Chapter 2 Crises The 20th generation of Shanxi has won a great victory
Although Chestnut had patted his chest in front of King Yan and played the package ticket, when it was time to receive the talisman seal, he was suddenly stunned. That night, Chestnut Belly nested alone in the study all night, but until the army was marched, he couldn't think of a feasible way of fighting.
"But it's up to providence." Although Chestnut regretted his rashness, he still led an army of 600,000 on the road.
When the army came to Yishui's edge, Chestnut immediately ordered the whole army to camp and rest for half a month. This is the old rule left by Le Yi: enter Yishui to rest in advance, so that the soldiers can gradually adapt to the warm weather of the Central Plains, so as to ensure the full physical strength of the army.
The camp was decided, and the deputy general Qing Qin couldn't wait to invite the battle, and he was impassioned, originally to divide his troops to attack Daicheng first. Chestnut didn't have an opinion, and he couldn't think of any better idea, so he nodded and agreed. So the 200,000 Yan army hurriedly crossed Yishui and went straight to Daicheng without resting.
Unexpectedly, half a month has passed, Qing Qin's 200,000 army seems to have been nailed to Daicheng by Lecheng, and he couldn't take a step forward, but Zhao's 150,000 army had already left the Wu'an camp and came all the way to Shancheng, and the leading generals were the famous old general Lian Po and Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo.
The nervous chestnut hurriedly summoned all the generals in the shogunate of the Chinese army and issued the first military order since his arrival: the whole army immediately crossed Yishui and took Shancheng before the main force of the Zhao army.
Unexpectedly, the army had just arrived in Shancheng, and the rain covered the vast mountains.
There is no war on a rainy day, this is the old rule of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Chestnut couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and ordered the whole army: "Set up camp on the spot, and then attack the city after the sun is clear." ”
After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Kuo slapped the case and got up suddenly, and let out a long exhale, "Okay!" This battle is already sixty percent. ”
Lian Po then walked quickly to the topographical map, examined it for a long time, and said with a smile: "The Yan army is exhausted from the enemy's rash advance, and it has been raining heavily recently. ”
Zhao Kuo nodded and praised: "Surprise attack its unpreparedness, the old general is good at planning." With that, the two of them burst out laughing.
That night, the black-pressed Zhao army braved the heavy rain, quietly dispersed the camp, and slowly approached outside the Yan army camp. In the rain, the Yan army camp was still flickering, and it was a safe scene.
I still don't know that the catastrophe is coming, and when I put out the military lamp, I will go to bed. In an instant, just listening to the shouts of killing outside the tent, it swept in like a tidal wave. In the panic, the chestnut belly couldn't care about getting dressed, and ran out of the big tent quickly with a fat belly. When I looked up, I saw soldiers everywhere who had lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, but the general didn't see a single one.
"God will kill me!" The chestnut belly raised his head to the sky and shouted, but he was at a loss.
Sima of the Chinese army, who was about to flee for his life, turned his head when he heard the sound and saw the chestnut belly, and couldn't help shouting: "The escort cavalry is behind!" Prime Minister go quickly! But after shouting for a long time, the chestnut belly was stunned and didn't react at all, so the Chinese army Sima had to drag the chestnut belly, push his fat body onto the horse's back, and then clamp him and run towards the back tent like a fly. The thousand Yan army knights in the back tent were making a mess at a loss, and suddenly saw the Chinese army Sima Pegasus holding a chestnut belly, and shouted loudly: "Protect the prime minister!" Everyone suddenly came to their senses, gathered one after another, protected their chestnut bellies in the middle, rushed through a bloody path, and ran away as if they were dead.
By dawn, the chestnut belly with two arrows in his shoulders had finally returned to his place. Even if Xindao returns to Yan Kingdom, there is only a dead end waiting for him, and the only way to do this is to fight for a fish and die in the net, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Thinking of this, Chestnut hurriedly ordered the whole army to stop retreating, and gathered the defeated army in place, and half a day later, about 100,000 people were gathered.
At this time, another defeated army came to report: the advance of the Zhao army was only ten miles away.
"Prime Minister, quickly withdraw!" Seeing that the chestnut belly was in a daze again, the Chinese army Sima couldn't help but be anxious, and was about to let people set up the chestnut belly to escape, but he didn't want the chestnut belly to shout with a horizontal knife: "The opportunity for success or failure, in this move, those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”
The soldiers of the Yan army, who were already panicked, were encouraged by the main general, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they turned around to meet the forward troops of the Zhao army and rushed over. Once they had the heart to fight to the death, the exhausted Yan army became unstoppable, and before half an hour of engagement, the forward troops of Zhao State had the tendency to rout, and fled in the direction of Shancheng.
"It was a rabble!" Chestnut laughed out loud on the horse, forgot the pain of the arrow wound, and waved his hand: "The whole army is chasing and killing, and the Zhao army must be annihilated!" ”
Yan Jun originally thought that through a bloody battle, he would be able to get a few more cushions before he died. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun would collapse at such a touch, and the confidence that had been lost suddenly swelled again, how could he care about anything else, and he covered up the past with a roar. Chasing straight through a mountain beam, it seemed that he was about to catch up with the Zhao army, and suddenly a dense jungle was in front of him, and the defeated Zhao army disappeared without a trace as soon as he entered the dense forest, and the entire battlefield was silent for a while.
"Stop!" No matter how straw the general is, he also knows about the ambush at this moment.
Chestnut's heart flashed, and he was about to order the troops to be withdrawn, but how could he have time. Rumbling war drums and the shouts of landslides and earth cracks resounded all around, and rows of thick spears more than two zhang long were stabbed out in the dense forest, and the Yan cavalry who were caught off guard were injured and fell off their horses. At the same time, the 30,000 Zhao army crossbowmen who were ambushed in the jungle jumped up, and countless large repeating machines shot at the same time, and the arrows suddenly poured towards the Yan army like a torrential rain, and the entire jungle became a huge slaughtering field.
"Cheng ...... Prime Minister, the retreat was ...... by Zhao Jun The heavy infantry of the Zhao army blocked ......" Before the panicked Chinese army Sima could finish speaking, he was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows.
But how is this good? While the chestnut belly was still ignorant, a knight of the Zhao army in the chaotic army had already rushed in front of him. Chestnut belly but saw the cold light flashing in front of him, his heart was not good, he hurriedly raised his knife to block, he didn't want the road to be muddy, the mount stumbled, and the knight of Zhao Jun raised his knife and chopped off the head of chestnut belly. Seeing that the Lord was about to be beheaded, all the Yan troops still had the heart to resist, so they threw down their long contradictory cards one after another, and surrendered on their knees with their hands raised.
Under the interception and slaughter of the Zhao army on all sides, the 400,000 Yan army was wiped out in only one day. The news of the defeat of Shancheng reached Daicheng in less than half a day, and the Yan army heard that the chestnut belly was killed, and the army's heart was shaken for a while. Le Cheng took the opportunity to lead the army to launch a counterattack, and the 200,000 Yan troops fled without a fight.
Walking among the corpses and bones all over the mountains, Zhao Kuo's mood inevitably became heavy.
"General!" Just when Zhao Kuo was full of emotion, a familiar voice came from behind. Zhao Kuo hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to see Ji Xue, who was dressed in military uniform, carrying a bloody thing, riding a horse and galloping towards him, but he was sassy and heroic.
"Ji Xue!" Seeing Ji Xue coming to him, Zhao Kuo shouted with a smile on his face, and wanted to come over to lead the horse. I don't want Ji Xue to have a dark face, and said in a rough voice, "Who is Ji Xue?" Zhao Yan doesn't know! ”
Zhao Kuo hurriedly turned his back and pretended to look into the distance, holding back a smile: "Yes!" Be! Be! What did General Zhao Yan report? ”
Ji Xue then jumped off the war horse and threw the bloody thing in her hand at Zhao Kuo's feet: "Look, this is what." ”
Zhao Kuo looked down and saw that it was the huge fat pig's head in the chestnut belly of the prime minister of Yan Guo.
"Zhao Yan is also a great merit!" Zhao Kuo couldn't help but excitedly hold Ji Xue in his arms, then reached out and carefully wiped the blood from Ji Xue's face, and asked with concern, "Aren't you injured?" ”
Ji Xue shook her head with a smile, and was about to speak, but saw the Chinese army Sima Feima come to report: "Old General Lian Po invites the general to return to the shogunate to discuss matters!" ”
Zhao Kuo hurriedly let go of Ji Xue, took two steps back, and coughed violently twice in disguise: "Well, Zhao Yan!" If you have made this great achievement, this general will ask you for a reward for your merit, and retire first! ”
"No!" Ji Xue smiled and replied in a rough voice.
When Zhao Kuo returned to the shogunate of the Chinese army, the old general Lian Po had been waiting in the tent for a long time. King Zhao originally intended to retreat after repelling the Yan army, but when the two met, after some discussion, they both believed that the main army of the Yan State had been wiped out, and it was the right time to march at this moment. So Zhao Kuo ordered the army to rest for a few days, and when the battle in Daicheng was over, he waved his army north.
Two days later, Daicheng's good news also arrived. Zhao Kuo was overjoyed, and on the one hand, he sent someone to send the good news to Handan, and on the other hand, he returned to Shule and raised troops to attack Yan. The two armies combined a total of 200,000 troops, and the army quickly crossed the Yishui and went straight to the Yan realm, and came to the Yan capital Jicheng without encountering resistance.
