The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Shangyu

On the tower, Shangyu defender Zhao Ping looked at the Qin army not far away, his face calm. The deputy general Jing You beside him said anxiously: "General, the enemy is powerful, our army should focus on defense and harassment as a supplement."

Zhao Ping turned around and said: "Order the whole army to stay and not go out, and distribute the food and grass in the city evenly!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ping returned to the mansion, looked at the map on the wall, and smiled: "Wei Yang, what a pity! You are still too impetuous."

Deputy General Jing You rushed in and said: "General, another Qin army has arrived in Shangyu Nearby, the Qin army has at least 80,000 people!"

Zhao Ping whispered a few words to Jing You's ear, and Jing You said happily: "General, you are wise!"

Ten miles outside the city, Wei Yang looked at the map carefully, and a personal soldier came in and said: "General, General Jing Jian is here."

"Oh! Beat the drums to gather the generals!"

After the generals arrived, Jing Jian bowed and said: "Da Liangzao, Luonan and Shangai have been completely occupied. Our army has beheaded 3,000 enemy soldiers and seized 100,000 stones of grain and grass."

Wei Yang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good! General Jing Jian did a good job. That's right!"

Ying Ji asked: "Da Liang Zao, what should we do next?"

Wei Yang said to everyone: "According to the secret report of the spies, there are more than 10,000 defenders in the city. We can't attack too hard, so I want to ask you if you have any good ideas?"

When Ying Ji was about to answer, Ying Hua said first: "Da Liang Zao, how about we use tunnels to attack the city? I heard that the Wei army often breaks through strong cities by digging tunnels."

"You are right. The Wei army's siege method is to use strong troops to capture small cities and to use tunnels to capture strong cities. But we have to fight this battle quickly, so we can't delay. I plan to build a large number of siege equipment, ladders, catapults, and siege towers. These siege equipment are manufactured in large quantities. We must build 100 ladders, 80 catapults, 50 siege towers, and 20 chariots within ten days! Ying Ji, you are responsible for this matter. I will give you 3,000 people to build it. If it is not built well, all of you will be beheaded! "

"Daliangzao, this is impossible! Can't you give us a few days? If you want to kill us, why don't you just find a reason to kill us!" Ying Hua said angrily.

Wei Yang rebuked: "Ying Hua! According to Qin law, those who contradict the commander will be beheaded! If you have any objections, just keep them to yourself! I can tell you clearly now that the Wei army can be built in ten days with 3,000 soldiers!"

"The Wei army is the Wei army, and we are the Qin army! And as far as I know, the Wei army's army is made by specialized craftsmen. Every time the Wei army goes out to war, it also brings a large number of craftsmen. We, the Qin army, don't bring so many craftsmen at all!" Ying Hua still contradicted.

"Ying Hua! Stop talking! I obey your order!" Ying Ji received the order.

Wei Yang saw that Ying Ji obeyed his order and didn't say anything more, but warned: "Ying Hua! Li Gui is a prince of Qin, and he should set an example and not violate Qin law! I punish you to feed the horses! You will be a groom in the army!"

YingHua angrily threw the sword on his waist to the ground, took off his armor, and left the tent without looking back.

No one dared to plead for Ying Hua. After all, Shang Yang was really too ruthless. He would exile people if others praised his reforms. He would also exile people if others said his reforms were good. It can be said that everyone in the whole Qin State wanted to kill him except Ying Quliang who valued him!

Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Yang ordered: "I plan to divide the whole army into three camps. Jing Jian will lead the front army to guard the left camp, Jing Hua will lead the left army to guard the right camp, I will lead the middle army to guard the middle camp, and Hei Fu will lead the rear army to build a small city 50 miles away from the middle camp to protect our army's food supply. Beacon towers will be set up every ten miles, and each beacon tower will be guarded by 100 people."

"Yes!" The generals bowed.

At night, a detachment of troops was quietly bypassing the Qin army's camp. Several Chu army scouts in khaki came over and whispered: "General, we have found the Qin army's food and grass. It is in a small town 20 miles away. The Qin army set up a beacon tower every ten miles, stretching for a hundred miles!"

"It's just as the general said! The whole army takes the small road!"

In the tent, Hei Fu and the new deputy general Meng Ben were discussing the food and grass issue. Meng Ben said: "General, the food and grass have not arrived today. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I think the soldiers who transported the food and grass will probably lose their heads."

"Wei Yang is too cruel! One day later will die! You know, those soldiers are also trained by us with great effort." Hei Fu complained.

Hei Fu asked: "Did you find the whereabouts of the Chu army along the way?"

"General, I didn't find the Chu army along the way. General, is it possible that the Chu army will sneak out of the city to attack us?" Meng Ben asked.

"Of course, Wei Yang, that idiot, left all the elite troops in front! He took all my elite troops away!" Hei Fu scolded.

"Patrol seriously!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of Chu soldiers quietly hid beside the small town. Jing You carefully observed the small town built by the Qin army and thought: "The small boat built by the Qin army is too sloppy!"

"General, what should we do next?" A centurion asked in a low voice.

"At midnight, we will launch a sneak attack. One team will attack the front gate, and the other team will follow me to chisel the wall and attack the camp!" Jing You ordered.

The Qin soldiers guarding the camp gate patrolled seriously. Suddenly, several arrows were shot and drums were beating. A team of Chu soldiers killed in the dark.

The Qin army guarding the camp gate went to stop the Chu army while shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The shouting shook the sky. After being awakened from his dream, Hei Fu hurriedly picked up his sword and led the soldiers out of the camp to resist. Losing food and grass would mean a three-tribe elimination game.

Just as the battle at the camp gate was getting intense, another team of Chu soldiers chiseled open the camp wall from the back and got in one after another. Jing You shouted: "Burn the food and grass!"

Central Army Camp

Wei Yang was still awake. He couldn't fall asleep because this was the first time the new army went to war. If they lost this battle, the reform would basically be over.

Report~~ "Daliang is not doing well! The Chu army attacked our rear camp!"

"What! Order Zhang Wu to lead the troops to resist the enemy, and the left and right camps to send troops to support!"

"Yes!"

Wei Yang kept praying in his heart, hoping that the food and grass would not be destroyed. This was his first battle and also his first battle to establish his prestige. He must rely on this battle to gain a firm foothold in Qin!

Shangyi

Zhao Ping estimated that Jing You was almost there, so he ordered: "Zhao Yun, you lead 5,000 people to attack the Qin army's central camp from the front, Qu Xiao, you lead 3,000 people to attack the Qin army's central camp from the left, Zihua, you lead 3,000 people to attack the Qin army's central camp from the right, and I will personally lead 3,000 people to support you! Besiege and defeat the enemy from three sides! Remember that you must break through within half an hour, and if you fail to break through after half an hour, you still have to retreat!"

"Yes!"

Wei Yang paced in the tent, and the personal soldiers beside him advised: "Da Liangzao, General Zhang will definitely be able to rescue the food and grass!"

"Shut up! How dare a soldier discuss military affairs! According to Qin law, those who discuss military affairs will be beheaded! Drag him out and behead him!" Wei Yang said angrily.

The soldier wanted to comfort Wei Yang, but he was dragged out and beheaded for no reason. Before being dragged out, the soldier kept cursing: "Wei Yang! You bastard! I curse you to die!"

Just after the soldier was dragged out and beheaded, a soldier rushed in and said hurriedly: "Da Liangzao, the Chu army is attacking the camp from the front!"

"Quick, go to defend!"

In less than a moment, another soldier rushed in and reported: "Da Liangzao, the Chu army is attacking from the left!"

"Order each general to fight!" Wei Yang was anxious.

Before he could recover, another soldier rushed in and said, "Daliangzao, the Chu army is attacking from the right! Our army has been surrounded by the Chu army on three sides! There is fire everywhere! We have no idea how many people there are in the Chu army! Our army cannot get close to the Chu army, and someone in the rear of the Chu army has been shooting with rockets!"

"Hurry up and defend! Hurry up and call the two camps on the left and right to come to support" Wei Yang was almost about to collapse.

"Yes!"

Just as the soldier was about to leave, another soldier rushed in and said in horror: "Da Liangzao, the Chu army has attacked! They have broken through the front barrier!"

Report~~"Da Liangzao, the Chu army has broken through the second row of horned deer!"

Report~~"Da Liangzao! The Chu army has attacked the front camp!"

Report............

Early morning

The Qin army retreated thirty miles to set up camp. Wei Yang's hair was disheveled and his clothes were dirty. He was thought to be a beggar. He kept his head down and had no spirit when he went to war. Yesterday, the food and grass were burned, the middle camp was broken, and the casualties were as high as 10,000. This was the most failed battle since he went to war.

Zhang Wu and others did not dare to look up at Wei Yang. After all, it was not good to touch his bad luck at this time. Wei Yang raised his head with dull eyes and asked: "Everyone, do you know who is the enemy's general guarding the city?"

The scout leader replied: "His name is Zhao Ping. Because he offended the clan leader Zhao Xixu, he was demoted here to be a small general guarding the city."

"Attack the city with all our strength in three days!" Wei Yang ordered.
