Chapter 338: The Battle of the Dragon
Yucheng, a small and inconspicuous city.
The Qin State did not repair this small city, if it were not built on the Weishui River, there would not even be a moat.
No one ever thought that someone could attack the city of Yucheng, which was seventy miles away from Xianyang.
And it was around this small city that this joint battle broke out for the first time in a large army.
When the Zhao-Chu coalition army besieged Yucheng for half a day, and the city was about to fall, Wang Jian led the Xianyang garrison, the Lishan battalion, and the county soldiers of Neishi, totaling 210,000 and 200,000 Zhao and Chu coalition troops.
Although the strength of the Qin army was superior, 60,000 of the Qin army were county soldiers, although after two months of training by Feng Zheng, the foundation was there, and it was unrealistic for a group of county soldiers who originally only needed to maintain local law and order to break out into the combat effectiveness of the regular army.
And almost all of the elites under Pang Xuan's command are the elites of Zhao and Chu, 50,000 Zhao Bianqi from Daidi, 50,000 Zhao State Heavy Armor Corps, 40,000 Tenglong Legion, 30,000 Shadow Tiger Legion and 30,000 Thunder Leopard Legion, almost all the elites of Zhao and Chu are pulled out to accompany Pang Xuan.
In the face of Pang Xuan's attack, Wang Jian was indeed a little tired of coping, but he tried his best, and the Qin army still fell into disadvantage.
Looking at these elite legions fighting on the battlefield, Wang Jian secretly made up his mind that after this battle, he would also ask Ying Zheng for orders to establish an elite legion.
It's not just a matter of combat effectiveness, even if these elite legions are temporarily surrounded under his command, they will not fall into any panic, but will easily break through under the command of the commanders of each legion.
On the other hand, those county soldiers of the Qin army, once they fell into a siege, they would panic and waver.
These garrisons in Xianyang are no better, the original elite Xianyang garrison is long gone, and the soldiers inside have changed round after round, almost reduced to honor guards and county soldiers, and they don't have such strong combat effectiveness at all.
It's okay to deal with ordinary soldiers or those disciples who are in Changyu, but if you deal with these elite legions, it's not a level at all.
The soldiers of the Lishan battalion have not been trained over the years, and they have accompanied the Duke of Qi to the east several times, and they are also elite soldiers who have been fighting for a long time.
If it weren't for the Lishan battalion to carry it, this battle would have been untenable.
But Wang Jian was not in a hurry at all, the Qin army could hold out for at least an hour, and his own reinforcements ......
Wang Jian was still thinking about how long it would take for the 200,000 Qin troops in the Lantian camp to arrive, when a Qin army appeared from the south on the edge of the battlefield.
The black oppressive Qin army soldiers slaughtered towards the left flank of the Zhao-Chu coalition army, and Meng Fu commanded more than 100,000 black-armored iron troops to wear cold iron masks and advance silently, only the sound of uniform footsteps and the crisp vibration of the armor leaves, like a god of death holding a long sword, came to the world to silently harvest the life of the enemy.
And Meng Wu led 3,000 Mengjia golden fire cavalry, as well as tens of thousands of Qin iron cavalry, to the rear of the Zhao-Chu coalition army, and went straight to Pang Xuan of the Chinese army.
Meng Fu rode his horse and stood on the hill, watching the Thunder Leopard Legion of the coalition army caught off guard for a moment under the surprise attack of the black-armored iron army under his command, but he quickly regained his composure, even under the attack of the Qin army led by Wang Jian and the black-armored iron army under his command, he always held on, and his face was solemn.
"General, Meng Tian asks for battle!"
Meng Tian looked at the 600,000-person battle on the battlefield, although his heart was calm, he was a hot-blooded boy after all, and he was a little ready to move.
A big battle of 600,000 people, I don't know how many times I will meet it in this life, if I miss it...... Meng Tian really didn't want to miss such an experience.
The high-spirited fighting intent in Meng Tian's eyes was naturally noticed by Meng Tian, and he couldn't help but shake his head, and reprimanded sharply: "The old man taught you to be calm on weekdays, have you learned to be in the belly of a dog?" ”
"Remember, Great Qin does not lack generals, but commanders!"
"The old man and your father trained you like this, not to let you learn from Wu Huo and Meng Ben to be a fierce general, but to train you to be a commander who is enough to command the overall situation!"
Meng Tian lowered his head, and his enthusiasm fell silent in an instant under Meng Tian's reprimand.
Meng Wei glanced at Meng Tian, who was a little lost, and snorted coldly: "Qianchang Meng Tian listens to orders!" ”
"This general ordered you to lead two thousand golden fire cavalry to help the black-armored iron army break through the enemy's left flank defense, there must be no mistake!"
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists with joy on his face and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the battle situation was not going well, the old man didn't have the energy to rush to kill at his age, otherwise he wouldn't need you, a hairy boy, to fight."
Meng Tian smiled, didn't say anything, and led his troops to attack with Meng Tian's order.
Looking at Meng Tian's posture of riding a horse with a halberd in his hand, a smile still appeared on Meng Tian's solemn face.
For this eldest grandson, Meng Fu is actually quite satisfied.
He was good friends with the King of Qin, had the merit of saving the driver, and made friends with other generals, and was also appreciated by Wang Qi.
Whether it is martial arts, or the art of war and temperament, he is the most outstanding among the children of the generals of the Qin State of the same age.
But everything is afraid of comparison!
Compared with Li Xin, Qiang Yan, Ren Huan, and Tu Ju, Meng Tian is superior in any aspect, but if compared with Zhang Ji......
Others don't know the details of this battle, but Meng Fu, as the general of the Qin State, naturally knows everything.
From the beginning of obtaining the strategic policy of the coalition forces, to the allocation of troops and the list of generals and schools of the coalition forces, all of them are the credit of Zhang Ji.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.
Zhang Ji found out all the intelligence of the coalition army clearly, if it wasn't for Zhang Ji to find out Pang Xuan's strategic policy in advance, Qin might really face the danger of annihilation this time, so he was already the first contributor to this battle.
In Hedong, the means of military power and strategy, military situation, and military skills were brought into full play.
The 3,000 Yulin cavalry defeated the 15,000 Wei army, which not only held Hedong, but also caused discord among the Wei generals, and recruited the Wei army's deputy general Jin Yao and his 8,000 Wei troops, which severely damaged the morale of the Wei army.
Then Zhang Ji also entered the Yan camp in person, persuaded Yan Chunjun and Yan Prince Dan to defect, and cut off the back road of the Zhao Chu coalition army.
With these three great achievements, after this battle, the Qin State may have one more general in his twenties.
Of course, this is also Zhang Ji.
With the favor of Ying Zheng and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, most of the senior generals of the Qin army also sent their children and grandchildren under their command and would not hinder his promotion.
In addition, Zhang Ji originally held the position of guest secretary, and the guest secretary was the same as the head of Zuo, if he became the doctor of Qin after this battle, then he would become a general of Qin instead of rising, so Zhang Ji would definitely be able to get the general of Qin.
Such a young general!
Thinking of his own unstable grandson, a war of 600,000 people can make him unable to suppress the blood in his heart.
After the defeat of the coalition forces in this battle, there will be no obstacle to the road of Great Qin to the east to dominate the world.
At that time, if you want to destroy the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, will there be a lack of such a war of hundreds of thousands of people?
Even if all the countries are wiped out, there are Sushen, Donghu, Linhu, Xiongnu, Yueshi in the north, Baipu in the west, Baiyue in the south, and there are many alien races, I don't know how many big wars are waiting for these young people, but they only focus on the current battle.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved."
It's just that no matter how much he belittles Meng Tian in his mouth, but looking at Meng Tian's brave posture of leading the Golden Fire Cavalry with a halberd to tear apart the defense line of the Thunder Leopard Legion, the corners of Meng Tian's mouth can't help but curl up.
