Qin State Chapter 204 The Bloody Battle of Beifeng Mountain
"Report, General Wang Ben returned from taking medicine and was besieged by rebels in Beifeng Mountain."
On the third day of Wang Ben's departure, a bloodied Qin soldier came to the Dune camp and brought the news of Wang Ben's ambush.
"What, Wang Ben has already taken the elixir?"
"The elixir really exists."
The dead qi on Ying Zheng's body at this time has condensed into substance, and his body can already clearly see the traces of corruption.
Ying Zheng pointed at Li Qing with difficulty, Zhao Gao's eyes rolled, and he said to Li Qing: "Your Majesty has a decree, let Li Qing lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to meet General Wang Ben and welcome back the immortal medicine for Your Majesty." ”
When Li Qing heard this, he frowned, the soldiers and horses of the headquarters? Li Qing has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, how can this soldiers and horses meet Wang Ben? Wang Ben's 3,000 cavalry were still trapped, and his more than 1,000 foot soldiers went up, so it wasn't to deliver food.
Meng Yi obviously thought of this as well, and said: "General Li Qing doesn't have many soldiers under his command, if General Li Qing wants to pick up Wang Ben, can you transfer troops and horses from various departments to General Li Qing?" ”
Ying Zheng couldn't speak at this time, Zhao Gao saw this, and said in his heart: "The Holy Sect has already set up an ambush, and there are too many people in this sand dune that are difficult to control, which is not conducive to my actions, but I can take the opportunity to transfer all these people away." ”
Zhao Gao said: "Lord Meng Yi is reasonable, since this is the case, I heard that the Meng clan has a private army with strong combat power, since Lord Meng Yi is worried about General Li Qing's lack of troops, why don't you bring your own soldiers and horses to welcome back the immortal medicine with General Li Qing?" ”
Meng Yi frowned and said, "There are still more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in the sand dunes, so why not use the hundreds of soldiers under my command." ”
Zhao Gao said: "The dune soldiers and horses are used to escort, if the dune soldiers and horses are transferred, causing rebels to disturb His Majesty's holy car, which of you will take care of it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even Meng Yi could only be speechless, everyone withdrew from Long Yuan, Li Qing was a little irritable in his heart, leading the troops to rescue Wang Ben, this is definitely not an easy thing, since the rebels can trap Wang Ben's three thousand cavalry, it shows that the rebels are many powerful and powerful, and the soldiers and horses under their command, in addition to the mastiff tribe warriors, although the other hundreds of Qin troops are also elite, but at most they are one enemy and two, and if there are more, it will not work.
Meng Yi patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it so much, I will hand over the eight hundred soldiers of the Meng family army to you, and go with you to pick up Wang Ben, by the way, do you remember what I said to you?" If anything happens, remember, go back to Xianyang. ”
The last three words, Meng Yi didn't say out loud, but Li Qing could easily read these three words from Meng Yi's mouth.
Li Qing nodded, and Meng Yi took Li Qing to the garrison of the Mengjia army, these eight hundred Mengjia troops were the personal guards brought by Meng Yi, including Meng Hu and others.
Meng Yi ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, and the soldiers of the Meng family who were resting immediately dressed up, ran out of the tent, and gathered in the school field.
Meng Yi took Li Qing to the general's platform, Meng Yi looked at the soldiers of the Meng family's army, and said, "Soldiers, do you know who this general is next to me?" ”
"Li Qing."
"Li Qing."
"Li Qing."
Li Qing is very famous in the Mengshi clan, especially after Meng Hu and others returned to the camp, they preached Li Qing's glorious deeds, coupled with Meng Ying's undisguised good impression of Li Qing, so that the Meng family army had already regarded Li Qing as their own.
Meng Yi raised his hand, and all the Meng family troops fell silent.
Meng Yi said: "From now on, I will hand you over to General Li Qing, and you will follow him to complete a task, I hope that you can go together and complete the task." ”
"Honorable General's Order."
Meng Yi patted Li Qing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li Qing, go ahead, I will hand over the Meng family army to you, I hope you can bring them back." ”
Li Qing felt Meng Yi's trust, tears flashed in his eyes, he nodded firmly, and said, "Brother Meng, don't worry, I will definitely bring them back." ”
Li Qing took 800 Mengjia soldiers, 500 mastiff tribesmen, and 500 Qin troops, a total of 1,800 people, left the sand dune camp and went straight to Beifeng Mountain.
Beifeng Mountain, located in the upper reaches of Jishui, is a valley that is not particularly large, but at this time, a fierce battle is taking place in the valley.
Wang Ben pulled out the arrow on his chest, his face showed a look of pain, Wang Ben was going to Langya County with a large army, but he didn't expect to be besieged by the rebels in this Beifeng Mountain, three thousand cavalry were trapped in the valley, the war horses had no way to charge, under the rain of arrows from the rebels, the Qin army fell one by one.
"It's not a rebel at all."
Looking at the standard feather arrow in his hand, a trace of horror flashed in Wang Ben's eyes, this feather arrow definitely came from within the Qin army, that is to say, the so-called rebel army was actually the army of Great Qin.
Wang Ben looked at the general in battle armor on the mountain peak and shouted angrily: "Who are you, who dare to attack my Wang Ben's army? ”
On the mountain peak, a middle-aged general with a face like a heavy jujube looked at the trapped Qin army, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
"General Xu, the news is coming, Li Qing is leading two thousand soldiers and horses towards us."
A soldier with a feather on his head came to the middle-aged general and said, the middle-aged general heard the words and took out the long sword at his waist: "Attack, before Li Qing comes, kill Wang Ben." ”
"Roar Roar"
The rebels were all dressed in the standard armor of the Qin army, which was exactly the same as the Qin soldiers under Wang Ben's command except for the feathers on their helmets.
At the exits on both sides of the valley, the rebels approached Wang Ben's army, with shield men in the front, followed by armourers with bows, and finally archers with bows and crossbows.
There were less than 1,000 cavalry left under Wang Ben's command, and at this time they had all dismounted and lined up in a circle, and the war horses had lost the ability to run in the valley, so Wang Ben could only choose to fight on foot.
Wang Ben saw that the rebels on both sides were slowly approaching, and knew that if the two sides were encircled, he would no longer have the ability to resist, so he decisively decided to choose one side to break through.
"Zheng"
Wang Ben raised his sword and ordered to break through from the left, and as long as he broke out of the encirclement, he could escape to the sand dunes.
"Soldiers, kill with me."
Wang Ben led the Qin soldiers to kill the rebels on the left, and the rebel generals on the mountain saw this, waved the command flag, and the rebels on the left immediately made defensive preparations, while the rebels on the right immediately dispersed and charged at Wang Ben's army.
"Ahh
Wang Ben kicked a rebel with a shield and slashed off two Changge, who stabbed him with a backhand sword, and took the lives of two rebels.
"Poof"
The two armies fought, Wang Ben failed to break through the formation of the rebels on the left after all, but was attacked by the rebels on the right from the rear, and fell into the front and rear attacks, Wang Ben's soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and an elite Qin army soldier fell in a pool of blood.
