Chapter 72 In the fourth quarter, Qin Bujue wiped out the whole army of Wei Qigong's son An

Ten days later, Young Master Ang led 30,000 iron cavalry, and a thousand tiger cavalry guards bestowed by King Wei Hui, and marched mightily towards Hexi.Along the way, he was both proud and angry.Proudly, he finally became the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and achieved the pinnacle of his achievements of "going out of the general and into the prime minister".Looking at the magnificent scene of war horses neighing and dust covering the sun with banners and flags, and watching the scouts rushing to report to him the situation along the way, and flying horses to convey his various orders, he deeply felt the wonderful feeling of a commander—this army The authority of the middle school and the authority of the prime minister are actually another world.What made him angry was that Long Jia, an old military leader, neither reported his military intelligence nor came to greet him, which was clearly extremely arrogant.

When the soldiers arrived at Lishi Fortress, Young Master Ang thought about it for a while, and ordered the camp to rest.His central army tent was set up outside the west gate of the fortress castle, which was much more comfortable than the dark stone houses in the castle.The big tent was set up, and Young Master Ang took a good bath again before leaving the tent lightly, and dispatched the army commander to fly to the west of Hexi, and Xuan Longjia rushed to see him!If the old army leader is not ruled well, will the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces still have face in the future?

The marching Sima crossed the Dahe stone bridge, and saw the red flags of the three Hexi camps on the top of the hill in the distance.The Pegasus rushed forward, but it smelled a bloody stench in the valley!Although he was surprised, he didn't have time to think about it, and he arrived in front of the camp in a short while.After reporting the signal and checking the order, the marching Sima hurried into the camp, and just walked a few steps, he was suddenly thrown down by two soldiers, his eyes were covered with black cloth, and he was dizzy and suddenly carried away by a group of horses.

At dusk, a soldier in red flew to the Lishi Fortress in the east of the river to report to Gongzi Ang: The old general Long Jia couldn't afford the disease, and the marching Sima accidentally fell and was healing in the barracks. The old general ordered him to come quickly Report, please Generalissimo immediately send troops to join forces to defeat the Qin army. Young Master Ang sneered and said, "What do you mean by 'breaking together'? Can the old general still fight? Tell the old general that the army will arrive tomorrow. This commander has a good strategy to defeat the enemy. Old general, just recuperate."

The military officials took orders and galloped back to Hexi. Young master An sent an order to serve the meal, and after preparing the meal, he thought about a good strategy to defeat the enemy.A beautiful maid gently brought a copper tray from the back tent, and placed a tripod, a jazz, and a tray on the long table.Dingzhong is Fengze elk meat, Juezhong is top-grade Songguo rice wine, and the plate is soft and soft Daliang shortbread.Sitting in front of the case, Young Master Ang couldn't help feeling grateful for his wife's concern for him.The madam is careful, knowing that although he eats very little, he never tires of food, so she went to the palace to ask Wei Wang's permission through Hu Ji, and sent one of the most capable and most beloved maids in the mansion to accompany the army. Hou his daily necessities.The wife also tried her best to send a special envoy from Anyi every day to bring him all kinds of expensive food and drink, making him feel as if he was sleeping at home.Marching all day yesterday, my wife's special envoy actually delivered two military meals.The first time was a golden box of white jade soup from Xiangchun in Anyidong, and the second time was actually a jade-dressed snake section from Chu State!Even he was surprised, I don't know how Madam can know these delicacies that he often enjoys with King Wei?Today is Fengze Elk Meat and Song Jiuliang Cake, each of which is worth tens of gold and precious.In Daliang, Anyi, this meal costs nearly a hundred gold, which is equivalent to half a year's salary for a Chinese doctor!However, Young Master An never cared about such trivial matters. He was the prime minister of the country, and also the marshal of the country. Such trivial matters as food, clothing and daily life were arranged by his wife and maid without worrying about them.What he has to think about is the rise and fall of the country.

Carefully chewing the Fengze elk, savoring the perfect elasticity of the muscles and the unique wild fragrance, Young Master Ang knew that this was a young deer, and it was a female deer with great yin-nourishing effect.As his heart moved, he couldn't help but glanced at the maid kneeling beside him. The intoxicating fragrance from that snow-white neck mixed with the meaty fragrance of the baby doe, and he couldn't help but move his heart! This maid has always been a stunner in his mind.In the past, Madam always intentionally or unintentionally prevented him from being with her.This time, his wife gave him this little stunner openly, which really surprised him.It seems that his achievements as a general have already convinced his wife, this time he won a big victory and returned home, and his wife still doesn't know how to flatter him?Women, women, are born to be slaves to heroes and deeds.Defeating the Qin army, my son An is the hero who turned the tide.Looking ahead, the king of Wei is already in a daze, and has lost the support of the ruling and wild people. My son is from the royal family, and King Wei's concubine brother, can't he be replaced?As soon as the thought flashed, Young Master Ang's heart beat wildly, and the blood rushed to the top of his head suddenly!In an instant, he felt that the maid beside him was like dung.Yes, why can't we have a rare and exotic product like the fox princess?In the Warring States period, there was a fierce battle, and whoever had the strength would be able to ascend to the peak of power. Weren't the ancestors of the Wei family a member of the Jin family?This time the Qin army was defeated, my young master An is in control of the army and the political power, so how difficult is it to turn the world of Wei upside down?

Suddenly, Young Master Ang felt hot and hot, and knocked on the long case, "Remove, I still have important military affairs." The gorgeous maid smiled seductively, and removed the exquisite utensils from the long table. Young Master Ang stepped on the thick carpet in the luxurious tent, pacing and meditating.Suddenly, a flash in his mind, a wonderful idea came to his mind, and he immediately ordered loudly, "Pen and ink serve!" He said loudly: "Where is Sima?" A marching Sima strode in, and Young Master Ang ordered, "Send this letter to the Qin Army's camp immediately, and bring it back to Wei Yang to write back!"

The marching Sima took the sealed letter, got on his horse and galloped to Hexi. Wei Yang's 50,000 troops were still stationed in the Luoshui River Valley.In autumn, when the water is dry, the surface of the Luoshui River shrinks and the river valley becomes wider.The Qin army camped here, one can use the nearby water source, and two can quickly cross the river to advance and retreat freely.After the Longjia army was wiped out, Wei Yang ordered all the corpses of the Wei army to be moved to a hidden valley, tidy up the Sanxiong Mountain camp, set up a false flag of the Wei army, and sent a thousand cavalry to station in the camp to block all the fortresses leading to the east of the river. Dao, block the news of Lishi Fortress.

What Wei Yang was most worried about was that Young Master Ang was so frightened that he shrank back and couldn't wipe them all out.What Wei Yang didn't expect was that Young Master Ang was so slow, and arrived at Lishi Fortress ten days after Long Jia's army was wiped out.When the marching Sima who had captured Prince Ang alive and learned the details of the Wei army, Wei Yang couldn't help laughing.In recent years, he has also heard that Crown Prince Shen and Young Master Ang of the State of Wei are hailed as "famous generals". What?For ten days, Wei Yang, Che Ying, and Jing Jian repeatedly discussed and planned three sets of strategies to deal with the enemy, preparing to smash the last elite cavalry of the Wei army.

When the military lights were lit, Wei Yang received a report from a general dressed up as the Sima of the Wei army, saying that the son-in-law An's army will arrive in Hexi tomorrow!Wei Yang immediately gathered his generals in the tent of the Chinese army, and deployed the army for action tomorrow.As soon as it was over, Gongzi Ang's military envoy arrived on flying horses, and delivered a letter written by him to Wei Yang. "The two armies negotiate a peace? Will the old general Long Jia agree?" Wei Yang put the letter on the table and sneered slightly. The envoy of the Wei Army replied loudly, "Marshal General, how dare Long Jia'an refuse to obey?"

"So, the Marshal didn't inform Old General Long?" "Exactly." Wei Jun's envoy Jiu Jiu replied. Wei Yang deliberately murmured, "That's okay, the two armies negotiated a peace, which avoided a bloody battle. I'll write a letter here, and please bring it back with your envoy." "Yes. That's exactly what the Marshal of our army meant." The people of Wei had always looked down on the people of Qin, and this little Sima also had an arrogance on his face, which made the eyes of the officers and men in the camp blaze. But Wei Yang didn't seem to see it, and wrote a reply with a smile, sealed it and handed it back to the envoy. As soon as the military envoy left the tent, Wei Yang gave Che Ying a wink. Che Ying quickly walked out of the tent and ordered the scout Pegasus "Long Jiawei Camp" to tell the "Wei Jun" that the military envoy would let him go back to Hedong , captured immediately upon entering the camp.After a while, the scouts reported back, and the special envoy of the Wei Army flew straight back to Hedong, and took a special path away from Sanxiong Mountain.The soldiers in the tent couldn't help laughing loudly, feeling very strange. Wei Yang said with a smile: "Young Master Yang has a lot of wit, low self-esteem and high ambitions. He never thought that Long Jia had been wiped out by our army, but he thought that Long Jia and other veterans were neglecting him and not contacting him. So he deliberately snubbed Long Jia, let alone contacting him. The so-called peace with our army is just that Young Master Ang wants to abandon Long Jia and make great achievements alone, so that he can become a general after his class teacher Anyi. Such despicable and wretched people, How can you be loyal to the country? The Wei State has been defeated even in battle, all because of these people in power." "How should our army wipe out the Wei army? Please order from Daliang." Che Ying bowed his hands generously. Wei Yang took the case seriously, "This time our army will completely deter the Wei army. Che Ying obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 10,000 cavalry to hide in the valley on the west bank of the river. Tomorrow, after the Wei army passes through Hexi, they will immediately fly to the east of the river and seize the Lishi fortress!" " "Che Ying obeys!" "Scene monitoring order, I order you to lead five thousand cavalry to hide behind Sanxiong Mountain. Once Wei's army passes the mountain, immediately use the main road to block the Wei army's retreat." "Jing Jian complies!" "The three generals of the infantry army listened to the order, and the 20,000 infantry troops built a circular formation overnight, carefully prepared, and smashed the Wei army's iron cavalry tomorrow." "Infantry obey!" After the deployment was completed, the generals hurriedly got out of the account, and they split up nervously to prepare to go. In the hazy night, the Qin army's camp once again started to move in an orderly and secret manner. Lishi Fortress in the east of the river is full of jubilation.Young Master Ang had sent an order to the three armies to "feed and snore, and force the Qin army to retreat tomorrow!" The soldiers were surprised by this strange military order, which had never been heard before, and the three armies were in an uproar for a while.During the period under the leadership of Pang Juan, Wei Jun's cavalry was never allowed to "eat a full meal", let alone "snore and sleep", so as to avoid the knights being too clumsy and ignorant when encountering an emergency sneak attack or needing to advance quickly.This was originally the basic rule of the elite army, and the soldiers of the Wei army naturally took it for granted.Today's military order is so mischievous that it is openly "snoring and sleeping with a full meal"!How not to make the well-trained elite cavalry of Wei state feel like a dream?After eating and fighting, there were discussions everywhere in the military tents, saying that the prime minister is a star in the sky, General Wei Guofu, who fought with the prime minister, did not work hard or bleed, but still made meritorious service!The prime minister said "to force the Qin army to retreat tomorrow", then there must be a clever plan!Maybe the prime minister has already ordered Long Jia to steal all the back roads of the Qin army.How many years have the Qin army and the Wei army fought, how can the Qin people win?The more the soldiers talked, the more relieved they became, they all fell down one after another, and heavy snoring sounds filled the barracks. The commander-in-chief of the three armies, Young Master Ang, didn't sleep. He was very excited, but he always felt that there was something he couldn't do. He paced and meditated, and suddenly realized that he shouted at the tent door, "Come here!" The marching Sima hurried in, "Listen to the Marshal's orders!" "Have you ever brought our military music and dance?" Young Master Ang asked solemnly. "Back to the Marshal, there has never been any music and dance in the army, and this time I didn't bring it with me." Marching Sima cautiously. "How stupid! How can Wei's army have no music and dance if it is powerful and subdued by virtue? Tomorrow, the two armies will discuss peace, and I want both Dulwe and Wei, how can there be no music and dance? Think about it, is there any in Lishi Fortress?" "Lishi Fortress...only the long and short horns." Marching Sima lowered his head. "Is it the Horn?" "Yes. Wei Guo's military system, thousands of troops, one banner and three trumpets, and our army also has nearly a hundred horn horns." "Okay! Then immediately gather our bugle players and practice playing elegant music!" Young Master Ang was very decisive. The marching Sima was very surprised, "Marshal, why has the bugle player ever played gala music? There is not even a music score." The young master impatiently warned, "How incompetent you are! Immediately gather the trumpeters, and I will write the score of "Deer Crying" silently for you." "Yes!" Marching Sima hurried away. "Serve the pen and ink!" Young Master An ordered, and the beautiful maid brought the pen and ink paper and knelt down to grind the ink.Young Master Ang thought for a moment, then picked up Yanling's big brush, and even drew out the music score of "Xiaoya·Deer Ming" in a zigzag way, which surprised the beautiful maid who admired him like a god.He paced and admired for a while, and then went out of the tent with the music score himself. Under the personal command of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Young Master Ang, the barracks outside the Lishi Fortress resounded with ragged horn horns, and the high-spirited and shrill horn horns turned into a hypnotic lullaby.The 30,000 knights were dreaming their strange dreams amidst the intermittent music, and it was the time when the east turned pale. When the autumn frost first falls, the mountains in Hexi are vast and yellow.Liyang, Xianyang may still be sunny in autumn, but it is already cold and windy here.Wei Yang got up very early. He stepped on the autumn frost to climb the hill on the east bank of Luoshui, stared at the eastern river, and waited for the red team.He was not used to the general's attire of copper helmet and iron armor, he only wore a suit of soft armor, a white cloak over it, and a lighter cowhide helmet for scouts on his head, making his movements very light.Looking around at the quiet and empty mountains, his thoughts have already flown to Hangu Pass. Once this place is over, he must continue to march in secret. Only when the Wei army is completely driven out of Hangu Pass can the land of Hexi be regained! To his delight, a 23-year-old commander proposed to him a strategy to attack Hangu Pass by surprise, and invited 3,000 cavalry to recover Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.This commander is called Sima Cuo. He is heavy and steady.Wei Yang was very excited, and together with Che Ying, they talked with Sima Cuo for an entire hour.In the end, it was decided to send Sima Cuo to replace Jing Jian, lead five thousand cavalry to cut off the back of the Wei army, and free Jing Jian to deal with this young master with him.Wei Yang had made up his mind that if Sima Cuo could fight this battle well, Qin would have a young general. For the current Qin, this is too important. "Made in Daliang, under the banner of Wei Jun!" Marching Sima pointed at it. A large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the mountains in Hexi, and the red flag was faintly visible. Obviously, it was Gong Ziying's elite cavalry driving over.Wei Yang ordered, "Order the three armies to stand guard at the Sanxiong Mountain Camp!" On the top of the high mountain, a large black flag waved continuously, and the long horn resounded through the valley. Young Master Ang's plan was to enter the Longjia camp first, and then invite Wei Yang to negotiate a peace; if Wei Yang didn't retreat, he would be captured and killed on the spot, and then defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop!He has already deployed well, and led 10,000 cavalry into the Longjia camp, and 20,000 cavalry lined up at Taniguchi. After capturing and killing Wei Yang, the Taniguchi cavalry immediately launched a fierce attack on the Luoshui camp of the Qin army.He didn't want Long Jia's soldiers and horses to participate in the battle at all. He had already drawn up a victory report for King Wei that "30,000 cavalry defeated Qin's 100,000 troops alone", and he only waited for it to be sent out after dark.Young Master Ang is good at socializing and has a lot of scheming, he can't let Wei Yang feel that he is coming with a murderous look, for fear of scaring Wei Yang away. "Show the enemy a falsehood and paralyze the Qin army" is his careful plan. When Ye Lai thought of these eight words, he laughed excitedly for a while, feeling that he was born with great talent and strategy, and he knew the art of war without a teacher!The commander-in-chief, who was full of pride in his heart, pulled the beautiful maid over, contrary to his usual patience to tease women, he roughly stripped the beautiful maid naked in two or three strokes, pressed him under him and ravaged him for an entire hour!After venting, Young Master Ang looked at the snow-white and bruised body lying on the carpet like a puddle of ooze with disheveled hair and flushed face, and felt that it was so relaxing to play with women like a warrior!Out of generals and in phases, like a king, all women are docile slaves under his feet, and there will be groups of concubines in the future, where is there a chance to savor women carefully?It is this kind of swallowing alive that has the spirit of swallowing the world!Afterwards, the young master snored like thunder for the first time, and fell asleep for an hour.When Marching Sima woke him up, he was so confused that he forgot why he got up so early?After staring at the luxurious military tent for a while, he laughed out loud. Therefore, today, Young Master Ang put on a festive peace negotiation scene, with more than a hundred trombone players at the forefront, blowing the auspicious "Deer Crying" music among the banners, marching towards Sanxiong Mountain. The camp is coming. Just when the 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army entered the open valley and could clearly see the gate of the "Longjia Camp", suddenly there was a loud drum, all the red flags disappeared suddenly, and the entire camp miraculously turned into a black The city wall stands on the mountainside, and it is clearly the Qin army with black flags and black clothes and black armor! Wei Jun was in an uproar, and the trombone and Yale suddenly fell silent.Young Master Ang couldn't help being stunned, could it be that Long Jia surrendered to the Qin army? "Marshal! Look! There—" the marching Sima beside him shouted in surprise. But I saw a large group of bows and arrows on the hill outside the gate of the Chinese army's camp, and a man in white in the middle laughed loudly, "Young master, are you all right?" "Wei Yang?" Young Master Yang raised his whip and shouted angrily, "Wei Yang! How did you enter our camp without my commander?" Qin Jun burst out laughing together.Wei Yang teased and said with a teasing smile, "My lord, it was General Long Jia who invited me to come first." "Bold Long Jia! Come and see me!" Young Master Ang was really angry——Long Jia had ulterior motives! Qin Jun burst into laughter again, as if looking at a monkey in a cage. Wei Yang said loudly: "My son, you are the commander of the three armies, but you are so stupid? It doesn't matter if you say it clearly, the Longjia army was completely wiped out by me half a month ago!" "Ahahahaha..." Young Master Ang laughed, "Wei Yang, don't deceive Long Jia when he is sick, so it's like a fool's dream. Shuzi is clever and changeable, and he can threaten Long Jia, but he can't deceive me!" Wei Yang pointed at his whip, and said with a sneer, "My lord, let's take a look at the canyon behind you." A marching Sima galloped out earlier, and reported back in panic a moment later, "Report to the Marshal, the valley is full of corpses of our soldiers!" Young Master Ang turned pale with shock, he was so flustered that he didn't know what to do?But in his heart he was cursing Long Jia for being incompetent, how could Wei Yang, a bastard who had never led a soldier before a war, succeed?Although panicked, when he thought that the opponent in front of him was just a little bastard in the past, he immediately felt relieved, and said loudly with a dignified look: "Wei Yang, what do you want to do?" "Marshal, don't you want to ask for peace?" Wei Yang was very indifferent. Young Master Ang's spirits are lifted, although Wei Yang has defeated the old army leader Long Jia, he still respects me and still wants to negotiate a peace, let him give him a chance, so as not to defeat Xing by fighting.Thinking of this, he laughed loudly: "Wei Yang, as long as you lead your troops out of Hexi, and then cede 200 miles east of Liyang to Wei State, as punishment for your crime of attacking Longjia, I will let you go back. , don’t care about it! Do you understand?” "This is the peace negotiation terms of Young Master Ang?" Wei Yang smiled happily. "Wei Yang, this commander is thinking about the friendship he has had with you for many years, otherwise, how could he negotiate peace with you?" Young Master Ang spoke sternly. Wei Yang suddenly became gloomy, and said coldly: "My son, how often did Wei Yang have a friend like you? Do you think that recommending Wei Yang to be a small official, and Wei Yang's wine and meat with you, is considered a friend? Young master An Oh son, how do you understand the feelings and ambitions of a man? Today, Wei Yang clearly tells you, a dandy, that you are a well-known sack of wine and food, a villain who succeeds, and a Zhongshan wolf! , Narrow-minded, sick and jealous. Without you as the prime minister and marshal, would Pang Juan die? Could Long Jia die? Could Wei Guo be defeated? You are really Wei Guo's idiot, the laughing stock of the world, and you are so shameless, you are really thick-skinned." The two armies faced each other, and this humiliation was unbearable to anyone. Even the soldiers of the Wei army blushed and were greatly embarrassed.However, Young Master Ang was not angry. He had been honed in the court and officialdom and was never afraid of humiliation. King Wei Hui often teased and laughed at him viciously in front of Hu Ji, and scolded him bloody in front of the crown prince, but he was never afraid of humiliation. It's a smiley face.Without such a heart, can you be a prime minister?Can you be the Commander-in-Chief?You Wei Yang being mean to me and hurting me can only mean that you hate me and are afraid of me, what else can you do?But today Wei Yang is an enemy, so naturally he can't greet him with a smile.After coughing, he spoke in a very reserved, calm and dignified manner, "Wei Yang, don't use your tongue as a villain, do you want to negotiate a peace?" Wei Yang was secretly surprised, but he couldn't help laughing, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the son has really improved a lot. Okay! Wei Yang tells you clearly that if you want to negotiate a peace, Wei Guo must return all the land in Hexi to me, and you have to add more land." Go to the Lishi Fortress on the East River and the dangerous place on the Xiaoshan Mountain outside the Hangu Pass 600 miles away. How about it?" This time it was Young Master Ang who laughed loudly, "Wei Yang, Wei Yang, are you crazy? This commander is not Long Jia, but this commander has a hundred thousand cavalry here!" At this time, a military officer hurriedly approached Wei Yang and whispered in his ear.Wei Yang pointed at his horsewhip and said with a smile: "My lord, your soldiers are pretty good. Thirty thousand has changed to one hundred thousand. I admire it. But I want to tell you that our army has already captured Lishi Fortress. If you can’t go back, you should dismount and surrender.” Young Master Ang didn't know whether what Wei Yang said was true or false?Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard the drums of war outside the valley like thunder and the black flag waving!Tan Mafei reported: "Report to the Marshal that nearly ten thousand cavalry of the Qin Army have withdrawn from the east of the river and sealed the valley entrance!" Young Master An was confused for a moment, and only felt a buzzing sound. Venus appeared in front of his eyes, and he was at a loss. Disposal? Surrender?" But the surrounding soldiers glared at him, and no one answered. The young master couldn't help staring at Wei Yang who was halfway up the mountain, speechless. Wei Yang smiled and said, "My lord, don't you have a hundred thousand elite cavalry? Are you scared?" "You said it's only thirty thousand! How can there be one hundred thousand?" Young Master Ang blurted out, unexpectedly with confidence! "Boom!" Qin Jun on the mountain couldn't help laughing, leaning forward and back together, very happy. Wei Jun at the foot of the mountain was silent in embarrassment, and everyone's faces were blood red. "My lord," Wei Yang said loudly with a restrained smile, "Today I will only use 20,000 infantry to fight your 30,000 iron cavalry. If you win, I will never use cavalry to pursue you. If you are not victorious, withdraw as soon as possible. Hangu Pass! This is the only way, there is no other way.” Young Master Ang was stunned for a moment, not knowing if this battle could be fought, he quickly asked the generals beside him, "How? Attack him with 20,000 infantry?" The general of the cavalry said angrily: "The Qin army is too rampant! The cavalry of the Wei Dynasty are invincible in all battles. If you want a decisive battle, you have to fight with his cavalry. Attack his infantry, hmph, it will make the world laugh!" "Exactly. Fight to the death with the cavalry of the Qin army!" The generals said in unison. Seeing the confidence of the generals, Young Master Ang was very relieved, his spirit was high, but his face was serious, and he admonished in a low voice with a mysterious meaning: "A military strategist is based on victory, why fight for fame? Wei Yang never In a war, I actually let the infantry fight the cavalry, and gave me a big advantage. Don't say it is broken, just wipe him out. Otherwise, if he encircles the infantry and cavalry, what if our army is really defeated? Prepare quickly, and I will make a rule with him. gone." "Follow the general's order." The generals were not easy to argue, and they responded in unison, but they lost the chivalry just now. Young Master Ang turned back and said in a loud voice: "Wei Yang, I will follow what you said, and the cavalry will attack your infantry. However, I only have 30,000 cavalry, not 100,000, so it is considered a fair decisive battle. If you win, I will fight immediately. The King of Ming Wei returned Hexi to you. If you lose the battle, you will not be able to pursue the cavalry, and you will have to retreat and cede the land, how about that?" Wei Yang laughed again, as if looking at a monster, and waved his hand, "Okay! It's fair. My 20,000 infantry will set up an array at the foot of the Zhongjun Mountain in Longjia, and I will fight a decisive battle with your 30,000 cavalry." He turned and ordered. , "The infantry enters the battle!" A shrill horn sounded, and with the sound of marching drums, three infantry phalanxes moved out from the mountain passes on both sides and the central camp.Under the sun, you can see the Qin army in black clothes and armor, with their troops in order, their spears and swords like a shining forest.With the rhythm of war drums, the three phalanxes gathered at the foot of the mountain.Hearing the sound of the trumpets again, the phalanx suddenly started to rotate, and the flags were interspersed chaotically. It didn't take a moment for it to become a big circular formation.Although the open land in the middle of Sanxiong Mountain is called a valley, it is actually not a dead valley between two mountains, but a "Y"-shaped valley between the "pin"-shaped hills, which is connected to the surrounding mountains and plains.But now the Qin army's infantry battle formation just blocked the two front passages, and the rear exit was blocked by the cavalry led by Jing Jian Sima Cuo. The 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army had actually been compressed in the middle valley, unable to break through the infantry. If the soldiers circle the formation, only the whole army will be wiped out! When the Qin army marched out, Young Master Ang had already freely handed over the command of the attack and killing to the general of the cavalry, and he had no excuses for advancing or retreating. The general of the cavalry waved the command flag and shouted loudly: "The trumpeters return to the army!" The trumpeters who gathered to play the elegant music quickly returned to the armies.With another wave of the command flag, the 30,000 cavalry retreated three miles in an orderly manner, forming a charge echelon.This is the shortest distance cavalry needs to launch a large offensive.But Young Master Ang was puzzled and frowned, but it was inconvenient to attack.Seeing that the Qin army's position had been lined up, the cavalry general of the Wei army ordered the flag to be chopped down suddenly. The drums and trumpets on both sides of the Wei army blew loudly, and the general drew his sword and shouted "Kill!" Layers of huge red waves roared towards the black position. This is the basic method of warfare that Pang Juan formulated for the cavalry of the State of Wei. In a decisive battle on foot, the cavalry cannot come out with the whole army, but can only arrange echelon troops with the maximum capacity that can launch a lethal formation. Otherwise, forming a regiment will reduce the cavalry battle. force.Pang Juan made a military rule for this: If the enemy has more than 10,000 troops, half of them will be attacked.The three armies of the State of Wei were convinced by Pang Juan, and the cavalry general naturally followed the traditional tactics and used 10,000 cavalry to make the first wave of attack.But Young Master Ang was very annoyed when he saw it—30,000 against 20,000, they should be overwhelmed in one fell swoop, killing chickens with a sledgehammer, wouldn't they be wiped out quickly?How stupid! Just when Young Master Ang was annoyed, the red wave was already pressing towards the black circle like lightning!The black circle was as quiet as a mountain, completely silent.The red waves rushed a hundred steps away, the drums of battle in the black formation suddenly rose, and layers of strong archers suddenly stood up behind the first tall iron-gray shield wall. red cavalry.In an instant, people shouted and horses neighed, knights fell off their horses one after another, and the red wave was suddenly blocked and chaos!The Qin army's strong bows and crossbows did not stop at all, and the rain of arrows blocked the entire charge formation.When the cavalry of the Wei army were overwhelmed by the unheard-of arrow rain, a burst of sharp ox horns sounded to stop Xingyun, and the five thousand shield swordsmen of the Qin army shouted and charged out. In groups of three, they divided the cavalry in disordered formation. fight!Once the cavalry was disrupted by the infantry and fought separately, it was difficult to keep each other together, and they approached each other and hindered each other.The infantry, on the contrary, formed a group of three, and they leaped nimbly, one against the knight on horseback, one against the underground horse, and one called to the left and right for cover, which was very effective. In less than half an hour, the 10,000 cavalry of Wei Jun's first charge left thousands of corpses and retreated. In the fight with the red cavalry, the black infantry always kept a distance of one or two hundred steps from the main force of the circle. They only killed the cavalry in front of them and did not pursue them at all.Seeing that the red cavalry retreated, the black infantry immediately withdrew and stood ready.This is Wei Yang's pre-arranged strategy of "retreat with one blow and kill the enemy one by one".Wei Yang and the soldiers knew very well that the Wei army could not escape no matter what, and they had to surrender if they did not rush to kill. As long as the Qin army's infantry stood still, the Wei army would either disintegrate and surrender, or the whole army would be wiped out. There was no need to rush to attack and kill. Young Master Ang, however, was impatient and anxious, and yelled at the general of the cavalry, "Press them all up! Surround them if you are ten, attack them if you double them! Do you understand? Idiot!" Too many, can't use it, use my strength." Seeing that he dared to contradict him, Young Master Ang couldn't help being furious, "Bold! Press up! Otherwise, behead immediately!" Press it up! Kill——!" He took the lead and rushed out like a lightning bolt. With a cry of more than 20,000 cavalry, they overwhelmed like mountains and seas. There was a blast of war drums and a blast of horns in the black position, and they suddenly retracted into the trenches dug in advance, as if they suddenly disappeared from the ground miraculously.The general of the cavalry noticed something was wrong, and it was too late to rein in his horse and stop.Once the cavalry formation is launched, it will be stopped suddenly, which is why it needs at least a minimum depth.At this moment, the tide of charging is approaching the Qin army's position, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you have to sacrifice your life to charge, otherwise, if you stop and charge, you will trample on yourself and cause chaos!In an instant, the red waves submerged and covered the black position, and the sword slashed, but it was impossible to cut down a single enemy soldier.The ground of the entire trench is covered with iron-gray shields, and the horses trampled over it like thunder!The striker rushed down the mountain, and the huge red wave had completely covered the black position. At this time, when the drums and trumpets sounded together, the black infantry roared, and they jumped up from the trench with swords and shields, shouting and inserting themselves into the gaps of the cavalry to fight!The cavalry of the Wei Army have always been used to charging in the wilderness, have they ever seen such a weird way of fighting?For a time, more than 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry were densely divided and entangled.The cavalrymen of the State of Wei panicked, and if they were not paying attention, they stumbled and fell into the trench, and immediately their heads fell to the ground!In the panic, people screamed and trampled on each other, and it was a mess.However, the infantry of the Qin army came prepared, fighting in groups of twos and threes, and killed them heartily. After a while, the cavalry of the Wei army dropped by half, but they also came to their senses.The trenches of the Qin army were also stepped on by 50,000 to 60,000 horses and turned into "flat ground" with pits and pits.The pit under the horse's feet disappeared, and it became active immediately.The bloody cavalry general galloped into conflict, gathered the remaining cavalry, and started a bloody fight with the Qin army's infantry. Suddenly, a sharp whistle resounded through the valley!The infantry of the Qin army retreated together after hearing the whistle, and the thousands of infantry in the rear suddenly turned into strong bows and crossbows, and violently shot dense arrows at the cavalry gathered in the formation.At the same time, the infantry in the front all threw down their thick-backed short knives, and suddenly a big weapon with a bright white light appeared in their hands, with an iron shield in their left hand and a soldier in their right. Advance towards the Wei Army cavalry.The red cavalry was retreating under the arrow rain, and they didn't know what to do with the strange weapons coming. In a panic, the general of the cavalry saw that they had retreated to the root of the mountain, and there was no way to retreat. Iron armor! Kill——!" Hearing a clanging sound, the cavalrymen of the Wei army suddenly put down their horse-headed armored masks, and rushed towards them like a huge wave. The two armies collided with each other, and a battle on foot and horse was unheard of in the Warring States Period.The white short soldiers in the hands of the Qin army's infantry were the secret weapon of the new army against the cavalry, and the "short wooden mallet" that would shake the world in the future.After Wei Yang and Qin Xiaogong inspected the new army, they highly appreciated this infantry weapon, which is easy to obtain materials, easy to use, and extremely powerful.That capable commander Shanjia became the gavel instructor of the whole army. He trained so hard that all the infantry could use it freely.Going into battle today is truly unstoppable!Whenever the advancing infantry encountered the cavalry, they raised their shields with their left hand to resist the knights, and slammed the horse's head with a hammer with their right hand.Even Wei Jun's horse was wearing iron armor, and he was smashed to the ground with blood spattering.The knight in iron armor fell off his horse with a bang, and before he could turn over, his head was smashed by the following mallet.Wei Jun was terrified. With a cry, he returned to his horse and withdrew.However, during the charge, strong bows and crossbows had already sealed off the escape route, and all those who retreated were shot and fell, and none slipped through the net. In two hours, the 30,000 red iron cavalry of Wei State were all lying in the narrow and long valley cleanly and thoroughly. The young master's face was ashen and trembling, but he couldn't say a word. Wei Yang had already gone down the mountain, and strolled up to Young Master Ang, "Marshal, are you still convinced by our military strength?" Young Master Ang was trembling all over and was helped off the horse by a Sima, his face was pale, "Submit, subdue...Da Liang Zao, me?" At this moment, he was most afraid that Wei Yang would kill him with a sword. Wei Yang smiled slightly, "My son's life is expensive, of course I know. However, the price of expensive goods is also high, isn't it?" The young master shook his teeth loudly, "You, you, tell me, I have, rare treasures, none, countless. Here, this Chi You sword, first, give it, give it, it's made by Da Liang..." said Then he took off the crescent-shaped long sword at his waist and handed it with both hands. Wei Yang said coldly: "Marshal, look at this one, do you know him?" Young Master Ang raised his head, dumbfounded, "You, you, aren't you a merchant from Xue Guo?" Jing Jian, who was wearing a helmet and wearing armor, laughed loudly, "Young master, which young master, with you here, why worry about Wei Guo not being destroyed?" Young Master Ang, however, had a smiling face, "You're right, you're right. Don't blame the general for being negligent back then." Wei Yang said teasingly: "My son, I want to take you as a hostage to see if the King of Wei is willing to exchange Hangu Pass and Xiaoshan for you? Please, Marshal, revise the book immediately, and send Marching Sima back to Anyi as a special envoy. Our army only waits for six days, understand? After six days, if there is no news, even if I want to save you, the soldiers of the three armies will not agree." "Yes, yes, I will, revise, revise the book immediately." Young Master Ang was respectful after all. Wei Yang glanced at Young Master Yang with contempt and disgust, and walked away. On the morning of the fourth day, the special envoy of the State of Wei returned to Hexi from Anyi.He brought the letter of credence stamped with the big red seal of King Wei Hui to meet Wei Yang in the tent of the Chinese army, handed over the letter of credence, and repeatedly stated Wei Guo's willingness to hand over Hexi and Qin to stop the war. "When will we withdraw from Hangu Pass? Qin needs an exact time." Wei Yang didn't read the credentials at all. “魏王已经下令,即刻撤出函谷关与华山军营,三日后当有军报。” “好!”卫鞅下令,“车英,你率一万精锐铁骑,兼程赶赴函谷关与崤山接防。” “是!”车英立即出帐准备去了。 “司马错听令。” “末将在!” “你率领五千铁骑星夜赴华山魏营接防,魏军若有抵抗,立即全歼!” “遵命!”年轻的将领雄赳赳去了。 卫鞅笑道:“至于特使嘛,你还得在这里等几天。一俟我军在函谷关等地接防完毕,贵使与元帅即可返回魏国。”卫鞅说罢便下令军吏,“将魏国特使带下。” “且慢。”特使急迫道:“我王恳请大良造,将离石要塞归还魏国。” “归还魏国?”卫鞅冷笑,“贵使几曾听说过,战胜者的土地能归还别人?” “魏国已经将函谷关归还秦国。秦国亦当归还我离石要塞。” 卫鞅大笑,“离石要塞岂能与函谷关相比?魏国不还函谷关,我军还不是一举而下?离石要塞乃魏国欺凌秦国之要害,又是我战胜得来。魏国不服,尽可以再派名将太子申领兵来夺,我倒很想再见识一番,魏国到底有多少个酒囊饭袋?” 魏国特使低下头喘息着,“既然如此,请大良造准许丞相与我相见。” 卫鞅一摆手,“可也。带特使与饭袋元帅同宿一帐。” 旬日后,车英与司马错相继从函谷关与华山派军使飞马回报,他们的铁骑已经驻守函谷关、崤山与华山,关内所有魏军已经撤出,崤山华山魏军也已撤走,秦军已经在崤山各个关口设卡完毕。卫鞅接报,终于松了一口气。 次日清晨,卫鞅亲自带领一百名骑士,将公子卬和魏国特使走马送到大河东岸。遥见不远处的离石要塞城堡上飘扬着秦国的黑色军旗,魏国特使不禁悄悄拭泪。公子卬却是浑然不觉,带着庆幸逃生的满脸笑容拱手道:“大良造,你我既是早年挚友,又都是两国丞相上将军,日后这魏秦结好,就要多多仰仗了。” 卫鞅不禁大笑起来。公子卬茫然,“大良造,笑从何来啊?” 卫鞅走马上前,靠近低声道:“告你一个秘密。你我只是相熟,不是朋友,更非挚友。卫鞅放你回去,只是因为有你当权,对秦国有好处。记住了?秘密。” 公子卬一怔,却又立即仰天大笑,“好好好,两国结盟好!” 卫鞅忍俊不住,更是开怀大笑。 魏国特使奇怪的看着公子卬,一个大大的疑团在心中升起。
