Chapter 229 Sun Bin and Pang Juan, the fateful showdown
Qi was defeated and Huai lost nearly 30,000 people.
Xu Feng stayed to continue to defend Qi State, while Sun Bin and Otsuka Zai prepared to support Zhong State.
"The military advisor has defeated the Qi State this time, and now we are sending 100,000 troops from Xiapi to support the Zhong State." Otsuka Zai said.
Sun Bin smiled and said: "This time I really want to support Zhongguo, but I am not going to Zhongguo."
Otsuka Zai was surprised and said: "Don't go to Zhongguo? How can we rescue him?"
"Otsuka Zai, more than 600,000 troops have gathered around Zhongguo this time. Even if we lead an army of 100,000 people, it will not be easy to defeat the three Jins. Therefore, I am prepared to attack them and save them!" Sun Bin said.
"How to attack it and save it?"
Sun Bin immediately came to the sand table in the tent, picked up a small red flag representing the Huai Army, and planted it directly on a city on the edge of the Yellow River.
Seeing Sun Bin's actions, Otsuka Zai looked surprised: "Your Majesty said that you are a genius. I was a little skeptical at first. What I have witnessed during this period of time proves that your Majesty is right. Sure enough, you are an old man!"
"Hahaha, Otsuka Zai is not old. If Otsuka Zai hadn't held the battle for me this time, how could the victory have been so smooth this time?" Sun Bin laughed and said.
When the Huai army went out for an expedition, Sun Bin led an army of 100,000 people, not directly upstream of the Huai River to the state of Zhong, but to the state of Song. The army bypassed Shangqiu and went directly to the northwest without stopping at all.
Soon Sun Bin led the army into the territory of Wei. At this time, most of Wei's troops were in Zhong, and the remaining part was stationed in Hexi County to defend Qin, and the other part was stationed in Daliang, the capital of the country.
Sun Bin's army advanced all the way to Daliang, the capital of Wei State, and defeated six cities along the way. Daliang soon received the news of Huai State's attack from Song Dynasty. The Marquis of Wei was shocked and quickly sent someone to send a message to Pang Juan, asking him to
He returned to rescue.
At the same time, they actively prepared for war. All the cities around the capital of Daliang were fortified and cleared, and the people in the country were ordered to defend the city. On one side, the Marquis of Wei sent people to ask for help from Pang Juan, and on the other side, he sent envoys to ask for help from South Korea and Zhao.
When the two countries learned that Huai's army was approaching Wei's capital, they were both shocked and began to strengthen the defense of their respective capitals. At the same time, they also sent thousands of troops to Wei to help defend.
However, Sun Bin advanced very quickly. The pioneer Tengjia Army first defeated Qiyi, and then two small cities. In just five days, they arrived from Shangqiu to the vicinity of Daliang.
The Marquis of Wei saw that the Huai army was so sharp that he did not dare to fight with it, so he closed the city gates and waited for reinforcements. The eight thousand Tengjia army saw that Wei did not dare to fight, so they did not attack the city. Instead, they cut down trees and built camps.
, build siege equipment.
When Wei saw this situation, he became increasingly anxious. At the same time, a large number of Huai troops arrived one after another. The number of Huai troops outside the city was growing rapidly every day. Within three days, Wei's scouts discovered that there were already three waves of Huai troops.
Thirty thousand troops have arrived, and the number is still growing.
Outside the city, the Huaiguo military camp was noisy and lively. One camp after another was quickly built. The troops from Zhao and South Korea also arrived.
Seeing the two armies approaching, the Huai army immediately sent troops to attack. The reinforcements from the two countries collided directly with the Huai Tengjia army. The Tengjia army's morale was high, their armor was sharp, and everyone was vying for the lead.
The 5,000-strong army defeated the Zhao State and South Korea in succession, inflicting heavy casualties on the two reinforcements and fleeing in embarrassment. If the monarch of Wei had not seen that the situation was not good and sent troops to respond, the reinforcements of the two countries would have been swallowed up by the Huai Army.
.
Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Wei once again sent an envoy to Zhongguo to recall Pang Juan to rescue the capital.
Zhongguo, the camp of the three Jin coalition forces.
Pang Juan was looking at the camps one after another on the sand table in front of him, thinking about ways to defeat the enemy. Although Wu Qi was not as good at commanding as Pang Juan, he still blocked Pang Juan with the help of the Huai soldiers' elite and sharp armor.
Wu Qi now relies on his camps and mountains and rivers for defense. Although Pang Juan is strong, he is not willing to spend a large number of soldiers' lives on the attack.
On the sand table, the three Jin coalition forces already have the advantage, and the capital of Zhongguo has been exposed to the three Jin forces. As long as he is given some more time, Pang Juan is confident that he can break it.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the big tent, and soon two guards and a herald came hurriedly in.
"General, here is your edict!" The herald took off the bamboo tube wrapped tightly around his body and handed it to Pang Juan respectfully.
Pang Juan took the bamboo tube, first checked whether the mark on the wax seal was complete, and then opened the bamboo tube to check.
After reading the edict, Pang Juan looked very ugly.
"General, what's the matter?" the generals from Zhao and South Korea asked one after another.
"The Huai State sent troops from the Song Dynasty to attack Daliang. Your Majesty ordered us to return to rescue!" Pang Juan looked ugly.
"Now, seeing that Zhongguo is about to be defeated, retreating at this time will be a failure!" said the generals of Zhao and South Korea.
Pang Juan was also very conflicted. At the same time, he also doubted whether Huai State's attack on Daliang was intended to encircle the area and recruit reinforcements.
However, when I thought about the elite Huai army, if I really attacked Daliang with all my strength, I was afraid that Daliang would be lost. I quickly made a choice in my heart, gave up the attack on Zhongguo, and prepared to return with the army to rescue Daliang.
Without the command of Wei's army and Pang Juan, South Korea and Zhao were no match for Huai. After seeing that Wei was preparing to withdraw, they had no choice but to follow suit.
It's just that it's not easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat. Fortunately, the three Jin Dynasties took the initiative, while Zhao and South Korea occupied the land of Cai and Jiang and went on the defensive.
In order to prevent Wu Qi from following the attack, Pang Juan ordered the front and center troops to withdraw and then personally led the army to the rear.
After Wu Qi learned that the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties had withdrawn, he was overjoyed and ordered his army to pursue them. However, as soon as the army pursued them for fifty miles, they were ambushed by Pang Juan's army. The former soldiers were in a panic under the rain of arrows fired from the woods on both sides, causing heavy casualties.
Finally, he desperately broke through and escaped. After seeing that the former army was ambushed, Wu Qi immediately stopped the army and sent a large number of scouts to investigate. After making sure it was safe, he continued to advance. However, Pang Juan had already led the army to leave.
Pang Juan led the army all the way back to Wei, and soon received the second edict from the Marquis of Wei. After seeing the reinforcements from Zhao and South Korea being defeated by Huai, Pang Juan immediately sneered and said: "Siege."
I called for reinforcements, and it was just as I expected. Can you afford just one hundred thousand Wei soldiers?"
Pang Juan immediately sent the front troops to rush to Daliang, and at the same time told the generals not to rush to fight, but only to set up a camp for defense. With this camp, Huai State would not dare to attack the city with all its strength, and he would lead the Chinese army and arrive soon.
The front army threw away their baggage and rushed towards Daliang quickly. Pang Juan also followed with light troops and marched quickly, while the rear army followed with all the baggage.
