Investigating the reason, morale and fighting spirit still account for the decisive factors.

Although the Qi Dynasty's army had the upper hand at this time, if the morale was still low and the soldiers had no fighting spirit as before, then they would still be defeated in a fight.

Liu Fa continued: "So this time, during the process of rewarding the army, I will state my interests and benefits with all the generals!

"This time the officials are conducting the expedition in person, right in the Western Army's barracks! And all the deployments at this time were made by the officials.

"The officials have already said that there will be generous rewards for those who die in war, and those who steal lives will not only be punished and executed, but will also bear the eternal infamy!

"This battle is the battle that determines the fate of our Qi Dynasty. If the Jin people are let go because of someone's cowardice... it will be recorded in the history books and will be infamy for thousands of years!

"So, don't worry, General Wang. As long as you can hold on for an hour at all costs, then reinforcements will arrive! If anyone dares not to come to rescue, the officials will behead him first!"

"The same goes for other generals. If other generals are attacked, General Wang, if you just sit back and ignore them and don't go to rescue, you are also engaging in military law!"

Wang Jianxiong nodded and said: "General... I understand!"

…

In this way, Liu Fa traveled to all the camps of King Qin's army with the elite of the Western Army and various supplies for the army.

In addition to telling all these words to every general, he also left some elite Western troops in some weak areas to consolidate the entire encirclement.

In this way, a surrounding circle that looks good on paper is formed.

As long as the various armies can support each other and resist the Jin's attempt to break out, the elite Western troops led by Liu Fa can pursue them one after another, causing heavy losses to the Jin.

Until all the Jin army of more than 100,000 people are eaten!

This crazy plan shocked all the generals of King Qin's army, but they also had to admit that once this plan was successful, it would bring more than just a century of national destiny to the Qi Dynasty.

There is coercion, inducement, and spiritual encouragement.

Coupled with the heroic spirit shown by this new official during this period, most of the generals of King Qin's army like Wang Jianxiong were ready to fight to the death.

During this period of time, there was also an undercurrent surging in the Jin people's camp.

In the end, Wan Yansheng overpowered other voices in the army and made a decision.

Breakout!

…

These many things were accomplished in just one day and one night.

In fact, the reaction of Jin people is not slow, it can even be said to be very fast.

After the fierce battle with the Western Army, both sides retreated and reorganized.

After a short rest, Liu Fa non-stop led his elite detours back to various Qinwang troops to reward the troops and unify their thoughts.

On the Jin people's side, there was a fierce debate over the next action to be taken.

Originally, they had been hesitant and did not retreat because they had just stopped halfway and were very reluctant. They also wanted to use the Qi Yingzong in their hands to grab more things from the Qi Dynasty before retreating.

Therefore, the Jin people waited until this field battle with the Western Army.

I thought that the Chinese and Western forces in the field would definitely be defeated in one battle, and then it would be a matter of course to wipe out King Qin's army and then besiege the capital.

However, the Western Army showed very strong combat effectiveness, and the Jin people not only did not take any advantage, but were vaguely at a disadvantage.

This made Wan Yansheng and many Jin generals feel that the situation was not good.

But many people in the military are still unwilling to accept this fact.

These generals believe that the Jin people can still fight!

The Western Army had a slight victory before, just because they were lucky. This time, as long as the Jin army presses with all their strength and starts a bloody battle, the Jin people will win in the end, and the Western Army will definitely be defeated!

This cannot be said to be that Jin people are overconfident, it can only be said that they have formed a kind of path dependence.

When the reckless man bumped into the iron plate, his first reaction was not that the iron plate was too hard, but that the force of my collision was not strong enough.

In the past, when the Jin people fought in a stalemate, they would continue to issue tough orders and fight hard, and the results of the hard fight always ended in victory for one's own side.

Therefore, even if they encountered some setbacks on the battlefield at this time, these Jin generals still felt that they could solve it with force.

But Wan Yansheng was, after all, a general who was good at strategy.

Although his operational details were not very good, and he was always beaten by General Han Fuyue later, his judgment of the situation was first-class.

When he received reports that Qin Wang's troops from all directions in the Qi Dynasty had vaguely formed an encirclement, Wan Yansheng had already sensed that something was wrong. Coupled with the strong combat power shown by the Western Army, he was determined to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to the army again in the future.

The idea of ​​fighting.

But it still took some time to convince everyone with this idea.

When they heard the news that King Qin's army was encircling them, most of the Jin generals laughed.

Qin Wangjun?

Are they the same army whose combat effectiveness is worse than that of pigs?

The Jin people have dealt with King Qin's army many times.

In the last siege of the capital, although the Jin people failed to break through the capital, the Qin Wang troops from all walks of life did not dare to take the initiative to attack around the Jin people. They only dared to watch. However, the Qin Wang troops from all walks of life did not rescue each other, and the friendly troops were in trouble and remained motionless.

His demeanor also left a deep impression on Jin people.

The reason why the Jin people did not go to fight with King Qin's army was simply because it was not cost-effective.

Since you won't take the initiative to fight, but just watch from the sidelines, then why should I spend so much time fighting you? When it's time to attack the city, when it's time to plunder and plunder, I can just ignore you.

Therefore, most of the Jin generals this time also felt that this encirclement was quite ridiculous.

With the fighting power of King Qin's army, isn't this encirclement just a layer of paper? It can be broken with just one poke.

They didn't think this encirclement was a threat at all, but only thought it was Qi Chao's bluff. After all, Qi Chao had done this kind of thing before, and they were clever and clever, but in the end, all the secrets were revealed after a slight touch.

In the end, it was Wanyan Sheng who made the decision to withdraw the troops despite all objections.

Three days later, the Jin soldiers broke out of the camp and began to break through Moutuogang to the north.

Of course, Wan Yansheng also thought of the possibility that the Western Army would inevitably pursue them in tandem, so he arranged for elite troops to break up the rear.

With the Jin people's individual soldier quality, there shouldn't be any big problems whether it's breaking through or breaking off the enemy.

As for the front army...after all, they were fighting a mob, so there was no need to use too much force.

In Wan Yansheng's view, as long as the window paper is broken and a Qinwang army breaks out of the defense area, they can fight and retreat. By then, the Western Army will definitely be unable to pursue them, and of course they will

It's safe.

…

Soon, a fierce battle started near the capital of Qi Dynasty.

The Jin people tried to withdraw their troops from Moutuogang and began to attack King Qin's army in the north.

Originally, the Jin people thought that this attack would be over soon. What they had to guard against was the pursuit of the Western Army from behind.

However, the situation was very different from what they expected!

When attacking, the Jin people did not deliberately choose the main attack direction, but just chose the road with the most convenient transportation. After all, in their view, the so-called King Qin's army was just a bunch of rabble, and there would not be a big difference in strength, so why bother to deliberately

How about planning a breakout route?

However, the Jin people's vanguard force was hit head-on by this 20,000-strong King Qin army!

Although these Qinwang troops were stationed for a short time and did not have time to dig trenches, build walls, or build too many defenses, they only used portable horses, temporarily cut down trees, and dug trenches to block the Jin army.

The first round of attack by the human vanguard!

In the process, the Jin people were also shocked to find that these King Qin soldiers seemed to have become a little different!

Originally, these King Qin's troops were instantly defeated as soon as they engaged in battle, but now, they have become very tenacious and will not retreat until they fight to the death.

The Jin people thought it was just their bad luck and encountered an elite force, so they strictly ordered the soldiers to fight hard, thinking that as time went by, the morale of the Qi army would naturally collapse. Unexpectedly, the battle lasted for more than half an hour.

After that, although the King Qin's army was shaky and seemed to be on the verge of failure several times, the generals who commanded it took the lead and fought hard, saving their morale from near collapse several times!

Immediately afterwards, the two surrounding Qinwang armies also rushed to support.

The number of these two King Qin armies was not very large, with only a few thousand men each. But for the battlefield at this time, the addition of such a new force worsened the situation of the Jin people, and they had no choice but to abandon this direction.

Considering that the Qi army had been occupying favorable terrain, Wan Yansheng decided to change the direction of the breakout.

I was unlucky this time and encountered a King Qin army with relatively strong combat effectiveness, but not every King Qin army can be so strong, right?

Although the Jin people had an army of more than 100,000, they still had a large amount of baggage, which was all good stuff stolen from the Qi Dynasty. Not to mention the women and slaves plundered from the Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Jin people still prefer to take the roads with convenient transportation, otherwise the marching speed will be slowed down and a lot of baggage and goods may be lost.

There are only a few major roads near Moutuogang, and at this time, every one of them has been occupied by King Qin's army with favorable terrain.

As soon as the Jin army moved, the Western Army began to chase them one after another. Wanyan Sheng had to use a large number of elites to resist the Western Army and cover the evacuation of the army, so he could not concentrate his elite forces to attack Qin Wang's army blocking the way.

In addition, King Qin's army no longer sat back and watched, but began to rescue each other, which made the Jin people's breakout even more difficult.

After continuously failing to break through in two directions, the Jin soldiers were exhausted. Considering that the Western Army had not yet exerted its full strength, Wanyan Sheng did not dare to neglect and could only withdraw the army to the camp in Moutuogang.

There were some accidents during the first breakout, but it doesn't matter. Just wait for a while and choose a suitable time to break out again. After all, the Jin people will leave sooner or later, but these Qin Dynasty's Qinwang troops cannot always maintain their position today.

Such high morale.
