General Qin

"Enemy attack!"

Harsh cries sounded from the Qin camp.

Benefiting from the harassment of mosquitoes, most of the soldiers in the battalion did not fall into a deep sleep. They were startled by the sound of the horn and the screams, and immediately woke up.

At the same time, Zhao Tuo's order "Don't disarm, don't leave the soldiers" also played a role. The soldiers of Qin didn't have to rush to find the armor when they got up.

The generals of the various ministries also rushed out of the camp when the enemy situation appeared, and began to call their subordinates and give orders.

"Spear!"

The two or five hundred master Su Jiao, who was in charge of the night watch, shouted the order.

A group of Qin soldiers with spears and long berylliums immediately ran to the fence to set up a battle.

The first batch of Yue people had rushed to the front of the Qin army's camp. The Yue people who ran at the front fell into the ditch and were pierced by the spikes inside. Amidst the wailing of the Yue people, they were so excited that they wanted to break through the fence so as to rush into the Qin camp.

"prick!"

Su Jiao ordered that long weapons such as beryllium spears were in the hands of Qin soldiers, and the spears shot out like dragons, and stabbed through the gaps between the fences. on the ground.

But more Yue people rushed forward again, they seemed to be endless, rushing out of the mountains and forests under the moonlight.

"Yue people are really capricious, they are all unbelievers!"

On the earth platform, Zhao Tuo looked around, his face was cold, and there was anger burning in his eyes.

The reason why he was angry was not just the treachery of the more angry people.

These Yue people were able to annex Xiong Qi who had taken refuge in them, and then sold them to themselves, which is enough to show their despicability. Afterwards, they bargained with themselves and even asked for fifty gold, which showed their greed even more. It is normal for such a group to be capricious.

Of course, this does not rule out that from the very beginning, these Yue people partnered with Xiong Qi to deceive themselves.

In fact, there was no such thing as selling Xiong Qi to themselves at all. They just used this excuse to lower Qin Jun's vigilance so that they could launch this night attack.

Although I don't know what the real situation is like, but fortunately Zhao Tuo has always been prepared.

So tonight, under the surprise attack of the Yue people, the Qin army did not appear to be in chaos or panic, but instead defended in an orderly manner.

"What a Yue Wang Wuyou. Since you chose to break the contract and attack at night, don't blame me."

Zhao Tuo turned to the direction of Yueren Wangcheng and whispered.

If these Yue people don't deal with it severely, I'm afraid they still don't know who is the boss in this world.

At this time, as the soldiers of the Qin army came out of the tents to defend and resist without panic, the night attack of the Yue people suffered a huge setback. Thousands of Yue people died on the entire battlefield, but few of them were able to break through the fence. Go to the camp of the Qin army.

"The Qin people are so prepared? How come they weren't deceived! Damn, these Qin people are so smart!"

Zou Wuzhai, the commander of the Yue people, stood on a small slope tens of meters away from the Qin army camp, his face full of anger.

Zou Pi on the side said: "Let's set fire to it? Attack and set fire at night, and burn down his camp, maybe it will be a meritorious service."

"Shut up!"

Zou Wuzhai gave Zou Pi a hard look, and shouted in the night, "Big hook!"

The second Yueren warrior in front made a big hook, and immediately responded with a growl.

At this moment, he had already rushed to the front of the Qin army's camp. With a roar, the Yue warrior grabbed two Yue compatriots on the ground who were wounded by spears and were still howling, and threw them towards a fence of the Qin army.

The wooden fence was shaken by the impact of the two to three hundred catties of human body, and the soldiers of the Qin army behind them retreated involuntarily.

Taking advantage of this moment, Dagou quickly stepped forward, and directly hit the wooden fence with his body. Under the tremendous force, he made a gap in the fence here.

"good!"

Zou Wuzhai in the distance couldn't help applauding when he saw this scene.

But then, he saw the mighty big hook warrior, who was stabbed to death on the ground with more than ten spears by the Qin soldiers who had reacted.

But fortunately, as a breakthrough appeared in the fence, the Yue people behind took the opportunity to rush into the Qin camp screaming, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Qin soldiers inside.

At the same time, the Yue people behind also took the opportunity to move the fence and widen the gap, so that more Yue people could rush into the camp of the Qin people through this opening.

"The Qin people are able to resist our warriors only because of the iron objects thrown on the ground and this fence. As long as we rush into the camp, we will naturally kill them and flee."

Zou Wuzhai nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to a figure running in the moonlight in the distance and said: "See, Gou Diao can not only shoot five arrows at a time, but also hit a hundred shots, even under the moonlight, he can also shoot accurately." hit the enemy."

Zou Pi looked over, and really saw that the hunter called Gou Diao was as vigorous as a cheetah.

He rushed towards the opened gap in the Qin camp with other Yue people, drew his bow and arrow, and at the same time he jumped up, an arrow flew out, and it really hit a Qin soldier in the camp.

Seeing this scene, all the Yueren warriors screamed.

But their applause lasted only a moment.

Because immediately afterward, the crossbowmen who had already wound up in the Qin army camp gathered together, and amidst the shouts of the military officials, they all shot at the gap in the camp and the Yue people behind them.

In an instant, arrows rained down.

The Yueren warriors without armor fell down in an instant, and even the Yueren sharpshooter Gou Diao was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground.

Zou Pi watched this scene from a distance.

As a well-informed Yueman from Wudi, he was completely speechless about this Yueren's surprise attack.

It's fine if you can't use fire, after all, it has something to do with the customs of the Yue people.

As a surprise attack, if it is obvious that the opponent is on guard and cannot succeed in the sneak attack, then it is time to retreat immediately.

As a result, under Zou Wuzhai's command, the Yue people only knew to charge forward without fear of death, and fought according to the scene in front of them, wouldn't the whole army be wiped out?

Sure enough, Zou Wuzhai saw the heavy casualties of the Yue people and his blood was on fire, so he abandoned his command duties and rushed towards the Qin army's camp, howling.

Zou Pi shook his head, as if he had seen the end of the number one warrior of the Yue people.

"The people of Qin are extremely ferocious. If they are attacked this time, they will definitely retaliate after the war. This land of Yuyue can't stay any longer, so let's run away with our belongings."

...

In the camp of the Qin army.

Zhao Tuo stood on the earthen platform, watching under the moonlight, those Yue people who came to attack had suffered heavy casualties in the continuous attacks, and they were already exhausted.

Especially when a strong Yue warrior with the loudest roar rushed to the front of the village with a group of people, and was shot into a sieve by the Qin army's bow and crossbow.

The Yue people finally couldn't take it anymore, their morale collapsed completely, they left the dead bodies on the ground, and retreated into the distant mountains and forests again.

Zhao Tuo looked cold, watching the countless black shadows disappear into the mountains and forests.

There was a little more vigilance in his heart.

This time, the Qin army did not let these Yue people succeed because they had taken precautions in advance. Instead, they were able to rely on the camp to defend and killed many Yue people.

But what if Qin Jun leads the team with a simple-minded general?

He was deceived by the Yue people with tricks and lost his guard.

The soldiers were disarmed, their weapons were removed, and they encountered a large-scale attack by Yue people in the dark. Even if the entire army was not wiped out, the loss would not be known to be great.

Fortunately, this time, Qin Jun won.

Zhao Tuo ordered Meng Tian to lead his men to repair the camp and set up defenses to guard against possible attacks by the Yue people again. On the other side, Ling Shejian was in charge of rescuing the wounded and counting the dead bodies. At the same time, he began to think about the next counterattack plan.

More than half an hour later, Li Shang came over with the calculated data.

"General, our army did not have many casualties in this night attack by the Yue people. The casualties were about 700 people. As for the Yue people, since the corpses outside the camp have not yet been counted, it is estimated that the other party's casualties may reach four to five thousand. General, This is a big victory! These barbarians are here to reward us with military exploits!"

Li Shang was very excited.

Because the battle damage ratio is very small.

After all, the Qin army had 700 casualties, and excluding the wounded, only two or three hundred people died.

The number of casualties of the Yue people was more than ten times that of the Qin army.

One against ten, how strong!

Zhao Tuo was not very proud.

In his opinion, the Yue people are fierce. If it is a frontal fight with bare hands, one-on-one, the people of Qin probably cannot beat the Yue people.

Even in the mountains and forests, it is possible for a Yue person to take advantage of the terrain and defeat two Qins at once.

But if you count weapons and equipment, the Qin people with swords and halberds and armor can completely surpass the Qin enemy and double the enemy.

If the two sides line up in battle formations and engage in military struggle, two hundred Qin troops can defeat him with a thousand more people.

When it comes to this kind of fortified battle of defending the village, the Qin army has both weapons and equipment and defensive facilities.

One Qin enemy ten Yue!

It is also a matter of course.

"These Yueren are making use of their weaknesses and avoiding their strengths."

Zhao Tuo is very clear.

In this night attack, the Yue people actually gave up their own advantages and chose a tough battle that was unfavorable to them.

If it was a clever Yueren general, he would never take the initiative to attack the Qin army's camp. Instead, they should give full play to their advantages in the mountains and forests, fight guerrilla warfare with the Qin army, and look for opportunities to attack the Qin army's grain transportation team in the rear.

In this way, it was really a headache for Zhao Tuo.

Once the supply of food and grass was cut off, the Qin army was completely finished.

This is the real difficulty for Yueren.

If you want to come to the history of the Qin army's southern expedition to Baiyue, you must have a headache for these things.

But this time, it was Qin Yue's first time fighting, and neither side had much experience.

"It's a pity that you Yuyue people have no chance."

Zhao Tuo's eyes flickered coldly.

Soon, when the sky was bright, Zhao Tuo left Meng Tian to lead 5,000 people to guard the camp, to protect the Qin army's rear and supplies, and to clean up the corpses.

He himself and Shejian led 10,000 people to the Yueren King City where the road had already been explored.

Compared with the nomads in the north who had no fixed place to live and could flee away on horseback after a battle, these Yue people in the south had obvious weaknesses.

They will build many cities to live in, and even some small tribes will build stilt buildings.

As long as the Qin army has a guide and finds out where the important cities of the Yue people are, they can go all the way to their hearts.

...

"Defeated?"

Yue Wang Wuyou stood on the high platform of his palace in astonishment, and beside him stood Zou Wuyue with a bitter face.

"I heard that the Qin army had been prepared for a long time. Our Yue warriors went to attack and fell into their trap. They suffered heavy casualties. Even the most powerful warriors of our clan, Zou Wuzhai and Dagou, were killed by the Qin people. Of the 20,000 warriors that have been summoned today, only three or four thousand have returned to the royal city."

Hearing Zou Wuyue's words, Yue Wang Wuyou suddenly turned his head and stared at him with cold eyes.

"These Qin people are so cunning, even the king sent someone to attack, could they have expected it? Or is it because someone deliberately leaked this news to the Qin people in exchange for benefits."

Zou Wuyue turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, I absolutely did not disclose the news of the attack to the Qin people. If I leaked this matter, may the gods abandon it!"

Yue Wang Wuyou saw the other party swearing and swearing, his expression softened slightly.

The more they believe in ghosts and gods, they dare not joke about such things.

At this time, some Yue people ran over in panic and shouted: "My lord, those Qin troops are here! At least tens of thousands of them are coming straight to our royal city."

"What!"

"The Qin army is coming to attack the king's royal city!"

Yue Wang Wuyou yelled in horror.

Since the former unified Yue State was defeated by the Chu people, the Chu people took the opportunity to occupy the relatively rich Wu land in the north of Zhejiang.

They didn't care much about the Kuaiji area further south. Generally, as long as they surrendered to the Yue people and didn't make trouble, Chu State didn't bother to do anything to these Yue people and barbarians.

Therefore, in the past few decades, it was the first time that an army from an enemy country approached their royal city in Yuyue.

Even though Yue Wang Wuyou was an ambitious king, he still couldn't help but panic when faced with his own military defeat and the enemy army approaching the king's city.

"What should I do, or abandon the city and run away?"

At this moment, that Zou Wuyue was thinking about it.

"Don't worry, my lord, do you still remember the time when our ancestor Goujian led his troops to kill King Helu of Wu? Destroy the enemy yourself!"

Yue Wang Wuyou opened his eyes wide with excitement.

...

Half an hour later, the black Qin flag appeared outside the Yueren King City located deep in Kuaiji.

Under the command of the military officials, the heavily armed Qin soldiers began to line up outside the city.

"The royal city of the Yue people, is this the only one?"

"The city wall is really low, not as high as Chen Liu's wall."

Li Shang followed Zhao Tuo on horseback, looking at the low city not far away, he couldn't help showing disdain, comparing it with his hometown.

Zhao Tuo was also sitting on the same horse. He smiled lightly and said, "The formerly powerful Yue State has been destroyed for more than a hundred years. Although the Yue people in front of us occupy Kuaiji, they still call themselves Yuyue, but in fact they are just a group of people who have lost their culture and heritage. They're just barbarians, so naturally they won't put their heart into repairing the city walls."

"In addition, the state of Chu is protecting them in the north. For more than a hundred years, the Yue people have never encountered an enemy invasion. The city wall has not played any role, so they will not care about it. Now it is convenient for us to attack. City. Send an order to Shejian, prepare to attack the city with ants!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Tuo gave the order to attack the city.

According to the account of the Yue people captured during the night raid, in order to attack the Qin army this time, King Wuyou of Yue summoned a total of 20,000 Yue people.

According to the population and strength of Yuyue, as long as the king of Yue is given time, he can recruit another 20,000 to 30,000 Yue people.

Therefore, the Qin army must seize the time, take advantage of the fact that the Yue people have just suffered a big defeat and have no time to continue to gather troops, to take down the king city in one fell swoop and capture the king of Yue alive.

Just when Li Shang was about to convey Zhao Tuo's siege order.

Not far away, the gate of Yueren King City suddenly opened with a "squeak".

Then rows of naked Yue warriors with patterns painted all over their bodies walked out first.

Behind them are rows of warriors wearing red armor and holding weapons in their hands.

"It's Chu Jun! Sure enough, Xiong Qi colluded with these Yue people!"

When Li Shang saw the red armored soldiers, he couldn't help but screamed.

"Not from Chu."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, and his eyes were also fixed on those soldiers in red armor, although he couldn't see their faces clearly because of the distance.

But judging from the walking postures of these people, they were exactly the same as those of the Yue people, especially when Zhao Tuo saw some soldiers wearing red armor, with their arms and thighs exposed, which is also a dress that the Chu army would not have.

Li Shang nodded and said with a smile: "General, these Yue people are really stupid. They don't defend the city, and they want to come out of the city to fight our army. I really don't know what's going on in their heads."

Zhao Tuo didn't answer, but just stared at the front.

At the same time, on the low city wall of Yueren.

Yue Wang Wuyou also looked at Qin Jun in the distance.

Although the battle of the Qin army was huge, each of the Qin soldiers in black armor stood there, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, which gave him a great sense of oppression.

But Yue Wang Wuyou is still very confident.

Because the tactics he used next have been proven by history.

Back then, his ancestor Goujian, the king of Yue, defeated the Wu army with this trick, and shot and wounded the king of Wu, Helu.

"This king admits that the Qin army is very powerful, but they are from the West, and they must have never seen such a powerful move!"

"Wait a minute, I will make these Qin people stay where they are, and wait to be slaughtered by my warriors!"

"Blessed by the ancestors!"

At this time, as the Yue people left the city, the Qin army began to transform into a field formation under the command of generals such as Shejian and Heiyu.

The battle is imminent.

Suddenly, those naked Yue warriors who were at the front ran straight to the Qin army, making a gesture of charging and attacking.

But before they got close to the front of the Qin army, a terrifying scene appeared.

The Yue warriors lined up in three rows at the front raised their heads to the sky and shouted loudly.

"ha!"

Immediately afterwards, they raised the short swords in their hands and wiped their own necks.

The sky was filled with blood, and the corpses of these Yue warriors fell heavily to the ground.

"This...how did you commit suicide?"

The soldiers of the Qin army were stunned.

Before killing the enemy, kill yourself first.

Even though this Qin army followed General Zhao to fight north and south, they had never seen such an operation.

"shoot!"

Zhao Tuo suddenly yelled, and Li Shang and all the short soldiers around him saw the general give the order, and they yelled instinctively.

"shoot!"

In an instant, the crossbowmen in the front row of the Qin army immediately fired all arrows.

Arrows rained all over the sky, and those Chijiayue people who took the opportunity to rush into the Qin army after their compatriots killed themselves were just shrouded in this rain of arrows, and they fell down instantly, screaming and shouting continuously .

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin army also reacted.

Under the command of the general, the crossbowmen of the Qin army quickly retreated to the sides, and the Qin soldiers behind immediately stepped forward, stabbing the red armored soldiers to death with long beryllium and spears in their hands. Follow closely and fight with the Yueren who rushed to the front by luck.

"Hehe, do you want to imitate the psychological tactics of Goujian, King of Yue, who defeated King Helu of Wu in the past?"

Zhao Tuo smiled coldly.

As a nobleman, and he often read military books and war strategies, he was no stranger to the Wuyue struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.

King Goujian of Yue used warriors to commit suicide, frightened the Wu army, and took the opportunity to command the Yue army to rush into the Wu army's array and kill all directions, and finally won the battle.

This should be a relatively early psychological warfare in history, and it is relatively famous.

So Zhao Tuo reacted the first moment he saw those people committing suicide, and immediately gave the order to shoot.

"Using the tactics of the Spring and Autumn Period to fight our army at the end of the Warring States Period, these Yue people really abide by the tradition."

Zhao Tuo smiled. He didn't know how the Wu army's battle formation was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it would be defeated by the Yue people with this tactic.

However, the battle array of the Qin army is that the strong crossbow is in the front, and the spear is behind.

In this way, even without Zhao Tuo's roar just now, when the Yue army rushed over, they would still be shot down by the awakened crossbowmen.

At this time, the Qin pawns holding spears and swords and halberds behind them can step forward to fight, and it is absolutely impossible for the entire army to be defeated by this move.

"Times are different."

Just when Zhao Tuo was sighing, those Yue army who came out of the city to attack had been defeated.

After all, it has been almost a hundred years. Since the fall of the Yue Kingdom, these Yue people have never fought against the enemy's army on the battlefield, and they have no experience in fighting with large corps.

Even though they were wearing Chu people's armor and holding Chu people's weapons, they were by no means opponents of the Qin army. Most of them were hacked and killed in a blink of an eye, and the rest retreated.

"Seize the city gate!"

With the black-butt soldier shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Qin army rushed to the gate of the city with the fleeing Yue people, killed the Yue people guarding the gate, and successfully captured the gate of the royal city.

"These Yueren..."

Zhao Tuo shook his head helplessly. After fighting against a veteran of Xiang Yan's level, and then facing these Yue people who didn't even have a battle formation and wanted to use the tactics of the Spring and Autumn Period to fight against the enemy, Zhao Tuo really has a strong man beat The feeling of children.

The situation that followed was even more one-sided. After the city gate was captured, the Yue people's military power was even more powerless to resist, and they would disperse as soon as they were killed.

A group of Qin soldiers, led by Hei Ji, took advantage of the situation and entered the city to attack the royal city.

The other part, under the leadership of the two or five hundred lord Su Jiao, ran up the city wall, intending to kill the Yue people guarding above and completely control the royal city.

In this way, they captured two surprising figures on the city wall.

A moment later, Su Jiao led people to escort the familiar messenger Zou Wuyue, who was familiar to Zhao Tuo, and a fat middle-aged man in dirty royal clothes, out of the city, and walked towards Zhao Tuo who was sitting on the horse.

"Messenger, remember what I said yesterday."

Zhao Tuo smiled and looked at the pale Zou Wuyue.

Zou Wuyue immediately plopped and knelt on the ground, shouting, "General, please spare me, I haven't used any of the fifty gold!"

"Don't say it's unexpected!"

Zhao Tuo repeated the warning words he said yesterday, smiled, and this time turned to look at the person next to Zou Wuyue.

Seeing the gaze of General Qin, the fat man's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground knowingly, and shouted: "This king is willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!"

Hearing the sound of begging and surrendering in his ears, he looked at the alien king who kept kowtowing in front of him.

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Is the person kneeling in front of him the Yue King Wuyou who ruled this place?

He, Zhao Tuo, conquered the kingdom of Yuyue among the southern Baiyue.

"Historical Records: The Benji of Qin Shihuang": Wang Jian decided to settle down south of Jing, descended to the king of Yue, and set up Kuaiji County.

The historical event of surrendering Yuejun has been achieved!

The war is over, and the problem of Xiong Qi will be resolved tomorrow.

Another: The Yue here is not clearly recorded in the history books, so it is divided according to the region, and it is counted as Yuyue. A map of Baiyue will be posted in the follow-up comment area.

"Historical Records Wu Taibo's Family" is more challenging by the dead, and the three lines make Wu masters, call, self-proclaimed. Master Wu viewed it, because Yue defeated Wu and defeated Gusu.
