The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Prince Yan quickly led his troops to surround Suyuan City. The defender of Suyuan City looked at the Wei army below the city and could only pray in his heart that reinforcements would arrive quickly. At this time, Gongzi Yan said:"The whole army is surrounding but not attacking.""obey."The generals said.

At this time, on the way from Mengjin to Suyuan, a Korean army of about 7,000 people was quickly heading to Suyuan City for rescue. This support force was sent by Mengjin. The reinforcements general was It was Wang Ming, the guard general of Mengjin. Wang Ming sat on the chariot and watched the army advance rapidly. Wang Ming said loudly:"The whole army is advancing rapidly. Brothers, if we are one step slower, there will be one more brother in Suyuan City." It's dangerous, everyone, move forward quickly."

After hearing the general's order, all the Korean soldiers couldn't help but speed up. Wei general Yuan Ning, who was at the front of the road that the Korean army must pass, led five thousand Wei troops to ambush on both sides of the road that the Korean army must pass. A scout hurried over and whispered. Said:"General, the Korean army is coming."When Yuan Ning heard this, he was overjoyed and said,"General Wei Yan used his troops like a god, and the Han army from Mengjin came to rescue. The whole army obeyed the order, and when the Korean army completely entered the trap, they fired arrows. The scout on the side immediately said:"Follow your orders, general.""

At this time, the Korean army was still advancing rapidly. The deputy general on the side reminded Wang Ming:"General, the road ahead is narrow and there may be an ambush. It is better to slow down. After all, the opponent is the famous general Wei Xian of Wei State. Wang

Ming did not take the lieutenant's words seriously. Instead, he said sternly:"Suyuan City is in danger of being born. If we don't rescue Suyuan City quickly, it will be destroyed. Besides, although the Wei general, Prince Yan, is good at attacking cities with great speed and plundering territory, But he only has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Suyuan City has 7,000 defenders. The art of war requires ten times the number of troops to attack the city. Now the Wei army does not have enough manpower to attack the city, so how can they divide their troops to ambush our army."

After hearing what Wang Ming said, the deputy general felt that it was reasonable and stopped trying to persuade him. As he spoke, Han Jun unknowingly entered Wei Jun's trap. Yuan Ning saw that all Han Jun had entered the ambush circle, so he stood up and said loudly:" Shoot the arrow."For a time, the Wei troops on both sides fired thousands of arrows and shot down a large number of Korean troops in an instant. The Korean troops panicked and hurriedly responded.

Wang Ming, the general of the Korean army, said loudly:"Don't panic, quickly form a formation!"Yuan Ning ordered:"Soldiers, set fire oil to burn the enemy."So the Wei troops on both sides of the road smashed jars filled with kerosene at the Korean troops, and hundreds of archers shot down the rockets. For a time, countless Korean troops on the road were burned by fire. Seeing this scene, Wang Ming, the general of the Korean army, The entire Korean army's position screamed incessantly, and they cried out in great misery,"The defeat in this battle is my fault."" Then he drew his sword and killed himself. General Yuan Ning of Wei saw that it was almost done, and then ordered the entire army to attack,"I will not kill those who surrender."A group of Wei soldiers shouted.

In less than an hour, the Wei army beheaded 5,000 Korean soldiers and captured 1,200 Korean soldiers. They also found the body of the Korean general Wang Ming. Yuan Ning said:"Cut off this head and kill all the soldiers. Following the order, he rejoined General Wei Xian." Gongzi Xian led the Wei army outside Suyuan City but did not attack. A general asked puzzledly:"General, why don't our army attack Suyuan City? If the Korean army comes to support, our army will be attacked from both sides by the Korean army. Ah."

Young Master Yin smiled and said,"Don't worry, everyone. I have already sent troops to ambush the Korean reinforcements' only way, and there will be good news soon."Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a Wei army came to join them, and a teleporter came to report and said:"General, General Yuan Ning has defeated the Korean reinforcements and killed the Korean general Wang Ming. Young Master Yan laughed and said,"Okay, hurry up and call General Yuan Ning to come see me.""

After a while, Yuan Ning came to the side of the young master and raised his hands and said:"The general uses his troops like a god. Sure enough, South Korea sent reinforcements to support Suyuan City. The enemy army has been defeated by me. Can the general attack Suyuan City now?"

Gongzi Yan said to everyone:"There is no need to attack the city. I will let the enemy army open the city gate automatically. The defender of Suyuan City is a greedy and greedy person. Our army only needs to throw away the head of the general of the Korean reinforcements. If Han Bao, the general of Suyuan City, is promised huge profits, Suyuan City will be destroyed without attack."

So Young Master Yan ordered someone to shoot the head of Wang Ming, the leader of the Korean reinforcements, into Suyuan City with a heavy crossbow, and shot the letter flying to Han Bao, the guard of Suyuan City. Han Bao, the guard of Suyuan City, saw Wang Ming, the leader of the reinforcements. After receiving Ming's head and the money promised in the flying book, he killed the county magistrate of Suyuan City without saying a word, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Wei army. In this way, the Wei soldiers captured Suyuan City without bloodshed.

In the Su Yuancheng County Magistrate's Mansion, all the generals praised Young Master Yan for his skill in using the troops and captured Su Yuan without a single blow. Young Master Yan coughed and everyone immediately fell silent. Young Master Yan said:"Everyone, we have captured Su Yuan now. Suyuan City, we will attack Mengjin next. Mengjin City is a big city with nearly 10,000 defenders. Therefore, I decided to falsely open the enemy's city gate."

Deputy General Yuan Ning asked:"General, our army How to deceive the enemy's city gate?"

Gongzi Yan then said:"We can use the Korean surrender Han Bao to help us deceive the city gate. Tomorrow morning, ask Han Bao to lead 1,000 Korean surrender troops outside Mengjin City. Nie Wu, the magistrate of Mengjin City, will definitely take back these marches. The remnant soldiers will call Han Bao at night and lead the surrendered Korean troops to open the city gate immediately.

When everyone heard this, they all exclaimed:"General's brilliant plan.""

The next morning, Nie Wu, the magistrate of Mengjin City, had long heard that Wang Ming was defeated. He suddenly felt that Suyuan City might have been captured by the Wei army. He could only pray that the few soldiers in his hands could defend Mengjin..At this moment, a soldier guarding the city reported:"Sir, there are about a thousand defeated soldiers of Suyuan City outside the city, led by Suyuan City guard Han Bao."

After Nie Wu heard this, he immediately followed the soldiers to the tower. He saw more than a thousand defeated Korean soldiers below. All of these soldiers were in tatters, their faces were covered with dust, and few of them had armor. Even the leading Korean army The general also had disheveled hair.

Nie Wu shouted to the people in the city:"Is this the chief general of Suyuan City, Han Bao? Han

Bao said loudly:"Master Nie, please open the city gate quickly and let us in. The Wei army has broken through Suyuan City and is attacking here.""

Nie Wu was very sure that it was Han Bao, the guard of Su Yuan City, so he asked someone to open the city gate. After all, Nie Wu didn't have a general in his hands now. The original Lieutenant of Mengjincheng County, Wang Ming, had died while rescuing Su Yuan. On the way to the city, Han Bao could only rely on Han Bao to defend the city. When

Han Bao saw the city gate open, he was overjoyed that Gongzi Han's plan was half successful. At night, more than a thousand Korean soldiers who had come to seek refuge in the morning quietly left the camp. These Korean soldiers walked to the city gate, killed the Korean soldiers guarding the city gate, and then opened the city gate. Han Bao stood on the top of the city and waved a torch several times.

At this time, the Wei army outside the city looked at After receiving the signal to attack the city, Prince Yan ordered:"Yuan Ning, you lead 5,000 troops to attack the city."Follow your orders." Yuan Ning led 5,000 soldiers to attack Mengjin City. Then fires broke out in Mengjin City. The Korean army retreated steadily due to the massacre of Korean surrender troops and Wei soldiers in Mengjin City. Nie Wu, the county magistrate of Mengjin City, Seeing this, he drew his sword and killed himself.

Early the next morning, Mengjin City was officially occupied by Wei. Then Gongzi Yan ordered:"Divide another five thousand troops to capture Wusui and Xingcheng, and completely cut Korea into two halves." Then he led the army to attack Guancheng of Korea and approach Xinzheng, the capital of Korea.

Korean Court

After Han Hou saw the battle report sent, he was already very angry. In just three days, the cities of Mengjin and Suyuan were also lost. Now Korea was officially cut in half by Wei.

Han Hou said to Prime Minister Han Ye:"Prime Minister, what should I do now? The Wei army has been approaching Guancheng. Can Han Shan really be able to defend it?" Han Ye said:"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic, Han Shan Shan is careful with his troops, and his army is 20,000 more than the Wei army. With 60,000 Korean troops in hand, the city will not be lost." After hearing what Han

Ye said, the Marquis of Han felt a little more at ease. He succeeded, but he always felt that there was a step missing. Guancheng

In Guancheng City, the Korean general Han Shan was leading his troops to inspect the defenses. Han Shan was really cautious in using his troops. He not only set up three lines of defense outside the city, but also brought food from a radius of hundreds of miles into the city and filled the wells. got up.

Each defensive line of defensive formations and barrier walls surrounded the entire Guancheng as tightly as an iron barrel. On the other side, the Wei army was stationed 20 miles away from Guancheng.

In the commander's tent, Young Master Yan asked:"Everyone, South Korea is now strictly guarding Guancheng and has cast Guancheng into an iron barrel. How can our army attack this city?" The deputy general

Yuan Lin on the side said that it would be better for the general to take the horse directly. Lingcheng, Malingcheng is only a few dozen miles away from Xinzheng, and it can also threaten Xinzheng after the war."

Gongzi Yan said:"General Yuan is right, but it is not enough for our army to capture Maling. The enemy only needs to divide his troops into more than 10,000 people to retake Maling City. After all, the enemy also knows that our army only has 40,000 people. The number of people who divide their forces to occupy Maling must be small, so this strategy will not work."

When everyone heardThe plan didn't work, so they all fell into thinking. At this moment, Prince Xian thought of something and said to everyone:"When I was in Anyi, General Pang Juan gave me a tips bag and asked me to open it in an emergency."

Everyone was happy when he heard it. Then Young Master Yan slowly opened the brocade bag, looked at what was written on it, patted the table and said,"This strategy will definitely capture Guancheng."
