Chapter 119: Battle and Surrender

"Wu Anjun, great news." Sima Terrier walked quickly to Bai Qi's makeshift tent and walked in with a happy expression.

Bai Qi was reading the military book in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What news makes you so happy." ”

Sima Terrier suppressed the joy in his heart and said loudly: "Letter from Zhang." We cut off the connection between the front and rear armies of Zhao. ”

"What did you say?" Bai Qi said emotionally: "Zhang Kai led 5,000 soldiers to cut off the connection between the two armies before and after Zhao's death? ”

Sima Terrier nodded and handed over the battle report sent back from the front, "This is the good news that the last general just got, please take a look at it." ”

"Quick, bring it to me." Bai Qi put down the military book, stretched out his hand to take the battle report, opened it to read it, and praised: "Great, great." Zhang Wei lives up to expectations! I originally wanted him to lead 5,000 soldiers to contain the offensive of the Zhao army. Unexpectedly, he was able to resist Zhao Shu's offensive, and also cut off the connection between the two armies before and after Zhao Shu. ”

"Zhang Kai followed Wu Anjun to conquer the princes, and his force was not weak. What Wu Anjun explained, he naturally had to complete. Sima Terrier only knew that Zhang Kai had won, but he didn't know what was written in the battle report, and when he saw Wu Anjun say so, he also guessed the result.

Wu Anjun handed over the battle report and laughed: "Zhang Kai took advantage of the night with 5,000 soldiers to raid Zhao's camp on the west side of the Dan River, burned the pontoon bridge and ferry tools built by Zhao Shu, and also occupied the fortifications established by Zhao Shu on the west side of the Dan River. Now that the Dan River is rising, Zhao Zu on the east bank of the Dan River has no means to cross the river, Ma Fuzi, and the back road is broken, and he is besieged by us. ”

Sima Terrier listened to Wu Anjun on the one hand, and looked at the battle report on the other. While speaking, another person came in and shouted, "Wu Anjun, General Sima has sent a battle report." ”

Bai Qi shouted, "Bring it quickly." ”

Bai Qi started to read the battle report and said with great joy: "Great." Meng Fu surrounded Zhao Shu's left flank, and Sima Shen led the cavalry to occupy the Great Wall of Zhao State's Baili Stone and cut off Zhao Shu's back road. ”

Another person ran in and shouted, "Wu Anjun, General Fan has sent good news." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and show me." ”

"Great, great." Bai Qiyang raised the battle report in his hand, and looked at the two battle reports on the case, "Fan Yao converged with the royal tomb and captured Lao Maling." Wang Ling blocked the connection with Zhao Shu in Jinyang, and Fan Yao crossed the river, detoured to the Great Wall of Shi, and joined Sima Shen. We succeeded in encircling hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns. ”

When Sima Terrier heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Wu Anjun would use a force comparable to Zhao Guo to encircle hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhao State. The art of war has clouds, ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it. Zhao was equal to the Qin army, and was besieged by Wu Anjun. Wu Anjun went out of the horse, which really frightened the princes.

Bai Qi fought all his life, whether it was Yique's war against Han and Wei, or the destruction of Chu and the occupation of Yingdu, or the battle of Huayang, and the battle of Wei and Zhao. Every time he went to war, he was a big deal, and the princes were defeated. Now, he has surrounded hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns, and he has added more achievements, and his heart is ecstatic.

Bai Qi lifted his spirits and said loudly: "Zhao's defeat is decided. ”

The State of Qin and the State of Zhao, the Battle of Changping, fought for nearly three years. Finally, the winners and losers are determined. The generals of the Qin army in the account showed joy on their faces.

Another scout came and said in a loud voice: "Wu Anjun, I found a large number of enemy troops and attacked my Laomaling." ”

When Sima Terrier heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said anxiously: "Wu Anjun, Lao Maling has hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and military equipment for our army. The last general is willing to lead the army, intercept the Zhao army, and hold the old horse ridge. ”

Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "No need." ”

Sima Terrier looked at Bai Qi and was dumbfounded. If the grain and grass in Lao Maling are burned by Zhao Shu, the battle situation will change again.

Bai Qi looked at the puzzled eyes of the generals and said with a smile: "Lao Maling is an empty warehouse, with no grain and grass, and no ordnance. ”

Sima Terrier exclaimed: "Lao Maling is an empty warehouse ridge? ”

Seeing the generals' surprised expressions, Bai Qi was deeply satisfied. In this way, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he confused General Zhao, and laid a barrier to hide from everyone.

Bai Qijian saw that the generals looked at him, waited for an answer, and said slowly: "We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed on the front line, and they all have to open their mouths to eat. The amount of grain and grass we consume every day is measured in hundreds of thousands of stones. It's a huge hole that can't be filled. Zhao Shu lacked food and grass and wanted a quick solution. We are short of food and grass, and we want to solve it quickly. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, let go and fight with Zhao Zu. I had no choice but to make a plan and bag it with yellow sand to hide it from you. ”

Sima Terrier thought it was the grain and grass from Xianyang, and arrived at the front line on time. It turned out to be a trick set up by Wu Anjun. In order not to leak the news, Wu Anjun even concealed it from him. From this point of view, the lack of food and grass is not only Zhao Shu, but also the Qin army.

It didn't take long for a thousand commanders to come in and say in a loud voice: "As Wu Anjun expected, the Zhao army attacked Laomaling and took away my grain and grass. The last general set up an ambush and beheaded 20,000 Zhao soldiers. ”

"Good, good, good!" Bai Qijian came with good news one after another, and said: "God help me Daqin." The time for Ma Fuzi's death has arrived. ”

Seeing that the battle situation was in his own hands, Sima Terrier asked, "Wu Anjun, how should we fight next?" ”

"Attack the heart." Bai Qi said: "Ma Fuzi is also a general, but unfortunately, he is too young." If he had come down to me, I would not have been willing to kill him. ”

One person asked, "Wu Anjun means to persuade him to surrender." ”

"Although Zhao Zu is besieged by us, we want to be completely annihilated, but the troops are insufficient. Zhao Guo Handan, send troops to rescue, we are also in danger. Although Bai Qi controlled the situation, he still didn't dare to be careless, "Zhao Shu's combat strength is not weak, if he can persuade him to surrender, it will be even better." ”

Sima Terrier asked: "Zhao Zu doesn't surrender, what should I do?" ”

"Zhao Zhu doesn't descend?" Bai Qi paused for a moment, and then said: "Hundreds of thousands of living beings will be destroyed. We have another tough battle to fight! ”

The generals said loudly: "Wu Anjun don't have to worry, we have never been afraid of war." ”

"This battle has been fought for three years, and many soldiers have been killed on both sides, and enough people have died. If you can surrender Zhao without a fight, that's the best. Bai Qi's words turned sharply, full of killing, "Zhao Zu does not surrender, kill." ”

……

It is said that Ma Fuzi saw that Qin would be in vain, not only did he not flee in fright, but used himself as bait to lure the Qin army to attack. Ma Fuzi uses the art of war, 'Throw into the land of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live.' ’

When the Qin army surrounded him, he carried out counter-encirclement. Ma Fuzi believes that this is the best way to fight against Bai Qi with fierce morale.

Bai Qi appeared and changed the situation on the battlefield. Bai Qi gave the order and launched a fierce offensive against the positions of the Zhao army. Ma Fuzi occupies a favorable terrain, responds to the situation, responds in a circle, can attack, retreat can defend.

Ma Fuzi repelled one after another fierce attacks of the Qin army. However, Bai Qi ordered the Qin army to be behind the flank, besiege but not attack. Ma Fuzi mistakenly thought that Bai Qi was afraid of him and did not dare to attack. After more than ten days, the Qin army did not attack.

Ma Fuzi couldn't figure out Bai Qi's intentions, and went to attack the Qin army with a small amount of troops. The Qin army shot the Zhao army with a bow and crossbow, and had no intention of attacking. Ma Fuzi had studied Bai Qi's tactics, but he didn't expect Bai Qi to fight like this.

One of them had a broken battle armor, his face was bloody, and he cried, "Ma Fujun, we are defeated." ”

Ma Fuzi recognized that the person who came was Shi Huan, the person who attacked the Qin army's old horse ridge. Ma Fuzi asked: "My plan is seamless, why did you fail." ”

Shi Huan said: "I led the army to Laomaling and was ambushed by the Qin army. In a bloody battle, more than half of our army was killed and wounded. I led the army to fight and occupied Laomaling, and as a result..."

Ma Fuzi said in a loud voice: "What is the result?" ”

"We lost 20,000 soldiers, and the old horse ridge we occupied was an empty warehouse. The last general will see no food, grass or equipment. ”

"What do you say? Is Lao Maling an empty warehouse? Ma Fuzi was paralyzed and said in frustration: "We were deceived? 20,000 soldiers were also lost. Bai Qi is too cunning. ”

At this time, another person rushed in and shouted, "Ma Fujun, it's not good." ”

Ma Fuzi said loudly: "Say, what's wrong." ”

"The 5,000 soldiers of the Qin army burned down our army's pontoon bridges and crossing tools, cutting off the connection between our front and rear armies."

"What did you say?" Ma Fuzi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The Qin army is five thousand, and you have captured our camp on the west side of the Dan River? Burned our pontoons and river crossings? And cut off the connection between our front and rear armies? ”

"Yes."

"Nonsense." Ma Fuzi scolded: "The Qin army, but only 5,000 people, how can it be done." Are you a scout in the secret of the Qin army, just to disturb the hearts of our army. ”

"Ma Fujun, I'm not a scout of the Qin army. Our camp on the west side of the Dan River was captured by the Qin army, and the front and rear armies were also cut off. The last general will not dare to lie a word. ”

Gongsun Xiao asked, "Li Xiao is stationed in the camp on the west side of the Dan River, how is he?" ”

"After General Li fought with the Qin army, his whereabouts are unknown."

"What does Li Xiao eat?" Ma Fuzi shouted: "He has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and he can't resist the 5,000 soldiers of the Qin army." ”

One person: "Li Xiao is an old department of Lian Po, and he is also the general of the Northland." He has been dissatisfied with Ma Fujun for a long time. The fall of the camp on the west side of the Dan River was intentional by him. ”

Another person said: "Li Xiao was afraid of Qin Ruhu, and when he heard that the Qin army was coming, he was so frightened that he fled. ”

"Damn?" Ma Fuzi said angrily: "Li Xiao and other people who are greedy for life and afraid of death dare to bear me." ”

Gongsun Xiao believed that Li Xiao was by no means that kind of person, but he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what was going on, so he changed the topic and asked, "We are in the camp on the east side of the Dan River, and more than 100,000 rear troops are stationed. The Qin army came to attack, why didn't Li Su, Zhou Shao and other generals come to help. ”

"The Qin army burned down, and we crossed the river. The Dan River was so high that reinforcements could not cross it. ”

"Can't cross the river? This excuse is not convincing. Ma Fuzi snorted heavily and said: "These generals in the north are greedy for life and afraid of death. They're trying to see my fiasco! ”

Another person ran in and shouted, "Ma Fujun, it's not good." ”

Ma Fuzi said angrily: "What's the matter again." ”

"The Qin general Sima Shen, led 20,000 cavalry, converged with the Mengfu Qin army. Meng Fu held the left flank, and Sima Shen led the army to raid the boundary stone monument, detoured behind our army, and occupied the stone Great Wall. ”

When Ma Fuzi heard this, his face was shocked, and he came to Kanyutu, "The five thousand soldiers of the Qin army are the bait, and the two thousand cavalry occupy the Great Wall of Stone and cut off my way back is the real purpose of the Qin army." ”

Gongsun Xiao saw that the Qin army had occupied the Great Wall of Shi, which was equivalent to the back road being cut off, and said uneasily: "Ma Fujun, the Great Wall of Stone has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and the battle situation is extremely unfavorable to us. ”

"Don't worry, there are more than 100,000 of our troops on the west side of the Dan River, and these 20,000 Qin troops are not to be feared." Although Ma Fuzi knew that the battle situation was unfavorable, as the main general, if he was in chaos, his morale would be shaken.

Another person came and said in a loud voice: "Ma Fujun, it's not good." ”

Ma Fuzi had heard enough bad news, stabilized his mind, and asked, "Say, what's wrong." ”

"Our right flank is besieged by the Qin army."

Ma Fuzi said: "Nonsense, how can the Qin army have so many troops. ”

"Qin General Fan Yao converged with Qin General Five Doctors Wang Mausoleum and surrounded our right flank."

Seeing that the right wing had also fallen into the hands of the Qin army, Gongsun Xiao interjected: "Ma Fujun, we must not let the Qin army surround the right wing. Please ask Ma Fujun to write a letter to the defenders of Jinyang and gallop south to help. ”

Ma Fuzi asked in a low tone: "Do you think the Jinyang defenders can still gallop south to help us?" ”

Gongsun Xiao also knew that Qin Jun intended to play this game of chess, so he naturally had a backhand. Since the Qin army dared to surround their right flank, then the defenders of Jinyang were afraid that they would not be able to point out.

Gongsun Xiao saw that the left and right flanks were besieged by the Qin army, and the back road was also cut off, and the front could not break through the Qin army. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops were in danger and besieged by the Qin army.

Gongsun Xiao didn't expect the battle situation to be so bad, he took a breath of cool air, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "We are surrounded, there is no food and grass, and there are no reinforcements. Ma Fujun, what should we do next. ”

Ma Fuzi said angrily: "Bai Qi, who is killed by God, dare not fight with me, he is so despicable." ”

Gongsun Xiao saw the incident until now, and Ma Fuzi still doesn't know how to reflect on the mistakes he made. If it weren't for his arrogance, no one in his eyes, and his inability to listen to the advice of the generals, how could they have come to this point.

Some timid generals, hearing that they were surrounded, looked panicked and asked, "Ma Fujun, what should we do." ”

"Tell me what else to do." Ma Fuzi's head was blank because of the noise of these people. However, Ma Fuzi also clearly knows that there are two paths in front of him, one is to fight, to die for the country; The second is to descend and live in humiliation.

One of them snorted: "Ma Fujun, we might as well surrender to Qin." ”

One person chimed in, and the others chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes." We descend to Qin, and there is still a way to live. ”

Seeing that these people didn't have the courage to fight for their family and country, Ma Fuzi scolded coldly: "Surrender to Qin? Don't forget that we are the descendants of the Zhao family, how can we descend to Qin. ”

"We surrender to Qin, and we can still live. If you don't fall, there is only a dead end. ”

"Ma Fujun, I don't want to die!"

"Cry for what. We are not at the end of the rope. You are all Zhao men, how can you surrender to Qin in order to survive. Ma Fuzi said loudly: "I have a mother at home, as well as a wife and children. If I don't fight, I choose to surrender to Qin. Our wives and children will be laughed at and will not be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. There is no shame in dying in battle. Surrendering to Qin is a huge shame. ”
