Thirty miles east of the county seat of Shanxi, the middle route army of Bactria had stopped marching and set up camp.

Liu Shuai, the general in the county town, already knew the intention of the enemy's slow march, and his heart was full of sorrow, and at that time, Bai Lin was defeated and killed, and the news of the Qin army's disastrous defeat spread to the county town of Shanxi, which made the already floating military spirit even more turbulent.

There are more troops than the other side, and they also use the terrain to defeat the Xia army, so they can't defeat the Xia army, what does this mean?

Could it be that Heaven is going to destroy the Qin State?

Liu Shuai sighed and focused his attention on Xia Jun. But the next move of Xia Jun made Liu Shuai feel uplifted.

Because the Xia army actually sent troops to attack Licheng and Kangcheng, it seemed that the intention was to cut off the side branches first, and then attack the county town of Shanxi.

At first, Liu Shuai was worried that it was the conspiracy of the Xia army, and deliberately divided his forces to lead him out of the city, once he led his troops out of the city, the other party would return to outflank him. But as time passed, the two Xia armies had already arrived at Licheng and Kangcheng and carried out a siege.

Liu Shuai sent a large number of scouts to investigate, proving that this was not a conspiracy of the Xia army, and the Xia army did not hide in ambush around.

This result made the generals in Shanxi County ready to move.

A lieutenant general said to Liu Shuai: "General, the emperor of Xia is humiliating us and others!" He thinks that we don't dare to attack out of the city, so we divide our forces to take Licheng and Cannes, which is really unreasonable! General, subordinates ask for orders, willing to lead troops out of the city to attack! ”

"Yes, General! Now that the Emperor of Xia has only more than 200,000 troops around him, it is a godsend! If you can defeat the imperial soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, it will definitely boost morale. Another person also suggested.

Liu Shuai was a little moved, but he still did not send troops because he was afraid that this was a conspiracy of the Xia army.

On the second day, Licheng and Kangcheng sent people to send urgent reports for help, although these two cities were garrisoned with 50,000 soldiers, in fact, they were 30,000 Qin soldiers, and 20,000 militia were forcibly recruited.

If Liu Shuai continued to retreat to Shanxi County and did not send troops to attack, or did not send troops to rescue, within two days, Licheng and Kangcheng would be broken and fall into the hands of the Xia army.

At this time, an adjutant general reminded Liu Shuai, "General, the emperor of Xia took advantage of the general's steady and cautious psychology, knowing that the general would defend the city, so he dared to send troops to attack Licheng and Kangcheng." Now the opportunity is rare, if not, the next thing is that we will be difficult. ”

Liu Shuai sighed, he naturally understood this truth, but he was still afraid that it was Xia Jun's trap. However, the adjutant general's words reminded Liu Shuai.

The longer the time drags on, the colder the weather will be, and the more unfavorable it will be for the Qin State, and now that there is an opportunity, it really can't be wasted. If you don't act for fear of failure, what if you succeed?

Thinking of this, Liu Shuai immediately arranged: "The generals obey the order and straighten out the soldiers and horses!" Tonight, I went out of the city from the west gate at the ugly time, and then the troops attacked the enemy camp in three ways! If we can annihilate the enemy army and capture the emperor of the Xia Kingdom alive, we are all heroes of Great Qin! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenants immediately responded with their fists clenched, and then immediately went down to reorganize their troops and horses.

Winter nights come early, and it's dark and deep.

After the time, there was silence between heaven and earth, and the west gate of the originally closed Shanxi county town was quietly opened, and a large number of Qin troops left the city.

Liu Shuai was very cautious, and chose to go out of the city from the West City Gate, and then wrapped cloth on the hooves of the war horses, isolating the sound, and the infantry also reduced the sound of stampede, and then chose to go around an arc, and the troops were divided into three roads, a total of 220,000 troops, and killed the Xia army camp from three directions, preparing for a sneak attack.

At the end of the day.

The three-way Qin army approached three miles away from the Xia army's camp, because they were worried that trampling on the ground would cause the other party to be alert, so the closer they got, the slower their speed became, in order to maximize the sneak attack on the other party and make the other party defenseless.

At this time, there was silence in the camp of the Xia army, only the soldiers on alert, walking back and forth to patrol, although Liu Shuai was worried that this was the conspiracy of the Xia army, but the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent, so he drew his sword, immediately beat the drum and blew the horn, and then began to rush and kill.

"Kill! Capture the Emperor of Xia alive! Make a difference! ”

The soldiers of the Qin State were very excited, and everyone wanted to capture Xiao Rui alive, this was definitely the military exploit of the marquis and the prime minister.

But when Liu Shuai rushed into the barracks, he found that he had been tricked.

It's not that there is no one in the barracks, of course there are people, it's just the summer army who has been waiting for a long time!

They seemed to have guessed that the Qin army would come to sneak attack, so they all stayed in the barracks in full gear, and at this time, in the face of the attacking Qin army, they began to counterattack.

And unlike the Qin army's chaotic invasion of the barracks, the twelve soldiers of Great Xia were one, six of them held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, forming a circle to protect their compatriots, and the remaining six people were two archers to assist in design, and the remaining four were armed with hook and sickle guns!

When encountering the cavalry of the Qin State, the hook and sickle spear cut the hooves of the opponent's war horse, and when they encountered the infantry of the Qin State, the circular formation defense, the spear attack, the quick knife to make up for the knife, the bow and arrow to make up for the leakage, the twelve people cooperated, and they were invincible.

And when the entire army is fighting like this, this is the nightmare of the Qin army. 19th Floor Literature

Liu Shuai fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he didn't expect to be hit, the other party had long expected that he would sneak attack! And it's just to take advantage of your cautious character!

"Damn! Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops! ”

Liu Shuai turned his horse's head and immediately ordered the herald Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and remind his lieutenant generals to retreat to Shanxi County. But Xia Jun waited all night and finally waited for the other party, how could he let the other party escape?

Fighting in the dark affected the line of sight, which also facilitated the rout and escape of the Qin army, but who was Han Xin?

Soldier Immortal also.

In the chaos of the battle between the two armies, the Xia army was not chaotic, they killed the enemy in a circle formation, and at the same time counter-encircled the Qin army, at the same time, a bonfire was lit in the open space outside the barracks, and they were like street lamps, designating the direction for the Xia army.

If you look down from the sky, there are a hundred and eight of these bonfires, lit up within a radius of ten miles, forming a circle, and drawing a defensive line with bright spots, immediately forming an intricate formation.

When the Qin army fled, they found that there was Xia Jun behind them, and no matter what direction they ran, they could run into Xia Jun, as if they had fallen into a maze.

Liu Shuai was taken aback and exclaimed, "Not good! This is the formation laid by the enemy! ”

"What kind of formation is this?" The adjutant who followed hurriedly asked.

Liu Shuai shook his head and said, "It's too dark to see!" They were guided by the campfires, put them out at once, and rush out with me! ”

is worthy of being a veteran of the Qin State, and immediately saw the shortcomings of Han Xin's formation.

However, Liu Shuai could see it, but the other two Qin troops couldn't see it, so at dawn, only Liu Shuai escaped with his troops, and the other two sneak attacking soldiers and horses were all trapped by Han Xin's formation and annihilated.

As for Liu Shuai, who escaped, Han Xin did not chase after him, because Han Xin had already left his back hand.

When Liu Shuai sneak attacked, the Xia army who went to Licheng and Kangcheng took advantage of the night to hurry up and rush back, so the fleeing Liu Shuai's soldiers and horses directly encountered the ambushed soldiers and horses.

In the end, there was no need to think about it, Liu Shuai died in battle, and the Qin army, which had escaped death, encountered the attack of the Xia army again, and he also died, and surrendered.

After the sky was completely bright, Han Xin reorganized his troops and horses and pressed them to the front of Shanxi County.

At this time, there were only a few generals left in the city, and the remaining troops were all forcibly recruited militia, and their combat effectiveness was weak, how to defend the city?

Han Xin returned Liu Shuai's body to the county seat of Shanxi, and let out the words, if you don't abandon the city and surrender, don't blame the Xia army for not being moral.

The remaining Qin generals couldn't stop the Xia army, and finally took advantage of the night to abandon the city and flee from the west gate, abandoning the people in the city.

At this point, Great Xia took the county seat of Shanxi at a very small cost.

And with the capture of Shanxi County, the entire Shanxi County fell into the hands of Great Xia, and there was no pressure.

At the same time, several other armies also made progress, marching together without suffering defeats.

This situation was transmitted back to Qin Capital, the civil and military ministers were silent, and Qin Zheng also sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

It would be nice if it was good news.

Qin Yu, the king of Xiang on the side, said: "Your Majesty, although the Xia army has won the victory, it is only temporary, our Great Qin has experienced countless ups and downs, and this time we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army." ”

"You're right! If even I feel sorry for myself, then Daqin is really hopeless. Qin Zheng put his attitude right, and then asked Qin Yu: "How is the matter of letting you contact Yuan Guo?" ”

Qin Yu said: "It's already related, but in order to show solemnity, I want to hurry up and go day and night, go to the Yuan country, personally meet the Khan of the Yuan country, and persuade him to attack from the north of Dongqi, once the Dongqi region falls into the hands of the Yuan country, it will be a disaster for the Xia army at that time!" And the situation of the Yuan State is not good, taking advantage of the fact that the heavy snow has not yet fallen, the Khan of the Yuan State wants to loot a wave in order to seize the materials for the winter. Now that the Yuan State only borders the Xia State, the Khan of the Yuan State has no choice but to make a move against the Xia State! ”

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend!" If the Yuan State can take the Dongqi region and control the three passes of the Qinling Mountains, then the Xia Emperor Xiao Rui will be trapped in the territory of Great Qin, and he will be a lamb to be slaughtered at that time. But..."

Speaking of this, Qin Zhengchi asked: "But the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom is in the east, and the Dongqi region is in the west, can you convince the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom?" ”

Qin Yu said: "I originally sent people to the Mongolian tribe, but now the Mongolian tribe is becoming stronger and more ambitious, so they are not willing to cooperate with us." So I sent someone to contact the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom and reached an intention. However, if we want the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom to attack from the Dongqi region, we have to pay a lot of price. As far as the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom is concerned, he is helping us by attacking the Dongqi region! ”

"No problem, I will work hard for you to go in person, agree to the Khan's request, and let him send troops as soon as possible!" Qin Zheng didn't care about the price or the price, as long as he could destroy the Xia Kingdom, everything would be worth it.

Now Qin Zheng's hatred for Xiao Rui, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, can no longer be described in words.
