The source of the water is deserted, the cliffs are towering, and the grass and trees under the mountain are abundant. A small stream gushes out of the mountains and winds its way down. There are almost no roads on the way, and the strange rocks are craggy, bumpy and difficult to walk. Wang Ji and Sima Jin had already shifted all their logistical baggage to Yi, one direction was to lightly equip the troops, and the other direction was also to confuse the Korean army. At present, the front army and the Chinese army are all capable combat units, and there are almost no logistics personnel and donkeys, horses and other livestock, otherwise, it is really difficult to move an inch on such a road!

After Hu Yang and Wang Di arrived, they discussed with Sima Jin all night, and the next morning Sima Jin took 5,000 people to explore the road under the guidance of the guide; Half a day later, the second 5,000 men set out again.

Although the road is difficult to navigate, fortunately the road is smooth, and due to the steep slope of the mountain, there are no people on the way. But once the mountains are gentle, there are clusters of towns on both sides of the river. When the people saw such a large army suddenly descending from the mountain, they rang their drums and bells in unison, and alarmed each other. Sima Jin decisively ordered an official doctor to lead his subordinates to quickly rush out of the valley mouth, so as not to give the enemy a chance to block the valley mouth. Hu Yang saw on the mountain that the residents of the various yi rushed out of the yi and the fields, and at first they wanted to gather together to resist, but when they saw that the Qin army had rushed to the front and his companions were far from arriving, he made a coax and ran backwards. Those who ran slower and those who fell halfway were stabbed with spears, but no one cut their heads, and the others all ran out of the valley. Sima Jin sent people back, urging the rear army to hurry up, and also took the remaining Qin soldiers to speed up the pace of advance and hurried forward.

Outside the valley was a large settlement with a small city. Although the alarm in the valley did not work in the valley, it gave the cities outside the valley time to react. By the time the Qin army had rushed through the valley, all of them had gathered in the city, each with his stick, ready to resist.

After the official doctor rushed out of the valley, he also saw the city two or three miles away, and he only had 500 men, obviously unable to attack the city, so he only held the main road at the valley mouth to cover the large army out of the valley. When the people of the city saw that the enemy army did not come with them, they also calmed down; While beckoning the people who had escaped from the valley to assemble at the edge of the city, they sent people to report to the rear.

It was sunset. The townspeople, who had been expecting a little rest and dinner after a hard day's work, fell into a panic for no apparent reason. Now, after the initial panic, after settling down a little, I felt hungry, and then suddenly remembered that my wife, children, and food were all outside the city, and my heart was mixed, and many people cried bitterly. However, someone quickly shouted: "Silence! ”

Sima Jin led his men and horses all the way down the mountain, and only sent one official and doctor 500 people in each city to maintain law and order in the valley, and the others quickly drove out of the valley and set up ten camps inside and outside the valley mouth, the farthest one was a mile away from the city, and occupied almost all the nearby settlements, which was a little reassuring. By this time, it was already dark.

After Sima Jin An went down to the camp and stabilized his position, he immediately sent people to urge the people of Yi to cook food for the army. So incense wafted everywhere outside the city, rushing straight into the city, causing a commotion among the people defending the city. The leaders in the city saw that Sima Jin only occupied Juyi and set up camps, and was not in a hurry to attack the city, and it seemed that the number of people was almost the same as that of the defenders, and they were probably unable to attack the city without preparation, so they also ordered the people in the city to cook porridge for the people defending the city, which calmed the people's hearts a little.

As soon as Sima Jin came out of the valley, he did not rest, and quickly found that the strong men who had escaped from the valley did not enter the city, but gathered outside the city, and there were about a thousand people. While cooking outside the city, he also saw a fire in the city, and he was probably cooking. So he went into a barracks and ordered the officer to lead all his men to attack the tribe outside the city. Although the official doctor was tired and received the order from Sima Jin personally, he did not dare to argue, and immediately beat the drum to gather the troops.

Sima Jin mobilized: "We have traveled thousands of miles, and we have a merit? Not yet! Now there is a level, you should take it, and return it to be full! Huh? The Qin soldiers struck the ground with their handles and shouted loudly.

Sima Jin pointed to the people gathered at the edge of the city and said, "Do your best!" ”

The official doctor beat the war drums, and the Qin army marched forward in order.

The sound of drums and shouts here has already focused the attention of both the enemy and us. The people who were stationed outside the city fled from the valley, and they ran wildly all the way, and when they reached the city to breathe, they were already hungry and thirsty, and they were physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing that the Qin army pointed the spearhead of the attack at him, he turned pale with fright, and he didn't even forget to act. The Qin army approached step by step to within 100 steps, and with a shout, the arrow was released, and everyone screamed, scattered and fled, and was already shot down. The people who were shot down screamed, some stopped to help, and a second group of arrows whizzed, followed by a third...... The rest of the people no longer cared about others, and ran wildly into the depths of darkness as if they had no feet.

The Qin army rushed up, and a massacre unfolded right under the noses of the defenders.

The makeshift camp was right outside the city, and those who were wounded and didn't have time to flee were stabbed over and beheaded! Exclamations, wails, screams...... The sonic earthquake dome rests for a long time...... The defenders of the city were all paralyzed to the ground, and many vomited.

The Qin army did not take the opportunity to attack the city, and after killing the people who had fled from the valley, the battalion of Qin troops returned to the camp almost unscathed.

After dinner, Sima Jin sent someone close to the city, called the city lord to go to the city to reply, and ordered the city lord to open the city and surrender, otherwise the city would be opened tomorrow and all of them would be beheaded. The city was already panicked, and almost everyone had lost the courage to fight against the Qin army. In the middle of the night, the city was noisy, and the sentinels came to report that the city was in chaos, and the city lord opened the east gate and fled eastward; The people in the city, Zhang Huang, were at a loss and fled in all directions. Sima Jin only had 5,000 people in his hands, and the backup had not yet arrived. He ordered the whole army to beat the drums and attack, and only sent 500 men to occupy the city, while the others all bypassed the city and pursued the fleeing city lord. On this night, the sky was dark, and the city lord went out of the city relatively hidden, and the pursuit was fruitless, only to slaughter the people who had no time to flee far. Perhaps for fear of alarming others, or for other reasons, the city lord did not destroy any buildings before fleeing.

Due to the darkness of the sky, the terrain of the Qin army was not familiar, and they were afraid of encountering ambushes, so only Sima Jin chased and killed three or five miles before Mingjin collected the troops, and the armies still returned to the camp, and only the officials and doctors who were assigned to occupy the city led 500 people to defend on the spot. The torches burned high in the city, illuminating the city for miles outside; Five hundred men were on guard in the city, but they took turns to be on duty, while the others sat on the city and slept; The official doctor personally led his own camp of 50 people to patrol back and forth in the city, searching for hidden people.

Sima Jin's other 5,000 men arrived in the middle of the night, by which time the battle was completely over. When the bus heard about the excitement of this half day, he regretted that he only stumbled! He set out in the afternoon, in the middle of winter, and it was dark halfway through, and although the march by night with torches was not as smooth as during the day, and it was much more difficult to take care of the front and back than during the day. Although they even ate fried millet while walking, they did not completely descend the mountain until midnight.

The strength in the valley has been basically wiped out, and it is useless to have too many troops here. Sima Jin did not allow the public to rest, let them cross the city, and then march ten miles east to set up camp. The public said: "The soldier died of hard work on the way, please rest in the valley for a while." ”

Sima Jin thought for a while and said, "The bus can rest in the valley, and you can choose to go east with thousands of elite soldiers." “

Gong Cheng said: "How dare the minister, I wish to send it immediately!" “

Sima Jin ordered: "Beat the drum and gather the crowd!" “

The drums of "Knock Dong" sounded in the valley, and the weary soldiers rose from the ground and regrouped in ranks.

Sima Jin and the public passenger stood on a slightly higher platform in front of the square, and Sima Jin said loudly: "Gongshi, Shangzao, hairpin out of battle!" “

The three men of the rank in the procession stood up one after another, according to their original battalions, in front of the whole formation, five phalanxes, about two thousand people. Sima Jin asked the public to assign a public doctor, an official doctor, and a doctor to these 2,000 people, and temporarily organized into a force. Sima Jin said: "The rest of the battalions of the governor of the public are temporarily resting in the valley, and you will go out with me to fight!" “

The public passenger hurriedly said: "Please lead the army to battle!" “

Sima Jin said: "Our army must explore the way forward for the whole army, and beware of thieves and secret attacks." Thou hast thou hast thou hast thou hast been victorious against the “

Gong Cheng said: "If you can't win, please behead me!" “

Sima Jin said: "Take a break in the valley and fight again!" “

Gong Cheng said: "I heard that the five doctors were undecided to go down the mountain, and they broke the strong enemy and attacked the city and pulled out the camp." Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to follow it! “

Sima Jin said: "In this case, I am willing to make meritorious deeds!" “

Sima Jin handed over the remaining 3,000 people in the valley to another public attendant, and he and the public passenger set off with the 2,000 people.

When he came to the city, Sima Jin divided the troops into two groups, one to the east and the other to the south, to explore the road respectively. He was in the camp outside the city and waited for the army to return.

Soon, the south branch returned, and in front of it was a long mountain with no road to explore. There are gatherings at the foot of the mountain, and there are more than 1,000 households. Sima Jin ordered him to go to the city for a while and strengthen his vigilance. After a while, the eastern branch also sent someone to report, ten miles ahead is a valley mouth, and there are countless settlements outside the valley mouth. Sima Jin rushed over and found that the valley mouth was about two or three miles wide, and there were countless townships outside the mouth. Sima Jin was a little puzzled, could it be that this is the outskirts of Handan? He immediately rejected this idea: if this was Handan, the movement just now would definitely immediately attract a large number of Zhao troops, and he would not let himself run amok. Moreover, the escape of the castle lord proves that there is no strong support force nearby. He resolutely set up camp in a gathering outside the mouth of the valley. In order to prevent accidents, he called his own battalion to the vicinity of Taniguchi overnight as a support force. By the time all this was settled, the light had begun to emerge in the East. As the drums in the city sounded, the battalions lined up one after another. The rear of the Chinese army is now in front, and Sima Jin takes it as a forward deviation.
