Chapter 21 The Clouds and the Rain
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Qin and Han armies simultaneously launched attacks from the north and south gates of Jimo, and at the same time ambushed tens of thousands of troops on the east and west sides to block. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
An hour later, the north gate was broken, and 100,000 Qin troops stepped on the ruins and broke into the city. A moment later, the southern gate also collapsed, and nearly 200,000 troops rushed into the city like a tide.
At this point, in the palace, the king of Han sat on the dragon chair decadently, his eyes were empty, and he said in his mouth, "The general trend has gone." ”
Then he was forcibly erected by more than 1,000 guards at will, ignoring the tens of thousands of palace ladies and harem concubines in the palace, and quietly rushed into a secret passage, and after opening the hidden Fahua Array, he eliminated Wuzong.
At this time, although the foundation of the Han Dynasty was gone, the battle was far from over.
The 50,000 forbidden troops who were originally guarding the palace obeyed the order, divided into two, and rushed to the north and south gates respectively, hiding in the houses on both sides of the road, and attacked and harassed the Qin and Chu armies that invaded the city.
With dense houses as a cover, greatly limited the bows and crossbows and muskets of the Qin and Chu armies, in order to reduce the damage, the two armies had to slow down, step by step for the battalion to move forward, countless sergeants splashed down, house by house to investigate and cover killing, it took nearly three hours to finally clear the remnants of the Han forbidden army, in this process, the people in the city who were slaughtered, even more tens of thousands.
When the Qin army, which arrived in advance, was about to attack the palace, they were shocked to find that the banners of the Chu army had been planted in all corners of the palace, and after a little hesitation, they were received by the Chu army that arrived after them.
At this point, the Han Kingdom was destroyed.
That night, the two armies of Qin and Chu took the palace as the line and divided the north and south to occupy it.
In the palace, all the high-ranking generals of the Qin and Chu armies gathered in the palace to hold a banquet to celebrate. Outside the palace, in order to reward the three armies, the two armies of Qin and Chu issued an order to lift military discipline at the same time, with a time limit of three days.
The two armies, after nearly two years, finally fell into a sea of joy completely, but it was a pity that the people and officials in the city who had no time to evacuate suffered from it.
The sporadic fighting was accompanied by endless screams and wails.
The sergeants who have lost the restraint of military discipline and plundered can be described as doing all kinds of evil.
It is not difficult to know that after three days, as the capital of the past, Jimo will no longer be able to show the prosperity of the past, and it will even become a dead city.
This night, up and down the two armies of Qin and Chu, was undoubtedly joyful, but it was not the end of the war, especially as the commander of the two armies, he knew in his heart that when the night faded and the day came......
"Negotiations to divide each other's interests are about to begin." In a rather secluded farmhouse courtyard in Nancheng, Zhanbai held a wine glass and looked at the stars in the sky.
"Xiaofan, what do you think of the final result?" Zhan Bai asked Nie Xiaofan, who was sitting beside him.
"It's hard to say, I'm afraid it's hard to draw conclusions in a short period of time." Nie Xiaofan straightened up his long hair that had just been wet from bathing.
In this battle, he lived up to Zhanbai's expectations, and in the best time, he led the blood refining army to attack the palace that had long been a mess.
The few guards were killed at the first time, and as for the nearly 10,000 palace concubines, they were taken into custody and finally handed over to the Chu army.
For these more than 1,000 blood refining troops, ordinary Chu troops may not know the origin, but how can they hide it from the high-level, especially Mi Jun and Su Qin, so after accepting the palace, in order to hide people's eyes, the blood refining army was temporarily incorporated into Su Qin's pro-army, and only Nie Xiaofan left quietly.
"Oh? Why? Zhan Bai asked with interest.
"Looking at the entire war to destroy the Han Dynasty, although the Qin army is small, but the combat power is stronger, plus there are famous generals in command, in yesterday's meeting before the siege, it showed strength. With the support of strong military strength, the Qin army naturally hoped to gain more benefits. Nie Xiaofan took a sip of the wine in his glass and continued to analyze, "However, it is not easy for the Qin army to occupy six points of Han land, at least the Chu army will never agree. Fortunately, in the first battle of Jimo, Mi Jun was also willing to do it, and the use of machine war beasts and fire dragon cannons greatly boosted the morale of the army, and with this great gift from Mr., it was also a great credit to take the lead in capturing the palace, and Lin Lin always gave the Chu army the confidence to bargain. ”
Not only that, but there is another card in Mi Jun's hand, that is, the domestic situation of the two countries. Now, the state of Chu is calm, but the state of Qin, on the other hand, is under great pressure from the state of Qi. In this case, in order to get the maximum benefit, Mi Jun is bound to slow down the pace of negotiations, try to stretch it out as long as possible, and delay the time for the Qin army to return to China for rescue, so that it is not difficult to force the Qin army to compromise. ”
Listening to Nie Xiaofan's analysis, Zhan Bai was expressionless.
"This is all the foolish opinion of the disciple, but it makes Mr. laugh." Nie Xiaofan observed his words and looks, and said modestly.
In the way of the military, Nie Xiaofan may be higher than Zhanbai, but for conspiracy or political negotiations, it is much inferior.
"Perhaps." In the end, Zhanbai gave an ambiguous answer, but judging from his wrinkled forehead, it was obvious that he did not fully agree.
Sure enough, the next day, the two armies of Qin and Chu began to negotiate for the division of Han land.
Different from the pre-war meeting the day before, this time, not only Zhang Han, the general of the Qin State, personally participated, but also brought more than 20 civil and military officials of the Qin State with him. On the other hand, on the side of Chu State, it is not far behind. Mi Jun still sat behind the scenes, but Su Qin, Cai Sicheng and other high-level officials all participated, as many as 30 people.
At the beginning, the two sides put on a tense posture, first detailing their respective exploits and showing their strength, and then they took out the map of the Han Kingdom, fighting for each city after city, without giving in to each other.
In order to cooperate with the negotiations, when the two armies confronted each other in Jimo City, it was not lively for you to come and go.
One day of talk does not achieve two days, two days of talk does not achieve three days, the whole process is full of the smell of gunpowder, sometimes a word of disagreement, and even physical contact will erupt.
……
On the fourth day of negotiations, Nancheng Courtyard.
"Sir, Zhang Han didn't show up today." Scorpion first elaborated on the negotiation process of the day, and finally added.
"Huh?" Zhan Bai raised his eyebrows, "What did Qin Guo say over there?" ”
"Qin Jun supervised Jun Yu and was in charge of the whole day of negotiations, and the explanation given for Zhang Han's absence was that he was busy with military affairs." Scorpion replied.
"Busy with military affairs? It's a busy military business, but I'm afraid I'm impatient with the procrastination of negotiations. Nie Xiaofan on the side sneered.
In this regard, Zhan Bai was silent and did not say anything more.
Day 5 of negotiations.
"Zhang Han was absent again, and there was a slight transfer of the Qin army in the north of the city." Scorpion spoke.
Zhan Bai was silent again, his face was contemplative, and his eyes were shining with doubt.
Day 6 of the negotiations......
"Zhang Han still hasn't appeared."
On the seventh day, the same was true.
Zhanbai's suspicion became even stronger, and at the same time, Nie Xiaofan seemed to feel that something was wrong.
According to his previous analysis, the battle of Qin and Qi is becoming more and more erosive, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Qi army, the losses under Bai Qi's command have reached tens of thousands, and three points of Qin land are occupied by the Qi army.
Judging from the atmosphere of the negotiations these days, Qin Jun did not have a trace of impatience.
Finally, when the negotiations lasted for a month, a shocking news broke out, and it instantly spread throughout the Spring and Autumn Continent.
60,000 Qin troops suddenly appeared in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, igniting the Battle of Xinzheng.
In this battle, Zhang Hanqin, the general of the Qin State, led 2,000 Qin Eagle swordsmen, took the lead, together with 60,000 Qin troops, broke 100,000 of the most elite tiger army of the Han army and 200,000 of the army of King Qin, who came in a hurry, beheaded 100,000 enemies, and killed 200,000 prisoners.
The appearance of the Yu Qin army was too sudden, and the king of Han did not even have time to escape, so that he was captured alive in the palace, and under duress, he repatriated the troops of the king of Qin, and issued an order to surrender and claim the vassal to the Qin state.
At this point, all doubts have been solved.
"It's a good Zhang Han, a good plan to secretly Chen Cang, under the guise of negotiations, but secretly he quietly dropped his troops and left, secretly infiltrated nearby South Korea, and did his homework in Xinzheng in one fell swoop." After hearing the news, Zhanbai's face immediately became solemn, applauding Qin Guo's plan, Zhang Han's bravery, and even more ...... Shame.
The Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han were formed by splitting the Jin State, which led to its stiffness not being great, but even so, with only 60,000 Qin troops, they dared to attack South Korea, and they won it in one fell swoop.
Just after this news came to Jimo City, the atmosphere at the negotiation table of Qin and Chu immediately changed, and the state of Chu began to become extremely strong.
The reason why Mi Jun chose this way is naturally not wrong.
Originally, the Qin army in Jimo City was only more than 120,000, but who knew that Zhang Han quietly transferred 60,000, in other words, in Jimo City at this time, the Qin army was only 60,000 at most, but the Chu army was as much as more than 200,000.
How could Mi Jun miss this good opportunity, almost in a forced tone, to make the Qin State compromise, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to mobilize 100,000 Chu troops and secretly surrounded the camp of the Qin army.
Just when the two sides were about to collapse at the negotiating table and even trigger a major war, another sensational news came.
"Meng Tian, the general of the Qin State, suddenly led a million lions, sent troops from the northern Yan State, and killed the Qi State." After the scorpion finished the news with palpitations, it quietly looked at Zhanbai.
Surprisingly, Zhan Bai, who learned the news, was not the slightest surprised.
Not only him, but even Nie Xiaofan was not too surprised, but just looked at Zhan Bai with a strange expression.
It was almost the same as Zhang Han before, before that, no one found out that Meng Tian would appear in Yan Kingdom, and there was not the slightest news of attacking Yan Kingdom, until now, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, leading a million lions to attack the Qi State in the south.
At this time, the battle of Qin and Qi has reached the most critical moment of decisive battle, and the outbreak of this news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the Qi army, which is almost in absolute advantage.
And the news came immediately, which immediately caused Qi Jun's rat thrower, and he was no longer strong before, and after three days of negotiations, the two sides of Qin and Chu finally ended the negotiations.
The territory of the Han State is divided by Qin and Chu, with the Han River as the boundary, and Qin occupies the fourth, ranking in the northeast. The remaining six parts of the Han land in the southwest, including Jimo City, were returned to the Chu State, and the two countries signed an alliance to announce it to the world.
As soon as the covenant was completed, the Qin army had no intention of staying, so they withdrew and returned on the same day. On the Chu side, the army was not withdrawn, but the palace was used as a temporary marshal's palace and began to discuss governance matters.
Zhanbai, who also stayed in Jimo, had already set his eyes on the Qiqin battlefield thousands of miles away.
Although the Qi State is strong, its domestic strength is only two million, and before, it sent elite troops to attack the Qin State. In other words, there are only a million soldiers in Qi now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is still available to maintain order in the city, but once they are on the battlefield, they will ......
Sure enough, in the news that continued to come for several days, the million lions led by Meng Tian can be described as invincible, destroying the city and pulling out the village, and the troops are unstoppable, in just half a month, they have captured more than 50 Qin cities, which is only 2,000 miles away from the capital of Qi.
The sudden change made Qi Guoshi panic, and the king of Qi almost issued three gold medals in a day, calling Sun Wu to move his division back to help, and the latter had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
It's just that the Qin State is so easy to deal with, especially the commander Bai Qi on the opposite side, who suddenly burst out with an unprecedented counteroffensive and pursued the retreating Qi soldiers.
Finally, Bai Qi's entanglement wore out the last bit of Sun Wu's patience, and the final decisive battle broke out between the two armies.
……
"Sir, the results are out." Contrary to his usual indifference, the scorpion pushed open the door with great eagerness.
"Half a year in a hurry, is there finally a result?" Zhan Bai muttered, and his gaze slowly fell on the scorpion.
The scorpion's face was very unsightly, even a little pale.
"A month ago, Sun Wu, the commander of the Qi army, and Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, launched a decisive battle in the area of Jingyang, and after a month of bloody battles...... The state of Qi was defeated. The scorpion took a deep breath and said.
"Is the Qi army defeated?" Zhanbai still doesn't have too many surprises.
"How is that possible?" On the contrary, Nie Xiaofan on the side almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand because of the shock.
In this battle, Bai Qi killed 300,000 Qi troops, captured 400,000 prisoners, and killed all of them. Sun Wu fled back to Qi with less than 100,000 remnants. The scorpion said bitterly.
Obviously, she was just as incredulous about the result.
At the beginning, a million Qi troops attacked the Qin State, how mighty it was, in addition to the previous losses, there were 800,000 troops before the Battle of Jingyang. On the other hand, the Qin army, which originally had 300,000, had only 100,000 remnants left by the time of the Battle of Jingyang.
100,000 against 800,000, the commanders of both sides are even more famous, in this case, who would have thought that this would be the result.
"Bai Qi still has this ability, tell me everything you know." Zhan Bai said indifferently.
"According to the information from Wanhuayuan, the reason for the defeat of the Qi army is due to two aspects. First, morale. Meng Tian led a million people to rampage in the territory of Qi, and in just half a year, three points of Qi land had been laid, which made the Qi army panic, and they only cared about returning to their homeland as soon as possible, and it was difficult to have the heart to fight. Second...... is also the main reason, the logistics of Qi are broken. When the scorpion said this, he couldn't help but pause.
Millions of troops, people eat horses and chew, how great the consumption of grain and grass, not to mention, after several major wars, the wear and tear of ordnance is extremely serious, in such a situation, the Qi army's dependence on logistics is undoubtedly huge.
But even Sun Wu didn't expect that the extremely smooth logistics supply in the past was suddenly interrupted, and the grain and grass were just enough, which would not have much impact in a short period of time, and the replenishable ordnance was the most important thing.
As we all know, the Qin people are strong in bows and crossbows, and the Qi army is equipped with a large number of Qi shields in order to fight against them. But the damage to Qi Dun is also extremely serious, once it loses its replenishment, the Qi army without the protection of Qi Dun will have nothing to do against the Qin army in the field.
"Mo Family...... Finally shot. After hearing this result, Zhan Bai sighed heavily.
Qi Guo...... I'm afraid I'm going to follow in the footsteps of the Han Kingdom.
