Chapter 56: The Battle of the Canyon
In the canyon, the combined forces of Yan and Zhao were galloping rapidly, and after a while, all 70,000 cavalry entered the canyon, looking like a long dragon.
Suddenly, a roaring sound sounded a hundred meters in front of Yan Fei, and as soon as Yan Fei looked up, he saw a large stone rolling down from the top of the canyon, and hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the people behind him all stopped when they saw this scene.
In an instant, the road in front of them had been blocked by more than a dozen big stones, about six or seven zhang high, it was already a dead end, Yan Fei's face changed greatly, and he wanted to order a retreat, but at this time, there was also a rumbling sound from the rear, and his face was like dead ashes.
He raised his head with a hint of fantasy, between the two sides of the canyon black armor, the word 'Qin' flag fluttering in the wind, a Qin army general with a sword at his waist, a grim face, next to him stood a man wearing a gossip robe, holding a feather fan, smiling at the 70,000 army below the canyon.
Sima mistakenly put the word 'Sima' on the flag into Yan Fei's eyes, his pupils shrank, and he was already desperate in his heart.
"Those who descend will not be killed!" Sima Coo coldly spat out four words.
The army below, which was still in turmoil, also calmed down at this time, looking at the Qin army holding a bow and crossbow above, although it was in a desperate situation, it still had no intention of surrendering.
"I'm Zhao Ren, do you want to surrender?"
Ma Jin, the general of the Zhao army, said loudly.
"No Fall"
"No Fall"
"No Fall"
The unyielding voice of Zhao Guoshi resounded through the canyon.
"Yanren, do you want to descend?"
Yan Fei also pulled out the sword at his waist and asked loudly.
"Die Forever"
"Die Forever"
"Die Forever"
"Hahaha, worthy of being my Yan country's man. Yan Fei smiled a little sadly, and then roared.
"Kill. ”
Sima Cuo above looked at all this coldly, and when he saw that Yan Zhao did not fall, he ordered: "Release the arrow." ”
Suddenly, the arrows above rained down, although the Yan Zhao soldiers were not afraid of life and death, it was difficult to cause much damage to the Qin army above the canyon, and only some feather arrows could hurt the Qin army, but it was very small, and the Qin army not only had bows and crossbows to shoot, but also a large number of stones were thrown down from above, which was really a heavy casualty.
The screams sounded in the canyon, and still no one surrendered, Zhuge Liang above the canyon no longer smiled, and the feather fan stopped swinging, looking respectfully at the Yan Zhao soldiers who were constantly fighting back below.
"If I die, I will use my corpse as a shield to protect my brother and fight my way out of the encirclement. ”
Zhao General Ma Jin has been hit by several arrows, holding Changge, seeing his own soldiers, they are not afraid of death, and they have suffered heavy casualties, and said sadly.
"If I die, I will use my corpse as a shield to protect my brother and fight my way out of the encirclement. ”
"If I die, I will use my corpse as a shield to protect my brother and fight my way out of the encirclement. ”
The morale of the slaughtered Yan Zhao soldiers in the canyon became more and more victorious, and the corpse of the dead brother's war horse was lifted above his head as a corpse shield. The effect is significant, and there are many fewer people who are shot by the rain of arrows.
Soon, the army was killed under the stone wall that was blocked by the road, and everyone had a tacit understanding to put the corpses of the horses and the corpses of their comrades next to the big stones, and even wanted to use the corpses to pile up a road, shouting as they went: "If the body dies, the corpse is a ladder, and the brothers are desperate to live." ”
Yan Fei, who had been protected by his personal guards, had red eyes and tears, looking at the corpse ladder that was piled higher and higher, how he hoped that he was also a member of the corpse ladder.
I don't know how long it took, a ladder road made of corpses came out, Yan Zhao stepped on the corpses of his comrades and walked up step by step, and finally reached the top of the big stone blocking the road, the top of the big stone is still more than two hundred meters away from the canyon of the Qin army, they only have one way to escape, looking at the steep stones in front, they have no time to carry the corpses and stones to build another ladder road, the Qin army has already carried a bigger stone over, and wants to destroy the ladder road.
Therefore, I have no choice, I can only fill it with my own life.
"Don't... Yan Fei saw those soldiers who jumped into the jump, and shouted heartbreakingly.
However, he couldn't stop the moths from jumping down.
Perhaps, compared to living in the world, death is also a relief for them, but how grief-stricken the parents who wait for their sons at home, the wives who wait for their husbands, and the children who wait for their fathers.
Seeing this scene, the Qin army that was attacking above couldn't help but slow down their attack, and they were also shocked and admired by the choice of these people.
Seeing the reduction of feather arrows and the sparseness of falling rocks, Sima Cuo's voice sounded without a trace of emotion: "Why, with pity, they don't die, and those who die are waiting." ”
The Qin army was shocked, and immediately accelerated the speed of the attack.
However, nearly a thousand people still managed to climb over this falling rock, but unfortunately, before a thousand people had time to rejoice, at the exit in front of them, there was a black Qin army holding a bow and crossbow, facing the valley.
Seeing this, the little hope that Yan Fei had just had in his heart was extinguished again.
He not only remembered what King Yan said to him when he was about to set off: "Yan Qing, the most elite 50,000 cavalry of my Yan Kingdom will be handed over to you, whether you can destroy Qin this time depends on you and Ma Jin, you can rest assured, your family will be taken care of by this king, don't live up to the trust of this king." ”
"The king can rest assured that Yan Fei will definitely take Hangu Pass, cut off the grain route of Qin, and cut off the back road of Baiqi. The state of Qin will be destroyed. Yan Fei swore solemnly.
"Okay, well, with your words, this king will be relieved. ”
Thinking of this, Yan Fei looked up to the sky and said sadly: "The criminal minister Yan Fei has failed my king!"
Then, looking at the Qin army outside the canyon, the hatred in his eyes was monstrous, and he ordered: "Kill." ”
Rushing up with a thousand people on foot, the feather arrows of the Qin army also 'swished', and a thousand people finally died at the exit, and Yan Fei also died under the random arrows.
On the edge of the canyon, Sima Cuo and Zhuge Liang looked at the corpses in the canyon, although they had won a big victory, they couldn't feel any joy.
After half a ring, Sima Cuo said: "Is this the elite of Yan and Zhao?" It is unimaginably powerful, if they fight on the flat ground, with their morale and the spirit of not fearing death, they are wrong, and they are invincible. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "The ability that people can burst out in a desperate situation is beyond imagination, even if the Wei State and Wei Wushu are opposed, I am afraid they will suffer heavy losses." ”
"This plan, did the Military Aircraft Pavilion have been formulated last year before we went west. Sima Cuo turned to look into Zhuge Liang's eyes and asked.
"How so. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Sima said wrongly: "First, when I was in Xichuan County, Mr. made a mistake and selected 100,000 good horses and 30,000 cavalry soldiers, preferably within a month. ”
Second, I later learned that the 50,000 defenders of Beidi Pass transferred more than 40,000 people to Hangu Pass to station. This is too much of a coincidence. ”
"Third, the military order of the Military Aircraft Pavilion and the edict of the king are very important, and it is impossible for Mr. to get the news before he is wrong. The only possibility is that he witnessed or participated in the development of this plan last year. ”
"The Fourth ............"
"The Five ......"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and smiled: "The general will know later." ”
Five days later, Emerging City.
City Lord's Mansion, Backyard.
Bai Qi looked at the letter in his hand, and his face, which was still a little sad, immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "I see, the Six Kingdoms are really calculating." ”
Put down the letter and said, "Chuan Wang Ling, Zhang Tang, Meng Mingshi and a few people came to the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Bai Qi personally said: "No." ”
Another 20 days have passed, and Wu Qi has to personally inspect the Qin army camp in recent days, but the smoke from the Qin army camp has never decreased, and the number of patrols is the same as a month ago.
At noon today, he looked at the Qin army camp as usual, and there was still no change in the slightest, and muttered to himself: "No, calculate the time, Bai Qi should have pulled out the camp to counterattack Hangu Pass more than ten days ago, how could there be no movement, no, I always feel that something is wrong." ”
He commanded, "Come." ”
The guard said, "What does the boss command?"
"Send someone to the trail to check if the enemy defenders are still there. Wu Qi commanded.
"No"
Two hours later, in the big tent, the person sent came to Wu Qi and said, "Commander Qiqi, there are only a few enemies guarding the small roads in Xinxing City. ”
Wu Qi shouted: "Okay, you are a white person, you will turn the group of this handsome man, come to the people, and the people will discuss the matter." ”
Half an hour later, the gate of the coalition camp opened, and the soldiers of the six countries lined up their troops and slaughtered towards Xinxing City.
Seeing this, the royal tomb on the city wall smiled a little contemptuously and said, "I didn't find out until now, is it too late." ”
Since he was discovered, he didn't stay any longer, and Bai Qi left him 30,000 cavalry, just to let him set up a suspicious formation and break off, as for Xinxing City, the enemy wanted it, and gave it to them.
The order was given: "Pass the order, burn all the camps, and withdraw." ”
"No. ”
Wang Ling left, Xinxing City was obtained by the Six Kingdoms, Wu Qi thought that it would go through a bloody battle, but he didn't expect that no one died, and he easily got Xinxing City.
City Lord's Mansion, Wu Qi sat in the position that originally belonged to Bai Qi, Wu Qi glanced at the generals in the lobby, and said: "Bai Qi retreated, it must be that Hangu Pass has been lost, we must bite Bai Qi, and we can't let him return to Hangu Pass, otherwise, with his ability, he will definitely retake Hangu Pass." At that point, everything will not make sense. ”
Pang Yuan said: "There are more than 20 cities in Taiyuan County, and there are two cities from Xinxing City to Hangu Pass, the original plan was to capture all the cities in Taiyuan County, but now, we have only more than 300,000 troops that can fight, and if you want to capture all the cities, you must divide an army of 150,000, and there will be heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"Agree, each of the three counties outside the Qin State has 3,000 to 7,000 defenders, and it is really not a wise choice to attack the city with three times the number of troops. Besides, if we don't have enough troops, how can we fight in vain? Tian Hengdao.
"But if we don't take the city, we will pursue Bai Qi, and the cities will unite and rob our army of food, and then our army will be defeated. "Far away.
"This is not simple, our army will directly capture the remaining two cities leading to Hangu Pass, and send heavy troops to guard it, as for the three county cities, the Qin State has been destroyed, and it is not in the pocket of you and my six countries. Jin said.
"Okay,"
"That's it, but it's appropriate to be stationed in Xinxing City. Lejian said.
Wu Qi ordered: "Tian Heng, you must lead an army of 70,000 to garrison Xinxing City, there must be no mistake." ”
When Tian Heng heard this, he immediately felt bad, why is he, the Six Kingdoms agreed that after the destruction of the Qin State, the Six Kingdoms will share the credit for the destruction of Qin, and let him garrison Xinxing City, how much credit can he have, he looked at the people around him, they all looked gloating, Tian Heng was secretly angry, but Wu Qijun ordered him to take it.
got up and said in an unhappy tone: "Tian Heng takes the order." ”
Wu Qi, who was the first, sighed in his heart, the Qin State had not yet been destroyed, and he began to intrigue, as for why Tian Heng, he also had some considerations.
