Plains Wars

The next day, the general Tie Xiao led 20,000 cavalry, wearing the armor of the Northern Wei army, and killed directly at the weir pass. The Chu army is in the big tent, and the marshal of the Chu army is Li Guangming, the sixth brother of the emperor of Chu State, Li Guangming, the sixth brother of Minwang, and his generals Rao Shiyi, Tong Xing and others. "Report", a spy quickly entered the big tent, "Qi Yu Wang, a large number of cavalry of the Northern Wei Army in the direction of Quyan City are killed at Yanguan. Min Wang Li Guangming: "Can you see clearly?" Spy: "Yes, my lord, it's true." Li Guangming, King of Min: "Explore again, and observe the movement of Yanguan City by the way." "Yes".

In the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent General Mi Zheng to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Hechuan City and Huaiyuan City. The Prairie tribes achieved their purpose and fled in disgrace. 20,000 troops were stationed in Hechuan City, but the Northern Wei army did not dare to attack Yanping City, Yanping was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then there was a Dehua Division Military Region where to station, so the Northern Wei Dynasty could only swallow the bitter fruit this time. In fact, Hechuan and Huaiyuan are the dividing line between the east and west of the Northern Wei Dynasty, once it is controlled, the Northern Wei Dynasty will be divided into two sections, and the east and west cannot be taken into account, so the Northern Wei Dynasty will urgently send troops to recapture Hechuan City and reinforce Huaiyuan.

The commander of the Dingchuan Division Military Region made Wang Zhichuan carefully read the letter of the general Tie Xiao. Wang Zhichuan: "This old iron is really good at playing, okay, then I'll have fun." Guard, call Ding Yan over. "Yes, General." After a while, the cavalry general Ding Yan came, dressed in armor and imposing. "General, I don't know what you want to do in the future?" Ding Yan asked. Wang Zhichuan: "Come here with your ears." Wang Zhichuan gently told him the plan. Ding Yan: "My subordinates understand. With that, Ding Yan withdrew from the tent.

Leaving the big tent, Ding Yan directly led his 15,000 cavalry out of the barracks.

The Chu army is in the big tent, and a spy rushes into the big tent. Spy: "Lord Qiqi, there is no change in the city of Yanguan, but the Northern Wei army later killed a large group of Qi cavalry." Li Guangming, King of Min: "Okay, notify the army, and immediately attack the weir pass again."

The picture turned to the night before, the night was bright, and the two joined together under a tree, "This is what Master Hu asked me to hand over to you." One said, and the other: "Okay, you can go back first!" The two left separately. The one who got the letter? Ride away quickly. This morning, this man came to the big tent of the Chu army and handed the letter to Li Guangming, the king of Min. Li Guangming opened the letter, "Lord Wang, the assassination of Tie Xiao was successful, Tie Xiao was carrying an arrow, and his life and death are currently unknown." The Iron Mansion was tightly guarded, and the Qi State blocked the news, Hu Chenshu. After Li Guangming saw the letter, he was overjoyed. Combining everything, it promoted Li Guangming, the king of Min, to send troops to attack the weir pass.

The weir closes the city wall, and the soldiers are ready to fight. At this time, tens of thousands of troops of the Chu army had been dispatched. The Yanguan City is attacked head-on, and the chance of victory is not great, but if it is attacked before and after, the Yanguan will undoubtedly collapse. A large number of Chu troops pressed over like black clouds. Hundreds of trebuchets went ahead, followed by infantry, and finally cavalry. The battle was about to break out, Li Guangming was triumphant, but Zhao Yong, the general of the Yanguan Pass, was full of confidence.

"Report." A cavalry caught up with Tie Xiao, "General, the Chu army is already preparing to attack the city." "In fact, Tie Xiao's army is advancing very slowly, and the Ding Yan cavalry behind has also received news. Ding Yan immediately turned around and went straight out of Quyan City, followed by Tie Xiao. More than 30,000 troops poured out of Quyan City like a tide, and the soldiers on the Quyan city wall were stunned. A soldier on the city wall asked another soldier: "Brother Chen, why is there still a Northern Wei army behind it?" "Stupid, that's our own people, don't meddle in things, stand guard well." "Yes, Brother Chen." In fact, Quyan City and Yanguan are only separated by dozens of miles. Outside Quyan City is a plain. The Northern Wei army originally wanted to take advantage of the distance between Quyan and Yanguan to be much smaller than the distance between Yanguan and Dingchuan and Longnan Military Regions to attack Yanguan, because the resistance of Yanguan from the rear was much smaller than that of the previous attack. But all this was shattered by Song Qian's failure.

In front of Yanguan City, accompanied by Li Guangming's order, the Chu army rushed towards Yanguan City. The trebuchet struck one after another, and the giant tree crashed into the wall of the weir pass under the combined force of dozens of Chu soldiers. The roar was earth-shattering, and rows of ladders were set up on the wall of the weir pass, and the battle scene was very fierce. The soldiers of the Chu army climbed the ladder one after another, but they were all stoned down by the soldiers of Qi who defended the city. The Qi soldiers guarding the city wall also suffered heavy casualties under the pressure of the trebuchet, but none of the Qi soldiers retreated, because behind them was their homeland, where there were their families, villagers, and elders.

By noon, neither side of the battle had any intention of resting. Suddenly, a large number of Qi cavalry rushed from the flank, and the pressure of the Chu army increased instantly, and the cavalry in the rear phalanx hurriedly responded to the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely. At this time, Zhao Yong, the guard of the weir pass who supervised the battle on the city wall, gave an order, and the soldiers of the weir pass went out of the city to fight. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of troops fought on this plain. Not long after the battle, Li Guangming already felt that it was not good, so he had to fight and retreat, and the soldiers of Qi became more and more courageous, bravely killing the enemy, and chasing all the way. Approaching Xiangyang City, the general Tie Xiao ordered the whole army to retreat. In this battle, the Qi army won a complete victory. The Chu army lost nearly half, which also determined the relative stability of Qi and Chu in the next few years.

The scene shifts to another place, where Yang Zhihao and Li Fan arrive in Suzhou. The ancient city of Suzhou exudes a majestic atmosphere, which is worthy of being the martial arts township of Qi State, and even the children who play with the joints will be so double-beaten. The streets of Suzhou City are very lively, Yang Zhihao and Li Fan have just arrived, they are not familiar with the place, and they dare not say much. In the process of moving forward, they heard a few people chatting, probably saying that Sun Yanliang, the martial arts master of Suzhou today, was going to recruit new disciples. Both of them were excited after hearing this, but they didn't expect that it would be the right time. Yang Zhihao and Li Fan found an inn to live in, and planned to sign up after a few days off.

Outside the city, corpses are everywhere, and the smell of death is everywhere. The soldiers of Qi were more joyful than sad, because they had lost many brothers, and they dragged their brothers' bodies back to bury them. This is the style of Qi ** people. After every battle, whether they won or lost, they would pay tribute to their dead brothers. A group of people led by General Tie Xiao personally participated in this ceremony. It was only when it was all over that they began to celebrate the victory. But Tie Xiao was not carried away by the victory, he still made strict arrangements to prevent the Chu army from attacking at night.

On the second day, it was time for Tie Xiao to leave. He stood on the high platform of the school field and said generously: "Brothers of Yanguan, we won this battle, and we won more with less. But we should not be proud, because there are still countless unknown wars waiting for us. Death is inevitable, and today we have lost countless brothers, but we should be strong in grief and gain strength in grief. We still have a lot of lost land in Daqi, and we should not forget that the loss of Jingxiang is still in the hands of their Chu people. Remember, forgetting the war is dangerous. With that, Tie Xiao led a pair of cavalry to leave in the farewell of the soldiers at Yanguan.

Tie Xiao, who is galloping on a horse, doesn't know how many disasters there will be in the future, but he will go on bravely, because he loves Qi and his motherland. But at this time, two shadows appeared in his mind, the wife and children he had not yet found, where they were now, he had been looking for a long time, although he had another home in the imperial capital.
