The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Half an hour later, Gongsun Yan led his army to attack the Qin army's position before the Qin army could react.

"General! It's bad! The Wei army is counterattacking!"

At this time, Zhang Wu was a little confused. It wasn't even daybreak yet, why did the Wei army counterattack? Didn't the Wei army know that the best way to attack was to dazzle the enemy with their eyes?

Zhang Wu immediately ordered: "Prepare for battle! All troops, prepare for battle!"

Zhang Wu quickly boarded the nest car and looked at the Wei army. He saw the words Gongsun hanging on the middle army of the Wei army. Zhang Wu immediately thought of the name Gongsun Yan. That's not right! Wasn't he fighting the State of Zhao? When did he get here?

Looking at the commander of the scout camp, the commander of the scout camp said hurriedly: "General, I don't know either! Our scouts really didn't find the support of the Wei army."

"No! Then how did they get here! Did they fly over! Idiot! You scouts, get in front!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Zhang Wu was also worried. Gongsun Yan liked to fight in ways that ordinary people couldn't think of. Using soldiers like a ghost was the best evaluation of Gongsun Yan's training method.

Ying Ji looked at the formation of the Wei army's attack and couldn't figure it out. Why did the Wei army's attack formation use bows and crossbows to attack the front?

Questioningly asked: "General, look, the Wei army's attacking formation is to use archers to attack the front!"

Zhang Wu sighed: "The range of the Wei army's archers is much longer than our bows and arrows. Crossbows! It would be much better if my Qin State had crossbows!"

"Crossbowmen! Release the arrows!"

"Raise the shield!"

"Raise the shield quickly!"

Gongsun Yan stood on the nest car, looking expressionlessly at the Qin soldiers who were shot down by the Wei army's crossbows and wailing in pain, and ordered: "Fighting warriors attack! Ladders ready! Thunderbolt chariots ready!"

Seventy thunderbolt chariots aimed at the Qin army's barriers. At a command, seventy thunderbolt chariots fired at the same time, and the flying stones rained down, hitting the Qin army so hard that they couldn't even raise their heads. The Qin army's barriers were like tofu in front of the thunderbolt chariots.

"Soldiers! The Qin army's barrier has been broken, follow me to kill!"

Zhang Wu was also shocked by the Wei army's thunderbolt chariot. How could the Wei army's catapult hit so far? Little did he know that the Wei army's catapult was developed by Xiang Liqin, a Mohist master who was driven out of the Qin State. It is the law of nature that will take its course.

Zhang Wu originally thought that the Qin army could rely on the barrier to defend for a while, but he didn't expect that it would be riddled with holes so quickly after being hit by the Wei army's thunderbolt chariot.

Zhang Wu ordered: "The army retreated ten miles, Xigu led the troops to cover the rear!"

The Qin army retreated quickly, and the unlucky Xigu had to lead thousands of soldiers to block the attack of the Wei army. Xigu could only admit his bad luck and drew his sword and shouted: "Old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"

"Old Qin, let's go to the national crisis together!"

"Report to the general! The Qin army has retreated with thousands of old soldiers!"

Gongsun Yan said seriously: "Our army broke through the Qin army's barriers too easily, which will make our army arrogant. The Qin army used old soldiers to cover the rear.The last is to let the main force of the Qin army know the cruelty of our Wei army! And the Qin army will also become a pitiful army! A pitiful army will win, and an arrogant army will lose! Order the army to stop the attack, so that the thousands of old soldiers have time to retreat! "

"Stop the attack! The general ordered! Stop the attack!"

"Stop the attack!"

What's going on? Why did the Wei army stop attacking? These thousands of Qin army veterans have already made preparations to fight to the death. Why did the Wei army retreat?

Seeing that the Wei army retreated, Meng Gu was also very happy in his heart, and immediately led thousands of veterans to retreat to Zhang Wu's army.

When Zhang Wu saw that Meng Gu's army returned to the army safely without any injuries, he did not show joy. Meng Gu smiled and said: "General, I don't know why the Wei army stopped attacking. Why do I feel that the Wei army still cares about us old people! General, is the Wei army afraid? Should we take the initiative to attack? ”

Zhang Wu really wanted to stab Meng Gu to death with a sword, but he couldn't tell the situation. After all, as long as the Wei army killed those old soldiers, it would naturally inspire the Qin army to become mournful soldiers. You know, most of those old clans are the patriarchs of some small families or the elderly with some prestige in the village. Their death can further stimulate the resistance of the Qin army.

What he didn't expect was that Gongsun Yan was so patient. Ying Ji asked anxiously: "General, what should we do next?"

Zhang Wu sighed: "Gongsun Yan is really a talented general! I can't match him in using troops!"

Order: "Order the army to form an offensive and defensive formation, heavy on the two wings and light in the middle! Chariots are lined up in front!"

"Yes!"

A young general came over and complained: "General, why did we stop attacking? ”

“No reason, I just felt that it was a conspiracy of the Qin army, so I immediately sent an envoy to tell the commander of the Qin army that I would fight him head-on!” Gongsun Yan said lightly.

“Yes!”

“General, it seems to be an envoy of the Wei army!”

“I’ll go and take a look!”

“Meet the commander of the Qin army! I am an envoy of the Wei army. The commander of our army specially ordered me to issue a declaration of war and fight head-on here! I wonder if the commander of the Qin army can agree to it?”

Zhang Wu readily agreed: “Okay! I agree! I want to see whether your Wei army’s spears are more powerful! Or my Qin army’s spears are more powerful! ”

Gongsun Yan immediately divided the army into two parts, with 50,000 in the front and 10,000 in the back. The front was divided into the center, left, and right armies, and the elite soldiers were placed in the center, focusing on the center and ignoring the left and right wings. The 10,000 in the back were ambushed five miles away, and agreed to use black smoke as a signal.

Zhang Wu boarded the nest car and looked at the Wei army, which was less than two miles away from his army. He was amused by the formation of the Wei army, which was like a swollen bubble.

Zhang Wu muttered to himself: "Heavy the center and light on the wings. Isn't he afraid of being surrounded by our two wings?"

Zhang Wu couldn't care less and ordered: "All troops attack!"

Dongdong~~

Kill~~

Kill~~

"Attack!”

The Qin army attacked first. In this kind of frontal combat, the first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer.

Gongsun Yan did not order the drums to be beaten. When the Qin army was less than a mile away from the Wei army, Gongsun Yan still did not issue an order to attack. The captain on the side urged: "General! The Qin army is coming! Give the order!"

Gongsun Yan picked up the red flag and ordered: "Bowmen shoot! Thunderbolt chariots shoot!"

Arrows rained down, and stones flew like rain.

"Raise your shield! ”

The Qin army had long been frightened by the bows and thunderbolt chariots of the Wei army. The Qin army had never seen such a powerful catapult, nor had they seen a bow and crossbow with such a long range.

The archers in the rear of the Qin army were almost useless and could only stay in the rear as a reserve.

Zhang Wu could only watch the bows and crossbows of the Wei army hitting the Qin army like a target. Ying Hua said anxiously: "General! I will personally lead the troops to destroy the catapults of the Wei army!"

"General! Give me some soldiers!"

"Shut up! How can a brave man decide the battle between the two armies! If it is so easy to build, then my Qin country can just send a ten thousand enemies over!"

After scolding, Zhang Wu looked forward again. At this time, the Qin and Wei armies were less than 200 steps away. Gongsun Yan then ordered: "Beat the drums and attack! ”

Dongdong~~

The drums were beating loudly, and the long-suppressed Wei army pounced on the Qin army like a tiger and a wolf.

Kill~~

“Attack!”

The Wei and Qin armies immediately engaged in close combat, shouts of killing and wailing resounded throughout the battlefield. The commanders of both sides stared blankly at any movement on the battlefield. Any negligence or omission would lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

“Encircle the two wings! Destroy the two wings of the Wei army quickly!”

Gongsun Yan saw that the two wings of the Qin army had moved, but did not immediately issue an order but looked at the side and rear of the Qin army. Why had Zhai Zhang not arrived yet?

He ordered: “Change the formation of the two wings! Deploy a defensive formation! Archers suppress the two wings of the Qin army!”

“Shoot! ”

Zhang Wu saw that the two wings had already attacked the two wings of the Wei army, but he felt that the number of the Wei army seemed to be less, and he felt that the Wei army had hidden 10,000 people.

"Ying Ji! You take the archers to support the front army! Be sure to contain the Wei army's central army!"

"Yes!"

"General! Our two wings can't hold on any longer!"

"General, quickly call the 10,000 people in the rear to support the two wings!"

Gongsun Yan did not agree, but kept staring at the side and rear of the Qin army, and slowly said: "Wait a little longer!"

"General!"

"Enough! I said wait a little longer!"

"Order the archers to draw their swords to support the two wings!"

"But, General! Archers are used to suppress the Qin army's attack!"

"Do you think the Qin army still needs to be suppressed? Tell the archers to draw their swords and go to support the two wings! "

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu has been estimatingConsidering the number of Wei troops, how many people are hidden in the Wei army? There is absolutely no way there are only this few people! They must be hiding!

"General! We found a large number of Wei troops behind us! They are already killing us!"

"What!"

At this time, Zhang Wu had few soldiers left. While he was still thinking about which troops to mobilize, Zhai Zhang had already led 20,000 Wei troops to kill the Qin army.

The Wei army was unstoppable and broke through the formation of the Qin army's center. Zhang Wu could only order: "Personal soldiers! Stop the Wei army immediately!"

"General! The Qin army's flank and rear are under attack from our army!"

Gongsun Yan smiled and ordered: "Smoke! Order 10,000 people in the rear to support the center! Kill the Qin army's front army in one go!"

The Qin army's rear was in chaos, and the Qin army's fighting spirit was shaken. Should they go to rescue the main general or continue to fight the Wei army on the front line? If they don't go to rescue, the law of collective responsibility is no joke.

When the Qin army hesitated, 10,000 people in the rear of the Wei army also arrived. Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted, and they killed the Qin army's front army in one go.

The Qin army was defeated, and Gongsun Yan ordered: "The chariots surround the two wings of the Qin army, and the army is pressing forward! Destroy the Qin army completely!"

"General! Our army has been defeated!"

At this time, the Qin army's head and tail were already in tatters, and there was no way to withdraw extra soldiers to rescue. Zhang Wu drew his sword and said: "Follow me to kill!"

"Attack! Destroy the Qin army completely!"

The Wei army attacked from front and back, and the Qin army was like a panicked bird, flying around everywhere.

"Chariots divide the Qin army! Surround the Qin army one by one!"

Kill, kill~~

The wheels of the chariot turned rapidly, rolling over one Qin soldier after another. The halberd soldiers on the chariot used long halberds to hook the necks of Qin soldiers, almost without any effort, harvesting the heads of Qin soldiers like mowing grass.

"Run!"

"General, I will cover your retreat!"

"No! This battle is my mistake! Ying Ji! Ying Hua! You two should retreat quickly! I will cover your retreat!"

"General! Let's go together!"

"No! Go now! Go!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wu threw down the sword in his hand, picked up a long halberd on the ground, and shouted: "Brave Qin! Let's go to the national crisis together!"

The battle ended in the evening. The 60,000 Qin troops were almost wiped out, and the Wei army suffered only more than 20,000 casualties.

"General, more than a thousand Qin soldiers have escaped!"

"No need to chase them, Gongsun Xi will take care of them!"

Gongsun Yan estimated and said: "In this battle, our army suffered at most 20,000 casualties, but the 100,000 Qin soldiers were basically wiped out by our army! In addition to the casualties of General Long Jia fighting against the Qin army, our Wei army only suffered more than 30,000 casualties in total, and the 120,000 Qin troops were basically wiped out!"

"Order the army to rest temporarily!"

"Yes!"

…………

"Second brother! We are forWhat do you mean take the small road back to Liyang? Why not go directly to Xiaye?"

"Yinghua, think about it, Gongsun Yan is a master of military tactics, do you think General Gongsun Zhuang can annihilate the Wei army that burned the food and grass? I guess Gongsun Yan will definitely order the Wei army that burned our food and grass to capture Xiaye, so if the remnants of our army escape to Xiaye, they will definitely be annihilated by the Wei army, so we take the small road back to Liyang!"

"This Gongsun Yan is really too cunning!"

"This man's military tactics are like Sun Bin and Wu Qi, this man of Wei is simply a tiger with wings!"

"Go!"

"You mean you didn't find the Qin army."

"That's right, General, I did not encounter the fleeing Qin army when I captured Xiaye."

"It seems that the Qin generals who led the troops to escape should not be underestimated! "Gongsun Yan muttered to himself.

Gongsun Xi created Gongsun Yan's order. If he had not encountered the Qin army and returned immediately, Gongsun Xi would have almost killed the future Qin army general Ying Ji. Unfortunately, Ying Ji did not play according to the routine.

Gongsun Xi asked again: "General, are we going to take back Guanzhong County?"

"Wait for the king's order!"
