The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

So Gongzi Yan handed the strategy written on the silk to everyone, and everyone said:"General Pang Juan is indeed the number one general in the Wei Kingdom. No one can defeat this plan."

Gongzi Yan followed what Pang Juan wrote. The plan said:"In the past few days, Deputy General Yuan Ning, you have led the soldiers to secretly leave the camp at night and return to the camp during the day, creating the illusion that our army has reinforcements coming in a steady stream. You have also made tens of thousands of scarecrows in the past few days and put on military uniforms to confuse the Korean army. The Korean generals knew that our army had tens of thousands more troops, so they would not dare to go to support other places. They could only defend according to our army's ideas. General Zhou Ming led 5,000 troops to attack Maling City, and General Xiu Yu led 5,000 troops to attack Xincheng. , because the Korean army is afraid that our army will pursue them on the way to recapture Maling or Xincheng, which will make it impossible for the Korean army to take care of both. In addition, Xincheng is only a hundred miles away from Xinzheng, and Malingcheng is only a few kilometers away from Xinzheng. Dozens of miles away, if the Korean army wants to protect Xinzheng, it will naturally have no choice but to abandon Guancheng. Our army can lay an ambush of 10,000 troops on the road between Guancheng and Xinzheng to completely annihilate the Korean army. I will lead an army of 20,000 from the other side. Attack from the rear. General Zhou led his troops from Tongguan of Wei State to attack Maling, and General Xue set off from Mengjin to attack Xincheng. Our army must capture Guancheng in this battle."

(Maling in South Korea is not Maling in Qi, Maling (Ma Ling in the battle refers to the Maling Road in Qi State)

A few days later, Han Shan, the Korean general, received a report from the scouts. The Wei State increased its troops by 40,000, and sent troops to guard the outside of the city.

At this time, the Korean general Han Shan said to the generals:"No one is allowed to go out of the city to fight. Anyone who goes out of the city to fight without permission will be killed." Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly entered the camp.

The report said:"General, it's not good! The Wei army has captured Xincheng and Maling City. Xinzheng, South Korea, has been surrounded by the Wei army on both sides." When Han Shan heard this, he turned pale and said,"It's not good." A general said:" General, it is better than the last general to lead 20,000 troops to recapture Xincheng and Maling."

Han Shan said:"No, if our army divides its troops to recapture Xincheng and Maling, the enemy's levy has reached 80,000, which is equivalent to the number of our army. , if our army divides its forces, the enemy will inevitably attack our army heading to Xincheng and Maling, which will cause our army's effective strength to be wiped out bit by bit by the enemy. Therefore, our army can only hold on to Guancheng.

" At that time, the messenger also came to report:"Five thousand troops have occupied Wusui and Xingcheng, and have now joined our army." After hearing this, Prince Ang said:"Okay, follow the plan." Han Hou, the Korean court hall, was at After receiving the battle report, he was shocked and said to Prime Minister Han Ye:"Prime Minister, look, Wei has already occupied Xincheng and Maling with an additional 80,000 troops." After reading the battle report, Han Ye said to Han Ye Hou said:"Your Majesty, I think Han Shan's army will continue to guard the city, so it's best not to move."

After hearing Han Ye's words, Han Hou said angrily:"The Wei army has surrounded Xinzheng on both sides. According to the words of the prime minister, we, Han Hou, Xinzheng is about to be captured by the Wei State. Someone ordered Han Shan's army to return to Xinzheng to aid Xinzheng." Han Shan, the commander of the Guancheng camp

, took the imperial order just sent to him, sighed, and said:"Twenty thousand people are left behind to defend Guancheng. City, the remaining 60,000 troops will follow me back to defend Xinzheng."

A general said to Han Shan, the general doesn't know the situation on our side. Besides, the general will not accept the order of the outside king, so why not……"

Han Shan waved his hand to signal the general to stop talking, and then said:"Unfortunately, I have to obey your orders!"

Han Shan said again:"Vice-General Mu Wen, you lead 20,000 soldiers to defend Guangcheng. No matter what happens, don't go out of the city to fight." Deputy General Mu Wen handed over his hands and said,"Follow your orders, general." Afterwards, Han Shan withdrew from Xinzheng with an army of 60,000. On the other side, the Wei general Gongzi Yan was overjoyed when he heard the news of the Korean army's withdrawal, and said:"Our army will definitely win this battle, and the whole army will pursue them."

(Gongzi Yan is Gongzi Ang, who is the younger brother of King Hui of Wei, He was upright and talented. He defeated Shang Yang many times in the Battle of Hexi. In the end, Shang Yang pretended that he wanted to reconnect with his son Ang, and he was imprisoned by Shang Yang. Finally, because the general was imprisoned, Shang Yang defeated the Wei army in the Battle of Hexi. )

At this time, Han Shan continued to advance with the army. Since the army was not defeated, but was asked by the Marquis of Han to return to Xinzheng, the morale of the entire army was low. Han Shan also felt sad, but he did not know that the place ahead would be their death.

At this time, the Wei general in charge of the ambush saw that the Korean army had entered the ambush circle and said loudly:"Fire rockets." In an instant, the Wei army on both sides of the grass stood up and fired rockets at the Korean army. Since the Wei army had already scattered rockets on the road, Liquor and kerosene were served.

Therefore, the fire spread quickly, and the Wei army had already dug a fire separation zone, so they were not injured by the fire. At this time, the Han army was burned by the fire and howled endlessly. The Wei army on both sides also kept firing arrows at Hanshan. Seeing that the soldiers were shot and killed by the Wei army one by one, and a large part of the soldiers were burned alive by the fire, I felt very desperate..

A soldier came over and said:"The Wei army is attacking from behind the general." Han Shan knelt on the ground and laughed:"The defeat in this battle is not my fault. It is your fault, Your Majesty. It was you who let me The Korean army is going to die! Haha~" The 20,000 Wei troops behind the Korean army, led by Gongzi Ang, attacked the Korean army. At this time, the Korean army was defeated and the soldiers had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

A few hours later, only tens of thousands of charred corpses were left on the charred ground, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat and roasted meat.

Young Master Ang asked:"How many Korean troops were killed in this battle?" The soldier next to him said:"General, our army killed more than 40,000 Korean troops in this battle and captured more than 10,000 people." Young Master An said:"These Don't keep the prisoners and kill them all." Follow the order."

Guancheng

Gongzi Yan led 30,000 troops to guard the city. Gongzi Yan sent someone to tell Guancheng guard Mu Wen the news of the defeat of the Korean army.

On the city, Han general Mu Wen looked at the Wei army below and didn't know what was going on in his heart. I feel that at this time, several Wei cavalry ran to the city. One of the Wei cavalry was carrying a human head on a bamboo pole.

One of the Wei soldiers said loudly:"The Koreans in charge of the city, your army has been completely destroyed by our army." Annihilation, the leader of the Korean army, Han Shan, has been killed by our army. The head on this bamboo pole belongs to your leader, Han Shan. Our general said that those who surrender will not be killed."

Mu Wen took a closer look and it turned out to be the head of the general. The soldiers in the city heard that the army was defeated and the general was killed, their morale was extremely low. They all looked at the general Mu Wen, hoping to find some safety from the general.

Although Mu Wen's face was There was no disturbance, but I was very anxious, but I had no choice but to hold on.

In the evening, in the Wei army's camp, Young Master Yan said to the generals:"Everyone, early tomorrow morning, our army will divide a thousand troops to dig out the river and flood it. Guancheng, the guard general of Guancheng saw that our army was about to flood Guancheng and was worried that Guancheng would want to go out to fight. However, the morale of the Korean army was low, and the Korean army could only hold on. At this time, the Korean general would be trapped in a situation where he could neither move out nor defend. , can only surrender.

After hearing this, everyone exclaimed:"General's brilliant plan.""

In the morning, the city guard was inspecting the city defenses as usual. Suddenly he stopped and looked at the Wei army who was digging a river embankment. His anger surged in his heart. He understood that this was a conspiracy.

If he went out to fight the Han army, he would be defeated, and the defender would also be defeated. The Wei army only gave him one way, which was to surrender. His fists hit the city wall hard. After a while, Gongzi Yan saw the gate of Guancheng wide open. Han general Muwen personally led his troops out of the city, threw down his weapons, and the Korean army surrendered.. Gongzi Yan smiled, because he won, and the army will surround Xinzheng next. Han Hou looked at the battle report in his hand

: Han Shan's army was wiped out, and Guancheng surrendered. The Wei army approached Xinzheng.

Han Hou was sad He said:"Prime Minister, if I had known this, I should have listened to you. If Han Shan's army was not coordinated, there would not have been such a defeat. What should our country do now?"

Prime Minister Han Ye on the side said:"Your Majesty, now our army is holding fast to Xinzheng, staying behind closed doors, waiting for the Zhao army to defeat the Wei army from Zhao's side, and waiting for the Zhao army to rescue our country." After hearing this, Marquis Han said:"According to the Prime Minister's words, the defense of Xinzheng depends on the Prime Minister.""
