The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Inside Yangjin City, since the Yangjin garrison took most of the garrison away, only more than 1,000 people were left in the entire city. The Yangjin doctor was very worried because there was no military commander in the entire city. He was the only civilian guarding here, and he only had 1,000 soldiers left. If the enemy took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, Yangjin might be lost.

The doctor of Yangjin was restless, and the housekeeper beside him came over and said, "Master, the Wei-Han coalition is in Wuyan, and it is impossible for them to attack Yangjin! Moreover, Wuyan is such an important place, Linzi will definitely send a large army to rescue it!" The doctor of Yangjin sighed and said, "I know, but I am worried that Song will take advantage of the small number of soldiers in Yangjin to attack our city!"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Song is a small country, how dare it attack Qi." The doctor of Yangjin just sighed and said, "I hope Song will not attack!" The doctor of Yangjin said again, "Hurry up and call the county magistrate over. He knows a little about marching and fighting. Ask him to come and discuss the city defense issue." - Yes!

After a while, the county magistrate came in and saluted, "Sir, what do you want me to do?" Doctor Yangjin said, "Now the city is empty, with only more than a thousand soldiers left, and the city garrison has gone to support Wuyan. Now you are the only one in the city who knows how to march and fight. I'll leave the city defense to you. I wonder if you have any ideas to defend the city?"

The county magistrate thought for a while and said, "First, block two of the four city gates, leaving only the south gate and the north gate. Second, recruit all the nobles' servants and require them to help defend the city. Third, there must be 100 soldiers guarding the south gate and the north gate every night, and patrol in three teams every night!" Doctor Yangjin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll hand over the 100 servants in my family to you, and the servants of several other nobles in the city will also be handed over to help defend the city together!" - Yes!

At night, on the tower of Yangjin, dozens of soldiers patrolled seriously, with a guard every ten steps and a sentry every five steps. On the wall, a centurion looked outside with a tense mind, not missing any movement of the grass and trees outside. The sergeant next to him said: "Centurion, do you think Song State really dares to attack us?" The centurion said: "It's always better to be prepared. We know whether Song State dares to attack us." The centurion said again: "Patrol here carefully and don't miss any movement!" - Yes!

Not far away, a Song army of about tens of thousands of people had been hiding in the forest and staring at Yangjin City. The Song army commander Ji Xi carefully looked around the city wall. The deputy general beside him whispered: "General, the Qi army seems to be guarding only two city gates. The east gate and the west gate are unguarded. It is estimated that the Qi army has blocked the east gate and the west gate. General, should we launch a surprise attack?" The Song army commander Ji Xi looked at Yangjin City and said to the deputy general beside him: "Order the entire army to attack the city. I will lead 30,000 people to attack the north gate and focus the enemy's attention on the north gate. Then you will secretly lead 10,000 people to attack the enemy's south gate!" - Yes!

On the tower, a Qi army soldier was drowsy and suddenly heard the sound of a bow and arrow, and woke up instantly, just as he was about to shout "enemy attack", more than a dozen arrows pierced his body, killing ~~ Song army commander Ji Xi shouted loudly: "Attack the city!" The Song army took advantage of the night to push the cloud ladder to the bottom of the city wall. Because the Qi army was not fully prepared, more than a dozen cloud ladders of the Song army were set up on the city wall. A Qi soldier shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, come to support quickly!" Hundreds of Qi soldiers on the city wall made defensive preparations, drew their bows and arrows, and fired at the Song army under the city.

In the city, Doctor Yangjin was sleeping. Suddenly, a soldier rushed in. Doctor Yangjin was awakened directly. He hurriedly got up and saw the hurried soldier and scolded: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night!" The soldier hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not good, the Song army is attacking the city! "When Doctor Yang Jin heard this, he quickly picked up the sword on the table and headed for the city gate.

Under the city wall, the Song soldiers desperately climbed up the city wall, and the Qi soldiers on the city wall also hurriedly threw logs down. A Song soldier was hit by a log, and several people behind him fell down. A Song soldier just climbed up the city wall and was stabbed down by Yi Jian. Because the combat effectiveness of the Song army was much weaker than that of the Qi army, the Qi army was able to hold on among enemies that outnumbered them by several times. Seeing that they could not attack, the Song army commander Ji Xi ordered: "The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a thousand gold! "A big reward will always bring courage. After hearing the promise of the commander, the Song army desperately climbed the city, and the defense on the wall of the Qi army instantly became at a loss. At this time, the doctor Yangjin and the county magistrate also arrived with their troops and immediately joined the defense.

The doctor Yangjin looked at the dark night and could not see clearly how many Song soldiers there were below. He only knew that there were many Song soldiers. The doctor Yangjin said to the personal soldiers beside him: "Hurry up and call the soldiers at the South Gate to support. Only a hundred people will be guarding the South Gate!"

"-Yes! The doctor Yangjin picked up a long halberd from the ground and stabbed the Song soldiers on the ladder. Kill~~The county magistrate's body was full of dirty blood, and even the sword in his hand was bent. The county magistrate picked up a sword and continued to fight. A lieutenant of the Song army below saw the county magistrate and said to the archer beside him: "Shoot that man down! "More than a dozen arrows hit the county magistrate, and he fell down unwillingly.

While Doctor Yangjin was fighting, a soldier ran over and said, "Sir, the county magistrate was killed, what should we do!" Doctor Yangjin heard that the county magistrate was dead, so he could only command the army to defend. The Song army's offensive became more and more fierce, and several places were almost lost. Doctor Yangjin said to his personal soldiers beside him: "The reserve team will go up to the city to fight, and order the South Gate garrison to come to support!" ——Yes!

Near the South Gate, a group of Song soldiers were staring at the Qi army on the South Gate Tower. A soldier whispered: "The Qi army seems to have left, we should be able to launch a sneak attack!" The deputy general of the Song army saw that there were fewer soldiers at the South Gate, and ordered: "Attack the city! "The Song army quickly carried a dozen wooden ladders and approached the city wall. Hundreds of Song soldiers climbed up the city wall under the leadership of the lieutenant. As soon as the Qi soldiers on the tower reacted, more than a dozen arrows were shot at them.

After the Song army killed the Qi soldiers on the tower, they quickly went down the city wall andThe gate opened, and the deputy general of the Song army drew his sword and shouted loudly: "All the troops, charge into the city!"

At the north gate, the Song army had already attacked the city wall, and Doctor Yangjin shouted loudly: "Quick! Push them into the city!" Suddenly, a soldier ran over and said: "My lord, it's not good! The Song army has broken through the south gate! The Song army has entered the city!" Doctor Yangjin heard it and looked into the city. He saw that the city was already shouting and shaking the sky. It had basically been controlled by the Song army. Doctor Yangjin threw down the long halberd in his hand, sighed and said: "Order the whole army to surrender!" - Yes! Seeing that the main general had also thrown down his weapons, the Qi army also threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Song army.

In the morning, Ji Xi stood on the tower and said to the deputy general beside him: "You take 10,000 people to guard here, and the rest of you follow me to capture Fancheng!" The deputy general said: "General, don't we follow the Wei-Han coalition to attack Qi?" Ji Xi shook his head and said: "No, we won't follow them. We should just capture Yangjin and Fancheng. If we follow the Wei-Han coalition to attack Qi's homeland, we will suffer the resentment of Qi. Our Song is originally a small country, why should we provoke a big country?" - Yes!

Qi State Court

Duke Tian Wu of Qi looked at the battle report on the bamboo slips and said to all the ministers: "Everyone, according to the report from the border of Qi State, Wei State and Han State formed a coalition to attack Qi State, and Zhao State also attacked Qi State from the north. Even Chu State has sent 100,000 troops to attack the Huai and Si areas of Qi State. Do you have any good ideas to deal with these four countries attacking Qi?"

Prime Minister Zou Ji stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is only one way to save Qi State now. Please immediately transfer Tian Shou's army back to the country and stop attacking Yan State. As long as After defeating the Wei-Han coalition, the four countries' attack on Qi will be defeated without a fight, and it is often believed that the Wei-Han coalition will definitely want to attack the capital of Qi this time. Therefore, in order to protect the capital of Qi from being threatened, Qingqingshi Pass must be guarded. I think that in order to ensure that Qingshi Pass is not captured, I request to appoint Tian Pan as the general to guard Qingshi Pass and increase the number of troops at Qingshi Pass to 50,000. When Tian Shou's army returns, they will join forces with Tian Pan's army to defeat the Wei-Han coalition! "After hearing this, Duke Tian Wu of Qi said, "Okay, let's follow the Prime Minister's words!" - Your Majesty is wise!

After Pang Juan captured Wuyan and left 10,000 people behind, he immediately went to Feiyi with the rest of the army.

Feiyi City, the defender of Feiyi City looked at the endless Han-Wei coalition army below, and the deputy general beside him said: "General, what should we do? The enemy is estimated to have more than 100,000 soldiers, and we only have 7,000 soldiers in the city!"

The defender of Feiyi said calmly: "Order the entire army to leave only the east gate and the west gate, and block the other two gates. Immediately prepare sulfur and straw, and transfer all the grain in the warehouse near the city wall to the county government. Tell the entire army not to drink water outside the city to be careful of poisoning by the enemy. Only drink water from the well. And you take 500 soldiers with you, quickly prepare rolling logs and rolling stones, and tell your men to quickly help with the city defense crossbow carts and carts! The order is in place throughout the process, no one is allowed to enter or leave, anyoneThose who enter or leave without permission will be treated as spies. No one in the city can make loud noises. All young and strong men in the city will be gathered together to defend the city. The elderly, women and children will stay at home and are not allowed to go out. All food will be distributed by the government. The food of the rich merchants in the city will all belong to the government. They will be compensated after the war is over!" - Yes!

In the coalition camp, Pang Juan looked at the map, looked at it for a while and said, "Everyone, this is Feiyi. As long as we capture Feiyi, we can go straight to Qingshi Pass. I wonder if you have any opinions on breaking this city?"

The deputy general Gongzi Ang said, "General, I think we can attack the city by attacking the heart. First, we will intimidate the soldiers and civilians in the city, make them feel afraid, and reduce the resistance in the city. Then we will use catapults to attack the city. We will use catapults to attack the city for a few days. During these days, we will not send soldiers to attack the city. We will use catapults to continuously throw stones into the city. Then we will send another army to secretly dig tunnels to attack the city! ”

After hearing this, Pang Juan nodded and said, "Well, this is a good way to attack the city, but we don't have that much time to waste here. I decided to use fire attack to attack the city. I have transported 500 barrels of kerosene from Anyi, so this war must be over within one day. I wonder if you agree with this kerosene attack method!"

When the generals heard that Pang Juan was going to use fire attack, they were immediately a little scared. A general said, "General, if you use fire attack to attack the city, the people in the city will..." Pang Juan smiled and said, "Don't worry, these kerosene barrels will only hit the city wall and will not cause much harm to the people. Even if they cause harm, after all, this is a war, and there will always be deaths! Tell the whole army to attack the city tomorrow! "——Yes!

In Feiyi City, the Qi army on the city wall had been nervously watching the coalition's every move. At this time, thousands of soldiers in the coalition's barracks pushed catapults out. Seeing that the coalition was about to attack the city, the Qi soldiers hurriedly shouted: "The enemy is attacking the city, the enemy is attacking the city, the whole army is ready for defense!" The Feiyi defender stood on the tower and watched the coalition's every move. The deputy general next to him said: "General, I am fully prepared now!" The Feiyi defender silently drew his sword and ordered: "The whole army defends the city!"

The Wei army pushed more than 100 catapults to a position 300 steps away from the city wall. The Wei army lifted out a jar of large jars, and saw some small jars. The Wei army poured out the black stuff in the outline, then stuffed a lot of stones and straw into the jar, and then ignited it on the catapult. A Wei army lieutenant shouted: "Fire! "Hundreds of catapults were fired at the same time, and hundreds of fire pots were waving directly in the air.

The Feiyi garrison saw the Wei army's actions and seemed to know what was going to happen. He shouted loudly: "The whole army should withdraw from the city wall as soon as possible!" As soon as the words fell, bang bang~ Hundreds of fire pots were stuck on the city wall, and a blazing fire instantly ignited. The hot messengers hit the soldiers' heads and clothes and burned instantly. Countless soldiers rolled on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies. The entire city wall had become a big fire vat.

Ahhhh~~Help, help! The walls were filled with wailing and painful struggles. Some soldiers could not bear it and stabbed themselves to death with their swords. Some fire pots went over the walls and hit the houses in the city. Many houses were hit by the fire pots and ignited a raging fire. The city was already unbearable to look at, and there were fires everywhere. Many people were burned to death. Countless people fled from the houses on the originally quiet streets, and there were constant wailing in the city!

The Feiyi defender stared at the actions of the Wei army with red eyes, wishing to eat the Wei army into his stomach. Another wave of fire pots was thrown in, and several fire pots directly hit the wooden city gate, which was burned red by the fire. Soon the city gate collapsed. The Feiyi defender looked at the chaos on the city wall and knew that the city had been lost. He drew his sword unwillingly and sighed loudly: "My Lord, I am sorry for you!" A head fell to the ground.

Pang Juan looked at the tragic scene on the city wall from behind, his face was calm. The whole Feiyi city was already filled with smoke. The generals behind him were sweating a lot when they saw this scene. The deputy general Gongzi Ang said: "This fire attack is so terrifying! General, I think we should use less of this method to attack the city in the future! This method of attacking the city is really too harmful to the family!"

Pang Juan also sighed and said: "In fact, this fire attack was not my idea. A long time ago, a country used this fire attack since the Spring and Autumn Period, but if you want to use fire If you attack a city, the city cannot be too big. If it is too big, the kerosene will not work. This attack is just to deal with the emergency. After all, our army must quickly approach Qingshi Pass and cannot give Qi any time to react. Speed ​​is more important than time! "After listening to Pang Juan's explanation, Gongzi Ang nodded and said, "So that's it!"

After several hours, the smoke in the city gradually rose, and it seemed that it had been extinguished. Pang Juan drew his sword and ordered, "Enter the city!"
