Volume 17 Redefining the Central Plains Chapter 27 The Bloody Battle of Yiqiu
Outside the city of Daliang, the flags are rolled randomly, the black armor covers the sun, although it is a spring day, but it can not hide the murderous aura that soars into the sky, nearly 300,000 Qin troops besieged Daliang so that the water is impassable, and the birds are difficult to cross.
Liu Bang stood at the head of the city, looking at the heavy camps and tents outside the city, and couldn't help but be silent for a while. Cao Wuxian, who was behind him, suddenly said: "Lord, the Qin army has set up three layers of barracks outside the city, each layer is connected by a trench, and the horses, antlers, and thistles are protected by horses, antlers, and thistles, which clearly intends to trap our army in Daliang City!"
Chen Ping nodded and said: "Not only that, I'm afraid that there is also a tight formation hidden in it, similar to the gossip of the ancient formation, I am afraid it came from the hands of Zhang Liang, the Qin military division!" Our army wants to break through now, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and we can only hope that the reinforcements from the Qi State can arrive as soon as possible!"
Liu Bang said with a worried face: "The Qin army attacked too quickly, and the Qi country is far away from here, I am afraid that the Qi army will not be able to reach Daliang in a month." Alas, I originally hoped that Peng Yue would be able to hold on to the ruined city and win a month's respite for our army, but I didn't expect that he would only hold out for seven days and then fall! Now the situation is difficult, and it will be difficult to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and this month will not be easy!" I couldn't help but secretly hate Peng Yue's thorn in my heart
Xiahou Ying said: "Once the Qin army finds out that Qi reinforcements are coming, they will definitely attack Daliang with all their might, and strive to solve our army before the arrival of the Qi army, so I am afraid that there will be a tough battle soon." However, the lord doesn't need to worry, Daliang is a famous male city in the world, and it didn't take our army two or three months to capture it in the past! If the Qin army wants to get down within a month, it is not an easy task. As long as the officers and men of our army are single-minded, they will definitely be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements!"
Liu Bang nodded, and said in his heart: "I hope so!" With a smile on his face: "Originally, I was still a little worried, but as soon as I saw the generals by my side, Liu was full of confidence and would definitely be able to survive this difficulty!" They were very moved. He bowed down and said, "I am willing to die for the Lord!"
Fan Xu said: "Lord, the city wall was damaged a lot when our army attacked the city before, although it has been repaired recently, but there are still many places where the foundation is unstable and the city wall is not solid, so it is necessary to take advantage of the Qin army before the large-scale attack, recruit the people in the city and then raid and repair, otherwise it is really not easy to survive for a month!"
Liu Bang nodded frequently and said, "What General Fan said is very true!" Strategist, this matter of coordination will be handed over to you, you must recruit all the people of Daliang and repair it day and night. Fill in all the gaps before the Qin army attacks!" Oh, my lord!" Chen Ping nodded.
The Qin army camp and the imperial tent are inside.
Fusu and the generals were discussing around a huge Wei sand table.
Fusu said with a smile: "Generals, Daliang has been besieged by our army, what should I do next, do you have a plan?"
Zhao Tuo said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go all out to storm the beam!?" As long as Liang Ke and Liu Bang die, dozens of cities in Wei will be at your fingertips!"
Yingbu shook his head and said, "Well, it's not proper, it's not proper!" Although there is a cloud in the art of war: "The city is in the swampy area, and there are no mountains and valleys." It is a castle and can be attacked. But after all, Daliang is a famous fortified city in the world. Not only is the city high and wide, strong and abnormal, but there are 100,000 Chu troops standing in it. If you attack it now, I'm afraid there will be more losses! The suggestion of the last general is: for the time being, besiege Daliang but not attack, but take other cities in Wei first, and wait until all the cities in Wei are in my hands. Daliang is another Xiongcheng, but it has become a dead place, and then it will inevitably be demoralized and unwilling to fight, and then our army will attack Daliang again. You can do more with less!"
Zhao Tuo said disapprerovingly: "General Ying, I think this plan is inappropriate!" Although there are many Chu troops, most of them are rabble patchwork in recent days, and their combat power is not strong, while our army is all elite in a hundred battles, and their combat power is far superior to it. And although the city of Daliang is strong, it has been quite damaged in the recent chaotic war, although it has been repaired, it is difficult to ensure its safety in the short term, so if it is attacked now, our army may not have greater damage, and Daliang Yike and Liu Bang are dead, and the cities of Wei are also at your fingertips! If you don't attack it now, when its walls are solid and its troops are stable, if you want to capture the girders, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, and maybe the damage will be even greater!"
Fusu thought for a while and said, "What do the generals mean?" The generals looked at each other, some supported Yingbu, some supported Zhao Hua, and the two parties were arguing in the tent, and they couldn't agree with each other!
Fusu saw that the two people seemed to be unable to convince anyone, so he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand, and the generals immediately quieted down. "Strategist, why didn't you say a word on the side just now, could it be that you have already made up your mind?" Fusu turned his head to look at Zhang Liang, who seemed to be confident.
Zhang Liang smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty must have made up your mind, why do you have to ask me!?" Fu Su Le: "Oh, what does the military advisor think of Lian? But it doesn't hurt to say it!" The generals also argued: "Yes, military advisor, don't sell the guanzi, what do you think, just say it!"
Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I insist on General Yingbu's suggestion?" Zhao Tuo was a little unhappy and said: "Why, is there anything wrong with a suggestion in a certain place?" Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "General Ying and General Zhao's opinions have their own merits, and either method will work!" But if you take one thing into account, it is more appropriate to suggest the British general, that is, the reinforcements of the Qi State!"
Zhao Tuo was a little surprised and said, "Qi reinforcements!?" The State of Qi is now busy dealing with General Meng Tian's Blackshirt Army, and he will send reinforcements to save the State of Chu!?"
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Chu State is not unpopular, they will not fail to see the current situation: now that Chu State is facing a two-way attack by our army, they are no longer able to cope with it with their existing strength, especially Liu Bang's road is even more precarious, and if Chu wants to survive, it can only ask Qi for help." And the Qi State suffered the least losses in the melee of the princes, and it was completely possible to mobilize an army of more than 600,000 people in a short period of time, so the Qi State had room to deal with General Meng Tian's black-shirted army based on the strength of the troops alone, and it was completely possible to send reinforcements to reinforce the Chu State. Don't underestimate Qi Wang Tian Rong and Cheng Xiang Tian Heng, these two are also heroes for a while, and they should be able to see this situation, so it is very likely that Qi Guo's reinforcements are now ready to set off to aid Liu Bang!"
Yingbu Dawu said: "That's why the military division supports our opinion, first cut off the wings of the Great Liang, separate them from the Great Liang before the arrival of the Qi reinforcements, and then return to the army to attack the Great Liang after the Qi reinforcements are destroyed!" Zhang Liang smiled and said, "That's right! Sometimes marching and fighting a war not only have to consider the stakes of the battlefield in front of you, but also have the ability to control the overall situation, so the advice of the British general is currently more suitable for the battle situation in Weidi! I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Fusu said with a smile: "What the military advisor said is exactly what he wants!" When Lian and General Wang Ben took Wei, they knew that sorghum was not an easy place. It is difficult to take this fortified city in a short period of time without a trick, and after a long time, there is a risk that the veteran soldiers of the division will be tired, if the reinforcements of the Qi State arrive again, the front and rear will be attacked, and our army will be in danger!"
Right now. Outside the tent, Lang Zhongling Yang Fan reported: "Your Majesty, there is a special envoy of 'Qin Feng' from Qi to send it to you for 600 miles!" Oh, take it and see it!" Fusu had already guessed what the news was.
Yang Fan entered the account and presented a fire paint brocade box, Fusu opened it and couldn't help laughing: "The State of Qi has sent 150,000 troops to help the Chu army. It is estimated that it has now reached Zhangqiu County near Mount Tai! Lian once said, 'The ovary has ignorance and the ability to make decisions', this time you will accept it!" When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and they all looked respectful.
Qiang Kui said: "Your Majesty, in this case, how should our army be distributed at present?" Fusu thought about it for a moment and said: "In addition to Daliang, at present, Liu Bang has concentrated his troops in Chen County, Dang County, Dong County, Dong A, and Hanoi, and the rest of the small cities have all given up after all the grain and grass and baggage have been searched, and our army will also allocate troops according to this deployment." Hanoi doesn't care about it, there is Meng Yi. The Chu army did not dare to act rashly, and only needed to concentrate its forces to deal with the four cities of Chenjun, Dangjun, Dongjun, and Dong'e. Qiang Kui listens to orders!"
"The end will be!" After Chen Jun's death, the army's morale was weakened. It is not difficult to take it, and you will be ordered to command 20,000 troops to take Chen County in the south. Make no mistake! Remember: put on a posture and look aggressive! The general who defended the city was a cowardly man, and maybe he might surrender without a fight!" Whoa!"
"Zhao Tuo listens to the order!" The end will be!" Jointly order you to command 30,000 troops to Dangjun! Dangjun was originally the old land of Peng Yue, and the old nobles of the Wei State did not accept him. Now occupied by the Chu army, the old nobles of Wei must not be convinced, these people are greedy and vain, and they do not have much national consciousness. Yes. If you go to attack Dangjun, you need to be good at relying on the power of the old nobles of Wei, and you can make a decision at the opportunity and allow him to take a high position. After recovering Dangjun, we will make a plan!" Whoa!"
"Where is Yingbu and the baby?" The end will be!" The two of you led 100,000 troops to join the alliance to conquer Dongjun and Dong'e to meet the reinforcements of the Qi State!" Whoa!"
Seeing that the assignment had been completed, Fusu said to Zhang Liang: "Military advisor, I will all leave, and you will be the only one under the girder to preside over the overall situation, do you dare to obey the order?" Zhang Liang said with a smile: "There are still 150,000 soldiers of our army under the city of Daliang, and if you help the deep ditch high base and the gossip ancient array, the minister can ensure that Liu Bang can't get any cheap!"
"Okay, then I'll hand over the girder to you!" Fusu nodded and said, "Now that the assignment has stopped, the generals will return to the camp and prepare to set off tomorrow!" Whoa!" The crowd echoed.
The next day, Fusu personally led 100,000 Qin troops to ride on foot, and went straight to Dongjun in the starry night, and he wanted to capture this grain and grass land before the arrival of the Qi army.
In the blink of an eye, it was already April, and the sky and the earth were full of green, and spring was full of spring between the heavens and the earth.
On the official road leading to Dongjun, suddenly smoke and dust billowed from the ground, hooves sounded like thunder, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen turned out from behind a small hill, like a swift wind swept towards Dongjun. This is the main cavalry of the 50,000 Qin army led by Fusu, who is rushing to Dongjun day and night.
Fusu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead on the galloping horse, and said in a loud voice, "Where is the captain of the reprimand?" Immediately, a person behind him rushed forward and responded, "Your Majesty, what do you command?"
"How far is it from East County?" Fusu looked into the distance and asked quickly.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's about fifty miles!" He hurriedly replied.
"Where are the Qi reinforcements estimated now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the normal speed of Qi soldiers traveling 100 miles a day, they have probably passed Taishan City at present, and they are on their way to Licheng County. However, this area is mountainous, and I am afraid that the advance speed of the troops in the next few days will not be very fast!"
"Oh, got it! Yang Fan, the order of the Chuanlian: The cavalry will speed up and camp ten miles west of Dongjun tonight!" Whoa!" Yang Fan beat his horse and left.
Suddenly, the huge cavalry accelerated again, kicked up billowing smoke and dust, and galloped to the east.
In the evening, 50,000 Qin cavalry camped in Yinlongpo, ten miles west of Dongjun.
As soon as the camp was over, Fusu immediately summoned Yingbu, Guan Ying and other generals to discuss the matter.
"Generals, at the moment our army is taking advantage of the cavalry. First to the East County, and the Qi troops are still thousands of miles away from here, without more than ten days, they will not be able to reach the East County, which means that our army probably has at least ten days to capture the East County! It should be said that there are more than enough measures!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! However, our infantry is still near Jiyin County, and it will take three days to reach Dongjun, in fact, we only have seven days to attack the city! However, our cavalry that arrived first can temporarily build siege engines on the side. On the one hand, we will start a tentative attack on Dongjun, so that as soon as the infantry arrives, we can immediately attack the city in full force!" English sermons.
"It's a pity that Dongjun is blocking in front, our army can't take Dong'e directly, if we can take the lead in attacking Dong'e, our army will hold Jishui and Hanshui, and condescendingly storm the Qi reinforcements in the depression, you can give full play to the advantages of our army's cavalry, and the victory will be greatly increased!" There are some regrets about the baby.
Fusu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, looked at the terrain of the sand table near the left, and suddenly said, "Generals." If my army sends a light cavalry to smuggle across Jishui, take the mountain trails, avoid Fan County and Jibei County, which are currently ungarrisoned, and then cross Jishui and attack Dong'a Dihua. What are the odds?"
Yingbu calculated: "It is about seven hundred miles from Dongjun to Dong'a, plus some detours. As well as the time of two crossings of the water, the normal time is four days, and if you walk day and night, it will take at least five to six days! The Qi soldiers were only about 500 miles away from Dong'e, but because Mount Tai was dangerous. So, I'm afraid it's going to take at least six days! In this way, our army still has a chance, but. You have to hit it with one hit, or you'll have to retreat if you don't hit!"
Fusu thought for a while and said: "Yingbu is right, if you don't hit, you may be caught up by the Qi soldiers, so this is a dangerous move, especially the number of troops in this sneak attack can't be too much, once you fall into a heavy encirclement, the consequences are even more dangerous." However, the so-called military operation is dangerous, and the pros and cons are half each, considering the benefits of attacking Dong'e Houdi, this risk is still worth taking!"
At this time, Guan Ying suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if you want to take risks, simply be bolder!" The minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it!" Oh, General Guan, please tell me, was it very successful last time you offered a plan to take Phoenix Mountain!" Fusu smiled and said.
Guan Ying was flattered and said: "Your Majesty, since our army can steal Dong'e, then why can't our army sneak attack the grain and grass of the Qi army!?" The Qi army must have heard that our army was approaching Dongjun now, but they must not have imagined that our army would leave Dongjun and attack Dong'e for 700 miles, let alone that our army would sneak attack his army of more than 100,000 troops with light horses, and they would definitely be able to catch them off guard!"
Fusu smiled: "It seems that General Guan is even more daring than Lian's idea, but have you ever thought about how dangerous it will be to pull teeth out of a tiger mouth in an army of more than 100,000 people?"
Guan Ying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just thought, at that time, the position of the Qi army must be between Jinan and Dong'e, this area is not only north of Jishui, but also located between the two highlands of Dong'e and Taishan, the terrain is flat and low-lying, which is conducive to attack and not conducive to defense, especially conducive to light cavalry fluttering attacks, so, as long as the plan is proper and one blow is gone, our army can successfully attack its logistics troops with an iron cavalry of thousands of people, and then quickly cross Jishui to the north and withdraw to Dong'e!" Once the Qi army runs out of food, if it does not retreat, it will inevitably stop in the depression east of Dong'e to wait for food, so as to squeeze out time for our army's main force to quickly advance eastward after capturing Dongjun!"
Fusu thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "At present, Qi and Chu are both short of cavalry, and they lack the ability and experience to use cavalry, so they must not have imagined that our army can run for seven or eight hundred miles continuously, and the plan of sneaking up on the grain and grass of Dong'e and Qi is still completely feasible." If it really succeeds, it must be another miracle in the history of our Chinese war! Yingbu, the task of sneaking up on Dong'a will be completed by you with 10,000 'broken army' cavalry, the 'broken army' is all one person and two horses, and after rigorous training and a hundred battles, you will definitely be able to take on this heavy responsibility! However, you are the commander of the battle, whether you can attack Dong'a or not depends on your ability, do you dare to respond to the order?"
Yingbu said loudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if Yingbu can't complete the order, he is willing to come to see him!" Good! Waiting for your good news! Guan Ying, you and the five tigers under your command led five thousand cavalry from the headquarters to attack the Qi army's grain and grass, and I will also match you with one person and two horses, do you dare to obey?" Fusu visually irrigated the baby.
Guan Ying said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely live up to his mission!"
"Okay, the two of you will go back to the village immediately, tell the sergeants that they have drunk and drunk, and they will set off to cross the water at the third watch!" Whoa!"
Dong'e County, an important border area of Qi and Chu. Although the city is small, it is very strong, all made of bluestone, nearly three zhang high. When Liu Bang attacked Wei before, although the guard Wei He was the clan of Wei, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and after seeing that the general trend of Wei had gone, he surrendered Liu Bang, so Dong'e City was basically not damaged by much war, and the city was still very complete. If you really want to attack. There are 100,000 troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take such a strong city in ten days and eight days. Of course, the danger of the army may be a different story!
At this time, it was midnight, the sky was gloomy, and there were not a few stars to be seen, and because there had just been a small spring rain near Dong'e during the day, it was quite a bit of a 'cold spring'. A cold wind blew, and the Chu soldiers at the head of Dong'e City couldn't help but shrink their necks.
On the east city gate, several dead wind lamps were swaying in the gloomy wind. The candlelight flickered on the city, which had a strange smell. And more than a dozen Chu soldiers on duty at the city gate were cowering behind the battlements, dozing. Because the battlefield is still far from Dong'a. Therefore, the vigilance of the Chu army is pitiful! Moreover, half of the Chu army in Dong'e City was the Wei army that had surrendered. Half of them are recently recruited recruits, and military discipline and morale are not very good, so of course it is not surprising that there is such a situation!
Gradually the third watch, suddenly there was a rumbling hoof sound outside the city. woke up the soldiers of the Chu army on duty in the city. They looked in amazement: in the dark night, a cavalry was hurrying towards Dong'a City, and it was impossible to see how many people there were, because there were no lights. It's just that from the rumbling hooves, you can tell that there are quite a few cavalry!
"Stop, who's who?" The Chu army was not ambiguous, and they opened their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at the city.
"Don't let go of the arrows, we are the Qi army, and we are here to reinforce Dong'a Di on the orders of Prime Minister Tian Cheng!" In the dark night, someone responded loudly!
"Qi Jun!? Didn't you say that you could only arrive tomorrow afternoon, why did you run over in the middle of the night!?" The Chu troops at the head of the city hesitated for a while, and the warning signals they were about to send stopped: just kidding, if it is really a friendly army, if it is a random warning, it is a big crime to kill the head!
And just when the Chu army was stunned, they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and continued to rush towards the city at a very fast speed. Finally, the Chu army discovered the abnormality, and the head of the Chu army on duty in the city shouted: "Stop, don't go any further!" Ah, no, the black military flag, oh my God, it's Qin Jun, warn quickly!" The commander of the Chu army shouted in horror.
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of arrows suddenly erupted in the dark and dreary night, which immediately drowned the city in the bloody wind and blood pressure rain, and the sober consciousness of the poor Chu army commander also came to an end. In the face of the 'broken army's godly riding and archery skills, anyone is dead, let alone an overwhelming curtain of arrows!?
Yingbu also drew his bow and arrows, and shot a Chu soldier who was trying to ring the alarm desperately, and then shouted: "Quick, the front army throws Suoden City and opens the city gate!" Whoa!" In the night, hundreds of 'flying cloud ropes' were thrown out in an instant, accurately lassosing the battlements, and then hundreds of 'broken army' cavalry dismounted at a rapid pace, and climbed towards the city like monkeys.
"Dangdang ......" Just as the first batch of Qin troops landed in the city, the belated alarm bell finally sounded in the sky above Dong'e. It's a pity that it's too late, when the Chu army in the city is chaotic like a swarm of headless flies, the fierce 'broken army' cavalry has already swept into Dong'e City from the open east city gate like black waves.
In an instant, the blue light flashed wildly, the war halberd flew, and the Chu army that was blocking the way was almost powerless and was led into the blood-colored hell by the black war horse. For a time, the city of Dong'e was filled with cries begging for mercy and cries of terror......
Later, everything was very logical, the very murderous 'broken army' cavalry swept the whole city almost in just one hour, and those who resisted were slaughtered regardless of the army and civilians, until the Dong'e city was bleeding and corpses were piled up! If it weren't for Fusu's strict order not to slaughter civilians for no reason, I'm afraid that this group of madmen who take pleasure in killing people would be able to kill Dong'e City into a hell on earth in two hours! Even so, when the murderous Jiang Feng led a team of 'broken troops' to break into the mansion of the guard Wei He, he still killed the Wei Mansion without leaving a chicken and dog!
Before dawn, the war was over, and Dong'a City fell!
And almost at the same time, Dong'e Town, which is more than sixty miles away from Dong'e City, also started another classic raid battle......
The sky was still gloomy, and it seemed to be darker than before, and the last dark curtain before dawn seemed a little terrifyingly silent!
A gust of yin wind carried the damp water from the Jishui, blowing the torches on the rear camp of the Qi army to shake wildly, and every time it seemed to be extinguished, it could always regain its sight.
Behind the barracks. The Qi army sentries were dozing off and were tired and exhausted after days of hurrying, and now they were still far from the battlefield, and the Qi army, who had little combat experience at all, naturally did not have much vigilance!
And on the shore of Jishui, which is about two thousand steps away, across a low hill, a light cavalry force of thousands of people is just wearing ** single clothes, leading a horsetail to grab the slightly turbulent Jishui!
"Yawn-" Although it was spring, the river was still a little chilly, and from time to time, some soldiers of the Qin army still couldn't stop the cold and shivered lowly.
The baby whispered: "Pass the order, be quiet, and quickly change into dry clothes and armor." Prepare for the assault!" Whoa!" The herald went down.
The Qin soldiers began to take off their wet single clothes, and changed into dry clothes and armor wrapped in oiled paper and tied to the back of the horse.
Soon, the well-trained Qin troops finished their armor and got on their horses. The baby snorted softly and said, "Go!" The group disappeared into the darkness of the night.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in a damp cloth, and it was very quiet to walk in the dark. In this way, the five thousand Qin horsemen quietly approached the rear camp of the Qi army under the leadership of Guan Ying.
About five hundred steps away from the Qi camp, Guan Ying waved his hand. Five thousand Qin rode off their horses and lay down in the knee-deep weeds, quietly watching the movements of the camp.
I looked at it for a moment. Guan Ying found that Qi Ying did not have the slightest defense, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: "Angel, I have achieved great achievements!" He stood up and shouted in a low voice: "All on the horse, prepare for the assault!"
"Bang la la" in a slight sound of armor rubbing. Five thousand light horsemen, each armed with a heavy halberd, were ready for battle.
Guan Ying took a breath and said in his heart: "This is the first battle I have commanded independently, and I must do it beautifully." Glory and wealth in one fell swoop!" Thinking. The infant shouted like a thunderbolt: "Brothers, rush me!" Burn all the Qi camps and kill all the Qi soldiers! Kill—"
Suddenly, the silence of the wilderness seemed to erupt like a sudden burst of thunder: the cries of killing rose up like a landslide and swept up like a raging hurricane, and the slightly dull sound of hooves shook wildly in the night sky like a rapid drum beat.
"Oh no, Qin Bing is here!" The Qi army sentry who was awakened was frightened, and fled backwards while shouting frantically.
"Boom, Boom—" Sharp, accurate cavalry crossbows quickly fired, and thousands of green arrows flew into the Qi camp in an instant, drowning the Qi sentry in a rain of arrows.
In the blink of an eye, the antlers were dragged away, the barracks were torn apart, and the elite horsemen were swept into the camp like a black torrent.
The massacre began: the galloping iron cavalry broke into the barracks, the green light was flying, it was killing people when they saw them, cutting down soldiers when they saw them, the tents were torn down one after another, and a famous Qi soldier was still asleep when he was trampled through the chest and pierced the throat by the galloping iron hooves. In an instant, the Qi camp became a blood-colored hell, full of deserters from the Qi army who were fleeing in all directions.
It's a pity, although there are no less than 30,000 soldiers in the rear camp of the Qi army, but these people are all recruits who have not experienced any battle formations, and they have just put down their hoes and gone to the battlefield after a short period of training. Under the fierce attack of these iron-blooded soldiers of Qin Cavalry and the fierce storm, 30,000 people were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and soon gave up resistance, only to flee for their lives!
The Qin army was like a bamboo, and soon reached the center of the camp, and suddenly the mountains of grain, grass, and baggage came into view, and I am afraid that there were no less than five or six thousand vehicles.
The baby shouted: "Quick, burn it for me, burn it all, and don't leave the car!" Whoa!" The Qin soldiers roared, each carrying torches, setting fire everywhere, and was very busy, and in an instant, the mountain-like grain, grass and baggage turned into a sea of fire.
In the raging flames, the triumphant whistling and rumbling iron hooves of the Qin soldiers were everywhere.
Seeing that the baby was almost over, the Qi soldiers estimated that they would be really hungry for a few days, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, withdraw the troops!" In an instant, the drums and trumpets sounded, and the Qin horsemen who were scurrying around and setting fires quickly converged into a torrent of steel. Where did they come from, and where did they kill them back?
It's a pity, the Qi soldiers in the northern camp have just been ravaged by a good meal, and they have come back to their senses, but this group of killing gods has rolled back again, and they are immediately frightened and scattered. The Qin soldiers laughed, threw the torches in their hands everywhere, and threw the Qi army camp tent into a sea of fire.
As soon as he came out of the Qi camp, suddenly the iron hooves in the west were like thunder, the shouts shook the sky, and the torches were as bright as the nebula, and a large army rushed forward.
The baby laughed and said, "Hehe." Qi reinforcements are coming! Where are the five tigers?" The end will be!" Do you dare to go with someone and meet the army for a while!" What to fear!"" Okay, kill me!"
Guan Ying was just about to make a hurricane, and Zhao Fufeng, the left lieutenant beside him, hurriedly said: "General, don't be reckless, the Qi army is overwhelming, or you should quickly cross the north to Jishui!" Guan Ying said unhappily: "The Qi army is near, our army is still going to cross the river, and if we don't fight to the death, how can we grab time!?" Don't say it, you lead 3,000 troops to cross the river first. I'll lead 2,000 men to fight to the death!" Whoa!" Zhao Fufeng had no choice but to take the order.
"Sons, let the ladies and soldiers see how powerful my Qin army is riding! Remember the slogans of our army?" The baby shouted hard.
"The iron cavalry is invincible, only the Great Qin ......" The mountainslide-like cry carried a murderous aura and pride.
"Hahaha....... Great!" The baby shouted: "Let's drink and swear to kill the enemy!" said. Picked off the Qin army's essential wine bag from under the horse's belly, and drank for a while. The Qin cavalry also concocted the same method, facing the battle formation, and their expressions remained unchanged. Drink on your back.
The spicy liquor crossed the throat and rushed into the limbs and hundreds of points of the Qin soldiers like a burning fire, and in an instant, their eyes were also red. His eyes were also red, and his chest was surging with bloodthirsty desire and violent battle intent!
The baby threw wine on the ground and shouted, "Kill ......!" Kill ......!" The two thousand Qin cavalry shouted, and the iron hooves were like thunder, rolling westward, and rushed straight to the reinforcements of the Qi army.
Between the lightning and flint, the furious Qin cavalry crashed into the vanguard cavalry of the Qi army, and where the green halberd flew, the ear cage was suddenly filled with the screams of the Qi soldiers and the wails of the war horses. This 2,000-strong cavalry slaughtered the 5,000-strong cavalry of the Qi army to the point that people were on their backs and bleeding.
"Hahaha...... Happy, happy, men should kill, I will walk alone for thousands of miles!" Guan Ying screamed, his eyes were open like two copper bells, and the green halberd in his hand mercilessly slashed a famous Qi horse to the ground. The five tigers of the Guan clan followed closely behind, and they did not show weakness, and their armor was flat everywhere, and there was only no enemy under the halberd.
For a time, the arrows of the Qin army formed by these six tigers killed Qi Qi to the point of blood and invincible. Soon, the cavalry of the Qi army, who did not have much experience in war, was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, and was immediately unable to bear the strength, and was defeated like a flock of chaotic ducks, and knocked down countless Qi soldiers behind the formation.
"Hahaha!" Guan Ying laughed loudly: "The cowardly mouse generation, dare to chase!" Withdraw, cross the river!" Huh-" The Qin soldiers howled wolf, laughed and rolled up a whirlwind like the north. Behind him, the Qi camp was blazing and burning!
When the Qi army regrouped and came to retaliate again, Guan Ying led Qin to cross the Jishui and ran away without a trace!
For a while, he only made Na Tian Rong angry like thunder and thunderstorm......
At the head of the eastern county, flames soared into the air, wailing again and again, and countless 'fire dragons' and 'shooting stars' fell from the sky, constantly launching fierce attacks on the city walls. The walls are made of bluestone. But under the onslaught of the heavens and the earth for four consecutive days, there are still cracks everywhere and countless pits, and it looks precarious.
Fusu stood far behind the battle formation, carefully observing the battle under the protection of Lang Zhong and the Tiger Ben army, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "Yang Fan, you lead 10,000 troops to attack from the northwest corner, Wang Xi, you lead 5,000 Tiger Ben troops to help." If you can break the city, you will be rewarded!" Whoa!" The second general responded.
Soon, the 10,000 Qin army foot soldiers and 5,000 tiger troops were reorganized, and in the beating of war drums, more than 10,000 people rushed forward with shouts, aiming at the northwest corner and began to attack fiercely.
"Xiu ......" The arrow curtain in the sky was continuous, wave after wave, flying back and forth over the city, and from time to time there were soldiers of the Chu army and the Qin army screaming and wailing with arrows!
The focus of the Qin army's attack this time was: Jingqi, Chongche, Yunche and Xuanyuanche. The leader is naturally the well, which is about a foot higher than the city wall of Dongjun, and the arrow tower sprays a curtain of arrows like rain from time to time, fiercely and accurately suppressing the Chu soldiers at the head of the northwest wall, covering the rapid advance of most of the Qin army.
Then he rushed up and began to violently hit the city in the northwest corner, and in an instant, the wall began to shake violently. From time to time, bluestone crumbles into stone chips and flies in all directions under the slamming of the sturdy corners. The cracks in the already cracked walls began to expand rapidly, smiling like big mouths.
The soldiers of the Qin army on the cloud car and the Xuanyuan car directly approached the city wall with the help of advanced designs, and launched a fierce attack on the city head. In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, the ground kept shaking, like an earthquake.
In the distance, the Chu army rushed from various cities to the northwest corner for reinforcements, and launched a fierce competition with the Qin army that kept pouring up. After a while, the Qin army was pressed down, and after a while, the Qin army stormed up again...... For a time, the two sides launched a tragic tug-of-war in the head of the eastern county.
The corpses piled up higher and higher under the city. The more and more they gathered, and gradually it was difficult for even the siege equipment to get close......
Fusu stood in the distance, frowning a little when he saw this: This Chu army is really tenacious enough, and it is worthy of being one of the most powerful opponents of the Qin State when the Seven Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony.
Suddenly, a fast horse suddenly rushed over from the side of the battlefield with a loud killing sound, and the knight's black armor red flag on it was Hongling's urgent envoy. "Report to Your Majesty——, Dong'e was a great victory, and General Yingbu succeeded in attacking and occupying Dong'e City in one fell swoop. And General Guan Ying is also outside Dong'e Town, and the Qi army's grain and grass are burned to a fine light!" The messenger dismounts and shouts loudly!
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Great, God help me!" Come. Spread the news to the three armies!" Whoa!" The herald answered and galloped down. shouted all the way: "Dong'e is a great victory, General Yingbu attacked and occupied Dong'e, and General Guan Ying broke the Qi army'......"
Suddenly, the Qin soldiers who heard the news seemed to have taken stimulants. Once again, he regrouped and swooped down on the head of the East County City.
Seeing this, the Chu soldiers secretly complained: Dong'e was taken away, which means that the reinforcements of the Qi State will not be able to come for a while! was frightened, so I had to cheer up and block it again.
This is nearly four days. The Chu army, which was mostly a temporary patchwork of new recruits from Wei and Chu, had been killed or wounded more than half of them due to the fierce attack of the Qin army due to their lack of actual combat experience; And basically they are all veterans, but the casualties of the Qin army are less than 5,000, and the wounded have basically been well treated, so now the Qin army is becoming more and more courageous, but the Chu army is becoming more and more difficult to support and in a hurry. Especially a few days ago, because the reinforcements of Qi State were about to arrive, the Chu army of Dongjun had something to rely on, so the resistance was very tenacious, otherwise I am afraid that Dongjun would have already fallen, but now that Dong'e has been captured and there is no way to reinforce the army, the morale of the Chu army has immediately dropped, and the resistance has become half-hearted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and launched a new round of onslaught against the city in the northwest corner of Dongjun. Seeing that another wave of Qin soldiers went to the city and started hand-to-hand combat with the Chu army, and the wall gradually collapsed under the violent impact of the rushing car, Fusu couldn't help laughing: "Qin Hu, you led the 'wolf teeth' to help Yang Fan and Wang Xi, you must solve Dongjun for me today!" Whoa!" Qin Hu is also a veteran now, and said loudly: "'Wolf Fang' warriors, follow me to assault and kill ——!" The 'wolf fangs' who were waiting for the battle shouted, chased the Qin army's foot soldiers and the ass of the tiger army and killed the head of Dongjun City.
'Wolf Teeth' is completely a group of killing machines, the most bloodthirsty in the Qin army, as soon as they kill the city, the already precarious battle situation immediately collapsed: the fierce 'wolf teeth' waved the bronze long sword, saw the Chu soldiers to kill, see the Chu generals to kill, the sword almost united with the enemy, straight to the Chu army is fleeing east and west, embarrassed. When the killing was successful, even the soldiers of the Qin army in front of him also kicked away, and they rushed forward to kill them.
Soon, at the same time that the Qin army was fighting bloody robes, the wall in the northwest corner finally collapsed under the fierce attack of four consecutive days: "Boom-" At a loud bang, the huge wall fell vertically, stirring up dust in the sky, mixed with the miserable wails of the soldiers of the two armies who could not escape.
"Kill ——!" The 30,000 cavalry of the Qin army, who were waiting outside the city, shouted, and the iron hooves were like thunder, leaving aside the infantry brothers, and rushed into the gap first, and the Qin army foot soldiers who were eating ashes in the back were so angry that they cursed!
Soon, with the fall of the West City, the South City, the North City, and the East City fell in turn. In the evening twilight, a faint layer of red mist shrouded in the sky over Dongjun, and the smell was fishy!
After the fall of Dongjun, Fusu left 5,000 soldiers to garrison, and 3,000 wounded soldiers left. The rest of the army of about 80,000 immediately pointed east to Dong'a to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army!
Dong'e City, County Hall, Inner Hall.
The dusty Fusu had just arrived in Dong'a in the evening, and before he had rested, he convened the generals to discuss the matter.
"Generals, since our army entered Weidi, the war has been relatively smooth. In particular, the two battles of General Yingbu and General Guan Ying in Dong'a are also classics, and they can't be appreciated! Yingbu listens to the seal, and you will eat a thousand things!" Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"Fill the baby, you are brave and strategic. The attack on the camp was successful, and he was able to retreat with his whole body, which was quite successful. Lian will add you to be a partial general!" Thank you, Your Majesty!" Baby-filling is also jubilant.
"The rest of the meritorious generals will be rewarded after the war is over!" Whoa!" When the generals saw that the war was going well, they were also happy.
Fusu turned his head and asked Yingbu, "Yingbu, where is the Qi army now?" Yingbu hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Qi army has almost run out of food since it was burned clean by General Guan to burn the grain, grass and baggage, and can only urgently transfer grain from nearby Jinan County to barely maintain it, waiting for the follow-up supply of grain and grass. So these days, I have only retreated to the camp for thirty miles, and other than that, there is no other movement!"
"Oh? That Tian Heng didn't return to the Qi country!?" Fusu asked in surprise. "Yes. Your Majesty, I just retreated thirty miles and camped!" Yingbu replied.
"Hmm. That's kind of weird!" Fusu was a little puzzled: "It stands to reason that a really good commander, knowing that the army has no food and grass and morale is unstable, should retreat to a safe area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and wait for backup." This Tian Heng shouldn't be a stupid person. What does it mean that he is not leaving?"
Guan Ying smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks there may be three points: first, most of the Qi soldiers led by Tian Heng are not elite, they are basically recruits who have just been recruited from the Qi State, and they don't have much actual combat experience. Tian Heng must have been a little afraid of the combat ability of our cavalry, and did not dare to retreat rashly, otherwise once our army chased after him and attacked fiercely, it was very likely that the current morale of the Qi soldiers would be crushed with one blow. Second, Tian Heng is arrogant and unconvinced, he sent troops to save Chu in this campaign, and he was beaten hard when he didn't make an inch, he must be very embarrassed, if he returns to Jinan, Qi State, he will be laughed at by the people of the world! Third, this place is not far from the Qi country, and if you wait for a few days, the follow-up grain and grass of the Qi army will come up, so Tian Rong may think that there is no need to retreat, even if the main force of our army is killed, he can also resist for a few days and wait until the arrival of grain and grass!"
"Hmm——," Fusu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What General Guan said is reasonable, Tian Heng probably thinks the same way!" However, after all, he has not had many direct battles with our army, and he still underestimates our army, especially the Lian, does he think that the Lian can let him wait for the arrival of the grain and grassland in peace!? It's ridiculous!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Fusu's mouth.
"Your Majesty, but there is a good plan?" Yingbu asked with great joy.
Fusu smiled and said, "Yingbu, has the nearby terrain sand table been drawn?" Yingbu hurriedly said: "It's already over, come on, bring the sand table!" Whoa!" A few of his own soldiers carried the terrain sand table near Dong'a.
Fusu asked, "Where is the Qi army stationed now?" Back to Your Majesty, here, Wuyang Town to the east of Dong'e Town!" The baby hurriedly pointed out.
"Hahaha......" Fusu laughed and said: "Tian Heng doesn't know the soldiers, and he will kill himself!" What does Your Majesty mean by that?" The generals were stunned.
Fusu said with a smile: "Zhuqing, please see, the area from Jinan to Dong'e is low-lying, and it is close to Jishui and is located downstream. Don't you hear of Sun Bin's art of war: those who are out of water, welcoming the tomb, going against the current, dwelling in the killing ground, and welcoming the trees, all of them are also lifted, and all five are invincible. That is to say: where there is no water, where there are hills, where rivers are downstream, where the terrain is unfavorable, where there are forests, do not use troops, otherwise it will be difficult to win. Zhu Qing looks, this Tian Heng is now invincible against the current and killing land, isn't he seeking his own death!? What's more, he now has no food and grass, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. As long as a big flood goes down, the general trend is set!"
The generals were enlightened, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's ridiculous that this Tian Heng has retreated to Wuyang, occupied a high place, and is ready to defend it!" Fusu said with a smile: "Lian has always used troops, so he does not advocate attacking and breaking the enemy, this is the next policy, and it should be based on strategy to defeat the enemy." This is the way of my Huaxia Celestial Empire!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The generals were subdued to Fusu and threw themselves to the ground, taking a look at the terrain. It laid down Tian Heng's defeat!
"Then, our army is silent for the time being, but secretly builds a raft, and waits for tomorrow evening to block the water near Dong'e Town, and release the water at dawn, so that the soldiers can taste the taste of floods!" The crowd laughed.
"However, in order to prevent the Qi soldiers from discovering my actions of building ships and dams, we must suppress the Qi soldiers in the camp near Wuyang! Yingbu and Guan Ying, you and you each bring 20,000 horsemen, and they will surround the Qi camp early tomorrow morning. Harass in turns, wait until the first watch, quickly retreat west to a high place to live, do not fall in love, otherwise the flood will be ruthless!" Whoa!" Yingbu and Irbaby listen to the order!
Wenqiu, located on the side of Chu in the border area between Jinan County of Qi and Dong'e County of Chu State, the mountain is not high, but about 100 meters, so people do not call it a mountain, but a hill! At present, more than 100,000 Qi troops are piling troops here. Anxiously waiting for food. For a while, in the night, the lights up and down the pochu were brilliant and bright like stars. It contrasts with the nebulae of the heavens.
The night was getting deeper, but the lights on the ground didn't mean much to go out. Still holding on to their posts energetically, the soldiers at the night vigil were even more tired, but they were still staring at the hazy wilderness of the night. Of course, it's not that the soldiers don't want to rest. Instead, tens of thousands of Qin cavalry had been desperately harassing and harassing around the Qi camp since daytime, frightening the Qi soldiers from resting at ease. Although the Qin army has not come to make trouble for a long time since the first watch, who knows when they will come again. Therefore, the Qi soldiers didn't dare to be careless: if they fell asleep, the Qin army would kill them, and they would die unjustly!
Slowly, the moon receded toward the western horizon, and the earth fell into its darkest pre-dawn hour.
"Ahh
The companions around him also complained bitterly: "Yes, this Qin soldier can really toss, and he tossed us for a whole day and a half of the night, but fortunately, in the second half of the night, we finally settled down for a while!" I see it's almost dawn, and they won't come!"
"Shut up!" The leading Wu Commander shouted dissatisfiedly: "Look at your bear-like, Qin Bing will definitely be the first to die when he comes!" Cheer me up, people are most likely to get sleepy before dawn, and Qin Jun is very likely to come again! Don't forget how those brothers died during the day!"
Zhu Qibing shuddered when he heard this, and remembered the scene during the day:
At the beginning, when the Qin cavalry came to attack and disturb, the Qi army ignored it, and just stuck to the camp and did not fight. Later, the Qin army was in a hurry, and took turns to attack the Qi camp with bows and crossbows, but they always wandered on the edge of the range of the Qi country's crossbows, so they quickly shot and killed many Qi sentries, which led Tian Heng to thunder, and finally couldn't hold back and lead the troops to battle.
Who would have thought that as soon as the tens of thousands of troops came out, the cavalry of the Qin State immediately turned into cunning foxes: they did not want to fight head-on, but only slowly retreated to the west, kept a distance of one or two hundred steps from the Qi army, and fiercely attacked the Qi army with cavalry crossbows from a distance. It's just a pity that the cavalry of the Qi State has less than 10,000 people, the number is far less than that of the Qin cavalry, and the combat power and speed are greatly inferior to the Qin army, so they dare not break away from the main infantry force and fight a decisive battle with the Qin cavalry. So, how could the Qi cavalry who was advancing with the infantry catch up with the Qin cavalry, but they were quickly shot all over the head, defeated, and retreated back in disgrace.
Once the Qi soldiers were defeated and demoralized, the Qin cavalry turned into a fierce and vicious wolf pack: they chased after the Qi army, constantly recording the outer strength of the Qi army layer by layer with bows and crossbows like peeling fruit, and even launched one or two fierce assaults from time to time to intercept the Qi army's panicked infantry units due to the withdrawal. For a time, the casualties of the Qi army increased rapidly, but they couldn't structure the Qin cavalry, chased and didn't dare to chase, so they had to flee back to the village in embarrassment and guard the door.
Since then, Qin Qi has become more and more rampant, constantly wandering around the Qi camp, seizing an opportunity to kill the general, and immediately fleeing every day after taking a profit, so angry that Tian Heng is thunderous, but he is also helpless! In this way, Qin Qi kept making trouble for a day and a half of the night, and then reluctantly retreated. However, during this period of time, the casualties of the Qi State were very large, more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded in battle, while the casualties of the Qin army were negligible, so now when the Qin cavalry is mentioned, the Qi army is all talking about the tiger color change: this is a hundred battles that can match the grassland elite cavalry!
Wu Chang saw that all the soldiers were afraid. scolded: "What are you afraid of, my Qi country boy is also a dignified seven-foot hero, Qin Jun will come when he comes, and he will fight with them!" Zhu Qibing didn't dare to refute in his mouth, but he muttered to himself in his heart: "You have to fight hard, I am a common man, I usually only know how to pay rent for cultivated land, if you don't forcibly requisition me, I won't come." I still have a daughter-in-law and children to take care of at home, what if I die, what will happen to them!"
That's it. This bed-like Qi army patrol kept parading around the edge of the North Village. Soon, the last rays of darkness before dawn passed, and a red halo appeared in the eastern sky, and gradually the sun showed a small half of its face, and the clouds on the horizon were red and red—it was almost dawn!
Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sound of thunder in the northern sky, and all the soldiers immediately became alert as if reflexively, and looked nervously at the still dark wilderness in the north. Gradually, the thunder seemed to be getting louder and louder, and the Qi soldiers who really heard it were a little surprised: they had listened to the hooves of Qin cavalry for more than a day. It doesn't seem to be like this thunder, is it going to rain?
All the soldiers looked up at the sky: It's very good, the sun is almost out. The horizon is red! So what is this sound?
All the soldiers were puzzled, and suddenly a few Qin cavalry soldiers from the north who had retreated and scattered out rushed back desperately. Crying out in horror: "The great water is coming, the great water is coming!" Brothers, run to the heights!" ……”
All the Qi soldiers were stunned when they heard this: "The big water is coming!?" Where's the water!?" In this stunned moment, in the hazy morning light. A huge white line rumbled from the northern horizon and rolled quickly.
"Damn——!" As soon as the soldiers shouted, they were immediately frightened, and immediately left the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the boqiu. Behind them, the raging waters were roaring loudly, and they were in hot pursuit!
The huge flood crest quickly rushed to the edge of the barracks. A wave crashed, and the seemingly sturdy fence was swept away without a trace. As soon as the rushing flood rushed into the barracks, it immediately showed its great power, and it was like destroying and decaying everything in its path. For a while, near the camp of the Qi army, amid the rumbling thunder, there were countless cries of panic and desperate wails of Qi soldiers.
Wretched. In a blink of an eye. Except for a few Qi soldiers on duty, there were a few who escaped. Most of the sleeping Qi soldiers stationed under the boqiu were swallowed up by the flood.
Hong Feng soon swept under the Hanqiu, like a flood demon who did not admit defeat, rolled up one wave after another and violently attacked Hanqiu, from time to time there were Qi soldiers who fled to the Hanqiu were swept away and swallowed up by the huge waves......
Tian Heng, who was stationed at the top of Hanqiu, was awakened by a loud noise in his sleep, and ran out of the tent barefoot in a hurry, and when he saw the terrible scene of the huge waves under Hanqiu, he was suddenly frightened, and his mind was blank: It's over!
The sun gradually rose, and the water slowly subsided. Under the warm sunshine, the Hanqiu, which is like an island in the water, is crowded with dense escape soldiers, from time to time the soldiers are sobbing in a low voice, and soon, the whole Hanqiu is crying, and the heart-wrenching grief makes the soldiers almost collapse: this night, how many relatives and friends, life and death friends are lost in the water!
On the sparkling water, there are broken camps, white tents, and countless swollen corpses of people and horses floating everywhere, drifting with the waves of low waves, what a hell on earth!
From time to time, corpses floated to the side of Hanqiu, and were salvaged by the living Qi soldiers, and immediately there would be a burst of cries from relatives and friends. Occasionally, there are Qi soldiers who survived in the flood peak and floated to the vicinity of Hanqiu with one or two broken planks, and after being rescued by the Qi soldiers on the hill, the illusion of rebirth made those soldiers who were lucky enough to escape cry in the face of the endless water!
Just when there was a commotion on Hanqiu, the war drums in the northern sky were beating, and hundreds of bamboo and wooden rafts were the first to row, which were covered with Qin soldiers with strong halberds and crossbows. Behind them, there was a white sail shadow, full of Qin soldiers, who were riding the wind and waves, speeding in—it seemed that the ferries near Dong'e had been swept away by the Qin army.
The soldiers of the Qi army on the poqiu were stunned when they saw this, and their faces were as frightened as a blank piece of paper: in the great water last night, the soldiers of the Qi army were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and who was willing to escape with heavy weapons, so although there were no less than 30,000 remnants of the Qi army on Hanqiu, most of them were unarmed. Only Tian Heng's personal guard, 'Hengshan Shi', who was originally stationed in Hanqiu with less than 10,000 people, is still in full combat force.
'Hengshan Shi' came to the name of 'rampant and unmovable, immovable like a mountain', and was a private soldier who was Tian Heng's cronies, and was the most powerful professional force in the Qi army. Although this is the case, in the face of the overwhelming Qin army corps, how much effect can these 10,000 'Hengshan soldiers' have!?
Tian Heng saw this scene on Boqiu, and he was also silent, his face was a little frightened, and he really regretted why he didn't withdraw the army to Jinan because he was worried about some unrealistic face, but he chose such a taboo place for soldiers to station!
Just thinking about it. There was another sound of war drums at the foot of the hill, and the bamboo and rafts of the Qin army in the lead had already surrounded Hanqiu. Suddenly, a light boat sailed out of the Qin army's raft fleet and headed straight for Boqiu, with a middle-aged envoy in civilian clothes on it, except for two swaying Qin soldiers.
In the distance, the Qin envoy shouted: "I am the Qin envoy, I am the Qin envoy, I ask to see General Tian Heng on the order of my lord, and I will not release the arrow!" Hearing this, the 'Hengshan Warriors', who had already rushed to the water's edge to draw their bows and crossbows, and were about to release their arrows, put down their bows and crossbows. Let the messenger go ashore.
"On the orders of Emperor Great Qin, the envoys of the Qin State will meet General Tian Heng, please lead the way!" Accumulation turned a blind eye to the vicious gaze of the soldiers on the hill. He talked calmly.
A 'Hengshan Shi' pawn looked at the accumulation coldly, and said coldly: "Come with me!" said. And with the accumulation he ascended to the top of the hill. Ji Cun saw: There were frightened Qi soldiers everywhere along the way, and the fierce eyes were eager to swallow the accumulation alive, but the 'Hengshan soldiers' who were stationed at the bottom of the hill and on the mountainside all looked solemn and calm, and there was no fear in their eyes. More anger and murderousness!
At the top of the hill, because there was no crowding of ordinary soldiers, the place seemed much more empty, surrounded by a group of 'Hengshan soldiers'. A tall, red-faced, bearded man stands majestically on the top of the mountain, looking out over the water surface of Haohan.
"Prime Minister, the envoy of the Qin State asks to see him!" The chief reported respectfully.
Tian Heng turned his head expressionlessly, looked at the accumulation, and said coldly: "Say, what is the matter with Fusu sending you?" Somehow, he felt a tremor in his heart, as if he was shocked by the indomitable spirit on this Tian Heng's body, and he was busy calming down, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty my lord has heard the general's name for a long time, and knows that the general is a hero in the world, so he loves him deeply. Now that the general trend is gone, why not surrender early!? This not only saved his own life, but also prevented the remaining tens of thousands of Qi soldiers from losing their lives! I wonder what the general thinks?"
"Hahaha......" Tian Heng laughed out loud when he heard this, and said with a smile that he was a little inexplicable: "Why is the general laughing?"
“…… Hmph!" Tian Heng snorted coldly and said: "I, Tian Heng, am an eight-foot man, standing up to the sky and the earth, how can I bend my knees to others!" You tell Fusu that my Qi people are also bloody, and he wants to win, let him exchange the blood of the Qin army for it!"
Ji Cun was stunned, shook his head and said: "How unwise is the general, above Hanqiu, although there are still tens of thousands of Qi troops, most of them are bare-handed and demoralized, like such a ruined army resisting my tiger and wolf army, wouldn't it cost the soldiers their lives in vain!?" The general is also a hero in the world, how can he let the soldiers give up their lives for his own bravery, and spread it out, won't it make the world's teeth cold!"
"You!" Tian Heng was furious, his mane was all open, like a fierce lion! Ji Cun was stunned, but he also looked at Tian Heng without fear. For a while, the two of them stared at each other, which was similar to two fighting cocks!
After a long time, Tian Heng snorted and said: "Since you say so, then let your Qin people see if there is a bad seed in my Qi country!" As he spoke, Tian Heng shouted loudly around him: "My soldiers of the Qi State, the Qin people asked us to surrender, and you say, whether we surrender or not!" The loud hand voice was like thunder, mixed with a trembling domineering, and it spread in Hanqiu.
"Qi people don't descend! Qi people don't surrender ......" First the 'Hengshan Shi' on the top of Hanqiu shouted loudly, and then the Qi troops under Hanqiu also shouted enthusiastically. For a time, tens of thousands of Qi troops up and down Hanshan shouted loudly, and the sound was like thunder, and the shock was so great that their faces changed color and they were sweating!
Tian Heng looked at Ji Cun coldly and said, "You heard, my Qi country boy is willing to surrender!" Ji Cun smiled and said: "The general governs the army well, and the three armies are willing to die for the service, Ji admires it!" It's just that the generals are not real heroes, really good commanders, they make decisions, cherish the lives of the soldiers under their command, and never make senseless sacrifices! The general died in a bloody battle today. Also known as the Upper Hero!"
Tian Heng's face was hideous when he heard this, his fists clenched a little "rattling", and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, but Ji Cun had no fear on his face, just staring at Tian Heng coldly. "Heng, the two armies are fighting, don't kill them!" You return to Fusu, Tian Heng swears not to surrender!" Tian Heng was almost gritting his teeth and talking to Jicun.
Ji Cun sighed, arched his hand to Tian Heng, turned away, and sighed to himself: "It's a pity." It's a pity, these tens of thousands of good boys!"
To the north of Hanqiu, the flag of the Emperor of the Qin State of 'Black Dragon Caifeng' was hung on the larger ferry, and on the deck of the forecabin, Fusu was sitting on the throne, quietly observing the situation on the ground of Hanqiu.
"Back to Your Majesty, Tian Heng refuses to surrender, the minister has done his best!" Accumulated in front of Fusu, a little ashamed.
Fusu was speechless and left the throne. came to the bow of the surging waves, looked at the surging river under his feet, and sighed: "Ji Aiqing." Get up, it's not your fault! Tian Heng is arrogant and conceited. No less than Xiang Liang, he is the lord who swears to the death!" Fusu's thoughts couldn't help but wander to that magnificent and sad event in the original history: according to legend, Liu Bang attacked Qi, Tian Heng fought unfavorably, and led the last 500 dead soldiers to retreat to a small island east of Jimo to resist stubbornly. Afterward. In the end, due to the general trend and irretrievable, Tian Heng died of grief and indignation, and his 500 dead soldiers all died with him, and none of them defected. In the end, a legend of loyalty and righteousness that has been recited through the ages has been achieved, and the small island where Tian Heng and the five hundred dead soldiers were stationed has also been revered as 'Tian Heng Island' by later generations! Thinking of this, Fusu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "How could such a group of unyielding warriors surrender, I am really a little wishful thinking!" Alas, it's a pity that Tian Heng is a big man, and it's a pity that there are 10,000 brave 'Hengshan', dead soldiers!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Accumulation stood up, and then asked, "Then, Your Majesty, do you want to start attacking the mountain now?" Fusu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the terrain here is low, and the water won't recede in three or two days!" Let's wait until the afternoon, when the Qi army is hungry and has no strength, the resistance will be lighter, and there will be more people who surrender, after all, when people are hungry, no matter how much ambition you have, it will come to naught, so you can save a lot of Qi troops!" Ji Cun nodded, with a look of admiration on his face: "Your Majesty is merciful!"
"Kindness!?" Fusu smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe! With so much blood on the team, future generations are lucky to have three lives without saying that I am a tyrant, and the mercy is estimated to be reluctant!" When he heard this, he didn't dare to answer, so he could only be silent.
Time slowly faded away, the sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon to the middle, and soon, some of the larger ferries of the Qin army wafted from the cooking smoke, and the fragrance of food began to waft on the water.
Poor Hanqiu Qi army from last night to now, brown rice has not entered, and the belly has been beating like a drum, and even more recently, due to lack of food, it has been a hungry and full day, and there is not much oil and water in the stomach, so once you smell the tempting aroma of rice, you swallow it wildly, and your stomach bulges violently! All the soldiers couldn't help but start to fantasize: Hey, how good it would be if the grain and grass were not washed up by the flood!
"It's time to eat......!" The tempting greetings of the Qin army floated on the water, and from time to time small boats delivered prepared meals to various bamboo and rafts. Looking at the satisfied raft munching on the soldiers of the Qin army, the Qi army couldn't help but salivate!
Soon, the Qin army was full of food and drink, and then sat leisurely on the bamboo and raft to confront the Qi army, anyway, the Qi army had no boat, and the Qin army was not afraid that the Qi army would dare to swim to attack: that was simply looking for death!
Gradually, Dayang walked and walked slowly, from the middle to the west, and then from the west to the sunset of the west mountain, the Qin soldiers were a little idle on the raft and dozed off, and the Qi soldiers did not enter the brown rice for a day and a night, most of the people were so hungry that they could only sit on the ground and hum, only the 'Hengshan soldiers' still gritted their teeth and insisted on their posts, and deployed defenses at the water's edge and on the top of the hill!
Fusu stood at the bow of the ship, facing the cold and damp water breeze, staring at everything on the ground of Hanqiu lightly, and suddenly ordered: "Order of the Chuan Lian: The crossbow group of the vanguard army scattered to the mountain for half an hour, killing and injuring a large number of Qi troops!" Whoa!" The herald commanded.
The war drums on the imperial boat were beating, the flags were wavering, and the order was issued, and in an instant, the soldiers of the Qin army, who were originally waiting for the big raft to try, jumped up and immediately approached Hanqiu, and stopped about one hundred and fifty miles away from Hanqiu, which was the limit of the range of the normal bow and crossbow of the Qi army.
"Boom, Boom......" Thousands of crossbow arrows whistled across the wide expanse of water. Attack on the top of Hanqiu. The range of the spring crossbow is as far as three hundred steps, and the Hanqiu is only more than a hundred meters high, so it can be said that except for the little place on the top of the mountain, the entire Wenqiu is within the range of the Qin crossbow.
It's a pity that at this time, the small Hanqiu was crowded with 30,000 remnants of the Qi army, and it was already crowded and crowded, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a huge arrow target. Seeing the huge arrow curtain flying, the Qi army had nowhere to escape, so they could only push each other in horror and flee for their lives, how could they have a little bit of courage just now like they were full of pride and swore to die. Suddenly. When the arrow curtain hit, there were almost no missing arrows, and thousands of blood flowers bloomed straight away, and the Han Mountain was immediately full of Qi soldiers screaming in pain!
For a time, in addition to being shot and killed by a large number of Qi troops, they also pushed and trampled on each other, with countless casualties, and even the 'Hengshan soldiers' who could barely fight back twice were quickly disrupted by the chaotic Qi army, and were completely in a situation of being passively beaten. In such a chaotic situation, military discipline is a piece of waste paper. The 'Yokoyama Warriors' are self-conscious, and they are helpless against this chaotic situation!
At this time, it doesn't matter whether you can survive or not. The important thing is that you are lucky enough not to be killed by the dense, continuous rain of arrows. will also be squeezed to death and trampled to death by the rebels!
Seeing a large number ......of soldiers struggling desperately in the rain of arrows, the Qin army did not have any mercy, and the second wave of arrows was still coming, and suddenly set off a wave of bloody rain on Hanqiu. From time to time, Qi troops fell and rolled down from the mountainside, and I don't know if they were shot or pushed down by their companions!
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth waves...... The crossbowmen of the Qin army shot a pot of twenty arrows in one go, in the blink of an eye. For a time, on top of the small Hanqiu. In an instant, it was covered by a rain of no less than 100,000 arrows, and the originally crowded Hanqiu was already a hell on earth: from the bottom of the hill to the mountainside, there were dead bodies and wailing wounded soldiers everywhere, and the blood that flowed down almost merged into a stream, dyeing the rivers and mountains around Hanqiu red.
"Knock knock knock......" Another round of war drums beats, and the crossbowmen of the Qin army, who have received the supply of arrows from the logistics troops, rested for a while, and then opened their crossbows again: "Boom......, boom, boom" Heaven and earth were once again filled with the screams that made people feel numb and heartbreaking.
The little Ground Wave Hill was once again covered by a curtain of arrows, and everywhere there were soldiers rushing to the ground, and everywhere there were screams after being hit by arrows, and the little Hanqiu lost its verdant green and was covered in a layer of dazzling blood red!
Finally, the Qin crossbowmen shot the second pot of arrows, and while they were satisfied, their arms were so swollen that they could barely move. Although the Qin crossbow is sharp, it has extremely strict requirements for the arm strength of the crossbowmen, and even the strong Qin crossbowmen will feel very difficult if they fire forty crossbows in a single row! By this time, Dihanqiu had become a bloody hell: dead bodies everywhere, blood was shed everywhere, and half an hour ago it was a lively scene of surging people, but now there was not much life. Looking around, apart from corpses and corpses, there were not many Qi soldiers who could still stand. Indeed, after the terrifying and accurate attack of 200,000 Qin crossbows, the soldiers who survived on the crowded Hanqiu could not be regarded as a miracle, but also considered very lucky!
"Alas! Violence for violence, the helplessness of the world!" Fusu sighed and said: "The order of the Chuanlian, with bamboo and rafts as the vanguard, and the ferry fleet will then launch a full-scale attack on Hanqiu!" Don't let go of a single soldier, remember, those who surrender will not die!" Whoa!"
Suddenly, the drums of the rapid march on the imperial boat beat like thunder, and thousands of Qin ships and rafts on the endless water began to rapidly approach Hanqiu: a hundred paces, fifty paces...... Until the dense ships and rafts approached Hanqiu, there were not a few counterattacking arrows from Bochu. Because most of the 'Hengshan warriors' who were deployed at the bottom of the hill and on the mountainside had already died in the dense arrow curtain of the Qin army, and occasionally a few fish that slipped through the net were quickly killed by the crossbowmen of the Qin army who were waiting for the ferry fleet!
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Qin army foot soldiers surged on the wet and bloody ground at the foot of Hanqiu, and the Qin army crossbowmen who were about to lose their strength in the first round stayed by the river, and the rest of the Qin army foot soldiers immediately attacked towards the top of the mountain under the destruction of war drums.
The Qin army's offensive seemed to be devastating and overwhelming, from the bottom of the Hanqiu to the mountainside, few Qi soldiers could stand up and resist, and the few fish that slipped through the net were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows and the Qin army in an instant. And a large number of wounded soldiers of the Diqi army who only breathed a breath, the Qin army lacked even the interest in taking a look, but as long as there was a slight resistance, it would be a chaotic sword. Chop into puree. For the fierce Qin army, the word 'mercy' never seemed to appear in their minds, if it weren't for Fusu's order not to kill the surrendered soldiers and wounded soldiers, the Qin army would have killed all the way to the past, and the chickens and dogs would have been left!
Soon, tens of thousands of Qin troops crushed all resistance and quickly approached the top of the mountain, where there were still thousands of 'Hengshan warriors' who survived the arrow curtain of suitable talents.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the Qin army became heavy, and their breathing slowly became short, and they began to slowly advance towards the top of the mountain in a small battle formation as much as possible, the reason why they were so careful. Because the Qin army saw that the remnants of the 'Hengshan Soldiers' on the top of the mountain were forming a strict formation, murderously waiting for the arrival of the Qin army, and there were a large number of corpses of ordinary soldiers of the Qi Army lying in front of them.
"Kill ——, and capture Tian Heng alive!" I don't know which Qin army shouted, and the Qin soldiers who climbed to the top from all sides stabbed like a horse scurrying bees, screaming and screaming: There are not many battles to fight, and Tian Heng, the successor of the Qi State, is a great military achievement, so the Qin soldiers who have always been fighting for military merits and not assisting them to die pounced on them like a group of red-eyed hungry wolves, and the target was directly at Tian Heng in the array!
The sound of "clanging ......" weapons filled the mountaintop, and the stumps of human bodies and limbs flew in all directions, and blood flowed like a river without money. Everywhere there were angry yells and miserable wails.
The Qin army in black armor and the 'Hengshan Dead Soldiers' in white armor were killed in a mess, and under the golden glow of the setting sun, the black and white on the Hanqiu were distinct. The killing is fierce: one moment the black advances, the white retreats, the other moment the white advances, and the black retreats. Tens of thousands of Qin and Qi warriors fought bloody battles on the top of the small Boqiu, desperately fighting for control of the mountain!
Fusu looked at the battle situation from a distance, and said with some surprise: "This 'Hengshan Shi' seems to be really tenacious, and even such a small group of people can fight with my tens of thousands of Qin troops so far, and the combat power is not much worse than the 'wolf teeth' and 'broken army'." What a team!"
The staff in the army said: "No matter how strong they are, they can't last long, these 'Hengshan soldiers' have been hungry for a day and a night, and their combat strength has been greatly damaged, and now they are completely supporting themselves with one breath." Your Majesty don't worry, it will be over soon!" Fusu nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart: "How difficult it is to form such a strong force, why would you rather take them all into the coffin than let them surrender?" It's brain-breaking!"
At this time, the battle situation on the top of Wenqiu gradually changed: the Qin army was numerous, one after the other, the offensive was continuous, and the 'Hengshan Shi' was sharp, but after all, there were few people and they were hungry for a day and a night, and they gradually couldn't resist it after fighting in one breath, and they were slowly and firmly compressed by the Qin army like a sponge to the center, and little by little they were eating away at the defense circle of the 'Hengshan Shi'.
Gradually, the 'Hengshan Shi' was killed and wounded, and only more than 100 people were guarding Tian Heng's side. Suddenly, a Qin army shouted: "Will the Qi people surrender?" The Qin army was stunned for a moment, and the pace of the assault immediately stopped, maintaining a distance of more than ten steps, and surrounded the remaining Qi army.
The Qin army had a valuable tradition: on the battlefield, when faced with a respectable opponent, they would spontaneously summon and surrender, and when the enemy considered the call to surrender, the Qin soldiers would generally suspend the attack. Of course, this usually happens at the beginning of the war, or when the general situation is decided, and when the killing is rising, no one will be idiotic enough to summon the enemy to surrender! This can't but be said to be a place where the fierce Qin army is a little more middle-class!
The Qin army surrounded the 'Hengshan Shi' and Tian Heng, holding their breath, waiting for their reply, their eyes revealing a sincere invitation and desire: heroes respect warriors, for this fierce force, the Qin army still admires it very much!
Tian Heng also knew the tradition of the Qin army, so he was silent for a while, and looked at the only hundred or so dead soldiers around him: these warriors who put their lives on the line all looked at Tian Heng silently, their eyes revealing perseverance and trust, but there was no fear. Tian Heng believed that as long as he gave an order, these dead soldiers who had followed him for many years would not hesitate to die with him!
Tian Heng's eyes moistened a little: What more could you ask for with such a subordinate husband!? Astringent voice: "Good brother, I, Tian Heng, thank you!" As a member of the Qi royal family, I should have the dignity of the royal family, that is, I will not surrender to the death! As for you. I don't ask you to die with me, you have already fought and done your best, you surrender, Fusu should not embarrass you!"
Hearing this, all the 'Hengshan scholars' looked at each other and shook their heads together, and an officer said in a deep voice: "My lord, since we have served you as the lord in this life, we will not accept the second lord." May I accompany my lord and die together, in the name of all loyalty!" May I die with my lord!" More than 100 'Hengshan scholars' shouted without hesitation!
"Good brother!" Tian Heng's eyes were full of tears, and he waved the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Let's tell Qin Jun our answer: Bloody battle to the end, swear to the death!" Fight to the end, swear not to surrender!" More than 100 people shouted together, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough to shock the earth and make 10,000 people change color!
"Good man, fulfill them!" A Qin army lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Kill ——!" Kill ——!" Seeing that the summons were ineffective, the Qin army roared. It surged up like a flood again, and the scuffle suddenly resumed.
In such a melee, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it is difficult to exert them. A large number of people and good cooperation are the advantages, so. Almost every moment, one or two 'Hengshan Shi' died in the chaos, and in less than a moment, the remaining hundred or so 'Hengshan Shi' were all killed, leaving only Tian Heng, who had turned red in white robes, and the leader of the 'Hengshan Shi' - Qi Ren Zhao Poyu!
The guns and halberds are like forests, and the sword light is cold. The Qin army slowly approached, and the encirclement became tighter and tighter. Tian Heng looked at the long sword in his hand, it was already blood-stained, but it was still so dazzling and murderous. "Hahaha......" Tian Heng burst out laughing. The Qin soldiers were stunned by the laughter, and they didn't dare to approach for a while.
"Zhan Lu, Zhan Lu, you are such a divine sword, I can't let you cross the battlefield and become famous all over the world, but let you accompany me to bury here, ashamed!" Tian Heng stroked the sword with emotion, his eyes were quite sad, and then he said to Zhao Poyu: "Poyu, you have been with me for many years, and today your fate is over, take care of yourself!" Saying that, without waiting for Zhao Poyu to answer, Tian Heng shouted: "Fusu, you won!" The horizontal sword crossed his neck and pulled hard: "Huh-" A cavity of blood spurted out and splashed on the damp mountain rock.
Suddenly, Tian Heng's eyes full of life quickly became dim, "Plop!!" The majestic body slowly slumped and fell to the ground.
"Good man!" Tian Heng's calmness and determination to die made the soldiers of the Qin army can't help but praise in their hearts!
"The Lord ——!" Zhao Poyu wailed, and knelt down in front of Tian Heng with a "plop". Looking at Tian Heng's calm face, Zhao Poyu laughed and cried, and suddenly shouted: "The lord walks slowly, Poyu will always be with you!" As he spoke, the long sword was held upside down, a sword pierced into the heart, and the blood splattered slowly fell to Tian Heng's side!
The Qin army, who was dumb and silent for a while on the top of the mountain, and their hearts were greatly shocked, did not expect that Qilu, who had always been weak, would have such a warrior who swore to the death, and they couldn't help but be in awe!
The night was hazy, and in the light of the blazing fire, Fusu's imperial boat approached Hanqiu.
"Your Majesty, there are many dead bodies on Hanqiu, and there is a river of blood, you are a golden body, it is best not to go up, just leave the aftermath to the staff and generals!" Yang Fan saw that Fusu wanted to climb Hanqiu, and cautiously persuaded him.
Fusu shook his head and said angrily: "Nearly 10,000 'Hengshan warriors', except for those who are seriously injured and fainted, none of them have surrendered, although such a warrior is a loser, but he should also gain enough respect from the victor, if you want to go and see them, you don't have to say more!" Whoa!" Yang Fan is also helpless.
Walking through the narrow board, Fusu ascended to Hanqiu, and when he stepped on the ground for the first time, his expression was solemn: the mud under his feet was already blood-colored, and the soles of his feet made a numbing 'flutter' sound when he stepped on it; From the bottom of the hill to the mountainside, there were tens of thousands of dead corpses in the pillow place, and the terrifying countenance revealed the longing for life and the fear of death......
Fusu climbed to the top of the hill with a solemn expression, and as far as the eye could see: the few corpses of the Qin army on the bottom of the hill and the mountainside suddenly increased here, and even almost surpassed the corpses of the 'Hengshan Shi', which shows how tragic the battle was at that time!
Looking at Tian Heng's calm and resolute face, Fusu sighed: "In this dead place, if you don't advance quickly, you should retreat quickly, how can you stay here!?" Tian Heng, you are losing in your own hands!" Saying that, Fusu ordered: "Come on, pass on the order: bury Tian Heng with the courtesy of the marquis, and seriously treat the wounded soldiers of the Qi army, especially the wounded soldiers of the 'Hengshan soldiers'." By the way, if those wounded soldiers of the 'Hengshan Warriors' are unwilling to surrender, don't be embarrassed for them, and let them go after they are healed! Also, the name of Hanqiu was changed to 'Yiqiu' to commemorate this battle!" Whoa!" The local clerk around Fusu immediately began to record!
"Sigh the picturesque rivers and mountains, how many heroes at one time! It's a pity that there can only be one person who has the last laugh! What a brutal truth!" Fusu climbed to the top of the cliff, looked at the water, and was silent!
