The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Chapter 163

You Bopu learned that the Wei army occupying Qicheng was only a small army, so he immediately led the army to Qicheng with high morale, as if he would not return until Qicheng was recaptured.

You Bopu looked at the map for a while and ordered: "Zi Bi, you lead the front army to Qicheng first. After arriving at Qicheng, do not attack the city immediately. You lead the troops to occupy the high city to the north of Qicheng."

Zi Bi asked: "General, why do you want to occupy it?"

You Bopu explained: "This place is high and can prevent the arrival of enemy reinforcements. Moreover, if we occupy this place, even if our army does not recapture Qicheng, we can gather here to block the enemy's forward attack!"

After understanding, Zi Bi bowed and said: "General, rest assured, I will definitely occupy this place!"

…………

At this time, the Wei army had made defensive preparations. In the main general's tent, Shi Bei marked several points on the map with a pen. The deputy general Ning Suo asked curiously: "General, what do these points you marked on the map mean?"

Shi Bei explained: "I am guessing from which direction the enemy will attack us, and I feel I feel that the enemy will not attack Qicheng at the first time, but will attack us directly! So it may not be possible to attack from both sides. "

Deputy General Ning Suo smiled and said: "General, don't worry. Our army has more than 10,000 people. Even if the enemy has 50,000, they can't attack us."

Shi Bei shook his head and said: "What I am worried about is that the enemy will send a detachment to contain us, and then attack Qicheng with heavy troops. Gongsun Xi will be in danger at that time!"

When Ning Suo was about to persuade, a lieutenant rushed in and said hurriedly: "General, the Wei army is here! They didn't attack Qicheng, but came to us!"

Deputy General Ning Suo hadn't reacted yet, and Shi Bei picked up the sword on the table and said while walking: "Everyone prepare for battle! Prepare to kill the enemy!"

On the high ground, the front general of the Song army, Ling Zibi, looked at the Wei army above, thinking in his heart, I didn't expect the Wei army to have occupied this place, how can we fight? The enemy is on high ground, and our army is on low ground. If we attack forcefully, we will probably suffer heavy losses!

Just when Zibi was still thinking about how to occupy this place, a lieutenant came over and took out a bamboo slip and said, "General, this is what Lord You Bopu said. If the enemy has occupied the north, open this bamboo slip and read it."

Zibi opened it and read it again and again, and smiled: "So that's it, order the whole army to surround the Wei army. Since we can't go up, they don't have to come down! We'll just waste them like this! Order no one in the army to privately attack the Wei army on the mountain!"

The deputy general on the side reminded: "General, should we pay attention to the Wei army in the direction of Qicheng?"

Zibi smiled and said: "There are not many Wei troops in Qicheng. When I first came, I asked the people nearby. They said that there are only a few thousand Wei troops in the city, but there are more than 10,000 Wei troops on the mountain. A few thousand people may not even be able to defend a city well, so how dare they split their troops to fight me. Order the whole army to pay attention to the Wei army on the mountain!"

"Yes!"

On the mountain, the city saw that the Song army had no intention of attacking,Instead, they just surrounded them. He knew the plan of the Song army. They wanted to surround them to death here! It seems that Gongsun Xi is in danger.

Deputy General Ning Suo whispered: "General, the enemy surrounded us. What should we do if we are short of food? And we have to be careful about the water source."

Shi Bei laughed: "The food in the camp is enough for more than seven days, and I ordered people to dig several wells when I went up the mountain. Don't worry."

………

In Qicheng, Gongsun Xi also noticed that the Song army surrounded Shi. Gongsun Xi was overjoyed when he saw the way the Song army arranged the camp. A bold idea should appear in Gongsun Xi's mind.

Gongsun Xi gathered all the generals and said sternly: "Everyone, our army is now facing a critical moment. If we want to survive, we have to fight to the death. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Before the main force of the enemy arrives, our army should immediately go out of the city to attack the enemy! Now the enemy's camp is only arranged in the front, not the back, so I plan to lead all the cavalry and you to go out of the city together to take the opportunity to attack the enemy camp. If you win, you will live, and if you lose, you will die! Everyone, do you dare to go out of the city with me and fight the enemy to the death!"

The generals said with determination: "I am willing to follow the general's command. Swing! Fight the enemy to death!"

Gongsun Xi drew out the sharp sword from his waist, cut off the table in front of him with one sword, and shouted: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be punished like this!"

"Kill the enemy and don't retreat!"

………

Zi Bi led a group of generals to the foot of the mountain to survey the enemy situation. Zi Bi turned his head and said to the generals: "Order the whole army to guard strictly to prevent the enemy from coming down the mountain to attack! I want to let the Wei army starve to death and die of thirst on the mountain!"

"Report~~ General, it's not good. The Wei army in Qicheng is coming to my camp!" A soldier shouted while running.

Zi Bi panicked when he heard this and issued several orders: "Order the whole army, the rear army to the front army, the front army to the rear army! Hurry up and resist the enemy!"

The Song army hurriedly turned around to resist the attack of the Wei army. Because the Song army was unprepared, only a few thousand people arrived outside the camp and prepared for battle, and the rest were still in a panic.

Gongsun Xi rode a warhorse, holding a spear, and bravely rushed to the front of the army. Gongsun Xi saw the opportunity and ordered: "Draw the bow!"

Thousands of Wei cavalry took out the bows hanging on the horses, and with a perfect set of riding and shooting movements, thousands of arrows were shot at the Song army. More than half of the Song army who resisted were killed or wounded. Gongsun Xi took the lead and trampled on the Song army formation. The Song army formation of thousands of people was instantly broken by the Wei cavalry. The Wei cavalry was like a group of wolves driving a group of sheep. The Song army fled madly and rushed into the camp.

Gongsun Xi shouted: "Brothers, follow me and charge into the camp!"

Kill, kill~~

The Song army had no will to fight, and the camp was already in chaos. Zi Bi stood on the chariot and tried to stop the soldiers from running around. Gongsun Xi saw the location of the flag of the Song army's commander at a glance, and he was very excited. Looking at the flag of the enemy's commander was like seeing a stunning woman.The merit of the flag, according to the military merit of the Wei State, once the general is killed and the flag is captured, a thousand gold coins will be directly rewarded!

Gongsun Xi ordered the generals on the side to lead their troops to kill the Song army, and he personally led 300 cavalrymen to kill the central army of the Wei army.

Zi Bi didn't know that Gongsun Xi had already targeted him at this time, and he was still constantly ordering his personal soldiers to stop the Song army soldiers from escaping. The captain on the side found Gongsun Xi coming to kill them, and hurriedly reminded: "General, the enemy is killing towards the central army!"

"What!" Zi Bi looked in the direction of the captain's finger in horror, and just met Gongsun Xi's eyes. Seeing Gongsun Xi's face full of blood stains and his extraordinary bravery. He was so scared that he fell off the chariot.

The personal soldiers around saw the main general fall, and thought that the main general was dead and had already scattered like birds and beasts. Even the soldiers who protected the main general's flag dropped the flag and ran away.

Zi Bi had just gotten up and wanted to call his personal soldiers to rescue him, but he found that the flag had fallen to the ground and the Song army formation in the middle was in chaos. He looked up in panic in the direction of Gongsun Xi, and just happened to meet Gongsun Xi's spear. Before he could make a sound, his head was picked off by Gongsun Xi's spear.

On the mountain, Shi saw Gongsun Xi leading thousands of cavalrymen bravely fighting in and out of the Song army camp, and also ordered: "Order the whole army to follow me down the mountain to kill the enemy!"

The Song army was attacked from both sides, and the main general Zi Bi was killed. The soldiers surrendered one after another. The battle lasted until dusk, and the Wei army won a great victory.

………

At this time, You Bopu was still marching on the road, because his intention was to hope that his sons and daughters would lead the front army to occupy the high ground north of Qicheng first. If the high ground in the north was occupied by the enemy, he would ask them to surround the enemy army and then wait for his army to arrive. When he led the army to arrive, he would first break through Qicheng, and then join forces with Zibi to attack the Wei army on the mountain. As for why he was still on the march, it was mainly because of the siege equipment, because he thought that if he wanted to recapture a few layers, it would be impossible to ask the soldiers to climb the city wall with their hands, so he stopped and built siege equipment with local materials, which delayed some time.

Now that the siege equipment has been built, it is time to recapture Qicheng. Just as the whole army was advancing in a mighty manner, a riot broke out in front. You Bopu went to the front to see what happened in person. As a result, he saw a group of exhausted and defeated soldiers with messy clothes and armor as soon as he arrived in front.

A bad thought came into his mind, and he asked hurriedly: "Which unit are you from? What happened in Qicheng?"

A soldier cried and said: "General, we are your unit, we are your vanguard! According to your order, our army was going to occupy the high ground in the north, but the high ground had been occupied by the Wei army, so our army surrounded the enemy army."

"Why did we lose!" You Bopu asked anxiously.

The soldier cried and explained: "General Zibi led us to surround the Wei army on the high ground, and set up camps along the mountain road, but ZibiThe general only paid attention to the Wei army on the mountain, and did not pay attention to the Wei army in Qicheng, because he thought that the Wei army in Qicheng would not come out of the city to fight. As a result, the Wei army in Qicheng had a very brave general who personally led thousands of cavalry to kill through the camp. Later, the Wei army on the mountain also took advantage of the situation to attack, and General Zibi also died in the chaos. "Ah~~ You Bopu screamed, his heart was already bleeding, more than 10,000 soldiers were gone, and he kept cursing Zibi, this idiot, in his heart, for only paying attention to the Wei army on the mountain and not paying attention to the Wei army in the direction of Qicheng. Didn't he teach him many times? Why didn't he understand! Is there no more talented generals in Song State!

You Bopu sighed and said: "Order the whole army to retreat! Retreat to Ningling."

The surrounding generals saw that the commander had the intention to retreat, and they all advised: "General, our army is only a small defeat, why do we have to retreat? We still have more than 40,000 soldiers. ”

You Bopu shook his head and said, "We suffered a disastrous defeat right after the battle began. The morale of the army has dropped to the extreme, while the morale of the enemy is at its peak, so we must temporarily avoid the sharp edge and conserve our energy. If we attack rashly at this time, it will be difficult to win."

After hearing this, the generals also ordered their troops to retreat. You Bopu stood on the chariot and was still replaying the battle situation just now. After replaying it, he sighed and said, "The general who led thousands of cavalry to rush into our camp and kill in and out is really a talented general. He seems to be brave but not wise, but he is extremely sharp in using troops."

…………

Outside Waihuang City, Wei Shen led the army to surround Waihuang City. According to intelligence, there were only thousands of defenders in the city. Wei Shen observed the enemy situation for a while and ordered, "Attack the city! ”
