Weinan, as the name suggests, is the south of Weishui, at the same time as the Qin State fell to Longxi, another part of the Qin army stretched out its hand here, so there was a conflict with the Wubian tribe who had lived in the Weishui area for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as Bitatu, the patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe, realized the threat of Wei, the patriarch of the Wubian tribe, Chelarhe, also realized the threat of Qin, so he recruited Qianghu, who lived in Hexi, to form an alliance to deal with Qin's army.

This alliance against Qin, known as the Weishui Alliance, posed a great threat to Qin at one time.

Especially when the great patriarch of the Wubian tribe, Chelarhe, won the support of the Yi tribe during Wei Gongzirun's first conquest of the Qianjiao tribe.

In order to deal with the threat from Sanchuan and Hexi, the Qin built a fortress-like city south of Weishui, known as Xiaqi, to defend against the Wubian cavalry and the Hexi Qianghu cavalry.

After the fall of the Wei clan in Longxi, the remnants of the Wei clan defected to the Wei state in the Central Plains under the leadership of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the Qin state was finally free to deal with the Weishui alliance after quickly occupying Longxi.

With the dispatch of troops from the Qin State, the Wubian tribe was the first to be crippled, and the remnants, under the leadership of their patriarch Cheralhe, had to abandon the Weiping Plain, migrate eastward, and join the thriving Sichuan Alliance at that time.

The Wubian tribe was defeated and fled eastward in a hurry, which caused panic in Hexi Qianghu, and under the Huairou strategy of Qin Shaojun, the commander of the Qin army at that time, a part of Hexi Qianghu was said to be moved, and became a vassal of Qin, grazing war horses, cattle and sheep for the Qin people.

During this period, the Yi tribe of the Huayin Plain took over from the Wubian tribe and shouldered the burden of blocking the Qin invasion of Sanchuan.

Compared with the Wubian tribe, the Yi tribe is stronger, and the Qin army has fought many battles with the Qian cavalry of the Yi tribe on the Wei Plain, but they have never been able to bargain.

It was not until the death of the old patriarch of the Yi tribe, Feiyang Tahui, that the original leader Erdemer took over the burden of the great patriarch, which led to the outbreak of civil strife in the Yi tribe, and the Qin army had a chance to defeat the Yi tribe and really put its hand into Sanchuan.

During this war, Weinan played a crucial role, and it was equivalent to the eastern barrier of the Qin state, so it was also called Qin Dong.

However, in recent years, Xia Tai has gradually lost its role as a defensive barrier, because after the defeat of the Yi tribe, the Sanchuan tribe, which had once broken out with the Qin State, has moved to the east of Sanchuan, coupled with the gradual submission of the Qianghu in Hexi, making the Qin State invincible in this area.

Because of this, the year before last, the Qin State launched a large-scale crusade to the east.

Generally speaking, the role of Xiati, a fortress-level city, has changed from a heavy defense of the border fortress to a rear stronghold today, and it has supported the Eastern Expedition of Qin Shaojun and Wuxin Hou Gongsun twice before and after.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin soldiers stationed in Xia Tai would never have thought that there would be a powerful army to sneak attack Xia Tai.

On the fifth day of the first month of November, at the east gate of Xiatai City, a group of about three or four hundred Qin soldiers commanded thousands of people outside the city, carrying barrels full of grain and grain into wagons and preparing to transport them to the army of Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, on the front line.

On the city wall, there may be several Qin soldiers guarding the city gathered together, watching the busyness of the people under the city, while discussing this war.

I have to say that the battle of Sanchuan in Qin and Wei that took place the year before last made the Qin people, who were blindly confident in recent years, recognize the strength of Wei and firmly remember the name of Wei Gongzirun.

It is no wonder, after all, in the battle of Sanchuan of Qin and Wei, the defeat of Qin was too miserable, the entire 200,000 troops, in the end, only a few more than 1,000 people fled back to their country, and the remaining nearly 200,000 soldiers were buried in a foreign land.

"I don't know if Lord Wuxinhou's army has defeated that Wei Gongzi."

During this time, a recruit of the Qin army muttered to himself.

On the side, several nearby Qin soldiers glanced at each other and remained silent.

If it had been a few years ago, if someone had said such unconfident words, I believe that they would have been criticized by the rest of the Qin soldiers, but at this moment, none of the Qin soldiers opened their mouths to accuse, just because the name of Wei Gongzirun was too loud in the Qin State.

After a long time, an old soldier seemed to be full of confidence and comforted: "Don't worry, little cubs, that's Lord Wuxinhou!" ”

Hearing this, several Qin soldiers around laughed in agreement, which finally made the slightly tense atmosphere warm up a little.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the distance.

The old soldier of the Qin army raised his head and was surprised to see a herd of horses running on the vast snowfield in the distance—unowned horses without knights.

Wild horse? And wild horses in this area?

The old soldier of the Qin army was a little excited in his heart, after all, the Qin law clearly stipulated that if anyone offered a horse to the country, he could get a lot of rewards, and even had the opportunity to be promoted to cavalry.

Thinking of the beauty, the old soldier of the Qin army couldn't wait to run down the city wall at this moment, go out of the city and grab those ownerless horses.

But unfortunately, at this moment, he is in office and cannot leave his post - Qin Lu's punishment for soldiers who leave their posts without permission is extremely severe.

"Cheap city bastards."

After struggling in his heart for a while, the old pawn sighed and gave up the idea of going out of the city to catch horses.

At this time, the recruit rubbed his eyes and said in confusion, "Huh? The wild horses...... It was like pulling something. ”

"Huh?"

The old soldier of the Qin army was stunned when he heard this, and then looked intently at the wild horses in the distance.

After staring at it for a long time, he realized that the group of wild horses did seem to be pulling a large lump of things behind them, but the color of this lump of things was similar to the surrounding snowscape, so that he did not notice it for a short time.

Is that......

The old soldier of the Qin army swallowed his saliva, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, and he couldn't help shouting at the city: "Enemy-attack——! ”

"What?"

Hearing the shouts of the old soldiers, the Qin soldiers and people in the city who were preparing to capture the group of wild horses were all stunned and looked at each other: Enemy attack? Where did the enemy attack come from?

At this moment, the group of wild horses was only about thirty zhang away from Xiatai City, only to hear a hula, and on the big lump pulled by the wild horses, a white sheepskin blanket was lifted, revealing the heavily armed Wei crossbowmen on the horse-drawn sleigh chariot.

I saw that those Wei crossbowmen aimed at the Qin army and the people outside the city of Xia, pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and in an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows shot at the Qin soldiers and people under the city of Xia.

Pity those Qin soldiers and people, almost on guard, they fell to the ground one after another.

"Enemy, enemy attack!" With a shout from a folk man, thousands of Qin people outside the city suddenly panicked and ran back and forth at a loss.

At this time, the horse-drawn sleighs of the Wei army had rushed to the lower city gate.

After waiting for the horses to stop their momentum, a heavily armed Wei soldier jumped off the sleigh and slaughtered the still overwhelmed Qin army, effortlessly seizing control of the city gates.

Or a hundred members of the Qin army will come to their senses and beckon the nearby Qin soldiers and people to try to recapture the city gate.

However, he didn't take a few steps before he was hacked to death by a Wei pawn.

"Hold on! His Royal Highness King Su will arrive immediately! Ran Teng, the thousand-strong general of the Shang Water Army, shouted loudly while fighting hard.

On the snowy slope about three or five miles away from Xiatai, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, used a far-sighted mirror to check the situation in Xiaqi City, and after seeing that Ran Teng successfully captured the city gate of Xiatai according to the plan, he showed a little smile on his face: "Very good!" ”

Immediately, he stood up, waved his hand forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Attack! ”

As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of horse-drawn sleigh cars drove over the snow slope one by one, rushing towards the city of Xiatai in the distance like wolves on a snowfield pounced on their prey.

As they heard the movement in the distance, the Qin soldiers defending the city at the head of the city widened their eyes in horror.

Because they saw a dense crowd of Wei soldiers.

"How is that possible?!"

The Qin army veteran's eyes widened in horror, he couldn't figure out why such a large number of Wei troops had been killed in Xiaqi.

What about the army of the Marquis of Wuxin? Is it all gone?

Why didn't Xia Tai receive the slightest message?!

"Bell, bell, bell—"

"Bell, bell, bell—"

At the head of Xia Tai City, an early warning sound representing the enemy attack immediately sounded, and countless Qin soldiers poured out from the buildings in the city.

At this time, in the castle guard mansion of Xia Tai City, a burly general was naked, boxing in the snow to exercise.

Seeing this general, with scars all over his body, it is not difficult to guess that he is a brave and good general.

This person is the general of the Qin State, Zhang Yao.

After hearing the warning sound that resounded throughout the city, General Qin Zhang Yao was stunned, quickly grabbed the clothes that had been thrown on the snow and put them on his body, and walked out of the city guard mansion quickly.

Although he had also heard the call of the enemy's attack, he was really a little puzzled, who else in the vicinity of Weishui dared to tease the tiger whiskers of his Qin State.

And when he walked out of the city to guard the mansion, a herald rode quickly to the house, and said with an anxious face: "Lord Zhang Yao, Wei Jun!" The Wei army attacked me! ”

Wei Jun?

Even Zhang Jiao was a little dazed at the moment, and he couldn't figure out where the Wei army came from.

Seeing this, the herald eagerly added: "It's the Shangshui Wei Master under the command of Wei Gongzi Run!" ”

The name of a person and the name of a tree, Zhang Jin will definitely not be unfamiliar with the words Wei Gongzirun and Shangshui Wei Shi, but he can't understand: Wei Gongzirun's army is not in a stalemate with the army of Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi in Taolin?

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiao Zhengse said: "It's okay, the Wei army is tired from afar, and our army can stick to the city ......."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the herald who almost cried: "Lord Zhang Yao, the Wei army has seized the city gate by some trick, and has already entered the city!" ”

"What?!"

Zhang Yao's color suddenly changed when he heard this, and his eyes widened in shock.

He pushed the herald away, got on his horse, and went to the city to take a look.

Sure enough, as the herald said, countless Wei soldiers poured out of the city in a steady stream, although the Qin soldiers struggled to resist, but they couldn't resist it, so that in just a moment, half of the city was captured by the Wei army.

Can't hold it......

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Jin had no choice but to order a retreat.

However, when he led his soldiers to evacuate from the West City Gate, he was shocked to see the Wei army all over the sky, driving a chariot that could fly on the snow, and headed along the Weishui River in the southwest direction of Xiaqi.

The speed of the Wei army was so fast that even Zhang Jiao couldn't catch up on horseback, and could only watch the other party disappear into the snowfield.

Not good, Lintong......

Zhang Yao's face was like ashes.

The speed of the Wei army was too fast, and he didn't even have time to report the enemy situation to the rear city.
