The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qin Dynasty Court

After reading the battle report, Ying Si said, "Everyone, General Zhang Wu has been attacking Xihe County for many days, but there has been no progress until now. This Long Jia is really like a turtle! Everyone, do you have any good ideas to defeat the enemy?"

The ministers looked at each other, after all, these civil officials were not good at fighting. Ying Si looked at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi stood up and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't have a good way to break through Xihe County. This really depends on the generals on the front line, unless there are military advisors like Qi and Wei!"

"Military advisor?"

"Yes! Qi's military advisor is Sun Bin, and Wei's military advisor is Ji Liang. Sun Bin is good at battlefield layout planning, and Ji Liang is good at conspiracy. I heard that something big happened in Wei again. Sun Bin used the strategy of reducing stoves to lure the enemy deep into the country and killed Wei's general Pang Juan! Sun Bin's strategy is unparalleled in the world! Last time, only Sun Bin could be called an excellent military advisor in the world! So far, there are very few people in the world who can conquer and fight well!"

Ying Si sighed, "If I had a Sun Bin, I would have taken back Xihe County by now! Zhang Zi, what other students does your master teach now?"

Zhang Yi replied, "There are two students, Le Yi and Tian Dan. Le Yi is from Wei and Tian Dan is from Qi. But they are still young and it is not clear how long they will stay in Guigu."

When Ying Si heard that there was no Qin person, he said with a bad face, "Zhang Zi, why are there no Qin people going?"

Zhang Yi said that he didn't know either, and complained in his heart, isn't it Shang Jun's wish that the people are as stupid as possible? When did the Qin people ever read books? Except for farming and fighting, they basically don't know anything else.

Report～～"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Wuguan! Chu has sent 150,000 troops to attack Wuguan! If we don't go to support it, Wuguan will be lost!"

After hearing this, the ministers panicked, but Ying Si did not panic. Instead, he asked calmly: "Everyone, are there any soldiers in Qin now?"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are no soldiers in the country! Unless you call back Zhang Wu's army and stop attacking Xihe County!"

"No! Qin must take back the land west of the Yellow River! It must be taken back! Zhang Zi, isn't Sima Cuo training in the Lantian camp? Doesn't he still have 50,000 soldiers?"

Zhang Yi replied: "Your Majesty, I received a military report from the front not long ago, requesting Send more troops. I have suppressed this matter just in case. Qin can't fight anymore. I don't think it's necessary to take back the Hexi area. Let's talk about it later!"

Ying Si refused: "We have already fought till now, how can we withdraw the troops! I will not withdraw the troops no matter what!"

Zhang Yi said: "If you want to do that, it's not impossible, but the food in the treasury is running out! At most, we can hold on for another month!"

"Why is there so little food in the treasury of Qin?"

"I am not in charge of collecting taxes, so I don't know."

Ying Si ordered: "Order Sima Cuo to lead 30,000 people to support Wuguan, the other 20,000 people will immediately go to support General Zhang Wu! "

"Yes!"

…………

"General, this road is too difficult to walk!"

Gongsun Xi looked at the towering and steep Mount Xiao and sighed: "No wonder the Jin army was able to defeat the Qin army here in the Battle of Xiao. With such a steep terrain, we only need to ambush tens of thousands of elite soldiers on both sides of the pass. As long as the enemy moves through here, we will be able to annihilate them!"

Dian Hu, who was standing aside, looked at the mountain and said carelessly: "General! Back then, Jin had such a steep place, no wonder Qin could not go east for hundreds of years!"

Gongsun Xi ordered someone to bring a map, and after looking at it carefully, he said: "The whole army advances quickly! Dian Hu, you lead 5,000 people as the vanguard! Remember, don't attack immediately after arriving in Zhengcheng, but attack at night!"

"Yes! ”

Night

“Centurion, why should we stay here! I also want to fight and kill the enemy, and I also want to earn military merit!”

“Okay! This is the general's order, what can we do?”

“It's a pity that we can only stay here and watch those people being killed! Centurion, do you think we can earn military merit after the war?”

“Little kid, you are dreaming! We have no reference and can't get any reward.”

“Centurion, I want to go to the battlefield!”

“Boy, there are also benefits to going to the back. You should know that you are in danger of death in the front!”

“That's better than staying in this small city!”

“This city is the food and grass of the army. If it's gone, we will all be beheaded!”

“Got it.”

“General, there are not many people on the top of the city! ”

“Flying hook!”

“Slow down!”

“General, what’s next?”

“Brothers, follow me to seize the city gate! Open the city gate immediately after seizing it!”

“Centurion! Centurion!”

“What’s wrong?” The Qin army centurion rubbed his eyelids that were about to close.

“Look! Why are there soldiers wearing red armor over the city wall! And why are they all fully armed!”

“No! Those are Wei Wuzu!”

“Quick! Ring the bell! Ring the bell!”

Dozens of arrows shot over, and the Qin soldiers were knocked down just as they were about to ring the bell. More than a dozen Wei soldiers quietly seized the city tower.

“Quick! Open the city gate! ”

Inside the house, a deputy general finished counting the grain and grass and shouted: "Come here! Bring these bamboo slips in!"

"Hmm! What's going on! Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed in and said in panic: "General! The Wei army has entered the city! They are all Wei Wu soldiers!"

"What! You run to General Zhang Wu quickly! Tell him the situation here!"

"Quick!"

Dian Hu led the way, and the sharp sword in his hand killed the Qin soldiers and horses, and his bravery was unstoppable.

"Brothers! Follow me to kill! You quickly go and burn the grain and grass!"

"Yes!”

The grain and grass storage in Zhengcheng was set on fire by the Wei army. The raging fire illuminated the entire city. The burning city could be seen from more than ten miles away.

The next morning

Gongsun Xi stood on the top of the city, watching the Qin army in the city being annihilated, and ordered: "The whole army will take a break for a while!"

"Yes!"

Gongsun Xi took the map and pointed to a point and said: "Dian Hu, you lead 10,000 people to ambush here, and I will personally lead the remaining 10,000 people to support you ten miles away!"

"Yes!"

Gongsun Yan also estimated that Gongsun Xi should have broken through Zhengcheng. Now that the soldiers have recovered, it is time to attack the Qin army. He said: "Now the Qin army has gathered its forces and has concentrated on attacking Yuanli, which just exposes the flank of the Qin army. I plan to divide the troops to break it! ”

The order said: "Zhai Zhang, you lead 20,000 people from Yinjin to cross Luoshui and then attack the flank of the Qin army to the north. I will personally lead the main force to distract the attention of the Qin army!"

Zhai Zhang asked in confusion: "General, is it that simple?"

"Yes! It's that simple!"

"Is it not necessary to do something else? For example, use some strategy."

Gongsun Yan smiled and said: "Zhai Zhang, the Qin army has gathered in one place. Now the Qin army is on the offensive. If you want to defeat the Qin army, you must attack instead of defending, and then defeat the enemy in secret. The battle is to win with the right combination and the surprise, and the army you lead is the surprise force!"

The military advisor Xu Zi nodded and said: "General Gongsun Yan is right, but is General Gongsun Yan worried about the barriers built by the Qin army in the Luoshui area? ”

Gongsun Yan was a little uncomfortable with this military advisor. After all, he thought that an army should have one commander. Why did he send another military advisor? However, Xu Zi seemed to be quite capable. He had used strategies to repel the Qin army's attacks many times in the past few days.

Gongsun Yan asked, "Does the sir have any way to break through?"

Xu Zi smiled and said, "After all, although there are many catapults in the general's army, the range is insufficient. I am usually more interested in craftsmanship. Not long ago, I and Mo's ministers jointly studied a new catapult called Thunderbolt Cart! This car can shoot flying stones weighing dozens of pounds and can shoot hundreds of steps! It just so happens that I know the design of this Thunderbolt Cart!"

"Oh! Then please ask Mr. Xu Zi to supervise the production of this thing quickly! Can ten be built within a day?"

Xu Zi smiled and said, "I have already ordered people to build 70 Thunderbolt Carts, waiting for the general to take them out when he takes the initiative to attack the Qin army! ”

Gongsun Yan said happily: "Good! Our army will win this battle!"
