Chapter Three: The Fierce Battle (II)

Sima Shang looked at the Qin army, who was killing more and more, and shouted angrily to the herald beside him: "Raise the flag!" Ask Shinhei-kun for help! ”

The herald shook his head and raised the banner, which flew in the wind. The Qin army immediately discovered the abnormality of the Zhao army, and also knew that this was mostly a signal for help, and immediately an archer shot the herald to death.

"Kill!" The Zhao army, who witnessed the tragic death of Paoze, immediately returned to color, and the archers of the Qin army, who had just been triumphant, fell to the ground. The two sides come and go, blood for blood, and life for life.

Sima Shang slashed over a Qin army that rushed to the front with a sword, and took advantage of the situation to snatch the spear in the opponent's hand, and waved his right arm vigorously. After the spear flew in the air for more than ten steps, it first pierced into the chest of a Qin army commander, and then nailed two Qin soldiers one after another before it stopped.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sima Shang took over the banner and held it high. The surrounding guards raised a large shield that was one person high, and surrounded Sima Shang in the center, struggling to support him.

"General! The two wings of the Qin army were a little slack! The adjutant next to him reminded him for the first time.

Lian Po nodded, this time he invited Bai Qitang to fight, and each side brought 50,000 troops. The troops sent by their own side were all Zhao troops, and the two countries of Yan and Qi each brought more than 1,000 troops to watch the battle. If you want to take advantage of this, you can stop in moderation! After establishing his authority, he was able to mobilize the Yanqi army like an arm. In any case, he couldn't accept the disadvantage of retreating as soon as he encountered the Qin army.

"Pass the order! Su Shot and Wang Rong led the troops to attack! Lian Po said calmly.

The rumbling war drums resounded throughout the four fields, Su Jie and Wang Rong shouted angrily, one left and one right, and ran towards the Qin army that was besieging Sima Shang's army! The rain of arrows from both sides rained down one after another, some of them sparkling in the air and falling weakly, while others fell viciously and rapidly. Take away a piece of life!

At this time, the Qin army was busy besieging and killing Sima Shang's army trapped in the formation, and the two wings were in a gap period, and there was no connection between the front and back. Zhao Jun took advantage of this opportunity to resolutely kill him, and loaded into the Qin army array, and the Qin army array suddenly became even more loose.

Bai Qi smiled coldly, Lian Po's vision of grasping the fighter is very good. Now Qin and Zhao, who are in the big war, have 30,000 each. There were also 20,000 troops on each side that did not move. Bai Qi didn't plan to invest in his hole cards so early. He firmly believes that with the execution ability of the Qin army, he will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety and turn the danger into a disaster.

"Herald! Let Zhao Jun in! Bai Qi said in an unquestioning tone.

The banner of the Qin army was waved, and the strict discipline played a role at this moment, and although the Qin army was still at a disadvantage, it methodically gave way to a road. Zhao Jun couldn't help but burst into it along the road, and they were greeted by the sharp arrows of the Qin army. However, Zhao Jun would not let the Qin army rage like this. The Zhao army on both wings counterattacked the Qin army that was retreating step by step, and the Zhao army at the head was shooting crossbow arrows while killing the Qin army who had no time to retreat on the spot.

Although Zhao Jun seems to be overwhelmed. But Su Jie and Wang Rong, who were in the formation, knew that due to the Qin army's active retreat, Zhao Jun's killing of the Qin army was actually limited, and there was a feeling of punching the air hard! The only advantage of this is that you can do your best to rescue Sima Shangbu.

Feeling that the killing cries of the friendly army were getting closer and closer, the hearts of Sima Shang's army were lifted, and the Qin army was using this extremely precious and extremely short time to besiege and kill the Zhao army Sima Shang's department to the fullest. Sima Shang's army also tried its best to resist, and the strength of the counterattack was higher and higher.

The sound of killing is endless, and the sound of drums is earth-shattering. The black and white colors gradually faded on this land, white as snow. Black as night, where the two colors meet, there is a touch of red, which is the color of blood.

Rong Yan and Tian Dan looked at the Qin and Zhao armies who were fighting fiercely with calm faces, but there were turbulent waves in their hearts. The bravery and tenacity of the Zhao army, and the cold-blooded and skillful of the Qin army. Under the same strength of the two of them, both the Yan army and the Qi army are unstoppable, twice as much, so they have a chance to win, but it is only six points.

"Maybe! At the moment, only the Strike Battalion can win! "This is Tian Dan's idea. There is no Five Kingdoms. With more than 200,000 elite skills in the country, the Qi State can compete with the Qin State. However, with the destruction of more than 200,000 elite fighters, it is difficult for the Qi State to regain its former glory.

Under the deliberate release of water by the Qin State, Su Shu and Wang Rong soon led a large army to converge with Sima Shang's army. The battle situation returned to a stalemate, and neither Lian Po nor Bai Qi dispatched the remaining 20,000 troops, as if they wanted to sit and wait to see the result of the battle between the two armies.

Wei State, Hedong County, the land of Yuban.

Wu County, which had no more than 800 soldiers, faced a Qin army of more than 4,000, and only resisted for half an hour before declaring its loss. The great disadvantage in strength was only one factor in the defeat of the Wei army, but it was not the main one. This land changed hands three times, and in comparison, the people were more accustomed to the rule of the Qin State, at least, the Qin State gave them the treatment of its citizens. And what about the state of Wei? Starting from Wu, all the Qin land obtained from each war was regarded as a tributary by the magnates of Wei State, and they were heavily taxed! If you don't let the people have a good time, the people will naturally not give you a good time. Therefore, when the Qin army came to attack the city, no one was willing to help the Wei army defend the city.

From Mianchi in the east to Anyi in the north, more than 8,000 horsemen of the Qin army galloped freely in Hedong County! When encountering large cities, the Qin army would demonstrate under the city, and small cities, the surrender of the Wei state, and the defeat of the defeated. The reason why the Wei army in Wu County did not dare to force the people to go to the city to defend the city was because in Yanshi City, such a practice was strongly resisted by the local people. The people, who had originally had high hopes, simply went out and opened the door to welcome the Qin army!

From the time the Qin army entered Hedong, the turmoil in Hedong has lasted for nearly half a month! Wei lost seven places in Yanshi City, Shimen Mountain, Wei City, Shaanxi County, Jiao County, Kunsai, and Mianchi, which was already a quarter of Hedong County. During this period, the main force of the Wei army also came out of Anyi, but after several ambushes, it could only retreat and retreat in Anyi.

The Qin army also thought about continuing to the east or to the north or even to the west, but to the east was South Korea's Qiang County (i.e., Xin'an), and the tight defense of Korea made it impossible for the Qin army to see a chance. To the south, it is Yiyang, an important town in South Korea, which is even more undesirable. To the north, it is South Korea's Wusui, and there is also South Korea's heavy defense, so during this period of time, the Qin army has been limited by troops, and can only deter Anyi and step up the transportation of grain and people.

Now the east of Hangu Pass is no longer a safe place to be impregnable. Therefore, the idea of the Qin State this time was to plunder the people and grain and grass as much as possible. Anyway, the population of Guanzhong is too small now, and the number of people in the land is the current situation in Guanzhong.

On a hillside, the main general Huan Qi looked at the great rivers and mountains in the distance, and sighed: "Magnificent mountains and rivers! Magnificent Hedong! Behind him were dozens of black-clad and black-armored guards.

Huan Qi was the general of Hangu Pass, who was good at reading military books and joined the army when he was an adult. It's been seven years now. Last year, due to the accumulation of military achievements, he was awarded the title of Hangu Pass Guard! Hangu Pass is the eastern barrier of the six kingdoms of Shandong, and the king of Qin is willing to hand over such an important fortress to Huan Qi to defend, which shows the trust of the king of Qin.

A few days ago, after it was determined that Anyi of the Six-Nation Alliance was a suspicious formation, Huan Qi brought a thousand Xiaorui and joined the original 8,000 Qin army. As for the guards of Hangu Pass, Huan Qi was handed over to the lieutenant general to guard. After half a month of fighting, although the Wei army had the advantage. But he was stunned and was beaten by the Qin army and did not dare to attack. Therefore, Huan Qi was very happy in his heart.

This time, Huan Qi only paid less than 2,000 people to annihilate more than 10,000 Wei troops, which can be described as a great victory. It's just that such a rare opportunity has repeatedly written to ask for an attack on Hedong and the restoration of the land east of the river, but he has been repeatedly ignored by the King of Qin. Huan Qi is also helpless about this. If you don't have enough troops, there's only so much you can do.

King Qin, their considerations are very clear. It is nothing more than to rely on Hedong to inflict heavy losses on the Wei reinforcements and hit the morale of the six countries. Hedong was turned upside down, and although Wei was the most restless, South Korea, Qi and Zhao, who were close at hand, should also feel the same way! Blindly moving forward to attack, if you take it, you can't hold it, but it's not good.

"But I'm not reconciled!" Huan Qi thought secretly.

If only there was a way to get the best of both worlds! In this way, you can not only ensure that the letter valley is not lost. It can also expand the territory and make great contributions! However, Huan Qi also knew that there were no more than one or two thousand troops on hand, so it could only be a thought!

At this time, a scout ran in front of Huan Qi. He saluted and said, "General! Checkmate! Good news! ”

Huan Qi was depressed about how King Qin did not agree to add troops in the direction of Hangu Pass, and was suddenly startled by the sound of the scout, and immediately shouted angrily: "What are you yelling about! I'm annoyed! ”

The scout, who was very familiar with his general's temper, knew in his heart that Huan Qi was actually not very angry, so he was not too afraid, but said in a general manner: "General! That's good news! ”

Huan Qi frowned and muttered, "Say it!" If it's not good news, you kid will go to Anyi City and screw off that county lieutenant's head! ”

"The king has promised to increase the general's troops!" The scout said excitedly.

"What? You repeat! Huan Qi looked incredulous. His request for more troops has been played no less than five times, and each time it is a stone sinking into the sea, why did King Qin suddenly agree!

"It's true! I heard that it was recommended by the prime minister! Now the fighting on the northern and southern fronts is very stale! Only the direction of Hangu Pass on the general's side is progressing most smoothly! So the king agreed to the general's request for more troops! ”

Huan Qi hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses have been added?" ”

The scout immediately replied, "Thirty thousand troops! The leader of the troops is General Li Yao! Estimated trip, arrive in 5 days! ”

"Good! Hahaha! God help me! Huan Qi smiled. He was worried that he could not open the situation without soldiers and horses at hand, so the king sent an army of 30,000 so intimately. With this army of 30,000, great things can be done!

Sinjeong, South Korea.

Duan Ganchong received high-standard treatment as soon as he came to South Korea, and Duan Ganchong, who was lingering in Xinzheng Entertainment's new industry, felt like he couldn't stop thinking about it! Fortunately, he also knew that playing for a day or two could be excused from communicating feelings, but after playing for three or five days, King Wei's ears were afraid that the voice of Yushi suing him would ring again.

On April 20, the third day of Duan Ganchong's arrival in Xinzheng, Duan Ganchong finally met Han Wangran and the three dukes and nine kings and ministers in the early court.

Duan Ganchong naturally realized that Taiwei Storm Kite and Wei Wei Li Mu and Lang Zhongling Meng Si were not there. Meng Xi led his troops to attack the pass, and Duan Ganchong knew it. In the past two days, Han Wangran released rumors that Taiwei Storm Kite and Wei Wei Li Mu had gone to Sanchuan County to prepare for the war to prevent the Qin State from entering Qin. Therefore, Duan Ganchong was not surprised that he did not see Storm Kite and Li Mu at today's court meeting.

After saluting, Duan Ganchong opened his mouth and said under the curious or expectant or indifferent eyes of the Korean monarchs and ministers: "Minister, Duan Ganchong, the senior doctor of the Wei Kingdom, I would like to greet the king on behalf of my king!" May the king be blessed and healthy! May the friendship between the two countries last forever! ”

Han Wangran smiled and replied gently: "The widow also misses King Wei very much!" Wei Wang Yi qiē An is good! ”

Duan Ganchong replied without humility or arrogance: "One qiē is fine! On behalf of my king, thank you for the king's concern! ”

After some kind words without nutrition, Duan Ganchong finally explained his intention. Said: "Your Majesty! This time the minister came on behalf of my king, but there is a great benefit to be given to the king! I wonder if the king is willing to accept it? ”

Han Wangran smiled indifferently and replied, "Oh? If it is really a great benefit, as Mr. said, the widow is naturally willing to give it a try! How about sir, tell the widow first? ”

Duan Ganchong immediately said eloquently: "Now. The Qin State has invaded my Hedong, and the king should know about it! ”

Han Wangran nodded and replied, "No one knows about this matter!" Qin State wolf ambition, now our six-nation coalition army is attacking Guanzhong, Qin State does not think of the way to resist, but instead uses military force, committing your country Hedong, it is really a belligerent to die! The reason why the widow sent Taiwei Tyrant Kite and Guard Captain Li Mu to Yiyang Town was because they were afraid that the Qin State would be crazy. Offend me Sanchuan! ”

"However", Han Wangran's tone changed, and he said with some concern: "The widow heard that the Qin army is rampant in Hedong!" It seems that the widowed Sanchuan will inevitably fight! If it weren't for the fact that the widows had stationed a large army in Wusui, Xin'an, and Yiyang! Maybe it was attacked by the Qin army a long time ago, alas! ”

Duan Ganchong's face changed, and he replied a little unnaturally: "The king doesn't have to worry, the Qin army is only 10,000!" I don't think I will attack your country's Sanchuan! ”

"Ten thousand?!" , Han Wangran pretended to be surprised and sighed: "How can this 10,000-strong army run rampant in Hedong County!" Could it be ......? ”

Duan Ganchong hurriedly nodded, and no longer gave Han Wangran the opportunity to ridicule the Wei State, even if it was a chance to "inadvertently ridicule" the Wei State. Duan Ganchong quickly said, "Your Majesty! The Qin army was only 10,000. My Wei country has 50,000 in Hedong! The reason why the repeated defeats are just to lure the enemy deeper! Only the Qin army was fooled. My king will share the great good of the king. Otherwise, my Wei State will be able to destroy this Qin army overnight! Why wait until now! ”

Han Wangran nodded thoughtfully, I am afraid that the benefit that Wei Guo wants to give him is not so easy to take advantage of. The accidental death of Wei Wen, the guard of Hedong County, pulled Wei down from the upper hand at once, and this was not at all what Duan Ganchong said to lure the enemy deep. Who would sacrifice a county guard to let the Qin army be fooled, unless he was stupid, he would not believe it. But. Listening to Duan Ganchong say that luring the enemy deeper, it is very likely that Wei's plan or goal is also Hangu Pass.

Sure enough, Duan Ganchong said confidently: "I, the Wei State, do not hesitate to pay such a big price, just to lure the main force of the Qin army to the east to send a letter to Guguan!" Now the Qin army is only stationed at Hangu Pass, about 30,000! This 10,000 is enough to capture small counties, but if you attack large cities, you will not have enough troops. Our Wei army showed weakness to the enemy. Under the greed of the Qin army, the commander of the Qin army is bound to be greedy for merit. At this time, if your country can cut off its way back! Hangu Pass is just a few thousand troops! I, Han and Wei work together, and the small Hangu Pass can be lowered! From now on, your country no longer has to worry about the Qin State going south from Hangu Pass to attack Sanchuan, wouldn't it be a great benefit? ”

King Han said secretly: "Sure enough! Unexpectedly, there are also capable people in Wei Guoli who can see this! It's just that Han Wangran didn't know that the capable person he was thinking about in his heart was actually the doctor in front of him who seemed to have little positive language left in the history books! In Han Wangran's opinion, the one who can put forward such a strategic opinion should be Wei Yu's father!

Wei Mi, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father served as a national lieutenant in Wei for three generations, and waited until Wei Mi switched to Qin due to family turmoil, and still served as a national lieutenant! Han Wangran also wanted to recruit Wei Yu's father, but such an obvious digging of the foot of the wall had a bad reputation! Moreover, the national lieutenant is also prominent. Wei Yu's father had no reason to go to Han Beiwei for this.

Although he understood in his heart that the benefit of Wei should be that he no longer worried about Qin's invasion of Korea through Hangu Pass, Han Wangran still pretended to be overjoyed and said: "Does King Wei mean that he wants to transfer Hangu Pass to the widowed Korea?" Sir, please rest assured, when the widowed South Korea takes Hangu Pass, it will not let the Qin army advance half a step eastward! ”

Duan Ganchong has the heart to cry, how can there be a self-asserted king like Han Wangran, even if he wants to agree, King Wei will not be! Duan Ganchong smiled embarrassedly and said, "The king said that he was laughing!" This Hanguguan was originally our Wei State's! It's just that it was seized by the Qin State! This time, my Wei State has invested so much blood, and it is imperative to win Hangu Pass! ”

Han Wangran sneered in his heart: "This world is still the Zhou royal family!" In this era of the jungle, whose fist is the last word! However, the widow didn't want Hangu Pass in the first place! The tree is a big move! Low profile! Keep a low profile! Just take it cheap! ”

But in order to strive for greater interests, Han Wangran pretended to be deflated and said listlessly: "That's it! That widow wants to cut off the retreat of the Qin army, and has to resist the Qin army that swears to fight back, and has to take a huge risk to storm Hangu Pass, just in exchange for a guarantee from your country? This is a bit unattainable, unattainable! ”

Duan Ganchong also knew that there was not enough interest to rest and impress the shrewd king in front of him, after all, in this treacherous era, tangible benefits were visible and tangible. In this regard, the monarchs and ministers of Wei State had already prepared, so Duan Ganchong said in a tempting tone (If you want to see what conditions Wei Guo offers, please see the next explanation, haha!) (To be continued......)
