Chapter 65
Everyone's guess that Mo Shangxuan would attack soon was right. And there's almost no need to guess, because there's no need for Mo Shangxuan to wait any longer. Ever since he learned that the palace of the King of Shu had been destroyed overnight, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth with hatred, and there was nowhere to put his anger.
In particular, Feng Jiefu told him that before the people of the Shu Palace said that before the disaster, Duguqing sent someone to send a bunch of things to the Shu Palace. On the surface, it looks like a good thing, but it just so coincidentally, it didn't take long for the Shu Palace to be destroyed in an instant.
Although it is impossible to produce so much power with just a few carts of property, Feng Jiefu believes that Duguqing and Poxi are worthy of suspicion. Mo Shangxuan once thought that Dugu Qing was actually still under the control of the "soul attraction", although it was the early stage, but it also achieved the effect of inducing Dugu Qing to put him first in everything.
However, abnormal things have been happening in the Shu Palace, and it has indeed happened one after another since Duguqing and Liyang Fengnu came into contact with the Shu Palace. This made him have to suspect the stakes, especially the symbol of Liyang Fengnu's "disaster to destroy the country and destroy the world", which is likely to be the root cause.
Although he never dreamed that he had only left the Shu Palace for a few days, he would come back and see the miserable ruins. That is the foundation and symbol of their Moshang family for thousands of years, and it is the direction of the people of Shu to follow their beliefs. However, this glory was cut off in his hands, how could he endure it?
can't bear it, so it is even more necessary to defeat the Qin army, and after occupying Bashu, rebuild the palace of the king of Shu. He not only wants to rebuild, but also to build more magnificent than the original Shu Palace, and he wants the whole Bashu to look up to the miracle he created.
Now, this miracle is about to be born, because he took the initiative to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Qin army. The Qin army also sent 50,000 soldiers and horses, and at the beginning, the Qin army was indeed brave and flawless, and the combat deployment was perfect, and it once had the upper hand.
However, slowly, the Qin army was defeated and retreated, and the Qin army suffered tens of thousands of casualties in the first battle. I'm afraid that to this day, they are still anxious and don't know why. Mo Shangxuan Because of this, his heart that had been depressed finally dispersed a little.
"King Shu, we won the first battle, can we simply annihilate their entire camp in one fell swoop?"
Leng Ming knew that the King of Shu was in a much happier mood than before, and he also hoped that the Shu army would defeat the existing Qin army as soon as possible, so as to quickly control the entire Bashu and lay the foundation for the King of Shu's ambition to lead Bashu.
"We can't wait, although we have the magic weapon to win, but the forward force is only half brought back, we can't be complacent. Where is the Qin army so easy to deal with, although we repelled them today, but we ourselves have lost thousands of men and horses, it can be seen that if we use the same weapon, we have no chance of winning. For this reason, we must keep our manpower well, because we only have 400,000 troops to use, but even if the Qin State does not have these 150,000 soldiers and horses, there are still many 150,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Mo Shangxuan is not really that ignorant, he knows that the power he can use now is limited, and if he can, he will not lose. So at present, as long as it is gradual, there is still a good chance of great success. But in terms of time, it must be as soon as possible, and now the Qin army has sent people to send reinforcements. If so, in a month before and after, the reinforcements of the Qin State will definitely be able to reach Bashu, and they will not be able to bear it themselves.
"So what should we do next?"
"Rest well, continue the offensive tomorrow."
Mo Shangxuan confidently gave the order, and after listening to the cold order, he was about to go down to make arrangements, but was stopped by Mo Shangxuan: "How is the beast park of Poison Peak now?" ”
"My subordinates have gone to see it myself, although... Our men are gone, but the beasts of the Beastyard are still there. King Qin's people probably didn't know that there was a beast garden, or they didn't know that it could be controlled by us and used as a weapon, so they didn't destroy the beast garden. ”
"So much has happened, this king is still not at ease, you continue to pay attention, without the pharmacist medicine, we can control the beast for a short time, just arrange for this "army" to exert their last ability as soon as possible, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be useless. When the time comes, so many years of feeding them will be wasted. ”
"Yes, if the King of Shu has no other instructions, his subordinates will arrange it?"
"There is one more thing, you send someone to the west to meet the Feng family master, and tell him that this king needs him to move to the rear of Phoenix Town as soon as possible with the troops behind, and be ready to assemble at any time, and if necessary, the 400,000 army will attack together."
Seeing that Mo Shangxuan had already finished talking about what he wanted to explain, he withdrew to deal with the matter and let Mo Shangxuan be alone. Because of the matter on the side of the poison peak, Leng Ming knew that his master was still angry and hateful.
Forget about the rest, the loss of the poison head, as well as the destruction of the drug stock in the poison peak, is a great loss for Mo Shangxuan. Over the years, many drugs developed by the head of the poison have allowed him to successfully control many things, and now without the head of the poison, it is like losing an arm.
But fortunately, they only destroyed what could be seen and what was not seen, and kept it unharmed, which made him somewhat comforted.
Here, the king of Shu has joy and pain, but there are only doubts in the Qin army camp over there, as long as it is a war led by Wang Qian, let alone a small Shu land, even several vassal states united against the Qin army can not please a little good. This time, only 50,000 men were dispatched, but the proportion of casualties was the highest.
And with a little scratch, people quickly fell to the ground, and some of them even died on the spot. This is something that Qin Jun has never encountered before. When the fighting stopped, Wang Jian looked at the wounds of the dead soldiers and realized that things were not so simple.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Wenmei was also in the barracks, she checked the wounds of the lightly injured soldiers, and after combining the pulses, she concluded that it was not the wounds that were fatal, but poisoning.
When Ying Zheng learned the news, he gritted his teeth in anger. The king of Shu has an antipathy, he can understand that he wants to be independent, a manly man, each with his ability to determine the world, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.
But Mo Shangxuan actually used all the means to achieve his goal, which is unbearable. If this person is not removed, Bashu, and even the world will be uneasy.
"No matter what the price is, destroy the Moshang family for this king."
The first time Ying Zheng said the word no matter what the price, Wang Jian knew that this was the edge of Ying Zheng's extreme rage. If he doesn't get rid of Mo Shangxuan, he won't give up.
"King, in terms of combat strength, Mo Shangxuan's army seems to have no rules, but it also has the power to fight like a grass coward, plus the special weapons they use, our chances of winning are not high, and it will take a month for reinforcements to be at the earliest, and we are likely to ...... during this period."
Similarly, this is also the first time that Wang Jian is so unsure of the war, he only blames himself for his insight and only looks at the surface, thinking that it is not a problem to subdue a mere Shu land, but he didn't expect that he also miscalculated, and the remorse in his heart made him ashamed of winning the government.
"This king knows that we are at a disadvantage now in terms of manpower and weapons, but since this is the case, then we will treat others in the way of others."
Wang Jian turned around in his heart and seemed to understand what to do next. At this time, he didn't care about any benevolent and righteous teachers, since the Shu army did not take the usual path, why did the Qin army stick to morality.
"Meng Tian, pass the order, if the Shu army launches an attack tomorrow, it will be able to take the opponent's weapons as soon as possible and discard your own weapons to counterattack the Shu army."
Before Meng Tian understood the meaning of winning the government, Wang Jian had already ordered the implementation of the meaning of winning the government. When he listened to Wang Qian's order like this, didn't he just govern others in the way of others?
Meng Tian didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out to deploy personnel and make arrangements, since he wanted to grab the opponent's weapons, the forward troops must be people who are flexible in martial arts. As long as the forward force is successful, the odds of victory for those behind are great.
Wang Jian saw that Meng Tian had gone down, turned to Ying Zheng and saluted: "King, I ......"
"Next, pay attention to prevention and deployment, try to avoid the soldiers losing their lives, and let the military doctor cooperate with Princess Wenmei to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng interrupted Wang Qian's words, he knew that Wang Jian was blaming himself. But in fact, it's really to blame, he himself made the same mistake as Wang Qian, thinking that Mo Shangxuan was just not self-sufficient. I thought that he was hiding soldiers and horses, but I didn't expect his methods to be so vicious. However, Mo Shangxuan shocked them even more than that!
Wang Jian knew that Ying Zheng did not mean to blame him. However, the more Ying Zheng trusted him, the more guilty he felt. In order to make up for it, next, his leading deployment can not be careless.
Wang Jian secretly swallowed his guilt and made up his mind that he could not lose to the undisciplined Shu army no matter what. If he is defeated, he will not only lose his own prestige as the leading general, but more importantly, it will cause a serious blow to the overlord of the Great Qin Empire.
What's more, once defeated, if the princes knew that it was Ying Zheng who went into battle in person and was defeated in his own small domain, Great Qin would really become the laughing stock of the world. Not to mention that winning the government is not allowed, and he will never allow it to happen, this is his responsibility as a general.
Perxi had not disturbed them to discuss the matter, and now it seemed that their monarch and ministers could only proceed according to the plan they had just made for the time being. So she opened her mouth and put forward what she thought of, she pulled the fist that Ying Zheng had not let go of on the case, and asked softly: "Brother Zheng, how many secret guards are lurking in Shu now?" ”
Ying Zheng listened to Perxi's voice, and felt her warm hand caressing his stiff fist, and his heart relaxed a little. In turn, he took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you worried about Liu Chang and them? They're already looking for it, they should ......"
"No, in contrast, I don't worry about Sister Qing and Uncle Qing together, they must have some reason why they didn't show up. I asked the number of dark guards to see if there was a way for them to attack Mo Shangxuan from behind, so that we could form a front and rear flank to attack them, wouldn't the odds of winning be higher? ”
Ying Zheng praised Poxi's eyes, and even Wang Jian secretly sighed at Poxi's intelligence.
"Madam, your idea is good, but the Dark Guards are only fifty people, even if they have the ability to use one as ten, I'm afraid it will be useless."
"Then what if we send men from here to the rear of the Shu army to join them?"
"How can this be done, there is the Shu army in front, and there is no way to avoid the Shu army lurking in the rear."
"Yes, there's a way to go."
"How does Madame know there is still a way? I'm sure I've checked the terrain, and there shouldn't be a road, except for the primeval forest to the east that belongs to Badi, but it's not worth the risk if you go there. ”
"It's there, others can't get by, but I can, I can take people through there, and it saves a lot of time."
"Xi'er, no, it's too risky." Ying Zheng was reluctant to let Perxi take the risk, and decisively interrupted her proposal.
"Brother Zheng, I'll be fine, I walked through there, there are indeed a lot of dangerous things in it, but you know, those things can't hurt me."
"I'm not worried that you are in danger in the forest, what I'm worried about is that you enter Shu in case you are ...... by Mo Shangxuan"
"Brother Zheng, is my personal safety at this time more important than that of the entire Great Qin?"
"In my place, you are as important as Da Qin, so whether it is you or Da Qin, I will not risk it."
"Then do you have to sacrifice so many loyal soldiers who worked hard for Daqin in vain? I knew I could help, but for the sake of my own safety, I hid and did nothing? Does Brother Zheng want your queen to be such a person? ”
"Xi'er ......"
"What's more, how can I have something, I have a tiger boy, a secret guard, and the people and horses I brought with me, maybe the uncle will also appear in time, they will definitely not let me have an accident, I will not let myself have an accident, I promise."
Perxi was eager to convince Ying Zheng, and his eyes were both fearless and strong, which made Ying Zheng love and hate in his heart. He loves her strength, but he doesn't love her for him to be fearless, she is fearless, she dares to rush to the most dangerous place to fight against those dark things, so that her chances of being hurt will be greatly increased. Obviously there is danger, how can he be willing to let her risk herself?
is so sometimes well-behaved and obedient, sometimes assertive, and can persevere to the end, she always tugs at his heartstrings, making him faintly have some gains and losses.
"Brother Zheng, promise me, I promise you too, I will definitely come back unscathed, okay?"
Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, Po Xi looked difficult to choose, so he continued to instigate, and took the initiative to lean on his chest softly, and even used coquettishness this time. In this way, winning the government is almost completely unparable. Percy always gives him fresh surprises, and it's the first time to be coquettish like this.
"I know, but if you have a little injury, you will cry and beg me in the future, and I will never agree again, as long as you agree to this condition, this time I will do what you want."
"Okay, I know, I'll protect myself, I'll hide if there's danger, let them go, I won't do anything, just hide."
Po Xi happily kissed his lips, Ying Zheng reluctantly kissed her forehead, and sighed: "I really can't help you, only you dare to be so willful in front of me in the whole world." After speaking, he hugged her tightly.
Wang Jian and the other lieutenants were still in Yingzheng's tent, but they seemed to have been forgotten by the king and queen, and the two of them sprinkled a tent full of honey, so thick and sweet, so sweet that they were all noses.
However, everyone was very happy in their hearts, knowing that their queen was very beautiful, but they didn't expect it to be so beautiful. She could have deigned to take such a big risk for the sake of their soldiers. The king and queen cherish them so much, and follow such a ruler, what else can they ask for, and desperately killing the enemy for Great Qin is the best reward they can do.
"Wang Qian, you go and arrange, don't have too many people, so as not to startle the snakes, as long as it can disrupt their order."
"No, not only is there not a large number of people, but we also have to send the most experienced people in combat and have the ability to be ten people, when we arrive in Shudi, we will go and use the weapons that Mo Shangxuan left in the armory, and we will give him the first and second two to treat his people." Percy suggested a little mischievously.
Ying Zheng looked at another different image of Perxi, and suddenly felt that this image should not appear on Perxi. But this kind of familiarity seems to have appeared somewhere.
Poxi said that he would do it, and after telling Ying Zheng that he was going to find Xuanyuan Wenmei to get some medicine, he went out, regardless of whether Ying Zheng still wanted to keep her by his side.
"Why does this king think that Xi'er has become a little less like Xi'er, like ......"
"Dugu Qing." Wang Jian blurted out that Wang Jian agreed with Poxi's suggestion, but the style is indeed a copy of Duguqing.
"Damn, this king knows that he can't let them get too close, Xi'er has learned badly, and there are more and more ideas." Ying Zheng was annoyed for a while, looked at Wang Qian, and scolded: "You take care of Duguqing in the future, don't let her always take the queen to do some messy things." ”
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, how could Duguqing be under his control, let alone how could he take care of it? If you really want to take care of it, you can only send troops to prevent Duguqing from approaching the queen, which is the only way Wang Jian can think of. But will that work?
Just when Wang Jian had selected 500 men and horses to dispatch to Poxi, the sky was already a little pale. Before they set off in Perxi, the Shu army suddenly launched an attack, although the Qin army was ready, but this time Mo Shangxuan actually dispatched 150,000 troops to attack at a time.
This made almost all the Qin troops go out to deal with the battle, but fortunately, Meng Tian had already deployed all the countermeasures according to Wang Qian's instructions, and adopted a battle plan to snatch the opponent's weapons and counterattack back.
Such a method caught the Shu army off guard, but the two sides were evenly matched. Logically speaking, in fact, there should be no one on both sides who has more advantages, if you really want to talk about advantages, the Qin army should have more combat strength, but in the end, it was the Qin army that fell more. And the Shu army was obviously injured with the same weapon, but it would not lose its combat ability like the Qin army, even if it was just a little scratched. They can still continue to fight, and if this continues, the Qin army will still be defeated.
Seeing that the situation could not wait any longer, the explainer informed Ying Zheng, and she herself took Zhang Ge and five hundred elite soldiers to the primeval forest in the east.
In the end, the second battle ended in defeat for the Qin army. After Xuanyuan Wenmei checked it, he analyzed that the reason why the Shu army was different from the Qin army's damage could only prove that their generals had taken the antidote before the battle.
Since they are weapons, they can be used to hurt people, and others can also use them to hurt them. As long as it is not a fatal injury, they can still continue to fight if they take the antidote, while the side without the antidote will lose its combat effectiveness even if it is a little injured.
Such a result is absolutely not beneficial to the Qin army, and the Shu army always has fewer casualties than the Qin army. In particular, the Qin army was not as numerous as the Shu army, and if it continued like this, the Qin army could not afford it.
In the end, Wang Jian could only give an order, no longer fighting, defend the Qin army's camp, and defend it with bows and arrows as long as the Shu army approached. Try not to give the enemy a chance to cross the defensive line.
As long as they hold out for a day or two, the dark guard and the five hundred elite soldiers brought by Poxi launch a sneak attack on them, and their side can counterattack back in one fell swoop, otherwise, the Qin army will either retreat or suffer more casualties.
Seeing that the Qin army had lost tens of thousands of horses in just two days, Xuanyuan Wenmei and the military doctors could only delay the onset of poison in a short period of time, and there was no way to break through and develop the antidote for a while.
Xuanyuan Daokang also brought hundreds of his own personal guards to join the attack against the Shu army. In fact, he could dispatch no less than 20,000 men and horses, and he was afraid of winning the government and blaming him, so he never took the initiative to send his own defense guards to reinforce him. Now it seems that there is no time to hesitate.
He came to the winning government account and took the initiative to say that he still had 20,000 people to mobilize, and begged: "The king, it is a capital crime for the ministers to keep private soldiers, but if you want to punish afterwards, only one minister will be punished, please let the king let go of the people below, they are just a force when I raise to prevent others from harming the people of Badi, and they are not enough to threaten the Qin State." ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Daokang who was kneeling in front of him, Ying Zheng only said: "Do you think that if this king wants to punish you, he will wait until now?" If you send them over, you will only have merit afterwards, not any fault. ”
Xuanyuan Daokang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but his heart was completely convinced, it turned out that King Qin had long known that he had private soldiers. But it is not surprising that when investigating Shudi, how could the King of Qin not investigate the situation in Badi, if it was not understood clearly, how could the Qin army rest assured that they would camp in Badi, and if there was a problem in Badi, they would directly attack Badi first.
Such an all-encompassing winning government, even if he knew that he had violated Qin law and raised troops privately, he still treated it clearly. In contrast, for him now, it is not so much that he led Badi to attach himself to the power of the Qin State, but that he was willing to be loyal to the charm of the king who won the government.
