- "It is said that the Han people have the advantages of the Han people. At least Sun Tzu's Art of War is a very good book. In the future, we must learn more like the Han people and use the Han people's methods. We can also become emperors ourselves. At this time, it is us When the Qiang people rise in one fell swoop. ¨JDing Dian Novel, do you understand?¡±
"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away." Mi Dang said with a smile.
¡¡
Xu Shu returned to the hall of the prefect's mansion, met with Xiahou Yuan, and informed Xia Houyuan about Cheliji's dispatch of troops, but concealed the matter of giving Cheliji a day's food. If he told Xia Houyuan about this matter, I'm afraid it would be strange if Xia Houyuan didn't look for trouble because of his temper.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"Go attack Ma Chao and Wang Shuang, and then ambush them."
"How many troops and horses will you bring?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"Except for Zhang Xiu's troops, all the others will be taken away."
"Zhang Xiu is a general, why not take him with him?" Xia Houyuan asked.
"Ma Chao is Zhang Xiu's old master. I'm worried that Zhang Xiu won't be able to take action when he sees Ma Chao. If Ma Chao meets Zhang Xiu and persuades him to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom, wouldn't we lose more than we gain? So, just leave Zhang Xiu to defend the city. They left food and grass for ten days, and we took away all the food and grass. Even if Zhang Xiu rebelled, it wouldn't matter. Taking Didao City would bring us no loss. Our goal is Jicheng, and capturing Jicheng is the most critical. There is our food stored there. With that food and grass, we can continue to gain a foothold in Liangzhou, even if we go into the mountains and fight the Chinese army for a long time," Xu Shu analyzed.
After hearing this, Xia Houyuan chuckled and said, "The strategist has a clever plan. Then proceed according to the strategist's plan."
The two of them had reached a consensus and immediately issued an order, leaving Zhang Xiu to guard the city. He took away all the food and grass and told Zhang Xiu that he would surely return with a great victory in three days or seven days, and asked Zhang Xiu to defend the city.
And the other side. Xu Shu secretly sent someone to distribute some food and grass to Cheliji, and all of Cheliji's 200,000 troops also headed in the direction of Fanhan. In this way, Xu Shu was relieved.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji stood on the tower of Didao City, looking at Xia Houyuan leading the army towards Baishi Mountain, and asked: "De Rong, in your opinion, Xia Houyuan left our army alone to defend the city, and why?" He took away all the food and grass in the city. Are you suspicious of us?"
Zhang Ji said: "Not necessarily. It should be that the general is afraid that the general will defect after seeing General Tian, ??so he left us. They should not find out the secret between us, and it is impossible to find out."
"Then what should we do now? The Qiang people and Xia Houyuan have all sent out their troops, and we will defend the empty city alone?" Zhang Xiu asked.
Zhang Ji said: "My subordinates believe that the general should not move lightly and should wait and see what happens. Our army and horses should play a role in turning the tide. The war has just begun. It is not the time for us to decide the outcome. We will continue to lurk in the Wei army." It¡¯s not bad for us.¡±
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and continue to lurk. But I don't know what's going on with Meng Qi. Xu Shu is a powerful character. Can Meng Qi deal with Xu Shu's plot?" Zhang Xiu said worriedly.
??Puhan City.
A cold morning. Pang De was still standing on the city wall enjoying the sunshine. Suddenly, a captain ran up from under the city tower. The captain ran to Pound's side and reported in a panic: "General, from the west A large number of Qiang are coming from the west. People. At a glance, there are tens of thousands, approaching the west gate. "
"The Qiang people? They came so fast. Come with me and have a look." Pang De had expected it, but what he didn't expect was that the Qiang people would come so fast.
All the way from the east gate to the west gate, Pang De climbed onto the tower, only to see a mass of black people on the white snowfield. A large number of Qiang people pushed strange-shaped carts and ran forward.
Pang De felt strange, so he looked over with a telescope, and saw that the Qiang people used four camels or four mules to pull chariots. The chariots were covered with nails wrapped in iron leaves, and a sharp blade came from Surrounding the chariot on three sides, there are ten Qiang people standing on it, wearing iron helmets and armor. Five of them are holding spears, and five of them are holding bows and arrows. They are showing off their power and look quite different.
"This what is this?" Pound asked in surprise after seeing it.
There was a captain next to him who was from Liangzhou. He immediately borrowed a telescope from Pang De and took a look. He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said to Pang De: "General, these are Zhong Cunqiang's elite troops, named Iron Chariot Soldiers. They are fighting." They are invincible in all directions, it seems that the Qiang people are serious this time.¡±
"Iron Chariot Soldiers?" Pound asked suspiciously, then took the telescope and looked over again. He saw that there were other Iron Chariot Soldiers with different decorations on the two wings. However, he saw that the Iron Chariot Soldiers on the two wings were slightly different from the one in the middle. Peripherals are still usedThe difference is that the iron leaf-wrapped nails are not blades, but crossbows distributed on three sides, and the crossbows on the three sides are all facing the same direction. There is a person standing on the car, probably the person in charge of the control, pulling it with two camels. , coming all the way along the Daxia River.
The Daxia River is a branch of the Yellow River and was named Lishui in ancient times. It originates from the northern and southern foothills of the Dabreheka Mountains at the junction of Gansu and Qinghai in the Gannan Plateau. The southern source is Sangquchooka and the northern source is Da Naang. After they merged together, they were called Daxia River. It flows from west to east, passing through Baishi, Wuhan, Daxia, and Didao, and finally merges into the Tao River. The Qiang people are active in the Xiqing Mountain area. At this time, due to the cold weather, the Daxia River was frozen three feet high. You can ride all the way on the ice. The county town of Wuhan is built near mountains and rivers, and the Daxia River is in the northwest of Wuhan City, and the west gate also opens along the Daxia River.
After Pang De watched the Qiang soldiers, he immediately shouted: "Who cares about the iron chariot soldiers, I have to beat them to pieces."
After saying that, Pang De wanted to go down from the tower.
Seeing this, the captain under his command hurriedly consoled him: "General, please don't act rashly. These iron chariot soldiers have their own advantages, which cannot be resisted by human flesh. The Qiang people have sent out such advantageous soldiers, as long as they are not allowed to get close to the city wall."
"How can you hold the position of captain if you are as timid as a mouse? Come here, temporarily imprison Jiang Jiong for me. It will cholera the morale of the army. After I repel the enemy soldiers, I will come back and punish him severely!" Pang De said angrily.
Captain Jiang Kuan was twenty-seven or eighty years old, about the same age as Pang De. He was a native of Jicheng, Hanyang County. He was originally a small pavilion chief in the Wei army. Three years ago, he fled with his family because he was impressed by the strength of the Chinese army. He went to Liangzhou and joined the Huaxia Kingdom. Later, he joined the Northwest Army. When resisting the invasion of the Wei army and the Qiang people, he killed a Qiang tribe commander and was awarded the title of captain for his military exploits.
When Jiang Jiong saw that Pound didn't listen to his advice, he could only sigh, but he had no complaints. Taken voluntarily.
Pang De immediately ordered three thousand horsemen, opened the city gate, and set up a formation outside the west gate, waiting for the Qiang people to arrive.
The leader of the Qiang people was Chelixiang, the younger brother of King Cheliji of Western Qiang. He rode a horse and walked behind the iron chariot soldiers. He saw the Chinese army setting up their formation outside the city from a distance, so he ordered the iron chariot soldiers to The chariots and soldiers temporarily stopped advancing.
So. The iron chariot soldiers immediately divided into two groups, and Che Lixiang led a large number of cavalry out of the middle of the iron chariot soldiers, and came out opposite Pound.
The two armies were facing each other. Che Lixiang looked from a distance, but when he saw that the Chinese army had a neat lineup, he laughed and said to the commanders behind him: "The Chinese army is nothing more than that!"
One of the Qu commanders said: "Commander. The one in front is Pang De from the Northwest Army. I heard that he is very skilled in martial arts. He is very courageous and should not be underestimated."
Che Lixiang sneered and said, "What can you do to me?"
While he was talking, Pang De rode out on horseback, wielding a broadsword, pointed at Che Lixiang and shouted: "Hey! Wu Na Rong Di. Do you recognize your Grandpa Pang?"
Cherixiang rode his horse forward, picked up a spear, and said with a smile: "What a loud tone. You look like you are going to fight me alone?"
"So what? I'm afraid you, a rat like you, don't dare to challenge me!"
"You are just a rat. How can I, Cherixiang, the great commander of the Xiqiang, be afraid of you? Come on!" Cherixiang swung the spear in his hand and was about to fight.
"Commander, don't underestimate the enemy, Pang De" his subordinate Qu Shuai hurriedly rode to Che Lixiang's side and reminded him.
"Shut up! Do you dare to raise others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Are you tired of life? Back off!" Che Lixiang shouted.
Qu Shuai had no choice but to retreat.
"Watch me take your dog's head!" Che Lixiang sandwiched the horse's belly with his legs and immediately rushed forward.
Pang De showed no sign of weakness, clapping his horse and wielding his sword, and went straight to Che Lixiang.
The two horses intersected, and Pound and Cherixiang wielded their weapons at the same time. However, they heard a "dang" sound of weapons clashing, and then a "click" sound was heard. Pound waved a sword made of fine steel and struck the sword with one blow. The iron spear in Che Lixiang's hand was cut in half.
Che Lixiang was shocked. He didn't expect Pound's weapon to be so sharp. Seeing Pound slashing at him, he quickly pulled out the golden scimitar he was wearing on his waist and directly blocked Pound's sword. In the first round So it passed.
Pang De saw that the golden sword in Che Lixiang's hand was extremely valuable, so he wanted to snatch it away. He turned the horse's head and ran towards Che Lixiang again, hoping to kill Che Lixiang with a knife, and then seize the golden sword in his hand.
Cheri Yoshiyori used his golden sword to protect himself, but when he saw Pound charging at him eagerly, and his own arm was numb from the shock of Pound's knife just now, he realized how powerful Pound was. He had a plan in mind and immediately rode away, secretly taking out his bow and arrows and luring Pound to chase him.
Who would have known that Pound actually reined in the horse, not being fooled, he thoughtAngry, he released a secret arrow and shot one towards Pang De.
Pang De waved his sword and cut the arrow shot by Cherixiang into two pieces with one stroke. It fell directly to the ground with a look of contempt on his face, which made Cherixiang very upset.
"It's a small skill, if you still have any skills, just use them!" Pound stood up with his sword drawn and said with great authority.
Che Lixiang was filled with anger and said, "Don't be so arrogant. I'll show you how powerful I am in a moment."
With that said, Che Lixiang ran back to the main formation and said to his subordinate Qu Shuai: "Send the order and let the iron chariot soldiers attack!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Then, the whimpering horn sounded, and the cavalry of Che Lixiang and others scattered aside, and the chariot soldiers behind them drove forward one after another, without any formation at all.
After Pang De saw it, he didn't think so. Thinking about how powerful his own armor was, why should he be afraid of these iron weapons? Seeing the Qiang soldiers rushing over in a disorderly manner, and seeing their troops in a neat formation, the message of victory was even more confirmed.
After a while, three thousand chariot soldiers gathered on the front battlefield, and there were many chariot soldiers behind who had not yet appeared. Che Lixiang shouted at Pound: "Pound kid, just watch, I won't bully you. Let's have three thousand versus three thousand, let's see if I let you taste the power of my chariot soldiers."
"Hmph! Just let the horses come over, why bother?" With that, Pound retreated into the formation, blocked by the shield soldiers in front, and the cavalry were scattered on both wings. He personally commanded 250 cavalry on the left wing. The 250 cavalrymen on the right wing were put under the command of their subordinates, and the 2,500 infantrymen in the middle stood in order, ready.
After looking at it, Che Lixiang laughed coldly. He waved the golden sword in his hand forward and shouted: "Attack!"
Give an order. Three hundred iron chariot soldiers lined up in a row and rushed forward in a straight line.
The driver in the front was driving a chariot, and the archers on the chariot behind began to draw their bows and arrows, and as soon as they entered the shooting range, they immediately released arrows.
The Chinese army used shields to cover their side, and the crossbowmen were holding their repeating crossbows, aiming at the iron chariot soldiers rushing in front, waiting for them to enter the shooting range.
Three hundred chariots pulled 3,000 iron chariot soldiers standing on the chariots. He rushed over so quickly that the earth trembled.
Seeing this, Pound hurriedly shouted: "Prepare the ballista - let go!"
At the end of the team, ten giant crossbow vehicles have been set up. Small bags are tied to the huge crossbow arrows. After the fuses are lit, they are launched into the sky and over the heads of the Chinese soldiers in front. It flew out directly, but the range was shorter. The shot did not hit the iron chariot soldiers, but fell in front of the iron chariot soldiers.
After Che Lixiang looked at it, he laughed and said: "The Chinese army is nothing more than that. They can't even shoot as well as me. How can they fight with me?"
At this moment, when the iron chariot soldiers passed by. The bag that fell on the ground suddenly exploded.
"Boom!"
Loud noises exploded around the chariot soldiers. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen of the vehicles were blown over, and even the wheels of the vehicles were blown off. The horses and camels were even more frightened. They rushed around, and some iron chariot soldiers standing on the chariots were immediately stabbed to death by their own three-sided iron chariots as soon as they fell down.
After looking at it, Che Lixiang's eyes widened, and he cursed in anger.
Pound took his time and saw that the chariot soldiers had entered the range of the repeating crossbow, so he immediately ordered: "Fire the arrows!"
At the command, the crossbow arrows were fired in succession, and the sound of "swish, swish, swish" kept ringing in everyone's ears. Although the battlefield was filled with Qiang arrows, the Chinese army's crossbow arrows were also as dense as locusts, heading directly towards the chariot. The mules, horses and camels were shot away.
After a row of arrows were fired, more than thirty chariots were shot down.
However, there were still more than 200 chariots charging forward, and the archers on the chariots also began to shoot non-stop. The arrows hit the cavalry in a targeted manner, and dozens of cavalry were shot down. At this time, the iron chariot soldiers rushed over angrily. Although many mules and horses were hit by arrows, they still ran in pain and directly collided with the Chinese army's infantry phalanx.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the two armies connected. The Chinese soldiers blocking the first row were immediately knocked away. Their bones were broken and blood was vomited from the mouth. Only then did the iron chariot soldiers show their true power, with blades on three sides. , many soldiers were scratched wherever they passed. The spearmen standing on it specially stabbed the vital parts of the soldiers, and the archers also kept shooting accurately.
For a time, the infantry phalanx was directly disrupted.
"Surround us!" Pang De was surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that such a huge deficit would occur after being approached by the iron chariot soldiers.
Following Pound¡¯s order, the cavalry and infantry began to attack??Surrounded the iron chariot troops.
Suddenly, the Qiang people occupied an open space after a burst of fighting among the Chinese army. They saw the Qiang soldiers connecting the iron chariots end to end, with the chariots lined with weapons facing outwards on three sides. The soldiers jumped down from the chariots and all gathered together. In a circle, it looks like a city.
Pang De and others could not get close, so they only needed to shoot with repeating crossbows, and the Qiang soldiers also began to counterattack with arrows, which had completely disrupted the Chinese army's formation.
Che Lixiang looked at it from a distance and was immediately overjoyed. He waved his golden sword forward, and the iron chariot soldiers equipped with powerful crossbows distributed on both wings immediately flew out, with three hundred on each side, surging towards Pang De and others like a tide. go.
"General, the Qiang soldiers are coming with another six hundred chariots" The captain next to Pound saw it and hurriedly came to report to Pound.
Pound turned around and saw the iron chariot soldiers coming like a tide, and there was a group of Qiang soldiers in his formation. He saw Che Lixiang grinning in the distance, but he could not attack the iron chariot soldiers at all. He gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Withdraw troops and return to the city!"
Before the order could be conveyed, the Qiang soldiers' 600 iron chariots all galloped over. The chariot suddenly stopped moving, and the camels, mules and horses pulling the chariot turned around. At this time, the chariots were The Qiang soldiers began to cut a rope with their swords, and the twenty crossbows tied to the chariot immediately fired all the crossbow arrows.
Six hundred chariots. Twenty crossbows on each tank were fired together, attacking from both sides. Tens of thousands of crossbows were fired at once, and all the short crossbow arrows were fired flatly, specifically at the back of the soldiers' necks. They are all shot through the throat.
With just one shot of the crossbow, Pang De and others suffered almost all casualties, and horses and soldiers fell one after another.
The Qiang soldiers' iron chariot soldiers changed their direction again, and the soldiers followed suit and fired the crossbow machine from the other side, and thousands of crossbows fired simultaneously.
"Wow" The soldiers of the Chinese Army were attacked from the front and back by the iron chariot soldiers, suffering heavy casualties. Only a few hundred of the three thousand horsemen were left, and each of them escaped with injuries. Extremely embarrassed.
The chariot soldiers did not pursue them. They only pursued them with arrows and shot dozens of people. Only fifty-three people actually fled back to the city. Even Pang De entered the city on foot. His horse fell to the ground with his back There is also a crossbow arrow stuck on it. Fortunately, the crossbow arrow did not penetrate the steel armor, but the arrowhead was embedded in the steel armor. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
Climbing the city tower again, I saw the Qiang soldiers dragging away all the corpses of the Chinese army one by one, and then lining them up on the snow. Then they cut off the heads one by one with scimitars, and impaled the heads with spears. . Standing on the ground, his eyes revealed a look of disdain.
When the Chinese soldiers standing on the city wall saw this, they were all filled with indignation. Seeing the Qiang people's behavior, several captains all surrounded them. They all asked for a fight.
Pound saw the Qiang people lining up their chariot soldiers in a row. Looking from a distance, the dark area looked like a city wall with weapons. Even if the cavalry and infantry attacked together, they would be unable to attack.
He frowned, feeling a little at a loss for the first time. He turned around and asked, "How many more are there in the army?"
"There are not many left, there are about a hundred left."
"More than a hundredhehehehow is this enough?" Pang De couldn't help but sneered when he saw the Qiang people arriving in the mountains and plains outside the city one after another.
There are at least tens of thousands of Qiang people. In order to quickly attack Panhan this time, Pang De only brought 10,000 soldiers. Now nearly 3,000 people have died, which makes everyone feel embarrassed.
The Chinese army has always been invincible and is known for its sharp weapons and sturdy equipment. However, this time it attacked Wei. Wei's armor-piercing cones were extremely sharp and could penetrate their armor. The armor they wore had also been improved and could It is really difficult to defend against the attack of steel weapons and now encounter this group of Qiang iron chariot soldiers.
"General, please allow us to go out and fight the enemy to the death!" Many captains asked for orders together.
"I can't win, how much less you?" Pang De refused, "Bring Jiang Ji here, I want to ask him something."
Not long after, Jiang Ji was brought over. Seeing that Jiang Ji was still tied up, Pound hurriedly untied Jiang Ji himself and said, "Captain Jiang, I regret your words so much that I sent out three thousand troops, but only a few. Ten people are back, that iron chariot soldier is indeed what you said, he really can't stand you."
Jiang Ji said: "General, you don't have to be like this"
"Captain Jiang, since you know how powerful this iron chariot soldier is, you must have a way to crack it. I wonder if Captain Jiang can tell me?" Pang De asked.
Jiang Jiu looked embarrassed at that time and said: "General, although Jiang Jiu knows that the iron chariot soldiers are very powerful, he doesn't knowI'm afraid the chariot soldiers' method of cracking it won't be able to help the general. However, once the Qiang people attack the city with iron chariot soldiers, they only need to keep the iron chariot soldiers away from the city wall. "
"What if you are approached?" Pang De asked.
"Then we have to retreat. Otherwise, with the speed of the iron chariots attacking the city gate and destroying the city wall, if our army does not retreat in time, we may be trapped in a tight siege."
After hearing Jiang Ji's answer, Pang De looked outside again, but saw that Che Lixiang was confident and happy, while the soldiers of the iron chariot soldiers stayed where they were to rest, so he asked Jiang Ji: "How can I save this county?" But is there anything else dangerous?"
Jiang Ji thought for a while and replied: "There is only Laoya Pass! The first pass on the Daxia River is thirty miles east of Wuhan City. As long as the thick ice on the Daxia River is broken, the Laoya Pass area can restore its former rapid flow. If the water flows, even if he has a hundred thousand chariot soldiers, he will not be able to cross it. "
"It's so magical? Why didn't I see it when I came here?" Pound asked.
"Now it's three feet frozen. The city of Wuhan was originally an extremely dangerous place. Relying on the water flow of the Daxia River and the hillside behind it, the iron chariot soldiers couldn't attack it, but now it's frozen. If the iron chariot soldiers really want to attack Wuhan will inevitably circle from the river to the back, attack from both sides day and night, and I am afraid that Wuhan City will be captured soon. Although it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. After being attacked, the city wall is in dilapidated condition. It only takes one day and night to knock down the city wall. Laoya Pass is different. The city wall of Laoya Pass is made of stone. If it can be cut through the ice, it will be a dangerous pass. "
After hearing this, Pang De thought for a while and said: "I understand what you mean. If we stick to Fanhan and are harassed by the Qiang people, we will not be able to break through the ice. If we retreat to Laoyaguan, we will have enough time to do it. Ready, right?¡±
"right!"
Pang De smiled and said, "Well, the whole army will assemble. We will retreat thirty miles and retreat to Laoya Pass."
Give an order. The entire army began to assemble nervously, and all the remaining more than 7,000 soldiers and horses withdrew from Pohan City. However, in order to prevent the Qiang people from pursuing them, Pang De established a suspicious formation and did not remove the banner.
Outside the city, the iron chariot soldiers were resting, and Che Lixiang surrounded them with iron chariot soldiers. For fear that the people on the tower would know the weakness of the iron chariot soldiers, many soldiers were busy tying together the crossbows under the iron wall. The weakness of the iron chariot soldiers is that camels, mules and horses consume too much physical strength. Such a heavy chariot, with people standing on it, would definitely tire out the animals if they were to be pulled and run. Therefore, every time the chariot soldiers walked for a period of time, they would stop and rest for a part of the time, so as not to let the animals pulling the chariots get a good rest. However, during the actual march, in order to reduce the weight of the animals, the soldiers generally rode on horseback. war horse.
When nomadic people send troops, they usually carry two war horses each, and they can keep changing them on the road. Of course, this is under ideal circumstances. This time Cherixiang went out with the iron chariot troops. Basically, there were very few cavalry. Among the 30,000 troops, there were only more than 5,000 cavalry. The rest were infantry, but there were many animals. There are 2,500 chariots for the Iron Chariots, which cost a lot of money. Each chariot requires four camels or four mules and horses to pull. Including those replaced halfway, there are a total of 20,000 animals to pull. Carrying chariots. Therefore, every time the iron chariot soldiers travel, looking from a distance, the team is very huge.
"Commander! There is no one left in the city of Panhan. This behavior has been going on for a long time. Is it because Pound is afraid of us and has retreated?" A commander discovered something unusual in the city of Panhan. He hurriedly said to Che Lixiang.
Che Lixiang looked from a distance and saw that the Chinese flag was still on the city wall and fluttering in the wind, but no one could see it. He said: "This must be Pang De's plan to lure the enemy deeper. He wants us to think they are They all left, then relaxed their vigilance and marched into the city. In fact, they set up an ambush in the city to wait for our troops. They were just doing nothing. They continued to repair the chariot and prepare for the battle. They will attack Panhan later. "
Qu Shuai nodded, knowing that both Qiang kings Cheliji and Chelixiang liked to read some Han Chinese art of war, and they had always been their backbone, so he did not refute and issued the order.
However, when the Qiang people repaired the chariot and fixed everything, they still could not see any movement from the Chinese army.
Che Lixiang was suspicious, so he sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance. Who knows not long after, the scouts reported that Pang De's army had already left for a long time, and Wuhan was already an empty city.
"Niang Xipi! The more you learn the art of war, the more chaotic the Han people become. If you didn't learn the art of war, I would have rushed over long ago. Where would there be a chance for Pound to escape? Where did he escape?" Che Lixiang asked.
"It seems to be heading towards Laoyaguan."
"Chase! If you catch up with them, you must?Pound's head sacrifice flag. "Che Lixiang said angrily.
Commander Qu hurriedly advised: "Commander, it's too late now and it's not appropriate to mobilize the troops. Why don't we wait until early tomorrow morning to mobilize the troops?"
"It's getting late? It's only noon now, so why is it getting late?"
"Commander, by the time we reach Laoyaguan, it will be getting late. We will be exhausted and we will not be able to send troops. Let's do it tomorrow!"
Although Che Lixiang was reluctant, he felt that what Qu Shuai said was right, so he said: "Okay, let Pound live one more day."
In the evening, Pound led more than 7,000 troops to retreat to the Laoyaguan area. There were a few Wei troops stationed here. Seeing Pound leading the army, they fled upon hearing the news. Pound and others then occupied Laoyaguan.
?? Laoyaguan is actually a fort with a limited capacity for soldiers. If it is in the summer, when the Daxia River flows rapidly, this is indeed a dangerous pass. The waves are crashing on the shore next to it, so the fort is built accordingly. It is really easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, it is a pity that it is winter now, and the Daxia River is three feet frozen. The ice surface is frozen, and thousands of horses can gallop.
Once entering Laoyaguan, two thousand people could barely accommodate it. However, there were still more than 5,000 people who could not enter Laoyaguan, so Pound divided some of his people to camp on the mountain diagonally opposite Laoyaguan, and he and Laoyaguan were at odds with each other, and he personally led some of his people to dig the ice.
"However, the ice layer is very thick, and it is too laborious to dig in bit by bit. So Jiang Ji came up with an idea to make a hole first. Then pour boiling water in, melting a layer of ice, and you can see the water flowing under the ice layer.
"Captain Jiang, is this too slow? Is there anything faster?" Pang De asked after seeing it.
Jiang Ji thought for a while and said, "General, I have a method. I wonder if the general dares to use it?"
"What are you afraid of? Say it!" Pang De said.
Jiang Ji said: "The Daxia River flows here. So it changed its course to the south. We are now on the east bank of the Daxia River. If Chelixiang pursues from Panhan tomorrow, he must cross the river first. We can use it to hide in the ice. below, and then use a long fuse to connect them one by one under the ice. When the iron chariot soldiers cross the river, we will light the fuse. By then, we will definitely explode the ice, and the iron chariot soldiers will be able to do so. They all fell into the Daxia River. As long as the iron chariot soldiers are defeated, the Qiang people have nothing to fear."
After hearing this, Pang De visually measured the width of the Daxia River. He immediately said: "This is a good plan. You can bury the remaining ones separately and bomb them in many places. It is bound to make those iron chariot soldiers and the Qiang people all fall into the Daxia River!"
The plan had been decided, and everyone immediately started to arrange it. They first dug out the ice, then buried it, and then made a lead wire. They began to connect the series together, and then covered the lead wire with some bark and covered it with white snow. as a cover.
After all the preparations were done, Pang De and others went back to have a good rest.
The next day, before dawn, the whimpering horns sounded from outside Laoya Pass. The Chinese army had been prepared for a long time. As soon as they heard the horn sound, they immediately stood up and the soldiers quickly boarded the pass. , looking outside, I saw a dark side of people on the other side of the Daxia River, and the white snow turned into black. In this darkest time before dawn, I looked from a distance and couldn't see the end. I didn't know how many soldiers and horses were coming. .
Pang De climbed up the city tower and saw a large number of soldiers and horses deployed on the other side of the river. He said: "I didn't expect the Qiang people to come so fast"
On the west bank of the Daxia River, Che Lixiang was gathering troops and horses. When he saw the lonely small town of Laoyaguan from a distance, he sneered. He thought secretly in his heart: "If it were normal, maybe I would praise you for being smart, but it is winter now, the Daxia River is three feet frozen, and the army can pass directly over the ice. You are hiding in Laoya Pass, even though the city wall is strong , you can't stand my constant attacks day and night, let's see how long you can hide"
"Commander, the enemy has occupied Laoya Pass. The terrain there is dangerous. Even if we cross the river, there is no guarantee that we will be able to capture the city."
"Asshole! As long as you cross the Daxia River, it is easy to attack the city. The Chinese army was frightened by our chariot soldiers, otherwise they would not have retreated yesterday. Stop saying these sarcastic words, urge the chariot soldiers behind to speed up, and then Take a short rest and attack again after dawn." Cheri Xiang said.
"Why don't you attack now? The commander-in-chief just said that soldiers need speed" Qu Shuai asked with a cold face.
"Now our soldiers are tired and have no horses. We have to march thirty miles away. It doesn't matter to us. But the iron chariot soldiers are different. We need to let them rest. There is still half an hour before dawn. Let's take a good rest for half an hour before we launch another attack. With a general attack, we can conquer Laoyaguan in one fell swoop. If we attack now, the enemy will not be able to see the majesty of our iron chariot soldiers. What if they can be scared away??Who knows if the enemy troops have laid any traps or something like that? How can they tell the difference in the dark at this time? "Although Cheriyoshi learned Sun Tzu's art of war, his head is like a wooden fish head, which is not as good as his brother Cheriyoshi. He was able to become a general because of Cheriyoshi's relationship. In addition, he is particularly good at talking on paper.
Qu Shuai was so embarrassed by Che Lixiang's words that he turned around and left. As he left, he muttered: "What's the air? It's weird that you can become a commander without relying on the relationship with the Qiang King"
Che Lixiang heard Qu Shuai mutter something, but he didn¡¯t hear what he said, so he immediately asked: "What are you talking about? Why don¡¯t you hurry up and urge the iron chariot soldiers to arrive?"
"Nonothingyes, Marshal." Qu Shuai hurriedly walked away dejectedly.
On the gate of Laoyaguan, Pang De saw the Qiang soldiers gathering continuously, but he did not attack and didn't know what he was doing. He looked up at the sky, estimated the time for dawn, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Get ready to go out of the city to fight in a while. You go and notify Jiang Jiong and let them get ready on the mountain. When they see the signal I send, they will immediately leave from the mountain." Come out from behind."
"No!"
The two armies faced each other across the river, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. Che Lixiang and others had all assembled and rested on the river bank for a long time, and then they began to get ready to move.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the Qiang's chariot soldiers gradually came to rest. Che Lixiang couldn't wait to get on his horse, drew out the golden sword from his waist, and began to direct the chariot soldiers to arrange themselves on the front line. There, just waiting for Che Lixiang's order.
Pound did not dare to show weakness, so he led a thousand men to form a formation on the river bank, and then divided the thousand men into ten teams, with each hundred men forming a column, and arranged them at ten different locations on the river bank. After the arrangement was completed, one team was changed into two teams. One of the people quickly got out and squatted down, and began to take out the fire folder from his arms, ready to light a fire at any time.
On the other side of the hillside, Jiang Jiong and other five thousand people were waiting in full formation. Seeing the two armies facing each other, he gathered all the other four captains together and discussed: "Thanks to the general's trust, let me temporarily serve as the captain." I am responsible for commanding this surprise attack. Thanks to all of you, I, Jiang Ji, am here today. Therefore, I still need to rely on you for today¡¯s battle. After the success of the surprise attack, I, Jiang Ji, will not take any of the credit.¡±
"Captain Jiang, when you say this, don't you chill the hearts of all the brothers? Everyone can see clearly along the way from Wuhan to Laoyaguan. Captain Jiang, your contribution is not small, and you can be said to be both wise and brave. This time The surprise attack was also what you suggested to the general. Regardless of victory or defeat, all five of us captains will share it equally!" said one of the captains.
"Yes, this is only fair. We have only brothers in the Northwest Army, no interests!" the other three captains said together.
Jiang Ji said: "Well, your words are enough. As soon as the ice explodes, we will quickly launch a surprise attack and go around behind the Qiang people. We will kill the Qiang people ruthlessly and wipe away any bad luck."
"No!"
Che Lixiang has completely assembled a large army and arranged the chariot soldiers in a charge formation. The first row is 300 vehicles, the second row is 500 vehicles, and the third row is all the chariot soldiers and Qiang cavalry. They are still scattered on the two wings.
"Blow the charge horn!" Seeing that Cherixiang was ready, Pound arranged for a thousand people to stand on the ice. He didn't care. Anyway, he didn't find anything unusual, so he just rushed over all at once. It would be frightening. Scaring people to death.
The whimpering horn was blown, and the melodious horn sound spread in all directions, extremely fast.
After the Qiang people heard the horn sound, they immediately became energetic and knew that it was the charge. So, the three hundred chariot soldiers arranged in the first row rushed forward quickly, with ten people standing on each chariot. , each chariot was pulled by six mules and began to gallop across the ice of the Daxia River.
Not long after the first row of chariot soldiers rushed out, the second and third rows also moved forward in full swing, and 20,000 soldiers were pulled on the chariot, marching towards Pound and others in a mighty and mighty manner. People were running away. And Che Lixiang showed no sign of weakness. He waved his golden sword forward, and the cavalry scattered on both wings also rushed forward quickly, guarding the iron chariot soldiers on both sides.
Thirty thousand Qiang soldiers all rushed over. The momentum of the galloping horses shocked Pang De and others when they saw it. (To be continued). - Didn't finish reading?
