Chapter 421: General's Style

Ning Jun also knew that Qin Jun Yingsi was difficult to deal with, and said: "Dealing with this kind of person, he won't give up if he doesn't push him into a corner." However, if Ying Si is defeated again in Michi this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Qin State to turn over in one or twenty years, which is also the price of being brave and ruthless. ”

Su Qin and Ning Jun analyzed in detail Qin Jun's intentions to win Si and the battle situation in Mianchi, and the two gradually formed some common opinions: Mianchi was besieged by the Qin army, and the Qin army would not easily stop in a short time.

Su Qin sighed and said, "I originally wanted to live a good life quietly for a year and a half, but who knew that Qin Jun was so reluctant, it seems that I still have to go to the front line of Michi in person." ”

Ning Jun glanced at Su Qin, and said in his heart: "There are antecedents and consequences, if it weren't for you Su Jizi to make such a big move: it was to return to Luoyang's hometown, to celebrate every day with a banquet, and to reward the old people and friends, indulging in gentleness and gentleness without thinking of progress, then Qin Jun would not necessarily dare to take large-scale military action immediately." ”

He complained in his heart, but after all, he was thinking of the friendship between the two, and he was still willing to do his best to give advice to Su Qin. Ning Jun said: "You have already sent someone to meet the princes to reinforce the army in Luoyang half a month ago, if Ji Zi leaves Luoyang now, I am afraid that the princes will be untrustworthy." ”

Ning Jun was determined to help his friend regardless of his personal safety, and he said: "Today's plan is to still sit in Luoyang for the time being, and meet with the princes from all walks of life, and I will go to Michi for you to assist the Korean army there against the Qin army." ”

Su Qin listened to Ning Jun's words and was very moved, thinking: "After all, we are friends who have experienced strong winds and waves together, and Ning Jun's loyal friendship has been shown at the critical moment. So far, it seems that this is the best option. ”

Out of emotion and gratitude, Su Qin raised the wine on a few cases, avoided the table as a respect, and said: "There is General Lao Ningjun, you go to the Mianchi battlefield first, and I am here waiting for the reinforcements of the princes." Together, we will definitely be able to break the conspiracy of the Qin army. ”

After the two agreed on their respective division of labor, the next day Ning Jun led more than 500 Zhao soldiers who had been carefully trained by him, and brought the Chu general Jing Feng, the Han general Ji Ji, the Yan general Feng Du and the princes and soldiers led by them, nearly 1,000 people, and immediately set off to the west after gathering and rushed to the battlefield of Mianchi.

Su Qin only left the soldiers of Qi led by Yan Sui, as well as his personal followers, a total of more than 300 people, as the guards around him.

Su Qin quickly sent another letter to the five eastern princes of Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei, and Chu requesting support for the Korean war.

In the second letter, Su Qin was not as gentle as the first one. In his letter, he stated the danger of the battle of Michi, and implored the princes to send troops to rescue him, and the princes from all walks of life should send at least 30,000 soldiers.

He deliberately emphasized: Only when there are many people can the Qin military retreat in the face of difficulties.

Su Qin agreed that on Jiazi Day five days later, the princes of all walks of life would meet outside Luoyang City. He predicted that hundreds of thousands of troops would march together to the battlefield of Michi.

Ning Jun led more than 1,000 soldiers to Sogo City at night to meet with Xu Mu of South Korea, but when he arrived in Sogo City, he learned that the Korean army had already moved in the direction of Michi two days ago and launched an attack on the Qin army to open up the connection between Korea and the Korean defenders of Shangguancheng.

When Ning Jun heard the news, he was taken aback, and couldn't help complaining: "It turns out that Han Gu and Xu Mu already have a plan for fighting, and he and Su Qin are still in the dark. ”

Judging from years of combat experience, Ning Jun had a premonition that the situation of the ROK army was not good. He vaguely felt that the Qin army's abandonment of the rapid attack on Shangguancheng was probably to wait for reinforcements from South Korea, and concentrate on besieging reinforcements, focusing on reinforcements, rather than besieging the city.

Han Hou should be patient and continue to wait for reinforcements from the other princes, when he gathers forces that far outnumber the Qin army, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Ning Jun thought: "Han Hou miscalculated the situation, thinking that the Han army in Shangguancheng was less than 3,000 people, and he could repel the attack of 80,000 or 90,000 Qin soldiers, and the Qin army had nothing to fear, so he took such a risky military action." ”

He was so anxious that he didn't stop at Sogo City, and then led his troops to Michi to support. If the South Korean army had not been ambushed as he had anticipated, he would have gone to the front line to observe the battle between the Qin and South Korean forces.

As soon as Ning Jun walked more than eighty miles, he encountered the Korean army that had retreated from the front of Michi, they were covered in blood, their robes and armor were torn apart, and they were in disarray. It seems that the Han army was not so lucky, and sure enough, it was difficult to escape the fate of being ambushed by the Qin army.

He led his army to continue to walk in, and the Korean routs he encountered poured over like a tide.

Seeing this scene, he guessed that the Han army had suffered a very heavy blow on the outskirts of Michi, and it might have been completely defeated by the Qin people, so the army was defeated.

A good Ning Jun, he is a battle-hardened brave general, a warrior who kills in and out of thousands of troops, at this time he does not retreat but advances, leading his soldiers to go retrograde, all the way to find the position of Xu Mu, the main general of South Korea, and the Chinese army.

The other princes and generals who accompanied Ning Jun, such as Jing Feng, Ji Ji and Feng Du, were already frightened to the point that their legs were weak when they saw the tragic situation of the defeat of the Han army.

Only the more than 500 sergeants who Ning Jun trained diligently in Luoyang strictly obeyed the general's orders and followed Ning Jun with strict discipline. Ning Jun's men were fierce and neatly lined up, in stark contrast to the South Korean troops who had fled and scattered.

Ning Jun rushed to a mountain pass between Michi City and Sogo City, and was meeting the Chinese army troops in South Korea, he saw the Chinese army's big flag from a distance, although it was already covered with muddy water, but a fire-breathing ring was faintly visible, and a big "Xu" word was written in the middle.

Judging from the banner, it should be where the Korean commander Xu Mu is, so Ning Jun chased after him with his subordinates.

When Ning Jun arrived close to Xu Mu, Xu Mu thought that the Qin army had killed the hinterland of the Han army, and his face turned pale with fright, and he almost fell off the war horse he was riding.

He was supposed to be sitting on the chariot to command the battle, but probably because the chariot was unable to move during the rout, so he temporarily found a war horse and fled towards Sogo City on horseback.

Ning Jun shouted to Xu Mu: "In front is General Xu Mu, the Korean captain, I am the troops sent by Prime Minister Su Qin to reinforce the Korean army, please take a step to speak." ”

Xu Mu heard Ning Jun's shout, and then he came to his senses, he didn't care about his identity as the main general at this time, rode a war horse, and went straight to Ning Jun.

Xu Mu saw that Ning Jun was dignified, majestic, and heroic, and secretly praised in his heart: "What a tiger general!" With the help of this person, our Han army may be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Qin army. ”

Xu Mu briefly briefed Ning Jun on the battle situation. It turned out that at first, when the troops led by Xu Mu entered the Mianchi area, they were not stopped by the Qin army, but when they were still seventy or eighty miles away from the goal of the march, they were fiercely attacked by the Qin army in a valley.

After a few showers of arrows, the South Korean army lost nearly one-third, and then thousands of black and oppressed Qin troops launched an extremely fierce charge against them, and the South Korean army of more than 100,000 was rushed to pieces in an instant, and the formation had already collapsed.

In desperation, Xu Mu issued an order to the Han army to retreat, but the direction of their retreat had also been blocked by the more than 30,000 Qin troops led by Gongsun Yan. The Han army led by Xu Mu didn't care about the formation, so they fled by seizing the road, rushing in all directions, and fleeing in the direction of Sogo City all over the mountains.

Now that the Qin army is in hot pursuit, the South Korean army has lost the slightest ability to resist, and only cares about running away, but hates that his parents have lost two feet, lose their armor, and become an army.

Ning Jun listened to what Xu Mu said, he was even more anxious, he said to Xu Mu: "Today's plan is to organize an effective defense, otherwise, the Korean army has fled back to Sogo City, I am afraid that even Sogo City will not be able to hold it, and it will have to continue to move to the rear, in that way, Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, will also be in danger." ”

Xu Mu wiped the muddy water on his face and replied, "What General Ning said is extremely true, but the army has been dispersed, how can it be concentrated?" I can't help it. ”

Ning Jun saw that Xu Mu was full of bitterness and helpless, and thought: "How can South Korea appoint such a straw bag general as a captain, it is estimated that he is another sycophancy who relies on his whiskers and horses to rise to the top." ”

He hated Xu Mu, but he couldn't help but think about saving Han Jun. Ning Jun is a general who is used to fighting on the battlefield, what kind of formation has he never seen? How to take advantage of the situation in the case of victory, and how to save the defeat when defeating, of course, he has experienced it many times.

Ning Jun already had a plan at this time, and told Xu Mu in a firm tone: "If General Xu escapes back to Xinzheng like this, presumably Han Hou will not spare you." Therefore, the top priority is to carry out self-rescue, minimize losses, and keep Sogo City from losing. ”

Xu Mu saw that Ning Jun was not flustered at all, and he was full of the style of a mighty and steady general, and he was also encouraged, and when he heard Ning Jun's analysis, he deeply agreed, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

Ning Jun then took the lead and took the place of Xu Mu to preside over the overall situation, he instructed Xu Mu: "General Xu can't retreat anymore, if you can't stop the formation, then the other Korean troops will follow you and retreat, and even those who want to resist will be swept backwards." ”

Xu Mu looked bitter and said, "I don't want to retreat either, but the Qin army behind is chasing very quickly, and we can't resist it!" ”

Ning Jun said: "The Qin army is good at crossbow and arrow formations to deter the soul of the opponent, and now they are also in pursuit, so naturally they can't put out an arrow formation, and they are also desperately chasing forward, and there is no stable formation." ”
