The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Chapter 252

Tian Ji felt bad and said: "Mr. Sun Bin, we have already fled to the territory of Song State, but the Wei army commander Pang Juan seems to be very cautious. Every time he passes a narrow place, he will definitely send troops to explore. It seems that we can't ambush at Ma Ling Road at all!"

Sun Bin smiled and said: "Brother Tian Ji, don't panic. I have thought of a plan to lure the enemy."

"What plan?"

"Reduce the number of stoves!"

"How to implement it?"

Sun Bin explained: "Pang Juan likes to determine the number of enemies by counting stoves. There are still 120,000 soldiers left in our army, and the army is 10 people per That is to say, there are 12,000 stoves in the whole army. On the first day, we reduced the number of stoves to 10,000, on the second day, we reduced the number to 7,000, and on the third day, we reduced the number to 5,000. This place is just three days away from Ma Ling Road. Along the way, we have to discard some baggage flags to make Pang Juan mistakenly think that our army has already fled, so that Pang Juan will definitely underestimate the enemy! " Tian Ji said happily: "Mr. Sun Bin, after this battle, your name will definitely be engraved on the bell and tripod!" Tian Pan felt sick watching the two of them. Why did he feel that Tian Ji listened to Sun Bin's words more obediently than to the king's words?

Sun Bin saw Tian Pan leave, and whispered to Tian Ji: "Brother Tian Ji, after this battle, you will be considered as a great hero! I guess you will be envied and framed when you go back! You are too loyal. After this battle, you will have a lot of troops in your hands. It is better to become the king!"

"Mr. Sun Bin, I can listen to you about the war, but I, Tian Ji, am not that kind of person!"

Sun Bin saw that Tian Ji didn't want to do that, and sighed: "After this battle, I should retire to the mountains and forests and write books!"

"General, the Qi army has thrown away their armor and helmets, and it is estimated that they have retreated! Should we pursue them with all our strength?"

Pang Juan waved his hand and said: "Wei Zhang, I will teach you one more thing today. To confirm the enemy's strength and whether the enemy has collapsed, you have to look at the stoves they left behind! If the stoves are getting fewer and fewer, it means that many people in the Qi army have already fled, and this army has also been defeated. Master, Wei Zhang, you have a stove! "| = |" Yes! "| = | After a while, Wei Zhang came back and reported:" A total of 12,000 stoves in Qi Jun "| = | Pang Juan led his soldiers near Song Guoyang, and Pang Juan said to Wei Zhang again: "Wei Zhang, the battle must be due to food. Now we come to Song Guoan Yang, there are so many mature millets, and so many villages, what do you think to do?" The grains and land in the village are snatched all! "| = |" Yes! "| = | Song people's food was ransacked by Wei Jun.The people, nor did he send troops to fight against the Wei army, as if this matter was not his business.

After the Wei army ate the food of the Song people, Pang Juan waved his hand and said: "Continue to pursue!"

The next day

Pang Juan asked: "How many stoves does the Qi army have?"

Wei Zhang reported: "General, there are only 10,000 stoves left in the Qi army."

"Good! It seems that the Qi army has already fled!"

Along the way

The Wei army saw the abandoned baggage and flags of the Qi army from time to time. Pang Juan smiled and pointed at the Qi army flags on the ground and said to Wei Zhang: "Wei Zhang! You see that the Qi army has abandoned baggage and flags, which means that some people in the Qi army have fled."

Wei Zhang bowed and said: "General, you are wise! Now that Sun Bin can't escape!"

"Well! This time I have gone on a long expedition and put myself in danger. We are going to fight Sun Bin in front of the world!"

Pang Juan ordered: "Order the army to advance quickly! Make sure to catch up with the Qi army!"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Sun Bin, the speed of the Wei army's pursuit seems to have increased a lot. It seems that Pang Juan has taken the bait."

Sun Bin flashed a sharp look and said fiercely: "Pang Juan! You crippled my legs! I will cripple you and the 100,000 troops in your hands! King of Wei! I want to see if you will vomit blood if 100,000 elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles are gone!"

Sun Bin said again: "Brother Tian Ji, now we have to make preparations for the next step. You send Tian Pan to lead 10,000 archers to ambush on both sides of Ma Ling Road. We will personally lure Pang Juan into our trap! ”

Tian Ji said in panic: "Mr. Sun Bin, this is too dangerous."

Sun Bin shook his head and said: "I must lure Pang Juan here this time. If I send someone else to lure him, I am afraid that Pang Juan will be suspicious. Only if I lure him personally, he will definitely bring people here!"

"Why?"

"Because one of us must be the most powerful! One of us must win! Only I can make Pang Juan interested in chasing me regardless of his own safety! Because only I can plot against him!"

The third day

Pang Juan asked: "How many stoves are left in the Qi army today?"

Wei Zhang felt a little puzzled and said: "General, the Qi army only has Seven thousand. General, why do I feel that this might be Sun Bin's trick? And the Qi army's generals didn't care about the rout? "

Pang Juan shook his head and smiled and said, "It can't be Sun Bin's trick. First, this place is very close to the territory of Qi. The Qi people have been defeated by our army continuously, and their morale is low. They are close to home, so rout is inevitable. Second, the Qi army's commander Tian Ji is incompetent. This person asks Sun Bin for everything. There are many loopholes in the previous command. Commanding an army is like an arm. It depends on military discipline. This shows that the Qi army's military discipline is extremely poor. It is inevitable that they can't stop the rout. Third, Sun Bin is a disabled person, a disabled person without prestige. How can the soldiers in the army be willing to obey his orders?"

Wei Zhang was fascinated after listening, and nodded in approval. He didn't expect the doorway here.So many, it seems that he still thinks too little, or is too young, almost talking about everything without any flaws.

Pang Juan warned again: "Wei Zhang, fighting is not a child's play, you must be comprehensive and considerate at all times! Don't just know one thing and not the other, you have to watch my performance this time!"

"Yes!"

Day 4

Pang Juan asked: "How many stoves does the Qi army have?"

"General, there are only 5,000 Qi troops left."

"Five thousand?"

Pang Juan immediately felt something was wrong, this reduction was a bit fast, this was not in line with the rules. Pang Juan immediately ordered someone to bring a map, and after reading it, his eyes kept staring at Ma Lingdao.

"Ma Ling Road?"

Wei Zhang saw that Pang Juan seemed to be worried, so he asked, "General, what happened to Ma Ling Road?"

Pang Juan expressed his doubts, "I feel something is wrong with the Qi army. It stands to reason that at most 20,000 or 30,000 of an army of 120,000 people would escape. This is a bit too much. It's impossible that Tian Ji can't even take care of this!"

Wei Zhang suggested, "General, why don't you ask the scouts?"

"Commander of the scout camp, what are the recent movements of the Qi army?"

The commander of the scout camp replied, "We didn't find anything unusual, but we found that a large number of Qi troops escaped."

Wei Zhang said, "General, I think the Qi army should have fled. First, the Qi army retreated within the territory of Wei, and our army can get intelligence at any time. The 120,000 Qi army can't hide, so it's difficult to ambush us; second, , there is no external reinforcement, the Duke of Song has surrendered and dare not help Qi, Qin, Zhao, Chu and Yan are too far away, Zhao has just been defeated, and if we send troops here, we will rob the food and grass of the Song people, and Song will be frightened and dare not send troops; thirdly, the Qi army has to fight, the king has ordered that this time not only must Qi be defeated but also Qi must be attacked, even if Sun Bin retreats to Qi, he still has to fight, leading an army of 100,000 but not daring to fight, and also causing the enemy to invade, the Duke of Qi will not use Sun Bin and Tian Ji again, and may even punish the two; fourthly, and most importantly, my Wei army is far superior to the Qi army, even if facing more than twice the number of Qi soldiers, we can still be invincible! "

Pang Juan nodded and praised: "Hahaha~~ Wei Zhang is not bad! Although Wei Zhang's opinion just now impressed me! Not bad! There is great progress!"

It's a pity that both of them thought the problem was complicated. If Wei Shen were here, he would probably be ready to debate with the scholars and refute their views.

Report～～"General, the main force of the Qi army has been discovered!"

"Is Sun Bin here?"

"Yes! We all saw Sun Bin, sitting on a four-wheeled cart!"

When Pang Juan heard the name Sun Bin, he ordered: "The whole army will catch up! Annihilate the Qi army!"

"Yes!"

"Sun Bin! You have been defeated by me once, why do you want to fight head-on again? Are you confused after being defeated!"

"Pang Juan! I, Sun Bin, will fight you head-on again!"

"Okay! The whole army will attack! Whoever kills Sun Bin will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins and be made a senior official!"

Kill, kill～～

Sun Bin said to Tian Ji: "Let me command! Let's see how Pang Juan commands the battle formation!"

"Infantry forward! Encircle the two wings!"

Pang Juan laughed and said: "Wu Zu attack the Qi army's center directly, and the two wings will cover! Bows and crossbows suppress the Qi army's attack!"

Kill, kill~~

Wei Wu Zu was like a broken bamboo in an empty land, and the Qi army could not stop the Wei Wu Zu's front. Sun Bin was also calm at the beginning, but the situation became more chaotic later. Sun Bin shook his head and laughed: "It seems that Pang Juan's battle formation is much better than mine, let's retreat!"

"Retreat! Doctor Zhong Shou will cover the rear!"

"Chase the Qi army! Don't let Sun Bin go! Kill Sun Bin!"

Thanks to Doctor Zhong Shou who fought to the death to cover the rear, otherwise the Qi army would have been defeated.

Pang Juan sighed: "Damn it! Let that Sun Bin escape again!"

"General, should we continue to chase him?"

"Chase!"

…………

"General, the Qin army has broken through Xiaye, what should we do?"

"General Long Jia, Sima left a treasure bag, now is the critical moment, why not open it and take a look."

"Okay!"
