Chapter 159: Wang Bahuo Defeats the Enemy Army, the Magi Leaves, and the Army is Defeated
Last time, it was said that Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, was leading a large army to prepare to encircle and suppress Wang Ba, the leader of the rebel army, who also had an army of 600,000, and Wang Ba was occupying the area of the six counties in the north of Guangsheng County. However, what Wang Ba didn't expect was that his own nephew Wang Hui actually surrendered to King Tai'an, and he was willing to be the vanguard of King Tai'an's army. As a result, in the battle outside Wuning County, Wang Ba was asked to kill his betrayed nephew Wang Hui with his own hands.
At this moment, Wang Ba led an army of 300,000 and immediately charged against the 600,000 army led by King Tai'an.
At this time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, looked at the rebel army led by Wang Ba, who was in tattered armor and lacked weapons, and his eyes were full of contempt.
Shen Bao, the general beside him, said flatteringly: "Lord Wang, you see, these rabble in front of us are trying in vain to break through our elite army, they are really killing themselves!"
At this time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, said: "Since this is the case, then let them try the battle formation of this king's army! Anyway, they are destined to die, and it is not an honor for them to let them die in front of this king's army?"
At this time, Wang Ba, who rushed straight towards the army formation of Xiahou Tai, King of Tai'an, was less than three hundred steps away from the army of Xiahou Tai, King of Tai'an, and suddenly encountered a uniform army in front of him attacked like arrows. The soldiers under Wang Ba's command were shot by arrows one after another and fell to the ground and died.
However, Wang Ba still ignored it, his heart was full of anger towards the enemy, he knew in his heart that he might not have the slightest chance of winning, but he still held the determination to die, even if he died on the battlefield, he did not feel any regrets. Besides, he doesn't really have no choice, but he has to get to the closest you get to the enemy in order for his idea to take effect.
Wang Ba kept advancing, constantly calculating the distance, three hundred steps...... Two hundred and fifty steps...... Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps...... One hundred steps...... Fifty steps...... Even if along the way, the army under Wang Ba's command continued to be sacrificed, and even Wang Ba was hit by three arrows, but Wang Ba did not flinch.
However, at this time, looking at the group of enemies in front of him who seemed to be deliberately sent to death, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, suddenly felt an inexplicable error in his heart, it stands to reason that watching the enemy fall in pieces of arrows in his body, he should not have any doubts in his heart, but he always felt a faint uneasiness.
Finally, at a distance of twenty-five paces from the enemy's formation, Wang Ba suddenly stopped his advance and ordered to his army: "Brothers, immediately throw the weapons we have made at the enemy, and let the enemy taste our wrath." ”
At this time, in the face of the army of Wang Ba who charged to them at a very close distance but stagnated, the soldiers of the army under the command of King Tai'an all felt a touch of inexplicability, what did the group of enemies in front of them want to do?
However, in the blink of an eye, the army under the command of King Taean understood what the group of enemies in front of them was trying to do.
In the blink of an eye, the army led by Wang Ba actually began to throw something similar to a water bladder at the army under the command of King Tai'an in front of him. When the soldiers under the command of King Tai'an were directly soaked with the water spilled from these open water bladders, just when their hearts were very puzzled. Suddenly, they saw the enemy in front of them take out their fire crackers and set fire to the arrows they had pointed at in their hands.
When Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, realized that something was wrong, the army led by Wang Ba had already shot their own army with fiery arrows.
King Tai'an immediately jumped down from his dragon chariot, kicked off his horse one of his own cavalrymen, and then fled immediately behind his army on the horseman's mount.
In an instant, the army behind King Tai'an had been completely surrounded by a fire. The king of Taean, who had fled far away, heard the screams of the army behind him, but he did not look back.
At this time, the army under the command of King Tai'an, which was burned by the fire, was in chaos, and countless soldiers were screaming in pain in the flames, but Wang Ba, who caused all this, was expressionless, and at this time in his heart, he felt that his hegemony had been achieved. Therefore, he said lightly to himself in his heart: "Wang Ba, your name means that you will achieve a generation of hegemony, so I would rather be responsible for the world than teach the world to bear me." For the sake of my hegemony, there will be countless sacrifices that will become a stepping stone for me to achieve hegemony. This scene in front of me is destined to be encountered often in the future. ”
Seeing that the enemy had almost lost most of his combat strength, Wang Ba immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, rush!"
Due to the army under the command of King Tai'an, there is no resistance now. Therefore, Wang Ba led the army under his command and almost easily wiped out the enemy.
Wang Ba's general, Wang Dehui, who is also another of his distant nephews, is being treated by local soldiers who have suffered severe burns. However, Wang Ba happened to see Wang Daohui's behavior now, but his eyes were full of disgust, and he directly bent his bow and shot at the enemy soldier who was being treated. At this moment, Wang Dehui was comforting the enemy soldier in front of him who looked very young, when suddenly there was a "poof", and an arrow was shot on the head of the soldier in front of him, and Wang Dehui watched the soldier in front of him being shot to death. He looked at Wang Ba who shot this arrow with some anger in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Uncle, why did you shoot this prisoner of war?"
However, at this time, Wang Ba suddenly said: "Wang Dehui, don't forget, they are enemies who have killed our relatives. ”
However, Wang Dehui said: "Even if they are enemies, they have already surrendered." Besides, even if he wants to kill, he will have to wait until his crimes are clearly interrogated. ”
Wang Ba said coldly: "Wang Dehui, if you want to continue to be an errand under me, don't have this kind of woman's kindness." ”
However, Wang Dehui asked, "Woman's kindness, uncle, I can fight the enemy on the battlefield, and I can kill them without mercy, because they are our enemies." Between friend and foe, I will not be merciful. However, if the enemy disarms and surrenders, I don't think we will be able to kill them. Because, this is the basic bottom line of being a human being. ”
Wang Ba was noncommittal to Wang Dehui's words, but another distant cousin next to him, named Wang Youshi, said: "Wang Dehui, don't forget your identity, uncle is not something you can talk like this." ”
Wang Dehui said to his uncle: "I'm sorry, uncle, since you must be like this, then please allow me to leave." ”
Wang Ba was a little incomprehensible, he looked at Wang Dehui's firm eyes, glanced at it contemptuously, and said, "Since that's the case, then please!"
Wang Dehui left, looking at the figure of his distant nephew leaving, Wang Ba felt that something precious in his heart seemed to have left him. However, for a while, he couldn't tell what it was.
However, Wang Youshi, who had always been jealous of Wang Dehui, suddenly bent his bow and aimed at Wang Dehui's heart when Wang Ba didn't notice it.
When Wang Ba found out, it was already too late, the arrow in Wang Youshi's hand had already been shot, and Wang Ba slapped Wang Youshi hard, but he didn't say anything, just sighed.
However, just when the two of them thought that the defenseless Wang Dehui was about to be shot, but Wang Dehui seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, only to see him suddenly turn around, and almost instantly, he bent his bow and shot towards the arrow that was shooting at him.
I only heard the sound of "bells", and the two arrows suddenly collided together, and finally both fell to the ground.
After Wang Dehui shot the arrow, he didn't turn his head at all, and he left the sight of Wang Ba and the others without turning his head.
And Wang Youshi felt a sense of frustration for the first time, and he realized that he was far inferior to Wang Dehui. There was a flash of jealousy in his eyes, and at the same time, a flash of inferiority.
However, Wang Ba beside Wang Youshi said: "Wang Youshi, I see the gap between you and Dehui! However, if you follow me in the future, you will definitely realize your own value." ”
Hearing his uncle's words, Wang Youshi naturally immediately agreed: "Yes, uncle, I believe that if I follow you, I will definitely make a great career." ”
Wang Ba nodded with great satisfaction, although he felt a touch of dissatisfaction with Wang Dehui's departure, but he was full of thoughts about his hegemony, and his heart was full of determination to become king in the future.
Therefore, Wang Ba immediately led the army, preparing to capture the fleeing Tai'an King Xiahou Tai. However, at this time, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, had already run all the way to Wuxiang County on the southern border of Tai'an Province.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, when the army led by Wang Ba pursued to Wuxiang County, it was surrounded by an ambush of nearly one million troops ordered by the King of Tai'an near Datieshan in the south of Wuxiang County. In the encirclement, Wang Ba led a large army and launched a fierce battle with the army under the command of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who surrounded them.
The battle lasted for nearly six days and six nights, and Wang Ba led the army, which was now sleepy and tired. Moreover, the food and grass of the army under Wang Ba's command has been completely cut off by the enemy.
What Wang Ba never expected was that Wang Youshi, whom he highly anticipated, would take the lead in leading his own subordinates to become traitors.
Wang Youshi's betrayal, so that Wang Ba, who was already tight, led the army to hold the last piece of high ground on the Great Iron Mountain, completely exposed the flaw, as the enemy poured into the high ground like a tide, almost all the soldiers under Wang Ba's command were killed, and Wang Ba killed himself after not being defeated in the battle.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
