Chapter 178: Encirclement and Reinforcement (II)
The soldiers around Wang Jian saw that sharp arrows were shooting like rain towards their generals, and hurriedly blocked in front of Wang Qian. One soldier fell, and then a second soldier used his body as a shield to protect his general, and gradually, the last soldier also fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, Wang Jian shouted angrily, picked up the Glaive Knife, and rushed in the direction of the Tang army, only to see a few sharp arrows just shot into his neck, bleeding like an infusion, spurting out, dyeing the armor around him red. Wang Jian subconsciously put the glaive knife on the ground to support himself from falling, his angry eyes were still wide, looking straight ahead, and his breathing gradually became weak.
Pei Baohu urged the horse to run a few steps forward, and when he came to Wang Qian's side, he saw that although he was still standing and his eyes were wide open, there was no sign of life.
Pei Baohu nodded secretly and muttered: "It's a hero, it's a pity, you are on the wrong lineup." He paused, and said to the guards beside him: "Returning Wang Qian's body to the Qin State will not be in vain for his reputation." ”
When Qin received Wang Qian's body, he held a simple cremation for Wang Qian, because the entire Xianyang City had not yet resolved the crisis, he could only choose to bid farewell to the first general under his command in this form.
In the past, he said goodbye to the "God of Death" Bai Qi, and today he wants to say goodbye to the "God of War" Wang Qian, they are all the best generals in the entire Qin State, how can their departure not make him heartbroken. Pei Baohu returned Wang Qian's body, ostensibly as a tribute to Wang Qian, but in fact, it was used to hit the morale of the entire Qin State. How could Fusu not know the stakes involved.
After the burial of Wang Qian, Fusu once again ascended to the city of Xianyang, this trip, not only to observe the next attempt of the Tang army, but also to encourage the determination of the soldiers defending the city to defend to the end.
The battlefield had been cleaned up by the Tang army, and most of the Tang army was resting in the barracks, and fences with sharp stakes had been erected on the periphery at some point, apparently to prevent a sudden attack by the Qin army. From time to time, there were patrolling groups of men and horses in the Tang army barracks, and their behavior did not show a trace of panic. The number of tents in the barracks has also doubled compared to before.
In the previous attack, Wang Jian led 20,000 elite soldiers to eat 40,000 Tang troops, which gave the Tang army a lot of spiritual impact to a certain extent, and it is no wonder that although the Tang army's camp was quiet, it was not loose at all.
"Tang Jun, this time it is definitely going to encircle the point and send reinforcements, I knew that this was the case, and I really should move Kyoto to the northernmost part. Hey, I don't know if the letters for help from the soldiers who escaped have been delivered? It is estimated that there will be no response until tomorrow at the earliest. In view of the current platoon situation of the Tang Army, it should be possible to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. Fusu thought to himself.
Soon, the various realms received letters of help from the Qin State one after another. The leaders and generals of the various realms once again converged on the Great Wall. Among the generals of this gathering, except for the generals of the Western Regions Alliance Army in the past, the rest came.
"My lord, why didn't anyone from the Western Regions Alliance come here?" Li Yuanfang asked.
"At the beginning of the Demon War, we were strong, and they naturally took refuge in us. Now we only have 200,000 people, and we can't compare with the 500,000 army of Datang in terms of numbers, so they will naturally take refuge in the opposite side. Forced by the situation, this is completely understandable. Di Renjie said with emotion.
"Then what if we meet with the Western Regions Alliance on the battlefield?" Li Yuanfang said.
"We're not going to be the first to do it." Di Renjie said.
On this day, Di Renjie officially convened an anti-Tang mobilization meeting.
"Now, we have destroyed the Demon Race, and to a certain extent, we have also removed the biggest potential opponent for Datang. Our Demon Destroying Alliance fought independently, losing too many soldiers and losing a lot of vitality. Therefore, Datang will take this opportunity to encroach on our various realms one by one. The Qin State is their first target, and I don't know which of you will be next, so until then, our realms should unite again and unanimously resist the oppression of the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie said.
When the generals of the various realms heard this, they all bowed their heads one after another.
"Now we have 200,000 soldiers, but only 20 aircraft carriers can fly now, the rest are still under repair, and there is a shortage of arrows and boulders, so we only send 100,000 troops this time. Moreover, the most important point is that the creation of the Wall of Time will take a long time, that is, we cannot continue to rely on the Wall of Time to create a turning point for us in the war. In this war, we can only rely on our own weapons. Di Renjie said again.
"Your Excellency, Commander, just tell us what we should do next." Su Lie said.
The participants were silent, listening to the commander's action instructions.
"Qin's letter for help, everyone has also read it carefully, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers directly stationed under Xianyang City, and there are hundreds of thousands of ambush soldiers on the road to Xianyang, so we rashly go to save Xianyang, it is inevitable that we will have to rely on the enemy's encirclement to help. Therefore, our next goal is Chang'an, and we must implement the plan of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao". Twenty aircraft carriers made a feint attack on Chang'an, and 100,000 troops were ambushed on the way back for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it is possible to turn reactive into proactive. Di Renjie said carefully.
When everyone heard this plan, they were all convinced.
The plan is decided, and the next step is to put it into action. The 100,000 anti-Tang troops traveled at night, and the aircraft carrier Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after two days, they each arrived at each other's predetermined positions.
During the march, Di Renjie had already sent people to Chang'an in advance to spread the information that the anti-Tang army of 300,000, carrying all kinds of weapons, and the time still wall, was about to besiege Chang'an and capture Ming Shiyin alive.
Ming Shi heard this rumor and immediately sent scouts to investigate, and the scouts reported that there were indeed dozens of aircraft carriers Xiaoxing who stayed overnight and came to Chang'an. What Ming Shiyin fears most is not the various sharp weapons carried by aircraft carriers, but their time still wall.
After Ming Shiyin returned from the scout, he was still afraid after all.
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, if they really have an army of 300,000, or if their time static wall destroys all my weapons, won't Chang'an be self-defeating, no, for the sake of safety, let's transfer all the troops in the east back." Ming Shi is hidden in his own mind.
After Pei Baohu and Yi Xing received Ming Shiyin's order to return to China, they immediately left the camp and returned to China without thinking.
Li Yuanfang personally took the scout to listen from the east and brought the most accurate news to Di Renjie.
"My lord, according to the personal inspection of his subordinates, Pei Baohu's aircraft carrier really can't fly anymore, because their anti-gravity spars have been damaged by someone. And they really fell for it, Pei Baohu and Yi Xing led 200,000 Tang troops, and they were rushing back to Chang'an day and night, and they would enter our ambush circle in a few days. Li Yuanfang said.
"Huh? I don't know who is secretly helping us, and at any rate, we will do what we need to keep hidden, and we will only wait for them to come. Di Renjie said.
When Pei Baohu and Yi Xing galloped back, Yi Xing suddenly felt that the terrain in front of him was too suitable for the enemy to ambush, the middle road was narrow, and although the mountain passes on both sides were not very high, it was indeed more than enough to hide a person.
Yi Xing suddenly stopped Pei Baohu and whispered: "The terrain ahead is dangerous, and there is very likely to be an ambush, so it is better to send scouts to investigate first, and then it's not too late to walk."
When Pei Baohu heard that what he said was reasonable, he readily agreed, and then sent a scout to investigate first, but the scout reported that everything was normal and nothing unusual.
When the Tang army was marching, countless rockets suddenly appeared in the sky, and the rockets fell in unison, like a fire dragon, and rushed straight towards the Tang army, followed by the second and third rounds of fire-colored arrow rain, roaring, and the Tang army was suddenly in chaos.
Pei Baohu and the others couldn't imagine why they were ambushed by this when they were obviously found out without hindrance. It turned out that Di Renjie sent people to hollow out the col in advance, and all the people hid in the col, and all the soil dug up was poured into the river not far away. When the time came, Di Renjie ordered to attack out of the cave.
