Chapter 18 Ambush
There are more than one chapter, haha!
*******
The heavy snow was flying, and the vast Qin camp was covered with silver!
On an open space in the central and western part of the camp, the snow was cleaned up, revealing the desolate land. At this time, there were piles of firewood piles as high as meter in height on the open space, and Li Mu, a famous general, was lying quietly on it in a white robe.
Next to the pile of firewood, Wang Jian, Fusu and basically all the main generals of the Qin camp stood beside him, preparing to send Li Mu on his last journey!
Originally, when Fusu brought Li Mu's body back to Qin camp, according to the intention of some generals, he wanted to cut off his head and hand it to Xianyang to report his merits, but Fusu refused. Although some generals were a little dissatisfied, Fusu was a noble military supervisor, and Li Mu was also arrested by him personally. In addition, General Wang Jian's support for Fusu, so Li Mu's body was preserved.
A generation of "war generals" finally avoided the miserable end of the body!
However, although Fusu agreed to Li Mu's request to be buried with his mother, Handan could not achieve this wish without breaking it, so he could only cremate Li Mu temporarily, otherwise it would be difficult to preserve the body for several months!
Holding a torch in his hand, Fusu slowly walked up to him again looked at the hero who was once a hero who was once a powerful figure and famous general in the world: his face that lost his vitality was still so heroic and elegant, and his calm and peaceful expression was so calm and chic. It’s a pity that the famous general has left and can never be resurrected! Sadly!
"The way of heaven is unfair!" Fusu also smiled bitterly and shook his head, closed his eyes gently, and handed the torch in his hand forward!
The fire suddenly jumped up, danced a strange and cheerful dance, making a crisp sound of "splitting" and quickly swallowed Li Mu Wei'an's body! The hot flames emitted a rolling wave of heat, which made Fusu, who was standing near him, unable to help but take several steps back before he stood firm!
Looking at Li Mu's figure emerging in the flames, Fusu suddenly closed his eyes and murmured: "
Thirty years of war
War horses make fame
Rising like dust
It's a soldier
How about fame, fortune, life and death?
The heart is full of depression
It is the worries and anger of the country
And that heart
Four words that cause a faint pain——
Loyalty to the country
The God of War is dead with no eyes
Unable to recover the tide
Leave a heart of passion
And that fiery loyal soul
General Li, go all the way!" A line of tears kept circling in Fusu's eyes, and finally fell down accidentally.
General Wang Jian stroked his long beard and sighed softly. A kind of sadness and regret appeared on his heroic and resolute face. It was the sigh of grief that there was no hero in the world, and it was the regret of being invincible in his life. Failure to defeat Li Mu on the battlefield is always the biggest regret in Wang Jian's life!
"Give me a greeting General Li to heaven!" Wang Jian shouted in a deep voice. Suddenly, with Wang Jian taking the lead in bowing, the generals also knelt down solemnly to see the hero off. Even the large number of Qin soldiers standing around bowed to this opponent who had once hated him to the bone. The countless eyes were filled with boundless awe and regret!
Heroes deserve the highest honor!
In the scene where everyone kneeled, only Fusu was still staring at Li Mu's sudden appearance in the fire. There was a kind of hope in his eyes full of sighs, as if he was hoping that Li Mu could be reborn in the pure and hot flames like a phoenix in the fire. Unfortunately, until Li Mu's figure completely turned into a blazing fire, a miracle never happened! Fusu couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, letting the sadness and pity passion surge in his heart!
In the eyes of the Qin generals, in addition to awe and regret, there was also a kind of envy. Yes, as a general who was fighting on the battlefield, who could get such respect and honor from the enemy after his death, who would not have a passionate expectation from the heart?
Unfortunately, there is only one "God of War" after all, how many people in the world can surpass that huge height!?
The sky became even colder. In the flying snow and the shrill cold wind, the blazing flames finally slowly extinguished, and a famous general Li Mu finally turned into a cloud of dust.
The century of Qin's dominance has finally arrived!
*******
The news of Li Mu's death quickly reached the Zhao army camp, and it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Countless Zhao soldiers, hearing that Li Mu was dead, couldn't help but beat their chests and stamp their feet and burst into tears. Many Zhao army men who regarded Li Mu as their father as gods cried so hard that their eyes dripped from their eyes and touched the ground with their heads!
For a moment, the Zhao State military camp was filled with great sorrow and sorrow, and the huge military camp was quickly covered by crying and overwhelmed by tears!
That night, many of the Zhao army's tents fled overnight, leaving only a deserted tent; while the "Tiger-thorn" warriors who had been trained by Li Mu for nearly three years heard the bad news, the morale of the army immediately dispersed. After a night, they were scattered and scattered, leaving only an empty camp!
The morale of the army collapsed overnight!
The next day, when Zhao Cong heard the bad news, he was furious and immediately ordered a complete blockade of the camp and arrested deserters in an attempt to curb this unfavorable situation of collapse. However, as soon as Li Mu died, the Zhao army had lost all confidence and the military spirit was lost. Even if Zhao Cong had the ability to soar, it would be difficult to save it.
As a result, a large number of deserters fled from the military camp and returned to their hometown every day. They had completely lost their confidence in winning. Everyone was unable to protect their families!
At the same time, Wang Jian, Fusu and others, who heard the good news, were overjoyed and were deeply satisfied with the Zhao army's "cooperation". The experienced Wang Jian immediately sent a letter to King Ying Zheng 600 miles away, saying: "Li Mu is dead, Zhao Cong is incompetent, and the Zhao army has no combat power. It is only a matter of time to defeat Zhao. If the Lord can lead the army to fight in person, Handan can be defeated in person, and it is only a breeze to capture the King of Zhao!" He strongly recommended King Zheng of Qin to fight in person, in order to inspire the morale of the Qin army and defeat Zhao in one fell swoop!
King Ying Zheng of Qin in Xianyang Palace first received the news that Li Mu was dead. Before the great joy had passed, he got Wang Jian's personal letter and was overjoyed. So, the Qin King Zheng of Qin, who was in a hurry, immediately recruited 30,000 Xianyang Guards and rushed to Zhao with Li Si as the general. At the same time, he urgently ordered the general Han Teng, the general guarding Yingchuan County (formerly South Korea), to lead 100,000 troops to the South Korean front to reinforce the Zhao front.
For a time, Qin army reinforcements gathered, and tigers arrived, and they vowed to wipe out the Zhao State, a confidant!
*******
In the Qin army's camp, dozens of major generals gathered in the tent to prepare for the last battle against Zhao.
Although Wang Jian, who was sitting in the middle, his face was calm, but the corners of his mouth and eyebrows could not hide his joy and said, "Everyone, the king's imperial guards have set out from Xianyang and will arrive soon. General Han Teng's 100,000 reinforcements have also arrived south of the Zhangshui River and joined Yang Duan and General. Now, the situation of our army is very good and we can launch the final general attack on Zhao. What are the tricks of the generals, but it's okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tian responded and said, "Now the morale of the Zhao army is low and there are many flees. It is no longer a match for our Qin army! The plan was not to besiege Fanwu City and ambush the reinforcements of Huiquan Mountain on the way. The reasons are as follows: Because Huiquan Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and strong attack is not easy, it is better to mobilize a large army to attack Fanwu City. Fanwu's military strength is greatly damaged, and it is definitely difficult to resist our army's offensive alone. If Fanwu loses, the north gate of Handan will open, and the Huiquan Mountain camp will be unable to support it. Therefore, Zhao Cong will inevitably lead the army to support it, and our army will take the opportunity to fight the main force of the Zhao army on the way. We have few enemies, we are frustrated, and we are tired of the enemy, and we can win a complete victory in one battle!" Wang Jian couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this, and Fusu couldn't help but praise: "Meng Tian is young now, but he has already shown the talent of a general!"
At this moment, Wang Ben said, "I have different opinions. My strategy is to use most of the troops to attack Huiquan Mountain from all sides, and to restrain Fanwu's defenders with small forces. The reasons are as follows: Huiquan Mountain is the head of the Zhao army and the main support point of the Zhao army's battlefield. Although the original force is 150,000, the troops were defeated in the battle. In addition, there are many fleeing and there are no intention of fighting. Therefore, if the army is raised to attack fiercely, it can be defeated in one battle. At the same time, use a force to restrain his defenders under Fanwu City. If Fanwu Zhao army comes out, it will be destroyed in field battles. If our army does not leave, we can attack Huiquan Mountain with all our strength. As long as Huiquan Mountain is broken, the defense system of the Zhao army will collapse immediately, and Fanwu will be easily defeated!" The generals nodded when they heard Wang Ben's words, which sounded quite reasonable. Fusu was also secretly happy in his heart: "Yes, I am worthy of being the son of a famous general!"
Fusu looked at Li Xin who was thinking again, and smiled slightly and said, "Why did General Li not say a word? What's the point of defeating the enemy?"
Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "My meaning is different from Meng and General Wang. My strategy is to use an infantry as the main force to restrain Fanwu's defenders, and then send a large army to surround the Three Ques and one attack on Huiquan Mountain. As General Wang said, the Zhao army in Huiquan Mountain has been exhausted, and it will definitely be difficult to resist under our full attack. If Zhao Cong is smart, he will definitely abandon the camp and flee south, and our army is ready to follow the elite cavalry to pursue it. In this way, the defenders of Huiquan Mountain can be wiped out at a relatively small price. Once Huiquan Mountain is broken, Fanwu will be able to take advantage of it!"
Fusu scratched his head when he heard this, and felt a little dizzy, as if each had his own reasons and it was difficult to decide for a while. So he looked at Wang Jian, and Wang Jian was also looking at him. The smiling Wang Jian said with a look of inquiry: "Young master is smart, don't you know what you think?"
Fusu's army has produced experts, and recently he has been practicing Li Mu's military horses and his military strategy has become more mature. Seeing Wang Jian asking questions, he smiled and said, "General Meng said is a normal method of using troops. Even if he uses them, there may be a large number of casualties. This is a disadvantage. General Wang said that he is a bit dangerous. The entire army surrounded Huiquan Mountain from all sides. No matter whether he can attack or not, or when he will capture it, casualties alone may be an astronomical number. As for General Li Xin's words, he feels a little bit like a striking enemy general's belly with his own heart. If Zhao Cong would rather not escape and intend to defend the camp and our army to death, wouldn't it be worrying! Do you think so?"
When the generals heard this, they were upset. When Fusu said that he seemed to have no appreciation for the tactics of Meng Tian, Wang Ben and Li Xin. Could it be that he had any good ideas? Wang Jian also had a glimmer of his eyes when he heard this, and he smiled slightly and said, "Who is a good plan?"
Seeing Fusu refuting his opinion, Meng Tian and others felt a little unhappy, but they no longer dared to underestimate Fusu, so they pricked up their ears to hear what amazing plans Fusu had!
Fusu looked at the generals and smiled slightly and said, "My plan may be more complicated, but if it is used well, the casualties of our army should be very small. This plan is a chain plan. The first move is: immediately order Yang Duan and his troops to cross the Zhang River from northeast of Handan to attack Changshan and other places north of Fanwu, weakening the overall combat power of Zhao State, and leaving General Han Teng's troops to restrain Lian Yue's army.
The second move is: the main force of our army immediately went north to attack Langmeng County and other places, and conquered Taiyuan, Changshan and other places in the northern part of Zhao State in one fell swoop, cutting off the source of food and grass and troops of Zhao State.
Under these two moves, if Huiquan and the Zhao army on the front line of Fanwu sit on us and watch us attack, our army can successfully conquer the northern border of Zhao State. In this way, the Zhao army is left with only Handan, the two lonely city of Fanwu City and hundreds of miles around. The Zhao army was originally short of food this year, without food and grass inside, and without rescue troops outside. If Huiquan and Fanwu State Zhao army on the front line of Fanwu State, our army can set up an ambush in the middle to annihilate the last main force of the Zhao army. As long as Huiquan, the main force of the Zhao army on the front line of Fanwu is destroyed, the Zhao army will not only not be able to defend the northern border of Zhao State, but may even hand over.
Under such a series of plans, our army attacked the rear cities with weak forces in the Zhao army, and could also annihilate the main force of the Zhao army at the lowest cost. What do you think?"
When the generals were excited when they heard this, they couldn't help but look happy. Even Wang Jian laughed and said, "What the young master said is exactly what I mean. I didn't expect that the young master's plan was similar to what I planned!" When the generals heard that Wang Jian had the same plan, they couldn't help but admire him even more!
Fusu laughed in his heart: "This is very normal, because this strategy was created by your General Wang in history. I just made a little improvement!" He said with a humble face: "Where, where, although Fusu had such a plan, the details were still not as detailed as General Wang's. Therefore, the responsibility for issuing orders is expected to be borne by General Wang!"
Wang Jian nodded, and after thinking a little, he immediately issued a great order one by one, and the generals bowed their bodies to receive the order one by one. The image of the general who looked at him and commanded him in moderation could not help but admire Fusu!
*******
In the second day of the 228th AD, the sky was still cold, but the war smoke on the land of Jizhou rose again: the Qin general Wang Jian led 200,000 troops to attack Mengmeng in the north, and the offensive was very urgent; and the Qin general Yang Duanhe also bypassed the Handan defense line and advanced northward, heading towards Changshan. For a time, the northern border of Zhao State was in danger and was as if it was buried!
When the news reached Zhao's army camp, Zhao Cong urgently asked Deputy General Yan Ju for advice: "Now the Qin army is attacking the two places of Lang Mengchang Mountain. We should divide our troops into two groups and save them separately."
Yan Ju frowned and said, "Our army's new generals are not strong. If we join forces, we can still defend ourselves. If we divide the troops, we will definitely be weak, and we may be difficult to resist the Qin army."
While speaking, the spy came to report: Wang Jian's army attacked Lang Meng very quickly, and the city was destroyed only in the evening. Zhao Cong was shocked when he heard this, "When the Lang Meng was defeated, the Qin army would drive to Jingxing and attack Changshan together. In this way, Handan was in danger. We should send rescue soldiers quickly." He did not listen to Yan Ju's advice, and ordered the 100,000 Zhao troops in Huiquan Mountain to set up all the camps.
When the Zhao army was in operation, Wang Jian had already detected the reconnaissance, so he planned to 100,000 elite soldiers in the deep valley that the Zhao army must pass, waiting for the Zhao army to arrive. He also sent people to look at the Zhao army from the highest point in the local area, and the Zhao army made every move and everything was under the control of the Qin army.
On this day, just as Zhao Cong led Zhao soldiers to rush to Langmeng, he hurried into the deep valley without even taking a closer look. For a moment, Wang Jian and Fusu, who were located at the hidden place on the top of the mountain, couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted in his heart: "Zhao Congyongcai, you must die here this time!"
So after Zhao's army was halfway through, Wang Jian ordered to fire the cannon. The loud noise of "dongdongdong..." resounded continuously in the valley. When the 100,000 Qin army ambushed soldiers heard the signal, they suddenly jumped up, and roared like an agitation of lions and rushed out. The huge power and the rolling flags were as if the mountain collapsed and the earth was broken. The Zhao army was stunned.
With just one meal, the brave Qin army intercepted the chaotic Zhao Bing into two sections, killing the Zhao army, who was so devastated that the army was so mourning that the Zhao army cried and shouted to their parents, and ran away in a mess, and returned to the previous miserable appearance of losing in one battle and leaving in one blow. It was simply as brave and tenacious as Li Mu when he commanded the army.
Soon, Wang Jian, who saw the Zhao army's central army in the valley, personally led the main force of the central army, and thousands of troops came to kill them together. Zhao Cong, who was in a hurry to resist the fierce attack of the Qin army, hurriedly met the enemy, but it was difficult to stop the Qin army's sharpness and was quickly defeated. For a moment, the Zhao army was bleeding, and the dead and wounded, and the canyon was red!
Seeing that Zhao Cong was not his head, he was well-behaved and immediately led his close guard to flee outside the valley. With dozens of blue scarf strong men as the vanguard, he bravely cut off the Qin army's offensive and saw that he was about to break through the encirclement. At this moment, Zhao Cong suddenly felt a sudden sound of hoof bells behind his head. When he looked back, he was the Qin general Wang Jian roaring and roaring, chasing him in person.
Seeing that Wang Jian was coming quickly, Zhao Cong could not avoid it, so he had to hold his head and hold his gun back to fight back. Old Wang Jian waved his halberd and shook his vigor and hugged the vigor. With only three roars, he heard a powerful and thunderous sound. The halberd danced a violent fierce wind in the air, and killed Zhao Cong on his horse with one blow.
The Zhao army, which was originally extremely chaotic, was even more unwilling to fight when they saw that the chief general was dead, so they threw away their guns and armor, fled in all directions. Yan Ju, the deputy general of the Zhao army, dared not fight, and hurriedly led thousands of remaining troops to break through the encirclement to death. Even Fanwu did not dare to go back, so he rushed back to Handan to report to the King of Zhao.
Therefore, in this battle, the Qin army wiped out the last 100,000 main forces of the Zhao army. The Zhao State has reached the end of its destruction!
A few days later, Wang Jian led a large army north to join Li Xin's troops under Langmeng City, and took Langmeng easily in just three days. Then the army advanced from Jingxing to capture the city. At this time, Yang Duanhe had also captured Changshan and other places. In this way, except for the northernmost Dai County, the northern part of Zhao had fallen.
In early March, more than 300,000 main force of the Qin army went south from the north of Zhao State, and the troops were pointed directly at Fanwu. Zhao Gan, general of Zhao State, led more than 30,000 Fanwu's defenders to fight for three days. Finally, due to the great loss of morale and the huge difference in military strength, Zhao Gan died for his country.
After Fanwu fell, the north of Handan had completely opened its doors. Therefore, the Qin army did not neglect and immediately drove the army to attack Handan. The Zhao general Lian Yue, who was guarding the southern line of Handan and confronting Han Teng's troops, was shocked when he heard the news. He quickly led his army to retreat north from the Zhang River, trying to retreat to Handan to defend. However, on the way, he was attacked by 60,000 elite cavalry under Fusu and Li Xin, and all the 50,000 troops were killed in battle. Lian Yue vowed to die and committed suicide.
Since then, all the barriers around Handan were lost and the army was destroyed, leaving only an isolated city, and it was besieged by the fierce Qin army of more than 400,000, so it was impossible to cross the birds!
