Chapter 19 of the middle volume **Killing Star
Yao Hong was angry.
All kinds of intelligence are summed up, and it can finally be determined that the Jin army on the way to Wuguan has killed four or five thousand people. The reason why tens of thousands of people were left before was that the opponent bluffed along the way and used a lot of tricks to make something out of nothing; Second, the defenders along the line collapsed without a fight, artificially amplifying the illusion that the Jin army was overwhelming. Now that the situation is clear, the oppression of Yao Hong's 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers is like hitting an egg with a stone, and there is no reason not to smash them. This is where Yao Hong is happy.
But when he thought of the thousands of people in this mere area, it actually made the whole country of Great Qin uneasy, and the southeast corner was boiling in the sky, and the emperor risked the emptiness of Guanzhong to leave the center and personally come to extinguish the fire, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry. Yao Hong thought of what Zhong Like said before leaving, and admired the old scholar's vision, but also hated himself for being stubborn and self-serving, and became more and more angry.
This evil fire can only be poured on the current Jin army.
Yao Hedu also felt shameless. The dignified royal family relatives, guarding the Xiongguan, holding elite soldiers, in front of the heavy responsibilities, actually did not have the ability to find out the real strength of the enemy, let a small group of thieves invade the southeast, stirring the sky dark, alarming the emperor's majesty! The ancients said that the lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and now Yao Hong is so anxious that Cheng DΓΉ, they, the civil and military masters, really deserve to die of shame. Thinking that two days ago, I was still talking in front of His Majesty about sticking to the war, saying that the enemy and I were on equal footing, and I really wanted to find a crooked neck tree and hang myself.
Shame is shame, annoyance is annoyance, knowing that the enemy is small in number is a good thing after all.
Those who had been hesitant to wait and see immediately actively sought to fight.
Since there are only a few thousand people in the southern barbarians, let's hurry out and swallow them up quickly.
Only a few soldiers are needed to guard the gate, and the 40,000 troops will be dispatched.
The Great Qin State needs a victory too much.
Even if it's a victory to kill a chicken.
It has been reconnoitred that the Jin army has advanced to the area of Qingniling, less than twenty miles away from the city of Yaoguan. There are large mountains and deep ravines, and the only flat land that can accommodate the confrontation between the two armies happens to be the camp of the Jin army.
Yao Hong raised his head from the map and looked at the glittering eyes of the generals:
"Although the Jin army is small in number, it must not be a good kind to dare to venture to such a far place alone. This battle must be won steadily and completely, and not a single Jin soldier can be allowed to escape from the green mud. The camp of the Jin army is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road in front and back, which is equivalent to getting into God's pocket. What we have to do is to tie our pockets tightly, block up all the mountain passes and valleys, and seal them firmly in this dead land. β
The Qin army moved overnight, crossing mountains and mountains, interspersing in a roundabout way, and using a solid encirclement to trap the Jin army in the heavy mountains of Qingniling. At least on Yao Hong's latest picture of friend and foe, this enemy is already a turtle in an urn.
Now, the guards helped Yao Hong and let him stand on the roof of the car.
He originally intended to ride a horse, but Yao He said that riding a horse was not only unstable, but also confused with the generals, and the prestige of the emperor's personal expedition was missing. What we want is your treasure car shining golden in the sun, and the umbrella cover stands out from the crowd.
It's a pity that the treasure car can't shine brightly. It's a very cloudy day, dark clouds are gathering, and it looks like it's going to rain.
On the miserable battlefield, the Jin army camp that appeared in front of Yao Hong looked pitifully small.
It seems to be weird too.
After a closer look, I finally understood what was strange.
The armies of the world are camped, and they all hide the grain, grass and military resources in the safest place in the camp, but this Jin army has piled up grain pockets and large piles of weapons, armor, and flags outside the camp fence, as if it is inconvenient for the enemy to rob the grain. These things form a thick low wall, which encloses the camp on three sides, leaving only the side facing the pass.
What is this rule?
Yao Hong's mind turned for a long time, and he felt that the only reasonable explanation was that the Jin army judged that the shape was unfavorable, and felt that he could not stay here, and planned to give up the baggage and light troops and retreat.
But it is understandable to withdraw troops and leave food and grass, and it is too incomprehensible not to even have so many long lances.
Besides, if it was to retreat, the camp should be very busy and noisy at the moment, and it would not be so quiet.
From his height, it looked like an empty camp.
No one moved, not even the watchtower.
Yao Hong watched for a long time, got out of the car, and called Yao He over.
"Leopard, you tell everyone to move forward, shrink the encirclement to two hundred paces away from the enemy camp."
Yao He was ordered to go. Suddenly, the horn sounded. A wooden platform was erected high on the command cart of the Chinese army, and the captain of the flag division stood on it, waving two small red flags according to the order of the commander-in-chief. This was followed by a dense drum beat.
Yao Hong had never seen the dispatch of the three armed forces on the battlefield before, and at this moment he suddenly understood why so many people were obsessed with being a troop officer.
In response to the sound of flags and drums, the footsteps of more than 40,000 people rang out from the east, west, north and south, no, in fact, there was only one footfoot. More than 40,000 pairs of feet stepped out of the steps of the giant spirit god, thunder echoed in the air, smoke and dust rose in the middle of the sky, and the earth trembled slightly.
The captain of the flag danced the small flag like a cloud.
More than 40,000 dantian qi lifting, more than 40,000 mouth strength, more than 40,000 chest resonance, Yao Hong heard the most passionate tribute he had ever heard in his life:
"Long live Great Qin! Long live the Emperor! β
Captain Siqi raised the two small flags in the air, crossed them above his head, and then quickly and decisively waved them down, pointing directly at the ground at his sides.
The wind and clouds surged, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked:
"Kill!"
Yao Hong was amazed. In the past, he read Sima Qian's "Historical Records", and when he saw Zhao Hao's defeat of the Qin army, the book said that the Qin army was noisy, and the "roof tiles were all vibrating" in Wu'an City, and he had always suspected that Taishi Gong's writing was exaggerated. It is not conceivable that human voices can be the same as thunder and earthquakes. Today, I was immersed in the scene, and finally understood that "the roof tiles are vibrating" is not excessive, because the car under his feet is shaking gently.
In the blink of an eye, the encirclement had been reduced to two hundred steps away from the Jin army's camp.
The army of more than 40,000 people, like more than 40,000 marionettes, was controlled by an invisible hand, and after reaching the designated position, it suddenly stopped. There was an instant silence on the battlefield, as if the force that had just made a loud noise did not exist at all.
The strong enemy pressed to this distance, and the Jin army should have reacted.
At least there should be people on the fence, the cavalry should be on horseback, the infantry should be in formation, and the archers should be on guard against the enemy breaking into the camp.
No!
None of these!
The Jin camp was still as silent as death.
Yao Hong once again ordered the encirclement to be narrowed and stopped at a hundred steps in front of the enemy. Yao He hesitated. He felt that at this distance, it would be difficult for the archers and cavalry of the Qin army to play a role. But after thinking about it, 40,000 people surrounded 5 or 6,000 people, even if they squeezed forward with a long lance formation and lined up with horses' hooves to trample on it, they could squeeze the Jin army into a bloody sieve and trample into a meatloaf all over the ground. The emperor has a rare opportunity to taste the thrill of wielding his army to annihilate the enemy, so why bother with him?
The Qin Saber Mountain Spear Woodland pushed forward, like a group of hedgehogs slowly approaching an apple that had fallen to the ground when it was ripe.
After the three armies stopped, Yao Hong sent a Yulin cavalry officer to shout in front of the camp.
The officer rode up to the enemy camp and shouted:
"The soldiers of the Jin army heard clearly, you have been surrounded, and you are dead. I, Emperor of Great Qin, have mercy and forgiveness, and I can't bear to see you die without a place to be buried. Give you time to think about the three drums, if you lay down your arms and surrender out of the camp to serve Daqin, the generals will retain their original ranks, and the soldiers will be rewarded with thousands of dollars each. If you resist, you will kill them all, and there will be no armor left! β
After shouting three times in a row, the first drum sounded.
Yao Hong held his breath, expecting that the Jin army would come out with a white flag.
No, not a single white thread.
Second drum pass.
Across the street was still a dead camp.
Yao Hong felt that his face was hot. If the Jin army does not surrender, it is equivalent to spitting in his face.
The third drum fell, and Yao Hong was just about to signal Yao Hedu to make a move, when the Jin camp suddenly moved.
From behind a tent, slowly turn out and ride one person.
The Qin army was surprised to find that there were Xianbei people in the Jin army!
You can't go wrong. Rope head! The Jin army would never have such a hairstyle that angered the ancestors and ancestors!
This person was wearing his upper body, and while letting the horses walk slowly, he held a wine jug and drank wine. After walking out of the camp gate, he hung the flask back on his waist and looked around in a drunken daze. After seeing Yao Hong's car, he waved in this direction and said a word in Xianbei language. Yao Hong roughly understood that what he meant was that if you wanted to drink, you should come along.
And then.
And then I went back.
Yao Hong turned around to look at Yao Hedu and found that he was also looking at himself. None of them understood why the Xianbei people were in the Jin military camp. Great Wei and Great Qin may be enemies in the future, but at least they are allies in the present. In order to hold Liu Yu on the Yellow River, Tuoba lost thousands of elites. Just a few days ago, I wrote to ask if I wanted the Wei army to assist in the defense of Chang'an.
Great Wei could never help the Jin army.
But what is this Xianbei person in front of him doing?
Are there more Xianbei people in the camp?
As if to answer Yao Hong's question, a column of tents near the gate of the Jin army camp was suddenly lifted, revealing the cavalry inside.
Xianbei cavalry!
At least hundreds!
All of them had their upper bodies, with a braid hanging from their bare heads on all sides, and everyone carried a scimitar and a bow on their backs. They came out of the camp and took up battle before the camp. The Xianbei man who was drinking just now was obviously the leader, and he crossed the front of the formation crookedly, and gave orders in Xianbei words.
Whispering was strictly forbidden in the military formation, but Yao Hong could feel that every soldier around him was whispering in his heart, and it was also cowardly. The Xianbei cavalry, the best in the world, not only dealt with the southerners with stones, but also was invincible in the northern group. In the past, Fu Jian was in power, although he did not say it explicitly, but he always used the Xianbei army as the first-class main force, and the Qiang soldiers were ranked behind. Now seeing that there are Xianbei knights in the Jin army, the "Xianbei phobia" hidden in the hearts of every Qiang person is sprouting.
But after thinking about it, less than 100 Xianbei people can still turn the sky?
I was about to send someone to show righteousness to these Xianbei people, and saw that all the Xianbei knights took off their bows.
Yao He shouted, and four or five Yulin cavalry guards immediately blocked Yao Hong tightly.
The soldiers in the front row of the Qin army immediately raised their shields.
But the Xianbei people didn't seem to want to shoot arrows at the Qin soldiers. A Jin soldier ran out from behind, holding a torch in broad daylight. As he passed, each of the Xianbei knights had a rocket mounted on their bows. The Xianbei leader gave an order, and they fired arrows to the left, right, and rear at the same time.
Qin Jun stared blankly at his opponent's strange behavior.
There was silence on the battlefield.
With a bang, the silence was broken.
The rockets landed on the food and armor that surrounded the camp on three sides. The Jin army obviously put a lot of grease saltpeter and the like on these things, and the moment they fell the rocket, the flames immediately rose into the air, and the black smoke went up, and the soldiers of the Qin army who followed the direction of the wind quickly smelled the smell of burning grain and the stench of leather ignition, and the nearest soldiers had been forced by the thick smoke, and they instinctively retreated without waiting for the general's order, and the originally majestic and strict military formation swept through a circle of small chaotic ripples.
The camp of the Jin army was surrounded by a violently burning box, leaving only an exit towards the central army of the Qin state.
Yao He suddenly understood: although the Qin army had surrounded the Jin army on all sides, this burning huge isolation belt made it impossible for the Qin army on three sides to attack directly, so the Jin army did not have the pressure of its back and flanks, and could fight all the way to the Qin army in front, that is, to the emperor's location. Now the army is crammed into a small encirclement, and if you want to bypass the fire and attack the Jin army's flank, you will fall into chaos. It looks like tens of thousands of attacks are thousands, to one out of ten, but at least on the front, this disparity has been greatly reduced.
There was no time to ask Yao Hong for instructions, he was about to order the Chinese army to turn back and retreat two hundred paces rapidly, when the archers were ready, when he heard a landslide-like cry from the Jin camp.
The Xianbei knight galloped angrily, releasing arrows as he ran.
Behind them came a torrent of nakedness.
The Jin army had no clothes except fig cloths and combat boots. There was not a single long weapon in the whole army, and everyone wielded a long sword, a scimitar, a mace, and a mallet. The Xianbei people on their horses did not have a chance to put more arrows, they threw away their bows and arrows, drew their swords, and swung them above their heads.
There are no long weapons.
There is no armor.
There are no bows and arrows.
There is no phalanx.
There is not the slightest thought of going back alive.
This ** killing star, who had nothing to do but desperately, had now rushed to the stunned Qin army's array, with the speed and potential energy of the attack.
The Qin army, which was gathered in a group and waited to pick the fruits of victory, did not even have time to produce the impact force.
The supposed attacker was suddenly thrown into a defensive position.
It's summer.
But Yao Hong felt that the blood in his whole body was going to freeze.
