Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Four: Surprise

Although Ying Qian put his hope of pursuing the 20,000 Wei Wushu on Zhai Hu and Miao Lin, he actually knew that Zhai Hu and Miao Lin could not catch up with the 20,000 Wei Wushu.

Around Siyu that day, nearly 100,000 Qin troops were chasing the 40,000 Wei soldiers. Even Gongsun Jia, who was stationed in Cangcheng, sent troops to attack Heying Camp quickly while Ying Qian sent people to send people to urgently send troops to attack Heying Camp, Wei general Rang Ni led 20,000 Wu soldiers to the area of ​​Dongliang City. This speed is worthy of the rumors that Wei Wu soldiers travel a hundred miles a day, even if it is not inferior to Shaoliang's strange soldiers. Of course, Shaoliang's strange soldiers are elite soldiers of the level of Wu soldiers, but they specialize in different situations.

The sudden appearance of these 20,000 Wei Wushang shocked the guards in Dongliang City and hurriedly sounded the alarm bell.

Amid the sound of the alarm bells, Dongliang Doctor Fan Hu rushed up the city wall like a wind, lying on the battlements and looking at the Wei army far outside the city, unable to hide his horror.

Didn’t the Wei army in Hexi besieged in Heyang by the Qin army and his Shaoliang army? How could it suddenly appear here?

Where is the army ahead?

Did you lose?

Fan Hu became more and more shocked the more he thought about it, and his expression became very ugly. After all, more than 80% of his troops in Shaoliang were taken away by Zhai Hu and Li He. The remaining soldiers were divided into various cities, and at best they could only play a role in opening and closing the city gates in the morning and evening. If the Wei army outside the city, which was estimated to be more than 10,000 people, attacked him, Dongliang City, at all, could not defend him.

In amazement, he had no choice but to invite the Mozhe in the city to organize the only combat power to gather men over 35 years old in the city, and be able to guard for a while.

But gradually he realized something was wrong, because he saw that the Wei army did not seem to be coming to him in Dongliang City. He was passing by his Dongliang City without any nostalgia and headed directly to Dukou Village on the east side of Dongliang.

Why is this?

Just when Fan Hu was suspicious, Fan Ju, his clan brother who served as the Dongliang Yi Order, guessed: "Can't this Wei army want to break through from my Dongliang and withdraw back to Hedong?"

Fan Hu's heart moved, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the Wei army passing outside the city. At this time, he realized that the Wei army had not carried any siege equipment, and did not even bring the most basic siege ladder; and secondly, it did not carry any food, grass and supplies. Rather than saying that "advance somewhere", it was indeed more like running away.

Seeing this, he felt relieved and said with relief: "I hope it is a false alarm..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of Dukou Village on the east side.

There was a fishing village in the Dongliang Ferry area. When the Qin army invaded Shaoliang the year before yesterday, the country withdrew the villagers to Dongliang City and then to the old Liang. However, during the reconstruction last year, the village was also rebuilt, and the number of villagers increased to more than 200 households, which were specifically responsible for fishing in Dongliang City.

Given that most young and middle-aged people who were fifteen to thirty-five years old joined the army, there were only a group of children under the age of fifteen and men over the age of thirty-five, as well as some women and children, as well as Qianherong refugees with good character, the entire village looked like about seven or eight hundred people.

Now this Wei army with at least 10,000 people headed straight to the fishing village at the ferry entrance. How can the fishing village resist?

However, if we need to send troops to support, Dongliangcheng itself does not have enough troops.

For a moment, Fan Hu's heart sank again. At this time, he could only pray that the Wei army was really fleeing, and that he should not commit the evil deeds of slaughtering in that fishing village. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the brothers, sons or fathers of the people in the village who were soldiers in the army.

Just when he was worried, in the distance outside the city, Wei general Rang Ni was riding in a chariot and looked at Dongliang City in the distance without saying a word.

To be honest, when he led 20,000 Wei Wushang to the Dongliang area, for a moment, he did think about capturing Dongliang City. After all, the orders issued by Wei Gongsun Yan to him and Long Jia before leaving, or the orders sent by Daliang to him and the two of them at the end of last year. Both of them asked him and Long Jia to "defend the strongholds in Hexi to fight to the end of last year."

Simply put, they were asked to defend a city to resist the Qin army's offensive. Until Wei defeated the Qi, Chu, Song and Wei coalition forces in Sui County, sent troops to aid. However, whether it was Gongsun Yan or King of Wei, neither expected that Shaoliang would incredibly create 10,000 powerful crossbows in just eight months. Taking advantage of the gap in Han Ju leading the Han army to withdraw back to Hedong, he assisted the Qin army in attacking him at 60,000 Wei troops, forcing Rang Ni and Long Jia to give up Heyang and choose to break through.

But if Rang Ni could conquer Dongliang at this moment, his 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers might not need to retreat to Fenyin.

As for whether this move would seriously offend Shaoliang, this is not within Rang Ni's consideration, let alone that Wei and Shaoliang are still in a state of hostility, only one formal declaration of war is left - even if it were not for the intervention of Qi and Chu, Wei would have declared war on Shaoliang long ago.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Rang Ni gave up this tempting idea, because on the way he came, his Wei Wushu had already broken through Zhai Hu's Xushui camp, that is, the camp that guarded the Xushui Bridge.

Because time was rushed, Rang Ni did not send anyone to pursue the fleeing Shaoliang defender, but just destroyed the bridge built on Xushui to block the pursuers behind him.

But even so, he did not dare to relax at all. Who knows whether the Qin and Liang coalition forces would catch up immediately?

Especially those damn young Liang Qibing.

Once caught up by these surprise soldiers, it means that their movements will be completely exposed to the Qin and Liang coalition forces. I believe that the Qin and Liang coalition forces will chase after them in less than a long time.

So Rangqi took 20,000 Wei Wu soldiers and quickly passed outside Dongliang City and headed straight to Dongliang Ferry.

I have to say that when 20,000 Wei Wushu rushed to the fishing village at the ferry entrance with a fierce momentum, the men, women, young and old in the fishing village were frightened. When they heard that the other party claimed to be the Wei army, they looked even more pale.

But even so, the fishing village showed their will to "never surrender to foreign enemies" and quickly summoned the villagers to prepare for resistance: men between the ages of 35 and 45 held harpoons, bamboo poles, and hoes as front lines to protect the women, children, and the elderly and the weak behind them. Even those women, children, the elderly and the weak also held kitchen knives, pots and cauldrons and other tools in their hands.

However, the result is naturally self-evident. How could nearly 20,000 Wei Wushangs not be able to deal with a group of unarmed civilians?

In just a moment, half of the more than 100 middle-aged and elderly men were knocked over to the ground by Wei Wuzhang.

It is also thanks to the fact that Wei Wuzun is a stolen elite and disdain to massacre civilians. Otherwise, let alone knocking down more than a hundred middle-aged and elderly villagers, even if they slaughter the entire village, it would not take more than one stick of incense.

Seeing that the villagers were knocked down one after another, some women were holding the children and howled in horror, but some people cursed the Wei soldiers in front of them.

A child in his teenage years old cursed with hatred, "...my brother will not let you go. He is a surprise soldier. He will definitely take other surprise soldiers to kill all of you!"

Originally, Rang Ni didn't care about the casualties of the people in the village. It was just that the Wei Wushu was restrained from the elite self-esteem and did not kill him. However, the child's words made Rang Ni feel uneasy.

It is undeniable that the most shocking thing about the Qin and Liang coalition this time was the volley of the entire ten thousand young Liang crossbowmen. But when it comes to who the Wei army is most afraid of, it is undoubtedly the young Liang Qiong.

Although there are only one thousand soldiers of Shao Liang Qibing, as long as they are given enough time and enough equipment, they can kill ten or a hundred times enemies. Rangni has no doubt about this.

If today's actions angered those thousand Liang Qibing soldiers, and those thousand people crossed the river to the east of his river, the whole Hedong would probably be in peace.

Maybe the young Liang Qibing will fight to Daliang.

Thinking of this, Rang Ni realized that he might have caused a big disaster and quickly invited the Heyang doctor Yin Qi who was coerced by them and explained: "Doctor Yin, Rang only asked to use the fishing boats in the village to retreat to the other side, and did not want to harm the people in the village. He hoped that Dr. Yin would come forward to explain and ask them to hand over the fishing boats in the village... This would be good for each other."

Yin Zhi was restricted to the carriage, so he naturally heard the movements in the village and sneered repeatedly when he heard this.

Of course he knew that Rang Ni was not concerned about the casualties of the people in the fishing village, but was afraid of being retaliated by his Shao Liang Qibing.

Just as Li He said when he advocated the expansion of the surprise troops, no matter how weak Shaoliang is, he must have a force that can make the strong country afraid, so that the army of those big countries can prevent them from acting unscrupulously in his Shaoliang territory.

Of course, even though he sneered, considering that the current situation was stronger than others, he still agreed and personally came forward to appease the people of the fishing village, and asked them to temporarily obey the instructions of the Wei army and hand over the fishing boats in the village, so as not to die in vain.

Yin Qi was an old minister of Shaoliang, with a very high reputation. The people of the fishing village naturally obeyed Yin Qi's instructions, recalled the villagers who were fishing in the river, and handed the fishing boat to the Wei army.

Fortunately, Fenyin County on the other side also sent people here, and both sides quickly built a floating bridge on the river.

"Cross the river!"

With Rang Ni's order, 20,000 Wei Wushu quickly crossed the river.

It was about the time of Si, and when Zhai Hu and Miao Lin led their respective troops to pursue him, only three or four thousand Wei Wu soldiers were left without crossing the river.

Since there were fishing villages and Yin Qi as hostages, Zhai Hu did not dare to act rashly. Miao Lin also considered Shao Liang's emotions and did not take an offensive. She could only watch the remaining Wei Wuzhang cross the river with the help of a floating bridge.

It has to be said that Rang Ni kept his promise and kept his promise when all the Wei Wu soldiers crossed the river, and he kept his promise and released Yin Qi. Obviously, he was also afraid that he would be retaliated by Shao Liang Qibing after committing a breach of trust.

But even so, Zhai Hu and the soldiers of Shaoliang under his command were still full of anger, especially the soldiers of Wei Wu bullied and injured many villagers.

What? Thank you? Thank you for not killing Wei Wuzhang?

Ridiculous! Wei Wuzun broke into his Shaoliang country and injured the people of Shaoliang. Because of his restraint, he did not kill anyone. Shaoliang would like to thank the other party for not killing him?

At least Zhai Hu and his soldiers had no idea at all.

"Wei Wuzun...hum!"

Looking at the Wei Wuzun who was evacuating quickly on the other side, Zhai Hu sneered with a calm face: "Wait, this account will be settled sooner or later!"

The soldiers nearby agreed.

At the same time, Ying Qian led several Qin generals, including Gongsun Zhuang, Gan Xing, Xun Xia, etc., to lead 50,000 Qin troops to escort the Wei army captured in this battle, and returned to the camp of the Qin and Liang coalition forces.

The 5,000 Shaoliang army led by Li He and Wei Zhu were accompanied by 5,000 "Dongliang soldiers and prisoners" including Zheng Hou and Hua Jia.

At this time, what appeared before them was Heyang City, which was guarded by several major clan members such as the Tian clan and He clan in the castle after the Wei army was defeated and fled.

"Hmph! I don't know when I die..."

Looking at the group of guys in Heyang City who were not as good as soldiers, tremblingly guarding the city, Ying Qian snorted coldly and issued an order with a bit of ferociousness: "Prepare to attack the city!"

"yes!"

While Li He looked at Heyang City in the distance without saying a word, the Qin generals responded in unison.
