Chapter 216: The Shandong Rebellion
Under Wu Ming's order, a full 50,000 troops marched out of the east gate of Linjin Pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info crossed the suspension bridge of the river, left behind 5,000 soldiers and Zhang Meng to guard the ferry, beware of the Qin army in Hexi from crossing the river to the east of the river, so as to put pressure in the rear.
At noon, the mighty army was like a long dragon, wanting to go directly south, but at this moment, a scout rushed back.
The scout was full of anxiety, and without waiting for the horse to completely stop, he turned over and dismounted, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said loudly: "Report, there are more than 20,000 Qin troops crossing the Korean border and coming from the ferry to the east of our river——"
……
At this time, at the ferry, Shang Ying was personally commanding 20,000 Qin troops to cross the river. Their speed was faster than that of the Wei army, and they seemed to be in a hurry than the Wei army.
Because it was summer, in addition to the pontoon bridge at the ferry, the army also prepared many rafts, and the crossing of the river by 20,000 troops was only three or four rafts, and the time was even shorter than an hour.
Shang Ying, accompanied by two generals, stood on a boulder on the bank of the river and watched. It wasn't until the army was about to cross the river that Shang Ying got off the boulder, got on a raft with the two generals, and crossed the water.
The 20,000-strong army died down, seeking only speed along the way, sometimes crossing the small wooded hillside, taking shortcuts to reach the ferry between Hedong and Linjin Pass more quickly.
Shang Ying is really cunning! After leaving the Wei State, he turned around and went to South Korea, not because he was worried that he would be assassinated when he crossed the river, but because he secretly supported Han and declared that he would not be harmed! Shen Buxian reached an agreement with Shang Ying in private, and South Korea borrowed it!
As soon as Sima Coo returned to the Great Wall, he began to mobilize troops and horses, preparing to storm the cities of Wei in Hexi at night. According to the plan, the army of Wei would be deployed in Hexi, and Shang Ying once again recruited 100,000 Qin troops. Eight thousand were led by Sima Cuo, and attacked Yuanli and Heyang, the leaders of Wei, at two ends. The two cities could not take care of each other, and tried to destroy the existing army of Wei in one fell swoop.
Shang Ying led the Qin army to make a detour to the east of the Wei River and fortified at the ferry connecting the Linjin Pass, one was to prevent the Wei army from retreating, and the other was to prevent the Wei army from increasing its troops, so as to gain time for the complete containment of Hexi.
These two strategies are used together, if Wu Ming is unprepared, it is really possible to be trapped and killed by the Qin army in Hexi, and it is not easy to temporarily recruit troops through the Wei State at present.
The domestic green has already been recruited, and if it is temporarily forcibly recruited, there are only a few, and the combat effectiveness will not be too high.
In addition, with the matter of giving gifts to Wu Ming's mansion, Shang Ying concluded that Wu Ming would not easily endure this breath. If you bring troops to support, you can just take the opportunity to remove Wu Ming. In Shang Ying's psychology, Wu Ming is always a trouble. If it weren't for him, Hexi would have been in the hands of the Qin State long ago.
Along the way, the army galloped, and in order to speed up, Shang Ying even sent an order to 20,000 soldiers, and after this battle, the rewards were all doubled!
With this encouragement, the 20,000 soldiers ran faster.
But just as the army was passing through a forest, a Qin scout rode to Shang Ying's side and bowed: "Report - about 50,000 Wei troops have crossed the river and are currently heading south!" ”
"To the south?" Shang Ying immediately stroked his beard twice, and asked without worrying, "Wei Jun is here because of me?" ”
"It's not because our army is coming, depending on the situation, I want to go to South Korea."
"Do you know who the Wei army will be?"
"In the Wei army, it is under the banner of the great general Wu."
Hearing this, Shang Ying's eyes suddenly rolled. Obviously, the scheming lord was thinking about something.
Only a moment later, Shang Ying waved his hand violently and said to the generals who followed on both sides: "Order the whole army to stop advancing!" Go back the way you came, the faster you can—"
Hearing this, the two generals beside him just frowned in confusion for a while, but they didn't ask anything, executing military orders, and besides, Shang Ying's decision has always been not bad, so they will feel strange, but they don't have the slightest intention of questioning.
After the two of them left, Shang Ying turned to the scout who gave the order and said, "Continue to inquire about the movements of the Wei army, and report if there is any change—"
"No—"
After a short time, the entire Qin army's team, the rear team changed to the front team, and still maintained the speed at which it came.
……
It seems that it is impossible to meet with the Qin army.
Wu Ming listened to the news of the retreat of the Qin army from the scout, and couldn't help but curse Shang Yang in his heart.
Although he didn't know the real intention of the 20,000 Qin troops coming here, after learning the news that the Qin army had crossed the river, Wu Ming planned to pretend not to know, and give them a surprise attack when he got close to the Qin army, and eat the 20,000 Qin troops.
"Looking at the rapid turn of the Qin army now, it should be that he just discovered us, and gave the order to go down and pursue the Qin army at full speed." On horseback, Wu Ming was still dressed in red, still clutching the spear in his hand, and his face was as cold as before.
At this time, the general's team looked down from a high altitude, like two giant dragonflies chasing on the land east of the river. The Wei army, which was originally in black armor and red clothes, and was advancing on the main road, turned its head straight and entered the woods and hillsides, following the Qin army in black armor and black clothes.
It's just that the prepared Shang Yang accelerated the retreat in advance, and although the Wei army accelerated its speed to catch up, when it reached the edge of the ferry, it was still a step late, and the Qin army was already heading towards the west.
……
This back and forth tossed back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
The Wei army made its final rests on the other side of the river. Then he began to cross the river after Wu Ming's order.
The Qin army retreated to the Qin-Han border, and the Luocheng generation of South Korea was stationed.
At the same time, another major event in the world is also going on vigorously.
Chu, Zhao, Yan, and even Yue, the armies of the four countries approached the border of Qi, and for a time there was tension, and wars broke out in Qi.
The seven major vassal states, except for the Qin State, are now in turmoil, and the rest of the countries are all in chaos. The worst is the Qi State, followed by the Wei State and South Korea!
……
"Pass the order, no one shall kill the Korean people, the army will advance at full speed, and before dawn tomorrow, conquer Yiyang-" After Wu Ming led the Wei army across the river, he once again reorganized the army.
King Han's affairs, he doesn't want to, and he can't count them on the Korean people. If it provokes public resentment, this offensive road will be much more troublesome.
……
"What? Wei Fa's army of 50,000 suddenly crossed the border and went straight to Yiyang? "Late at night, King Han, who was far away in Zhengcheng, was shocked when he heard the news of the Wei army's entry! He had just laid down on the couch, and suddenly he was completely sleepy, and his forehead was full of sweat.
Yiyang is a large city in the northwest of Korea, and there are many food reserves in it, as well as weapons and armor. If Yiyang is lost, the Wei army can march all the way to the east and go straight to Zhengcheng. When the time comes, what should be used to resist the attack of the Wei army?
"How so, how so? The widow has not offended the Wei State recently, and the Wei State does not deal with the Qin State, so why did he send troops to attack our Korea? King Han, who looked frightened, stared at the ministers who came to deliver the message and only muttered to himself in a panic.
Such a clear word, such an obvious move! Obviously, at this moment, Han Wang Shang didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know that someone had given Tan Xing's head as a congratulatory gift in the name of his Han King and sent it over at the wedding of the general of Wei. Even, King Han didn't know that Xincheng had taken back Korea, he only knew that Qin wanted to use Korea to attack Wei, intending to recapture Hexi. At the same time, it was promised that as long as Korea borrowed the road, Hexi would return to Qin. Qin was willing to send troops to help Korea recover Xincheng.
For other things, King Han has been kept in the dark.
After a while, the panicked King Han came to his senses, hurriedly got up and put on his robe, and said to the ministers: "Quick, prepare the car, the widow wants to go to the Xiangguo Mansion——"
The madness of the old Han King, the natural disaster of the heavy snow covering the realm. All this has caused the disaster to Korea, which has already made Han Kang, a newcomer, dizzy.
I don't want to have a Wei country to attack Han now.
"No-" The minister, who sensed that things were not simple, hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly turned to leave.
In the dormitory, King Han hurriedly put on his robe, and after roughly tidying up his image, he also strode out.
But just when he had just crossed the bead chain, the ministers who had just gone out turned back again, and the moment they met King Han, the ministers did not dare to bow their heads and bow their hands in the slightest: "Your Excellency, Shen Xiangguo asks to see——"
What do you want!
King Han immediately put up a smile on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Please-oh no-let Xiangguo Huaqing Palace wait enough-"
"No—"
This is the dormitory, and I am not allowed to enter it if I am not a courtier, but after all, it is not a place to discuss things.
After the ministers left, King Han breathed a sigh of relief. There is no harm in Shen, and things may be able to take a big turn.
quietly calmed down his mood, and then King Han also hurried to Huaqing Palace.
In the palace, there were already ministers in charge of the lamp.
However, after King Han walked in, he saw the internal situation for the first time, but he was a little confused!
Shen Buxian was kneeling in the middle of the main hall, knocking his head on the low.
"Old Xiangguo, you are-" King Han was immediately startled, hurriedly turned around and walked in front of Shen Buxian, and bowed down to help Shen Buxian.
However, at this moment, Shen Buxian only knocked his head heavily on the low a few times. Accompanied by the dull sound of the knock knock, Shen Buxian choked directly, "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" The sin deserves death—"
"Old Xiangguo-you-you-what's the reason for you?" King Han hunched his waist, but his eyes were already red.
The minister privately agreed with the Qin envoy Shang Ying to capture Xincheng, but Wei took Tan Xing by Shang Ying. I don't want this person to pretend to be my Korean envoy when the general of Wei and the princess got married, and sent the head of General Wei to Wei as a congratulatory gift-" Saying this, Shen Buhu and self-reproaching kowtowed, and blood was already faintly showing on his forehead.
However, King Han, who heard this, was completely stunned! At a certain moment, King Han's face was only pale!
What a plan to lead the water to the east! He deceived Han and Wei to death like this!
The Qin State not only got Hexi, but also sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. When Wei and Han are defeated, they can finally be a fisherman.
Looking at the general trend of the world today! Chu, Zhao, Yan, Qi and even Yue were all involved in the war, and the Qi country lacked Qi, and the Qi country was already overwhelmed. However, in the end, Qi is the first power today, and in the face of the army of the four countries, although it does not have any advantages, it is not an end that cannot be resisted.
The countries of Shandong are in chaos! The Qin State sat back and enjoyed its success, and was stunned to change the things carefully planned by Wu Ming.
"Heh, Qin State, a good Qin State, a good Shang Ying-the widow actually believed the words of the Qin people-sent troops to Xincheng, why didn't Aiqing inform the widow in advance-"
After a while, King Han was already like an empty skin, his eyes were dull, and he only kept repeating that sentence in his mouth.
After a long time, King Han sat on the throne weakly, and at this moment, the whole person seemed to be empty.
"I don't know if Aiqing has a good plan to break this predicament?" After a long time, King Han regained some expression, looked at Shen Buxian and asked in a deep voice.
……
On this night, Wu Ming personally beat the drums for 45,000 soldiers! Outside Yiyang City, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
In the face of the high morale of the Wei army, the only 10,000 defenders in Yiyang City sweated in their hearts. There are only 10,000 people, not to mention a small number of people.
At this time, the national strength of South Korea was much worse than that of Wei. Although 30,000 troops were also assembled in this year's time and had a certain amount of training, these new armies could not be compared with the Wei army led by Wu Ming after all.
A whole wave of arrows rained down on the tower, and the Korean defenders inside were already hiding in fear. It wasn't until the rain of arrows passed that the Han army quietly showed its head.
But at this time, under Wu Ming's deliberate arrangement, the Wei army's arrow rain was actually shot out in two waves, but the interval was very short. By the time the two waves of arrows had passed, and the Han army had raised its head, the Wei army had already begun to climb the ladder and hit the city gate.
The Han army on the city tower began to release arrows one by one! Throw logs and boulders.
In the dark night, from time to time, the heads of Wei soldiers were hit by boulders, and red blood flowers bloomed in the moonlight.
Siege warfare inevitably involves casualties!
Looking at the fallen companions around him, the rest of the Wei army will only become more and more courageous, with no fear in their hearts, only hatred.
At the same time, Wu Ming began to shout under the city tower, "Listen to the Han army in the city, the Wei army is a benevolent and righteous army, and if the city is surrendered at this time, it can avoid death-"
Shouts resounded in the sky above Yiyang.
On the tower of the city, there was a Han army looking at the Wei army who was not afraid of death, trembling, slowing down the action of releasing arrows, thinking about something.
But just as he hesitated, a thousand men drew their swords and pierced his body directly behind him.
The bloody saber was raised, and the moment the blood slid down the tip of the sword, he shouted coldly: "Don't listen to the words of the Wei army, those who shake the king's heart will be killed-"
……
It's approaching the wee hours of the
Yiyang City is already in shambles. On the city tower, there are corpses of soldiers of the two armies everywhere, and the blood donations gather into a river, flowing slowly along the stairs of the city tower.
Wu Ming took a pair of soldiers to look around from the city tower. The breeze blew, and the feathered arrows stuck in the wall swayed slightly.
In the sky, the crows were heard from time to time.
"General Yu, a total of 3,000 Korean troops have been captured, how to deal with it, please decide to the general-" When Wu Ming went down the city tower, Liu Yun was already waiting in the city.
