Chapter 665 Who makes whoever dumplings
Before dawn, the Yum Army came out of the secret path, and the Qin army, who was still sleeping, was caught off guard and could not organize effective defense at all.
After gaining a foothold, the Yum Army rushed straight to the east city wall. Although the Qin army stubbornly blocked the Yum Army, the Qi army outside the city built hundreds of ladders, attached the ants to the city from the bottom of the city, and launched a fierce attack on the top of the city.
The Qin army on the East City Wall was attacked from both sides, and lost sight of each other, and finally disappeared under the internal and external attacks of the Qi army.
Seeing that the gate had been opened, the Qin generals in the city knew that their situation was hopeless, so they had to lead their troops out of the west gate and join forces with the troops stationed outside the city, and no longer retreated. They just strengthened the camp all day long, set up a horse, and put on a stance of being strictly guarded.
When the fiery red sun hangs high in the sky and the last remaining enemies in the city are cleared, the Qi soldiers shouted passionately on the top of the city to celebrate the Hulao Pass that had been buried for several months, and once again returned to their own hands.
It is said that "people are in good spirits when they are happy." Yu Sheng Gong, who has been lying in sick for a long time, was dressed neatly for the first time and rode a horse into the city through the middle gate, shattering the recent rumors about his health. Seeing that the old marshal who was admired by everyone was in good spirits, the officers and soldiers were even more excited, singing and dancing happily, and temporarily forgot the unfinished war... They firmly believed that as long as this old man was there, Da Qi would not be defeated!
Will you really not lose?
Zhao Wujiu ordered 100,000 troops to enter the city to defend against the enemy's attack from the west. Nearly 400,000 elite troops, including the Yumeng Army, rely on Hulao Pass to set up camps in the east of the city along the mountain. He built a camp nearly ten miles wide, went deep into the deer fort, set up arrow towers, and waited for Qin Lei's army to face high battles.
Wait and wait. Before the Qi army in Hulao Pass could wait for King Wucheng who was thinking about day and night, he found that he was surrounded by Wuzhilongwu Army Gate, who was resting in Guandu camp...
Looking at the Qin army battle flag outside the camp, Wu Zhilong's calves twitched, and he was extremely surprised. Of course, he already knew the situation in the direction of Hulao Pass, and there was no need for a teacher to teach him. He also understood that the Qin army's road to return was broken and the food was in a hurry. In addition to trying to regain Hulao Pass, he would have to stand a standstill and request a peace talk.
In order to dispel the Qin army's delusion of "striking attacks on both sides, perhaps it can be done", his respected teacher has already personally led the main force to be stationed in Hulao Pass... The 500,000 army, three months of military rations are enough to ensure that Hulao Pass is as solid as a rock and as solid as a soup!
After careful reasoning, Wu Junmen concluded that Qin Lei’s best plan was to capture Xuchang City and then seek negotiations to withdraw the troops. Well, even if he was as generous as that Prince Yong, he would only attack Hulao Pass instead of running to Guandu camp to play wild.
Therefore, Wu Zhilong led his army back to the camp to rest, waiting for the change of the battle situation, either cutting into or blocking the battle. The magic of the tactics lies in one's heart...
But the cruel reality is in front of you. The Qin army that could never appear appeared. Judging from the lineup, it must have 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Obviously, he has become the opponent's main attack direction.
‘Is it really because I am too handsome?’ Wu Zhilong couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He is usually a very serious person, and only when he is desperate can he have absurd thoughts coming to his heart.
Although he was unwilling to do so, the enemies outside the camp had to face it. Wu Zhilong ordered the entire army to be on guard and sent an envoy to ask about the other party's intentions. Even when he arrived in such a field, he still did not believe that the Qin army would act seriously with him.
However, Qin Lei used a bloody head to destroy his last fantasy.
After the troops were assembled, Qin Lei directly issued the general attack order.
The first to speak was the Qin army cannon that made Wu Zhilong lose his might. This kind of thing called "Sky Thunder" by the Qi army seemed to be invincible. With one shot, it could burst a large hole into the village wall made of thick logs, and it also led to killing the soldiers on standby behind the wall.
As white smoke filled the sky, more than 200 long and short cannons roared and violently ravaged the wooden walls. In a short while, it was blown up and blew up the holes, and many places collapsed directly, revealing several feet of gaps. The Qi army's arrow tower and enemy tower were even shot by the Qin army's cannons. One shot collapsed, but none of them were spared... Obviously, after actual combat baptism, the Qi army's gunner's shooting skills were really superb.
The morale of the Qi army was completely suppressed. They lay on the ground in silence, begging for the purgatory moment to pass quickly, but none of them stood up to defend the enemy. Fortunately, the supervision team was all lying on the ground, and no one blamed them.
Under the cover of cannons, the Qin army engineers successfully filled the trapped horse pit, moved away the horse-rejecting piles, and cleared out several passages.
As soon as the cannon stopped, the Qin cavalry, who had been suppressing for a long time, immediately attacked. The rolling iron stream rushed towards the Qi camp from all directions. When the frightened Qi soldiers stood up, the Qin iron cavalry had rushed within ten feet, and they were all in danger. Where could they have the courage to resist?
'This is too bullying, right?' Wu Zhilong shook his head repeatedly and almost shouted out: 'Isn't it a circumvention of three que 1? Why are you twisting with the military books again?'
But seeing that the battle situation was settled, the 100,000 troops under his command were bound to be encircled and annihilated, he had no interest in killing himself. 'I want to keep this useful body and continue to serve my mentor!' With a self-comfort, Wu Zhilong opened his voice and shouted: "Brothers, hold it back!"
But he rode on a horse, and under the entourage of two thousand personal guards, with his profound military theory and the escape skills taught by his mentor, he chose a path with the least enemy in the chaos, and broke through the siege.
The officers and soldiers around were not stupid. When they saw the commander running away, they would not have the intention to resist. They put down their weapons and ran away. The officers and soldiers in the distance did not see the military gate running away, but saw their comrades throwing their helmets and abandoning their armor. They all thought the defeat was decided, so they took off their leather armor or even cotton armor and cloth armor, with only a broken blade to defend themselves, and they scattered all over the birds and beasts.
It seemed like magic, and the 100,000 army disappeared in just a quarter of an hour.
In fact, the Qin army had not had time to start a massacre... The Qin cavalry, who felt that they were not satisfied, would not forget this way. They began to pursue the defeated soldiers in the company as units.
Riding a horse to chase and kill two legs, facing one's back, without fighting spirit, and without resistance... This is almost the most comfortable thing in the world.
The pursuit lasted for a whole day and night until it could not be chased. Then they withdrew their troops and returned to Guandu camp to rest. According to the post-war data, the Qi army lost more than 60,000 people in this battle, and the whereabouts of the rest were unknown. Less than half of them were directly killed by the Qin army, which means that at least 30,000 people were exhausted and on the way to escape...
But Wu Zhilong is worthy of being a master of military strategy. He has studied the thirty-six strategies very thoroughly and can be skillfully applied to practice. He has really turned it into a possibility. He really got rid of the numerous pursuers from the layers of siege of the Qin army, escaped from heaven, and returned to Hulao Pass alone.
What about his personal guards? The answer is that they have all been killed... Prince Yong, who had suffered a lot of losses, led the Longxiang cavalry to block him on the road leading to Hulao Pass and avenge the sword.
Unexpectedly, Wu Junmen once again used the gecko to break his tail and left his subordinates to escape alone. Qin Li led his army to pursue him relentlessly, but Wu Junmen should not have died, so he finally let him escape back to the Hulao Pass camp.
Looking at Wu Zhilong, who was covered in sweat and dirty, Zhao Wujiu was shocked. He sat on the handsome chair and murmured: "How could it be like this?" Of course, he was not concerned about his appearance, nor did he even question him why he lost the 100,000 troops silently. Because Yum Sheng Gong's heart was completely filled with a question: 'What exactly is Qin Lei going to do?'
It was a blessing that Wu Zhilong could escape back. Now that he saw that his mentor had no intention of holding him accountable, he couldn't help but secretly shouted "Good luck". He made up his mind to be a low-key person, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.
"We seem to have been trapped." After pondering for a long time, Zhao Wujiu finally said slowly: "From the current situation, it is not that we surround the Qin army, but that the Qin army surrounded us."
Wu Zhilong couldn't help but say, "The military strategy says ten times, and their troops are just equal to us. Why should we eat us? Aren't we afraid of hurting our teeth?"
Yu Shenggong nodded and said in a voice: "Experience tells me that it is impossible, military tactics tell you that it is impossible, but since I dealt with this guy Qin Yutian, I have never seen through his actions." After thinking about it, the old marshal coughed and said: "I think we look at the problem in a completely different way. Yes, that's the feeling! This person's military tactics are different and unprecedented." As he said, he looked yearning and said: "I really want to ask him for advice."
Wu Zhilong was silent, which was also his always wish, but he could not say this in front of his mentor no matter what. He could only comfort him softly: "Teacher, don't you worry. Didn't you say that the Chu State Hongjun has already started a full-scale war against Qin State? With their powerful naval army, the Chu State Army will arrive in Xuchang in a maximum of ten days. At that time, we will attack on both sides and see who will make whose dumplings and who will celebrate the New Year!"
After all, Zhao Wujiu is old and his thinking ability is not as good as before. He thought about it and couldn't think of any loopholes in his arrangements. In the end, he had to blame himself for becoming more and more afraid of things as he got older. He was scared by Qin Yutian's bastard. The husband finally closed his eyes and said, "Yes, the 500,000 army is lined up and killed, and it is not possible to kill it in ten days."
But he forgot how Wu Zhilong's 100,000 army disappeared...
