Prequel: The Widow Has a Disease Chapter 43, The Battle of Xinli
Qi State Sima Hao Meng self-slaughtered the Jiang River, Qi Wang Siqi asked Wu Bugu to go out of the mountain, and then lead Sima.
In the twenty-fifth year of King Lihe, Xiaoman, Qingbo and Wubu Gubayang met, and the two countries reunited their alliance.
Mur was angry about Qi's betrayal of the alliance, so he asked for an envoy to Song. Xiong Ran agreed, and Muer sent an envoy to the Song State and asked Song to send an army.
In the twenty-fourth year of King Lihe, the five kingdoms invaded the Song Dynasty, the Chu State lifted the siege, and the Song and Chu were firm allies, Song Xiao promised to send troops, worshiping Han Ze as the main general, Muse as the commander of the left army, Long Li as the commander of the right army, leading 100,000 soldiers, crossing the Jianling Pass, borrowing the Jiao State, and directly attacking the Wucheng of the Qi State.
Wu Bugu went out of the mountain, and then led Sima, made friends with the Fang State, and transferred 50,000 troops to guard Wucheng.
Wucheng is an important town in the northeast of Qiguo, once Wucheng is lost, there is no barrier north of Qidu.
Previously, Wucheng doctor Zheng Xiu was killed by Hao Meng, and Zheng Hong, the son of Situ Zheng Shuang, succeeded him as Wucheng doctor. In addition to Zheng Hong, the three generals Miao Kuo, Bolang, and Zhonglang also guarded Wucheng.
On the side of the Fang State, Fan Di guarded Qianzhong, but Qianzhong was full of war, it was already a ruined city, and it was broken in less than three days, and Fan Di had to retreat to Fuling.
Chu general Teng Yun was like a bamboo, taking Qianzhong directly, and then marching to Fuling. The total number of defenders of Fuling was less than 40,000, and the Chu army was still 80,000 after the battle of Qianzhong, and Fuling was in an emergency.
The siege of Bayang has been lifted, and Acacia and Lango went to Fuling again, but the Jiangzhou army is less than 5,000, and the Acacia 5,000 light cavalry is only 3,000, a total of less than 10,000 people, which is just a drop in the bucket.
The country of Fang is really unable to fight anymore, with the strength of the whole country, there are 80,000 horses in the west, 20,000 in the south, and less than 50,000 in Fuling.
Fortunately, the Houthis invaded south again, and Shu faced a strong enemy and was unable to fight on two fronts, so he hastily withdrew his troops from eastern Sichuan and rushed to the north, and the west was temporarily safe.
The form is still severe, Xiong Ran sent the general Huang Yan to lead 120,000 troops to aid Fuling, and there is a great attempt to destroy the Fang State.
King Fang had to send 70,000 people from the west to aid Fuling, and the war in Fuling broke out again.
The state of Fang has devoted all its strength to garrison Fuling, Taibao Fan Tu, Shaofu Xiangsi, Zhigui Bachuang, Banan Dafu Basang, Shaobu Badi, Nanjun Dafu Fan Xiaozhi, Jiangzhou Military General Ling Han, Bayang Dafu Lange, regardless of the army or the people, all participated in the war.
The soldiers of the whole country, only 10,000 were left in the south to guard against the Nanban, and 10,000 in the west to guard against Shu, a total of 130,000 horses, all of which were dispatched to Fuling.
This is the battle to protect the country, if this battle is lost, Fuling will be lost, and the country will die.
On the side of the Chu State, there are 200,000 soldiers, more than 10 generals, Teng Yun is the main general, and Huang Yan is the deputy, this battle is bound to win.
Outside the city of Fuling is the Wujiang River, the Wujiang River flows into the Tongjiang River in Fuling, and the two rivers meet, scouring out the fertile Liangjiang Plain.
It was midsummer, Tiandou pointed to the south, the seedlings took root and grew wildly, and the verdant appearance heralded that this year was a bumper year. It's a pity that the seedlings in the Liangjiang Plain are destined to not survive this midsummer.
The drums of war are beating, the hand-to-hand soldiers are in hand, and the swords are fighting; The drums of war beat again, the horses hissed in unison, and the spears fought against each other; The war drums beat three times, the ruins were broken, and the blood was drifting.
This battle of the Wujiang River was fought for three days in a row, the green grass was stained with blood, and the Wujiang River was red.
The army of 130,000 people, most of the dead and wounded, Banan Dafu Basang and Shaobu Ba Yi were martyred, and Fan Tu led the defeated army back to the capital.
The Chu army still has 150,000 left, and it has connected seven cities all the way. If you go further, it will be the capital of citrus.
The people of the capital are panicked, the outside of the capital is an open area, and there is no danger of the river, the Taishi Qing Uncle asked the king of the city to take refuge in Jiangcheng.
The destruction of the country is imminent, Xiang Xi no longer hesitates and takes refuge in Jiangcheng.
The confluence of the Tongjiang River and the Qishui (Jialing River) is the Jiangcheng, where the capital of Pakistan was built.
After the division of Qi, the capital of the state of Qi was set to be the capital of the capital, the capital of the state of Qi was set to be the capital of Qidu, and Jiang Wangshu led the army to capture Jiangcheng and was named the Marquis of the Jiang River.
Jiangcheng is surrounded by water on both sides, one side is surrounded by mountains, from the orange capital, only the pass of Futu Pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The five royal families of the capital retreated to Jiangcheng, and Fan Di personally led 60,000 soldiers to guard Futu Pass.
Guozuo was about to die, and the soldiers and horses in the west and south all rushed to Jiangcheng, and clashed with the Chu army all the way, and when they arrived at Jiangcheng, there were less than 5,000.
There are dozens of cities in the fang country, and now there are only two cities left: Jiangcheng and Bayang; There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the country of Fang, but now there are less than 70,000.
Chu general Teng Yun captured the capital, which was already an empty city. The capital of the country has been taken, and the country of Fang is about to die, such immortal feats are enough for Teng Yun to be canonized.
The dignified martial saint was wrong, and he was defeated in Fuling, and ended up with an unknown whereabouts and unknown life and death. Teng Yun invaded dozens of cities in the country all the way, but for half a month, compared to his husband's mistake, I don't know how much stronger.
Teng Yun led the army to rest for three days in the capital, and in the summer, he waved his troops at Futu Pass and took Jiangcheng directly.
At this time, Jiangcheng was in a national crisis, and people were panicked.
King Xiang Xi was full of sadness, in the Three Kingdoms of Liangzhou, the temple of the Fang Kingdom was assisted by three dukes, and the four realms were guarded by Zhigui, which made him a little fluttering. Now it is only half a month, the land has been lost, and the national honor is like a red candle that will be extinguished, and it will be extinguished without the wind blowing.
The three princes of the temple, Taibao Qizi returned to Wuling, Taifu Riqin Boxian was still immersed in grief, and the only one he could rely on was Uncle Qing.
The four realms are in charge, the lovesickness is unbearable, Ba Chuangkong has force but no brains, Jiang Hou is unconscious, and only Fan Di, who has been officially promoted to the Taibao, can take on a big responsibility.
The country of Fang is in danger, and the country of Qi is even more unbearable. Wucheng was lost in two days, and the Chu army broke through Qidu on seven days and captured Wang Siqi of Qi.
The country was broken, the monarch was captured, the Qi army was disheartened, Sima Wu retreated from the army and lived at Quanguan, defending the strong enemy according to the natural danger.
The land of Qi was trampled by the iron hooves of the Chu army, and there were only three small cities south of Huoquan Pass: Chaiyi, Gaopu and Xinli.
The Qi royal family is the Zheng family among the five surnames of Baguo, Qi Wang Siqi was captured, Situ Zheng Shuang and Sima Wubu supported Babei Doctor and Gongzi Ruoxu as the king.
Gongzi Ruoxu and Qi Wang Siqi were originally siblings, Ruoxu was a brother, and Siqi was a brother. The Dali Dynasty has always been a long-term heir, but the old Qi King is more partial to Siqi, if he loses power.
Siqi was captured and had no blood, so the son Ruoxu, who had always been suppressed, came to power and became King Qi.
Now King Qi Ruoxu and a number of temples are temporarily placed in the small city of Chaiyi. Chaiyi and Huoquanguan are twenty miles apart, and every other hour, there is a fast horse to report, for three days in a row, there is no good news.
"Report." The fast horse was still a hundred paces away, which caused King Qi Ruoxu to be disgusted for a while.
The monarch is a responsibility, but also a burden. Gongzi Siqi is the king, and at first he was still guilty, but then he got used to it.
At the time of the national disaster, he led the army to help, and finally took refuge in Chaiyi and was put on the throne, which was not what he wanted.
"Report," the messenger rolled off his horse, didn't have time to catch his breath, and knelt down and said, "The Living Spring Pass is about to be lost, Sima asks you to move to Gaopu." ”
With a wave of his hand, the messenger turned over and rode away. If King Qi is humble and tired, he suddenly wants to go back to Babei to be a doctor, only govern one city, go to the riverside to walk horses and watch flowers in his spare time, and put on armor to kill the enemy during war. There is no deceit, intrigue, no need to shoulder heavy responsibilities, and be a bitter king.
The daughters of the Qi royal family, the temple doctors, and the scholars retreated to Gaopu, and Sima Wubu gave up Huoquanguan and retired to Chaiyi.
Three days later, Chai Yi broke again, King Qi Ruoxu retreated to Xinli, and Wu Bugu retreated to Gaopu.
Again and again, again and again, and now there is no way back. King Qi sent a messenger to Gaopu and asked Sima Wubu to retreat to Xinli and fight against the water.
Wu Bugu obeyed the order, abandoned the city and retreated to Xinli, with a total of 70,000 horses and horses holding the last city of Qi State.
"Wang, if Xinli is broken, please take refuge in Jiangcheng, retain the bloodline of Qi Kingdom, and make a comeback, but slowly figure it out." Wu Bugu said with his fists clenched.
King Qi Ruoxu looked north into the distance, the sky was full of desolation, only broken mountains and rivers, and the flag of the Chu army could be seen fluttering in the distance.
King Qi Ruoxu shook his head lightly, there was no sigh, no complaint, he was frivolous by nature, and he had already looked down on life and death in the past few years of tempering in Babei.
"Fleeing the country? Daqi only has soldiers who died in battle, and there is no king who died in the country," King Qi Ruoxu looked solemn, drew his sword and shouted, "Lonely would rather die than steal life." ”
"Report," the messenger came to report, "the prince of the state of the state asked to see him." ”
Qing Bolai envoy, now the two countries are on the verge of extinction, and there are only two cities in the country, Jiangcheng and Bayang; Qi is even more miserable, only Xinli Xiaoyi.
"Why did Uncle Qing come?" King Qi asked with a false mouth, and he already had the answer in his heart.
"To make a long story short," Uncle Qing said, omitting his courtesy, "please ask King Qi and the Qi army to go to Jiangcheng, and the two countries will work together to defend against a strong enemy." ”
King Qi shook his head and said: "Uncle Qing is kind, the widow understands it, but the widow is the king for a day, and the land is not allowed for a day." Situ, send off. ”
Situ Zhengshuang had no choice but to send off the guests. Uncle Qing didn't say much, and now that the country was in trouble, there was no need to waste his tongue, so he crossed the river and left.
The Xinli Qi army totaled 60,000, except for the children of the royal family, that is, Situ and Sikong, who also went into battle in armor.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, at dawn, the Song generals Han Ze, Long Li, and Muse led the troops to Xinli, totaling 50,000.
On the side of the Qi Kingdom, King Qi Ruoxu was wearing iron armor and holding a sharp sword, standing proudly on the chariot. On the left side of King Qi Ruoxu, there are Sima Wu Bugu, Sikong Hao He, Wu Bugu's eldest son Wu Yanzuo, the second son Wu Quji, Wucheng Doctor Zheng Hong and Huoquan Guan General Miao Kuo, and on the left side there are Situ Zheng Shuang, Zheng Shuang's eldest son Bolang, second son Zhonglang, third son Shulang and the youngest son Ji Lang who has not yet reached the crown.
After King Qi Ruoxu, 60,000 soldiers were waiting for him, and their eyes could not contain sadness, only the courage to see death as if they were at home and the determination to shroud the body of horse leather.
"Blood relatives and dependents, to sacrifice the fortune of the country." King Qi shouted.
The three of them, Mrs. Qiwang, their dependents, and blood relatives, whether they were afraid or not, all walked out of the array. King Qi Ruoxu is Mrs. Wu, holding the infant little son, looking at Ruoxu nostalgically. His eyes were full of waves, and his expression was so pitiful, if he couldn't bear to look at her, don't look away.
"Are you going to send these female dependents to bewitch our army?" Han Ze laughed, he was suffocated everywhere in Yangguan, and he held his breath for a long time.
Shi Huiyi revealed to him that Song Xiao, the king of Song, intended to re-enshrine the hundred generals, and when he captured the Qi Kingdom, the title of the first hundred generals was in the bag.
The blood relatives of the three Qi kings walked to the front of the battle and drew their swords to kill themselves.
The soldiers of the two countries were all short of breath. Han Ze was so shocked that he stopped laughing and was speechless.
"Talented and virtuous, please sacrifice the fortune of the country." King Qi shouted again. The two sages of Qiguo, Sikong Haohe and Situ Zhengshuang are listed; Qi Guowu was then listed.
Two sages and five talents, a total of seven people, sang loudly and walked to the center of the battlefield.
The song says:
Qishui soup soup, the national fortune is vast. Wushan is majestic, and it is a state of virtue. In the past, I repaired and came out to peace. Now I am going to die, and my soul is returning to my hometown.
The song is "The Gentleman", written by Situ Haohe, two sages and five talents, the song "The Gentleman", drawing a sword and killing himself.
"I don't like these talented people the most." Han Ze pouted.
"Suddenly I can't do it." Long Li has always respected gentlemen, saints, sages, and talents.
"If there is an afterlife, let Gu be the king earlier, leaving such a ragged mess," King Qi Ruoxu first complained, and then cried out sadly, "The widow sacrifices the fortune of the country with his body." ”
"Your Majesty, no."
"King!"
King Qi was empty, drew his sword and killed himself, and his blood was sprinkled on the ground, nourishing every inch of cracked land under his feet.
"People are in the city!" Sima Wubu burst into tears, pointed at the enemy, and drove away in the lead.
"People are in the city!" 60,000 soldiers, drawing swords and swords, holding halberds. There is no superfluous rhetoric, for the enemy is at hand, and they need to save their strength.
This is a war without any morality, and for the Song Dynasty, it is a war of conquest; For Qi, it was a patriotic battle.
Sima Wu is not old and strong, and he is the first to enter the enemy formation. The chariot overturned, Wu Bugu jumped out of the car, threw away Changge in his hand, and pulled out the sword at his waist.
Wu Bugu served as Sima for 33 years and guarded the western border for 23 years. He doesn't have Jiang Wangshu's strength to step alone in Liangzhou, and he doesn't have Zheng Shuang's ability to govern the country, he only has this mortal body.
The battle between the orange and the qi was not something he wanted to see, so he left the temple and returned to the mountains and forests. Some people say that he is famous, some people say that he is too old to be used, and he doesn't care.
Qi Chu's alliance with the Mandarin was not something he wanted to see, so he met with King Qi and stated the pros and cons. Some say he's pedantic, some say he's cowardly, but he still doesn't care.
Qi Zhi rebuilt the old good, which he was willing to see, so he took the dusty armor and sharpened the embroidered blunt sword. Some people say that he is old and strong, some people say that he is stupid, and he does not care as usual.
All he cares about is a battle armor that protects him, only a sword in his hand that he can rely on, only the fertile soil that supports him, and only a battlefield robe that can help.
Wu Bugu's hands are numb, his sword is blunt, his eyes are dazzled, and he can shroud himself in horse leather, which is glory and destiny.
No! The enemy is not destroyed, and the homeland is lost, how can it fall? Wu Bugu shook his spirits, moved his hands and feet, and clenched the sword in his hand, who said that he was too old to use, he was not yet ancient. Who said that he is old, he is still old and strong.
Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong.
Wu Bugu held his sword and rushed towards Long Li. He knew that Long Li was the general of the Song State and the commander of the right army, and he also knew that Long Li was sharp and wide-looking. So Wu Bugu chose to rush at him and kill him.
Long Li deliberately avoided Wu Bugu, this old Sima of the Qi Kingdom had a white beard, which was worthy of respect. Long Li saw Wu Bugu rushing straight and raised his sword to fight. This is a respectable enemy, so he has to go all out and dare not perfunctory him.
Wu Bugu fell, and despite all his might, he couldn't leave a scar on Long Li's body. If he were thirty years younger, no, only ten, ten years younger, he would not have hesitated to rush at him and kill him.
Wu Bugu died, Miao Kuo looked at Long Li angrily, and rushed over to avenge Wu Bugu.
War has always been ruthless, and Long Li is not a compassionate person, so he naturally will not show mercy to his subordinates. Miao Kuo was defeated and martyred.
Miao Kuo is just a martial artist, so it's very pure. King Qi asked him to guard the living spring pass, and he went to guard it; Hao Meng asked him to enter Bayang, and he led the front army to cross the river; Wu Bugu let him defend Xinli, and he will rest until he dies.
Until death, even if Miao Kuo fell to the ground in anger, the shuriken refused to let go, not only until death.
The old Sima Wu of Qiguo had two sons, the eldest son was named Yanzuo, and the second son was named Qu Ji.
Yan Zuo and Qujian saw their father dead, but they couldn't get out, Song General Jianling Muse with one enemy and two, but still had the upper hand, the two brothers did not dare to be distracted, and fought with the muse with all their might.
The muse is one against the other, calmly and freely. After a while, the muse took a sword straight to the heart, but was blocked by Yanzuo. This sword broke Yanzuo's tesuji.
"Brother," Wu Quji's eyes were red, and his moves were fatal, but his moves were full of flaws, and he wanted to exchange injuries for injuries.
Wu Yanzuo changed the sword to his left hand and entered the battle again, the two fought together as a muse, but they couldn't get a little cheap.
"Go, go." Wu Yanzuo had already been hit by several swords, and he was powerless to fight again, so he couldn't bear to watch his younger brother die again, so he shouted loudly.
What kind of person is the muse, he is the descendant of the Sword Tomb, and he is not as sentimental as Long Li. Brotherhood? No, none of them can go, the muse finished off Wu Yanzuo with a sword, and killed Wu to get sick. The two brothers are not enemies of the muses, let alone Wu Quji.
Wu Qujian fought and retreated, and Qi dragged Li Li Li to hold the muse for him, but it was only delayed for ten breaths.
Wucheng doctor Zheng Hong killed a Song general, saw Wu Qujian being chased by the muse, and left with a sword.
The muse of the sword is invincible, and no one can beat it!
Han Ze, the main general of Song, fought Situ Zheng Shuang's four sons alone, and he was still at ease.
Situ Zheng Shuang has four sons, the eldest son Bolang, the second son Zhonglang, the third son Shulang, and the youngest son Jilang.
The four of them surrounded Han Ze, and Song Jiang wanted to help, but was dismissed by Han Ze. Han Ze is like an old cat playing with mice, only defending and not attacking, his eyes are full of banter.
Han Ze naturally has his pride, the Great Song Bai ranked him second, and he was able to escape from the evil and good hands of the first of the eighteen Houthi warriors, how could he be an ordinary martial artist?
Zheng Shuang's four sons, the sons joined the army, and the four sons joined forces, but they were afraid of injuring their own people by mistake, and it was difficult to perform. So the eldest man said: "I am the eldest brother, so I will not be humble, you will retreat first."
The other three sons also knew the general situation and withdrew from the battle circle, leaving only Bolang and Han Ze in the center.
"Wait in line, Han will take a roll call." Han Ze laughed, shook off the smoke and dust on the scarlet robe, and was extremely arrogant.
Bolang drew his sword and was killed by Han Ze's gun.
"Big brother."
Zhong Lang turned his head and patted Uncle Lang on the shoulder, and explained: "The third child, I'll go up and drag him, and you take the fourth child to retreat."
Zhong Lang walked towards Han Ze step by step, he knew that among the four brothers, the eldest brother was the strongest, and the eldest brother was not Han Ze's enemy, let alone him.
He had to go up, since he was the elder brother, he should protect the younger brother, which was as it should be. Didn't the eldest brother protect him before?
Zhong Lang barely lasted half a stick of incense, and still died under Han Ze's hands.
"Ji Lang, the third brother has gone," Uncle Lang knew that Ji Lang was the youngest and the most talented, and said earnestly and bitterly, "Just you are a single seedling, so you can leave a seed for your father." ”
Ji Lang has not yet reached the crown, his childishness has not yet taken off, he is no longer stubborn, and retreats.
Seeing Ji Lang retreating, Shu Lang stood up with a sword and stopped Han Ze.
One door has four sons, and the third has been gone.
