The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

The court of the State of Pi

After a few days of rest, Yao Zhongmei, the Marquis of Pi, felt better and asked, "Everyone, the Ju army has broken through Zitong and is about to attack Piyi. Do you have any solution?"

A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Ju army is well-equipped and our army cannot defeat them! Now we can only hold our ground and order the soldiers in the mountain strongholds near Piyi to harass the Ju army. When the Ju army is exhausted, our army will go out of the city to patrol and fight."

Yao Zhong Mi thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's do it this way! Is there still the King of Shu who hasn't sent out his troops yet?"

A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know when the King of Shu will send out his troops, but it should be soon!"

Zhou Borui led the army to Qiyi and said to Qiang Yong, "Qiang Yong, you lead 20,000 troops and 100 vehicles to attack Baojiang City! I will personally lead 40,000 troops to attack Qiyi! After you capture Baojiang City, immediately build fortifications to resist the Shu army coming to support!" - Yes!

Zhou Borui shouted loudly, "Soldiers, speed up, we must reach Qiyi at noon today!"

When the army was marching, the rear army was attacked by the Qi army. When the Zhu State reacted, the Qi army disappeared in the mountains. After being attacked many times in a row, Zhou Borui ordered, "Break all the mountain strongholds near Qiyi and then surround Qiyi!" - Yes!

In a mountain stronghold, several clan leaders were discussing the next battle strategy. One clan leader said: "Everyone, although the Zhu army has excellent weapons, they are not good at mountain warfare. We can harass them constantly. Once they react, we will hide in the mountains. If they come to attack our stronghold, let them attack. Anyway, we have moved all the things to some hidden places. Those that cannot be moved in the stronghold will be burned. When the enemy invades, a real man should sacrifice his life for the country!"

The clan leaders bowed and said: "We all obey the orders of the clan leader Zi Che!"

Near the city of Qiyi

Zhou Borui led the army to station ten miles away from Qiyi.

Inside the tent

Zhou Borui said to the generals: "In this battle, as long as our army breaks through the capital of the State of Li, we can destroy the State of Li. However, in order to break through Li, we must eliminate all the surrounding villages. I plan to send 5,000 people led by General Du Bozhen to clear the surrounding villages. Commander of the scout camp, are the locations of the villages near Li clear?"

The commander of the scout camp said: "General, there are a total of fifteen villages near Li, and there are about 3,000 soldiers in these fifteen villages."

After listening, Zhou Borui nodded and said: "Okay, General Du Bozhen, we must eliminate them all! The rest of you follow me to surround Li." - Yes!

The next morning

Du Bozhen led 5,000 men to attack the enemy. The army was walking in the mountains and forests. Du Bozhen looked around cautiously and asked the scout beside him: "How far is it from the village now?" The scout replied: "General, about one mile away."

Du Bozhen drew his sword and said: "The whole army should maintain formation and not panic. The armored soldiers will lead the way, the archers will be in the middle, and the left and right will beThe wings and the rear are under the charge of the migrant soldiers. Go forward! "

The Ju army walked along the mountain forest path. The armored soldiers who led the way in front of them cleared all the weeds and stones blocking the road with swords in their hands. The archers looked carefully at the crossbows in their hands. They had already loaded the bowstrings and were ready to shoot immediately if the enemy appeared. The long-halberd soldiers on both sides also looked around carefully.

In a bush, dozens of soldiers from the Qiguo Village wearing straw sandals carefully poked their heads out to observe the movements of the Ju army. A soldier whispered: "Chief, should we attack?"

The chief looked at it and said: "Wait until the enemy's rear army arrives before attacking. Archers, get ready!"

When the Ju army passed by in a mighty manner, the chief saw the rear army of the Ju army and ordered: "Shoot! "Suddenly, dozens of arrows were shot at the rear army soldiers of the Zhu army. The rear army soldiers were not prepared and dozens of people were shot down. The clan leader drew his sword and shouted: "Warriors, follow me to kill!"

The rear army hurriedly responded to the battle. A captain of the Zhu army shouted desperately: "Don't panic, don't panic, form a formation!" Because the soldiers of the rear army were all migrant soldiers, their combat effectiveness was much weaker than that of the new army. They were instantly beaten and scattered by these fierce soldiers of the Li State. When Du Bozhen learned that the rear army was attacked, he hurriedly ordered the central army to support it. When the central army arrived, the enemy had already retreated into the mountains.

Du Bozhen also rushed to the rear army and asked the captain in charge of the rear army: "How many casualties?" The captain replied: "More than a hundred casualties! The enemy suddenly attacked our army and did not notice it. The enemy has just fled here."

Du Bozhen looked in the direction where the enemy fled and said, "You take 500 people to chase! I will give you another 50 soldiers! The rest of you continue to go to the village!"

The captain bowed and said, "Yes, General!"

The captain led more than 500 people to chase the enemy. The wild mountains and ridges were full of poisonous insects and wild beasts. Some trees were even covered with thorns. Due to the large-scale study of the Central Plains culture, the costumes of the people of Zhu State had long been changed to the costumes of the Central Plains. After all, it was a little inconvenient for the army to move in the mountains.

After walking for a while, a centurion said to the captain, "Sir, there is no trace of the enemy at all. Do you want to return to the army?"

The captain looked at the vast jungle and said, "Retreat! "Just as the voice fell, hundreds of soldiers from the State of Qi suddenly rushed out from all directions, holding all kinds of weapons and desperately killing the Ju army.

The Ju army was too late to form a battle array and was caught off guard. The captain shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill! The new army will cover the rear, and the rest of the people will retreat in an orderly manner! Don't panic, keep the formation!"

The soldiers of the Ju army fought the soldiers of Qi with sophisticated weapons. The rest of the Ju army retreated from that place thanks to the new army. The captain also commanded the new army to fight and retreat. Seeing that they could not defeat the Ju army, the soldiers of Qi also disappeared in the mountains and forests.

The captain led everyone to retreat to a safe area and asked the centurion next to him: "How many casualties did our army suffer?" The centurion wiped his head and said: "About ten casualties. ”

The captain looked at the vast mountains and the soldiers around him who had already been beaten into panic, and said:Retreat quickly!" - Yes

In a bush, a soldier said: "Chief, these soldiers of the Ju Kingdom don't seem to be good at fighting in the mountains!"

The chief snorted and said: "A bunch of people who have forgotten their ancestors, wearing such strange clothes, even going up the mountain is so difficult, I really don't know what the benefits of those robes they wear are, they are not good at fighting in the mountains, we will slowly wear them out!" - Yes!

Du Bozhen also led the army to capture the village, only to see that there was no one in the village. Du Bozhen said to the captain beside him: "Search! Search for me!"

The Ju army searched the entire village, but did not find a single person, including food and other supplies. A captain came to report: "General, there is no one in the entire village, and no food was found! They seem to have left here."

Du Bozhen looked at the village and said: "Continue to the next place! "——Yes!

The army I just went to pursue has also returned. The captain came over and said: "General, our army has been chasing for a long time, but we didn't find the enemy. When they finally wanted to retreat, they suddenly attacked us. We were beaten without any chance to fight back. General, our army doesn't seem to be good at fighting in the mountains and forests."

Du Bozhen thought for a while and said: "Our army is in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. This battlefield is completely unfavorable to our army. Order the whole army to retreat!"

Inside the tent

Zhou Borui looked at the map and muttered to himself: "The military camp has been attacked five times now. These people from the Li country run away after being attacked. We must find a way to deal with these enemies in the dark."

Report~~ A soldier entered the tent and said: "General, General Du Bozhen is back!"

"Oh, he's back, tell him to come to see me quickly! "Zhou Borui said. - Yes!

After entering the camp, Du Bozhen said: "General, there is no one in the enemy's village. They have all hidden in the mountains and have been trying to harass our army! Our army is defeated and can only retreat!"

Zhou Borui thought for a while and said: "In this case, let's lure them out. The enemy wants to attack us and make us tired, so we will lure them with a small profit. Du Bozhen, you take 600 people to transport grain. The first transportation must be loaded with grain. Transport ten carts of grain and deliberately expose flaws to let them grab the grain. The second transportation will not be loaded with grain, hide armored soldiers in the grain transport carts, and increase the number of transport troops to 1,000. Transport 50 carts of grain, and hide five armored soldiers in each cart. In this way, you can catch them all in one fell swoop! Immediately order the entire army to build arrow towers and barriers around the camp, and we will stay in the camp and hold on!"

Du Bozhen said again: "General, but it can only eliminate some of the Qi soldiers hiding in the mountains, and it is impossible to wipe them out completely! ”

Zhou Borui smiled and said, “Just destroy some of them. We’ll talk about the rest later. We’ll slowly destroy them later.” ——Yes!

Around the camp, the Ju army built dozens of arrow towers and barriers. The Ju army held their ground, and the Qi soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests had no way to deal with it. The defenders of QiyiBut they did not come out to cooperate with the militia outside the city.

In a certain mountain stronghold, a clan leader said angrily: "We are fighting hard outside, but the nobles in the city just stay in the city and are unwilling to come out to cooperate with us. Now the enemy has been staying in the camp, and we can't harass them at all!"

Another clan leader said: "Indeed, the enemy has built a large number of arrow towers and barriers around the camp, and we can't go to harass them. What do you think we should do next, Chief Changche?"

Chief Ziche thought for a while and said: "Since the enemy If they stay in the camp and don't come out, then we will attack their food supply route and kill their transport team. In this way, they will have no food to defend and can only retreat! "

The clan leaders said: "Just follow the words of the clan leader Zi Che!" ... ...

Du Bozhen led 600 people to escort ten carts of food and grass. A centurion said: "General, with such a small number of people, I am afraid that we will be attacked by the enemy!"

Du Bozhen smiled and said: "Okay, you lead the whole army to maintain the formation and be prepared for defense! Be careful around!" - Yes!

Du Bozhen looked around again, all of which were vast mountains. He ordered: "Shield soldiers in front, archers in the middle, and halberd soldiers in the back. Halberd soldiers on both sides guard."

The Zhu army moved forward cautiously, but they didn't know that they were surrounded on three sides. While moving, Du Bozhen looked up and saw birds flying in the woods not far away. The flock of birds in the sky did not fly into the woods for a long time. Birds rise and fall!

Du Bozhen shouted: "Enemy attack, the whole army is in formation!" As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of arrows came. Fortunately, the Zhu army was well-trained and did not cause much damage.

Du Bozhen drew his sword and shouted: "Fight!" Du Bozhen personally led the soldiers to fight. There were more and more Qi soldiers around him. Du Bozhen's face was already covered with blood. Seeing that the enemy was numerous, he ordered: "The whole army followed me to break through." The centurion next to him said: "General, don't you care about the food and grass!"

Du Bozhen thought for a while and said: "The food and grass can be transported again if they are destroyed. The soldiers have been trained for several years. It takes three years for an elite soldier to train. The food is harvested three times a year. Break through immediately!"

The Zhu army retreated, and ten carts of food and grass were seized by the Qi army. A clan leader shouted: "Warriors, Follow me to chase the enemy!"

Suddenly, a man shouted: "Hei Clan Leader, stop chasing. We are mainly here to seize their food and grass, not to kill the enemy. Now our goal has been achieved. Burn these food and grass quickly and retreat immediately!"

Hei Clan Leader asked puzzledly: "Changche Clan Leader, the enemy has retreated, why don't you chase them?"

Changche Clan Leader explained: "The Ju army is well-equipped, and our army is not sure if it will fight the Ju army head-on, so burn the food and grass immediately and retreat!" - Yes!

Inside the tent

Zhou Borui looked at Du Bozhen, who was covered in blood, and said: "Well done, you continue to lead the troops to transport food and grass. Remember that the plan has changed. The food and grass transported later are all real food and grass. After the enemy's second ambush, we will use real ambushes!"

Du Bozhen puzzled"General, didn't you say that you would use an ambush the second time you pretended to transport food? Why do we continue to transport food?"

Zhou Borui smiled and said, "Our food and grass were destroyed this time. According to the idea, our army will definitely send more people to transport food and grass, and the enemy will no longer dare to harass our food transport team too much, because if they take too many baths, it will only increase the number of our food transport team, which is not good for them. I asked you to continue to transport food, just to wait until the enemy robbed our food and grass for the second time, and let the enemy succeed for the second time. The enemy will want to rob for the third time, and then you can use an ambush to transport food again. And I guess the enemy is also worried that we will use an ambush, so let them rob again!"-Yes!

Zhou Borui said again: "It's up to you later!"…………
