Meng Fu, who was entrusted with a heavy task by the commander of the Qin army, Wang Di, and hoped to reoccupy Shangdang and open up the back road, had already led an army of 100,000 from Wu'an City to the city of the eldest son.

At the end of April, Meng Fu, who had just arrived in Wu'an City, received the news that the general Sima Terrier had been killed in battle, and the 30,000 Qin troops led by him were all wiped out.

Before Meng Fu could react, Meng Fu's subordinates, Sima Terrier's son, and Qin general Sima Jin rushed into the big tent.

As soon as Sima Jin entered the big tent, he fell to the ground, crying and kowtowing to Meng Fu:

"General, my father has died at the hands of the swallow dog. Please avenge my father! ”

Meng Fu stepped forward, personally helped Sima Jin up, and comforted him softly: "General Sima, your feelings, this general empathizes!" Liaodi children are bold. He actually sent troops south, occupied my Shangdang County, and slaughtered the soldiers of our Qin army. ”

"Please rest assured, General Sima. This time, the old general Sima was unfortunately killed by the Yan army, and this general will lead our army to defeat the Yan army, kill Rong Lao'er and Liu Sheng, and avenge the old general. ”

Sima Jin bowed to the ground again and said to Meng Fu: "Thank you, General." ”

Time was urgent, and Meng Wei led an army of 100,000 people to rest in Wu'an City for only one day, and then he raised his army and killed the eldest son city.

The deputy general Liu Sheng led the Liao army on the bank of the Nieshui River, defeated the Qin army, and beheaded the general Sima Terrier. The entire Liao army is in Shangdang County, and there is no Qin army that can threaten the existence of the Liao army.

Liu Sheng left a brigade to guard the prisoners of the Qin army in Nicheng, so he led Rong Yan's first army and Hu Guiliang's third army to gallop to Changzi County to join the commander Rong Wei, preparing to meet the army led by Meng Fu.

The terrain of Changzi County is high in the west and low in the east, and it slopes from west to east along the Taiyue Mountains. The western part of the county is steep and steep, with peaks and peaks stacked; The central, eastern, and northern parts of the country sink and are plains.

According to this topography, the commander of the Liao army, Rong Yan, did not put the army in Changzi County, but only placed the logistics and even the hospital in Changzi City, leaving a small number of troops to defend Changzi City.

He and his deputy general Liu Sheng, led 80,000 Liao troops to the east of Changzi City, and set up a large camp in the plain area ten miles away from Changzi City, where they waited for the arrival of the Qin army.

On the 4th of May, the army of Mengfu, who had arrived in the territory of Changzi County, received a report from the front of the army:

"Newspaper. General, fifteen miles ahead, found the Yan army camp. ”

Meng Fu stopped the advance of the army, pondered for a while, and said to the generals of the Qin army behind him: "Generals, it seems that the Yan army does not plan to hold the city at all, this is planning to fight me in a decisive battle here!" ”

Meng Fu looked at the terrain, turned around, and ordered: "Pass my general order and order the army to camp on the spot." Send people to the camp of the Liao army, issue a war letter to it, and fight a decisive battle the day after tomorrow. ”

When the generals of the Qin army heard this, they were shocked and "promised".

After reading the war letter sent by the commander of the Qin army, Meng Fu, Rong Yan laughed, and without the slightest hesitation, he could reply to the letter.

Said to the captain of the Qin Military Academy who sent the letter:

"Thou shalt go back and tell General Meng that our army is here to await the arrival of your army the day after tomorrow.

May 6, the eldest son east of the city.

The sky was blue and cloudless. It's summer, and the weather is starting to get hotter.

This season is the season when the vegetation on both sides of the Fenshui River is flourishing, and the birds and beasts are galloping. But ten miles east of the eldest son's city, the sound of insects was cut off, and birds and beasts were extinct. In the summer breeze, the painted horns are ringing, and the soldiers are standing in a forest, and it is already a slaughter.

Early in the morning, both the Liao and Qin armies walked out of the camp and began to arrange their troops.

The Liao army is the heir of the Zhou family, advocating fire virtue, so the military flag and military robes are all red; The Qin State took the destruction of the Six Kingdoms and the Zhou Dynasty as its national policy, believing that water could extinguish fires, so the Qin army advocated water virtue, so the military flags and military robes were all black;

When the two armies unfold in front of the formation, the distinction is clear. One side is like a burning flame, and the other side is like a raging torrent.

Looking at the columns of cavalry of the Liao army on the opposite side, the slowly unfolding formation, and then seeing the equipment of the Liao army's horses, all the generals of the Qin army knew that today's battle was not easy to fight.

Meng Wei pointed to the Liao army on the opposite side and said to the generals of the Qin army: "Generals, there is no doubt that the Yan army on the opposite side is the Liao army that has destroyed the national county and has a prominent reputation in recent years, and the armies of the Yan State and even the Central Plains countries cannot have such a momentum!" ”

"The new king of Yan State ascended the throne, and he actually betrayed the alliance between Qin and Yan, and what he was counting on was this army. Our army is in a duel with this army today, which is to annihilate the army here, so that Yan Guo will no longer have an elite division from now on. ”

It can be said that the equipment of the Liao army really shocked the generals of the Qin army, including the main general Meng Wei.

Among the generals of the Qin army, except for Sima Jin, who stared at the Liao army opposite with blood-red eyes, the other Qin army generals looked at the Liao army opposite and felt a little confused.

The Qin army has been at war with the countries of the Central Plains for decades, and the Qin army has always been proud of the weapons and equipment of its own army! But today, what's going on? In the armies of the countries of the Central Plains, when? There is actually such an army with weapons and equipment, which surpasses the Qin army.

Rong Yan, the commander of the Liao army, who was two miles away from the Qin army, also put down the telescope in his hand at this moment.

said to the deputy general Liu Sheng and the lieutenant general beside him: "The Qin army that came to the eldest son city this time must be the elite of the Qin army. The weapons and equipment far surpass those of the Central Plains countries, and they are really good. ”

Liu Sheng, the deputy general, didn't know much about the armies of the Central Plains countries, and wondered: "General, I think the equipment of the Qin army is also average compared with our Liao army!" ”

When Rong Yan heard this, he laughed out loud and said to Liu Sheng: "General Liu, you are comparing the equipment of the Qin army with our Liao army, and when you lead the army to fight with the armies of other countries in the Central Plains in the future, you will know the situation of the armies of the countries in the Central Plains." ”

In the fifty-eighth year of King Hao of Zhou (Jiachen, 257 BC).

In the first year of King Yan Xiao, in the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the sixth day of the fifth month.

The Liao army, with a total of 180,000, and the Qin army fought in the east of Changzi County.

This was the first large-scale duel between the two armies.

The Liao army will be Rong Yan, leading the most elite first, second and third armies in Liao, with a total strength of more than 80,000; The commander of the Qin side is Meng Fu, who leads the most elite army of 100,000 in the Qin army.

The officers and men of both armies stepped into the battlefield with the belief that they would win.

The officers and men of both armies had absolute confidence and courage in this battle.

For so many years, the army of Qin was invincible in the Central Plains. In the face of the Qin army, the countries of the Central Plains lost their troops and lost their cities and land. The 16.7 million elite armies of the Central Plains countries were destroyed one after another under the attack of the Qin army.

Therefore, in so many years, the Qin State has become one of the most powerful countries in the Central Plains with millions of armor soldiers and thousands of generals.

Whether it was from the battle of Yique with Han Wei to the decisive battle of Changping with Zhao State; Or go to Yiqu from the north and Yingchu from the south. The Qin army was invincible and invincible. Its prestige has made the countries of the Central Plains dare not step into the Qin soil for decades.

In the course of nearly ten years of growth, the Liao army was also invincible in the northeast, invincible, and invincible.

Whether it is the attempt to smash the Three Kingdoms to invade Liao, or the feat of destroying the national county, it has endowed this army with an undefeated military soul. It opened up thousands of miles of territory in the northeast, and its prestige made the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north dare not covet half of the Yan country.

Right now, the two most elite armies of this era are about to face off.

The officers and men of the two armies believe that today is the end of the other army.

The two armies, from the main generals to the soldiers below, did not have the slightest doubt that they could defeat each other's army.
