Chapter 150: Breakthrough and Interception
Just when Long Jia and Rang Ni were considering breaking through, Ying Qian, Zhai Hu, Li He, Gongsun Zhuang and others also discussed seizing Heyang City in the tent of the Qin and Liang coalition forces.
In Ying Qian's words, the morale of the Wei army in Heyang City must have fallen to a low point. As long as the Qin and Liang coalition forces launch a surprise attack, they can immediately capture the city.
And this so-called raid is nothing more than the previous one, where Shao Liang's army sneaked into the city, opened the city gate, and then the Qin army then entered the city and decided to fight.
The question now is, when will the raid be launched?
This depends on Shaoliang's attitude, or Li He's attitude. Ying Qian let Shaoliang decide on this matter very much to show his Qin's importance to Shaoliang, the allied country.
I have to say that with the idea of gradually assimilating Shaoliang, Ying Qian did a very good job in this regard, so that people could not find any fault.
After thinking for a while, Li He also gave an answer: "...Tomorrow, tomorrow, during the day, I will slash the morale of the Wei army again, and then at night I will personally lead people to attack the city."
"Okay." Ying Qian agreed immediately: "My soldiers of Daqin will fully support Shaoliang to conquer Heyang!"
"That's thank you..." Li He looked at Ying Qian with a smile on purpose or unintentionally.
At this time, even they did not expect that Long Jia and Rang Ni would choose to break through tonight so decisively.
It was Yexu, and a team of Wei soldiers broke into the palace and wanted to take away the doctor Yin Qi, who was about to rest.
Yin Qi's retainers and clans wanted to resist and block, but they were eventually stopped by Yin Qi. After all, the old man also understood that if the two sides fought, they would definitely suffer in the end.
So he stopped his retainers and all his clans and told him: "General Long Jia will not harm me, this old bone. You can stay in the residence honestly and not take a step."
Everyone had no choice but to watch Yin Qi, the family king, be taken away by the Wei army.
Soon, Yin Qi was taken to the Dongcheng Gate Tower by this group of Wei troops and met Long Jia and Rang Ni.
Long Jia was quite polite to Yin Qi. As soon as he met, he shouted out the two Wei generals who followed Yin Qi and then apologized to Yin Qi with a kind look: "There is something that requires the cooperation of Dr. Yin, so he sent someone to take Dr. Yin here late at night. Please forgive me."
At the invitation of Long Jia, Yin Qi sat in the table with a cane and looked at Long Jia and Rang Ni with great interest.
Similar to the rule of "War between the two countries, no envoys will be killed". For example, generals from various countries, the Zhiyi doctor was captured by the enemy's army and basically would not be persecuted. At most, it was only used as a bargaining chip for negotiations after the war. Therefore, Yin Qi and his retainers and their clans were captured by the Wei army, but were not harmed. They were only imprisoned in the city's residence, and were invited by Long Jia today.
Looking at the two, Yin Qi smiled politely and said, "I don't know if I need any cooperation?"
Yin Qi did not hide it. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Our army will retreat to Hedong. I hope Doctor Yin will go with me and others...Doctor Yin please rest assured that as long as everything goes well, I will release Doctor Yin after our army successfully crosses the river."
“…”
Yin Qi showed a little surprise on her face.
Although he was under house arrest in the city's residence these days, he also heard the bell ringing caused by the Qin and Liang coalition forces' two sieges. However, he did not expect that the Wei army was forced to give up Heyang and withdraw back to Hedong.
He stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that the Qin army has put a lot of pressure on the noble army during these days..."
When Rang Ni heard this from the side, he said expressionlessly: "In fact, the Qin army is far less pressure on our army than your country's army, whether it is your surprise soldier or your country's crossbowmen."
Yin Qi was stunned for a moment, then a subtle smile appeared on her face: "Hoho, this is really a great honor."
Long Jia turned his head and looked at Rang Ni and continued to say to Yin Qi: "What do you think about this?"
"What do you think... I didn't have a choice, right?"
Yin Qi smiled and then said seriously: "I can agree to go with your army, but I can't make any guarantee..."
"It's okay, as long as Dr. Yin agrees to go with him." Long Jia said with a smile. He is sure that Zhai Hu and Li He will not give up Yin Qi.
Seeing this, Yin Qi stared at Long Jia for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "...I hope that when your army evacuates, don't do anything to hurt the old people close to you, and don't take the opportunity to do evil deeds in the city."
"I can guarantee this." Long Jia made a promise with confidence.
After another hour, Long Jia and Rangqi stood on the city and watched the direction of the Qin and Liang coalition camp. Seeing that there was silence over there, Long Jia said to Rangqi: "It's almost done. I will lead people to attack his garrison later. You can take the opportunity to lead the military soldiers to evacuate north."
"Be careful." Rang Ni hugged Long Jia and fisted.
Long Jia nodded and walked down the city wall quickly.
A moment later, the east city gates, south city gates and north city gates of Heyang opened at the same time. The 40,000 Wei troops who were already ready quickly left the city and headed straight for the Qin and Liang coalition troops.
Such a large-scale operation can naturally be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Shao Liang Qibing who is wandering nearby.
Gao Yun, the two hundred generals of Shaoliang's strange soldiers, took the lead in discovering the Wei army's abnormal movements and quickly asked someone to blew the police whistle. For a moment, a sharp and harsh police whistle pierced the silence of the night sky and reached the camp of the Qin and Liang coalition forces.
The Qin soldiers on duty were still confused where the strange noise came from. The other part of the young Liang Qibing, led by Han Yan and Hou Yun, suddenly became shocked.
Because that was his young Liang Qibing's police whistle, which was only used for early warning in very critical situations.
When he saw that the police whistle was in the direction of Heyang, a thought flashed through Han Yan, Hou Yun and others: Wei army attacked the camp!
Han Yan, who was originally sitting by the campfire, stood up suddenly and headed towards a team of Qin army patrolmen who were curiously looking at the direction of the police whistle, ordered: "This is my surprise police whistle. You guys, hurry up and inform the entire camp. Most of the Wei army is going to attack the camp!"
It has to be said that Shao Liang Qibing was afraid and respectful to the Qin army. Although the team patrolling Qin soldiers led a 500-man general and the military position was still above Han Yan, the other party subconsciously obeyed the order and immediately sent someone to warn him.
The young Liang Qibing was not idle either. For example, Hou Yun, he immediately went straight to Li He's tent.
When Hou Yun and others quickly arrived at Li He's tent, Li He was standing outside the tent with Li Ying, Hu Feng, Hu Ben and others, frowned and looked in the direction of the police post that continued to be heard.
"Wei army is coming to attack at night? It shouldn't be..." Li Ying said in confusion: "The Wei army still has morale?"
In his opinion, with the sluggish morale of the Wei army in Heyang, it is impossible for him to recover in a short period of time.
"Unless there is a girl like Liang Ji, or a fierce general like Brother Li, opposite each other." Hu Ben jokingly said what Li Ying was thinking.
During this period, Li He stared at the police whistle and looked at the direction for a while, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the Wei army is going to break through!... Hurry up, report to Sima Zhai and Ying Qian immediately."
Everyone reacted immediately, and foxen rushed in to send a message.
Soon, Zhai Hu, Ying Qian and others rushed over, seeing that their clothes were not as flat as usual, which was obviously caused by a hasty rise.
"Wei Army wants to break through?"
Ying Qian, who walked quickly to Li He, couldn't wait to ask.
"It should be."
He nodded to Zhai Hu and said hello, Li He said his judgment: "My young Liang Qiong will only blew the whistle when the situation is very urgent and warns friendly forces. The police whistle is constantly continuing at the moment, which shows that the situation is extremely urgent. Maybe the Wei army is in full swing. Considering that the Wei army should not have the morale to attack our coalition camp, there is only one possibility. They want to break through the coalition's blockade and forcefully break through!"
"Um."
Ying Qian nodded seriously, then smiled and said, "Okay! OK!... In this way, it won't be possible for us to attack the city!"
After saying that, he walked quickly into the distance and shouted: "I ordered Gongsun Zhuang, Miao Lin, and Ji Liang to quickly assemble the soldiers!"
After looking at Ying Qian who was leaving, Li He discussed with Zhai Hu: "Before the situation is clear, please ask the Qin army to intercept it. When it is confirmed that the Wei army is going to break through, we will take action."
Seeing Zhai Hu nodding in agreement with him, Li He ordered Hou Yun again: "Hou Yun, you should take people to Heyang immediately. If the Wei army really abandons the city and flees, you should immediately lead the army into the city to find the whereabouts of Doctor Yin and others to ensure that they are safe."
"Yes!" Hou Yun left.
Just as the Qin and Liang coalition camps were being prepared to fight, Long Jia had led a small part of the 40,000 Wei troops to approach the coalition camps.
Of course, he also heard the endless harsh police whistle. He knew that it was Shao Liang's strange soldiers warning the Qin and Liang soldiers in the joint camp. But even so, he led his troops to the coalition camp, not seeking to capture the coalition camp, but just to hold the Qin and Liang coalition forces and create opportunities for his follow-up soldiers in the 40,000 Wei army. Although he intended to make the 40,000 main soldiers sacrifice and ensure the smooth retreat of 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers, this does not mean that he wants to sacrifice these 40,000 ordinary Wei soldiers. If the situation allows, he naturally hopes that more Wei soldiers can break through the blockade of the Qin and Liang coalition forces.
"kill!"
Under Long Jia's order, thousands of Wei soldiers rushed to the camps of the Qin and Liang coalition forces.
But unfortunately, the Qin soldiers on duty had already received warnings from Han Yan and others and had already taken the initiative to fight. Even the Qin crossbow soldiers and Shaoliang crossbow soldiers in the camp had gathered one after another, and in clusters of hundreds of people, they launched a volley in the direction of the shouts of killing outside the camp. This caused the thousands of Wei soldiers to be baptized by a wave of bows and crossbows as soon as they arrived outside the camp.
For a moment, the thousands of Wei soldiers suffered heavy casualties and wailed endlessly.
However, Long Jia seemed to ignore this and continued to order the attack on the coalition's camp.
At the same time, the 40,000 follow-up troops of the Wei army bypassed the camps of the Qin and Liang coalition forces and headed straight for the direction of the He camp.
But how could Ying Qian let Long Jia get what he wanted?
When Ying Qian found that the Wei army's efforts to attack his coalition camp at night were not painful at all, he understood what was going on and immediately ordered: "The Wei soldiers attacking the camp were abandoned by the Wei army to hold our army back. There is no need to pay too much attention to it. He passed on our order. The entire army went out to pursue the Wei army, kill one Wei soldiers, and rewarded ten acres of land! Kill five Wei soldiers, rewarded hundreds of acres of land, and promoted the title to one level!"
Under Ying Qian's heavy reward, the 100,000 Qin troops were like tigers that had left the gate, rushing out of the camp one by one, regardless of the darkness, and intercepting the 40,000 Wei troops to break through.
During this period, Rang Ni took Yin Qi and 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers and quietly left Heyang and headed straight north to Dongliang.
