Chen Heng, the Sima of Qi State, wore a whole armor, stood at the head of the city under Lixia, stood facing north, and looked at the gurgling Jishui flowing eastward, silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He is over thirty years old, his appearance is extraordinary, when he wears a deep coat and wide sleeves, Chen Heng is a lobbyist with a sword, and when he wears jet-black armor, he is a brave general. The cold light of the hat and the saber was piercing, but beneath the sturdy exterior was the restless heart.

In fact, since the State of Wu was attacked by the State of Yue the year before last and returned from the defeat of the State of Song, Chen Heng has not had even a day of peace of mind.

For a time, the State of Zhao had already cleared the Central Plains and expelled the strong enemy, leaving only the State of Qi to resist alone.

Qi was defeated in the Battle of Wenshui more than ten years ago, and nearly half of its soldiers were either killed or captured, although those were Chen's enemies, it was impossible for Qi to recover in the short term. Therefore, the Chen clan has always taken the initiative to unite with other states to oppose the Zhao clan and the Zhao state, but on his own side, he built the Great Wall for passive defense.

However, this strategy can now be declared a failure.

First of all, the internal disputes of the Qi State, last year the Bao family was eliminated by the Chen family, and Bao Xi fled to the Zhao State, which caused a series of shocks, which led to the fall of Yiyi and Ju State, with the fall of the Gaotang Dynasty, Jibei had no danger to defend, Chen Heng could only retreat the defense line to Jishui, because he only had 30,000 soldiers in his hands, plus 30,000 Ding Zhuang people recruited from both sides of Jishui.

Chen Heng also tried to use the influence of the Chen clan in the people of Jibei to train the recruited people into soldiers, but the time was too short, and the scattered hearts of the people could not be gathered at once, and the long defense line could not stop Ding Zhuang who wanted to escape. These folk men are okay to guard the riverbank with wooden sticks, but if they want to fight with the elite of Zhao State, they are just sending war exploits to the other party.

The house leak was rained overnight, and there was a problem in the rear, and there was only one wall of the Great Wall of Qi like a fence full of loopholes, and the Lu army had already attacked and began to attack the city in the area of Mount Tai, disrupting the flank of the Qi army.

In this case, Chen Heng had to divide another 5,000 troops to cooperate with the guards of the Great Wall to plug the gap, so that there were many fewer Qi people in the next area to defend against Zhao Wuxian's main force, and Chen Heng had to fight a hundred times more and make full use of the small manpower to defend it to the death.

Because of the First Battle of Jinan, it is related to the gains and losses of Qi and the survival of the Chen family!

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of rumbling war drums!

It turned out to be the Zhao army camp in Jibei, with the Xuanniao flag raised by the Zhao Wuxian Central Army and gradually sounded, thousands of drums lined up on the north bank of Jibei, the sound of war drums from slow to urgent, from weak to strong, gradually became crazy, between the drummer's arms rising and falling in turn, the sound of war drums became stronger and stronger.

At the same time, I don't know how many Zhao soldiers burst out with a strong and powerful roar with the wave of the command flag, and the neat drum beat, earth-shattering!

Hearing the sound of war drums on the opposite bank, the Qi people stationed in Jinan couldn't help but be shocked, Chen Heng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to reorganize the army in case the enemy attacked, and the defenders of Pingyin, An'an and other places on the front line of Jishui were no exception.

However, Zhao Jun only knocked for a while, and then died down again......

Chen Heng couldn't help but say hatefully: "Zhao Wuxian, this is deliberately disturbing our army, in a vain attempt to make people uneasy, so that the soldiers can't rest well......"

Since half a month ago, Zhao Jun will beat a drum almost every day, but the time is uncertain, every time it can make Jinan's Qi army chickens and flying dogs jump for a while, although Chen Heng knew that this was Zhao Wuxian's intention, but he didn't dare to hold it up, and he had to deploy defense every time, who knows if Zhao Jun will forcibly cross the river in the next drum? He could now feel how passive the attack initiative was in the hands of the enemy.

On the night of June 25, Zhao Jun had already beaten a drum, and in the second half of the night, Jibei was also quiet. After nearly twenty days of confrontation, Chen Heng, who had not slept for several days, finally couldn't hold on, and he told several cousins and lieutenant generals that if they crossed the river, they would do so, so he wrapped himself in a marching blanket at the head of the city to rest, and soon fell into a deep sleep. However, in the gap when the Qi people were most tired and careless, the north bank of Jishui was not as quiet as it seemed......

……

At the camp of the Zhao army on the north bank of Jishui, Zhao Wuxian stood outside the tent door in full armor, and the 3,000 dead soldiers commanded by Tian Ben were unarmed, wearing only calf nose pants and carrying a two-foot sword, fearless of strong winds and waves, and held their heads high to accept Zhao Hou's review and orders.

For today's battle, Zhao Wuxian can be said to have been preparing for a long time, at the beginning, Zhao Jun did not know the depth of the water, did not dare to act rashly, Zhao Wuxian knew that the cunning Chen Heng was waiting for the moment when Zhao Jun couldn't help but attack across the water, if the Qi army could attack halfway, no matter how brave and powerful the Zhao army was, it was very likely to be defeated and retreat. Therefore, he first let the Lu side attack the Great Wall and mobilize Chen Heng's defense line, but at the same time, he was constantly weakening the morale of the Qi people and disrupting their rest.

After more than 20 days of confrontation, the depth of Jishui Zhao Army is almost touched, and there is such a rule: wherever the Qi army is heavily defended, it is a place where the river is shallow; Wherever the Qi army has few defensive troops, it is a place where the river is deep. So Zhao Wuxian decided to do the opposite, and sent elite soldiers to cross the river at night from the place where the Qi army had not set up troops to defend the river, and launched a surprise attack on Jinan.

In this way, although the water is a little deeper, as long as the first batch of men and horses cross over and occupy a bridgehead, the follow-up troops will continue to follow.

The generals enthusiastically responded to the battle, and finally Zhao Wuxian named Tian Ben, although Lao Tian often did some impulsive things, but he charged into battle, cut the generals and captured the flag, and no one could be his right!

At this moment, looking at the Lixia City on the other side, it is pitch black, and there are no lights, presumably the people of Qi are extremely tired after beating drums and disturbing the Zhao army for many days, and this deep-water area, the shore on the opposite side of the water is also empty, and there is no one to see, it is a godsend!

Zhao Wuxian asked people to pour wine for the three thousand dead soldiers, although it was the height of summer, but in the middle of the night into the water, it was still a little cold, this strong wine can not only warm up, but also strengthen the courage, so that this group of dead soldiers one by one turned into murderous beasts.

Tian Ben took 3,000 people to the dark and quietly swam into the river. It is also unfortunate that at this time, the southeast wind is in full swing, and the hunting sound of the battle flag is blowing, which also sets off rolling waves on the water, although the waves are not big, but one after another is quite spectacular, so the dead soldiers are not difficult to advance.

At first, more than ten people had already climbed to the river bank, and Tian Ben himself was halfway through swimming, but suddenly heard a violent drum sound coming from the bank, and the sound of shouting and killing came with the night wind.

Zhao Jun, who was waiting on the north bank, was shocked for a while, but saw hundreds of figures on the other side of the river, which was originally empty, appearing out of nowhere, and they all shouted vigorously: "On the order of Sima, attack the enemy here!" ”

On both sides of the riverbank, countless torches were also lit, rushing towards this side like a long dragon, and it seemed that hundreds of people were rushing to help!

Suddenly encountering an accident, Zhao Wuxian was also slightly surprised, if he was cautious at this time, he should have withdrawn the advance force, but looking at the posture on the other side, Zhao Wuxian also guessed a few points.

This month-long confrontation was a test of the patience of the commanders of both sides, and it was also a psychological game, it stands to reason that it is easier to cross the river from shallow water, so there are more guards, and Zhao Wuxian deliberately chose to cross the river in deep water in order to do the opposite. However, how cunning his old opponent Chen Heng was, he must have deliberately arranged fewer guards in the deep water, but in fact he left soldiers in ambush, once someone crossed the river somewhere, he would definitely light a torch and ask for support.

The road by the water is muddy and difficult to walk, the support is not fast, and the nearest fire dragon will take half a moment to arrive, and Tian Ben and hundreds of dead soldiers have already fought with the Qi soldiers who want to come to the shore to drive Zhao Pawn off the shore, fighting all the way forward, although the dead soldiers are not wearing an inch of armor, but they are brave and difficult, and they can almost kill and defeat this group of Qi people!

This is also Zhao Jun's chance!

Chen Heng is prepared, why is Zhao Wuxian unprepared? Even if the Zhao army failed to cross the river, if he could attract the main force of the Qi army on the other side to here, wouldn't the two detachments he had prepared ten miles away from the north and south have a chance to cross the water? And he also believes that if they meet on a narrow road, whether it is morale, numbers, equipment, and training, Zhao Jun will have a slight advantage.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian resolutely let people beat the war drum and blow the horn of attack, he faced the hunting wind, danced the command flag in his hand vigorously, and gave the order to force the soldiers of the three armies who were gearing up and laying out for miles on the bank of Jishui: "Cross the river!" Break the Qi country and destroy the Chen family, in one fell swoop! (To be continued.) )
