Chapter 53 In the third quarter of the Hanoi War, Zhang Yi attacked Aocang

The big tent of the Chinese army at Hangu Pass was brightly lit all night, horses were probing like a shuttle, and the sound of military orders made everyone nervous and busy. Being in the army for the first time, Zhang Yi was extraordinarily cheered up.He almost forgot that he was a military counselor in the prime minister's body, but he eagerly observed every link of the army's operation, savoring, feeling, and even trying to figure out his own experience in his short sleep.As a descendant of a military family, Zhang Yi was full of longing for the battlefield when he was young, and he worshiped famous military generals like gods. When the teacher first asked him what career he wanted to do in Wangwu Mountain, Zhang Yi did not hesitate. He replied hesitantly: "A military strategist." But the teacher said that he "has no money in hits, and he will be defeated if he joins the army", so he and Su Qin were sent to study vertical and horizontal studies.Even so, Zhang Yi's yearning for military strategists and interest in the iron horse career have not diminished slightly.Today, if I try it as I wish, I am full of energy and try to figure it out everywhere.In the big account of the Chinese army, he never asked about Sima Cuo's frequent dispatch orders, he just watched and thought.

Right now, Zhang Yi felt that Sima Cuo's way of gathering the army was quite different from what he had imagined. Qin has a total of 200,000 troops.According to Zhang Yi's thinking, in such a battle that is about the success or failure of Lian Heng, it is natural to gather all the heavy troops to fight outside Hangu Pass.But when he rushed from Xianyang to the Lantian General Account to dispatch the army, Sima Cuo divided the Qin army into five branches: 10,000 left behind at Dasan Pass and Chencang Fortress in the west, and 10,000 left behind at Wuguan in the southeast. The 20,000 left behind are all infantry; The Lantian Camp has 40,000 troops stationed, all of whom are elite cavalry; the remaining 140,000 troops are divided into three branches: the first main force is 100,000 troops, mixed in infantry and cavalry, and they all set up camp at Hangu Pass; 20,000 troops secretly drove into the southeastern valley of Xiaoshan Mountain to camp; the third group of 20,000 troops, all elite cavalry, secretly drove into the valley on the south bank of the Dahe River outside Hangu Pass to camp.Sima Cuo strictly ordered: "Within two days, all troops must be in place and set up camp! Except for the Hanguguan camp, the rest of the ministries must be stationed invisible and must not be noticed by the enemy!"

As the evening gets deeper, the bright moon hangs high over the Hanguguan Archery Tower, and the sound of fighting makes the mountains more quiet.Zhang Yi's clothes were scattered, and he walked leisurely into the large tent of the Chinese army.Sima Cuo smiled and said: "The Prime Minister is so free and easy. Please sit down." Zhang Yi smiled and said: "You can only know about the military travel when you enter the general's account. Zhang Yi is here to ask for advice." Sima Cuo smiled frankly: "The Prime Minister does not know, but The question is, why dare to teach?"

"There is no war in the southwest, so why stay behind 20,000?" "There are many sudden battles in the Warring States Period. If I can attack the enemy, the enemy can also attack me. There is danger without defense, and the natural barrier is also the way. This is the so-called preparedness." "Since there are left guards, why are they all infantry?" "Stick to the dangerous pass, infantry is better than iron cavalry. Once attacked, I will only stick to it, and infantry is enough." "There is nothing wrong in Guanzhong, why leave 40,000 cavalry in Lantian?"

"In any great battle, unexpected changes are bound to happen. Forty thousand cavalry live in the center of the pass, and it is safe to deal with unforeseen dangers." "How can the two armies outside the Xiaoshan River be stationed invisible?" "It's hard to be invisible in the military camps of the six countries. The Qin army can do it alone: ​​cooked meat and dried cakes can't afford military cooking." "Take one hundred thousand as four hundred and eighty thousand. If the enemy army is coming from mountains and seas, how can we respond?"

"The mountain plateau outside Hangu Pass can accommodate more than 200,000 soldiers and horses galloping. If the enemy comes in a sea of ​​people, they will be fish and meat." Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Ah, I didn't expect it to be so simple, but it made me hard to figure it out." Sima laughed wrongly and said: "Everything is simple when it is clear, and strange if it is not clear. For example, before Lian Heng, the whole country was confused. Once the prime minister opened up, wouldn't it be very simple?" "It makes sense!" Zhang Yi said with great emotion: "Although the reason is simple, people in the matter are often confused. The cleverness of using it comes from one heart, but it can't be done without a genius! The fault of Fang Ling back then was not that there was no danger. Keep it?"

"The prime minister's savvy is admirable!" Sima Cuo cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I'm just asking to teach the prime minister: There are so many talents in the general ledger of the Six Kingdoms, how might they plan?" Zhang Yi: "The general ledger of the six countries is dominated by Su Qin and the four princes. This is the so-called five chief ledgers. Under the general ledger is Zilan, the commander of the six armies, and the next is the chief general of the five countries. In terms of military talents, the five chief ledgers of the general ledger are roughly the same as Zhang Yi is on the same level, they are all half bottles of water. Among them, Lord Xinling is proficient in the art of war. However, this person is envied by the King of Wei, but he has never raised troops in battle. As for General Zilan, he is more rigid Noble son, neither the tempering of the army, nor the ability to command an army, only knows how to exercise power. This man is a commander, and he cannot conquer the crowd, but can only create chaos. Bi, Tian Jian, and Han Peng are two capable, Fei Yi and Zi Zhi. Although Fei Yi is capable, his rank is low, and he is also attached to Lord Pingyuan. , and he is the confidant of the King of Yan, eager to make contributions, and most likely to give advice. In conclusion, Mr. Xinling and his son are the two figures who can influence the battle plan."

"Does the prime minister think that there will be chaos in the six kingdoms?" "Trouble is inevitable, but with Su Qin here, there will be no confusion." Zhang Yi paced back and forth thinking, "What kind of clever plan can these two characters come up with? I am vague and vague, and I can't figure it out." "Actually, the prime minister has made it clear." "Oh? Did I make it clear?" Zhang Yi laughed and shook her head: "Why am I still in the fog?" "Schemes come from people, and people must have roots." Sima Cuo smiled slightly: "You are a good general who fights against the barbarians, and your plan must not be separated from the cavalry. The chief of the cavalry is to attack quickly. If you plan to me, you must Instead of supporting us head-on, they are attacking our northern regions and Xiaoshan, making it impossible for me to look at each other from head to tail, but there is also a difficulty."

"Where is the difficulty?" "Yan State sent 60,000 troops, but only 10,000 cavalry. If they want to attack, they must increase Wei State's iron cavalry. However, Wei State did not send cavalry. The prime minister thinks that it is possible for the Six Kingdoms to increase their troops or even change their generals?" "Absolutely impossible." Zhang Yi waved his hand: "The formation of an army from the six kingdoms is the result of a calculation of interests and interests. Who would use one general to plot to disrupt the situation?" "In this way, I am at ease." Sima Cuo breathed a sigh of relief: "There is no danger of rushing, and the following chess is not up to him. It's just that Sima Cuo has to ask the prime minister."

"Oh? What do you want me to do? Just say it." Zhang Yi suddenly became excited. Sima Cuo said in a low voice for a while, and Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Okay! I, Zhang Yi, are really free and easy!" The military division's tent was next to the Chinese army's tent, and as soon as Zhang Yi returned the tent, Fei Yun jumped up happily to clean it up.Ying Hua was stunned and said: "You really want to lead the army?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Is there any fake? Go and pack up your armor." Ying Hua said: "You know the military law of the Qin army, and those who lose for no reason will be killed?" Zhang Yi said "If you lose an army for no reason, you will behead yourself. But what does it have to do with me?" Ying Hua blushed anxiously: "Don't pretend to be confused, you are not a talent in battle, why should you be innocent?" Your Majesty didn’t agree, so what’s the point?” Ying Hua said, “It’s your Majesty’s strict order: I must protect you.” Zhang Yi said with a teasing smile, “Then you’ll sleep all day long.” Ying Hua Angry and laughing again: "There are so many generals in the Qin Army!" Zhang Yi laughed and said: "But, who knows Hanoi better than me?" He patted Ying Hua on the shoulder and said loudly: "There is such a large army, such a commander, such Planning, I, Zhang Yi, don't even have the guts to fight on horseback, He Yan to Qin's elders? He Yan is the prime minister?" Ying Hua was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly: "Okay! It's up to you." Then he entered the back tent .

In a moment, Yinghua Feiyun came out of the tent, looking at a big man who looked like an iron tower in the tent, he couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment!It turned out that Zhang Yi had already dressed neatly: a tasselless iron helmet with ear protection and goggles on his head, a pair of general iron armor with large shoulder pads on his body, a pair of cowhide iron-toed combat boots under his feet, and a Yue Wang Wu hook in his hand. The upper body is black iron armor, the eyes are shining in the small holes of the eye protection, and the crescent-shaped Wu hook, standing silently under the lamp is mighty and terrifying! Suddenly, Yinghua Feiyun giggled and made a mess: "Hey! You're alive and well." Feiyun laughed so hard that she fell down. Zhang Yi's clothes are the iron armor of the Qin army's generals, and the whole set weighs more than 60 catties. If bows and arrows are added, as well as dry food and meat, it will weigh more than 100 catties.This alone shows how difficult it is to be a fierce general of the Qin army.At this moment, Zhang Yi's upper body in the iron armor suddenly gushed out an invincible sense of strength and pleasure, which was very refreshing.Hearing the laughter of the two, Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said: "The last general is wearing armor, so he can't give a full salute." Yinghua Feiyun laughed even more. "Hey! Why don't you wear your own general's armor? It's lighter." Ying Hua was very surprised. "This is a surprise attack, and the handsome cloak is too ostentatious. Oh——, what a heroic young general!" Ying Hua and Fei Yun were dressed in cowhide and copper soft armor, combat boots on their feet, a copper helmet on their heads, and a leather bag on their backs. They were really slender and heroic young generals.Zhang Yi reminded the two of the main points of this trip, and the three of them strode out of the tent, just as the accompanying military Sima sent by Sima Cuo had just rushed out of the tent, the four of them mounted the horses on the horse stakes, and galloped out of the big tent. camp. The main camp of the Qin army was set up at the northern foot of Xiaoshan Mountain outside Hangu Pass, and the new camp of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations had advanced to the mountain plateau west of Luoyang, only a few dozen miles away.And a cavalry of the Qin army has inserted behind the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, hiding in the valley to the west of Hulao Mountain.The place Zhang Yi was going to was the Unnamed Valley where this cavalry was hiding. The terrain was unfamiliar, so it was really hard to find. Zhang Yi was originally from Wei, and Wang Wushan, who studied in Wei, was also in Wei, and he was the first to visit Wei when he was a student, so he was naturally very familiar with the terrain of Hanoi.He left the Qin army's camp and immediately flew to the northeast.In less than half an hour, we arrived at the vast grassy beach on the south bank of the big river.It was mid-autumn, and the river entered the dry season. The waist-deep reed grass on the river beach had turned yellow and dried, and the mud on the beach had also turned into a damp hard surface.The horses flew by, and the elastic ground not only silenced the sound of the horseshoes, but also covered up the traces of the knights in the vast reeds. Not to mention that it was difficult to detect under the dim moonlight, even in daylight, it was difficult to detect from a mile away.The "Seasonal Avenue" chosen by Zhang Yi was really fast, and the horse galloped, and when the moon came to an end, the four of them had already crossed the Mengjin Ferry.After another half an hour, they entered Hulao Mountain. Hulao Mountain guards the south bank of the Dahe River, and there are many hills and valleys around it. Although it is not a steep mountain, it is full of lush forests and twists and turns.According to the direction given by the Military Affairs Sima, Zhang Yi found this valley in the northeast of Hulao Mountain without any effort.Entering the mouth of the valley, the horses walked slowly, but it was very quiet, and there was no sign of people or horses at all. Suddenly, a long howl of a wolf swept across the valley!The Military Affairs Sima puckered his lips, and immediately let out three short, sharp owls.As soon as the cry fell, the small dark trees on both sides of the mountain road suddenly fell down, and two tall figures suddenly appeared in front of the horse, shouting in a low voice: "There is a tiger prison in the east!" The military affairs Sima said in a low voice: "There is Hangu in the west. "A figure whispered: "Follow me." Then he strode towards the valley, and the other figure immediately turned into one of the dark saplings. After turning two hills, we came to an inconspicuous valley.Under the moonlight, there are mountains and forests, but there is no military tent, no voice of people, no neighing of horses, it is no different from ordinary valleys!Zhang Yi was puzzled, how could 20,000 cavalry be hidden here?While thinking about it, he followed the "little tree" into a cave in the dark.The entrance of the cave is small, but the cave is quite spacious, and there is a faint sound of heavy snoring. "Xiaoshu" coughed, and the heavy snoring suddenly stopped, and a figure suddenly appeared: "Has the military order arrived?" The military secretary said in a low voice: "General Baishan, the prime minister has arrived." Lightly exclaimed, and said in a low voice: "Riding the right general Baishan, see the Prime Minister!" Zhang Yi smiled and said: "No, no, there is no prime minister, only General Zhang. Remember?" "Hi!" Bai Shan agreed and said, "Please come with me and talk to the bright place." Turning around a few huge bald rocks, I saw a ray of moonlight shining in the cave, which was exceptionally refreshing to those who were used to the darkness.Several people sat down on the bald stone, and then a sergeant brought four skin bags and a cloth bag, and Bai Shan said: "Prime Minister... no, General Zhang, this is dried beef from Hulao Spring, first fill it up." That's it." Zhang Yi shook her hand and said, "We, like the knights, bring our own military food, so we don't need to provide it in the future. We can get some water locally, but we can enjoy some. Come, let's drink a bag first, Hulao mountain spring water is famous for its sweetness. After the four of them drank, the Military Affairs Sima said: "General Baishan, the general has an order: the prime minister will decide the strategy and path of the surprise attack, and you just fight. If you don't fight well, ask about the military law!" "Hey! But please give the order, General Zhang, the last general will be the main battle!" Zhang Yi smiled and said: "General Baishan, before I came to the army, it was because I was familiar with Hanoi, not because I was familiar with the strategy of battle formation. Although the general has such an order, you only regard me as a village leader. If I have a strategy, I will say it." , if there is something wrong, then don’t listen to it. Don’t lose the opportunity to fight because of bad feelings. The old Qin people are not fake, are they?” Bai Shan cupped his hands and said with emotion: "Prime Minister is so open-minded, his doubts will disappear in the end. There are 20,000 right riders, all of them are Mengxi Bai's children in Mei County. There is no mistake in fighting! Prime Minister, no, General Zhang Danjue's strategy is the way." "Okay!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Is it safe to hide for another day?" "There is no mistake." Bai Shan was full of confidence: "This valley is an outpost, and the horses and knights are hiding behind a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is no military tent, no military cooking, horses enter the forest to feed, and people enter the cave. Food, and then hide for another three or two days." "How many days will the knight's military food last?" "Three days." "How far is the sentinel?" "Fifteen miles around." "Okay! Get a good night's sleep tomorrow and recharge your energy. I'm afraid you won't be free if you want to sleep in the next few days." "Hi!" Bai Shan answered again: "The Prime Minister is tired of pommel horse, please rest too. Shall I go get some military blankets?" "No need. General, let's deal with military affairs, and report to me at any time." Bai Shan agreed and left the cave.Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Go to sleep, the less movement during the day the better." The four of them took off their armor, opened the military felt to cover their bodies, and fell asleep. At noon, two fast horses flew in front of the camp of the Qin army.Reining in a stone's throw away from the gate of the camp, one person shouted from a distance: "I am the special envoy of the coalition forces. I am here to issue a letter of challenge. Hurry up and report to the general!" "The special envoy will wait a moment—" Qin Jun responded at the gate of the village, and then he heard the horseshoes raining like rain and left.After a while, Yiqi flew out of the gate of the camp and said loudly: "The special envoy comes with me." When the words fell, the horse's head had already circled, and he galloped into the camp with the two riders. The big tent of the Chinese army was empty, there were only two soldiers outside the tent, and there was no killing spirit inside the tent.After the two special envoys sat down, a military official brought a clay pot and bowl, filled it with herbal tea and asked the special envoy to drink slowly.The two special envoys looked at each other in confusion, and one of them said with high spirits: "I'm going to fight and see the general!" The officer cupped his hands and said, "The general is taking a nap, please wait for a while." A special envoy said with a smile: "Oh, So free and easy!" The officer said: "The general is just a little sick because of the wind at night." The other special envoy laughed and said, "It's because of the wind and cold on patrol, the cold in Xiaoshan is very severe." The officer was stern. Said: "The two armies are hostile, please don't gossip." The two special envoys stopped talking. Half an hour later, there was a heavy coughing and panting from the back tent, and then footsteps were heard, a dark and thin man in a soft armor and a cotton cloak came out, his eyes swept over the two of them, but his eyes were piercing.He walked slowly to the handsome case and sat down: "Are you the special envoy of the coalition forces?" There was a clear hissing pant in his voice. The two special envoys stood up, and the tall one said: "Jing Yu and Tian Feng, the special envoys of the coalition army, please refer to the general! This is the letter of war written by General Zi Lan, the commander of our Sixth Army." The military official took the letter of war, removed the cloth cover, Bring a roll of bamboo slips to Shuai's case. The dark and thin man unfolded the bamboo slips with a reserved hand, glanced at them and said with a smile: "Zi Lan has an ancient style, it's the first time I have encountered Sima Cuo in the afternoon, when is the decisive battle?" "The battle is written clearly, and the decisive battle will be tomorrow!" Sima smiled wrongly and said, "Since learning from the ancients, it is easy to learn from phenomena. Don't Zilan understand after three days of fighting?" He mentioned the five characters "Fighting battle in three days" written on the bamboo slips with the Tongguan's goose feather brush.The military officials stepped forward and rolled up the bamboo slips and handed them back to the special envoy. The special envoy said proudly: "My general has something to say: the whole world is full of the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin State, and I am not afraid of it alone. But receiving the letter of war is the banner of a dignified and upright battle. The two armies are facing a decisive battle, and they must not resort to sneak attacks!" " Sima Cuo laughed loudly, but coughed so hard that he gasped for a while, his face was flushed and his voice was hoarse: "Okay! It's a decisive battle, and the Six Kingdoms will be convinced to lose!" "Take care, General, I'm leaving!" The two special envoys strode out of the tent of the Chinese army, and left the camp after a while. From the back account came the energetic Sima Cuo: "General Shanjia, thanks to your ready-made sickness, it's not bad to deal with such two people!" The dark and thin man panted, "Isn't it just two military envoys?" " Sima Cuo shook his head and smiled: "One is Mengchang Lord, one is Chunshen Lord, big shots." The dark and thin man jumped for joy: "Oh! Shanjia's illness is worth it!" Everyone in the tent laughed. Zilan's Chinese army tent suddenly became lively! Mr. Mengchang and Mr. Chunshen made a detailed account of his coming back, and there were suddenly disagreements in the accounts.It was Su Qin's idea to explore the camp in the afternoon. The original intention was to test whether the Qin army could agree to such a frontal battle?Because the 2,000 chariots of the Chu army and the more than 200,000 infantry from various countries are most suitable for fighting in formation; if the chariots and infantry can form a large frontal formation, and the two wings are supplemented by cavalry raids to outflank, the chances of victory are assured.This is the best strategy repeatedly agreed upon by the coalition general ledger.The news brought back today is quite surprising: Sima Cuo not only agreed to form a decisive battle, but also three days later; more importantly, Sima Cuo seems to be suffering from "Xiaoshan Fever"-this is the reason for the hunting of mountain people in Xiaoshan. A kind of strange disease, once contracted, lethargy and anorexia, more than a month will be as thin as wood.If this is the case, wouldn't it be the great fortune of the Six Kingdoms!This is what surprised the Ledger and the generals, and it was what divided them. Zilan was the most excited, and advocated delaying for ten days, and when Sima Cuo was seriously ill, he would attack in one fell swoop, so that he could do everything he could!Zhao general Feiyi believed that if the delay continued, the Qin army might change generals, so it was better to follow the plan and fight the decisive battle as scheduled in three days.Wei Jiang Jinbi, Qi Jiang Tianjian, and Han Jiang Han Peng all supported Fei Yi, thinking that this is a perfect solution.The Lord and General of the Yan State, Zizhi, put forward an astonishing proposition: to launch a surprise attack tomorrow night and defeat the main force of the Qin army in one fell swoop!Zizhi eloquently stated three reasons: First, soldiers are not tired of deceit, so how do you know that Sima's mistakes are not pretending to be sick?Second, the coordination of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations is laborious, and it is not suitable to delay for a long time, but to fight quickly; third, among all the situations, only the fact that Sima mistakenly approved the "final battle in three days" is credible, and the Qin army's vigilance will inevitably be relaxed within three days. , is the only chance for the coalition forces to win! After a heated debate, no one could refute Zizhi's eloquent reasoning.Based on Sima Cuo's illness, it is obviously a fluke, and it is very likely to be fooled, so Lian Zilan no longer insists.From all perspectives, an early raid is a viable tactic.In the end, it finally got the unanimous approval of everyone. "Okay!" Mr. Pingyuan smiled and said, "Sima Cuo is good at sneak attack, let's teach him how to sneak attack today!" "Oh, ah, according to his own way, he will be punished, and Fang Ling's revenge will be avenged!" Chunshen Jun was even more happy. "Don't worry." Jun Mengchang said with a smile: "The battlefield is deceitful. I can attack people, and people can attack me. Think about your own weaknesses first." "Meng Changjun's words are very true." Su Qin said: "The key of the Sixth Army lies in the food road. Aocang is more than a hundred miles away from the Sixth Army's camp, and there are convoys of trains on the road every day. Does Lord Xinling think it is safe?" Lord Xinling pondered for a while and said: "General Jin Bi dragged back to protect the grain road. Besides, to the west of Aocang is the fortress of Hulao, and to the west of Hulao is my continuous camp. There should be no danger in such an important place. " "That's right." Lord Pingyuan said: "If the six countries transport grain separately, the roads are far away and the defenses will be stretched. Now there is only one grain road, and Ao Cang is the foundation of Wei State. Not to mention the army of Jin and Bi, Ao Cang Order There are still 5,000 cavalry in the barracks. Besides, Hangu Pass is more than 200 miles away from Aocang, and the dangerous fortresses are all defended, and the Qin army has nowhere to go!" "What about the back?" Su Qin asked, "Isn't it okay to go south from beyond the river?" "Mr. Wu Xin is worrying too much." The always taciturn Jin Bi said: "There are only two ferries going south from outside the river: Mengjin Ferry is the Luoyang Fortress of the Zhou Dynasty, and our army is also close at hand; Baima Ferry is Wei Zhao Waterway, which has always been the Zhao State Guarded by heavy soldiers, there will be no mistakes." "Oh, the south is even more impossible, unless the Qin army spreads its wings and flies over Sanchuan and then South Korea." "That's good!" Su Qin patted the case: "General Zilan, you can give the order." Zilan excitedly issued an order: the infantry of Qi, Han, and Zhao, with Tian Jian as the general, attacked the camp of the Qin army at night in three routes; The army was led by Zilan himself, and blocked the Qin army in the vast frontal area; Lord Xinling and Lord Mengchang led 50,000 elite infantry, and took advantage of the chaos to capture Hangu Pass; main force!Su Qin sits in charge of the general ledger and serves as a credit inspector. The fifth leader of the general ledger weighed it with the generals, and they all felt that this was a very powerful battle, and they all agreed.So they immediately went back to the camp, preparing for the surprise attack tomorrow night. As soon as the sun reached the top of the mountain, it became dark in the valley. In the afternoon, Zhang Yi woke up, cut open a piece of dry bread with a dagger, stuffed it with a large piece of dried beef in sauce, wolfed it down, and poured half a bag of mountain spring water, immediately refreshed.They called Bai Shan and Military Affairs Sima, and the three of them hid in the corner of the cave, painting and talking, tossing and tossing for more than an hour.Baishan and Military Affairs Sima are not familiar with the land of Hanoi, and the two township guides accompanying the army can only lead the way accurately after you explain the place names, and cannot fully describe the topography of Hulao and Aocang with a radius of hundreds of miles, let alone draw pictures describe.And for a general who leads 20,000 cavalry to complete a large raid, it is extremely important to be completely familiar with the relationship between terrain and roads.Zhang Yi and Bai Shan immediately noticed this fatal weakness after talking a few words, so he took the trouble to draw from the valley where he is now, explaining in detail the relationship between all the mountains, rivers, main roads, and small roads, and asked Bai Shan to repeat the drill many times, It took a lot of work.Fortunately, Bai Shan is a descendant of the Bai family in Mei County. Although his family background fell during Shang Yang's political reform, he was also quite talented in reading and writing, and he finally got a clear picture of the terrain and roads in this area. After talking about the terrain, we discuss the tactics.Baishan's proposition is simple: find a place to attack and storm in, burn the grain depot and then retreat!Zhang Yi said with a smile: "It can only harass the Allied Forces of the Six Nations. It's a pity that 20,000 cavalry are lost. Listen to me..." Zhang Yi said it in detail, and finally asked with a smile: "How? Tell the truth!" At this point, Baishan jumped up and shouted: "Okay! I will listen to the prime minister, brothers, everyone will make contributions!" Yinghua Feiyun was awakened, and after hearing the military affairs Sima's theory, he was so happy that he immediately ate, drank, cleaned up, and made a good job. Prepared for a night raid. As soon as it got dark, Baishan ordered to gather the floating sentries.After three long wolf howls in the forest, Baishan led Zhang Yi and his party out of the cave, turned around two hills, and entered a long canyon.Bai Shan whispered: "Prime Minister, this is a valley with only one exit." Zhang Yi looked all the way, and saw that the valley was getting wider and wider, and the innermost part was a basin surrounded by mountains. dark! Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The people and horses are all in the dense forest on the hillside?" Bai Shan said: "Exactly. Order to concentrate." "Wait a minute." Zhang Yi suddenly thought of something, and whispered a few words to Bai Shan.Bai Shan nodded happily: "That's great! Brothers must work harder." After finishing speaking, he put his hands on his cheeks, and immediately there was a roar of a tiger echoing in the valley!Three tigers roared in succession, and the black shadows in the dense forest on the hillside rushed down one after another, and the slight and hurried footsteps in the valley were like continuous drizzle falling on the boundless lotus pond.In a short while, two huge knight phalanxes gathered in the valley, and no one screamed.After the square array was set, some military officials brought the horses of Zhang Yi and the others over.Zhang Yi saw that the horse had a bit in its mouth, its hooves were wrapped in cloth, and its saddle bridle was fixed tightly and neatly without making a sound. Baishan shouted in a low voice in front of the horse formation: "Commanders, all the knights: surprise attack tonight, the prime minister will personally lead the army!" Turning around, he said, "Please prime minister give instructions to the whole army." All the knights: This battle is about the survival of the Qin State, and we must win a great victory. Everyone will contribute! Zhang Yi will share the honor and disgrace with the entire army!" The voice fell, and there was a low and passionate hum in the knight phalanx, and the silence was restored in an instant. "Left 10,000, follow the Prime Minister! Right 10,000, follow me!" As soon as the Baishan military order was issued, Zhang Yi waved his hand and ordered: "Move out from the left!" Lightly touched the stirrup under his feet, and the "Black Electricity" flew out soundlessly.But under the hazy moonlight, a black phalanx gushed out of the canyon like flowing water. After getting out of Hulao Mountain, Zhang Yi still walked on the Shishi Avenue on the south bank of the Dahe River, heading northeast from the vast reed grass beach.About half an hour later, Baishan's 10,000 cavalry also galloped along Shishi Avenue; after more than 30 miles, Zhang Yi's former army turned southeast, entered the valley under the bank of the chasm, and rushed into the barren fields from the ditch on the north bank of the chasm. The rear army continued to gallop northeast. The target of the Qin army's attack is Ao Cang! Ao Cang, the largest granary and material center in Wei State, is also the largest granary and warehouse in the world.The reason why the largest granary was built here is that the terrain is dangerous and the transportation is convenient.In the triangular valley at the junction of the Yellow River and Jishui River, there is a mountain called Ao.Aoshan is not tall and steep, in fact it is just a hilly mountain, but because it is isolated on the plain between two big rivers, it is dangerous and easy to defend.In addition to the two big rivers, to the west of Mount Ao there is the largest ditch dug by the State of Wei to divert the Yellow River into Daliang—the Honggou.In this way, Aoshan is surrounded by three rivers, and it is also close to Daliang. The land and official roads are smooth, and the collection and distribution of materials is extremely convenient. Since Marquis Wu of Wei, the State of Wei began to build a granary in Aoshan. After nearly a hundred years of expansion and improvement, the entire Aoshan has been built into a castle-like granary, and there are more than a dozen small temporary warehouses at the foot of the mountain.Because of its huge scale, the people of Wei State called it "Aocang City".The State of Wei set up the Aocang Order in Aocang, with the title and official position equal to that of the county guard, and 5,000 elite cavalry were stationed for a long time.Later, when the Qin State was unified, it was still expanded into the largest granary in the world, so that "Ao Cang" became the representative title of the granary in the world.This is something. For more than a month, Ao Cang has been very busy because it has to supply food and materials for the 480,000 horses and horses of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations.More than a dozen warehouses at the foot of the mountain are full of grain and goods ready to be shipped at any time. There is a din of people, torches every night, plus the normal grain delivery and payment convoys, often opening the castle day and night.Ao Cangling and all the subordinate officials and warehouse workers were so busy that they would lie down and take a nap whenever they had free time.The five thousand knights in the barracks at the foot of the mountain were on guard day and night, and after a long time, they became chaotic.At twilight today, the defenders received an order from Ao Cang: "Stop the warehouse for one night, and open the warehouse at Mao tomorrow!" It was midnight, and Zhang Yi's 10,000 cavalry arrived at the col behind Ao Cang.Strangely, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, the moon was covered by thick dark clouds, and the autumn wind blew up unexpectedly. Ao Cang, which was close at hand, was completely silent. Except for the lighting of military lamps, the mountains and the mountains were actually pitch black!When setting off, Zhang Yi had already received a report from the secret agents of the Black Ice Terrace, and knew that Ao Cang was closed today, but she still did not expect that Ao Cang was so dead. Ten commanders gathered, Zhang Yi gave orders in a low voice, and the commanders immediately returned to the team and divided into three squares of different sizes.As soon as Zhang Yi ordered the flag to be split, the three phalanxes scattered in an uproar, without shouting to kill, they rushed in three directions like lightning!The biggest road was six thousand cavalry, and they all rushed towards the Wei State military camp at the foot of the mountain.On the second road, two thousand cavalry rushed to Aoshan Castle.The third group of two thousand cavalry entered the warehouse at the foot of the mountain and the official office of Ao Cangling. The knights of the Wei Army were in a deep dream, and even the sentries at the camp gate were drowsy. They were suddenly charged and killed by the cavalry of the Qin Army like a storm. It was really terrifying and chaotic like a landslide.Many people were decapitated before they woke up, and when people screamed, most of the five thousand knights had been killed or killed.When the barracks ran and shouted, the warehouse and the government office at the foot of the mountain immediately burst into flames.In a short while, the main warehouse of the castle on Ao Mountain became a sea of ​​flames!When the fire broke out, Baishan's 10,000 cavalry rushed over from the north all over the mountains and plains, all the way to the chasm and all the way to Jishui. After half an hour, the torrent of water rushed towards the Aoshan Valley! With Zhang Yi's order, the cavalry of the Qin army who had entered Aocang immediately galloped towards the bank of the big river in the north.When they arrived at De Ferry, three thousand knights dismounted, completely destroyed the Aocang Wharf in less than half an hour, and scuttled more than a hundred grain ships moored on the shore.At this time, it was seen that Aoshan was already engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and the torrential flood was rumbling towards Aoshan!Zhang Yi and Bai Shan got together and counted the number of people, only more than 20 were slightly injured, it can be said that they returned with a complete victory. "Return to the soldiers!" Zhang Yi waved his hand, and galloped west along the Shiling Avenue on the south bank of the Dahe River. At dawn, the iron cavalry passed Mengjin, and the sound of killing was heard in the distance! Zhang Yi climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that the coalition forces of the Six Nations were entangled with Qin's black army in the wilderness. The flags of the coalition forces were chaotic, but they were not defeated.Bai Shan said loudly: "Prime Minister, there are Yanqi iron cavalry, I will kill them from behind!" Zhang Yi said: "Okay! Unveil the battle flag! The horns are ready!" With a wave of hands, twenty horned horn players have already rushed to the top of the mountain, " The army flag with the word "Qin" and a general flag with the word "white" have been lined up behind the white mountain horse, and twenty flags of thousands of commanders are also hunting in the formation. Zhang Yi split the flag in his hand, and twenty ox horns pierced through the autumn mist sharply.Bai Shan raised his long sword high: "Kill!" A horse rushed out, tens of thousands of horses galloped, and the wilderness was crushed like thunder! Just as Zhang Yi was rushing to attack Aocang, the armies of the six countries also launched a night attack on the main force of the Qin army!However, when Tian Jian led the infantry of the Three Kingdoms to shout and attack the camp of the Qin army, he found that the huge camp was actually empty.Tian Jian foolishly thought that the Qin army fled cowardly, ordered to burn down the Qin army's tents, and pursued along the valley of the camp.Before chasing for two or three miles, the cavalry of the Qin Army rushed down from the mountains on both sides of the mountains and plains. It was almost just a charge wave, and the infantry of the Three Kingdoms swarmed and fled the way they came.When Zizhi led the cavalry of the Three Kingdoms to the foothills on both sides of the Qin camp, they encountered fierce resistance from the infantry formations ambushing behind the ravines at the foothills. The arrows were like rain, and the stones were like locusts.Zilan's 2,000 chariots had already set up a large formation three miles wide in front, waiting to intercept and kill the Qin army, but they only heard the roar of killing in a few valleys, but they did not see the Qin army fleeing in a hurry.Zilan was restless and eager to make contributions, so she ordered the chariots to move forward and completely block the Qin army's camp. Under the torches all over the field, when the army chariots were rumbling forward, the fleeing coalition infantry poured out of the Qin army barracks like a tide.No matter what Zilan gave orders, the terrified infantry didn't care at all, they just kept screaming and ran for their lives, rushing Zilan's chariot into chaos.Just when Zilan was about to order the chariot to retreat to the wide field, thousands of black cavalry roared from the valley like a raging tide, charged into the chariot formation and slashed violently!In a short while, two thousand military vehicles clashed with each other, rushing towards the plain behind them.In the method of chariot warfare, each chariot has 26 infantry, one to protect the chariot, and the other to charge under the command of the chariot soldiers, forming a combat unit.Two thousand chariots are actually more than 50,000 troops.Now that the chariots are chaotically grabbing the road, the infantry under the chariots have become the sword stakes of the Qin army's cavalry, but seeing the sword light of the big split flashing in the dark night, there are tragic howls everywhere! In less than half an hour, Chu's chariots retreated for more than 20 li. Hundreds of chariots were wrecked and almost all the infantry under the chariots were killed.Zilan was so panicked that it was like a nightmare.At this moment, Zizhi led the coalition cavalry to retreat and join the Chu State chariot. Zi Lanfang felt a little at ease, but he really couldn't think of how to order the three armies? Zizhi was furious, threw Zilan aside, and ordered the army and horses to assemble in two large formations.The retreat of the chaotic army requires the courage of the commander most.The general has courage, but the defeated army can still be dealt with.Zi Zhijiu fought in Liaodong and had great experience in actual combat. Under his mighty orders, the remaining nearly 1,000 Chu chariots that could fight were re-arranged into a large formation.Zizhi formed two phalanxes with the remaining 40,000 cavalry on the left and right wings of the chariot formation, raised his sword and shouted: "Defeat is a dead end! Kill!" He took the lead in turning back.With a shout, the Chu chariot and the two-winged cavalry rushed back like a tsunami, meeting the black waves of the Qin army.Although these chariot cavalry were also defeated, and their formation was even more chaotic, they were determined to fight for the road, and they were quite different from before. At the moment when the two armies were locked in a stalemate in the early dawn and autumn mist, the shocking shouts of killing suddenly burst out from behind the coalition forces!But seeing the black banner waving, the black cavalry all over the mountains and plains came from behind.正面的秦军骑兵精神大振，一阵呐喊冲锋，便将联军战车骑兵混杂的阵形彻底冲跨。联军后退之间，白山的两万最精锐铁骑堪堪赶到，竟硬生生将溃逃的战车骑兵堵了回去。两面夹击，不到半个时辰，被包围进来的战车骑兵便全数被杀。 原野上顿时寂静下来。 子兰方才并未随同冲杀，只木呆呆的在战车上观望。于是从其他方向溃逃的楚国步兵，便渐渐在他旗下聚拢，一时竟有数千人之多。当白山的两万铁骑发动冲锋时，子兰彻底绝望，不顾一切的率领残兵逃跑了。将到大营，忽有残兵来报：信陵君与孟尝君偷袭函谷关的五万步兵，被埋伏在崤山河谷的秦军截杀，大败逃走；秦军伏兵转道淮北，要抄楚军后路，全部斩杀楚军！子兰吓得心胆俱裂，嘶声喝令：“快！立即逃回楚国！”便带着数千残兵落荒向南去了。 太阳升起的时候，坐镇总帐的苏秦已经什么都清楚了。 信陵君与孟尝君狼狈逃回，信陵君连连叹息，孟尝君则大骂司马错“贼将老狐！”苏秦却只是淡淡的一笑，竟一句话也没说。正在一片默然的时候，斥候飞马来报：子兰丢弃大军逃回楚国！春申君顿时气得跳脚大骂，骂声未落，又是斥候飞报：敖仓被秦军袭击，粮仓大部烧毁，敖山四面汪洋！ 顿时，信陵君面如死灰般跌坐在地，大帐中竟死一般的沉寂。 苏秦依旧淡淡的一笑，踱步帐外，凝望着血红的秋日，双眼一片模糊。
