1382. The Great General of the Defending Cities

"We are all pillars of the Chu State, Chun Shenjun is dedicated to the Great Chu, and he will definitely not harm our lives!" Shangguan Mingren looked at the arguing generals and said.

"Now that Wei has encountered the attack of the Han and Zhao coalition forces, they can be said to be very empty inside, and there are only 50,000 reserve troops in the south to defend, and these 50,000 soldiers and horses are still scattered!" Shangguan Mingren looked at the generals and said.

In the battle of Qin, the Wei people took out all their family resources, in order to be able to eat the Qin State and sit in Guanzhong.

Moreover, Wei Wuji used a series of methods such as diplomacy, and in addition to the fact that Qi has always been unstable in the north, Wei Wuji concluded that Qin and Qi would not cooperate, so he boldly let the Jin State send troops to attack Qin.

The war was actually going according to what he thought, and if Wei Ying didn't die, maybe the war had entered his ideal state.

Because of alignment, Chu did not have a fortification, and in the army behind Weidi, he only left a small part of the reserve army, these reserve troops were mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were sent to death if they were pulled up, and he did not plan to use these people at no critical moment.

Today, there are a total of 150,000 reserve forces on the Qi defense line and the Chu defense line, of which 50,000 are in the south and 100,000 in the east.

Although there are still relatively many people, these are all reserves, and the equipment and whatsoever are incomparable with the standing army, and the combat effectiveness is weak, either old people or teenagers who have not received much training.

This kind of confrontation is okay to rely on fortifications for defense, but if you go out to fight in the field, it is basically fatal.

At this time, Shangguan Mingren was in charge of the Qin and Chu army, and he also learned that Huang Xie would also send him some reinforcements.

If Huang Xie's reinforcements are obtained, the number of Wei and Chu troops in this attack will be as large as 700,000.

In Huang Xie's letter to him, he also wanted to take Wutong City at the last time, and if he could, capture the two counties of Weidi.

Of course, Huang Xie did not give Shangguan Mingren an order casually, the order was issued, which must give Shangguan Mingren a bargaining chip to complete the task, and this bargaining chip was Huang Xie to give him reinforcements.

It can be said that in this attack on Wei, the Chu army was even higher than the army that attacked Qin.

Of course, Huang Xie also has his own considerations, although the Wei people have sunset, and this time they may destroy the country, but if they want to draw a knife in the Wei land and become the territory of the Chu State, it may be to snatch food in the mouth of the Qi State.

It is even possible to break out a conflict with Qi that is not very large, and if you want to win this kind of conflict, you must have a certain advantage in troops.

Although the state of Chu still regards the state of Qi as the head of the horse on the surface, as the national strength of the state of Chu recovers, the state of Qi gradually disobeys the yin and yang.

Of course, Qi also saw all this, and Qi did not take any action, because there was no time to move the knife against Chu State, and the cost of cutting down Chu was too great, and it might even hurt the roots of Qi State, so Qi State let it develop and restore its national strength.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Qi believes that if Chu does not reform, it can only become a strong country, not a hegemon, so Qi is not afraid of the strength of Chu at all.

As long as the bad roots of the Chu State are not destroyed, then the Qi State will never regard the Chu State as a real opponent, but only as a difficult opponent.

In the eyes of the Qi State, the attack on Chu is better than the attack on the south of Qin, but when it comes to the threat of the opponent, the threat of the Qin State is far greater than that of the Chu State.

Shangguan Mingren looked at the generals and said, "Ready, ready, tomorrow, we will launch an attack on Wei!" ”

Ten days later, almost all of Jishui County, which borders Wei and Qi, fell, and was in Jishui City, the capital of Jishui County.

The two coaches of Qi State, Wu Zixu and Jiang Ai, sat opposite each other.

"I didn't expect that in just three days, our army had already taken control of the capital of Jishui!" Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said.

After Zhou Jian left Yingqiu, Qi Xiaobai ordered the vanguard army to launch an attack on Wei, and the vanguard army was stationed in Luoyang County and Song Capital.

Wu Zixu marched on both sides, with the momentum of two sides, three days to break through the defense line of Jixi County, at this time, Jiang Ai led the warrior army into Weidi, her goal is very clear, that is, the capital of Jishui County's 'Jishui City'.

When Jiang Ai took the samurai legion and arrived at Jishui City, Wei Feng, the county guard of Jishui County, directly opened the city and surrendered, because the deterrence of the samurai legion was too strong, and his soldiers defending Jishui City were only 10,000, and they were all reserves, which could not be fought at all.

Although there were 100,000 men on the eastern defensive line, these 100,000 were scattered, and the reserve soldiers of Jishui City were only 10,000, and the inhabitants were only 300,000.

These 300,000 people also include children and women, which in Wei Feng's eyes, this is impossible to fight at all.

So when the samurai legion appeared in front of him, he surrendered, directly opened the city and surrendered, and became a prisoner of the Qi State.

After the loss of Jishui City, the offensive of Qi State against Jishui County was even more relaxed, basically every time the Qi army arrived at a city in Jishui County, the city lord surrendered, and there was no war intention at all.

Of course, not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, there are still unyielding people, but the strength in their hands Weibo, and the soldiers are not good soldiers, under the fierce offensive of the Qi army, the longest city only held for half a day.

"It took ten days to attack Jishui County, although we occupied almost all the important cities in Jishui County, but it was only almost, not all of them controlled Jishui County, and at the same time I got information that the county guard of Jidong County 'Wei Hao' is gathering troops and preparing for a decisive battle with us!" Jiang Ai looked at Wu Zixu and said.

Wu Zixu was silent for a while, then looked at Jiang Ai and said: "Wei Hao is not a simple person, maybe he is not good at attacking the city, but he is a veteran in defending the city!" ”

Jiang Ai nodded, Wei Hao, among the generals of the Wei people, there is no such character, the rank of this character has not been reached, and the highest military rank is only a major general.

Normally, this person should be an unknown little person, but Wu Zixu did not have a trace of contempt.

Because although this person does not have any good battle records, he is a real general who defends the city.

When he was the county guard of Jidong County, this person was the city lord of Wutong City and the general of the city guard of Wutong City.

This is also why when he heard this name, Wu Zixu's face was solemn, this person sat on Wutong City and had never lost it, and this person's skills in defending the city were very superb.

After Wei Wuji took power, Wei Hao was transferred to Jidong County, because of these counties, he felt that it was better for the Wei family to control them.

Wei Hao is a good talent, and he is a member of the Wei family, so he was directly transferred from the main general of Wutong City to Jidong County, as a county guard, and became a feudal official.

Jiang Ai looked at Wu Zixu and asked, "How long does it take to control the entire Jishui?" ”
