Chapter 113: Letters
"The Zhao army broke through the camp, killed people everywhere and set fires, the brothers couldn't resist it at all, the general should retreat quickly!"
The man's wound kept bleeding, and he urged anxiously.
Meng Wu was still a little confused, and shouted: "Isn't there more than 10,000 soldiers keeping vigil, how can the three thousand Zhao army break through the camp!" ”
The man replied, "Not only the three thousand Zhao army, but also at least twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, all of which are well-equipped tiger and wolf divisions. ”
"Twenty or thirty thousand?"
Meng Wu was a little stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face became extremely pale.
Some time ago, Zhao Jia relied on the speed advantage of cavalry to cut off almost all the eyes and ears of Meng Wu, so that Meng Wu did not know that Zhao Guo's follow-up reinforcements had arrived.
Meng Wu was not a stupid person, and he quickly figured out that the so-called 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao State was all the troops left by the Zhao State in the land of Shenqi at that time.
He didn't expect that at the same time as the Turkish army fortress was lost, Zhao Jia not only did not go to capture the Turkish army fortress, but instead used all the soldiers and horses in Shenqi to attack the soldiers and horses of the Qin State brigade.
Such a crazy move is unbelievable.
"Kill!"
In the Qin army camp, the sound of shouting and killing echoed everywhere, and the fire that rose to the sky almost dyed the night red.
The 30,000 iron horsemen were like life harvesting machines, ruthlessly trampling on the Qin army.
"General, run away!"
Seeing that Meng Wu was still in a daze, the man couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face, and stepped forward to pull Meng Wu's sleeve and wanted to pull him away.
"Stomp, stomp!"
However, at that moment, an arrow shot from a distance, hitting the man's throat.
"Ho-ho!"
He let go of his right hand and tried to cover his neck, but before the palm of his hand touched the wound, his body had already fallen to the ground limply.
It was only at this time that Meng Wu completely came back to his senses.
"Where to go!"
There was a loud shout in the distance, and Meng Wu hurriedly raised his head and slashed it, just in time to see Sima Shang holding a spear and killing him on a horse.
Meng Wu is also a veteran of the battlefield, and his courage is abnormal.
Even if the Qin army was at a disadvantage at this time, Meng Wu remembered the glory of the Meng clan and was still unwilling to give in.
"Kill!"
He roared angrily, picked up the spear that had fallen beside him, and instead of running away, he rushed towards Sima Shang, who was coming on horseback.
"Bell!"
Meng Wu dodged the charge of the war horse and brandished the spear in his hand, trying to pierce Sima Shang's body.
However, Sima Shang was not an ordinary person, and the spear was wielded with great power, just blocking the spear stabbed by Meng Wu.
The weapons intersected, and Sima Shang obviously had the upper hand with the help of the power of the war horse.
On the other hand, Meng Wu's body staggered back a few steps, and even the weapon in his hand was almost thrown to the ground.
"Tied up!"
At the same time, the knights who followed behind Sima Shang also struck one after another, and the spears in their hands stabbed at Meng Wu's body, causing him to lose his combat effectiveness.
None of the knights' stabs were critical, and Meng Wu appeared to be badly wounded, but in fact it was not fatal.
The south gate of the Turkish army fortress.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and five thousand Qin elite cavalry charged and rushed towards the Turkish army fortress, and the person at the front was Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi.
"Father, why did these cavalrymen come back?"
on the city walls.
Meng Tian looked at the galloping Qin cavalry, and immediately turned his head to look at Meng Fei, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
Seeing this, Meng Fu's gray eyebrows couldn't help wrinkling.
Ever since Meng Fu got the news and knew that Zhao Jia had led his troops into Qin, he felt faintly uneasy.
At the beginning, Meng Fu sent 5,000 elite cavalry to support Meng Wu, also to prevent trouble.
But today, instead of seeing Meng Wu and the rest of the Qin army, only five thousand elite horsemen returned, and the foreboding of Meng Wu became stronger and stronger.
"Open the city gate and let Meng Yi come over to report the military situation."
The person who commanded the 5,000 cavalry this time was Meng Yi, although his talent was not as good as Meng Tian, but he was also a good talent, in addition to the lack of actual combat experience in commanding troops, he was definitely a qualified general.
"Father, brother!"
"Before I led 5,000 cavalry to join my father, I got 30,000 cavalry from Zhao Jia's command of Shenqi, and defeated all the follow-up troops of our Qin army, and even my father became a prisoner."
When these words fell, Meng Tian's face changed greatly, but Meng Tian's body shook and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Meng Tian's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly reached out to help Meng Fei, so that the old man did not fall to the ground.
He stared at Meng Yi with his eyes fixed, and said in a hoarse voice: "You mean, tens of thousands of follow-up troops, all of which were broken by Zhao Jia?" ”
Meng Yi nodded bitterly.
Meng Fu forcibly held back the throbbing in his heart, and asked tremblingly, "Then what are the casualties of the Zhao army?" ”
Meng Yi hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Few!" ”
This time, before Meng Tian could speak, Meng Tian had already asked: "How is this possible, although the follow-up soldiers and horses have a baggage team, they also have tens of thousands of elites." ”
"Even if Zhao Jia commands 30,000 elite cavalry, if he wants to annihilate that army, he will inevitably suffer a lot of casualties!"
When Meng Yi heard this, he immediately said indignantly: "Zhao Jiana is despicable and shameless, first he only used 3,000 cavalry to harass the camp day and night, making our army in the camp sleepless and exhausted. ”
"No, my father had to order the troops to be divided into four divisions, and one was sent to garrison the camp every night to prevent a sneak attack by the Zhao army, while the rest of the troops were to rest with their ears plugged and don't care about what happens."
"I never thought that Zhao Jia took advantage of the fact that our army's eyes and ears were cut off, and the 30,000 cavalry had quietly gathered outside the camp, and our army was defeated when they couldn't be caught off guard."
Although Meng Yi's introduction is very simple, Meng Fu and Meng Tian have already understood it.
The two looked at each other, and there was a look of helplessness in their eyes.
Meng Yi continued: "Zhao Jia has already commanded the cavalry to rush towards the Turkish army fortress, presumably it will arrive soon, how should we deal with it?" ”
At the beginning, when Meng Fu commanded the troops to attack Pingzhou, there were more than 10,000 casualties, plus those soldiers and horses lost by Mengwu, the Qin army now has only more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.
Zhao Jia has 30,000 elite cavalry under his command, and the situation between the two sides has undergone a earth-shaking reversal, and the initiative is even in Zhao Jia's hands.
"Father, the situation is already like this, it is better to leave two thousand people to defend the fortress of the Turkish army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will all enter the land of Shenqi and attack the city."
"Now that Zhao Jia is leading the troops out of the nest, the land of Shenqi is extremely empty, and our army will definitely be able to win consecutive battles!"
Meng Tian thought for a while and said.
Meng Yi retorted: "My father is still in the hands of Zhao Jun, if I attack the land of Shenqi at this time, which makes Zhao Jun angry, what if I kill my father?" ”
Meng Tian hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Yi, don't worry, my Meng clan is a general, and Zhao Jia is not a person who loves to kill, since my father is controlled by him, it is expected that his life is not in danger." ”
"For the present place, the seizure of the place of Shenqi is the current major event."
"Report!"
As soon as Meng Tian's words fell, a herald hurriedly arrived and sent a letter to Meng Tian.
After reading the contents of the letter, Meng Fu's face immediately changed greatly.
