Chapter 203 Chen Cheng

At this time, Yang Duanhe felt a little puzzled:

Since Shen Bing knew that the Chu army was going to abandon Chen City, why did he propose to borrow Anling City in the first place?

Then think deeper:

Oh no good... Could it be that you have followed Shen Bing's way?

Shen Bing knows that the king can't borrow An Ling so he can delay time?

This gangster can be used so well, even the old man is kept in the dark!

Thinking of Yang Duanhe glanced at Shen Bing but didn't dare to say anything.

The reason is simple. Although Shen Bing gave this suggestion, Yang Duanhe reported it to the king.

If this is said to be broken and passed to the ears of the king... he Yang Duanhe said nothing can get rid of the relationship.

So Yang Duanhe lightly stroked his beard and added a sentence:

"This statement makes sense."

"If Chu State did not withdraw its troops, Anling City would be the best."

"At this time, already withdrawing troops and planning to abandon the city, then Chen Cheng is the best."

Shen Bing became speechless when he heard this:

Can't these words be buried in your stomach?Isn't it too obvious that there is no silver three hundred taels here?

Fortunately, Meng Wu didn't hear anything, he still fixed his eyes on the map and said:

"If the Chu soldiers withdrew secretly, do we have to..."

Shen Bing and Yang Duanhe couldn't help but froze.

Meng Wu didn't have a single word right after he came to the beam, but this was a point...Qin Jun couldn't watch the Chu army withdraw and then shrink the line of defense to do a good job of defense. It would be troublesome to attack.

So Qin Jun had to launch an offensive in advance.

The whole army made preparations for three days. Yang Duanhe urgently sent Ying Zheng to attack the Chu strategy. After obtaining consent, he urgently sent a batch of grain and grass from Handan, and then the Qin army started.

The army was divided into three groups and marched towards Chencheng. Mengwu led one hundred thousand Qin army along the east bank of Bianhe River, Shen Bing led seventy thousand army south along the west bank of Bianhe, Yang Duanhe led one hundred thousand Qin army in the rear to support.

The reason why Mengwu’s 100,000 Qin army was arranged on the east bank was because the east bank was a dangerous area between Caozhou and Chencheng, and Mengwu was naturally responsible for the regular Qin army.

And even a section of the West Bank to the south is in South Korea, which is obviously safer than the East Bank, so the descending troops led by Shen Bing are responsible.

Shen Bing felt that Yang Duanhe had another reason for this arrangement:

Yang Duanhe didn't believe in Wei Jiangbing very much.

Otherwise, the ancients were very taboo in combat, and the first battle should be a troop with combat experience even if it is not elite.

But the Liang Army was a newly formed soldier without a single armour.

Yang Duanhe made this arrangement because he was worried about placing the beam army on the beam... If the chaos beam disappears, the entire strategy of attacking Chu will be over, and the Qin army will immediately be surrounded by the enemy.

Although "the suspect does not need to employ people," Shen Bing felt that this approach was okay because the risk was too great, and there was nothing wrong with sending the Liangjun out of the city to fight.

The news soon reached Xiang Liangna who was stationed in Chencheng.

This Liang is Xiang Yan's third son. He has been following Xiang Yan's marching battles since he was a child and has been familiar with military books. At this time, Xiang Yan has set General to stand alone.

Xiang Liang frowned as soon as he heard that the more than 100,000 troops of the Qin Army were going south to attack Chen.

The ministry said on the side:

"General, the general once asked me to wait, once the Qin army attacked, he would give up Chencheng and retreat."

"Should I..."

Xiang Yan raised his hand to interrupt the general's words. After thinking about it, he said:

"The Qin army dispatched troops earlier than the general expected."

"The Caozhou soldiers have just withdrawn. If I wait for the withdrawal at this time, I am afraid that the Qin army will have attacked Ruyin before the Caozhou soldiers withdrew."

Ruyin is an important transportation town a hundred miles away from Shouchun. It and the two cities of Chengfu form a line of defense through Rushui and become a barrier for Shouchun.

Xiang Yan's plan to shrink the line of defense was to block the Qin army in this area.

But of course, if the Qin army had already arrived before the Chu army arrived, this line of defense would of course no longer exist.

The minister asked:

"Then what should I do?"

Xiang Liang didn't answer, he just ordered the spies:

"Check again and find out who the two Qin armies are led by, what kind of soldiers they are, and how many people there are!"

The spies led away.

It is not so easy to detect these news, it must be close to the Qin army to detect it.

So Xiang Liang didn't get the news until the next day:

"General, the east bank is the one hundred thousand Qin army led by Mengwu."

"The West Bank is the 70,000 Liang Army led by Shen Bing."

Xiang Liang couldn't help being stunned after hearing this:

"Shen Bing? But the Shen Bing who flooded my army?"

The spies answered:

"It's this person."

"It was reported that he was doing meritorious service in training the Black Armored Army and defeating our navy army, so he let him practice the 70,000 Liang Army.

Xiang Liang only gritted his teeth with hatred, paused and asked:

"In that case, the 70,000 Liangjun is Wei Guo's surrender?"

The spies answered:

"It was the Wei State who dropped the army, because he has no title, so there is no soldier in the army."

Xiang Liang was overjoyed upon hearing this:

"It's heaven to help me."

"Qin Jun will attack with tens of thousands of soldiers from the state of Wei who can't reach armour... When will we wait if we don't fight at this time?"

The Minister said with some concern:

"General, is there any fraud here?"

"What's more, there are one hundred thousand Qin troops on the east coast."

"It is said that the leader Meng Wu is the son of Qin General Meng Yu, and I should be careful."

Xiang Liang looked at the map for a while, then replied:

"Don't worry."

"I can send a team to harass and stop the Mongolian military on the east coast."

"After Shen Bingjun moves forward...our army can win the battle!"

"If Shen Bing's army is defeated, the Mongolian military will be lonely."

"This can not only defeat Qin Jun's spirit, but also buy time for my main force to return to defense."

The ministers nodded and said yes.

This is indeed a good plan.

The Qin army attacked from the east and west sides of Bianshui River in order to control the waterways and strengthen each other.

However, Xiang Liang deliberately blocked it and let it go, so the unknowingly Shen Bing's side would deepen alone because of the smooth march. Then it was time for Xiang Liang to counterattack.

Shen Bing admitted that he didn't feel that this was a trap set by Xiang Liangzheng against him.

But Shen Bing didn't jump into the trap either...

Because the east coast march is more complicated than expected, the inconsistency of the marching process between the east and west coasts has long been known.

So a few people agreed early in the morning: no matter where the marching speed is fast, they will stop and dismantle the defense of the river barrier.

The defense of the river is really countless, especially the wooden stakes in the water, which are like underwater forests.

It's not a hassle to dismantle these stakes, just tie them up with twine, and then drag them on the shore with horses... the stakes are pulled up.

It's just that the number is extremely large, so it is also very time-consuming.

Shen Bing's team pulled out while marching, but the speed was about the same as that of the Mengwu Army.

If the stakes are pulled out, troops and food can be transported down the river through the river. When they are pulled all the way to the city of Chencheng, what Chen Cheng will face is not 170,000 Qin troops but 270,000.
