Chapter 93: The Battle of Fushui

When Hu Yang withdrew from the camp, he could already see the banner of the chief general of the Zhao army clearly from the morning light. He was not in a hurry, maintaining the phalanx and slowly retreating. Then he heard the drumming stop, indicating that the Zhao army had entered the camp fence left by the Qin army and stopped advancing. Hu Yang saw that the Zhao army was not chasing fiercely, so he let the rear camp relax a little and moved forward in a marching column instead.

On the way, he met a pro-camp sentinel sent by Wang Di. Hu Yang knew that Wang Ji and Sima Jin's pro-camp were in the front, so he let go and let the team of sentry scouts guide the front army to move quickly, and he dragged Ye County's people to the end.

In the battle just now, Zheng Anping and Chen Si both joined Ye County's big array, but they were not in the lead, so they didn't win either. Coming down from Taihang Mountain, Chen Si's physical condition gradually improved, and everyone thought that it was because he was not accustomed to the water and soil, but he didn't pull or vomit, and he couldn't figure out what the reason was. His mapping did not stop because of the stagnation of his troops. In addition to letting him go back and forth to contact Bingcao, Hu Yang specially arranged for people to escort him around Wu'an, and even Handan and the Great Wall have quietly entered and exited, leaving a number of geographical maps, which can be described as a good understanding of the terrain of Wu'an.

The people's army in Ye County is Hu Yang's designated pro-battalion, Chen Si is a quasi-military pawn, Zheng Anping is a military pawn, is a rare "professional soldier" in the pro-battalion, and the title is not low, Hu Yang asked Zheng Anping to select a hundred people, train them according to the method of military soldiers, go out to reconnoiter and liaise in peacetime, and serve as a special reserve in wartime, known as "pro-guard". Zheng Anping screened the soldiers according to Wu Qi's method of selecting soldiers, and only a few dozen people could meet the requirements; I can only lower the standard and barely make up a hundred people.

The important source of combat effectiveness of the warriors is the three-layer leather armor, which ensures that the warriors are difficult to kill on the battlefield, but the Qin pawns do not wear much armor; The core weapon is a crossbow, and Qin Pawn's use of crossbows is very basic. The melee combat technique of the warrior is long-soldier combat, mainly spears, halberds, and ge, especially halberds, which have the characteristics of both spears and ge. There is a difference between the use of weapons in infantry combat and vehicle warfare, but Zheng Anping learned vehicle warfare in detail, and was able to integrate the use of weapons in vehicle combat and infantry combat to form his own set of characteristics. He taught this set of his martial arts to these hundred people. In the battle just now, several of these 100 people shot down Zhao Jun.

Now, Hu Yang asked the others to speed up their pace, retreat first with the sentinels, and take a thousand people at the end to prevent the Zhao army from pursuing. But they only saw Zhao Jun's sentry, but did not see Zhao Jun chasing after them. Hu Yang led the people to march two or three miles behind the front team, and finally joined Wang Di's pro-camp. On the way, the official doctor quietly reported the battle plan discussed by several people to Hu Yang, Hu Yang was a little hesitant, but he couldn't say anything, so he said: "Let's go!" ”

When Hu Yang arrived at the Fushui River, the front two thousand had already crossed the river, and Hu Yang could clearly see them on the other side of the river. One bridge over the river, two makeshift pontoon bridges. There were Sima Jin's personal guards on both sides of the bridge, and even if the Zhao army chased after him, Hu Yang could calmly cross the river. Hu Yang let his two battalions cross the river from the pontoon bridge, and let Wang Yi's pro-battalion take the bridge. The official doctor resigned: "I wish to cross the bridge from the bridge." “

Hu Yang said: "You will introduce you to the five doctors!" He followed Wang Di's camp across the river. The camp brought him to the king.

Wang Ji's tent was set up in a house one mile away from the river, and Bing Cao and Sima Jin were also here. Everyone saw each other, and they were embarrassed. Hu Yang briefed everyone on the situation of this morning's operation, and everyone expressed their admiration for Hu Yang and gave instructions on the spot to introduce the combat plan they had drawn up.

Hu Yang asked, "Why do Zhao people have to pass here?" “

Bing Cao said: "There are several volumes of books in Wucheng, and one volume is a map of Handan reinforcements, indicating that this is the place where the army is located. As soon as Hu Yang heard that there was still such a treasure in the city, he immediately asked to watch it. Unfortunately, they didn't have this picture with them. Hu Yang was eager to read these books, and Wang Di arranged a leather chariot for him, and he asked Zheng Anping and Chen Si to return to the city quickly with the hundred guards, and told Wang Di to constantly spy on the movements of the Zhao army, so he and Sima Jin and Bing Cao took the car back to the city first.

In just a moment, the car entered Wucheng. After entering Wucheng, Hu Yang couldn't take a break, and immediately took the atlas and watched it carefully. Gongzi Xuan and Pawn Zhonglang heard that Hu Yang had returned to the city, and they also rushed to meet each other. After a brief conversation, everyone sat down together and looked at the atlas.

Unlike Wang Yi and them, Hu Yang had leisure time in Wu'an, and in his spare time, he watched the terrain map drawn by Chen Si. Based on the topography map of the Great Wall drawn by Chen Si, Hu Yang could understand the true meaning of this map without field investigations. There was nothing wrong with their understanding, but the decision was a bit hasty and not well thought through. Hu Yang asked Sima Jin to send sentry spies to all the locations marked with garrisons on the map. Sima Jin was puzzled: "Qin Zu has never entered this place, how can he know? “

Chen Si and Zheng Anping said that although they came back from running, they have not yet arrived. All Hu Yang could rely on was Sima Jin's 2,000 people in the city. He asked Zhonglang: "Among the pedestrians, are there any people who know the path well?" Bing Cao suddenly said: "Every time Gongzi Yiren comes out, the path is the most passable." But within the Great Wall......"

Childe said: "It's the youngest, very stubborn, I'm afraid of mistakes!" “

Hu Yang said: "The military situation is urgent, I hope that the son will be responsible!" “

Gongzi rushed to call for all the princes to come with him. Nakaro also went to call pedestrians. Hu Yang memorized the name of the place, collected the atlas, and after everyone arrived, he asked: "There are five places, all of which are important, who can know them?" Then he named five places one by one.

Saying these place names, there are pedestrians who claim a few places, only Gongzi said: "These five places, three are on the side of the mountain, two are on the edge of the Zhangshui, all of which are the holes in and out of the Great Wall." Whoever enters and exits the Great Wall will go out of these five ways, and it will be difficult for others to walk. It's not difficult to find, but those who have bridges on the water are. ”

Seeing Gongzi Yiren say this, Hu Yang was overjoyed, and said: "But please instruct Gongzi!" ”

The alien said that the five roads were pointed out one by one. Hu Yang asked, "Is it clear?" Several pedestrians: "What the prince said is true, and these several ways are also clear!" ”

Hu Yang said: "I hope that Dr. Sima will send sentry agents from all walks of life to various places to send sentry swatches." Sima Jin immediately asked all the pedestrians to come out, guide a hundred people each, and divide them into five sentry posts. When Sima Jin came back and everyone dispersed, Hu Yang was still reading the book book carefully, and suddenly said: "If so, there is geometry? ”

Sima Jin said: "In the treasury, there are countless of them! ”

Hu Yang said: "Things are important, and they can't be left behind." Let's look at it! ”

So Sima Jin took Bing Cao and Gongzi Xuan to the house, and sure enough, he saw the simple books, divided into categories, and put a full room. Hu Yang picked out the picture scrolls one by one, and before he could look closely, he put them all on the case. He also put the accounts of the grain depot and the arsenal, the soldiers of the Great Wall, the acres of land, and the taxes of the merchants...... All the brochures should be taken out and placed on the table. There was a table on the table. Correspondence and other official documents are discarded. At this time, Zheng Anping and Chen Si arrived with the 100 guards.

Hearing that Chen Si was coming, Hu Yang was overjoyed, and in addition to asking Sima Jin to arrange for his personal guards to rest, he ordered Chen Si to come over quickly. After Chen Si came, he looked through these atlases, he knew the languages of various countries, and he didn't need to be explained by others, so he was naturally overjoyed at a glance. So with a finger stroke, the main points of the Great Wall were clearly explained.

After Chen Si finished speaking, the outside reported that the rear had arrived. Sima Jin took the initiative to go out and arrange for these soldiers to be stationed and guard the boundary. When he returned, Hu Yang stared at the map and said in a deep voice: "If I use troops, I will come out of the mountains, obliquely enter the Great Wall, and cut off my way back." If you go south from the water, you have nothing to fear! ”

Sima Jin followed Hu Yang's guidance and moved his gaze to the far left of the map, where there was a garrison and a mountain road leading to the Great Wall. Sima Jin knew that in that direction, the Qin army was unguarded, and the Zhao army would enter a no-man's land. He asked nervously, "Is it a minister?" What can I do? ”

Hu Yang said: "It's not the mistake of the secretary, it's the mistake of the minister." It can make Dr. Wang lead half of the men and horses, and the water and land will advance rapidly, and the bridge head must be fifteen miles upstream! Sima Jin should give an order. Hu Yang stopped: "Wait! May the son go with the other people and lead the army to the west bridge of Fushui, what can it be? ”

Childe said inhumanely: "Respectfully! ”

Gongzi shouted: "But if there is a delay, it will be a military order!" ”

Childe said: "Oh! ”

Although the deployment was adjusted, Hu Yang always felt uneasy. He pointed to the pile of books and said to Sima Jin: "I hope that the doctor will send someone to send this atlas to pass through Zhang, so that it will not be lost." It will be of great use! Sima Jin was a little ignorant, but he knew that these things were very useful, and they were about the same as the map, so he sent a hundred people from the camp to send these books across the river overnight and hand them over to the doctor, so that they must be kept alive and not lost. Hu Yang asked Chen Si to follow this batch of books across the river and keep them on the spot.

After being busy, Hu Yang had time to calm down and think about what happened today. Feeling that Zhao Jun, who followed later, was extremely good, he was able to calm down in that situation, and decisively gave up the chase and let him enter the Great Wall. In fact, a thought had flashed in his heart: Why don't you just stop fighting this battle and just cross the river. But the army of 20,000 people retreated without a fight, and did not gain anything, and this time it was in vain: the officers and soldiers who went out of the battle collectively failed! Therefore, the idea of fighting a war prevailed in the end.

At this moment, a military envoy came to report that the front army led by Dr. Wang had detected the Zhao army coming straight to Fushui; It has been found out that the main general is Zhao Shangqing Lianpo! When Hu Yang heard the news, he sent someone to recover the previous order, and ordered Wang Yu: The order to divide the troops was canceled, and he was ordered to fight a battle by the Fushui River, and retreat immediately!

At this time, the nearby sentinels had already reported that Xishan found that the Zhao army was crossing the river, about 10,000 people! In addition to the hundreds of people who have already crossed the bridge, a bridge is being built over the river.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense. Hu Yang asked Sima Jin to send troops to scout along the way, so as to keep abreast of the movements of this Zhao army.
