Chapter 57: The Battle of Qin and Shu (1)

Chu water was originally called Shu Shui, when Qin Mugong defeated Shu Wang Yu Yan clan, after obtaining the current Qin State of Pingnan region, turned Shu into Qin land, ambitious, high-spirited, then changed Shu water to Chu water.

After all, at that time, the Qin State expanded its territory to the south and the north, and the Qin State became a hegemon in the west from a small country in the west, and the national strength of the Qin State was very strong.

And the reason why it was changed to Chu Shui, instead of being named after the symbol of Qin, and by the way eliminating the influence of Shu, was because the strongest country in the Central Plains at that time was Chu State.

In order to motivate himself, Mu Gong also exhorted his ministers to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to be conscientious, so as to make the Qin State further powerful. Chu Shui means that Qin has the will to capture Chu and plot to dominate the Central Plains.

It's a pity that after Mu Gong, the monarch of Qin was repeatedly incompetent, lascivious and extravagant, and the state of Qin declined, so that now only this mighty river is left, but the magnificent army of Mu Gong at that time is not seen.

In the early morning, the river is turbulent, pouring for thousands of miles, beating on both sides of the bank like a storm, splashing layers of water.

Originally, it was a dry autumn season, but the county seat of Changchuan is close to Chushui, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and surrounded by dense primeval forests, so the moisture in the air is very large. I don't know when, the river surface is silently covered with a thick layer of mist, white and vast, and nothing can be seen.

"General, foggy?" , Yu Da, who was hiding on the hillside not far from the city, waved the white gas in front of him with his hand, and then said to Wei Kai, who was pretending to be asleep on the side, with an ugly face.

"Oh, tell everyone to get ready, the enemy will appear soon", after saying this, Wei Kai didn't open his eyes, and holding the Qi Qi Sword in his hand, he seemed to fall into a deep sleep again, as if he was recuperating.

You Da was not as leisurely as Wei Kai at this time, and he had the heart to sleep in this fog, feeling the mist in his hands, sticky, making him very uncomfortable.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that the sudden fog made everything disappear in this dense fog, and only the top of the forest was faintly visible in the distance, and Qin Jun's vision was compressed to the extreme.

Looking at the confused white world around him, Yuda suddenly felt the danger of death in his heart, and had an urgent idea to withdraw his troops back to the city to defend.

Originally, the Qin army was lying in ambush outside the city, and planned to wait until the enemy army who came to sneak attack crossed the Chu River, so they took advantage of the unstable situation of the enemy army and the lack of organization and defensive formation, the Qin army suddenly attacked, and the enemy army was wiped out by the Chu River.

But now that the fog had covered everything, the Qin army was not only unable to see clearly the formation of the enemy troops crossing the river, but also unable to comfortably convey military orders and deploy the 8,000 troops deployed outside the city.

Looking at the white mist that was constantly rolling and surging, Yu Da became more and more frightened, as if there were countless enemy troops with weapons hidden behind him, with their bloody mouths open, rushing towards the Qin army around them.

"General, the situation is not right", You Da pressed the worry in his heart and whispered to Wei Kai beside him.

When Wei Kai heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, looked at Youda with a worried face, and said, "What's the matter?" ”。

"There is now a fog all around, and our troops cannot detect the enemy in the thick fog, and they cannot launch a surprise attack. The last general is more worried that the enemy army has taken advantage of the fog and has already attacked by surprise, but our army is far less numerous than the enemy army, in this dense fog...", You Da arched his hand and persuaded Wei Kai.

In fact, what worried Yuda the most about this fog was that the cavalry units of the Qin army could not carry out an effective surprise attack on the incoming enemy army.

After all, in this dense fog, once the enemy army and the Qin army ambushed outside the city were handed over, the Qin cavalry and charioteers could not attack the enemy without scruples, and in this dense fog they exerted the powerful impact power of the mobile troops.

To make matters worse, cavalry and charioteers became live targets once they stopped moving at high speeds.

"Well, you have a point."

"Then please give the general an order immediately, let our army return to the city, and rely on the county town of Changchuan to block the attacking enemy", You Jin was very happy when he heard this, and immediately said.

Nazhi Wei Kai looked into the distance, actually smiled slightly, and said, "It's a pity, it's late...".

When you heard this, she suddenly looked up at the smile on Wei Kai's face, and suddenly felt very strange in her heart. Following Wei Kai's gaze, he saw that a long line of enemy troops with torches had slowly attacked from the river, and his heart instantly trembled like falling into an ice cave.

Now once the Qin army moves, it will definitely be discovered by the dense enemy troops not far away, and the short-handed encounter is not what Yu Da hoped, and his heart was suddenly anxious.

So he turned his head and looked at Wei Kai with a look of hope, hoping that Wei Kai would be able to take unexpected actions.

It won't be long before the enemy forces in the distance will soon surprise the Qin army, and then the Qin army will have to charge the whole army and fight to the death.

Nazhi Wei Kai looked at the enemy army in the distance, and actually said with a smile on his face: "Heaven is not the way you come, and hell has no door for you to break in."

"General, the enemy army is already rushing over, you hurry...".

Looking back at You Jin with an anxious face, Wei Kai turned around and drew the saber at his waist, pointed at the enemy soldiers in the distance and shouted: "You have killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, at this time, the whole army charges, kill with me."

Suddenly, the Qin army's military drums sounded, and the military flags on the mountain were unfurled.

The Qin army, which had already been in ambush, emerged from the hiding place at this time, and the sound of the Qin army's fighting suddenly sounded all around, attacking the enemy army below the slope.

When he saw it, he was suddenly anxious, and he hugged Wei Kai, who was about to charge with the army, and shouted: "General, don't." Our troops are far outnumbered by the enemy, and besides, there is a heavy fog all around, and the cavalry cannot support our foot soldiers."

When Wei Kai heard this, he didn't care about what You Jin said, after all, now that the enemy army was in front of him, if the Qin army took the initiative to retreat, the enemy army would bite and cover up, and then the Qin army would fall into passivity, which would be even more disadvantageous.

Now the only way to take the initiative is to take the initiative to attack the enemy army below the slope, taking advantage of the fog to feign the might of the Qin army.

If the enemy army was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Qin army, the Qin army might be able to win a big victory with less.

If it doesn't work, then there is only one way to sacrifice some Qin troops and leave time for other Qin troops to retreat into the city, after all, it is impossible for the Qin army to withdraw into the city safely.

The more fierce the Qin army's attack, the more likely it is to win, and the more desperate the person, the more likely it is to stimulate his potential.

It's a pity that ordinary people may be intimidated by Wei Kai's fox and fake tiger might, but this time he led the army across Chushui, and it was the silkworm cong who served as the vanguard.

In the face of the sudden and fierce attack of the Qin army, a nimble person may hesitate to consider the reason why the Qin army is so, and then it seems that Wei Kai may be able to seize the momentary hesitation of the enemy army and successfully bring the large army into the county seat of Changchuan.

But the slightly tenacious silkworm cong Chongming did not have this kind of thought, and when he killed the Qin army that was attacking from all directions, he only recalled the promise he made to his father before leaving. Therefore, the more fierce the Qin army's attack, the happier he was in his heart.

So the soldiers who went forward and attacked down the hillside were as if the river had hit a rock, and there was no reverberation.

Seeing this, Wei Kai knew that the so-called great victory of the Qin army that he expected was now unattainable.

Now only by taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army in the distance is pinned down by the Qin army that is going to attack, and most of the remaining Qin army retreats into the city, can the Qin army reduce its losses as much as possible and retain a glimmer of life.

Just as Wei Kai was about to order the rest of the Qin army to quickly return to Changchuan County, suddenly the rear of the Qin army's ambush faintly heard the sound of the enemy's charge, and his face suddenly changed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw...".

You Jin, who was beside him, hurriedly took the nearby soldiers to protect Wei Kai and evacuate in the direction of Changchuan County.

So in the sound of the Qin army's war drums, the Qin army, which was originally charging at the bottom of the slope with great momentum, was attacked from the front and back of the enemy army that was attacked, and the Qin army began to be defeated in an instant.

The flag of the Qin army, which was still waving in the wind just now, was thrown on the ground indiscriminately at this time, and the field was full of fleeing Qin troops, followed by a steady stream of Shu soldiers, so the screams and cries of the Qin army resounded throughout the entire surroundings, and there were corpses of soldiers on both sides of the war everywhere, and blood stained everything.

"Steady, steady...", a commander of the Qin army shouted to the fleeing Qin army around him.

Unfortunately, the defeat was like a mountain. The number of the Qin army was far less than that of the enemy, and the Qin army, which was still chasing and killing the slave army in the field a few days ago, was now flanked by the Shu army that came to sneak attack on both sides, and the enemy was attacked on the back and was defeated in all directions.

Of course, the quality of the Qin army was far stronger than that of the ragged and undisciplined army of slaves.

Seeing that there was no hope of retreating to the city, the soldiers of the Qin State took up their weapons one after another and charged at the surging Shu army, hoping to stop the pursuing enemy troops and leave a trace of life for the people in front.

Killing the Qin soldiers who rushed in with a knife, Silkworm Cong Chongming waved the remaining blood stains on the big knife in his hand, looked at the remaining Qin troops around, and shouted to the surrounding clansmen: "Those who descend will not be killed, and those who surrender will not be killed."

After all, in the eyes of the silkworm cong, these remaining soldiers of the Qin army are all warriors. He saw several soldiers who could have escaped, in order to save the Qin soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground, so they returned without hesitation, and then calmly died in battle.

"Hahaha, you wild dogs, you are also worthy of your Grandpa Qin to surrender."

"Haha, dog thief, our general will definitely avenge us".

Before the surrounding Shu soldiers began to surrender, the Qin soldiers who heard the heavy words of the silkworm cong around began to curse, and then rushed to attack the Shu soldiers who surrounded him.

With a snort, the long spear pierced through the thin body of the Qin army, and blood flowed immediately. But knowing that those Qin Jun had not completely swallowed their breath, they threw out the long sword in their hand vigorously, stabbed the person with the gun in front of him with a sword, shouted: "Your grandfather is enough", and then fell to the ground and died.

The blood splashed on the faces of the Shu soldiers around them, and a few timid Shu soldiers looked at the Qin army who was still glaring angrily after the battle, and they were suddenly frightened and retreated.

, In the face of the heroism of the remnants of the Qin army around, the silkworm cong who had always been simple was also moved, but he didn't expect the tragedy of the Qin army to be as tragic as this.

As the sun climbed the hill in the distance, the thick blood-colored fog gradually dissipated, and the surrounding fields appeared in front of you in an instant.

Looking at the Shu soldiers who were supporting each other all around, holding their respective weapons, they were cleaning the battlefield just now, and the silkworm cong who was covered in blood like a demon god did not have a trace of joy.

At this time, the enlightened chatter who went to the sneak attack with the Bai Hao clan came with a small number of guards, looked at the silkworm bush standing in the corpse mountain, and immediately said forward: "Chongming, you have made a great contribution this time."

I was still thinking about the Qin Army's heroic silkworm bush just now, and when I heard Bai Hao's words, I slowly detached myself from my thoughts and smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt? Bai Hao looked at the great victory, but at this time there was no trace of joy, so he hurriedly looked at him and asked eagerly.

After all, in Bai Hao's opinion, it was by relying on Chongming to drag the brave Qin army this time, that his side could successfully bypass the Qin army, and sneak attack from the rear of the Qin army, so that they could defeat the Qin army.

"No, it's Qin Jun...", Chong Ming helplessly pointed to the Qin Jun who was kneeling on the ground and died in battle, and smiled bitterly at Bai Hao, who was touching around on his body.

Looking at the heavy gaze, Bai Hao also sighed helplessly.

The Qin army is not only the remnants of the soldiers in front of them, they are as tragic as this. When they were covering up the Qin army and preparing to attack their main general, the Qin army, which had been scattered everywhere, took up arms and attacked thousands of their own people as if they were not dying, just to leave a chance for their main general to escape.

"Their generals have abandoned them, why are they still so....".

Looking at the silkworm cong with a questioning face, Bai Wei, who had been in the world for a long time, touched his beard and said: "Maybe they will say what they said in the Central Plains, and the person who is a confidant will die."

Without waiting for Chongming to continue to speak, Bai Hao looked at the Changchuan County that had been conquered in the distance, and said with emotion: "But this time the location is favorable and we are on our side, even if their lord escapes this time, it can't change the outcome of their defeat."

It turned out that the Shang Alliance not only transmitted false information to Wei Kai through this traitor, but also secretly contacted the secret line among the children of the family in Wei Kai's army, and after Wei Kai led the army out of the city and was attacked from front to back, he took advantage of the situation to seize the city gate and let the Shu soldiers enter Changchuan County.

At this point, the county town of Changchuan, which had been held for fifteen days, was captured by the Shu soldiers with the help of the clan rebellion. Wei Kai led the army to retreat to the original military village where the wounded were originally accommodated, relying on the strong military village, collecting the remnants of the army, and resisting the combined army of various ethnic groups in Shuzhong.
