The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Pang Juan saw that the Qin army had moved first, and a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes, as if the Qin army had already fallen into his plan. Pang Juan ordered: "Order Long Jia to hold his ground and not come out, just defend it."

The Qin army began to advance, and the first one was the chariot team led by the veteran general Shu Changguo. Chariots were the absolute king of soldiers in this era. As long as the terrain was flat, they could break almost all infantry formations.

Long Jia was good at defense and battle formations. He immediately used 10,000 Tiger Ben troops as the front, archers behind them, and the rest of the troops raised halberds to support. Rows of long halberds stood in a forest, like a halberd forest.

"Crossbowmen, fire~" Long Jia ordered at the right time.

In a moment, thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, and Shu Changguo's chariot charge team was shot down before they arrived. But this did not stop the Qin army's attack. The two armies were three miles apart, but it was only a matter of a moment in front of the galloping war horses. Soon, there were violent collisions and countless shouts. The Qin army's chariots and horses hit the Wei army's shields violently, but the Wei army was able to block them. This is the difference between elite troops and recruits. The Wei army could dominate the Warring States period for nearly a hundred years, and its combat power and endurance were incomparable to ordinary armies. The fear of chariots lies in their huge impact force, which can quickly disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the infantry advances, causing the enemy to be defeated. Now that the first wave of attacks has been blocked by the Wei army, there is nothing to be afraid of. The Wei army began to counterattack, with shields forward and long halberds thrusting forward.

Wei Shen smiled after seeing this and said to Pang Juan: "General, it seems that the Qin army is not that good. Even after the reform, they are still the same as before."

On the contrary, Pang Juan did not think so and whispered: "Your Highness, the Qin army used to attack on their own, but when the enemy's front army attacked, their infantry and chariots were able to cooperate with each other and were not in chaos. This shows that the Qin army is much stronger than before."

Sure enough, as Pang Juan said, one Qin soldier led four infantrymen as a team, five people one attack, one defense and one cover. If it weren't for the Tiger Guards in front, if it was replaced by the ordinary Wei army, it would really be incomparable to the Qin army.

Long Jia was indeed the most defensive general in the Wei army. He immediately ordered: "Hu Ben detachment, attack the flank, archers cover!"

The Qin army and the Wei army had been in a stalemate. The Qin general Shu Changguo saw the Wei army change its formation and took advantage of this opportunity to order: "The armored soldiers are in front, the infantry are in the back, and attack the enemy command directly!"

Long Jia watched the Qin army rushing towards him, and the captain next to him said with horror: "General, the enemy is coming towards us! The personal soldiers are in front! Protect the general!"

Long Jia had a blank expression on his face, and smiled in his heart: "Shu Changguo, I didn't expect it to be you, an old thing again. I have known your little tricks for a long time."

"Surround!"

The Wei army suddenly changed its formation, and the Qin army that had just rushed in surrounded them. The archers shot arrows together and shot more than a thousand Qin soldiers in the formation.

Shu Changguo saw more than a thousand people being shot and killed by the Wei army. He had to swallow his anger. Why did he always fall for his tricks?

Shu Changguo cursed Long Jia not far away: "Old Long Jia,Man, if you have the guts, don't defend yourself. Let's fight! Bastard!"

The guards on the side saw the commander swearing in front of so many people, but they felt that their general seemed to have a good relationship with the generals of the Wei army on the opposite side.

Long Jia seemed not to hear it, and also cursed at Shu Changguo: "Shu Changguo! You softie! You have been fighting with me for so long and still haven't broken through my defense line! Now I'm here, let's see if you can break through my defense line!"

Shu Changguo ordered the messenger on the side: "Immediately tell Daliangzao to request more reinforcements! I want to capture the old man Long Jia alive!"

"Yes!"

Shang Yang also saw from a distance that the front army's attack was not going well. In order to prevent the left and right armies of the Wei army from outflanking, he immediately ordered: "The left and right armies attack the enemy's two wings, and the sharp soldiers go forward to support General Shu Changguo! ”

Thousands of black-armored warriors charged at the Wei army, and the pressure on the Wei army increased instantly. The black-armored warriors wore armor like the Wei Wuzu, and pierced the Wei army's defense line like a sharp sword. Long Jia also felt bad at this time.

"The personal soldiers came forward to support!" Long Jia ordered.

More than a thousand personal soldiers attacked the gap and barely blocked the attack of the Qin warriors. The Hu Ben army also immediately changed its formation, with seven people in a team. The ability of cooperation far exceeded the five people of the Qin army. Long Jia also found that the thousands of Qin warriors were the elite of the Qin army, and ordered: "Strangle the black-armored Qin army with all your strength! Don't let any one go! The crossbowmen cover!"

The battle lasted until noon. Pang Juan looked up at the sky and then looked at Long Jia's side. He saw that Long Jia had personally led the soldiers to fight, and ordered: "Ten thousand people go to support General Long Jia. ”

Long Jia fought hard with his sword and had cut several holes with it. Finally, reinforcements arrived and the pressure on the Wei army was reduced a lot.

Shang Yang found that the front army seemed to be a little loose, and several soldiers turned around and ran away. "According to Qin law, those who flee in battle will be killed; those who dare to be partial will be punished together!" Wei Yang shouted loudly on the chariot.

The soldiers who wanted to run were also killed by their comrades. Wei Yang pointed the long sword in his hand forward and shouted loudly: "The old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together. The life and death of Qin depends on this battle. The whole army will attack." In a short time, the whole Qin army pressed forward. The Qin army had an advantage of 20,000 more than the Wei army. At the last moment, the number of people was the key to victory.

"Bows and arrows were fired together, and the rear army pressed forward to beat the Qin army back. "Pang Juan gave the order without hesitation.

Wei Shen's palms were sweating. At present, the Wei army had already shown signs of defeat. Long Jia was just holding on, but the Qin army in front had 20,000 more soldiers than Long Jia. The left and right armies were still restrained by the Qin army and could not support Long Jia, but Pang Juan was reluctant to send more troops to support.

Wei Shen advised: "General, don't you still have 20,000 people in your hands? Send them up quickly."

Pang Juan did not speak but looked into the distance, as if he was estimating something.

At this time, Shang Yang had only 10,000 people left. He also found that the Wei army could no longer hold on. When he was about to continue to send troops, a flag of the Wei army appeared in the back. It was Meng Wu leading 30,000 soldiers.The Wei army took the opportunity to attack. Pang Juan had told Meng Wu to come to support them long before the battle began. They just waited until the Qin army pressed forward, and the rear army of the Qin army had already attacked Duping Mountain, leaving the rear defenseless.

Shang Yang saw that the battle situation was not good, and immediately ordered: "Turning soldiers!"

Pang Juan smiled and ordered: "All troops to attack!"

On Duping Mountain, Zhai Kai relied on the terrain to almost suppress the Qin army. The more than ten crossbow carts on it set fire to the Qin army, and even took the time to attack the left army of the Qin army.

After seeing Pang Juan's signal, Zhai Kai ordered: "Brothers! Kill!"

The Wei army took advantage of the situation and went down. The Qin army was originally on the offensive side, and its physical strength had dropped to the extreme. The morale of the Wei army was strong, and they defeated the rear army of Qin in one go. The rear army commander Hei Fu was also killed by the Wei army.

Shang Yang ordered: "The whole army will turn west! General Shu Changguo will cover the rear!" The only thing that can be done now is to cut off one's arm. Only the veteran Shu Changguo can complete this task. Although he knows that he will die, he can still carry out the task.

Pang Juan knew that he should not put the enemy in a deadly situation, otherwise the enemy will go from a defeated army to a weak army.

Order: "Leave a gap for the Qin army to escape to the west! General Long Jia will pursue! Encircle the two wings!"

The war did not end until the afternoon. Qin general Shu Changguo was captured. Nearly 50,000 Qin soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 40,000 Wei soldiers were killed in the battle, but more than 10,000 Qin soldiers were also captured. The Qin army almost fought a 1:1 loss with the Wei army.

Shu Changguo was brought to the camp. Pang Juan personally untied the old enemy general and said respectfully: "I hope you are well, old general!"

Shu Changguo stretched his body, sighed and said: "I was defeated by you again. I was defeated by you when I attacked Hexi. I remember you were still a young man, full of vigor and vitality. I didn't expect that you are already middle-aged now. Time flies so fast."

Long Jia came over and pretended to laugh: "Old man, why didn't you break through my defense again! Who was it that I drove away many times in Hexi?"

"If you have the ability, you can fight me head-on. I let my guard down those times in Hexi! And you, old thing, are like a turtle. You just shrink your head and never come out. You always wear down the morale of my army, and then you come out to fight my army!" Shu Changguo also retorted.

Long Jia laughed and said, "Who would go and fight an enemy army that is in full force?"

Wei Shen also came over and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, old general. Let's eat something first."

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Shu Changguo greets the Crown Prince." Shu Changguo saluted.

After sitting down, Shu Changguo asked, "Pang Juan, how did you ask Meng Wu to suddenly appear behind our army?"

"I had already estimated the time, but I asked Meng Wu to avoid the Qin army's eyes and ears. We marched all night last night and estimated that it would arrive around noon. Moreover, Shang Yang was too eager to prove himself and couldn't keep his cool. In addition, our army was the first to seize Duping Mountain, so we can threaten the Qin army from the side and rear, and we can also place a crossbow cart on it to attack the Qin army's left army from a distance.In order to protect its rear, the Qin army could only ask the rear army to attack Du Pingshan, so that the rear of the Qin army would be empty, and Meng Wu could take advantage of the opportunity to enter. "

"You are still so good at using troops! It's no wonder that the Qin army was defeated this time!" Shu Changguo took a sip of wine and said.

Wei Shen also said: "After the two countries negotiate peace, I will send someone to send the general back to Qin."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. After this battle, I should retire. As for how Qin will leave, it is none of my business. I have tried my best!"

"Today, I will only drink, drink!"

"Good! Drink!"
