Chapter 26: The Death of Stopping the War

After settling the camp, Fu Xin commanded the army to carry out several tentative attacks on Wuyuan that afternoon, hoping to retake Wuyuan County in one fell swoop. However, Ziying had three thousand soldiers and horses, although they were slightly lower than Wuyuan Army, but they were more than enough to defend the city wall.

Fu Xin, the upper-class figure in Raoyang, knew Sima Shang well, Xu Cheng also had a young Raoyang Junziying. Xu Cheng is now detained in his army. At this moment, who else is besides Sima Shang in Wuyuan City? As for Ziying in the baby state, he is directly ignored.

At this time, Fu Xin had already determined that the despicable and shameless treacherous villain Sima Shang would die. He took advantage of his army to seize his old nest Wuyuan, and even made him mistakenly think that he was in Raoyang and ran away in vain.

Since Sima Shang is in the city, it only needs to capture Wuyuan. It is not enough to worry about the rest of Raoyang without anyone leading him. Sima Shang's move is just to eliminate the siege of Liyang and lead the war to his own land, Fu Xin thought.

The people in Raoyang were unstoppable to take care of themselves in the west of Zhao State. After tentative attack, Fu Xin ordered the troops to stop the attack. After all, he was from afar, and the loss of direct attack was too great in this state. It would be better to rest for a night and the Japanese soldiers were full of energy and then attack the city with all their strength.

The sun was far west, and Ziying sent a messenger who had agreed on the attack with Sima Shang's troops and had returned.

The night attack was set at Yin hour before dawn, and in theory, the time when people slept the most.

It was quiet and silent. At around 4 o'clock in the morning, dozens of people carefully selected from the east and west sides of the Raoyang City Wall quietly slipped down the city wall with ropes. Each of them had flints, scythes, turtle velvets, fire mediums and other objects that caused fire in their arms.

Fu Xin is not a famous general, and his family is not well-known. His father was only a county magistrate. Although several sentries were placed around the camp, if they had not fallen asleep privately, they would have been touched and killed by the sneak attacker in front of him.

Dozens of people basically surrounded Fuxin camp and waited to the torches on the top of the city to ignite the firewood around the camp, and picked up the straw that was burning with tinder oil and threw it into the camp.

Oil assisted the fire, and Fuxin camp was densely covered with firewood and fat.

Not long after, the Fuxin camp was filled with flames. Some soldiers were unable to put on their clothes and rushed out of the camp to escape. Some people were stained with flames and rolled wildly on the ground in pain. Some even caught people and wanted to wipe out their own flames, which made the camp situation even more chaotic.

Fu Xin woke up from his sleep and hurriedly put on his armor and walked out of the military tent. Except for a few personal guards, he could not gather any living power.

The camp was surrounded by firelights soaring into the sky. Compared with the crowds of people scattered in life, no one cared about the majesty of him, a general.

What added fuel to the fire was that at this moment, the gate of Wuyuan City opened wide, and teams of soldiers emerged from it, and the battle flags were flying and slogans shook the sky. Just looking at the formation, there were thousands of people. Because the fire in the military camp was booming, the Wuyuan army did not dare to attack for a long time, and some soldiers who rushed over were directly shot and killed halfway.

"Release" only a call came out, and followed the dense arrows and passed through the camp, taking away fresh lives.

At this time, the army was in chaos, with not many people holding weapons, and some were not dressed at all, running around in the camp with their bare butts. Fu Xin knew that in this state, it was tantamount to attacking the Wuyuan defenders and soldiers to die.

I immediately shouted loudly, "I am Wuyuan Order Fu Xin, and my soldiers will follow me to retreat immediately." After that, I led several personal guards to rush towards the side far away from Wuyuan City. The guards accompanying along the way kept shouting Fu Xin's orders, and more and more entourages, slowly gathering into a group of small groups to rush out with Fu Xin.

When Fu Xin led his troops out of the sea of ​​fire, the tragic situation in front of him was really unbearable. The day before, the five thousand Yan troops, who were in a uniform manner and strong, were now covered in dust and dust. Needless to say, most of the weapons, armor and supplies were discarded in the sea of ​​fire, and many people were not even wearing all their clothes.

It was too late to count the soldiers, but Fu Xin led his subordinates to practice for many years. From the scale alone, he knew that there were many people who were injured. Not far away, screams came from the sea of ​​fire from time to time. It was obvious that some soldiers had not yet escaped from the sea of ​​fire.

However, at this moment, there was obviously no time to rescue those comrades who were still in the sea of ​​fire. There were already sounds of footsteps not far away. The Wuyuan defenders were already chasing. Fu Xin hurriedly rode one of the few remaining war horses and ran away. The soldiers behind followed suit and didn't care about escaping immediately.

The Wuyuan defender, who followed Ziying's previous instructions, maintained about 100 meters away from Fu Xin's escaped army, and sent all cavalry to harass the fugitive army's wings. Along the way, Fu Xin's soldiers gave up and fled and lie down on the ground and surrendered to survive.

Wu Yuan defenders had no time to take care of these people, so they went straight through them to pursue Fu Xin's main force.

Just after the hour of Yin, a faint light appeared in the sky. When the sky was bright, you could see the road clearly. At least you got rid of the heavy darkness before dawn. Those difficult-to-hide arrows would take away several arrows of life from time to time.

But Fu Xinjun, who had just escaped from the darkness, had no time to be happy, and his escape stopped abruptly. In the front of them, an army of thousands of people suddenly blocked the way. The general in front was Sima Shang, who was gritting his teeth with hatred.

There were pursuers before, and there were intercepting them. If there was a choice, Fu Xin would definitely choose to surrender. But he knew that after receiving the letter from "Sima Shang", his insults to him were only much greater than the malice he had towards him in the letter. Others might be able to survive, but Fu Xin's surrender was definitely a word of death.

At this moment, he also understood. The reason why Wuyuan defenders have not caught up with him so far is completely a mentality of playing with rats, trying to completely smooth out the sharpness of their army and then catch them all in one go.

At this moment, no matter which direction the situation of my own army breaks through, it is difficult to escape from the sky. Continuing to run to the side will only exhaust your last bit of morale.

When he was desperate, Fu Xin drew his long sword and pointed it at his "enemy" Sima Shang, shouting "Kill" and then led the way to Sima Shang's team.

At the same time, the army led by Sima Shang and the Wuyuan defenders also accelerated at the same time, and rushed towards Fu Xin's remaining army on both sides.

The result of the war was determined from the moment the fire rose. The remnants of the army led by Fu Xin faced the 5,000 well-equipped opponents, which was a unilateral massacre. Some subordinates in Fu Xin's army could even pick up a piece of rubble from the side of the road and a branch to participate in the battle, and often lost their lives in one round.

The battle began soon and ended quickly. Half an hour later, there was no soldier in Fu Xin's army who could stand on the battlefield except those who surrendered.

Fu Xin himself was unable to even rush to Sima Shang, and was stabbed to death by two soldiers, one by one and one by one on the way to charge.

After cleaning the battlefield, Ziying intuitively realized the cruelty of the war. The Raoyang army suffered small losses, but more than 100 people were killed in the final decisive battle, and more than 100 people were injured. In Fu Xin's army, in addition to the more than 1,000 surrendered people, the remaining more than 3,000 people were killed or burned to death.

After listening to the sergeant's report, Ziying couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of war. Although she had some intuition or mental preparation before, she still sighed when she saw this result. She left the world for more than 3,000 lives in just one night, and this was not the end, it was just the beginning.

On the battlefields between countries in China, conflicts of this scale occur from time to time, and some major wars may even add hundreds of thousands of dead.

As long as one day the situation of the battle for hegemony among countries does not end and the world cannot be unified, such scenes will continue to take place.
