The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Pang Juan led 80,000 Wei soldiers to station on the right side of the Chu army. For half a month, he did not take the initiative to attack the Chu army camp, but kept confronting the Chu army.

In the Wei army camp, Pang Juan stared at the map and thought for a long time. Wei Cuo asked, "Brother Pang, do you want to notify the Han army to attack the Chu army with us now?"

Pang Juan shook his head and said, "No, although the number of soldiers between the two countries is indeed higher than that of the Chu army, the soldiers of different countries may not be really willing to cooperate with us. They will definitely delay each other. Who will fight in the front and who will fight in the back? If they unite, the coalition will definitely be uncoordinated, and the enemy will find flaws. It is better to fight in different positions."

Wei Cuo looked at the map and said, "Why don't we attack the Chu army first, and then the Han army will attack the flank and rear of the Chu army."

"No, the Han army will definitely let us consume a lot of Chu army first, and then send troops to assist us. If our army fights with the Chu army, there will be heavy casualties." Pang Juan objected.

Wei Cuo sighed: "Fighting with the Han army is a disadvantage. They hope that we will fight together with them, but they don't want us to be too strong! It is impossible to win if we work together like this."

Pang Juan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have found a plan to defeat the enemy!"

"Oh! What plan to defeat the enemy?" Wei Cuo asked anxiously.

Pang Juan said: "We can take a detour and go straight to Fangcheng of Chu. Fangcheng is not only the gate of the capital of Chu, but also the place where the Chu army stores food and grass. If our army occupies this place, we can threaten the capital of Chu, Yingdu, and the food and grass of the Chu army. It's a two-birds-with-one-stone move! And according to the spies, there are not many soldiers left in Fangcheng by the Chu army, only a few thousand people. Our army can make a move here."

Wei Cuo nodded and said: "It is indeed a good strategy. This strategy will definitely defeat the Chu army."

Pang Juan arranged: "In order to prevent the Chu army from knowing that we are retreating, I decided to place flags around the camp, dig trenches and barriers, pretending that we are going to fight here for a long time, and then we will leave at night! And I also plan to talk to the Han army and ask them to help us temporarily delay the Chu army. As long as they can delay the Chu army, they will share half of the captured Chu territory!"

"Okay! It is indeed a good idea to use benefits to make the Han army cooperate with our army. Shall we leave tonight?" Wei Cuo asked.

Pang Juan smiled and said, "Yes, leave tonight. I observed the sky yesterday and found that the moonlight must be dim tonight, which is suitable for leaving the camp at night!"

The next morning

Jing She, the chief general of the Chu army, has been here for nearly half a month, and has not attacked the Wei and Han armies. After all, he is also worried that the Han and Wei armies will attack the Chu army from both sides. In this case, the situation of the Chu army will be dangerous. Now he can only wait for the opportunity, wait for the Han and Wei armies to have a conflict, and then take the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Deputy General Jing Xiu said unhappily: "Grand Sima, our army has nearly 200,000 mercenaries, and the Han and Wei armies together are onlyIf they are equal to our army, it is better to fight the enemy directly. I don't believe that the Shenxi army of Chu can't beat the Wuzu of Wei! "

Jing She said seriously: "Jing Xiu! War is not a joke! If there is a mistake, the whole army will be wiped out, and even the country will be endangered! If you are defeated, can you bear it? This is a 200,000-man army!"

Jing Xiu asked helplessly: "Then may I ask the Grand Marshal, how should our army defeat the enemy?"

Jing She shook his head and said: "Now I haven't found the opponent's flaws. The camp of the Han army is well-organized. The prime minister of Han, Sun Bohai, has also come to the front line. Sun Bohai is also familiar with military affairs. I am afraid that he cannot be defeated in one fell swoop. The main general of the Wei army is Pang Juan. This person is also strategic. Fighting with him will definitely suffer a great loss. Don't look at his army. He has only 80,000 troops, but he can use the power of 80,000 people to make more than 100,000 people. ”

Zhaoyang suggested: "How about this, Grand Marshal? We build barriers and dig trenches in the direction of the Wei army, confront the Wei army, and then attack the Han army with heavy troops. How about that?"

Jingshe shook his head and said: "No, the Wei army has a siege weapon called the Thunderbolt Chariot. This siege weapon is very sharp. I am afraid that the barriers we built cannot stop it. Order the whole army not to fight and wait for the opportunity!"

"Yes." The generals said speechlessly.

At this time, the Wei army, led by Pang Juan, crossed mountains and ridges. Along the way, people held their mouths and horses wrapped their hooves and marched quickly. They traveled nearly a hundred miles a day. Pang Juan led the way and used the sharp sword in his hand to cut the grass and trees in front to open the way for the army.

While opening the way, he encouraged the army and said: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, we will soon reach Fangcheng. When we reach Fangcheng, we will be close to victory!"

Wei Cuo also encouraged: "Brothers, persistence is victory! The victory of this battle must belong to us! Remember that you are the most elite army of Wei State, and any difficulties will be trampled under our feet! "

Some recruits were already exhausted and panting. One recruit was already full of anger and complained: "A hundred miles a day, this, is this the way people walk? If I keep walking like this, I will die on the road."

An old soldier on the side hit him and said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about! Do you know that if we lose this battle, it will be our fellow villagers who will be injured! You are still so young and say such depressing words. I have reached more than 50 years old and have never complained about any hardship. If you don't want to fight, don't join the army! Besides, the general is marching with us!"

The recruit saw that the sergeant scolded him, and whispered: "Sergeant, I just complained a little. I don't mean anything else. ”

The old soldier smiled and said: "Okay, follow closely and don't fall behind. When you go to the battlefield, kill more enemies. Remember to get the enemy's heads. The more heads you get, the more money you can get! If you are afraid of seeing blood, I will lead you to kill. You just need to follow me and form a good formation. ”

The new soldier said embarrassedly: "Then I will ask the sergeant to lead us to earn heads."

The army marched for two days.One night, they finally arrived at the forest not far from Fangcheng. Pang Juan ordered: "Order the whole army to prepare for rest and start at night!"

"Yes!"

At night

Since the war between Wei and Chu, Fangcheng Pass has naturally strengthened its vigilance, but it has not yet been put on a tight defense with the army at the gate.

After all, most people in the pass had never thought that the Wei army could successively cross Tangxi and Hebo, two cities where the Chu army was stationed, and approach Fangcheng Pass a hundred miles away.

At this moment, at the gate of the pass, a Chu army stood with a halberd, and patrols of the Chu army passed by from time to time.

The Fangcheng garrison commander was in the house with other officials calculating the food and grass transported, and he did not feel that there would be any danger coming.

At this time, several Chu soldiers were walking towards the gate. The soldiers guarding the gate pointed their long spears at the soldiers. The centurion guarding the gate asked cautiously, "Who are you? Do you have a seal?"

A Chu soldier took out a token and said, "This is the general's token. The general ordered us to guard the gate! Now it's our turn."

The centurion carefully observed the token, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, brothers, let's go. It's up to you here."

After the centurion left with the soldiers guarding the gate, several Chu soldiers looked around and found that no one was coming. They hurried to the gate, quietly unlocked the gate, and gently pushed the gate open bit by bit.

A man walked up to the tower, took out a torch and waved it three times. Pang Juan outside the city saw the signal and said happily: "Brothers, follow me to kill!"

Inside the house, the garrison commander was about to go back to rest when a soldier rushed in, panting and saying: "General, it's not good. The Wei army has entered the city!"

"What! Come with me to resist the Wei army!" The garrison commander said as he went out with a sword.

The whole pass had already been filled with shouts of killing, and the Wei army was slaughtering the Chu army everywhere. The Chu army was caught off guard by the Wei army due to its unprepared defense and retreated step by step. When the garrison commander rushed to the city gate, the city gate had already been lost. The Wei army poured into the city like a flood. The garrison commander made up his mind, drew a sword, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill! Whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"………

In the early morning, the war in Fangcheng Pass finally came to an end at dawn.

With the help of the Wei army, General Pang Juan led his Wei army to successfully enter Fangcheng Pass last night.

The Chu army flag on Fangcheng had long been thrown into the moat by the Wei army. Now, the red flag of the Wei army was planted on Fangcheng.

Pang Juan was very happy. You know, in the entire history, only the Jin State had broken through the Fangcheng of Chu and defeated the Chu army. Only in the battle of Jin breaking the Fangcheng of Chu, Fangcheng was broken. Now, Pang Juan also led the Wei army to break through the Fangcheng of Chu. And he was not like the Jin State that led more than a dozen countries to attack Chu together, but relied on the power of one country to break through. Before that, Pang Juan alsoHe had led the Wei army to attack Fangcheng of Chu, but never broke through. However, he finally defeated the Chu army by using the strategy of climbing up the roof and pulling the ladder out. However, he also knew that the strategy was not proposed by him, but by his senior brother Sun Bin. However, he has now defeated the Chu army and broken through Fangcheng.

Pang Juan ordered: "The whole army will guard the pass and cut off all the food of the nearby Chu army and civilians, leaving nothing for Chu. If there are cities that can be broken around, break them, but do not rob the civilians of anything. All the food and grass in the treasury will be transported here!"

A lieutenant came to report: "General, our army has confiscated about 500,000 dan of food from the enemy."

"Okay, our army will win this battle!" Pang Juan said confidently.

…………

In Wancheng, Ling Yin Zhao Xixu almost fainted after learning from the Chu soldiers who escaped from Fangcheng that Fangcheng was occupied by the Wei army. You know, the food and grass of Jingshe's 200,000 troops were transported from Fangcheng. If Fangcheng was attacked, Jingshe's army's food and grass problem would be in danger!

Zhao Xixu hurriedly observed the map and then ordered: "The whole army retreats to Yingdu!"

The deputy general on the side asked in confusion: "Ling Yin, why should our army retreat?"

"If we don't retreat, then our Chu capital Yingdu will be under the attack of Pang Juan! Finally, order Jingshe to immediately return to help Chu to recapture Fangcheng! There are 5,000 people guarding Wancheng." Zhao Xixu said helplessly.

The deputy general replied: "Then may I ask Lord Ling Yin, should Wan County be handed over to Wei?"

"Wan County no longer belongs to our Chu State! If we stay here, we will be in danger. If we don't run away, we will be the ones to die! As long as the green mountains are there, there is no need to worry about firewood. Hurry up and call Jingshe back to retake Fangcheng. As long as Fangcheng is in Chu, it will be safe. Fangcheng also needs the gate of Wan County. Do you think you can stop the Wei army with just one city?" Ling Yin sighed.
