Chapter 29: The Battle Out of the City

"It seems that the Wei army can only sit and wait for death." Meng Tian was very happy after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he showed a ashamed expression again.

Tian'er doesn't have to blame herself. Our army plays triumphant songs every year, and many generals like to charge head-on, but you can think of the method of agitating generals, and the old man is already very pleased. As a general, you must cherish the lives of your soldiers. The old general said with relief.

"For the generals, sympathetic to the soldiers, it must be a good thing!" Meng Yi said approvingly, "However, I have been observing for a long time, and I have found that there are also a small number of rangers, sentry, and secret agents in the Wei army who are observing the situation in the nearby waters. It seems that Wu Gang, the general of Puyang, has won the true inheritance of his ancestors and is strictly guarded. ”

"Well, the old man also knows about this. If nothing else, when our army repairs the embankment, it will be the time for the Wei army to go out of the city for a decisive battle! The old general agreed.

"Grandfather, does the Wei army really dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle?" Meng Tian obviously couldn't accept such an outcome.

"Death and life! This is equivalent to us forcing the Wei army to fight a decisive battle, and the strategy of our brother to lure the enemy is the same! Meng Yi naturally had to take care of Meng Tian's fragile heart, after all, the tempering was over, and there was no need to toss Meng Tian anymore.

"Hey, go to the army and plot." Meng Tian looked like he suddenly realized, "Flooding is false, persecution is real, I finally understand today." ”

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the beginning of April, although the cold weather last winter is much better than usual, but it still can't stop the approach of spring. Although it was more than ten days late, spring still came to the earth with a warm smile.

Spring is the season of sowing hope, and the seeds that break through the soil are heralding the arrival of new life. The little grasses poke their heads out, bathed in the spring breeze, and feel the changes between heaven and earth, they will thrive in the endless hope of spring and realize their beautiful wishes. Spring returns to the earth, Vientiane is renewed, sweeping away the lifelessness of winter, and everywhere is filled with infinite hope. The lark awakens the silent earth with its loud song. The flowers render the earth with color, and everywhere becomes full of life, and the breath of spring flows in every corner.

Looking at the beautiful spring scenery, Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: the Qin army saw hope, while the Wei army saw despair.

General Meng Fu only drew out 30,000 troops and logistics people, and slowly built the embankment, and deliberately made it known to everyone.

The atmosphere in Puyang City suddenly became depressed, and there were only two ways in front of them at this time: open the door and surrender, or fight to the death!

Sure enough, when the Qin army was about to repair the embankment, the west gate of Puyang City finally opened with a bang. Eighty thousand Wei troops lined up in a neat array, hurrying out of the city and rushing to death!

Yes! To die! This group of Wei soldiers is full of tragedy written on their faces to fight to the death!

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

The 80,000 Wei soldiers sang the folk song "Shuo Rat" of the Wei State in unison, with a desolate and tragic voice, and seemed to regard the heinous Qin army as a rat hated by everyone!

The front army of the Wei army was actually chariot soldiers, with crossbowmen on both wings, followed by a large number of infantry. One of the troops was actually Wei Wushu, numbering thousands of people. The reason why Wei was the first vassal state in the early Warring States period was because it first went through Li Kui's reform, the national strength was strong, and it was the first to enter the iron field in the field of technology. Wei Wei Wenhou appointed Wu Qi to carry out military reforms, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Wei army. A hoplite unit called "Wei Wushu". This was an important achievement of Wu Qi's military reform. Wei Wushu, the first regular professional army in Chinese history, was also the earliest hoplite in China, armed with iron armor and iron weapons. The soldiers selected for the "military pawn" must wear helmets, armor to protect the upper body, hips, and shins, hold a halberd in their hands, hang an iron sword from their waists, carry a strong crossbow and 50 arrows, and three days' rations, and be able to quickly enter the war after marching a hundred miles in half a day. According to this standard, the physical strength and technical and tactical ability of the "warriors" are equivalent to the "Navy SEALs" during the Warring States period.

It's a pity that there are only 1,000 Wei warriors today, while the Qin army has 3,000 sharp soldiers, and they are stronger than the Wei army in terms of number and equipment!

Puyang guard Wu Gang also knew at this moment that this was a decisive battle with a huge disparity in strength. But he did not hesitate, and with the last hope of Wei, he went out of the city to fight to the death!

The Qin army array, with forwards, guards, and two wings, is a huge military formation in the middle, this is a division of tigers with a clear division of labor!

Strikers and rearguards are both crossbow arrow phalanxes, either responsible for attacking or preventing enemy sneak attacks.

On the left flank were hundreds of Rangers, with hundreds of men as a combat unit, capable of rushing forward quickly and neatly.

On the right flank was a phalanx of chariot troops, with four columns and nine columns as one combat unit. When charging on the ground, it runs like the wind, like thunder, and the momentum is shocking.

The battle began, and the chariots of the Wei army rushed to the middle army of the Qin army, without stopping, and they were not afraid of death. At the same time, crossbowmen from both sides also began to fire. Qin's crossbow arrows had a longer range, higher accuracy, and greater lethality than Wei's, so the Wei army had the upper hand from the beginning.

However, the Wei army's chariots and soldiers ignored the casualties and moved forward, as if they were going to attack the Qin army's central army positions head-on.

After all, the old general Meng Fu had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he saw the Wei army's plot at a glance, and immediately adopted the strategy of attacking and attacking: ordering the chariot soldiers to fight and meet the enemy head-on.

The chariots of both sides collided together, and suddenly the people flipped on their backs; The lucky soldier was just knocked into the air, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead; Those who are unlucky will either be crushed into flesh by the carriage or stabbed into a hornet's nest by the enemy's halberd. The horses were also struck, driven to charge, or broken legs, or stabbed with weapons. The horses roared and neighed, the soldiers screamed again and again, and a piece of flesh and blood flew sideways, so miserable!

Although the Qin army's chariots and soldiers were well equipped, the Wei army was not afraid of death, fought to the death, and finally rushed into the Qin crossbow array. However, the number is limited, and there are only twenty tanks out of the hundreds. It didn't take long for it to be solved by the Qin infantry phalanx in the rear.

At this time, the Wei infantry paid heavy casualties, and finally rushed up, hitting the Qin army formation like a wave. And the crossbowmen on both sides retreated to the rear for long-range attacks.

At the front end of the infantry phalanx of the two armies, they are the elite of their respective armies: the sharp soldiers of the Qin State and the military soldiers of the Wei State!

The sharp soldiers of the Qin State used spears, berylliums, halberds, and bronze swords, which were of different lengths and echelons, and were very tight. The Qin army raised the halberd, flattened the end, stabbed sharply, broke through, entered the body, and returned the halberd, a complete set of actions, as if flowing water; The killing action is so clean and neat, calm and vicious! The Qin military array showed its might.

The Wei soldiers mainly used halberds and iron swords in hand-to-hand combat, and attacked the Qin positions without fear of death. It was often the soldiers in front who grabbed the long weapons of the Qin army before they died, while the Wei soldiers in the back took the opportunity to step forward and rushed into the middle of the Qin army, resulting in the uselessness of the long weapons of the Qin army.

However, the bronze sword of the Qin State Ruishi also played a role at this moment, and immediately filled the vacancy of the long weapon. The two sides immediately coalesced together like honey, and the soldiers in front fell, followed by the soldiers in the back. The battlefield was full of blood, and the two sides were only concerned with fighting, and they had long forgotten their own casualties.

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, the fierce Wei soldiers couldn't help but be stunned by the fanatical and bloody battlefield atmosphere, and their eyes were red. The iron halberd stabbed them in the chest, they turned a blind eye, and at the same time that their bodies were pierced by the sharp halberd, the fierce Wei soldiers actually frantically waved the iron sword in their hands before dying and killed a Qin army soldier who was caught off guard; The iron halberd cut through the void, and the aura of death was formed in front of the Qin army, but the Wei soldiers were as if they were nothing, if the Qin army could not kill the Wei soldiers with one blow, the crazy Wei soldiers would violently knock down the Qin army, and if the iron sword was broken, they would use their teeth and fists to fight the Qin army.

In just an instant, the corpses covered the wilderness, blood flowed all over the earth, the tragic neighing of people and war horses before death resounded in the sky, and the heroic Wei soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties - although the Wei soldiers almost stubbornly resisted the advance of the Qin soldiers at the cost of one step and one life, but the huge gap in combat power was difficult to make up for by blood and madness alone, and the trend of defeat was difficult to be stopped by courage and fearlessness. The invincible Wei soldiers were unexpectedly annihilated by the Qin warriors.

Wei Wushu's twilight! Die generously!

The remaining ordinary infantry of the Wei army did not stop, but rushed forward even more bloodthirstily! But in less than an hour, the whole army was wiped out.

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

"Big rat big rat, no food for me. At the age of three, I don't care about it, and the woman who will pass away is suitable for the happy land. ”

The remaining 10,000 Wei troops were silent for the time being.

The chariots of the Wei army were all wiped out, the soldiers of the Wei army were all wiped out, and the ordinary infantry of the Wei army was also wiped out, and now only the crossbow soldiers remained.

Meng Yi saw that the Wei army had become the end of the crossbow, and immediately surrendered.

The commander of the Qin army, Meng Fu, thought for a moment and sent a herald. Suddenly, the Qin army roared angrily, and the heavens and the earth shook.

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

"Surrender or kill! To drop or not to fall? ”

At this moment, although the Qin army also paid huge casualties, the momentum of the whole army also rose to the peak. Because at this moment, the Qin army still has more than 80,000 people, and the Wei army only has 10,000 left.

Wu Gang, the defender of Puyang, shouted: "The Wei army will not surrender!" Swear not to surrender! ”

Then the remaining tens of thousands of Wei troops also shouted tragically:

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

"The Wei army will not surrender! Swear not to surrender! ”

Meng Yi was sad in his heart: "Today is destined to be a bloody sunset!" ”
