The King of Qin originally thought that the State of Yan and the State of Qi were in a stalemate on the border. Taking this opportunity, the State of Chen would send troops to attack the State of Qi. Then the Qi army would inevitably be restrained by the States of Yan and Chen, and the Qin army would have a chance to breathe. No.
I once thought that instead of increasing troops to fight together, the Chen State withdrew Chen Qi, who was fighting in the Xiang State, and returned to Pingguan and the eastern border. The Chen State's forbidden army, which was originally agreed to attack Jiaocheng and rush to Xianyang, was also sent to Marshal Chen Qi.
Under the account.
The King of Qin was angry, so he sent envoys to Chen State to meet with King Chen and ask when the 200,000 troops promised by Chen State would be dispatched. At the same time, he paid close attention to the war in Ancheng.
From Xianyang to Ancheng, 20,000 Qin troops escorted a large amount of grain and grass and marched to Ancheng. The Qin army in Ancheng also sent troops to break through the Chu army's defense at the west gate and seize the mountain pass west of Ancheng.
King Wuyou naturally received the battle report in the commander's tent, saying that the Qin army's grain and grass were about to arrive. Tens of thousands of Qin troops broke through the Chu army's defenses on the west and occupied the mountain pass called Jiudaoling in the west. It seemed that they were going to
Respond to the grain and fodder convoy.
King Wuyou called Huo Yuan, Dongfang Yi, Wang Tianyuan and others to the commander's tent, told everyone about the battle report they had received, and asked: "Generals, do you have any good strategies?"
Dongfang Yi felt guilty because the Qin army broke through the defense line. He first handed over his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, which caused the Qin army to break through our own defense. I am willing to be punished by military law!"
King Wuyou looked at Dongfang Yi and smiled and said: "The Qin army fought tooth and nail to break out. General Dongfang has tried his best. How can I blame you?"
Huo Yuan looked at King Wuyou and asked tentatively: "Did the prince specifically want to let the Qin army leave the city?"
King Wuyou said "Oh", looked at Huo Yuan, and asked with a smile: "Why does General Huo think so?"
When Huo Yuan saw King Wuyou asking this question, he knew that he was right. Seeing King Wuyou ask, Huo Yuan replied: "Reinforcements and food from Qin State must enter through the west gate. The prince also knows that.
But they did not adjust the strength of Ximen's troops. It seems that they deliberately let the Qin army think that Ximen can come and go at will. I guess the prince sent us here today just to get this batch of food and grass from the Qin army!"
King Wuyou nodded, glanced at the others, and said: "General Huo has seen my next plan. General Dongfang, I didn't deliberately put you in trouble, I just planned a war. I need to make the Qin army think that
It is because of my selfish motives that I use your army as the Qin army's intercourse, causing your army to suffer losses."
After hearing this, Dongfang Yi said clearly: "In this case, the Qin army must think that I am dissatisfied, so they will no longer try to stop me, and they can take advantage of the situation to rush in and transport grain and grass into the city?"
King Wuyou nodded, clasped his fists at Dongfang Yi, and said, "It's best that General Dongfang understands my painstaking efforts. Next, we will have to make careful plans to seize this batch of food and grass from the Qin army."
Wang Tianyuan looked at King Wuyou and said: "My lord, you said that General Zhuge is a living Zhuge, and your plan is also to defeat Zhuge!" As he said that, he raised his thumb at King Wuyou.
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Xing Yuxing, the general of the Qin army who led the army out of the city, led 30,000 Qin troops directly to the Chu army's camp, with Wang Xianquan and Chen troops on both sides to cover the camp. With a strong effort of 60,000 troops, the Qin army broke through the Chu army's defense. At this time, Xing Yuxing
He led the army to capture Jiudaoling and waited for the grain transport team from the capital of Qin to arrive.
On the morning of the next day, he saw a group of light cavalry coming from a distance, numbering three to five thousand people. The flag flying right now was the flag of Qin. Xing Yuxing guessed that it was the forward of the Qin army escorting grain and grass, so
He sent people to greet him. When the two armies met, they waited for the grain and fodder convoy behind.
Less than half an hour later, the food and fodder convoy came into view. Xing Yuxing had already seen with his own eyes the tragic situation of the people in the city starving to death due to lack of food. The Qin army only brought enough food and grass to sustain one hundred thousand troops during this process.
The army had less than ten days to spend, so they naturally did not dare to distribute it to the people. The people of Ancheng thought that the Qin army would bring a large amount of food to help, but there was no food. So they had to endure hunger to help the Qin army.
The people guarding the city became noisy, and some even stormed the military camp to snatch the food from the army. Yan Tai ordered the soldiers to kill on the spot any people who rushed into the military camp. Every day in Ancheng, people died of starvation.
, or be killed by the Qin army.
Xing Yuxing also came from a poor family and was promoted to a general by virtue of military merit. He naturally understood the sufferings of the common people. Looking at the skinny common people outside the military camp, all weak and old, he felt pity in his heart. However, since he was in a humble position, it was useless to talk more.
We can only hope that some of the food and grass brought by the Qin army this time can be distributed to the people in the city. So Li Bi ordered him to lead the army out of the city to receive food and grass.
To transport grain and grass back to the city.
Seeing the grain and grass convoy approaching, Xing Yuxing discussed with the generals of the Qin army who were escorting the grain and decided to charge forward with his own men and clear a bloody path for the convoy. Then the grain team would pass through the Chu army's camp as quickly as possible and transport the grain into the city.
At that time, Chen Jun in the city will also go out of the city to respond. No matter what, they must work hard to transport the food into the city.
The Qin army transporting grain came with nearly 20,000 people this time. This Qin army was an elite guarding Xianyang and did not take the Qi army besieging Ancheng seriously. I heard that Xing Yuxing, the Qi army and the Chu army, said they were brave.
He didn't take it seriously, he just said: Don't worry, the food and grass will be transported to the city.
Xing Yuxing could see that the Qin army escorting the grain and grass was arrogant, so he stopped talking. He ordered the Qin army to charge towards the Chu army camp again. When they rushed into the Chu camp, they divided into two groups and fought on both sides.
The convoy cleared a path.
The two sides agreed that Xing Yuxing would light up the smoke on the mountain. When the smoke also rose in the direction of Ancheng, Xing Yuxing would give the order and the army would go to the Chu army camp to kill again.
As soon as Xing Yuxing's Qin army arrived at the Chu army's camp, the two sides fought fiercely again. The Chu army was obviously charged and killed many times by the Qin army. The Chu army only resisted the attack in a symbolic way, and was defeated by the Qin army.
Rushing into the camp, Xing Yuxing immediately ordered the flag to be raised, and the Qin army rushed to both sides with diagonal thrusts. The grain and fodder convoy behind also rushed into the camp quickly and headed for Ancheng.
Xing Yuxing saw that the Chu army had been killed and scattered, retreating to both sides, and felt a little relieved. He saw that half of the convoy was already in the ### camp. As long as he continued to charge for a while, until all the convoy passed through the Chu army's camp, his attack would be considered a meritorious service.
Already.
Looking ahead, Chen Jun's vanguard had already come forward, met up with the escorting Qin army, and headed forward with the convoy. Xing Yuxing felt relieved when he saw it, and led the Qin army to continue to kill the Chu army on both sides.
.The Chu army saw a large number of vehicles entering and knew that they were transporting grain and grass, so they fought back desperately. Xing Yuxing suddenly felt the pressure increase suddenly, and he could not care about anything else and fought with the Chu army with all his strength.
After fighting for nearly an hour, Xing Yuxing saw that all the convoys had entered the Chu camp. Xing Yuxing was determined and prepared to gather the Qin army and rush into the city following the convoy. At this moment, he saw a group of light cavalry crossing.
Coming over, he separated himself from the convoy, and suddenly the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. Originally, the Qin army separated the Chu army and blocked the Chu army from approaching the convoy; but now this light cavalry came to block the Qin army from approaching the convoy.
Xing Yuxing was shocked when he saw this. He didn't care about being attacked from both sides, and urgently ordered the Qin army to desperately move towards the convoy, making sure to protect the convoy.
At this time, the west side of Ancheng was already in chaos. As soon as Chen Jun, who was out of the city to meet up, saw a convoy approaching, he quickly stepped forward to greet him. Unexpectedly, the escorting Qin Army suddenly changed his face and shot at him instead.
There was a shower of arrows, and then they rushed over. Chen Jun didn't know why, so he had to fight passively. The Qin Army convoys from behind continued to come, and they still fought against Chen Jun. Chen Jun was killed inexplicably, but he could not let it go.
When the people were slaughtered, and when the fire broke out, they fought back with all their strength, thinking of seizing the grain truck first and returning to Ancheng.
Xing Yuxing fought back ### The light cavalry between himself and the convoy followed and rushed forward. However, seeing that the convoy had stalled, he knew that it was being blocked, so he ordered more than ten thousand Qin troops to help defend the flanks of the convoy, and he led
He rushed to the front with more than 10,000 Qin troops. When he arrived in front of the convoy, he saw that the Qin army and the Chen army escorting the grain and grass were fighting inextricably. Xing Yuxing was confused, but he also knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so he rushed to kill and shouted to stop.
Qin Army and Chen Army. Wang Xianquan, the chief general of Chen Army, naturally recognized Xing Yuxing, and the Qin Army general who escorted the grain and grass also recognized Xing Yuxing. After Xing Yuxing stopped him, both sides gradually stopped.
Xing Yuxing didn't bother to ask about the reason for the fight between the two sides, so he hurriedly said: "Two generals, don't get me wrong. I don't want to introduce you to you now. We just rush to the city!"
Wang Xianquan thought about it, and clasped his fist at the escorting Qin general, and then said: "I will lead the Chen army to open the way first!" After that, he rushed towards Ancheng.
However, he saw the battle flags of the Chu army in front of him were separated, revealing a large group of Qi army's crossbowmen, followed by heavy armored cavalry. Wang Xianquan was shocked. The power of the Qi army's crossbows and the fierceness of the heavy armored cavalry, he
He had seen it before. But he couldn't help but hesitate at this time. With a wave of his sword, he led the Chen army to charge forward. The bows and crossbows of the Qi army also rained down on the Chen army, and the Chen army in front fell off their horses.
After the Qi army's crossbowmen fired a few arrows, they quickly retreated behind the heavy armored cavalry, and the Qi army's heavy armored cavalry rushed up. Once the heavy armored cavalry started, their momentum was unusually powerful. The light cavalry in front of Chen's army suddenly
The soldiers were scattered. Chen's army was in chaos. Wang Xianquan was unable to stop him, so he had to dodge to one side with the soldiers.
Xing Yuxing saw the heavy armored cavalry of the Qi army rushing over, and knew that his light cavalry could not stop it. However, the situation forced him to force the Qin army's light cavalry to attack head-on. When the two armies met, the Qin army's light cavalry was immediately routed, and the Qi army was defeated.
The heavy armored cavalry rolled over like huge wheels, smashing the Chen and Qin armies into chaos and causing countless casualties.
The Qin Army and Chen Army were also rushed away from the convoy by Qi Army's heavy armored cavalry. The Chu Army surrounding both sides also rushed forward. Now the Chu Army is no longer as vulnerable as it was at first, and is extremely ferocious. Qin
The Qin army and the Chen army originally numbered 70,000 to 80,000, but the Qin army and the Chen army escorting the grain and grass had a fight, and nearly 10,000 people were lost. Xing Yuxing's Qin army also lost nearly 10,000 people in one round trip.
Injured by crossbows, coupled with the charge of heavy armored cavalry, there were many injuries. Now the Qin army and Chen army that can fight are less than 50,000. However, the Qi army and Chu army surrounding them are killing more and more. Looking at
With the Qi and Chu armies almost out of sight, Xing Yuxing himself felt that he had no courage to continue fighting.
