The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qin Liang looked at the tall Gaoyang City and said to his deputy general: "The whole army retreats! Go to Wuyang City immediately to fight the Qi army!" - Yes! The Qi army on Wuyang City saw the Yan army retreating and waved their hands happily. The soldiers shouted: "The Yan army retreated, the Yan army retreated!" Lv Jing was very happy when he saw the Yan army gradually retreating below. He said to his deputy general Tian Ji: "Order the army to rest, and join forces with the general's righteous army to defeat the Yan army in a while!" Tian Ji bowed and said: "Yes!"

Tian Shou looked at the map and smiled: "Yan army, now it's time to fight a decisive battle with our army. Order the whole army to attack the main force of the Yan army!" - Yes! Deputy General Tian Shu said: "Brother, the main force of the Yan army is now surrounded by our army on three sides. If the Yan army wants to break through, it can only fight to the death. It can be called a pitiful army! Our northern army should fight with its back to Yishui. Our army fights with its back to Yishui. The soldiers of the three armies will fight to the death because they have no way to retreat. Then the western army will attack the rear of the main force of the Yan army from both sides!" Tian Shou nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it as you say!"

The main force of the Yan army was rushing to Wuyang City. Qin Liang looked ahead and a messenger ran over and said: "General, the Qi army has issued a letter of challenge to fight a head-on battle with our army!" Qin Liang took the letter of challenge and laughed. The deputy general on the side was puzzled and asked: "General, the Qi army issued a declaration of war to our army, why are you laughing?"

Qin Liang handed him the declaration of war and said: "Since our army has suffered many setbacks but has not lost its fighting spirit, it is a case of mourning. The art of war says that mourning will win! The northern army of Qi State actually fought a decisive battle with our army near Yishui, and the Qi army said on it that they would fight a decisive battle with our army here. The Yishui River is behind the Qi army, which means that the Qi army has no way to retreat. As long as our army attacks fiercely, once the Qi army retreats, it will definitely be blocked by the Yishui River and will be annihilated by our army! And the Qi army has no way to retreat. When the Qi army soldiers see our army rushing at them like tigers and wolves, they will definitely be timid and will only be defeated by our army!"

After reading it, the deputy general said worriedly: "Sima sir, I think it is better for us to borrow the road from Zhongshan State to return to our country. In case we are on the front If we are defeated by the Qin army in the battle, then our army will be in real danger! You know, our Yan State has not carried out military preparations for several years, so the soldiers are seriously undertrained, I am worried..."

Qin Liang interrupted: "Okay, don't say anything more. Since the Qi army wants to fight to the death with our army, then our army will fight him to the death!"

A captain on the side reminded: "Sima Sir, please don't forget the Qi army on the Gaoyang City side. If the Qi army in Gaoyang City and the main force of the Qi army attack our army from both sides, then our army will be in danger!"

After listening to the captain's words, Qin Liang pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this! General Ji Bai will lead 10,000 troops and 200 chariots to resist the Qi army in Gaoyang City. The remaining 50,000 troops, 100 chariots and reserve troops will be dispatched by me!" ——Yes!

A great battle unfolded on the banks of the Yishui River!

The Qi army fought a desperate battle, Tian Shou stood on the chariotCommanding the movement of the army, the Qi army divided the army into three armies: the center, left, and right. The center army was a long formation, and the left and right armies each had two square formations. Behind the center army was a formation composed of chariot troops and reserve troops! Tian Shou ordered the messenger on the side: "Order the left army to move forward 200 steps, mobilize 100 chariots to mix into the left army! The seventh team of the right army occupied the high ground in the north!" - Yes!

The messenger stood on the chariot and interspersed in the army formation and shouted loudly: "The left army moves forward 200 steps, the chariot troops drop 100 chariots to mix into the left army, and the seventh team of the right army occupies the high ground in the north! The whole army must be mobilized quickly without error, and those who disobey orders will be executed!" After hearing the instructions of the commander, the army slowly changed the formation under the mobilization of officers at all levels. The seventh team of the right army also occupied the high ground in the north under the leadership of the general. The left army marched 200 steps in a neat pace, and a chariot unit stopped on both wings of the left army to protect the two wings of the left army from attack. Tian Shou carefully observed the movements of the Yan army again, and saw that the Yan army was still in their favorite defensive formation. Tian Shou asked Tian Shu beside him: "Tian Shu, how can you break the Yan army's formation?"

Tian Shu looked at the Yan army's formation, looked at it for a while, turned his head and said to Tian Shou: "Brother, as far as I know, the Yan people are honest and simple, cautious in action, brave and righteous, but lack deception, so their formation is good at defense but not good at flexible attack. The way to attack it is to suppress it once it fights, hit it and quickly withdraw, and at the same time At the same time, we must attack its rear, which will make its generals confused and its soldiers afraid. At this time, if our army ambush the enemy's chariots and cavalry on the road where the enemy must retreat, we can capture its generals. But now our army is fighting with its back to the river. The best way is to attack the enemy's center fiercely, induce the two wings of the Yan army to attack our center, and then use the seven teams of the right army to quickly attack the rear of the Yan army, and the left wing troops will attack from the flank of the Yan army. The right army of Qi will stay put and hold its position, and we will surely defeat the Yan army! "

Tian Shou nodded and said: " Well said, this should be the content of "Sima Fa", right? But you must remember that you must not talk about war. Although what you just said is good, it still ignores the unpredictable changes on the battlefield. Although the Yan army is not good at flexible combat, we must also guard against the changes in the Yan army's tactics. I think that although the Yan army is now in a defensive formation, the Yan army's commander must want to defeat our army in one blow, because if the Yan army does not defeat our army here, then he will not be able to escape. Therefore, the Yan army now has only one way, which is to fight to the death with our army. So I think that at the beginning, the Yan army must have changed its formation quickly, into an offensive formation, and then used the left wing army to pin down our army's left wing, and then used the right army and the center army to fully press our army's center army, and used the reserve troops to defend their rear. As you just said, our army's right army did not attack, but mainly defended, which just fell into the Yan army's trap. Didn't you see that there was no chariot in the Yan army's formation? I think the Yan army must want to attack our army fiercely. When our army's right army was defending its position and not fighting, the Yan army's chariot troops must have attacked our army's right army from a certain direction.The army, and our right army has been defending its formation and has not been fully prepared to deal with the chariots. In order to prevent the impact of chariots in the war, the army must not form a circular formation, but if it does not form a circular formation, it will be consumed little by little by the opponent's infantry, so you must know how to adapt to the situation in battle! "After hearing this, Tian Shu hurriedly bowed and said, "I've learned!"

The Yan army's formation, Qin Liang stood on the chariot and had been observing the Qi army's formation. He said to the deputy general beside him: "Order the army to immediately change from a defensive formation to an offensive formation. The left wing army continues to maintain the Huayin formation and advance slowly to contain the left wing of the Qi army. The right wing army also maintains a defensive formation, maintaining an attack and defense posture with the central army, and advancing step by step! "The deputy general carefully asked: "Sima sir, when should our chariot troops attack?" Qin Liang smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes. Order the army to wait for half an hour, and then beat the drum to attack after half an hour. "——Yes!...

Half an hour later, the shouts of the Yan army resounded through the sky. Qin Liang took out the red proposition and waved it forward, ordering: "The central army immediately changes to an offensive formation, attack!" Kill kill ~ The Yan army quickly formed an offensive formation and gradually approached the Qi army under the leadership of several generals. Qin Liang ordered again: "Hit the catapults, and the Qi army's central army will suppress the opponent's courage!" More than a dozen catapults put the stones on, and a captain shouted loudly: "Drop! "Whoosh~~ Dozens of stone bullets were thrown into the sky, and in less than a moment they landed in the center of the Qi army, instantly smashing up a cloud of dust. The Qi soldiers who were hit were instantly smashed into meat patties, blood splattered, and a lot of broken limbs and legs appeared instantly. There was a small red patch on the ground, and even brains and internal organs could be seen! However, these bullets did not scare the courage of the Qi soldiers, nor did they suppress the morale of the Qi army. Instead, they strengthened the belief of the Qi army and the Yan army to fight to the death. Because advancing is death, retreating is also death, it is better to fight to the death, not to mention that there will be a way to survive.

Tian Shou took out the command flag and said: "Archers, release their arrows!" More than 10,000 archers collectively released their arrows and instantly fired thousands of arrows at the Yan army like rain. A Yan soldier hurriedly ordered: "All soldiers raise their shields!" The Yan army instantly raised their shields, but due to the large number of arrows, a group of Yan soldiers still fell down. Qin Liang also ordered the archers: "All soldiers, release their arrows! "With a swish, another wave of arrows rained down, but these arrows were not shot at the Yan army, but at the Qi army. The Qi army, due to their well-trained soldiers, reacted quickly when they saw the Yan army drawing their bows and arrows. The Qi army had already raised their shields at the same time as the arrows were fired, so the casualties were not great.

Tian Shou laughed and said, "The training of the Yan army is really too poor. If the army of Song was as weak as them, they would have captured Taoyi long ago!" Tian Shu on the side said, "Brother, don't take it lightly. When fighting, generals must not underestimate the enemy! How many generals in ancient times were defeated because of underestimating the enemy!" Tian Shou did not answer, but ordered the messenger on the side: "Order the central army to prepare to fight the Yan army, and the whole army listens to the order-kill!" Dongdong~~Qi armyThe drums sounded, and the Qi army quickly deployed a defensive formation. The distance between the two armies was less than 50 steps. Although the front-line soldiers of both sides were a little nervous, they were not timid. Instead, they were eager for the upcoming battle. Bang bang~~ The two armies exchanged hands!

Kill, kill~~ Soldiers from both sides pushed each other hard, trying to tear a hole in the other side's army. The Qi army stretched out long black halberds to stab the Yan army. In an instant, the heads of a row of Yan soldiers were pierced by the halberds, and some heads were cut off directly. The Yan army was not to be outdone and drew out sharp swords to stab the front row of Qi soldiers. Some Qi soldiers had a big hole in their stomachs in an instant, and some Qi soldiers had a sword stuck in their heads and fell straight to the ground, unconscious. The whole battlefield was filled with wailing and shouting, but the soldiers of both sides did not stop their weapons. Some fallen soldiers wailed in pain: "Save me! Save me!" But the comrades who had the best relationship with him did not go to help him up or save him, because this was a battlefield. Anyone who privately disrupted the army formation would be punished with the execution of the entire clan. Some fallen soldiers were not dead yet, but were trampled to death by their own people!

Finally, the Qi army had a small gap. Qin Liang immediately caught this information in the rear and quickly took out his command flag and ordered: "The whole army will attack that gap immediately and tear the Qi army's formation apart!" Kill, kill~~ The Yan army soldiers attacked the small gap of the Qi army with all their strength. The Qi army also discovered the existence of the small gap. A group of Qi soldiers came to block the gap and used their flesh and blood to withstand the Yan army's attacks again and again! A Yan army lieutenant shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to attack the Qi army. Don't be afraid. As long as we break through the Qi army's formation, we will have a way to survive! Kill!" After hearing the words of the lieutenant, the Yan army was greatly encouraged and they all attacked the Qi army's formation with all their strength. At this time, the Qi army's central army formation was gradually losing strength. Tian Shou also saw his central army in the rear, and it seemed that he could not hold on any longer, so he ordered: "Order the right wing army to split half and attack from the flank of the Yan army! Pin down the right wing army of the Yan army!" - Yes!

Dongdong~~Kill~~ Half of the soldiers on the right wing of the Qi army also began to attack the flank of the Yan army. The right wing of the Yan army had to split its troops to resist the attack of the right wing of the Qi army. In an instant, the pressure on the central army of the Qi army dropped a lot. Tian Shu also looked at the battlefield anxiously and said to Tian Shou: "Brother, do you want to fill the reserve troops quickly?" Tian Shou smiled and said: "No need for reserve troops, I have a special force that can better contain the Yan army!" Tian Shu was very confused. Where did the special force come from? He asked curiously: "Brother, where is the special force you are talking about?" Tian Shou smiled and said: "Of course it is the death row prisoners! But when I led the army to the expedition, I asked the king for a lot of death row prisoners. These 1,000 death row prisoners have been secretly detained by me somewhere. It's time to make use of their last remaining light!"
