrain that is unfavorable to the enemy!
Ying Chengqiao smiled and cupped his hands: "You are indeed General Wang!"
“It’s hard to hide the general’s strategy from General Wang’s discerning eye!”
Wang Ben hurriedly handed over his hand and returned the salute: "Only when the coach wakes him up can he understand the profound meaning of the coach's policy."
"The general thinks that it is almost impossible for the enemy general to figure out the commander's plan!"
"Even if the coach finally wakes him up, he won't be able to use such a clever strategy, but he can only help a little from the side."
"It is truly a great honor for a general to be able to go on an expedition with the coach and see such a wonderful strategy!"
Wang Ben's words were partly complimentary and partly sincere.
Looking at ancient and modern times, only a world-recognized great wizard like Ying Chengyu could use the altar to lay out such a military strategy!
Ying Chengyu immediately shook his head: "General Wang is too modest!"
"I would like to order General Wang to lead an army of 100,000 people to Xiban Valley (now Shimen Valley, Baoding) to build an altar."
"Then I will personally lead 340,000 soldiers and horses to lie down on both sides of the Xiban Valley."
"What do you think, General Wang?"
Ying Chengyu sincerely begged for advice, but Wang Ben's eyes lit up: "The coach wants to invite the enemy to confront each other in Xiban Valley?"
"The general will think that this strategy is a great good!"
"If General Mo really leads an army of 100,000 into Xiban Valley to build an altar, Lord Dai Wu'an will have to send troops to attack Xiban Valley no matter what!"
"In this way, the enemy's superiority in strength can be contained, and the best of our troops can be put to full use!"
Before the Ming and Qing dynasties began to quarry stone slabs from this area for the construction of the capital, most of the internal roads in Xibanyu were no more than three feet wide, and some roads were even less than one foot wide. Most of the roads could not be passed by carriages, and could only be traveled by humans or horses. The stone walls on both sides are carved like knives and axes, and the apes have to take a detour when they see it. It is actually an excellent place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and limits the deployment of large enemy troops.
More importantly, through Xiban Valley in Yixian County, you can cross the remaining mountains of Hengshan Mountain, then turn into Feihuxing, one of the eight mountains in Taihang, and go north to Feihu Valley.
The distance between Feihu Valley and Yu County, the capital of Dai Kingdom, is only twenty-eight miles!
Elite soldiers are on the move, and it can be reached in half a day!
So what if Li Mu saw through Ying Chengyu's plan to build the altar to seduce the enemy?
Does he dare to let one hundred thousand Qin troops disappear in the Xiban Valley to threaten Yu County, which is short of troops? !
Li Mu, you have no choice!
Ying Chengxuan said sincerely: "If we adopt this strategy, it will be too dangerous for General Wang."
"But except for General Wang, I really don't dare to hand over this responsibility to any other general!"
"And this general has promised Yang Wengzi the first victory in the battle of Yishui Great Wall."
"General Wang has shouldered such a heavy responsibility but could not achieve this first victory. I feel guilty!"
Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief.
If the first victory in this battle had not been given to Yang Wengzi, there would be no way that I would be willing to take on this responsibility!
After thinking for a while, Wang Ben said in a deep voice: "Our army has difficulty getting supplies in the Xiban Valley."
"If the army is led by the last general, he will not only need 100,000 elite soldiers, but also 200,000 civilians. These 200,000 civilians will have to push Chang'an chariots by hand, and the chariots will be fully loaded with baggage."
"Qie Mo will only be able to hold on for three months at most!"
"After three months, if the general and his troops are unable to break out, the general will lead his troops to Feihuxing and rest from the west side of Feihuxing toward Lingqiu!"
Ying Chengxuan said seriously: "I agree to this!"
"If the war situation does not go well, I will allow General Wang to withdraw to Feihuxing at any time!"
Wang Ben's last worry disappeared, and he solemnly raised his hands and said: "The coach trusts the general, and the general will live up to the coach!"
Ying Chengqiu laughed loudly and returned the gift with his hands raised: "May I, the Qin Dynasty, triumph with flying flags!"
at the same time.
Easy to pass.
Yang Duanhe stood on the city gate tower, looking eagerly at the army in the distance, his eyes full of joy and chuckled: "Finally, Lord Chang'an has led his army to help!"
"I never thought that this first achievement would be so simple and easy..."
"Chang'an Jun?"
"Chang'an Jun!"
Looking at Dahu heading northwest, Yang Duanhe became anxious: "This general has been holding the Yishui Great Wall for three days!"
"Chang'an Jun, it's time to change defense!!!"
