Chapter 549: The Chu army was ambushed
The sky gradually turned dark, and Bai Yan sent Tian Wei all the way to the Zishui River.
Standing by the riverside, after bidding farewell to Tian Wei, looking at the back of Tian Wei crossing the river and leaving, Bai Yan thought of Tian Wei's repeated advice, and couldn't help but think of the figure of Jin Gong in his mind.
Although Jin Gong is no longer there, but Qi Guo owes Jin Gong the justice, Bai Yan said that he would find a chance to get it back for Jin Gong no matter what, so that he would live up to the grace of Jin Gong's three-year teaching.
As for the thoughts of Tian Wei, Tian Ding and others.
Bai Yan could only shake his head regretfully, the Qin State had already destroyed the Korean, Zhao, and Wei states, and the Yan State had already existed in name only, the Qi State and the Chu State could not stop the footsteps of the Qin State, and the unification of the Qin State was doomed.
At this time, Tian Ding and Tian Wei were still thinking about how to fight against the Qin State, which would only increase the danger to Tian Fu.
As Fang just said to Tian Wei, it will only be a disaster for the Qi State to take in the Chu army, and this matter, Tian Fu's participation in it, will only bring disaster to Tian Fu.
Tian Ding wanted to use Jiuding's matter to separate him from Yingzheng and let him return to Qi.
Tian Ding would never have thought that the Jiuding he sent to Xianyang and dedicated to Yingzheng was the real Jiuzhou Ding.
In Bai Yan's heart, no matter whether the Qin State will repeat the mistakes of the past and perish in the future, during the period when the Qin State ruled the world, offending the Qin State means that he is bound to lose everything, whether it is status or power.
And once they lose their status and rights at the same time, their former political enemies and former rivals will rise up and surround them.
Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State, understood this truth, the general of Qi State Wuhe also understood this truth, and even the Chu general Nongyue also understood this truth, so they finally chose to take refuge in Qin State before the Qin State soldiers came to the city, in order to continue to have rights and status in the future.
Let Tian Sui come and meet.
Not only did Bai Yan use Tian Wei, but more importantly, Bai Yan didn't want to see Qi get involved in the attack on Chu, and he didn't want to see Qin annex Qi in the future, and Tian Ding would end up like Jin Gong.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yan turned around and said to him.
Coming to the side of the war horse and turning over the horse, Bai Yan glanced at the direction Tian Wei left again, watched Tian Wei's back disappear into the haze, and kicked the horse's stomach with his heel, drove the war horse, and rushed towards Qufu.
However, this time, Bai Yan did not go to Qufu, but from the road to Qufu, along the way, he turned to the direction of Mengshan, passing through Shengcheng and Suqiucheng.
Late at night.
Bai Yan had just arrived in Shengcheng, and Huai, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting at the city gate, and when he saw Bai Yan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"General!"
"General!!"
As he pecked at Bai Yan and saluted, the other iron cavalry soldiers also saluted Bai Yan one after another.
The Chu army fled to the Qi State, and Qufu and all the surrounding cities had fallen into the hands of the Qin State one after another, and this prosperous city was one of them.
"Is there any news of Mengshan?"
Bai Yan turned over and dismounted, looked at the pecking and asked.
"Back to the general, there is no news yet!"
Peck shook his head and said, and then instinctively stepped forward and led the horse rope for Bai Yan, as the person who was selected by Hu Jin to protect Bai Yan, peck, Huai, and Ye were all pioneers, and unlike Ye, the ancestors of Peck and Huai were all veterans who fought with Bai Qi.
This is also the reason why Hu Jin trusts and pecks.
And now, both of them have been reused by Bai Yan and become school captains.
Enter the city.
Shengcheng is not a big city on the map of Chu or Qi, but as the place where Chu and Qi meet, Shengcheng's population registration is still frightening.
After the fall of Korea, Zhao, and Yan, Shengcheng ushered in the first large population increase, and when the Qin State attacked the Wei State Liang, Shengcheng instantly ushered in a population explosion.
Along the way, Bai Yan looked at the many restaurants on both sides of the street, Bai Yan didn't expect that even in such a remote place, it was still like this, compared to the Shangjun and Yanmen that Bai Yan had been to when he was in the Qin Kingdom, this was a stark contrast.
This also made Bai Yan sigh that as the hometown of Confucius and the culture of the hundred schools of Qilu, whether it is the scholars or the voice of the people, it is really not comparable to the Qin State and the Zhao State.
In the mansion.
Bai Yan came to the study with a peck and looked at the map.
On the map, although it is very simple, with only some simple lines and a few names of marked places, it can still be clearly seen that in the country of Qi, all the territory of the country of Qi can be divided into four areas: gentle depressions, plains leading to Linzi, mountain areas, and hilly areas.
The most gentle terrain is in the south of Linzi, north of Mount Tai, that is, the territory between Mount Tai and Linzi, and this gentle terrain plain is all the way to the west, from the border of Qi to the south, to the depression between Qufu, and then from Qufu south to Chu, or from the west to Wei Taoyi.
And beyond this plain and depression, there are mountains and hills, such as the road between Yangguan and Qufu, to Mengshan, you have to pass through the south of the Taishan Mountains, and finally lead to the Mengshan and Nishan mountains.
This is also the most distinctive place of Qi country, the west of Qi country, whether it is southwest or northwest, is a gentle land, either a plain or a depression, and the central and central south, Taishan Mountains, Mengshan Mountains, Culai Mountain, Lu Mountain, Yi Mountain, this mountain range, is the natural barrier of Qi country.
Further east along the Mengshan Mountain of Qi is between Mengshan Mountain and Wulian Mountain, the last road leading to Qi.
The mountain road leads to Jucheng, and along the way, from arriving in Jucheng and then passing by the Yishan Mountain Range, it is all hilly land.
For a long time, Tian Wei is sitting in the Yishan camp, guarding Muling Pass, in order to prevent Chu from wanting to attack Qi from the direction of Jucheng, once Chu has this idea, there is an army under Tian Sui's command, Qi can rely on its hills and mountains, block the Chu army, and even encircle the Chu army.
"General, if the Chu army goes south, there is only one road in Mengshan, General Yang Yan has already led the elite cavalry to be stationed in Mengshan, once he sees the Chu army fleeing from Mengshan, he can immediately ambush the Chu army!"
Peck said to Bai Yan, and told Bai Yan the location of the entire army now.
"Peck, tomorrow you immediately lead the troops and go to Mengshan with me, and you must give the head of Chu General Jingfang to Qi Cheng on this trip!"
When Bai Yan heard the words of pecking, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there was the matter of Wei State in front of him, and the Qi State had always been friendly with the Qin State, and the Qi army and the Chu army were already wary of each other.
Now it depends on whether he can get his wish and get rid of the veteran Jing Fang of the Chu State.
"No!"
Peck stared at Bai Yan's words, without the slightest hesitation, and hurriedly gave the order.
Mengshan.
The sound of horses' hooves rolled, and at a glance, countless soldiers of the Chu State holding the flag of the Chu State kept running behind the messy Chu horses, for fear that if they ran slower, there would be no hope of escaping at that time.
In this regard, some Chu pawns who couldn't keep up with their physical strength even threw away the clothes and armor on their bodies and the Changge in their hands.
For this move, the generals of the Chu army knew the consequences, and they had no time to take care of it, because the generals of the Chu army were in chaos, and they were worried that they would fall behind, and once they fell off the horse, they would probably die.
"General, the Qi army has been killed, and the last general is willing to stay and block the Qi army! The general hurried over Mengshan! ”
Chu General Nong Yue rode a war horse, looking at the distant sky behind him, the cavalry of the Qi army had already been killed, and saw that Mengshan was already close in front of him, so he hurriedly rode his horse to the old general Jing Fang, and said.
"Thou shalt beware!"
The old general Jing Fang naturally also noticed the Qi State cavalry chasing behind him, and when he saw Nong Yue's words, the old face was full of worry and said.
Looking at Nongyue, the veteran Jing Fang's heart was full of emotion at the moment.
He has always been the most important general Xiao Jiliang, but he didn't expect that at a critical time, Nong Yue was so impressive, if he had known that Nong Yue was such a loyal person, what Jing Fang said, he would have to take Nong Yue with him to cultivate.
"General rest assured!"
Nong Yue arched his hand at Jing Fang.
The other generals of the Chu State also looked at Nong Yue with admiration, as generals, they were not people who were afraid of death, but looking at Mengshan close in front of them, in their hearts, they actually wanted to leave alive.
After all, after passing through Mengshan, you will have the opportunity to return to Chu State, drink and enjoy yourself again, and have a comfortable life with a beautiful woman in your arms.
If you don't die, no one wants to die here.
Right now, seeing that Nong Yue volunteered to stay, all the generals of Chu State were very silent, as if they were deaf and dumb, and watched Nong Yue restrain their war horses.
In the army of the state of Chu.
"Stop! Passing on my order, all the soldiers and soldiers stopped and immediately stopped the army of Qi! Whoever dares to run away again, kill! ”
Nong Yue reined in his war horse and ordered all his cronies to stay with his subordinates, and anyone who violated the order would be killed directly.
Under Nongyue's orders, those cronies of Nongyue have reined in the war horses, in the past, these cronies followed Nongyue, received Nongyue's favor and gifts, and have been enjoying themselves, and at critical times, they are naturally not afraid of death.
Under the threat of drawing swords from his cronies, after killing some soldiers who disobeyed the order, soon, all the soldiers under the command of Nongyue in the past, whether they were armed or not, did not dare to flee again.
"Get out of the way!"
Nong Yue looked at the old general Jing Fang, who had already fled into the Mengshan Mountains with the rest of the Chu army, and then turned around and asked his cronies to get out of the way.
Looking at the rolling army of Qi State, Nong Yue said in his heart that it was false not to be nervous, after all, this was a matter of life and death, but thinking of Bai Yan's plans and promises when he saw Bai Yan before, Nong Yue held back the uneasiness in his heart.
The sound of a rider in the sky was heard.
Looking at the Qi army that was getting closer and closer, Nong Yue slowly pulled out his waist sword and sword, and looked at the number of soldiers beside him, there were at least more than 3,000 people, and the cavalry who caught up on the opposite side was only 5,000 people.
Nong Yue also has some confidence in his heart, at least even if there is a slight change in the plan, it can drag on for some time here.
Looking at the Qi State cavalry in the distance, they all stopped, Nong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, right now, it depends on who is leading the troops on the other side, if there is a change, see if this place can be delayed for a longer time.
Mon Shan Nei.
All the escaped soldiers of the Chu State, after following the veteran of the Chu State Jing Bian, entered Mengshan, and hurried in its narrow ancient road, due to the bad road, the war vehicles have been replaced by Jing Bian, and they are replaced by the war horses of their cronies.
Suddenly, the old general Jing Fang rode a war horse, walking and walking, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"General, what's wrong?"
When a general of the Chu State saw the old general stop, he also reined in his war horse and asked with doubts.
"That's not right!"
The veteran Jing Fang looked around Mengshan, said softly, and shook his head, for some reason, the old general Jing Fang seemed to have noticed it, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Due to the stoppage of the main general, the other generals and generals of the Chu State naturally did not dare to run in front without authorization, and they all stopped for a while.
The originally noisy movement quickly quieted down as the soldiers of the Chu State stopped.
Look around at the quiet.
The veteran Jing Fang suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and before he could speak, he saw that suddenly, whether it was the top of Mengshan Mountain or the surrounding Mengshan dense forest, countless soldiers of the Qin State suddenly poured out.
A black flag with the word Qin, dense Qin pawns holding Changge and Qin crossbows poured from all around.
This scene.
made all the officers and soldiers of the Chu army look frightened.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
Seeing all this, the veteran Jing Fang was full of despair.
The other Chu generals also looked around in horror, drew their swords one after another, and protected the veteran Jing Bin with their cronies.
"General, retreat!"
A general looked horrified, knowing that he was lucky today, and now he only hopes to fight his way out of the encirclement.
As soon as the words fell, I saw that on the top of a mountain in Mengshan, with a general of the Qin State wearing Qin State clothes and armor and being followed by many Qin State soldiers, he made a gesture, and the next moment, a black spot seemed to appear in the sky, and then, arrows fell like rain in the sky.
"Kill!"
"Kill !!"
Seeing the dense screams of the soldiers of the Chu State screaming and dying in the surrounding area, one by one the generals of the Chu State hurriedly roared angrily, leading their cronies to cover the old general Jing Fang to escape from this place.
Among the many soldiers of the Chu State, with the killing of the soldiers of the Qin State, under the bows and crossbows and arrows, at a glance, in the chaos, all the scenes of the Chu soldiers being shot and killed.
The Chu pawns who were still alive were in despair, and they also launched a breakthrough one after another, and the Qin pawns were scuffled together, and the sound of slashing and killing with the Changge blade could be seen everywhere, and in the chaotic footsteps, more and more corpses fell to the ground.
In the face of the Qin army, which was still besieging and besieging, most of those corpses were soldiers of the Chu State.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
One by one, the Chu soldiers on horseback kept holding swords, slashing and killing the Qin soldiers who blocked the way, and more and more Chu horses were stabbed off their horses by Qin Changge, and then hacked to death by random knives, even if they were not dead, they would be surrounded by Qin soldiers, and they would no longer be able to leave on horseback.
And the veteran Jing Fang, escorted by many Chu generals, and under the sworn death of these Chu cavalry cronies, he killed the Qin army alive.
However, before they could escape far, they saw that just under the valley in the rear, a Qin cavalry suddenly appeared, killing them violently.
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
The cavalry of the Qin State was violent, and soon they were killed in front of the Chu cavalry, and the Chu cavalry who had just been killed by the veteran Jing Fang alive, faced the Qin cavalry that came at a gallop and killed the Qin cavalry in front of them, and before they could resist twice, they were picked off by Chang Ge one after another.
One after another galloping war horses roared past, and in an instant, the Chu cavalry soldiers who had just killed many Qin soldiers died tragically and fell to the ground one after another.
Even those panicked generals of the Chu State were slashed by a Qin sword in panic, and finally slowly fell under the war horse, and in the eyes of the veteran general of the Chu State, Jing Bian, he looked at a Qin general who was riding a war horse, holding a Qin sword, galloping towards him.
The veteran Jing Fang did not pull out the sword at his waist, he knew that it was difficult to escape death today, and it was better to die calmly and decently than to fight the trapped beast.
But right now, in the eyes of the old general Jing Fang, he still doesn't understand why the Qi State still has to ally with the Qin State so far.
Thinking of the matter of the fake Ding, the veteran Jing Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Qi State, do you really think that if Bai Yan returns to Qi, Qi State will be able to compete with Qin State alone?
Seeing that Qin was approaching in front of him, the sharp blade had already been raised, and the veteran Jing Fang closed his eyes unwillingly.
Outside the Mengshan Mountains.
Just as Nong Yue led his subordinates to confront the cavalry army of Qi State, suddenly, whether it was Nong Yue and the soldiers of Chu State under his command, or the cavalry army of Qi State opposite, they saw that countless Qin State iron cavalry suddenly galloped in the distance.
In this scene, whether it was the soldiers on the side of the Chu State or the people on the side of the cavalry of the Qi State, they were all in a riot.
Then, under the gaze of all the Qi State cavalry, I saw the iron cavalry of the Qin State, surrounding Nong Yue and others.
Nong Yue was not surprised when he saw this scene, seeing that everything was going well, he could finally throw away the sword in his hand.
Seeing this, the cronies beside Nong Yue glanced at each other, hesitated for a few breaths, and then dropped the swords in their hands one after another.
Nong Yue looked around, but did not see Bai Yan, Nong Yue knew that Bai Yan should go to get the head of the veteran Jing Fang at this time, and then he would give it to the generals of the Qi army.
