Chapter Seven: The Great Destruction of the Qiang Army (2)
After Qi Wannian left the camp, he turned straight to the northwest. They left their baggage, but they wanted to hurry to Chiyang City, but fortunately, Chiyang City was not far away.
But Qi Wannian led the army before he ran out of five miles, and found that there were 30,000 Jin troops in front of him blocking the way, and the banner was the Yongzhou army. The Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles in the Jin Army's array were like devouring giant beasts, making the Qiang soldiers panic.
Qi Wannian wanted to bypass it. But he saw the 20,000 cavalry in the Jin army split off from the left and right sides and rushed towards them.
Qi Wannian clearly knew that if he was entangled by these 20,000 cavalry, the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles would follow, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of Jin troops behind him who would catch up at any time.
Qi Wannian's heart was horizontal, so he had to break his arm and shout loudly: "Dou Shou! You lead the headquarters to meet me and drag the Jin cavalry! I will take your family to the palace and take care of it as my own relatives! ”
A general behind Qi Wannian smiled sadly, shouted loudly, and roared wildly and led the 3,000 cavalry of his headquarters out of the formation, until he met the 20,000 Jin army. As soon as the two armies connected, a gap was immediately left for Qi Wannian, and Qi Wannian took the opportunity to bypass it and fled in a panic.
~~~~~~~
It was finally dark, and the war was over.
The 3,000 Qiang troops who had been sent to death were completely annihilated, leaving a corpse lying quietly on the field.
The Diqiang army that failed to escape in the Diqiang military camp was also annihilated, and the corpses on the north bank of Jingshui were all over the field, and there was a corpse every few steps, and the ground could no longer see the original color, and there were blood stains everywhere.
The soldiers of the Jin army were in groups of three or five, dragging the corpses onto wooden carts and pulling them to the big pit that had been dug to bury them collectively.
In the Diqiang camp, Zhou was sitting in Qi Wannian's position, listening to his subordinates report the results of the battle.
This battle was really beautiful! Surprisingly smooth.
Sima Ji deserves to be called the first fierce general of the Chu State! The Yamen army led by him unstoppably attacked the camp of the Diqiang army at the beginning, and then began a one-sided massacre.
More than 20,000 people were killed and wounded in this battle, which was almost one-third of Qi Wannian's 70,000 army. In comparison, the casualties of the Jin army were almost negligible.
Qi Wannian led his army and fled to Chiyang. If Sima Ting and Wei Qi were not surprised, then Qi Wannian would also be surprised when he arrived in Chiyang City.
The more he listened, the more excited he became, it seemed that this time Qi Wannian was going to be greatly injured.
~~~~~~~
When Qi Wannian was killed and fled in the wilderness, Sima Ting and Wei Qi led the 40,000 Jin army to quietly touch the edge of Jingshui. The man is grass, the horse is silent.
Sima Ting and Wei Qi stood side by side, looking at the turbulent Jingshui. Behind him, Liu You ran over and said excitedly: "My lord, the pontoon bridge has been built." ”
Wei Qi glared when he heard this: "Then why don't you pull the pontoon bridge over and put it down into the water?!" ”
Liu You looked at Wei Qi dissatisfiedly, and said in his heart, you are not my adult, why do you give me a good face. However, dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Liu You still ran to ask someone to pull the pontoon.
The pontoon bridge is made of dozens of rafts connected end to end. As soon as the army was put into the water, Wei Qi jumped on, and with his strong martial arts, he connected the pontoon bridge to the north bank, and then jumped on the north bank to fix the pontoon bridge. Dozens of Jin troops on the south bank worked together and cooperated with Wei Qi to build the pontoon bridge on the Jingshui River.
Another pontoon bridge was dragged out, and this time Sima Ting jumped up and did the same. In the blink of an eye, another pontoon bridge appeared on Jingshui.
The army then quickly began to cross the river under the command of the general.
About half an hour later, the 40,000 Jin troops all crossed Jingshui. Destroying the two pontoon bridges with their hands, Sima Ting and Wei Qi led the army to sneak towards Chiyang City by the faint moonlight in the sky.
~~~~~~~
When Sima Ting and Wei Qi came to a mile south of Chiyang City, they found that the soldiers on the upper floor of Chiyang City were all casual and lazy, as if they had not yet discovered the whereabouts of the Jin army.
Wei Qi summoned the generals of the two armies and said in a deep voice: "Generals, the defenders of Chiyang City, according to the current situation, they have not found any trace of us. I don't know what you guys have to do? ”
Sima Ting's eyes narrowed, and he said, "It's better for me and General Wei Qi to lead an elite soldier to touch it from the city wall." The 40,000 Jin army was under the full command of General Sima Tai, and when three rockets were shot in the city, he led the army to attack the city. ”
Sima Tai is a member of the royal family, known for his talents, and is a close confidant of Chu Wangwei. Chu Wangwei sent Sima Tai to Sima Ting as the deputy general of the Xiao cavalry. He is more than forty years old, but it is an iron spear that makes the wind and water prosperous. Hearing Sima Ting's words at this moment, he frowned slightly and said: "The two generals are both the commanders of the first army, but how can they risk their lives?" ”
Wei Qi shook his head and said, "General Sima Tai, don't worry, I join forces with Sima Ting, I'm afraid that this Chiyang City can't find anyone who can hurt the lives of the two of us." The stakes are high in this Chiyang City, and without further ado, I think this plan is feasible. ”
Sima Tai thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
Sima Ting and Wei Qi immediately ordered three hundred soldiers of the Jin army with good skills, and they escaped into the night together and rushed to Chiyang City.
Chiyang City is about three zhang high, but it is nothing in front of Sima Ting and Wei Qi. Both of them jumped lightly, relayed on the wall, and flew up to the top of the city.
The two hid in the shadows on the city wall, and found that there were more than a dozen soldiers of the Qiang Army standing on this section of the city wall, all of them were full of breath and sleepy-eyed.
The two glanced at each other, and they shot together and quietly killed the dozen or so Qiang soldiers. Wei Qi then took charge of the guard, while Sima Ting threw several ropes downward.
When the soldiers of the Jin army waiting under the city saw it, they immediately climbed up one after another. Not long after, dozens of Jin troops gathered at the head of the city.
"Click, click, click......" There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, but there was a Diqiang army, a group of ten people walking this way.
Sima Ting hurriedly gestured to everyone to cover up, and when the ten Diqiang soldiers approached, he and Wei Qi pounced violently. I saw a few sword lights flashing, and in an instant, the neck of the Qiang army was slashed. With a few sounds of "plop, plop", the ten Qiang soldiers lost their breath.
Sima Ting looked at it from a distance, and found that no one had noticed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and let the Jin army under the city continue to climb.
When more than 100 Jin troops climbed into the city, the Diqiang army in the distance finally discovered the abnormality on this side and shouted loudly in Diqiang language towards this side.
Sima Ting secretly said in his heart that it was not good, the Diqiang army must be saying a code or something, but there was no one in his Jin army who could even speak Diqiang, and it was bound to be exposed.
Seeing that he was about to be discovered, Sima Ting no longer hid, and immediately rushed over with the Jin army that had gone to the city. The Diqiang army in the distance was shocked when they saw that it was the Jin army rushing towards the city, and shouted loudly into the city: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
