Chapter 875 Chaos

"How did this battle end like this!" X2

Although separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Wang Shu and Qin Kai sighed in unison.

Coincidentally, both of them planned to use the trick of luring the snake out of the hole to defeat the enemy. Of course, leading the snake out of the hole is not just a matter of talking, it needs careful arrangement and precise command, otherwise it is easy to be self-defeating.

Three days later, Wang Shu dispatched troops with great fanfare to carry out a carpet search, wishing to search through all the mouse nests.

A large number of troops went out, which naturally led to the relatively empty defense of the city. Wang Shu intends to deliberately sell a loophole to lure Qin Kai to show up.

In fact, all the troops sent out to search were the second-line troops, and the real elites were secretly lurking. Hundreds of thousands of elites from the main combat corps stood ready to fight, ready to launch a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

And Qin Kai also had the idea of ​​luring the snake out of the hole. More than 100,000 troops were dispatched, deliberately revealing flaws, intending to divert the main force of the enemy army, and then launch a thunderous blow when the enemy's defense is weak.

Both sides have good ideas, but it is a pity that people's wishes are not fulfilled. With the superposition of various coincidence factors, the situation has exceeded everyone's control!

The timing of the actions of the two sides was very ingenious. Wang Shu thought that the bait troops sent by Qin Kai were snakes that were drawn out, and Qin Kai also thought that the enemy's large-scale mobilization of troops was caused by being deceived by the bait troops.

Both sides were overjoyed at the same time, and then started the next step.

Wang Shu quickly stepped on his horse, and the hundreds of thousands of elite main forces went straight to the bait troops sent by Qin Kai. At the same time, he ordered the surrounding conventional troops to gather quickly and prepare to cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

And Qin Kai was also overjoyed when he saw that the enemy army was "taken" and dispatched 400,000 real main forces to attack the empty defense of Xinyue City!

From a strategic point of view, Qin Kai is still better than Wang Shuji. After all, Qin Kai achieved his goal of distracting the enemy's main force, while Wang Shu surrounded only more than 100,000 weaker second-line decoy troops. Of course, this weak combat power is relatively speaking, and it can be called an elite among any other forces.

If the plot ended like this, then Wang Shu might really lose in this contest. Although it won't be a complete loss, but let Qin Kai occupy a giant city, with a foothold, relying on the ability of the Tianbing Group, he will quickly form a large number of servants, and it will be difficult to destroy it!

At the critical moment, Qin Ping, who stayed behind in Xinyue City, showed his talents. The second-line troops that had been dispersed before were withdrawn urgently. With more than 100,000 troops stationed in Xinyue City as the core, supplemented by nearly a million second-line search troops, they successfully resisted Qin Kai's attack.

It is not right to say that, strictly speaking, Qin Ping did not block Qin Kai. But Qin Kai did not occupy Xinyue City.

Relying on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, Qin Ping resolutely gave up the outer city to shrink his troops when the outer city wall could not be defended, and fought a street battle with Qin Kai's army!

Although Qin Ping's choice was a helpless move in an emergency, it was precisely aimed at Qin Kaijun's Achilles heel.

The troops of the Tianbing Group scattered in the rear are not many, and they add up to one million. Nearly 100,000 people were wiped out piecemeal at first, and then Wang Shu came back to preside over the encirclement and suppression work, and more than 100,000 people were wiped out.

When Qin Kai was sent to the rear to preside over the overall situation, the remaining army was less than 700,000. There are also branches in every corner. In the end, only more than half a million people were collected by Qin Kai.

In order to carry out the plan to lure the snake out of the cave, more than 100,000 people were sent out. Only about 400,000 people Qin Kai could really use to attack Xinyue City.

This number seems quite a lot, but Xinyue City is a huge city with a vast area, houses and streets lined up, and various streets and alleys are intricate.

In the first frontal offensive and defensive battle, the second-line Pingzhou army that had been gathered temporarily faced the elite Qin Kai army and was defeated after not holding on for long.

But when they turned to street fighting, the Pingzhou Army, relying on the advantages of familiar terrain and superior strength, dragged the enemy's footsteps abruptly.

Although there were heavy casualties, more than 80% of Xinyue City had been controlled by Qin Kai's army, but the most core 20% was firmly controlled by Qin Ping.

Moreover, as the area occupied by the Qin Kai Legion became wider and its strength became more stretched, the advancing speed naturally became slower.

Of course, if it continues, it will only be a matter of time before Xinyue City falls, and Qin Ping's stubborn resistance won't last long!

However, the real deadly point is here - Qin Kai doesn't have much time left!

Qin Ping reported the news to Wang Shu as soon as Qin Kai's army appeared within Xinyue City.

And Wang Shu also realized that he was being tricked at the first time. Under the humiliation and anger, Wang Shu handed over the 100,000 decoy army surrounded by groups to Gongsundu, Wang Yun, Wu Jing and others to deal with, and he himself led Lili The main fighters such as Si, Tizoke, Alex, etc. led hundreds of thousands of elite main forces to quickly rescue Xinyue City.

Qin Ping gritted his teeth and defended the core area of ​​the inner city despite the huge casualties, precisely because he knew that Wang Shu would lead his troops to Xinyue City soon.

If Wang Shu could last until he arrived at Xinyue City, the situation would definitely reverse, and Qin Kai's army would be trapped to death in Xinyue City.

But on the other hand, if the Qin Ping Legion can completely conquer Xinyue City and activate various functions of Xinyue City before Wang Shu arrives, Xinyue City may become a nail, holding back the energy of the Pingzhou Army. The rear could not effectively support the front line, creating favorable conditions for Wu Qi and Le Yi to win.

What Qin Ping and Wang Shu can see, Qin Kai can also see.

There are only two paths before Qin Kai, one is to make a quick decision and retreat immediately. Before the elite main force led by Wang Shu arrived, they immediately withdrew from Xinyue City and continued to lurk in search of opportunities. The second is to fight hard and try my best to win Xinyue City before Wang Shu arrives!

Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. The former is more conservative, and there is no fear of annihilation of the entire army, but it has lost an excellent opportunity. The latter is more radical. If you win, everything will be fine, but if you lose, it will really be over.

Regarding the current situation, Qin Kai was also a little undecided. It is naturally easy to go now, and Qin Ping would not dare to lead a group of defeated generals to pursue Qin Ping.

But what should I do after I leave? In the past, he was able to hide from Wang Shu's investigation one after another, relying on his talent to hide from the sky. But this kind of talent is not something that can be used at will! It requires careful layout, a lot of preliminary work, and certain geographical conditions.

Qin Kai is sure that Wang Shu will not give him another chance this time. After leaving, it's time to fight a real guerrilla war!

When guerrilla warfare really started, even Qin Kai didn't have the confidence to persevere in Wang Shu's iron barrel siege. After all, Wang Shu's military advantage is too great.

Including auxiliary troops, Wang Shu can mobilize more than ten million troops, including two million front-line combat troops and half a million high-level special forces. It is difficult to parry even if Qin is allowed to use his superpowers.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Kai waved his hand fiercely: "Let's go, I will go to the front line to see the situation, and make a decision after confirming the situation!"

The lieutenant nodded quickly, even if he retreated, he was not in a hurry. Wang Shu's rescue force was still far away, and they couldn't catch up in a while.
