Chapter XVII: The Response of the Three Kingdoms

When Zhao, Wei, and Han announced their alliance, the three kingdoms expected that Qin would not give up so easily. Therefore, the collection of information on Xianyang has been strengthened.

Sure enough, the embarrassed and angry Qin State really sent a large army to conquer the Three Kingdoms. For the Three Kingdoms, the only good news is that the killing god Bai Qi did not serve as the commander this time.

There is no way, at this time, Bai Qipo Chu is mighty. For the Six Kingdoms, Bai Qi plus the Qin State is basically equivalent to an unsolvable combination.

Although the commander has become the little-known Hu Yang, and the deputy general is also an unknown Wang Di, the huge pressure brought by the 100,000 Qin army still suffocates the atmosphere of Zhao, Han, and Wei.

What is the goal of the Qin army? Where will they attack?

No one would be naΓ―ve to think that the Qin State sent an army of 100,000 just for a day trip to the Central Plains.

The intelligence services of the three countries began to operate rapidly, and the only thing that can be determined is that the Qin army is targeting South Korea this time. As for whether the target is Shangdang or Xinzheng, more detailed information is limited by the strict system of the Qin State, and the Three Kingdoms are also at a loss.

South Korea is the first target of Qin, and as a concerned country, it is an emergency mobilization of the whole country. Under the orders of the high-level, all the scouts in the army scattered to the west, striving to grasp the movements of the Qin army as soon as possible.

As allies, Zhao and Wei naturally could not sit idly by. After urgent consultations, Zhao Guo hurriedly sent the general Lian Po personally to lead an army of 100,000 to rush to the Korean border from Handan in the starry night. Wei was slightly embarrassed, because the main force of the Wei army, which had just walked out of the prisoner camp and was about to return to China, received a notice from China as soon as possible and stood by in place. Wei sent a representative of the young Zhuang faction in the army, Jin Contempt, to take over as the commander of the Wei army.

With Zhao and Wei as backups, South Korea obviously has confidence. But no matter how confident you are, if you don't work hard, you can't win.

After the arguments of the crown prince, coupled with the huge example set by the battle of Huayang, this time South Korea took the violent kite as the main general, and the prince ran as the deputy general, and sent 100,000 troops to garrison the front line of Chenggao and Yewang.

The biggest advantage of this is that no matter what the battle is going on in Shangdang or Xinzheng, the main force of the South Korean army can be reinforced at the first time. According to Wang Ziran's judgment, the probability that the Qin army will directly take the wild king is relatively large.

The reason is simple, if the wild king is lost, South Korea will be divided in half. In the original history, the Qin State adopted such a strategy - to cut Korea in half, and then attack the Shangdang, triggering the Changping War, and the Qin State laid the last foundation for the unification of the world in the first war.

Of course, history has changed, and the prince is now not sure whether the Qin State will continue at such a pace. After all, it is not impossible to take Xinzheng directly and destroy South Korea in a war. Although the Qin State will pay a relatively high price in this case, from the perspective of the Qin State, such a price is completely worth it.

It's not that the prince didn't consider that the Qin army would make a surprise move and take Xinzheng directly. But first, Xinzheng still has 50,000 Qinwang troops urgently transferred, even if the Qin army dares to attack Xinzheng directly, it will be distracted by the 100,000 army behind him; Second, his 100,000 army will only play a greater role outside Xinzheng.

After all, the Zhao and Han armies were guest armies, and in case of fear of the enemy, the only thing South Korea could count on was its own 100,000 army, and its own performance greatly determined the success or failure of this battle.

Eight days later, Wendi.

The deputy general of the Qin army said worriedly to the main general Wang Xin: "General, the Wei army has been attacking the city for two days and nights. At the end of this day alone, the general led men to drive them down from the city wall three times, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and there were less than 800 of them who could fight. If you keep it any longer, your brothers will have to die here! Break through, General. After speaking, the deputy general ignored the inconvenience of wearing armor and resolutely knelt in front of Wang Xin.

Wang Xin smiled miserably, but said, "Break through? Where can it be sudden? There were 80,000 Wei troops under the city. Although there is little hope for defending the city, it is a little hope. If we really go out of the city, we won't be able to roll out a wave. ”

"General!" The adjutant shouted.

"Let's surrender! It's a dead end to defend it, so it's better to surrender for the time being, and wait until they relax, and then we will kill back in the pass. ”

The construction of the adjutant general is not bad, and at this time, prisoners are a very important source of soldiers.

"You're confused!" Wang Xin let out a long sigh.

"If we die in battle, we will only bring harm to ourselves. If you really surrender, it will be a great sin for the three tribes. Do you want to harm your family? ”

"But the general" adjutant general wants to justify something.

"Say no more. Ben has made up his mind and swears to fight to the last man. We Daqin people only die standing and do not kneel to live. Wang Xin ordered in a firm tone.

"No!" The adjutant had no choice but to answer.

Under Wendi City, Jin Contempt looked at Wendi not far away, and behind him were dense generals. All of them did not say a word, and looked at the main general in front of them with fear.

Since Jin Cong arrived in Xinzheng four days ago, Wei Jun's life of being like a devil began.

First of all, the two-day rapid march arrived at Wendi, 130 miles away from Xinzheng, and on the way, Jin Cong killed two lieutenants (in charge of a section of 10,000 people) and three military marquis (in charge of a song of 5,000 people) who complained a lot about him, and then set an example on the road, greatly increasing the salary of the soldiers and establishing his absolute prestige.

After arriving at Wendi, after only a little repair, Jin Contempt ordered the army to attack Wendi.

Jin Cong divided the whole army into four echelons, each echelon of 20,000 people, day and night to attack Wendi. Those who do not advance by beating the drum are cut, and those who do not retreat are cut by the gold.

According to Jin Contempt, only victory could wash away the shame of the defeat of the Wei army. If the Wei army can't take the small Wendi within three days, he will personally lead the Chinese army to attack.

Such words deeply stimulated every Wei army soldier, Wendi City was small, and the offensive force that could be invested each time was only 6,000, which was extremely conducive to defense.

The sworn resistance of the 3,000 Qin army brought great casualties to the Wei army, but this inspired the bloody nature of the Wei army. The generous treatment brought by the coach made every Wei army launch wave after wave of charges without fear of death. In just two days, the Wei army successfully climbed the city wall three times, which shows the efforts of the Wei army.

Taking advantage of the night, the Wei army launched a new round of charge.

Jin Wei watched with some numbness as his soldiers fell one by one, as if their life and death did not matter.

For the way of the general, the heart should be cured first. Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. If you have the kindness of a woman, the only consequence is that you will be incompetent and exhaust thousands of troops.

When Jin Cong arrived in Xinzheng, he saw an army of dejected and self-willing.

At that moment, Jin Contempt asked himself, is this still the main force of the Wei State?

In Jin Cong's view, what can awaken the Wei army can only be obtained on the battlefield. Since they fell on the battlefield, they could only get up from the battlefield. Hence the continuous rapid march, the unkind order. All the qiΔ“ was to recover the military soul of the Wei army.

watched his soldiers' actions in attacking the city change from jerky to proficient, and there was cooperation between actions. Jin Wei nodded secretly, it seemed that the morale was available. The counterattack of the Qin army on the city wall is becoming more and more sparse, and the breakthrough of Wendi is just around the corner!

"Someone!"

"The end will be."

"Order the third echelon to take over from the second echelon and continue the siege. Tomorrow, Ben will reward the three armies in Wendi City! ”

"No!"

The next day, the morning sun rose, and the sun shone through the thick smoke on the walls of the warm land.

The black banner of the Qin army on the city wall was dilapidated, but the two-zhang wide city head was full of corpses of soldiers, some of whom were from the Qin army, and more from the Wei army.

The corpses were intertwined, and some of them maintained expressions of anger, surprise or joy before they died. Here, there are all ways to die. Even, because it was too late to pick up the weapon, some people chose to bite the other party alive.

There is no greater cruelty in war than this.

The Wei army under the city had already had breakfast, and at this moment they were lining up in a neat line, ready to launch another charge. No one spoke loudly, but silence brought with it greater oppression.

Someone will die in the next moment of charge, someone will live.

No one knows what fate will choose, what Qin Jun and Wei Jun can accept is to bravely face this unknown fate.

There was not a single living Qin army on the Wendi city wall, but every Wei army knew that once they reached the top of the city, the Qin army would emerge from every corner. They will pounce on them with gritted teeth, and even the Qin army, which has broken arms and legs, will use their last strength to hold a Wei soldier and fall from the city.

Such an enemy is really terrifying, and the best way to deal with such an enemy is to destroy them.

However, Wei Jun was wrong this time.

The remnants of the Qin army were less than a hundred, and the main general, Wang Xin, knew that he would not be able to stop the next charge of the Wei army no matter what. It is better to die in battle than to die tragically.

So while the Wei army was having breakfast, he gathered the last ninety-three surviving Qin soldiers from the four city gates. Everyone was scarred, including Wang Xin himself.

The one-foot-long wound on his chest was given by a brave Wei Jun Shi Chang, and of course the Shi Chang did not end up benefiting, and his head full of surprise was not far from the city.

"Brothers, we will die here today. Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" It was Qin Jun's hoarse but firm voice that answered Wang Xin.

"Okay, worthy of being a good man in our Great Qin. I read you right. Now let those people in Wei State see that none of our old Qin people are afraid of death. I have decided to charge the Wei army, are you willing to follow the general to kill the Wei army? ”

"But it's up to the general to decide."

"Good brother! With you, my Wang Xin will be worth it in this life. All the soldiers obeyed the order, and the target - the military tent in the Wei army, set off! ”

"No!"

When the Wei army was about to beat the drum to attack the city, the west gate of Wendi slowly opened.

With the opening of the city gate, what resounded all around was "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together." Blood is not shed, and death is not a truce. There is Daqin in the west, as the sun rises. A hundred years of national hatred, the sea is difficult to peace. The world is in turmoil, how can we get Corning. Qin has a sharp soldier, who fights for hegemony! ”

All the Wei troops looked at the Qin army who came out of the city, and they were shocked for a while.

The Qin army supported each other and walked firmly towards the Wei army. Their pace was already unsteady, but they still tried to walk step by step, singing "How can you say that you have no clothes?" as they walked. with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

Jin looked at the Qin army that was getting closer and closer, sighed, and finally waved his hand and ordered the archers to release their arrows. With the fall of the last Qin army, the Battle of Wendi finally ended.

In this battle, the Wei army finally took Wendi City, which belonged to Wei, after two days of siege day and night. In the battle, the 3,000 defenders of the Qin army were all wiped out, and the Wei army suffered 6,000 dead and 3,000 wounded.

Although the Wei army suffered heavy losses, the great pain caused by the battle of Huayang was eliminated, and the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted.

The most important thing is that this is a rare victory of Wei over Qin in recent years, and the king of Wei was overjoyed and sent three armies. The Wei army had a little more confidence in the big war they were about to face.

The next day, the Qin army, which had marched 900 miles, was late. In view of the heavy garrison of Yewang City, Hu Yang decisively ordered the Qin army to retreat twenty miles and set up camp.

The battle of the wild king is about to break out.
