The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

In Yinan City, Chu Army General Jing She was looking at the map in a certain room. He had been looking at the map of the pool for an hour since he entered Yinan City. I was struggling in my heart, why did the Qi army retreat? Was the Qi army really retreating? Does Qi Jun really have no fighting spirit?

Jing She had been thinking hard. Deputy General Jing Xiu came in. Seeing Jing She's face full of depression, he said,"General, now that the Qi army has been defeated, why is the general so depressed?"

Jing She looked up and saw Jing Xiu and sighed. He said in a tone:"The Qi army was defeated and fled. I was a little worried that it was a trick, but I couldn't figure out where it was."

Jing Xiu stepped forward, pointed at the map and said:"General, look, the Qi army is retreating towards Mengshan. I It is estimated that the Qi army wants to pass through Mengshan to Yangguan, and wants to use the danger of Yangguan to prevent our army from continuing to seize the territory south of the Great Wall of Qi!"

After hearing this, Jingshe said:"I think so too, but I always feel……"Jing Xiu interrupted:"General, didn't you tell us to be decisive for the general?"

After Jing She heard this, he thought about it and felt as if the clouds were parting and the sky was clear, and said:"Jing Xiu, you are right, for General, be decisive!" Then he ordered:"The whole army is chasing the Qi army! The main force of the Qi army must be annihilated!"——Yes!

Near Mengshan Mountain, Tian Ji asked Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, do you think Jingshe will be fooled?" Sun Bin replied:"He will be fooled, and I estimate that he will cross Mengshan Mountain in the evening!" Tian Ji said in confusion:"Mr. Sun Bin, didn't you say that Jingshe would wait a day before coming back? Why did you come tonight?"

Sun Bin explained:"Yesterday, I carefully checked the battle report of Jingshe's battle and found that although he was cautious in using his troops, he also Knowing how to play cards out of the box, I guess Jing She also wanted to take the opportunity to attack Yangguan." After hearing this, Tian Ji understood and said,"Mr. Sun Bin, you really know things like a god!"

Sun Bin looked at Tian Ji and said:" Brother Tian Ji, as long as you observe and think carefully, you will be able to predict things as well as me." Tian Ji seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly:"Mr. Sun Bin, if Jingshe arrives in Mengshan and sends scouts to check, our army should How?"

Sun Bin said with a smile:"Brother Tian Ji, don't worry, I have been prepared. I have ordered people to dig holes long ago, and the Chu army scouts will not be able to find our ambush." ​​Tian Ji was relieved after hearing this. Tian Ji thought for a while and then asked:"Mr. Sun Bin, what if the Chu army defends in Yinan?"

Sun Bin said:"The Chu army will not defend in Yinan. Yinan is as flat as a river. What if the Chu army defends in Yinan?" , our army does not need to attack Yinan, but directly takes a detour to capture Xiapi. At this time, the Chu army's retreat is blocked, like an isolated island. Sooner or later, it will surrender, and the Chu army retreats to Jucheng. The Chu army can defend along the Yishui River, with Yi The water and sky are dangerous, and there is Jiaoyuan Mountain in the rear as protection. The Chu army does not have to worry about being cut off, so the Chu army will only retreat to Jucheng!" After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin is really a god with his troops!"

In the evening, the Chu army was at Jingshe. The leader was rushing to Yangguan. Jingshe stood on the chariot with an expressionless face, because he wanted to take advantage of the Qi army's unprepared Yangguan defense to attack Yangguan by surprise.

The general on the side said:"General, not far ahead is Mengshan Mountain. The road there is easy for ambushes. Should our army send scouts to check it out." Jing She thought for a while and said,"Okay, send scouts to check it out."More than a dozen Chu army scouts went to check.

Jing She waited for nearly half an hour, and the scout general came to report:"General, there is nothing abnormal ahead!" After hearing this, Jing She ordered:"The whole army advances!" In this way, the Chu army entered the ambush circle, and the Qi army general Tian Seeing that the Chu army had entered the ambush circle, Tian You stood up and ordered:"Set the kerosene and burn the Chu army!"

In an instant, dozens of barrels of kerosene fell. When the Chu army reacted, the Qi army on both sides fired rockets. , and the whole place suddenly burst into flames!

The Chu army was burned by the fire and kept wailing. When Jingshe saw it, he quickly recalled the order:"The whole army retreats, get out of here quickly!" Many Qi troops on both sides fired arrows one after another, causing large casualties among the Chu army.

On the other side, Sun Bin saw that the valley was on fire and said to Tian Ji:"Brother Tian Ji, quickly lead the troops to attack the Chu army!" Tian Ji looked excited after hearing this, because this was the first time that the Qi army defeated the Chu army in this war. Tian Ji led the Qi army to attack the Chu army.

The Chu army formed a defensive formation under the leadership of Jing She and retreated from the valley little by little. The soldiers beside Jing She said:"General, it's bad, the main force of the Qi army is coming!"

Tian Ji took the lead and rushed towards the Chu army. In just a few breaths, five Chu soldiers were killed. The Qi army saw that their general was taking the lead, and their morale was greatly boosted. They swept away the fear of the Chu army after the defeat in front, and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

The Chu army was beaten back steadily. Jingshe saw this situation and ordered:"Chariot troops, hurry up and stop the Qi army's attack!" The Chu army's chariots rushed towards the Qi army. Due to the terrain, the Chu army's tanks It did not block the Qi army, but it also provided time for the army to break out.

Seeing that the Chu army had retreated, Tian Ji ordered:"Sirs, if you kill five enemy soldiers, you will be rewarded with one gold, and if you kill 20 enemy soldiers, you will be rewarded with five gold coins!" There must be brave men under such heavy rewards, and the Qi army became red-eyed. The Chu army was defeated again and again, and it was completely unstoppable.

A general of the Chu army saw this and said:"Senxi soldiers, follow me to stop the Qi army!" Finally, with the resistance of the Chu army's elite soldiers - Shenxi soldiers, the Qi army stopped. On the battlefield, there were shouts of killing and wailing.

Two hours later, the Chu army fled here under the command of Jing She! The ground has been burned black by the fire, and there are burnt corpses everywhere on the ground!

A general said to Tian Ji:"General, do our troops want to pursue the enemy?" Tian Ji waved his hand and said:"No, let's act as planned!"——Yes!

After the Chu army was defeated, Jing She was very confused, why should he pursue the Chu army? The deputy general Jing Xiu on the side looked at Jing She with hatred on his face.

He quickly persuaded:"General, although our army is defeated, we still have nearly 80,000 troops. Our army can retreat to Yinan for defense!"

Jingshe shook his head and said,"We cannot defend Yinan. There are no dangerous points in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Yinan. It is a flat river. Our army's defense of Yinan is a dead end. If the Qi army takes a detour and captures Jucheng, our army's retreat will be cut off. Sooner or later, we will be besieged to death by the Qi army."

Jing Xiu listened. Then he asked:"General, where will our army defend?" Jing She said:"Only to defend Jucheng, our army can defend Jucheng along the Yishui River. In this way, the land of Huaisi will belong to our Chu State. This way we can preserve the victory and order the entire army to retreat to Jucheng as soon as possible!"——Yes!

At the same time, there were less than 5,000 Chu troops left in Jucheng. Since the Chu troops had always been victorious in previous battles with the Qi army, they were unprepared. The soldiers of the Chu army were all eating, drinking and having fun, but no one was guarding such an important place as the city gate. I saw a group of Qi soldiers sneaking into the city.

After going up through the flying hook, the soldiers of the Qi army were dumbfounded. There was no Chu army patrolling the city. When the Qi army walked to the city gate, they were completely shocked. There was no one guarding the city gate. After the Qi army opened the city gate, The Qi army outside the city entered the city under the leadership of the general.

At this time, the Chu army was asleep. When the Qi army rushed into the military camp, the Chu army reacted, but it was too late. Qi used the sword in his hand to crazily slaughter these unarmored Chu soldiers. Some Chu soldiers The soldier was already dead while he was sleeping! Suddenly, there were constant shouts of killing in the military camp. Because the Chu army was unprepared, they were beaten back by the Qi army. The Qi army stepped forward bravely and had high morale. At this time, the Chu army was frightened by the Qi army and surrendered one after another.

After some Chu troops woke up, they wanted to use their swords to resist, but when they saw that their generals had been killed by Qi troops, they dropped their weapons and surrendered! Since then, Jucheng has been recaptured by the Qi army.

In the morning, the Chu army also crossed the Yishui River and immediately went to Jucheng. As a result, when they arrived at Jucheng, the Chu army was all dumbfounded. The flag planted in Jucheng was not that of Chu, but that of Qi.

A Qi general on the city said to the Chu army below: General Jingshe, you are a step too late!"Jing She saw this scene and murmured,"One step too late, one step too late!"

In my heart, I already had a high opinion of the Qi army's general, and felt that I was not as good as the Qi army's general Tian Ji. The deputy general Jing Xiu on the side said:"The general is not as good as our army, hurry up and attack the city!"

Jingshe shook his head and said:"No, if our army attacks Jucheng, it will take dozens of days even if we attack it. If the main force of Qi State comes to attack us, our army will be attacked from two sides. All were annihilated here by the Qi army!

Jing Xiu asked hurriedly:"General, what should our Chu army do?" Jing She said helplessly:"Order the entire army to retreat to Tancheng!""——Yes!

On Yinan City, the flag of the Chu army was thrown down the city, and the flag of Qi was planted on Yinan City again. Tian Ji said with admiration:"Mr. Sun Bin, you are really good at predicting things!"

Sun Bin just smiled and said:"Brother Tian Ji, fighting requires not only being proficient in battle formations, but also knowing how to use strategies and being proficient in battle formations. Tao can help you have a greater overall view, and being proficient in strategy can make you invincible!"

Tian Ji said:"Listening to the teacher's words is like studying for ten years!" Sun Bin looked at the sky and said:"The victory of this war It's not far away."

At this time, the Chu army had to retreat to Tancheng because Jucheng was occupied. Jingshe now felt a little desperate in his heart.

At the beginning of the war, he repeatedly defeated the Qi army. Unexpectedly, he was defeated at the hands of an unknown Qi army general, Tian Ji. Now we can only hope to preserve the remaining victory by retreating to Tancheng!
