At the right moment, about thirty miles north of the main camp of the Wei army, Bai Qi and Ji Hong and 50,000 Qin soldiers under their command were all hiding in the nearby hills and woods, gnawing on dry food that was difficult to swallow, while quietly waiting for the time to raid the Wei camp. {with}{dream} щww{suimеng][com}

After a short time, when the water was full of food and water, Bai Qi stood up and commanded: "It's almost time, let's go!" ”

"Whoa!"

Under Bai Qi's order, 50,000 Qin soldiers silently packed up their weapons and dry food and quickly assembled.

At this moment, their mood is extremely heavy.

Because he had already learned what was going to happen next: that is, their 50,000 people, under the leadership of the commander Bai Qi, would attack the main camp of the 180,000 Wei army!

With 50,000 men raiding the 180,000 Wei army, it is not difficult to guess that this must be a vicious battle with great disadvantages, but these Qin soldiers had no choice.

Deserter?

Inexistent!

Shang Jun Wei Ying's "Lian Sitting Law" basically eliminated the possibility of desertion at the level of military non-commissioned officers, because the soldiers would monitor each other under the threat of the "Lian Sitting Law", after all, it was clearly stipulated in the "Painting Strategy" of the "Shang Jun Shu": if one of them escapes, the other four are being punished.

Under the threat of the "Lian Sitting", even the Qin soldiers did not allow deserters to appear in Tongze, if anyone dared to escape, the soldiers who were with him would be killed first, after all, although the soldiers of the same army were killed in battle, the other four people would also be punished, but the punishment of "fighting and dying in battle with the soldiers" was much lighter than "fleeing with the soldiers", and only one additional enemy soldier was needed to compensate.

And this is the reason why there are very few deserters in the Qin soldiers' strokes.

"Rustle—"

"Rustle—"

50,000 Qin soldiers, solemn and silent, under the leadership of Bai Qi, Ji Hong and other generals, hurried straight to the main camp of the Wei army.

At this time, looking closely at the 50,000 Qin soldiers, I saw that they were expressionless one by one, and even had a bit of determination in their eyes, as if they had put life and death out of the way.

Because they all knew very well that they would launch a surprise attack on the 180,000 Wei army next.

If they can't defeat the 180,000 Wei army and win, there will be only one way to die - if they can't wait for the Qin State to punish them, they will be frantically slaughtered by the 180,000 Wei army, and finally the whole army will be annihilated.

This is a surprise attack with no way back!

If they are defeated, they will be killed by the Wei army, and even if they are lucky enough to escape back to Qin, they will still be punished by Qin.

The only way to win!

Defeat the 180,000 Wei army and win this war!

"Very good, very good momentum......

After glancing around at the Qin pawns behind him, Bai Qi took a deep breath.

I have to say that the pressure in his heart at this moment is no less than those Qin soldiers behind him, because he knows very well that if he can't defeat the Wei army in one breath today, his Qin army will be defeated, and even Xincheng and Yiyang will be captured by the Wei and Han coalition forces.

He himself will also be severely punished, with the slightest punishment being cut off and tattooed on his face; Executed at the worst, or even divided into five horses, just like the Shang Jun Wei Martingale back then.

As soon as I was nervous, the arrow wound in my left shoulder also came with a burst of pain again.

Bai Qi raised his hand to cover his left shoulder, and let out a long breath, he didn't believe in the power of ghosts and gods in the past, but at this moment he couldn't help but secretly pray to the gods, praying that God would protect the Qin army and help him Qin army defeat the 180,000 Wei army.

At the same time, in the tent of the main camp of the Wei camp, the commander of the Wei army, Gongsun Xi, still did not know that the commander of the Qin army, Bai Qi, was about to lead 50,000 Qin soldiers to launch a surprise attack on his main camp from the north without leaving the slightest retreat.

While drinking and chatting, suddenly a guard entered the tent and reported: "Xiwu, there is a division commander Meng Zhong outside the tent who asks to see you." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Gongsun Xi's face suddenly fell, and he gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "It's this annoying boy again!" He doesn't make me feel comfortable for a moment. ”

"Xi Wu has said it." Gongsun Zhu said with a smile when he heard this, and then ordered the guard: "Please come in." ”

Diametrically opposed to Gongsun Xi's attitude towards Meng Zhong, Gongsun Zhu had a very good impression of Meng Zhong, after all, in his opinion, Meng Zhong knew advance and retreat, and knew the world, unless he touched his bottom line, this young general would not do anything contrary to his identity.

What's more important is that this young man is very close to Duan Gan's clan and Xihe Confucianism, and it is appropriate to be the powerful people around the crown prince Wei Yu in the future - don't look at Xue Gongtian Wen is still in the Wei State now, but in fact, Gongsun Xi is not optimistic about Tian Wen.

After only a few breaths, Meng Zhong stepped in from outside the tent, and after seeing the number of people in the tent, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Meng Zhong, I have seen Xiwu, I have seen Gongsun Junjun." ”

"Humph!" Gongsun Xi snorted lightly, his face full of impatience.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhu smiled and said, "Master Meng came to ask to see Xi Wu at this moment, what is the important matter?" ”

"Exactly."

Meng Zhong nodded, and said with a straight face: "A moment ago, the army Sima Tang sent someone to inform him, saying that since the army under his command was stationed on the east bank of the water yesterday, the traces of the Qin army were found on the west bank of the river......

Hearing this, Gongsun Xi was about to pick up the vegetables, and turned his head to look at Meng Zhong with a suspicious face.

It was no wonder, after all, Tang Zhi could not have alarmed Gongsun Xi because of the sacrifice of the twelve scouts, unless he found out how many Qin troops were hiding on the west side of the water.

Frowning, Gongsun Xi snorted coldly and said, "Yo, you really expected that?" …… What's the matter, are you here to embarrass the old man? ”

"Xiwu misunderstood."

Meng Zhong shook his head and continued to explain: "Although the scouts sent by Sima of the Tang Zhijun ran into the scouts of the Qin army, but they did not find the Qin army, according to what the Sima of the Tang Zhijun said, he can be sure that there must be an army of the Qin State hiding on the west bank of the Luoshui. That's weird...... If the Qin army is really in the area of Luoshui, then their intention must be to cross the Luoshui to attack the main camp of our army, but the strange thing is that from yesterday to today, Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge have not been attacked by the Qin army, and the other party has allowed them to continue to build camps...... Therefore, it was concluded that the Qin army had changed its strategy halfway and decided to bypass Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge on the east bank of the Luoshui River and attack the main camp of our army from the north side. ”

“……”

Gongsun Xi and Gongsun Zhi glanced at each other, and they both felt a little surprised.

Originally, Gongsun Xi thought that Meng Zhong was deliberately coming to embarrass him this time, but he didn't expect that Meng Zhong actually suspected that the Qin army would sneak attack them from the north, so he came here for this.

"North ......"

After pondering for a moment, Gongsun Xi frowned and asked, "Meng Zhong, do you know where the north of Yique is?" ”

"Yes." Meng Zhong nodded and said, "It is the royal capital of the Western Zhou Kingdom, Luoyang, where Zhou Tianzi is located. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head: "But so what? There was no rule that the army of the Qin State could not pass through the Western Zhou State to sneak up on our back. ”

“……”

Gongsun Xi was speechless, frowning and weighing Meng Zhong's words in his heart.

I have to say that Gongsun Xi intuitively didn't believe in Meng Zhong's judgment, and the reason was very simple: how much courage and courage did the Qin army need to dare to sneak attack the north side of his Wei army's main camp in a big circle?

I remember that two days ago, when Meng Zhong proposed that the Qin army might attack his Wei army's main camp from the west side, Gongsun Xi let Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge move to Luoshui, because he felt that this matter was still a bit possible - after all, from the way of retreat, he thought that once the Qin army failed to attack his main camp, he could still withdraw to Yiyang.

But today, Meng Zhong said that it was possible for the Qin army to sneak attack them from the north, how could this be possible?

If the Qin army really dared to do this, as long as his main camp blocked the Qin army, and then sent someone to inform Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge to cut off the return route of the Qin army, his 180,000 Wei army could surround the Qin army that came to sneak attack in the Yique area, in this case, the Qin army that came to sneak attack must be wiped out - how stupid are the Qin people to come up with this kind of sneak attack plan of nine deaths and one life?

After thinking about it, Gongsun Xi still felt that this matter was impossible.

He smiled and said, "Meng Zhong, I think you overestimate the Qin army too much. …… Maybe just like you thought before, the Qin army may have really wanted to attack our army from Luoshui, but seeing Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge stationed there, the Qin army retreated......"

"Rhinovu." Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "You are willing to admit that the Qin army may have originally wanted to attack our army from Luoshui, which is no better, then I dare to ask, why did the Qin army attack our army from Luoshui?" ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun Xi was stunned by Meng Zhong's question.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong said to himself: "The Qin army ignored the 100,000 Han troops and went around to Luoshui to try to sneak attack the main camp of our army, does this mean that the Qin army has realized that blindly defending will only lead to defeat, and only by attacking our army by surprise and taking the lead in breaking my 180,000 Wei army can they have a slight chance of victory?" …… On the premise of knowing this, just because Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge were stationed in Yushui, the Qin army knew the difficulty and retreated? Still blindly sticking to it, and finally ushering in a doomed defeat? …… Or did they decide to go around to the north side of our army and continue to launch a sneak attack on the main camp of our army without alarming Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge? Which of the two does Xi Wu think is more likely? ”

“……”

Gongsun Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand when he heard this, and stroked his beard to think about Meng Zhong's words.

On the side, Gongsun Zhu nodded and said, "Xi Wu, I think Master Meng's words are very reasonable. …… The Qin army only has more than 100,000 people, while our coalition army has 300,000, and the only way to blindly defend is to be defeated. Since the Qin army has decided to gain an advantage by taking the lead in attacking our army, it is impossible to give up lightly because of some obstacles......"

Gongsun Xi nodded thoughtfully, frowned and said, "In that case, I will ask Dou Xing and Wei Qing to lead 20,000 troops to garrison the north......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a soldier hurrying into the tent.

Meng Zhong turned his head to take a look, only to see that the soldier's face was full of panic, and he chuckled in his heart, secretly saying that something was wrong.

Sure enough, I saw that the soldier saluted Gongsun Xi with a fist, and said eagerly: "Qi Xi Wu, the north camp of our army has been attacked, and a Qin army that came out of nowhere has entered the north camp and is killing the middle camp......

Hearing this, Xi Wu sat up straight in shock.

"It's ......"

I saw him glance at Meng Zhong and muttered in disbelief, "How dare you really attack from the north?" ”

From the side, Gongsun Jian hurriedly said: "Xiwu, immediately order to resist!" Don't let the Qin army break into the camp! ”

Gongsun Xi nodded, turned his head to Gongsun Du of the guards and said, "Immediately send an order to the whole army, and ask Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui and others to lead their respective soldiers to resist the invading Qin army." …… Then he sent someone to send an order to Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, ordering one of them to defend Luoshui, and the other to lead the army to the north to cut off the return route to the north of the Qin army. ”

With that, he glanced at Meng Zhong.

Meng Zhong didn't react for a while, but Gongsun Zhu, who was beside him, understood what Gongsun Xi meant, and asked, "Master Meng, do you have any opinions on this?" ”

"You were asking for my opinion......

Meng Zhong suddenly realized that Gongsun Xi looked at him with a look in his eyes, and he was embarrassed to ask his opinion.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "For the time being, I can only do this first......"

Hearing this, Gongsun Xi waved his hand at Gongsun Du: "Go!" ”

"Whoa!"

Gongsun Du hugged his fists and turned to leave.

Subsequently, Gongsun Xi and Gongsun Du also stepped into the tent and looked at the direction of Beiying.

It is a pity that this Wei camp is a camp with more than 100,000 people stationed in the camp after all, and standing on the side of the commander of the Chinese army, he can't see the situation on the north camp side at all, and can only vaguely hear some shouts of killing from the north camp.

In desperation, Gongsun Xi could only send all the guards around him out and send them to Beiying to check the movement.

At the same time, Bai Qi and Ji Hong had already led 50,000 Qin soldiers to attack the north camp of the main camp of the Wei army, killing and setting fire everywhere.

"Can't stop, can't stop ......"

"Damn, where did these Qin soldiers come from? How can there be so many people? ”

"Block! Block them! ”

In the noisy voices, a general named Wei led the Wei soldiers who gathered in a hurry, desperately resisting the Qin soldiers in front of him like a tide, but more Wei soldiers were in chaos under the onslaught of the Qin army.

It's no wonder, after all, at this point in time, the soldiers in the Wei army have finished dinner and have returned to their respective tents to rest, where did they expect that there were 50,000 Qin soldiers attacking from the north, so that at this time on the side of the North Camp, the generals could not find the Wei soldiers under their command, and the Wei soldiers could not find their own main generals, it was simply a plate of loose sand, how could this resist the attack of the Qin army?

Not to mention that at this moment, in order to survive, the 50,000 Qin soldiers were eager to break the Wei soldiers in front of them, which made them play a level far beyond usual.

"Bai Shuai! The Wei army is defenseless, and our army will win this battle! ”

Ji Hong said to Bai Qi with joy on his face.

I have to say that this time he followed Bai Qi to attack the main camp of the Wei army at night, Ji Hong can be said to have put life and death aside, but he never expected that the process of attacking the Wei camp at night would be so smooth - the Wei army did not expect them to attack from the north at all, so that his Qin army attacked the north camp without much effort.

Hearing this, Bai Qi also showed a slight smile on his face, but he warned: "Don't underestimate the enemy, the Wei army in this camp has at least 150,000 troops, if the Wei army reorganizes the formation, our army's advantage at this moment will be immediately lost...... Don't let up! ”

After saying that, he restrained his smile and ordered in a deep voice: "Attack the middle camp immediately!" ”

"Whoa!"

Ji Hong clenched his fists and took his life.

Under Bai Qi's order, the 50,000 Qin troops did not stay too long in the northern camp and immediately launched a fierce attack on the middle camp of the Wei camp.

The elite of Hedong under the command of poor Gongsun Xi did not have time to gather in a hurry, so that they were killed by the Qin army and retreated.

In just half an hour, the Qin army under Bai Qi attacked the middle camp and killed people everywhere and set fires everywhere.

This situation reached Gongsun Xi's ears, and Gongsun Xi's face turned pale.

"Report! The Qin army attacked the middle camp, and Xu Baojun Sima was killed! ”

"Report! The army under the command of Wei Yujun Sima was routed by the Qin army......"

"Report ......"

The dangers in the camp were constantly sent to Gongsun Xi's side.

"How so...... Is that so?'

Looking at the monstrous fire in Beiying, and listening to the earth-shattering shouts and killing sounds coming from the north side of Zhongying, Gongsun Xi's face turned pale and he stood still.

Excluding the 20,000 Wei troops of Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, there are still about 160,000 Wei troops in this battalion, and nearly 100,000 of them are Wei soldiers.

Are you kidding!

If it is placed on weekdays, even if more than 100,000 Qin troops come to attack, it is not enough for the 100,000 Hedong elites under his command to kill!

However, at this time, the elite of Hedong under his command was easily killed by the Qin army because of their hasty response to the battle, when they could not exert their due strength at all.

"Rhinovu!"

Seeing Gongsun Xi's sluggish face, Meng Zhong originally wanted to wake up the main general, but he didn't expect Gongsun Ji to be one step ahead of him: "If even you have lost your fighting spirit, how can you fight this battle?" After all, our army has more than 100,000 soldiers, even if the Qin army has taken the lead, as long as the situation can be stabilized, our side still has a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”

"Yes, yes......"

Gongsun was happy to wake up like a dream, and nodded again and again.

Yes, there were 160,000 Wei troops in this camp after all, and even if 60,000 were killed by the Qin army, there were still 100,000, which was more than enough to resist the invading Qin army.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xi immediately pulled out the sword at his waist and led Gongsun Zhu, Meng Zhong and others straight to the north side of the middle camp.

At this time, on the north side of the middle camp, Gongsun Xi's generals Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Fei Hui and other military Sima Zheng led the Wei soldiers to resist desperately.

"Dou Xing, how is the battle?"

Gongsun Xi shouted from afar.

"Rhinovu?"

Dou Xing glanced back, and when Gongsun Xi approached, he clenched his fists and said: "The northern camp has been completely captured by the enemy, and at present, the three battalions of the western, middle, and eastern camps have been attacked by the Qin army at the same time, among which the Qin army's attack on our middle camp is the most fierce......"

"Has Beiying fallen?"

Gongsun's vertical face changed slightly.

He is the commander of the rear battalion, and according to the current deployment of the Wei army, the rear camp is the north camp, where the grain and grass of the 180,000 Wei army are stacked, and now, the Qin army has set fire to the north camp, which means that even if his Wei army can repel the Qin army in this night attack, the loss of grain and grass and baggage is immeasurable.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Gongsun Zhu has no time to feel sorry for those grains and grasses, after all, the situation on the side of the middle camp is also precarious, and if it is not good, even the middle camp will be broken by the Qin army.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a burst of earth-shattering shouts broke out in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the battle line formed by the soldiers under the command of Wei General Fei Hui was broken through by the Qin army, and countless Qin soldiers rushed towards this side regardless of their lives and fearless of life and death.

"Damn it!"

Gongsun Xi scolded and roared angrily: "Haven't the soldiers of the southern camp arrived yet?!" ”

There was no answer around, and it was clear that the Wei army in the southern camp had not yet arrived.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xi could only order the Wei soldiers here to desperately resist the oncoming Qin army.

"Report!" A soldier hurriedly ran over, clasped his fists and said: "Qi Xi Wu, the Qin army in Xiangshan launched a surprise attack on our camp, Zheng Zheng and Cai Wu are resisting desperately, but there are Qin troops in the north and Qin troops in the east, and the east camp is attacked on both sides, begging Xiwu to send reinforcements!" ”

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements to take?! I can't stop it! ”

Gongsun Xi scolded and said angrily: "Ask Zheng Zheng and Cai Wu to fight to the death to block the Qin army!" ”

“…… Here. ”

The soldiers who came to report the news left reluctantly.

"Qin Army of Xiangshan...... Since even the Qin army in Xiangshan crossed Yishui to raid our army, it seems that the Qin army will not break our army's oath tonight...... From this point of view, Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge on the west side are probably also being dragged by the Qin army at this moment...... It's like being attacked on three sides, isn't that good......

Meng Zhong turned his head to look in the direction of the east, and immediately looked at the Qin pawns in front of him, his brows furrowed.

At first, he thought that there might be only one Qin army to launch a night attack on them, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be a general attack on them by hundreds of thousands of Qin troops.

Although his Wei army had a numerical advantage, considering that the opportunity had been lost, it was not necessarily able to block this wave of offensive.

"That's it...... I'm afraid I can't stop it.'"

Meng Zhong thought secretly.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, the eastern camp was broken by the Qin army, and the Qin army that attacked the eastern camp did not stop, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the middle camp, which made the pressure on the middle camp even greater.

After learning the bad news, Gongsun Xi was shocked and angry.

Suddenly, he thought of the 100,000 Han troops in the south of Yique Mountain, and hurriedly said to Gongsun Du of the Guard: "Quick, immediately send someone to ask for help from the Han army!" ”

"Han Jun?"

Meng Zhong was slightly stunned, and immediately a tactic immediately appeared in his heart, a tactic that could reverse the disadvantage.

"Rhinovu!" Seeing that Meng Zhong interrupted Gongsun Xi's words, Zhengse said: "Instead of asking the Han army for help, it is better to ask the Han army to attack Xincheng immediately." …… According to my guess, tonight is probably a full-scale night attack by more than 100,000 Qin troops on our army, since the Qin army is here, presumably the main camp of the Qin army and the new city, including Yiyang, are all empty of garrisons, so the Han army can immediately take the opportunity to take the new city. As for our army, anyway, we have already lost the baggage, grain and grass in the northern camp, so it is better to simply retreat to Yique Mountain, take advantage of the terrain of Yique Mountain to resist the Qin army, and wait for tomorrow after dawn, regroup and fight with the Qin army, wouldn't it be better than rushing to fight now? …… Although our army was defeated for a while and lost a military camp, the coalition army could harvest a new city, and it was possible to seize Yiyang by taking advantage of the situation, losing one battalion and gaining two cities. …… On the other hand, the Qin army, although it gained one battalion and lost two cities, when he waited, we held the new city and Yiyang, and the Qin army here was the turtle in the urn, which could be captured at your fingertips! ”

Hearing Meng Zhong's words, Gongsun Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Good plan!" Xi Wu, it is better to follow what Meng Shishuai said......"

“……”

A hint of struggle flashed across Xi Wu's face.

It is undeniable that he also thinks that Meng Zhong's plan is really good, but it ...... Do you want to set off the violent kite with the rout of his Gongsun Xi, and use the sacrifice of his Wei army to create an advantage for the Han army?

If there were too many casualties among the Wei army under his command this time, how would the King of Wei view him?

The 180,000 Wei army was defeated by the Qin army, and even the main camp was captured by the Qin army, but the violent kite was able to capture Xincheng and Yiyang at the sacrifice of his Wei army?

Whether it was for the sake of Wei or for himself, Gongsun Xi could not accept Meng Zhong's proposal.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xi said in a deep voice: "No! Defend the camp and ask for help from the South Korean army! ”

“……”

The surprise on Gongsun Zhu's face gradually disappeared.

And Meng Zhong also frowned at Gongsun Xi at this moment.

『…… Gongsun likes this person, his selfishness is too heavy! I don't know how many of the 180,000 Wei troops will be left after tonight."

With a long exhalation, Meng Zhong thought secretly.
