The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

On Shaoliang City, Zhai Liang was patrolling the city wall. For more than a month, he led the Wei army to defeat the Qin army's attacks again and again.

While patrolling, he noticed a red flag appearing not far away, and then there were more and more red flags, with a big word Wei written on the red flag. Zhai Liang lay on the wall and shouted loudly:"Brothers, reinforcements are coming."

At this time, a group of soldiers on the city wall cheered because reinforcements were coming. When they saw it, they found a big word"Pang" written on the general's flag. They all cheered:"It's the general, it's the general's main flag. This time We will win the battle!"

Why didn't Pang Juan use Wei Cuo's main flag? It turned out that he and Wei Shen had already discussed it, and when the army arrived at Xihe County, they would change it to his main flag. Previously, Zhang Juan didn't have too many flags. He was on guard against confusing the Qin army, and when he arrived at Xihe County, he changed it back to his main flag. Firstly, it could improve the morale of the soldiers in Xihe County, and secondly, it could intimidate the Qin army and weaken the Qin army's soldiers.

At this time, after the general of the Qin Army also knew that the leader of the Wei Army was Pang Juan, he understood that the Shaoliang War was a trap set up by the Wei State from the beginning. He smiled bitterly, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart, because He didn't want the Qin Army soldiers to see a trace of fear in him, because if even he was like that, the Qin Army's hard-won morale would disappear.

He said to the generals:"All the troops, come and fight." Suddenly, a messenger entered the camp and said:"General Zhang, your Majesty wants to personally lead the troops to defeat the Wei army." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu almost fainted. Soldier, if this army was not eaten by Pang Juan until even the bones were left, he felt deeply powerless in his heart. The messenger said again:"General Zhang, what you mean is that he gave the order and he is responsible for the command. There is no I don’t trust General Zhang, but I just want to defeat the Wei army personally."

Zhang Yu said,"I follow your orders."

Thirty miles away from Shaoliang City, the Qin army confronted the Wei army with troops led by Qin Gong Yingshi Xi, and won. Next to Shi Xi was the Qin army's commander Zhang Xi. Qin Gong asked:"General Zhang, how should our army attack?" Zhang Xi looked at the Wei army's formation carefully and then said:"Your Majesty, I'm watching the Wei army's formation. The army is small and the two wings are large. As long as our army sends troops to contain the two wings of the Wei army, and then sends troops to attack from the rear, the Wei army will be defeated. First, send the central army to directly attack the Wei army's formation, then send the cavalry to attack the rear of the Wei army in a roundabout way, and then send the left and right armies to hold it back. Just the two wings of the Wei army"

"Well, according to what General Zhang said, the Chinese army attacks the Wei army's formation, and the left and right armies contain the two wings of the Wei army. Ying Qian, you can lead three thousand cavalry to outflank the rear of the Wei army."——obey.

Afterwards, the Qin army rushed towards the Wei army bravely. Pang Juan said with a smile:"Lieutenant Zhang Xun, you lead 6,000 people to protect the rear to deal with the Qin army's cavalry. The rear army split into two, pressed into the two wings, and gradually surrounded the Qin army and devoured it."."

The deputy general said:"General, there are only 10,000 soldiers left in our central army. Can we stop it?""Don't worry, our army will win this battle." At this time, the Qin army has 40,000 soldiers in the central army. The people rushed towards the Wei army. When they were still 600 steps away from the Wei army, fifty consecutive ballistas from the Wei army fired arrows at the Qin army. In the sky, the arrows were as dense as dark clouds. After the arrows rained down, There was a wail from the Qin army, and Qin Gong Yingshi Xi and Zhang Xi in the distance were also shocked by the rain of arrows.

On the side, Ying Quliang said:"Father, retreat, the Wei army's crossbows are too strong." Ying Shixi said:"That's enough." The Qin army still rushed forward and charged into the formation. When they reached 200 steps, Thirty thousand Wei soldiers took off their crossbows and fired thousands of arrows at the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers fell before they even touched the Wei army. They finally approached the Wei army, and the Wei army's shield formation allowed the Qin army to collide. There was no flaw in the shield formation, and halberds stretched out, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Qin soldiers. Pang Juan saw that the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards the Wei army, and ordered:"The whole army attacks." Finally, the Wei army began to attack, and the Wei soldiers He pulled out his sword and rushed towards the Qin army step by step. The sword in his hand fell down, thrust out, fell down, thrust out, harvesting the lives of the Qin army soldiers like a machine. So in order to kill one Wei army soldier, the Qin army had to sacrifice ten soldiers. When a Wei soldier fell, Pang Juan saw that the Chinese army had almost advanced, so he ordered the advance to stop, and then ordered the Wei troops on both wings to start counterattack and surround the Qin army.

At the rear of the Wei army, Ying Qian had led his cavalry around to the rear of the Wei army. Suddenly he found a Wei army in front of him blocking his way, so he ordered:"Charge up and break through the Wei soldiers' phalanx." Three thousand cavalry rushed towards the Wei army's formation. , when they first came into contact, the Wei army changed their formation and used the halberd tip to catch the cavalry's horses' legs. All of a sudden, more than a hundred cavalry fell off their horses. The remaining cavalry were also defeated one by one by the Wei army, and Ying Qian could only retreat to the main formation with the remaining hundreds of cavalry.

At this time, the Qin army was retreating steadily under the full attack of the Wei army on both wings. The Qin army took the main formation. The Qin army general said anxiously:"Your Majesty, retreat. If you don't retreat, it will be too late."

Qin Gong looked at the battlefield and said."Our army has not yet been defeated, and the rear army is pressing forward." Pang Juan stood on the chariot and looked at the battle situation on the battlefield. Lieutenant General Li Xun came over and said,"General, the enemy cavalry was defeated by our army, and the Qin army's rear army was pressing down." Join our central army." Pang Juan watched the Qin army's rear army gradually press on his own central army, silently counting one, two... and said:"Order the chariot troops to attack from the left and right flanks of the enemy army."

Just before the Qin army. While struggling to attack the central army of the Wei army, suddenly the two wings were covered with dust, and hundreds of chariots rushed towards them. After looking at it, the commander of the Qin army shouted loudly:"Mingjin withdraws the troops." At this time, the chariots had already rushed into the Qin army and began to ruthlessly The Qin army finally reaped the lives of the Qin soldiers. With clang clang, the Qin army finally heard the order to retreat and retreated quickly. The Qin army was defeated. However, Zhang Yu retreated decisively just before the Wei army's chariots had set up a strangulation formation..

Pang Juan saw the Qin army leading the troops to escape from the southwest. Pang Juan also thought highly of the Qin army commander, who could seize the time to retreat. Unfortunately, Pang Juan said:"Gongsun Yue, you are bringing five thousand soldiers with you." The cavalry chased the Qin army"——obey. After the Qin army was defeated in Yuanli City

, the Qin army's general Che led his troops to Yuanli City. Zhang Yu asked:"How many casualties did our army have in this battle?" Zhou Changguo on the side said:"General, our army suffered no less than eight casualties in this battle. Ten thousand." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu said that although he was prepared for the worst, he did not expect so many people."How many people are left in our army?" Zhang Yu said.

"There are only about 30,000 people left." Zhou Changguo replied. Ying Qian on the side said:"General, we have not been defeated yet. There are still 20,000 people in Luoyin. If our army retreats to Chongquan City, it will form a cornering force."

Zhang Xi said:"Maybe Luoyin and Chongquan have been lost now."Ying Qian fell into deep thought after hearing this, and Zhang Xi said:"Luoyin City must be lost. Send a scout to check the movements of the Wei army in Linjin and Chongquan City. If Chongquan City is not lost, go to Chongquan and defend it with Luo River. Wei Jun"——obey.

On Luoyin City, the Wei army put the flag on the tower, and a black Qin flag was thrown down from the city wall. Wei Shen said to Long Jia:"General Long Jia, you led the army to regain the lost territory, and deliberately left the barrier to Qin Army""The general will obey his orders. Then he said to Gongsun Cuo:"General Gongsun, you lead a new army of 5,000 people wearing Qin army clothes to cross Luoshui and occupy Chongquan. The Qin flag will continue to be hung on Chongquan City. I will lead 15,000 people to ambush Here, Qin also knew how powerless it was after being ambushed.""The general will obey his orders."

On Chongquan City

, guard Wang Xu was patrolling the city. He had a very important responsibility. Once the Qin army was defeated, he could defend the city in Yiluoshui.

Suddenly a group of 5,000 Qin soldiers appeared under the city. He asked cautiously :"Who's down there? A Qin soldier under the city said:"General, we are here to help the general defend on the orders of General Zhang, the leader of the army."

After hearing this, Wang Xu said:"Is there any general order?" The Wei soldier took out a military talisman and said,"Here is the military talisman.""Wang Xu carefully looked at the result on the city and said to the soldiers:"Hurry up and open the city gate."——obey.

When the city gate opened, Wang Xu personally greeted the army at the bottom of the city. Wang Xu said with a smile:"Thank you for coming.……"Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Cuo, who was dressed as a Qin soldier, pulled out his sword and stabbed Wang Xu to death, saying loudly:"Seize the city."

Gongsun Cuo took the lead and killed several Qin soldiers. By this time, the Qin soldiers already knew this. It was Wei Bing, but it was too late to close the city gate. In less than half an hour, Chongquan City became Wei's. At this time, Chongquan City was like a beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for Zhang Yu's army to come in.

In Yuanli City, Zhang Yu also received a letter from the scout. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone:"Chongquan has not been lost, and Long Jia is leading the army to regain the lost territory. Tomorrow morning, the entire army will retreat to Chongquan City."——obey.

In a certain camp, Duke Qin was heartbroken and said to Ying Quliang:"Quliang, our Qin State was defeated in this battle. There are only 30,000 soldiers left in the army of 200,000. Our Ying Shixi is the sinner of Qin State." , I'm sorry to Ying's ancestors"

"Father, don’t blame yourself. This war is all because of the Wei State’s trick to confuse us. I guess this war is a trick that Wei State set on us. Now we have to trust General Zhang and hope that he can protect Qin’s territory. , to prevent Wei from attacking Yueyang, the capital of Qin. Ying Quliang said.

After hearing this, Duke Qin said to him:"Quliang, father, I may not be able to realize my wish to regain the land west of Hexi. I hope you can help me fulfill this wish.""----father-in-law.
