Chapter 22 To be alive is to win

The Wei army was defeated and retreated, and this battle, finally before nightfall, the Qin army finally won.

Under the gray sky, the corpses of the Qin and Wei armies were everywhere. The broken chariot, the still burning flag, the horses still screaming in the corpse, Wei Kai saw all this, and there was no joy at all the success of the plan. In that place, which had already been dyed red by the blood of both sides, and the corpses and severed limbs were all over the place, blaspheming the brave warriors who were still fighting here and sacrificing their lives for the country, Wei Kai really couldn't do it.

"I killed eighteen people today", Xiong who appeared at some point looked at Wei Kai and said.

"Really?" , Wei replied without looking back.

Maybe Wei Kai's answer did not satisfy Xiong. Xiong took a deep look at Wei Kai and said, "I will catch up with you sooner or later."

Looking at the bear in the distance, Wei Kai smiled bitterly. For Wei Kai, this war has long been over, of course, this is only Wei Kai's own opinion.

Obviously, there are things that are not what people think. The war is over, but the hatred remains. Looking at the Wei soldiers who had just supported themselves to stand up in the distance, they raised their swords and shouted at Wei Kai: "Qin Dog, come and die", Wei Kai didn't have the courage to scold back. As for the back, when he was killed by the Qin army that followed, Wei Kai didn't stop it, just looked at everything coldly, there was nothing wrong here, and there was nothing to praise. This massacre finally stopped after Wei Kai raised the sword in his hand and said, "Those who descend will not be killed".

However, for the state of Qin, or for the state of Wei, it was finally over.

As the victor, the Qin people finally started the carnival after licking their own wounds. After all, the fight of hundreds of thousands of people, and only good wine and food can allow the surviving to temporarily recuperate from the daytime battle and live.

However, Wei Kai is very busy now, busy managing the injured soldiers.

Qin Jun was injured during the day, and he was still alive to be a soldier, and when Wei Kai found out, he arranged all of them in a hospital-like place. However, there are no advanced military doctors now, only a few medical officers simply handle wounded soldiers. Of course, this is still the result of Wei Kai's strong request, after all, the Qin State has not changed the law yet, the concept of clan hierarchy is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most of the soldiers are slaves, without merit and reward.

Wei Kai also didn't know how to heal, so he could only divide the injured soldiers into several grades according to the severity of their injuries, and then adopt corresponding measures respectively. Then ordered the healer to pay attention to disinfection when dealing with the wound, looking at the clothes that were boiling in the pot in the distance, Wei Kai couldn't help but feel worried about the wounded soldiers. For those seriously injured, after Wei Kai simply stopped bleeding and bandaged, he could only hope for their tenacious vitality.

The two countries were at war, and even two people who did not have much connection with each other were under the jurisdiction of the commander, obeyed the orders of their respective commanders, and then began to fight. No one cares if the person he killed just now has an elderly mother, a wife who has not passed through the door, or if he was just an adult yesterday, and of course no one will expect him to survive the battlefield completely. However, to be alive is a real victory.

Wei Kai, who was disgusted with everything in this world, was now gradually feeling ashamed. In particular, when Wei Kai left the "hospital", those wounded and sick people were sincerely grateful, and Wei Kai finally understood the profound meaning of the sentence "The old Qin people are too bitter", and slightly understood the glory that Uncle Wei had always been worried about.

However, there is another person who is as sad as Wei Kai now, that is, Gongsun Yan who is standing on Shaoliang City and looking at the Qin army camp in the distance. Having lost the camp outside the city, Gongsun Acne was not saddened. When Gongzi led his army to escape, he had already decided today's defeat. But the most important thing now is that the morale of the Wei army in Shaoliang City has been shaken, which is what Gongsun Acne is most anxious about.

During the day, Wei Kai allowed the Qin army to wantonly slaughter the Wei army outside Shaoliang City, not that Wei Kai's hatred for the Wei State was vented on these poor soldiers. Wei Kai wanted to use the tragic death of the Wei army outside the city to shake the morale of the Wei army inside the city. Hatred can make people fight back, but too much killing brings hatred as well as fear.

Wei Kai, who has experienced two lifetimes, understands that to truly defeat an army, it is not only necessary to kill its soldiers, but also to destroy its military spirit. The reason why the Wei army has been rampant in the countries for more than 100 years is because it has never been defeated, and the Wei army is invincible in the world, so it is deeply engraved in the hearts of every Wei people, and even developed into a kind of glory and an immortal military soul.

Wei Kai also clearly remembered that this was also the reason why the Qin State was invincible in the world in the previous life, and the historical records recorded: "The Six Kingdoms tasted ten times the land, millions of people, knocked on the pass and attacked Qin." The Qin people switched and extended the enemy, and the division of the Nine Kingdoms did not dare to enter the army." After all, weakness does not mean incompetence, and fear will eventually lead to destruction.

It's a pity that today, although Gongsun Acne withdrew into Shaoliang City in time, he saved the Hexi Wei army. But today's defeat was a foregone conclusion, and the entire Hexi army was ashamed. What's even more terrifying is that Wei Kai deliberately did not pursue and kill Gongzi's subordinates, allowing a large number of remnants of Gongzi's subordinates to flee into Shaoliang City, causing disputes between the Wei army in Shaoliang City now.

Once people make mistakes, they often don't take the initiative to look for problems from themselves, but once they find other people's mistakes, they will hold on to them. The remnants of Gongzi Wei have now naturally become a thorn in the side of the Wei army in Shaoliang City, a thorn in the flesh.

Fights often start from a small thing. Although the remnants of Gongzi Wei caused Gongsun Acne to fail today, after all, after experiencing the escape from the tiger's mouth during the day, and now they are also ridiculed and even insulted by other Wei troops, and they are also very tired. While receiving food, a small push and shove finally caused a big war within the Wei army.

What Gongsun Acne has been avoiding in his heart still happened between the Wei army in Shaoliang City. By the time Gongsun arrived arrived, there had already been a large-scale brawl between the two sides. There is a limit to human endurance, and watching one soldier throw another soldier to the ground and beat him desperately, Gongsun knew that his army was on the verge of collapse, and the humiliation of the day was being vented on his comrades. Without any explanation, when the heads of the twenty-five soldiers who fought first were hung on the bamboo poles at once, the restless Wei army finally quieted down, but Gongsun Acne's heart was like a knife. The glory of the warriors was gradually tarnished in their own hands.

After Gongsun acne came back, he sat in his handsome seat and did not move for a long time. Wei Ying was on the side, and after watching the black slave next to him make many gestures, he got up and said, "Teacher, our army is not without a chance of winning now."

After hearing this, Gongsun Acne had a slight brilliance in his eyes, and when he saw the kneeling person in the hall, he said, "Oh, Wei Ying."

Wei Ying said: "Teacher, now our army only needs to shrink its strength and strictly defend Shaoliang City. Although our army lost the camp outside the city, it was unable to take a strong offensive against the Qin army outside the city. But after all, Shaoliang City is a hundred-year-old city, and the city is high and full of food, as long as we repair and recover our vitality, we will be able to turn defeat into victory."

When Gongsun Acne heard this, he said, "Martingale, is there a way to break the enemy? ”

Wei Ying said: "Although our army was defeated during the day, this was due to the fact that Gongzi Wei escaped from the battle. The fighting spirit of the soldiers of our army headquarters is not lost, on the contrary, everyone seeks to fight, and they are brave after being ashamed, which is also one of them; Shaoliang City is fortified, the Qin army lacks a long-range attack, lacks powerful siege equipment, on the contrary, our army occupies a favorable position, and with our army's sophisticated weapons, our army will be solid, and this is the second also; The Qin state was poor, and the Wei state was rich. As long as we hold on, the Qin army cannot be broken, and when the Qin army is tired and the food is exhausted, our army will be able to break the Qin army with leisure and hard work, and this is the third one. With these three points, my Wei army will win, and the Qin army will be defeated."

After hearing this, Gongsun said with a tired face: "Ke", and then asked the black slave to pass the military order, mobilize the soldiers, and prepare to defend Shaoliang.

Gongsun Yan opened his eyes, looked at Wei Ying, who had not left, and said, "Martingale, what else is going on?" ”

Wei Ying looked at Gongsun Acne, thought about it, and didn't speak. Gongsun Yan looked at Wei Ying, who wanted to speak again and again, and said with a rare smile: "Where is Wei Ying, who usually dares to be angry and dare to speak?" Hahaha"

After hearing this, Wei Ying said: "Teacher, the students don't understand that our army is so anxious to engage the Qin army. The Qin army ran for a long time, our army waited for work, and there were cities to block the Qin army. At that time, the counties in Hexi, the strong walls and clear fields, will attack and disturb the grain roads of the Qin army, and the Qin army will definitely be trapped and killed by our army in various parts of Hexi. In the long run, the Qin army's surprise battle will be involved by our army and turn into a tug-of-war. The Qin army is weak, the Wei army is strong, and the Qin army will collapse without a fight."

After hearing this, Gongsun was silent for a while. looked at Wei Ying and said: "Wei Ying, the Qin State in the west, has been silent for nearly a hundred years, do you know why almost the whole country came to attack my Hexi this time?" ”

After hearing this, Wei Ying: "Because the main force of our army is trapped in Xinzheng, the Qin army takes advantage of the momentum of Zhao and Han. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Acne stood up, walked to the window, looked at the dark night outside and said: "Pang Juan is trapped in Xinzheng, although the Zhao and Han armies are currently besieging but not attacking, do you know that the Qi State is about to send troops?" ”

When Wei Ying heard this, he said, "Qi State? ”

Gongsun said, "My king is very worried. If I win a big victory in Hexi, the Qi State will definitely not send troops. If the Qi country is timid, then the two kingdoms of Zhao and Han, which were originally filthy, will be self-defeating, and the siege of Pang Juan can be solved. It's just a pity .........".

For a while, Gongsun Acne and Wei Ying didn't speak, and it gradually rained outside the window.

Anyi, the news of the defeat in Hexi finally came, and Wei Ting was shocked. After all, if the city of Shaoliang is broken, the Qin army can cross the river and go down to attack Anyi.

Anyi, which has not been in war for a hundred years, is suddenly in danger.
