The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Tian Shouzheng, the chief general of the Qi army, led the army to Jucheng. When he went out, Qi Gong's letter forced him to win the battle. If he did not win the battle, he would definitely lose his position as general.

But he was not worried, because he already had an army of 200,000 in his hands, which was enough to defeat the Chu army. The deputy general on the side said:"General, our army is about to arrive in Jucheng.""Well, order the whole army to advance at full speed"——yes.

The Chu army also headed to Jucheng under the leadership of Jingshe. The deputy general beside him said:"General, according to detailed reports, Qi State has gathered an army of 200,000 and has arrived in Jucheng." After hearing this, Jingshe said:" Since the State of Qi has sent 200,000 people, our army will not play any tricks and just fight the Qi Army head-on."

The deputy general quickly advised:"General, the State of Qi also has 200,000 people. If we fight head-on, it will be dangerous.……"Jingshe interrupted:"Don't worry, I have a way to defeat the Qi army head-on. Did you know that in"Wu Qi's Art of War", the chapter on predicting the enemy says:"Know and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles." The Qi army seems huge, but unfortunately it is not solid, so Our army will definitely win this battle." After hearing this, the deputy general felt at ease.

The Qi army camp, Tian Shou camped ten miles away from Jucheng, with Jucheng behind and Shushui three miles away on the left, with a wide view. In the general's camp, Tian Shou had been looking at the map, moving his fingers around on the map, and finally said to the soldiers:"Order the generals to come to discuss matters.""——yes.

When all the generals arrived, Tian Shou asked:"Have you found the Chu army?"

The deputy general replied:"General, according to the report from the scouts, the Chu army is less than 200 miles away from Jucheng."

After hearing this, Tian Shou said :"Everyone, the Chu army has now reached Jucheng, which is not far from the Great Wall of Qi State. If Jucheng is lost, not only the land of Huaisi, but also the land thousands of miles south of the Great Wall of Qi State will be destroyed. It has become the Chu State."

After hearing this, a general immediately said:"General, the enemy army is now strong, so it is better for our army to build a defense line around Jucheng to resist the Chu army." After hearing this, Tian Shou said:" No, because your Majesty has ordered that we must take the initiative to defeat the Chu army. I wonder what plan you have to defeat the Chu army?" All the generals were silent, and one general said:"General, our army only has 200,000 troops. It is not as good as our army and the Chu army. The enemy is facing a decisive battle." Tian Shou thought for a while and said,"Let me think about it again."

The Chu army was advancing at full speed, and the deputy general came over and asked,"General, where will our army camp?" Jing She took out the map and looked at it. After a while, he said:"The whole army is camped near Jiaoyuan Mountain. Jiaoyuan Mountain is only eighty or ninety miles away from Jucheng. Our army is camping here to defeat the Qi army."——yes.

Near Jiaoyuan Mountain, the Chu army had built a camp. Jingshe said to his soldiers:"I ordered the generals to come to discuss matters.""——obey.

After Jing She saw all the generals gathered, he said:"Everyone, there are 200,000 Qi troops now. How can our army defeat the Qi army?"

A general said:"General, why don't our army ambush the opponent here and send an army?" If the army lures the enemy troops to come, we can completely annihilate the Qi army."

After hearing this, Jing She nodded slightly and said,"This strategy is feasible, but it depends on the time and place. Although this strategy is good, the terrain is not suitable for ambush warfare. , But everyone, I plan to face the Qi army head-on. What do you think?"

After the generals heard this, a general said:"General, in a head-on battle, our army has a low chance of winning!""Everyone, don't worry, I There is a way to defeat the Qi army from the front," Jing She said. Seeing that Jingshe was confident, the generals had no objection. Seeing that all the generals agreed, Jingshe ordered:"In three days, our army will fight with the Qi army in the field."——obey.

At the camp of the Qi army, Tian Shou received the letter of war. After reading it, he said:"Order the generals to come to the camp to discuss matters."

After all the generals arrived at the camp, Tian Shou handed the letter of war to the generals. After the generals read it, a general said:"General, let's fight. We have 200,000 Qi troops and 70,000 martial arts warriors. Why should we be afraid of the Chu army?" All the generals agreed.

Tian Shou saw that the fighting spirit of the generals was so high that he ordered:"Tell the whole army that in three days, our army will fight with the Chu army in the wild. I want to let the Chu army know how powerful our Qi army is!""——yes.

Three days later, Qi and Chu were fighting in the field. On the entire battlefield, 400,000 troops were waiting in full formation. Tian Shou, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, looked at the continuous military formation. From a height, it looked like a long purple ribbon below. Tian Shou ordered:"The whole army is in formation, with shield soldiers and gun soldiers in the front, martial arts warriors and archers in the middle, and halberd warriors in the rear." Under the transmission of the messenger, the 200,000-strong army arranged their formation neatly.

At the Chu army's formation, Jingshe took a look at the Qi army's formation. He was overjoyed and said to the messenger:"Order the whole army to be divided into three armies, the left, middle and right armies. Both the left armies and the right armies will be deployed with 60,000 troops. The army is composed of 80,000 troops in the middle, with Shenxi's division in the front, halberdiers and archers in the middle, and swordsmen and short swordsmen in the rear. The whole army is in formation." Under the command of the general, the Chu army was divided into left and right. Three armies from center to right. After Jingshe saw that the army was all deployed, he ordered:"The Qi army's formation looks neat but not solid, so the left and right armies of our army attack the two wings of the Qi army, and the Chinese army is responsible for resisting. When the two wings of the Qi army are defeated, the Chinese army launches attack"——yes.

Dong dong dong~~ dong, the war drums resounded across the earth, the Qi army took the lead in advancing, and the Qi army attacked the Chu army amidst the sound of the war drums. The leader of the Chu army did not change his expression when he saw this, and ordered:"Archers, prepare." The Qi army continued to advance, and cold sweat began to form on the hands of some of the new soldiers.

When the Qi army reached the shooting range, Jingshe ordered:"Fire the arrows!" In an instant, 50,000 archers fired arrows in unison, and a shower of arrows appeared in the sky. The generals of the Qi army quickly ordered:"Raise your shields." Countless The arrows hit the Qi army's formation. Some of the Qi soldiers were hit by the arrows because they were slow to raise their shields. As soon as the wave came down, the Qi army fell to pieces.

Then the Qi army's archers also began to fight back, and they saw that the Chu army also fell under the attack of arrows. There were constant wailing sounds on the battlefield, but the soldiers on both sides were not afraid, but approached step by step. When Jing She saw the Qi army approaching from the chariot, he ordered:"The left and right armies attack." After receiving the order from the general, the Chu army directly attacked the two wings of the Qi army.

After the wings of the Chu army and the Qi army handed over, the two sides began to fight. People continued to fall around them, but no one stopped holding their swords because of the incompleteness of the battlefield.

The martial arts warriors of the Qi army also exchanged blows with the Chu army's Shen Xi's division. The martial arts warriors wielded their swords and killed the Chu army. However, the Chu army's Shen Xi's division kept suppressing the Qi army in the military formation. Due to the martial arts, The soldiers were not good at formation fighting, and the Qi army on both wings had been suppressed by the Chu army. The 80,000 Chu troops in the Chinese army resisted most of the Qi army, and the Chinese army held on hard.

Jing She stood on the chariot with no expression on his face and ordered:"Order the Chinese army to hold on, and the guardsmen will come forward and hold back." Three thousand guardsmen rushed forward. Resist the Qi army's attack. Seeing that the center of the Chu army could no longer hold on, the commander of the Qi army ordered:"Order some troops from both wings to be sent to the center of the Chu army.""——yes.

The generals on both sides watched the situation on the battlefield nervously. When more Qi troops attacked the Chinese army, Jingshe ordered:"Chariot troops, step forward to cover them up!"——yes. When the Qi army's commander Tian Shou had been paying attention to the Chu army's center, suddenly, the two wings of the Qi army were defeated by the Chu army's left and right armies. The situation of the battle was already in the Chu army's favor. Seeing that the Qi army was defeated, Jing She ordered:"The whole army is pressing forward!"

After the Chu army heard the order, the Chu army exploded with unlimited strength, and the Qi army retreated steadily. Tian Shou saw that the army formation was about to be in chaos, so he only Can order:"The whole army retreats"……"The words are not finished yet. The Qi army's military formation had been broken up by the Chu army, and they were defeated across the board. The Chu army's chariots also continued to kill the Qi army. The Qi army was defeated like a mountain, and the Qi army fled across the wilderness. The Chu army, led by Jing She, pursued the Qi army.

The Qi army was defeated and Tian Shou could only retreat to Jucheng. The Qi army was defeated in this battle. The reputation of the Chu army and Jingshe spread throughout the world after this battle. When the

Duke of Qi received the news of the defeat of the 200,000-strong army, he felt only despair and asked the prime minister:"Prime Minister, our army of 200,000 has been defeated. What should we do now?" Prime Minister Tian Li said:"Your Majesty, our army has been defeated. , the general should be changed, I recommend Tian Ji, this person will definitely defeat the Chu army."

After hearing this, Duke Qi said:"Prime Minister, why change the general?""Your Majesty, our army has been defeated. If we want to regain the land, we can only change the general. Your Majesty, Tian Ji is a man who is good at using troops, uses troops cautiously, and has an overall view of the situation. He will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army." Tian Li said.

Seeing that the prime minister was so determined, Qi Gong could only agree. Thought: It would be better if we didn’t fight this battle in the first place. But there is no regret medicine in the world. Duke Qi ordered:"Make Tian Ji a general to succeed Tian Shou, and order him to defeat the Chu army!"——Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
