Chapter Seventy-Eight: Extinguishing Qi 7

readx;???? The thousands of heavy infantry units of the Western Qi army were simply unable to charge into Wang Li's first defensive formation in the dense array of arrows. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info [first release]

On the contrary, in such a situation, this type of charge cost these heavy infantry phalanx troops quite dearly.

And Wang Li didn't plan to charge directly at this time, on the contrary, he had to stabilize the position of the troops, so as to prevent Tian Rong from seeing a bad opportunity at this time and fleeing backwards directly.

......

Of course, for Wang Li, the total annihilation of Tian Rong's army is actually a very difficult idea, because in Wang Li's thoughts, if Tian Rong has a plan to fight the Qin army at this time, it will be called a strange thing.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also left a backhand, that is, Li Shang, Li Scab and Hou Xu, who were leading 15,000 knights and were interspersed with the area south of Tian Rong's camp.

Even if Tian Rong did escape, even if the other party was able to leave, how many of these Western Qi troops could break and escape, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that the other party would be able to lead more troops to escape.

And in Zhang Jiashi's heart, there is another thought, that is, whether it is the Western Qi army or the Chu army that will be faced next, they are no longer able to stop the great cause of the Great Qin Empire to unify the world again.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

The battle on the front line continued, and Tian Rong was actually more concerned about the situation on both flanks.

He is not the kind of person who has wine bags and rice bags, otherwise he would not have waited for these evaluations of future generations:

Bangu: "The Zhou room was bad, and by the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes were exhausted, and the descendants of Yan, Huang, Tang, and Yu still had quite a few survivors. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, and the ancient relics were swept away. On the occasion of Chu and Han, the king of Haoji, only Wei Bao, Han Xin, and Tian Dan brothers were the old country, but they were all extinct. Hengzhi Festival, guests Muyi, still can't stand on their own, isn't it heaven!"

Sima Zhen: "On the occasion of Qin Xiang, the world is fighting. The Six Nations Tree Party, self-imposed heroes. Tian Dan died, and the city was honored. Chu Feng Wang fake, Qi Po Lisheng. Brothers are kings, and the islands are sounding. ”

Wang Shizhen: "Whew! In ancient times, there must be the virtue of a king, and those who end in a meritorious service must have the body of a minister, and the body of a minister is huge in talent and small in heart, and he is not far away, but he can also protect and have no virtue, and his material is not a minister." If they are male, they will be Xiang Yu, Yuan Shao, and Li Mi, and if they are conceded, they will be Han Xin and Rong Ye. ”

But it is true that he has no control over the situation of the battle.

This matter was not his fault at all in his heart.

Because if it weren't for the fact that his brother Tian Dan almost lost the main force of Qi in the war with Xiang Yu, and in the past few years, their Qi State has experienced military disasters and natural disasters, I am afraid that he would not need to use this kind of force that cannot be effectively controlled at all to fight.

After he and Tian Heng killed Tian Jiao and others, they did not think about devoting themselves to restoring national strength, and even bowed down to Xiang Yu at the expense of humble words.

This is more because they see it very clearly, that is, Zhang Jiashi is their biggest enemy.

It's a pity that Zhang Jiashi won't give them more time to rebuild the country's national strength and armaments. In particular, the dispatch of troops in this spring ploughing season is more of a surprise blow to a country like theirs that mainly recruits peasants and soldiers to fight.

They were indeed careless, because this is not the first time Zhang Jiashi has done this. Whether it was last year's Minzhong County operation, or Zhang Jiashi's Eastern Expedition a few years ago, we can see the corresponding clues.

And they thought that Zhang Jiashi would not launch a large-scale offensive against them at this time, which in itself already meant that the trend of the battle had made them lose control of many things.

For them, this is the result of carelessness.

But even so, he, Tian Rong, would not easily flee from this place, because he knew very well that he had no way to retreat.

In fact, Tian Rong knew that Xiang Yu had promised to personally lead the army to reinforce him and Tian Heng in private.

But he had a bad feeling, that is, he couldn't see the moment when Xiang Yu's reinforcements arrived.

And if Tian Rong knew that his own feeling was quite correct this time, I am afraid that he would not be so firm in his idea of sticking to this place.

And he looked at his son Tian Guang, and sighed helplessly in his heart: "Perhaps, this is the last time our Chen regime exists." ”

He didn't know how long this time would last, but one thing he knew very well was that under the offensive of the army under Zhang Jiashi, whether it was him, Tian Heng's Eastern Qi, or Xiang Yu's Western Chu, I am afraid that in the end, it will only be reduced to historical dust......

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

In this battle on April 5, 202 BC, neither Zhang Jiashi nor Tian Rong thought that they would not be able to distinguish the winner.

However, for Zhang Jiashi, this point is not in a hurry. Because he knew very well that as long as Tian Rong's army was still in this place, then he would always have a chance to completely annihilate Tian Rong's army.

In today's battle, the biggest gain is not the killing and wounding of nearly 20,000 Western Qi officers and soldiers, but the further control of the trend of the battlefield.

But what Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that in the next few days, Tian Rong actually hung up the exemption card even when the grain road was cut off.

This situation can be said to be quite strange for the people on Zhang Jiashi's side, but after thinking about it for a long time, after Zhang Jiashi discussed it with Sun Po and Li Zuoche, he thought that Tian Rong was delaying time.

Why did Tian Rong delay his time even though the grain route was cut off? Expecting their own grain and grass consumption to be unable to support it and retreating? Of course, this idea is impossible. Whether it is Zhang Jiashi, or Wang Li and others, no one thinks that Tian Rong will be naïve to this point.

And why did Tian Rong make this decision?

Quite simply, Tian Rong thought he could have enough reinforcements to do so.

This idea made Zhang Jiashi even more suspicious, that is, Tian Heng should be too busy to take care of himself now, and the only country that has spare strength to support Western Qi or Eastern Qi is the Chu State.

In the end, whether Xiang Yu would take the risk of supporting the two Qi countries, Zhang Jiashi didn't know about this situation. But Zhang Jiashi knew one thing very clearly, that is, if Xiang Yu thought that his lips were cold, then it would not be strange that he would support the two countries of Western Qi and Eastern Qi.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Xiang Yu didn't know that once he sent a large number of troops to reinforce Western Qi and Eastern Qi, the defensive strength of Chu would not be enough for the Chu army to resist the offensive of the Qin army from Nanjun, Hengshan and Minzhong to the Chu region.

Whether Xiang Yu didn't know that he also targeted the Chu State, Zhang Jiashi thought that this was unlikely, because the Chu State should have relatively clear information on this aspect.

These messages are basically accurate, and they were ordered by Chen Ping to be disseminated.

Zhang Jiashi thought that there was no need to hide in this kind of matter, because he really wanted to take advantage of the Chu State, so it was better to take advantage of the situation of the Chu State to concentrate his forces and launch reinforcements against the two Qi States.

After all, Xiang Yu would not fail to see the risk of easily mobilizing troops under such a strategic encirclement.

But for many considerations, after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiashi inquired about the civil and military forces under his command:

"If Xiang Yu really reinforces the Qi State regardless of the consequences, then in what direction will the other party march from?"

After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Li Zuoche pondered for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if Xiang Yu is really so reckless, then the other party is very likely to launch an offensive against the Jimo region. ”

After Li Zuoche said this, Li Xin and the others nodded one after another, because for Zhang Jiashi, with the defense of the Great Wall of Qi, even if the Chu army wanted to directly reinforce Western Qi, I am afraid it would not have a sudden effect.

After all, no matter how bad it is, the army under Zang Tu's command can still do this kind of thing.

The Jimo area is different, because the current Jimo area is more like an enclave.

In such an area, even if it is a warning, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the corresponding effect.

Fortunately, Zhang Jiashi had already warned Zifu and Wenle, as long as these two people were not too careless and did not take his orders seriously, even if Xiang Yu wanted to raid the Jimo region, I am afraid it would be difficult to do so.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

For some time afterward, no large-scale fighting broke out in the entire combat area. But whether it is Zhang Jiashi vs. Tian Rong or Du Cong vs. Tian Heng, the small-scale friction between the two battlefields is still constant.

According to the scout's report, whether it was Tian Rong or Tian Heng, there were many deserters in the Qi army under the command of the two.

But what Zhang Jiashi cared about was whether the Jimo region would really face a surprise attack by the Chu army as they had guessed.

......

On April 14, 202 B.C., on this day, a large marching queue of the Chu army was found in several small cities on the outskirts of Jimo.

According to Fenghuo's prompt, the Chu army that attacked the Jimo region had at least 60,000 troops.

After knowing this situation, Zifu and Wenle quickly made a judgment, that is, to quickly withdraw the defenders of the outer cities to Jimo, and then defend to the death.

During this period, Zifu and Wenle used a lot of means to drive the residents of Jimo out of Jimo City directly, because in many ways, Jimo was quite large, and the city fortifications were not quite strong, in such a situation, Zifu and Wenle could not expect to be able to hold this large city in the presence of moles.

After all, the troops under their command are about 20,000 people, and they may be able to have enough troops just to defend Jimo City, but if they want to be distracted by other things, these troops may not be enough.

......

Xiang Yu looked at Jimo City in the distance, as well as the abandoned outer cities, he was very interested in the commanders of these Qin troops, because these peripheral cities could give up decisively, in a sense, it was a kind of commander's decisiveness.

Of course, Xiang Yu would not praise the other party at this time, because he led his army to this place, naturally he wanted to defeat or even take advantage of the fact that the opponent's Lou Chuanshi troops did not react, and encircled and annihilated these Qin officers and soldiers in the Jimo area.

But judging from the current situation, Xiang Yu is very clear about one thing, that is, since the defenders have been prepared, even if they want to attack Jimo, I am afraid that there will be no corresponding effect.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yu said to Xiang Zhuang beside him: "Let the troops choose a dangerous place to camp, we will rest tonight, and then launch an attack on Jimo tomorrow." ”

Xiang Zhuang was very obedient to Xiang Yu's words, after all, the relationship between them was almost like that of brothers.

But Xiang Zhuang also had a thought, that is, Xiang Yu should not agree to Qi Guo's request for help at this time.

Because he knows one thing better, that is, the other party's envoy is certainly reasonable, but he will not forget Fan Zeng's warning before he died:

"If Qin Gou launches a fierce attack, we can still fight with Qin Gou if we preserve our strength, if we divide too many troops, we will only be broken by Qin Gou, remember to ......"

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of Tian Rong and the Tian Heng brothers, and after the other party killed Tian Jiao and the others, he was certainly condescending to Xiang Yu, but he himself knew that Tian Rong and the Tian Heng brothers lacked loyalty to Xiang Yu.

His jealousy of the Qin army came from the Battle of Julu, because in that case, Zhang Jiashi of Liaodong was able to collect the remnants of the Northern Frontier Army under Wang Li's command, and then develop the battle into a draw with heavy losses between the two sides, which was also the reason why Xiang Zhuang was deeply jealous of Zhang Jiashi.

And Xiang Zhuang knows very well that it is not only him, except for a few children of families who think highly of themselves who can make contemptuous remarks against Zhang Jiashi, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Long Ji and others are also deeply jealous of Zhang Jiashi.

After all, the other party was able to get to this point, but it was not just luck that could be done.

And even if the other party still relied on luck to get to this point, it is even more terrifying.

After all, luck is something that can really make many people feel very mysterious.

What made Xiang Zhuang feel helpless was that after Long He and others were defeated and died, Xiang Yu's Xichu was full of incompetent, greedy and immoral people like Xiang and Xiang He.

This situation has intensified, especially after Fan Zeng's illness and death.

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang is very clear about one thing, that is, although he has the intention of dying for Xiang Yu, it is obvious that the current Chu State has reached the point where the medicine stone is ineffective.

He shook his head, looked back at the Jimo city wall in the distance, and lamented in his heart: "Perhaps, I will die in this place too...... Long Ji, Zhong Lifu, you may see me soon, too......"
