Chapter 055: Bing Chen Kunshan
Rushing from Yiyang to Hangu Pass, it takes two days to travel under the stars and nights, and Wang Yu's department is not a cavalry, if it is a cavalry unit, it can be half a day.
Le Yi's judgment was not wrong, and Wang Yi did think that Wei Yi might send cavalry to pursue them, but his 20,000 horses were foot soldiers defending the city, and they ran for most of the day without stopping, and the soldiers were already exhausted.
"General, take a rest, the soldiers are hungry and tired, and they really can't run." The deputy general trotted over to Wang Di and said breathlessly.
"No! If I don't go into the fortress, I can't sleep and eat, the enemy has cavalry, if it is true, I am afraid that there are already three Jin iron cavalry behind us in a crazy pursuit of us, once we are caught up, none of us can run. Wang Yi shook his head, and immediately continued: "Order the soldiers to move forward quickly, and there will be food when they reach the rope pond." ”
As soon as Qin Jun heard this, he immediately had food to eat, and he immediately became full of strength and continued to move forward.
Wang Yu's troops continued their rapid march for three hours, and now they were only ten miles away from the rope pond, which could be said to be close at hand.
At this moment, Wang Di's face suddenly changed in shock, and he subconsciously looked behind him, and after a while, he immediately got off his horse and lay on the ground, his ears close to the ground. Listening to the heavy buzzing sound from the earth, Wang Di suddenly changed color, and in an instant he understood, and he beat his chest: "Our army has no food predicament, the enemy must also know about it, our army's whereabouts are exposed, we should not go straight to the rope pool, we should do the opposite, I am confused, I am confused, so that the three armies are affected!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Qin army were still stunned by Wang Di's sudden move, and at the detour of a small hill behind them, they saw an army of iron cavalry with a solemn atmosphere emerging from the foot of the mountain, and then they poured out like a long dragon, and the eye-catching battle flag of "Le" fell into the eyes of the Qin people, and the 30,000 iron cavalry led by Le Yi chased after him.
"Cavalry, it's the cavalry of the Three Jin Dynasty!"
An exclamation immediately spread wildly among the Qin army, and the 20,000 Qin army panicked, subconsciously clenched the instrument in his hand, and the spear suddenly turned upside down and pointed behind him.
On the field, Le Yi rushed with 30,000 iron horsemen, and stopped a stone's throw away from the Qin army, and the 30,000 iron horsemen stood side by side and looked at each other.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yi knew that he was in danger.
Le Yi in front of the Chinese army took a few steps with the reins and rode his horse, his eyes swept in front of the Qin army's battle array, and immediately locked on to Wang Yi, and when he saw the old man again, he bowed his hand: "General Wang, you and I are meeting again, don't come unharmed." ”
Wang Yi naturally recognized Le Yi, and couldn't help but recall the past, when King Wu of Qin was crowned, and Yingji, who was hostage in Yan Kingdom, was the new king, and King Zhao sent Le Yi to escort Yingji's mother and son back to the country to become kings, and Wang Yi also went parallel with him to say goodbye to Hangu Pass.
At this time, looking at Le Yi standing on a horse from afar, Wang Yi sighed with emotion: "After many years of farewell, I don't want you and me to see each other again, but this is the scene, sad husband, why don't I ......"
Le Yi did say quietly: "Although you and I have old friends, but each is its master, and there will be no mercy under it, and now the situation is better than anyone else, the Qin army is indeed brave, but now it is also a tired soldier, behind me is the world's first-class elite iron cavalry, it is this army and Yangshan to destroy 100,000 Qin troops, now the general has fallen into a desperate situation, there is no possibility of turning over, if you surrender, so as not to suffer the pain of slaughter." ”
If Wang Yi surrenders, this is what Le Yi is most willing to see, and surrendering without a fight is the best strategy of the soldiers. When Wang Di heard this, he suddenly laughed and drank: "Will the Qin people descend? ”
"Die or die!"
"Die or die!"
"Die or die!"
The 20,000 Qin soldiers roared in unison, facing the 30,000 cavalry.
Seeing this scene, Le Yi sighed helplessly, "The Qin people are really bloody, worthy of being Qin Zhirui, I am deeply admired, if you surrender, it will make Le Yi look down on you." ”
Wang Yi laughed loudly and said loudly: "Since I am a soldier, it is the fate of my generation to die in battle, what a way!" ”
Le Yi didn't say more, his big hand was raised high and fell suddenly, and the 30,000 iron cavalry standing side by side saw the general's gesture and raised their bows and arrows, and the 30,000 iron cavalry immediately divided into two to form a left and right flanking attack on Wang Yu's department, and launched round after round of cavalry shooting against the encircled Qin army in the flank attack.
There was no suspense in the result, the last desperate resistance of these Qin troops guarding Yiyang was also less than an hour later, and the Qin general Wang Yi intended to draw his sword and die for the country, and at the last moment, Le Yi personally raised his bow and shot an arrow, the arrow penetrated his sword-holding arm impartially, and the long sword in his hand slipped down instantly, and Wang Yi could not be captured alive at the end of his own execution.
This is a one-sided situation, even if it is the Qin army, as soon as the battle is over, they will quickly clean up the battlefield, Le Yi led the troops to occupy the rope pond and waited for the main army to come.
……
Three days later, Wei Yu commanded the 300,000 Sanjin coalition army and finally Chen Jing at the foot of Hangu Pass, waiting for this day for nearly two years.
In the early morning of this day, the sky was unusually magnificent, a round of red sun shone the sky like golden waves, the scenery of the wilderness suddenly turned into a hazy red silhouette, and the reckless earth rolled with golden-red long waves.
The coalition forces finally approached the foot of Hangu Pass.
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
The 300,000 iron army roared like a storm crashing on the shore.
Vultures hovering and hissing in the sky, and outside Hangu Pass is a magnificent camp formed by endless military tents, chariots, banners, and spears, and the melodious and heavy horns are accompanied by the sound of Xiao Xiao and horses.
In the tent of the coalition commander, Wei Yi and his generals gathered together, and now the army has pressed the Hangu Pass, and the decisive battle with Qin is urgent.
"How does the Admiral want to break through?" Lian Po asked curiously.
"Drag" Wei Yi stared at the topographic map of Guansai, and responded with just one word.
Drag? Everyone looked at each other, Wei Yi nodded, and muttered: "Huayang Jun has 200,000 troops guarding the pass, how can the danger of the fortress be easily broken?" Only by forcing the Qin army to take the initiative to go out of the pass to seek battle, so that the two armies will fight in a decisive battle, can the enemy be defeated! ”
"Our army is menacing, how can the Qin people let Hangu go and not defend it, how can Huayang Jun take the initiative to go out to fight?" One of the generals wondered.
Wei Yi smiled leisurely and said lightly: "This time, I have attacked Qin with the three Jins, and I said before I set out on the expedition that this is a protracted battle, and the Qin State is passively defending, so naturally it will not take the initiative to seek war." Having said that, I just want to force Huayangjun to come out and fight with me! ”
"The confrontation between the two armies is not just as simple as fighting each other on the battlefield." Wei Yuyao pointed to the Hangu Pass on the map and said: "The Qin army is guarding the pass, and our army's strong attack is bound to suffer heavy losses, which is definitely not the result I want to see." ”
"However, how can you break the test if you don't tackle the problem?"
"Tired Qin's plan!" Wei Yi said succinctly. Le Yi thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and said: "The last general understands, my three Jin soldiers are strong and strong, the grain and grass are abundant, and I can wait for work, and the Qin State will fight against my three Jin with the strength of one country, and the national strength will inevitably be insufficient, and over time, I will inevitably be eager to start a decisive battle with me." ”
Wei Yi smiled and said, "That's the case." The order goes down, our army will make a feint attack on Hangu Pass, and it will almost be withdrawn, but don't really attack the problem! ”
Obviously, Wei Yi is ready to take the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Three Jin Dynasty at the foot of Hangu Pass all year round, as long as the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces do not leave Hangu Pass, the Qin State must not relax its vigilance, but the 200,000 Qin troops in the pass are also people and want to eat.
Wei Yi's so-called strategy to exhaust Qin is to "drag", the essence of its strategy lies in this, the purpose is extremely clear, that is, to use the power of the three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State to consume national strength, the 200,000 horses in Hangu Pass have to eat and drink every day, and they are not able to farm, and if this continues, one day the grain of the Qin State will be consumed.
Although the Three Jin Dynasty is also consuming grain, grass and military resources, the biggest advantage of the Three Jin Dynasty is that it can afford it, and the Qin State will definitely not be able to support it first, and over time, the Qin State, which is not strong enough to support the country, will inevitably switch to take the initiative to seek war.
Today's Qin State has not yet repaired the capital Jiangyan, Hanzhong Shu is still a remote place in the west, and there is no country of abundance, so why does Qin fight with the Three Jin Dynasty to consume national strength?
Time passed day after day, and the Sanjin coalition army set up camp outside Hangu Pass, launching attacks every once in a while, but each time it was a tentative attack, with little strength, and it was obvious that they were trying their best to storm it.
