In the lobby, the military map was opened, and Sima Shang held a half-meter-long bamboo pole and pointed to the northernmost border of Zhao State: "If you want to destroy Donghu, first seal its retreat, there are three ways to retreat: first, the north of Yanmen County, the north of Yanmen County and the Xiongnu contact, the border has the Great Wall, and Donghu and the Xiongnu are mortal enemies, which is equivalent to two checkpoints, so this road is unlikely." Second, flee from the northeast of Yanmen County and return to the territory of Donghu. The third, from Yanmen County to the east, either enter the Yan Kingdom, or go north. Donghu and Yan were also enemies of each other, and they could only go north after fleeing eastward. In this way, there is only one way to escape from the northeast of Yanmen County back to the territory of Donghu. ”

"So the general decided to send a force of 50,000 cavalry to Pingyang to garrison and block the exit to the northeast.

Zhang Nan said: "General, first, we can't guarantee that the army sent to Pingyang will not be discovered by Donghu, and if Donghu is discovered, he will definitely not choose the northeast route to escape." Second, the dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, and if Donghu was defeated, then what did it matter to the Huns, Yan State, first escape from our army's pursuit and killing. Therefore, the last general thought that Pingyang should send 30,000, the east of Yanmen County to send 10,000 to Daijun, and the north of the Great Wall to send 20,000, and it is best to detour north from Pingyang to avoid being discovered by the enemy. ”

Sima Shang thought for a while and said: "It is reasonable, although our army only has 70,000 left, it is enough to deal with the enemy's 50,000 army, and the army on all sides will form an encirclement trend, and the entire army of Donghu will be destroyed." ”

"General, if our army goes to war, will Donghu Ke meet it?" asked one of the generals.

Sima Shang said confidently: "Donghu has been robbing for nearly two months, and he is arrogant in his heart, if our army goes to war, he will not be afraid of war." ”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a piece of terrain and said, "However, riding on foot is a disadvantage." Our army can send 30,000 troops to lead the battle, but it is only allowed to lose, not to win. Lead it here, there are many hills here that are extremely beneficial to our army. ”

The generals saw that there was a figure-eight terrain, which was an inverted figure-of-eight shape, which was very convenient for ambushes.

A general said: "Among the 70,000 troops left by the general, there are 30,000 recruits, and our army is riding on foot, and the outcome is unpredictable." ”

Sima Shang said: "Although our army has many new soldiers, there are many mountains between Xincheng and Pingyang and Pingyi. First, the mountainous area, the high ground is many, the ups and downs are very large, the slope is steep, the valley is deep, the cavalry can not charge, the infantry advantage is great, and it is easy to ambush, this kind of terrain Donghu has no combat experience, this is the geographical advantage. Second, the officers and men of our army are in order to protect their relatives and unite as one. So there is no need to worry, this time there will be no return to Donghu. ”

After arranging, Sima Shang said in a loud voice: "But who else wants to add?"

Seeing that the generals had no opinions, he ordered: "Zhang Nan, Zhao Mu, and Wei Rong listen to the order." ”

"In", Zhang Nan, Zhao Mu, and Wei Rong got up and said.

"Order, Zhang Nan led an army of 20,000 to make a detour to the Great Wall in the north, Zhao Mu led an army of 20,000 to Pingyang, and Wei Rong led an army of 10,000 to Daijun and Daicheng. ”

"No. The three of them commanded.

Chen Yu listened to the order. Sima Shang ordered.

"In"

"Let you lead an army of 30,000 to the north to lead the enemy, and you will not be able to win. Is it possible?" asked Sima Shang.

"The last general will inevitably lead Donghu into a trap. The old Chen Yu replied.

The rest of the people went down to prepare, Zhang Nan, Zhao Mu, and Wei Rong stayed. ”

"No. The rest of the generals stood up and saluted, and then all withdrew.

Zhang Nan asked respectfully, "What else does the general command?"

Sima Shang said: "What you need to guard against is not only the Donghu people who fled in Yanmen County, but also the Donghu aliens who fled in the other two ways. Don't take it lightly. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "If you encounter the army of Qin, you must be on guard, and you must not fight with it first, and you must grasp the proportions." ”

"The last will be remembered. "Threesome.

"But, General, after destroying Donghu, is our army going to war with the Qin army?"

Wei Rong and the others also looked at Sima Shang with complicated expressions.

Sima Shang asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Nan said: "We will listen to the general." ”

Sima Shang said: "Let me think about this in advance, and I will send someone to inform you at that time." ”

"No. The three left.

Sima Shang looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and muttered: "They are all good men of my Zhao Kingdom, how did they meet Zhao Qian and Guo Kai and other faint kings and traitors." ”

Ten days later, 200 miles north of the new city, Bazi Valley.

The 30,000 troops of Donghu were trapped, and the army was mighty, frantically rushing towards the valley mouth, like a pouring flood.

Sima Shang was on top of the cloud chariot, and when he saw those Donghu aliens wearing leather armor and running densely, his face was cold, he pulled out his sword at his waist, and said coldly: "Kill." ”

"Knock Knock"

The war drums sounded, and the soldiers of Zhao State lined up into a phalanx, including infantry formations, cavalry formations, and bow and crossbow formations.

"Put. ”

The general of the bow and crossbow array shouted loudly, and the "brush" feather arrows rose into the sky and flew towards the enemy.

"Puff"

The charging Donghu aliens were shot off their horses one by one by feather arrows, which stimulated the ferocity of the Donghu people, and they all howled, even more crazy.

The enemy knew that they could only survive by rushing out of the valley, and some rode horses, some ran, and some ignored the arrows in their arms, and rushed forward with red eyes.

As soon as the cloud car sent the command flag, the cavalry on both wings of Zhao State was dispatched, and the archers of the Chinese army retreated, and the cloth armor stepped forward, holding a shield and holding a long ge.

The cavalry of Zhao State took the lead in handing over the enemy, colliding with each other, falling countless horses, screaming and rising and falling with each other, and then looking at it, they had been trampled into a mass of flesh by countless horses.

In the Chinese army, the Zhao army's soldiers stabbed into the enemy's chest, fell off the war horse, the two sides resisted and fought together, Donghu had a slight upper hand with the advantage of the war horse, but as time went by, the war horse could not move forward, they had to fight on the horse or dismount, and the battle under the horse was defeated by the Zhao army, and the disadvantage gradually appeared.

The battlefield is a meat grinder, one after another people fell, the Zhao army was better equipped than Donghu, and it slowly became a crushing trend, but Donghu was also strong, and both sides lost a lot.

Chen Yu is a veteran in his fifties, and with his position, he does not need to rush to the front line, but he is still in the former military formation, wearing gray armor and leading several personal guards, rushing to kill.

A sword beheaded a Donghu man, turned around and looked at Sima Shang on the cloud car in the distance behind him, although he couldn't see clearly, he could only see a tall figure, but in his eyes it was so majestic, he Chen Yu was the person of King Zhao, he also had an edict in his arms, loyalty compared with the people, he chose the people.

He is still loyal to King Zhao, and his family is still in Handan, but he is even more reluctant to see that the heroes of Zhao are killed by him.

He turned around, clenched the sword in his hand, and rushed into the Donghu camp with the soldiers, perhaps this is the most glorious way for a soldier to die, regardless of the intrigues and tricks in the court.

Two and a half hours after the battle, 30,000 Donghu were all wiped out, the battlefield was full of corpses, there was no open space to settle down, the living Zhao Jun was scarred, looking at this hell on earth, many people lost their voices and suffered.

In the past few days, they have also seen the corpses of hundreds of people, and they can only pray for the safety of their relatives in their hearts.

There are more than 10,000 Donghu people, who will definitely come to the rescue after receiving the news, Sima Shang has already set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and the war is almost over at this time.

Sima Shang was on top of the cloud chariot, looking at the stumps and broken bones all over the place, and then looked to the south, and said, "It's time to come, and I should go." ”
