The more intense the evening wind, the more blizzard is coming. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Qi received a New Year's gift from Wei - Gaotang. It's just that this gift is still in the hands of Zhao State at the moment, and Wei State will not be kind enough to lose its troops and take Gaotang and then transfer it to Qi State. The envoy of Wei said very simply, he was willing to send 20,000 troops to help Qi recapture the capital - Gaotang.

Wei Guo's simple words made Qi Guo commotion. For Gao Tang, Qi has been coveting it for a long time. However, since it was taken away by Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo has no intention of returning it. Qi Guo looked at Zhao Guo's thick arms, and then at his malnourished thin arms and legs, and wisely gave up his plan to recapture Gao Tang. But now that Wei has made it clear that he wants to help himself and recapture Gaotang is in sight, Qi is naturally excited.

The ministers were divided into two factions, one faction believed that the Zhao State had just defeated the Xiongnu in the north, and in the west it had united with the Qin State to fight with Han and Wei, and had no time to look eastward. It is the best time for Qi to recover Gaotang! This is a God-given opportunity, and if you don't accept it, you will be damned!

A small number of people were worried that this move would anger Zhao, and if Zhao would advance eastward and Wei would retreat, Qi would have to swallow the bitter fruit of his own brewing.

King Qi has long been fed up with the bullying of Zhao State, he used to be weak in strength, but now with the support of Han and Wei, if he doesn't revive his majesty, will the people of the world still take Qi State in their eyes? Especially in the Wei State, if the Qi State did not dare to attack the Gao Tang Dynasty because of the foresight, the Wei State would be very disappointed in itself. They can't tear their faces on the surface, but they can still do it if Zhao Guo bullies Qi Guo. What's more, it's just a small Gao Tang, King Qi doesn't think that Zhao Guoguo is crazy about this, and mobilizes an army to take revenge! For Qi State, the recovery of Gaotang is of far-reaching significance, which not only means the rise of Qi State, but also means that Qi State has made its position clear.

It's a great event that comes in hand, but has far-reaching significance. The king of Qi did not send Tian Dan, the pillar of the country, to lead the army to the battle, but personally led the army to the expedition despite the opposition of everyone. In the history of the Qi State, it is not without precedent for the king of a country to proclaim himself the chief general, but such precedents are often not good, such as the king of Qi. Defeated in the Battle of Jishui, he fled in the wilderness.

The persuasion of the ministers was defeated by the stubbornness of the king of Qi, and since the king of Qi recognized that he wanted to lead the troops to the battle, the ministers could only arrange the most elite soldiers and the most capable generals to escort them. Originally, with the cooperation of 20,000 Wei troops, 30,000 troops were enough to take Gaotang. But the king's expedition was not trivial, and the state of Qi recruited 100,000 troops in order to be foolproof. In the eyes of the ministers, with the 5,000 Zhao army of the Tang Dynasty, it should be a fool's dream to defeat the 120,000 Qi and Wei coalition armies. Even if it's really accidentally failed. With 100,000 meat shields, King Qi should be able to run back to Linzi. The ministers didn't want the King of Qi to become the first king to be defeated and captured on the battlefield since the Qi Kingdom!

After determining that Wei's 20,000-strong army had passed through Tao County and entered the territory of Qi, the king of Qi could not wait to order to speed up the preparation of grain and grass. King Qi, who had a little common sense in using troops, was very excited about his first expedition with his troops, and he set the place where the army was gathered along the line from Linzi to Gaotang. In order to prevent Zhao Guo's detailed work from being known, he deliberately announced in advance that he would hunt in order to sue the temple and Sheji to cover up the fact that he was no longer in Linzi.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, taking advantage of the cover of night, the king of Qi led 30,000 elites to set off from Linzi first. When the ministers found out that the king of Qi was no longer in Linzi the next morning, the king of Qi was already thirty miles west of Linzi. In order to rush as much as possible. The king of Qi even abandoned his beloved carriage and rode forward.

The king of Qi, who teased the ministers, rushed out of Linzi, only to feel that the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped. But the initial excitement was quickly consumed by the fatigue of the journey, and King Qi, who neglected to exercise, only felt that his body was about to collapse by tossing, and he only drove forty miles. The king of Qi ordered to stop and rest.

"Your Majesty! The minion will rub it for you! The eunuch on the side couldn't take care of himself and was tired enough, and said flatteringly.

King Qi was in too much of a hurry to leave the palace this time, and he didn't bring his maidservants at all, or King Qi was leading by example, and felt that it would be unseemly to lead the army to go out and bring "soft fragrant nephrite". This leads to the fact that when King Qi is sore and has a sore back now, there is no servant girl by his side!

King Qi's expression perked up slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Quick!" Fast! Fast! Tired of the widow! As he spoke, he touched his shoulder and groaned.

"Hey!" The eunuch order immediately flashed behind King Qi and kneaded it carefully.

"That's right! Yes, there is! Give the widow a good rub! Your benefits are indispensable! King Qi's brows gradually stretched, and he said vaguely.

"Your Majesty!" A voice added. King Qi's eyes opened and he saw Tian Heng, the deputy general who was saluting him, and he was also a rare general in the clan.

King Qi nodded, signaling that he had heard. Tian Hengfang continued: "Your Majesty! The army hasn't had breakfast yet, has it informed the baggage battalion to bury the pot to cook? ”

Only then did King Qi realize that he had specially added food before leaving. But those soldiers were woken up by their own orders in their sleep, and they ran for half the night, where would they eat! The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first! If you don't eat again, whether the hungry army will obey the order, King Qi doesn't want to try. King Qi couldn't help but rejoice that his lieutenant actually remembered to bring the baggage battalion in the middle of the night, otherwise he would be the king of a country and make his army hungry!

"Of course! Inform down! Extra meals! King Qi, who was a little reluctant to go, commanded.

"Whoa!" Tian Heng nodded and said.

Seeing that Tian Heng had no intention of leaving, King Qi asked strangely, "What?" Anything else? ”

Tian Heng said respectfully: "How long after the meal does the army set off, do you want to set up camp here or continue to march?" ”

King Qi was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What does Vice General Tian mean?" "Actually, King Qi secretly slandered himself in his heart, shouldn't this kind of thing be arranged by the vice president? As the main general, he only needs to give orders, and when he encounters the enemy, he raises his sword and waves, and tens of thousands of troops will crush the enemy in front of him! Then return to Linzi with victory and show off his might, so that the people of Qi know that not only Tiandan can win the battle, but also his own king!

"The last general thinks that it is enough to set off again in an hour and a half, and then set up camp after catching up with the road of thirty or forty miles! After all, we are not in a hurry in this war! We have to wait for the Wei army to converge! Tian Heng pondered his tone and said. According to King Qi's whimsical thinking. I don't know where to point the army! Tian Heng still plans to take advantage of the kung fu on the road to sharpen the army, and wait for the follow-up army to gather and command!

King Qi frowned and said, "Okay! As Vice Admiral Yitian said! Go down and command. ”

"Whoa!" Tian Heng noticed King Qi's displeasure and cautiously retreated.

As soon as Tian Heng left, the eunuch Ling pretended to be casual and said, "Your Majesty! Why don't you find a carriage for you? Vice General Tian said that he still had to travel thirty or forty miles! The minions are afraid of bumpy roads! Horseback riding is too tiring after all! ”

After hearing this, King Qi nodded with satisfaction, and his face was puzzled: "Is this inappropriate?" After all, the widow's current identity is the main general. The general is the soul of the army, if you let the soldiers know, it is inevitable that the army's heart will fluctuate! The widow is determined to win Gao Tang this time! ”

The eunuch Ling saw that the king of Qi had already moved, but he couldn't wipe off his face. As a minion, it is natural to give the master a step down at this time. Therefore, the eunuch Ling said loyally: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! The king's willingness to surrender to the noble and trek through mountains and rivers to attack Gaotang with the soldiers is a great encouragement to the soldiers of the whole army! Now the king is still unwilling to return to Linzi to recuperate, but never abandon the army. This is enough to move the heavens and the earth! Why is it better for the king to announce that those who wait for Gao Tang City first will be rewarded with a thousand gold and a hundred acres of land? ”

King Qi smiled, stroked his palms and said, "Not bad!" Not bad! Qing is really the humerus of the country! Get the news on now! The widow has always been generous to those who are loyal to the widow and the country of Qi! ”

"Whoa! The slave will prepare a carriage for the king! "The eunuch Ling bent over and walked down in a hurry!

Hedong County, Fengling.

The red banner of "Wei" fluttered fiercely in the whistling northwest wind, standing tall. The black banner of "Qin" on the opposite side is also standing firmly. More than a dozen burly Qin soldiers guarded the banner of the Chinese army, and the flag was in the people. The flag fell and the people died. The Qin people have never had the tradition of abandoning their battle flags, as long as one person stands, he must charge with the banner. Compared with the blood-red banner of the Wei State, the black banner of the Qin people is more like a result of too much blood precipitation. There is the blood of the Qin people themselves, as well as the blood of the enemy!

The rumbling drums of war were beaten, and the two armies began to line up. In the opinion of Wei State. The State of Qin is undoubtedly a big one. In the face of Wei's 50,000 troops, Fengling, who only had 20,000 Qin divisions garrison, actually dared to open the door to meet the enemy. It is undeniable that the Qin army still has 30,000 Zhao allies ready to move thirty miles away, but the Wei army also has 50,000 Han troops closely guarding the Wei army's flank. If you count the garrisons left behind in Fengling, the strength ratio of Qin and Wei is close to 1:3. The state of Qin clearly did not have the upper hand. But he dared to give up the advantage of the city wall and fought in the field with the Wei army. Wei Jun only felt that he had been humiliated! The combat strength of the Wei army is inferior to that of the Qin army, but it has not fallen into a situation where three of them can't beat one!

Huan Qi stared at the Wei army formation three hundred steps away on the opposite side, and waved his hand firmly. The herald behind him waved the military flag at the first time, and the Qin army, which had long been eager to try, immediately ran quickly. The phalanx composed of five thousand Qin troops formed a long cone, and under the cover of the rain of arrows of the archers behind them, they took the initiative to charge!

"The Qin army actually dares to charge!!" The Wei army's chief general, Jin, couldn't help but look cold. When the Qin army was obviously at a disadvantage in numbers, it actually took the lead in charging! This undoubtedly disrupted the rhythm of Jin Contempt. In Jin Contempt's opinion, the Qin army is at a disadvantage, and the best way is to rely on strict defense to wear down their fighting spirit! Take advantage of your own loopholes and mistakes in defense to fight back! But now the Qin army has given up defense and has chosen to attack riskily! Is this the rhythm of life after death? It's not that easy to defeat my morale and penetrate my phalanx?!

Jin Wei, who hesitated slightly, was worried that if he immediately launched a-for-tat counter-charge, it would disrupt the formation he had arranged. When the time comes, the numerical superiority of the Wei army will be greatly discounted. What Jin Contempt needs is a big victory, not a victory in chaos, especially in front of the storm kite! So Jin Contempt ordered the whole army to stay still! After three rounds of arrows, the archers retreated to the back of the phalanx, and turned to pikemen and shield men to meet the first round of the Qin army's charge!

Jin Contempt believed that with his thick military array, he could slowly consume the five thousand Qin army! However, in order to attract more Qin troops to take risks, he had to give them hope, and Jin had already decided to create a false impression that the Wei army was not in good combat strength and barely trapped the Qin army. Such. Only then will the Qin army be willing to invest in the remaining three phalanxes, and only then can they inflict heavy damage or even annihilate nearly 20,000 Qin troops!

Soon, the assault phalanx of the Qin army smashed into the first phalanx of the Wei army, and with the momentum and thick armor, most of the soldiers in the first two rows of the Wei army were immediately knocked to the ground, of course. The Qin army who hit the head was also uncomfortable, and the Qin army who couldn't hold back was pierced into a "human flesh skewer", and was lucky to die painfully directly into the heart, and if he was unlucky, he would watch himself die step by step. In this chaotic battlefield, to fall means to be reduced to flesh. What everyone can rely on is the robe around them, and the only thing they can trust is the robe around them, after all, a person's energy is limited, and he can only deal with the enemies who rush in front of him!

The storm kite watched the battle between the Qin army and the Wei army not far away, as for the Zhao army not far away. Scouts and military assistants who have their own special arrangements are staring.

The adjutant general pointed to the retreating Wei army and said disappreciatively: "General! Why don't you bring someone over to help Wei Jun? A 10,000-strong array was pierced by the 5,000 Qin army so quickly, and the combat power of the Wei army was only like that! ”

In just half an hour, the five thousand Qin troops of the cone-shaped assault chiseled through the first 10,000-person array of the Qin army, and the second 10,000-person array also chiseled through almost half! Although the Qin army died close to two thousand people in the battle! But compared to the huge results, such losses are somewhat negligible. You must know that if you try harder, the Qin army will face the third phalanx. That is, the Chinese army where Jin is located!

Storm Kite waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wei Jun definitely didn't expect it. The Qin army actually put two thousand heavy infantry into it with such blood. At the beginning, Jin Contempt lured the enemy into the deep strategy, and he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss. The combat power of the heavy infantry is already good, and the Wei army deliberately released water, and the current situation is already good. Don't you see, though? The Wei army is now consciously cutting off the conical waist of the Qin army, and the Qin army's 1,000 light infantry and 2,000 heavy infantry are already a little disjointed! If Qin Jun doesn't make some moves, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss. But. Wei Jun will have to pay a lot of money if he wants to eat it! ”

After a pause, the storm kite pointed to the Zhao Jun Iron Cavalry in the west and said, "The current situation can be said to affect the whole body!" Believe it or not, as long as we send a cavalry to reinforce it, the Zhao army on the opposite side will definitely be launched! Although we have an army of 50,000, we have only 10,000 cavalry. Opposite. Of the 30,000 Zhao troops on the opposite side, 20,000 were cavalry, and you don't know the consequences of cavalry on infantry. ”

In fact, the violent kite sighed secretly, and before leaving, Han Wangran repeatedly explained that this time he led the troops to the expedition, and his most important task was to contain the 30,000 army of Zhao State. As long as Zhao does not send troops to attack the 100,000 allied troops of Korea and Wei, he should not act rashly. Let Qin and Wei fight for consumption! Of course, if the Wei State is about to be defeated, he must do his best to save the Wei army. Therefore, the war between Han and Zhao is naturally not among them!

This is not to say that South Korea is afraid of Zhao Guo, but that it has not torn its face with Zhao Guo, and it is good for both parties after all! If Wei had such an advantage and could not win against Qin, Korea would only be able to help Wei to a limited extent. At present, the importance of Wei, an ally, to South Korea is by no means comparable to that of Zhao.

The adjutant general sighed in disappointment after hearing this, glanced enviously at the battlefield where Qin and Wei were fighting, and shouted, "General! The Qin army moved! ”

Yes, the Qin army moved!

After giving the Wei army a dismount, Huan Qi piled up the second phalanx of 5,000 people under his command, looking like he was trying to take advantage of the slight confusion in the Wei army and slash Jin in one fell swoop. At the same time, five hundred Qin cavalry circled the two flanks of the Wei army, constantly firing arrows, hoping to create even greater chaos.

The Wei army was a little chaotic, perhaps to frighten the heavy infantry of the Qin army, and when Jin contempt realized that the Qin army was very likely to penetrate the second phalanx and engage his own Chinese army. Jin Qian ordered the position of the fourth phalanx behind him to advance to protect his Chinese army. Even if this position exchange work had been rehearsed before, it was a little messy under the aggressive offensive of the Qin army. That is, taking advantage of this effort, the Qin army invested the second phalanx of 5,000 people.

Jin was not afraid of death, but hoped that the three thick 10,000-strong arrays could inflict heavy losses on the Qin army with ease, and when the time came, the Chinese army under his command could easily defeat the Qin army and harvest the head of the Qin army's main general, Huan Qi. After all, it would be a heavy honor to behead the enemy army in battle! Such glory is best to belong to yourself!

Hua Feng, the two or five hundred main masters of the heavy infantry battalion who was constantly asking for help from the Chinese army, couldn't help but shout excitedly when he found that reinforcements were coming: "Brothers! Reinforcements are coming! Let's kill it! ”

"Wind! Wind! Wind! Gale! The heavy infantry of the Qin army, who was heavy in his body, only felt that a force had been added to his body, and his wrist, which was originally trembling tiredly, could actually hold the weapon without moving. Because of the continuous cutting, there was a gap in the sword in his hand, and the Qin army, who realized this problem, simply slashed down the Wei army on the opposite side with a sword, while snatching the weapon in the hand of the Wei army. Or a sword or a halberd or a sword or a shield, all the weapons that can be used are used! became the god of death who plundered the lives of the Wei army!

The pressure on the Wei army increased, but they were encouraged by the steady drumbeat of the Chinese army, and more and more Wei troops began to retreat on their own initiative, allowing the Qin reinforcements to converge with the remaining half of the Qin army. After they converged, a tighter encirclement had gradually formed! (To be continued......)
