The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Inside the tent

Gong Ziang stared at the map, not knowing what he was thinking. Yin Chen walked in and said, "General, those 50,000 new soldiers are already able to obey orders. As long as they fight a battle and see blood, they can also be called elite soldiers."

Gong Ziang said seriously, "Yin Chen, it is not so easy to train an elite army. It takes at least five months of training to be called a combat-ready army, about a year to be called a brave army, and more than two years to be called an elite army. If you participate in wars again, you can be called a battle-hardened army. Now you have to focus on training the soldiers, mix some veterans with the new soldiers, and let the veterans lead the new soldiers."

"Yes! General." Yin Chen said.

At this time, Geng Ying came in and said, "General, according to the scouts, we found traces of the Zhao army a hundred miles away."

"The traces of the Zhao army, Geng Ying, send out all the scouts in your army and make sure to find out the whereabouts of the Zhao army." Gongzi Ang ordered.

…………

"General, which road is this? Can we really reach Handan by taking this road?" A lieutenant walked with difficulty on this rugged mountain road.

Fei Yi said: "In order to avoid the scouts of the Wei army, we can only take this road. The Wei army will definitely not know about this road. In this way, we can reach Handan without anyone noticing and defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop!"

Fei Yi looked at the soldiers behind him, then looked up at the sky and said: "Rest for a while and go later."

Fei Yi took out the map and ordered: "Le Li, you lead the army to the east gate of Handan, someone will pick you up. Remember, you must wait until I lead the army to fight the Wei army, don't come to support me, go to the east gate immediately, and transport food and grass into Handan."

"Yes, I understand." Le Li replied.

Fei Yi sighed, "Prince Ang is a smart man. I am worried that we will lose this time. This time, Wei must be very well prepared to attack our Zhao State, otherwise we will be controlled by the Wei army everywhere."

Le Li asked, "General, what will you do after we transport the food and grass in?"

"If we lose, I will lead the remaining troops to retreat to Jinyang." Fei Yi replied.

After a few days, it was the agreed time. Tai Chengwu stood on the top of the city, looking into the distance, hoping to see the shadow of Fei Yi's army.

Zhao Ke came over and asked, "Prime Minister, can we go out of the city to fight the Wei army now?"

"No! It's not noon yet, we can't go out of the city to fight the Wei army." Tai Chengwu said.

Zhao Ke was puzzled and said, "I really don't understand why the military advisor asked us to go out of the city to fight at noon?"

"Because the weather is hot at noon, you are afraid of heat, and the enemy is also afraid of heat, so the vigilance of the Wei army will be reduced a lot. The chance of winning this time will be greater." Tai Chengwu said.

"I see."

Tai Chengwu asked, "Zhao Ke, you will lead the battle with the Wei army this time. Remember not to fight too long. If the military advisor's army has not arrived after an hour, withdraw immediately!"

"Yes!"

GongziAng boarded the nest car and observed the situation in Handan City. He smiled and said, "Tai Chengwu, I will defeat Handan with this battle this time!"

Inside the tent

Prince Ang ordered, "According to my observation, the soldiers in Handan City are gathering. It is estimated that the Zhao army will go out of the city to fight me. General Baning, you lead the front and middle armies to deal with the soldiers in Handan. I will personally lead 30,000 soldiers to deal with the Zhao army coming to support."

"General, if all the soldiers are used to deal with the Zhao army coming to support, I am worried that we will be defeated head-on." Baning explained the reason.

Prince Ang said with a smile: "Handan's soldiers have been defeated by our army many times, and their morale is extremely low. The soldiers have no fighting spirit at all. The new soldiers are enough to deal with them. As for Zhaojun's troops coming to support them, they are in full swing and must be defeated by Wuzu."

Cuan Xiang, who led the Wuzu, asked: "General, if all the Wuzu soldiers are out, what should we do with the central army camp?"

"As long as we defend the rear army camp, the Zhao army will not be able to threaten the central army. I plan to turn the rear army camp into the burial place of the Zhao army..." said Prince Ang.

"General, a great idea."

At noon

Handan opened the west gate, and Zhao Ke led 40,000 local soldiers to take the opportunity to kill the Wei army.

The front line of the Wei army was caught off guard, and more than a thousand Wei soldiers were defeated in less than a moment. Zhao Ke drove the chariot and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill!"

The morale of the Zhao army increased greatly, sweeping away the previous haze and rushing towards the Wei army camp.

On the chariot, Baning was staring at every move in front, holding a flag and saying: "Archers in front, halberd soldiers in the back, chariots cover."

Just as the Zhao army was pursuing the victory, the Wei army's chariots rushed towards the Zhao army, and the archers behind fired arrows together, and the Zhao army's offensive was blocked at once.

Zhao Ke felt something was wrong. The Wei army was fully prepared. Just as he was thinking, a large number of Wei troops rushed out from both wings. The Zhao army was forced to divide its troops to block them. Baning saw the opportunity and ordered: "All troops press forward! Archers and crossbowmen provide cover!"

The Zhao army was attacked from three sides. Zhao Ke came up with a countermeasure while killing the enemy. He said: "The cavalry rushes the enemy on both wings, and the infantry follows behind!"

The Zhao cavalry rushed into the Wei army's formation as if they were risking their lives. The Zhao infantry rushed to the gap under the leadership of the death soldiers, and the Wei army was forced to retreat.

Fei Yi stood on a hillside, observing the current situation. Seeing that the Wei army had been pinned down and the rear camp of the Wei army was almost empty, he was overjoyed and said, "This battle will be my battle of fame!"

Fei Yi immediately ordered, "Deputy General Li Yan, you lead 10,000 soldiers to attack the enemy's rear army first, and I will be responsible for the support from behind!"

Li Yan led 10,000 soldiers to attack the rear camp of the Wei army. As soon as he rushed into the camp, a large number of Wei soldiers rushed out from all sides. Gongzi Ang drove a chariot and shouted with a smile, "Fei Yi! You fell into my trap! Kill with all the troops, and don't let anyone go!"

Li Yan saw that it was actually Wei Wuzu, and there were Wei soldiers on all sides. He drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, there is no way to retreat! Follow me to kill!"

Fei Yi was thankful in the rear, thinking, "Fortunately, I didn't send everyone forward." At this time, he couldn't defeat the Wei army, so Fei Yi ordered, "Attack with all the troops."

Report~~ "General, another group of Zhao soldiers have come out from the rear."

"What! It seems that I still underestimated him. Order Cuan Xiang to lead 10,000 people to stop him." Prince Ang ordered.

In the direction of the East Gate, since the main party was attracted to the west, not many people were left. At this time, the East Gate suddenly opened, and Zhao Yong led 7,000 people to kill, driving the chariot in front of the soldiers, shouting: "Brothers, it's time to serve the country, kill Wei dogs!"

At this time, Le Li took 5,000 people to transport food and grass and rushed to the East Gate. Le Ping personally led the soldiers to fight bravely. The Wei army had no power to fight back.

A Wei army general was commanding the army to form a battle array on the arrow tower. Zhao Yong saw it and bent his bow and shot an arrow at the front gate. The Wei general accidentally fell from the building in pain. Once the general died, the Wei army could only fight on their own.

Zhao Yong drove his chariot towards the Wei army formation, which had not yet formed. The army was dispersed as soon as it rushed. Several Wei army lieutenants rushed towards Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong stabbed three Wei army lieutenants to death in succession, and the Wei soldiers were so scared that they dared not move forward.

A Wei army lieutenant saw Zhao Yong rushing in and out of the Wei army as if he was in an empty space. He was furious and drove his chariot towards Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong also noticed the Wei general and laughed, "Another one is here to die." He rushed towards the Wei general with a long halberd in his hand. In just one round, he cut off the head of the Wei general with a halberd.

The Wei generals were so frightened that they dared not move forward and could only command their troops to surround and kill Zhao Yong from behind. Zhao Yong looked around and saw the Wei army approaching step by step. At this critical moment, he shouted in a rough voice: "Your Highness, I'm here to save you!"

Zhao general Niu Jian carried a big axe and led hundreds of death warriors to fight their way out. Niu Jian, covered in blood, was like a mountain, pressing the Wei soldiers to not dare move forward. Niu Jian cursed: "A bunch of cowards!"

After saying that, he jumped on the chariot to protect Zhao Yong and fled. No one in the Wei army dared to chase him.

Under the cover of Zhao Yong, the grain and grass entered Handan smoothly, and the Wei army could only sigh at the grain.

When Fei Yi saw that his army was gradually unable to hold on, he immediately ordered: "Retreat!"

The Zhao army quickly retreated, and when they retreated to a certain distance, the archers covered the army's retreat, and there was no chaos at all. Gongzi Ang sighed after seeing this: "Fei Yi's use of troops should not be underestimated."

When Tai Chengwu saw Fei Yi's army retreating from the tower, he knew that Fei Yi's plan had failed, and ordered: "Sound the horn to retreat."

In the tent

Yin Chen reported: "General, in this battle, our army killed 30,000 Zhao soldiers, and our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and Wei Wuzu also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties."

After hearing this, Gongzi Ang sighed: "It turned out that the casualties were 1 to 3. It seems that I still miscalculated."

Report~~"General, battle report."

"Where is the battle report?" Gongzi Ang asked.

The soldier said: "General, the Zhao army took advantage of the fact that our main forces were all paying attention to the west gate and rushed out from the east gate. Our army was not well prepared and was almost defeated by the Zhao army. We suffered more than a thousand casualties. In addition, a fierce general of the Zhao army killed three of our lieutenants, shot and killed a general, and beheaded a lieutenant of our army in front of the battle! The Zhao army also took the opportunity to transport some food and grass into Handan."

"Fei Yi is a man who should not be underestimated. I miscalculated. I didn't expect that he actually made two preparations. If there is no chance, our army will take the opportunity to enter Handan with food and grass. By the way, do you know the name of that fierce general?" Gongzi Ang asked.

"That fierce general seems to be the prince of Zhao." The soldier replied.

Gongzi Ang exclaimed: "The prince of Zhao is so brave, and he leads the army alone to fight in and out. He must be full of strategies. This person will become a strong enemy of our Wei!"

Ba Ning asked: "General, what should we do next?"

"Continue to surround the enemy unfairly, trap the enemy here bit by bit, and actively look for a breakthrough point. Once you find it, attack with all your strength!" Gongzi Ang ordered.

"Yes!"
