Chapter 277: Dilemma
The snow-covered dead branches met the flames, and they only stopped moving for a moment.
The next moment, thick black smoke came out of the wooden pile, driven by the north wind, and blew towards the Western Wei army hiding in the south.
The Western Wei soldiers, who had just smiled, instantly lost their smiles, and were so choked that they couldn't breathe, coughing again and again.
"Ahem, ahem... The king... What should we do now? ”
Wei Wangbao's face was ugly, and he regretted that he didn't choose to fight to the death just now, and now the combat power of the Western Wei soldiers is even more unbearable.
In the previous battle, although there would be heavy casualties by virtue of the superiority of troops, it would definitely be victorious. The Qin army was ready to fight, even if the combat strength was not strong and the number was inferior, the Wei soldiers were powerless.
"Ahem... I just know how to ask, and I don't want to flee to the mountains soon!! Wei Wangbao said angrily.
"No!"
"But on the mountain... There's no wood, and it's cold... Your Majesty, let's just leave it to war. ”
"Battle?! What are you going to do with this king?! Ahem, ahem... Come on! ”
The Western Wei soldiers endured the cold and choked, and escorted the march to the mountain.
Fu Kuan and Chen Ping smiled and watched the Wei soldiers who fled in a hurry, and methodically commanded the archers to shoot.
By the time all the Western Wei soldiers gathered at the top of the mountain, the mountain road was already covered with the corpses of the Wei army.
During the escape, Wei Wangbao realized that only a few of the Qin soldiers held halberds, and most of them were armed with bows and crossbows.
"It is a miracle that the Qin State, which has always prided itself on being powerful, actually used the tactics of weak Korea." Wei Wangbao smiled bitterly with a black face.
At the bottom of the mountain, Fu Kuan pulled out a burning branch to keep warm, his eyes blazing.
"The Wei army has reached the top of the mountain, and this is the best time to kill them!"
"Rushing forward will lead to a desperate fight, and it will save them more effort if they are frozen to death." Chen Ping said with a wicked smile.
"That's the King of Wei, if he dies, the Western Wei will be in chaos, and the siege of Great Qin will be lifted." Fu Kuan said urgently.
Chen Ping shook his head with a smile, "I don't know how many heirs King Wei Jingyu has." Wei faked that his brother Wei was able to take over, Wei was dead, and another Wei Wang Leopard came. The death of the king of Wei is small, and the people of Wei need to be made timid. ”
Qin and Wei had a hundred years of feud, and Fu Kuan knew Chen Ping's plans, but he still had some concerns.
"I heard that the King of Qin rules the country with virtue, and the King of Wei died like this, I am afraid it is not the original intention of the King of Qin." Fu Kuan reminded.
"Kindness is to one's own people, and the king thinks too well about some things. The removal of the Xianyang Academy Palace will still attract criticism from Confucianism, and pit Confucianism is the most effective strategy. Chen Ping said with a smile, "The world has been anti-Qin for more than three years, and we can't let them become the people of Great Qin again without paying any price, right?" ”
"This..."Fu Kuan's face was a little ugly.
"Hahaha, if you want Fu to lead this kind of Qin soldier, the king will not be embarrassed." Chen Ping explained.
Fu Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I just think that if you stay too long, the Wei army in Pinyang City will also know about the war." The group of people in the past may not dare to rush to help, but now, it is better to solve it quickly. ”
Chen Ping has known Fu Kuan's temper in the past few days, Fu Kuan is good at rapid marching, and he doesn't want to delay in doing things.
"Then let them come." Chen Ping said, "You can still calculate them once at night, and there are not many troops left in Pinyang, and it is not impossible to fight head-on." Volleying outside is much easier than besieging a city. ”
Fu Kuan was anxious to make meritorious contributions, but when Chen Ping said this kind of thing, he couldn't fight anymore, so he put down the halberd and sat by the fire to roast the fire.
"There is Mr. Lingyan in Qin, but there is no need to worry."
On the mountain, Wei Wangbao stroked Han Xin's last bag, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Although Han Xin's strategy worked, it was recognized. And he was still outside Hangu Pass, and he inexplicably felt that Han Xin was playing with him.
Wei Wangbao clenched his bag tightly, not knowing whether to believe it anymore.
"Han Da's plan really worked wonders, but it snowed heavily, which was contrary to Chen Ping's calculations." The embarrassed soldier whispered bitter water.
"If the commander of Han came in person in this battle, Dingsheng would capture Chen Ping and Fu Kuan."
"Don't talk nonsense! The king also collected all the Wei land back then, so that he would not be weaker than Han Xin! ”
Wei Wangbao listened to the discussion, and was extremely impetuous. Tear open the bag and pull out a piece of silk cloth.
The silk cloth was torn open, and Wei Wangbao's face was still with anticipation, and he froze in an instant-"Don't worry, the king, everything can be solved when the ministers go to Qin." ”
Wei Wangbao got up suddenly, and threw out the silk cloth fiercely, "When will you wait until you enter Qin?!" ”
The surrounding soldiers caught a glimpse of the ink characters, and their hearts completely fell into the ice cave.
However, there are still many Western Wei soldiers who are interested in Han Xin.
"It's... Maybe it was because Commander Han thought that the war with Qin would end, but Commander Han must have not expected that the Qin people were cunning and could force the king to open two tricks in a row. ”
"Are you saying that this king is not as good as Han Xin?!" Wei Wangbao was completely annoyed.
"It's... That's not what the minister meant..."The Western Wei soldiers waved their hands and retreated.
"Behead on the spot! Throw the body down the mountain! Wei Wang Leopard roared.
Although the others had the heart to bear it, they had to act according to Wei Wangbao's words. In the sound of begging for mercy, blood sprayed, and a body was thrown down silently, and the blood remaining on the ground emitted a thick white gas.
Wei Wangbao pointed at the pool of blood and shouted, "Han Xin knows that the battle against Qin is extremely dangerous, but he doesn't come with the widow, he has become rebellious!" If there are those who dare to say good things for Han Xin, this is the end! ”
"No..."
The Western Wei soldiers echoed, and then Yaqi was silent, trembling and waiting for the morning sun to come.
Time passed little by little, and the heavy snow suddenly stopped, but the entire Pinshan Mountain was covered with a thick layer of snow.
"The snow has stopped, and sure enough, the sky will not die, my Great Wei!" Wei Wangbao said with a smile.
The Western Wei soldiers smiled bitterly, the chill after the snow was even stronger, and many of the Western Wei soldiers' lips were frozen purple, their eyes were blurred, and they were already a little unconscious.
"Your Majesty... If you hold on any longer, you will definitely die, or quickly... Let's go down the mountain. ”
"Except that the eastward road has not been surrounded by Qin soldiers, it is impossible to go to Pinyang again..."
In desperation, the Western Wei soldiers discussed again.
Wei Wang Leopard had no intention of managing it anymore, knowing that it would be difficult to attack another city, so he kicked his hands and squatted in place.
"Let's go down the mountain, it's always warmer under the mountain than on the mountain." Wei Wangbao was powerless.
The soldiers nodded, and walked slowly along the mountain with their frozen legs.
Under the dark march, there were faint Western Wei soldiers stepping on the air and falling down the valley.
Wei Wangbao followed behind him, secretly fanning his cheeks.
"An army of 100,000 has come here and has fallen to such a point! If this king can survive this calamity, he will let his children taste this taste! ”
