Chapter 2: The Fierce Battle (I)
PS: The code is good in advance, huhu
Wei State, Great Liang.
King Wei's face was pale, and the smashed jade, porcelain, and crooked books on the ground wordlessly told what kind of "catastrophe" had happened in the hall just now.
The prime minister of Wei and Xinling Jun knelt on the side of the main hall, bowing their heads and not daring to speak. Behind him were the Shangda Doctor Duan Ganchong, Lang Zhong Ling Wei Qing, Zhong Da Doctor Xiao Gao, Zhong Da Doctor Yan En, Guo Wei Xin, Daliang Ling Xin Yuanyan and other ministers. All of them knelt in silence, quietly waiting for King Wei's anger to be vented.
King Wei snorted coldly and shouted dissatisfiedly: "A mere 10,000 Qin troops have turned the widowed Hedong upside down, what are you all doing!" Yes! Where is the army of the widows? Why don't you destroy this group of Qin troops! ”
Yan Huang, the chief of the Wei King's Guard, outside the main hall, looked at the ministers with some sympathy. Although the Qin State was menacing this time, the Wei State was prepared. Long before the Six-Nation Alliance attacked Qin in two ways, Wei realized that Qin had no choice but to attack Hedong County.
The new Hedong County Shou is a son of Yunwen Yunwu personally appointed by King Wei, but he didn't expect that the other party was a soldier on paper. As the saying goes, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. Under the absolute superiority, the Wei army was unexpectedly defeated, losing more than 4,000 soldiers and taking Anyi.
Today, although the Wei army in Hedong County still has a numerical advantage, its morale is low and it is on the defensive. Fortunately, the Qin army was all cavalry, and they knew that they would not have an advantage if they attacked the city, so the Wei State kept the big city. But the small city was ravaged by the Qin army.
In such a situation, it is no wonder that King Wei is not angry! But Wei Wen, the guard of Hedong County, has died on the battlefield, so he can't be held responsible! In addition, Wei Wennai was appointed by the King of Wei, how could the always arrogant King Wei admit that it was his "wrong choice" that led to such a fiasco!
After taking a few deep breaths, King Wei finally eased his feelings a little, and said weakly: "Everyone, Aiqing. Although Hedong is not yet in crisis. But under the defeat of our army, the morale of the army and the people have been shaken! Now the army of our six countries is attacking Qin, but the Qin army, which can't keep Hangu Pass, is crazy and has increased its troops to Hedong! It's really going to be a crisis! What is the time to resolve this crisis? Talk about it! ”
As the prime minister, Xinlingjun spoke up without giving up. "Your Majesty! Now that more than 10,000 Qin troops are attacking the small counties of Hedong County of our Wei State, the big cities are not in danger. The minister thought that he should send a large army to reinforcements as soon as possible! To stabilize the hearts of the army and the people! On the other hand, our Hedong County and South Korea's Sanchuan County are dependent on each other, and the king can send an envoy to Xinzheng to ask for help from Korea! With South Korea's containment, the Qin army should not dare to act rashly! ”
The shrinkage who had always been a little disagreeable with Xinlingjun immediately objected: "No! The Qin State had no more than 30,000 defenders at Hangu Pass! My Wei State still has 40,000 troops in Hedong! What is missing is just a general who can fight well and is familiar with the situation! The king only needs to send the Great Liang to order Xin Qing to lead 20,000 troops. That's enough! ”
As soon as the King of Wei heard this, he turned his gaze to the Great Liang Ling Xin Yuanyan. Three years ago, when Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, led 100,000 troops to attack Hedong, Xin Yuanyan defeated the Qin army several times, and cooperated with General Jin to defeat the Qin army! Originally, he should have been the best choice for the lieutenant of Hedong County, but after several trade-offs, under the pressure of Xungui, King Wei still left the position of the lieutenant of Hedong County to Xungui. Now it seems that Xin Yuanyan is indeed the best choice!
Xin Yuanyan immediately bowed. He replied earnestly: "The minister is willing to serve the king and sweep away the Qin army in Hedong County. Also Hedong is a bright and sunny Qiankun! ”
King Wei was overjoyed and said: "With loyal ministers like Xin Qing, there is no one to worry about!" Where is Lang Zhongling! ”
Wei Qing replied respectfully: "The minister is here!" ”
"Draw up an edict now! The widow wants to crown Xin Qing as the general of Qin! Command 20,000 troops to Anyi on the same day! ”
"Whoa!"
Regarding the appointment of the king of Wei, the ministers did not have the slightest opinion. Xin Yuanyan had been in Hedong County for nearly a year, and he was familiar with the local defenders and commanded them well. If the king of Wei does not choose him as the main general. The ministers will wonder!
Doctor Duan Ganchong was unhappy in his heart. In the battle of Huayang, he swore that Mangmao would definitely win, but the result was a great defeat for the Wei army, with a loss of 80,000 soldiers. provoked the king of Wei to be furious, and he tried his best to barely keep his current position.
After some time, the Jin Dynasty defeated the Qin army. The director's illusion that he wanted to become the first general in the army was completely shattered. Now that I finally have the opportunity to lead the troops to go out again, or the opportunity to take credit lightly, I haven't fallen into the opportunity to speak! King Wei set the main general so cleanly!
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Duan Ganchong was thinking about how to use this opportunity to make a profit! Aren't you powerful at shrinking height, I recommend Xin Yuanyan as the main general! I admit it! But in terms of attitude towards South Korea, I am not as good as you would like! I want to support Shin Ling-kun's idea!
"Your Majesty! The minister thought that the king's plan was very good! General Xin will definitely be able to help the crisis in Hedong! However, the minister has some opinions about what Dr. Shrink said about not asking for help from South Korea! Duan Ganchong said unhurriedly.
King Wei nodded, and King Wei still attached great importance to the opinion of his "confidant". King Wei said in a deep voice: "Duan Aiqing, please speak!" ”
"Now I, Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Han, are allies! The Qin army attacked our Hedong, which is a provocation to our alliance! This is morality too! South Korea has an obligation to give aid to our Wei country! As for whether our Wei State accepts it, these are two words! ”
Duan Gan Chong paused, saw King Wei's thoughtful appearance, his heart was overjoyed, and continued: "Secondly, according to General Xin's troops, it is enough to drive the Qin army out or even annihilate it in Hedong!" But as the prime minister said, Hedong County and Sanchuan County depend on each other! There is no reason for us to drive away the Qin army, and South Korea will enjoy its blessings! Moreover, the minister thought that the danger in Hedong would not become a good opportunity for my Wei State! ”
"Opportunity?" King Wei asked with interest.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Qin State only has 30,000 troops in Hangu Pass! The main force is again pinned down by our six-nation coalition forces! Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the battle in Hedong, the number of troops garrisoned by the Qin army at Hangu Pass will not be any longer. Under such circumstances, why don't we lure the enemy deeper, and when the main force of the Qin army sends out of Hangu Pass, our Han and Wei coalition forces cut off their retreat and storm Hangu Pass! Hangu Pass will inevitably be able to fight down. Hangu is in hand, and Hedong County no longer has to worry about the Qin army's attack! Isn't it beautiful! ”
When King Wei heard this, he was overjoyed, and a scene of Qin State trapped in the pass jumped in his mind. Hangu Pass is the only way for the Qin State to go east. When the Wei State was strong, it relied on this to suppress the Qin State for decades. However, after the loss of Hangu Pass, the Qin State completely occupied the strategic initiative, and the Wei State was defeated and retreated to the current situation.
The ministers have different thoughts, and this plan seems to be good. But Qin Jun shouldn't be a fool, and he shouldn't be so fooled! Therefore. It's a bit of wishful thinking. Of course, it's possible with a single qiē! The most important thing at the moment is that King Wei is obviously moved, and the ministers who have recognized the things that King Wei has approved do not want to change back. Say yes, say yes! This is the opinion in the hearts of most ministers!
"Prime Minister! What do you think of this plan? King Wei asked expectantly.
"Return to the king! Dr. Duan's plan is wonderful! It would be even better if the casualty figures were controlled! For Duan Ganchong, who echoed himself and showed favor to himself, Xinlingjun also expressed enough support! Duan Ganchong just wants to make meritorious contributions, and he will repay it later!
King Wei waved his hand and said calmly: "As long as Hangu Pass is taken, any casualties will be worth it!" ”
Such a tone must have been such that Guowei Xin, who originally wanted to express his own opinions, simply stopped speaking. Doctor Yan En and his entourage thought that the national lieutenant had already agreed. Seconded the proposal!
"Since the views of the Aiqing are so unanimous, the widow will immediately send an envoy to Xinzheng! The candidate for this envoy ......" King Wei deliberately and consciously paused.
Xinlingjun immediately said: "The minister thinks that this plan is a lot of mention by the senior doctor Duan Qing!" The best candidate for the envoy should naturally be Duan Qing! In this way, it can also reflect the importance that our Wei State attaches to South Korea! ”
King Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Duan Qing, then I bother you to go for the widow! Be sure to bring South Korea in! ”
Duan Ganchong bowed a little excitedly and promised, "Your Excellency, rest assured! Ministers should do their best to live up to the king's trust! ”
"General Xin! Then your mission will change! The widow now commands you. At any cost, introduce as many main forces of the Qin army as possible into Hedong County! Even if it is to lose half of the east of the river. As long as you can win Hangu Pass, the widow will celebrate your achievements! ”
Faced with this somewhat difficult but hugely beneficial task, Xin Yuanyan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "Obey the king's will!" ”
Qin State, Bai Zhai Di.
Bai Qi stood on the command car, staring at the "Six-Nation Alliance" with a somewhat strange formation on the opposite side. After the two armies encountered. None of the parties attacked with great fanfare. Everyone knows that nearly 400,000 troops have gathered on this battlefield, and the strength of the two sides is actually almost the same. Offense can certainly take the lead, but once a flaw is exposed, it is fatal. Only after they set up their own camps, and then they have a foundation. It will be possible to draw it slowly in the future. Under the circumstance that both sides are masters in the use of soldiers and are very cautious in the use of soldiers, if they really want to eat each other completely, it will not work in three or four months.
After the initial boring temptation, Bai Qi finally concluded that the opponent's strength should be between 150,000 and 180,000! As for the more than 100,000 enemy troops who disappeared, Bai Qi was also sure that they would definitely not be in the Qin Realm. Now the Qin army in Shangjun has cut off the enemy's rear route, and the Qin army on the Hangu Pass side is rampant to the east of the river. In this case, the most likely destination of these more than 100,000 "Six-Nation Coalition Forces" is Wuguan! Presumably, there should be news from Wuguan soon! Bai Qi thought secretly.
Although Lian Po's side is obviously at a disadvantage, it doesn't seem to have such awareness. Yesterday, Lian Po personally wrote a war letter to invite Bai Qi to fight with him. This is exactly what Bai Qi wants, after all, neither side wants to show weakness all of a sudden, which is very demoralizing. Especially for Zhao Guo, when the Qin army, which is almost the same as the strength of the army, encounters and retreats from rumors, the boss of Zhao Guo has no face.
After Bai Qi responded to the battle, he found that the other party had put on such a strange formation. This cone-shaped phalanx looked like an animal seen in their southern expedition to the Chu State, which the Chu people called the Ring, which was armored and invulnerable.
"Is it invulnerable? Then show me how good you are! Bai Qi frowned, and said secretly in his heart. Bai Qi's hands were calmly waving the order flag and mobilizing the Qin army to fortify layer by layer.
"Wind! Wind! Gale! The Qin people's deafening roar rang out. The shield soldiers pressed the formation, and the layers of archers, some kneeling on one knee, some standing, they stretched out their bows, and their sharp arrows flashed in the cold light of the sun, just waiting for the enemy to enter the range!
Zhao General Sima Shang licked his mouth and greedily breathed in the tension in the air. Without any fear or uneasiness, he held his shield and was under the cover of his own guards. Resolutely and cautiously led 10,000 Zhao troops to move closer to the Qin army's large array.
The Zhao army was lined up in a large cone-shaped formation, and it was Sima Shang and his gang at the front. The most destructive power of a cone is the top and tip, just as Sima Shang's personal guard is the highest combat power of the more than 10,000 Zhao troops. The phalanx of the Zhao army was very pointed, like the sides of triangular arrows, which had the advantage of effectively reducing the attack surface of the Qin army's crossbow arrows. In addition to the rear, the front, sides, and top of the phalanx were densely covered with dense shields. Like the armor of a dragon, without a single gap.
The Zhao army soon stepped into the range of the Qin army's bow and arrows, and the Qin army's arrow rain was wave after wave, impenetrable. It seems to be very powerful, but there is nothing you can do with this turtle formation! Zhao Jun's shield was full of shocking arrows, but Zhao Jun still slowly and steadily approached the Qin army's main formation.
Bai Qi nodded, and said to Yang Duanhe, the deputy general beside him: "Pass the order!" Archers back off! The foot soldiers pressed up and prepared for a hand-to-hand fight! ”
Although the archers were temporarily ineffective, Bai Qi still had a lot of confidence. The other party is just bullying himself for not carrying a trebuchet. What if you can rush in front of yourself! The thick formation of his own army of 30,000 was not something that the Zhao army could easily break.
Sima Shang naturally saw the changes in Qin Jun, and he smiled proudly. The Qin army's arrow array is famous all over the world, and every time it is in battle, it is a violent storm that crushes the will of the enemy! If you don't form a formation, even if you barely rush to the front, you will be killed back by the Qin army's foot soldiers who are waiting for work. Like now, with the strong discipline of Zhao Jun, he resolutely and completely killed in front of Qin Jun. But. Not all armies are suitable for charging in this formation. When braving the rain of arrows, an army without a strong psychological element is often the end of collapse.
Looking at the Qin army who was getting closer and closer. Sima Shang let out a long roar and rushed forward with a quicker pace. The Zhao army behind him put down the shield that had been held high for a long time, and followed Sima Shang to charge into battle. The layers of shields were lowered, like orderly waves. As the two armies met in close combat, a more bewitching flower, a flower, bloomed on this battlefield.
The Qin army paid more attention to cooperation, and the combination of bronze swords, halberds, crossbow arrows, and shields stubbornly blocked the Zhao army. Hand over the weapon. Take it back, and a living life is gone. Qin Jun let Zhao Jun see what it means to harvest the net of life!
Zhao Jun used bravery to make up for the disadvantage of lack of cooperation. Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic man since ancient times, and Zhao Guo has trained an iron army worthy of a battle with Qin State in a short period of time with extremely high treatment! Especially before the war, Lian Po announced that the first person to break the formation would be promoted to two levels of positions and rewarded with 500 gold. Give thousands of acres of land!
Fighting for life, this is Zhao Jun's style of play. You can kill me, but you must also be prepared to die with me. Chu Jun, who was hit by several swords, smiled and shot the crossbow arrow in his hand, and the Qin army on the opposite side fell with an incredible expression. This is the true portrayal of the battlefield.
Although Qin Jun was still indifferent and mechanically killing the enemy, he was irrepressibly flustered in his heart. The Zhao army was like a storm, rolling in, slapping the Qin army's large array. They roared, roared, and rushed forward.
The place where the two armies met was soon covered with corpses, and the soldiers of the two armies, who were originally each other's mortal enemies, embraced each other in such an ironic form. Even Qin Jun, who cherished Paoze, couldn't care about him, so he stepped on Paoze's corpse and fought bloodily with Zhao Jun. Either kill each other or be killed by the other side, this is the fate of the soldiers of both armies.
The Zhao army took advantage of the bravery and favorable offensive formation to quickly tear a hole in the Qin army's large array. It was often Sima Shang who rushed to the front to kill the enemy in front of him, and the Zhao army that followed behind immediately killed the Qin army on both sides. Attacking one point, not as good as the rest, the endless Zhao army continued to rush the Qin army to the ground.
Sima Shang stabbed a Qin soldier to death with a halberd, and he never failed. The Qin army, which was occasionally caught on both wings, was either killed by the guards behind him or blocked by his shield. He was already covered in blood, with his own, but more of the enemy's. Qin Jun's unwilling shouting made Sima Shang excited all the time. Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill forward! Sima Shang only had this thought!
Bai Qi looked at the invincible young general not far away, and then looked at the somewhat scattered Qin army formation, and smiled coldly in his heart. No matter how brave the general is, don't look at the Zhao army now completely has the upper hand, but the end of the strong crossbow can't wear Lu Mianye! You only need to slowly consume the other party, and you can also exhaust Zhao Jun if you are tired! Unless Lian Po on the opposite side sends troops to support.
"Pass the order, let Sun Xing take his phalanx to the top, retreat the Yinghun phalanx, and let Zhao Jun in!" Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
Adjutant General Yang Duanhe soon realized that Bai Qi was going to besiege and kill Zhao Jun. consciously created an illusion for Zhao Jun that the Qin army was not supported, so that Zhao Jun subconsciously rushed inside. When the Qin army on both wings completes the outflanking of the Zhao army, the Qin army will transform into a pair of pliers and cut the conical formation of the Zhao army in half!
Sima Shang, who rushed to the front, quickly felt that the Qin army was loosened, the combat power of the Qin army's formation on the new top was not very good, it seemed that the Qin army put the strongest military strength at the front! Sima Shang thought secretly. But that's just right! You can borrow a concubine to become famous!
Thinking so in his heart, Sima Shang rushed forward three points faster! Qin Jun retreated step by step! There are signs that it will collapse in the next second! But this situation did not last long, after retreating more than a hundred steps, Qin Junsheng stopped his retreating steps and resisted the advance offensive of the Zhao army. No matter how hard Zhao Jun tried, he couldn't move forward in the slightest. Sima Shang looked back, where was there still the shadow of his own support, except for the subordinates in front of him, there were Qin troops in all directions! (To be continued......)
