Chapter 179: Sun Bin: I've been waiting here for a long time
The Huai army cut down trees around Daliang, quickly made a large number of siege equipment, and then began to attack Daliang City.
The city of Daliang was tall and backed by the Yellow River, and the Marquis of Wei dug a chasm and excavated a large number of water networks around the girder, which made the girder easy to defend and difficult to attack.
These ditches not only held back the attacks of the army and irrigated the farmland, but also used the canals and ditches to transport supplies.
Huai's attack did not produce much results, but it kept Daliang on alert. At the same time, another part of the Fujijia army began to strike at the reinforcements in the Wei state.
There were many Wei troops who came to the rescue from all over the country, and as long as the Tengjia army seized the opportunity, they would be defeated or eliminated.
In just a few days, the Tengjia army defeated and eliminated tens of thousands of reinforcements, forcing the Wei reinforcements to gather and then come to support.
Just when everyone in Wei thought that Huai sent an army of 100,000 to attack Wei, the camp of Huai was full of straw men. The entire barracks combined were no more than 15,000 men.
Five thousand elite rattan armor troops, plus 10,000 elites, made the vicinity of the Great Liang of the Wei State into a rampant.
Pang Juan led the army back to the division, and the army marched all the way, and soon came to the vicinity of Yinyang. Yinyang is very close to Xu Guo, and it is still within the range of Cai Guo, Cai Guo has been destroyed, and Pang Juan has no idea that someone will ambush him here.
Yinyang is the only way for Pang Juan to return to the army, and after Sun Bin sent a large army to attack Daliang, he personally led the army to Yinyang.
Yinyang is named because of the hidden river, the water surface here is wide, the water flow is gentle, suitable for the army to cross the river, there is a pontoon bridge built on the river surface, Pang Juan led the army to cross the river from here.
Just when the army was halfway across the river, a shout of killing suddenly sounded, countless arrows fell from the sky, and the Huai army took the opportunity to attack. The Wei army was caught off guard and had no time to form a defensive line, and a large number of Wei soldiers were beheaded.
Sun Bin stood under the big curtain and shouted: "Pang Juan, I'll wait like this for a long time!" ”
The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison, and a large number of arrows fell from the sky, and the Wei State suffered heavy casualties.
The morale of the Huai State was high, the Tengjia army took the lead, and the Wei army was basically not wearing armor because they were in a hurry, and they were suddenly attacked, and many people did not have time to wear armor at all.
Pang Juan hurriedly erected a big banner and commanded the army, wanting to stabilize the military formation, but how could Sun Bin give him a chance, and immediately ordered the Tengjia army to attack the Wei army that wanted to form a formation and disperse the Wei army.
The Wei army was forced, and a large number of soldiers were driven into the river, and at the same time, the Huai crossbowmen also completed the formation, and a low buzzing sound sounded, and a large number of Wei soldiers were shot in the next second.
The blood of countless Wei people dyed the earth red, and the blood gathered and flowed into the Yin River, and the river water was also dyed red.
Tens of thousands of Wei troops were blocked on the bank of the Hidden River, the Huai army continued to attack, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, they scattered and fled, a large number of Wei troops jumped into the water, wanted to swim across the Hidden River, but the Huai army continued to release arrows, a large number of Wei troops died.
Pang Juan watched with a sad and indignant look at the defeat of the Wei army, and there were fleeing Wei soldiers everywhere, only some of the guards around him still maintained the formation.
However, under the continuous attack of Huaiguo, these guards could not resist it, and they set up Pang Juan and ran towards the river, wanting to swim across the hidden river.
The soldiers of Huai Guo shouted loudly: "Pang Juan has fled, and those who surrender will not die." ”
"Pang Juan has fled, and those who descend will not die."
The Wei army was completely defeated, a large number of soldiers who had nowhere to flee surrendered, and the corpses of Wei soldiers were everywhere on the south bank of the Yin River, and the river was full of Wei army corpses, and the river was also blocked.
The Wei Chinese army under the command of Pang Juan suffered heavy casualties, except for the more than 10,000 people who had just crossed the river and escaped, and more than 20,000 people were captured, 20,000 people were drowned and killed.
Of the 100,000 Wei soldiers, nearly 50,000 people were lost in the First World War, and even the commander Pang Juan was escorted by personal guards to flee from the water. The Wei army suffered heavy casualties, Sun Bin gathered his soldiers and horses, did not stay long, and directly led the army to escort the prisoners to evacuate.
On the other side, after learning the news that the Wei army was ambushed and defeated, the Han and Zhao armies hurriedly sent troops to the rescue, but unfortunately they did not encounter the Huai army at all except for helping the Wei army collect the corpses together with the Wei army.
After Pang Juan crossed the river, he fled all the way for more than ten miles, and then began to collect the defeated army, and at the same time sent people to find the rear army. After the rear army arrived, a total of more than 10,000 people were gathered, plus 20,000 rear troops, and the front army that rushed back to China first, there were less than 50,000 of the 100,000 troops of Wei left.
Seeing the tragedy of the army, Pang Juan looked sad: "More than half of the 100,000 army has been lost, what face do I have to see you again?" ”
After saying that, he was about to kill himself after drawing his sword, and the surrounding guards hurriedly rushed up to hold it and snatch the sword.
"The general can't, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and we want the general to lead to avenge today's revenge!"
"Today's hatred will be avenged!" Looking at the Wei army in front of him, who had suffered heavy losses, Pang Juan said hatefully.
After Sun Bin Yinhe broke the Wei army, the army turned around and drove straight into the attack on Cai, and at the same time, the army of Wu also rushed to the capital of Cai to besiege Cai.
Sun Bin quickly found the place where South Korea was hoarding grain and grass through the secret guard, and then the army attacked at night, breaking through the stronghold of South Korea's hoarding of grain and grass in one fell swoop, cutting off the Korean grain road.
Just when Wu's army attacked Caidu, a team of remnants fled to Caidu in a hurry, and Han Hou learned that the grain road was cut off and all the grain and grass were lost, and he was immediately shocked.
Cai Du has been in war several times, the original stock has long been consumed, now all the grain and grass are transferred from South Korea, and now the grain and grass hoarding base has been captured, there is not much grain and grass left in the city, and the Korean army is in danger of being wiped out.
Seeing this situation, Han Hou immediately decided to withdraw his troops.
It's just that at this time, it was too late to withdraw the army, and the army of Wu had already received the news that Cai Du was short of food, and the army surrounded Cai Du, and Han Hou failed to break through several times, but suffered heavy losses and was blocked in the city.
Seeing that the food in the city was exhausted, Han Hou had no choice but to surrender to the Huai army.
The first battle captured Han Hou, the Huai army rose sharply, and the Zhao army in Jiangguo heard the news that Han Hou was captured, so frightened that they didn't dare to stay anymore, directly abandoned the city and left, retreated to the north in a hurry, the Huai army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and the Zhao army panicked, and the loss was not small.
However, most of the soldiers were finally brought back.
And South Korea was unlucky, not only Han Hou was captured, but more than 20,000 Han soldiers were killed and wounded, 20,000 fled, and the remaining 50,000 were captured and surrendered with Han Hou.
Jiang and Cai were recovered by the Huai army, but Cai and Jiang had already died in the war, and the office also suffered heavy losses, so Wang Kan moved the two offices into Huai and divided the two cities for them to worship the temple. The lands of Jiang and Cai were incorporated into the Huai Kingdom.
On the other hand, Zhongguo also suffered heavy losses because of this war, and after some discussion, the Zhongguo Office decided to merge Zhongguo into Huaiguo, and the office was moved to Jinling, and the small sect was reincorporated into the large sect.
In the end, only the Huang State was left in the original Four-Power Alliance, and after the Huang State saw that the other three countries were merged into the Huai State, they immediately 'took the initiative' to write to the Huai Duke Wang Kan, and was willing to sacrifice his land and surrender himself to the king.
