"Kill!"

In the dark of the night, countless Qin pawns surrounded Wei General Dou Xing and his Wei pawns from all directions, and the number of them seemed to be endless.

Even if he is as brave as Dou Xing, a fierce general of the Wei army, he can't help but be terrified at this moment.

"Qin Jun actually ...... He set up an ambush here......

Listening to the shouts and killings around him, Dou Xing was inexplicably angry in his heart.

Surprisingly, the Qin army was not in a hurry to force the crossing of the water, but set up an ambush on the road he had to pass, as if guessing that he would lead the army to pursue; Angry, he was short-witted and resourceful, and because he was in a hurry to pursue the Qin army, he was ambushed by the Qin army.

"Hold on!"

Shouting at the Wei soldiers around him, Dou Xing immediately comforted the soldiers and said: "There must be reinforcements behind us, and when the reinforcements arrive, it will be enough to break the siege!" ”

What made him feel fortunate was that even though he was ambushed by the Qin army, the Wei pawns under his command were at most a little panicked, but they were not afraid, and even Wei pawns scolded Qin pawns out of anger in their hearts, scolding the other party for being just a group of timid rats, not daring to fight them openly, but only knowing how to sneak attack and set up ambushes.

In general, the morale of the Wei soldiers under Dou Xing was not affected much, on the contrary, they were more united under the ambush of the Qin army, which made Tong Yang, the Qin general who was responsible for ambushing Dou Xing, feel very tricky.

Seeing that the Dou Xing army had not penetrated the Wei army's position several times, but was repelled by the other party, the Qin general Tong Yang said left and right: "I finally understand why Bai Shuai ordered the withdrawal of troops. …… The morale of the Wei army has been fully restored, and even more threatening than before. ”

And in fact, as Tong Yang said, today's Wei army, that is, after the night of the night attack on the main camp of the Wei army, was pulled up again by Meng Zhong, Dou Xing and other Wei generals - it is precisely because he once deeply experienced the despair when facing defeat and did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so the Wei army is united, although there are only more than 80,000 people left, but in fact it is more threatening than the 180,000 army.

A moment later, the battle situation on the side of the Qin general Tongyang was sent by the herald to the Qin army commander Bai Qi's side.

At this time, Bai Qi was standing a few miles northeast of the Ruoshui Wei camp, peeking at the Luoshui Wei camp in the dark night.

In his mind, the actions of his Qin army tonight were very clear, and its main strategy was to force the crossing of the river, retreat to the west bank of the river, and then decide whether to retreat to Yiyang or march to support Xincheng depending on the specific situation - he deeply suspected that the Han army had almost defeated his main camp of the Qin army at present, and was preparing for an attack on Xincheng.

However, in order to ensure the purpose of allowing his army to cross the water, Bai Qi had to first solve the Wei army's "chasing troops" and "blocking troops".

Chasing soldiers, well, Wei general Dou Xing is, but it doesn't just refer to this person - Bai Qi will never believe that only Dou Xing led the army to chase from the area of Yique Mountain, and believes that after Dou Xing, there will be more Wei troops.

After all, although the Qin army had been extremely careful, the actions of the entire 50,000 people at night were still difficult to hide, and Bai Qi also knew this, so he had long guessed that the Wei army would come to pursue.

As for the blocking troops, it actually refers to the garrison army of Wei generals Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge.

These two generals from Hanoi of Wei State had the foresight to build a camp in a key place, that is, to hold the water on the west side, and a few days ago, they had let the Qin general Xiang Shou repeatedly attack to no avail, and held the main road to the south - if they could break through this Wei camp, the Qin army actually had the opportunity to raid the rear of the Korean army, and hit the Korean army in the back who must be attacking Xincheng at the moment.

Not bad!

Even at this time, Bai Qi was still trying to plan a winning strategy, even if he was quite jealous of the current "commander" of the Wei army, that is, the "commander of the Wei army", his innate pride forced him to show weakness in front of anyone.

If the enemy is weak, annihilate it; If the enemy is strong, use strategy to annihilate them.

This is exactly the art of war pursued by Bai Qi - he doesn't care how many cities he takes or how many cities he loses, he only cares about the casualties on both sides.

It is precisely because of the pursuit of such a method of war that in fact, even Bai Qi, who is in a state of withdrawal, is actually extremely lethal, because he is always thinking about how to use all conditions to kill the enemy's living forces.

No, Wei Jiang Dou Xing fell headlong into the trap laid by Bai Qi.

"The pursuers of the Wei army, I believe that Dou Xing is not the only one, tell Tong Yang to step up the attack, and be sure to defeat the Dou Xing army before the reinforcements behind him arrive!"

After listening to the news conveyed by the herald, Bai Qi calmly ordered.

"Whoa!" The herald obeyed.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, Bai Qi frowned slightly imperceptibly.

Most people are very vulnerable in the face of despair, but if they get past despair, they will become stronger than they once were, as was the case with the main Wei army in the Yique Mountains.

A few days ago, when the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled into Yique Mountain in fear, even Bai Qi did not pay attention to this defeated army, because in his opinion, these defeated soldiers of the Wei army were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, especially after capturing the commander of the Wei army, Gongsun Xi, Bai Qi thought that he had won - the next thing he had to think about was what kind of great victory his Qin army used to send the 300,000 Wei and Han coalition troops that helped him become famous.

Say, annihilate its entire army?

However, I never expected that there was still a fierce tiger hidden in the weak Wei army at that time.

Unconsciously raised his hand and touched his left shoulder, Bai Qi seemed to have touched the arrow wound under the armor, and at the same time, the guy who once made him face death also appeared in his mind - the "Wei Junshishuai" who he only knew the other party's surname (name) Meng so far.

In the case of the defeat of the Wei army, this person accurately grasped the only period of weakness of his Qin army, and encouraged the morale of the Wei army to suddenly counter his Qin army, even if he was in the position of friend and foe, Bai Qi couldn't help but want to praise the other party: Wonderful! It's wonderful!

"It's just that kind of guy, why was he unknown in the Wei Kingdom before?"

Bai Qi felt very puzzled in his heart.

After all, in his opinion, the "Montessori Wei General" is much more difficult than the world-famous Gongsun Xi, and he feels that the other party's talent is not under his Bai Qi, and it is hard to imagine that this kind of character has not yet made a name for himself in the Wei State, so that Bai Qi has sent people around to inquire in the past few days, but he doesn't know where the other party came from.

Just when Bai Qi was thinking about the opponent opposite, a team of soldiers hurriedly rushed from a distance, and after getting closer, a soldier hugged his fists and reported: "Bai Shuai, General Meng Yi ordered me to come to summon the news, and the Wei army in the Wei camp in front of the Luoshui Wei camp took the initiative to attack for some reason......

"Huh?"

Bai Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction of Yushui Wei Ying, and a few different colors flashed in his eyes.

Meng Yi, that is, the Qin general sent by Bai Qi to attack the Wei camp in Luoshui, Bai Qi's request to him was to launch a fierce attack, and if the Wei camp was negligent in prevention, he would step up the attack, on the contrary, if the Wei camp was heavily guarded, he would give up the attack and find another place to cross the river.

After all, although the location of the Wei camp in Yushui is very crucial, just stuck in the main road for Bai Qi to sneak attack the back of the Korean army to the south, but Bai Qi does not have to sneak attack the Korean army, no matter how he thinks about it, he has more options to retreat to Yiyang first.

As for the safety of Xincheng, since Xiang Shou did not meet him in the main camp of the Wei army as agreed a few days ago, this means that he was blocked by the Wei soldiers of the Wei camp in Yushui, and it is not difficult to guess that Xiang Shou will definitely return to the main camp of the Qin army in the case of several unsuccessful strong attacks - if the Han army has captured his main camp of the Qin army at this moment, Xiang Shou will definitely retreat to the new city.

No matter how you say that Xincheng is also a city built by Korea to block the invasion of his Qin State, it is guarded by Xiang Shou, how can it be broken by the Korean army in such a short time?

It was with this in mind that Bai Qi was not in a hurry to support Xincheng at all - if he had the opportunity, he would naturally not refuse to help Xiang Shou and launch a front and rear attack on the Korean army; If he doesn't have the opportunity, he won't force it, retreat to Yiyang first, and then make a follow-up decision depending on the specific situation.

For the sake of fighting the enemy army in one city and one place, he did not hesitate to lose both, this is not the art of war he pursued in vain.

Because of this, when Meng Yi sent someone to convey the news a moment ago, saying that the Wei camp in Yushui was heavily defended, Bai Qi did not tell Meng Yi to have to conquer this Wei camp, but ordered him to immediately find a way to build a pontoon bridge downstream of the Luoshui, so that his 50,000 Qin troops could cross the Luoshui - the main force of the more than 60,000 Wei troops in the area of Yique Mountain might soon rush to support, how could he have time to entangle with the Wei army here?

If the Wei army dares to continue to send a single army to pursue, it will continue to gradually eat away at the strength of the Wei army with this tactic, until the number and morale of the Wei army are inferior to his Qin army, and then he will turn his head and annihilate the Wei army in one fell swoop - this is the art of war he pursues in Bai Qi.

But what he didn't expect was that the Wei army in the Wei camp actually took the initiative to attack, which was really beyond his expectations.

"Was it because of the sound of Tong Yang ambushing Dou Xing? It seems that the chief general of the Rushui Wei camp has extraordinary eyesight...... Besides, he dared to take the initiative in such a situation, heh, it seems that he is a brave and resourceful person, so ......

Squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in Bai Qi's heart, and he ordered: "Order Meng Yi to lead a small force to lead this Wei army from Yushui to Tongyang, and try to make the two Wei armies kill each other." …… Then he ordered Zhong Xu to wait for Meng Yi to lead away the Wei soldiers in the camp, and then ordered him to immediately storm the camp. ”

In the end, he also chuckled and added: "God's gift, don't dare to resign!" ”

Look at this man who is on the run (?) On the way, the commander who was still calm and talking and laughing, and the nearby Qin soldiers were also quite calm.

"Whoa!"

Several guards around him immediately went to convey Bai Qi's order.

And the fact was a little white, just a moment later, the Wei soldiers with torches in the Wei camp of Yushui went straight to the war zone of the Qin general Tong Yang and the Wei general Dou Xing.

"Huh?"

Bai Qi was slightly stunned.

Calculating the time, he felt that the order he gave would not reach Meng Yi so quickly, right?

Or is it ......

"Was it broken in reverse?" This Wei army...... It's very fierce, it doesn't seem to be inferior to the Wei army in the area of Yique Mountain, no wonder even General Xiang Shou was repelled by it......

Thinking in his heart, Bai Qi's expression was a little strange.

Although the evolution of the battle situation was always as he predicted, he really didn't expect Meng Yi to be defeated by Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, two Wei generals, you must know that Meng Yi was a brave general under his command.

"Whether it's the Wei army in Yique Mountain, or the Wei army on this side of Yushui, they are all worthy of being the army of Wei...... I hope we can inflict heavy damage on it tonight, otherwise this battle will not be easy to fight."

Bai Qi thought secretly in his heart.

As Bai Qi guessed, his fierce general Meng Yi was indeed stunned by Wei General Tang Zhi at first.

First, Meng Yi didn't expect that Tang Zhi would dare to use all his troops to take the initiative to kill out of the camp under the situation of unknown battle conditions, so he lost the opportunity, and secondly, Tang Zhi and his Wei pawns were really brave, even if it was Meng Yi and his Qin pawns, they couldn't get any bargains.

I have to say that Meng Yi really underestimated Tang Zhi, Jiao Ge and the army under their command - they were born in the Wei army in Hanoi and were Wei generals of the famous Wei general Zhai Zhang's line, although because of his age and because of the relationship between Gongsun Xi, Zhai Zhang has gradually faded out of the world's vision over the years, but it is undeniable that this is still the general of the pillar state of Wei, maintaining the peace of Wei in the direction of Zhao.

Zhao State during the period of Lord Zhao's father, how fierce it was, but even so, Zhao State still held a tacit understanding with Wei State in the end, which cannot be said to be without Zhai Zhang's great merit.

Meng Yi was ashamed and annoyed that he was about to gather an army to retaliate, and when he was about to gather an army to retaliate, he happened to receive an order from Bai Qi, who ordered him to deliberately pretend to be defeated by this Wei army, and lead this Wei army to Tongyang, trying to make this Wei army and the Wei army under Dou Xing's command kill each other.

I have to say that after receiving Bai Qi's order, Meng Yi was also stunned for a moment: although it was not his original intention, looking at the current situation, it seems that he has unconsciously achieved the deception that Bai Qi said?

Laughing at himself, Meng Yi immediately ordered a retreat to the area where Tong Yang was, and at the same time immediately sent someone to remind Tong Yang in advance.

At this time, the Qin general Tong Yang was still besieging the Wei army of Wei General Dou Xing on all sides, and immediately received the news that Bai Qi and Meng Yi had ordered the soldiers to send them, and his heart suddenly became clear, and he deliberately asked the soldiers to shout in front of the Wei army: "There are reinforcements from the Wei army in the northwest, and the general ordered us to kill the Wei army here as soon as possible." ”

These words soon reached the ears of Wei General Dou Xing.

"Our reinforcements from the northwest?"

Dou Xing was very surprised when he heard the news, but he reacted immediately.

The Wei army in the northwest only had the troops under the command of Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, and it was obvious that Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, who were guarding the Wei camp in Yushui, had realized that he had been ambushed by the Qin army, so they immediately led their troops to reinforcements.

"I Dou Xing wrote down this favor!"

Thinking secretly in his heart, Dou Xing immediately ordered the Wei army under his command to break through to the northwest and strive to join forces with Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge.

But the black light was blind, and he couldn't see clearly which were the Qin army and which were the Wei army, so that when the Wei army under his command collided with the armies of Tang Zhi and Jiao Ge, both sides thought that the other party was the army of the Qin State, and hurriedly started a scuffle.

At this time, the Qin generals Tong Yang and Meng Yi were attacking the two Wei armies from the flank, causing heavy losses to the troops under the command of Tang Zhi and Dou Xing.

Fortunately, Tang Zhi and Dou Xing reacted quickly, and after asking the details of the other party through shouting, they immediately gathered their troops together to resist the offensive of the Qin army, otherwise the casualties of his soldiers would not be more than that.

However, even if Tang Zhi and Dou Xing joined forces, the Qin army had no intention of retreating, and it was not until Wei Qing led his Wei army to support that the Qin army retreated.

"Why did you two fight on your own?"

It may be that he learned from the mouth of the soldier that under some circumstances, Wei Qing frowned and counted Dou Xing and Tang Zhi.

Especially Dou Xing, who obviously came to pursue the Qin army, was ambushed by the Qin army.

Faced with the number of colleagues, Dou Xing explained embarrassedly: "I thought that the Qin army abandoned the camp and fled in a hurry, but I didn't expect them to set up an ambush halfway......"

From the side, Tang Zhi also explained with some embarrassment: "I heard the sound of shouting and killing from here in the camp, and guessed that it might be that our army's pursuit was ambushed by the Qin army, so I hurriedly led the army to support, but I never thought that there was a mistakenly injury......

He and Dou Xing glanced at each other, and they both felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately, they were not brave and reckless, even if because of the obstruction of vision at night, they mistakenly thought that the other party was the army of the Qin army and there was a tragedy of fratricidal killing, but they still reacted quickly, so that Bai Qi's trick did not succeed.

Otherwise, Wei Jun may really be seriously injured this time.

"Do you have any instructions from Master Meng?" Dou Xing asked Wei Qingdao.

Wei Qing shook his head and said: "I came early, and I don't know what instructions Master Meng gave after I led the army to leave, but Master Meng has an order that this Qin army must be dragged here, and it must not be allowed to flee to the west bank of the river." ”

Hearing this, Jiao Ge's face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly interjected: "Tang Zhi and I rushed to help Dou Sima in order to help him......

When Dou Xing and Wei Qing heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly said, "Not good!" Don't let the Qin army capture the camp of Yushui! ”

As a result, Tang Zhi, Jiao Ge, Dou Xing, and Wei Qing joined forces, led about 30,000 troops, and immediately went straight to the Wei camp in Yushui.

Half an hour later, when they arrived at the Wei camp in Luoshui, they saw that there were fires everywhere in the camp in front of them, and many Qin soldiers were busy putting out the fires.

Obviously, this camp has been captured by the Qin army, and it should be renamed the Qin camp of Yushui.

Seeing this, Jiao Ge looked anxious and said to the other three generals: "The camp was captured by the Qin army, how can this be good?" ”

Tang Zhi was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is my ...... to blame."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dou Xing: "Tang Zhi, no matter what happens to you, if you hadn't led the reinforcements to save me, I and the soldiers under my command would have been surrounded by those Qin troops on all sides and wiped out...... After all, it was caused by me being ambushed by the Qin army. ”

"Dou Sima ......"

Seeing Tang Zhi and Dou Xing competing for responsibility, Wei Qing was really a little ridiculous, he shook his head and said, "It's not a credit, it's worth your fight for me?" Instead of fighting for any crime, it is better to find a way to take this camp back from the Qin army! ”

"That's right."

Tang Zhi and Dou Xing were like a dream, and immediately thought about how to recapture the camp.

I have to say that among the four military commanders, Tang Zhi and Dou Xing are the first to be recommended in terms of bravery, but in terms of strategy, I am afraid that Wei Qing's thinking is the clearest.

He said to the three of them: "Think about it carefully, Master Meng just ordered our army to drag the Qin army, even if this camp is captured by the Qin army, it is not a big deal, as long as the Qin army has not crossed the river, we can divide the army into two ways, and half of the troops will find a way to be stationed on the south side of the camp, on the one hand, cut off the main road for the Qin army to withdraw south, and on the other hand, intercept the Qin army from crossing the river; The other half of the army stayed here to join the army led by Master Meng. …… If the Qin army does not make any changes, we should not act rashly, and wait for Master Meng to arrive. ”

Hearing this, Tang Zhi, Dou Xing, and Jiao Ge all nodded.

As Wei Qing said, in terms of the current situation of the Wei army, even if the Qin army took the opportunity to capture the Luoshui camp, it was not a big deal, the Qin army did not dare to defend the main camp, and naturally did not dare to defend this camp, so it was inevitable to forcibly cross the Luoshui to evacuate, and what Tang Zhi, Dou Xing and others had to do was to prevent the Qin army from forcibly crossing the Luoshui, after all, once the Qin army crossed the Luoshui, it would be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and Meng Zhong would never have the opportunity to encircle and annihilate it.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the gap between the Qin army to extinguish the fire in the camp, Tang Zhi, Dou Xing, Wei Qing, and Jiao Ge divided their troops into two routes, and Tang Zhi and Dou Xing, the two brave military horses, went to the south of the camp, that is, the upstream section, and stationed there, while Wei Qing and Jiao Ge were stationed on the east side of the camp, waiting to join the reinforcements led by Meng Zhong, and at the same time to prevent the Qin army from crossing the water from the north side.

The Wei army's division of troops naturally could not be concealed from the Qin army, and immediately a Qin pawn informed Bai Qi of the movements of the Wei army outside the camp.

And Bai Qi didn't care about this.

As long as the main force of the Wei army in the area of Yique Mountain has not yet arrived here, Bai Qi will naturally have no fear.

At most, he felt a little pity, regretting that he couldn't design to get rid of more soldiers under Tang Zhi and Dou Xing.

Seeing this, the general Ji Hong suggested: "Why don't you send soldiers to attack again?" ”

"No!" Bai Qi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Wei army here is only half of the strength of the Wei army, and there are still at least 50,000 troops in the area of Yique Mountain. With the strength and morale of our army at the moment, it is true that we can severely damage the Wei troops outside the camp, but what if the 'Montessori Wei general' arrives with the main force afterwards? We've already suffered a loss, do we have to go through it again? ”

Ji Hong nodded silently.

Indeed, a few days ago, he was blocked by the Wei army at the camp gate, which was really the most aggrieved time he had so far.

"Those Wei troops outside the camp are not to be afraid, but now is not the time to entangle with them. …… Wait for the dawn, let's find a way to force the water and withdraw to Yiyang first. ”

"Hmm!"

Ji Hong nodded approvingly.

Soon, after another two or three hours, the sky gradually brightened, and Bai Qi immediately sent people to investigate the outskirts of the camp on the east side, and sure enough, the number of Wei troops in that area surged, and it was obvious that the main force of the Wei army in the area of Yique Mountain had arrived.

"Although the situation is not good, we still have to find a way to force the water ......."

Bai Qi was thinking like this, and suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran to report to him: "Bai, Bai Shuai, the Wei army has been found on the west bank of the river, and the strength is ...... As many as one or two thousand! ”

Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Is it that the army of Tang Zhi and Dou Xing has moved to the other side of the river?" Why didn't I receive any messages? ”

"No, those two Wei armies are still on the south side of our army, and they are another Wei army!"

“……”

Bai Qi's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately came to the bank of the Luoshui River, and sure enough, he saw Wei troops stationed everywhere on the other side of the river.

Looking at the south again, the army led by Tang Zhi and Dou Xing is still in place.

"That guy ......"

A few traces of solemnity appeared in Bai Qi's eyes, and he gritted his teeth hatefully.

At the same time, on the east side of the Qin camp in Luoshui, Meng Zhongzheng, accompanied by the two generals Wei Qing and Jiao Ge, peeked at the camp captured by the Qin army from a distance.

Probably seeing the worry on the faces of Wei Qing and Jiao Ge, Meng Zhong was relieved: "Don't worry, this Qin army can't escape, last night I ordered Liang Xijun Sima to lead his army to move to the west bank of Luoshui, cutting off the retreat of this Qin army...... Counting the time, Liang Sima should have arrived. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the camp in the distance.

『…… I don't know what tricks you're up to, so I'm going to send an army to wait for you at the finish line in advance. Thou hast devised an ambush for many of our soldiers, and I have completely cut off thy retreat from the westward crossing of the waters, and have besieged thee here, one against another.

may have thought of the conversation he had with the commander of the Qin army when they first met, and the corners of Meng Zhong's mouth couldn't help but raise a faint smile.
