Chapter 78: Capture Yang Zhai Wei
Instead of pursuing the scattered Chu army, the Qin army directed the attack at the Han army in the mountain pass.
The collapse of the Chu army shook the ground and shook the mountains, and the rear army of the Korean army could naturally hear it. After they lined up the marching army, they found that Yang Zhai Shou was gone, and their morale collapsed suddenly, and tens of thousands of people scattered in a hurry, fleeing in the direction of Yang Zhai, and colliding head-on with the Qin army that had defeated the Chu army.
The results can be imagined. The resistless Han army became the target of the Qin army's massacre. No matter arrows, spears, pecks, or halberds, they can always reap the lives of the Korean army. Blood flowed from the land into the Yingshui River, which was dyed blood-colored and stretched far downstream......
The Han army in front was intercepted and killed by the Qin army, while the Han army in the back turned and ran towards the mountains. The front army of the South Korean army did not seem to have received the order of Yang Zhai Shou to withdraw his troops, and was reorganizing his troops and preparing to assault on the mountain. Just then, the rout appeared. Not one or two, but in groups, several thousand, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the soldiers.
The former commander immediately sent a battalion to intercept the rout, preventing them from rushing into his camp. The rout in front of them came back to their senses a little and stopped, but the rout behind them was all over the mountains and couldn't stop at all. At this moment, the sound of drums came from behind the mountain, and then thick smoke rose.
Seeing the thick smoke, the Qin army on the hillside began to move down the mountain. Although they stopped to line up when they were two or three miles in front of the Han army's formation, the more and more Qin troops gathered still brought a great psychological shock to the Korean army. Everyone knows where they are: the rear army has been defeated, and the front ......
General Han knew that there could be no more hesitation now, and he immediately ordered the front army to attack and attack the Qin army that was arrayed. The earth-shattering drums sounded, and the Han army rushed towards the Qin army with a shout. When the Han army rushed to a distance of about 100 paces in front of the Qin army, the Qin army on the hillside took advantage of the terrain and shot a rain of arrows at the Han army below the mountain. The shield soldiers of the Han army immediately raised their shields to block the rain of arrows, but unexpectedly, the Qin army in front of the mountain shot out at them and immediately shot down a piece of shield soldiers. The shield soldiers were shot down, and the entire formation lost its protection and fell like a stack. People who are not shot down instinctively turn around and run.
General Han's drums did not stop, and he threw one army after another into the charge. When the third offensive echelon was routed in the same way, the whole army began to waver. First, a small number of people began to leave the team, and they were punished on the spot by the officers. But this only provoked more people to follow suit, and a squadron, a battalion, began to crumble, and finally the whole army collapsed. They had nowhere to run, so they sought their way up the mountain. The Qin army slowly advanced as the Han army dispersed, harvesting the heads of the Han army along the way. By noon, the remnants of the Han army had all gone up the mountain, and those who did not have time to go up the mountain were all beheaded by the Qin army.
General Han was also carried up the mountain. His retainers and guards gathered around him, and the battalion commanders of the battalions were gathered together, and around him were the soldiers of the Shiwu. Everyone was terrified, and their faces were full of despair. A Han Gongzi came over and asked, "Where are we going?" ”
Han Jiang said helplessly: "This is just death!" ”
Another Han Gongzi pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said: "There seems to be a trail under the mountain leading to the outside of the mountain, and you can retreat from there." ”
Han Jiang said: "The mountains are continuous, how can you get it? ”
Han Gongzi said: "Yousheng is trapped here!" ”
Han Jiang said: "Can you gather your camp? ”
Han Gongzi said: "Failed." We will protect you and do not abandon each other! ”
Han Jiang was exhausted from mountaineering, there was no water or food on the mountain, he was hungry and thirsty, and it was difficult to make up his mind for a while. The Qin army under the mountain also felt that it was difficult to climb the mountain, so they only fought under the mountain and did not go up the mountain. Han Jiang said: "At night, he will retreat, and we can get rid of it!" ”
After noon, a fire suddenly ignited at the foot of the mountain, and General Han was startled to check, and Han Shu had already reported: "The Qin army burned the mountain!" Han Jiang's eyes were black, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground. The retainers and guards next to him said: "It's urgent, go down the mountain as soon as possible."
Without waiting for the order, Han Pawn, who noticed the fire, immediately got up and ran almost instinctively in the direction of the fireless. Several Han Gongzi were quite calm, and asked the retainers and guards to move Han Jiang to a place with a boulder, and said: "The mountain fire has not been long ago, and there will be enemies where there is no fire." Sit here, or there is a return date. Those retainers looked down, and the Han troops coming down the mountain were crowded together, and they were constantly shot down by the Qin army's cross-arrows. Some people wanted to turn around and run up the mountain, but when they saw the smoke rushing into the sky behind the mountain, they turned around and rushed down the mountain. After all, the rain of arrows of the Qin army could not cover the entire road down the mountain, and about half of the people fled down the mountain, scattering in all directions.
The cold wind howled, and the fire quickly spread to the top of the mountain, and then gradually extinguished. Han Jiang, his retainers, and guards, who were hiding in a rocky area on the leeward slope, finally escaped. For the rest of their lives, they were all slumped on the ground, completely incapacitated. There are no big trees on the mountain, only shrubs with weeds, and as long as they show their heads slightly, they will be discovered by the Qin army under the mountain. They could only sit there and wait until it got dark.
However, they were soon disappointed: the Qin army in the north of the mountain sent people up the blackened slopes, and there were thousands of people as far as the eye could see. Soon, Han Jiang discovered that this group of people was not talking about Qin Yin, but Chu Yin; When they searched the mountain, they found the Korean soldiers who had been shot down on the hillside, and instead of beheading them on the spot, they ordered them to gather in one place. If you really can't walk, you will call someone to come and help you. In Han Jiang's desperate heart, a glimmer of hope rose: Is it possible not to die?
He asked one of his retainers to go out and contact the Qin general, who led the team. The retainer stealthily walked out of a distance and approached a Qin man wearing a crown on his head. The soldier beside the Qin man immediately raised his halberd to protect him. The retainer raised his hands and said, "The Han people want to see Doctor Qin!" ”
The Qin doctor said, "You come forward!" ”
The retainers crossed their hands and crossed their chests, came to the distance five steps in front of Doctor Qin, and asked, "Dare to be a Chu person?" ”
The Qin doctor said: "Nanyang people too! ”
The retainer said: "There is a Han Gongzi who is willing to see General Qin, and he orders the minister to recommend it!" ”
Doctor Qin said: "The county has an order, and anyone who surrenders will not be injured!" ”
The retainer said: "I am willing to obey my fate!" "Led a group of people up the hillside, whistled, and out of a pile of rocks, dozens of people came out, and among them, there was an extraordinary middle-aged man. The middle-aged man came to Doctor Qin and arched his hand: "Chenyang Zhai Weiling, come to vote if you are defeated!" ”
After sunset, Zhai Ling was brought to Ye Peng. Ye Peng asked, "Why did Wei come to Yang City?" ”
Zhai Ling said: "If you want to save Yang City!" ”
Ye Peng said: "The Qin army is 100,000, and Yang Zhai knows everything. But how can you save Yang City with only 20,000 or 30,000 people, is it to deceive me and Qin is incompetent? ”
Zhai Ling said: "Yang Zhai doesn't want to be saved, what is the fate of the king of Qinai!" In addition, Zheng and Mi also fought out of the water, and the two sides attacked in a flank, or they could succeed. ”
Ye Peng said: "The Art of War: I am designed for one, the enemy is divided into ten, and it is one of ten to attack one!" Dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers. Hu Wei made this decision? ”
Zhai Ling said: "South Korea's small soldiers are weak and want to fight against big countries, so this is also the case." ”
Ye Peng saw that Zhai Ling began to pat his ass, so he didn't continue to talk.
Ye Peng placed Zhai Ling in an independent small courtyard, and the surrounding Nanyang soldiers were nominally here to serve him and ensure his safety, but in fact, Zhai Ling himself knew that these people were guarding him. Although he is a prisoner, the treatment is not bad, he lives in a warm pavilion alone, and in addition to millet porridge, he also adds wine and meat for dinner. Since the attack on Xishan, Zhai Ling has been sleeping in the cold field for several days, barely sleeping. Today, the room was warm, and although he was drowsy, he was indignant that the Qin army could have such superior conditions: Is this still fighting in Korea? How do I think it's simply fighting the Qin people in the Qin land! He wanted to find someone to ask for a question, but the people who served him in the door all replied "I don't know" to his questioning, and Zhai Ling had no choice but to lie down, not thinking about everything, letting his body dominate, and falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, the drum sounded, Zhai Ling woke up, feeling refreshed, and the fatigue of several days was swept away. Looking out through the crack in the door, the soldiers of the Qin Army guarding him were lining up in the courtyard. The soldiers here are Nanyang soldiers, and their accents are not far from Han Yin, Zhai Ling can understand the content of the commander's lecture, but he is careful to guard and not allow Zhai Ling to go out and so on. After a short time, the queue was disbanded, and the soldiers who were waiting for him entered the door, saw Zhai Ling wake up, said hello, and sat at the door without saying anything. When he was young, he was brought corn porridge and wine and meat. After Zhai Ling had breakfast, Ye Peng sent someone to invite him again.
Zhai Ling was blindfolded, led out of the door by the soldiers, I don't know how long it took, entered the door, went up the steps, opened the blindfold, and saw Ye Peng sitting in the hall. Zhai Ling and Ye Peng greeted each other, and Ye Peng asked Zhai Ling to sit down. Ye Peng said: "The reinforcements from the two Han roads have all been broken, and Yangcheng is in danger. May the king say that if you descend, you will avoid slaughter! ”
Zhai Ling said: "The minister is stubborn, but there is no resignation!" The general of the defeated army dares to chatter in front of the army. - will be killed! The ministers are defeated, and Zheng Mi's army still exists, how can it be said that they are all broken? ”
Ye Peng said: "Yesterday broke the king, today will break the Zheng." If the city does not fall, it will be uprooted! If you listen to it, you can avoid the killing of a city. ”
Zhai Ling said: "I don't know Zheng Zhipo. ”
Ye Peng said: "Look at it! "Let someone take Zhai Ling back.
After returning to the warm pavilion, drums and shouts sounded in the north, and it was obvious that there was a big battle of no small scale. Zhai Ling was restless and restless. Ye Peng's affirmative attitude shook Zhai Ling's confidence: Could it be that Zheng Mi's army is really ......? He didn't dare to think further. Just listen intently to the sound of drums and shouts. For a long time, he seemed to hear the sound of drums getting closer and closer to him, and his heart moved, could it be that the Han army broke through the defense of the Qin army and killed around Yangcheng? However, as the drums approached, more and more drums were heard, indicating that more troops were thrown into the fight. The dense drum beat lasted for about an hour, and suddenly a new drum beat sounded. Then the dense drumming quickly died down and faded away. Zhai Ling's face was pale and depressed. Obviously, after the Qin army invested another new force, the balance on the battlefield was broken, the Korean army collapsed, and the Qin army pursued it!
