Yanping hadn't fully woken up from the previous shock, and subconsciously ordered the team to retreat. Just as he took a few steps back, most of the people had not turned around, when suddenly there was a sound of cannon, and two Zhou army cavalry attacked from the two wings behind. Out, in the middle is the infantry running at the same speed.
"General, we seem to have been ambushed again!" a general shouted.
As if? How long has it been since you still use such ambiguous words? It’s not that it seems, but you’ve been ambushed!
"Charge with all your strength to break through the encirclement and return to our army's camp!" Yanping shouted.
The Qin army changed from attacking to retreating, and its formation was in chaos. The appearance of the Zhou army made many people panic. Coupled with what Yanping had just shouted, the 50,000 Qin army was immediately defeated and each of them did not fight. Breakthrough.
In such a situation, the most important thing is to stay calm. As long as you can concentrate all your efforts on attacking one point, it is not difficult to break through.
Unfortunately, the Qin army was now in disarray. When Yanping realized this, he was helpless. He managed to gather thousands of troops, but before he could launch a charge, he was overwhelmed by a burst of thunderbolts and crossbow arrows.
"General, what should we do now?" the general asked anxiously.
Yanping was also at his wits' end. At this time, he thought of Meng Ao, who was left behind in the camp, and shouted: "Send a rescue signal quickly and ask General Meng to lead his troops to help me. Hurry!"
The general sounded the signal flare.
In fact, when the small town exploded, Meng Ao had already seen it and judged that Yanping had been tricked. At this moment, a call for help had been sent out and he had to go to the rescue.
"Anyway, Yanping has suffered a defeat. The rescue is not for Yanping, but for my tens of thousands of trapped Qin soldiers!" Meng Ao said to the soldiers before setting off: "Everyone will attack with my general. I promise to save you alive." Bring it back!”
"General Meng is mighty! General Meng is mighty..."
Meng Ao's prestige among the Qin army was still very high, especially after the defeat at Yanping.
"Set off!"
The sneak attack plan implemented by Yanping took away almost all the cavalry in the Qin army. Meng Ao came to the rescue with 60,000 people. Among them, there were only more than 3,000 cavalry, and the rest were all infantry. A journey of dozens of miles was not a joke. Just for fun.
Meng Ao looked back at the panting infantry, smiled bitterly and thought to himself, this is God's fault, especially your own fault. Who told you to take away all the cavalry!
One hundred thousand Zhou troops completed the encirclement of Yanping's headquarters. He led a group of men to rush left and right, but was blocked from breaking out time and time again.
"All the officers and soldiers of the Qin Army obey the order and charge together with General Yanping!" Several generals shouted a few times before they were nailed to death by crossbow arrows fired from nowhere.
Yan Ping's heart went cold. He could vaguely see a group of people coming towards here in the distance, but the speed was very slow. He shouted at the only remaining general: "Send the emergency signal again, order Meng Meng." Ao speed up!"
The general complained: "There are no signal bombs! Besides, even if there are, General Meng cannot arrive in a short time. You have forgotten that there are no cavalry in the camp!"
It was half cold a second ago, but now it's completely cold. Yanping is worried about death. He should have left ten thousand to twenty thousand reserve troops!
Five miles away, Ji Jie was watching the battle with a telescope in one hand, holding Sima Xueran's slender waist in the other, and said with a smile: "Ji Jian and Zhao Ling, these two boys fought well, and they were able to surround 50,000 Qin troops." Like an iron bucket, Yanping has become a headless fly. Even if he has the ability to go to heaven and earth, he still has to stay in the encirclement of me honestly today!"
Sima Xueran stretched out her white and tender little finger and pointed in the direction of Meng Ao's advance, and said: "Sooner or later, their reinforcements will arrive. By then, Ji Jian and the others will be attacked from both sides, and the situation between the enemy and us will also change accordingly. How are you going to deal with it?"
"It's a piece of cake!" Ji Jie said: "I have already ambushed several groups of artillerymen on the only way Meng Ao must pass, mainly to harass him. I just need to slow down his pace. Meng Ao is a cautious guy. When encountering It will definitely stop when it encounters obstacles!”
"Why are you so sure?"
"Who asked Yanping to keep suppressing him!" Ji Jie pointed to Yanping who was like a headless fly in the encirclement and said: "Meng Ao didn't get any credit for rescuing him, because the Qin army was defeated and all the generals became guilty ministers. , he could at most offset his merits and demerits; if he was not rescued, the blame would not fall on him, because he had already personally led his troops to the rescue, but encountered an ambush on the road, and ordered a stop in order not to continue to increase casualties. Yes! Moreover, once Yanping dies, he is 60% sure to become the commander-in-chief of the three armies again!"
Of course, if there was no ambush on the road, it would be Meng Ao's fault if he could not rescue Yanping.
Ji Jie generously bought a favor for Meng Ao.
Sima Xueran nodded and said: "So that's it, you are really cunning and scheming everywhere!"
Ji Jie burst into laughter. If these words came from his opponent, he would feel very proud, but when he said them from his own woman's mouth, it sounded a bit awkward.
As soon as Meng Ao and his men entered the territory of Dazhou, they were harassed by small groups of artillerymen one after another. They used medium-sized trebuchets mounted on carriages. They threw a few thunderbolts and then turned around and ran away!
Let's chase him. It's all in the dark, and no one knows the road well. In a short time, he will be far behind.
Meng Ao didn't take these small actions seriously at first, but as he moved forward, he realized the seriousness of the matter, especially when a cannonball exploded thirty feet away from him.
This thing doesn't have eyes. If one of them falls on my head, who am I going to ask for explanation?
"Slow down and be careful of enemy sneak attacks!" Meng Ao ordered. At this time, they were still more than ten miles away from the encirclement.
The fighting lasted until dawn, when both sides stopped and had a chance to breathe.
There were only more than 10,000 people left in the Qin army. Yanping was finally able to gather the remaining people together, but he immediately discovered another fatal problem: he thought that the sneak attack last night would be successful, so he did not let the soldiers go when they set off. Bring food and water!
While fighting Zhou Jun to the death, one must not feel hungry, but as soon as they stopped, many people could no longer stand up. The feeling of hunger and the exhaustion of exhausting their physical strength came one after another, and some people even fainted directly. .
But it happened that at this time, Zhou Jun started to have breakfast, and the smell of rice wafted over with the breeze.
"Gu Gu Gu... Gu Gu..."
The stomachs of the Qin soldiers grew louder one after another, and Yanping was no exception.
At this time, a general walked out of the Zhou army's formation, carrying a large piece of steaming beef on his long arm, and shouted to the Qin soldiers: "Those who are willing to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty will have enough wine and meat! Those who resist to the end, Swords, guns, swords and halberds are enough! Why bother with yourself? Your reinforcements have also been ambushed. It is impossible to rescue you, so surrender!"
