Chapter 262: Confrontation! (2) [2-in-1]
"Bai Shuai has an order, as long as you can escape to that side, you can survive......"
In front of the Korean civilians, a general of the Qin army pointed to the military formation of the Wei and Han armies in the distance opposite, with a slightly treacherous look on his face.
Most of the ignorant Korean civilians may not know what the Qin army wants to use them for, but they also know, no, a young man immediately debunked: "You, you are trying to use us to break up the formation of the army over there......"
Hearing this, the general of the Qin army looked awe-inspired, and immediately pointed at the young man and scolded: "Kill him!" ”
At the sound of an order, several soldiers brought the young man out of the crowd and brutally killed him despite his frightened struggle.
Seeing this scene, the Korean civilians held their breath in horror and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make any more noise, let alone say anything more. Seeing this, the Qin military general nodded with satisfaction and said lightly: "Very good!" …… What will happen to the army on the other side, and what does it have to do with you and others? Do you think the army on the other side will come to your rescue? Follow Bai Shuai's order and flee over there, and you will be able to survive and survive with your loved ones...... But if anyone dares to play any tricks, then don't blame me for being ruthless......"
At this moment, a herald hurried over and whispered a few words in the general's ear.
I saw that the general nodded, glanced around at these Korean civilians, and suddenly pointed to the formation of the Wei and Han armies on the opposite side and said, "Okay, if you want to live, just follow what we just said...... Run! ”
Hearing this, the Han civilians fled in a swarm towards the formation of the Wei and Han armies, and behind them, a group of Qin soldiers and soldiers holding Changge in their hands slowly stepped forward and mercilessly slaughtered the slower Korean civilians.
Hearing the screams coming from behind them, those Korean civilians ran desperately, during which there were many people who fell halfway, but they quickly got up, their faces full of fear, for fear of being caught up by those Qin soldiers behind them.
"On the other side is our army, as long as we flee to that side, we will be safe."
Thinking of these Korean civilians, they are all thinking like this in their hearts at this moment, most of them who are ignorant probably would not have thought that their actions would put the Wei and Han armies on the opposite side into a crisis.
"Master Meng."
In front of the array of the Wei army, Sima Tang, who commanded the front army, came straight to Meng Zhong's side, lowered his voice and asked Meng Zhong for instructions: "Master Meng, once those Korean civilians break up our army's formation......"
Although Tang Zhi only said half of what he said, Meng Zhong knew very well what the former wanted to express, he looked at the Korean civilians who were rushing towards him, and then looked back at the Wei soldiers behind him, and frowned.
He knew that he couldn't hesitate, if he fell into the other party's tricks because he couldn't bear it, he was afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers behind him would be hit hard.
Thinking of this, he whispered, "I can only stand with them...... Send someone to shout at them, telling them to flee to the flank, if someone rushes straight at our formation......" At this point, he paused slightly, but finally spat out a cruel word from his mouth with difficulty: "Kill! ”
Between the Korean civilians and the Wei pawns under his command, Meng Zhong finally chose to protect the Wei pawns under his command.
"Decide!"
Tang straightened his eyebrows, looking quite appreciative.
Immediately, he turned around suddenly, waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice to the soldiers under his command: "The commander has an order, the Koreans who shouted the right words fled to the flank, if anyone rushes straight to our army's formation, kill!" ”
After saying that, he turned to Meng Zhong again and said, "Master Marshal, please retreat to the rear army first." ”
"......" finally glanced at the Korean civilians in the distance, and Meng Zhong nodded silently.
Towards the Korean civilians who were pouring in on the opposite side, the Wei soldiers in the army were also a little dispossessed in the face of this situation, but after Tang Zhi's general order was issued, they immediately stabilized, holding weapons and sticking to the formation, while shouting at the oncoming Korean civilians.
"Don't go any further!"
"If you want to escape, flee to the flank, and don't go straight to our formation!"
"Don't go any further!"
The Wei soldiers of the front army shouted one after another, but the Korean civilians on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the Qin army, and they really rushed directly towards the formation of the Wei and Han armies.
Seeing that these people were about to rush to his own formation, Tang Zhi did not relent, and immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
At the sound of the order, the crossbowmen in the army raised their crossbows one after another and shot arrows at the Korean civilians in front of them.
For a while, arrows rained down, pitying those Korean civilians, and hundreds of people died under the arrows immediately.
The movements on Wei Jun's side naturally couldn't hide from Han Jun's eyes.
Beside the kite, a guard immediately whispered to the kite: "Da Sima, the Wei army has shot arrows over there......
The kite's face was full of anger and he didn't say a word.
Of course, he was not angry that the Wei army shot his Korean civilians, after all, in his opinion, this was his own civilians seeking their own death: do you guys really not know that attacking your own army is helping the Qin army in disguise?
"Archery! Force those civilians to flee to the outside! ”
Storm Kite gave a decisive order.
The so-called "outside" refers to the right flank (west) of the Korean army, and it turns out that at this moment, the Wei and Han armies are arrayed on the left and right sides, with the Wei army in the east and the Korean army in the west.
Even if he had mercy on the civilians of his own country on the other side, at this moment, the violent kite would never let these people attack the formation of his own Wei and Han armies, even if he fled to the gap between his Wei and Han armies—who knew if this group of civilians who were frightened by the Qin people would blindly disturb the formation of his Wei and Han armies.
"Da Sima has an order, release the arrow! Force those civilians to flee to the right! ”
As the order of the storm kite was issued in the army, the crossbowmen of the South Korean army also raised their crossbows and shot arrows at the civilians of their country on the opposite side.
The ruthlessness of the Wei and Han armies plunged the Korean civilians who were fleeing to them into despair.
Why?
Why did the army of Wei, and even the army of my Korea, attack us?
Shouldn't they come to our rescue?
"Help Me ......"
"Don't ......"
Many Korean civilians cried, but the Wei and Han armies showed no mercy, and any civilians who dared to go straight to their formations were shot mercilessly.
Perhaps there are many Korean civilians who have not figured out until they die, and have not understood why the Wei and Korean armies attacked them.
Suddenly, one of the Korean civilians shouted, "Flee to the west, the army on the other side orders us to flee to the west." ”
These words seemed to awaken the desire of the Korean civilians to survive, and these people finally calmed down, bypassed the front, and fled to the west side of the Korean army on the opposite side.
"Bypassed, those civilians bypassed......"
Immediately, a soldier said to the tyrannical.
Seeing this, the storm kite also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, those people were all civilians of his own country, if he didn't have to do it, how could he kill these civilians of his own country?
I took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to them!" Hold the formation, the Qin army is coming! ”
Sure enough, after those Korean civilians circled to the west, behind these people, the figures of the Qin soldiers were revealed, and these Qin soldiers all slowly stepped forward calmly and launched an offensive towards the Korean army.
The front army is engaged!
Due to the consumption of several waves of arrows on those Korean civilians, the crossbowmen of the Korean army did not have time to load the crossbow arrows and launched an arrow attack on the Qin soldiers who rushed in front of them, which made the Qin soldiers on the opposite side kill the Korean army at a small price.
I have to say that this is quite rare in the confrontation between the Qin and Korean armies, if it is changed to a normal day, the soldiers of the Qin army want to rush to the South Korean army, which is famous for its crossbows, it is bound to pay a heavy price.
And this time, the Qin army really took a big advantage.
"Humph! Despicable tricks! Do you think you can gain an advantage with such a despicable trick? Wishful thinking!'
Storm Kite looked at the Qin army on the opposite side with disdain.
In his opinion, even if the Qin army played some despicable tricks, it was destined to be defeated by their Wei and Han forces.
At the same time, the front army of the Wei army had also engaged the Qin army, but as the current de facto commander of the Wei army, Meng Zhong's mind was not on the battlefield, his eyes were fixed on those Korean civilians from beginning to end.
In all fairness, from the perspective of success or failure alone, Qin Jun, no, Bai Qi's trick is still quite effective, but the problem is that this trick is only useful for those generals who have blind mercy regardless of the occasion, so why does Bai Qi conclude that this trick can be used against him and the tyrant?
And what made Meng Zhong even more puzzled was that neither he nor the violent kite let Bai Qi's trick succeed, in this case, Bai Qi not only did not order the withdrawal of troops, but continued to urge the Qin army under his command to take the initiative to attack his Wei and Han armies, I have to say, Meng Zhong couldn't figure it out - obviously that despicable trick didn't succeed, didn't it? Then why did Bai Qi think that he could defeat his Wei-Han coalition army? Where did he get the courage?
Is it Bai Qi breaking the can, or does he still have a back move?
To be honest, Meng Zhong didn't know Bai Qi very well, but no matter how the two had already fought several times, he also had a rough judgment about Bai Qi: this is a very calm opponent.
Since he was such a calm opponent, how could he blindly think that a few Korean civilians alone would be enough to break up the formation of his Wei and Han armies?
Unless there's a trick!
If this is the case, this trick will undoubtedly be among those Korean civilians......
"Brother, be careful......"
Meng Ao, who was driving the chariot, suddenly saw his brother standing on the railing of the chariot, climbing high and looking into the distance.
"Hmm."
Answering casually, Meng Zhong's eyes were fixed on the Korean civilians in the distance, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong with the situation.
Suddenly, his complexion changed slightly.
"I see......"
After coming to his senses, Meng Zhong immediately said to Rong Yi: "Rong Yi, you immediately send someone to remind the ...... of the tyrant kite."
Speaking of this, he didn't know what he saw, so he said "tsk" in his mouth, and changed his words: "It's too late, send someone to inform the storm kite, if it can't be violated, quickly retreat and regroup!" In addition, he ordered Sima Fei Hui of the Chinese army, and ordered the sergeants of the latter to immediately face the direction of the Korean army to guard against the Qin army from the west! ”
"Coming from the west? Could it be that the Han army will be defeated by the Qin army?'
Rong Yan was very puzzled in his heart, but seeing that Meng Zhong's face was full of solemnity, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to convey the order.
It wasn't until after sending a sergeant to give the order that he asked Meng Zhongdao in a low voice: "Senior commander, why did you conclude that the Qin army would attack from the direction of the Korean army?" ”
Hearing this, Meng Zhong explained with a solemn expression: "You see those Korean civilians, most of them are dragged with their families, men, women and children, but those at the back of the team are mostly strong men......"
Rong Yan was not stupid, and said in surprise when he heard this: "Shi Shuai is saying that those Korean civilians are mixed with the soldiers of the Qin army? ”
"Hmm!"
Meng Zhong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Asking those Korean civilians to break up our army's formation, this is just Bai Qi deliberately asking our army to think so, he actually guessed that neither I nor the violent kite would show mercy, and it would inevitably force those Korean civilians to flee to both wings, and this was exactly what he wanted...... It seems that right now, whether it is a violent kite or the Han army under its command, everyone's attention on the Korean army is on the Qin army directly in front of them, they would not have expected that a Qin army has pretended to be civilians and quietly come to their flank, once this Qin army launches a sneak attack, the Korean army will fall into a situation of being attacked on both sides......"
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the Chinese army of the Korean army.
"Storm kite, wake up quickly, don't be blinded by anger, those civilians are mixed with the soldiers of the Qin army......
Standing on the railing of the chariot, Meng Zhong thought to himself.
But unfortunately, as Meng Zhong judged, Storm Kite didn't think of this layer at all, and at this moment he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to break the Qin army in front of him, and capture the commander of the Qin army called Bai Qi to sacrifice the flag, in order to retaliate against this person's despicable means of coercing his Korean civilians to go to the battlefield.
He was thinking like this when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering shout from behind his right.
"What?"
He subconsciously turned his head, and was immediately shocked to see a fight breaking out on the right side of his army.
"How is that possible?"
A few traces of astonishment flashed in the heart of the storm kite, how could a fight break out on his right wing? How could the Qin army go around their right rear under the noses of his 20,000 soldiers?
"Wait! It's those civilians! There are soldiers of the Qin army mixed in with those civilians!'
Storm Kite is worthy of being no less famous than Gongsun Xi, although he was blinded by anger for a while, he still judged things quite accurately, and guessed the reason at once.
But unfortunately, even if he guessed the truth of the matter at this time, his Korean army had already lost the opportunity, and those Qin soldiers who were mixed with the Korean civilians took advantage of the Korean army's inattention to launch a sneak attack.
How did the soldiers of the Han army think that there would be soldiers of the Qin army among those civilians, they were defenseless, and they couldn't stop the offensive of the Qin army's "strange soldiers" on the right side, and they were killed by the latter in the blink of an eye.
"Report!"
The soldiers with the herald hurriedly ran in front of the storm kite, and reported with their fists folded: "Da Sima, those civilians are mixed with the soldiers of the Qin army, they ......"
"The old man is not blind, see it!"
The storm kite angrily ordered, "Stop them!" Block them! ”
As soon as the words fell, another shout of killing broke out in front of him, and immediately, the Qin army launched a more ferocious offensive.
In the blink of an eye, the front army of the Han army was broken by the Qin army.
The front army was broken, and the Chinese army was attacked by the surprise soldiers of the Qin army, and for a while, the Korean army was defeated and retreated.
"Damn it! Order Han Zu to block the Qin army in front of him! Death must be stopped! …… told Zhu Hu of the Chinese army, doesn't he always brag about how brave he is on weekdays? Stop those Qin troops pretending to be civilians for me, or I will ask him to come and see him!" ”
The tyrannical kite gave the order in a frustrated manner.
Seeing that his side fell into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye, how could he not be in a hurry?
You must know that his Han army is flanked by the Wei army, and if his Han army is defeated, it will inevitably implicate the Wei army.
However, it is a pity that even though the storm kite has tried to remedy it at the first time, it still cannot make up for its previous mistakes, and the two Qin armies, one in front and one on the right, quickly killed his Chinese army, and gathered his troops in one place and launched an offensive in the direction of the Wei army.
"It's over......
At that moment, the storm kite was in despair.
He never thought that in his life, he would be played with by a little hairy boy named Bai Qi, and even implicated Wei Jun.
At the same time, Meng Yi, the general of the Qin army, was full of joy.
Even he didn't expect that this sneak attack on the South Korean army would be so easy.
"It's worthy of Bai Shuai!"
With a secret praise in his heart, Meng Yi, who commanded the Qin soldiers to fight on the front line, did not hesitate to give the order to attack the Wei army: "Bai Shuai has an order, don't entangle with the Han army, and immediately attack the Wei army!" As long as the Wei army is defeated, it will be the victory of our army! ”
"Oh, oh, oh-"
Countless Qin soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and after breaking through the front and middle armies of the Han army, they immediately turned around and launched an offensive towards the Wei army from the direction of the Han army's formation.
I have to say that this tactic is similar to the "Battle of Pushang" back then.
In that year, the famous general of the Qin State and the famous general Tian Zhang of the Qi State fought in Pushui, due to the opposition of the Song army in the Qi army's camp, Ying Ji was able to take the lead in launching an offensive against the Qi army from the side, resulting in the defeat of Tian Zhang, which became the only rout in the latter's life.
The difference is only that Tian Zhang's defeat at the beginning was mainly because he did not expect that the Song army had secretly reached an agreement with the Qin army, so that he suddenly retreated in the decisive battle, so that Tian Zhang's Qi army completely exposed the flank of the empty defense, which was taken advantage of by the famous general of the Qin State; And this time, Bai Qi used a trick to sneak attack the Han army, causing the Korean army to collapse, and then giving the Qin army a valuable opportunity to sneak attack the weak flank of the Wei army.
However, when the Qin general Meng Yi was ecstatic and led his army to cut through the formation of the Korean army and rushed to the array of the Wei army, he was shocked to find that the Chinese army of the Wei army, for some reason, had set up a formation facing them.
"Ho ho ho, that's a ......"
In the middle military department of the Wei army, the military Sima Fei Hui looked at the Qin army that had broken the Korean army in the distance with a little surprise.
A moment ago, he received an order from Meng Zhong, the commander-in-chief of the army, ordering his Chinese army to immediately turn around, and everyone faced the direction of the Korean army.
At that time, Fei Hui felt inexplicable about this, after all, in his opinion, it was impossible for the Han army to betray them, and it should not be so easily broken by the Qin army, but out of trust in Meng Zhong, he still immediately gave the order.
As a result, as soon as his soldiers turned the direction of the garrison, the Qin army killed the Han army.
So what are you waiting for?
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Fei Hui's order, the Wei soldiers in the army shot waves of arrows towards the oncoming Qin army.
Seeing this, the Qin general Meng Yi secretly cursed in his heart, but now, even if the Wei army was already on guard, he could only bite the bullet.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Qin army, who had penetrated the Korean army, rushed to the front line of the Wei army under the rain of arrows and engaged the Wei army.
However, due to the fact that the Wei army had already taken precautions in advance, this Qin army had no way to break through the Wei army's formation.
"If it weren't for him, I'm afraid our army would have suffered heavy losses this time......
Glancing at the Qin troops coming from the west, Fei Hui turned his head and glanced at the direction of the main flag in the army, and thought secretly in his heart.
Well, the old commander Xiwu must be unmatched-this is the consensus of all the generals of the Hedong Wei Army in the army, even if they have already wavered in their hearts.
But now the commander in his army called Meng Zhong is really powerful, and having this person in the army is like saying that word - invulnerable!
In contrast, the coach on the side of the South Korean army......
Glancing at the Han army that had collapsed in formation, Fei Hui shook his head slightly.
"It's too embarrassing, isn't it? That's it, what else do you say to give me Wei Jun as a pioneer? ”
He muttered quietly.
At this time, some soldiers quickly reported the recent situation of the Wei army to the storm kite: "Report! The Qin army, which broke our army, was blocked by the Wei army! ”
"Blocked, blocked?"
Upon hearing the news, Storm Kite's eyes widened in surprise.
Before he could react, several Wei soldiers came to him, clasped their fists and said: "Tyrant Shuai, Master Meng ordered me to come and interrogate, your army's momentum has been discharged, it is better to retreat a little, reorganize the formation, and my Wei army will block it for a while......"
Hearing this, the old kite blushed slightly, and was speechless in embarrassment.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "Please be sure to tell Brother Meng, this time you almost implicated your army, it is really ......."
"Master Meng said that the two armies of Wei and Han joined hands to resist the Qin State, and there was no need to subdivide each other."
"Yes, yes."
Nodding again and again, with a somewhat embarrassed expression, the storm kite gave the order to retreat two miles and reorganize the formation.
Under his orders, the Han army quickly broke away from the battlefield and slowly retreated, leaving the Wei army alone on the battlefield to resist the offensive of the Qin army from both the west and the south at the same time.
What made Storm Kite feel quite relieved was that even though the Wei army was attacked on both sides, its momentum did not decrease at all.
Also, after all, the strength of the Wei army here is almost the same as that of the Qin army, as long as it is not attacked by the Qin army like the Han army, the Qin army has almost no chance of defeating the Wei army.
After all, in terms of the quality of the non-commissioned officers of the two armies, the Wei soldiers on the Wei army's side are much stronger than the Qin army.
A moment later, the situation on the battlefield quickly reached the ears of Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army.
After learning the exact news, even Bai Qi showed a look of surprise: "What? The Wei army blocked the offensive of our army from the west? ”
"Yes, for some reason, the Wei army guessed the intention of our army in advance, and before General Meng Yi chiseled through the Korean army to launch an offensive against the Wei army, the Wei pawns of the Wei army in the middle of the Wei army all turned to face the west, so that General Meng Yi failed to sneak attack......"
"Unexpectedly ......"
Frowning, Bai Qi raised his head to look at Wei Jun in the distance, and couldn't help but think of Meng Zhong's appearance again.
"White Shuai ......"
From the side, there may be generals with a sad face.
Seeing this, Bai Qi showed a slight smile on his face, and smiled indifferently: "Haha, I was actually recognized by Wei Jun, I really underestimated Wei Jun." …… But even so, our army was not unable to achieve victory! ”
Hearing Bai Qi's confident words, the soldiers of the Qin Army beside him couldn't help but have high morale.
After all, their manager's record is obvious to all.
However, only Bai Qi knew that his Qin army had gone far in this battle - in this war, his Qin army failed to successfully attack the Wei army, and it was already doomed that it would be impossible to reverse the victory or defeat.
"Meng Zhong ......"
He exhaled slowly, staring at Wei Jun in the distance, and a slightly complicated look slowly appeared in his eyes.
『…… My great enemy.'"
