Chapter 20: The Fire Bull Formation
Meng Yi took the lead and rushed towards the Korean soldiers' camp, Meng Tian held several torches behind him, and the flames were torn by the wind and fluttered like a flag, rushing into the Korean soldiers' camp like a fire god.
In the night, the flames were soaring, the blood was all over the ground, the panic was infinitely magnified, and the two or three thousand men and horses in the town were rushed by the chaotic army that fled in, and they were suddenly in chaos, and they were wrapped in a dizzy way and fled with the current. In addition, a large amount of fierce fire oil in the barracks was also accidentally ignited, and the fire suddenly became even bigger. As long as some soldiers are contaminated with a little bit of fierce fire oil, they will suddenly become burning people.
The enemy collapsed faster than Di Mengyi expected, and a raid turned into a chaotic chase.
Wang Ben rushed in front of Meng Yi, the long Qin sword was cold and uncertain, every time he swung it, it was a puff of blood light spraying like rain, and he was covered in blood red like a hellish ghost, looking extremely powerful, and some Korean soldiers were even so frightened by him that they peed their pants.
Meng Yi fell behind Wang Ben, and he didn't even have a chance to cut people, only to smell the fart. He was so angry that he scolded loudly: "Aunt Wang, even if you are ruthless, if you have the ability, don't rob me of these small fish and shrimp, you cut the master and Han Teng!" What a! ”
Wang Ben turned a deaf ear and only cared about slashing. Others, such as Li Xin and Zhang Han, are not bad, one person chased hundreds of Korean soldiers and slashed wildly, drinking like thunder, like a killing god, hearing Meng Yi's angry scolding, Zhang Han also took the time to turn around and joke him: "Meng Yi, you can rest...... You're good enough tonight! ”
The next morning, the Qin army cleaned up the battlefield, and the 500 Qin army suffered no more than 50 casualties, but nearly 1,000 Korean soldiers were slashed and killed, and most of the Korean soldiers slashed and trampled on each other, trampled to death and burned thousands of people, and the rest of the less than 1,000 people scattered and fled. The entire town of Bison was burned to a black graveyard, which was truly tragic.
One to twenty, an unprecedented victory. At this moment, the sky was full of red clouds, and the red sun was spraying out a furnace of boiling molten steel, which was crystal dazzling. At this time, a trace of blood-red light waves came in from the white of the sun, radiating ten thousand rays of light. Sunlight shone through the trees and slanted across the ground through the morning mist.
Five hundred cavalry escorted the thousands of captives and set out on their way home.
"Cheng Ye, fierce fire oil; Defeat also, fierce fire oil. If it hadn't been for the fierce fire of the fire oil last night, I'm afraid our fire attack strategy would not have been so successful! "Meng Tian personally experienced last night's battle, and naturally knew that there were many enemy troops, and if there was no assistance from the fierce fire oil, the enemy still had a chance to turn the tables.
"Han Teng is also a battle-hardened veteran, but I didn't expect to plant a big heel this time! I think he must have wanted to cry without tears! "Meng Yi won such a big battle for the first time, so he was naturally very happy.
Shocked to hear that the Qin army won a great victory in Bison Town, the morale of the Korean army in the city was low.
"Haha...... Good boy, tiger father has no dog son. Gong Yingwei was very excited, and said with a high spirit, "Pass on the order of the marshal, prepare the wine, meat and food to celebrate the achievement, and wait for the city to be broken, and then carnival for a day!" ”
"No." General Meng Wu, as the deputy marshal of this expedition, was naturally more pleased, thinking: There is a successor to the Meng family!
Gong Yingwei led the army to attack the city overnight, first relying on the strange soldiers to attack the city, and then at the same time Rui Shi attacked the city regardless of casualties, and finally successfully broke through the city before dawn.
Zhang Zhong, the defender of the city, was unwilling to lose the city, so he simply led the remnants of the army to start a street battle. All of a sudden, more than 100,000 people in the city began to fight and flee each other, making it impossible to describe the chaos in words. Countless people and men fled from the city, and scattered all over the mountains; And many Korean troops also rushed out of the city, and the fighting spread to the outside of the city, and there were cries, curses, shouts, and killing sounds everywhere, making it seem like hell inside and outside the city.
"Kill, kill one is enough, kill two and earn." Zhang Zhong, the defender of the city, was like a madman, constantly inspiring the remaining soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy.
In order to quickly annihilate the enemy, the Qin army began to forcibly demolish civilian houses, and as a result, it was naturally hostile to the Korean civilian population. Coming and going, many ordinary people armed with kitchen knives, hoes, and sticks joined the camp of resistance.
The casualties of the Qin army were getting bigger and bigger, and they had already exceeded the losses in the siege battle.
"Pass my general order to kill all the young and strong, regardless of the soldiers and the people." The furious Duke of Qi went on a killing spree.
And the remnants of the soldiers who were still brandishing their weapons and slashing were only desperate cries and disillusionment. Crying, crying, crumbling...... I don't know how many people were buried in the rubble, how many died in the rubble, and there were rivers of blood everywhere. People who still have hope for life are also missing arms and legs, and their bodies are bloody and unbearable. A boy of three or four years old was sitting in the rubble, surrounded by bloody corpses, also splattered with blood. The boy was obviously frightened by what was going on around him, his face was panicked, his eyes were wide open, his face was covered with dust, and he was crying with his mouth wide open, and even the bruises on his neck and face were exposed, and the poor boy was looking for his father and mother with his desperate cry.
However, Meng Yi didn't expect that Gong Yingwei actually ordered all 30,000 young men in the city to be killed, and built a Jingguan outside the east gate of the city to warn anyone who dared to resist the Qin army!
When Meng Yi heard about it, he hurried to the east gate of the rolling city, and at this time, the first line of sunlight rose in the east, and when he looked out from the east gate tower, he could clearly see the heads piled up into a hill, exuding an eerie aura; The sight of so many heads piled together, many with dead eyes open and blood-stained tongues sticking out, like ghosts seeking their lives, is something that not everyone can bear. It's really appalling, the division of tigers and wolves really lives up to its name.
Meng Yi stood on a high place and looked out of thin air, seeing the rolling mountains in the distance, as deep as the sea, and the sunset at dusk gradually set, and the remaining glow reflected the sky red like blood.
"Thirty thousand young people? Gong Yingwei is also too generous! Even if they were all sold as slaves, that would be a lot of labor! "Meng Yi couldn't understand the brutality of the Qin army.
"The six countries are fighting endlessly, and it has long been the norm for everyone to retaliate against each other." Meng Tian and others are used to it.
"But in this case, the feud is too deep, if the people of the whole city resist to the death in the future, what can they do?" Meng Yi looked at his silent brother Meng Tian, thinking that he was afraid that his brother would also be a murderous general in the future.
Along the way, Meng Yi was full of worries, and his original intention was to maintain the normal course of history as much as possible and ensure the cohesion of the Chinese nation. However, after a war, more than 100,000 civilians died directly or indirectly in the Qin army.
The people on the border fled, the grass fell, and the barren fields and abandoned homes were left, the smoke and cold wild foxes cried, and the lush grass covered the ruins; Some orphans and widows are struggling to survive in small huts made of thatched huts. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they fled like frightened birds.
Meng Yi traveled all the way west, and on the way he saw many people who had returned to their homes after the war, all unkempt, ragged, and staring.
The damage caused by the war was very serious, and from time to time people could be seen on the roadside looking at the ruins of their homes and weeping, and even after finding the bones of their relatives among the ruins, they cried out to the sky and the ground.
The city is also very desolate, only a small number of shops are open for business, and the items are scattered and extremely scarce. The streets were sparsely populated and depressed, with collapsed houses everywhere, broken walls and broken tiles, and a sense of desolation after the war disaster.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. How innocent are the people!
No wonder the Guigu Gate and the Tianji Pavilion hope that the Qin State will dominate the world as soon as possible, when will this world be peaceful?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the Qin-Han border, he ran into an unexpected woman.
I saw a group of knights galloping towards the horses. At the head of the pack was a girl in a red samurai suit, born with a beautiful race and galloping, showing her youth and vitality. She has a pair of slender legs, her complexion is snow-white and crystalline, her waist is slender and beautiful, but her breasts are swollen and plump, very seductive, and she is a beautiful angel with a devil's body. It turned out to be the girl Dong Rou, the eldest lady of Tianji Pavilion who came uninvited, obviously came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"You are too brutal, thanks to our Tianji Pavilion for being kind enough to help you collect intelligence and arrange internal responses!" A fiery red figure flew over, followed by a flying red whip and struck Meng Yi in the face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that." Meng Yi didn't dodge or dodge, although his face hurt hotly, it seemed that this would alleviate the self-blame in his heart.
"Dong Rou, Meng Yi is just a centurion, and he has no right to influence the military orders of the commander Gong Yingwei. He was helpless about this matter. Meng Tian saw his younger brother being beaten, so he had to step forward to explain.
"I don't care, my mother already knows about it, or my grandfather will know about it, and then don't think we're helping you." After speaking, Dong Rou, who had a hot temper, hurried away.
"Didn't you say that Dong Rou has become a lady recently? Why is it still so popular? Meng Tian felt a big headache and looked at the blood marks on his brother's face.
Young Meng Yi was thinking about whether Tianji Pavilion would continue to support the great cause of Qin State to dominate the world at this moment, as for Miss Dong's mood, he ignored it for the time being.
In ancient times, when marching and fighting, intelligence was especially important. After all, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were in turmoil, and it was the norm for roads to be in disrepair and blocked. The Qin army was fighting in an enemy country, and it was already difficult to supply food, weapons, etc., and if there was no better information, then this war would be full of many variables.
Later generations boasted of the invincible and indomitable record of the Qin army, but in fact, it was all nonsense. Even in the later stages of the War of Unification, the Qin army lost several key battles, and this is the ancient war - there is no battle that must be won!
So at least for now, the Qin State couldn't do without the help of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion!
