The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

The leader of the Chu army camped, Jing She said to the generals:"Everyone, the Qi army has arrived in Yinan. The king ordered us to occupy all the territory south of the Great Wall of Qi. Therefore, our army must capture Yinan. The only way to win is Only in Yinan will the Qi State surrender to me, the Chu State!"

A general said:"General, please rest assured, our army's morale is very high, the Qi army is simply a strong external force but a weak internal force." All the generals said so.

Jing She waved his hands and said:"Everyone, please don't underestimate the Qi army. Although our army has been defeated by the Qi army in a row, the Qi army has not completely lost its combat power. It is better to be cautious."

Vice-General Jing Xiu said:"General, When will our army set off?"

Jing She stood up and walked out of the camp, with the generals following behind him. Jing She looked up at the sky, then at the water leak beside him, and said,"The whole army will set off in half an hour!"——yes.

On the Yinan City, Tian Ji asked Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, it's been more than a month now, why haven't the Chu troops arrived yet?"

Sun Bin smiled and said,"Brother Tian Ji, as a general, you must be calm and calm. It will allow you to think better. The Chu army has only been anxious for more than a month. He is not a good general."

Tian Ji quickly explained after hearing this:"I am just worried that the Chu army will not fall into our trap!" Sun Bin He didn't say anything, just continued to look at the plants and trees outside the city.

Suddenly, he saw smoke and dust billowing not far away, and Sun Bin said to Tian Ji:"Brother Tian Ji, the fish is hooked, go and prepare for the city defense!"

Tian Ji looked excited, because the Chu army was coming, which meant that the Chu army had been trapped.. Tian Ji ordered his lieutenant:"Order the entire army to prepare for defense!"——yes.

The Chu army camped seven miles away from Yinan. In the general's tent, Jing She looked at the generals and said,"Everyone, our army has arrived at Yinan City. I wonder how you plan to attack Yinan?"

Qu Yong, the general, said:" General, it is better to dig tunnels." After hearing this, Jing She said:"Dig tunneling is a good siege strategy, but since our army has already used it when attacking Tancheng, the Qi army must be on guard, so this strategy cannot be used."

After hearing this, all the generals were thinking. Jinghong said,"General, I have a plan to attack the city." When Jingshe heard this, Jinghong, a brave general in the army, actually thought of a plan, and asked,"What plan did you think of?

" Hong replied:"General, we can attack the city like this. First use trebuchets to attack Yinan and shoot for three days. During these three days, our army will not attack the city, but will continue to use trebuchets. At night, we will send some soldiers through. Beat the drums to tire out the enemy, so that the enemy's morale and spirit will be greatly weakened. Three days later, our army will attack the city again. If so, we will definitely be able to break through the city!" After hearing this, Jingshe said happily. :"Jinghong, that's good. You also know how to use tactics. Your siege strategy is good. You should also know how to use tactics in future battles!" The generals were shocked after hearing Jinghong's words. Jingshe ordered:"Just act according to General Jinghong's words!"——yes.

On Yinan City, Sun Bin and Tian Ji were observing the movements of the Chu army. Tian Ji asked,"Mr. Sun Bin, how do you think the Chu army will attack the city?"

Sun Bin thought for a while, then looked at the Chu army's camp and found that they were assembling stones to throw stones. He took the machine and said to Tian Ji:"The Chu army probably plans to use trebuchets. I think they plan to use trebuchets to attack for a few days and then attack the city again after a few days!" After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin, what should we do? ? If the opponent keeps using trebuchets to attack in the past few days, we will greatly reduce the morale of our army. What should we do?"

Sun Bin smiled and said:"But this is what I want. The Chu army must use trebuchets. This will greatly reduce our army's soldiers, so that after five days our army will pretend to be defeated, it will be easier for the Chu army to believe that our army's morale has been greatly reduced."

After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin, you mean that the Chu army used this tactic to attack the city. It can make it easier for the Chu army to believe that our army has no fighting power.""Exactly, tell all the generals to act as planned! Sun Bin said.

Three days later, the Chu army did not attack the city. Instead, they kept using trebuchets to throw huge rocks into the city. Jingshe looked at Yinan City and ordered:"The whole army attacks the city!""The Chu army began to push dozens of ladders and gradually approached Yinan City. On the city wall, Tian Ji saw the Chu army starting to push the ladders and ordered:"All the soldiers in the army are ready."

When the Chu army reached the range of the archers, Tian Ji gave an order to release arrows, and the arrows he looked up shot at the Chu army. When the sky was filled with arrows and shot at the Chu army, the Chu army general quickly ordered:"Raise your shield!"The Chu troops raised their shields one after another to resist the arrows fired at them. Because the Chu troops blocked them with their shields, not many Chu troops fell.

After Tian Ji saw this scene, he ordered again:"The ballistas guarding the city. Shoot the arrow!"Dozens of city-defending ballistas fired arrows in unison. These arrows were two meters long and had strong penetration, directly piercing the shields. The Chu army fell instantly under the attack of the city-defending ballistas..

Jing She saw it from behind and chuckled:"It's just a ballista to defend the city, order the soldiers in front to use the wooden curtain car as a cover to move forward!""I saw dozens of wooden chariots in front of the Chu army, protecting the Chu army behind them. Under the protection of the wooden chariots, the Chu army gradually approached the city wall. The arrows fired by the Qi army's defensive ballistas were completely unable to Pierce the shield of the wooden chariot.

When Tian Ji saw it, he ordered:"Quick, use the trebuchet to knock down those wooden chariots!""More than a dozen trebuchets each fired dozens of stones at the wooden carts. Some wooden carts fell apart after being hit by the stones.

Jingshe found out that the opponent was using a trebuchet, so he ordered:"Give the well lan I push up!"Three wells were at a certain distance from the city wall. The Chu army on the wells used bows and arrows to shoot at the Qi army who was manipulating the trebuchet on the city wall. In an instant, the Qi army's trebuchet attack had no effect. The Chu army finally leaned the ladder against the city wall. Above. Under the order of the general of the Chu army, the Chu army bravely climbed onto the city wall.

Since the Chu army had won the previous battles, the morale of the soldiers was very high and they all wanted to be the first to climb the city wall. Only a few Chu soldiers were seen After the soldiers boarded the city, the Qi soldiers next to them were frightened. A captain ordered:"Hurry up and push the enemy soldiers down the city! Only then did those

Qi soldiers react, take out the swords in their waists and start fighting with the Chu army. Tian Ji saw dozens of ladders leaning against the city wall and ordered:"Hurry up and overturn the ladders with a cart!""

The soldiers of the Qi army, led by the generals, used carts to push down the ladders one by one! When the Chu army saw it, they quickly shot them with bows and arrows! The war lasted for several hours. When Jingshe saw that they could not be captured, he ordered :"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"Clang, clang, clang~~ After hearing the order to withdraw their troops, the Chu army retreated one after another.

Tian Ji held the Qi army's flag in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He looked at the retreating Chu army and said:"Brothers, we are holding on!"The morale of the Qi soldiers on the city wall suddenly became higher!

In the evening, Tian Ji and Sun Bin were having dinner. Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin, when do you think we will retreat again?

Sun Bin took a bite of the meat and said,"We will retreat tomorrow." Tian Ji was a little confused when he heard this, and asked again:"Why did Mr. Sun Bin retreat so quickly?" Sun Bin explained:"

Because I found that the Chu army's siege morale was very high today and was blocked by our army today, so I concluded that the Chu army's siege will be more intense tomorrow. In order to ensure its strength, I think we should pack up our things tonight." , retreat tomorrow morning. When retreating, you must throw away some armor and flags, and do not burn the food in the city. Do not seal all the warehouses, just let them be opened. Jingshe will definitely check the granaries and warehouses. If he finds the food in the granaries If the warehouse was not burned and the warehouse was not sealed, they would think that our army was defeated and fled, because the fleeing army would not take care of the warehouse and food, so the Chu army would think that our army was defeated and fled! After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"

I understand, Mr. Sun Bin, will the battle situation change the day after tomorrow?" Sun Bin smiled and said:"Don't worry, brother Tian Ji, since the Chu army has come to attack Yinan, it means they have fallen into the trap. Tell the soldiers to pack their things tonight!""

In the morning, the leader of the Chu army was in the camp. Jing She was rehearsing the attack on the city. Deputy General Jing Xiu entered the camp. When Jing She saw it was Jing Xiu, he asked,"What's wrong? Jing Xiu said:"General, Qi Junzhe has retreated!""What, the Qi army retreated again!" Jing She said with a look of disbelief. Jing Xiu said quickly:"General, it is true. The Qi army did retreat."" Jing She felt a little confused. Why did the Qi army retreat? Was it because the army had no fighting spirit? Or was there another plan? Jing She thought for a while and said,"Jing Xiu, take five thousand people into the city and check it carefully. There's something strange in the city!"——obey.

Half an hour later, Jing Xiu entered the camp. Jing She quickly asked:"Is there anything strange in the city?" Jing Xiu replied:"General, there is nothing strange in the city!" After hearing this, Jing She felt a little strange in his heart for the first time. Confused and a little scared, Jing She felt like this was a trap. He asked again:"Has the food in the granary in the city been burned, and has the warehouse been sealed?"

Jing Xiu replied"The food in the general's granary had not been burned. The warehouse was in a mess and the doors were open. When I first led the troops to see it, there were still some common people's things in the warehouse!"

After hearing this, Jing She thought: Could it be that the Qi army was really defeated and fled? This battle is a bit too simple! Jing She said:"Take me to see the warehouse!"——yes.

When he arrived at the warehouse, Jingshe walked into the warehouse and saw that the warehouse was in a mess. Armor, flags and weapons were scattered everywhere. He opened a few boxes and found that the arrows in the boxes had not been taken away. He walked into the inner warehouse again. I saw that all the money in the inner treasury had been scattered everywhere. Walking into the study again, the bamboo slips in the study were also placed in disorder.

After Jing She read it, he thought to himself: It seems that the Qi army was really defeated. These bamboo slips were placed in such disorder, and the arrows were not taken away. It is easy to take away the branch, but the Qi army did not take it away, which shows that they were defeated and fled!

Jing She asked the deputy general Jing Xiu on the side:"In which direction are the Qi troops escaping?" Jing Xiu replied:"General Qi troops are escaping in the direction of Mengshan!" After hearing this, Jing She nodded and said,"Hurry up and get the map.!"——yes.

Qi Jun, Tian Ji asked Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, will the Chu army really be fooled?" Sun Bin said with a smile:"Brother Tian Ji, don't worry, the Chu army will definitely be fooled!"
