Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 180 There is no highest, only higher

As the weapon of the state of Wei, the military soldiers of Wei have extremely high quality requirements. It is said that when Wu Qi first met the military soldiers of Wei, the selection criteria for the military soldiers of Wei were: the soldiers of Wei should be selected based on their degree, and the soldiers should wear armor with three attributes. , wielding a twelve-stone crossbow, carrying fifty arrows, placing a spear on it, carrying a crown and sword, winning three days' worth of food, and approaching a hundred miles at noon.

But the Wei State at this time can no longer be compared with the great Wei State that bullied Qi in the east, suppressed Qin in the west, and kicked Chu in the south, and nearly dominated the world. Therefore, the current selection standards for Wei soldiers have been greatly reduced compared to those at that time. .

Although the current Wei Wu soldiers are still considered to be among the best soldiers in the world, their combat power has been greatly reduced compared to before.

Yang Ming took the lead and broke out of the formation through the gap that he had just opened. Wherever the Canglong Wentian Halberd passed, the shield cracked and people flew away. The following imperial cavalry broke into the formation along the gap opened by Yang Ming. For the first time, the soldiers of Wei Dynasty experienced the ferocity of Qin's imperial guards. This was an army that could truly compete with their predecessors.

The soldiers of Wei who lost their leader found it difficult to coordinate operations for a while, and when they encountered the charge of the Imperial Guards of Qin with Yang Ming as the vanguard, they were directly cut in half. When the Imperial Guards of the Qin Army completed their assembly again, the soldiers of Wei It has been divided into two parts. On the ground, there is a wandering track. There are the corpses of war horses and the corpses of people, but no matter which corpse, the original appearance can no longer be seen.

"Wei Wuzu are indeed considered elites." Yang Ming glanced around the guards and saw that the number of soldiers had been reduced to dozens.

"Zhongcheng, with two more charges, we will be able to completely cut off the Wei soldiers. At that time, Wei Wu soldiers will still be our prey." Li Xin, who was the leader of the Xianyang Palace Guards, wiped his face. There were blood stains on his face, he said to Yang Ming.

"No, our mission is to stop the enemy and delay, not to defeat the enemy." Yang Ming refused.

"Zhong Cheng?" Li Xin asked in shock. Is this still the brave and fearless Yang Ming he knew?

Where is the guard, Fuzhong Cheng, who dared to kill the enemy's front army yesterday?

"Indeed, our biggest task is to delay time and wait for the troops on the front line to return for reinforcements. In the first round of charge, although more than a hundred Wei soldiers were killed and injured, we also suffered dozens of casualties. However, Wei Wu soldiers were The elites of Wei State, if we must compete with them now, even if we win, we will have to pay a heavy price, but then we will have to face Zhao State's side cavalry, it is not worth it, it is not worth it. "Wang Ben said from the side.

Although he enjoyed the feeling of running wildly when charging into battle, as a general, he could not just follow his own temper in a war.

The day before the imperial guards of the Qin army confronted the soldiers of Wei, and the Zhao cavalry stormed Qicheng, a Qin army of tens of thousands retreated hurriedly from a battlefield hundreds of miles away at Hangu Pass. It seemed like something terrible had happened.

It is precisely because of this that a huge flaw in the Qin army's defense line was instantly exposed, and this flaw was keenly discovered by the Chu army in the Five Kingdoms Allied Forces.

Therefore, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, did not know that he was meeting friendly forces, and directly ordered his general Xiang Yan to lead the main force of the Chu army to attack a section of the Qin army's defense line that was weakened by the deployment of troops.

After a day of hard fighting, the Chu army finally tore through the Qin army's defense line and successfully entered the pass. Then they attacked fiercely all the way, preparing to penetrate deep into the pass, and then changed direction and attacked Hangu Pass, which was heavily defended by the Qin army, from the back.

However, the wishes of the Chu army were very good, but the reality was cruel. When 50,000 Chu troops entered the mountains behind Hangu Pass, tens of thousands of Qin troops who had disappeared suddenly appeared among the mountains. Fifty thousand Chu troops were tightly besieged in the valley that stretched for dozens of miles.

"How could it be? Shouldn't this Qin army be in a hurry to stop Pang Nuan and the Zhao Wei coalition forces under Zhu Hai? How could they appear here?" Huang Xie, who is already quite old, looked at Qin who was full of good ideas in the valley. The military flag, the beard couldn't help but tremble.

Being in such a dangerous place and being intercepted by tens of thousands of Qin troops was not exactly the situation that the Zhao army was in during the Battle of Changping?

My life is at an end. Huang Xie thought desperately.

Lu Buwei, standing on the mountain peak, looked indifferently at the panicked Chu army in the valley, with a gloomy look on his stern face.

When Xianyang received the news that the Zhao Wei coalition forces bypassed the east of the river and attacked Xianyang, Lu Buwei also received the news at about the same time. However, when Xianyang convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, Lu Buwei chose to detain the messenger, and the general Keep it secret.

The Qin army on the front line is facing the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, and the Allied Forces of Zhao and Wei are attacking Xianyang in the rear. The situation is quite difficult. Once the troops and horses on the front line are mobilized to return to Xianyang, it is likely that the Five Nations Allied Forces will break through the defense line. Attack the hinterland of Guanzhong.

But if we sit back and watch the Zhao Wei coalition attack Xianyang without paying attention, who will be able to bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong in Xianyang.

For a time, Lu Buwei was so anxious that his beard and hair turned a lot white. Fortunately, as one of the smartest people at the time, Lu Buwei finally thought of a clever plan.

Among the five-nation coalition forces, the Zhao army is the most powerful, and the Chu army is the thickest. It can be said that the Zhao army is the courage of the coalition forces, and the Chu army is the confidence of the coalition forces. It may be troublesome to break the courage of the five-nation coalition forces, but I think It was going to break the confidence of the Five-Nation Alliance, but it gave Lu Buwei hope.

Therefore, Lu Buwei deliberately removed 30,000 troops from the front line, exposing the weakness of the defense line to the Chu army and Huang Xie.

After discovering this fact, the Chu army, including Huang Xie, did not think much at all and concluded that Lu Buwei hurriedly removed his troops and horses to return to Xianyang to aid Xianyang. After all, before the war started, it was already in their plan. This situation has been taken into account.

In the pre-war planning of the Five-Nation Allied Forces, the main force of the Five-Nation Allied Forces attacked the Qin Army from the front. Pang Nuan and Zhu Hai led the partial division and detoured to the east of Hedong to raid Xianyang. At that time, if the Five-Nation Allied Forces were lucky, they could directly capture it. In Xianyang, even if the luck is bad and the raid fails to be effective in the first time, it can still force the Qin army on the front line to send troops and horses back to Xianyang.

At that time, the five-nation coalition forces on the front can take the opportunity to attack the weak links in the Qin Army's defense line due to the deployment of troops and horses, and break the Qin Army's defense line from the front.

The top leaders of the Five-Nation Alliance were not very thoughtful, but Lu Buwei was also not a good person. He saw through the intentions of the Five-Nation Alliance at the first opportunity, and after deep thinking in the middle of the night, he came up with a way to break the situation.

That is to use the strategy to draw troops and horses from the front line as a force to return to Xianyang, and use this as a bluff to lure the Chu army to attack, and then lure the enemy deep into the army, and use the soldiers and horses pretending to return to Xianyang as an ambush to ambush the Chu army.

Although Lu Buwei is a businessman, he does not just pursue stability. It can be seen from the fact that he was able to do things that could make a living with rare goods. He does not lack the madness of a gambler, and he is gambling now. , he was betting that Xianyang would not be easily succeeded by the attacking Zhao Wei coalition forces.

In fact, if people like Huang Xie and Xiang Yan could analyze the situation calmly, they might not be able to see the strangeness in Lu Buwei's plan. For example, the Qin army's defense line was broken through too easily. Unfortunately, they only wanted to believe it. What they believed in, when Lu Buwei performed as they expected, they were so overwhelmed with joy that they could no longer see the possible danger.

"I hope I am right this time." Lu Buwei looked at the Chu army in the valley silently, and decisively issued the order to attack.

For a time, thousands of arrows were fired, and rolling logs and boulders rolled down. The condescending Qin army instantly caused countless casualties to the Chu army.

After a day of fierce fighting, most of the Chu army suffered casualties. Only less than a few thousand remnant soldiers fought their way out of the siege under the leadership of Xiang Yan. Tens of thousands of Chu troops had been buried in the mountains.

Huang Xie, whose beard and hair were all burnt yellow, couldn't rest. He came from the military camp of the four-nation coalition forces of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Wei. He ignored his throat that was particularly dry and sore due to the smoke and fire, and said to the general of the four-nation coalition forces in the Chinese army's tent: "The plan of Pang Nuan and General Zhu Hai has paid off. Lu Buwei has sent troops and horses from the left army of Hangu Pass to return reinforcements. Please do your best to advance and break the Qin army's left army camp."

But during Huang Xie's words, everyone from the Korean general Ji Wuye, to the Wei Sikong Wei Yong, to the Zhao general Zhao Cong, looked at Huang Xie indifferently, showing no sign of Huang Xie's proposal. Heartbeat.

"Everyone, this opportunity cannot be missed." Huang Xie shouted at the top of his lungs when everyone was indifferent.

"Jun Chunshen, the Chu army has been defeated." Wei Yong, Sikong of Wei State, said coldly and quietly.

"Lu Buwei has returned to support Xianyang. As long as you break through the Qin army's left army formation, you can go straight into Guanzhong." Huang Xie said calmly, but a bad premonition had already arisen in his heart.

"Chunshen Jun, after you break through the Qin army's left defense line, can you go straight into Xianyang?" Zhao Cong asked.

"We just accidentally fell into Lu Buwei's scheme." Huang Xie defended.

"Jun Chunshen, can you guarantee that Lu Buwei will not repeat his old tricks? Has he really returned to Xianyang to help, instead of waiting for us to fall into the trap he has already set?" Wei Yong said.

"Impossible, it's impossible for Lu Buwei not to save Xianyang." Huang Xie said angrily, but his heart felt cold. He seemed to have seen the outcome of the coalition forces.

"Is Chun Shenjun thinking the same way before?" Ji Wuye, who had never spoken, said pitifully.

As Ji Wuye spoke, Huang Xie's face instantly turned pale.

"But what about the facts? In fact, the 50,000 Chu army was almost completely wiped out. The Chu country has a great cause and may not care about the annihilation of the 50,000 army. However, our country, South Korea, is small and the people are weak, and we cannot withstand such a torment." Ji Wuye continued. road.

"You?" Huang Xie looked at the people in the big tent, his heart was completely cold. He knew that this cooperation had failed.

These people no longer had the courage to go deep into Guanzhong to pursue Lu Buwei. In the face of Lu Buwei's reinforcements, Pang Nuan and Zhu Hai had no choice but to withdraw.

Six Nations, is there still a chance? Huang Xie thought desperately.
