Chapter 125: The Victory of Ma Fujun (Three in One Chapter)(1/2)

Bai Qi's army also began to rest.

Sitting by the bonfire, the flames reflected Bai Qi's calm face, and the flames swayed. Bai Qi just stared at the flames, and there was no joy or anger on his face, nor any worries. The deputy general sat aside, not daring to say anything more. He wanted to congratulate this victory, but Wu'anjun's goal was to wipe out the Wei people. Now this result was obviously not as expected by Wu'anjun. But if it was said to be a failure, they killed the enemy's general and defeated the Wei army. This was another huge victory.

Now, the remaining troops of Wei State may be less than 50,000, and they will lose the main general, and the army will be in turmoil and have no fighting spirit.

The Qin people gathered soldiers from various counties around them and could still gather nearly 80,000 warriors. When the troops were at a disadvantage, the deputy general did not think that the Wei people could have any chance. Even if the troops on both sides were equal, the Wei people were not the opponent of the Qin people.

The deputy general's face was full of confidence. No one could defeat Wu'anjun. When Bai Qi went to Changping, not counting those sentences, Qin had 200,000 warriors who could directly participate in the battle. When defeating Lian Po, the Qin army lost more than 10,000 elite troops. Lian Po was not given in vain. Even if he retreated, he bit off a piece of Bai Qi's flesh. In the subsequent battle, Bai Qi swept over Zhao and then immediately divided his troops.

Sixty thousand soldiers were stationed in Lucheng as partial troops, waiting for the order of Wu'anjun.

Sixty thousand soldiers were stationed on the Danshui outer defense line, serving as a corner with Lucheng.

There were 70,000 soldiers stationed in Shangdang’s eldest son, maintaining order in Shangdang.

The King of Qin summoned 100,000 soldiers from Henoi, returned to Bai Qi's command, and occupied Zhongmu.

Wu'anjun's original idea was to lure Zhao Kuo to fight, then encircle him and destroy Zhao's army, but Zhao Kuo blindly adopted the defensive stance and could not defend himself. He didn't even give him the chance to be defeated, which made Bai Qi very worried.

Why is it so difficult to lose to you?

Zhao Kuo doesn’t go to fight! He doesn’t go to fight at all!!

Bai Qi first deliberately attacked Wu'an, for fear that Zhao Kuo would find out that he had sent a very small number of soldiers to attack Wu'an because he knew that this number of soldiers could not capture Wu'an City at all. He wanted to use a real failure to lure Zhao Kuo. He did not set up an ambush halfway at that time. He completely used the army that attacked Wu'an as a abandoned soldier. As long as the enemy pursued him, he could easily destroy the Qin army.

At that time, the Zhao people with high fighting spirit and the proud Ma Fujun will definitely attack the whole line. Bai Qi even thought about it. As long as the war starts, he will be defeated all the way, leading Zhao Kuo, who has won all the battles, to Changping, and then cut off his retreat through the Taihang Mountain Trail and besieged him until death.

Who would have thought that Ma Fujun, who was so bragged by Zhao, was such a timid coward. He threw tens of thousands of people in Wu'an, and he didn't dare to go out to eat!

It's shameful! It's hateful! It's a ruthless general!

Bai Qi has been marching for decades, and he has never seen such a slutty general!! Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers on the Great Wall defense line, watching the defeated tens of thousands of people fleeing without daring to pursue them? What does it mean to look down on this little military achievements?

Bai Qi did not expect that Zhao Kuo had such a great prestige among the people. In various parts of Handan County, he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Zhao people. These elderly, weak, women and children shouted about Ma Fujun and launched an attack on the Qin people several times. Even in cities that were strongly suppressed by the Qin people, Zhao people always attacked Qin soldiers, burned horse chariots, demolished chariots, polluted well water, etc.

Bai Qi was in chaos behind and could only adopt the usual approach, and the resisters died. But even in the face of such a policy, the Zhao people were still resisting. Some old men pretended to offer wine to Bai Qi and wanted to kill Bai Qi with a dagger. Seeing this, Bai Qi knew in his heart that as long as these people did not die, all his deployments and even actions on Zhao land might encounter setbacks and might be secretly leaked to Zhao Kuo.

Therefore, he killed all the cities that resisted the Qin people. After killing them, he also used Zhao Kuo's concern for the people and deliberately made the tragic situation that the people were killed because Ma Fujun did not dare to fight, and wanted to anger Zhao Kuo like this. However, Zhao Kuo was too stable. Faced with such stimulation, he still did not fight. Don't you love the people as your son? All fakes are fakes.

But when Bai Qi tried his best to lure Zhao Kuo to fight, the Wei State sent troops to Hanoi.

The Wei army rushed to Hanoi, and most of the main elites brought by Bai Qi were Hanoi soldiers. When Bai Qi's soldiers learned that Hanoi was attacked, they just thought about their family members and had no intention of staying in Zhao, which caused chaos in the army and everyone was in danger. If it weren't for the strict military law, they would be afraid that some soldiers would have to go back to protect their hometown. Facing this situation, Bai Qi had a countermeasure in his heart. He first ordered Wang Yu and Meng Wu to guard Lucheng.

He led the main army and set out towards Hanoi quietly. The soldiers learned that they wanted to rescue Hanoi and rescue their close relatives. Bai Qi ordered them to march urgently. They didn't complain and wanted to take a break and save their relatives quickly. Bai Qi calculated that the cautious Zhao Kuo would not send troops easily. After all, this guy was a little too cautious. Such a person hesitated and would definitely not accomplish anything big.

However, after he led his army to leave, Zhao Kuo carefully sent soldiers to advance to Zhaodi layer by layer. In order to restore Zhaodi, Bai Qi immediately ordered Wang Wei to ambush the troops who went to Lucheng in Zhao State, and asked them to ambush the Zhao army who came to rescue him halfway. He wanted to swallow the two legions of Ma Fujun and let Ma Fujun look at Lucheng so that he could safely solve the Wei people.

Things were a little different from what he thought. The two generals of Zhao State called Tian Yue and Li Mu actually resisted Wang Yan and were not annihilated. However, the final expectation was successful. Zhao Kuo also targeted Lucheng. The overall military tendency was inclined to Lucheng. Later, Lian Po captured Zhongmu again, which Bai Qi did not expect. However, at this time, Zhao State had no time to rescue, and Bai Qi was already waiting for the Wei people to cross the river on the river bank.

Later on, there was the Battle of the River. Bai Qi killed the general of Wei State, Jin Bi. If Wei Wuji had not rescued him in time, he would have been killed by Bai Qi.

However, Bai Qi was still not worried. Wei Wuji was very good. His strategic vision was even better than that of the veteran Jin Bi. However, he had too few soldiers and his brother held him hostage him. He was no match for him at all. Bai Qi had to rest and restore his energy to the soldiers and could destroy all the Wei troops in one battle. At that time, he would go to Zhao again and behead Zhao Kuo, who dared to stick his head, and the war would end. Wei and Zhao were defeated, and Chu would not dare to continue to send troops.

After only two days of rest, Bai Qi ordered troops to send troops. He did not give the soldiers any more time to rest. Before the Wei people had not recovered completely, they quickly eliminated them. Bai Qi divided the army into three and killed the river bank from three directions. Bai Qi's chariot was driving in the central army. All around Bai Qi were infantry and there was no chariot. Bai Qi organized all the chariots into a legion, led by veteran Meng Ao.

This is to be prepared to destroy the enemy completely and not give them a chance to escape.

However, when the three armies gathered on the river bank, the Wei people lost their traces, only empty camps and the erected graves.

Did Wei Wuji flee back to Wei State with his men?

Bai Qi frowned and sent soldiers into the camp, and sent scouts to investigate everywhere.

According to Bai Qi's order, the Qin army was resting around, looking at the surroundings from time to time. The Qin general who entered the Wei people's abandoned camp looked particularly happy at this moment. He looked at the firewood, food, and feed in the camp, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the Wei people fled here in panic. They didn't even have time to take these military supplies away."

Suddenly, he smelled something. He stopped and sniffed curiously. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, realized something, and shouted: "Not good!! Get out!!" At that moment, several Wei people pushed away the food and supplies, as if they had drilled out from the ground, and the torch in their hands was thrown directly towards the food and supplies. "Swoosh~~", after the food and supplies encountered the torch, they suddenly turned into a fire!!

The flames burned and quickly spread around, and flames rose one after another, and the flames were jumping around. The Qin army fell into chaos. Under the leadership of their respective soldiers, they hurriedly killed the hidden Wei people. These Wei people did not look like soldiers. They were not afraid at all. They fought with the Qin people with bare hands. Before they died, they were still ridiculing the Qin people and were swallowed by the ruthless flames.

Looking at the camp that suddenly burned, the Qin people around him jumped up in horror. Bai Qi frowned and hurriedly ordered to save people. Fortunately, the river was not far away, and the Qin people were constantly fleeing from the camp. The Qin people with flames were burning all over the body, and rushed out of the camp with fire. The flames on their bodies were extinguished by their colleagues with water, and then fell to the ground. Life and death were unknown, and more people fell into the camp, with flames burning on their bodies.

The Qin people did not put out the fire after all, and the entire camp was burning. The Qin army entering the camp was not very painful. However, when the burned soldiers were lying on the ground, roaring in pain, begging their colleagues to end his life, the Qin people's eyes appeared for the first time. These moans and terrifying bodies were very severe to morale.

Bai Qi stood in the distance, looking at the wailing wounded soldier, his face becoming more and more unkind.

The scout ran to his side and hurriedly reported: "The Wei army is attacking Yin County, and we found soldiers from Yin County who came to ask for help..."

"when?"

"Two days ago."

"Send troops to Yin County!!"

Bai Qi sent people to take care of the wounded soldiers and rushed towards Yin County with great momentum. When they marched to Yin County, they only saw a destroyed dead city. The Wei people killed all the Qin people here, leaving behind a few Wei people. This was venting their anger. Those Wei people who were not executed looked at Bai Qi in horror. Bai Qi waved his hand, and the soldiers raised their butcher knives towards them.

Without the Qin people in charge, he would not dare to leave this city to the Wei people.

"The Wei people are besieging Huai County!"

The scout came again, Bai Qi took a deep breath, and said, "Divide the troops, I rushed to Huai, all the way to Xingqiu, all the way to Shanyang! Let the Danshui garrison send troops to guard all the important roads, especially the Wild King, and must not be captured by the Wei people!" The Qin people did not stay for a long time, and divided the troops into three groups to kill all sides. However, when Bai Qi rushed to Huai County, he did not see the Wei people.

The Wei people just took a flick here and left here.

The scouts came again, and the Qin army heading to Shanyang was ambushed by the Wei State, with heavy casualties.

Bai Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly, he smiled. Perhaps this was the first smile he showed in this war. However, with his cold eyes, the smile also seemed a little scary. He looked at several generals around him and said, "Clog all the roads that the Wei army rushed to the ambition, and let the troops stationed in Danshui block the road they went to Zhao, so that Meng Ao could defend the road leading to Mengmen, and wipe out the Wei army."

"only!!"

The Qin army rushed to various battlefields quickly. Shanyang was a place that was very suitable for ambush. The road was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Bai Qi did not intend to continue to follow Wei Wuji. On the contrary, he wanted to block Wei Wuji's various roads and surround him in Shanyang. Shanyang was not suitable for a strong attack. Similarly, he was not suitable for attacking! Wei Wuji, who was resting in Shanyang, was truly threatened.

Bai Qi did not come to pursue, which only showed a situation. He cut off his way, but Wei Wuji was not afraid. Although Bai Qi had many soldiers, he could have an advantage when he was dispersed. The Mengmen direction could not attack easily, and Bai Qi could not allow him to join forces with the Zhao people easily. Therefore, in the Mengmen direction, a Qin general who was difficult to deal with was leading the important army to guard.

Therefore, Wei Wuji placed his main attack direction on Kui.

In the fifty-sixth year of King Yan of Zhou, forty-eighth year of King Ji of Qin, seventh year of King Dan of Zhao, and eighteenth year of King Wei, Wei Wuji's army launched an attack towards Mengmen. The defending place was Meng Ao, a famous general of Qin. Meng Ao fought against the Wei army. The Wei army retreated and Meng Ao failed to pursue and continued to defend. While the defenders of Kui's side were rescued in the Mengmen direction, Wei Wuji took the opportunity to attack Kui County. If it were not for the reinforcements returning, he would have been able to break through successfully.

Just as Bai Qi's encirclement of Wei Wuji became smaller and smaller, and he really forced him into Shanyang, the scout brought urgent reports.

Lian Po conquered Gongxian and Maoxian, backed the Meng Ao army stationed in Mengmen area, and attacked Meng Ao together with Wei Wuji. Meng Ao was defeated and retreated to Kui County.

When Bai Qi's chariot arrived in Shanyang, the empty city seemed to be mocking his incompetence. The troops sent by Bai Qi to various places hurriedly gathered in Kui, Shanyang and Yin to form a line of defense. Bai Qi never dreamed that he would lose his advantageous position in the offensive and turn into a defensive. Standing on the chariot, the soldiers did not see any anger and resentment in Bai Qi.

He was as calm as ever. When the chariot arrived at the city gate, the veteran general Meng Ao was standing at the door. The old general was covered in wounds. He took off his armor and remained motionless under the attack of the strong wind. He bent down in the direction of Bai Qi. His gray hair danced with the strong wind. Bai Qi's chariot stopped in front of him. Meng Ao was a Qi person, who had been proficient in military tactics since he was a child and showed unusual courage.

He has been waiting for the opportunity to serve Qi, defeat the countries and avenge him. However, when he saw that a minister who was fully reviving Qi was subjected to various exclusions, and even could not meet the King of Qi for a time, and was embarrassed by various difficulties, the noble of Qi was extremely disappointed with his homeland. He seemed to have seen his future from this minister, and even the savior was treated like this. Why did he serve such a king?

So, the Qi people left their homeland in anger. In Qin, he was appreciated by the King of Qin and soon had the opportunity to go to war. Since then, he has become the most important general of Qin, and has made outstanding contributions to Qin's territory. The King of Qin has also favored him very much. If he had not been older and his health gradually became poor, he might have been able to compete with Bai Qi for the general who conquered Zhao.

Bai Qi jumped out of the chariot and walked to Meng Ao.

Looking at the shameful and regretful old general in front of him, Bai Qi just said calmly: "The war is not over yet, how did you take off your armor?"

"Because of my incompetence, this time, I will punish my fault. Please punish me for warning the soldiers of the entire army." Meng Ao's voice was a little hoarse. Even in such a cold wind, he was wearing thin clothes, without trembling, and without trembling when he spoke. Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Liang Po is a veteran who is good at using troops. There are also wise people like Wei Wuji to help him. If you are attacked, you can still successfully break through with your soldiers. This is not a mistake."

Meng Ao still couldn't let go, he just lowered his head and said nothing.

Bai Qi said angrily: "After defeating, I don't think about how to take revenge, I lowered my head and waited for the whip of the chief general like a cattle and sheep. Is this something that the general of Qin can do?"

The old man Meng Ao raised his head and said seriously: "Reward those who have made merits and punish those who have been at fault. This is why Qin can dominate the countries. Now you want to avoid punishment for me because of my age and my past contributions. This is wrong, and you will be despised. How can you destroy the laws of Qin because of me alone?"

"If you don't punish me, I'm willing to die. Although I'm old, I don't need mercy."

Bai Qi looked at him deeply, and then said, "Two levels of titles are cut, and ten shields are punished!" After that, he pulled the old general up and said seriously, "Qin State is fighting with Zhao and Wei. Only by constantly attacking can the enemy be forced to act according to our ideas. Please be the vanguard and charge forward." Meng Ao took the order, and Bai Qi left him and walked into Shanyang.

At this moment, in Maocheng, Wei Wuji and Lian Po were sitting in the tent with a smile.

Both of them were generous warriors and were in love. When they saw Wei Wuji's first appearance, Lian Po was very happy. He held his hand and dragged it into the Zhao army. This behavior scared the Wei people. He thought that Lian Po wanted to hold their chief general hostage. Wei Wuji was very good at drinking, and General Lian Po was the same. The two sat in the camp, drinking and warming up, talking about the war, and the more they talked, the happier they were.

"I heard that you are stationed in Zhongmu, why did you appear here?" Wei Wuji asked curiously.

"This is the military order of the main general. He believed that Bai Qi's main force wanted to attack the Wei army. He originally asked me to go to Hanoi and attack Bai Qi with you. But when I arrived at the river, I knew that the war had ended and you attacked the Ye Wang direction, so I captured Gong, Mao and other places without showing any expression..." Lian Po said, Wei Wuji's eyes lit up, and he said: "It turned out to be Ma Fujun's military order!!"

"I've heard of Ma Fujun's Xianming a long time ago, and I have never been able to meet him."

"Where is he now?" Wei Wuji asked curiously. Lian Po smiled and said, "He is in Zhongmu. When he defeated Bai Qi, I will take you to see Ma Fujun." Wei Wuji was stunned. He didn't know what he thought of, and nodded with a bitter smile. He suddenly asked, "General Lian Po, what order does Ma Fujun have?" Lian Po took a sip of wine and said, "He said, let's involve Bai Qi, don't confront the Qin people head-on, so that he can't go north with peace of mind."

Wei Wuji thought for a moment before saying, "Is he trying to take the opportunity to eliminate all the Qin soldiers left in Zhao?"

Lian Po did not answer, and Wei Wuji thought to himself and said with a smile: "I am willing to obey Ma Fujun's instructions."

After Bai Qi learned of Lian Po's advance, he immediately issued an order, and ordered Wang Feng to lead the remaining 40,000 soldiers from his headquarters, and the 60,000 troops stationed in his eldest son, a total of 100,000 troops to march into Wu'an, but he led the soldiers on the headquarters and Danshui defense line, a total of 120,000 soldiers to attack Lian Po and Wei Wuji's troops, and attack the coalition forces on both sides.

On the side where Bai Qi was attacking, Lian Po had only 30,000 soldiers, and Wei Wuji had only 40,000 troops after these days of battle. In terms of number, he was no match for Bai Qi at all. In terms of Wang Yan, there were Li Mu stationed in Shu, 50,000 defenders, and Tian Yue stationed in Wu'an and 30,000 defenders.

Zhao Kuo's main force was distributed around Taihang, stationed at the important roads, connecting the north and south battlefields, with a total of 100,000 people. The rest of the soldiers defended each section of the Zhao Great Wall to protect Handan.

Faced with Bai Qi's strong attack, Lian Po and Wei Wuji divided their troops and fled, and began chasing each other with Bai Qi again. Bai Qi and Meng Ao divided their troops to attack, and captured Mao and waited for the city together, but they could not annihilate the enemy. The two sides were entangled, which made Bai Qi feel like they had no idea to start. The two of them also joined forces to attack from time to time, and even Bai Qi almost suffered a loss in their hands!

On the northern battlefield, Wang He was unexpectedly successful. Because of the previous battle with Li Mu, Wang He was very cautious. He did not want to be defeated by a young man like Li Mu and became a joke among the people of the world. However, when he arrived with his soldiers, Li Mu gave up defending the city and wanted to fight him head-on. His tactics were flexible from the beginning and became extremely slow.

Wang He was overjoyed. It seemed that this young man was too arrogant because of one victory. So Wang He defeated Li Mu in just one day and captured Shecheng. Afterwards, he encountered Li Mu who had retreated again and again, but he easily defeated Li Mu's simple ambush. Qin State and hundreds of thousands of troops of the coalition forces fought in Zhao. From the northernmost She to the southernmost Communist Party, the two legions fought together, and almost all areas were bleeding.

The Qin people had enough advantages, both Bai Qi and Wang Yan were constantly advancing. The Zhao-Wei coalition forces left behind countless bodies and retreated one after another. In Handan, news of the melee between the two sides continued to spread, and the people became increasingly desperate. The King of Zhao no longer dared to hold a banquet with peace of mind. He was waiting for news from the battlefield all day long. A minister suggested that another general be sent to replace Ma Fujun.

At this moment, Ma Fujun wiped the blood on his face and stood on the wall of Lucheng.

The city wall of Lucheng was floating with the flag of the horse uniform army. Looking at the corpses all over the mountains, Zhao Kuo leaned against the city wall, panting, and the soldiers looked at him in awe and passed by him. Zhao Fu was still helping Zhao Kuo treat the wound. Zhao Kuo looked at him, smiled, and said, "Your technique is really becoming more and more proficient." Zhao Fu did not laugh, but he was a little angry. He frowned and said, "You are the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops. Siege is the most dangerous thing. How can you climb the city yourself?"

"Do you want me to stand in the distance and watch my soldiers bleed?"

"I can't do this."

"You are the commander of the coalition forces. If something happens to you, what should the coalition forces do?" Zhao Fu asked.
To be continued...
