The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Ji Bai, the defender of Sangqiu City, had already received the news of Gaoyang's fall. In the county government, Ji Bai looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, the enemy is strong and we are weak now. How should our army defend Sangqiu City?"

The chief general of the scout camp bowed and said, "General, since the enemy is strong and our army is weak, we must avoid their sharp edge. So I think we should fortify the city and clear the fields, fill all the wells within a hundred miles and concentrate all the food in the villages in the city to prevent the enemy from obtaining combat resources, and immediately ask Wuyang for help. Ask for reinforcements, ask Sir Sima to send reinforcements to support us! And the scouts reported that the Qi army only has 30,000 people this time, and the defenders of our so-called four cities are as high as more than 50,000, so I want to wait until the enemy attacks the city, and then attack the Qi army from both sides together with the Wuyang defenders, and we will definitely defeat the Qi army! " Ji Bai nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say, order all the officers and soldiers in the city to prepare for defense, and immediately move the crossbow carts and catapults to the city wall!"

"-Yes!

Wuyang City

In the county government, Qin Liang frowned and kept looking at the map on the table. The deputy general Ji Yun beside him asked carefully: "Sima sir, what are you thinking about? According to the scouts, the Qi army has broken through Gaoyang City and rushed straight to Sangqiu City!"

Qin Liang sighed and said: "The Gaoyang garrison has 7,000 people. According to the military strategy, it takes ten times the attack to attack a city. I didn't expect that Gaoyang was captured by the Qi army in less than half a day. It seems that the combat effectiveness of our Yan army has been extremely low!"

After hearing this, the deputy general Ji Yun persuaded: "General, it's just that the Qi army didn't encounter our Yan elites, but just encountered some ordinary county soldiers. When our army fights with the Qi army, we will be able to defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop!"

Qin Liang shook his head and said: "No, if our Yan army fights the Qi army head-on, there will only be defeat and no victory! Because our Yan country has not fought for a long time The war has already begun, and the military preparations have long been relaxed. The elite troops defending the capital have long become a decoration for ceremonial purposes! Tell the whole army to hold their ground and not go out, just defend it! "As soon as the voice fell, a messenger ran in and said: "Sima Lord, there is a letter from Sangqiu City!"

Qin Liang raised his head and said to the messenger: "Hurry up and bring it here!" Qin Yang took it and looked at it, then slapped the bamboo slips on the table and said happily: "God helps me. The Western Army of Qi has only 30,000 people to attack Sangqiu. In this way, we can wait until the Qi army is exhausted from attacking Sangqiu before supporting Sangqiu, and attacking Sangqiu from both sides with the defenders of Sangqiu, and we will surely defeat the Qi army!"

The deputy general also bowed and said: "Sima Lord, now the Western Army of Qi will be annihilated by our army! In this way, we can finally deal with the Qi army in the north with all our heart and soul!" Qin Liang stood up and ordered: "Order the whole army to prepare for battle!"

"-Yes!

After several days of hard work, the Qi army camp near Sangqiu City finally arrived at the foot of Sangqiu City. In the main general's tent, Lu Jing looked at the map and chuckled, saying to the deputy general: "Order the whole army to rest for a while and then attack the city immediately!" Deputy general Tian Ji said puzzledly: "General,Didn't the general tell us to wait and see if we can attack Sangqiu City? Why do we have to attack Sangqiu City right away? "

Lü Jing smiled and said, "Boy, you have a lot to learn in the future! When marching and fighting, you can't just follow orders from above. You have to change according to the situation. You have to remember that the battlefield is unpredictable and there is no fixed mode of fighting. Soldiers pay attention to the real and the fake, the real and the fake! Only in this way can we better defeat the enemy! Don't have a stubborn mind!"

Tian Ji nodded and said, "That's what the general said. What does the general want to do?"

Lü Jing explained, "The general's strategy is good, but you also have to think about the enemy's mind. Sangqiu is Wuyang's second line of defense. The line of defense after Sangqiu is basically useless. Since our army has arrived at Sangqiu, if we just surround it without attacking, the enemy will definitely think that our army wants to lure the enemy out, which will make the enemy refuse to come out. If our army attacks the city fiercely, the enemy will definitely think it is profitable, because our army has been exhausted after a long expedition and has been attacking the city for many days. The enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack our army from both sides. This is why I want to attack the city! The reason why I succeeded is to lure out the main force of the Yan army, so that the general's strategy can be better implemented! "Tian Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Lv Jing smiled and said: "Boy, don't be stubborn when marching and fighting, but be tough with softness. Don't be a copper stick, be a bamboo! Fighting is not just copying military books. You must think about the enemy's psychology from the perspective of others, so that you can better predict the enemy's strategy! "

Tian Ji hurriedly bowed and said: "After listening to the general's words, I suddenly realized it! I understand! "Lv Jing smiled after hearing this. Lv Jing was very optimistic about Tian Ji. He was able to become a general at a young age, and he was calm and composed in battle, unlike other young generals who only pursued bravery. Moreover, other young men would go to restaurants on weekdays, but he would always read books in the barracks. This was the most important reason why Lv Jing was optimistic about Tian Ji.

Lv Jing ordered: "Tian Ji, I will order you to lead the army to attack the city immediately. Remember to hold back when attacking the city, and don't let the Yan army know the real combat power of our Qi army!"

"-Yes!

Ji Bai, the garrison commander of Sangqiu, had been watching the movements of the Qi army camp. The Qi army had been there for several hours, but still did not see the Qi army's intention to attack the city.

The deputy general on the side said: "General, in the march and in the siege, it is not about rapid attack, but about attacking immediately when the enemy is not ready. But when the Qi army came, they only built a military camp, and it seems that the military camp is too strong. It feels like the Qi army is not here to attack the city, but just to delay us! General, could it be that the Qi army just wants to surround the city without attacking? "

Ji Bai lowered his head and thought, "It's possible. After all, the Qi army doesn't have many troops. If you want to capture this city, you need a lot of troops. I think it should be."

Just when the two of them wereThinking that the Qi army was just besieging but not attacking, suddenly a horn sounded in the Qi army camp, and thousands of Qi soldiers walked out of the camp in neat steps and began to head towards Sangqiu City. Hundreds of Qi soldiers were pushing tall ladders and catapults and gradually approaching Sangqiu City.

Ji Bai saw it and shouted: "Order the soldiers to prepare for battle quickly, the Qi army is going to attack the city!" Wuwuwu~ The Qi army formed three square formations and stopped 500 steps away from Sangqiu City. Tian Ji stood on the chariot, staring at Sangqiu City, as if he wanted to swallow the city into his mouth immediately.

The Yan army on the city wall was also desperately adjusting the distance of the guards and pulling the bowstrings. The catapults on the city wall also adjusted the angle, put the stone bullets and poured kerosene on them. The deputy general on the side ran over and said to Ji Bai: "General, the soldiers are ready!"

Ji Bai just nodded after hearing this, his eyes were fixed on the command chariot behind the Qi army, and he sighed in his heart: This Qi army commander is a bit too young, isn't he just in his early thirties? Letting a little boy like Huang Ru lead the army, is it just that the Qi army wants to confuse us? Want us to relax our vigilance?

Ji Bai shook his head and said: "You quickly lead 500 people to guard the city gate for me. If the city gate is broken, you must give me human lives, you fill them one by one! Never let the city gate be broken!"——Yes!
