The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Chapter 194

Shangyi

Jingyou said excitedly: "General, we had such a great time killing last night! The Qin army was beaten to a pulp by us!"

Zhaoping laughed and said: "Wei Yang, it seems that he is not very good at using troops! I heard that he was a county magistrate in Wei State, and somehow he became the prime minister of Qin State. What a pity! He can reform the country, but he can't fight."

"Of course, the general is a master of using troops!" Qu Xiao flattered.

Report~~"General, the Qin army retreats 30 miles!"

"Order the whole army to cut down all the trees within ten miles! Jingyou, go and prepare the tools for defending the city!" Zhaoping ordered.

"Yes!"

Inside the tent

Wei Yang was reading the "Law Classic" written by Li Kui. Jing Jian walked in and said, "Da Liangzao, the Chu army went out of the city and cut down all the nearby trees. I guess the Chu army wants to fight to the death with us. If we attack by force, there will be heavy casualties!"

Wei Yang put down the bamboo slips and said, "I have thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"What strategy to defeat the enemy?" Jing Jian asked.

Wei Yang said cruelly: "The 3,000 prisoners I asked the king for are all people who are implicated by the same crime. As long as they can make contributions here, their families will not be implicated! So I plan to let these criminals take the lead! Let those criminals take weapons and charge forward without wearing armor."

Jing Jian objected as soon as he heard it: "Da Liangzao, those criminals are also human beings! Although they are guilty of the same crime, they should not be asked to die. At least give them a set of leather armor."

Wei Yang said seriously: "Giving those prisoners the opportunity to make meritorious contributions is a great blessing! As long as one of them dares to retreat, their families will be executed immediately! I believe those prisoners will do it. The right choice. Order Yingji to continue to build siege equipment. "

"Yes!"

Three days later, the Qin army arrived at the foot of Shangyi City, with hundreds of ladders standing in front of the battle. On the city, Zhaoping had no expression on his face. The deputy general Jingyou came over and said hurriedly: "General, it seems that the Qin army wants to force the attack on the city, and it is estimated that it will not be able to defend it."

Zhaoping called the young general Zihua and said earnestly: "Moao Zihua, you are still young now, and it is time to make great plans. We are getting old, more than 50 years old. This is my understanding of the use of troops, and I will give it to you. You leave Shangyi now, take the Lingyang trail, bypass Wuguan and go to Yingdu. "

"General! I swear to never retreat!" Zihua knelt on one knee.

Zhao Ping continued, "You are a great talent. The future of Chu depends on you young people. Go quickly! I know your talent. Leave here and fly high! Use your talent to serve the country!"

"General!" Zihua took the bamboo slips and cried bitterly.

Zhao Ping immediately ordered, "Zihua, you immediately take five people to tell the king the battle report here. Go quickly, this is an order!"

"Take care, general!"

After Zihua left, Zhao Ping looked at the dense Qin army outside the city and pulled out his sharpJian shouted: "All troops, fight to the death!"

"Attack the city!"

Kill, kill~~

"Death soldiers, move forward! Archers, shoot!"

"Shoot!"

Thousands of Qin soldiers, not wearing armor and wearing prison uniforms, rushed to the city wall like crazy with ladders. Wei Yang stood on the chariot with no expression. When those death soldiers attacked the city, he immediately ordered: "The front army attacks! The wells cover!"

The group of death soldiers rushed to the city wall like mad dogs and started fighting with the Chu army. They were completely desperate. The Chu army was beaten back by this group of Qin death soldiers without any sophisticated equipment. After all, everyone is afraid of people who don't want to die.

With the death soldiers opening the way, the Qin army easily attacked the city wall. The Chu army Zhaoping responded calmly, organizing the soldiers to form a formation to resist the enemy and commanding the soldiers to shoot arrows.

The elite soldiers of the Qin army also climbed up the city wall. These Qin soldiers attacked the Chu army as if they were in an empty land.

Zhao Ping also led his men to the battlefield to fight with the Qin army. The walls were full of blood, arrows, and corpses. The Qin army once attacked the tower.

The Chu army's resistance was getting weaker and weaker. After an unknown period of time, only a few Chu soldiers were left. The armor on these Chu soldiers was already tattered, and the swords in their hands were also incomplete. Chu General Zhao Ping threw down the sword in his hand, picked up another sword from the ground, which was still sharp, and shouted: "Kill!"

Several Chu soldiers rushed to the Qin army under the leadership of General Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping was stabbed to death by the Qin army. No Chu soldier in the whole city surrendered, and all died on the battlefield.

After Wei Yang seized Shangyi, he gave an order to massacre the city in revenge for the Qin army's night attack a few days ago.

The three kings in the city were killed by the Qin army. The whole city was like hell on earth, with no people and bloodbathed.

Jing Jian and others regarded Wei Yang as a tyrant. After all, there had been no massacres of people in the city.

However, Wei Yang said that it was for better rule, and this matter was known to all countries in the world. Wei Yang's hope of being famous in history turned into a bad reputation.

Wuguan

Jing Wu, the guard of Wuguan, still didn't know what happened in Shangyu until now. After all, no one had attacked Wuguan for a long time.

Night

Zi Cheying led a large army to lurk near Wuguan Pass. Zi Cheying asked the scouts nearby: "How many Chu troops are there in Wuguan Pass?"

"Less than 3,000!"

"Good! Let's attack them in the evening!"

At this time, Jing Wu was still drinking wine in the pass, watching the dancers dance leisurely.

There was no one patrolling in the whole pass, as if they were in peacetime.

Dozens of Qin soldiers climbed up the city wall and were surprised to find that there was no Chu soldier on the wall. They sighed in their hearts: "If all countries in the world could be as easy to fight as this, then my Qin State would have been invincible long ago."

The Qin army quietlyThe city gate was quietly opened, and the Qin army outside the city swarmed in, killing ~~

Report ~~ "General, the Qin army has entered the pass!"

"What! Qin army! Follow me to defend the city!"

The Chu army was unprepared and was caught off guard by the Qin army. The entire pass was in a state of collapse. The Chu army had long lost their fighting spirit and laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Qin army. But how could the fierce Qin army let go of the heads they had obtained? Regardless of whether these people surrendered or not, they cut off their heads and earned titles.

The next morning, the Qin army occupied Wuguan, and the 600-li Shangyu was all returned to the Qin State.

Jing Xiu led 50,000 troops but hurried to Wuguan. At this time, he was already discouraged in his heart, because the 200,000 Chu army was almost defeated under the command of their Jing family, and the entire army was annihilated. The King of Chu had long since stopped trusting them. The clan leader was beheaded by the King of Chu, and the young clan leader was demoted to Yunmengze by the King of Chu. Moreover, the support this time was provided by their family's private soldiers, and the king did not even want to give them the national soldiers.

Jing Xiu was also extremely disappointed. Originally, the Jing family had always controlled the army of Chu, but unexpectedly, not only could they not control the army of Chu, but even in the entire court, there was no place for the Jing family. Even the Jing family's fiefdom was cut in half by the King of Chu.

Just as he was wandering in his mind, a soldier ran over to report: "General, there are defeated soldiers!"

"Oh! Call them over!"

The defeated soldiers knelt in front of Jing Xiu and cried, "General! Wuguan failed!"
