November 14, 387 AH.

Liu Wei stared at the soldier under the tent in front of him.

"You mean all the defenders of the city have withdrawn?"

"Yes, General, and I can still hear a noise in the city, it must be the people who are moving." The soldier replied in the affirmative.

Liu Wei nodded and was silent for a while, it seemed that the Zhongshan army was preparing to fight to the death, and even the defenders at the head of the city were assembled.

The adjutant general on the side saw Liu Wei bowing his head and was silent, and couldn't help but speak: "General, Shoucheng's move must be planning to fight to the death, don't we gather troops as soon as possible to prepare for the war?" ”

Liu Wei raised his head and glanced at the deputy general dissatisfied, the deputy general hurriedly lowered his head, and then Liu Wei spoke: "As General Bai expected in the letter, the Zhongshan army chose to take advantage of the night to have a decisive battle with our army today. Tell me the order to go down and gather all the soldiers, leaving only 3,000 men in the village to guard the grain and grass. ”

"Yes." The officers in the village all responded.

Soon, the heavy sound of horses' hooves resounded outside the village, and finally it slowly quieted down, and only the occasional low neighing of some war horses could be heard.

Liu Wei walked out of the camp, turned over and stepped on the war horse that had been prepared for him outside the village, and took the spear.

"Soldiers, the siege of the city for two months, today is the period of decisive battle, can you be confident that the victory will be determined by Liu?" Liu Wei shouted on horseback.

"Fight to the death with the general!"

"Fight to the death with the general!"

"Fight to the death with the general!"

Forty-seven thousand well-trained black-armored cavalry let out a heavy roar in response to Liu Wei.

......

The journey of thirty miles was only a matter of necessity for the Qin army's iron cavalry.

Soon, they arrived outside the gate of Shoucheng.

Liu Wei waited quietly on the horse for the city gate to open.

With a heavy sound, the city gate slowly opened, but to Liu Wei's surprise, the Shoucheng as far as the eye could see was as quiet as no one, and no soldiers or generals came out of the city gate, only two soldiers who had just opened the city gate ran towards the city in a hurry.

"General, there must be an ambush in the city, don't move lightly." A general spoke.

Liu Wei nodded, there must be a demon when things go wrong, he is not a fool, he can't be fooled so easily, and he doesn't know what Zhongshan Jun is thinking, such a clumsy method is used.

So the Qin army also stopped, and the 47,000 iron horsemen looked at Shoucheng with the city gate wide open.

"Report!" A soldier rode quickly in front of Liu Wei, dismounted and knelt down.

"What's the matter?" Liu Wei asked nonchalantly.

"Some soldiers saw thousands of cavalry rushing out of the south gate, and the people in the center were exactly the same as Zhongshan Bo's clothes!"

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Are you sure it's Uncle Zhongshan?" Are there no other courtiers included? ”

"Report to the general, it is true that there are many people in official uniforms, as for whether it is Zhongshan Bo, they can only recognize the clothes if they are too far away."

"What about the number of cavalry, how many are there?"

"Five or six thousand rides."

Liu Wei laughed loudly, and then said to the generals around him with certainty: "The cavalry in Shoucheng is only five or six thousand horses, and they actually poured out of the nest from the south gate, it must be that Uncle Zhongshan knew that the city was difficult to defend for a long time, and fled to other countries for help!" It seems that the silence in the city is just to cover the retreat of Uncle Zhongshan, and pass my order to enter the city. ”

"But general, doesn't that mean there is no ambush in the city?" The adjutant general spoke.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhongshan abandoned the city with his courtiers and fled, at this moment the army will inevitably have a group of dragons and leaderless troops to disperse, even if there is an ambush, what is there to fear, presumably at this moment the Zhongshan army has begun to mutiny!" Liu Wei said confidently.

With an order, more than 40,000 cavalry rushed towards Shoucheng.

......

At this moment, in the northern city of Shoucheng, General Wang was trying to hold his breath and quietly observe the Qin soldiers who had walked into the street.

He waited for two hours from the beginning of sunset, but there was no movement outside the city. For a long time, he was suspicious of Chen Ziyou's plan. Qin Jun is not a fool, such an obvious ambush, can't he see it?

And Qin Jun was just as he thought, waiting quietly outside the city, without the slightest sign of entering the city.

So much so that after waiting for a long time, some soldiers began to whisper.

"General, will the Qin army come in?" One soldier couldn't help but ask.

General Wang smacked his skull hard, "Shut up and wait quietly." Let the chief of each house restrain the people under his hands, and do not make a sound, or I will cut off his head!" ”

Fortunately, soon the Qin army began to move, and galloped towards the city at a slow speed.

General Wang carefully counted the number of Qin troops passing by, and when he estimated that the Qin army had all entered the city, he finally pushed open the doors and windows in front of him and shouted loudly: "Release the arrows!" ”

......

Liu Wei walked in the center of the army without fear, as he thought, there were no people in the city but there was no ambush, seeing that the soldiers had already entered the city, he finally couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

But suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

There was no basis for this aberration, and he looked around at the houses, but he did not see a single ambush. But something was wrong, Liu Wei had been fighting for many years, and his sensitivity to danger helped him escape death many times.

"Stop, stop! Keep an eye on your surroundings! Liu Wei reined in the horse's head and shouted loudly.

But it was too late, when Liu Wei saw a figure flashing in front of the window, he saw that the doors and windows of the surrounding houses were instantly opened, and thousands of arrows roared towards the unobstructed Qin soldiers.

The Qin soldiers were all on the streets, unobstructed, and they were not on guard, and they saw thousands of arrows rushing towards them for a while, and they couldn't dodge, but in an instant, nearly 10,000 people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.

Liu Wei knew that the street battle was not good for the cavalry, so he swept down a few arrows that flew to his side with a wave of his spear, and returned to his horse and shouted: "The rear army becomes the front army, retreat quickly!" ”

Although the incident happened suddenly and the response was unfavorable, Liu Wei was convinced that his cavalry was well-trained, and as long as the panic state at the beginning was over, with the action of the Qin State Iron Cavalry, they would definitely be able to quickly withdraw from the city and stop the loss in time.

Sure enough, the next few rounds of arrow rain failed to cause major damage after the Qin army reacted, and the battle-hardened cavalry began to turn their horses' heads in an orderly manner after receiving the order.

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly patted the horse's back, and trotted towards the north gate.

But at this moment, things changed.

Nearly a hundred tripwires were suddenly pulled up on both sides of the street, and the cavalry who were trotting out of the city were suddenly tripped unexpectedly, and the cavalry who followed closely behind hurriedly reined in their horses but still stepped on them.

Under the night, the dim Shoucheng was originally lit by only the torches in the hands of the Qin soldiers, and if you don't look closely, you can't see the hidden tripwires in the night, from the fall of the first cavalry to the lack of dodge of the cavalry behind, it only happened in an instant.

The sparks falling from the torches set fire to the streets of Beicheng District, and the sound of weapons and horses falling made every Qin soldier panic. All of a sudden, the Qin army trampled on each other, killing and wounding countless people.

Liu Wei's face finally showed a panicked look, he has been in the army for many years, he has been following Bai Lang around, invincible, and has never encountered today's situation, he can only pretend to be calm and continue to shout: "Don't panic, slowly get out of the city!" ”

But this shout could not be heard ten meters away in the noisy Beicheng District at this moment, and Liu Wei saw tens of thousands of iron horsemen fleeing in such a panic, ignoring the fallen horses and corpses under the horses' hooves.

"General, run away!" The adjutant general said in a panic.

Liu Wei saw that the general trend had gone, so he could only helplessly pat the horse's back vigorously and quickly run towards the city gate.

......

Seeing that the Qin army had suffered heavy casualties, General Wang fled to the city gate, and shouted: "Pull out the long knife at your waist and follow me to pursue the Qin army!" ”

The morale of the more than 15,000 archers was high, they dropped the bows and arrows in their hands, drew the long knives at their waists, and rushed towards the fleeing Qin army with a roar.
