Fifty-five, the two sons join forces to attack the shore gate (2)
Chen Xi was in a hurry! He and the commander of the Eighth Army, Ying Si, although they are both adjutant generals, their first task is to ensure the safety of Ziji. Ying Si is now responsible for the transfer of troops on the west bank and the command of crossing the river, and the responsibility for the safety of Ziji falls on Ziji. What a disease! Before crossing the river, I said a thousand things, but he still didn't stop. If Zi Ji really has three long and two short, how can I substitute for the main bus? When he saw that it was already dawn, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to cross the river with the raft, and ordered the light chariot army to rush to the north gate at noon. After the order, he led the army to chase after Ziji.
Zijian took 2,500 troops and stopped five miles away from the north gate of the city of Anmen. Ordered a brigade commander to touch the Wei outpost guard camp and guard the north gate himself. When the brigade commander surrounded the guard battalion, he was about to enter.
Someone in the Wei army suddenly shouted: "Stop! Own. "This brigade commander turned out to be one of his fellow countrymen in the Fifth Army. Only then did I know that the prince's army had crossed the river. The brigade commander brought his fellow countrymen to the sub-disease.
As soon as Zijian asked, he learned that the prince had begun to cross the river last night, with 5,000 troops in each batch. This brigade commander of the Fifth Army was the second batch to cross the river. The prince was afraid that his younger brother would suffer a loss, so he ordered this brigade commander to secretly touch the 100-man guard post of the Wei army here, and pretended to be the Wei army to answer Ziji's illness here.
Ziji's heart was hot, and he was very touched by his brother's concern for him. But after listening to it, he calculated: the prince's army could cross the river in nine hours. From last night's o'clock to now, the prince's army has crossed the river for seven hours. The crown prince could attack the city at the latest. What kind of brother is this prince? It's really not creditworthy, one in advance, two more ships. I crossed the river according to the rules, and now I have only crossed two rivers with 5,000 people. After the child calculated, he panicked, and no matter how much he rushed, he fell behind the prince. But you can't do it if you don't hurry! It's rare that when the prince has captured all the shore gates, my army has just crossed the river?
Thinking of this, Ziji's character of not admitting defeat immediately ordered this brigade of princes to return to the team! He also ordered the envoys to go to the river to supervise the army, and be sure to increase the number of boats and speed up! Before the time comes, the host will be crossed! and he will also storm the city in due time.
The envoy has just left. Ziji heard the earth-shattering killing shouts coming from the south gate. The prince actually attacked the city in Chenshi? He couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered the only 2,500 troops to start attacking the city as well!
The commander who led the team persuaded him. He smiled and explained to the commander: "The prince has already attacked the city. If I don't attack the city, first, let the prince laugh at our army's slow crossing, and second, let the Wei army concentrate all its strength against the prince; Therefore, this city must be attacked. But just for the detailed attack, beat the drums and shout loudly, the more lively the moon, as long as the Wei army is contained, and a letter to the prince will be enough. ”
Only then did the division commander agree, according to Ziji's order, use three people to beat one drum, and the five-sided war drum people will beat the sound of fifteen war drums! His 2,500 troops, also lined up in a common attack formation, carried the ladder to the city, and shouted in a group as they marched towards the city wall: "Invincible! Invincibility! ”
There is an order to stop before leaving the city, and there must be no casualties! Therefore, the Qin army that attacked the north gate was only lively, and did not have the slightest danger to the Wei army in the northern city. But this trouble, Chen Xi, who had just arrived, was in a hurry. As soon as he saw that Zijian was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he only had 2,500 troops under his command, he dared to attack the city in a big way. If the Wei army defending the city saw that this soft persimmon was delicious and sent the army out of the city to surround it, where would Zijian run? What else does Chen Xi care about there. Hurry up and give the order, the 2,500 troops he led, hurry forward! Run ahead of the team by yourself and go to the city to stop Ziji.
Ziji's 2,500 Ketou army, holding high Ziji's handsome flag, Ketou's military flag, and miscellaneous flags and drums, shouted and advanced less than two miles, suddenly, on the wall of the North Gate City, hundreds of war drums suddenly sounded, and an army of 10,000 people rushed over as if they came out of the ground. The Chinese army held high a handsome flag of Wei Hu.
Zijian saw it, jumped up angrily and scolded Wei Hu: "Lao Tzu, bastard Wei Hu!" Eat persimmons to catch up with soft pinching. The south gate is the main attack, why don't you ambush my brother at the south gate, but come to the north gate to ambush me? But he scolded in his heart, but his face was unusually calm. He drew his sword and ordered loudly: "Deploy a formation to meet the enemy, and retreat while fighting!" ”
The head army is brave and good at fighting, and has already pressed arrows, crossbows, spears, ge, swords, knives, and shields to set up formations. The sword and shield bearers are at the forefront. A platoon of five hundred people, a total of five platoons, covered Zijian in the formation, and waited for the Wei army to be only forty steps away from the big formation, and then suddenly shouted: "Invincible!" Invincibility! In the shouts and drums, thousands of arrows were fired in unison, which immediately caused the Wei army to be defeated.
At this moment, Chen Xi felt. As soon as Chen Xi, who arrived, saw it, he ordered 2,500 people to divide into two teams, rush forward and use the fastest speed to protect the two wings of the Ziji Great Array.
This Wei Fox has been on the battlefield for a long time. At that time, the sergeant who fled back from the outpost camp knew that after the Qin army crossed the river, it was a kind of arrangement. He personally led the 10,000 troops and ambushed behind a mound one mile outside the north gate, waiting to ambush the Qin army that came to attack the city. When the south gate was attacked, he remained still. Because he firmly believed that the Qin army would attack the north gate. As soon as he saw Ziji's attack, there were only 2,500 branch head soldiers, he hated his own mistake in judgment! But you can't go home empty-handed, annihilating two thousand five is two thousand five. If it weren't for the fact that when he gave the order to attack, he felt a little more comfortable after seeing that another 2,500 Qin troops had come to see him die. He thought in his heart, whatever, clean up these Qin troops first. So he ordered the Wei army to outflank the two wings and be sure to encircle and annihilate the five thousand Qin troops!
The Wei army was all Hexi dead soldiers who were accustomed to fighting with him, and he was forced to surrender in Heyang last year, so he hated the Qin army to the core. After receiving the order, tens of thousands of Wei troops surrounded the 5,000 Qin troops like an iron bucket, and immediately slapped at the Qin army wave after wave like an endless tide. These Wei troops are looking for revenge for the Qin army that took their homeland, how can they still care about their lives.
The 5,000 Qin army was also tenacious, and they set up a circle to prevent the Wei army from breaking it. The two armies you will kill each other. But the Qin army must be few people, and it is all an infantry army, and it is constantly retreated by the Wei army's seven and eight charges. Before noon, he was trapped in a small forest less than seven or eight miles from the north gate. Thanks to this small forest, the chariots of the Wei army were stopped, otherwise the five thousand Qin troops would have been scattered and annihilated by the chariots.
However, with this small forest, the life of the Qin army was saved, and when it was about to be broken and annihilated, suddenly there were bursts of attacking Qin drums from the east and west! The light chariot armies of the two Qin armies rushed into the Wei army's military formation from both flanks like crazy, and what they rampaged was a mess, stirring up the iron wall of the Wei army.
