Chapter 469: Hearty

It's time to take a look at the situation on the side of the Qi coalition army, we must send troops to rescue the Chuji coalition army as soon as possible, and it is too late to thoroughly digest the manpower and material resources of the Qi country, the two rebels who are not strong enough Tian Heng and Tian Wang, of course, rushed to the Licheng battlefield directly to participate in the battle, and chose a safe strategy of marching forty miles a day, and cautiously came over to help the Chuji coalition army.

In addition, the two rebels also made an early appointment to take turns to act as the vanguard every day, the front army encountered the Han army to intercept and take a defensive position, and the rear army reinforced, at any cost, and learned the lessons of the Qi army on the battlefield of Zhaodi, Tian Heng and Tian Wang also swore to their common ancestor Tian Chengzi together, swearing that they would never contact the Han army alone, and send their cronies to each other's Chinese army commanders to supervise and monitor, and not give the Han army a chance to buy or rebel against either side.

Not to mention, although it was forced to do so, but Tian Heng and Tian Wang's two rebels also showed enough sincerity to work together, and implemented the agreement without any discount, on the fourth day after leaving Linzi, the scouts had just found out the news that the Han army's partial division took the initiative to usher in, and on this day, the Tian Heng rebels, who were responsible for serving as the vanguard, immediately stopped advancing, and seized the time to set up a camp to prepare to hold on, and the Tian Wang rebels also immediately rushed to reinforcements, without giving the Han army's partial division Zhu Jishi's department a chance to break them all.

After the smooth rendezvous, Tian Wang of course learned about the situation of the Han army's partial division at the first time, and then learned that the Han army's partial division that took the initiative to meet was only about 50,000, Tian Wang also breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with great joy: "Fortunately, the troops are not as good as ours, and we are sure to deal with it." ”

"King Jiaodong, don't be too happy too early." Tian Heng, who self-styled Qi Xiang, said: "Not to mention that the Han thieves sent to meet us must be the elite army, and the Han thief general Zhu Jishi who commanded the army is not a good character to deal with, as far as I know, this thief will not only have seniority than the Han thief's northern line general Zhou Shu's qualifications, but also very good at fighting tough battles, when he was on the battlefield in Hanoi, he used the strength of an army to carry the two armies of the Western Chu Army and the main force of the southern front of Zhao State, and he is definitely not a good person, if we underestimate the enemy, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss." ”

Tian Wang nodded, and then asked, "Qi Xiang, then in your opinion, how should we deal with the bias of the Han thief?" ”

"The Han thieves divide their troops to meet the battle, and they definitely hope to fight a quick battle and defeat us or drive us away as soon as possible." Tian Heng replied: "So I think we should seize the time to set up a strong camp, take a defensive position in the deep ditch and high fortress, and force the Han thieves to send troops to attack the fortifications, and when the Han thieves can't attack for a long time, we will find a way to counterattack and break the enemy." ”

"That's a good idea, but we're afraid we're too late?" Tian Wang frowned and said: "The terrain in this area is open, there is no danger to defend, and the trees are very scarce, it is difficult to establish a strong camp in a short time, if the thieves don't give us the opportunity to set up camp, we will attack immediately, how can we be good?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Tian Heng said: "The thieves take the initiative to usher, the physical strength of the soldiers will definitely drop a lot, if they really attack as soon as they come here, we will fight in formation, the first to be attacked with all their strength to take the defensive, the other side is responsible for covering and rescue, it is definitely not difficult to block the attack of the thieves, and then as long as the thieves do not attack well and take the initiative to retreat, we will have time to establish a camp to hold on." ”

As soon as Tian Wang heard the applause, he immediately agreed with Tian Heng on the specific details of mutual cover and rescue, and then asked his army to prepare for battle while seizing the time to set up a camp.

Nearly an hour later, before half of the afternoon of the same day, the Han army's partial division that came in a hurry really rushed directly to the vicinity of the camp that the Qi coalition army was rushing to build, and put on a posture of a direct decisive battle with the Qi coalition army.

On the side of the Han army, seeing that the Qi coalition army was standing side by side in battle formations, and was fully prepared, several middle-level generals of the Han army, for the sake of prudence, suggested that Zhu Jishi let the army retreat temporarily, first set up a camp to rest for a night, and then launch a decisive battle after the Han soldiers who came from afar recovered their strength, but Zhu Jishi shook his head categorically and said: "We can't waste time, if we don't seize this opportunity to fight a decisive battle immediately, the Qi thief army will definitely seize the time to build a camp, and when we send troops again tomorrow, we will face the problem of attacking fortifications." ”

After that, Zhu Jishi decisively ordered the soldiers of the Han army to set up a formation and fight this decisive battle with an offensive mixed battle formation with infantry and cavalry, and let the chariot soldiers who were gradually facing elimination but still have a certain role in the battle formation take the front, and put on a posture of attacking the enemy formation at any cost, during which he seized the time to check the enemy's military formation and look for the first target.

After all, it is a veteran of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and after quickly observing the enemy's situation, Zhu Jishi soon found that the battle formation of the Tian Heng rebels was relatively stricter, and the difficulty of the frontal impact was obviously greater, and although the battle formation of the Tian Wang rebels looked good, it was obviously inferior in terms of momentum, plus considering that the Tian Heng rebels were formed by Tian Heng himself, the cohesion was relatively strong, and the Tian Wang rebels were formed with the army assigned to Tian Wang by Tian Jiao as the backbone, and there must be many people in the army who were still missing the old master Tian Jiao, may not really be willing to die for Tian Wang. Zhu Jishi decisively pointed at the Tianwang rebels and said: "First break the Tianwang puppet, defeat the arrogance of the thief army, and then clean up the Tianheng puppet!" ”

is also a veteran of the battlefield, just saw the Han army's chariots lined up in front of the battle formation of the own army, Tian Wang immediately understood that the Han army was going to attack him first, and secretly hated, Tian Wang did not dare to slack off, and let his Chinese army team establish a number of infantry formations that were conducive to defense early, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Han thief, come on!" ”

"The drums are beaten, the chariots charge, the infantry follows, and the way is opened for our rear army! Target, Tian Wang's head! ”

After Zhu Jishi gave the order very simply, the war drums in the Han army flag formation immediately sounded, and the Han army chariot soldiers composed of more than 80 chariots immediately trotted forward, gradually accelerating towards the enemy formation, followed by 5,000 Han army infantry quickly followed, and the Han army battle formation immediately sounded a neat shout and cheer, "Wind!" Wind! Wind! Wind! ”

The gradually accelerating Han army chariots soon turned into a charge, rushing at full speed towards the Chinese position of the Tian Wang rebels, and then just entered the firing range, countless feather arrows have been overwhelming, the Han army chariots are constantly hit by arrows, muffled sound one after another, and from time to time there are cases where the chariot soldiers are killed by arrows, but the charging momentum of the Han army chariots has hardly slowed down, and it is still like a sharp knife, directly hitting the dense horizontal team of the Tian Wang rebels.

The sound of people shouting and neighing horses then rushed to the sky, and the heavy and sturdy chariot hit the soldiers of the Tianwang rebels one after another under the pull of the horses, and the huge impact force knocked down many rebel soldiers directly, and the horse's hooves stepped on the body of the fallen rebel soldiers, and the wheels crushed the bones of the rebel soldiers, and the screams were endless. And the rebel soldiers were not to be outdone, constantly stabbing the bodies of the Han soldiers and war horses with spears, and dragging down the Han army chariot soldiers who fell into the enemy group with their wars, blood splashed, and the dense horizontal team of the Tianwang rebels was also in chaos.

Then, when the elite infantry of the 3,000 Han army rushed into the enemy group, a more tragic fierce battle also unfolded, the soldiers on both sides exchanged knives and spears, stabbed and slashed endlessly, shields smashed the human body, axes split the head, and the primitive grenades exploded one after another, and the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of gold and iron colliding into one, straight into the sky.

Tian Wang was dumbfounded, although his army also performed quite well, but still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Han army, the front row of horizontal teams broke up one after another, and the soldiers retreated one after another, all relying on the defensive circle formation he had formed in advance to barely block the Han army's attack, but it still couldn't stop the Han infantry from constantly advancing and infiltrating into the depths of his Chinese position, but in a moment, the Han infantry had advanced to the hinterland of his Chinese position.

"Overseer, up! Those who dare to retreat will be killed! ”

In desperation, Tian Wang could only hurriedly dispatch the supervising team to step forward, and forced the retreating self-sergeants to step forward to meet the enemy with iron knives and axes, but as predicted by Zhu Jishi, there were indeed many Qi soldiers who did not want to be cannon fodder for Tian Wang, so no matter how Tian Wang's squad cut and persecuted, the scattered rebel soldiers still could not form an effective counterattack.

At this time, Zhu Jishi had decisively sent 5,000 troops to the front, following the front army to attack the Chinese army position of Tian Wang's rebels. The rear team of the Han army was fearless, insisted on attacking forward, and only stopped to meet the battle when the soldiers on the two wings of the Tianwang rebels were close to the front, and they fought extremely tenaciously and resolutely, without falling behind at all.

Even more so that Tian Wang's soul was still behind, his two wings of the army had just barely entangled the rear of the Han army, Zhu Jishi was extremely decisive and dispatched another 10,000 troops, charged up and continued to storm his Chinese position, Tian Wang saw the roar, roared: "Han thief!" It's too much of a deception! The widow doesn't believe it, you can really directly break the king's battle formation from the front! ”

The cruel fact quickly swollen Tian Wang's little face, after the third formation of the Han army stepped forward to catch his two wings, the second formation of the Han army immediately freed up his hands to reinforce the front team, and continued to rush the middle army formation of the Tian Wang rebels with red eyes, and also relied on the reinforced troops, and successively killed the two thousand-level circular formations of the Tian Wang rebels, the rebel soldiers cried and shouted and fled in all directions, and the first and second teams of the Han army quickly converged into one unit, and always charged towards Tian Wang's banner array.

Seeing this scene, Tian Wang had no choice but to quickly send someone to ask for help from the Tian Heng rebels in the north on the right, Tian Heng replied very directly, and said: "Go and tell the king of Jiaodong, ask him to hold on for a while, as long as the Han thief sends an army forward, I will immediately send troops to reinforce!" ”

Zhu Jishi did not let Tian Wang wait too long, just saw that the third formation of the Han army had the upper hand, and suppressed the two wings of the Tian Wang rebels in terms of momentum, Zhu Jishi once again decisively dispatched 10,000 troops, with 30,000 troops to storm the position of the Tian Wang rebels, leaving only 20,000 reserves to guard against the Tian Heng rebels, and also ordered the flag array to step up the drums, urging the front-line army to attack with all their might at any cost.

Tian Heng also fulfilled his promise, and after seeing that the Han army really increased its troops to attack the battle formation of the Tianwang rebels, Tian Heng immediately dispatched 5,000 troops south to reinforce the Tianwang rebels, and before the third formation of the Han army drew forward, the queue blocked the road of the third formation of the Han army to reinforce the first two formations, so as to buy time for the Tianwang rebels.

The reinforcement of the Tian Heng rebel army did play a certain role, so that the third formation of the Han army could not move forward as soon as possible to replenish the troops, but the performance of the two wings of the Tian Wang rebel army made Tian Wang and Tian Heng scold together, and was shocked by the fourth formation of the Han army for only a moment, the soldiers on the left flank were quickly dispersed, and the right wing army was also constantly defeated, and there were countless soldiers who fled out of the formation, and even the reinforcements sent by Tian Heng were also greatly affected in terms of military morale, and quickly showed defeat.

The shameless betrayal of Tian Wang was indeed unpopular, and after a period of time, his right-wing soldiers also quickly dispersed, and the third and fourth formations of the Han army took the opportunity to join forces to kill the five thousand infantry sent by Tian Heng to reinforce them, and then rushed to the camp of the Tian Wang rebel army that had been chaotic like a tide, Tian Wang was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to Tian Heng for help again, but Tian Heng no longer paid attention to it this time, and just said with a black face: "Go back and tell the king of Jiaodong, tell him to defend with all his might, and wait for the Han thief to send the rear army forward, I will immediately storm the Han thief banner formation!" ”

The reply was brought back to Tian Wang by the messenger, and Tian Wang quickly understood what Tian Heng meant, knowing that Tian Heng wanted to use his own army as a bait to force the Han army, which had only 20,000 reserves left, to continue to increase his defensive position, creating an opportunity for Tian Heng's rebels to take the opportunity to attack the Han army's flag array. While secretly scolding Tian Heng for being shameless, Tian Wang, who had no way out, had no choice but to force his army to continue to fight to the death and create opportunities for Tian Heng's side.

No, it is not popular, and there are many old departments of Tian private who have fought side by side with the Han army on the battlefield of Jishui, these people were forced by Tian Wang's obscenity and did not dare to act rashly, which will be the disadvantage of the Tian Wang rebels, of course, these old departments of Tian private will not miss the opportunity to get out and even avenge Tian private, in addition to taking the opportunity to escape, there are also people who directly shouted slogans to shake the military heart of Tian Wang's rebels......

"Lost! We lost! Run! If you don't run, it's too late! ”

These shouts that shook the hearts of the army soon played a huge role, so that countless Tian Wang rebel soldiers panicked in their hearts, and fled faster, the Han army soldiers took the opportunity to step up the attack, and successively broke through a number of Tian Wang rebel circle formations, and gradually rushed to the vicinity of the flag array of Tian Wang rebels, Tian Wang saw that the situation was extreme, and he did not dare to choose in order to survive, so he could only hurriedly get on his horse, and even the golden cymbal did not have time to ring and fled directly to the road where he came, and when his flag array collapsed, the remaining rebel round formation quickly collapsed, and the generals and soldiers fled in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Tian Heng immediately understood that it was time for him to be unlucky next, but fortunately, it was close to unitary time at this time, and it was not early, so Tian Heng was not very panicked in his heart, and said to the rebel general next to him with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the thieves' chariots have run out, and there is no way to directly break our front team, and we will score troops to chase and kill Tian Wang's rebels, we can't concentrate our forces, as long as we hold on until it's dark, we will definitely be able to hold a draw." ”

Let Tian Heng's ecstasy still be behind, after seeing the complete rout of Tian Wang's rebels, Zhu Jishi not only did not take back the army that participated in the battle to reorganize the team, but let the front-line army chase and kill Tian Wang's rebels with all his might, but also sent the four thousand cavalry in the rear to join the pursuit, Tian Heng saw it and cheered, "Okay!" It seems that the target of the thief today is only Tian Wang's puppet, and he will not come to fight us again! ”

Before the words fell, Tian Heng was immediately dumbfounded, because he suddenly saw that Zhu Jishi had directly disbanded the Han army's flag array, carried his own banner directly into the Han army's ranks, and led the remaining 16,000 Han troops directly towards his battle formation. With such a small number of troops, you also want to directly break our battle formation? ”

Screaming and screaming, the enemy has been killed directly, Tian Heng has no choice, he can only immediately order the army under his command to stand firm, prepare bows and arrows, and prepare to meet Zhu Jishi's personal army impact, during which out of confidence in the cohesion and combat effectiveness of his army, Tian Heng also gritted his teeth and said: "Han thief, come on, see if your army can impulse our position!" ”

At this time, the Han army suddenly made two formations on the way forward, and the ordinary infantry took the initiative to slow down, and two thousand Han infantry wearing strange black armor strode forward and walked to the forefront of the Han army. As a result, because the sun had just begun to set and there was still plenty of opportunity for light, many soldiers in the Tianheng rebel army had already screamed, "Oh my God! Heavy armor! The heavy armor of the Han army! How can there be so many? How else are we going to fight? ”

"What is a Heavy Soldier?"

Of course, the countless Tian Heng rebel army buns asked curiously, and those Tian Heng rebel soldiers who were forcibly incorporated by Tian Heng's rebels immediately replied: "It is the absolute elite under the command of the Han King!" All of them are wearing invulnerable armor, and they can't be killed on the battlefield at all! The weapons they have can't stop them with any armor! I've seen it before on the Jishui battlefield! However, at that time, the Han army only had 500 heavy armored soldiers, how could there be so many at once today? ”

According to the military law, several soldiers of the old Tian private army who shouted such words were immediately cut down by the generals of the Tian Heng rebel army, and after cutting down these soldiers who confused the army, the generals of the Tian Heng rebel army also shouted angrily: "Don't listen to the nonsense of these puppets! Is there invulnerable armor in the world? Haven't you seen bronze armor and stone armor, which are so powerful? ”

It was only after the two thousand Han army heavy armor soldiers rushed into the range of the Tian Heng rebels' bow and crossbow that the Tian Heng rebels' soil buns were stunned to see that the dense feather arrows they shot could not penetrate the steel armor on the Han army's heavy armor soldiers......

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with my son! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor, and walk with my son! ”

"Kill!" This is the neat shout of the heavy armor soldiers of the Han army rushing to the front of the Tianheng rebel army.

"Run!" This was the panicked shout of countless old Qi soldiers scrambling to be the first.

On that day, the 50,000 Han army broke the 70,000 Qi allied army, successively defeated the tight battle formation of the two rebels Tian Wang and Tian Heng, beheaded more than 20,000, captured more than 10,000 prisoners, captured almost all the grain and grass of the Qi allied army, and also cut off the head of the shameless traitor Tian Wang of the Qi army in the pursuit battle, and achieved a hearty field victory. The rebel soldiers fled countless times, although Tian Heng was lucky enough to escape back to Linzi to temporarily save his life, but he was no longer able to reorganize the army to move westward, and rescued the Chuji coalition army that was heavily surrounded by the Han army in Jinjiling.
