Chapter 19: Becoming Famous with One Stone

In the formation of the Qin army, Meng Fu, Meng Wu and Wang Di stood side by side on war horses, looking at the Six-Nation Alliance on the opposite side, which was far superior to their own in number, with a calm expression. Meng Wei pointed to the opposing coalition and said to Meng Wu and Wang Di: "You see, this is the Six Nations Alliance, this lineup is not as big as the previous times when the Six Nations attacked my Qin State. It can be seen that the six countries today are indeed at the end of their strong crossbows. ”

Meng Wu rode on a horse and said to Meng Wei: "Father, the person who led the troops this time is not Su Qin, a famous scholar from decades ago, nor is it Meng Weijun Tianwen of Qi who defected to my Qin State back then, and it is not Sun Yan, the former Daliang of Wei State. It is said that this person was driven out of Wei by the king of Wei because he stole the soldiers of the king of Wei to save Zhao, and only returned to Wei in recent years, in order to lay the foundation for his future ascension to the throne, he persuaded the five countries to unite with Wei to attack my Qin. This person is very calculating, so he has to guard against it. ”

Wang Di took Meng Wu's words and said: "The young general is too worried, I think that this coalition army only has an advantage over our Qin State in terms of numbers, and the rest of the aspects are not enough to cause trouble for our army." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Meng Fu said: "What General Wang said is very true, Wu'er, although Wei Wuji knows how to march and fight, but this person is easy to be arrogant, so we will follow the previous arrangement according to Lord Xiangguo, and lose to them today, and after Lord Xiangguo sends people to Wei, we will start a large-scale counterattack." ”

Meng Wu and Wang Di said in unison: "Yes." ”

Meng Fu raised an arm and waved it forward, shouting, "Charge!"

So the Qin cavalry bypassed the commander and began to charge at the enemy. Seeing that the cavalry of the Qin army began to charge, the coalition army also sent cavalry to meet the battle. On the battlefield, the two armies rushed into battle, especially the cavalry was the most heroic, the cavalry of the two armies charged each other, especially the cavalry at the forefront of the charge was often the first person to sacrifice his life on the battlefield, as long as the two armies were in contact, life and death were a matter of an instant.

Due to the geographical location of the Qin State, the customs and customs are different from those of the six countries of the Central Plains, and the Qin people are taller and taller, which also leads to the fact that the weapons and equipment of the Qin army are much better than those of the six countries, so the spears held by the cavalry of the Qin army are longer than those held by the cavalry of the six countries, and the weight is relatively heavy, of course, the lethality is greater, which increases the innate advantage of cavalry charge.

The distance of a few arrows of the cavalry rushing into battle was only a matter of an eye, and the moment the cavalry of the two sides came into contact, the slight advantage of the cavalry of the Qin army was particularly important, and the front row of the cavalry of the six countries was rushed by the Qin army, and even the casualties of the Qin army were less than one-twelfth of them. Then the charge of the second row has also arrived, and then the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms who have not been killed penetrates their chests with spears, and then continue to charge forward, among the cavalry of the Six Kingdoms, the cavalry of the Zhao State performed the best, blocking the pace of the Qin army's charge, otherwise the Qin army will intersperse the cavalry formation, and the infantry behind the cavalry formation will be wiped out.

After the momentum of the Qin army penetrated to the center of the cavalry of the six countries, it could no longer continue to break forward, and began to turn around and break through to both sides, once the cavalry fell into the formation and could not charge, it was useless, and the war horse under the body became a burden, and after the charge, the strength of the cavalry's arms was close to overdraft, so the cavalry discarded the spear in his hand, drew his sword and attacked the enemy in front of him, and the battlefield began to fall into a melee. Although the Qin army was brave, it was still not the enemy of the allied forces with the advantage in numbers, but fortunately, the commander had an order before going into battle and began to try his best to break through.

Seeing that the two armies were beginning to fight, Wei Wuji, the emperor of Xinling, ordered the infantry to start attacking forward, making sure to wipe out the Qin cavalry that had penetrated into the center of his cavalry.

Seeing that his cavalry was beginning to get caught up in the enemy's melee, he ordered the herald to withdraw his troops. The purpose of this attack was not to destroy the strength of the coalition army, but to make the coalition army believe that the Qin cavalry, which had once made the princes tremble, was nothing more than that, so that they could have the idea of underestimating the enemy, so that LΓΌ Buwei's strategy of intermittent enemies could be smoothly implemented.

The cavalry of the Qin army broke through, and the 3,000 men and horses who began to charge broke through and there were more than 2,000 people left, and after the breakthrough, the Qin army galloped directly towards Hangu Pass. Seeing that the Qin army had broken through, Xinling Jun ordered his cavalry to go forward in pursuit, wanting to wipe out Meng Fu and others, which dealt a heavy blow to the military spirit of the Qin State. It's just that the physical strength of the Qin army's war horses is far more abundant than that of the war horses of the six countries, and the coalition cavalry is far behind when they run.

Meng Tian stood on the Hangu Pass, and when he saw his grandfather coming back with the cavalry, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate below to open the door. Seeing that the gate of Hangu Pass had been opened, Meng Fu shouted, and took the lead in riding into the pass, followed by Meng Wu Wang, and more than 2,000 cavalry of the Qin army also entered the pass one after another. Seeing that everyone had already entered the pass, Meng Tian ordered people to close the city gate, and then ordered all the Qin soldiers stationed on the city wall to change their bows and arrows and wait for the arrival of the pursuers.

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, led the coalition army to the Hangu Pass, and saw that the Qin army on the city wall was all aimed at him with bows and arrows, so he ordered all the soldiers to withdraw from the land of a stone's throw and confront the Hangu Pass, and ordered the archers in the coalition army to come to the battle, stand behind the shield bearers, and raise arrows to aim at the Qin soldiers on the Hangu Pass.

Xin Lingjun shouted loudly: "In the Lower Wei State, Wei Wuji, please ask the old general of the Qin army to come out and answer." ”

Meng Tian heard it on the city tower and was about to send someone to inform his grandfather, when he saw his grandfather's father and Wang Ji wearing armor and climbing the city tower. Hearing that Xinlingjun was talking to him, Meng Fu shouted to Xinlingjun on the city tower: "I don't know what Xinlingjun has to say to me?"

Xinling Jun saw that Meng Fu returned to him, and said: "Old General Meng, I once saw the old general leading the troops in the siege of Handan, and I never thought of seeing the old general again today, the old general's demeanor has not diminished." ”

Meng Fu saw Xinlingjun ridicule himself, he and Wang Yi besieged Handan, but this Xinlingjun led the army to raid, and could only lead the troops to retreat. Meng Fu laughed and said: "It turns out that Xinlingjun couldn't catch up with the old man back then, and he still hasn't caught up today." Although General Ben is not as old as Xinlingjun, Xinlingjun has been used to pampering and pampering over the years, and his legs and feet are not good. ”

Xinling Jun was not annoyed at all when he saw Meng Fu, and then said: "Benjun's legs and feet are naturally good, but the war horses of the Qin State are famous all over the world, and my Central Plains war horses are naturally inferior, and the old general naturally knows better than me." This monarch is here today only to say one word to the old general, this time our six countries attacked the Qin State, for the sake of the land you have taken from us over the years, this time if the Qin State is willing to return these lands to us, we will withdraw the army, otherwise our army will storm Hangu Pass, and then the city will be destroyed and people will die, and I hope that the old general can run as fast as today. ”

After listening to Xinlingjun's words, Meng Wei continued: "Xinlingjun doesn't know what you said today, I think Meng Yanjun of Qi also said it here, but I think you also know the final outcome of Meng Yanjun, so don't say these shameful words anymore." The land of my Qin State was all shot down by my Qin State man, and I have no ability or right to say that I will return these lands to you. Of course, if you can use your knives and guns to snatch these lands back, then I have nothing to say. ”

Meng Tian quietly took a bow beside him, put the arrow on the string, aimed at the head of Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, and then bent the bow and shot the arrow. The general next to Xinlingjun saw an arrow shooting from Hangu Pass, and hurriedly grabbed Xinlingjun's clothes and pulled them back, pulling Xinlingjun off the horse. As soon as Xinlingjun left the horse. An arrow was shot at the head of the war horse that had been lowered and raised because Xinlingjun had pulled the reins, and the bow and arrow passed through the skull and shot at the horse's back before stopping.

All this happened so fast that even Meng Wu and Wang Di on the city tower did not react, Meng Tian had already shot the arrow, and almost killed Xinling Jun, and the bow in Meng Tian's hand had been broken in half because of the excessive force. Meng Fu, Meng Wu and Wang Di looked at Meng Tian, they couldn't believe their eyes, they could shoot an arrow out of the place where an arrow was an arrow, and they could do it themselves, but they had to hold a special bow, otherwise they couldn't shoot at all, and even if they did, they didn't dare to guarantee the accuracy and lethality of this arrow. And Meng Tian relied on an ordinary Qin army-style bow, and shot the arrow out of an arrow away, and also shot a horse accurately, the terrible thing is that it even shot through the horse's head and then shot on the horse's back, which is really unbelievable.

Xin Lingjun was pulled from the horse to the ground by the general next to him, and before he could react, the war horse he was riding fell to the ground, with a blood hole in his head, and an arrow stuck in the horse. Xin Lingjun said thank you to the general who saved his life next to him, and then rode a horse let out by other soldiers, and said loudly: "Withdraw the troops." Then he turned around and left, and when the Six-Nation Coalition saw the commander withdraw, they followed him back to the camp.

The Qin army on Hangu Pass saw the retreat of the coalition army, so they shouted one after another, and Meng Tian's soldiers lifted Meng Tian up and threw him into the air, and then caught it and threw it into the air. In addition to the small defeat of the Qin army in this battle, the news that Meng Tian almost killed the Xinling Jun of Wei with an arrow also spread from Hangu Pass to Qin, and the name of Mengtian spread throughout Qin.
