The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

At the Han army camp, Han army commander Bao Yuan respectfully asked: "Prime Minister, should we follow the Wei army's request? If we fight to the death with the Chu army, it may consume our strength."

Shen Buhai pondered for a while and said: "Of course, I looked at the map for a while and found that Pang Juan's strategy can be successful. Attacking Fangcheng of Chu can threaten Yingdu of Chu, and the food and grass of the Chu army are also in Fangcheng. The current 200,000-strong Chu army probably doesn't have much food and grass."

As soon as Bao Yuan heard it, he immediately said: "Prime Minister, let me lead the troops to attack the Chu army camp!"

Shen Buhai thought for a while and promised: "Bao Yuan, don't attack too hard, We must preserve the strength of our army."

"Yes!" Bao Yuan had just finished speaking when Zhang Kaidi walked in and objected: "Prime Minister, General, we cannot take the initiative to attack!"

Shen Buhai glanced at Zhang Kaidi and asked in confusion: "Why can't we take the initiative to attack?"

"Prime Minister, the Chu army camp is well-defended, and the army has more people than ours. If our army attacks rashly, we may become the second Qi army. Cao Gui held his ground and waited until the Qi army was exhausted before attacking with all his strength. If our Han army attacks the Chu army camp, the Chu army only needs to defend the camp and wait until our army is exhausted before attacking. In that case, our army will be completely destroyed!" Zhang Kaidi explained.

Shen Buhai thought for a while, looked at the map, and said: "Then we will surround the Chu army and station the army in three places, leaving only the Wei army camp unguarded. The Wei army camp is now an empty camp. Our army will hold on to the key place, but deliberately leave a way out for the Chu army, and this way out requires crossing the river. When the Chu army attacks and we cannot break through, and can only go to the Wei army, we will attack them halfway across the river!"

Bao Yuan nodded and said: "This is a good plan. I will station 50,000 front troops on the left side of the Chu army, 80,000 middle troops on the right side of the Chu army, and 30,000 rear troops in front of the Chu army, leaving the empty camp of the Wei army behind for the Chu army to escape!"

"Okay, that's it!" Zhang Kaidi said.

Then Shen Buhai ordered: "Bao Yuan will be in charge of the front army, I will be in charge of the middle army, and Zhang Kaidi will be in charge of the rear army. From today on, dig deep trenches and build ramparts and arrow towers!"

"Yes!"

Chu Army Camp

Jing She learned that the Chu army had been surrounded by the Wei and Han armies, and the situation was becoming more and more complicated. Deputy General Jing Xiu advised: "Grand Sima, it is better to take the initiative to attack quickly. Now our army has been surrounded by the Wei-Han coalition army, and the army's food and grass are the most At most, it is only enough for 15 days. If we don't attack quickly, we will be exhausted to death by the Wei and Han armies here!"

Jing She thought for a while and said, "Okay! According to the scouts, I already know the deployment of the Han army in the three camps. Jing Xiu, you lead 30,000 people to defend the camp and confront the Wei army. Don't take the initiative to attack the Wei army. I will lead 80,000 troops to attack the Han army camp in front. Zhaoyang, you lead 50,000 troops to attack the Han army camp on the right. Jingren, you lead 40,000 troops to attack the Han army camp on the left.Keep in mind that you two are mainly responsible for the Han army on the left and right sides, and you must not attack too fiercely! "

Zhaoyang suggested: "Grand Marshal, I think it would be better if we combine our two armies and attack one of the Han army with all our strength to win?"

Jingshe shook his head and said: "I also have to be careful of the other two marching leaders coming to support us. If our army is fighting vigorously, the Han army in the other two places will take the opportunity to attack our army again and again, then our army will be in danger! Start the attack from tomorrow morning, and prepare to conserve energy today."

"Understood." The generals bowed.

…………

The next morning, a fierce offensive and defensive battle began. The Chu army attacked the Han army camp in three directions. Jingshe personally led the army to attack the Han army's rear camp. Jingshe stood on the chariot, staring at the Han army camp, and shouted: "The first to break will be rewarded with a hundred gold! ”

Kill, kill~~ The Chu army attacked the Han army fiercely as if they were not afraid of death. Zhang Kai prepared fierce oil while ordering the soldiers to fight back with bows and crossbows.

The Han army stood on the ramparts and arrow towers. With so many Chu and Han soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the crossbows was directly exerted beyond the normal. Every Han soldier stepped on the Han crossbow, almost tirelessly, and shot desperately. The arrows were transported up in bundles. In less than a moment, the arrows that had just been transported were used up, and the soldiers who transported the arrows could only carry them continuously.

Jingshe was hit by the crossbows of the Han army He was shocked. Although he had heard that the bows and crossbows of Wei were very powerful, he had never fought them and didn't know. However, when he saw the bows and crossbows of the Han army, he was already stunned. The speed of these Han soldiers shooting arrows was too fast, right? And almost every Han soldier standing on the rampart was equipped with a bow and crossbow. Do they have so many arrows? But the Chu army still rushed to the Han army position in the dense rain of arrows in the air.

Jing She was very distressed. You know, the soldiers who led the battle were the private soldiers of his Jing family. Jing She ordered: "Archers shoot!"

A lieutenant reminded: "General, our army's bows and arrows can't shoot that far. If we want to fight back against the bows and crossbows of the Han army, our army must advance more than 100 steps, so that our archers are also within the attack range of the bows and crossbows of the Han army."

Jing She sighed in his heart: "The Han crossbow is really the strongest crossbow in the world! ”

Originally, he thought that attacking a camp of 30,000 people should be an easy task, but he didn’t expect to hit a nail here. The resistance of the Han army was too strong.

Jing She saw the Chu army falling one after another on the ground, and he couldn’t bear it, so he could only order: "The whole army retreats!"

Ding ding~~ "Sound the gong to withdraw the troops!" The Chu army retreated quickly like a tide. When retreating, Jing She glanced at the victory of the Han army in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "The best defensive army in the world should be the Han army."

In the evening, Jing She read the battle report and said: "Everyone, the degree of resistance on the march is beyond the imagination of our army, especially the bows and crossbows of the Han army, which are so powerful that they can shoot so far! If it is a field battle, our Chu army will definitely defeat the Han army, but unfortunately the Han armyAs long as we hold the dangerous position, we can't be defeated at all."

Jing Xiu suggested: "Grand Marshal, do you want to use catapults? Order the craftsmen to make catapults quickly, which will definitely break the enemy's barriers!"

"Okay! Make catapults immediately tonight!" Jing She had no choice but to use this method.

Report~~ A messenger rushed in and said anxiously: "Grand Marshal, it's not good. The Wei army took a small path to avoid Tangxi and Hebo, and took advantage of the emptiness of Fangcheng. The fair Fangcheng, Lord Ling Yin ordered you to return to Chu and recapture Fangcheng!"

"What! Fangcheng is lost! "Jing Xiu said in surprise.

Jing She felt dizzy at this time, and just as he fell down, Jing Xiu and Jing Hong rushed to help him. After Jing She calmed down for a while, he slowly said: "I can't catch up with Pang Juan's use of troops. Order the whole army to retreat from the Wei army's position immediately. The Wei army camp is now an empty camp. Leave tonight!"

Jing Hong said: "Grand Sima, our army has been fighting with the Hang army for so long today and is already exhausted. If we retreat at night, the soldiers may..."

"Enough, Fangcheng has been occupied and our army's food and grass and contact with the country have been cut off. If we don't escape, it will be all over! No matter how tired the soldiers are, they must escape from here tonight! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Jing She said angrily.

"Yes! "The generals bowed their hands in worry.

…………

In the morning, Shen Buhai also learned that the Chu army had left at night, and said with a smile: "Jingshe probably learned that Fang Chen was occupied by the Wei army. Everyone, let's follow the Chu army now. Don't catch up with the King of Chu. Just keep a distance of 30 meters. When they are fighting with the Wei army, our army will attack from behind!"

"The Prime Minister is wise." Zhang Kai said flatteringly.

Shen Buhai said again: "Bao Yuan, you take 100,000 troops to continue attacking the State of Chen. You must destroy the State of Chen! I will lead 60,000 troops to pursue the Chu army."

"Yes!"
