Chapter 124: Wei takes revenge on Ma Ling and captures the king of Qi
After the king of Qi arrived in Lixia, he heard that the Han army on the front line of Acheng had broken and fled, and in order to show his military talent in front of the queen Zhong Wuyan, he signaled the queen to go to the Gao Tang Tianji to oversee the army, and he came to the Qi army camp near Acheng lightly.
Kuang Zhang was also surprised to see that King Qi had come to the Acheng camp so soon, and hurriedly welcomed King Qi into the big tent.
After King Qi entered the big tent, he first asked Kuang Zhang:
"What is the situation of the Wei and Han armies occupying Acheng now?"
Kuang Zhang replied:
"Although the Wei and Han troops in Acheng are still high, the Han army has no intention of fighting again because they know that the domestic situation has changed, and recently our spies learned that nearly 10,000 of the 50,000 Han troops that are still alive this time have fled back."
King Qi asked again:
"Then how many of the total number of Han Wei troops are there near Acheng now?"
Kuang Zhang replied:
"Excluding the number of deaths of the two armies that were blocked by our Qi army all the way this time and the number of fleeing Korean troops, there should be less than 150,000 left!"
King Qi asked again:
"And how many of our troops are around here?"
Kuang Zhang replied:
"Although the number of our army in this vicinity is only 70,000, the 20,000 troops of the Lu State and the 70,000 troops of the Song State are also about to come to the vicinity to support our Qi State, and after the arrival of the two armies, it will be an excellent period for our Qi army to counterattack the Han and Wei armies!"
King Qi is overjoyed:
"Okay, that widow this time not only wants to defeat Wei and Han, and regain the land and Maling that were occupied by Wei last time, but also restore the land of defense and seek justice for Wei Jun!"
So the king of Qi waited until the Lusong reinforcements arrived, and then personally led the armies of the Three Kingdoms and began a crazy counterattack on Acheng and the nearby Xue Ling! ”
After the Wei and Han armies held the two cities for two days, they saw that the allied forces of Qi, Song, and Lu were unstoppable, so they withdrew from the two cities and retreated.
This time, when the Wei and Han armies retreated to a place less than 30 miles away from the vicinity of Maling, they also imitated the strategy of the original Qi army, marching step by step, and fighting and retreating, which made the pursuing Qi, Song, and Lu armies also complain, and Kuang Zhang had no choice but to temporarily stop the armies of the Three Kingdoms.
When the king of Qi saw that the armies of the three kingdoms were no longer pursuing, he asked Kuang Zhang:
"Why didn't you chase it?"
Kuang Zhang replied:
"It's not that they don't chase, it's that Wei and Han also learned from our Qi country, and began to defend with the nearby terrain, resisting step by step, if our army is chasing, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses, and this place is getting closer and closer to Maling Road, this Maling Road is an ominous place!"
King Qi was a little displeased, and shouted angrily at Kuang Zhang:
"What? Ominous? You told the widow that Maling Road is an ominous place? The widow will tell you now, this Maling Road is a place of burial for the Wei army, but it is a blessed land for our Qi country, I think you are mistakenly by the old man of Tian Ji this expedition, the old man let the Zhao army run rampant in our Qi land for so long but did not dare to resist, the widow regrets that he should not reuse the old man in the first place, from today on, the matter of leading the army and commanding is done by the widow himself, and you don't need to bother with Kuang Zhang! ”
So the king of Qi deprived Kuang Zhang of the task of leading the army, personally commanded the armies of the three kingdoms, and began to attack the Wei and Han armies frantically again.
In the face of the beastly attack of the armies of Qi and Song and Lu, the Wei and Han armies could no longer organize a step-by-step resistance, and began to flee frantically in the direction of Maling Road.
When the king of Qi saw that the Wei and Han armies were fleeing like this, he personally pursued them at the forefront, and also ordered all the troops not to overtake their own cars when they were pursuing.
After a while, the king of Qi pursued to the battlefield of Malingyi, where Qi had defeated Wei, and the Qi army had captured thousands of Han and Wei lone soldiers.
At this time, Kuang Zhang saw that the king of Qi was no longer pursuing, and the army of the three kingdoms also stopped here with the king of Qi, so he came to persuade:
"Great King, don't you want to defeat the Wei and Han armies? Why not chase it? This is the perfect time to pursue the enemy, huh? ”
King Qi smiled lightly:
"You didn't let the widow chase you before, but now you want the widow to chase after you? The widow doesn't know what you're thinking, the widow is tired now and wants to rest, it just so happens that this is the blessed land of our Qi country, so the widow wants to rest here for a while, and by the way, these Wei and Han captives are buried alive, and it's not too late to chase after them, so please General Kuang Zhang, don't interfere with the widow's decision-making anymore. ”
Kuang Zhang knelt directly in front of King Qi:
"My lord, I beg you to pursue the enemy at once, and don't give them any chance to breathe!"
King Qi ignored it, and directly asked Kuang Zhang to be escorted, and then ordered the soldiers to start burying the captured Wei and Han soldiers alive on the spot!
King Qi watched as the Wei and Han soldiers were buried alive in this Malingyi one by one, sat on the side and said happily:
"The widow has already said that this Maling Road will always be the burial place of your Wei army, including the Han army, the burial place!"
And then again to the soldiers who were digging the pit were ordered:
"Dig a little deeper, dig a little deeper, and more Wei and Han soldiers will be caught by the widows and buried here!"
And on a cliff next to Maling Road, Chen Zhen said to Wei Si:
"King, it seems that this King Qi can't run away this time, you can order a counterattack!"
Wei Si walked to the side of the war drum, beat the drum himself, and shouted:
"Kill the widow...... Kill, capture King Qi alive! ”
So after a chaotic stone rolled down towards Qi, Lu, and Song, the Wei and Han armies all over the sky rushed over from the slopes on both sides of Maling Road and killed the armies of the three countries, and the Wei and Han armies shouted:
"Capture King Qi alive...... Capture King Qi alive, don't let it run away! ”
The combined forces of Qi, Lu, and Song saw that the enemy army took advantage of the mountains on both sides of Maling Road and swooped towards their side, as if the heavenly soldiers had descended to earth, and instantly lost the heart of resistance, and fled towards the exits on both sides.
However, on the exit road on both sides, the Wei and Han armies had already set up an ambush, resulting in countless casualties among the Qi, Song, and Lu armies who wanted to escape, except for a small number of people who fled from Maling Road, most of them were forced back to the land of the valley, and the King of Qi himself was among them.
After another chaotic battle, Wei Ran took the opportunity to capture the king of Qi and brought him to Wei Si, at this time, the army of the three kingdoms saw that the king of Qi was captured, and they also gave up resistance and surrendered to the Wei and Han armies.
Wei Si also hurried to the place where the Wei and Han soldiers were buried alive by the Qi army, and together they helped rescue the surviving soldiers, but fortunately, these soldiers were not completely buried and were rescued by thrill.
Wei Si was naturally very angry, so he ordered someone to bring the king of Qi, and directly ordered someone to push him into the pit dug by the king of Qi, as if he wanted to avenge the soldiers of Wei and bury the king of Qi alive.
King Qi looked embarrassed in the pit, and was frightened by King Wei's actions, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:
"King Wei, is a widow...... I don't know how powerful your country is, and I want to resist your country in vain, so I beg you to spare my life, my lord! ”
Wei Si directly questioned him:
"Didn't you say that you wanted to bury our Wei and Han armies alive here? Is it wrong for the widow to bury you alive here, to avenge the dead and wounded armies of our two countries? ”
King Qi kowtowed directly to Wei Si:
"King Wei, it's all my fault, my fault, as long as King Wei spares my life, no matter what conditions you make, I can promise you!"
Wei Si hesitated a little, and then Meng Wan came over and said:
"King, since the King of Qi has been captured by us, it is useless to kill it, so we don't need to bring it back to Daliang first, right?"
Wei Si nodded:
"Okay, then take King Qi back to our Daliang to be a guest, so people along the road must not despise King Qi, and treat King Qi as a guest, you know?"
King Qi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
As a result, the battlefield of the Western Front of the Three Jin Dynasty was officially arrogant to the King of Qi, who did not understand military affairs, and led the armies of Qi, Song and Lu to be defeated and captured by the Wei and Han armies in Malingdao, which was completely over, and the Wei State also avenged the revenge of Prince Shen and Pang Juan for the annihilation of the whole army many years ago.
After Wei Hei once again paid homage to the remains of the dead soldiers of the Wei State in Maling Road, he began to return to Daliang with the victorious army.
In the northwest battlefield of Qi State.
Because the Zhao army learned that the king of Qi was captured by the Wei and Han armies in Malingdao, he took advantage of the situation to cross the Jishui to attack Linzi, but he did not expect that the 10,000 Zhao army pioneers who had just crossed the Jishui were fiercely besieged by the Qi army in Bochang on the other side of the Jishui, and the whole army was annihilated.
The Zhao army, which had lost the vanguard, heard that all the Qi troops stationed in Yandi were about to retreat, and in order to prevent being surrounded by the Qi army, the Zhao army had to withdraw all the troops and return to China.
Qi Guo Bochang.
Zhong Wuyan, the queen of the city, was wearing a suit of armor at this time, looking at a group of people who were celebrating, but she burst into tears.
It turned out that the defeat of the Zhao army in Bochang was obtained by the queen Zhong Wuyan who personally put on armor and led the Bochang army and people, and Zhong Wuyan's tears were first for the old general Tian Ji, and the second was the king of Qi who was captured by Wei.
I only heard a general next to him comforting Zhong Wuyan:
"Queen Niangniang, you don't have to be too sad, we are a big country, even if our king is captured by the king of Wei, the Wei country will not dare to do anything to our king!"
Zhong Wuyan wiped her tears with her sleeve:
"I'm really sad that the king was captured, but what makes me even more sad is that the old general Tian Ji actually left like this, and from then on, there will be no Tian Ji in our Qi country!"
The general was surprised:
"What? Queen, is General Tian Ji dead? ”
Zhong Wuyan replied:
"Yes, the old general Tian Ji could have lived for two more years, this time he was suddenly entrusted with a heavy task by the king, so he naturally couldn't refuse, when General Tian Ji learned that the king actually came to Acheng to command the battle, he said two sentences in a row, the king doesn't know anything, the king doesn't know anything, so he closed his eyes, and the old general Tian Ji had a chance to prevent Zhao Guo from learning of his death, so he also asked me to hide this matter temporarily!"
The general said with tears in his eyes:
"General Tian Ji is really the first general of our Qi country, the irreplaceable first general, even the death has never forgotten the safety of our Qi country, this time after you return to the capital, the queen, you must treat General Tian Ji with a state funeral!"
Zhong Wuyan still nodded with tears:
"This is a must, now that the king has been captured, I must rush back to Linzi to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, you go to Gaotang now, and transport General Tian Ji's body back to Linzi, because Zhao has just withdrawn its troops, I am afraid that he will make a comeback after learning of General Tian Ji's death, so I still have to keep General Tian Ji's affairs as secret as possible, you know?"
