Chapter 102: Give Up

Taking advantage of the last light in heaven and earth, Anqi hoped for a miracle, but he also knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to pull out the royal city. Even if the main general Bai Lin did not fall from the city, the Qin army on the city could not stop the Wei army's soldiers and artillery. In particular, artillery, a weapon like a broomstick, swept away the Qin soldiers who rushed to the city, forcing them to fight to the death with the soldiers to the west. The Qin army with the armor and the sword and shield was not their opponent at all.

An Qi, who insisted for a moment, sighed to the sky, but he still did not agree with Mingjin, but said: "Inform the general that my soldiers are blind and blind, and the city cannot be attacked at night, and General Bai and General Bai have ......."

Anqi was about to say that Bai Lin was killed, when a few shouts suddenly came from the front line of mourning, and the white flag fluttered and shook in the dim place under the wall. Su Fu, the commander who was staring at the city, shouted excitedly: "General Bai is fine, General Bai is unharmed, and General Bai is ...... harm."

"Bai Lin fell into the city and was unharmed?" In the sand sea camp, the afterglow of the west was reflected on Wang Qian's face, and he watched the battle all afternoon. The fact that the crossbow queen in the white forest fell from the head of the city four feet and eight feet high and was still alive could not help but make him feel a little surprised and happy.

This battle was not provoked by him, but by the Chu army. Even before the mobilization of the Chu army, he had asked Zhao Zheng for war, but he was determined to fight with the Chu army only after learning that the grain and straw would do his best. Since he was forced to fight, the odds were uncertain, and when he suddenly heard a miracle in a desperate state of mind, he inevitably gave birth to a glimmer of hope.

"It's fine." The officers who came to summon the news did not understand why the general cared about Bai Lin and not about the war in the city. Wang Jian didn't pay attention to his surprise, and asked him to step back, raise Lu Li's mirror and continue to observe the battlefield twenty miles away.

Or because of the snow, the sunset is completely obscured by the low clouds, which make the clouds seem to be framed with uneven gold edges. It is only through the tiny cracks in the clouds that the glow shines with difficulty. The battlefield was cut off by light, the rear of the Chu army was a golden light, and the battlefield of the battle was extremely dim, forming a strong contrast with each other.

The phoenix flag is bathed in light, hunting and showing. In the northeast of the sand sea, you can still see the flag that is tilted to the side and pulled tightly by the north wind, and the three-headed phoenix is as staring as always, arrogant and with some disgust. The King of Chu on his dragon horse was also illuminated by the glow, and when Wang Jian pointed Lu Lijing at him, the huge armor on his body constantly emitted a dazzling reflection, which was very blinding. Wang Jian could only move Lu Lijing, aiming his vision at the Chu army who were charging the spear and the cavalry on both sides of the array.

The purpose of several battles was to increase the exhaustion of the Chu army. After the cavalry arranged in the center of the array charged the artillery array, the infantry quickly rushed forward, and the two sides quickly exchanged troops. The Chu army rushed to the spear as expected, but the most taboo thing for the Qin army was that the Chu army was dragged out of the artillery array bombardment from the pontoon boats and from the artillery array that was submerged by the horse corpses, and they could only rely on the cavalry to stop it.

This situation divided the battlefield into two, one was the battle of the infantry of the two armies. In this battlefield, the Chu army rushed unremittingly, and the Qin army was constrained by the array and could only have a short recoil, and then the trebuchet behind the formation continued to throw fire oil bombs. It was the same as the shogunate's guess before the war: most of the chieftain spears in the hands of the Qin soldiers could not pierce the huge armor on the Chu army, while the Yi spear in the hands of the Chu army could easily pierce the cloth armor or leather armor on the Qin soldiers.

The spear array of the Chu army burst into flames from time to time, and the array of the Qin army was thinned by the rushing spears little by little, and one after another of the soldiers fell into the rushing spears of the Chu army. What the main general Wang Ben could do was to order the rear formation to go forward to make up for the formation every time there were only fifteen lines left in the front formation, until the last line of soldiers was used up.

The infantry battlefield is like this, and the other battlefield is the cavalry battlefield. The cavalry led by Yu Fen planned to hook the flanks of the Chu army from both flanks, but this was naturally blocked by the Chu cavalry. However, the number of Chu cavalry was limited, and the Qin cavalry, which was three times the enemy, completely overwhelmed the Chu cavalry in terms of numbers, and the Chu cavalry had to rely on thousands of dragon horses to support the situation.

Rao is like this, the squad Qin Qi can still penetrate their blockade and enter the back of the Chu army's formation. However, this level of hook attack did not have much effect on the Chu army's spear array, and the only advantage of these Qin cavalry was to prevent the artillery on the pontoon from landing on the shore, and also to prevent the artillery buried by the horse corpse behind the Chu army's spear array from participating in the battle again.

On the battlefield, the biggest problem of the Qin army was the lack of effective means of killing and killing the enemy, and the only weapon was the fire oil bombs fired by the trebuchets behind the formation, but once the Chu army changed formation, it could not defeat the Chu army by fire oil bombs alone. Witnessing the entire battlefield, this made Wang Jian once again shatter a glimmer of hope because Bai Lin was not dead, and in despair, he put away Lu Lijing and never looked at the battlefield again.

Liu Chi and the others saw that Wang Jian put away Lu Lijing, and also put away Lu Lijing—just now, Wang Ben pressed the last twenty lines of soldiers, and the thin thirty-five line array could not support it for long. In the wind, there was silence for a while, and Liu Chi said: "Although the young general did not defend for three days, it is beyond reproach that the Jing people used the building boat to break our boat division, and only held it for one day. I thought I should send someone to protect the major general......"

"Three days is three days, how can it be another day?" As soon as Wang Jian said it, it was blown away by the strong wind, and his expression was a little blank, and there was no emotion on his face. "If three days can only be held for one day, how can my soldiers fight with the Jing people? If our army is invincible, what am I guilty of? ”

Wang Jian was worshiped as a general as the result of Zhao Zheng's coercion, but since he became a general, he has been under a heavy pressure all the time. Bai Lin's fall from the city to death gave him a glimmer of hope, but this message gave him more of a despair. The Chu soldiers were tightly wrapped in huge armor, while the Qin soldiers were mostly naked, and less than a third of them had armor-piercing weapons. But they were all subject to the array, and they couldn't rush the spear like the Chu army.

"Someone!" Wang Jian shouted, and the military officials quickly rushed to the wooden platform to obey the order. "Bai Lin's subordinates can't fight at night, so they should return to the sand sea with trebuchets as soon as possible, and fight the Jing people tomorrow. The Anqi Department stayed in Daliang and defended the city wall to prevent the Wei and Zhao armies from joining forces with the Chu army. ”

When Wang Jian gave this order, Liu Chi was shocked. This order is equivalent to giving up the 20,000 sets of armor and 100,000 spears in the arsenal of Wei, and giving up the armor in the arsenal of Wei is equivalent to giving up the victory of this war.

"How can a great general be like this!" Liu Chi opened his mouth, and tried to stop it several times but didn't make a sound. "Without the armor of the Wei people, how can our army win?"

"Trebuchet wins." Wang Jian waved his hand and pointed to the battle that was about to end twenty miles away.

"I can kill the thorns, but the trebuchet ear!" There was an indescribable pain on Wang Qian's face. The reason for this situation is related to the fact that most of the more than 200,000 Qin troops have inferior weapons in their hands, and they do not have many qualified chieftain spears and Chu style Yi spears. "Without trebuchets, you can't break the Jing people, and without trebuchets, you can't break the city of the Wei king. Which is more important? Breaking the thorns is also important. ”

"Since the main beam is no longer attacked, what good is it for the young general to block the Jing people at this time? Ask the general to recall the major general. "Wang Luo, the general of the guard, shouldn't have spoken, but when he heard that Wang Jian had decided not to attack Daliang City again, he was worried about Wang Ben and took the opportunity to speak.

One persuaded Wang Jian not to give up attacking the beam, and the other persuaded Wang Jian that if he gave up attacking the beam, then Wang Ben should be recalled. Different positions have different suggestions, Wang Jian did not mess around, he ignored the two people around him, but shouted again. When the military officials arrived, he first bowed to the west, and then said: "The minister respectfully tells the king: If the southern city of Daliang is not pulled out, our army will not be able to capture the armor of the Wei people." Tomorrow will fight with King Jing, and the victory or defeat will be far less than that of Wuwu. The army sent by the king must not come to the aid of each other, and if the minister is defeated, the king should enter the Hangu Pass to defend the ......"

Wang Jian is explaining what happened later. Not only did he give up continuing to attack Daliang, but he also advised the reinforcements not to come close to the rescue - with the 100,000 people in Bailin, the Qin army in Shahai had reached 700,000, but this was not all of the Qin army, at least 40,000 lieutenants and guards.

Like the Battle of Changping, the most critical moment of the Battle of Changping, Prince Qin Zhao personally went to Hanoi, 'giving the people all the first level, and the age of fifteen or more learned about Changping, covering Zhao and food'. Now Zhao Zheng also gave the people a knight, and recruited men over the age of fifteen who were not registered in Hedong (19 counties), Shangdang (13 counties), Hanoi (19 counties), Sanchuan (22 counties), and Dong County (26 counties) in case of emergency.

Men aged 15 and 16 make up no more than 1.2 per cent of the total population, and even with the addition of a small number of men aged 14, the population of more than 2 million in 99 counties in five counties is only 60,000 recruits. This army was already on its way to the Shahai, but it had come to this point, and Wang Jian hoped that the 100,000 people would not come again. The most important thing they should do is to defend Hangu Pass after the defeat and try to negotiate peace with the state of Chu.

Previously, Liu Chi, who recalled Bailin's department, wanted to persuade him, but now he heard that Wang Jian had admonished the king with his blunt words, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The biting north wind poured into his open mouth, almost freezing his entire body.

"Hooray! Banzai! Long live ......" When the glow completely faded, even against the north wind, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people in the Chu army were still deafening. No matter how tenacious the Qin army was, the array was still broken by the Chu army. But unlike the previous broken formation, the Qin soldiers, who were afraid of military law and even more afraid of rangers, did not flee after the formation was broken, but were no longer bound by the array, and rushed back to the Chu army with the idea of dying together.

The backlash of the Qin people surprised the Chu army very much, and the Qin people did not take advantage of the darkness to flee for their lives, but rushed up to send them to death, which was really unusual. The Chu army ignored the Qin soldiers who rushed into the spear array and the spear array, and only aimed at the Qin soldiers who rushed to the front of the formation without an array. When these Qin pawns were broken by them with a string of spears, the spearmen in the front row immediately swirled around and turned to attack the Qin pawns between the spear arrays.

There is always a limit to madness, and when the Qin pawns found themselves caught by the Chu army's spear array, especially by the Chu pawns behind them, fear finally came to their hearts, and they fled to the south where there was no attack. Three or four hundred steps away to the south is the chasm, seeing the Qin pawn coming, the Chu army on the pontoon bridge is determined to defend the time, 'bang la la ......', the huge sound of water sounded, and the Qin pawn who rushed to the chasm jumped directly into the chasm in a panic.
