In August 391 AD, the Hexi army sent a surprise army to attack the city of Fushi by taking advantage of the Xiyan Road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

First, they took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders and burned the materials hoarded in the city by the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, he marched forward and wiped out all the 10,000 reinforcements who went north.

This series of drastic changes directly affected the results of the offensive and defensive battles of Dailai City.

In mid-September, when the news of the occupation of Fushi and the destruction of reinforcements came, the precarious situation began to take a turn for the better.

Coming to the city, the Later Qin army pressed on it.

Nearly 100 trebuchets smashed the city walls and gates with huge stones in turn, and if the city had not been reinforced with concrete, I am afraid that it would have collapsed at this time.

In the past two days, Yao Xing seems to be a gambler who has lost all his blood.

All kinds of unfavorable news, such as the burning of logistics materials, the destruction of reinforcements, and the imminent arrival of reinforcements from Hexi, came one after another, almost driving him crazy.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, he made a crazy decision to devote all his forces to launch an unprecedented onslaught on the city of Dailai.

It is a pity that in the face of the high-morale defenders, this offensive is of little use except for the loss of troops, and the city of Dailai is still standing majestically, and with the passage of time, the momentum of the Later Qin soldiers is getting lower and lower, and it is more and more difficult to capture the city.

At this critical moment, hundreds of Hexi troops on the head of the city suddenly held crossbows in their hands and fired thousands of arrows at the Hou Qin army that was climbing.

For a time, a dense rain of arrows rained down on the enemy, and hundreds of soldiers had nowhere to hide, so they were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling down from the ladder.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers were killed by crossbow arrows or fell to the ground, and none of them were spared.

Seeing this scene, Yao Xing was furious and shouted: "Order the army to press on all fronts, whoever is the first to attack the city will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and the marquis of the Guannei will be sealed." ”

"Wait!" Uncle Yao Xu hurriedly stopped the herald, he felt that Yao Xing had lost his mind and was no longer fit to command the army.

"Your Highness, you should give up Dailai City at the moment, and withdraw your troops before the reinforcements from Hexi have arrived, so as to preserve your strength."

"Judging by the current situation, it is of little significance for our army to continue to attack, but it will drag our army back because of this."

"Once the reinforcements from Hexi arrive, our army will be trapped in the situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and it will be difficult to get out at that time."

"Withdrawal?"

Yao Xing turned his head suddenly, stared at Yao Xu tightly, and said excitedly: "The first time he led the troops, not only failed to break the city and make meritorious contributions, but lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Now that you have asked Gu to withdraw the army, how should I explain to my father when I go back? ”

"It's better to be killed here without an explanation than to be killed here by the whole army, right? Prince, you really can't fight anymore, hurry up and retreat south! ”

"Save your strength and wait for revenge on the Hexi Army in the future."

In the face of Yao Xu's bitter pleading, the crown prince Yao Xing was unmoved and insisted on continuing to attack Dailai City.

At this moment, Wang Maide, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, General, your subordinates have a plan that may break the Hexi Army."

"You? You joined the army as a child, what can you do? ”

Yao Xing frowned and glanced at Wang Maide unhappily, he was so busy deploying the siege that he didn't want to listen to the other party's 'nonsense'.

"Don't worry, prince, let the king join the army and finish speaking."

In the face of his uncle Yao Xu's insistence, Yao Xing didn't want to give face, so he had to sit down and see what tricks this Wang Da had when he joined the army.

Wang Maide didn't mind being despised by Yao Xing, he got up without hurry, first bowed his hand to Yao Xu, and then stood in the center of the big tent and talked.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for our army, and the slightest carelessness will wipe out the entire army, and this is a critical autumn for survival."

"However, there is a cloud in the art of war: put it in the place of death and then live, and fall into the place of death and then survive."

"If the whole army goes south to meet the enemy, all the soldiers will desperately attack the south in order to survive and survive."

"If the Hexi reinforcements are caught off guard, they will definitely be crushed and defeated by our army, which can save our army from the disaster of annihilation."

Wang Maide's plan was instantly supported by Yao Xu and the rest of the generals, and in the end, under the persuasion of everyone, Yao Xing had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.

When everyone was busy packing up their salutes, they saw Wang Maide quietly coming to Yao Xu's camp.

"Oh, this time thanks to joining the army, otherwise the old man really doesn't know how to persuade the prince to withdraw the army."

"Generals don't have to be like this, it's their subordinate duty."

"Hahaha, please rest assured when you join the army, when you return to Chang'an in the future, I will personally recommend you to the emperor."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have another word to say below."

"Please join the army and speak out, and listen to you."

"Actually, there is no need to say it, the general must also understand that the words just now were just said to the prince alone."

"Survival in death is okay for ordinary generals, but I'm afraid it won't work to deal with the world-famous Dadu Protector."

"Well, that's reasonable, I don't know what else to do if you join the army?"

"What else can be done now? We can only sacrifice the interests of Qianghu and save us. ”

"Sacrifice Qianghu?" Hearing this, Yao Xu was thoughtful.

"Yes, when you encounter the enemy next, please ask the general to let the Qianghu cavalry under the command, and then entangle the Hexi Iron Cavalry, so that the army can take the opportunity to escape."

"Huh? This...... This, how can this be? Why don't you change someone to command Qianghu? ”

"No, you have to go to the next kiss, I'm afraid the others won't be able to control the Qianghu people."

"Without the interception of the Qianghu cavalry, how could the army escape the pursuit of the Hexi Iron Cavalry? In case the crown prince is unlucky...... What are the faces of you and me to go back to see Your Majesty? ”

"Alas, that's all, it's just that you've worked hard to join the army."

Yao Xu felt like he was unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the people kindly offered a plan, but in the end, he still let Wang buy the virtue and break it.

"The general doesn't have to feel guilty, he was in charge of contacting Qianghu, and no one is more suitable than me."

"Now the situation is forced to do so, Wanwang is cautious to join the army, once the army is out of danger, you should quickly find an opportunity to get out."

"I understand below."

Turning around to leave Yao Xu's big tent, Wang Maide's face swelled with complicated emotions, and he muttered to himself, not knowing what he was saying.

In the afternoon, outside the city, the Houqin army suddenly burst into flames and neighed horses, and began to retreat south in an orderly manner, and soon drifted south like a black cloud with no edge in sight.

When the defenders in the city saw this scene, they cheered one after another, and countless soldiers hugged each other and wept.

The enemy finally retreated, and the nightmare bloody battle for most of the month was finally over.

……

"Everyone lay down their arms and surrender, rest assured, the Hexi Army has strict discipline and will not slaughter prisoners at will."

When Yao Xing successfully escaped, Wang Maide immediately ordered Qianghu to stop resisting.

The Qianghu people, who were still desperately intercepting, were shocked after receiving the order to surrender, and they couldn't understand what the army was doing.

Just now, he looked like he was loyal to Hou Qin, but as soon as Yao Xing and the others left, they immediately ordered to surrender.

Not to mention that the Hou Qin people couldn't figure it out, even his opponents were also the second monk who couldn't figure it out.

This encounter was fought in a mess, and from the beginning to the end, the Hexi people were led by the nose by the other party, and watched Yao Xing leave with the remnants.

And when they wanted to vent their frustration on Qiang Hu, they saw that Qiang Hu, who was still fighting desperately just now, took the initiative to surrender.

"Kang Long, you go and find the enemy commander, Shuo wants to ask him what he wants to do."

"No."

After Kang Long got the order, he turned around and left, and after a while, he walked over with Wang Maide.

But seeing that Wang Maide did not have the embarrassment and anxiety that he should have as a prisoner, he observed the people in Hexi with interest.

"What's your name?"

"In the lower king of Maide, meet the protection of the capital."

"What? Your name is Wang Maide? ”

Wei Shuo's face was full of shock, and he circled around Wang Maide several times.

He really couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the famous strategist who assisted Helian Bobo in establishing Huxia in history.

In history, Wang Maide is a very strange person, he was out of the Qin Dynasty earlier, but for some reason his performance was not outstanding.

It wasn't until he was unfortunately captured by Helian Bobo that he had the opportunity to display his talents.

With the assistance of Wang Maide, Helian Bobo changed his style of wandering in the past, devoted himself to domestic construction, and finally annexed the vast territory of Guanzhong.

At that time, Helian, the king of Xia, was greedy for rich Guanzhong, and heard that Liu Yu was going to return to Jiangnan, so he asked Wang Maide for advice.

"The geographical location of Guanzhong is very important, but Liu Yu asked his young son to guard it, and he returned in embarrassment."

"Right now, Liu Yu wants to finish the usurpation of the throne quickly, and he doesn't have time to take care of the territory of Guanzhong anymore."

"This is a reward from heaven to the king, and this opportunity cannot be missed."

"Qingni and Shangluo are dangerous towns in the north and south, and the king should first send guerrilla troops to cut off the supply and retreat of the defenders in Guanzhong, and then block Tongguan in the east and cut off its water and land passage with the south."

"Finally, we will issue a document to the Sanfu area, and we will give both grace and power."

"In this way, Liu Yizhen is equivalent to falling into the net basket, and he can be captured alive without effort."

Later, things were exactly the same as Wang Maide predicted, the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated, and Fu Hongzhi, Kuai En and others were captured by Wang Maide.
