Chapter 429 On the Northern Front, the Mengwu army stopped at Langya County. The enemy relied on a tributary of the Yellow River to block several attacks by Mengwu, who lost nearly 30,000 horses and could not cross the Yellow River.

Don't underestimate a tributary of the Yellow River at that time, which was also extremely rich in water. Now the two armies are facing each other at Shengrendu, a tributary of the Yellow River, and no one can cross the river to attack, so they can only call for battle across the bank.

However, after more than ten days of fighting, Meng Wu's old illness relapsed and fell ill all of a sudden, but fortunately, the enemy army did not know about this situation, otherwise the Qin army would be extremely dangerous.

Six days later, Meng Tian personally rushed to the battlefield and was relieved to see that his father could barely get off the ground.

"Dad, are you alright?" Before Meng Tian's armor could be removed, he hurriedly went to support Meng Wu.

"It's okay, it's an old problem, the last time I was in the south, it was even worse than this time. By the way, how did you get here. Meng Wu said slightly weakly.

Meng Tian said: "After Your Majesty knows that your father is sick, let me take over your command, and then send you back to Xianyang to recuperate." ”

"Good boy, it turns out that I came to rob my father of his exploits." Meng Wu said with a smile.

"Father, your body can't go to war anymore." Meng Tian said worriedly. Meng Wu sighed and said, "Alas! When you are old, you want to go out with your grandfather for your father, and every time you take the lead, you return to the camp with the blood of the enemy, but now you are not as good as you young people. ”

"Father, don't say that, your body is still very tough, and if you recuperate for a few years, you can still continue to work for Daqin." Meng Tian said.

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Meng Wu said: "Since you are going to take over the command of your father, then there are some situations here, and your father still has to talk to you. This matter was originally handed over to the deputy general, Meng Wu could rest well, and when his health was better, he could return to Xianyang, but Meng Wu still insisted on explaining the current situation to his son Meng Tian.

"Now the two armies are facing each other, but no one can help the other. At present, there is no way for the father to break this deadlock for the time being, or it will be delayed until winter, when the river is frozen, and the army can cross the river, otherwise the losses will be too heavy. Meng Wu said.

"The enemy has 150,000 troops, and our army is now 100,000, and it is indeed impossible to cross the river. General Yang Ruihe is now almost purging other places, and if the troops are united, our army will have more than 200,000 troops, but it is still not superior. Meng Tian rubbed his forehead and said.

Meng Wu said helplessly: "If His Highness is here, maybe he can come up with some way, but it's a pity that our general who quells the chaos doesn't know where to go now." Meng Tian smiled helplessly when he heard his father's words, because now even His Majesty doesn't know where His Royal Highness has run away with his troops.

After looking at the map for a long time, Meng Tian suddenly said, "My son has an idea. ”

"Tell me about it." Meng Wu suddenly looked at Meng Tian curiously. Meng Tian said: "After Yang Rui and the general clear Jiaodong, take a boat into the rear of Langya County. ”

"This is too risky, in this case, it is better to divide the troops and attack from Xue County." Meng Wu said.

"However, if you attack from Xue County, once the enemy army in the east goes north, it will form a flanking attack on our army, and the risk is still huge." Meng Tian frowned and said.

"But at least there's room to withdraw to Xue County." Meng Tian coughed several times as he spoke.

"Father, are you alright?" Meng Tian hurriedly supported his father.

"It's okay, it's just the wind blowing in." Meng Wu waved his hand and said. Meng Wu said: "No matter what you choose in the end, you have to wait for Yang Rui and the general to come out, and at this time, there are at least ten days left to go, plus the time to rest, that is, the time of the fifteenth day." Meng Tian nodded and said, "Father, I'll help you go to rest first." ”

"Hmm." Meng Tian said as he walked: "Also, you have to be careful of the Wei soldiers of the remnants of the Wei State, although this Wei Wushu is only half-hung now, but it is also not to be underestimated, it is difficult for ordinary infantry to be the opponent of these half-hangers, seeing these half-hangers, directly charge the battle with cavalry, don't let them run." ”

"They actually trained Wei Wushu, it seems that there are capable people in the army opposite." Meng Tian frowned and said.

Meng Wu smiled and said: "What capable people are, they are all a bunch of waste, and they can train Wei Wushu because they dug up Wei Wenhou's tomb and found a training method from it." There are only finished products, except for a little Wei Wuqi, the equipment and morale are too bad. ”

"I didn't expect that Wei Wenhou's descendants would personally dig up his tomb, if Wei Wenhou knew about it, I don't know how he would feel." Meng Tian shook his head and said.

"Whatever he thinks." Meng Wu sat on the bed and said: "Only 50,000 Wei warriors were trained in the heyday of the Wei State back then, and now they can train 3,000 Wei warriors, I'm afraid they have done their best." In our army, there are 20,000 heavy-armored infantry soldiers and 10,000 heavy-armored iron cavalry, which has far surpassed the Wei State back then. ”

"Father, lie down and rest first, and I'll go and inspect the barracks." Meng Tian covered the quilt for Meng Wu and said.

"Okay, there you go." ······ On the other side, after Qin Xi led his army into Donghui, he did not shoot directly, but hid in the mountains and forests, looking for targets.

Since the wolf cavalry could not attack the city, Qin Xi could only find Xiang Liang's supply line to destroy, but it was obvious that it was not so easy to find Xiang Liang's supply line in such a large Donghui County.

In the mountains and forests, Zhao Yi stood beside Qin Xi and said, "Your Highness, our grain and grass are running out of enough, so we can't continue to consume it like this." ”

"Xiang Liang, this old thing has learned well, it seems that the south of Donghui can't stay, so let's prepare to go north." Qin Xi said.

"Going north?" Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment. Qin Xi said: "The war in the south is quite favorable, and we don't need our support for the time being. So I'm going to go north. First, it can help the war in the north to break the current stalemate, and second, if there is a problem with food and grass, our army can directly enter Xue County to replenish. ”

"Since His Highness has made arrangements, then listen to His Highness's arrangements." Zhao Yi said.

"Of course, we can't just leave without doing anything." Qin Xi smiled: "Before leaving, give Xiang Liang some more eye medicine." A day later, the figure of the wolf rider suddenly appeared in Donghui County, at this time Xiang Bo had just returned to Donghui with his troops, and after learning the news, he hurried over, but the result was still empty, and the wolf rider had already disappeared.

But the wolf rode still left something behind, which made Xiang Bo extremely angry after seeing it. Qin Xi carved a greeting to the Xiang family on a big stone, and it was not a greeting with a lot of dirty words, but a sincere greeting.
