Chapter 3: Encirclement and Suppression Operations

Wang Ben is the son of Wang Qian, one of the four war kings of Qin, and this time he was ordered by the king of Qin to cooperate with Zhao Han, the son of Bai Yi, who was also one of the war kings, to encircle and suppress the Yiqu of Heilongtan.

Because the Black Dragon Pond is foggy all year round and is rarely exposed to sunlight, it is difficult for this place to produce high grain and grass.

Although Wang Ben's army brought a lot of military pay on this trip, it was better to fight quickly and make a quick decision. If you live here, you will not only face the problem of difficult to grow food, but also the problem of difficult storage of materials.

The mountain roads are rugged and bumpy, difficult to transport, the forests are dark and damp, and it is not easy to store grain and grass.

Whether Yiqu or Wang Ben's army wanted to live here for a long time, whether the food demand was sufficient or not would be the primary problem they faced.

The soldiers in this battle mainly obeyed Wang Ben's orders, Wang Ben was the main one, and Zhao Han was the auxiliary.

In order to prevent the future war kings and the descendants of the heroes from becoming dominant, the king of Qin began to disintegrate them from his descendants. Regardless of whether the combat mission is difficult or not, the chief and deputy generals will be sent to cooperate with each other and restrain each other.

Wang Ben led the army to camp under the Black Dragon Pond, planted the black military flag, set up a simple tent, and took Zhao Han and the elite soldiers into the camp tent to discuss the battle plan.

The plan is to send excellent soldiers to take advantage of the moonlight to disguise themselves to go to the Black Dragon Pond Mountain to survey the terrain on the spot, and record in detail the approximate number of people on the mountain, the geometry of the dens, and the patrol law. When the front-line soldiers brought back the information, they took advantage of the situation overnight, and the Yiqu henchmen were caught off guard.

After the battle plan was discussed, Wang Ben returned to his camp, everything was ready, ready to go to the Black Dragon Pond Mountain to kill all sides.

The Qin army became more brave and good at fighting after the Shang Dynasty changed the law to encourage military merit, and the Shang Dynasty stipulated that the soldiers of the Qin State could obtain the first-class title "Gongshi" as long as they temporarily obtained the enemy's "armor" (enemy officer), a field of land, a house, a servant, and the more heads were killed, the higher the title.

In order to "get promoted", the soldiers will desperately kill the enemy soldiers, and bring the heads of the enemy soldiers back to the barracks as evidence of the promotion. Therefore, this time the encirclement and suppression of Wang Ben is still confident, with the topographic map and the elite troops as the hole card, Wang Ben is bound to win the Black Dragon Pond.

As soon as Wang Ben left on his front foot, Zhao Han brought his cronies to his camp, and this cronie Wang Erma was also one of the people who went to Black Dragon Pond to explore the terrain this time.

Don't look at Wang Erma's name to get two stupid and two stupid, he himself will not be paralyzed by the general's thoughts at all. Wang Erma has his own ideas and ambitions, although Wang Ben has strength and background, he always feels that Bai Qi's hidden strength in all aspects is better. Now there is no chance to get close to Bai Qi, so he plans to start with Zhao Han, the son of Bai Yi, and after gaining Zhao Han's trust, I believe that there will always be a chance to get close to Bai Qi.

"Take this token here to find a person named Chen Nan, he knows what to do" Zhao Han handed over a jade plate engraved with a dragon totem to Wang Erma in one hand, and held a piece of animal skin with a detailed map in the other. This animal skin is integrated with Zhao Han's clothes, the map is on the inside, and there is fur to cover it, if it is not for the people who are leaning on each other and undressing together, it is impossible to discover this secret.

Since Yiqu can live here permanently, it means that they have found a suitable place to live and solved the problem of food and clothing.

Chen Nan, the leader of Yiqu, is a person who is inconsistent inside and outside, with a rough appearance and a taste of a Northeast man, but his heart is delicate and full of resourcefulness. He has a dark complexion, a tall and strong body, a height of 1.9 meters, a high nose bridge, deep eyes, heroic sword eyebrows and a handful of mustaches full of masculinity. Chen Nan climbed step by step from a small minion to the position of the leader, he endured all the hardships, was brave and strategic, and his hands were covered with blood.

Yiqu intermarried with the Qin people hundreds of years ago, in order to achieve the purpose of refining his laws and understanding his words, and tried to use the Qin palace as the center to disintegrate the Qin forces from the inside out.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, Qin Guoyiqu has more and more eyeliners, ranging from small merchants and hawkers in the market, to eunuchs and palace maids in the palace and even officials of the imperial court.

In order to penetrate the enemy, Yiqu Guo colluded with many court officials, or gave coins, rare treasures, or married women, and various means emerged one after another. Among them, the biggest coffee position is none other than Bai Qi, and the descendants of the King of Yiqu promised that as long as Bai Qi was willing to cooperate, he could help him rebel if necessary.

The Qin State has always thought that the Yiqu Kingdom has been destroyed, and only the remnants of the Yiqu Dynasty in Heilongtan are left, but the fact is that the Yiqu people are not only not extinct, but also spread all over the place, and even the original Yiqu King fled in the war. Before the incident, some cronies changed into the king's clothes in advance, and then lit a fire, while the king of Yiqu changed into civilian clothes and fled in a hurry under the maintenance of a group of guards.

When Empress Dowager Xuan saw the charred corpse, she mistakenly thought that the king of Yiqu was dead and that the country of Yiqu had perished. In fact, all that was seen was an illusion, and only the land and the sacrificed soldiers and civilians were destroyed from beginning to end.

"Report! The front came to report, and a Qin person came with jade in hand" The Yiqu soldiers hurriedly ran to Chen Nan's dormitory to report, but unexpectedly bumped into Chen Nan and the concubines were making love, and the soldiers hurriedly turned around and prepared to go out. The women hurriedly covered their jade bodies, and Chen Nan tidied up his clothes casually.

"Come in," Chen Nan yelled at the door. The Yiqu on the Black Dragon Pond inherited the bad tradition of men and women before the Qin Dynasty's Shang Dynasty changed the law, father and son were in the same room, there was no difference between men and women, and the concept of women's names was vague.

"This is handed over by the enemy" The soldier's hand trembled and spread his palm, for fear that Chen Nan would be angry because he had collided with a good deed.

"It's not an enemy army, it's a friendly army, please"

The "No" soldier only made promises, and after a few resignations, he withdrew from the door.

Looking at the jade engraved with a black dragon totem, Chen Nan fell into deep thought: in the early years, when Qin Wengong went out hunting, he once captured a black dragon, and this is the symbol of water virtue among the five elements. Therefore, the rulers of the Qin state considered themselves to be water virtues and admired water, and the corresponding symbol color of water virtues in the five elements was black.

"Send the black dragon, it seems that the king of the Qin State is going to attack us," Chen Nan frowned and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Wang Erma greeted him with a smile on his face.

"General Chen, look up for a long time" Wang Erma arched his hands.

"You're welcome, please take a seat" Chen Nan stretched out his arm to make a "please" gesture.

"Hurry up and serve refreshments," Chen Nan instructed his subordinates.

"No need, I'll just take the words and leave."

"Although General Zhao told me to bring things to me, what I want to inform me is that the Qin army plans to attack overnight, and it depends on General Chen how to deal with it."

"Great grace is not thanks" Chen Nan sent Wang Erma out of the mountain and hurriedly gathered his troops.

Due to their well-trained peacetime, the Yiqu Army assembled and dispatched troops so quickly that it covered all parts of the Black Dragon Pond Mountain in half an hour. On weekdays, even during the day, his wife and children have to walk for more than an hour to go up the mountain, which shows the strength of this righteous canal army. The Yiqu army did all kinds of evil, and they robbed homes just to bury the Qin monarch, and by the way, they were used as troops to drill and hoard food.

Chen Nan made an exclusive gesture, and with an order, the Yiqu army rushed to the Qin army camp. This sudden blow made the Qin army powerless, but he didn't expect the Qin army to be encircled and suppressed.

Wang Ben rushed to the front of the battle, fighting to kill the enemy. There were many injuries on his body, blood stained his clothes red, Wang Ben ignored it, the tingling sensation came from his body, and he still raised his sword and fought wildly. Just when he was about to lose the enemy, a horse suddenly rushed from afar, and the man on the horse was armed with a bow and crossbow and shot the soldiers in front of Wang Ben.

"General, get on the horse"

At the critical moment, Wu Yin, one of Bai Qi's guards, rushed over.

Wang Ben hurriedly got on the horse, and Wu Yin drove Wang Ben all the way to gallop on horseback, but he was finally caught up by the pursuers. Wu Yin put a crossbow on his back, drew an iron sword, and pushed Wang Ben off his horse.

"General Hurry Away"

Wu Yin rushed into the enemy without looking back.

Leaving Qingshan is not afraid of no firewood, Wang Ben understands Wu Yin's good intentions. Glancing ahead, he desperately fled in the other direction.

I don't know how long it took, but I climbed many stairs and saw several courtyards. Wang Ben was already exhausted due to excessive blood loss, and he casually pushed open a door and fell to the ground.
