readx;?? Two days later, Tian Heng led an army of 50,000 to rescue Tian Shi and the others, as well as the Qi army. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][].. [>
However, Tian Heng and Tian Rong also discussed before they set off, that is, it is very likely that their reinforcements will not be able to play the corresponding role.
I have to say that the abilities of these two people are indeed much stronger than Tian Shi, Tian Du, and Tian Jiao, who are quite old.
Because of the conjecture of Tian Heng and Tian Rong brothers, nothing wrong happened.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
On November 22, 205 BC, shortly after Tian Heng's army left Linzi, Zhang Jiashi personally led 20,000 reinforcements to Nguyen Weng Shao's camp.
After deliberation, Zhang Jiashi decided to launch an offensive against the Qi army entrenched in the vicinity of Yuan County and Yangwu County.
What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that he would mobilize reinforcements from more than ten cities in Rongyang and Zhongmu, and there would be a situation that Zhang Jiashi himself did not expect.
That is, in Zhang Jiashi's heart, there is the main force under him and Ruan Weng Thiao in the east, and Han Xin and the Yingbu Department urgently transferred from Guanzhong in the south, even if the garrison in the Rongyang area is evacuated, it will not be a big problem.
Before leaving, Zhang Jiashi transferred the city defense equipment of Rongyang, Zhongmu and other garrisons to Han Xin's command, because Zhang Jiashi himself was not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
But Zhang Jiashi himself didn't think that there was a Han Guang, who could be called a "cockroach life", and he actually led the remnants of less than 3,000 people, and one day after Zhang Jiashi left Rongyang, he occupied this empty city that actually had nothing to save.
Although Rongyang is also a strong city, but after Han Guang closed the gate of Rongyang, he discovered one thing, that is, there are not even many people in Rongyang......
And the huge amount of grain that should have been stored in the treasury was less than a hundred stone left. It is simply impossible to maintain the long-term consumption of these rabbles under Han Guang's command.
Not to mention the large amount of ordnance supplies, which are now running out of steam.
This made Han Guang almost not spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Later, Han Guang, who kept cursing Zhang Jiashi for being unkind, naturally didn't expect that his swearing would have no effect on Zhang Jiashi at all, let alone that if Zhang Jiashi knew about Han Guang's swearing, he would be quite happy. Because he would directly respond to Han Guang's thoughts with contempt:
"You idiot, who would leave a lot of supplies or even ordnance in an area that is not defended by troops? β
......
After Zhang Jiashi knew that Rongyang was occupied by Han Guang. couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and after knowing that the other party didn't seem to have left for a long time. It's even more incredible.
Because what are the benefits of occupying an empty city for Han Guang?
Not to mention food and materials, even the civilians in Rongyang City, under the war and the spread of epidemics, there are few living people now. It can be said that those who were able to leave have already left.
Zhang Jiashi shook his head and said to Chen Ping in front of him: "Prime Minister, this is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and after we lead the army to defeat the Qi army, Han Guang will be like this rat...... Descending from the lone army, he became a praying mantis that blocked the chariot's advance......"
Chen Ping heard Zhang Jiashi's words. I couldn't help but smile slightly: "What the king said is very true. β
Chen Ping knew very well that Zhang Jiashi's words might be arrogant, but he couldn't deny one thing, that is, Zhang Jiashi had this arrogant capital.
A fortified city with insufficient troops and weapons cannot even compare to a fortified city with a well-developed defense system.
And as Zhang Jiashi said, what they need to face now is not a clown like Han Guang. Rather, it seems that the Qi army, which is already quite weak.
After Zhang Jiashi solved the more than 60,000 Qi officers and soldiers, Han Guang wanted to use Rongyang to resist Zhang Jiashi's offensive, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On November 25, 205 B.C., the weather turned cold.
At this time, Zhang Jiashi decided to launch an offensive against the army.
Because of the weakness of the Qi officers and soldiers, the two Qin army units that had no logistical worries. With nearly 100,000 horses, it was the right time to launch a fierce attack on the Qi army at this time.
......
According to Zhang Jiashi's tactical arrangement, their two Qin army units basically launched a fierce offensive against the Qi army at the same time.
Under such an arrangement, Zhang Jiashi did not arrange too many battle formations or anything, but let the commanders under his command choose the most suitable combat plan by themselves.
An army under the command of Zhang Jiashi. Commanded by Li Xin himself, Zhang Jiashi did not mind getting acquainted with the demeanor of the only remaining famous general of the Qin State Unification War.
And Nguyen Weng Thieu naturally commanded the army of his subordinates by himself.
In terms of Zang Tu, the officers and men under Zang Tu's command have basically been equipped with new types of ordnance, and the level of combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Although the officers and men under Zang Tu's command still look quite rusty in terms of formation training, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men under Zang Tu's command is not too weak, and many of them are the officers and men of the original Liaodong Corps, and the problems in coordinated operations do not have much impact.
Therefore, in many ways, Zhang Jiashi muttered something that made Chen Ping and others happy:
"If you can lose this battle, you don't have to mess around!"
Zhang Jiashi's words are indeed a bit funny, but Zhang Jiashi's words also clearly state the fact that the Qi officers and soldiers who are stationed in Yangwu County and Yuan County are now estimated to be half starved to death, and their morale is estimated to have been greatly affected.
If the physical strength and will to fight are almost at the highest level, and the Qin army troops whose combat effectiveness is also a few streets away from the Qi officers and soldiers, they can lose, Zhang Jiashi really doesn't have to fight for hegemony in the world, just go home and wash and sleep.
......
At the same time as the Qin officers and soldiers went to the two places, some scouts of the Qi army had already discovered this situation. However, they did not rush to report back to Tian Shi and the others, but after thinking about what they should do, they quickly rode their horses away from the area of Yuan County and Yangwu County, and fled south.
The scouts under Su Teng's command naturally would not let go of such a good thing, and many times, these fleeing Qi army scouts were caught up by the Qin army scouts before they had not run too far away.
In terms of horses, although the war horses of the Qin army are not much different from the war horses of the Qi army now, there is a very important influence on the endurance of the mounts under the crotch of the Qi army scouts. That is, the war horses of the Qi army have also significantly reduced their endurance after a long period of lack of concentrate feeding.
Moreover, the equipment of many Qi army scouts and their own strength cannot allow them to directly confront these "peers......
The almost one-sided pursuit and slaughter opened the final curtain of this Qin-Qi war......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
The distance between the two small counties of Yuan County and Yangwu County is not too far, but the two small counties are naturally unable to accommodate more than 60,000 officers and soldiers of the Qi army.
Therefore, most of the Qi officers and soldiers still relied on the two cities as the core area and built a large barracks.
But what Zhang Jiashi himself didn't expect was that the situation of Qi Jun was much more serious than he thought.
A large number of Qi officers and soldiers who were besieged and starved for about five days. Looks weak.
In fact, Zhang Jiashi didn't think about if the Qi army forcibly broke through. What should he do. In the end, let Zang Tu and Su Teng open a passage for these Qi officers and soldiers to return to Qi, or let Zang Tu and Su Teng resist the breakthrough of the Qi army, and then Ruan Weng Shao then led the army to chase and kill and flank the other party.
Zhang Jiashi was quite confident in the field combat ability of the officers and men under his command, and the retreat of the Qi army in such a situation would also cause unstable morale.
If Zhang Jiashi didn't mind the casualties of Zang Tu's army and Su Teng's officers and soldiers, if these Qi officers and soldiers wanted to break through and leave their lives in this land, Zhang Jiashi would still be confident that he could do it.
But when the time comes, will Zhang Jiashi do such a thing? It doesn't matter anymore.
Because even Zhang Jiashi himself didn't expect that the Qi army would be trapped in Yangwu County and the area around Yuan County.
"Kill yourself, you won't die if you don't die!"
While Zhang Jiashi said this sentence in his heart, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
......
In fact, it was not that the Qi officers and soldiers were unwilling to break through, but that Tian Jiao and others thought that the Qin army had too many knights, and the Zang Tu army blocked their way back to Hedong County. Once they break through, they will die even worse.
If Zhang Jiashi knew that Tian Jiao and the others actually had such an idea, he didn't know whether he should say that the other party's idea was correct or wrong.
After all, at this time, Zhang Jiashi would be quite hesitant to fight with the Qi army, because the lives of the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command were far more precious than these rabble.
Merely. It's too late to say anything now, when Tian Jiao and the others received that the Qin army really launched an offensive of front and back, even if they wanted to escape, they might not be able to break through with a large number of officers and soldiers.
After quickly finding the city, Tian Jia and Tian Du instigated Tian Shi to lead their personal guard troops to break through from the south of the original county.
Tian Shi was very moved by the suggestion of the two, but then he also thought of one thing, that is, the Qin army also had a large number of knights. Relying on whether their guards could escort them to successfully break through, Tian Shi had little confidence.
And after Tian Du and Tian Jiao glanced at each other, they couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, once we miss the opportunity, we will never be able to return to Linzi." β
After hearing the words of the two in unison, Tian Shi quickly made a decision, that is, they led the troops of the guards and knights from the south of Yuan County to return to Hedong County.
...................................................... Dividing line .............................................
Su Teng did not directly participate in the battle against the barracks, which he negotiated with Zang Di.
After all, what the knight troops under his command lack is the ability to attack fortifications in a corresponding manner.
Therefore, in the arrangement of attacking the Qi army camp from the east, the army under Zang Tu became the main force.
As for what Su Teng is doing now?
The main thing is to scatter the knight troops under his command in some hidden places near the roads or ferries that can be relatively close to the road or the ferry.
Su Teng did not disperse the army under his command too much, but divided it into four detachments, each defending an area or setting up an ambush in a nearby area.
However, Su Teng's caution was superfluous, that is, a group of Qi knights who were almost in a panic, escorting a team of chariots and a rather luxurious carriage, advancing directly from the nearest road to Hedong County.
Stationed in this area was a lieutenant under Su Teng, who led two thousand knights to ambush in the woods on both sides of the road leading to Hedong County.
Before the Qi army arrived, the captain quickly sent people to his comrades from other places, and he was thinking about whether he should act.
The situation of these Qi knights did not seem to be as weak as those Qi scouts. And there are almost three thousand people.
This was a situation that the lieutenant had to worry about.
But soon, this lieutenant made a judgment, that is, in order to improve his position, maybe he could take over the position left by Su Teng after being promoted to general, this lieutenant made his own life gamble.
......
There are relatively dense woods in this place, which makes Tian Jiao and the others have to raise their vigilance.
But they didn't notice anything different on the periphery of the woods. Directly let this group of Qi army guard cavalry troops continue to advance from the road.
It's just that. Their carelessness has created the fate they will face.
After this group of Qi knights rushed into the path in the woods, the Qin military captain did not give the order to shoot immediately, but waited for the best opportunity.
The scouts he sent out, the situation reported should be quite accurate.
That is on that rather luxurious carriage, it should be the commander of this team of Qi troops, the current prince Tian City of Qi State.
It is true that the credit for capturing the other party alive is greater, but what this Qin military captain thinks is the head of this prince of Qi State. Maybe it's the best qualification for him to be promoted.
He had his knights of the guard shoot at the carriage, and he had to wait for them to get into the best range.
......
Tian Shi was indeed sitting in the carriage, and Tian Jiao and Tian Du were a little helpless about this matter. Because of this kind of obvious goal, as long as you are not blind or an idiot, you will know who you should trouble first.
But Tian Shi didn't listen to Tian Jiao and Tian Du's well-intentioned advice, but instead said a sentence very directly: "I think, if these guards can't even protect the prince." I'll let my father dispose of them. β
After hearing this, Tian Du and Tian Jiao showed a wry smile, but it was because Tian Shi said such a sentence that Tian Du and Tian Jia did not advise each other again.
So, now sitting in the carriage, I hugged the delicate body of a beautiful folk girl I caught on the way to the army. What I didn't expect was that I would die under the random arrows.
......
More and more Qi knights passed in front of the lurking Qin knights, and without the order of the captain, the bows and crossbows in the hands of these Qin knights did not fire the arrows.
However, after that carriage came into the sight of the lieutenant and the dozen knights around him......
"Put !!"
A dozen arrows were fired at the wagon under the captain's roar.
This luxurious carriage is mainly constructed using wooden planks. In such a case, many of the arrowheads of these metal arrowheads, at a distance of less than a hundred meters, shot directly through the weak planks on the side of the carriage.
However, what even this Qin military captain himself didn't expect was that the knights in the vicinity under his command actually had similar thoughts to him......
After a dozen arrows were fired, more and more arrows were fired at the carriage.
From the outside, there were more than a dozen arrows that failed to penetrate the baffle, and counting the dozens of arrows that were shot on the body of the charioteer, it is conceivable how many people regarded this carriage as a target.
And after Tian Shi was shot in the body by several arrows, what he saw was the folk girl in his arms, her head was pierced by an arrow, and the folk girl with round eyes couldn't even seem to scream.
As Tian Shi was about to shout something, more and more arrows shot directly through his satin brocade and into his body.
And Tian Shi's last consciousness was to see his body fall on the top of the carriage......
......
Tian Jiao and Tian Du, who were walking in front of the army, couldn't help but look at each other in horror after hearing the continuous screams coming from the rear.
They naturally knew very well what was going on, and they let the knight troops rush through this road quickly to avoid this problem.
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Tian Du couldn't help but look at Tian Jiao beside him, hoping that the other party could give him an idea.
Tian Jiao's life experience is much thicker than Tian's, and although his ability is not very good, he knows very well that even if they are out of danger now, returning to Linzi is a dead end.
After thinking of this situation, Tian Jiao said to Tian Du: "Let's go to Xiangji!"
"Why? And what should we do on the prince's side?" Tian Du was reluctant to give up Tian Shi at this time, but spoke his mind.
Tian Jiao glanced at his nephew, and said angrily: "Tian Du, that idiot in Tian Shi is no longer saved, we return to Linzi, do we want to be killed by this bastard Tian Dan?"
"This ......" Tian Du was silent for a while, and decided to follow Tian Jia's suggestion, leading the knights who rushed out of the woods and quickly advanced in the direction of Dangjun. Because if they return to Hedong County, it may still be a dead end.
......
Tian Jiao and Tian Du led less than a thousand knights to rush out of the ambush area of the Qi army under Su Teng, and Tian Shi and the remaining knights, except for about 500 people who surrendered, most of the others, in the woods or in the subsequent pursuit, became dead souls......
