Chapter 263: The Battle of Ailing [Part II]

The national letter immediately called all the remaining soldiers and joined the battlefield under the leadership of their respective generals. For a while, on the hills of Ailing, there were shouts of killing everywhere. A radius of twenty miles seems like a lot, but when it is filled with more than 160,000 people, this land seems narrow.

Every second, every moment, someone is killing, someone is being killed. Blood is like a cheap spring, constantly gushing out and pouring on this land.

Troop wagons rampage across the battlefield, knocking soldiers into the air or crushing their limbs with hobs on wheels. But soon the rampaging military vehicles were stabbed to death by the infantry with spears, long ge, and long beryllium, and the military vehicles were also overturned to the ground. A soldier of the Lu State had just stabbed the enemy to death with a spear, and before he could pull out his spear, his head had already been cut off by an enemy who did not know where it came.

At this moment, the battlefield can be called chaos, and no one can see who occupies an absolute advantage.

But after the national letter invested all the Qi army, the situation began to change slowly, after all, the Qi army was still the side with a relatively large number of people after all. On the contrary, it is the Wu-Lu coalition army, and nearly half of the soldiers on the battlefield at this moment are soldiers of the Lu State. The soldiers of the Lu State cannot be compared with the Qi army in terms of armor or training, and the only Wu army that is stronger than the Qi army in combat effectiveness is only 30,000 people.

As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, although there are Xu Menchao, fierce generals Ru Cao, Zhanru, Meng Wubo and others fighting desperately, as well as 30,000 brave Wu troops, but the battle situation is still tilted in the unfavorable direction of the Wulu coalition army.

At this time, the leader of the Wulu coalition army, Fucha, was standing on a high slope, coldly watching the dusty battlefield below. At this moment, the husband is like an outsider, and people who don't know are still there to see the lively guys.

Bo Yao, who was following Fucha, did not have Fucha's surname, and he saw the more and more unfavorable battle situation below, and his heart became more and more anxious.

Assuming that Fucha is defeated in this battle, then the combat effectiveness of Wu will be greatly damaged, and even Bo Yao is no exception. Because of this battle, he also brought 3,000 county soldiers from his own fiefdom, of course, this is not what Bo Yao fears the most. After all, Bo Yao doesn't have much money, but he has a lot of money, and if he has money, he can recruit soldiers, and after two or three years of training, he won't have another 3,000 county soldiers!

But the problem that Bo Yao is worried about is Wu Zixu! If Fucha is defeated by the Qi army in this battle, whether Fucha is willing or not, Wu Guogong or other doctors and families will regard Wu Zixu as a savior. In this way, Wu Zixu will regain his power, especially the military power, did he have a good time at that time?

Think about it with your toes, Wu Zixu is upright, but he is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue, look at the time when he invaded the capital of Chu, even if King Chuping died, he didn't let go, found his grave and dug it out, whipped the corpse three hundred, and then threw it in the wilderness and exposed it, you can see that Wu Zixu is almost the same if he is not a person who will repay him.

After half a ring, Bo Yao saw that his husband was still indifferent, and couldn't help but say: "King, although the soldiers of the three armies are using their lives now, the situation is very bad!" Why didn't the king send reinforcements! ”

"It's not time yet!" Fucha said indifferently.

When Bo Yao heard this, he was so anxious that a sense of urine came to his heart, and he didn't care about persuading his husband, so he ran to the side of the grass to apply fertilizer. Came to the husband's side again, left and right, the husband still didn't do anything, and the mood of waiting for Bo Yao can be called like a year. I don't know how long it has been, Bo Yao only feels that time is as long as hundreds of years have passed, and Bo Yao can't help but say to his husband again: "King, I'm afraid the soldiers below won't be able to hold on!" ”

Fucha frowned when he heard this, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! But only a quarter of an hour has passed, and the outnumbered warriors can continue to hold on for at least an hour! ”

"King, this victory is also a miserable victory!" Bo Yao said anxiously, it was not a question of whether he won miserably or not, but he was afraid that his husband would not be able to grasp the degree of this and be defeated by the Qi army.

The husband thought for a while, and then said, "Go down and prepare!" ”

"The king is wise!" When Bo Yao heard this, he was overjoyed.

"You go and mobilize the soldiers and horses, and after half an hour to support, go and transfer the soldiers and horses of your headquarters!" The husband said indifferently.

When Bo Yao heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and they almost turned into goldfish eyes. Bo Yao said with a bitter face: "King, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the minister's headquarters!" ”

"Ten thousand is enough!" The husband said disappreciatively.

Bo Ya's eyes rolled twice, and he didn't know what excuse he came up with to say that his husband was wrong, so Bo Yao immediately said, "King! ……”

Knowing that Bo Ya's words had just been spit out, the husband had already glared at Bo Ya and shouted, "Isn't the widow's order clear enough? ”

Bo Yao, who was originally strong, saw that her husband had almost moved the real fire, and immediately shrank. He replied with a flattering face: "When the minister hears it, the minister will go down to dispatch troops!" ”

By the time half an hour had passed, the defense line of the Wu-Lu coalition had become more fragile, and the war had become an all-out defense by the Wu-Lu coalition army, while the Qi army was attacking with all its might. There is no longer the situation of the previous attack, and he can see that Bo Ya's heart is cold, and he can't take care of rectifying the soldiers, for fear that his support army has not yet gone up, and the front has collapsed.

immediately led the scattered Wu soldiers to kill, which really shocked the morale of the Wu-Lu coalition army on the battlefield. Why? No matter how scattered they rushed up, there was no neat formation, and they were covered with dust when they walked, so people miscalculated the number of people who came to support, and only said that the reinforcements came 20,000 or 30,000.

The Qi army was also a little stunned, and their attack involuntarily slowed down a little. You are relieved, the Wulu coalition army on the opposite side is not welcome. They immediately took the opportunity to reorganize their ranks, and they didn't care whether they were soldiers from Lu or Wu, anyway, if they were soldiers who were disrupted, they immediately supplemented them to the ranks that lacked people on the front line.

After this addition, the defense line of the Wulu coalition army immediately strengthened a lot. It is still the national book that has some skills, and seeing that the Qi army has slowed down the attack a little, I can't help but know that the Qi army has delayed the reality. couldn't help but be a little angry, the national secretary immediately beat the drum in person, the commander beat the drum in person, and the Qi army couldn't take care of the reinforcements that appeared on the battlefield, and fought hard again.

However, the situation on the battlefield was not as smooth as the previous attack of the Qi army, and after the consolidation of the defense line of the Wulu coalition army, the Qi army, which had miscalculated the situation, suffered a small loss, and for a time the Wulu coalition army still had the upper hand. However, the time for which this gained the upper hand was very short, after all, the strength advantage of the Qi army was here.

Zhan Ru, Xu Menchao, Meng Wubo, and Wang Zigu Cao, these generals, saw only 10,000 reinforcements. also immediately put away the idea of taking the opportunity to counterattack, and ordered to continue to defend with all his strength, while the Qi army gritted its teeth and launched an attack.

Wave after wave of attacks shook the defense line of the Wulu coalition army, and even by this time the battle had already occurred in some places. After a long time, the defense line of the Wulu coalition army has been torn open a few times, and fortunately, the soldiers of the Wu army are brave and bravely counterattack several times, which did not lead to the division of the Wulu coalition army by the Qi army.

But the Wu-Lu coalition army is not comfortable either! They can now be said to be trading flesh and blood, in exchange for time. Of course, the Qi army is not easy, and at this time in the battle, although the Qi army occupies an absolute advantage, every step they take, every inch, is at the cost of blood.

"King! General Zhanru asks for help! Ask the king to send troops to help! A bloodied soldier ran up to his husband, knelt down on one knee, and pleaded hoarsely.

"The widow knows, come and take this warrior down to rest!" The husband said expressionlessly.

"No!" Before the soldier could speak, the two palace guards had already half-forced the soldier to rest.

At this moment, although Wang Sun Luo, who was standing behind his husband, had a better surname than Bo Yao, but when it came to this time, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, hesitated for a while, and took a step forward and said: "King, this is already the seventh messenger, I'm afraid they really won't be able to hold on for long!" ”

"The Qi army is also almost at the limit!" Fucha still said with an expressionless face, but in fact, careful people can find that Fucha is holding the right hand of the hilt of the sword, and the palm and hilt of the sword are all wet with sweat.

"But the king, the minister should be almost enough!" Wang Sun Luo gritted his teeth and said.

"The widow has his own opinion! Doctor Wangsun, you don't need to say much! The husband waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

Although Wang Sunyu had the heart to advise, he was afraid that his husband would pour out his anger on him, so he could only resist the impulse in his heart, retreat to his original position, and observe the battle situation uneasily.

"King!" At this time, someone came again, but this time it was not a soldier, but a general. However, this person seemed to have been fished out of a pool of blood, except for the fact that he could see that the person was a general from his armor, he couldn't tell who he was for a while. Wang Sunluo looked at it carefully, and then remembered who this general was, this person's surname was Bo Ming Di (fu, Yin Fu), although he was only a doctor, but he was the only concubine of Dazai Boyao.

"The king, the minister's father, Bo Yao, asked the minister to tell the king that now there are 10,000 warriors of the Wu Kingdom on the battlefield who have sacrificed their lives for the king! The minister's father, Bo Yao, asked the minister to plead with the king, don't let the warriors of Wu continue to sacrifice like this! Bo Di said pleadingly.

"The widow knows! Go down and get some rest! The husband hesitated for a while, but still said this.

Bo Jiden was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Fucha was so ruthless, he hadn't come back to his senses, and the palace guards had already taken him down. But Bo Di sighed, and instead of resting, he turned and threw himself into battle.

"Are you too ruthless to say a widow?" Fucha looked up at the sunny sky and muttered. It's like asking the sky, as if you're asking yourself, and as if you're asking the people around you.

No one answered, or no one dared to answer. After the husband said this, he never spoke again, and the doctor on the battlefield was also dead hearted, and did not send anyone to ask the husband for help.

The sun began to set in the west, and after half a day of fighting, both the Qi army, which firmly held the upper hand, and the Wu-Lu coalition army, which was held down, had already begun to feel fatigued. Especially the soldiers of the Wu-Lu coalition army, if we talk about the exhaustion of the Qi army, then they are already exhausted.

"Attack!" Fucha roared in a low voice, his voice indescribably cheerful, as if he had released all his previous grievances.

The 20,000 Wu troops had long been suffocated, and their comrades were desperately working on the battlefield, while they were resting in the rear. In particular, I happened to see some messengers who had been half-escorted back, and saw them covered in blood. These Wu troops are all ashamed, and now that they have finally attacked, how can they not be excited!?

Fu Cha divided the 20,000 Wu army into three groups, two of 7,000 men and one of 6,000 men. Fucha and Wang Sunluo, as well as another general, each led a Wu army. The three were quickly planted on the side of the battlefield. And by the time they were ambushed, the defense line of the Wu-Lu coalition army on the battlefield was already crumbling.

Fucha immediately ordered to send an order to attack, but this order was very strange, and the general attack was to beat the drum and retreat to sing gold. But this attack turned the other way around, with Mingjin as the offensive signal.

The attacking Qi army was immediately excited, only that the Wulu coalition army in front could no longer hold on. But the truth was so cruel, they had just let out a cheer, and the three elite soldiers who had been ambushed by the three soldiers had already inserted themselves into the battle formation of the Qi army from the flanks like arrows from the string.

Wang Sunyu and another Wu State doctor inserted from the left and right flanks respectively, and immediately divided the Qi army into three pieces. And Fucha himself was attacking the rear of the Qi army.

The Qi army was in chaos, and the 20,000 Wu troops were not only raising elites, they were also soldiers carefully selected from the more than 60,000 Wu troops, and some of them were veterans who participated in a series of wars in which Wu defeated Chu that year.

With only 20,000 horses and horses, the remaining 90,000 Qi troops who had fought until now were completely defeated. The national letter can't respond at all, why is there such a big contrast between the front and back? Aren't we going to win? How did it become a failure now? And why did morale drop so much?

In fact, this is very normal, a person falling from heaven to hell is far worse than a person falling from the mortal world to hell. This is also why many people jump off buildings after failing in the stock market, are all of them really unable to survive? No, it's just that they are used to living that kind of rich life, and they really can't accept the life of no more than green vegetables and tofu at every meal, and even a hungry and full meal.

And the Qi army at this moment is also like this, and the Wulu coalition army, which was originally exhausted, is as if everyone has taken an aphrodisiac at this moment, and their spirits are lifted.

"Kill back! Kill all the dogs of Qi country! ”

"them!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

All the Wu-Lu coalition troops have forgotten what it means to be tired, and even the Lu army, which has always been regarded as sheep by the Qi State, has turned into a jackal at this moment. Under the leadership of Wu Jun's group of tigers, he killed Qi Jun to the ground, and only hated why his parents didn't give him two more legs.

Guoshu also panicked, and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

The order to retreat is to go down, but the question is whether the retreat can be done? At this time, Qi Jun discovered that the terrain around Ailing was really a cheat! The section that was intercepted by the husband, although it was not dangerous. But if the Qi army wants to escape, they will have to climb over the hills and hills on both sides. When you turn over, I'm afraid that the Wulu coalition army that walked flat will have bypassed it long ago.

But having said that, now that the Qi army has lost its fighting spirit, they would rather climb over the hills and hills, with the mentality of just in case, rather than dare to greet the husband.

But Fucha didn't know what it meant to accept it when he saw it, so he left 4,000 people to intercept it, and he led 3,000 people, standing on the military chariot, waving the golden Fucha spear, and playing seven in and seven out in the Qi army battle array.

The war did not end until dusk, and when the husband heard Bo Ya's incomplete statistics, he immediately laughed toothless.

Although it is not known how many Qi soldiers have been killed and captured, the Qi army is basically certain to have been served, at least ten Qi soldiers, and let him escape. And the military chariots brought by the Qi army were also served in one pot, 1,000 military chariots for battle, excluding the battle damage, 800 times went into Fucha's pocket. In addition, 500 troop wagons used to transport baggage and defend were also seized by the husband in the camp.

This time, the marshal sent by the State of Qi was also invited by his husband to make friends. The generals of the upper army and the generals of the lower army, Gao Wupi and Zong Ying, did not run away, and one was captured alive by the fierce general Ru Cao. The other was the driver who was shot dead by Xu Menchao, and flew out of the military vehicle and fell dizzy. He was captured alive by the soldiers ordered by Xu Menchao, and is now recuperating from his wounds in the Wu army.

Gongsun waved his life and fled by car, but when he encountered a mud pit, Bo Yao's son Bo Di took the opportunity to order the soldiers to shoot him with arrows. In addition, the other generals, such as Gongsun Xia, were all captured by Fucha. In this battle, a total of seven generals were captured by Fucha, and this general is not called a general by everyone. According to the military system of the Qi State, the one who commands 10,000 people is the general.

In addition to the dead generals, the generals sent by the Qi State this time were all wiped out by the husband. As for the soldiers who escaped over the hills, few escaped.

Even now, although it is already dusk, there are still many soldiers and generals in the Wu army who go to the field with torches to capture the Qi soldiers regardless of their hard work.

…… Tian Fu ...... "Father! Father! Big things are wrong! Tian Chang ran into the room in a panic, and in a panic, he came in without even taking off the clogs.

Tian Qi couldn't help frowning, and said with a lack of energy: "What are you panicking about!" Look at your shoes! ”

"Yes!" When Tian Chang heard this, he reacted, hurriedly retreated to the door, took off his clogs, and then walked into the room.

Tian Qi coughed twice and asked, "What happened?" ”

"The national letter is defeated!" Tian Chang said with a pale face.

"What is that! Didn't my father tell you that most of the letters of state would be defeated this time! Tian Qi said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"It's not!" Tian Chang hurriedly explained: "Father, it's the whole army that has been wiped out!" Ten generals, not one of them escaped! ”

"What!" Tian Qi couldn't keep his composure, and when he panicked, Tian Qi couldn't help coughing again.

"Father! You're all right! Tian Chang was in a state, and immediately nervously took his knees as his feet, walked to Tian Qi's side, and patted Tian Qi's back lightly and heavily.

After half a ring, Tian Qi felt a lot better, waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is nothing to do for my father, I still didn't have my father's surname for my father's last serious illness before, what am I afraid of for my father now!" It's just a small cough! Go down and prepare the carriage at once! ”

When Tian Chang heard this, he was stunned, looked up at the sky outside, and said, "Father is so late, and he is still going there!" ”

"Go to the palace! I'm afraid it's too late! Tian Qi said.

"Huh? Father's ...... What's going on here? Tian Chang asked suspiciously.

"What is Ailing? It is the source of Zishui! Now every minute and second (second) can lead to the destruction of the Qi country! Tian Qi stood up with a solemn face and said in a deep voice.

When Tian Chang heard this, he didn't say anything, and even ran out with a rolling belt, and this time he didn't wear shoes, "Oh! For! For! He ran out and arranged the carriage. It's also a shame that the corridors of Tianfu are paved with wooden planks and smooth stone slabs, otherwise Tian Chang's pampered feet don't know what will become.

Seeing this, some people may be surprised, Ailing is the source of Zishui, what is the big deal? After saying the name of the capital of Qi, everyone may know. The capital of Qi is called Linzi, everyone can see the clues from here, right? As the name suggests, Linzi is a place close to 'Zi', and this 'Zi' everyone guessed correctly, it is Zishui.

Zishui is not a big river, from the source of Zishui in Ailing to Linzi, the distance between is only about 120 miles. Even if the size of the army of 70,000 or 80,000 is huge, the marching speed is a little slower. Breaking the calculation, this is only two days of marching time at most. Of course, this is also a situation of ignoring long-distance passes and interceptions by large armies. But it also shows how serious the crisis is in Qi now.

When Qi Mourning first heard that Tian Qi came to him late at night, he was reluctant to come out of the beauty country. However, since Ji Ji was forgiven by Qi Mourning Gong for the matter of communicating with her uncle (female gan), people have been a lot more cautious. Seeing that Qi Mourning Gong was unwilling, he persuaded Qi Mourning Gong and said: "Lord, Xiangguo was already ill, and he usually didn't go out of the mansion, but now he not only came out, but also came to see the Lord late at night, I'm afraid something big will happen!" ”

When Qi Mourning Gong heard this, he woke up and said, "Thanks to Mrs. for reminding me! ”

Ji Ji was also angry with Qi Mourning Gong afterwards because of this incident. After all, this time the Qi State was defeated, and his brother Ji Kangzi made a lot of effort in it. Moreover, there were courtiers who asked Qi Mourning Gong to abolish Ji Ji, who had always been indecisive, and also vetoed these suggestions with a tough attitude.

Speaking of Qi Mourning Gong, seeing Tian Qi because of Ji Ji's reminder, he didn't complain that Tian Qi disturbed him late at night. asked: "I don't know what happened when Xiangguo asked to see him late at night?" ”

Tian Qi couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart when did this guy become smart. However, as soon as he thought of the news of the annihilation of the entire Qi State, Tian Qi couldn't help but worry, and he couldn't care about these changes in Qi Mourning. The news of the annihilation of the Qi army in 1510 came out.

Frightened, Qi Mourning's face turned pale, and his lips trembled and said, "This ...... How good is this! How good! ”

ps: Today's word count is not much, but it can be regarded as a small explosion, 6,000 words! Now 12,000 words in debt. Ha ha! Anyway, there has been progress!

(To be continued)
