Chapter 280, Life and Death Tribulation 1
At this time, everyone looked at King Qin, ready to listen to his decision. What these people thought in their hearts was the same as Bai Qi, if this matter was not handled properly, it would greatly hurt the morale and morale of the Qin army. ใLatest chapter reading. ใ
King Qin stood up, paced lightly, and after a long time, he turned around, looked at Li Yan and the others, and said in a deep voice: "This matter needs to be prepared with two hands, first, order the Qin army in the surrounding counties and townships to quietly enter the city at night, strengthen the garrison in the city, and not let outsiders know, second, order the involvement with Tongguan, let him guard Tongguan tightly, and not be careless, third, send more scouts to find out the whereabouts of Gao Yingxiang and the peasant army, and fourth, send secret agents to Huayin to see if Ziyi has secretly recruited troops and private troops. โ
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, these four orders can not only protect themselves, but also probe the enemy's situation, King Qin thought really thoughtfully.
So a group of spies were sent out, and at the same time, at the same time, groups of Qin troops secretly marched into Xi'an City, and the Qin army in Xi'an City increased from more than 5,000 to 9,000 people.
A few days later, the spies sent to Huayin came back, saying that there were no camps outside Huayin City, and there were no more people in the city.
Li Yan listened and was secretly puzzled. But there is another plan, if Ziyi hears the wind in this action, he will immediately move the camp away, and it is not difficult to do, so there is no camp, and it does not mean that Ziyi has no private placement.
But at this time, the scouts sent out to investigate the peasant army came back with an astonishing news, which shocked the Qin army almost like a thunderbolt from the sky.
That is, Gao Yingxiang and his 50,000 peasant army were completely defeated in the Meridian Valley, and only a few men and horses of the 50,000 army were surrounded and scattered in the mountains, and Gao Yingxiang himself, and several of his generals, Huanglong Liu Zhe and others, were all captured.
And it was none other than Sun Chuanting who defeated Gao Yingxiang.
The news from the scouts was succinct, as they had only heard the results and had not personally participated in the earth-shattering battle.
This fierce battle can be said to be earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, no less than Xiang Yu's fight in the giant deer.
Things have to start from a few days ago, after Gao Yingxiang entered the Meridian Valley, he began to march very smoothly, and walked more than 200 miles in five days, but then it rained in the valley, which made the peasant army very embarrassed. Gao Yingxiang ordered to slow down the march and kill some skinny horses in the army, so that everyone could barely eat.
Gao Yingxiang didn't care about these things, he knew in his heart that the more weather like this, the more Qin Jun couldn't imagine that he would suddenly appear in Guanzhong. So it's a god help.
That Mr. Su Dan also seemed very calm, he was alone in the army, Gao Yingxiang was not worried about him cheating, just walked all the way.
The brigade walked for twelve days and came to the back of the Meridian Valley. In front of it is Heishuiyu, and after passing here, the road after that is relatively smooth.
At this time, the sky was also clear, and the army swept away the dull atmosphere of the previous few days, and many people talked and laughed, and began to look forward to the good days of being able to drink wine and eat meat in the city of Xi'an.
However, they didn't see Xi'an City, but they saw a group of murderous officers and soldiers who had been waiting for them for several days, and the banner of this official army was a big banner with the word Sun.
Sun Chuanting!
He waited in the valley for five days, and finally waited for this rival.
From the moment the vanguard of the peasant army saw the officers and troops, the tragic battle began. Gao Yingxiang knew in his heart that he had fallen into a trap, but this group of people was an official army, not a person of Ziyi, which made him not expect.
Su Dan was very clever, and when the sound of the battle in front of him just came, he quickly changed his clothes, and when everyone was stunned, he mixed into the peasant army.
An army of tens of thousands of horses, it is impossible for everyone to know him, so Su Dan wore the clothes of ordinary people and ran all the way back, he knew that there were 10,000 horses led by Fan Ju behind him, who could pick him up.
Gao Yingxiang was also extremely puzzled at first after figuring out that it was Sun Chuanting who was blocking in front of him, because he always felt that Sun Chuanting was still behind him, how could he come here to block him?
But no matter what, we must break through the previous blockade. Gao Yingxiang's intuition told him that this official army would not be led by Sun Chuanting himself, let alone how many people there were, and it should not take much effort to break through the interception with the combat effectiveness of his men and horses.
So under this kind of thinking, Gao Yingxiang began to command the peasant army and rushed forward desperately.
Sun Chuanting stood on a steep slope from afar, condescending, looking at the battlefield in the distance, he couldn't help but sneer, because he saw the peasant army one after another, like a tide rushing towards the official army. He was relieved, Gao Yingxiang must have thought that his army was not the main force of the official army, so Sun Chuanting ordered in the flag language that the officers and troops everywhere should hold on desperately, and they must not take a step back, even if they die, they will die on their own positions.
The peasant army walked in the valley for more than ten days, the baggage has been discarded a lot, and the war horses are even less, fortunately in this place, there is no need for war horses, both sides are fighting on foot, all the cavalry are dismounted and carried knives, and the infantry fights.
Hao Shaoqi's eyes were red, he personally led the forward team, holding a shield, to Sun Chuanting's front army assault, Sun Chuanting's soldiers are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they are ready to work, full of physical strength, not afraid of the crazy impact of the peasant army at all, because the valley road is extremely narrow, people on both sides are crowded in many places, people are crowding people, colliding with each other with shields, and then pulling out short knives, slashing and stabbing indiscriminately, even spears and other weapons, can not be used.
Gao Yingxiang personally supervised the battle, he braved the rain of arrows, stood in the middle army, did not retreat, the soldiers on both sides used shields to block the stray arrows for him, Gao Yingxiang watched with his own eyes, his men and horses rushed to the front of the officers and soldiers in batches, and then fell down in batches, and the people behind stepped on the corpses and continued to fight.
The officers and soldiers also fell a lot, and the corpses on both sides had already blocked some narrow sections, and those who attacked behind had to remove the corpses before they could rush forward.
Hao Shaoqi's body was already soaked in blood, he no longer knew how many swords he had changed, only that he had rushed through three dangerous places in a row, and he was also injured in a few places, but fortunately it was not critical, so he let his own soldiers wrap his wounds for him and continue to rush and kill.
At this time, the two sides have been disrupted, you have me, I have you, mixed together, the camp is wrong, the generals can't find soldiers, and the soldiers can't find generals, and finally they become their own battles, the peasant army is to rush out of a section and count a section, and the officers and soldiers are to kill as many of them as possible.
The front army had almost lost everything, Gao Yingxiang pulled out his sword, led the Chinese army, and charged in person. This Chinese army is his elite men, there are a lot of heavy cavalry, at this time these cavalry dismounted, holding spears, relying on the heavy armor on their bodies, not afraid of swords and guns, lined up in a line, and came forward to kill.
Sun Chuanting saw it clearly, he knew that Gao Yingxiang must be among this army, so he ordered to blow the trumpet and annihilate this elite army.
His general, Shen Zhou, got the order, and also led the elite soldiers, rushing over from behind, blocking Gao Yingxiang's men and horses head-on.
The elite soldiers of this official army, holding an iron shield in one hand and an iron hammer in the other, lined up in a line, and did not retreat, the spears of Gao Yingxiang's men and horses could not pierce the iron shield, and the two sides began to stalemate, and Shen Zhou ordered the officers and soldiers to smash with iron hammers, many spears were broken, and Gao Yingxiang's men and horses retreated.
After resting for a while, the peasant army rushed up again, this time they changed their weapons, and also found a lot of iron hammers to smash the iron shields of the officers and soldiers. Sun Chuanting immediately ordered, and the archers standing on the high place fired arrows in unison, shooting many peasant soldiers on the spot.
However, Gao Yingxiang personally supervised the battle, and the peasant army was high-spirited, shouting and continuing to charge, and finally smashed a hole in the iron shield array of the official army, and the brigade of men and horses poured in. Officers and troops were charged on both sides.
Gao Yingxiang also rushed through with the flow of people.
How do you know that Sun Chuanting is still ambushing the rear move, he has set up a total of three lines of defense in Heishuiyu, and Gao Yingxiang broke through only the first one.
The thirty-mile mountain road of Heishuiyu is full of ambushes of officials and soldiers, many of these ambushes are ambushed on the high slopes on both sides, and bows and crossbows are prepared, as long as the peasant army rushes over, they shoot arrows and throw stones, and countless peasant troops fall in the valley.
On the first day, Gao Yingxiang broke through the first line of defense, and the peasant army was exhausted, and at night, it was unable to charge again, so it had to camp and rest. Taking advantage of this time, Sun Chuanting also reorganized his men and prepared to fight again.
The battle situation on the second day was similar to the first day, Gao Yingxiang attacked to the death, Sun Chuanting commanded the army, did not back down, on this day, Sun Chuanting was also wounded by an arrow and was shot in the thigh by an arrow, but he still stood still, standing upright like a green pine.
However, Gao Yingxiang's men and horses still broke through his second line of defense, although they paid a heavy price, the peasant army had more than 20,000 casualties, and there were many people, who really couldn't bear such a tragic fight, so they were frightened, deserted, and ran away. Gao Yingxiang counted the people at night, and there were less than 20,000 people left.
Rao is like this, Gao Yingxiang still firmly believes that he will eventually break through Sun Chuanting's encirclement.
At this time, Gao Yingxiang had completely affirmed his judgment, and the person who intercepted him in front of him must be Sun Chuanting, because other people and horses were not so fierce.
According to Gao Yingxiang's estimates, Sun Chuanting's officers and troops suffered no more than 10,000 casualties, and after two days of fighting, the officers and troops began to be exhausted, and the two sides were already in the same situation.
Early in the morning of the third day, the sun had just pierced the morning clouds in the sky, and the final battle finally began.
Sun Chuanting has hoarded all the men and horses in the last line of defense, and he also personally went into battle, Sun Chuanting commanded, planted his banner on the highest stone, and stood under it, holding a sword, to show his determination not to retreat.
