Chapter 123: A Great Victory

Looking at the Wei cavalry fleeing in panic not far away, Wang Jian showed a smug smile. Truth be told, they're doing a good job. Sensing that they had seen through their ruse, they bravely stepped forward to provoke themselves in order to buy time for the main force, trying to lead them in the wrong direction.

It's a pity that the traces left by the 50,000 troops of Han and Wei are too obvious. Even though they had covered most of their traces, they still couldn't escape the sharp eyes of the Qin army scouts. The only thing the Wei cavalry could do was to harass and harass the Qin army with insignificant arrows and slow down the Qin army. But when Wang Jian got serious and sent a thousand iron horsemen to drive away this Wei army, all they could do was to flee for their lives.

"General, the last general just looked at the map, and three miles ahead is Turbidity, and after Turbidity is Yanshi City. I see that the soldiers are exhausted, why don't you take a rest? Adjutant General Yang Duanhe said hesitantly.

In order to catch up with the enemy army as much as possible, the Qin army only spent three hours to drive seventy miles, which was already the limit of the Qin army. The army can rush to Yanshi City in one go, but when you get there, I am afraid that you will not have the strength to fight.

Wang Jian looked at the traces left by the Han and Wei armies in front of him, and then looked back at the panting Qin soldiers, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Order the whole army, add dinner tonight." After the turbidity, the army can rest and recuperate. However, be sure to reach Salt City before dark. ”

There were only 2,000 defenders in Yanshi City, and Wang Jian was not sure how long they could resist the Han and Wei armies. The so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, if the city of the Yan clan is lost because he is a little late, then his own situation is even more dangerous. Han and Wei could have sent an army to stay in Yanshi City. Contain your own side, and the rest of the army will directly attack the prime minister's belly and back.

But after the turbidity, it's different. As long as the Salt City is not lost, the defenders can be completely condescending. At a glance, you can see your own support army. Even if Han and Wei rumors have completely annihilated their own side, they will be self-defeating. When the time comes, he will recuperate while containing the armies of Han and Wei.

Seeing that Wang Jian looked so firm, Yang Duanhe sighed silently in his heart. The trail left by the Han and Wei coalition forces stretched all the way to the west, and the city of Yan was definitely crumbling now. Maybe I'm too considerate!

Soon, the Qin army entered the ambush circle carefully set up by the Han and Wei coalition forces.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Jin Cong's order, a dense rain of arrows began to fall on the heads of the Qin army, and the rain of arrows bloomed blood-red flowers. Take a living life.

"Kill!" After the rain of arrows, without the orders of the main general, the Han and Wei soldiers on both sides fought with swords and killed the Qin army in a panic.

"Formation! Formation! "The defeat of the Qin army has been revealed, but Wang Jian is the main general, and he still wants to try to restrain his soldiers.

With just a sweep, Wang Jian knew that he was surrounded by the main forces of the Han and Wei coalition forces. At this time, the possibility of dividing the troops to break through and survive is small, and the only way is to form a phalanx. Slowly retreat, there is a glimmer of life. Wang Jian also finally realized that the enemy army skillfully used a series of schemes, and every qiē was to encircle and annihilate him.

Poor see. A moment ago, he was delusional about continuing to block them. Unexpectedly, people didn't take themselves seriously at all. Just over 3,000 soldiers let themselves get carried away and lose their bearings. 3,000 Wei troops in exchange for their own 15,000 troops. It's worth it!

Wang Jian decided to atone for his sins. No matter what today, I must lead this army to break out. For this. On the one hand, he ordered the deputy general Yang Duan and the guards to keep the banner of the Chinese army and gather the army; On the other hand, it was the most elite guards who rushed to kill. Wherever the Han and Wei coalition forces attacked the most, Wang Jian and his personal guards appeared.

Soon, Wang Qian's voice became hoarse, but his behavior as the chief general and taking the lead aroused the fighting spirit of the Qin army. And Qin Jun saved himself at this moment because of the discipline cultivated by Shang Ying's reform. After surviving the initial panic, the remnants of the Qin army's 10,000-strong army gradually gathered.

Seeing that the main general of the Qin army led the guards to rush left and right on the battlefield and gather a large army, although Jin was angry, he was still calm. No matter how brave the Qin army's chief general is, he hasn't fallen for his own strategy, and now he is just a trapped beast. Their own side has a numerical advantage, and the defeat of the Qin army is certain. It is precisely because of this confidence that Jin Contempt commanded the army to adjust the formation, fight steadily, and was not in a hurry.

Jin's quest for stability gave Wang Jian a chance to breathe, and the Qin army began to rely on the phalanx to withstand the attacks of the Han and Wei armies. However, Wang Jian also knows that this is only temporary. When the Han and Wei armies adjusted their formations, the Qin army still had to face the shape of walking on thin ice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Jian completely ignored the danger, jumped into the chariot, raised his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, we have been surrounded, and there are Han and Wei armies in front and behind. Instead of running for your life and being slashed by the enemy from behind, it is better to fight to the death and die in a dignified battle. Even if we die in battle, we must let the enemy know that there is no one of our old Qin people, and our iron-blooded men of Great Qin only die standing and do not kneel to live! ”

More than 10,000 Qin troops suddenly woke up, yes! There is no way back but to fight to the death! Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Their fear gradually changed to a monstrous war spirit.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Ten thousand Qin troops roared.

Wang Jian was moved to tears, this is Daqin's soldiers! They never complain that they are in danger because of their carelessness, they only obey their military orders unconditionally. They gave themselves all they had, blood, toil, and sweat, and the only thing they could repay was to die on the battlefield with them.

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together! Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce! I don't know who was the first to chant this war song, and soon, all the Qin troops chanted this "national martyrdom" of the Qin State together.

At first, it was a groan, but later, Qin Jun's voice became louder and louder, and it became a roar. They roared hoarsely, and as they roared, they slaughtered the Han and Wei armies beside them. This increasingly neat roar seemed to add to the infinite courage of the Qin army, and the Qin army was no longer afraid of death, and even went to death happily.

Jin Jun could clearly see that after a Qin soldier slashed and killed a Wei soldier, he was immediately plunged into his chest with a spear, and seeing that he couldn't live, Qin Jun actually showed a relieved smile. The shock in Jin Contempt's heart was beyond measure, and at the same time, he also came to his senses. Don't look at the sneak attack just now, which took the lives of more than 5,000 Qin troops, but the remaining 10,000 Qin troops will cause great casualties to the Han and Wei armies. If they are not careful, the armies of Han and Wei may even be defeated.

"I will never allow anything like this to happen!" Jin said secretly.

"Storm General, the Qin army is about to launch a counterattack, please move forward with your army's strong crossbow battalion and contain the Qin army." Jin Jun looked at Qin Jun with a cold face, and said to the violent kite beside him.

The storm kite comprehended, and the morale of the Qin army began to rise, and it was very unwise to fight with it at this time. It is better to retreat and rely on rejecting horses and strong crossbows to harass the other party and hit the other party's morale. When the opponent's morale is discharged, it will be easy to break the formation.

The rumbling war drums began to beat, and with the waving of the order flag, 5,000 Korean troops with strong crossbows in their hands began to form a formation. Wang Jian immediately saw the other party's intentions, the other party was really experienced in using troops, and took the initiative to retreat after his morale was greatly boosted, and did not engage with his own short-handed troops. Now the only plan at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's position has not yet been assembled, take the initiative to meet it, and mix with the opponent, so as to disrupt the opponent's deployment. Otherwise, you will fall into a dead end of fighting with the other party.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian immediately ordered the whole army to assault. The Qin army completely abandoned the clumsy chariot and launched a decisive charge with cavalry as the vanguard and infantry following closely behind.

The battle soon fell into a state of anxiety, although the flanks of the Han and Wei armies retreated again and again, trying to open the gap and create an opportunity for the strong crossbow battalion in front. But the Qin army completely ignored the casualties, and after paying the price of more than 1,000 people, it finally got mixed up with the Han and Wei armies.

"Kill!" Qin Jun stared at the blood-red eyes, brandished the spear and sword in his hand, and killed the Han and Wei armies who had no way to retreat. The coalition forces that have the upper hand naturally refuse to show weakness, and the repeated retreats just now are just to create opportunities for the strong crossbow battalions, and now that there is no need to retreat, let's fight!

The two sides collided violently, kicking up a cloud of dust. Although they couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, all the soldiers on both sides knew that there was an enemy on the opposite side. They want to die, and if they want to live, they can only kill each other.

On the small battlefield, everyone numbly and mechanically handed out their weapons and stabbed each other. Individual martial arts seem insignificant here, there is no room for maneuver, and even the most brilliant general will die at the hands of a pawn. Here, there is only one way to survive, and that is to kill the other person as quickly as possible, before the other person kills himself.

If you're bleeding, that's normal; If you break your arm or leg, it's a pity; If you have a few swords in your body, that's sympathetic enough. It's just that everyone on this battlefield doesn't have time to care about their injuries. They had only one thought, to kill any enemy in front of them before they fell, before they took their last breath, and let him bury him.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most test of the courage of the army, and the Qin army has never lacked courage, even if they run long distances and only rest for a moment; The Wei army has won many victories, and it is not lacking in fighting spirit, not to mention that they have an absolute advantage in numbers. The two sides are evenly matched, fighting to the death.

However, Qin Jun's fighting spirit was still beyond Jin Contempt's imagination. You can't imagine how powerful an army in a desperate situation can be. It is the desire for life, the defense of honor.

The two sides unconsciously fought hard for an hour, and by this time the sky had completely darkened, and the dark night gave the Qin army an excellent opportunity to break through. In order to create the greatest chaos, the Qin army even set fire to the reeds around it, and the fire suddenly became out of control.

In Jin's contemptuous and hateful eyes, Wang Jian finally led an army of less than 3,000 to successfully break through, and soon disappeared into the vast night, not knowing where to go.

In this battle, the Han and Wei coalition forces skillfully used a series of tactics to annihilate 12,000 Qin troops at the cost of 6,000 casualties of their own, and won a complete victory. (To be continued......)
