It was also a coincidence that when Qin sent Song Yang to Ye County, it happened that the Qin army also sent news from Lixian County, saying that after the young marshal army successfully landed in Luyang Town, only about 3,000 partial divisions were left to guard the county seat of Lixian County and Luyang City, and the main force drove into the Dajianshan path, and took the small road directly to the hinterland of Nanyang.

After the meeting began, Lü Qi first of all proudly made his deception plan public, so that the Qin army knew that the reason why the young marshal's army took the risk of taking the path to enter the army was all because of his own clever plan, and all the generals of the Qin army were also very happy.

Although he has not been on the battlefield for more than ten years, but the former Qin army middle-level general Lu Qi has a lot of hands in tactical arrangements, in order to ensure the control of the mountain road, Lu Qi decided to divide the northbound army into two teams, the front team is lightly armed, responsible for taking control of the mountain road exit, the main force carries military grain and grass, responsible for dealing with the army left by the young marshal army in the county seat of Lixian County and Luyang, and then assists the front team to completely block the mountain road exit. In addition, Lu Qi arranged for Qiu An, the lieutenant of Nanyang County, to lead an army to reinforce the southern exit of the Dajianshan Trail, and the battle situation on the southern front of the headquarters.

Lu Qi arranged it this way, of course, the pressure on the front team of the northern front was the greatest, and on the way to quickly attack and control the dangerous mountain road, it was very likely to be intercepted and obstructed by the young marshal's partial division, even if the attack was successful, it was necessary to prevent the young marshal's army from counterattacking with all his might, as long as he was a little careless, he might lose his efforts. But fortunately, there is still a trump card available in Lu Qi's hand, in order to prevent the anti-Qin righteous division from entering the pass from Wuguan, the Great Qin Imperial Court in addition to the strict fortification in the Wuguan area, and sent the captain Ma Daxiao to lead the elite reinforcement of Nanyang in the five thousand passes, and obeyed the command of Lu Qi, this army is not only well-equipped, but also all the soldiers are young and strong Qin people, with extremely strong combat effectiveness and absolute loyalty and reliability, so Lu Qi did not hesitate, and immediately handed over the important task of attacking the exit of the mountain road to this Guanzhong Qin army.

In order to gain time, after hurriedly making preparations for the attack, the Qin army in Guanzhong under the command of Ma Daxiao only carried five days of dry food, and set off north in the afternoon of the same day, and rushed to Kunyang lightly.

In the local battlefield, the troops were already at a disadvantage, only a thousand people guarded by the young marshal army of Lixian did not dare to fight, honestly closed the city and held on, fortunately, Ma Daxiao's department did not launch an attack on the city, quickly went around the city, and quickly killed the entrance of the Dajianshan road in the southeast suburbs of Luyang, but what made Ma Daxiao's nest fire was that when it was dark, when he led the army to the mountain road crossing, Luyang's young marshal army had directly abandoned the small city of Luyang, moved to the outcrop of the mountain road and set up camp to defend it, protecting the retreat of the main force of the young marshal army.

It was too dark, and the army was quite tired, Ma Daxiao did not dare to launch an attack overnight, but while letting the army set up camp to rest, he sent people around to inquire about the situation of the young marshal army, and only then did he know that it was Zhong Liwu, the general of the young marshal army, who led the army to stay in Lixian and Luyang, but because Zhong Liwu had previously tightly sealed the mountain road crossing, no one in Luyang knew that the main force of the young marshal army had gone south to there, and how far away it was from the mountain road crossing.

"We have to fight quickly, and we must seize the intersection before the main force of the thief army reacts, otherwise we will not only lose our efforts, but also may be turned the tide by the thief army and fall into passivity."

After coming to this conclusion, just after dawn the next morning, Ma Daxiao took the Qin army in Guanzhong to the intersection of the mountain road, preparing to attack the camp of the young marshal's army, but when he came to the camp of the young marshal's army during the day, Ma Daxiao was extremely dumbfounded to find that the camp built by the young marshal army at the intersection of the mountain road was very strong, and the fortifications such as the ditch wall, the antlers and the horse were readily available, and a sheep and horse wall was built between the ditch and the camp fence, which was so strong that it was daunting.

Fighter planes are rare, no matter how hard they can't give up, forced to helpless, hurriedly prepared some offensive weapons, Ma Daxiao still stubbornly urged the army, to the young marshal army junction camp to launch a frontal assault, the young marshal army officers and soldiers under the command of Zhong Liwu rose up to meet the battle, with the battalion fortifications and the Qin army soldiers to the death.

One side at any cost of the frontal attack, the other side has to do whatever it takes to defend the position, this battle is of course extremely cruel and bloody, in order to win the control of the intersection, the Qin army in the five thousand passes to a thousand people as a unit, against the young marshal's arrow rain in turn forward, forced attack, dense feather arrows in the sky endlessly, the Qin army's offensive is also like the waves of the sea undulating, the first team is still in the trench and sheep horse wall position fierce battle, the second team has been forced to rush up, just like a hammer, Constantly knocking on the defensive position of the young marshal's army, splashing flesh and blood in the sky, and bursting out with one earth-shattering shouting sound after another.

The Qin army in Guanzhong is indeed good in combat effectiveness, only relying on some temporary entrenches, it is hard to break through the camp and ditch of the young marshal army many times, rush to the outside of the sheep and horse wall, and fill up many sections of trenches with earth, stone and firewood bundles on the same day, forcibly occupy the sheep and horse wall defense line of the young marshal army, forcing the young marshal army officers and soldiers to fully retreat to the fence defense line, in the fierce battle, the generals of the Qin army have taken the lead in the battle, to stimulate morale, only in the afternoon two five hundred long, twelve hundred generals, the madness of the offensive is staggering.

Fortunately, after all, the actual combat experience of the young marshal soldiers is above the Qin army in Guanzhong, which has not fought for more than ten years, although the troops are weak, but relying on the strong camp fortifications, the young marshal soldiers have always firmly held the fence defense line, did not let the Qin army make a new breakthrough, and also caused far more casualties to the Qin army in Guanzhong than the own army in the fierce battle, and successfully persevered until it was dark.

After it was completely dark, the Qin army in Guanzhong after a long-distance attack had dropped very significantly in terms of physical strength, and the offensive was greatly weakened. However, in the evening of the same day, Lü Qi sent someone to get in touch with Ma Daxiao, asking about the progress of Ma Daxiao's attack, and said that the main force of the Qin army in Nanyang had successfully arrived in Kunyang at noon today, and would definitely be able to reach Lixian within tomorrow. Ma Daxiao, who had not even taken the intersection, was ashamed in his heart, and the next morning he sent troops to attack the camp again, determined to take the position at the intersection before the main force arrived, no matter what the price was.

The next day's battle made Ma Daxiao both angry and helpless, it stands to reason that after yesterday's fierce battle, the same casualties of the young marshal army should have decreased its combat effectiveness, but in the newly launched offensive and defensive battle, the young marshal soldiers not only continued to firmly hold the camp defense line, but also fought more tenaciously and fiercely than yesterday, from morning to night did not give the Qin army any chance to break the camp, but also caused the Qin army in Guanzhong to suffer more casualties, in the two days of the battle casualties were almost close to 2,000.

In the evening of the same day, Lü Qi sent someone to contact Ma Daxiao, saying that it was not too late to continue attacking the camp after the main force of the Qin army had arrived at the city of Lixian County, and Ma Daxiao, who still had not taken the position at the intersection, felt more and more guilty, and decided to attack the camp overnight in shame.

This rest is spoiled, it is the third watch of the night, when the exhausted Qin army soldiers fell asleep, a despicable and vicious young marshal army team suddenly touched the Qin army camp, although the Qin army sentry also found out in advance, and sounded the gong alarm first, but the Qin army soldiers who were too tired still failed to get up at the first time to respond to the team, the young marshal soldiers easily entered the Qin army camp like a group of hungry wolves, and killed the Qin army soldiers who were still getting up and wearing armor all over the ground, and it was a complete chaos.

Relying on a long period of strict training, in the melee, Ma Daxiao still hastily organized a team, in a vain attempt to counterattack the enemy who retreated from the camp, but the young marshal army that was killed overnight was obviously a new force, and the individual strength and equipment were not bad, so they simply defeated Ma Daxiao's team head-on, completely crushing the Qin army's hope of counterattack.

After their camp was completely disrupted, a young marshal army was killed in the dark night, followed by the front army into the Qin army camp, and the more ferocious and cruel slaughter of the Qin army soldiers who had been in chaos, the Qin army in Guanzhong soon collapsed completely, rushing to escape from the camp, Ma Daxiao also quickly grabbed a war horse, and took some personal soldiers to escape to Lixian County under the cover of night.

After fleeing to the city of Lixian in embarrassment, Ma Daxiao found the camp of the main force of the Qin army as soon as possible, and also saw Lu Qi yawning before dawn, but when Lu Qi asked Ma Daxiao whether he was defeated by that group of enemies and how many enemy troops there were, Ma Daxiao went to ask and didn't know, Lu Qi heard it so loudly that he couldn't help but shout: "What are you doing to eat?" I don't know how many enemies there are, I don't know where they came from, I don't know the identity of the enemy, and I don't know the identity of the enemy. ”

"Sin will die!"

Completely self-contained, Ma Daxiao could only pull out the sword on his waist, and the horizontal sword was about to kill himself, but fortunately, Lu Qi's henchman Chen Hui pulled him in time, and while persuading him with good words, he said quickly to Lu Qi: "Junzun, General Ma is a lieutenant sent by the imperial court, if he makes any mistakes, it will inevitably affect the morale of our army." ”

After that, Chen Hui also gave Lu Qi a look, Lu Qi understood what Chen Hui meant, and knew that if he forced Ma Daxiao to death, it would definitely be difficult to explain to the Great Qin Court in the future, so he had no choice but to persuade: "General Ma, there is something to say, the old man is just impulsive, he said something excessive, don't take it to heart, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if you accidentally lose today, you will take revenge back in the future." ”

To put it mildly, Lu Qi finally persuaded Ma Daqi to put down his sword, and asked people to take him down to rest, and then Lu Qi asked Chen Hui very strangely: "Why did Ma Daxiao lose so strangely?" Our scouts have long found out that Xiang Kang's rebels only left 3,000 troops to guard Lixian County, and now there are still 1,000 troops surrounded by us in Lixian County, how can there be so many troops to sneak attack Ma Daxiao's camp? ”

"Junzun, with all due respect to the villain, this time we are afraid that we have fallen for Xiang Kang's traitor's plan to lure the snake out of the hole." Chen Hui's tone was stern, and he said: "If the villain is not bad, the main force of the thief army must be not far from the exit of the mountain road, so they can have such sufficient troops to sneak attack General Ma's camp." ”

"What?" Lu Qi was taken aback and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't we be very dangerous, we only have a total of 20,000 troops on the northern front, and Ma Daxiao's 5,000 troops have been defeated, how can the remaining troops be the opponent of the main force of the thief army?" ”

Chen Hui nodded helplessly, admitting that the army had fallen into danger, while Lu Qi's face turned pale for a while, and after a little calculation, he shouted: "Hurry up, send someone to the mountain road crossing to check the situation, and then send an order to the whole army, ready to retreat!" ”

The cruel truth was unfortunately guessed by Chen Hui, when the sky was completely bright, the Qin army scout Pegasus who went to investigate the enemy's situation reported that the main force of the young marshal's army was really coming out of the endless mountain road, and had already gathered no less than 20,000 troops in the open place outside the mountain road crossing, Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this, in addition to scolding Xiang Kang for his shameless treachery, he hurriedly roared: "Quick, immediately pull out the camp and retreat!" Withdraw to Ye County! ”

"Junzun, we can't waste any more time pulling out the camp." Chen Hui hurriedly said: "We should abandon the camp and withdraw our legs, and some unnecessary baggage can also be given up directly, otherwise, we will be easily caught up by the thief army." ”

After only thinking for a few seconds, Lü Qi gritted his teeth and accepted Chen Hui's suggestion, and instead ordered the army to directly abandon the camp and all unnecessary baggage, retreat lightly and flee for his life, but after the order was issued, the Nanyang Qin army of course threw down the camp tent and assembled in a panic, and just assembled into an army, and immediately retreated striding towards the road under the leadership of Lu Qi. However, what made the Qin army in Nanyang bitter was that seeing them retreating, the young marshal army in the city of Lixian County immediately went out of the city to pursue, and forcibly pursued the Qin army with a weak force that was less than one percent of the Qin army.

In the end, relying on the hard work of the army behind the palace, the main force of the Qin army successfully got rid of the pursuit of the young marshal army of Lixian County, but the Qin army did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and still did not stop, retreating to the direction of Kunyang at full speed.

The pursuit speed of the main force of the young marshal army was also very fast, in the afternoon of the same day, the main force of the Qin army who retreated lightly had just seen the Kunyang City Tower from a distance, and the main force of the young marshal army led by Xiang Kang himself had already caught up with the rear team of the Qin army.

"Xu Juncheng, please reinforce the old man's rear team and cover the old man's withdrawal to the Yexian land!"

After meeting with Xu Wei, he threw down this sentence, and Lu Qi immediately continued to move south with the main force of the Qin army, retreating to Yexian as quickly as possible, ignoring the battle situation in the rear, and only letting the army rest for two hours that night, and then immediately continued to go south overnight, fleeing so fast that the rabbits chased by hungry wolves were amazed.

The soldiers of the Qin army and Lu Qi did not work in vain, when the sky was light, the Qin army in Nanyang was only twenty miles away from Ye County, although Lu Qi still did not let the army stop to rest, but he was also a lot more relieved, and said to Chen Hui quite proudly: "Xiang Kang, that traitor, would never have imagined that the old man would withdraw so quickly, and he didn't even rest much at night, if nothing else, our main force can be saved." ”

"Junzun, don't be careless." Chen Hui didn't dare to be as optimistic as Lu Qi, and said: "I heard that during the Battle of Pingyu, Xiang Yan, the eldest father of Xiang Kang's rebels, stayed awake for three days and three nights in order to pursue our Great Qin army, and he killed the Great Qin army by surprise. ”

"Dadada!"

"Kill!"

Chen Hui's crow mouth was very smart, before he finished speaking, there was already the sound of horses' hooves and shouting behind the Qin army, and a cavalry with the banner of the young marshal's army rushed straight over, Lu Qi was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the rear team to form a formation on the spot to intercept it, but the rear team of the Qin army, which was too tired, had not yet formed a battle formation, and the cavalry of the young marshal's army had already rushed to the front, and directly disrupted the queue of the rear team of the Qin army. At the same time, more banners of the young marshal army also appeared in the distance of the road to the north, obviously the main force had approached, Lu Qi and the Qin army panicked together, and used their strength to run for their lives, running away only hating their parents for giving birth to two legs.

No matter how desperate it is, it is useless, when there are still about ten miles away from Yexian, the main force of the young marshal army still managed to catch up with the main force of the Qin army, Lu Qi stubbornly commanded the army to fight in formation, and the young marshal army, who did not want to miss the fighter, decisively launched a strong attack, and wanted to defeat the main force of the Qin army in the field with red eyes.

At this time, the gap in combat effectiveness between the young marshal army and the Nanyang Qin army was also reflected, the same physical strength was seriously reduced, and it was also out of breath and exhausted, but the young marshal soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles were still unstoppable, and the offensive was fierce, but the Nanyang Qin army, which was born from bandits, was obviously not suitable for such a super-large-scale decisive battle, the right wing was quickly crushed by the young marshal army, and then the left wing was also torn apart by the powerful offensive of the young marshal army, and after the collapse of the two wings, it was psychologically affected, and the barely thick Qin army was also quickly loosened, was forcibly torn out of a gap by the young marshal soldiers, and then quickly collapsed.

The Qin army that collapsed on the whole line completely collapsed, the generals and soldiers lost their helmets and unloaded their armor, and fled all over the mountains, and Lu Qi was also forced to abandon the handsome banner and give up the command, so as not to become the target of the young marshal's army's key pursuit, but the young marshal army was still in hot pursuit, Leng directly pursued to the city of Yexian County, forcing the Qin army of Yexian County to close the city gate, and also completely smashed the opportunity for the Qin army to regroup under the city of Yexian County, Lü Qi had no choice but to take the remnants of the defeated army to cross Yexian County and continue to flee south, and was forced to abandon the important town of Yexian that could have been held for a long time.

After fleeing a distance south across Yexian, and looking back at the sturdy fortifications that the self-army had worked hard to build outside Yexian County, Lu Qi suddenly felt a burst of regret in his heart, and couldn't help but scream loudly: "Stealing chickens doesn't lead to rice!" Stealing chickens doesn't lead to rice! I knew that the old man shouldn't have coveted anything to annihilate the thief army, and he should have done his best to stick to Ye County! If he sticks to Ye County with all his might, even if the old man can't stop the thief army in the end, at least he can collapse the thief army's full mouth of teeth on the battlefield of Ye County! ”
