Chapter 26 Fighting the Abandoned City Again(1/3)
Chapter 26: Fighting the Waste City Again
Three hundred thousand Qin troops came out of Zhongmu and rushed to the Wei realm with tigers and wolves. The first level was Chenliu, the largest city in western Wei, which was caught off guard!
The Qin army was originally the best at field battles, followed by siege cities, and then cavalry wars, and water wars were the last. However, with the emergence of Fusu and the help of Momen, the Qin army had the greatest victory in both field battles, siege cities, or cavalry wars. Therefore, with the help of 300,000 Qin troops, they were defeated by a mere city guarded by 10,000 people, and it was a trivial matter. The army was divided into ten squads, and with the help of a large number of catapults and crossbows, they attacked the city day and night. The poor Chen Liu only persisted for three days and two nights before deciding to fall, and all 10,000 Chu troops were defeated.
Immediately, under the guidance of the "White Dragon and Colorful Phoenix" royal flag, the Qin army was in full force and rushed towards the abandoned city...
In the evening, the setting sun was like fire, and the gentle evening breeze blew the green woods, making a rustling sound.
In front of a decaying grave in the forest, a tall figure stood. Although it was just a back and in casual clothes, it was the king's majesty and demeanor that could not be suppressed. It was Qin Emperor Fusu.
"Brother Tie, I'm here to see you!" Fusu blew the dust and the leaves under the stone tablet, and sat down quietly against the stone tablet.
"I don't know if you are doing well in the past few years. Brother, what do you think, life is very tiring. Wan Jun is pressing on his shoulders. Sometimes you can wake up anxiously at night, so you feel comfortable and you will be out of here early!" Fusu patted the tombstone with a sad look on his face!
"Oh, by the way, Brother Tie, I have found them, Ling Ge and Yang Nan, as well. They have lived well in southern Xinjiang and have made great contributions to the smooth integration of the Chinese nation. I think you must be very happy to hear it!" Fusu said softly at the stone tablet, his expression very sensible.
If someone saw Fusu at this time, it would be hard to believe that this gentle and soft man was actually the overlord of Qin Huang Fusu, a generation of overlords who regained the world. Indeed, only here can Fusu open his heart to the fullest, otherwise he would have to be reserved even in the face of Yang Nan and Ling Ge.
"Brother Tie, I came to see you this time, I didn't bring anything. I only brought a pot of imperial wine and a few dishes you usually like. These are all the skills of imperial chefs. Brother, I don't feel wronged!" As he said that, Fusu smiled and opened the food box under his feet, took out four jade bowls, and placed them in front of the tombstone. Inside were authentic modern dishes: braised fish, braised pork, sweet and sour pork, crispy chicken, and a pot of excellent Guanzhong spirits!
"Come on, Brother Tie, I'll give you a drink for our meeting again in more than ten years. Brother, I'll give you a toast to you first!" As he said that, Fusu gently sprinkled Yijue wine in front of Zhao Tie's tombstone. Looking at the dripping wine, Fusu suddenly felt like crying: the sea turned into mulberry fields, and things have changed in just over ten years!
"Come on, Brother Zhao, it's done!" Fusu poured himself a new title, touched the tombstone, and drank it all over with his neck. Spicy wine poured into his throat, and Fusu's chest seemed to start to burn, and his eyes were a little wet.
"Brother Tie, do you still remember the song "Loyalty for the Country" we loved to sing the most in the past?" In the hazy tears, Fusu began to sing softly, and the heroic and tragic song immediately echoed in the woods.
The wolf smoke rises
Looking northward
The dragon rises and the horse is neighing like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who has resisted in the twenty years
Hate and desire crazy
The sword is aimed at
How many loyal souls are buried in foreign land
Why do you regret your family and country?
I feel speechless and bloody tears are everywhere
Horse hooves go south and people look north
Looking north at the grass green and yellow dust flying
I'm willing to defend my territory and open my borders again
A dignified country
Let all parties come to congratulate you
...
After singing a song, Fusu could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, and tears fell from his cheeks. The difficulties and obstacles that had been experienced over the years flashed through his eyes one by one, thinking about the passing of "Old Man Zhongyin", the First Emperor, Empress, Jing Ke, Gao Jianli..., Fusu's heart didn't know what it felt for a while...
After a long time, Fusu woke up from his thoughts and forced a smile to pat the tombstone: "Brother Tie, I am a little sentimental when I am laughing at you!? But as an emperor, a hero who wants to turn the tide, no matter when I am hard or tired, I have to pretend to be fearless, but who will tell me what I have in my heart? The emperor is also a human being, and he also has his own joys and joys. Brother Tie, can you understand?"
Suddenly, Fusu laughed: "Haha, Brother Tie must be laughing at me! Don't worry, I'm just talking, but I didn't want to give up, otherwise I would definitely be scolded to death by future generations. I also want to go far away from the desert, traverse the grasslands, and spread the reputation of China from all over the country! If I can get into the title of "Qianqiu Overlord" and "A Generation of Famous King"! Haha, look, Brother Tie, I'm a bit far away!" Fusu patted Zhao Tie's tombstone, with a little self-deprecating.
"Ga—Ga—" Two old trolls' voices came from the forest. Fusu looked up at the sky, and it was getting darker. He thought for a while and said, "Brother Tie, it's too late. I'm afraid I can't spend a while with you, otherwise they will be anxious outside the woods. You don't know, it's not easy for me to go on a patrol in a squad now. There are too many rules, what can I do! Before leaving, I'll dance a sword for you and let you see my mighty Qin Feng!"
As he said that, Fusu untied the heroic sword beside his waist and slowly raised it to his eyebrows. "Zheng--" The cold-sparking sword body was deshewn with a long dragon roar. Suddenly, the murderous aura in the forest was bursting with light, and there was a feeling of "one sword light shining on the fourteen states".
Fusu slowly stood up, then shouted loudly, and thirty-six powerful "King Swords" were immediately cast. In an instant, the firm and thick inner breath activated a generation of demon soldiers who were drinking thousands of blood, the heroic sword hero, to start a splendid sword dance!
The sword light flashed rapidly, the wind and thunder moved, and the agile figure was in the forest, moving in front of the tomb, rolling up the wind and sand. The surging king's majesty and the blood-devouring domineering aura emitted by the heroic sword hero instantly filled the woods. The huge pressure was so shocked that the night birds who returned were frightened and left their nests. For a moment, the sky was filled with frightened birds, suddenly flying around, but none of them dared to approach the flying light and shadow in the forest!
‘The sword shadow is cold and the sword is shaking the fourteen states’, is it this state!?
Suddenly, with a long roar, the light in the sky suddenly turned into an unparalleled red leg and flew into the air. "Chi" a bloody rain exploded in the air, and a night bird that was invincible to choose its way to die under the hero's sword, and its soul returned to heaven. "Zheng--" The hero's sword drank blood and returned to the sky, and the screaming sound was loud, like a murderous angry dragon rushing down from the air. "Cang---" With a fierce tremolo, the cold light in the sky was immediately destroyed in the ancient sword sheath!
"Brother Tie, I'm leaving! If I have the chance to come back next time, I will definitely dominate the world!" After a sword dance, the powerful hero returned again and became arrogant!
Fusu bent down and bowed to Zhao Tie, then turned resolutely, walked towards the bloody battlefield, and fought for the Chinese nation!
Abandoned city.
In the early morning, the warm sunset sprinkled across the east horizon, laying the earth with a layer of brilliant gold clothes. The small abandoned city lies quietly between Anzhi Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain like a golden beast, guarding the main throat leading to Daliang for many years.
Under the escort of hundreds of elite cavalry, Fusu and the generals quietly observed the recent situation of the waste city on a hill not far from the waste city: it has been separated from the waste city for more than ten years, and it seems that there is no difference. It is still a city made of loess. Moreover, due to the melee of the princes in Wei in recent years, there are traces of being destroyed and reinforcing on the head of the waste city; the Phoenix Mountain in the east is still so tall and steep, closely connected with the waste city, with flags on the hillside swaying and flies in the wind, and it seems that a considerable number of troops have been arranged.
Fusu smiled slightly and looked back at the generals and said, "It seems that there is nothing new about Peng Yue's arrangement, it is far more loose than the abandoned city guarded by Wu Haoyue back then!" Ying Bu smiled and said, "I heard that when His Majesty attacked the abandoned city, Wu Haoyue and his son Wu Tie arranged a large number of trenches and pits around the abandoned city, as well as Wu Gang's chariots, stone catapults, and so on. Such strict defenses were broken by His Majesty. Now such ordinary defense is no problem!" Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Do you think Peng Yue doesn't want to do this? It's just that he has no time. It will probably take a month to set up such a defense line outside the city. It takes only six or seven days for Peng Yue to arrive at the abandoned city. It would be nice to clean up the endgame left by the Chu army when he attacked the abandoned city not long ago!"
"Haha, General Zhao said it well, Peng Yue has no time! Well, but Peng Yue is not an ordinary person, so he should be more than just a few tricks! Guan Ying!" Fusu suddenly called out. Guan Ying hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
"You lead the five thousand cavalry in our headquarters to attack the deserted city and test the reality! Remember, be careful, especially under the deserted city!" Fusu ordered in a deep voice. "Hey, I won't take the order!" Guan Ying rode away.
Looking at Guan Ying's back as he left, Fusu's emotions were a little complicated: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let the Guan family go. It may take history to test it. But Liu Bang took Guan Ying and finally killed Xiang Yu at Gaixia to achieve great achievements. Even Cao Cao once said, "Don't restrict the orders of the wise." Only by using the talents, I believe that my choice is not wrong!"
After a while, the iron hooves behind Fusu were rumbling, and a high and fast smoke and dust rolled over quickly, rolling over from the hills and heading towards the abandoned city. Now, the war drums and alarm bells on the abandoned city sounded loudly one after another. Countless Chu soldiers rushed to the city, with swords and halberds and bows and crossbows, ready to fight.
Soon, the mercedes-Benz cavalry approached the deserted city, and arrows burst into pieces at the sound of drums on the top of the city, shooting like rain. The Qin cavalry suddenly rushed toward the arrows and continued to approach. From time to time, those who were caught in the arrow fell off their horses and were flooded by iron hooves. As soon as Guan Ying approached, the Qin army took crossbows and installed arrows one after another, and completed the loading work at 150 steps. Then the crossbows were like locusts, shooting accurately towards the city.
At the sound of "puffing", many Chu soldiers were shot down by the Qin army's precise raids, and bloody flowers bloomed. From time to time, the Chu soldiers screaming and screaming fell head-on and fell to the city, with their brains bursting and bones broken!
Seeing approaching the moat, the horses in front suddenly neighed and fell to the ground, with their legs broken. The Qin cavalry on the horse could not hold back and fell forward. Most of them could not hold back, and the neck bones were broken and the dead were dead. Guan Ying was shocked and looked carefully: but he saw that there were caves as big as fists on the ground. As soon as the horse's horse's hooves stepped in, they would be broken immediately by the huge inertia that rushed forward and fell down!
Guan Ying frowned and shouted, "Please pay attention to the holes under her feet, don't step into the horse's hooves!" The Qin cavalry, who suffered a loss, dared not be careless, so she had to stop the horse and pay attention to the caves on the ground and avoid them. But in this way, the speed of the charge was immediately slowed down, and it was difficult to shoot against Zhang Nuo and the city head. He couldn't take care of it, and was immediately shot by the Chu army. When the Qin cavalry approached the narrow moat and was about to jump on the horse, he suddenly felt the soil under his feet floating, and the people and horses screamed and fell into the trap, and was pierced by the pickets in the pit.
Guan Ying was shocked and saw that she had basically discovered the reality and quickly ordered: "Hurry, retreat! Go back!" "Woo--" At the place where the military horn was built, the Qin army came and went quickly, and separated from the abandoned city like a sudden whirlwind and rushed towards the hill set up by Fusu.
"Arrangement!" Guan Ying shouted loudly, leaving the cavalry to form a formation under the hill, and rushed up the hill. "Your Majesty!" Guan Ying shook the stirrup and took a horse down and bowed to the ground: "The last general has tried it. The city seems calm, but there is actually an ambush. The Chu army dug many holes as big as fists in the city. After our horses were trapped in, the hooves of our army often broke and lost their combat power. When approaching the moat, the Chu army also laid a pit, which was filled with pinnacles and bamboo thorns!"
"Thank you for your hard work, are you losing a lot?" Fusu asked. "Your Majesty, you will be killed or injured by about 500 cavalry, but it's just ordinary!" Guan Ying was trapped in the battle formation, but he was not at all nervous!
"Okay, since you know the opponent's weaknesses and reality, go back and design to defeat the enemy. Let's go and go back to the camp!" Fusu smiled. "Here!" The generals responded, followed each other and returned to the camp together.
...
Back in the camp, Fusu gathered the generals to discuss how to attack the abandoned city.
Ying preached: "Your Majesty, it's better to follow your old plans. First take Phoenix Mountain and gain a condescending geographical advantage. Then, while monitoring the mobilization of Chu troops and the situation in the city on the top of the mountain, you can also send "Wolf Tooth" to sneak into the city for destruction, and even install a catapult on the top of the mountain, and bombard the ruined city from a high point!"
Zhao Tuo said: "Yes, Your Majesty, if we take Phoenix Mountain, we will win half of the battle, and the battles will be easy to fight!" Qiang Wei said: "But the terrain of Phoenix Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the probe, there are 5,000 Chu troops defending here, so it is probably not easy to conquer. In the past, Your Majesty used the right soldiers in front of the mountain to lure each other, and the "Wolf Tooth" behind the mountain to attack each other, but now the Chu army must be guarding against us for the same trick, which is very difficult to deal with!"
"Well, General Qiang said so much! Phoenix Mountain is very important, but it is not a wise man to force this mountain. Think about it carefully and see if you can make another surprise plan?" Fusu also had a headache: It is definitely no problem to capture the abandoned city, but how much time it takes to fight is the big problem!
The generals fell into deep thought for a moment, and the tent quickly calmed down.
Suddenly, Guan Ying said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that I don't know whether to talk about it?" "Oh, what good plan does General Guan have? Let's talk about it?" Fusu looked happy.
Guan Ying laughed and said, "Anyone who uses a plan to defeat the enemy, the central plan is to make the enemy unprepared and enter the turmoil. Now that the Chu army is prepared in Fenghuang Mountain, our army cannot obtain it, and it is difficult to achieve a surprise attack. It is better to lure it with a plan to hide the sky and make the enemy unprepared. This is what I think, and use Your Majesty's past plan to use it: use the "Xu Ming Army" to attack the back mountain to attract the enemy's attention and lure the main force of the enemy to the back mountain. In secret, another elite attacker attacks the front mountain and attack them from the front and back. You will definitely win! What is the "Xu Ming Army"? It is an attacker on the surface, but because of the secret leakage of whereabouts from the enemy, it turns into a regular army. It can be like this... so..." Guan Ying explained his idea in detail!
Fusu's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "It's wonderful, it's a combination of strangeness and righteousness, and it's a real thing, and it can also make a name for itself. Zhao Kai is just a brave man, how can he know this wonderful plan? What do you think?"
The generals looked at each other and thought it was a good plan. Zhang Liang smiled and said, "General Guan is indeed young and capable. This plan is very good, and you can try it!" Fusu nodded and said, "Okay, if you can follow this plan to capture Fenghuang Mountain, General Guan will be the first to make a plan! Military advisor, you will arrange this battle!" "Here!" Zhang Liang took the order.
Phoenix Mountain, Chu army camp.
At noon, Zhao Kai was fully equipped with a sling and was taking more than ten personal soldiers around the village. He had to give instructions every time he arrived at a sentry point and was very responsible. Seeing that the sun was approaching, the personal soldiers captain said, "General, it's getting late, so let's go back to the account first. The Qin army has been busy building siege equipment these two days, so he shouldn't come to attack my Phoenix Mountain!"
Zhao Kai shook his head and said, "You can't be careless. This Qin Emperor has many tricks. None of his civil and military officials are easy to mess with. If one is not good, he will lose Fenghuang Mountain. When you go to the back mountain to inspect it, you will go back!" "Here!"
The group moved to the back mountain in a short while. A Chu army captain on duty was leading 300 Chu soldiers to guard the mountain. Seeing Zhao Kai coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "The last general has seen Hu Tong and General Zhao!" Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Well, how is the situation in the back mountain?" Hu Tong hurriedly said, "Go back to the general, everything is normal. Brothers have set up posts at all passes and cliffs, and there are crossbowmen to set up defenses at high places, so they are foolproof!" "Very good!" Zhao Kai patted Hu Tong on the shoulder and said, "But you can't be careless, and strictly prevent the Qin army from attacking. You must know that if Phoenix Mountain is lost, the abandoned city will be halfway through!" "I understand!"
The group was walking along the back mountain for a while, suddenly, a reprimanded soldiers rushed over: "General Zhao, General Zhao, there is something!" "Oh, let's talk slowly, what did you find?" Zhao Kai said anxiously.
"Return to the general," Qi Gu said with a breath: "My brothers and I were on the back mountain to watch, and found that there were many Qin soldiers behind the mountain to haunt him! There were many Qin soldiers, so we didn't dare to force ourselves. We just followed them quietly to see what they wanted to do. But we found that they came to the hidden place in the back mountain and were spying on our defenses. It was not until almost noon that we retreated. The villain did not dare to be negligent and came quickly to report to the general!"
Zhao Kai was shocked and said, "Can the Qin army want to repeat the same trick, and then have another feint attack in the front mountain, and sneak attack in the back mountain!?" Hu Tong shook his head and said, "General, I'm afraid there may not be a single Qin army in the front mountain, so how can he come to feint attack? Moreover, the Qin army is building siege equipment in the open, which is obviously an attitude of not planning to attack for the moment. It is very likely that he just wants to attack from the back mountain while our army is negligent!"
"Well, it makes sense, but you shouldn't be careless!" Zhao Kai nodded and said, "I will immediately add three hundred troops to guard you. If you find any abnormal movement in the back mountain, come and report me quickly! However, the front village must not be guarded. It is said that I will change the order. The front village will change the four shifts a day to three shifts a day, and strictly guard it. Also, I will send more deceased troops immediately to deploy defenses along the mountain, especially the back mountain. We must closely monitor the movements of the Qin camp and ensure that everything is foolproof!" "Here!"
...
The night gradually became deeper, and the wind was howling up the Phoenix Mountain, and the sound was a bit scary. Zhao Kai was lying in the tent. Because he was worried about military information, he felt a little difficult to fall asleep. Seeing that it was almost the second update, a personal soldier outside the tent shouted urgently: "General, general, there is an emergency military information!" Zhao Kai was shocked and quickly turned over and sat up and said, "What's the matter? Come in!" The next rebuke replied: "General, there are about four or five thousand elite Qin army infantrymen sneaking into the back mountain and coming to my back camp. Please decide!"
When Zhao Kai heard this, he frowned and suddenly asked, "Have you ever found the Qin army in front of the mountain?" "No, General! The villain has been staring outside the Qin army camp since the evening. He only saw this Qin army coming out of the camp and heading for my back mountain. In addition, there were tens of thousands of Qin infantry and cavalry lined up to the north city. This may be the intention of instigating the Qin army that sneaked into the Fenghuang Mountain! When I entered the camp from the front of the mountain, I did not find any enemy traces!"
"Okay, I'm relieved. The Qin army's focus is indeed the same as last time. But this time I even saved the feint of the front mountain! Humph, it's not that easy to take risks by chance!" Zhao Kai looked up and gritted his teeth and said, "The back mountain is steep, and our army is ready. I want to see how the Qin army takes me Phoenix Mountain! Hurry up, put on armor for me and send orders: except for leaving a thousand soldiers along the front camp's guard office, the rest will all go to the back mountain to meet the Qin army! Be careful not to make a statement, so as not to alarm the Qin army!" "Here!"
"Also, continue to send more scattered people to monitor the movements of the Qin camp to avoid any change!" "Here!"
In fact, it cannot be said that Zhao Kai was not thought carefully, but that the Qin army was too cunning: because the Qin army attacked the two units of the "Wolf Fang" and "Pojun" in the front camp of the Chu army did not sneak from the northern camp, but had already crossed the Maling Mountain in the east of Fenghuang Mountain a day in advance, and quietly came to the mountains and fields south of Fenghuang Mountain to hide, waiting for the opportunity to take action. Zhao Kaiqi was a short move, and it was not unfair to lose below!
...
When Zhao Kai led more than 3,000 reinforcements to the Chu army quietly arrived at the back mountain, Hu Tong hurriedly came up. "How is it, has the Qin army come up?" Zhao Kai asked anxiously. "Return to the general, not yet! The rebel lurking in the back mountain just returned: the Qin army's sneak attack troops had just passed the cross cliff, and it would take about a quarter of an hour to get under the cliff. By the way, General, how do you plan to deal with this Qin army?"
"Well——" Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said, "The bolder way is to put some Qin troops on the cliff, then the crossbowmen all rise up, shoot them all to death, and then grab the edge of the cliff and smash the climbing Qin troops down, so that most of the Qin troops can be wiped out in one go. However, if the situation cannot be controlled, it will be a bit dangerous. Be safer. We ambushed on the top of the cliff, and when the Qin troops are about to climb up, the arrows and stones will hit them down together. They tossed for three or two times, but when they couldn't attack, they retreated!" Hu Tong thought for a while and said, "Okay, this can kill the Qin troops!"
At this moment, nearly 4,000 Chu troops were ambushed along the cliffs of the back mountain, and the Jinghou Qin army came.
At the same time, as the third update was approaching, a thousand "Wolf Tooth" dead soldiers lying in the south of Phoenix Mountain also quietly emerged from the mountains and quietly came to the mountains. As for some of the rebukes that the Chu army ambushed in front of the mountain, it was just a small task for the strange and erratic "Wolf Tooth"!
This is really what you hit you, I hit me, ‘The mantis replenishes the cicada, the oriole is behind’!
