Chapter 602: Raid on Jijing (5)
In fact, there is no need for Wang Jian to send people out of the city to transfer troops, the Qin army stationed outside the city has already heard the rumors, Bi Jing has been in chaos in Jijing City at this time, and the momentum is earth-shattering, of course, it is impossible for the outside of the city not to detect it at all.
The main general of the Qin army stationed in the south of Jijing City is called Feng Qing, and the camp is about three miles away from Jijing City, and the garrison is about 7,000 people.
Because it is a garrison outside the city, it is not afraid to be careless, it is much stricter than the city, and there are many soldiers who keep vigil at night, and after the fire broke out in Jijing City, the soldiers who kept watch at night immediately reported to Feng Qing that he knew.
Feng Qing was woken up from his sleep, and when he heard that there was a fire in Jijing City, there seemed to be a lot of movement, so he didn't take it lightly, after all, he was still in the territory of the enemy country, and anything could happen, and Qin Jun was still vigilant at this point. However, at this time, Feng Qing didn't know what was going on in the capital of Jijing, whether it was just an ordinary fire, or if someone was rebelling in the city. If it's just an ordinary fire, of course, don't worry about it, the army left behind in the city will naturally be able to deal with it, but if someone starts a rebellion, then it is necessary to gather the army and prepare to enter the city at any time to quell the chaos. Therefore, Feng Qing immediately sent several spies to Jijing City to find out the news, and then make a decision.
About half an hour later, the detective turned back to the camp and reported to Feng Qing that someone was deliberately setting fire to the city of Jijing and making **, and I heard that an army had broken through the east gate, entered the city of Jijing, and started a fierce battle with the defenders in the city, but because of the rush of time, I didn't inquire clearly, what was the army from there, and I didn't know the detailed battle situation in Lu Dao if, the detectives were afraid of Feng Qingjiu and others, so they sent two people to come back to report to Feng Qing first, and the others rushed to the east gate to inquire about the details.
After listening to the report of the detective, Feng Qing was also taken aback, he originally thought that at most, some remnants of the Yan Kingdom were making some trouble in the city, but now it seems that the situation is far more serious than he estimated, although he still does not know how the battle in the city is going, but Feng Qing did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered, ordering the whole army to get up and assemble and prepare for battle.
The garrison outside the city is indeed much more vigilant than the garrison inside the city, even if it is resting at night, a considerable part of the soldiers do not strip and unarmour, but wait for the day, so after Feng Qing passed the order, the Qin army's movements were very fast, it only took more than half an hour, and most of the soldiers were already dressed neatly, took their weapons, and formed a queue, and they could fight at any time.
At this time, Tan Xiao finally brought more detailed news to Feng Qing, and now it is roughly certain that the army that entered Jijing City is a representative army, and there are quite a few people, about five or six thousand people, who have completely occupied the east gate, and are dividing their troops to attack the north and south gates, and have launched a fierce battle with the Qin army on the long street, there have been many fires in Jijing City, and the general Wang Jian seems to be trapped in the mansion, losing his command ability, and the situation is very chaotic.
After getting these news, Feng Yi naturally knew the severity of the situation, after all, the Dai Army was different from the Yan Army, although he didn't know how the Dao Dai Army suddenly appeared in Jijing and entered Jijing City. But now I don't have time to study this, although Feng Yi did not receive Wang Jian's order to transfer troops, but Feng Qing is not a person who waits for orders rigidly. Enter the city as soon as possible to eliminate the Dai army, and rescue Wang Jian is the top priority.
So Feng Qing immediately ordered that he lead six thousand troops into the city to assist the Qin army in the city to eliminate the Dai army, leaving one thousand people to garrison the camp, because at this time the Qin army had already arranged the queue and could move at any time, so the action was very fast, and after a while, Feng Qing led the army out of the camp and rushed to Jijing City.
Six thousand troops are not a few, even if they are in a row of six people, they can discharge a thousand columns, and the long line can be as long as five or six hundred steps, which is almost a distance of one and a half miles. And the camp of the Qin army is only more than three miles away from Jijing City, so the leader of the Qin army has already walked half the way, and the tail of the team has just left the camp gate of the camp.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of killing in the south of the camp, and the figures shook in the night, and I don't know how many people came to the camp of the Qin army.
Launching an attack on the Qin army's camp, of course, is the army, their task is to prevent the Qin army outside the city from entering the city to rescue, ambushing near the Qin army's camp, just waiting for the Qin army to send troops from the camp, they will attack the Qin army, but after an ambush for most of the hour, although the Qin army's camp quickly reacted, and the movement was not small, almost the whole camp was alarmed. But they didn't see the Qin army out of the camp for a long time, so they were a little tired of waiting.
And finally waited for the Qin army to come out of the camp, so the Dai army immediately killed, first of all, the 3,000-foot army, from the south to the Qin army's camp.
Although Feng Qing left a thousand people in the camp to garrison, he really did not expect that there would be a representative army to surprise his own camp at this time, and the soldiers left behind were not to protect the camp and prevent the enemy's surprise attack, but just some soldiers who were responsible for guarding the baggage and logistics. Because in each army, there will be a certain proportion of logistics support soldiers, these soldiers are not strong in combat, and under normal circumstances, they are not used for fighting. Not only was the number small, but there was also little defense, so although there were also fortifications such as camp walls and trenches, they could not withstand the attacks of the Dai army.
After the Dai army rushed to the edge of the trench, the archers opened their bows and arrows, shooting a small number of Qin soldiers guarding the camp wall so that they could only hide under the camp wall, while the other Dai soldiers set up the wooden ladder on the trench and passed through the trench, and then set up a wooden ladder, climbed over the camp wall, and jumped into the Qin army's camp, and there were few Qin troops who resisted on the camp wall, so the Dai army also continued to pass the wooden ladder and enter the Qin army's camp.
Although the Qin army, which was suppressed by the bow and arrow just now, hid on the camp wall, resisted, but because the number of the Qin army was not large, and the representative army continued to enter the camp one after another, it could not stop the representative army from approaching at all, and was soon dispersed by the representative army, and another group of representative soldiers had opened the camp gate and put the army waiting outside the camp into the camp.
After the camp gate was opened, the Dai army immediately poured into the camp of the Qin army like a tide, although at this time the remaining personnel of the Qin army had already reacted, and they took up arms and launched an attack on the Dai army, but at this time the camp gate had been lost, and the Qin army left behind was not strong in combat effectiveness, and the number was far less than that of the Dai army, so it was not the opponent of the Dai army at all, and was killed and killed by the Dai army, and the Dai army soon developed like the depths of the Qin army's camp, and set fire everywhere in the camp, and after a while, There were many fires in the camp of the Qin army, and although the fire was not big for the time being, it would definitely get bigger and bigger as time went by.
At this time, the Qin army that reinforced Jijing City had all walked out of the camp, because Feng Qing led the Qin army to walk in front of the Qin army, so at this time he had walked out of almost two miles away, and he could vaguely see the city wall of Jijing, and he could hear the dense and noisy shouting and killing sound from the city, indicating that the battle in the city was fierce.
Feng Qing was about to urge the team to hurry into the city, but at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind, and a cavalryman hurried to Feng Qing's chariot from behind, jumped off his horse, and said with a frightened expression: "General, our large camp has been attacked by the Dai army. ”
Feng Qing was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the direction of his big camp, because it was in the dark night, he couldn't see it clearly, and this place was close to Jijing, he could only hear the sound of shouting and killing from the city, Feng Qing just vaguely felt that the lights in the direction of the big camp seemed to be brighter. However, he knew that the person who reported the news would never lie about the military situation.
At this time, Feng Qing also fell into a dilemma, because at this time, if he returned to the army to rescue the camp, of course, he would not be able to reinforce Jijing, and if he continued to reinforce Jijing, then he could only sit back and watch the camp be broken by the Dai army. You can only choose one or the other, and you have to make a decision right away.
Feng Qing thought about it briefly and finally decided to return to the army to rescue the camp. Because at this time, he did not receive Wang Jian's order to transfer him to lead the army into the city to help, but completely out of the obligation of friendly troops, automatically sent troops to support, and the camp is Feng Qing's fundamental responsibility, it can be said that Jijing is lost, Feng Qing is only implicated at most, and once the camp is lost, Feng Qing is naturally inseparable from the main involvement, so it is reasonable, Feng Qing must focus on his own camp, in the case that both parties need assistance, Feng Qing chose to return to the army first to rescue the camp, which is also a matter of course.
So Feng Qing immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and the rear team changed to the front team, and immediately returned to the army.
However, although Feng Qing's order was handed down, now the Qin army's ranks are too long, and it is in the dark night, and the news transmission is inconvenient, so it is not easy to turn around immediately, it will take a certain amount of time, and it will also cause short-term chaos.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense horses' hooves, which spread rapidly from far and near. Feng Qing couldn't help but be surprised, this is the cavalry army from there, is it also a substitute army? So how many men and horses are there in the Dai army, not only can they raid Jijing City, but also attack their own camp, and they can actually divide a cavalry army to attack the Qin army out of the camp, and at the same time divide the troops into a three-way assault, is this possible?
Before Feng Qing could come up with a reason, he saw that in the darkness, countless cavalry troops were killed, war horses galloped, and knights brandished spears and rushed towards the Qin army.
Although Feng Qing's reaction was quite fast, and he immediately ordered the Qin army to prepare for battle, but it was useless at all, because at this time, the Qin army had already formed a long line, not a queue for combat, and was turning back to the army, some armies had a short period of confusion, and the cavalry of the Dai army came too suddenly, so the Qin army did not have time to make any preparations for battle, and the cavalry of the Dai army rushed to the queue of the Qin army, the war horses galloped back and forth, and the spears stabbed out quickly, and the Qin army fell to the ground in rows like mowing grass. And the queue of the Qin army was quickly broken into dozens of sections by the Dai army, and there was immediately chaos.
