Chapter 687: Breaking Its Organization
(Stay up late to write a book, support it!!) )
Wei Wuji's scolding war didn't have much effect, and the generals on the Qin army's side still endured it, they wouldn't fight a battle that they were not sure of.
What's more, they also learned who the opponent on the opposite side was!
This is the famous Wu Yangjun of Wei, who is not only famous in Wei, but also rumored to be a great general among other countries.
This made the Qin army even more afraid to act rashly, who knows what traps are ahead, they can only confront the Wei army while waiting for the military order of the main general in the army.
The Qin army here was tightly defended, but it gave Fang Xuan's troops an opportunity, and under their careful infiltration, it took them two days, and all the troops of this Du Wei Department crossed the Qin and Chu defense lines.
It is said that it is the Qin-Chu defense line, but in fact, the minds of the people of Chu are no longer in the north, and putting tens of thousands of troops here is just an attitude to deter Wei by the way.
Therefore, after crossing the Qin army's not tight defense line, Fang Xuan and the others were unrestrained, and although there were large armies outside Changping Pass, it was impossible for the Qin army to fill the entire Chen State with an army.
What they need to do now is to find a grain route for the Qin army according to the instructions of the previous intelligence, and just squat and wait.
As long as they robbed the grain route a few more times, the Qin army would inevitably not be able to sit still, and then they could only spend great efforts to destroy the enemy in the rear.
Not only that, but if the grain and grass are really tight because of this, the Qin army may also need to consider an appropriate withdrawal, or a decisive battle with the Wei army.
…………
After two days of trekking, Fang Xuan and his party came to a mountain forest twenty miles away from the gathering place of most of the Qin army.
The reason why it took only two days to travel twenty miles was because Fang Xuan and the others were divided into small units to hurry, and they had to carefully clean up the traces of the horses' crossings when they were on the road, so the speed became slow.
The mountain forest he chose was definitely the most ordinary one along the Qin Army's grain road, and it was also very good to hide his whereabouts in the Fang Xuan Station.
The three thousand men and horses were hidden in it, but all of them could be hidden, and Fang Xuan also deliberately had a distance from the outside road to prevent the Qin army from scouting and probing.
The rest is to wait, as long as you stay here honestly, the baggage troops of the Qin army will always come, and it will be within these few days.
After waiting for a few days, there was no movement outside, which made Fang Xuan a little anxious.
They only had five days of dry food, and if the Qin army's baggage troops were no longer available, he would have to return with people.
Fortunately, on the 12th day of August, the scouts sent out by the flood control finally got the news, and the baggage troops of the Qin State finally came.
But with this good news, it was not very good news, originally the Qin army escorted the grain and grass to the troops of a captain's department, but this time it was a captain's department.
The number of enemy troops was larger than expected, which had to be said to be a nuisance.
But this is just a trouble, after all, Fang Xuan also has three thousand men and horses, and the strength is equal to the Qin army.
Now that the prey had arrived, Fang Xuan, as the hunter, had to get busy, so he immediately summoned the three new lieutenants under him, and made arrangements after a short discussion.
The 3,000 men were divided into three divisions, one in front and one in front of the Qin army's grain transport troops, and the last one attacked the Qin army's flank.
This method was very simple and effective, and at the same time, Fang Xuan also strictly ordered several lieutenants under his command, warning them not to attack and kill the Qin army head-on, but to attack and harass them.
Cavalry fighting infantry is by no means stupid to rush forward, if people form a formation to defend, then there will undoubtedly be heavy casualties for the cavalry.
Therefore, in order to avoid casualties to the greatest extent, it is enough for the Wei army to carry out attacks and light impacts.
Once the Qin army lost its basic organizational ability under the impact of the three Wei armies, then this army became a lamb to the slaughter.
After the arrangements were made, two of the lieutenants gathered their men and horses, and then set off for the place where they had set up an ambush.
The last thousand people were personally led by Fang Xuan to attack the flank of the Qin army.
About half an hour later, all three groups of the Wei army were in place, waiting for the Qin army to enter the ambush circle.
And in this process, the Wei army scouts were also too busy to keep their feet on the ground, hunting and killing the scouts scattered by the Qin army.
Fortunately, the Qin army has been rampant for more than a year, and sending scouts can only deal with things, so the Wei army did not spend much time to solve it.
…………
On the mountain road, the ranks of the Qin army walked forward slowly, and the convoy stretched for no less than ten miles.
This also explains why the Qin army suddenly sent more manpower, because there were too many things to escort, and the three thousand commanders seemed to be understaffed.
In addition to the 3,000 Qin troops, this team also included more than 20,000 people who actually transported grain and grass, and the whole team was extremely bloated.
At the front of the whole team, as the person in charge of this grain and grass escort, this Captain Du's face is very unsightly now.
Not only now, but also during this time, who made the amount of escort this time really large!
"Why worry about it, my lord, I have walked this road more than a dozen times, and there has never been a mistake!" On the side, a lieutenant accompanied him with a smile and explained.
Of course, he was okay with what he said, but the face of this Captain was still gloomy, after all, he was the one directly responsible.
And at this moment, there was a commotion from the rear of the whole team, which made the Captain of the Metropolitan furious, and he hated his subordinates for not following the rules the most.
Just as he was about to send someone to ask, he heard a herald Pegasus coming, and then panicked: "My lord, the rear of our army has been attacked, and Lord Chen has already led the army to resist!" ”
Just as the Captain wanted to ask who the enemy was and how many there were, he heard an exclamation from the side: "Be careful, my lord! ”
Then, the captain was thrown off his horse by his guards, and a burst of sound broke the air.
Feather Arrow...... A salvo of no small size...... The battle-hardened Captain quickly figured it out, and then he realized that it was not only the men and horses in the rear who were attacked, but also someone from his own side.
"Command the whole army to form a defensive formation...... Give weapons to the people to protect themselves! The Captain shouted.
But this first wave of attacks caused a lot of casualties to this team, and those people who had not experienced the killing fled for their lives one by one.
This was extremely unfavorable to the formation of the entire Qin army, so the Captain had to order everyone not to run around, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to correct these people who attacked the army formation on the spot.
As a result, when the Wei army killed only a few hundred Qin soldiers and horses, the number of dead people under the Qin army's sword soon exceeded this number.
Although his heart felt heavy, the Captain knew that he had to, or he would only die more.
"Order the whole army to defend and prevent the enemy from attacking!" The Captain roared.
But he soon found that the enemy troops in front of him were all cavalry, and they had no intention of attacking head-on, but kept firing cold arrows and attacking those people who had no combat experience.
So the energy of this Captain immediately put his energy on the dispatch of the people, and these people would collapse the entire Qin army front if they were in chaos.
But soon, bad news came, and there was also an enemy attack on the flank, which had cut the Qin army into two sections.
In other words, the military orders of the Commander could no longer be conveyed to the entire army, and the situation became even worse.
At this time, the resistance of the Qin army continued, although he could not rush out to fight the enemy in front of him, but the bows and crossbows in their hands did not stop.
In addition, the people were also assigned weapons, which also caused problems for the Wei army.
However, after all, the Wei army had the advantage of geographical location and armor, so the attack of the Qin army only caused trouble to the Wei army, but it was difficult to have a lethal effect.
What they could not avoid was that their ranks became more and more scattered under the attack of the Wei army, and it became more and more difficult to convey information between the upper and lower levels.
The captain of the Qin army, who was protected by the guards, looked at the scene in front of him and knew in his heart that he was finished...... My own family is finished!
