Chapter 120: The Battle Begins in Hedong

Three days later, Hedong County, Wu County. When the 50,000 Han and Wei combined troops arrived in Wu County, the Qin army led by Wang Jian had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the dense military flags in the Qin camp, Jin said with a smile to the violent kite beside him: "Violent general, you see, there should be 20,000 people in this formation of the Qin army!" Even they know our whereabouts, this battle is not easy to fight. ”

Storm Kite shook his head and replied meaningfully: "General Jin said that since the Qin army dared to send a large army to intercept us at this time, it means that they are already short of troops on the battlefield on the Western Front, and can only take a defensive position. As long as we can contain this Qin army, the battle situation in Hedong will be beneficial to our Sanjin. Presumably, General Xin (note: that is, Xin Yuanyan) will not let go of such a good opportunity. ”

When the two armies met in Xin'an, the storm kite told the news that Jin and Korea had taken Nanyang County. After hearing this, Jin inevitably felt jealousy and indignation. You must know that when the Qin State invaded the Yewang of Korea, Zhao and Wei made great efforts. At present, the Zhao and Wei armies are trapped in Hedong, but South Korea only sent 10,000 troops to support, and the face is a little unreasonable.

The crown prince was also afraid that Zhao and Wei would have a dislike for Korea, so on the one hand, King Jian sent envoys to Handan and Daliang, indicating that Korea would attract the attention of the Qin army on the front line of Wuguan, so that the Qin army did not dare to use the main force, and on the other hand, he took on the important task of transporting grain and grass to Hedong, of course, after opening up the grain route. In order to consolidate the Sanjin Alliance.

"Hehe", Jin Contempt did not object to the words of the tyrannical kite, but said: "Since the Qin army already knows the news of the arrival of our army, and is still so fearless, presumably Xianyang is afraid that he has already expressed it." If the general's expectations are good, reinforcements from Xianyang should already be on the way. We need to watch out for the yellow finch behind us! ”

"Exactly!" Storm Kite nodded in agreement.

"It's getting late today, and I'm camping. Wait for tomorrow, Ben will try the Qin army's catties, how about the violent general sweep for our army when the time comes? Jin Jian said.

"I don't dare to quit if I want to."

"Okay, then pass on the general's order, and the whole army will retreat five miles back and camp." Jin said with disdain.

"Whoa!" The herald took the order and departed.

Soon, the Wei army halted its advance and set up camp fifteen miles east of Wu County. The Han army was close to the Wei army, and the gate of the village was facing the east, to guard against possible reinforcements from the Qin army.

In the Qin camp, Wang Jian put down the art of war in his hand and slowly walked out of the Chinese military tent. At this time, the entire Qin camp was full of busy figures, but they were busy but not chaotic, and orderly. Adjutant General Yang Duanhe was young and vigorous, and took the initiative to ask for battle: "General, the enemy army has come from afar and occupies a huge advantage, why don't you send the last general to attack the camp tonight and kill their prestige?" ”

Wang Jian thought about it, refused, and explained: "Storm Kite is a famous Korean general, experienced in a hundred battles, it is impossible to make such a small mistake. Let's save your strength and stay camped tomorrow! However, they came from afar, and the general could not help but express his heart. So, you send hundreds of people tonight just ...... do this."

Yang Duanhe's eyes widened, and he called out a clever plan, and then went with a smile.

The sun soon sets, and night follows. Except for the murmur of insects, there was no other sound in heaven and earth. Jin Contempt and Storm Kite waited patiently for the first half of the night, but unfortunately the Qin army did not have the slightest sign of attacking the camp. Eventually, the two slept peacefully after setting up enough secret posts outside the camp.

At the time of the child, except for the sergeants on duty, there was no trace of the activities of others in the entire Han and Wei battalions. The sergeants lowered their voices, chatted about trivial matters, and passed the long night. Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from the north side of the camp, accompanied by the sound of rushing and killing, and all kinds of strange howls, which suddenly broke the calm of the night.

The defenders, nervous, shouted the alarm for the attack on the camp. Suddenly, the entire northern camp of the coalition army was in a panic, and the soldiers hurriedly dressed and looked for weapons, trying to defend themselves against the danger from the darkness. But when the coalition forces lined up, the ghost screams outside stopped again. A lieutenant had the audacity to order dozens of soldiers to search north, but found nothing.

In desperation, the lieutenant could only order the soldiers to go back to rest. But whenever the coalition soldiers fell asleep dimly, they would always be woken up by the Qin army. The coalition army also thought about hiding and pretending to sleep, but the Qin army seemed to be an unpredictable prophet at this time, and never appeared. Several times, the coalition forces were overwhelmed.

Nanying, Dongying, and Xiying soon encountered such treatment. This military situation was quickly spread to the Chinese military tent, and both Storm Kite and Jin Cong smiled bitterly. The Qin army made it clear that he didn't want the coalition forces to sleep peacefully, and if you ignore such an attack, the other party might really fake it and make a night attack. If you wait for it, you will fall into the other party's trap again.

"General Tyrant, the Qin army is so annoying, what can you do?" Jin Wei frowned and asked unwillingly.

Storm Kite thought for a moment and replied, "I can't say a good strategy, but there is a stupid way." ”

"Let's hear it!" Jin said excitedly.

"The Qin army did this because it wanted to exhaust our army and thus affect tomorrow's battle. In the dark night, there is no distinction between the enemy and me, and it is easy to ambush, which is a taboo for the use of soldiers. However, at the moment, the Qin army is insufficient, and in my opinion, it can be calculated. ”

"Will it be calculated?" Jin asked suspiciously.

"Didn't Qin Jun want to exhaust us? We're just going to be fooled by him. However, they only have a few hundred to a thousand men outside the camp, and we can send a considerable number of men out to maneuver. The rest of the soldiers must rest in peace and pay no attention to the noise outside. If the main force of the Qin army is outside, it doesn't matter, there are thousands of soldiers to resist for a moment, which is enough for us to react and resist. Storm Kite patiently explained.

Jin Contempt thought about it for a while, and had to admit that this was a stupid way to see the tricks, but it worked. Anyway, if the lights are dark outside, send a large army to stir up the situation even more and win in the chaos. If the outside is really the main force of the Qin army, it can also be tempted. It's better than being at the mercy of people right now.

"Good! Then according to the opinion of the violent general. Jin Contempt made the final decision.

Soon, more than a thousand coalition soldiers disappeared from the darkness of the night. Although the Qin army also continued to harass, the coalition forces were no longer moved. However, their voices often attract coalition forces not far away, triggering bursts of fighting. The battle in the dark was completely a melee that did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and the two armies did not dare to stay too long, and they always dispersed at the first touch. But despite this, the Qin army also began to pay casualties. What's more, Qin's harassment has become ineffective. Seeing that he couldn't take advantage, the Qin army could only retreat decisively.

The next day, the morning sun rose, and smoke rose from the camps of both armies. Everyone was hurrying to enjoy the meal in front of them, knowing full well that it would not be long before a great war broke out. No one can guarantee that they will be able to enjoy their second meal of the day at sunset at the end of the war.
