Chapter Fifty-Nine: Fighting Wei Ang
The two armies in the wilderness collided fiercely. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly shouted and killed the sound of the sky, a famous herald galloped in the battlefield, and there was a dirt slope behind the Wei army. Wei Ang stood on top of the chariot, his eyes fixed on the battlefield in front of him, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
A soldier rode a horse and ran quickly, saw Wei Ang on the chariot, and hurriedly reported the military situation: "The Zhao army dispatched 500 chariots, and 40,000 foot soldiers are fighting with the advance of our army."
"There are only more than 20,000 people in the vanguard of our army, and there is a decline now."
"There are signs of dispatch in the headquarters of the forbidden army of Zhao State, and the forward generals of our army are asking for reinforcements."
A general of Wei State, after hearing the military situation, asked Wei Ang who was standing on the chariot to fight: "The general and the last general are willing to lead the army and break these five hundred chariots."
"Just 500 chariots, the end of the general can be broken in the palm of your hand."
"I know the advantages and disadvantages of the chariot, and the last general will petition to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack."
Wei Ang was unmoved when he heard the general's call for battle, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and saw that the forward was fighting and retreating, and weighed it in his heart: "Pass the order to go down, and attack on the left and right flanks."
"Command". The two heralds bowed, patted their horses lightly, and ran to the left and right.
On the battlefield, the Wei army's forward gradually became weaker, and it was about to be defeated. There was a sound of neat footsteps from the rear, and two huge phalanxes of foot soldiers came directly to the direction of the Zhao army's chariot from the left and right.
The emperor looked at the phalanx of Wei soldiers who rushed from the left and right, and his heart tightened. Despite its great lethality, the vehicle lacks flexibility. In the face of enemy troops from the left and right, it looks a little vulnerable. On a chariot that rushed to the front, sweat gradually appeared in Xue Qian's palm. Can't let these Wei foot soldiers hit the chariot, thinking of raising an arm here. The sound of horsewhips came from the chariots, and then five hundred chariots rushed forward as if they had gone mad.
The two Wei infantry phalanxes did not chase the chariot, but gradually converged from two directions, dividing the entire battlefield in two. The five hundred chariots led by Xue Qian were completely separated from the Zhao State infantry behind them. Xue Qian seemed to feel something, and was about to give an order to those chariots. From the front, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and three hundred chariots rushed out of the Wei army and slammed into them. Immediately after that, a dark cloud seemed to appear in the sky, and a rain of arrows rushed towards the five hundred chariots led by Xue Qian with the breath of death.
A soldier with blood stains ran quickly towards the Central Army of Zhao State. Seeing Zhao Yu on a chariot, he didn't have time to salute and hurriedly reported: "Prince Qiqi and Wei Ang's headquarters of the Wei army suddenly dispatched two infantry phalanxes, and the battlefield has now been divided into two."
"Commander Xue's headquarters has fallen into encirclement, and it seems that there is a danger of annihilation." Before he could finish speaking, another soldier came running quickly, his tone very hurried.
Shen Tuxiu on the side didn't wait for Zhao Yu to speak, and asked first: "How many people are in the two foot soldier phalanx?" How many troops have been put into Weiang's department now."
"The two infantry phalanxes total 30,000, and with the Wei army that already exists, the number should be no less than 50,000 now." A soldier said the answer without thinking.
Shen Tuxiu thought of Xue Qian, made a decision in his heart, and bowed to Zhao Yu: "At this time, 100,000 people are in a hurry, and the last general is willing to lead 20,000 forbidden troops to support Xue Duwei."
"Quasi". A quasi-word seemed to pop out of Zhao Yu's teeth, and he thought that Xue Qian would be able to stop Wei Ang's troops with 500 chariots and 40,000 foot soldiers. Unexpectedly, this has become a luxury.
As soon as the words fell, the emperor waved his whip. Shen Tuxiu took 20,000 forbidden troops and rushed directly forward.
On the battlefield, Xue Qian watched the chariots fall, and his heart gradually despaired. The two armies had been fighting for half a day, and at this time, the chariots under his command had long been exhausted, and they could only fall to the ground with hatred when they were suddenly surrounded and killed by the Wei army's refreshed fresh force.
In the rear of the Wei army's infantry phalanx, the sound of swords and soldiers was loud. The soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were originally tired, were shocked when they saw Shen Tuxiu leading the forbidden army that had been recuperating for a long time. Muster up the strength of your whole body and fight desperately. The encirclement of the Wei army was slowly torn apart, and a large number of Zhao soldiers rushed to the front. Xue Qian was desperate, but he was overjoyed to see the reinforcements coming, and hurriedly urged the emperor to crash forward.
A Wei soldier quickly ran to the rear, and when he saw Wei Ang on the high slope, he hurriedly saluted: "General, Zhao army dispatched 20,000 forbidden troops, and the encirclement of our army has been torn apart."
"Twenty thousand forbidden troops? Well, Ben will know." Wei Ang thought for a while, and it seemed that he had expected such a situation for a long time. He invested 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000 had become a tired army. The other side dispatched 60,000 soldiers, but 40,000 soldiers and horses were already exhausted, so it seems that even if their side does not invest in soldiers and horses, it can have a relatively large chance of winning.
The surrounding generals had obviously realized Wei Ang's calculations, and the words of flattery for war were endless: "The general's clever plan, first fight the enemy army with 20,000 against 40,000." After the enemy army was tired, he dispatched a phalanx of 30,000 infantry soldiers who had been recuperating for a long time to divide the enemy army. Let that Zhao Wuming be at a loss, and he had to dispatch the forbidden army of Zhao State to relieve the siege."
"In this way, although the number of our army is small, it can also have the upper hand."
"Our army is recuperating, and how can it be invincible against these tired soldiers."
"The general will ask for battle, and at this time the enemy army in front of him is already tired, and it is a good opportunity for our army to attack and swallow it in one bite."
As soon as these words came out, all the generals reacted one after another. Although the enemy army had 200,000 troops, they were composed of a broken army after all. As long as the first battle can be won beautifully, then they may turn into a rout again. Thinking of this, one by one's eyes shone brightly, and it was at this time that he became famous: "Please give the order of the general, and the whole army will attack."
As soon as the words fell, footsteps came, and a soldier held a roll of bamboo slips in both hands and handed it to Wei Ang: "General, urgent report from the rear."
"Urgent?". Wei Ang was a little puzzled, and subconsciously opened the bamboo slip, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
The generals were waiting for the military order for the whole army to attack, but they didn't hear Wei Ang's voice for a long time, and raised their heads one by one: "General? Is there something happy in the rear".
"The heirs of Anyang Jun are really cunning, and in the face of such a situation, they actually dare to divide 100,000 troops to attack our army camp in person." Wei Ang put away the bamboo slips and was very sure in his heart, it seems that the heirs of Anyang Jun are nothing more than that.
The generals were stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something had been thought, and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces: "The general deliberately left 50,000 elites, and it turned out that they were waiting for them."
"In this way, it seems that the main general of the enemy army in front should be Zhao Yu, the prince of Zhao State."
"No wonder our army of 20,000 can stop their 40,000 soldiers and horses so easily. At first, I thought that An Yangjun's successor was a mediocre person, but I didn't expect him to have a backhand."
"Backhand? In the back hand, it can't escape the palm of the general."
"As long as the 50,000 elites in the camp can hold Zhao Wuming back. When the general arrives with the army, then everything will be a foregone conclusion."
Wei Ang listened to the words of the surrounding generals, and a sense of pride rose in his heart: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and Zhao Yu will be captured alive."
